Serpents of the Sea

So, there was a request for a Sea-Serpent deck...

So Ive went ahead and made a post-RGBT Sea Serpent deck, focusing not on big sea serpents but more on the instant syncro ability of Deep Sea Diva and some other monsters. So it appears as below.
Oh, and it is, like Elysium, almost invincible to CCV.

Deep Sea Syncron
深海シンクロ

Monsters 19
3 Deep Sea Diva
2 Sea Archer
3 Needle Gillman
1 Treeborn Frog
3 Bolt Hedgehog
3 Lightsworn Hunter Ryko
2 Junk Syncron
1 Sangan
1 Plaguespreader Zombie

Spell 14
1 Lightning Vortex
3 Pot of Avarice
3 Salvage
1 Monster Reborn
1 Heavy Storm
1 Mystical Space Typhoon
1 Card of Safe Return
2 Burial From a Different Dimension (Or use Royal Iron Wall)
1 Brain Control

Trap 7
3 Spiritual Water Art - Aoi
2 Raigeki Break
1 Mirror Force
1 Torrential Tribute

Extra Deck: 15 (simply because this deck has pretty messed up Syncro summoing targets... try for something similar. No Gugnir, etc wont change much. Tweak to your own needs.)

2 Armory Arm

3 Divine Levia Dragon - Gishlnodon
1 AOJ Catastor
1 Mystical Android
1 Junk Warrior

1 Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Boundary
1 Goyou Gaurdian

2 Black Rose Dragon
1 Gugnir, Dragon of the Ice Boundary
1 Dark Dive Bomber

1 Stardust Dragon

So. Some playing tips:

Divine Levia Dragon - Gishilnodon
5/Water/SeaSerpent/SyncroEffect
1 Tuner + 1 non-Tuner Level 3 monster
When a face-up Level 3 or lower monster is sent to the Graveyard, this card's ATK becomes 3000 until the End Phase of this turn.


Generate tons of hand "advantage" with your Pot of Avarice and Salvage combos. Spirit Water Art - Aoi to boost your Gishildon to 3000 ATK while destroying the enemy's hand is fun.

Every turn, try to dish out a syncro(Junk Syncron, Deep Sea Diva, etc.) this assures your Gishilnodon at 3000 ATK for most of the game.

Treeborn Frog + Sea Archer. 2000 ATK level 3 Monster.

Level 7s come from Deep Sea Diva + Level 3 + Bolt Hedgehog. Or Junk Syncron + Revived Monster + Bolt Hedgehog. Instant feild nukes or Dark Dive Bombers.

Summon Deep Sea Diva. Effect bring out a 2nd Deep Sea Diva. Bolt HedgehogX3. Syncro Goyou and an Armory Arm. Equip and swing for big damage.

Topdeck Burial from D.D., S.Summon PSZ, Draw 1 with COSR. S.Summon 2 Bolt Hedgehogs, Draw 2 with COSR, Syncro for Goyou. Use Burial from DD, returning the 3 things. Topdeck 1 card and syncro Brionac. Bounce cards and normal summon Junk Syncron/Deep Sea Diva and somehow get your DDB. OTK.

Comments? Fixes?

Elysium Side Deck...

Hey, remember Elysium? Semi-Invicible to CCV and Oppression, playing around with Feilds?

Well, heres a Side deck Ive put together for it to play it in tournaments.

2 Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Dragon
1 Cyberdark Edge
1 Dark Salvo
1 Hunter Dragon

1 MST
2 Twister
3 Gear Town

3 Dust Tornado
1 Transmigration Prophecy.

So Apparently Core Chimair Gaurdian is a tin promo in the TCG...

The Yuusei DP tin has 2 sets of RGBT foils: One of which has Core Chimair Gaurdian.

That means that you can make this in the TCG already!

Red Demons Dragon / BUSTER

Red Demons Dragon / Buster:
Dark/Dragon/3500/2500/10*
This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except with "BUSTER mode". If this card attacks, destroy all other monsters after damage calculation. When this card on the field is destroyed, you can Special Summon 1 "Red Demons Dragon" from your Graveyard.

So. I had a requst to make a deck centered around this guy. I am very well aware that Stardust Dragon/Buster is much stronger, etc. However, if you want a decklist for a Stardust/Buster deck, this wouldnt be where you would come for it. So, today I will be introducing not ONE but TWO Red Demons Dragon / Buster decks.

