i was looking through all my cards and i saw FINAL COUNTDOWN
and i remembered how it works so im interested in making a deck revolving FINAL COUNTDOWN i only got a basic idea though so i need help in building one...

3x final countdown
3x pyro clock of destiny
3x Wave-Motion Cannon ect...
 
FYI, pyro clock of destiny doesn't work with cards like wave-motion cannon. It increases the turn count (useful for cards like final coundown), but not that of individual phases...
 
Final Countdown wins the Duel in 20 turns. The best thing to do in such a Deck would be straightforward stall. Get the searchers in there, get the stall cards (Gravity Bind, Messenger of Peace, etc.), and fill the rest with anything else you feel like. High DEF monsters, or some burn. Lots of Deck thinners, though, to get to the Final Countdown (but make sure you don't run out of cards before the 20 turns are up!).

Exodia Countdown sounds like an interesting Deck, though. That way you can use as many thinners as you want without worrying about the extra 10 cards (minimum) you need to keep in your Deck.

The most important thing, though, is making sure you get your Final Countdown quickly; otherwise it's useless (well, less useful than early in the Duel). Different Dimension Capsule is probably a good card to use here.
 
I ran this at an SJC back in February (2 ban lists ago) wihtout playtesting it and well, even though I finished 5-4 with it, I was 4-1 at one point with it and even beat our current top ranked player in the state (who repeatedly tops at Regionals). I'll post it as is with some suggestions for changes:

42 Cards

18 Monsters
Broww, Huntsman of Dark World
Chaos Sorcerer
Cyber Jar
Exiled Force
Kuriboh
Magician of Faith
Morphing Jar
Mystic Tomato
Nimble Momonga (3)
Roulette Barrel
Sangan
Skull-Mark Ladybug
Spirit Reaper (2)
Watapon
Winged Kuriboh

18 Spells
Card Destruction
Dark Hole
Emergency Provisions
Final Countdown (3)
Giant Trunade
Heavy Storm
Level Limit - Area B
Messenger of Peace
Metamorphosis
Mystical Space Typhoon
Nightmare's Steelcage
Pot of Avarice (2)
Reload
Scapegoat
Swords of Revealing Light

6 Traps
Dark Deal
Divine Wrath
Gravity Bind
Pyro Clock of Destiny
Solemn Judgment
Spell Shield Type-8

Now, the obvious changes: Take out Chaos Sorcerer, 1 Spirit Reaper, Cyber Jar, Dark Hole, 1 Pot of Avarice, and Metamorphosis (which was there for Thousand-Eyes Restrict).

Some things to consider adding: Another Divine Wrath. Chain Disappearance is good for the Mystic Swordsman LV2s that you will see. (Divine Wrath will work against them too). Torrential Tribute for Dark Hole, Graceful Charity for the other Pot of Avarice. Also, Bountiful Artemis would be good since you will have decent counter traps in there (take out Broww and Dark Deal for another Spell Shield or Magic Drain to take advantage of the Counter Trap). The 1 Pyro Clock of Destiny is good if you get it off since then you will win on your turn and deny your opponent that last chance to get at you. Anything more though is pointless since unless you get it off 3 times, he'll still have the same number of chances at you.

Just some things to consider.
 
Gotta Have Diamond Dudes.... their ability to pull out Final Countdown and save you the LP Cost is almost priceless. One duel I hit Final Countdown, System Down, AND Graceful Charity with the same Diamond Dude lol

System Down will be great tech against the Chimeratechs and Vehicroids. Ancient Lamp doesn't hurt either for the attack re-direct.

Other monsters to use (I do) is Legendary Jujitsu Master. It's not a flip effect that returns the attacker to the top of the deck. Great to help stall/slow down their deck.

I combine LJM with Kelbek and Gravekeeper's Guard (more bounce) and a single Penguin Soldier. Stall spells also include Vengeful Bog Spirit and Swords of Revealing Light.
 
this is my deck as of SEPT.1 its an all stall final countdown but it needs fixes..

here is a little more stall with a touch of burn =)
 
Run Winged Kuriboh and Kuriboh. I've seen that in a Final Countdown deck. There's way too many Exiled, Old Vindictive, Night, Zaborg, etc that bust face-downs. Winged Kuriboh works really good in Final Countdown deck.

Heck, I've seen 3x Nightmare Steelcage in a final countdown deck. I've also seen Threatening Roar, Hallow Life Barrier, etc.

And man, this deck will be overpowered once Golden Sealed Chest comes out in USA.

I don't know about DD Capsule. I prefer the old Card Destruction/Morphing Jar strat if you need to search for a card. (Maybe even Magical Mallet or Thunder Dragon)

WHAT IS THE Golden Sealed Chest? ITS A SPELL RIGHT.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT DOES?

Don't shout.

"Golden Sealed Chest" is identical to Different Dimension Capsule, except it doesn't remain on the field.
 
Are you serious? So there's no way to prevent me from getting my selected card once the effect resolves? WOO HOO! <Ahem> I mean, woo hoo. ;)
 
Yep, Golden Sealed Chest is popular right now in Japan cause it's freaking garenteed after 2 turns unlike DD Capsule. The only way to stop Golden Sealed Chest is to use a Magic negation counter trap during activation.
 
I WENT TO TOURNY TODAY AND NEARLY BEAT A REGIONAL DUELIST WITH MY FINAL COUNTDOWN!!! I THINK IT STILL NEEDS FIXES TOUGH.. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

1 Pot of Avarice
1 the dark door
1 BOOK OF MOON

i dont know how the effect of winged kuriboh works so thats why i havent put it in the deck.

im also not sure if i want to put in 3 pyro clocks of destiny or keep the unhappy maiden
 
Winged Kuriboh. It has to be on the field (either side), and then be destroyed and sent to your Graveyard. After that, for the rest of the turn, you don't take any Battle Damage (damage to your Life Points from your opponent's attacks). Your monsters still take Battle Damage, though, and can be destroyed by battle. You just won't take any Battle Damage to your Life Points.
 
first off, what were the strengths and weaknesses that you noticed when you were playing. We don't want to suggest taking out things that have worked for you and would compromise the deck.

Offhand, what comes to mind is Ceasefire and Neko Mane King. The burn for Ceasefire isnt needed, but the ability to stop a few flip effects like Magician of Faith or Dekoichi might be very helpful.
