3 Don Zaloog
3 Cliff the Trap Remover
3 Dark Scorpion - Gorg the Strong
3 Dark Scorpion - Meanae the Thorn
3 Dark Scorpion - Chick the Yellow
3 Dark Scorpion Burglars
2 Mystic Tomato

1 United We Stand
2 Reinforcement of the Army

2 Ballista of Rampart Smashing
1 Pot of Avarice

3 Curse of Aging
2 Jar of Greed

So basically a Dark Scorpion deck. Cards in this deck can be sorted into five groups. A Dark Scorpion, a search card, a power-up card, a deck destruction card or something else. Pretty new.

R/F please.

Can you say RotA is needed. ;;; MT = always needed in a dark deck. Btw, staples are pieces of metal , not cards. -_-; (j/k)

Mystic Tomato added.....I'll remove my Sangan so save me some time deciding what to add for it when it gets banned and I'll also remove 1 copy of Mustering of the Dark Scorpions.

Thanks!

Keep sangan, you have another 6 months to wait for the next ban list. -_-; RotA = Reinforcement of the Army. Add two. MT, add two as well. Drop Mustering down to one, you'll hardly use it anyways. :/ Or just kill it off completely, but that is just IMO. Now, go rate my deck. XD *kicks ~DM~* You go rate my deck too!

 

[~Sirnight~]

You know, a Dark Scorpion Combination Wouldn't be bad...

Sorry about forgetting RotA... I was going to include that in my post.

ANd to Bart-Kun... try re-adjusting your monster ratio as three of each is not necessary.

Not a bad deck, and I agree that Reinforcement of the Army is a good card for this deck. But you also need more equip cards if you want to face off against stronger monsters. So I would suggest, Fusion Sword Murasame Blade for this deck.

 

[Raito]

Equips aren't ever necessary unless there name is either Premature Burial or Snatch Steal.

Use Messenger of Peace. It'll let all atk but Gorg, and you can destroy it when you want to.

Call me Bart. And about the monster ratio thing, sorry about that. It's just that I'm used to Duel Masters (I'm better at that game), and in DM we never, EVER use 1 copy of a card. 2 if it's just a minor splash, but never 1.

You know, a Dark Scorpion Combination Wouldn't be bad...

That's what I thought too when I started drafting this deck....but since it reduces the Battle Damage to 400 each monster why add it? One blow from my Gorg and my Meanae does more battle damage than Zaloog, Cliff, Chick, Gorg and Meanae put together when using Dark Scorpion Combination.

OK I dropped all my Musterings, replacing them with Reinfocement of the Army. I don't know what to remove for Sangan though.

Sorry I'm not really a big fan of Equips. They only raise the ATK by a few hundred points, so what's the point if I have a better alternative, United We Stand.

Use Messenger of Peace. It'll let all atk but Gorg, and you can destroy it when you want to.

How could I forget Messenger of Peace?? I used to have that card and since I newly came back from YGO I totally forgot about it. I won't add it in just yet, since I'm having a hard time deciding what to remove for it: either Smashing Ground or Ballista of Rampart Smashing.

Thanks for the comments, guys.

......

The theme of this deck is Dark Scorpion. I appreciate you trying to help, but most of the cards you suggested aren't really helpful in the Dark Scorpion strategy, which is to help with the deck destruction, and to power-up my already-weak Dark Scorpions. I did see some useful cards suggeste while ooking these cards up, but (no offense) I think all you gave me was a decklist of what everyone is using right now. Sorry if I sound like a n00b, but in my personal opinion, a good deck needs to have cards that support the main theme, not just adding in cards that everyone's using because, well, everyone's using it.

I'm sorry, it's just that I'm used to DM, and I'm not really used to single copies of cards and cards that don't really support the theme but rather to counter other decks. So don't worry Orochi, your help won't go to wate, I'll build a side deck around the cards you suggested.

In the meantime, I'll remove 1 Energy Drain for 1 Ceasefire, 1 Smashing Ground for 1 Pot of Avarice and 1 Jar of Greed for 1 Sakuretsu Armor, just so I wouldn't have to decide the cards to side deck.

 

[The Requiem]

Dark Scorpions disrupt field and hand, not destroy the deck...

They're TERRIBLE at milling...

 

[Bart-kun]

I don't even know what milling is, so what is it?

And some Dark Scorpions do discard cards from the deck. Gorg, Burglars, Cliff and Zaloog all discard cards from the top of the opponent's deck.

I don't even think you can make a good mill with them. XD

Milling = deck destruction. >> For lack of a better term, that is. Orochi suggested the best build for this deck, take it or leave it.

 

[The Requiem]

Gorg, Cliff, and Zaloog's other effects are also better than the mill effect.

Dark Scoprion Burglars is a joke.

Wouldn't three needle worms + T-yomi be better. I've never had to use Don's second effect...EVER! ; Plus, they banned that awesome mill from last format. -_-;

 

[The Requiem]

After thinking it over, Gorg is a joke too.

And Menae cant snag Donny Z.

hmm..


From my fix:
-Gorg
-Don
