The attacks just keep coming! Golden Chain Lariat! (Written)(John Cena.dek)

[Snatch Steal]

I've been waiting to make these for such a long time. They've gone through plenty of changes, and this is the beta of the final version.

...I think I intimidated everyone with the mass amount of cards. I'm basically desperate for reviews, so anything is appreciated.

 

Description: Brawler, oftentimes an aggro deck, consists of monsters which hope to attack the opponent as many times as possible during the battle phase (if you've ever played vanguard, compare them to Aqua Force). Unlike Gladiator Beasts (but the same in all being furries kek), they continue their attacks using Chaos Xyz Summons, striking multiple times and pivoting around the opponent's plays.

Brawler Champion John Cena!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

....I was really tempted to do this

 

 

Strategy: The obvious goal of Brawler is to swarm the field with Xyz materials to use in summons, then attack with everything, using your Rank-Up/Down Magics to break through their defensives. They do not have to OTK, however, and can alternatively act more controlling by Xyz Summoning alternate monsters. In a way, they can almost defeat each of the current meta: Leaping Maestral demolishes weak pendulum monsters with a bit of a boost (courtesy of Vigor), particularly 'specters, who are all extremely weak in contrast to their invincibility effects. Hellish Honcho does not target for its detach effect, so it could potentially help against Kozmo; similarly, Molten Invoker negates Emergency Teleport, and cannot be targetted and thus is not destroyed by way of Dank Destroyer. Then there's Golden Chain, who doesn't allow tagouts...damn.

 

Most combo pathways lead to an Xyz summon via the mass searching and summoning effects. At worst, the deck is linear.

 

Support: Tenki is an obvious choice, and perhaps the only choice as far as type support. It can make Trishula, which is still all-powerful, but it requires situational tactics. 

...I can't think of anything else. If you guys know anything, please tell me.

 

Weaknesses: Vanity's emptiness, Skill Drain to an extent, definitely lose 1 turn, yosenju/floodgate.dek in general. Kaiser Coliseum is also very powerful, allowing the deck to...not do anything. However, the deck can search for a spell/trap popper, so that's nice.

 

 Trivia: Several cards are actually modeled after others, particularly Molten Invoker after Heraklinos, Hellish Honcho after Wavering Eyes, Brawler Assembly somewhat after Hysteric Party, and Bolt after Stratos

 

Lore: THAT'S MY FETISH!!!
