Sir Yamiegg Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Why?? It all seems to conflict :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yemachu Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 While I get that you want to use "Exodius, the Ultimate Forbidden Lord" as an Xyz Material for your Rank 10 monsters, it seems like a poor choice. You are not running a single Normal Monster; causing its ATK to always be 0. Not really troublesome when instantly Xyz Summon using it, but that would require no interference from your opponent ("Vanity's Emptiness"). Futhermore, it is not really a helpful card when you are low on cards (barely a hand and field), as that would let you summon a Level 10 monster with 0 ATK and DEF. Its effect that lets you shuffle some cards back in the deck might sometimes be useful, but does not seem to be enough to warrant 3 Deck spaces. My advice is to remove all of them. "Volcanic Rocket" his(/her?) effect might clash with "Skill Drain". It can still serve as a decent beater for a Level 4 monster. Maybe remove 1 copy. Giving up 3 Level 10 Xyz Materials for a monster that has great synergy with the "Utopia" archtype, does seem weird when you are not running any "Utopia" monsters. You already run quite some other options which are easier to summon and some even serve roughly the same purpose ("Number 81: Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Superior Dora"). Taking "Number 99: Utopic Dragon" out of the Extra Deck seems reasonable. Now about cards which you can 'best' use to fill up the created gaps. "Malefic Cyber End Dragon" seems tempting, considering you already run "Skill Drain" and a great Field Spell Card. It can serve as an Xyz Material, or you can use it as a decent beatstick. Adding this card to your deck implicitly states that you should add at least 1 "Cyber End Dragon" to your Extra Deck. "Revolving Switchyard" is a great card for the deck, but you only run 3 cards that can be used for its first effect. You might want to add a (few) Level 4 EARTH Machine-Type monster(s) with 1800 or more ATK. For its second effect, which lets you search your Deck for a Level 10 EARTH Machine-Type monster, requires you to discard a card. Yet you don't seem to run any cards that can be used almost costlessly. Since you are running a "Volcanic" hybrid, adding a "Volcanic Shell" might not be too far fetched. For the small price of 500 LP you can replace 1 copy in your Graveyard with 1 from your Deck. This nicely evens out the cost of "Revolving Switchyard" and can also be used as fodder for "Blaze Accelerator Magazine". Another option is to include "Marshalling Field" and "Rank-Up-Magic Argent Chaos Force". It does not intervere with your "Volcanics", as you have no way to Special Summon them. It also allows you to summon a wider range of Ranks, at the cost of only being limited to Machine-Type monsters. If you summon a high-ranked Xyz Monster, you get to retrieve your "Rank-Up-Magic Argent Chaos Force". Which you can then either be used for "Revolving Switchyard", or to Rank-Up the monster you just summoned. This option requires some reworking of your Extra Deck. Suggestions for monsters to include in your Extra Deck are: "Phantom Fortress EnterBlathnir" and "Mecha Phantom Beast Dracossack". I threw in Parallel twister because wynaut There don't seem to be many Spell/Trap cards in the deck that benefit from being sent to the Graveyard, so that might be a reason to not run it... I would replcae it with "Mystical Space Typhoon". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acknologia Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Hi I am new here and I just made this account so I can answer this. I just love the deck and felt like I should reply. First of all in order to play this deck you should first play pure Trains and then pure Volcanics. After you get the idea behind each you will also undestand how to combine them. Nothing here "conflicts". Now in general Trains use Malefic Cyber End instead of Exodus(although still a viable option for them) and the reason is simple. Skill Drain. But here things are a bit different. Volcanics suddenly became relevant because of Magazine+Scattershot combo which they SPAM using Daigusto Emeral and Royal Firestorm Guards. For those that dont know of it yet, Volcanics clear the opponent's field by using the trap Magazine from their Graves whenever they feel like it. In their turns or in their OPPONENT'S turn. Pretty amazing. +1500 burn damage. So here you dont run Royal Guards nor should you. Exodus is your out in order to recycle in this deck. Nobody care if it will forever have 0 attack. It actually came pretty well all together. Rank 10+recycle. STILL, not in 3. 2 Exodus is just fine. So the idea of this deck is to get Magazine to the grave soon. You can do that by summoning Volcanic Rocket and discarding for Switchyard. You are now set. Its faster than the set of pure Volcanics. For the first effect of Switchyard you dont need more than 3 targets. The deck will search itself and game should be over by your 3th-4th turn if you understand what you are doing. For its second effect you have 6 targets(3 MAGAZINES). You are good. That means you need 3 Volcanic Rockets no less. Its your first turn play based on the Volcanic's deck idea. Do NOT add Volcanic Shells. They are tempting but when merging decks you have to sacrifice parts in order for consistency to exist. You dont have the space. The deck balance is very delicate. You dont really need 3 rank 10 monsters that require 3 monsters. Remove 2 of them for a second Daigusto and a Lavalval Chain(<---MUST HAVE. 2 would be nice..). Also i undestand why you could run Parallel Twister but its situational. MST seems infinitely better in a format full of Vanities. Bottomless is a must card nowdays and Soul Charge fits nice in here. Remember you can do BIG amounts of BURN in this deck (1500 each time you scattershot, 2000 from Gustav, 800 from gagaga). Other cards worth considering are Summoner Monk, Instant Fusion into Noden, Magic Planter. Have fun~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLG Klavier Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Only reason you run Exodius is to recycle used up Trains, and in this case, Volcanics. You run it because it's a level 10, but it's NOT your main engine for extra Xyz. Honestly, aside from Derricrane, Night Express, Ruffian and Switchyard, you won't NEED anything else to spam those Superdreadnoughts. Why the Volcanics though? Doesn't seem like there's much synergy going on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinny Posted January 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 So, um, although your feedback is lovely.... Clear what to adds and what to take out would help, although your feedback has been amazing! Only reason you run Exodius is to recycle used up Trains, and in this case, Volcanics. You run it because it's a level 10, but it's NOT your main engine for extra Xyz.

Doesn't seem like there's much synergy going on here. Field wipes with invincible rank 10's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLG Klavier Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Wouldn't you want Shell though? ESPECIALLY with the new Blaze Accel? Also what's this 2-of OCG card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinny Posted January 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Wouldn't you want Shell though? ESPECIALLY with the new Blaze Accel? Also what's this 2-of OCG card? Yeah the one posted isnt the updated version.... I use shell at 3, the point of volcanics is to deck thin... Updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acknologia Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 You have to realise that the point of this deck..is to get Magazine to the grave FAST, searching it with Rocket and discarding it with Switchyard. So there are some things you need. Switchyead and Rocket. HENCE 3 Duality AND 3 Terraforming. With this logic you will NOT set Magazine. If you do then yes you would need more targets for it like shell but imo it could get stuck there more often than it should and then you would have to draw a scatterfire in order for it to really go on. Anyway, its up to you. It can work but i am calling reduced consistency. Why Anti-Spell Fragrance? Doesnt it hurt you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually getting the accelerator in the grave is really tough, and its abilities whilst on the field help deck thin. Also you spelled it wrong, its anti-meta fragrance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
