Hi, I'm new here and looking for a few good tips. This is a rock deck I threw together and have been working on. I find its main weakness is it speed, but once it gets things going it can be quite effective. Please give me some pointers on how to make it more effective.

Traps - 11
Sakaretsu Armor x 2
Magic Cylinder
Staunch Defender
Return from the Different Dimension
Spiritual Earth Art - Kurogane
Waboku
Ultimate Offering
Ceasefire
Ordeal of a Traveler
Magic Drain

Side Deck - 15 cards
Heavy Storm - usually a staple, but I'm running alot of traps
Chaos End - took it out because I'm tired of having it first turn
Ring of Magnetism - thought it would do well, havnt worked it in.
Vengeful Bog Spirit

Brain Control
Ordeal of a Traveler - took it out for stumbling
Compulsory Evacuation Device

Grave Ohja
Man Eater Bug

Thanks for the help

well id take out the jujitsu master (considering u have no other support cards 4 him) and add another rat mm not much else

8.5/10

oh and maybe take out a Sak and add a mirror force

[NeoPiccolo]

Thanks, I've been trying to get a Mirror Force, I do think it would be a great addition. Jujitsu Master gone!

[Underbheit Henchman]

not so fast. With Breaker gone and Nobleman still at 1 I find playing fd def monsters are extremely effective.
I'd lose the Ultimate Offering, Staunch Defender
Play 2 Fairy Box instead.
You haven't seen despair until you've watched someone take 4000 damage from a Stone Statue of Aztecs.

[NeoPiccolo]

To tell you the truth, I've never had a problem with Nobleman, thanks to it being limited to one, but what I do see alot of are cards like Drillroid, Six Samurai Irou, Mystic Swordsman, and the like. I also find that Trample decks can rough up on this type if I don't pull a sphinx out fast enough. Cryosphinx can be shearched via rat, but I'd rather be running another Heiracosphinx. anyone know a way to get him out faster?

[Underbheit Henchman]

The Mausoleum of the Emperor field card... which isn't a bad idea for getting guardian out super fast either.
I'd suggest perhaps a main decked enemy controller, book of moon, etc. It'll help you minimize those defense mode attackers somewhat.

The deck you're running is roughly where I started with my Suicide deck. Take a look and see how that ended up. Deck Evolution.

O.O That just screams Zaborg

i dont know about running 3 megarocks but if you must then i would say use a rock bombardment maybe 2. You can do i think 500 then A) you have a rock in the grave and B) you could bring whatever you need to the grave for premature or something. Also it would thin your deck a lil bit. My friend runs rock and it helps him. I always mst it so it can be a great lure for a heavy or something. Maybe sandmoth works well for you but i dont know how well it really is also i think jujitsu master is pretty good...besides that everything else is pretty good..

[BlitchPlease]

- Sand Moth
+ Legendary Jujitsu Master [it wastes your opponents draw]
-Magical Cylinder
+Ring Of Destruction [its true that both of you take life point damage but it also destroys the monster]
maybe...

-wabaku
+injection fairy lily [ its true that you might lose 2000 lp, but it gains 3000 atk points until the end of the turn... and if they try to ring or magical, you can choose not to]


please rate or fix my deck for regionals:

i dont know how to put stuff in the sig, sorry

[Altometer]

in my oppinion

-1 ordeal of travaler
+1 Gravekeeper's Servant

or maybe just add gravekeeper

all in all it sounds like a tough deck to beat.

[NeoPiccolo]

I'm still searching for a Ring & Mirror Force, and they will go into my deck soon. Fairy Box was a great suggestion. Thanks for the Enemy Controler + Sand Moth, it was somehow oblivious to me (got to get a couple of those now too -.-) anyway, thanks to all for their advice, and I will get a new list when I make the changes permanent.

[Warahyuu]

I think you should try some Magical Merchants to speed up the deck. It'll get rocks into the grave faster for your dragon.

I'm not too familiar with a lot of these rock-type cards, but it all looks solid enough. A lot of them have high defense, so I think putting in Shield and Sword was a good move. 8.9/10

[Boz-o]

Additional Comment:

9.5/10 and keep in sak and mirror force.

[Redfish12]

I'd say you should sidedeck a Draining Shield.

This deck would highly annoy me if I dueled it...it would take so long to get out of the defenses.

9/10
