greetings, miserables (don't forget the French accent). Its been forever since I've been online here, but Im facing a couple of deckbuilding questions and need a rule before I make my decisions. Phantom of Chaos removes Yubel-Terror Incarnate from the Graveyard and copies its effect...

Hey there old man. I've been offline all month but it looks like that in the Lair of Dark Monarchs, the application of Kael has gotten 5 postive votes for acceptance. I know things are slow with the Lair and it may be a moot point but I think he's earned the right to gain full Monarch access...

My heart is broken. Slither, Deck Wraith...Alex, was more than just a compatriot to me. Yo perdio mi primo. He was my friend, from a hundred miles away. We shared so many things in common: he in Honduras, me in Guatemala; both of us married close to the same time, both of us becoming fathers...

Been a while folks. Anyways, I've still been playing and fiddling with the game. Now that STON has given us Advanced Ritual Arts, I have finally been able to combine my love of Fiends with the fast paced tools needed in the competitive scene. yeah, its Demise :) 2|| Demise, King of...

I was thinking about how DD Crow could be used against DDT effectively. Im wondering if it might not be better to try and target Malicious in the Graveyard instead. Now, normally player's priority will kill this idea, if you are just targeting a Malicious. But I started thinking about how...

As much as I hate to say it, I would rather see Demise get limited than Advanced Ritual Art. Is there a single Ritual monster out there, other than Demise, which would clear the field and cause quite the open shot at hitting an OTK? The closest might be Legendary Flame Lord. But that still...

well that depends. If you are using Contract with the Abyss, you will need the exact level of tribute monsters. So for Relinquished, you would need a bunch of Level 1 monsters.

Yeah, I would have to go with Lava Golem too. But I may just be a bit biased. Its a Fiend, after all. I actually have such a deck, and right now Lava Golem is topping my favorite Fiends list because of its tribute requirement and all the combos for it.

Well, he does already have 3 Lightnings. And he's only 1 short on the Dealings. So, sure, why not?

I like Aliens. <3 Well, its a toss up between the Cosmic Horror and Moms. I own more Gangi'el, so I have more experience with that, and I love it. But that's not to disqualify Moms. The only thing is, outside of Moms and Snatch Steal, you dont have any decked options for getting Gangi'el's...

I would take the good Dr.'s advice and not worry about Reign-Beaux. Instead I would put in a 3rd Brron, Mad King. Maybe its me, but I find that having a full contingent of the Mad King to be a really helpful thing. - Reign Beaux + Brron, Mad King And why not any Gateway to Dark World in...

LOL! If you took the time to read the inane things I was writing, the least I can do is read your ramblings. :D Correct me if Im wrong, but out of those 7 ways to win, both Life Points and Victory Dragon are based on reducing LP to 0 while the other 5 are based on winning through the...

so what you are saying is that I could reverse my own description and make the "theme" that I wrote down as the strategy, and let Theme be a more loose topic that is defined only by whatever common thread holds it together. Is that right? I mean, I can live with that, but when people like...

Oh, Im sure that the topic has been done loosely in the past. I think what tends to happen is that when themes are based upon individual card effects and such, that the list summary grows exponentially with each new set release. And that's why I think its overwhelming. Its like keeping up...

And see, right there, I have been defining it differently than you, Masterwoo0. I think I am almost inversing your description of strategy and theme. Now, I have no problem changing my definition, if I see that there is a more consistent way to explain and talk to other people about this...

I understand what you mean, but I think that such specific type listings is overwhelmingly confusing. If you are trying to prevent your opponent from doing things (attacking, defending, activating s/t, ect) or if you are playing a Skill Drain deck full of Normal Monsters, you are still playing...

btw, this idea is kind of the brainchild of another Dark Monarch from the Lair: FienDillie-O. Dillie-O had a 3-division system which was actually quite apt. The 4th and 5th divisions that I created were my own interpretation of how it developed in my brain. Any hate mail or criticism can be...

I got kind of inspired to rant by the Theme Decks thread by ShadowBenny. This isnt any kind of angry retort because of it, mind you. I just saw that the replies by people to that thread were totally inconsistent with the choices listed in the Poll that was put up on that thread. A theme...

See I am a bit confused by what people are referring to as themes, when placed side by side with the poll above. Are we talking about themes or attributes and subtypes? This is a cool thread, but it kind of inspires me to make a spin-off thread so I dont jack this one entirely.

This is a prototype so far. The idea here is to play around with the loop mechanic of Pole Position and simply prevent my opponent from getting a footing on the board. Im really worried though, because without the equips and Pole Position, the deck would obviously fall apart (Terrified of...
