Topic: The YGO Topic, take 2!

[Sakura Leic]

I like the one on the right.

[Protoman Blues]

Yeah that's my favorite one as well.

[Sakura Leic]

Yeah it has the most detail and still has the magic circle thingy that all dark magicians have.

[Rad Lionheart]

I never got a lot of promo cards until 2006, so I missed out on getting a lot of the cool stuff.
Then I started buying tins, but I couldn't find 2 out of the 6 in the set, so it's incomplete. :C

I should sell the tins too, they're covered in dust and I don't really use them, just look at them...as they're covered in dust.

[Protoman Blues]

Plus it's in a similar pose to the original Dark Magician card. 

Oh yeah, since I don't want to flood the whole thread, I'll just start out by posting one of my decks and one I've wanted to make for a long time.  My Deck Destruction Deck.

Total = 15 Cards

Grand Total = 48 Cards

As the title suggests, this deck is designed for really only one purpose, and that is to drain your deck of all it's cards.  That is the purpose of the Needle Worms, and they never go out onto the field unless I have a way to protect it from Nobleman of Crossout, for if that card hits one of the Needle Worms, my deck is pretty much gone.  That's what the Cursed Seal of the Forbidden Spell card is for.  Otherwise, this can be a extremely nasty deck, for it stops attacking monsters & magic as well.  It's weakness are trap cards, Nobleman of Crossout, and certain monsters which put cards from the graveyard back into the deck.  A good Zombie deck might give this deck trouble too.  Otherwise though, it has served me well against Lou.

[CephiYumi]

Here are the two I want.

and they are both adorable 

[Protoman Blues]

and they are both adorable  

Hee-hee, the Japanese ones have the correct art with the proper boobies size.

[borockman]

Dark Magician girl! 

Still as lovely as usual. 

[Protoman Blues]

PBPB would make a lovely Dark Magician Girl.  Heh, PB would make a kick ass Dark Magician.

[Dr. Wily II]

Then who's Magician's Valkyria? o:

[Sakura Leic]

Me I guess, I like spell casters.

[Rad Lionheart]

Damn English ones for having smaller tits.

[Protoman Blues]

Me I guess, I like spell casters.

You'd make a great Magician's Valkyria!

Okay so it's bigger than most and it has a hell of a lot of 'forbidden' cards but I don't play in tournaments anyway.  It maybe a bit much but at least there's always a back up plan here.  I just wish I had more spell casters but at least I have decent support cards.

[Rad Lionheart]

Personally, I like smaller decks.

[Protoman Blues]

Well unless you're running a Stall-type deck, like my deck destruction or Burn deck, smaller decks have a greater chance of winning.

As for your deck, young one, yeah it's a tad too big.  I love Spellcasters as well, but some of the cards don't fit well with the deck.  The Sonic Birds, for example, should go. If you like La Jinn, a good card to pick up would be Ancient Lamp (I think that's what it's called) for it's ability to summon La Jinn, plus it's awesome face down defense ability.  Cyber Harpie Lady isn't that great either for the deck, nor is Mirage Dragon.  Sorcerer of Dark Magic is good, but tricky to get out, so it's a gamble.  I'd try and get one more Skilled Dark Magician as well.

As for the Ritual Monsters, just take them out.  Ritual Cards are way too situational to work even in a ritual deck, so having them in the deck just hurts.

No real problems with your Magic Cards. I'd throw in Heavy Storm maybe, but with the super powerful magic cards you already have in their, I don't see it being a problem! 

Nothing really wrong with your traps either.  Maybe get some Bottomless Trap Holes, but otherwise no problems here.  With the Magic & Trap you might want to take a few out.  I'd try to get your deck down to at least 45 cards.

[CephiYumi]

I think the few times I played I mainly used tactics I saw in the s-show 

[Protoman Blues]

I think the few times I played I mainly used tactics I saw in the s-show 

Some of the show's tactics work.  Others definitely do not, due to them going against what the actual card does!

I still wish some of the cards in the show actually existed.  I really want that Dark Spear magic card that Yami used against Yugi in their final duel!

Yeah you may be right on that, besides usually I draw the ritual spell before I draw a Sonic Bird anyway.  Plus I have Maha Valio I mean just equiping Axe of Despair on him and he's 50 points more powerful than a Blue Eyes, so if my sorcerer goes down, because I can't bring him back unless I use Excahnge of the Spirit, he can still kick some ass.

[Rad Lionheart]

Well I don't plan on playing anymore, I want to sell my cards.

[Sakura Leic]

Well I got rid of Chain Burst so now my deck total is 46.

[Protoman Blues]

Maha Valio is a really great card in a boost deck.  I use to have a Boost Deck that centered around Gearfried the Iron Knight/Gearfried the Swordmaster.  With the Axe, plus the Nuzzlers, Maha is still a good card in your deck to have.

Well I got rid of Chain Burst so now my deck total is 46.

46? What else did you get rid of?

[Sakura Leic]

The other cards you mentioned, I got rid of Chain Burst since it can hurt me too.

[Protoman Blues]

Ahhhh okay. 46 isn't too bad.  If you can get those Ancient Lamps for La Jinn, it'd really help, as well as another Skilled Dark for the deck.  Also, a Magic Cards I'd also recommend is Dark Magic Curtain, which can Special Summon your Dark Magician from the Hand or Deck for half your life points.  It's a great late game card.

[Sakura Leic]

I don't think I really need an ancient Lamp because the La Jinns are basically for cannon fodder.
