MarbleZone Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Like the title says, this is not a finished deck, I'm posting here for suggestions as I only have the basic "skeleton", so to say. I think my only limitations regarding big cards are:- I have no Mirror Forces;- No Bottomless Trap Holes. Limitations regarding the Crystal Beasts:- No Rare Value (:/)- No Crystal Counters;- Only 1 Crystal Release. I also only have 1 Hamon and 1 Rainbow Dragon, but I'm not sure if those are really a problem as Rainy is pretty unplayable in my eyes and more than 1 Hamon sounds like too-much dead drawing. Again, I could be wrong. Anyway. Monsters: 173x Sapphire Pegasus3x Amber Mammoth2x Topaz Tiger2x Amethyst Cat2x Ruby Carbuncle2x Cyber Dragon1x Marshmallon1x Raiza1x Hamon Spells: 193x Rainbow Ruins3x Crystal Abundance3x Crystal Blessing3x Crystal Beacon2x Foolish Burial1x Smashing Ground1x Crystal Tree1x Crystal Release1x Monster Reborn1x Premature Burial Traps: 42x Sakuretsu1x Crystal Raigeki1x Torrential Tribute I have never tested this, as I'd like to hear your opinions first, but please bear in mind that I really can't afford the cards I'm missing, as they only come in boosters/ ebay. Thanks for reading. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Careless Whisper Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 hmmm...One question about this... Is Hamon allowed in Advanced Format? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalluW Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 hes not banned, and the sacred beasts were made to be tournament legal so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHADOWMAKER Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 If your planing to use Rainbow Dragon, you need all of the crystal beasts:Ruby CarbuncleAmber MammothTopaz TigerEmerald TortiseCobalt EagleSaphire PegasisAmethyst Cat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHADOWMAKER Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Rare Value might also be a good addition depending on your techniques.Also a Gravi Crush and Magna Slash Dragons could also be very important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarbleZone Posted April 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Wow, such valuable advice so far. :PAnd no, I'm not really interested in running the Rainbow Dragon I have unless somebody shows me that it's actually the best way to use a Crystal Beast deck. Until then, I'll keep it out. Magna Slash Dragon sucks, in my opinion, and while Gravi can actually do some damage, I prefer Raiza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orochi Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 try to get gem tree... and hamon is not neccesary, this deck wins only with pegasus, carbuncle, tiger and abundance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarbleZone Posted April 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 I already have Crystal Tree. I have 3 copies but only included one. How many should I run and what should I drop to add them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesusofChaos™ Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 abundance otk>this deck however you are getting close to making an abundance otk jus needs a few small changes, im not an expert on abundance otk so im not going to suggest anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orochi Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 run 2 trees... and you miss a very important card here... rescue cat... run 2 rescue cat and that will speed up your deck a lot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrabHelmet Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Don't run Amethyst Cat unless you also run Rescue Cat. If you run a couple of Rescue Cat, you can max Amethyst Cat. Max Topaz Tiger before maxing Amber Mammoth. Max Larvae Moth before adding a single Hamon. Raiza seems really random here, and isn't very good in this format. Plus, Tribute Summons don't fill your s/t zone. Crystal Raigeki sucks. Sakuretsu Armour sucks. The problem with Crystal Tree is that it's Continuous, so it's somewhat situational. I'm not seeing the point of the Foolish Burials. Also, get 3 Rare Value. Do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarbleZone Posted April 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 The Burials were to be used with Blessing, but I'll take them out.So, drop Hamon, Raigeki, the Burials, Raiza, a Mammoth and the Sakus.Add Rescue Cats, an Amethyst, a Topaz, then drop 1500$+ to add the Rare Values. Should I leave a Crystal Tree or none at all? Oh, and any chance you could post your definition (aka deck list) of a playable CB deck? Sorry if it's asking too much, and thanks for the tips. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonisanoob Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 ok yhea listen to crab helmet ONLY O_O but on a side note there is this guy at my locals who runs straight cb deck with 3 YES THREE rainbow dragons and the deck works SOMEHOW its insanly amazing sigh he summoned 2 rainbow dragons on my ass how it was possible i dunno but it was right larf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarbleZone Posted April 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 I listened to everybody else, I've been changing the deck every time someone makes a suggestion. Yeah, my ego is that big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrabHelmet Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Rainbow Dragon sucks; TC was correct in that. However, Hamon sucks as well. In fact, Hamon goes against the goal of a Gem Beast deck, and is a -3 to boot. Get Rare Value somehow. Running Gem Beasts without Rare Value is like running DDT without Allure of Darkness, Trade-In, and Destiny Draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarbleZone Posted April 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Exactly. It's precisely because it's so lacking in decent CB cards that I'll have to blow it all on Force of the Breaker boosters instead, which are twice as expensive. All my Sapphire Pegasus cards are from tins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonisanoob Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 why not trade them :) most people hate crystal beasts even more so than e heros (in my experiance) go to your locals and trade trade trade :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Judgment Dragon Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 If youre playing Crystal Beasts without Rainbow Dragon, Rare Value isnt neccessary although helps a lot. The easiest and cheapest to build is Crystal Abundance OTK. If youre aiming for a Rainbow Dragon deck you need a minimum of 2 Rare Values for it to be decent. Still try and aim to get Rare Value cards. You need 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoljaBoy Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 if ur planning to summon dark rainbow dragon you must have the dark chrystal beasts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
