Guest Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Protip: Throwing together a bunch of random cards from a certain archetype and adding a few splashables in does not result in a good deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Star Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 I don't even know what all of those cards do, but I know for a fact that this isn't a good Deck. Where's Snipe Hunter, Sangan, Gorz, the Emissary of Darkness, etc.? Different Dimension Capsule is a horrible card. Arcana Force EX - The Light Ruler is a horrible card.

When I build a deck I focus on the set of cards itself not 1 of them and then a load of random cards. I was once like you. Speaking from experience, it doesnt work. Lightsworn is one of the few if not the only exceptions to this rule since enough of the cards in their archetype exist to make a competitive Deck. Not all archetypes are good. That means you have to seek options outside that archetype. The cards I use focus on the strategy of the card that is most important in the Deck. The World Lockdown can eliminate your opponent in 3 turns assuming they have a clear field. Darklord Zerato eliminates their monsters and feeds the Graveyard with Samsara Lotus' for the Lock and Heavy Storm and Giant Trunade effectively eliminate the opponent's back row. They cant play anything if they dont have a turn in the case of Giant Trunade and Heavy Storm, everyone knows what happens to the cards that get destroyed. Reversal of Fate is to ensure I get the desired result for the World Lock to work. When building a themed Deck, you do indeed need to look at the cards in that archetype and pick out the best ones such as The World for example. The World runs at 3. Then you look at cards outside the Archetype that can bring out The World easier. Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen allows The World to be summoned assuming you have no Monsters and leaves you with a Normal Summon. Gellenduo is The Lovers and The Fool combined into 1 but better. Gellenduo doesnt get handicapped like The Fool and it has a better range of cards you can Tribute Summon with it than The Lovers. Im not saying The Fool is a bad card but something like Enemy Controller basically allows your opponent to attack you directly and that isnt good. You have to also look at what Decks are dominating and build your Deck to keep up with or prove to be some competition to those Decks. In this Meta, non-chainable Traps like Sakuretsu Armor are usually pointless. Even though it is cost-free, you lose a card and have no chance to respond with it. Raigeki Break is now considered the better option not only because of the fact you have a wider range of targets, you can respond with it when it gets hit by Breaker's effect or Mystical Space Typhoon or similar cards. Even Mirror Force is becoming a bit meh since it is non-chainable. Torrential Tribute may not be chainable but it deals with problem monsters like Dark Armed Dragon as soon as they hit the field. Even Light Ruler. There are more efficient ways of summoning it outside the Arcana Force archetype. A machine with 500 or less ATK + Machine Duplication. You basically spend 2 cards to summon a Monster that requires 3 cards. Cards from the Deck are generated advantage so you dont really include them in the overall advantage loss you would suffer. Keep all this in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire deck is dedicated specifically to The World and combos involving The World; adding other Arcana Force monsters would be unnecessary. Look at the other cards being used. Gellenduo and Valhalla are there to make it easy to get The World out (by the way, why on earth would you run The Lovers over Gellenduo or Kaiser Sea Horse?), and Samsara Lotuses and Treeborn Frog are there to set up the World Lock that prevents the opponent from ever taking another turn - which, of course, is why Armageddon Knights and Foolish Burials are there to get said monsters in the grave in the first place. The World Lock deck has strategy. YOUR deck, on the other hand, is just a bunch of cards mindlessly piled together on the grounds that their names all contain a certain phrase.

Takashi125 Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Here's some advice: Don't post fun decks, you'll only be critisized and called a noob. (hmm... that should be a rule) Sad but true. A majority of the members here are tournament players and they laugh at silly fun decks that can be torn apart by their hardcore tourny decks. Now I respect that you love to use all the Arcana Force cards and you can stick with your Fun Arcana deck, but you should also build a serious deck that utilizes Arcana force cards *points to JD's build* if you ever hope to win, let alone survive in a tournament.

Luna Diviner Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 I'm no pro but I think you should get rid of half your traps and half your spells and most of your monsters and add new ones. More traps than spells is bad. I remember when I was like you, but now I play Lightsworn fun AND competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
