Very interesting...

Not sure how to fix it, but it has a nice touch to it with the double blades and all. Very sleek :cool:

I would like to make some additions, although some may be obvious
+Tsukuyomi
+BoM
+Twin Swords of Flashing Light - Tryce

You can also consider this combo I saw using Tsukuyomi + Ultimate Offering. Basically the idea is to stop your opponent from attacking by keeping their monsters face-down, using Ultimate Offering during their battle phase. This should work particularly well with the MS family since they pick on face-down so much. You could even combo it with Mysterious Guard for more evil doings. :rolleyes:

8/10
 
Yes! Indeed interesting as I can play more monsters on my own as well as sending more monsters of my opponent back to his topdeck. I think I need only a Mysterious Guard.
In addition, I currently play with Exiled Force and 3x Marauding Captian. Tsukuyomi is going to another staple card. Using the Twin Swords of Flashing Light - Tryce allows me to attack two times and to special or normal summon Guarding Tryce and since the effects of the mystics are to immediatly destroy the face-down monster without damage calculation, the Tryce equip card would be handy, despite its discard-cost. Not to mention that when the field is under my control, which is the basic goal of most every deck, attacking twice with a mystic does more damage. I might even concider to side-deck Gaia Power.
Thanks, drew ;)
 
NO prob mate.

I'm just wondering what's the point of MJ #2 in this deck? Why do you include 3 copies?

EDIT: nvm, I read it again and realised that MJ#2 summoned the monsters face-down onto the field. I thought its effect was like Cyber Jar where it's up to the players to put them face-up or face-down.
 
I discovered two MJ #2's are fine, and together with The Shallow Grave, I can choose any monster from my grave and destroying the opponents special summoned face-down monster with the mystics. Having 2x Magician of Faith makes me stronger by returning my spell cards for hand and field control.
This tactical way of dueling forces the opponent to summon and not set his/her monsters, thus I know that Nobleman of Crossout is only a luxery in this deck, not a need.

I stumbled today upon a difficult situation. I'm out of ideas which trap cards to use. Since Sakuretsu Armor only hold off one monster, it is only a way to stall the opponent. I need a proper replacement so I can return the armors to the side deck. Giant Trunade is very popular these days in Holland and most people have it 3 times in their decks. Also, since Giant Trunade is mostly unavoidable, a one-hit KO can still be made. Examples are: Return from a different Dimension with Megamorph and Cyber End Dragon with Limiter Removal produced with Cyber Stein. That's putting me up to play Waboku.
In conclusion, I am looking for cards that make my side deck most small as possible. Any help would be appreciated and daily I shall come up with my ideas as well.
 
instead of the Sakuretsu Armors .. why not use Threatening Roar....With Giant Trunade being used so much in Holland, you can chain it to their Trunade, or Heavy Storm or whatever they wanna use..... You know, this deck may make good use of Cold Wave.... just a suggestion, but It may slow you down a bit....... hmmm...... use Ceasefire... this deck is begging for it.... maybe instead of Waboku.... or how about Curse of Anubis.. that would stick to the whole keep your opponent in defense mode ideal.......

Cold Wave can be replaced for my own Giant Trunade and combining it with The Shallow Grave and Magician of Faith, I can lock the opponent for sure. I was also thinking of Dark Mirror Force, since Swords of Concealing Light brings the opponent's monsters face down, his summoned monster may bring damage, but at the cost of a mass removal of his allies. Wow! This is inspiring :rolleyes:
 
Sorry for the double post but since the tournament is coming soon, I'd like to show you all the edited version. I really need to know which traps are best to hold against strong opposing monsters.
