Spoon Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Scrap the [b]bolded[/b] ones completely, they're, for the most part, unneeded in Reptiliannes.

For the rest, (try to) do as follows: -1 or 2 Medusa (more is really not needed and becomes dead drawy) -1 Scylla (2 is enough) +3 Offering to the Snake Deity (A great card overall, combos well with Gardna) -1 OR +1 Viper's Rebirth (If you scrap all non-Reptile's, run more, otherwise run none) +1 Dandylion (if you choose not to run Viper's Rebirth) +2 Recurring Nightmare (it's awesome in Reptiliannes) +1 Scapegoat (4 free 0 ATK Tokens? Yes please!) Then, you're missing a LOT of staples: +1 Torrential Tribute +1 Solemn Judgment +1 Dark Hole +1 Monster Reborn +1 Allure of Darkness at least, if you want and have space, you can also add: Call of the Haunted, Solemn Warning, Ojama Trio (combos well with Hydra). Also, your Extra Deck looks terrible... is that all you can do, or is that really how you would want to run it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noze Zelle Posted February 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Thank you very much for your input! I see what you mean concerning cards to scrap and decrease amounts of, etc. However there are a few things I don't quite agree with and would rather pursue an alternate solution. 1) Oshaleon is Reptile support especially since a good portion of useful cards have less than 500 ATK. 2) Zero Gardna is like a less good battle fader, but essentially serves the same purpose as a defensive measure with 0 ATK. 3) Man-Eater Bug is like Ryko without self-milling...I also don't own Ryko. 4) Some of the cards are there to make use of Medusa/DAD (Gorgon/Cost Down/etc.) 5) Medusa's ability makes it easy to do 2 of my favorite things: Make ideal summoning conditions for Vaskii/DAD and make ideal conditions for syncing due to viper's and/or scylla's effects. Medusa makes OTKs fun! I just want to make sure I have one and other(s) just in case that one gets destroyed/RFG. 6) With a few 0 atk monsters and not a lot of special summoning, I'd like to run Waboku, and with discarding effects Defense Draw is really helpful especially with direct attacks if I've already used Battle Fader. As for the staples, that's just the ever-present hard-to-come-by/not-made-of-money/etc. Also, especially for the ones that destroy opponents' cards, I don't really want to destroy the opposing monsters as much as I want to keep them on the field and use them to my advantage. And as for the extra deck...that's pretty much what I got...I just pulled a Scrap Archfiend...which is...okay I guess? I also have a Splendid Rose and Gae Dearg...which are useless in this deck... Any other suggestions? Or reasons I am a moron for those 6 objections? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monztor Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 I've been a long time reptilliane user so I've had a lot of fun using them =) There are multiple routes of going about this deck, and the one Spoon suggests is more that focuses on Vaskii. As Spoon as already mentioned, the key monsters in this deck are Naga, Vaskii, and Spawn. I also like to argue that Guardna is a key monster as it combos so well with Offerings to the snake deity and you can search ANY reptiallliane in your deck to your hand, by any means of it being destroyed. Torrential tribute when summoning a gaurdna or having mutliple gaurdnas on the field can generate a lot of advantage. Currently, I've been playing around with Control Reptillianes, focusing on the cards enemy controller, creature swap, alien brain. Even in this case, naga, gaurdna, vaskii, and spawn are very key to your play. Monsters 3 Naga (Once you get three of this card, you will be hated for your facedowns. All my friends dedicate their destruction power toward my facedown monsters.) 2 Viper (I wouldn't run three most of the time. It sucks when you draw into a viper and nothing to take control of.) 3 Guardna (Absolutely key, speeds up the deck by letting your grab which ever reptilliane you need) 2 Scylla (Beat Stick, and "Mini Goyo" ability makes it useful, but not the MVP in the match up) 2 Medusa (Love the card, sets you up for hydra, scylla, viper, or vaskii and combo's well with dandylion) 2 Vaskii (powerful abilities in the fact you can eat two of thier monsters, AND still blast one with her destruction abilitiy. i don't like three because of dead drawing) For the last slots you can play around with. Oshaleon (Works great by adding more search power and great in a creature swap build) DAD Battle Fader (Turn saver, and Medusa and Vaskii fodder) Dandylion (Generates tokens for sychro with viper, or to tribute for medusa, or vaskii food) Etc Just get more of the staples and you'll be much better off. if i have time later, I'll post you multiple builds, and one that i've been working on probably.

