Heh, I was wondering how long it would take you to bring this guy up waldo :p

In fact, I'm kinda excited about this one myself, because there are sooooo many ways to abuse his effect: Book Of Moon, Enemy Controller, Earthquake, Labyrinth Of Nightmare...
And, of course, the biggie:

FET-JP042
SEALING SWORDS OF DARKNESS
Permanent Magic
When this card is activated, change all of the Monster cards on
your opponent's Field to face-down defense mode. Also, while
this card is on the Field, Monsters on your opponent's Field
can't be changed to face-up. During your second Standby Phase,
destroy this card.


Slap a couple of equips on this boy and the duel will be over in a couple of turns ^^

Shadowslayer is my FAV card from FET, next to Magu(?)-Gire Panda. That defense position business is so easy to abuse...Gravity Axe + Stumbling, anybody???

My Pulverizing Anvils deck has so much more ammo now with this, I LOVE IT! Just Imagine:

Tsuyukomi comes to the field, puts monster A face down.
Inferno Hammer beats the snot out of weak monster B, does LP damage and places monster C face down
Now Shadowslayer goes in, and strikes directly.
If I'm having a really good day, Mefist can come in, equipped with the Ballista of Rampart Smashing to do mondo trample AND thin the hand.

...ooh the possibilities are endless!

Here's three cheers for Brain Jacker and Shadowslayer! 8^D

Wait a second...did you truly imply that Inferno Hammer is playable now??

>_>

<_<


Woopee!!

Since they banned witch of the black forest does that mean that musician king is unplayble ?

Red Magister: You can still fuse Lady of Faith with a Fusion Sub.


HOw about this one guys:

Summon Shadowslayer, equip him with Gravity Axe. Set 4 cards facedown

Your opponent draws:

Activate Ojama Trio, SS the three Tokens and activate Offerings to the Doomed/Ring of Destruction/etc to destroy 1 of them and inflict 300 points of damage.
Activate the second Ojama Trio and activate Spatial Collapse.

Game over.

Another great combo is to activate the card Dragon-Reborn loves so much:

FET-EN042
Swords of Concealing Light
Spell - Continuous
When you activate this card, change all monsters on your opponent's side of the field to face-down Defense Position. As long as this card remains face-up on the field, monsters on your opponent's side of the field cannot change their Battle Positions. Destroy this card during your 2nd Standby Phase after activation.

Then during your second Draw Phase after you activated Swords, activate:

Solomon's Lawbook
Normal Trap
Skip yourt next Standby Phase.

And Swords of Concealing Darkness is here to stay!

And I also don't care that they restricted Good Goblin Housekeeping down to 2. I'll still run that combo.

What does not belong? A drum, an egg, or a Fiend Deck?
Well, you can beat a drum. You can beat an egg, but you can't beat a Fiend Deck.

Hey waldo, im a fiend duelist and i greatly admire the work ur doing, could u please come look at my fiend deck and tell me what you think, http://www.yugiohrealms.com/forum/sh...d.php?t=412683
i would greatly like to hear what u have to say im going to repost all the changes iv made so it will be at the end of the post because the post is getting long, but iv been getting some good rateing and i want a rateing from the best
thanks

"Behold I send you out as sheep amidst the fiends"

Hey Waldo, this is an easier way to get a psuedolock out of Shadow Slayer:

Stumbling + Gravity Axe of Grarl. 1900 direct every turn. Not as effective as the Ojama/Spatial lock, but a bit easier to pull off.

Hey do guys think ectoplasmer is a good necrofear, fiend combo? at the end of each turn u get rid of a la jin, or an opticols, even a giant orc for 1100 damage, ull have necrofear out almost right away, take over your opponents monster with necrofear and just deal the damage back to them, its an easy way to deal damage without attack, and ur not loosing any field advantage because ur just making necrofood, while your opponents stratgy is going to hell because he has to give up his monsters with no use out of it, tell me what u think

Would you consider 5 (other) archfiends - 3 Soldiers and 2 axes - a cyber jar (to special summon him and 3 revival cards (Premature Burial, COtH, PMoDR) enough methods of summoning to make using 2 Terrorkings useable. I'm testing at the moment and so far its working well, just wondering if you think that is enough.

Hey fiends out there! I just got done with the FET preview fun and I realized two amazing things that fiends get to use out of this deck....

Brain Jacker - A lot of people are giving this card some slack because it has to survive the attack and what's the point of giving them life points. But I say it can be super powerful due to one little helper you may have forgotten about: Bark of Dark Ruler. Yes, I already run two in my deck and it is SUCH a helper.

Consider the following the other night. I've got Jacker and Bark of Dark Ruler set on the field, opponent just summons Mobius, and fortunately didn't hit my Bark. They move in for the kill. I activate Bark during damage calculation. Since Brain Jacker has a mediocre 900 DEF. I only had to pay 1500 LP to make it a 900/900 tie. But now I get to Brain Jack the Mobius and use it to go to town.

Deck Destruction Virus - I'm a little reluctant to see this card in widespread use because you have to sac a relatively high ball DARK monster and most decks out there, like cookie cutters, are only running maybe 1 or 2 of that caliber. But for the fiends, this becomes almost second nature. Everything I'm reading requires the current ATK of the monster to be 2000, not the original. Consider the following:

With a pair of fiends on the field, bring out GK really quick with two fiends, sac and devastate. You could even speed this up with a nice Last Will/Tomato squishing play.
Bring out a Jeroid, lower opponent, Axe Jeroid to 2200 and devastate
Minionize your Shadowslayer, Slate, Mefist, what have you and devastate
In all of that, I didn't have to worry about losing my 'Pomie, Ha Des, or Necrofear, though I can see sacing them too 8^D

I can't wait to unleash these babies within the Eyes of Despair.... gotta go work! 8^D

Aww. I wanted to be the first to mention the virus. Oh well, i can still do a review on it. First, the virus itself:

DECK DEVASTATION VIRUS (*Note: this card has errata from the printed text).
[Trap Card]
Tribute 1 DARK monster with an ATK of 2000 points or more on your side of the field. Check all monsters on your opponent's side of the field, your opponent's hand, and all cards he/she draws during your opponent's next 3 turns, and destroy all monsters with an ATK of 1500 or less.

