well, since rescue cat was mentioned, there is one thing that needs to be kept in mind with that card. At the end phase, the monsters that were summoned with it, are destroyed. ok, that being said, let's see what we can do with say......an ultimate offering or two.no one has mentioned this card yet. seems to me that this would be an excellent addition to a beast deck. Iw as trying to figure out a way to maximize rescue cat's effect, and so far, this seems like the only way, besides zero gravity and the blade rabbits. I will continue to think, as I would like to exploit the beasts my self.

Edit: Guess there is one other way to make everything work even better. it's called.......DNA Surgery. Just use it to your advantage. It's not like you have to call something different every time.

haha...nice never thought of using the cats :O *poor lil kitty's* i think ill test em out once i get them

Let us not forget, we are taking about BEASTS. Not beast-warriors, or winged beasts. Most of the cards in FET only specify beasts. That means no Poison Fangs for Battle Ox. Of course, as stated by others, DNA surgery really helps. I think that all of this support, really doesn't help all that much. You will end up setting most of your hand. The only card I know of that helps all Beast type variations is Wild Nature's Release, from IOC. For tourney play, I can only see WNR as being the only true beast support card; since you will be running probably two Chirons, two Oxes, and two Manticores. I favor adding Chiron, Behemoth, Hyena, and Mammoth, into existing Beast decks. I think beast has the widest range of monster power and tactics available to any type.

poison fangs may not work for battle ox but lets not forget its wonderful effect will let poison fangs work almost every time you attack with any beast.

Since I've been wanting to try out a Beast Deck myself, I'll post here what I think is a good Beast deck (I don't know anything about FET cards yet)

one card that i'm really suprised that no one posted is my personal fav lock down beast. yes im talking about the 2700 thumper mystical knight of jakal

mystical knight of jakal
light
7 stars
beast-warrior
effect; you can return you opponet's own monster that is sent to the graveyard by this monster as a result of battle to the top of his/her deck.

now for the rulings

MYSTICAL KNIGHT OF JACKAL


In order to activate the effect of "Mystical Knight of Jackal", the monster that "Mystical Knight of Jackal" destroyed as a result of battle must be your opponent’s own monster, not one of your monsters that your opponent controls.

"Mystical Knight of Jackal" sends a monster to the Graveyard as a result of battle, and THEN returns it to the top of the deck, so "Sangan" or "Witch of the Black Forest", etc., will activate their effects..

If "Banisher of the Light" is in play, the monster is removed from play and "Mystical Knight of Jackal" does not activate its effect so the monster does not return to the top of the Deck.

If "Mystical Knight of Jackal" attacks a face-down "Man-Eater Bug", and "Man-Eater Bug" destroys "Mystical Knight of Jackal", then the effect of "Mystical Knight of Jackal" is not applied.

"Mystical Knight of Jackal" does activate its effect even if "Necrovalley" is in play.

When "Mystical Knight of Jackal" attacks "Mystic Tomato", during the End Step both effects activate simultaneously once "Mystic Tomato" is sent to the Graveyard, so they form a chain. The turn player’s effect is Step 1 of a chain, and the opponent’s is Step 2; so "Mystic Tomato" resolves first, and a monster is Special Summoned and the Deck shuffled. Then the turn player chooses whether to place "Mystic Tomato" on top of the owner’s Deck with the effect of "Mystical Knight of Jackal".


now presonaly i think this makes behemoth look like a joke if this thing hits then it's all over. yeah behemoth keeps your card advantage but if this swings off you'll have the much better card advantage becuse you opponent won't be drawing anything new. behemoth is stronger than it true but a lot of things were stronger than yata and look at what havoc that reecked. mystic lv6 is just a student to the original.

Well the problem with this monster is that it is a Beast-Warrior, not a Beast. Therefore, most of the boost available from Flaming Eternity would not apply.

DNA Surgery would solve that problem wouldn't it?.............................................

DNA surgery would, also Andro Sphinx and Sphinx Teleia work real good with Poison fangs.

How many monsters should be in a beast/earth deck?

And anyone know the staples for a beast deck?

I think beasts are terribly over-powered. Here is my reasoning:

Manticore of Darkness: allows constant field presence, can turn a discard cost into an advantage; 2300 atk.

Behemoth the King of All Animals: one-for-one trade, two-for-one at best; 2000/2700 atk.

Big-Tusked Mammoth: great for control, 2000 atk.

Berserk Gorilla: 2000 attacking every chance it gets, what about this is bad?

Chiron the Mage: breaking every turn, provided you have a spare magic; 1800 atk too.

Enraged Battle Ox: constant trample for him and all beast types; 1700 atk.

King Tiger Wanghu: auto-kills all less than 1400 atk monsters, 1700 atk.

Bazoo the Soul Eater: optional added power, up to 2500 atk.

Mad Dog of Darkness: 1900 beatstick.

Pitchblack Warwolf: the jinzo-like beast; 1600 atk.

Mimble Momonga: gains 1000 LP, and summons two more; 1000 atk.

Hyena: summons two more; 1000 atk.

Even the Sacred Pheonix.

And others with plausible effects that have little use.


As you can see, high attack power and great effects that touch on all needed aspects of gameplay. What other type has this much power? Especially after the ban list hits. I have the answer, none. Provide the right support and I see little that can stand up to the challenge. I think Cold Wave is the answer. You know, after the fall of the dinosaurs, (are dinos strong in this game?), the only ones to survive the Ice Age were the mammals (or something cheesy like that).

I hope my newly updated beast deck has all the power that I talk about. If not, then let me know. If you must, look down in the sig, please.

I heard a ruling that you CAN you scape goats now with Manticore of Darkness. If that's true, man, beast decks are really getting powerful. I can't wait to build one now, looking at all the options.

Well dont be forgetting everyones little friend scapegoats, so many uses, not enough time.

okay well firstly there great in any deck there usual effects, then we have the fact that there beasts, so if gaia's on the field you have 4 monsters with combined 2000atk, which is okak, and lets say you have a beserk gorilla on the field too, thats 4000 damage if you get a direct shot, which is great, now there was another nice card released in Fet, (march of the animals, i think) like an A-forces for beast, but what good would that do i hear someone say, well with just say enraged battle ox on the field and scape goats thats 1200atk bonus, and lets say you manage to squeeze in a gaia too, thats 4 1700atk trample monsters and a 3400atk monster with trample, and if you get a direct shot in thats 10200 damage, or just say you dont have gaia, thats still, 7700 which i think is awhsome, but you can judge,

well i ran a beast fussion deck, but that was pre fet so i havent updated yet, i ran summoner of illussions, this card is nice, offer a goat to special summon the daddy of all beasts, master of oz, that with an enraged battle ox is deadly, also with a wild natures release is unstoppable, then you can either metamorph or inter dimensional matter transporter.

thats just a quick thought or two

Personaly I have played the Sphinx beasts and they are chalanging. I have had problems running a light / sphinx deck but am trying to redo the deck to become a beast / trample deck. Beast soul swap is now something that could be alot of fun.
