Necrovalley/Royal Tribute

[WinstonShnozwick]

I'm trying to incorporate a small engine dedicated to making Royal Tribute work somewhat consistently in a deck. ~10 cards

3 Necrovalley - Obvious
2 Royal Tribute - Obvious
2 Terraforming - Faster Valley
2 Magical Mallet - Tons of consistency, it may be a -1 but I've had it in another deck and it's done nothing but help consistency and bad hands.
1 Pot of Duality - Consistency, but more would mess up the special summoning part of the deck which I want to have.

So my question is, what cards would work well with Necrovalley, besides it obviously is mainly for Royal Tribute. Also, what monsters or cards can I run to mitigate or benefit from the hand loss by Royal Tribute? Dark worlds etc..

And if you can improve the Royal Tribute engine to make more consistent then cool. Want to be 10 or less cards. (Note please don't just say "make a gk deck". I'm after using Royal Tribute here since I find it a cool powerful effect, but I don't want to run the gk deck.

Gravekeeper's Commandant is better then Terraforming because be doubles as a 2100 beater if you have valley already.

[Gaspar]

...Gravekeeper's Commandant is better than Terraforming if Necrovalley is your only Field Spell.
...Completely ninja'd.

[WinstonShnozwick]

Good point, I did consider it. My only thought was that it would raise the monster count, but I don't have the other 30 cards in the deck planned yet so I wouldn't know what to expect.

Would 2 commandment's be better than 2 Terraforming then?

gravekeeper :rolleyes:?
But seriousely don t just run Royal Tribute like that,darkworld are really anoying

[Bleakdragon55]

I wouldn't use Mallet. Yes it can get you the cards you need, but if you want that... I would just use 2 Duality instead of Mallet, as Mallet can be dead late game.

And to be honest, I don't see how this will be splashable. Exactly what deck do you plan on using this in?

gravekeeper ?

So because of the worst case match up I shouldn't run this? :rolleyes:

2 Duality might have problems with my special summoning. With the lack of gk in this deck, I can't just get mons back like stele if I lose em, so I want to try to summon them out of hand before dropping tribute.
And it's something I'm testing still, so I don't know. As for deck, I'm going for rogue/original or antimeta.

Upstarts and or reckless greed

If all your Deck is going to focus on is using "Royal Tribute", you're not going to win. It's only a game-ender if you have a strong follow-up. That's why Wind-Up Turbo Decks don't make it as far as standard builds.

[WinstonShnozwick]

It's not the focus of the deck. It's just a small engine for hurting the opponent. The rest of it will be antimeta/summoning bosses.

Dedicating a quarter of your slots into hurting your opponent while trying to minimize your losses? I think you're better off using those 10 slots for more stun.

Run it in DW.

If you are possibly going to be incorporating it into a:

Malefic Deck
Or
Macro Deck

It may possibly work, otherwise, just build Gravekeepers, they use Gravekeeper's Steele to great effect after playing Royal Tribute, plus they can easily run Malefic Stardust Dragon as well. :)

I like macro, could you explain how that could work? Cards to go with, etc..

macro.....
Nan don t try,it would be to much set up

[redeyesblkd]

why dont u just run gks

[WinstonShnozwick]

why dont you troll better

[Alice]

why dont you troll better

That don t really sound like trolling,Necrovalley was created for gravekeeper after all.....

gravekeepers with the right traps can very pretty nicely anti-meta.

it really seems like you should try gravekeepers..

[redeyesblkd]

its not trolling you ******
the gravekeeper engine isnt splashable with tributes and valley fub

[WinstonShnozwick]

The point here is to try and be original and make something fun. I'm not looking for making the next big broken tier 0 deck. I'd just like some helpful suggestions, not posts saying "hurrdurr run gk" I suppose it was too much to ask from pojo.

[redeyesblkd]

there is nothing original about graveekeepers or the engine.

and my suggestion was as good as itll get

btw you can be original and fun without being bad

Very constructive input, I'll try running this. Wait I forgot what you wrote that was constructive, repost?

The only to other real idea are malefic and darkworld but.................

[redeyesblkd]

the point was to say that if u want to run tribute and valley you should run gks

thats like me saying i want to make a deck revolving around Skill Drain and hotfb but i dont want to play a tg deck

also, how can you be original if your getting the idea from someone else

fail

[WinstonShnozwick]

I saw a dw with it in, looked cool. Was a recent idea to try making royal trib engine though, I knew it would be restrictive. Owell.

Malefic is good but don t really need Royal Tribute.............
