I was thinking of maybe taking out Allure and Eclipse Wyvern for a Pot of Avarice. Maybe add a 2nd Wulf or a RotA.

Should I also think about trying to incorporate tour guides?

tour guide is the best card in the game so if you find room for 4 cards then yes you should have it

TGU should be in pretty much every deck.

Had an idea for a deck, maybe y'all can help me out.

The idea was a variant of Gravekeepers for even more dominant field control. Focused on using Gkeeps Desc&Chief and DAD to constantly clear the field (every monster you tribute with Desc can be banished for DAD for 2x card removal). Then I combined that with Malefic SDs to get more reliable bruising power out any time I wanted. Here's where I am now:

(I know I still need to add the Stardust Dragons to my Extra).

Concerns: Insufficient swarming capability to feed Desc while getting a Chief out. I feel like I should add some Double Summons and either Guards, Watchers, or Priestesses. Side note: Does having a priestess on the field count as a field for Malefic?

EDIT: What about a Necroface?

Malefic takes up too much space in the deck, you'd have a lot more control/versatility running tour guides in that place and you can get out 3k beatsticks easy.

I recommend trying Genex Ally Crusher for a lot more field removal power.

Took out the malefic claws, now malefic is only 3 cards in my deck. With 3 Double Summon and Necroface, this seems like it should work.

I'll check out Genex Ally Crusher though, thanks

I found I learnt the most just be watching some of the high ranked duels. You'll learn the basic top tier decks that people use and the rules from there.

Then from there I started playing around with my own decks. However unfortunately most of the time all you see is Wind up, Dino rabbits, and Inzektor.

You see an Exodia deck, just quit on the get go.
that deck shouldn't be allowed to exist, imo, and I think it got away from being banned totally because it was made during the era where there werent powerful draw engines.

I'm still waiting for the day Exodia just disappears off the map period. Along with every FTK deck out there.

As long as Konami restricts the engines to make the decks inconsistent enough to make it truly meta I'm fine with having just a few of them around. Good to have some unknown threat factor in any given tournament.

Really? This shit still works? Nothing much has changed since I quit it seems.

Why the Chief, Face and Double Summon though? Is it for XYZ shenanigans?

Does anyone still play this? I'd like to have some people to play with that actually speak english and know the rulings/what their cards do. I just had a guy trying to negate torrential with solemn warning, and the amount of people who try to negate with MST is astounding, for example.

I'm not really that good so I don't play a lot of rated because I don't feel like getting stomped, but I know my rulings and I'd just like to play the game without having to walk a person who barely speaks english through what his card does.

But isn't it how it works on the shows? The players play a card and then proceed to explain to the other person what it does, when clearly the other person should know.

in the show it seems like cards are more unique, nobody has the same deck or plays the same cards at all

I don't think that you're going to get more field control out of a deck like that than a standard gravekeeper's deck, if anything you sacrifice control for more offensive power. I would suggest swapping to maelific cyber ends if you wanted to continue to use a similar deck but do keep in mind that necrovalley will block DADs removal effect. I'd also take out at least one Stele, probably all three.

My handle on DN is ZebraQuake, if anybody is interested. I hardly ever play rated (I've played 2 rated matches; it's not that I'm afraid of losing, I just like casual matches more). My favorite decks to run are:

Plants (w/o Tengu, Spore, Glow-Up, etc. since they're banned, although Tengu Plant Synchro was definitely my favorite deck ever)
Wind-Ups (without Hunter, since I got tired of looping people all of the time)
Inzektors (But not solely focused on pop-Xyzing)
T.G.s (Not T.G. Skill Drain; just stuff with T.G.s, hehe)
Random Stuff

I prefer running Synchro-focused decks, although the occasional Xyz deck is fun, too. Shoot me a message so I remember to add you.