Errata’d text: Tribute 1 DARK monster with an ATK of 2000 points or more on your side of the field. Check all monsters on your opponent's side of the field, your opponent's hand, and all cards he/she draws (until the end of your opponent's 3rd turn after this card's activation), and destroy all monsters with an ATK of 1500 or less. (It includes cards the opponent may draw during your turn, with “Good Goblin Housekeeping”, etc.)

Now, at first glance, ppl may think.."It only gets rid of 1500 or less? and i have to sac a powerful mon for it? Why is this restricted?"

my response would be..."you have no idea." Lets look at the big picture, shall we. This card will see tourney play when the new ban list is effective. Now, whats on the ban list?

Painful choice: And now we come to reason one why DDV will rock. With painful gone, duelists will most likely run more element searchers. (tomato and shining angel come to mind...thanks to Waldo for this bit of insight) If they are on the field or in the hand when DDV goes off.....heh, no deck thinning for you. Also, dont forget that many powerful effect mons have low attack. such as cyber jar or spirit reaper.

Confiscation and forceful sentry: These cards were banned mainly for the reason that they let you look at your opp. hand. With these cards gone, DDV is the best option to get a sneak peek at what your opp. has in store for you.


Now, as for the sacrifice requirement.........This shouldn't even be an issue for us fiendish duelists. We have terrorking, giant orc, heck even nuvia the wicked if you want to get crazy.

As for DDV being restricted. Well, we can look to our good buddy, mask of darkness. If, after reading this, you still dont think DDV is a very fiendish trap, Im sure our resident fiend Master, Waldo, will enlighten you all.

I will now leave you with a quote from Waldo himself about DDV which was said when I met him this past sunday....." I LOVE THIS TRAP!"

LOL!!!

HA HA HA HA!!!

I LOVE THIS TRAP!!!

I finally got the guts to smash my Fiend deck and made it a Speed Drawing deck.

Still Fiend, of course, but now, PURE fiend (except for Cyber Jar!). Dropped Soldier, dropped MoF, dropped Painful, dropped Fiber, dropped Bottomless Trap Hole, dropped Soul Release, and 5 other cards in my deck.

Hello to a few new cards to my deck and hopefully they’ll be welcomed by the Fiends in my deck:

Card of Safe Return – recursion equals Drawing Power? Sounds good to me. I filled my deck full of recursion and this card was an obvious choice. I gotta get my second one.

Spear Cretin – This little guy reminds me of Gollum from LotR. He’s so evil looking. He digs the Graveyard for a monster and is currently one of the few effects that allow you to SS from your graveyard in face-down defense position OR face-up attack position. Necrofear, Terrorking, Giant Orc in attack position, or Cyber Jar (to thin out the deck), Spear Cretin (to form a wall), Mask of Darkness (to get back traps like DDV) in face-down defense position and just about any monster but Dark Ruler and Helpoemer. Of course, this gives me recursion, which equals drawing power thanks to Card of Safe Return.

Puppet Magic of Dark Ruler – Recursion equals Drawing power! And with Enemy Controller, Snatch Steal, Necrofear, and Mind Control, removing my opponent’s monsters make this card THRICE as good.

Deck Devastation Virus – I LOVE THIS TRAP! Giant Orc becomes a DEADLY monster, Goblin King becomes EVEN MORE evil. This trap is my new Staple. And even though it’s GOING to be restricted to 1 per deck, until April first, I’ll be running 2, maybe 3. For my opening move, I usually set Terrorking and wait for him to be destroyed and discard Desrook to SS him (Recursion equals Drawing Power!). However, my plans can be hindered because of that nasty Crossout and D.D. Warrior Lady. But now, if my plan goes awry, I just tribute him for DDV and watch the fireworks fly!

D.D. Designator – When the players at my store saw me trade Blast Magician for 2 D.D. Designators didn't get why I was laughing and celebrating until one of them got it! “Don’t trade it to him!!! He looks at your hand for 4 turns after DDV!!!”. But alas, it was too late. The “Spell card version of D.D. Warrior Lady”

Phoenix Wing Wind Blast – Put a card back to their hand. Call it with D.D. Designator. WHAMMY!

Card Destruction – After DDV, this card is brutal!!! Plus I need some deck thinning.

"What? You attack my Giant Orc while he's in Defense mode?
You shouldn't do that. He's got a very contagious sickness called "Deck Devastation Virus". Ooops! Look at that! You've been infected!!!

OMG wow. That Virus is looking awfully tasty, especially for the fiend hand destro concept I'm working on. I'll be on dueling hiatus until after my spring break (ends March 13th)...but I'll definitely be sure to make use of the 'Input' button on my sim program and plug in a Virus. :D Not to mention I'm already going to try some evil Time Seal cycling tricks...now that I think of it, Drop Offs might be even better.

Drop Offs are DEFINITELY better in this case.

You don’t want your opponent skipping their Draw Phases. You want them to draw those monsters and keep dropping them.

And don’t forget Mind Crush.
