Solemn their first Zebesian? That will slow down the deck a lot. Unstable, but fast if you get it right. Yes, this is a pop-culture deck based off the creatures from Metroid, but I hope you are willing to review all the same. All main images are taken from the Metroid Database Bestiary, and edited with background from Deviantart to make them look more Yu-Gi-Oh-esque. CnC please.

Dova Posted December 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 Yes, I'm tempted to make something similar to that Melodius card that summons if you have no monsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partangle the Candle Jangler Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 I'm going to attempt to comment on these, but 15 is a large and scary number so I'll probably stay away from the extra deck ones and do the other things for now. Well I mean straight away from skimming them the fact they all have inherent summoning effects but you've got no Black Whirlwind or RR - Nest style thing, or even a RotA. Seems like something that'd be fairly essential to a Synchro deck because they tend to be so fragile. Anyway, onto the cards individually. Brinstar - Immediately addresses the issue I mentioned by being like a Terrortop that requires something already out. Seems rather excellent for making synchros of any level since it being a 3 tuner and summoning off of presumably a 4 being on the board gives it access to any 7 or 11. Or 8 if you search that 5 out. Good stuff. Crateria and the other 4s are interesting in their summoning from the banished zone mechanic which is an entirely unique concept. Makes BTH something you'd rather hit than not. Seeing as Crateria will only ever be summoned by controlling Brinstar its guaranteed a chance at its effect, and if there's something there to banish it'll be able to summon itself. To be quite honest this looks like more of a rank 4 spam than synchro-deck. All the 4s can summon off each other's presence bar Marida who is entirely focused on Synchro-forcing, and they can all banish each other to trigger each other to plus more. The fact a synchro based deck only has 1 tuner who also happens to be the only searcher and logically following that, only searchable by another copy of itself, seems quite a bad way to go about it. Going to just go onto the spells now because I think they're more important to discuss as they give context to the monsters a bit. And they're both fairly insane. Allure of Darkness is at 1 and that can only be used with decks that don't particularly want to banish their things. This deck loves banishing its shit and can now run 4, 3 of which are searchable. I'm not clear on whether the effect blocking only occurs on a mass banish or whether you have one or not, I presume it to be regardless because otherwise it has no effect as you'd only be able use Zebesian effects from the banished zone and if you do have 1 you have to banish it as part of the effect and can't choose to banish them all. Which does hold back the shenanigans a tiny bit put it still is 3 extra copies of a limited card. I get that you looked at Allure and thought "this works well", but it works too well with these. I don't know really what to do with it. I'd say if you switched it to having to banish as a cost and then removing the mass banish effect off the end of it that'd be alright, less powerful but still a very strong draw power card. Call is an AHL that just reloads your grave in order for it to use its second effect and make all kinds of crazy plays. If you have a 4 on field and a banished 4 you can do the Ptolo-Infinity play easily, or set up for Rafflesia and something else. Hell, Mask Change 2 works excellently in this deck given you want your stuff in the grave or banished, so you can go for Rafflesia Law or Law Infinity fields without overt difficulty. The fact it's a searchable +1 (if you use both effects, which there's no restriction on doing) that can be used to bring out the tuner which can search another one making it a +2 which can then +2 again should you so wish, at which point you've got so many options. I mean Pantheism of the Monarchs has demonstrated that even when one effect is given a hard OPT it's not enough, genuinely I think this card makes the deck far better than it otherwise would be. HOWEVER, I have not looked at the synchros at all yet, so take this all with a grain of salt. As is it looks quite powerful, Call and Allure are a bit mental but the other cards are fine enough and even using generic Xyz and synchros it looks like quite a decent to good set of cards. I will, probably not, but hopefully, look at and review the synchros at some stage. I just don't see why a deck with 1 tuner and 4 spammable level 4s would have 7 synchros though.

Dova Posted December 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 Well...I agree with everything you've said there. I'm gonna renovate the whole thing. I don't know why I didn't spot the flaws you did. The deck was supposed to have a different take, focusing on Brinstar, and I obviously didn't change much about it. Thank you.

Protodax Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 How is having a weakness to this limited trap (which every deck has a "weakness" to) a BIG problem?It's particularly problematic when it can kill the whole deck, especially with Notice on the horizon.
