First post in a while, but then I went to my first tourny in a while about two weeks ago. Here is the deck I took to the top 4:

Took this deck to a tournament over the weekend and went 2-1 for a Top 4 finish, losing in the semis. It was my first tourny in about 4 months. It performed very well, the Enemy Controllers really helped the deck. And the sidedeck built around the Creator actually worked too - I was able to bring back a DMoC discarded via Graceful Charity with the Creator, getting back Nobleman and attacking for game to get me to the top 4.

{1} Dark Magician of Chaos
{1} Jinzo
{1} Ryu Kokki
{2} Vampire Lord
{2} Cyber Dragon

{1} Breaker the Magical Warrior
{3} Pyramid Turtle
{3} Nimble Momanga
{1} Sangan
{2} Apprentice Magician
{1} Old Vindictive Magician
{1} Magician of Faith
{1} Spirit Reaper
{1} Big Shield Guardna (added after the tournament, it was a Giant Rat)

{3} Enemy Controller
{2} Brain Control
{2} Mausoleum of the Emperor
{1} Graceful Charity
{1} Premature Burial
{1} MST
{1} Creature Swap
{1} Nobleman of Crossout
{1} Fissure
{1} Smashing Ground
{1} Pot of Avarice (was added after, it was a Scapegoat)
{1} Heavy Storm

{2} Royal Decree
{1} Ring of Destruction
{1} Call of the Haunted
{1} Mirror Force (added after, was Torrential Tribute)

Sidedeck:

{2} The Creator
{2} Creator Incarnate
{2} Exiled Force
{2} Don Zaloog
{2} Reinforcement of the Army
{2} Giant Trunade
{2} Solemn Judgment
{1} Royal Decree
{1} Torrential Tribute

The side allows me to be more aggressive, I can take out the Apprentice engine when facing a Monarch deck for Exileds/Creator. No one expected Dons to be sided in either.

Not bad. I like the Zombie aspect to this deck. About the only suggestion I can think of is swapping Creature Swap with Emergency provisions. With all the life points you are paying out, it could help.

very nice deck....just drop the royal decree in the side deck...

1) 2 is always plenty

and 2) u have 16 cards in ur side deck

0-)

9/10 on the deck...please r/f either or both of mine

only thing i might change is take out ryu kokki for a 2nd old vindictive magician

other than that it looks great!!!

Thanks guys...I never liked Emergency Provisions, but it does help out with LP...so I might try it out.

I like the two Kokkis so I can suicide the Monarchs...

And I'll take out that extra decree to make 15 cards in the side! Lol.

Anyone else? I could always use more advice! :)

I'd drop Call from the main to bring in Torrential. You've got one extra card in your side and this fix would take care of that.

I'd also side Mystic lvl 2 given how much it hurts Monarch, Stall, just about anything.
