It's not that hard really.

A properly built archfiend deck (one that gets "Pandemonium" on the field quickly) will use "Pandemonium"'s effect to turn each archfiend into a searcher, making the deck thin out VERY quickly.

Add 2-3 "Terraforming" and 1 or 2 "An Owl of Luck" and you'll thin out the deck by searching for "Pandemonium".

2 "Reinforcement of the Army" will help search for Warrior of Zera.

"Archfiend's Roar" costs 500 LP but it revives an Archfiend and destroys it in the End Phase to activate "Pandemonium"'s effect.

If you want to get crazy, play a "Last Will" or 2. Activate "Last Will" before you tribute "Warrior of Zera" to search for an Archfiend of 1500 or less. Or activate "Last Will" and then activate "Archfiend's Roar". During the End Phase, you can get both "Pandemonium"'s effect to search for an Archfiend AND "Last Will"'s effect to special summon a monster with 1500ATK or less.

"Summoner of Illusions" is great in an archfiend deck too. His FLIP effect can either Special summon "Fiend Skull Dragon" to stay on the field or B. Skull Dragon, who is destroyed at the End of the turn and allows to to search for ANY archfiend AND you can activate "A Deal with Dark Ruler" to special Summon "Beserk Dragon" and however he MUST lose 500ATK. You can also summon Master of Oz, who has more than 8 stars.


Like I've always said. the Archfiend deck is one of THE hardest decks to master. It takes a LOT of practice and trail and error and a LOT of patience to pull it off, but the satisfaction of playing THE most difficult deck there is and WINNING with it is nearly unmatched.


Oh and Tyrant, I saw your deck. Very Awesome. LOL!!! VERY mean!

"By sacrificing 3 monsters from my graveyard [...] allow me to introduce you to Dark Necrofear, a great beast of ultimate darkness that will show you no mercy!!!"

Yep, thanx for looking at it. I figured its about time i contributed to the fiendishness.

there's plenty of choices of Archfiends with under 1500 to be special summoned via Last Will, we've got

Vilepawn Archfiend
Infernalqueen Archfiend
Darkbishop Archfiend
Desrook Archfiend
Pandemonium Watchbear (if you run it to protect Pandemonium)

best choices would be Vilepawn, Infernalqueen, and Darkbishop as Desrook would be more usefull in the hand to keep reviving Terrorking

the only archfiends i like useing is archfiend soldier and archfiend of lighting, well thats just me i dont like paying every turn. even with life abosrbing machine

Funny, Im just as selective about my Archfiends. But, in my case I tend to use Terrorking, InfernalQueen and Lesser.

Vilepawn, Shadowknight, DarkBishop, even Desrook dont suit me as much.

i was thinking of messing around with terrokings myself...hmm i just might do that

Well, you guys know me and variety is the spice of life. I'd probably run 2 or 3 of each to keep the variety and options open to a successful match. Then again, this is all words spoken by a blind man when it comes to Archfiend decks, so I'll have to build one soon 8^D

...Which is why I have decided to take this deck up! I am disbanding all my decks with the exception of this one and my Scapegoat Abuse, which is my most reliable deck. This is what I plan on having it look like. It's based around getting Mazera Deville out 1st-3rd turn. I was trying to work in Archlord Zerato, but didn't find the room. Let me know what you all think!

I like that deck pyrofire...but something is telling me Black Luster won't fit. I'd rather use a Necrofear in here...

Not sure if you saw it earlier, but waldo mentioned a Mystick Wok/Berserk Dragon/Necrofear combo that was pretty mean. It'd be pretty easy to use here I think.

I just don't want to tweak the deck much...it just looks tribute heavy. The 3 Reloads are nice, but there's also a card in the new set (RDS) called Lighten the Load that might help. It allows you to return a level 7 + from your hand to your deck, and draw another card. Continuous Magic as well. Maybe take out 1 Reload/Scapegoat for it.

That's all I can really think of for the deck...thanks again for taking a look at mine!

Of course I saw the post! I don't think I've EVER missed a post by Waldo as long as I've known him... Hehe... His words are divine, I must study and memorize them ^_^

But as for Mystik Wok... I think it just kind of develops the bad hands. I would rather just attack or whatnot and have you kill Mazera and then I can chain the Deal from my hand since it is a quickplay and it will be my turn, and so I wouldn't have to run the risk of having it Dust Tornado'd/MST'd when I set it. But I could be wrong...

I might just add Lighten the Load. It sounds pretty good actually, I ran a few in my all-tribute deck and I really liked it. Gets rid of those useless 2 tribute monsters from your hand and into your deck where they belong. But in this case I want Mazera, so that changes everything...

I changed some things around in the deck. There's a link to it in my signature for all those who want to check it out and/or comment on it (please do... I'm so lonely...)

Lol on Waldo's words...I've got like 20 pages small type saved on my comp of all the fiend strategies he's helped to inspire.

And I'll hop on over to the deck and give it a bump.

Hey, guys! How about when we get to 90 pages, how about some Root Beer Floats? I'm sure that the Dark Ruler Ha Des can go without wine for one time.

Anyway, does anyone know some of the new fiend-type cards coming in the next set?

One more thing, the report is almost done, and once it is I will post it either here or General Discussion. Either way, I'll let you know. Cya around ^_^

Yeah many many pages have helped me with my fiend deck.
I hope there are good fiends in the next set and yet i don't sounds strange but considering the time and money ive spent on cards. i'm finally almost done with my deck and putting new cards out would start the cycle again.

Ahh man! I think DMU will have some serious fun with that one! He's the Fiend Meta King as far as I can see, plus double that with say a Contract with the Dark Ruler for Bezerk Dragon...oooh, nasty fiendish times are here again! Just in time for the holidays 8^D
