Noble Knights

[Steamparrot]

I want to start a Noble Knights deck but they seem quite rare and hard to find. Besides that I'm wondering about what their strengths or weaknesses would be, or what spells/traps/etc. to use with them. If anyone's knowledgeable, let me know... thanks.

If you're a new player, then simply DON'T. Noble Knights are incredibly expensive as a deck and you can build a far better one for a fraction of the price. The only play they have that makes them usable is using Medraut to make Artorigus and Equip him with stuff to make him basically invincible. If you don't draw Medraut, you can't realistically win. They might have a couple more things going for them but I'm no complete expert. All I know is that they don't top events, they are far too expensive and they have massive consistency issues.

Noble Knights as a whole are only TCG exclusives, which automatically makes them money cards. You would be better off, as a new player, purchasing one of the Structure or prebuilt Decks, use that and then collect more from buying other Structure Decks. It's simpler and easier than buying singles.

If only there were a section for threads like this...

 

NS: I cry when I see this deck because their moves take so long.

[Wildflame]

They are fine, but yes, they are ridiculously expensive.

 

Though gameplay-wise, they are very linear and easy to learn.

I just got rid of the Deck after playing it IRL for a bit. Not only is it expensive, and I had mine in highest rarity, it's boring as shit and not that consistent at all.

The Deck's one play is to drop Medraut, hope you get a Noble Arms, go into Borz, somehow get access to Gwen while getting an Excaliburn in the Graveyard, and then overlaying to create an Artorigus that has all sorts of absurd protection.

Not only that, but if Artorigus is destroyed, you bring Medraut back and do it all over again. Unless you sack into an Excalibur or Blade Armor against a weaker Deck, this is your playstyle.

It's inherently boring and has very little player interaction. The price of Medraut alone has hit 55$ over the past few days, and you need 3 to even run the Deck.

Better off building something different.

You do realize you can grab Gwen with Borz, since she's a "Noble Arms" card? And that with Borz effect, you can instantaneously drop Gwen, Destiny and/or Excaliburn, while getting to keep one of them in your hand? And that after using Medraut's effect, and the Noble Arms equipped to him is destroyed, you should use its effect to equip to Borz to be able to use his effect, then, equip the card you added to your hand to Medraut to Xyz into Sacred Artorigus without wasting an Excaliburn, don't you?

So, to sum it up, the only things you really need to make this combo are Medraut + Any Noble Arms (bar Gwen and Excaliburn), which, given you should run a bunch of them in your NK Deck, should be really easy to get?

I'm aware you can grab Gwen with Borz. The combo works better if Gwen hits the Graveyard and you get an actual Noble Arms Spell in hand so you can make Medraut Level 5 and then overlay and be able to equip Gwen to Artorigus.

Still, it's a one play Deck and it's boring as hell.

Yeah, that's why I got rid of my Noble Knights for stuffs that I wanted more because I was getting bored with it.

If you're an OCG player, Noble Knights aren't terribly expensive since they get printed in Extra Packs, but most of their stuff isn't there yet so I suppose that's moot.

The deck would be much better if Konami TCG cut the farce out and gave them a RotA, but despite their love of the theme to rival Konami OCG's love of Bujins they've steadfastly refused to give them the one thing they actually NEED. Their new Field Spell it even biting ther thumb at the playerbase at this point.

[Azuh]

It just would be nice if they would just create them a Structure Deck with all the cards they have printed for them, and release the rest of the set within it. The problem is that Konami have no idea what Noble Knights are in terms of playability and thus they have skewed.
