[solemnwishes]

Hi guys, I said i'd post up my updated deck after you all gave me ideas so here it is:

Tribute Monsters:

Jinzo
Spell Canceller
Silent Swordsman LV5

Monsters:

D.D. Survivor
D.D. Warrior Lady
Silent Swordsman LV3
Exarion Universe
Magician of Faith
Indomitable Fighter Lei Lei
Mirage Dragon
Vorse Raider
Luster Dragon
Gemini Elf x 2
Insect Knight x 3

Spell/Magic:

Lightning Vortex
Premature Burial
Giant Trunade
Monster Reincarnation
Heavy Storm
Swords of Revealing Light
United We Stand
Tribute to the Doomed
Brain Control
Scapegoat
Monster Reborn
Dark Core
Smashing Ground
Non-Spellcasting Area
Feather of Pheonix x 3

Traps:

Solemn Judgment
Magic Cylinder
Royal Decree
Mirror Force
Negate Attack
Judgment of Anubis


So what do you think? I thought about using Chthonian Alliance to help boost my insect knights but chose to leave it out.

I know I have 3 Feathers in here but I like this card and it can be very helpful ( I could use Magic Cylinder 3 times etc).

All fairly Strong monsters too, easy to summon tributes with good effects, a bit of control plus some monster and trap/spell removal cards here and there.

I think this deck is ok, but your thoughts would be very welcome!!

Cheers,

Ade.

ok, you can ONLY go advanced with this deck... so lose monster reborn and mirror force, traditional is all about chaos. There are too many cards where you have to discard from your hand, if you play against any kind of hand control deck you will be seriously topdecking, maybe you should add another smashing ground or two defo over tribute to the doomed. and i know you like feather, but three is suicide..

oh and erm... WHERES DARK HOLE.

;D

Will take mirror force and monster reborn out, will also swap doomed with smashing.

Will replace monster reborn with dark hole and maybe mirror force with dust tornado (not sure with this one).

Thanks for the tips (tho still keepin my 3 feathers ;-))

wat you gotta remeber dude, is wats best for you, wen u post decks. are you one of the best in your meta and do the decks you post work where you duel, and then theres wether or not you wanna play in tournaments other than your local, because they are going to have different metagames. if u only play at your local and are pretty much happy with the way your decks run then go with your ideas. However, if you wish to play advanced format in bigger tournaments you need to be aware that using monsters with focused high atks and spells that waste your hand away will make you loose duels, this is why you see in pretty much any advanced deck no non-effect monsters or hand wasteful cards becuz every ounce of advantage is vital. so think this through b4 you post a deck, tell us where you are gonna play and your current situation because that way we'll kno how to make the right fixes.

Thanks for that, I just play locally at the club I run, probably lost 4 or 5 duels in about 60. (against the good players too!!).

I'm happy with my traps and Spell cards, so if I was to replace my non-effect monsters what cards spring to your mind to replace them with?