Spoon Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 [quote]Any other suggestions? Or reasons I am a moron for those 6 objections?[/quote] Just a little bit But one at a time. [quote name='Noze Zelle' timestamp='1298923570' post='5041533'] 1) Oshaleon is Reptile support especially since a good portion of useful cards have less than 500 ATK.[/quote] Gardna is the better searcher for you, period. One more Oshaleon does absolutely nothing for your deck, and 3 Gardna is usually more than enough. [quote]2) Zero Gardna is like a less good battle fader, but essentially serves the same purpose as a defensive measure with 0 ATK.[/quote] You name it: A weaker Battle Fader. If you want to run something defensive, run more Battle Faders. But I'd suggest keeping it at 1 and scrap Gardna, you shouldn't need that many defensive maneuvers. [quote]3) Man-Eater Bug is like Ryko without self-milling...I also don't own Ryko.[/quote] Man-Eater Bug is not Ryko. It can't kill any card, only monsters, and milling is (not that much for this deck, but in general) a pretty good thing to have. To quote you: "I don't really want to destroy the opposing monsters as much as I want to keep them on the field and use them to my advantage." If that is the case, you don't need Man-Eater Bug [quote]4) Some of the cards are there to make use of Medusa/DAD (Gorgon/Cost Down/etc.)[/quote] DAD is nice to have, but it's only 1 card out of 40, that isn't directly searchable by any means. You just can't rely on it. Cost Down just takes up space, that you could fill with more useful cards (if you had them). Medusa becomes dead drawy, at least take out 1, 2 is usually enough to keep your Vaskii coming, especially because you can search it out with Gardna. [quote]5) Medusa's ability makes it easy to do 2 of my favorite things: Make ideal summoning conditions for Vaskii/DAD and make ideal conditions for syncing due to viper's and/or scylla's effects. Medusa makes OTKs fun! I just want to make sure I have one and other(s) just in case that one gets destroyed/RFG.[/quote] This deck isn't made for OTKs, it doesn't have the cards to do it. As I said, 2 is okay, but 3 is a crowd. [quote]6) With a few 0 atk monsters and not a lot of special summoning, I'd like to run Waboku, and with discarding effects Defense Draw is really helpful especially with direct attacks if I've already used Battle Fader.[/quote] I can understand Waboku, but 1 random Defense Draw that is a +0 in card advantage only for no damage? Then I'd rather take the damage and use Damage = Reptile. If you don't have the means to get the named staples, it's okay, but there are way better cards out there. [quote]As for the staples, that's just the ever-present hard-to-come-by/not-made-of-money/etc. Also, especially for the ones that destroy opponents' cards, I don't really want to destroy the opposing monsters as much as I want to keep them on the field and use them to my advantage. And as for the extra deck...that's pretty much what I got...I just pulled a Scrap Archfiend...which is...okay I guess? I also have a Splendid Rose and Gae Dearg...which are useless in this deck...[/quote] Yeah, can't do much about the Extra Deck then, though having a Brionac would be pretty good. Still, if you can get your hands on them, run some of those staples, especially Solemn Judgment, Monster Reborn, Allure of Darkness and Dark Hole. Otherwise, there's nothing I can tell you, if you're running on a budget, that's always a little tricky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bringerofcake Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Gardna is in fact a key card in the same way that Kageki and Black Whirlwing are keys: They set up your plays. Also, if you're running Zero Guardna, run Swift Scarecrow instead. They serve essentially the same roles, but Scarecrow is faster, easier to activate, and doesn't use your Normal Summon. Monster Reborn and Dark Hole are exceedingly cheap, and are necessary (Dark Hole especially, as it sets up Gardna plays) You've reminded me that I need to get a Rep deck ready for March. 1 Dandy makes me QQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeppeli Gyro Supreme Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 I agree with all of Spoon's original changes, except that Dust Tornado and Swords each are the only cards that could stay. Oshaleon might be an okay idea, too, but... -Shrugs- Gorgon might be able to stay too. Not sure, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noze Zelle Posted March 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Yeah, edited the deck and played online on KCVDS...very VERY effective Also, Ojama Trio is the most key card ever for this deck. If anything would it be reasonable to run Double Summon with Zero Gardna? I know it takes up the normal summon and I know that it's it can also be Vaskii food because of its Zero ATK. Also, with Defense Draw, it would be good for situations with no monsters on the field and I increase advantage whereas Swift Scarecrow causes disadvantage. Ideally I'd just run a second or even third Battle Fader...I dare to dream. The only reason I am persistent with these is that when I drew them and used them as I intended, it helped me get at least an advantage, if not a win. Anyway here's the edit: ******************* Total: 40 Monsters: 21 Reptilianne Gardna x3 Reptilianne Medusa x2 Reptilianne Naga x3 Reptilianne Scylla x2 Reptilianne Vaskii x3 Reptilianne Viper x3 Battle Fader Dark Armed Dragon Sangan Oshaleon Dandylion Spells: 10 Mystical Space Typhoon x2 Reptilianne Spawn x2 Recurring Nightmare x2 Scapegoat Allure of Darkness Monster Reborn Dark Hole Traps: 9 Mirror Force Offerings to the Snake Deity x3 Torrential Tribute Ojama Trio Call of the Haunted Solemn Warning ******************* Fortunately, none of the Reptilianne cards are pricey on their own. However, for Dandylion, Offerings to the Snake Deity, Solemn Warning, and Recurring Nightmare, for now, I'll have to replace with what I own/have easier access to: - Limit Impulse - Raigeki Break - Dust Tornado - Trap Hole - Compulsory Evacuation Device - etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeppeli Gyro Supreme Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Limit Impulse is terrible, and Bottomless Trap Hole is preferable over Trap Hole. Raigeki Break isn't amazing, but it's at least usable... Compulsory is fine, though, and Dust Tornado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noze Zelle Posted March 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 I know Bottomless is preferred over Trap, but what happens when your opponent summons a 1300 ATK monster? You can't use bottomless on that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bringerofcake Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 But at the same time, most of your monsters will run over it, making that point moot. Though if you truly ARE worried, there's always Solemn Warning... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keitaro Higurai Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 hmm why you dont use also Alien Brain in your deck, it would make your enemies think twice or three times before attacking a lone viper on the field, you should also try some effect damage side deck, I used reptilianne decks as counter attacks decks, with ananta as the finisher when you have 5 or more reptile type monsters in the graveyard, just think this combo before your opponent finish its turn you use Scapegoat, 4 0 atk tokens, then you can or not use a dna surgery to make all your monsters reptile types then you can special summon ananta with already 2400 atk plus all your reptile monsters in your graveyard, or, dont use dna surgery and summon ananta, and vaski next turn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
