My deck

[Antari]

I know it may not be the BEST deck, but it's mine, and it always beats my friends. Yes, I have god cards, but they're the tournament legal versions released in Shonen Jump recently. New artwork and similar effects. (Ra kinda sucks now that it's balanced.) SJ needs to get a tourny legal Slifer now. There are 50 cards in this deck.

a theme? my theme is power. just brute force. I want to crush my opponents with neosphere, my wickeds, or my gods! Primarilly fiends and dark.

Fiends =/= Theme
Dark =/= Theme
Power =/= Theme

Why do newbies insist on being all: "YES, I HAEV TEH GAWD KARDS BECAUSE OBVSLY NOBODY ELS ON THE PLANT CAN USE EBAY 2 GET DEM FOR LIEK 3$"?
Seriously.... :/

[i]"Each deck needs a theme of some sort. Some new players will simply throw together cards that they like; however, these decks, commonly described as "HOLY PILE OF RANDOM, BATMAN!", suffer from a severe lack of synergy. Synergy is the way in which the cards in a deck work together and complement one another; random decks generally do not have this support, leaving them at a huge disadvantage.

A deck's theme could be anything from a series of cards that were specifically designed to work together as a set, such as the Crystal Beast cards, to cards that all support a specific win condition. Simply throwing together a variety of unrelated cards will not produce results, as the deck will at best be trying to do several different things incompetently and at worst be tripping over its own feet."[/i]

[b]Theme: [/b]A theme is sort of like the Deck goal/focus. It's what you hope to achieve and you want to do it as
consistently as possible. Note: Fiends or DARK are not themes. They are types and attributes respectively.
Lightsworn is a theme. It focuses on milling (sending cards from your Deck to the Graveyard) in order to swarm the field
and attack for game.

wait right here and I'll come up with some form of Anti-Meta Fiend deck...

Monsters (18)
3 Caius, the Shadow Monarch
3 Battle Fader
1 Gorz, the Emissary of Darkness
1 Tragoedia
2 Vanity's Fiend
1 Sangan
3 Stygian Street Patrol
1 Darkness Neosphere
3 Giant Germ

Spells (15)
1 Allure of Darkness
2 Soul Exchange
3 Solidarity
1 Card Destruction
2 Mystical Space Typhoon
1 Cold Wave
1 Giant Trunade
1 Dark Hole
1 Monster Reborn
2 Gold Sarcophagus

Traps (7)
2 Bottomless Trap Hole
2 Compulsory Evacuation Device
1 Royal Oppression
1 Call of the Haunted
1 Mirror Force

This was assuming an economical version... And I'm too lazy to think of how to make a decent Anti-Meta fiend deck.

[Antari]

Point taken.

[Lewk]

Pick a theme. Like Plants. Or an Archtype. Like Frogs or Gravekeepers. And we'll build a deck around it. This is no deck, just a random pile of cards...

[Antari]

Give me a minute and i'll pick out a good theme.

[Legend Zero]

This is a list of some deck themes.

[Yeezus]

I love how ironic it is when people think fiends isn't a theme but plants are...

[Sephiroth_The_Legend]

Plants generally aren't.

Variants of them are... Same with Fish....

[Lewk]

I was simply throwing it out there as the first type-related theme that I thought/heard of that was competitive was some sort of plant build with lonefires and gigaplant.

[RAEGING D0GKING]

Use Morphtronics, cheap and fun.
