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

I think they need to make tutors that also perform a Fusion Summon, or Monster Effects that actually perform a Fusion Summon. Something. They just abandoned the gameplay mechanic…

They abandoned it because it wasn’t that good from the start.

Like I said, the only way Fusions became relevant was by completely changing the rules. Polymerization sucked? Bring in Miracle Fusion. Want Glad Beasts to recycle in the deck? Give them Contact Fusion. Fusions were too specific for very little gain? Now the requirements are much more generic and are put on much better monsters.

Same thing happened with Rituals.

Still waiting for the day I see someone win a National with Back to the Wall

Also might start running Psychics again in competitive play for the hell of it till I finish my Blackwing and Fairy deck. Anyone know of any retailers still selling the Fairy Structure deck? Need three of those.

^^^try a walmart…the one around me still has the dragon structure of last year

Not sure what the extra SHOULD be, but i’ve got some gimmicks to pull off a quasar dragon if specific cards are in hand/graveyard, but my more reliable cards are probably still Junk Destroyer and Black Rose Dragon. I’ve got TG Lib/Formula Synchron, Junk Archer, Road Warrior, and some other random stuff in there. not sure what’s good / current with the xyz either.

Anyone know where to find the Six Samurai structure still here in Chicago?

I need me another Kizan and I ain’t shelling out 5 bucks for one. I also need the smoke signal and Shadow of the Six.

I thought I saw some in Target. They’re slow to get rid of older product. Elite Sportscards might have some too…call ahead…

I already tried Target but nothing. Ironically they had other older structure decks still… Machine Revolt is still there??

quick question. does depth amulet work with dark worlds? according to http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Card_Rulings:Depth_Amulet it does but i just wanna make doubly sure.

Yes it does.

Don’t use it though, Depth Amulet is bad.

what about dark smog? i currently have one of each in my deck but was thinkin of just taking amulet out for a second smog…

Also works, and doesn’t suck as much as Depth Amulet.

Don’t run more than 2 in the main. Would consider only 1 in the main and another in the side.

ok so instead of posting a buttload of questions i figured it’d be easier to just post the deck and get tips/critiques from yous guys sooooooo

Ooh wow okay, where to start…because there’s a lot I need to discuss.

First off do you WANT a Ceruli build? Or do you want optimal Dark Worlds? That will change things slightly.

Secondly, I don’t care what you’re running, get Dark Necrofear the hell out of there.

Next, Fabled Raven, not worth it. Get rid of it, replace with another Trance Archfiend if necessary.

Tour Guide, if you’re going to run it, you need to Max out, which at this point is 2.

Dark World Lightning is bad this format. Unless Ghostricks get big when Shadow Specters come out, it just simply won’t be a consistent discard outlet.

Creature Swap serves no purpose unless you run a Surplus of beaters.

Your trap for the most part are fine (though again, REALLY am pushing you only maining one)

There are other alterations to be made to your Monsters and Spells but that depends if you do want a Ceruli build.

i guess a ceruli build since i like that he gets u the second effect of dark worlds alot easier. whats the difference between a ceruli build and an optimal build?

An optimal build revolves around recurring Grapha as much as possible since many decks struggle to deal with a revivable 2700 or 3000 beater. On top of that, it also uses things like Dragged Down Into the Grave to control the opponent more. And it’s a lot more likely for the Viruses and Skill Drain to hit first turn and end an opponent.

While Ceruli builds are based completely around getting the Metallic Lords’ (Goldd/Sillva) second effect off as a Win Condition.

I ceruli snowwed all of my opponents beaters. it was too funny.

dammit they both sound good but i guess ill go with the ceruli build since Negative-Zero did make me remember snoww is beast

Snoww’s beast regardless but alright.

While you could use Dragged Down here, chances are the opponent won’t discard Ceruli for you, so we’ll need to go elsewhere for Discard Outlets.

Trance Archfiend will have to be bumped to 3 and you’ll have to remove Skill Drain.

Also, remove Morphing Jar. I forgot to mention it earlier. It’s not good this format either. Your opponent will know it’s Jar if you set it and will only ever set it off when they can plus out of it. Otherwise they’ll likely have a myriad of ways to get it off the field without triggering if need be. In other words, most of the time its effect goes off the opponent will benefit more than you.

Having the two Tour Guides in here will be even MORE necessary due to needing a way to get something to bounce for Grapha.

But I’ll be honest, I’m not the biggest fan of Ceruli builds. It’s fun and can go off well but it can get clunky in a hurry. But it’s the choice you decided so that’s my advice for the most part.

Morphing jar is better than you think.

Not many people have the leverage to pop on the first and second turn. To play with your opponents head, i always set him with 2 facedowns. Its a fake out to make it seem as though i am defending my self. It works well in desperate situations, and in the first couple of turns.
