I'm thinking of trying this deck when the next duelist pack comes out. I'm not a great deck builder, so...help?

Tuning Supporter x3
Nitro Synchron x3
Plaguespreader Zombie x3
Cyber Dragon
Sangan
Cyber Valley x3
Quillbolt Hedgehog
Paladin of the Cursed Dragon x2
Snipe Hunter

Magnet Circle Level 2 x2
Machine Duplication x3
Pot of Avarice x3
Mystical Space Typhoon
Monster Reborn
Heavy Storm
Brain Control
Lightning Vortex
Swords of Revealing Light

Solemn Judgement x3
Torrential
Phoenix Wing Wind Blast x2
Hero’s Rule 2 x2
Limit Reverse

So, basically, I use Dupe with Valley or Tuning Supporter (tuning with Nitro Synchron) to gain hand advantage. Paladin's a bit of an iffy, I mainly need something big.
 
my regs will have plenty of random decks.. so I cant make the deck too specific for a meta. That's what I'll keep my side deck for. Last time I did play against a handful of Tele-Dads and 2 LS but I cant count on that but I'll still add some counters.. such as D.D. Crow, Retiari, Burden of the Mighty and Prideful Roar.

19 Monsters
1x Gladiator Beast Andal
3x Gladiator Beast Laquari
2x Gladiator Beast Darius
1x Gladiator Beast Equeste
2x Gladiator Beast Bestiari
1x Gladiator Beast Retiari
1x Gladiator Beast Secutor
2x Elemental Hero Prisma
3x Test Tiger
3x D.D. Crow

12 Spells
3x Burden of the Mighty
3x Gladiator Proving Ground
2x Cold Wave
2x Book of Moon
1x Monster Reborn
1x Heavy Storm

9 Traps
3x Solemn Judgment
3x Gladiator Beast War Chariot
2x Prideful Roar
1x Mirror Force
 
I've never played a Gladiator Beast deck and they've died out at my Locals so I can't really edit... However, I don't like D.D. Crow. Either you draw him in your opening hand or he's a dead draw. Other than that it's very good.
Prideful Roar is great tech. Does it beat Honest? (oh. no it doesn't. You'd miss the window of activation)

-3 D.D. Crow
+2 E-Con
+1 Smashing

This is my current deck

Monsters-17
3x Thunderking Rai-OH
3x Banisher of the Radiance
2x Green Gadget
2x Red Gadget
2x Yellow Gadget
2x Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo
1x Grand Mole
1x DD WarriorLady
1x Breaker

Magic-9
2x Book of Moon
2x Shrink
1x Soul Taker
1x Fissure
1x Smashing
1x Mystical Space Typhoon

Trap-18
3x Royal Oppression
3x Bottomless Trap Hole
3x Mirror Wall
3x Solemn Judgment
3x Dark Bribe
2x Widespread Ruin
1x Mirror Force

Total-43

Side Deck:
3x King Tiger Wanghu
3x Kycoo
3x Light-Imprisoning Mirror
3x Twister
3x CED

Against Dark Armed:
-6 Gadgets
+3 King Tiger
+3 Kycoo
 
top 8ed with Glads

Eh its Las Vegas but it did really well. Lost only to some dude named Matthew that got 2nd at YGO Worlds for the DS.. pretty cool guy. Lost in top 8 too but because more of my fault than the deck itself. Pretty much the OCG Build.. the one with Dimensional Fissures.

14 Monsters
3x Thunder King Rai-Oh
3x Gladiator Beast Bestiari
2x Gladiator Beast Laquari
2x Gladiator Beast Equeste
1x Gladiator Beast Andal
1x Gladiator Beast Mumillo
1x Gladiator Beast Retiari
1x Cyber Dragon*

11 Spells
3x Dimensional Fissure
3x Gladiator Proving Ground
2x Soul Taker
2x Book of Moon
1x Smashing Ground

16 Traps
3x Solemn Judgment
3x Gladiator Beast War Chariot
3x Bottomless Trap Hole
2x Compulsory Evacuation Device
2x Prideful Roar
1x Torrential Tribute
1x Mirror Force
1x Dimensional Prison

over all I would add Icarus Attack in here and side another and maybe take out a Soul Taker for a E-Con. They both really well in testing afterwards.
 
I remember this! Of course the last time I was into Yu-Gi-Oh I think was a little after they released the God Cards, so I have no comprehension of what the metagame looks like. I looked around for some help online just to know what people did but no luck.

I remember one kid who ran a deck with only 4 star and lower monsters, he used equip cards, cure mermaids, mother grizzlies, and a horrid cannon soldier / last will OTK. I mean, seriously, 23000 LP is a little much.

I was reading Shonen Jump and I was hooked back in!

Is there a way to play online? I want to play but I don't have the money so I was hoping to just play on the internet.

Also, if anyone has advice on making a fairy deck using Sanctuary in the Sky, that'd be nice.

Yeah as Chawla said Xerocreative's YVD (9.0) is pretty much your best bet right now.

They also have their own IRC server (yiffy.xerocreative.com:8080) where you can request duels, discuss card tactics, or even participate in random tournaments they host at different times of the day.
 
Thanks, Warthog! :) I am pretty much lost at this stuff now, lol.

Nah, I don't think I'll get that serious. Probably just online I suppose.
 
I never paid attention to any ban lists. Me and friends just played casually and stuff. I stopped when everyone elso stopped. :/ I'm downloading the online one, so maybe I'll play again.
 
Hey fellow Yugimon people! Any MA players here on smogon? Wouldn't mind finding someone to play with in real life.

Anyone else planning on buying Tag Force 3? I've always been a fan of the PSP games, simply for the larger card-pool.

