First off, thank you for your suggestions, I really appreciate them.

traps should be call, torrential and x3 bottomless
Ceasefire if you want, it's a matter of preferance
Yup, all about preference. I agree that "Call" and "Torrential" need/should be in just about every deck. Beyond that, it's all a matter of preference. I've never been a big fan of "
Bottomless Trap Hole". It's a great card, but a little too 'cookie cutter' for me.
exiledforcefreak said:
Ok, monarchs should look like x3 Thestalos & x1 Mobious or x2 of each, another mater of preferance.
Yup, again, a matter of preference. You say 'should' look like that. By whose standards? 'Everybody' is trying to run 2 or 3 "Thestalos" now. That's not the purpose of this deck. I wanted to use all the Monarchs for a little more of the 'total' control package, not just hand and Spell/Trap.
exiledforcefreak said:
take out the whole batterman thing.
Again, these are different. And who wouldn't love getting 3 of these by "
Cyber Jar" when the opponent has "
Level Limit - Area B" or "
Gravity Bind" on the field, or any time for that matter. Three 3 star 3000 ATK/DEF monsters on the field. That kinda screws them over a little.
exiledforcefreak said:
Cyber Jar needs to come out, it will almost always hurt you.
Quite the contrary, it almost always helps me. Who cares if they get out a beatstick, I'll just 'steal' it next turn. It helps get me the cards I need for 'stealing' their monsters. It can get me the "
Batteryman AA"s. Plus, it's my favorite card in the game!
exiledforcefreak said:
and take out the
Kuribohs.
Life point saver. And alternate target for when opponent tries to destroy my face-down "Call" in preparation for their attack.
exiledforcefreak said:
I suppose dekochi is a matter of preferance but 3 is overkill
Again, I beg to differ. It's 3 extra draws. And if one happens to get hit by "Nobleman", then I've thinned by deck by 2 or 3 cards. Yay!
exiledforcefreak said:
take out the
Mind Controls
"
Mind Control" explained in post above. Gives me an advantage, in my mind at least. I don't care that I can't attack or tribute. I know what it was/is if it was face-down, and it helps to clear their field for the turn.
exiledforcefreak said:
and put in another
Brain Control.
I would if I could! I don't own anymore!
exiledforcefreak said:
I wouldn't say I'm 'missing' them Bob...(sorry bad pun on movie quote). I purposely left them out BECAUSE they are considered 'staples'. As you can tell, this deck isn't about 'staples'.
exiledforcefreak said:
If you are gonna run tribute monsters and hand control (a-la thestalos) then you should be running 3
Spirit Reapers and maybe even a
Don Zaloog
This deck isn't about hand control. It's about more of the 'total' control package. Hand and field. I've built hand control decks in the past and I agree, the cards you mentioned are a must in those decks, but not this one...lol.
exiledforcefreak said:
Since you are running 2
Enemy Controllers you could run a
Ninja Grandmaster Sasuke if you wanted to.
I almost did put him in. But the "
Enemy Controllers" are more for stopping attacks and taking control of my opponent's monsters to clear their field for my attacks.
exiledforcefreak said:
You should try to fit in more d.d. assailants.
Again, I would if I could! I only own 1 of them.
Again, thank you for the suggestions. In any other deck they would probably work flawlessly. I know how good your deck building skillz are, but this deck isn't designed to 'fit in'. It's a deck for the 'next generation' of staples..lol. One can only hope.
