Note: RoTAs will be taken out once I get my enemy controllers and Zombryas will be taken out for Giant Orcs when I get them.

Where did all the people go?

hm.........8 views and nobody except for myself posting here.

i think it is a interesting build .... you should almost always hava a target for deck devastation virus with 8 targets personally i like to run a little more life gain in my skill drain even though this is a hybrid ... i would say you have plenty of ways to keep monsteres on the field so scrap treeborn and maybe the cyber dragon's for three nimbles or if you like your monsters how they are then - 2 magic or traps for +2 poison of the old man thats my two cents good luck could you rate my skill drain deck

hm........life gain doesn't work for me. I'm more concerned with smashing face. Yeah, I'm having a slight difficulty in deciding treeborn's use in this deck. Cyber Dragons are better than nimbles because their special summon effect is not affected by Skill Drain and also because they're much bigger than nimbles. I don't really like Poison of the Old Man. Doesn't really help my version of this deck.

I wonder, Hajime, if this build is better than the last one I ran 2 days ago at the local tourney.

*assumes this is perfect cause nobody's giving suggestions*

Nobody seems to like zombies T_T

We all like Zombies Monkeyman...its just that they are scary looking. But on a more serious note, I think the problem is that not many peoples ever played Skill Drain and as such dont know much how to make decks based on it. I took a Skill Drain deck to the Canadian nationals and did pretty well. Skill Drain paired with Zombies is something I never really tried but I'll do my best to help you.

I guess that you use a Saku and not a Mirror Force because you dont have one. I must say that I really liked using Newdorias in my Skill Drain because they simply work better than Exiled Forces (they do not leave you with an open field). When you will remove the ROtAs from the deck I would suggest maybe swapping 1 Exiled for Newdorias since you can only get screwed by their single Nobleman if you set it when Skill Drain is active (no Zaborgs or Drillroid). Reaper is nice but its a big liability if Skill Drain is on the field (maybe again a Newdoria). Also, you might nwant to trade one of your bottomless for a Dust Tornado in case somebody activates Decree.

Well, let me know what you think of my suggestions and have a look at my decks if you want. Good luck.

I must admit anyone using Zombrya is cool, but i see why your using Giant orc.

Myphil: I would like to use Giant Orc but I don't have any.

Nalfein: I don't have Newdorias T_T but maybe I can trade for them. Yeah. I would so love to have enemy controllers T_T, must go buy gadget deck. In case of Decree, I'm not actually that worried about it but I'll wait till I play against one.

I would like to request some help mainly because I drew dead a couple of times today during a local tournament. Like someone I know said: It looks stable on paper...........

nices idiea dude but u can make it alot beter and make a killer decki made zomibe deck tht was evil it was zomibes bite

so what do you mean? at least put up some sort of fix.

You will always draw dead in a deck like this because you are using many cards that are only useful with other specific cards. It is too easy to draw a hand full of fusiliers and zombryas and not draw skill drain, etc...

My suggestion is slim down the focus of your deck... if you want to stick with skill drain, use stuff like morphing jar and/or an apprentice engine (note it still works with skill drain active) to slim down your deck so that you have a better chance of drawing important cards. Definitely take out the reinforcements or put in some other useful warriors (dream clown is one... see below)

A Zero Gravity/Labyrinth of Nightmare build works well "underneath" skill drain, since it can put giant orc back in attack mode, stop attacks, clown, and is just generally useful as it screws with your opponent's monsters.

IMO if you dont like the above idea the best monsters to combine with skill drain are dragons, because spear dragon, luster dragon #_, Masked Dragon, Red-Eyes Chick/Kaibaman, Paladin of White Dragon, Blue-Eyes/Red-Eyes ALL could care less about skill drain. While at the same time, if you dont draw it, they can still hold their own.

Anyway I digress... your deck looks like a few decks mixed together... I understand you might be limited on some cards, but still... at the very least, Reasoning, magical Merchant, Apprentice engine etc.... to do some serious deck thinning so that you can get your combos in play.
