[YGO] Strange Control-y Deck

[Nace]

Just a deck I've been toying with. So far I've only tested it against "Copycat" using the some of the SJC top 8 decks in WCT06, which is like dueling the SJC winners if they had no idea how to use their decks, so I'm pretty well prepared for the TCG meta xD

The Creator is working suspiciously well... >.> <.< >.>

Monsters:

[1] The Creator
[1] Mobius the Frost Monarch
[1] Airknight Parshath
[2] Cyber Dragon

[1] Sangan
[1] Treeborn Frog
[1] Exiled Force
[1] D.D. Warrior Lady
[1] Breaker the Magical Warrior
[1] Injection Fairy Lily
[1] Magician of Faith
[1] Blockman
[1] Mystic Swordsman Lv2
[1] D.D. Survivor
[1] The Creator Incarnate
[1] Medusa Worm
[2] Giant Rat

Spells:

[1] Graceful Charity
[1] Heavy Storm
[1] Swords of Revealing Light
[1] Last Will
[1] Snatch Steal
[1] Premature Burial
[1] Mystical Space Typhoon
[1] Book of Moon
[1] Reinforcement of the Army
[2] Nobleman of Crossout
[2] Nobleman of Extermination
[1] Brain Control
[1] Smashing Ground
[1] Fissure
[1] Messenger of Peace

Traps:

[1] Call of the Haunted
[3] Royal Decree

I hate d.d. survivor being in there, but every time I take it out I end up in situations in which I would have won if it were in my deck >.<

Any suggestions?

I'm not even gonna bother rating or trying to fix this. SJC means nothing at all. The people who attend it have no skill or creativity. It's an event for a bunch of morons who want to make a quick buck and expect to gain a reputation for using CC.

I don't care if any SJC competitor speaks to me, I don't have any respect for them at all.

I believe this deck is pretty much the top 8/16 at SJC correct? Give or take a few cards such as Creator. I must admitt, it's the first time I've seen Creator in a while. It's usually just Frosty & Cyber. Since you're a TCGer and using pretty much a CC, this is the edit I shall give:

-1 Blockman
+1 Sandmoth

It's being whored at the moment thanks to some ass who won something using it in there deck. So everybody is starting to whore it up.

Bleh, see Baron's latest article if you wanna know why I don't wanna fix it.

I'm surprised you're not using Goldd, people are decking that for no reason other then the opponant may have a Spirit Reaper lolz~

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't be so quick to judge. The SJC comment was mostly relating to the fact that our meta here is just people copying the SJC decks without any idea what they're doing with them. It was also a comment on the AI of the game and to a lesser extent the irony of "Copycat" in the game using the SJC decks just like your average TCGer. Sorry if it was a little to subtle for you

Ugh, sand moth. Don't get me started on the "teching" of sand moth and goldd. I do have some brain matter left. The majority of what I was trying to do with the deck is counter CC. That's why I'm using Airknight, IFL, Nobleman of Extermination and Decree. I'll admit a lot of the cards are similar to the usual CC, but keep in mind a lot the cards used in CC unfortunately also counter CC really well. Mobius, for instance, pummels the standard TCG trap lineup better than pretty much anything else and has great synergy with treeborn, blockman and reaper.

Bleh, see Baron's latest article if you wanna know why I don't wanna fix it.

I have indeed read Baron's article and I agree with it. You'll find the only things in my deck that Baron disagrees with would be the cybers + reapers (and to a lesser extent, goats) and the treeborn + decree. Most likely the D.D. Survivor as well, but even I hate that being there. I'm planning to change those, I just need some suggestions, which is where you come in.

Please, give me some credit.

Lolz sorry~ I just hate CC decks and the current TCG meta. Every tournament has the exact same line up of decks. It's just so dull and boring. Atleast in the OCG we have other decks that are in tournaments (Dark Realm, etc) ;/

Sandmoth blows, but people are running it because of one dumbass who thought "I know! I'll use it because my oponant will have a Mystic Swordsman Lv2!". Running a freakin' card because there's ONE card in your oponnants deck that will trigger it! Oh lordy what a fucking pointless waste! lolz~

I could understand with Goldd when people ran 3 Reapers and 2 Don's, because the probablity was a lot higher, but now... it's such a waste~

Well anyway, from looking at the TCG meta, and scanning over your deck, the first thing that comes to mind would be Chaos Sorcerer. You have the bait for it, you haven't decked Avarice, it's a cheap special summon, and if there's anything on the field that's posing a threat or out powers it, it can just be removed. If need be you can rid the game of your opponants Frog aswell~

I personally wouldn't use the Creator unless it's in it's own deck. You don't really have anything stong that it can bring back. Cyber Dragon, Mobius & Airknight are all basic monsters to be honest. Airknight is too weak to take down anything major, as is Cyber Dragon. I suppose reuse of Exiled Force isn't that bad but still...

I know how you feel. It's so very, very stale =/

Easy to take advantage of, though, with everyone running pretty much the same cards

In their defense there's also torrential tribute and zaborg the thunder monarch, but yeah sandmoth does indeed blow =/

On the topic of Goldd, people seem to think it's godly with graceful. I'd say that'd be the main reason it's there. Again, it sucks. The people running night assailant have the right idea discard-wise, since it has a reliable effect.

That's a good point, I'll try it out over scapegoat (damned thing always clogs my field).

I didn't think it'd work either but I dunno, somehow it does. Airknight's actually been really useful with all the reaper and treeborn abuse ^^

Thanks muchly for the input.

I have to agree with pretty much EVERYTHING that Alucard has pointed out.

I went to my first LOCAL tournament in my neighborhood yesterday and EVERYONE I saw there were running some form of CC there. I believe other than me, two others had a different deck that they ran (one of who I dueled and lost to in the first round). Ironically, the guy I lost to ran a Dark World deck (lol, I felt some pride when I lost to him cause he had the type of deck I'm trying to create). Also, this same guy ran an Insect deck that I saw him play (which was actually pretty good). The other guy who played a deck different from CC ran a Gravekeepers one (another deck which I found to be a nice surprise).

So yeah, the TCG meta is going down pretty fast in my eyes (which REALLY REALLY sucks).

Macrocosmo has slowed the Dark Realm decks down slightly. I assume it'll be the final nail in the coffin for Dark Realm once released in TCG. I've being over-hyped to death at the moment by some OCGers (novices as I like to call them). They think it should be restricted lolz~

Insect decks are pretty powerful, it's just that nobody chooses to run them. I'm not exactly sure why either. They have pretty much everything.

Saber Beetle is a great trampler.
Devildozer is a fantastic card, works well when it's top decked late game.
Leaping Grasshopper to summon pretty much anything.
Beatdown monsters in the form of Chainsaw Insect and Landmine Spider.
LP gain with Skull-Faced Ladybug.
Swarm Of Scarabs & Man-Eater Bug for monster destruction.
Soldiers of Inago for M/T destruction.
Ultimate Insects for stat change.
