Yu-gi-oh Online!

I heard Yugioh?
Man i have stopped dueling since the last fakku tournament (or 2nd last one)
I dont even know whats allowed/banned anymore, cant keep up with all the new jazz like XYZ and that xD

Think my DN's Yaguruma; I don't use Dev-Pro
I usually throw abundance only as a last resort to throw people off thinking I work with rainbow and only rainbow dragon.

So the trap cards set are those kinds ready to destroy monsters/ negate monster effects. Kinda works well as a diversion, that piece of majesty.
But I don't have Rainbow so I made do with Magna-Gravi hordes.

I've probebly missed quite a lot so feel free to fill the list. And if people want to post thier DN-name so I can make a list, that would be great~

Guys, out of curiosity: why the Ghostrick hype?

I've seen some cards floating around 10-15€ each on eBay, yet I still have to understand what's the point of that deck, aside the fact that the artworks are adorable.

I met them only once on DN, while taking Harpies for a test run, and wrecked the poor guy completely (then again, a turn 1 Dracossack with set stuff for defense IS a bit of a pain).

...of course, if they turn out to be actually competitive, it would be awesome to play them and go "Uu~ uu~ if you don't give me sweets, I'll play a prank" on the opponent. :p

Ghostricks are a archtype which is rely on field control by flipping the monsters face-down and then the ghostrick gain thier effect when they are flipped. and with the field they can attack directly.
I don't consider them Tier 1 but 2 maybe 3. They are ok, but they are too slow and doesn't have a propper combo.

I know what they do, I don't get why many people ask about them AND why Jack o' Lanter and Mary are so overpriced (12-15€ apiece on eBay).

That said, they're an interesting archetype: drop Mansion, defend with a ton of cards today's pr0s don't even know (Magic Cylinder, Dimensional Wall, Swords of Concealing Light) and then win by slooow cherry tapping. How good is that? :D

I think it could probebly work but the amount of ghostrick cards requierd in a viable ghostrick deck would interfear with the amount of anti-meta/stall cards and would cause either a deck larger than 40 or a inconsistant deck since the chance of drawing a useful hand that you can make plays from in 2-3 turns are lower than your opponent(asuming he/she is playing a meta deck) drawing a set-up for thier play in the first turns.

Swords of Concealing Light are actually one of the staples of Ghostrick afaik, they combo nicely with Mansion. That's why I said that Ghostrick win by cherry tapping, you go for direct attacks via Mansion effect (Yuki-Onna helps too).

That said, it's also true that the deck itself is low-tier at best, and that the main appeal of the cards is that they're adorable.

On a side note, I tried Evilswarm for the lulz and they are good, first turn Ophion with adequate defense can win games. And first turn Ophion is very easy to drop (Castor, Kerykeion, Mandragora).

I haven't played evilswarms yet /: but they seem good and i know that they can maintain a good board control.
I'll be trying it out at some point.

With Rescue Rabbit and other important antimeta stuff limited they lost a lot of potential, but the Xyz of the archetype are very strong and fairly easy to summon, since a lot of the monsters you play can be Special Summoned or summon each other via effects.

This is the list I'm trying right now, if you're interested:

Thanks man~ Gonna twerk this a little into my playstyle and we'll see how it goes.
You could probebly fill up that extra deck a little just cause why not.

True, I'll do that one of these days. That said, I practically don't have any Xyz monster, so normally I test using the cards I would be able to get - unless it's a deck I just want to try for fun, in which case I go all out.

Ah I see. I'm not playing IRL atm becuase i don't have the money, so therefor i take all the advantages of playing online xD

I don't play IRL cus I don't have a competitive deck AND because I don't have a place to play anymore. So I too play online, but sometimes I try to play with "what could be", though I have exceptions - like Harpies.

We haven't even started so feel free to join <3
Post your Dueling-network or DEVpro name so others can see.

Cake go away! I will report <3
