The Hounds Of Anubis Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAwDOOZrRmABecause I can't sleep so figured I'd at least post this because if January 2014 is actually the grindy format I want it to be this deck gets so much better. Also unsure if the Viruses are as good as I think they'll be. They're always better at the start of a format anyway and at the least protect Grapha from BTH and D-Prison.The deck is also a legitimate Rank 8 pseudo-control deck now, with turbo elements. Graphas are no longer good enough to just sit on every game, apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goddamnit names are a pain Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Ok, TGU is going to 3. Why not run 3? One Day of Peace is a nice touch, but other than that, this looks like every other DW deck out there, exactly. With a few exceptions I missed at first. Fortune Tune, yay Mind Crush- Surprisingly unused. I like it. Viruses- Great, but swap out one of the extras for CCV, its the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hounds Of Anubis Posted December 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Because TGU isn't as good in DWs at every point in the game, by comparison to other decks. Very rarely do you want to run one out early and it really gets in the way of Dragged Down because of that. It's also more copies of a card that makes Veiler live, but that's not particularly important.That's because the core for DWs is a lot of cards. .-.Mind Crush with 3 Viruses and 3 Dragged Down is really, really good in general. Although sometimes you can also just manoeuvre the game into a situation where only one card kills you and you can call it off of Mind Crush to guarantee a win, since it's very difficult to actually kill someone in one turn without Reborn or Card Destruction from the days of old.CCV? CCV is banned, and I'm playing 2 DDV and 1 EEV, so I don't get what you mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all relative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deck Devs and Mind Crushes became good. It's all relative. Hmm, they were always good to me. But fair enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hounds Of Anubis Posted December 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Deck Dev is a card where its strength varies with the format. At the start of a format, it's always significantly stronger. Because of that, one can also include more Mind Crushes. Otherwise that's 4 cards that would need to be different at other points in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mugendramon Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Yeah, I was about to ask what was all this with 2 DDVs but then I remembered Lonfire went to 2. It's just I don't think there's enough decks out there that get hurt so much as to justify maining it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Althemia Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Yeah, I was about to ask what was all this with 2 DDVs but then I remembered Lonfire went to 2. It's just I don't think there's enough decks out there that get hurt so much as to justify maining it.Fire Fists get their Spirit plays completely wrecked by DDV and have to resort to playing a control base with 4-Axis against a control deck which will more than often not allow them to last until they dig a Rekindling.Mermail get their little guys hit. That's the really important part, as it means that the big guys are going to have to go off of finite resources and little to no advantage gain.Prophecy get hit by this because most of the monsters in their deck are under 1500, with the exception of Priestess and Za Waruldo.He's prepping to play against the format, and honestly he's done it pretty okay. DDV's will come out game 2/3 against some of those decks obviously because they'll be playing to beat it, but that's when he just sideboards into more specific hate than just generally good hate.

The Hounds Of Anubis Posted December 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Yeah it's also not like it actually has to hit many cards to be good either. If you Deck Dev trades 1-for-1 then it's not like you lose any card advantage since you can get Grapha back and even have perfect information of their hand, which people seriously underrate.

The Hounds Of Anubis Posted December 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 The draw helps you so much more than your opponent. It's also not completely uncommon for Dark Worlds to stumble and need to stall until the deck hits the right cards it needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerion Brightflame Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Seems to me like a second Felgrand would be lovely here. If the format does become grindy, it's so damn good at attrition that I never like not having the second available. Maybe drop the Brilliant for it? Since I don't see Ant as being well... useful.

The Hounds Of Anubis Posted December 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Ant has some niche scenarios where it's useful.I'll drop the Emeral for it, though, since making Emeral is less likely to ever come up than making 2 Felgrands.

The Hounds Of Anubis Posted December 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Deck takes way too much residual damage in some games to really be able to play it. I've never liked playing it in DWs, especially given the Skill Drains in the side. It's also very rare you care that much about something your opponent plays to Solemn it.
