I've been running a new tactic lately this weekend that has been quite nice. With all the tributes needed for Raigeki Break, Tribute to the Doomed, Magic Jammer and others, I went ahead and threw in a Marie the Fallen one. I don' t intend on summoning her unless I'm really in a bind, but heck, she starts getting me some life points right off the bat. 8^D Happy fiending everybody!

Well, I had a pretty good day with my fiend deck. It started out with pulling an Airknight from a single pack of LOD.

After that it was time for the tourny, and I lost the first match. I didn't get very good first hands - final duel I had nothing but magic, but they were decent. I set up well, only to get Heavy Stormed.

Then I went up against a strange deck...Reasoning of sorts. He beat me first game, I remember, so it was looking good. But then my streak started. He had an Injection on the field, I had two Germs in defense. He sacrificed his Injection for Dark Magician Girl, full of confidence that he had me beaten. I had 200 lifepoints left, I needed a miracle. I had Necrofear in hand and 2 Germs on the field, with 2 fiends in the grave.

I draw Dark Ruler Ha Des. Sac one of the germs. Remove 3 fiends. Bring out Necrofear. And all out attack for game!

I won the next 3 matches straight, for a record of 3-1. Then of course in the final round (five round swiss tournament) my deck goes cold again. I lost in two rounds, fast, to warriors - sigh. It was a good duel though. Then we played a couple, and I beat him down fast in two turns with Jinzo/Slates.

All in all a good day - my toughest match was actually against a Levia deck; the kid kept using the new water monster Abyss Soldier, or something like that. It's basically another TIV - except it returns monsters to the hand. He got me first game, I sidedecked and apparently it worked for I won the next two.

Overall Ectoplasmer was just ok. I never really got Malice Doll/Ectoplasmer going, and it only seemed to slow down the deck. It worked amazingly fast at times, but other times was a lot slower. I've since made some changes, and need to go after a few cards to make it work.

Metamorphais is going to have a big prescense at Regionals, I know that for sure. :laugh:

how many necrofears should be used in a necrofear deck? I'm using three, but should i have another? My deck is in the sig, so i'd be delighted if a fiendish person rated my "Fiendish Fun Featuring Blade Knight" deck.

i find 2 works best, most of the time 3 will just slow you down, even with 3 giant germs. 2 necrofears and 2 6* monsters works well enoguh for me.

I wasn't running Metamorphasis, actually. And where do you get the notion that it'll be weak post ban? I've been running it in various forms a lot, and it's doing pretty well...I had an earlier deck that focused totally on Metamorphasis, and it did very well...6th place in a larger tournament.

I think it's actually a very versatile decktype, because you can respond to any situation with either TER or Dark Balter.

As for Necrofear's, max out at 2 only. 3 is too much.

I'd never built a Necrofear deck before today, so I'm not all too certain of a few things.
Basically, my deck is Fiend Control/Beatdown, and what I need to know is: would it be better to run 1 Return From The D.D. or stick to Torrential Tribute/Ring Of Destruction?

The advantage to Return is I can remove my Orcs/Slates/Goblin Kings, then bring them back again, but I feel running only 1 return card isn't really worth the effort.
Also, which would be better: Torrential, Ring, or both?

I really hope you mean you have 2 dark necrofears and want to add another cause your deck would be illegal if you didnt.

Um, what? I wonder where that came from...

Like I said before, 2 Necrofears is ideal. 3 is too many.

Still puzzled by that above comment...lol, where'd you hear that?

This is who he was refering to DMU.

4 Necrofears? WOW!! j/k LOL!!!

hey waldo. Im not sure if you remember me, but i met you once at the regionals at nuetral grounds (small regionals, wasnt it, lol) last year. I played you with my burn deck, using the one fiend you said you disliked: the lava golem. I met you again on the first day of the IOC pre-release. (thats where i saw you truly display your fiendishness in duels, lol)

Anyways, ive been running a fiend/archfiend deck for a while. In fact, its my only pre-ban deck. This is an awesome topic. Ive been trying to track it for a while but i couldnt keep up with how fast it went. 0.o

I dont know if this has been mentioned, but one card im using in my deck is rivalry of warlords. I like to use different and weird cards as a tech to see how well it does. Ahh, theres nothing better than having 3-4 fiends on my field while my opp. can only have one monster on their field face-up. My fiend comedians are a pretty cool tech. too. especially with fiber jar :devious:

Ah, ok. Lol. I was just wondering if he'd somewhere that you must have 3 Necrofears in a fiend deck....you never know what some people'll start, or some crazy ruling...

On another note, I am now working on a Fiend Meta deck for a box tournament this coming weekend - I've got a week to prep for it. There's a certain card I need for it, 3 copies, but probably won't be able to get them in a week. Oh well....but I've got a pretty clear idea in my head for the deck. Let's just say it involves 3 Mefists.

Tyrant's Keeper
Gah! You FOUND me!!! *where's my calomine lotion?* I remember that duel. Burned me to to high hell. SO wassup? Why don't you come around Neutral and play? I'm there every weekday from 5pm - 6:30pm. Stop by anytime.

pyrofire14
YOU'RE BACK!!!! OH Man!!! Some...of...the...guys...missed you. *wipes away tear* Man, there's some dust in the air or something.

"Starting Point"
Excellent card for fiend decks! While comboing it with Night Assailant IS the main Goal here, getting a Fiend to the graveyard is NEVER a bad thing for a fiend deck. Of course, it also combos well with "Drop Off" and "Mind Crush" during their Draw Phase.

DMU
Hmmmm....3 Mefists? You run Cost Down and Soul Exchange with that?
