Hmm... Whenever I think of Gilford the Lightning, I tend to think less of "chaos-stuff" and more of "big warrior guy: blow up crap"!

To me, Gilford is like a big, overgrown Zaborg the Thunder Monarch. Now, the biggest problem with both Gilford and Zaborg is that they don't search out at all in the Advanced Format. So, my idea is to run a few more of them while focusing on the secondary aspect of finding ample tribute fodder.

I've lately been praising the potential of Gilasaurus/The Shallow Grave + Soul Exchange to get out big monsters. Gilasaurus and Zaborg pretty much go hand in hand, and with Ultimate Offering, getting Gilford out with his effect isn't too hard.

So...
-Chaos Sorcerer
+Gilford the Lightning

-Jinzo (if you're willing)
-Exarion Universe
+Zaborg the Thunder Monarch (x2)

-Marauding Captain x2
+Gilasaurus x2

-Don Zaloog; it's really up to you, but one monster needs to go to add...
+Kaiser Sea Horse

-Reinforcement of the Army x1
+Soul Exchange

Just a thought.

You can search it with, Different Dimension Capsule but only if you can protect it for one turn, untill it resolves.

Activate DD Capsule in Main Phase 1 of your turn 1.
Then your turn 2: Standby Phase #1.
Then your turn 3: Standby Phase #2. Then you can take that card in your hand. It needs to survive for two turns.

But other then that, it looks like an interesting deck.

Der, talk about a brain fart! I ought be ashamed of myself for forgeting that card. Especially since I happen to really like it! :dope:

-Confiscation
+Different Dimension Capsule

Well, there's one in there. If it works well, you could probably decide on what to take out for a second.

 

[CardsOfTheHeart]

I remember seeing a Gilford deck on another message board that also abused Magical Hats. Perhaps you could get rid of Magic Cylinder and Ceasefire for a couple of them. Then again, you'd have to focus the entire deck around the hats. But you could try it if you're willing...

Magical Hats + Ultimate Offering + Gilford

OW! THAT SMARTS!

 

[kingpinopie]

So, what you are saying is Spring the Magical Hats during your opponents Battle Phase, then use Ultimate Offering to Bring out Gilford the Lightning? I guess it Could work... but wow, what a situational Combo.... way cool though if you can do it, especially if they just brought out some big gun to do you in.....

 

[Xeno]

Wow, some great ideas here!! Thanks guys.

 

[krazykidpsx]

the new shonen jump talks about using 3x Embodiment of Apophis as back up for gilfer the lightning.

not tomention combo in 1 embodiment with 1 Mage Power to have a 2600 attack or using 3 Embodiment of Apophis + Delta Attacker for some direct attack goodness.

oo, i might just make an embodiment deck like i wanted to a while back.

 

[vash]

i would think that Moisture Creature would help to because it toasts the back row and gilford toasts the monsters

just a thought
may not work

 

[CardsOfTheHeart]

I've seen someone try Gilford & Moisture Creature in the same deck. That idea was quickly scrapped.

*reads krazykidpsx's post

Shonen Jump doesn't know what they're smoking with the three Embodiments for Gilford. That's a four card combo. At least my combo- oh wait, it needs four cards, too. Never mind.

 

[krazykidpsx]

dude, all you need is 1 Kaiser Sea Horse, 1 embodiement and thats it.

its a 2 for 1. i mentioned 3x embodiment if you were willing to attack with them. that was all.

its probably one of the faster ways to get out 3 normal type monsters to be able to use Delta Attacker on. think about it, thats 3 x 1600, and if you pump them up in any way shape or form its more damage.

its not a combo that you pull off opening hand but mid game can be devestating. if you last mid game with thouse 3.

 

[Xeno]

I took out Don for Kaiser, and Chaos Sorcer is out for Airknight (until I get my hands on a Zaborg).

I'm DYING to get my hands on an Embodiment of Apophis!! Even before I constructed this deck. It's hard though, we don't get the Shonen Jump promos here (easily anyway).

 

[krazykidpsx]

yea but its in the new magazine. why not order one online? if your a subscriber you also get a demo for the new PS2 game Dragon Quest 8

I thought only subscribers get the promo cards ? Man, I wish I knew that when I was hunting for other SJ cards !

 

[krazykidpsx]

haha, nah, the SJ cards are for everybody, only some promotional things are for subscribers.

so far i have gotten 2 demo's month to month. during this issue i got Dragon Quest 8 during last month i got the new One Piece Grand Battle demo.

the month before that, i forgot what i got, i think it was Amazoness Chain Master but that wasnt subscribber though.

i dunno, i should pay more attention to what subscribbers get lol.


but so far all the yugi cards are for everybody except for OBelisk which is the promo you get for subscribing to the mag.
