Last trial for Gladiator Beasts

[EHERO Andrew]

Ok. I used GB's for the July 13th HL tourney and... I did horrible. I dropped out on the 3rd round (lost 3x in a row). So I'm gonna make my final trial to make an incredible GB deck that can even withstand Royal Oppression or Skill Drain. If it's good enough, I might use it for Regional on July 19th.

 

Fusions:

GB Heraklinos

GB Gyzarus x3

 

Monsters:

3 GB Hoplomus

2 GB Bestiari

2 GB Laquari

2 GB Darius

1 GB Murmillo

3 EH Prisma

1 Sangan

3 Test Tiger

 

Spells:

2 GPG

1 MST

3 Shrink

1 Heavy Storm

1 Monster Reborn

1 Premature Burial

2 Cold Wave

1 Lightning Vortex

 

Traps:

1 Mirror Force

3 Dark Bribe

3 Waboku

3 Solemn Judgment

Take out Deck Devastation Virus, Gyzarus has a more important job then being DDV fodder.

 

Put in a Dust Tornado over it to stop Opression/Skill Drain.

[EHERO Andrew]

But wouldn't it be better to use DDV on Gyzarus, stop all my opponents from summoning another monster, use Monster Reborn or PB and activate Gyzarus' effect again and take out more of this Life Points for 3 turn?

[Benraino]

There is no other target than Gyzarus for DDV. DDV doesn't kill Opression and Skill Drain which you said you are weak against.

[EHERO Andrew]

I have dueled enough people with those cards to realize that I can't fight against RO or SD. So all I can do is just fight my way through my opponent's Life Points. Which is why I added Waboku and Shrink.

[Benraino]

You are missing my point. By adding in Dust Tornado, you are able to make plays that can turn the control of the duel. For example, if you take out a Royal Opression or a Skill Drain, you can combo a Prisma + Test Tiger into a Gyzarus, which in turn can turn into a Laquari+ Darius, which can turn into a Herkalinos. This allows you to play permission control with the opponent and give you the duel.

 

DDV gives you a dead draw until you get Gyzarus, which can't come out until you remove Royal Opression or Skill Drain. If someone plays a Royal Opression or a Skill Drain, you only have 2 answers, MST and Heavy Storm. If you can't draw into them fast enough, you lose.

 

Also Side Stratos for another Dust Tornado, because Stratos is only good in the Mirror Match. Dust Tornado, in addition of clearing away Royal Opression and Skill Drain, can allow an early game set up into Gyzarus and then into Herkalinos.

 

So:

-1 DDV

-1 Stratos(to side deck)

 

+2 Dust Tornado.

[EHERO Andrew]

You do have some good points. I'll just take out those cards. I'll put away Stratos until the new Heroes come out in PP02 and make my Hero City Burn deck.

gpg?

 

anyhoo needs cold wave and a lightning vortex

[EHERO Andrew]

GPG is Gladiator Proving Ground. Not enough deck space for Lightning and Cold Wave.