I'd post my current deck, but I haven't been playing much due to my newest addiction... *shakes fist at shoddy*
 
After dominating with my Regional-winning, several month old Six Samurai deck every weekend at my locals, I decided to go out on a limb and create a new deck (which won my locals today). Here is the list:

Aura (41)

Monsters (23)

2 Judgment Dragon
2 Dark Armed Dragon
1 Caius the Shadow Monarch
1 Celestia, Lightsworn Angel

2 Garoth, Lightsworn Warrior
2 Lyla, Lightsworn Sorceress
2 Lumina, Lightsworn Summoner
2 Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter
1 Wulf, Lightsworn Beast
1 Jain, Lightsworn Paladin
1 Ehren, Lightsworn Monk

2 Necro Gardna
2 D.D. Crow
1 Junk Syncron
1 Phantom of Chaos

Spells (13)

3 Solar Recharge
2 Charge of the Light Brigade
2 Reinforcement of the Army
1 Mystical Space Typhoon
1 Heavy Storm
1 Brain Control
1 Monster Reborn
1 Monster Reincarnation
1 Foolish Burial

Traps (5)

3 Solemn Judgment
1 Mirror Force
1 Torrential Tribute

Any feedback..?
 
Lol, really? He basically took two of the top decks in the meta and combined them. They're mostly cards from Phantom of Darkness and Light of Destruction. I am wondering why he's using Junk Synchron, though.... Krebons or even Dark Resonator seem like better choices.

Anyways, I'm bored, so I guess I'll post the deck I was using when I played last. Be warned: although it looks like a gimmicky fail deck, it actually runs pretty well, better than even I expected.

2 - Card of Safe Return

Wow!

I have never even heard of half of those cards!
Let alone seen them in a deck together!
Kudos for creativity!

Thank you very much. ^_^ Truth be told, though, this is actually one of my less-creative decks (atleast compared to my others).

Amazingly enough, the deck is terribly efficient; it has a couple answers to most things and I can usually do what I want or depend on something to save me when I am in trouble.

Some people at my locals tell me the same thing, but Junk Synchron has many beauties over the others you mentioned. Not only is it Dark (I know the other two are as well), but it is searchable by Reinforcement of the Army (of which I run two) and it helps with Dark Graveyard management by pulling out D.D. Crow (it also works with Ryko).

A perfect example happened just last night at the local: My opponent had three Lv. 4 Monsters on the field, while I had one Dark in the Graveyard and Junk Synchron (or maybe it was Reinforcement of the Army), Foolish Burial, Brain Control, and Dark Armed Dragon in my hand. I used Foolish Burial on D.D. Crow, summoned Junk Synchron (retrieving the dumped D.D. Crow), Brain Controlled a Lv. 4, Synchro Summoned the Lv. 4, D.D. Crow, and Junk Synchron into Thoughtruler Archfiend, and Special Summoned Dark Armed Dragon now that I had three Darks in the Graveyard. Crazy situations like this are not uncommon with my deck.

As for your deck, it looks like it could fair well. I would suggest trying to fit a Scapegoat somewhere in your deck as it works amazingly well with Tuners and can aid The Calculator. Metal Reflect Slime also gets and honorable mention. Definitely find room for Gorz, though. It would work phenominally with The Calculator.
 
I havent played for years and i just saw grandora the dark destructive dragon out for shonen jump at barnes and nobles. So has it become the new metagame or something? Because i used to proxy it for fun with jerry wang and friends at new york and well it was probably more godly than il blud or friends. And with blazes of demise out.... yeah

Well, I never said it wasn't efficient or wouldn't work well. I was mainly expressing my mild wonder at how he's never heard of the cards in your deck, when they're so widely used in the Shonen tourneys.

Scapegoat requires too many open slots on the field, which does not mesh well with Mind Control, Machine Duplication, and Junk Synchron. The boost it gives The Calculator isn't worth it, giving it a barely-respectable 1800ATK. I understand its general usefulness, but I don't believe it's worth a slot in every deck in the same way that Monster Reborn or Heavy Storm could be considered.

Metal Reflect Slime was a thought when this deck was originally based more around The Calculator, but now that the focus is more on the Synchros, Metal Reflect Slime doesn't offer enough to the deck to warrant the removal of my other Traps. Gorz follows much of the same reasoning; would've helped back during the "Calculator OTK" phase of the deck, but I don't see it quite so much now during the "Calculator Synchro" phase.

But then again, as I've said, I haven't actually played for some time now. Perhaps if I were to actually get back on YVD, my opinions would change, but I don't see that happening for some time. :P
 
when i used to play i always ran a light-dark enovy deck. (me and my friends did not care about the dumb banned list shit) and i always swept them. it was fun. if i ever start to get into it again i have a friend who has every single card and he would give me some decent ones for free.

If Raida's not seeing a resurgence, what's Gandora going to do?

The summoning requirements are too high/slow for the present metagame, thanks to TeleDad and all...

I don't whether Tpup is lucky or a genius.

In case you hadn't noticed, he was being sarcastic.

Just eliminating any doubt. ^_^ I see what you mean.

Duly noted. It was an iffy suggestion from the get-go, but deserves some notation.

Metal Reflect Slime is a little novelty aside from defending your lifepoints every now-and-again. As for Gorz, I would recommend it anyways, as, at the very least, it is an extremely easy-to-summon beatstick (or two) and, in some ways, an OTK-stopper. In addition, it would not be uncommon to have a 4800 ATK The Calculator on the field during your next turn.

Unless one knows the person attempting to express sarcasm, it is not easily conveyed through text.
