Top 5 Best Yu-Gi-Oh Decks Part 2

Sunday, August 2nd, 2009

Here are the 3rd and 2nd best decks in all of Yu-Gi-Oh:

3. Starter Deck 2007- Neo Spacian Deck

This was a deck that I thought was very ordinary until I carefully examined each card that is listed in it. The Neo Spacian deck is one of the best help-side decks ever released. Not only do the effects of spells and traps help further utilize monster effects, it causes tremendous disruptions towards your opponent’s strategies. Though they’re old cards, traps like Sakurtesu Armor and spells like Smashing Ground really help destroy strong monsters that you want to get rid of as quickly as you can. The main focus of this deck is to strengthen Elemental Hero Neos in order to make it invincible. Most of the monsters in Starter Deck 2007 make that task much easier. The only thing I would change about this deck is to remove random monsters. Though the Neo Spacian deck is strong, some cards in there are not a good fit. For instance, Cyber Alligator, should not be in this deck because there are no strategies it can strengthen and it has nothing to do with Neo Spacian theme. Other than that, I think this deck is very strong. If you like your cards to work as a team, this is the deck for you.

2. The Rise of the Dragon Lords Structure Deck

yugioh-starter-deck-rise-of-the-dragon-lords Ahhh, Dragons, the most popular mythical creatures of all time. They are the strongest mythical creatures of all time too, so just imagine how strong their structure deck would be? The Rise of the Dragon Lords is arguably one of the, if not, the best structure deck of all time. The Rise of the Dragon Lord’s main strategy is remove their powerhouse monster, Felgrand Dragon, and bring it back to the field. That’s fairly easy when you have cards like The Shallow Grave and Call of the Haunted. Then Felgrand Dragon can gain attack points equal the level of a monster in your graveyard x 200! Dark Blaze Dragon also has a graveyard effect. When it comes back from the graveyard it’s attack and defense points are doubled! Plus, when it destroys a monster, your opponent loses life points equal to the destroyed monster! A combo like to pull when I use this deck is the Decoy Dragon combo. I get Dark Blaze Dragon to my graveyard somehow then I play Decoy Dragon. If it gets attacked I can special Dark Blaze Dragon back from the graveyard to wreak havoc! This is works with Felgrand Dragon as well. Rise of the Dragon Lords is the example of the perfect, balanced, deck. It doesn’t compromise offense for defense however it doesn’t fail to compromise defense for offense as well.

The next post will be the last to the Yugioh Deck series as the number one deck in Yu-Gi-Oh is revealed.

Aquiring New Yugioh Cards Through Trading and Other Methods

Sunday, April 12th, 2009

Like most duelists, my first deck was a starter deck. I was so excited to have that deck and I was ready to pummel my friends in duel. But sometimes I lost duels. This post will talk how one can improve their deck to be better than their previous one and I will be using common examples I found on the internet as well as my own dueling experiances.

When I was about 10, I entered a Regional Tournament. The night before I had bought a Raviel, The Lord of Phantasms tin deck and had stuffed my deck full of strong level 5-10 monsters. Yeah I had a few level 4 and 3 monsters and some weak spells and traps but I thought I was going to win with only strong monsters. I lost all four of my matches and was elimenated from the tournament. Now what I want to share with young duelists is to balance your deck. The cards I had in my deck only had high attack, nothing. Suupose I had threw in a Negate Attack and replaced some of my high level monsters with lower level monsters that had effects relating to my deck theme. I might have won some duels.

Another common mistake people make is that they only rely on specific type of cards. My friend who I always duel against only uses fiend monsters. He never accepts strong cards from me unless their fiends. Here is the good side about this type of play: You can make deadly combos, the bad side: You’re limiting yourself to a specific type of cards and if you lose duels your not looking to change your monsters or your combos.

Both of these examples show how key it is to trade and buy cards. Go trade with your friends, people you know who have cards you like, any duelist you meet! Trading exposes you to knew cards and teaches you new strategies you’d like to use in the future. My Weaken and Destroy deck has been undefeated since 2007. Why, because I have traded and traded and exposed myself to new ideas! That is my trading is so important in dueling.

I hope all of you have learned the good that can come out of getting new Yugioh cards. You can collect cards for a special deck or one can even acquire cards just to sell them! These are some cards I would recommend you should get through trading, buying, etc:
