The Apprentice engine is something I've been trying as a sort of counter to my friends, who have taken to a Macromonarch build I showed them before and now usually run that, so most of my decks are built around Apprentice instead of Tomato/Rat/other grave-based engines. Sangan's the first thing to hit the side when I play against that deck (they do switch decks a lot). Other than that it's a slow-ish Monarch deck, designed not to take explosive one turns but instead to prevent the opponent doing it, and instead slowly and surely securing card advantage and big plays with Brain Control/Raiza or slow work with Thestalos. Spell Shield Type-8's something I've tested (previously) to great effect, so I'm maining one and wondering if I should use more/none. Once again, I have never used this deck and I need to check it out before I make any big changes. Oh, the side deck: SIDE DECK3 x Royal Decree3 x Solemn Judgment3 x Banisher of the Radiance3 x Twister3 x Pulling the Rug Rates/Fixes, and please bear in mind I am trying to stick to a budget on this deck.

Sartorius Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Necro, stop bloody spamming. The deck's okay, I don't like the rogue SST8. I'd remove a seer for a 2nd. The side deck needs work too. 6/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeyboy654 Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Not bad, whats with the wave motions in the side? :s If only i had 3 raizas ¬_¬ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaoserver Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 take out the wave motions for pulling the rugs. Stops demise and monarchs. Wave motions just random. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryFreelance Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Nail the Spell Shield for a Magic Drain if you really want spell removal. I love WMC's, but for this deck, do what the Eloquent One suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkguy00000 Posted August 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Oh, right! I always put Pulling the Rug in my side deck, it was busy in my other deck so I forgot about it. Wave Motion Cannon's another tech card against the current game, but I don't know why I forgot PtR... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkguy00000 Posted August 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 SST8 I've tried as well as Drain, but Spell-Shield I prefer as a) it is guarenteed negation (nobody I know runs any kind of Counter Traps) and I really just like that, as I don't like when Limiter Removal hits the table, I flip Drain and it doesn't matter as they discard a dead spell card. Anyway everyone around here's just keyed into how great Brain Control is over Fissures/Hammer Shots/Smashing Ground, so that's another reason. Also, again, this deck is built towards a particular metagame: I know on YVD it would probably not work but around here it just does fine because it's built to combat the decks we have here, which is really the definition of metagaming...

georgeyboy654 Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 rug doesnt stop demise, demise isnt manditory, its a priority effect, but rug stops gadgets and monarchs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibdo Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Considering it's on a budget, it's good. I don't see Snatch Steal though. Are you mad? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
