Controlling Ice Barrier Beatdown

[BlueBladeDuality]

[b][size=5]First off, before I go into the deck layout, I want to clear up a few things. Yes, I understand that AoJ's are not worth my time. Yes, I understand that other decks are faster. And yes, I dropped the AoJ's. So no hate comments.[/size][/b]

No. Just... no.

Drop the monster line-up, run Wetlands, then add the Ice Barriers that get power boosts from Wetlands (ex: Prior), Star Boys, Junk Synchrons, and Aegis of the Ocean Dragon Lords.

No. Just... no.
[/quote]Really? Because I dueled a duelist who has done well in regional tournaments, and he said this is the best Ice Barrier deck he's ever seen.

He runs Dark Worlds mixed with Fableds, btw.

...Fabled World is terrible.

I dunno much about Ice Barriers honestly. I know someone on here used them a lot in the past, I think it was Agro. Whoever it was had generally good builds, so maybe try searching for them.

Made up a quick Ice Barrier deck for you. Might be better than what you currently have:

18
3 Samurai of the Ice Barrier
3 Strategist of the Ice Barrier
3 Cyromancer of the Ice Barrier
3 Prior of the Ice Barrier
3 Effect Veiler
3 Junk Synchron

15
3 Medallion of the Ice Barrier
3 Mystical Space Typhoon
3 Wetlands
2 Terraforming
1 Monster Reborn
1 Dark Hole
1 Heavy Storm
1 Pot of Avarice

7
2 Torrential Tribute
2 Bottomless Trap Hole
2 Solemn Warning
1 Solemn Judgment

15
2 Gungur, Dragon of the Ice Barrier
2 Dewloren, Tiger King of the Ice Barrier
1 Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier
1 Flamvell Urquizas
1 Black Rose Dragon
1 Scrap Archfiend
1 Scrap Dragon
2 Stardust Dragon
1 Mist Wurm
1 Number 39: Utopia
1 Shining Elf
1 Gachi Gachi Gantetsu

It's Wetlands Ice Barrier, as God Machismo suggested. Of course, I'm no expert on Ice Barriers, either. But go ahead and try it if you so desire.

Everyone, I have only one thing to say to you.
