Light Deck

[DarknessMonkey]

Here is a deck I just thought up while looking at different ideas on YouTube.

While thinking of cards to put in the deck I realized that I wanted to focus on control and beat down elements, with some removal tech thrown to combat the top tier decks this format.

2| Banisher of the Light
2| Cyber Dragon
3| D.D. Warrior Lady
3| Disciple of the Forbidden Spell
3| Ehren, Lightsworn Monk

2| Kuraz the Light Monarch
3| Thunder King Rai-Oh

|| Spells | 17 Total
3| Burden of the Mighty
1| Dark Hole
3| Dimensional Fissure
3| Enemy Controller
1| Giant Trunade
2| Gold Sarcophagus
1| Monster Reborn
2| Mystical Space Typhoon
1| Reinforcement of the Army

|| Traps | 4 Total
1| Beckoning Light
3| Royal Decree

+2 Banisher of the Light

I don't see Hamon working great in this deck, at least not at 2. Also, I'm a bit conserned about using Honest while playing 3 Dimensional Fissure. Has this been working during play test?

[Flame Effigy]

Hamon just....shouldn't be here

Book of Moons over E-Con?
D-Fissure seems interesting but it seems really tech-y

Have you tested this?

[DarknessMonkey]

Had not actually had the chance to play test this deck. Considering many people at my locals are not willing to part with some of the cards I need for the deck.

Hamon was personal choice, but if I could find something better fit for the job I would be willing to change it.

Dimensional Fissure was maxed out to accommodate Hamon, but really even without Hamon I would leave at least two only because it would help get rid of the opponent's cards for good. This is here because you could use it to make a really good play, and you can always ditch it (with MST/Trunade) if you feel it will interfere with other cards.

Enemy Controller is personal choice, however if I take out Hamon and a Dimensional Fissure, there is room for a couple Book of Moon. However, I feel E-Con gets the job done better for a deck like this, because you can use either effect at your own discretion. If you can't get over an opponent's beater for whatever reason just switch it to defense, and if you still can't get over it, take it.

I was also thinking that with Hamon removed from the deck, perhaps I should add another Ehren and maybe add in Wulf, Lightsworn Beast as cards would be milled frequently and it would be a potential free summon.

Dimensional Fissure is cool and you could always try to stay with that anti-meta build. But, if you're gonna play it then you can't really play Wulf or Honest. I guess you'll have to choose between D-Fissure and Honest atm.

So if I got rid of Honest what do you suggest that I put in it's place?

Another D.D. Warrior Lady, because she's always the last thing you expect. Dimensional Alchemist is an alternative since it can return your own removed from play monsters to your hand. Or maybe even Banisher of Radiance for even more removal.

Just some ideas if you want to keep Dimensional Fissure.

I totally forgot about Dimensional Alchemist!

I was thinking since I will be dropping the Hamon(s) that I could use that space to throw in another D.D. Warrior Lady.

I didn't actually want to play Banisher of the Radiance only because I didn't want everything to be at risk of being removed, but I guess it could come in handy if I decided to make the change.

I wanted to place another Ehren, Lightsworn Monk in this deck just because of it's effect being so helpful when combined with the power of Enemy Controller.

With that being said, yes, I would also be looking to add a few Book of Moon.

With Hamon and Honest gone, you have 4 spaces for monsters. You could do it like, 2 Alchemist, 1 Warrior Lady and 1 Ehren. That might work. I think you'll have to test which monsters that works good and which that doesn't.

As for adding some BoM, the first things that comes to mind is Beckoning Light. It's not really needed any more. Else from that, the only thing that could be removed for BoM is Golden Sarcophagus I guess. But I'm not sure, don't know how consistent this deck is and how much you need it.

Your deck is starting to look really cool, I might test it when I'm done with the deck I'm currently building. Well, as long as it's okay for you that is. ^^'

Yeah. With no idea how this plays out at the moment I have to kind of think of what will and will not work.

When you suggested Banisher of the Radiance, a switch actually came to my head that I think I might try. Instead of playing Radiance, why not try Banisher of the Light?! With people setting more and more these days it would be a shock if they hit that card hoping for something else.

I think at least one Sarcophagus is needed, that way you can find whatever it is that you need. I'll have to see how Beckoning Light does, if it's not needed I could swap it for a D.D.R. or something.

Hey, if you would be willing to test it and see how it goes let me know. I'm trying to get all the cards currently and have no method of testing it.

[Sazanami]

Banisher of Light sounds a bit cool, might just work. At least it's worth testing.

I don't know if D.D.R. will do so much better, but it's worth a try. With a deck like this, there's many cards out there that might just work with this deck.

Sure thing. But it will take some time thou since, as I said, I have to complete another deck first. After that, I'm gonna test this out. I will probably have some results after the weekend.

Light seemed like it was worth a shot in testing.

I also think the initial spell and trap line up is worth testing before any changes are made. However, I think the additions of Dimensional Alchemist and Banisher of the Light (along with the additional Warrior Lady and Ehren) should happen.

Yeah, I hear ya. Just let me know when you have a chance man.

I have also come up with a tentative name for the deck, Banishing Light.
