Hi all, I've changed my current deck completely and would like to hear your comments on it please.

A Cat of ill Omen
Needle Worm x 2
Desertapir
Ebon Magician Curran
Morphing Jar #2
Dream Clown
Raging Flame Spirit
Gora Turtle
Dark Cat with White Tail


Spells = 17

Level Limit - Area b x 2
Card Destruction

Malevolent Nuzzler
Messenger of Peace
Ookazi
Black Pendant

So what do you guys think?

Ive got cards that can destroy a monster here and there, cards to send opponents cards to graveyard and inflict damage for each one, Card/s to attack life points directly, cards to stop opponent attacking plus a possible Final Countdown victory.

Let me know if you can see any possible improvements please!

Cheers,

Ade.

mate just take out Yata and make it advanced, will be more competitive as an advanced deck without Yata, than a traditional deck with it.

[Noodle]

try a stealth bird or three, cannon soldier

scape goat, prem burial (as you can get your stealth birds back then flip em over)

secret barrel also fits.

if you want equip cards

Axe of despair instead of Nuzzler and or black pendant

loose the ookazi not worth extra card

im sure bood will know some more

yeah, this deck is more burn than lockout... so some burn cards would be a great addition.

Ojama trio too, for a bit of extra lock.... if ya want lockout. Its a common and a decent card

See - i = gOdly

[Noodle]

all hail Mr Black

[Bood]

lol, well, there are a few burn decks posted on here... these are the basis is would go for.

[Topman_2005]

Indeed.

[solemnwishes]

Okay then,

I've lost only once with this deck ( and won only once too lol).

Will happily drop Yata no probs, agree with axe of despair too!!

Not sure about dropping any trap cards as I feel these could do well ie: gravity bind down, opponent got 5 monsters just desserts hits them for 2500, if they are all effect monsters at least another 2500 for ceasefire. Mask of restrict could help set this up. Also skull invitation could help with needle worms card destruction etc. 2 needle worms is another 3000 damage this way.

This is how i'm hoping it works!!

Would anyone be willing to dule me on YVD tonight to try it out please?

(preferably one of you who posted!!)

Cheers,

Ade.
