Dekoichi is one of the "in cards" currently. Now I run fiends and I have these two monsters Dark Mimic lv1 and Dark Mimic lv3. The first works on flip effect like dekoichi, but lv3 works when sent to the graveyard. Which do you think is better to run 1 or 3? 1 is weak to NoC but might be easier to get off. Advice?
Bah, forget Dekoichi, how bout Dark Mimic?

Dark Mimic LV1 would probably be the best choice. NoC is limited to one but cards that destroy a monster without battle are far more likely.
The reason Dekoichi the Battlechanted Locomotive is ran over Dark Mimic LV1 is because Dekoichi the Battlechanted Locomotive's stats. 1400/1000 it has decent defense and a decent attack, so when you're done flipping him, you can attack.
There is a downside to his ATK though. It matches Mystic Tomato's meaning he is prone to getting smacked into.

Search our wonderful Card Reviews and Tips forum for the two cards. There are reviews on both, and they will probably help you decide.
Either that, or I'll be nice and give you links.

don't forget about Des Lacooda...it's stats might be woeful, but at least it can flip itself back down, once per turn. that means you can use that tsukyomi for something else

LV 1.. I run metamorphasis / TER control. So basically Id Run the LV 1 over the choo choo train.
My friend Run the train but, he also runs Cyber Twin Mecha Beat down. so oviously the little machine train will server another perpose once flipped and that is Limiter Removal which is the reason why he also runs it.
again its a matter of the deck. People play it for the heck of playing it, with out realizing its potential is far worse in a machine oriented deck.

I've had many a philosophical debate over the Mimics for a while now and both Mimics fill two potent voids for drawing power.
Mimic LV1 - Triggers when attacked or flipped. Works awesome as a flip summon followed by a tribute for the Dark Ruler. Problem is that he suffers the fate of NoC and the Mystic Swordsman LV 2's that are running amok.
Mimic LV3 - Slightly higher attack, will trigger when destroyed as a result of battle. You can potentially bring him out face up or special summon him in defense position via Last Will and get a nice draw. Problem is that he suffers the fate of simple monster removal cards in the game.
When the need arises for me to get a little more draw power out of my deck (such as my Exodia one) I actually run 1 of each and have some great success with it. Sometimes I get the flip, sometimes I get the destruction, and ever now and then I pull off a nice special summoning and get 3 cards out of the whole ordeal. I never consider using the cards as attackers in any sense, only as a drawing/tribute resource, so I probably wouldn't run the train anyway. 8^D
