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

Wow you really are out of the loop. Of those, only Cowboy is ā€œstapleā€ (though Utopia would get back on the list whenever Utopia the Lightning comes stateside). For Magicians, good Rank 4s and Rank 7s along with the ED cards you get in the structure. Castel, 101, Abyss Dweller (for this format), Gagaga Samurai, Dracossack, Big Eye. Things like those.

Alright, so…
All ED cards in the structure deck
x1 gagaga cowboy
x1 gagaga samurai
x1 diamond dire wolf
x1 abyss dweller
x1 big eye
x1 dracosack
x1 ignister

seems lefit?

Well unless you get Lusters you can’t make Ignister. And you REALLY need Castels and they’re only 4 dollars, come on.

Other than that, yeah, not bad.

Shame that Gravekeepers aren’t any good that was my favorite archetype.

Got my 3 copies of the structure deck. I’m pretty happy. Now to actually build a deck out of it

It won’t be too tough. Just remember that Wisdomeye Magician is basically your best card and pick up Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon when you can.

I’m ordering one right now. And I’m ordering odd eyes saber, odd eyes rebellion and dark xyz

You don’t need Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon at all unless you just want to build your collection.

I’m thinking that saber may become useful. Any more odd eyes cards I’d need?

I’m telling you, Saber is REALLY unneeded. And besides the one you mentioned, none that I can think of.

Well I picked up the megatin. Got cast and xyz

There you go, some good value there.

@Saitsu All knowledgeable of Yugioh what are some sleeper decks and cards that I can play? Price limit for deck staples(archetype specific) should be 10 or less apiece. It can be a little over.

I have a monarch shell built but it’s a bit aite against anything but cosmos which it can beat. But it’s wack imo. And ygo cancer.

Also how do the scraps for Nekroz work together? I want to play it so bad because it was unaffordable in its prime.

Well I can honestly tell you it won’t matter what sleeper deck you play by January. If you can live with that there’s some potential down the line. Monarchs are getting that nasty structure, and DDDs will follow. Harpies actually have a favorable format and is pretty cheap outside of Lightning Chidori which you don’t actually need all too much.

If you want something that can win right now that won’t cost an arm and a leg, I’d say Harpies is the way to go.

As for Nekroz…lol, that’s a good question. In this case, I’ll direct you to this.

He’s pretty much the only one I’ve seen put actual work into trying to reconstruct Nekroz after the nuke.

EDIT: Also Deskbots could be a contender as well.

So, I ended up not buying the tin right then and there, had to pay my phone bill man. Sucks working partime.

Well it’s not like you need it immediately.

So I noticed I have a severe lack of hand traps. No veilers, no maxx C etc. So I have a dilemma, I can either buy all 3 of my Luster Pens and I’ll be done buying shit until BOSH. Or I can buy like 1 luster pen and 3 maxx ā€œCā€ and my 3 veilers. I assume that Luster Pen will get hit in the next ban list sooner or later, but the price of it may jump even higher soon. However I do know that veiler and maxx C are staples for just about any deck you can think of. I also need to grab some sideboard stuff like Imperial Iron Wall, Denko, and maybe some odd tech cards.

Also, do I really need 3 Apex Avians and Odd-eyes fusion to make the deck work? Saitsu I didn’t heed your warning way back in July and grabbed the avians when they were cheap T_T. I’m also going to trade my odd-eyes rebellion for another ignister.

The problem with trying to get rid of crap before a banlist now is…we have no earthly clue when Konami will actually decide to unveil it. If you want to get rid of Luster Pens you’d have to do it basically right when BOSH drops but you’d basically be committing to Konami hitting it and if they don’t you’re extremely screwed.

You are right though in that Veiler and Maxx C will see regular play. If you’re that worried about Luster then yeah, the Hand Traps are the better option.

And no you don’t need the Avians and you certainly don’t actually need Odd-Eyes Fusion. You can run different variants of the deck, and you can actually get out your Extra Deck Odd-Eyes thanks to Absolute Dragon (though it’s admittedly tricky…but hey, OCG BA does it all the time with Beatrice).

Well in all honesty, is the risk worth it? Because I do want to actually build pepe, me and my friend are going in on a case of BOSH because of it. So I can grab my luster pens now, or vector pens but yeah, I’d be making a huge gamble, and even then I’d have to commit to actually selling my cards and trading them.

If you really want to build Pepe then I personally wouldn’t do it. And truth be told I doubt they’ll outright ban Luster so if they do hit it, you should be able to get rid of the extras at least. I’d actually be more worried about a random reprint somewhere.
