I like this deck I really do but I don't have PODs yet so my question is What can I sub for POD and warnings?

Gravekeeper's aren't Tier One just because of that YCS.

If they top at the next YCS, when people are prepared for them, then yes, they're Tier. At the moment, though, they're just an Anti-Meta deck that wasn't sided for much (at Atlanta, at least, as Milan showed that GKs couldn't do much when sided for).

As it does to a few others but still they can play around it. Remember they still have a butt load of beaters and if Royal Tribute hits you your basically gonna be top decking against them.

Its not up yet so I'm still taking this with a grain of salt. It should be a week or so before they are up.

How do u know i have noc in my hand? and i run gb so giving me a free tag out its fine by me

sKrod · 11-22-2010, 04:18 PM

-.- You make no sense. A set spy vs a set assailant or set any gk besides guard will still give you a free tagout.

I don't and you don't know if its a spy or assailant face down either.

sunnyd2293 · 11-22-2010, 04:24 PM

There was definitely a Seven Tools of the Bandit in the winning deck and i'm pretty sure they only ran 1 Starlight Road.

Shadow mirror dominates this deck but it was awesome to see them win

No it doesn't just like Consecrated Light doesn't. They have outs considering Commandant is an earth type, and they can just side in Cyber Dragons.

Needs_Persim_Berry · 11-22-2010, 05:08 PM

Deck has an easy side in, but no one was prepared for it, don't pretend like you can predict NoC plays, because you probably can't. NoC wrecks keepers because it keeps you in fear and you set your spies too cautiously, and you generate advantage too slowly. Deck loses to consecrated + tkro, easy side ins. I don't know if you're the one who topped with this deck, but congrats to whoever did.

How can you say they loose to Consecrated + Rai Oh? Necrovalley ,makes majority of their monsters stronger than Rai-oh for starters and secondly you have a 2100 earth type in Commandant which gets by them both. This is also providing your hand has not been nuked by Royal Tribute. While those are ok side deck choices they dont hurt as much as you think since Light Gemini has a problem with GK with the high defense and beaters.

I also have had people try Consecrated against me and it isn't as great as you think. Its just like it is with Blackwings, it slows them down a small bit but not enough to make that huge of a difference since they run triple book, can still set and have an earth type in their midst.

I NoC your Spy, and Bottomless your Commandant. Then NoC your Recruiter too.

Poor preparation by the players at that YCS. Nobody expected it coming.

Not to mention all of the destruction and shizz.

Try Upstart Goblin it helps you thin your deck and is near the same concept of POD. As long as you get Royal Tribute early game you will be in good shape and giving your opponent the extra 1000 lp won't even matter. But honestly there is nothing to replace Solemn Warning.

Dos Equis · 11-22-2010, 06:23 PM

Upstart is terribad.

I don't really like this build to be honest, control > beatdown in my opinion, does anyone know the other two builds that topped?

And people need to shut the **** up with all their situational combos and imaginary plays.
