LinkElfice510 Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 I'm going on a bus tour next week for about 2 weeks and my friends and I have all decided to bring our YGO cards to duel on the bus...many hours will be spent on it. So I'd like to get some input on how to cut down my deck from I think 88 down to closer to 40. Now I know that in the rules, it says don't post this many cards, but based on what cards I have, I really don't think it'd be hard for a good eye to see what cards need to go. Also, just a heads up: Yes, I know that I have banned cards (that's why it's in this forum!). I don't care. None of us do. And don't say to go out and look for a card. Once again, I don't care. None of us have kept up with this ever since GX started. So sure, Flamed Wingman would be nice. But I'm not gonna go buy it just for this trip. I'm just looking to dump the cards that I don't need. And now, the deck! Cards with 2 stars next to them I am NOT throwing out. Cards with 1 star I'll only get rid of if you can present a convincing enough argument to ditch them.

Any suggestions that you all would have for me would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have Sanga nor Barrel Dragon. Ryu-Ran is my second-best defender who also benefits from Dragon Treasure and Mountain so that's staying. But I do get the ditch vanillas factor. Maybe not MasterKyonshee just because of the 1750 ATK points. Roboyarou and Swordsman ofLandstar though...but I do still need my sacrifices. Anyway thanks for the input.

jabber2033 Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 I'm not gonna go look for new cards. Then you're not gonna be good at the game. If you don't buy new cards' date=' we really can't help you. When people post fixes, they assume you can easily buy/trade for more cards. If you can't or won't get newer cards, we can't help. Cut your deck to about 18-22 monsters, 12-15 Spells, and 6-10 traps. The last two depend on your monster ratio. I usually do 19 monsters, 15 spells, and 6 traps. You also need to be running more copies of your best cards. For example, why run only 1 copy of La Jinn when you're allowed to run 3? Having more copies of a card plus a low deck size lets you draw the right cards when you need them. Thousand Dragon and Flame Swordsman belong in the Extra Deck, BTW. Here's an improved deck with the cards I know you have. 191x Red-Eyes B. Dragon1x Dark Magician1x Mr. Volcano1x La Jinn1x Harpie’s Brother1x Darkfire Soldier #11x Magician of Faith1x Witch of the Black Forest1x Cyber Jar1x Big Eye1x Sangan1x Giant Soldier of Stone1x Elemental Hero Clayman1x Humanoid Slime1x Spirit of the Harp1x Island Turtle1x Mask of Darkness1x Elemental Hero Sparkman 151x Change of Heart1x Dark Hole1x Monster Reborn1x Soul Exchange1x Malevolent Nuzzler1x Scapegoat1x The Reliable Guardian1x Fissure[b']1x Pot of Greed[/b]1x Graceful Charity1x Premature Burial1x Heavy Storm (Or Harpie’s Feather Duster)1x Dian Keto the Cure Master1x Red Medicine1x Mystical Space Typhoon 61x Mirror Force1x Waboku1x Raigeki Break1x Just Desserts1x Reinforcements1x Seven Tools of the Bandit The cards in bold are VERY common and highly recommended for any Trad. deck. Either you or your friends should have these. Just ask them to borrow a copy for the trip. That's about as good as I can do considering the cards I know you have. And don't give me any crap about taking out cards you wanted to keep. That's about as good as you're gonna get. I don't know exactly what cards you have, so I can't help without seeing your collection and you won't buy more. But you really need a THEME. This deck is pretty random. Pick something you want to focus on. Also try running more copies of stuff like La Jinn and Harpie's Brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pick something you want to focus on. Also try running more copies of stuff like La Jinn and Harpie's Brother. I appreciate the help. And yeah, I know that if I just keep the cards I have (these are all my cards by the way. Every single one =P) I won't do as well as I would if I bought new ones, but even if they aren't remotely expensive, it just seems kind of pointless to buy them just for this. I haven't dueled in like 2 years anyway. The closest I had to a theme was one of the Joey decks, and then I kinda just threw the remainder of my cards in. Not a smart idea, but when I did that, I thought a bigger deck was better. Now I know it's not. Lastly, as for the bold, the only one I know for a fact I can obtain is Harpie's Feather Duster. If I can find my brother's deck, I can get that. He might have MST and possibly Pot of Greed also. I guess my only real grief with your suggestion is no Moisture Creature...it's my best monster, and it's effect is pretty helpful to me. Especially since my brother has a Pegasus deck and that's pretty much the only card I have that can destroy Toon World. Regardless, thanks for the input!

jabber2033 Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 If you want to get back into the game after your bus trip, I highly recommend buying 3 copies of the Machina Mayhem Structure deck. You can easily build a 40-card tournament-winning deck with that + a few staples like Heavy Storm and Mirror Force and so on. Just look at the various Machina decks here on YCM. EDIT: I made this deck up using only cards found in the MM deck. No other cards. It's not really tournament-worthy, but it's playable. 203x Machina Fortress3x The Big Saturn (discard this to summon Fortress. Don't actually summon it)2x Cyber Dragon3x Cyber Valley3x Machina Soldier2x Machina Sniper2x Machina Defender2x Scrap Recycler 123x Shrink3x Solidarity2x Machina Armored Unit1x Swords of Revealing Light3x Hand Destruction 82x Metalmorph1x Ceasefire3x Dimensional Prison3x Compulsory Evacuation Device As far as staples you need to add: Limiter RemovalMirror ForceTorrential TributeBrain ControlMystical Space TyhoonHeavy StormCall of the Haunted You could also throw in Future Fusion and Overload Fusion, as well as some Chimeratech Overdragon and Chimeratech Fortress Dragon in your Extra Deck. Basically use Future Fusion and send all your machines from your deck to the grave, then use Overload Fusion that same turn and summon Chimeratech Overdragon, removing all machines in your grave for Overdragon's Fusion Material Monsters. Overdragon should have 8000+ ATK with that combo. If you want to buy newer cards, get an idea of your deck and buy the singles you need from trollandtoad.com. That's one of the cheapest sites that isn't ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
