Blake Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Sardonyx, Sapphire, and Tourmaline are garbage. Burial from the DD is overkill. This is an OTK deck, traps are just dead draws. Emeral doesn't need to be at more than 1 run better R4 instead. Why would you run Summoner Monk...? Obsidian and Gem-Armadillo are good cards. Gem-Knight Zirconia is a good card, of which you should run 2-3, Master Diamond is a good 1-of. Don't need the third Citrine, the second the second Brilliant Diamond, the second Seraphinite, or the second Prismaura, and Ruby is superfluous. R7/8 techs can help. Emeral isn't amazing here, especially not at 2. Run R4 options instead. Norden doesn't really synergize. It's a monster reborn that wastes a board slot. Fusing can get your 4s on board, anyway, with obsidian. D.D.R. - Different Dimension Reincarnation can be good here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IQuitDolphin Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 I just noticed no Lazuli in Extra Deck. Isn't that the best Gem-Knight Fusion for OTKs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 I just noticed no Lazuli in Extra Deck. Isn't that the best Gem-Knight Fusion for OTKs?I knew I forgot a fusion. Lapis Lazuli is a funk ton of damage output, and lets you DO things T1. There's no reason not to run it and Lapis, because access to LaLa is good enough.

Fusing can get your 4s on board, anyway, with obsidian. D.D.R. - Different Dimension Reincarnation can be good here. Obsidian is kinda trash in it's own right since it doesn't synergize with brilliant nor absorb, and is therefore more dead than alive when I don't have absorb/ gk fusion. Zirconia is a vanilla fusion, albeit a big one, but is otherwise useless. Monk was there to make use of the gk fusion's recycling ability, which coupled with Amber makes a fairly decent loop. Believe it or not, Lady D is my main brilliant target, since I can get out any fusion I want with it, and I usually have a spell in hand to get her stats back. And If I don't, gk fusion is, once again, really recyclable. Emeral can revive any gk not named lazuli, and it can loop itself if there's 2+ in extra. Norden is p much the only reliable way I can get to the Xyzs I have, at least rn. However, DDR and Armadillo sound good. I just noticed no Lazuli in Extra Deck. Isn't that the best Gem-Knight Fusion for OTKs?I knew I forgot a fusion. Lapis Lazuli is a f*** ton of damage output, and lets you DO things T1. There's no reason not to run it and Lapis, because access to LaLa is good enough. In a format where juggle-clown is in pretty much everything, I'd rather not risk it.

No? It's one of the few cards that keeps your fusion from being a -1. Oh no, it doesn't synergize with a 3-of Future Fusion... and synergizes with your main Fusion. Furthermore, Amber is only good WITH Obsidian or Seraphinite, because it needs an NS to be live. You should basically never be using the Absorb Fusion fusion effect, anyway, so that point is bad. Zirconia is a vanilla fusion, albeit a big one, but is otherwise useless.It's the only one you can consistently drop, and it's a beater in a deck that has a problem getting over a certain power threshold. Monk was there to make use of the gk fusion's recycling ability, which coupled with Amber makes a fairly decent loop.see first part Believe it or not, Lady D is my main brilliant target, since I can get out any fusion I want with it, and I usually have a spell in hand to get her stats back. And If I don't, gk fusion is, once again, really recyclable.Really? The main Brilliant Target... is the card made to synergize with it? Who knew! Why would you discard a spell for it. OR waste a use of G-K Fusion. The point of BriFu is to sheet out B Diamond/Seraphi/Lapis to push yourself forward. Emeral can revive any gk not named lazuli, and it can loop itself if there's 2+ in extra.So... you run WAY too many vanillas, and use it to justify a poor choice like this? That's bad deckbuilding to support bad deckbuilding. Emeral reviving "Any G-K" isn't relevant when you have to give up G-Ks to make it. Seriously. This deck is not grindy enough for looping it to matter. Norden is p much the only reliable way I can get to the Xyzs I have, at least rn.Obsidian. Seraphinite. Gem Armadillo with the latter is a R4. However, DDR and Armadillo sound good.... Why would you run D.D.R. without Obsidian? He's the reason D.D.R. is good here, because it gives you more opportunities to loop/trigger him to sheet onto the board. In a format where juggle-clown is in pretty much everything, I'd rather not risk it.ITT: Unsearchable answers exist, so I'm not going to run the best fusion the deck has, because it might get answered. This deck has worries like Maxx "C", Veiler, etc. to keep you from amassing enough advantage. Not running a recovery/power option because of 3/40 cards bein able to answer it is dumb.

