The New Yu-Gi-Oh Thread: Construct Joins Stratos in the Halfway House

6 Qliphorts, 2 BA. But in the end, BA won the YCS.

Damn Nekroz is huge with the cheapness. Can summon shit all day.

The continuous stream of summons isn’t what makes them cheap. There are plenty of decks that can do that.

Well whatever it is that makes the deck seem broken must be very advantageous. I went to an event the other day and more than half the people there were using that deck.

Its the lockdown. Once Broniac hits the GY good luck lol

Actually the main thing is the fact that it’s the ultimate toolbox deck. They can pull literally any part of their deck out at any time to fit a given situation and lose very little in card advantage and can ultimately gain card advantage from it.

You need removal? You have Trish.
You need an Honest? Go search out Decisive Armor.
Bummed out by the opponent’s Special Summoning? Break out that Djinn Lock.
Worried that you might be OTK’d? Take Valkyrus.
Need to protect your monsters? Grab Trish and Gungnir.
Extra Deck monsters getting you down? Meet Unicore and Brionac.

And you can do that turn after turn. Of course Nekroz doesn’t come without its own issues. For one, they’re susceptible to Battle Traps. Mirror Force in particular can ruin days. And two, they’re vulnerable to a high amount of Floodgates (though two have just been limited).

But those two issues are vastly outweighed by everything else the deck does mainly because Nekroz very rarely brick. They are the perfect tournament deck in that respect.

And neckroz is the first deck since full powered dragon rulers where the side deck doesn’t even hurt them. Its a matter of trying to plus of their plusses. Needless to say the deck is too consistent even with one preperation of rites.

The only cards that are effective against them are shared ride and mind crush and mirror force.

That’s…not true in the least. The PROBLEM is that you have to open with a Side Deck card, if not two. Any turn past that and it’s likely already too late.

But it’s a completely incorrect statement to say that the Side Deck doesn’t hurt them. It actually does, a lot. You just have very little time to get to said cards.

I’ve beaten nekoroz on ygo with geargias before. maybe the players on ygo are bad? i can’t see the gpd tier in them

And I’ve beaten them with multiple decks before.

Beating a deck once or twice doesn’t prove much of anything. They’re a consistently strong deck with very few (if any) legitimate bad matchups. And any bad matchups they would have get phased out over the course of a long tournament which is why they’re as saturated as they are right now.

In a long tournament you go with what will consistently maintain their strategy and win. 6 Rounds. 9 Rounds. 11 Rounds. That’s a lot of games to brick and trip up but Nekroz never really has to worry about that. And even during the times where the opponent would get lucky and hit the shit they need Nekroz will have prepared contingency plans.

I’m trying to make a new Hero Deck but I need some idea on how to make it…

I’m thinking of making the deck a Polymerization-focused deck, but a Mask Change focused deck can also be pretty good.

Well it depends if you want fun or competitiveness.

I guess competitive.

I can’t ever see myself playing stuff like Nekroz and that Pendulum card heavy deck (starts with a Q).

I really want to make a Red-Eyes Deck with the new support, but too bad YGOPro doesn’t have all the new support… Namely, Black Metal Dragon, Card of Red Jewel, and Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon (the XYZ red-eyes)

Well if you want competitive then it’s Masked all the way. Get on Dark Law and protect and sit on him.

I’ve beaten neckroz with dark world many of times on DN. Since I’ve main dragged downs, mind crushes and skill drains

Hmm…maybe it actually wouldn’t be such a bad idea to bring back the ole’ Dark Worlds. Other than Drain going to 1 (and I guess Tour Guide to 1) which bites it would offer a lot of advantages.

The key would be avoiding Trishula.

And Qliphorts took a solid hit which takes away some of the redundancy of playing Dark Worlds.

It has been a LONG time since I touched them but they were one of my original main decks. Maybe it’s time to go back home.

Dark smog works too

Dark Smog is the funniest card in the game.

ā€œI want to summon this from the graveyard.ā€

*Dark Smog

ā€œBanish that shitā€

That thing crushes dreams. AND Dark worlds effects work with it.

Apparently my deck actually has a way to lockdown a Nekroz deck. I just have to get lucky and draw Dark Simorgh and Anti-Spell Fragrance my first turn.

That shouldn’t be too much of a problem if you have draw power
