Deck Contest: M-Merchant Self Mill

[-Griffin]

I just remembered a Deck someone posted a while ago on here and wondered if YCM could do it better:

 

Requirements for this Deck:

 

1) 40-50 card Deck, all cards must be monsters,

2) Your primary win condition and focus of the Deck must clearly be activating Magical Merchant's effect - that should give you a win most of the time.

3) No entry fee

4) 1 Deck per person

5) There are points for being original.

6) Have fun

 

Prizes:

1st- 3 reps

2nd- 2 reps

3rd- 1 rep

 

I will not be accepting judges

 

Contestants:

*1 -

*2 -

*3 -

*4 -

*5 -

I'm not posting this in trad, so we're following the current list ^-^

I've got WC09, so I guess I'll start testing the above Deck, but non-WC09 builds are fine.

 

EDIT: Can people please include their Extra Decks? I'll use something random if you don't, but it'll probably suck.

[-Griffin]

[.Nu-13]

Um.. what's the point of destructing your own deck?

[Spiff!]

to get loads of stuff in the grave.

[.Nu-13]

and then? (except zombies)

[Spiff!]

use a lot of effects from the grave.

[.Nu-13]

hmmmm... -Griffin, reserve me a spot

[-Griffin]

Reserved.

Seph, I recommend you try and figure out EXACTLY what happens if Merchant is flipped on your opponent's turn with your Deck.

[Rose]

Can i reserve? i want to try this for teh lulz.

[-Griffin]

Anyone can - spot reserved.

[Fraz]

umm... if you activate merchant's effect and find out there's no spells or traps left in deck then you shuffle all picked up cards and put them back... There's no point in merchant here.

No, rulings and the games say that they all go to the Graveyard, and count as being sent there from the Deck.

The YGO games are full of glithces :S

[-Griffin]

Most of the "glitches" are OCG rulings which differ from TCG rulings.

Although there are some serious ones.

Either way, this contest goes by the games. Because it's fun.

[Fraz]

No... the rulings say you shuffle up. Like when sangan activates and there's no targets.

[-Griffin]

Either way' date=' this contest goes by the games. Because it's fun.

So opponent attacks your merchant, you put deck in grave... on your turn you lose by deckout? You don't have any way to prevent attacks because you're using only monsters in your deck so there's no way to use merchant's effect on your own turn?

[-Griffin]

Yep. That works fine now Seph.