ÆƵ– Posted January 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Rescue RabbitTried it, never got it. an unsearchable, unrecoverable 1-of didn't do well. ... No? It's one of the few cards that keeps your fusion from being a -1. Oh no, it doesn't synergize with a 3-of Future Fusion... and synergizes with your main Fusion.

Thank you for putting it nicely /sarcasm. I realize that amber is only good when it can be gotten off immediately. Why else would I put it in? I've gotten gkf less than any other card in my opening hands, and when I manage to do I don't have the materials to use it well. Synergy with absorb/ brilliant is essential. Like you said, this is an otk deck. I don't need to consistently drop anything, and therefore the vanilla fusion is kinda bad. An OTK deck that doesn't try and go for the OTK? How funny would that be? Discarding a spell to go for game is not a high price, especially with the amount of spells I have. However, I was wrong about obsidian. I thought it was a restricted lazuli deal, sent by card eff only. It does seem to be useful, especially since I'm running twister. Any gk not named lazuli and obsidian is either a normal or gemini here, which means it's reviveable and useable by Emeral. That, and I can recycle fusions. Whoa! The "best fusion" also requires the worst material. I'm putting it in @1, but lapis is a no-go. Lady d will do just fine. How is LaLa a recovery card again? It's a foolish for all things gk that burns. Not recovery in anyway I can see. Despite my implied tone, I do appreciate the CnC. Deck and OP updated.

Blake Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Thank you for putting it nicely /sarcasm.I responded to your inflection. Remove the plank from your eye before you observe the sawdust in mine. I realize that amber is only good when it can be gotten off immediately. Why else would I put it in?You cited summoner monk... yet are claiming you understand. These two don't go hand in hand, at all. So either you didn't understand, or you don't understand Monk's interaction. I've gotten gkf less than any other card in my opening hands, and when I manage to do I don't have the materials to use it well. Synergy with absorb/ brilliant is essential.Maybe, juuust maybe, that's because you're running too many shitty vanillas. Also, Absorb Fusion point is just plain stupid. Why? It searches G-K Fusion. You should not be using the banish fusion of Absorb, and citing a 3-of unsearchable spell is bad. Like you said, this is an otk deck. I don't need to consistently drop anything, and therefore the vanilla fusion is kinda bad.... No, it's an OTK deck with issues in getting over big things without overdevoting advantage, so you need Zirconia to push for game. How is a 2900 adding to an OTK remotely poor? Being a vanilla doesn't matter, hell it can even be revived by Emeral, so what's the problem? An OTK deck that doesn't try and go for the OTK? How funny would that be? Discarding a spell to go for game is not a high price, especially with the amount of spells I have.The point of BriFu -> Lady is to sack lady and turn into something. Having high spells doesn't mean much, when each of them are meant to be utility, yet you intend to use them as fodder. However, I was wrong about obsidian. I thought it was a restricted lazuli deal, sent by card eff only. It does seem to be useful, especially since I'm running twister.You need 3. Any gk not named lazuli and obsidian is either a normal or gemini here, which means it's reviveable and useable by Emeral. That, and I can recycle fusions. Whoa!Your sarcasm is really unfounded, and speaks to how little you've thought this through. What are you overlaying into Emeral? 1 or more Gem-Knights, because 2 Armadillo isn't going to happen realistically. At which point, you're trading in a gem-knight... to revive a Gem-Knight. Outside of transferring over to Lapis, or if Emeral survives a turn and revives amber, this just isn't good. It's a transfer of advantage that, in no way, puts you ahead. Citrine and Prismaura are not enough to warrant running multiples. And you shouldn't really be recycling the Fusions, because they're needed as fodder for G-K Fusion, more often than not. The "best fusion" also requires the worst material. I'm putting it in @1, but lapis is a no-go. Lady d will do just fine. "Worst material" you're running sapphire and tourmaline. For sheer sake of name, Lapis is better than them. She beats harder than Sapphire (you're not even running the Blue Fusions, so genuinely 0 reason to run this), and Tourmaline does nothing. Not to mention you're running an asynergetic cards like Monk, yet insist Lapis is bad. How is LaLa a recovery card again? It's a foolish for all things gk that burns. Not recovery in anyway I can see.Because you're not thinking critically. It sends Lapis. Lapis gets cards back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
