Me and Bernaininio have play tested this deck a lot. Although there are no Solemns, it can put a lot of stuff down with Book Of Moon, E-Con spell wise. Hits every deck hard with Chariot and BTH. Side deck and Extra is a secret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno about Brain Control, only good in the mirror. Shrinks don't really do anything, and IGB is recycleable. I have too many mirror matches for more than Waboku. Torrential = Bad in GB's.

There are better cards to deal with the grave. 2 Crow is useless with Retari. Swords of Revealing Light is bad. 3 Test Tiger is overkill. Torrential is horrible, because I need my monsters to survive. I will test the deck though, just to make sure I wasn't missing anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akira Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 There really isn't much I can suggest having little experience with GBs, but some tech I've seen floating around is the use of Cyber Dragon (makes a nice quick recovery in the Mirror in a pinch, combo'd with Book or E-Con), and maybe Dimensional Prison instead of 3rd E-Con?

Tigers really arent overkill dude they are so fast. Swords isnt the best but its because your monsters are weak with 1500atk and swords is a better waboku imo. TT is a backup card mainly in the deck especially in swarm decks such as Blackwing.

TT is a backup card mainly in the deck especially in swarm decks such as Blackwing. I mean it's entirely your choice, just thought id give a few ideas :) Retari is broke, except for the fact I have to tag in and out of Retari to use his effect. LS is too fast for the two turn, remove one card. Oh Noez! Crows don't really do anything except stop the Monster Reincarnation, because with Beckoning Light, they just grab something else, like Lumina instead of Honest/JD. 3 Tigers are overkill because if I draw them: A) One less Rescue Cat TargetB) I need a GB and bad game position in order to effectively use it Keeping 2 in the deck makes sure A) I draw it less often for cat, making me draw betterB) Makes sure I can use another card to keep control I would run Three if I ran Prisma, but I don't have one, and would only tech 1. Waboku > Swords. 1) Swords just sits there, waiting to be destroyed, spun, RFG'd, etc. If it gets targeted, I can always chain Waboku and save my monsters. 2) I can use Waboku offensively, etc, I run a Secutor into another monster, I pull out 2 more GB. Blackwings can't touch GB once it establishes control. If they swarm, my defensive outs punishes them for over extension, and then they basically scoop. If they don't swarm and play conservatively, I cement my control and stomp their face. Torrential stops me having control and to be effective, I would have to be in a losing situation, or a less than optimal situation. Thanks, though for looking. I see why you picked the cards, but I(along with my team) have playtested this deck so much, we have seen a lot of different situations that can arise. @Akira: Cyber Dragon is being tested, I am liking it, however, sometimes it just sits in my hand. Prisions are good, however, I like the flexibility of taking their monster or putting it sideways for Secutor/the easy tag/stopping Honest. Thanks a bunch guys!

I have a lot of defensive spells, so if I pitch away them, I am left in a bad position. Synchros don't really matter in GB that much. I would rather have a defensive(or offensive out) rather than a Synchro that can get Brain'd, Bottomless'd, CED'd etc. I would rather pull a GB out then -2 myself and get a Synchro. Why would I take out a E-Con or a Book of Moon for Shrink when they are better? I have a Retiari, but it isn't that good. I side it. Obviously I'll put Solemns when I can afford them. Thanks dude.

streetballer Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 for a good side deck it would be: 3 Light Imprisoning Mirror- lightswron3 Jowels of Dark Demise- in mirror matches2 Phantom Dragon- alot of special1 Brain Control- mirror matches1 Rafflesia Seduction- mirror matches1 D.D Crow- lightsworn, GB when dumping bestiari from prisma1 Crush Card Virus- when siding in from side against mirror matches. easy to dump out cards like sangan from prisma showing sanwitch then CCV from reborn etc.2 Dust Tornado- side these OR preferably trap eater on royal oppressions with new meta1 Mystical Space Typhoon- Against oppressions, skil drains etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
