Deckfix: Blood Monarch

I recently received a deckfix request for a rather interesting deck, and I wanted to share it with you.

The original deck can be found on Gambit's blog, Duelism.

It appears as follows:

Blood Monarch/Bloodarch (Gambit Style)

2 Destiny Hero Plasma/Ｄ・ＨＥＲＯ　Ｂｌｏｏ－Ｄ
1 Destiny Hero Dogma/Ｄ・ＨＥＲＯ　ドグマガイ
2 Destiny Hero Diamond Dude/Ｄ・ＨＥＲＯ　ダイアモンド・ガイ
2 Caius the Shadow Monarch/邪帝ガイウス
2 Raiza the Storm Monarch/風帝ライザー
1 Kuraz the Light Monarch/光帝クライス
3 Tongue Twister/タン・ツイスター
1 Cyber Dragon/サーバー・ドラゴン
1 Elemental Hero Stratos/Ｅ・ＨＥＲＯ　エアーマン
1 Blackwing - Gale the Hurricane/ＢＦ－疾風のゲイル
1 Treeborn Frog/黄泉ガエル
1 Dandylion/ダンディライオン
1 Mashmallon/マッシュマロン
1 Shiba Warrior Taro/柴戦士タロ
1 Spirit Reaper/魂を削る死霊
1 Sangan/クリッター
2 Krebons/クレボンス

3 Destiny Draw/デスティニードロー
1 Emergency Teleport/緊急テレポート
1 Trade In/トレード・イン
1 Pot of Avarice/貪欲な壺
1 Brain Control/洗脳ーブレインコントロールー
1 Heavy Storm/大嵐
1 Mystical Space Typhoon/サイクロン

3 Reckless Greed/無用な欲ぼり
2 Ultimate Offering/血の代償
1 Torrential Tribute/激流葬
1 Mirror Force/聖なるバリアーミラーフォースー

The premise of this deck is the ridiculous number of draw 2 cards.

For starters, Destiny draw and reckless greed together with a Trade in for good effect has proven in the past to work quite well.

Gambit has taken the extra step and packed Tounge Twisters along with Ultimate offering, a powerful draw engine available to almost uniquely to Ultimate Offering Monarch decks.

Another interesting tech is the single Kuraz, allowing you to get even more draws off of cards such as Reckless Greed.
Additionally, the Ultimate Offering allows for you to retrieve the one drawback of Kuraz, that it eats your normal summon.

Now, for deckfixes.

First off, I have no idea why you didnt add Allure of Darkness, considering how many DARKs you are running, so +2 Allure off the bat.

Trade in is a powerful card, yes, but in ones, even with 3 targets, it is a bit weak and hard to use. I would suggest adding one more Trade In.
+1 Trade In

To balance this out, one more level 8 must be added, so another Plasma is added, for good effect.
On top of this, it contributes to the deck's namesake, Blood Monarch.
+1 Destiny Hero Plasma

With your increased draw power, digging into that Ultimate Offering is easier. This allows for more monsters to be fielded and used, so why not add another Pot of Avarice? It also helps for your Destiny Draw + Trade In super draws.
+1 Pot of Avarice

Now, another integral part of using Destiny Draw with Monarchs is the Stratos into Malicious, then D-Draw'ing off the Malicious, for free monarch fodder later in the game.
+2 D-Hero Malicious.

Totaling
+2 Destiny Hero Malicious, +1 Pot of Avarice, +1 Destiny Hero Plasma, +1 Trade In, and +2 Allure of Darkness.

Undoubtedly, this gives you much more draw power. Your deck now is packing SIXTEEN draw 2 Cards, more than most people have in ALL their decks combined.

Unfortunately, these increased aspects of the deck calls for cards to be cut.

With the increased number of D-Heroes for Destiny Draw, losing one Diamond dude is now a viable move.

MST is cut because this deck allows access to almost all your cards all the time, so simple stalling or removal can be in the form of Brionac and Stardust Dragon easier.

Along with the increased draw power, you have easier access to Ultimate Offering, the powerhouse card of this deck. However, this also means you lose the ability to use Treeborn Frog quite as often. Thus, Treeborn Frog will be cut.

Gale, while a powerful card, is great for killing monsters, but is only valid once. The drawback of Gale in the new deck is that you pull out strong moves in momentum in one turn alone, perhaps your opponents turn, so the one time valid mini tide turner that is Gale is not quite as good.
A hard cut, yes, but necessary.

Shiba Warrior Taro, a third onwards indestructible by battle monster after Mashmallon and Spirit Reaper, will be cut because you dont have to stall quite as much anymore.

The last two cuts are extremely difficult.
Cyber Dragon, because you can lay down monsters every turn, meaning you dont usually have nothing on the field, and Torrential Tribute, because of your massive moves, and the fact that IMO, Mirror Force is slightly better.

