The most efficient method of renewal is through destruction. To break a thing down into it's base components and then rebuild it from the ground up, cleansing it of any flaws, is the only process of rebirth that results in a more perfect thing than before.

It is through a blazing inferno that a lump of coal becomes a marvelous diamond or a handful of sand becomes a brilliant pane of glass, and it is through a fiery death that a metal is made stronger and more luminous.

This is the truth.

Interesting deck though...
So you intend to get rid of cards quickly, then reuse them...?

lol. Yeah. It's an Alchemic thing...perfection through destruction.

I have a thing for alchemy...quote is mine though...made it up specially for this thread. :p

Anyway.

Yep. This deck is built to do 2 things and 2 things only. Summon the Phoenix and destroy stuff.

Pretty straightforward. *nods*

I thought about adding in a Hidden Book of Spell (or whatever that trap is called) that shuffles spells from your grave back into the deck. I still might if I find something doesn't work quite right and needs to be replaced.

Needle Worm is serving no purpose in this deck. You need either Apprentice Magicians or Flying Kamakiris to search out Hand.

I just like the worm...it's cute...kinda...

>_>

<_<

Alright, replace the worms for 2 Apprentices and a Night Assailant.

And while I'm at it I took out swords for that Hidden Book of Spell. (shuffles 2 spells from the graveyard back into the deck...)

Now it's like pure destruction cards...everything kills something, or searches out something that kills something...or lets me reuse something that kills something...

My opponents aren't gonna be able to keep anything on the field. Like, at all...

i would rather have Old Vinditive Magician in here instead of Night Assaliant, he looks cooler i think........

But otherwise i dont see much for this deck to do make it any better.........very nice 9.5/10......

If you go to any tournaments leave a report here to see how it does........


I also am a fan of Alchemy........a very interesting side subject to study.........


Please r/f my volcanic deck! Thanks!!!!

Ohhhh! Hey that's not a bad idea at all...does the same thing (Flip: Destroy) annnnnddd it can be searched by aprentice magician. *runs to room and starts digging in trunk*

Thanks. ^_^

Don't get to go to many tournys...it's pretty much local card shop duels for me. :ermm:

I'll let ya know how it does there though. :p

It really is. Did you know Issac Newton was an Alchemist? I had no idea until I saw a TV show on it a few years ago...:classic:

Yes, i knew somting like this, also Alchemy was what helped start Chemistry............if i heard right back in 6th grade............dunno

I would...

-1 Lesser Fiend

He doesn't really need to be in here.

+1 Breaker the Magical Warrior

He is almost a must in any deck.

-2 Apprentice Magician
-1 Old Vindictive

Playing defensive monsters and flip effects is risky in this meta since there is the risk of card like Six Sam Irou, Shield Crush, and Nobleman.

+3 Flying Kamakiri

They can still help you search out Hand of Nephthys.

-3 Pitch Black Warwolf

Since you have Phoenix, you don't need to worry about battle based traps like Sak Armor and Mirror Force.

+2 Sasuke Samurai #4

He is a wind so he is searchable by Flying Kam. Great for unsuspected destruction.

+1 D.D. Warrior Lady

Also good for getting rid of little annoyances like Spirit Reaper and Treeborn Frog.

-1 Giant Trunade
-1 Mystical Space Typhoon

You'll have plenty of spell and trap control without these.

-1 Soul Exchange

3 is overkill.

+3 Shrink

This way you can help control the Monarch population.

-1 Lightning Vortex
-1 Card Destruction

3 Vortex is too much and why is Card Destruction in here?

+1 Brain Control

Makes up for the lost Soul Exchange.

+1 Smahing Ground

Makes up for the lost Lightning.

-1 Sakuretsu Armor

+1 Mirror Force

....duh...

With this should make the deck more competative.

Can you check out my Trap Hate deck in my sig? Thanks.

*Nods*

Ok. That sounds reasonable.

Also reasonable.

*taking notes*

Eh, don't have either... :ermm:

Also don't have. *sadness*

I actualy like Card Destruction. I use it in like every deck I've ever built...ever. Not only does it let me dump a crap hand and draw new (possibly better) cards, it also kills my opponent's hand (possibly killing any good cards they may have had. For example, play trunade to bounce all S/Ts then play Card Destruction. They loose any S/T's they had set and now they are missing a great deal of their deck. [which was a decent combo when I had those 3 needle worms in there...])

But good point about the Brain Control...*switches out a soul exchange*

Smashing Ground eh? I kinda like Lightning better...it has a discard attached but it also kills more stuff...

Well, yeah. I'd obviously do that if I had a mirror force. You know how hard those things are to get? :p


I can, yes. Probably won't be much help...but I can try. :D

How about this:

- Lightning Vortex
+ Dark world Lightning

That way you still have the discard effect you want, but now you have the ability to destroy a face down.


Please return the favour with the Horus deck in sign......TY

It's not the discard I like...it's the ability to destroy up to 5 monsters with one card.

I know that's never gonna happen, (it usually maxes out at 2...3 if I'm really lucky) but I like that the possibility is there.

Also...I don't have that card either. -_- *slump*

Horus. Now thats something I know about. ^_^

Yeah I realize the combo with Card Destruction. I used to use it in Dark World. But the problem I found out with that combo is that since your opponent has more cards in there hand when they all get dumped they get more when they draw. Simple as that. Yeah they will be missing part of there deck, which wouldn't be a problem, but that part of there deck is in there hand now. Your opponent may get a better hand than they had to begin with as well. The problem is that both opponents have an equal opportunity to turn the duel around. And if you are winning you really don't want to risk it playing Card Destrution. If your losing, you could give them something to beat you even worse. Yes you could draw stuff to turn around the duel but I personally tend not to risk anything like that. But its your call since its your deck and your play style.

I had a revelation...

What is the most pure and perfect deck possible?

The answer is simple. A simple deck.

The simplest deck possible. A deck of only 14 cards.

Look. You can run 3 copies of (most) cards. So theoretically you could make a deck that only had 14 cards by running 3 copies of 13 cards, plus 1 more to make an even 40.

Like this:

123
456
789
X12
345
678
9X1
234
567
89X
123
456
789
X


So, the question isn't "what are the 40 best cards in the game," it's "What are the 13 best cards you can run 3 of."

I'm gonna go experiment a little.

I tried that once... except I did 3 of every card (one extra) 2 of every card and then a forty individual copies of cards.

For the 3 of everything deck I found burn to be the most consistent (and competitive) because you simply run 3 Tremendous Fire, 3 Ookazi, etc. (Although I must admit I did cheat and have a couple cards you could only use one of at the time.)