Just some notes: With the new banlist, I noticed just how hard it was easily syncro, so it was quite a challenge. Here are the results of my quest to build a deck not Using Red Demons Dragon / Buster, but to FOCUS ON IT and it alone.

Deck 1:
Red Demons Dragon / Buster
レモン／バス

Total/40

Monsters:23
3 Red Demons Dragon / BUSTER
1 Destiny Hero - Dasher
1 Cyber Dragon
2 Vampire Lord
3 Buster Beast
1 Mezuki
2 Dark Grepher
2 Junk Syncron
3 Necro Gardna
2 Krebons
1 Plaugespreader Zombie
2 Mind Master

Spell:10
2 Allure of Darkness
1 Monster Reborn
1 Heavy Storm
1 Emergency Teleport
1 Brain Control
2 Mind Control
1 Reinforcement of the Army
1 Mystical Space Typhoon

Trap:7
2 Buster Mode
2 Ultimate Offering
1 Torrential Tribute
1 Crush Card Virus
1 Mirror Force

This deck focuses much more on Syncroing, with its large amount of tuners.
Mind Control is there for that.

Summon Junk Syncron, revive Mind Master, Syncro twice(3+4=7+1=8) for Red Demons Archfeind.
Dark Grepher can help with that Red Demons Buster in your hand. And Syncro Fodder.
Vampire Lord will revive itself when it gets destroyed by Red Demons Dragon / Buster.

Deck 2:
Red Demons Dragon / Buster - SummoPrei Ver.
レモン／バス　－サモプリver.

Total/42

Monsters: 27
3 Red Demons Dragon / BUSTER
2 Sacred Pheonix of Nephtys
1 Gorz, Emmisary of the Underworld
1 Cyber Dragon
3 Buster Beast
2 Mystic Tomato
2 Summon Preist
3 Rose, Warrior of Revenge, OR Frembel Magical(TCG or OCG.)
1 Sangan
3 Krebons
3 Hand of Nephtys
1 Treeborn Frog

Spell:12
2 Allure of Darkness
3 Pot of Avarice
1 Emergency Teleport
2 Cold Wave
1 Brain Control
1 Monster Reborn
1 Heavy Storm
1 Swords of Revealing Light

Trap:3
2 BUSTER Mode
1 Mirror Force(Or, for the lulz, Crimison Hell Flare. Even its art looks similar.)

This deck, in contrast, focuses much more on the lockdown and combo with Red Demons Archfeind and Sacred Phonics of Nephtys, clearing the feild of everything, save a 3500 Monster beatstick, every turn.
Additionally, this deck consists of primarily Dark and Fire monsters, kinda sorta with the image of Red Demons Dragon...
The primary Syncro Summon methods are:
Summon Summon Preist, pitch a spell, summon Frembel Magical / Rose, Warrior of Revenge, mix the Fire and Dark, and summon Red Demon's Archfeind.
Mystic Tomato recruits Sangan and Summon Preist.


Well, that concludes our Red Demons Dragon / Buster deck(s). Feel free to comment and ask about combos in these decks.

Going to the UK.

So heres the story: Im going to be going to the UK for college visits, to the places that have accepted me already, on March 15-30.

I was wondering if any of the UK readers can point me to a few card stores/places I can play random people, in case I have some extra time to waste. Just comment with name of place + location.

New deck in the making: Red Daemons Dragon/ buster

Ive decided on making the Red Daemons Dragon/Buster deck. That doesnt mean Ive forgotten everyone elses suggestions here. Ill work on this one first I guess.

Which is a bit of a challenge because most easy-syncroing has kinda gone down the drain with Undead Syncro biting the dust(no pun indended)

Ancient Forest.

Yeah, I know that this card isnt out yet, but its a fun card.

Ancient Forest
Field Magics
When this card is activated, all defence positions are turned to ATK position. Flip Effects do not happen at this time. If a monster attacks, it is destroyed at the end of the battle phase.

This works rather well with GBs, since you can choose to tag things out before theyre killed by Ancient Forest.

Too bad it destroys at the END of battle phase. Green baboon would have loved this card if it were not so.

Some questions:

If this card is activated during the battle phase(Demise of the Land), after some monsters have attacked already, are the monsters that have attacked already destroyed at the end of the battle phase?

Comments:
I might change Elysium to include this instead of Dark city, and replace the Diamond Guys with Transmigration Prophecy and a Cyberdark Horn/Keel/Edge
