Help In Deck Construction

[Cerberus]

I'm rather new to all this, but could someone help me in reconstruction in my Deck. Current Cards Include Slifer, Obelisk, the Winged Dragon and the five pieces of Exodia, Ominous Fortunetelling (Favorite), Bad Reaction to Simochi, Cursed Seal of the Forbidden Spell and Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

ok the three god cards are forbidden in all formats and if ya wanna use adavnced format, which virtually all competitive tournaments are based around, then BLS-EOTB is too, to check on banned and restricted cards there is a thread based on this.

now deck creation, you want to get to as close to 40 cards in your deck, max of perhaps 45, with around 19 monsters, 15 spells and 6 traps (traps the least because of the amount of Jinzos and now royal decrees floating around). All competitive decks have a theme, whether it be aggro, exodia, water, zombies etc etc etc there are lots of them, but if you base your deck around a theme, you will find the cards will complement each other, if you look in the deck shop, there is lots of examples there. When you have a basis of a deck, tweek it to the max to get the best out of your cards.

Most of all decks and deck creating should be fun. I think I am ok at it and getting better. But I enjoy it, coming up with new ideas, etc.

If you want any advice, post the basis of a deck on here and we will review and fix.

[paladin]

you should cut your deck to about 40 and limit your traps to about 8 , also use nobleman of crossout

[Cerberus]

Any suggestions on what to take out?

[KOCW]

a deck theme would help on the basis u got only exoida head in there which doesn't do much on its own.


so an ide of what u want and an idea of budget we can work something then

[Cerberus]

Don't worry, I've already bought the 4 other pieces of Exodia of eBay and they are currently on the way. I'll tell you guys as soon as they all come in.

[Bood]

you said you have the warriors deck on the way, use that, dont add any of your current cards except maybe dust tornado and magic cylinder. from the structure decks you will be able to get torrential tribute, lightning vortex, call of the haunted etc.

Also every deck needs a dark hole! you can get them really cheap on ebay.

[Cerberus]

I'll get it for free from a friend of mine. He uses it as a bookmark. ;D

[Cerberus]

A quick question: Would it be a good strategy to have Exodia Necross and Contract with Exodia in my Deck (Along with the 5 pieces of Exodia, of course)?

[Bood]

in a word, no.. necross never really works, i tried it, its way too hard, kycoo, book of life and the d.d.'s own it, exodia is best run just exodia, with lots of deck thinning and drawing cards, like upstart goblin, pot of avarice nimble momongas etc.

mate just been nosey and saw your from Luxembourg, coooool!!!!

[Cerberus]

Thanks for the advice. I just saw it on eBay and thought it would be a good addition.

[Cerberus]

I have a question about the 3 god cards: I want to sell them or trade them but I can't get a decent price or trade where I live and where I go to school. I am currently selling them for 25 Euros each (about $42.50 each). I got ther for about 80 Euros (over $140).

[The Almighty Smiter]

The onle way you can make necross work is if you are running kycoo's ya self, along with necrovalleys, that anubis fiend thing (cant remember what its called), there is also a magic card that allows you to remove a card from your side of the field instead of the monster that is supposed to be removed, having said that, even if you did use all of these he can still be exiled!!!

[Bood]

mate, thats a whole separate thread, but i will answer, that amount you are being offered is about right as per ebay prices.
