I think I'll do a deck series based on the Seven Deadly Sins, like I did for the chapters of Musashi's Book of Five Rings awhile back. Except this will probably be weekly-to-bi-weekly, as opposed to one a day like the Musashi series. Like the Musashi series, it'll mostly be decks not commonly seen. Suggest fixes and stuff for it, and the rest when they come... but yeah, enjoy, I think...

We start, with Greed.

As you may and/or may not know, Greed is the major source of damage in this deck, helped along by burn from Des Koala, Magical Thorns, Chain Strike, and the 2400 ATK of the ALMIGHTY CHAINSAW INSECT.

For those who question my use of Hiro's Shadow Scout: Don't ride me about it, he's AWSOME in this deck.

try swapping the Thorns and Cursed Seal for 2 Fake Trap and 1 Bubble Burst. First 2 protect Greed (which is all important here) and the last will help counteract all the forced drawing you are giving your opponent.

btw, I love the idea for the theme. I did the exact same thing back before Advanced Format was released. Its probably buried way in the past, but they were all Fiend decks. With the last several expansions, formats, ect. this is good to try out.

I might try the Fake Traps in a little while, after this model gets a good playtest tommorow.

Mystic Tomato really doesn't help. What would be nice, would be to add Sasuke Samurai #3 and Penalty Game!. They can easily turn your opponents look of joy in to a nasty frown :( !

My bad, I already had #3 in there, just forgot the #3 part :)

And Penalty Game!? I'll take a look, should be interesting

Trust me Penalty Game! + it being His Turn = Him droping alot of cards at his end phase

I'll see what I can do with it, then :)

How could you forget Morphing Jar.
Nice Deck
99/100

Easy to forget Morphing Jar when I don't have it :)

Thanks guys

I can't seem to find my Penalty Game!...

but after looking at my brother's, I honestly don't see how it'll help this deck. Care to elaborate?

I don't understand with Penalty Game either, could you explain this for us Saito?

What I think might help would be something like Cold Wave, that way your opponent can only play one card per turn, and it can't be a Spell or Trap. With a really large hand your enemy would then have to discard a lot during their End Phase if they can only play a monster each turn and nothing else.

(note, sarcasm from here on)
Of course, you should also switch your Fissures for Smashing Grounds, your Needle Ceiling for a Mirror Force, etc. etc.
(end sarcasm)

Your deck looks pretty neat Oddspirit.

Cold Wave also ends up hindering ME... please note, most of the damage I can do with this deck relies on my Spells and Traps :)

So no Cold Wave for OddSpirit

Hmm, yes that does make sense. You could try the trap that says "whenever your opponent draws from an effect, you can draw as well" I can not remember the name of it however.

I just remembered, it is Appropriate. I'm not sure if that would do well or not, it seems like it might.

No, no, no!!! Appropriate lets me draw 2 cards whenever my opponent draws card(s) outside their draw phase.

That means I'm taking damage too. BAD BERRIES!

Nice try, though :)

Maybe I should see what Greed does before I give more suggestions, I think I'll do that now.
