What Yu-Gi-Oh deck do you run?

[Lord Torterra]

What Yu-Gi-Oh deck do you run? I run a budget exodia draw. I dunno why, but i like running it. Eliminates the worry of traps like mirror force and such.
What deck do you run?

Off topic: w00t 1000th post!

[Venonat Poison Powder]

The dacks I run primarily are as shown:
Zombie mill
D.D. beatdown(?)
Synchro

Synchro is for casual play and D.D. helps against some guys my zombies can't beat.
My old decks were TEH PWNSOR, though...but then I lost them last year...X(
Fiend Beatdown
Warrior Rush
The fiend deck was full of tribute monsters, so I used Mausoleum of the Emperor and Card Destruction+ Beige, Vanguard of Dark World to remedy this. I was the only boy in the world who could ACTUALLY USE WICKED DREADROOT, WITHOUT SUCKING. Plus I could also use Beige with Zera the Mant in a cool way, too.
The warrior one was less fun, but MUCH more powerful. I used three Marauding Captains, obviously, and most everybody else was a beatstick. It was also full of spells to destroy monsters right after the opponent's thinking he's got me, and I ACTUALLY WAS SMART ENOUGH TO NOT USE GEARFRIED THE SWORDMASTER. I USED NO SAC. MONSTERS, BUT I WON 90% OF THE TIME. COOL.

I usually use my Synchro deck, and I managed to get Nitro Warrior (an uber rare card) in a booster pack lucky...^^

But I also have a Dragon deck, which I try using but suck at because dragons are soo difficult, and my first deck ever: Ancient Gears. They're pretty cool, but I still use the Synchros more.

Hey, what does Mausoleum of the Emperor actually do? I haven't a clue how to use the stupid card. >.<

Well, first off my favorite deck type would be a proper Ancient Gear deck(like with Geartown and Ultimate Ancinet Gear Golem)...
I also got Nirto Warrior when I got my Stardust Dragon tin! Whee!!
And Mausoleum works like this: Say that you want to summon Raiza the Storm Monarch.
BUT WAIT!! You have no monsters to sacrifice in your hand AND field!!
But take a closer look...YOU HAVE MAUSOLEUM OF THE EMPEROR IN YOUR HAND!! Now you activeta it and pay 1000 life poisnts to TRIBUTE SUMMON Raiza and return one card on the field to the opponen't deck with his ability! Yay~
And next turn: YOU JUST DREW TYRANT DRAGON!! Then you sacrifice your Raiza and one thousand lp to TRIBUTE SUMMON him. OR you can pay 2000 to tribute summon him alongside Raiza!! YEAH!!
So, overall, we laerned this: Mausoleum can count as a sacrificial monster as many times as possible on your turn by aying 1000 lp. It's like the monster just lost 2 stars(or more, for lv. 9-12...)at a cost. It doesn't let you special summon the monster, however, but it CAN be used for multiple sacrifices.

Dark Armed? Yeah, the bully.
I also enjoy using FULL-PROXY decks!! Heh. I bring them with me to school sometimes and we all have a good laugh about it. That's how I found out how fun Dark World was...
But Dark Scorpion...I'll se how that deck goes.
You should all try out Armed Dragon theme deck, though. Based around all stages of AD(3 of lv 3, 5, 2 of 7, 10, use Masked Dragon to bring out Lv 3 from your opp. last attack for the turn), you either:
1. Lose with a crappy hand.
2. Win with a great hand and manage to bring out two Lv 7/10s. That's how I always use it.

Ahh..thank you, venonat. hmm...now, how to win if i have hardly any lp left...i need to trade more often with my friends. ^^

NOTE: If you use Mausoleum's ability on Monarchs, you WON'T GET THEIR EFFECT, since you didn't offer any tributes.

