From what I've heard about the Jewel Beasts from Force of Breaker, I've put together an idea of the kind of deck I'd like to run when they finally get here.

2x Jewel Beast - Ruby Carbuncle
2x Jewel Beast - Emerald Turtle
3x Jewel Beast - Amber Mammoth
3x Jewel Beast - Topaz Tiger
3x Jewel Beast - Sapphire Pegasus
2x Enraged Battle Ox
Breaker the Magical Warrior
Apprentice Magician x2
Old Vindictive Magician x2
Magician of Faith

Jewel Guidance x2
Smashing Ground x2
Nobleman of Crossout
Mystical Space Typhoon
Giant Trunade x2
Big March of Animals x2
Pot of Avarice
Rare Value x2
Ancient City of Rainbows - Rainbow Ruin x3
Terraforming

Torrential Tribute
Ring of Destruction
Mirror Force
Magic Cylinder

Think this would work?

See, this is the idea I had for a JB deck- Use the support Animals already have to make it awesome!

I like!

There are 2 Jewel Traps coming out you may want to look for.

I know about Last Resort, but I want to try Terraforming instead since I know a LOT of people who use Royal Decree and Jinzo. Dunno about the other trap, though.

Additional Comment:
Okay, 2 things I realized that could help this deck be more aggressive:

1) If the G-/E-/M-Force cards and GEM Burst are released in FOTB, I'll probably want to at least sidedeck a pair of each.
2) Big March of Animals would be nice here...just a matter of finding a way to fit it in. ;.;

Hamon would work in this deck (1 though)

believe it or not hamon is a good card for this deck use it to discard weaker jb and sacrifice own to a smaller number giving you a beatstick to hit your oppent with until you get carbunkle out, i would definitely use big march of animal it can almost gerantee a victory.

Not only that, but it can also give you back the S/T spaces that were occupied by jbs. aside from that, Manticore of darkness would work in this deck also (I think:confused: )

Hmm...well, I might consider Hamon for a sidedeck item, but I don't really see him being maindeck material.

Also, superhuge massive important (total baloney) update:
+2 Big March of Animals

Between my degree of success with 42-card decks and the drawing power this thing's got, I figured what the heck, balance the # of monsters and s/t back out and add some potential uberstompage.

You might want to reconsider what you stated. Knowing the metagame, you'll probably have 2-3 jbs in your S/T zone in 3-4 turns. The idea of using Hamon is to:
1. clear your S/T zones of 3 jbs that would occupy them (since they won't go to the graveyard unless there destroyed then w/ a card effect or if their destroyed by a S/T destruction card).

2. Hamon is a 4000 beatstick w/ the ability to do 1000 pts. of damage to your opponent for each monster Hamon destroys in battle

Between his ability to be stuck in my hand should things go bad, the laughable ease at which he dies in comparison to the cost to get him out, and the way he destroys the usefulness of other key cards in the deck...no, I think I'll leave him sidedecked.

Guys, Niether Manticore nor The Big March of Animals work for the Jewel beasts in the M/T zones. For a very simple reason:

send 1 Beast, Beast-Warrior or Winged Beast-Type Monster Card

all face-up Beast-Type monsters

it is treated as a Permanent Magic Card

So obviously you need Beast-type MONSTERS And the JB become Permanent Magic card after destruction so sorry it wouldn't work. Plus 3 out of 7 Jewel Beasts are not BEASTS at all.

fun_duelist is correct: Emerald Turtle, Ruby Carbuncle and Cobalt Eagle aren't Beast-type monsters, though Cobalt Eagle can work with most of the support due to its Winged-Beast-type status.

Regarding the other claim, it does seem reasonable enough that the Jewel Beasts, when locared in the Spell/Trap Zone, don't count towards the type or count the aforementioned cards need.

Fun Duelist is actually quite wrong, and missing the point that was intended for Big March. Fill up m/t Zones, bring to field with Carbuncle, activate 1-2 Big March.

Big March is a bad idea anyways.

Sorry, It's just that I have seen this card proxied and used like that a lot.

Actually, Yeah that'd work:D .

BMoA's meant to be a "finisher" card. Considering the relative ease it would theoretically be to have 4 or 5 high-ATK Beast-Types out at once, and how my opponent's defenses wouldn't mean jack if one of those were Enraged Battle Ox, it would pretty much amount to "Squish. Game over."

Also...you think I should swap the Turtles out with Amethyst Cat just to make the entire (save Ruby Carbuncle) JB lineup Beast-types? A well-timed BMoA could make her a nasty direct attack..