It will end up something like this:

Bloodarch (Rauzes Fix)

3 Destiny Hero Plasma/Ｄ・ＨＥＲＯ　Ｂｌｏｏ－Ｄ
1 Destiny Hero Dogma/Ｄ・ＨＥＲＯ　ドグマガイ
2 Destiny Hero Malicious/Ｄ・ＨＥＲＯ　ディアボリック・ガイ
1 Destiny Hero Diamond Dude/Ｄ・ＨＥＲＯ　ダイアモンド・ガイ
2 Caius the Shadow Monarch/邪帝ガイウス
2 Raiza the Storm Monarch/風帝ライザー
1 Kuraz the Light Monarch/光帝クライス
3 Tongue Twister/タン・ツイスター
1 Elemental Hero Stratos/Ｅ・ＨＥＲＯ　エアーマン
1 Dandylion/ダンディライオン
1 Mashmallon/マッシュマロン
1 Spirit Reaper/魂を削る死霊
1 Sangan/クリッター
2 Krebons/クレボンス

3 Destiny Draw/デスティニードロー
2 Allure of Darkness/闇の誘惑
1 Emergency Teleport/緊急テレポート
2 Trade In/トレード・イン
2 Pot of Avarice/貪欲な壺
1 Brain Control/洗脳ーブレインコントロールー
1 Heavy Storm/大嵐

3 Reckless Greed/無用な欲ぼり
2 Ultimate Offering/血の代償
1 Mirror Force/聖なるバリアーミラーフォースー

This concludes today's deckfix writeup. Enjoy your new deck, Gambit. Super Draw LiDa on steroids, only without the LiDa part.

Deckfix: Neos Beat

Hello everyone
皆の衆ごきげんよう

A few days ago, I recieved an Email requesting for me to fix a deck.

The request was from a budget player, TYKS92, from Malaysia.

His deck was Neos

Welcome to the first ever Deckfix!

So, Todays Key card is:

Elemental Hero Neos!

The decklist that TYKS92 sent is as follows:

3 Elemental Hero Neos/Ｅ・ＨＥＲＯ　ネオス
2 Elemental Hero Neos Alius /Ｅ・ＨＥＲＯ　アナザー・ネオス
1 Marshmallon/マッシュマロン
3 Neo Spacian Black Panther/Ｎ ブラックパンサー
1 Neo Spacian Aqua Dolphin/Ｎ アクアドルフィン
3 Neo Spacian Air Hummingbird /Ｎ　エアー・ハミングバード
1 Neo Spacian Grand Mole/Ｎ　グラン・モール
1 Neo Spacian Flare Scarab/Ｎ　フレア・スカラブ
1 Neo Spacian Glow Moss/Ｎ　グロー・モス
1 Sangan/クリッター
1 Necro Gardna/ネクロガードナー

1 Monster Reborn/死者蘇生
2 Convert Contact /コンバート・コンタクト
2 O-Oversoul/Ｏ－オーバーソウル
1 Nightmare Steelcage/悪夢の鉄折
2 E-Emergency Call/Ｅ－エマージェンシーコール
1 Heavy Storm/大嵐
1 Fake Hero/フェイク・ヒーロー
1 Common Soul/魂の共有　コモン・ソウル
1 NeoSpace/ネオスペース
2 Instant NeoSpace/ インスタント・ネオスペース
1 Mystical Space Typhoon/サイクロン

1 Torrential Tribute/激流葬
1 Half Or End/ハーフ・オア・ストップ
1 Royal Decree/王宮のお触れ
2 A Hero Emerges/ヒーロー見参
1 Enchanted Javelin/ホーリージャベリン


Now, since your focusing on Neos, and seem to have a lot of filler, lets cut down on some of the not needed cards.

-1 Enchanted Javelin/ホーリージャベリン
-1 Royal Decree/王宮のお触れ
-1 Half Or End/ハーフ・オア・ストップ
-1 Nightmare Steelcage/悪夢の鉄折
-1 Necro Gardna/ネクロガードナー

The rest of your cards will try to help you field Neos and a Neospacian, to contact fuse.

That being said, there is a lot of cards devoted to this, and an excessive amount of Neospacians.

The special summoning of Neospacians in this deck appears also to be a central point.

Since all the Neospacians are less than level 4, there isnt reallly a need for this, as much there is a need for summoning Neos.

Another point to consider is the large amount of Elemental Hero attackers you want to be using.

Neos and Neos Alius are both Light, and are treated as normal monsters.

However, the amount of support for this is lacking.

O-Oversoul/Ｏ－オーバーソウル should be maxed out, as well as some other summoning options for the normal monsters, namely Birthright.

Easy ways to put Neos into the graveyard are also needed. Since the player is a budget player, Prismas are out of the question.

Helping with Contact Fusions, as well as sending Neos to the graveyard, Hero Mask works similarly. Thus, they were added.

3 Honests, as they are cheap now, should also be added.

Another thing is Neospace itself. As to increase combat potential of Neos, more copies were added.

With added synergy, and focusing much more on the beatdown option the deck has, I present to you the finished product.

Completely random, but today, my school's light music club 2 had their first live concert.
突然ですが、今日は我が校の軽音楽部２の初ライブでした

They performed "Footsteps of time" and "Betlegeuse" by Kobukuro.
コブクロの時の足音とベテルギウスを演奏した

They downright sucked. The other light music club is much better.
へたくそだった...もう一つの軽音楽部の方がずっとまし

Thats all for today
今日はここまで

Until next time, RIDING DUEL, ACCELERATION!!
また次回まで,ライディング・デュエル。アクセラレーション！！