My serious deck:

- Anti-meta deck (Skill Drain / Royal Oppression / Burn); can easily side-deck to:
- "Tic Toc your'e Dead" (Clock Tower Prison / Final Countdown / Burn <with a hint of Skill Drain and Oppression>)

(Now if I can only get my hands on some Dark Bribes T_T)


My fun decks:
- Goddess deck (Vennominaga)

Soon to be completed:
- Plant (Aki Izayoi <Akiza> themed) (can be side-decked to a Gigaplant OTK with 3 Lonefires, 3 Gemini Summoners and 3 Blazewings)
- Black Feather Harpies (focuses on Winged Beasts; with the addition of the new Black Feather monsters to come in the next set Crimson Crisis; I got the Harpies, all I need are the Black Feathers and Dark Simorgh... will probably need 1 Caius :/)



Black Feather examples:


Black Feather - Sirocco of the Dawn
* * * * *
Dark / Winged Beast
2000 ATK / 900 DEF


Effect: If your opponent controls a monster and you control no monsters, you can Normal Summon this card without Tributing. Once per turn you can select 1 "Black Feather" monster you control. It gains ATK equal to the combined ATK of all other face-up "Black Feather" monsters you control until the End Phase. If you use this effect, your other "Black Feather" monsters cannot attack this turn.



Black Feather - Gale of the Hurricane
* * *
Dark / Winged-Beast / Tuner
1300 ATK / 400 DEF

Effect:If you control a "Black Feather" monster other than "Black Feather - Gale of the Hurricane", you can Special Summon this card from your hand. Once per turn, you can halve the ATK and DEF of 1 face-up monster your opponent controls.


There's one Black Feather that's Lvl 4 that deals piercing damage and probably does more <but its effect is still hazy from the show and no spoilers on it yet>

and of course, a Synchro:


Black Feather - Armored Wing
* * * * * * *
2500 ATK / 1500 DEF
1 "Black Feather" Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters

Effect: This card cannot be destroyed by battle. You take no Battle Damage from battles involving this card. If this card attacks, place 1 Wedge Counter on the opposing monster (max. 1). By removing all Wedge Counters from your opponent's side of the field, the ATK and DEF of all monsters that had a Wedge Counter became 0 until the End Phase.


and you guys do research on what Dark Simorgh does :P


btw yes I use Japanese cards; we follow OCG rules not TCG; TCG screws rarities all over :P Our Il Blud is common XD

@Chris: what's JD? don't forget the City decks <Little, Mid and Big City decks> Little City and Mid City are variations of E-Heros and Honest, and Big City abuses Skyscraper 2. I'm surprised Lightsworn decks aren't as competitive in the US as here. Heck even 6-samurai decks are competitive.

[Oxygen]

I used to run an Elemental Hero deck. It screwed up.

I also tried an XYZ deck. It also failed.

[Master Aqua]

My main deck is an exodia deck bent on either drawing exodia or using exodious the ultimate forbbiden one.

My new second deck is a friend beat down deck allowing easy summon of raviel and the wicked avitar.

Me and my friends have decided that the recent limited and forbiden lists are screwed up and use the list of september of last year insted for any tournaments we set up between each other.

actually E-Heroes are competetive enough to be used in serious tournaments; with the abuse of E-Hero Ocean and Skyscraper 2 :P

XYZ is kinda possible lol; with the addition of V and W to form VWXYZ one XD


@Arate: reason why several cards are banned because they're too powerful :/

That's what I do.

[The Doctor]

I have...

A Dino Deck, Elemental Hero Deck, Destiny Hero Deck, A Dark Deck, and a Light Deck.

Nuff said!

~Darkness

P.S. I would OWN all of YOU!

[Stardy]

I-like, use a crappy one for lulz.
My strongest monster must be Mokey Mokey or Ojama King lulz. o:

Mainly because I equip MM with Amulet of Ambition. Its the god of killing tribute monsters with weak decks. And Ojama King is just, well, Ojama King. I just play for a laugh, not for the win. I fail, I know. ):

That's what I do.

actually you don't need the fusions; just get skyscraper 2, Card of Safe Return, E-Hero Ocean, E-Hero Stratos, Neos, probably Wildmans too, and just have Miracle Fusion as your last ditch card :P with the letters (H, E, R, and O) as some spell power...

of course I don't think you play seriously now lol
