A Dark Valley/Dark World combination

[Jake]

NEW LIST BELOW

Necro means dark, right? Right?...oh well...

Something a fellow player thought of. Why not combine the attacking power and advantages of a GK deck with the discarding advantages of the Dark World monsters? It still needs tweaking. Here it is:

Monsters:
Gravekeeper's Chief
Gravekeeper's Assailant x2
Gravekeeper's Spear Soldier x2
Gravekeeper's Spy x3
Exiled Force
Cyber Jar
Brron, Mad King of Dark World x2
Broww, Huntsman of Dark World
Sillva, Warlord of Dark World
Goldd, Wu-Lord of Dark World x2

Spells:
Terraforming
Necrovalley x3
Dark World Lightning x3
Heavy Storm
Mystical Space Typhoon
Smashing Ground 2x
Nobleman of Crossout
Dark Hole
Gateway to Dark World x2 (just in case I have no Necrovalley on the field)
Royal Tribute x2 (d'oh! how could I forget those?)
Card Destruction

Traps:
Rite of Spirit x2
Dark Deal x2
The Forces of Darkness (ditto as gateway...)
Bottomless Trap Hole
Torrential Tribute

Fixes, anyone?

 

[Duelist 316]

Royal Tribute? Please?

And your deck's total is only 38.

 

[John Danker]

ACCKK! What? No Royal Tribute?
Royal Tribute I'd think would be the MAIN reason you'd want to run a combo Gravekeeper's with Dark World monsters!

 

[Dillie-O]

Tasty indeed! Have you thought about changing the ratio slightly to get an extra Sillva or Goldd in the mix? Those are definitely the power houses of the Dark Worlders. I'm thinking -1 Broww and +1 Goldd would be quite tasty.

 

[Jake]

Heh, I knew I forgot something. ^_^;

Added and fixed. Anything else?

 

[John Danker]

Yes, there is something else....Card Destruction.
It will help with your Dark World monsters and as well if you don't have Necrovalley in your hand you can draw a new one. You don't really mind if your Gravekeepers go to the graveyard either as you can special summon them with Rite of Spirit.

 

[Jake]

I must've been having a blonde moment when typing that decklist...-_-;

Added in, to make it 41.

 

[John Danker]

<tapping my chin> Something you might want to try...just try...I haven't yet....is instead of Terraforming a Mystic Plasma Zone. Let me know if you do and how it works out. IF I was playing purely Dark World monsters I'd have two copies of Mystic Plasma Zone in my deck giving them the extra punch some of the lower attackers need. It might very well work out in this deck as well.

*EDIT* On second thought...that's going to bring the def. of your Gravekeeper's Spy down too far....nevermind!

 

[Jake]

No no, thanks for the idea. If I run it purely for Dark World, Mystic Plasma Zone would come in handy. Gives me some ideas for a side-deck, too. GK/DW maindecked and swap it for purely DW when the situation calls for it.

 

[John Danker]

Oh <suddenly rembering> When I used to play a Gravekeeper's deck with Royal Tribute I also played a Guardian Sphinx. That monster came in REAL handy with Royal Tribute. You don't always get Royal Tribute the first hand or the first couple of draws after that obviously. Guardian Sphinx gives you the chance to make up for that and clear the field AND their hand of monsters when combined with Royal Tribute.

 

[Jake]

So true...I might play it, but that means dropping one out I think (and finding somebody willing to trade away his/her Sphinx). Is 5 Tributes too much?

 

[John Danker]

In THIS deck I don't believe 5 tribute monstes is too many considering you'll probably be special summoning 3 of the 5. As well I don't think adding a 17th monster and bringing your deck total to 41 will hurt you at all.

 

[Jake]

The incarnation I got from posting and editing here was...insufficient, to say the least. I really had to twist this around somehow.

So, after tweaking it came to this body:

Monsters:
Gravekeeper's Chief
Gravekeeper's Assailant x2
Gravekeeper's Spear Soldier x2
Gravekeeper's Spy x3
Morphing Jar
Sangan
Mystic Swordsman LV2
Brron, Mad King of Dark World x2
Broww, Huntsman of Dark World x2
Sillva, Warlord of Dark World x2
Goldd, Wu-Lord of Dark World x2
Scarr, Scout of Dark World

Spells:
Terraforming
Necrovalley x3
Dark World Lightning x2
Heavy Storm
Mystical Space Typhoon
Smashing Ground 2x
Nobleman of Crossout
Dark Hole
Gateway to Dark World
Royal Tribute x2
Card Destruction
Snatch Steal
Swords of Revealing Light

Traps:
Rite of Spirit x2
Dark Deal
Sakuretsu Armor x2
Bottomless Trap Hole
Torrential Tribute

Side deck:
Cyber Jar
Magician of Faith
Breaker the Magical Warrior
Scarr, Scout of Dark World
Dekoichi the Battlechanted Locomotive
Book of Moon
Scapegoat
The Forces of Darkness x2
Call of the Haunted
Gateway to Dark World
Premature Burial
Broww, Huntsman of Dark World
Beiige, Vanguard of Dark World x2

It won 3 of 5 matches tonight, somehow it can't deal with a swarming deck itself. Any other hints?

 

[John Danker]

-1 Mystic Swordsman LV2
+1 Tsukuyomi

You have Spear Soldier and Nobleman of Crossout to punish your opponent for putting monsters face down. In my eyes you don't really need Mystic Swordsman LV2...or better put I think you can make better use of the space.

Tsukuyomi+ Gravekeeper's Spy give YOU swarming ability
Tsukuyomi + Morphing Jar can be even MORE deadly swarming with Dark World monsters.

For swarming you might try Swords of Concealing Light + Dark World Lighting....if nothing else Swords of Concealing Light will give your Gravekeeper's Spear Soldier targets for 2 turns.
