How to Make an Occult deck.

[MrParaduo]

I'm trying to make a balanced occult deck, with goblins and gouls and Brady Bunch monsters of the like, using mostly Dark world monster cards with a few tweaks. However, I don't want an entirely dark attributed deck, since that could come back and slap me in the face. So, I need some suggestions for what to put into a deck of 40-60 cards, including spell and traps that fit the theme of my choice. Any ideas would be more then appreciated.

 

Thank you.

Indeed? Alright...any suggestions as to what to start off with? Dark Necrofear? Yata-garasu? King of Yamimakai? Or something else? :?

 

WTF are you on? Try make a deck that bases on either Blackwings or DAD (Dark Armed Dragon). Both are very good.

This is stupid. You're making decks wrong.

Dark is not a theme, Blackwings are. You're combining random cards in the hope that they will work out. Do some research and make a Deck that works.

Unlike all of you, I will decide to make an USEFUL GUIDE.

[spoiler=guide of my own]

I usually make decks like this.

(I will use the Dark Counterparts deck as an example.)

1. Get an awesome card. (like Dark Armed Dragon)

2. Get free time.

3. Open up your card collection to see cards that are good with the awesome card. (such as in my case, more Dark counterparts.)

4. Add the "staples" to the deck.

[spoiler=staples]

Synchros

Mirror Force

Negatatation cards (such as the "jammer"s)

Search (like Sangan)

Destruction (like Smashing Ground and Lightning Vortex)

Spell/Trap Removal (like heavy storm)

Scapegoat and Attack negaters (magic cylinder, sakuretsuarmor etc.)

Much much more!

 

 

5. Think up what this deck is weak against. THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT!! (for instance, Dark Counterparts are weak against Removal decks.) Then add the cards that can "counter" that deck. (for example, I can add more Spell/Trap Removal cards to destroy the key cards of the Removal Deck such as Macro Cosmos.) This makes your deck unbeatable against what SHOULD kill it.

6. Get monsters in of the same consept or archetype so that they are about 20.

7. Get spells and traps in to cover more bad parts and stretch the good.

8. MOST IMPORTANT!! TEST DUEL!!

The test decks I use are the following:

 

Burn (direct damage)

Lock (using cards that restrict opponent's moves)

High ATK (many monsters with high ATK)

 

These decks are the ones that seem to be often used in tournaments, so check out what your deck is weak against using the test duel. You can always call your freinds to do this. Try to duel with each of the test decks 3 to 5 times. When you duel against them and you realize that there is a deck type you are still weak against, try getting more "counter"s in, and take out the bad cards that didn't help you. They try again with that deck, and do this until you win. Yes, it takes time. But nonthless, it makes your deck even more invincible against all sorts!!

9. Really dueling. The more decks your freinds have, the better because you can see what decks most people use besides the main 3 concepts. Make a list of the decks you dueled with, and write wherether you won or lost. After that, when the freinds leave, you can get more cards to counter it. In the next playdate, duel them again to see if you win. Once you can counter any deck, your deck is TRUELY UNBEATABLE!!!

 

P.S. Deck building is simular to writing stories. You make up the plot, add details, and revise again and again. A good deck should have an Ace, Supports, Staples, and Counters of the weakness. Remember, any deck has a weakness, no matter how good it looks. Just shovelling in rare cards you glimpse in your folder doesn't make it good. I always revise my deck a lot if I have time. As monthes pass, more cards and eck concepts arise, and the old decks vanish. So you'll have to change your deck a few times a month if a new booster or structure deck comes out. Good luck!

Marvelously done, I happen to be a writer as well, so that makes this even more interesting now for me, kudos to you, Kenta. You get respectable rep!

That was harsh, what'd I do?

I was thinking more on the lines of Dark World Monsters anyway, and I have plenty of ideas for what to do with my spirit monsters. Just need an Izanagi. Hehehehehehee. :twisted:

[Agaming]

Well i think maybe some Spirits may be useful but it's your deck i can help but you have a think 'bout it

Thanks!! (even if I do something good to someone else, they don't give me reps most of the time...)
