I've been working on an Insect deck for quite sometime now, and I would like some input from the realms community. The deck revolves around both beatdown and deck destruction. If you r/f I will return the favor if you like, just leave a link to your deck in your post.
Colony Deck Devastator
Deck Total: x41
Monsters: x20
2x Ultimate Insect LV5

1x Pinch Hopper (I may drop it for Sangan, not really needed)
3x Needle Worm
1x Morphing Jar
1x Mid Shield Gardna (should I make it two?)
1x Tsukuyomi
1x Gokipon
Spells: x15
3x Fissure (no spare Smashing, & with HIGH ATK power in this deck... no need..)
2x Nobleman of Crossout
1x Graceful Charity
1x Card Destruction
2x Book of Taiyou

1x Premature Burial
1x Heavy Storm
1x MST
Traps: x6
3x Dust Tornado
1x Mirror Force
1x Torrential Tribute
1x Call of the Haunted
other thoughts:
I have considered dropping both Swords of Revealing Light & Nightmare's Steelcage for 2x Sakuretsu Armor since it is more removal, but they help in stalling to abuse Needleworm's and Morphing Jar's effects. What say you guys? Sakuretsu's or no?
I have considered dropping Pinch Hopper (since he's not really needed) in order to make the deck 40 cards BUT I'm thinking that keeping it at 41 will help myself in not decking out due to much drawing power (Graceful Charity, Card Destruction, Morphing Jar). And I have come close many times to decking out with this deck. What do you guys think?
With Nobleman of Crossout being a big pain to this deck now that it's back at 2 again,...I have HIGHLY considered using 2 Mid Shield Gardna instead of 1 (or just keep 1 and then use a Sangan). HAVE TO protect my flips! What say you guys?
Cards I've thought about:
Sangan (he can search out Gardna, Tsukoyomi, Needle Worms, Morphing Jar,...)
Magical Merchant
Sakuretsu Armor
Bottomless Trap Hole
Breaker the Magical Warrior
Big Bang Shot
Magic Drain (protect against Smashing, Noblemans, etc...)
Hm, interesting deck. A good friend of mine ran an Insect-Chaos deck using 3x Doom Dozers instead of Chaos monsters ^^. It was a beast of a deck, 2800 ATK insects special summoned. Ouch. It seems like you're trying to do two things though, Draw Out and Beatdown. Choose one or the other is my advice. If you stick with this deck though, I'd say take out one Fissure, I think 2 is enough for any deck, that way you can run 40. You gotta remember, your monsters are just as good monster removal as your magic and trap.
Also, a Pot of Avarice might work nicely in here. But you'd have to add another Pinch Hopper or two to help get monsters in the Graveyard.
Raditz:
How can you run Chaos without Chaos Sorcerer (or even call it chaos)?! LOL!
With Doom Dozer in this deck Pot of Avarice could get me into trouble.
Running both beatdown and deckout has actually worked really well! It actually gives Chainsaw Insect and Doom Dozer effects a use.
I've thought if I have to drop a card it would be Pinch Hopper (cause he usually doesn't help). Having insane removal allows for direct attacks whenever possible (good with Chainsaw Insect). Plus having lots and lots of removal in this deck is not a bad thing.
Negate That:
I'm already running 1 Mid Shield Gardna (he works pretty much the same as Big Shield).
Ceasefire would negate my own flip effect while activated....but I will be side decked!
My Body as Shield is a great card as well. But don't you think I should probably go with a Solemn Judgment instead? Side deck material?
regeki404:
Um...Tsukuyomi is already in there.
Ulitmate Insect LV7 is not really needed, but he's side decked.
Man-Eater Bugs are also side decked but not really needed (there is already PLENTY of monster removal in the deck man, sheesh! LOL)
I have given Magical Merchant some SERIOUS thought! But,...does the deck really need him is the question....
Nice deck. I have an almost exact same version of this deck expect I have Anteatereatingant instead of the Ultimates.
How many Anteaters do you run? I preferably would only go with one. He's a good card, but he's costly and is bad top deck material. I wish you were able to just remove m/t from the graveyard to bring him out....but then he'd be EXTREMELY BROKEN! LOL!
I have two side decked though in case i run into stall decks or m/t heavy decks...
I think Magical Mercant would be a good idea for this deck. Faster/more food for doom dozer. Pot of Avarice would be a good idea in that case. My bro ran an insect deck mostly based on Ultimate Insect and it was awsome (before SOI). I keep trying to get him to rebuild his insect deck now that the SOI insects are out. Maybe I will since he won't.
Another card I suggest is The Shallow Grave, since you are using so many flip effects. Then you wouldn't have to worry so much about protecting them.
