Even though it's not quite September 1st, my local card shop is enforcing the brand new ban list at my weekly tournament. The deck below is the one I used in my local tournament last Saturday, which led me to a 3rd place finish. I would like to know what you guys think of it and what changes should be made to it. Here it is:

40 CARD DECK
MONSTERS: 20 TOTAL
Magician of Faith
Treeborn Frog
Apprentice Magician x2
Old Vindictive Magician x2
Sangan
Spirit Reaper
Breaker the Magical Warrior
Dekoichi the Battlechanted Locomotive x2
D.D. Warrior Lady

Mobius the Frost Monarch

SPELLS: 12 TOTAL

Mystical Space Typhoon
Pot of Avarice
Premature Burial

Swords of Revealing Light

TRAPS: 8 TOTAL
Bottomless Trap Hole x2

Mirror Force
Ring of Destruction
Sakuretsu Armor x2
Torrential Tribute

SIDE DECK: 15 CARDS TOTAL
Mystic Swordsman LV2

Zaborg the Thunder Monarch
Mobius the Frost Monarch
Book of Moon
Lightning Vortex
Nobleman of Crossout

Scapegoat
Bottomless Trap Hole
Chain Disappearance
Dust Tornado x2



The side deck seems very random to me and could use some fixing. I have been debating whether I should use 2 Dekoichis or 2 Exarion Universes. I seem to favor the Exarion Universes at the moment but I would like some input on which should be in the deck. Post on my deck and I will return the favor, if you have a certain deck you would like me to post on please specify that deck. Thank you for looking at this deck!!

Just a few things...

-1 Exiled Force
+1 Mystic Swordsman LV2

-1 Bottomless Trap Hole
+1 Ring of Destruction

-1 Jinzo
-1 Treeborn Frog
+1 Mobius
+1 Zaborg

Other than that it looks great. Good Luck next weekend.

The rate - 9.5/10 (w/my fixes of course, lol)


-1 Swords of Revealing Light
+1 Confiscation

2 Brain Control's with just two tributes(excluding Cyber's of course) is eww take one out for a swap since you have apprentice's and froggy and take out a 2 Bottomless for ring and crossout.

CardMaster92: Even though I really like running 2 Exiled Forces I will test Mystic Swordsman LV2. I can spare the Bottomless Trap Hole for the Ring of Destruction because I run 3 Bottomless Trap Holes. I will try Zaborg in the place of Jinzo, but I won't take out the Treeborn Frog to maindeck a second Mobius. I have never used Confiscation before, so I will give it a shot in the place of Swords of Revealing Light.

SquirrelArty69: I have tested Creature Swap in similar decks to this and it just doesn't seem to work for me. I will test Nobleman of Crossout and Ring of Destruction in the place of a Brain Control and Bottomless Trap Hole.

Thank you both for your assistance, it is greatly appreciated!!! Keep the posts coming!

- 2 Enemy Controller
- 2 Dekoichi the Battlechanted Locomotive
- 1 Sakuretsu Armor
- 1 Bottomless Trap Hole

+ 1 Maurading Captain
+ 1 Lightning Vortex
+ 1 Nobleman of Crossout
+ 1 Mystic Swordsman LV2
+ 1 Spirit Barrier
+ 1 Astral Barrier

Otherwise, goodluck on your 3rd place, keep tryin for first =]

Spirit and Astral Barrier will probably stay out of this deck. Marauding Captain most likely will also stay out. I will test Mystic Swordsman LV2 and Nobleman of Crossout. I would like to keep Lightning Vortex in the side deck for now. Thank you for the ideas!

First off, congrats on the 3rd place finish. I think that the deck looks good as it is. Personally, keep the Jinzo. People have started running a lot of traps recently, and he hurts them badly. I could see one Old Vindictive coming out for a DD Assailant/MS LV 2/Exarion/Blade Knight/Don Zaloog, etc. Whatever will fit your style of play. I also like the two Brain Controls. They can get something out of your way for that finishing touch. Personally I don't like Enemy Controller, so maybe replace one with a Book of Moon. Otherwise, great deck.

I tested Zaborg in the place of Jinzo and Jinzo works better. With Snatch Steal and Chaos Sorcerer banned, I have no fear using Jinzo. I will test Don Zaloog in the place of 1 Old Vindictive Magician. I will test Book of Moon in the place of 1 Enemy Controller. Thank you for the ideas!!

The only change I have made to this deck is swaping Ring of Destruction for a Bottomless Trap Hole. After testing the changes this afternoon, Ring of Destruction was the only change that did any good. Please keep the posts coming!

Good Deck!
- Mobius
+ Zaborg
- Treeborn Frog
+ Hand of Nephthys
- Reflect Bounder
+ Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys
- Bottomless Trap Hole
+ Scapegoat

I will keep the Sacred Phoenix idea in the back of my mind. At the moment I would like to keep it out of this deck, but that could change anytime. Treeborn Frog stays for now. If the Mobius starts to be ineffective, I will switch it with Zaborg. I would like to leave both of my Bottomless Trap Holes in the deck for now. Thank you for the ideas! Please keep the posts coming!!!

i think this is a good deck i would say about 9.3/10 =) keep working on it
