Ghostrick Mansion OR Ghostrick Museum

[SecondWar]

                                                

 

Ghostrick Mansion

Field-Spell Card

Monsters cannot attack face-down Defense Position monsters, but can attack directly if all monsters their opponent controls are face-down Defense Position. All effect damage, and battle damage inflicted by monsters other than "Ghostrick" monsters, is halved.

 

Ghostrick Museum

Field-Spell Card
Monsters you control cannot attack, except "Ghostrick" monsters. Monsters cannot attack face-down Defense Position monsters, but can attack directly if all monsters their opponent controls are face-down Defense Position. At the end of the Damage Step, if a monster inflicts battle damage: Change that monster to face-down Defense Position.

 

Which one is better?
Discuss.

Mansion is muuuuuuuch better because it doesn't leave you like super open for direct damage/OTKs. Dark Swords, Panic, Witch, Frosty, and Roleshift can deal with flipping monsters down. Now, if Museum were a continuous card, the deck would probably be competitive.

[Toffee.]

Mansion is a safety net.
Museum is just weird.

.....Pretty straight forward, on which one is better.

[Goose]

Mansion let's you attack with monsters that aren't Ghostrick so right there is why it's better.

Hardly.  I highly doubt you'd be using any non-Ghostricks the majority of the time.

 

It's better cuz it doesn't leave you wide open to be gamed like Museum does.

I though Monarchs were like how to win with Ghostricks though

Monarchs?  Where'd you get that from?  Lol

 

I have never seen Monarchs used in Ghostrick, and my Monarch-less build runs far better than any other variant of Ghostricks I've tried.

 

From my experience, Ghostrick's wincon is to layer up the field with little guys via Jiangshi and poke repeatedly for game, all the while establishing control with Panic, Dark Swords, and Witch.

Oh, and Roleshift.

That's how I played them in August, but I remember hearing that like Monarchs were good in them or something.  Maybe I'm wrong though.

Do you remember who you heard it from?  Cuz if it's someone good then hell yeah ima run Monarchs

[Goose]

Thought it was Koko, but looking back I can't find any posts about it.  Must be my imagination.

[Wildflame]

Ghostrick Monarchs is a deck, and regular Ghostric is another one. Then again, I never played either of them.

[Azuh]

I'm leaning towards Ghistrick mill just because Skeleton is just so good

Let me go all Armz for a second here;

 

The arts show Mummy and Stien in a very similar position, have a similar face in each, and both are holding Witch. They both have similar skin colors (At least, Stein's Fingers and left Chest), are both Large, have "horns" on their heads, and have similar stats. So, Stein Is basically a "modern" version of Mummy.

In addition, the Tricks Shown in House are all rather "Refined" or would base themselves in a more modern environment (ie: Ghost has a Sheet on, Lantern "blends in" with the Jack-o-Lanterns common to today) while the ones in Museum are more ancient; things that belong in a museum (Dullahan is a Knight, Mummy is...A Mummy, The concept of a Grim reaper has been around a long time, and Mary is both an antique Mirror, and the legend she corresponds to is loosely based on Queen Mary), so each Field is an area where the Ghostricks that correspond to there live, basically.

 

Also; Witch and Jiangshi are the only ones that appear twice, and Witch is one of few Humans, and is the most human of the Spellcasters, with Yuki being a Spirit, and Catgirl being partially Cat. Just as a thought; Witch could be the caretaker of the Ghostricks, hence her ability to Flip stuff face down very plainly, to protect the ghostricks, or keep "outsiders" from discovering their realm. Perhaps she gifted this magic, in a more limited form, to the ghostricks, to let them flip themselves down, or unleash it in things like panic, in a pinch/added magical power.

Lithium2300 actually made a video using the deck. It seemed decent, though I wouldn't say it's better than regular Ghostrick.

Personally, I'd say Mansion is much better, but with so many Field Spell Decks I'd tech 1 Mansion to win the field wars.

Let me go all Armz for a second here-

That's not exactly how I would go about it.
Also you forgot to mention Beast of the Pharaoh.

[Airride]

Well, it's your style to make theories based on the art/effects of cards. Not exactly what you may have done, but whatever.

 

As for beast; The pet of Mummy in his past life, before becoming a Ghostrick/Mummy.
