Let there be Light! Deck fix

[MasterOfShadows]

Hello, people. I have a Light deck here that I'd like fixed to the point of being...well, to the point of beating decks down [and blowing **** up - I like saying that]. Here's the deck.

Let there be Light! V 1.8

Monsters: 21

1 Light and Darkness Dragon
3 Majestic Mech - Goryu
1 Majestic Mech - Ohka
3 Freed the Brave Wanderer
1 Sangan
3 Dimensional Alchemist
3 Jain, Lightsworn Paladin
1 Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter
1 Celestia, Lightsworn Angel
1 D.D. Warrior Lady
3 Disciple of the Forbidden Spell

Spells: 15

1 Monster Reborn
2 D.D.R. - Different Dimension Reincarnation
1 Mystical Space Typhoon
1 Heavy Storm
1 Reinforcement of the Army
2 Lightning Vortex
3 Trade-In
1 Giant Trunade
1 Brain Control
1 Card Destruction
1 Monster Reincarnation

Traps: 5

1 Return from the Different Dimension
1 Torrential Tribute
1 Glorious Illusion
2 Karma Cut

Total: 41

The deck's goal is to beat the opponent and good. The first version had just one Return from the Different Dimension and one Freed the Brave Wanderer, so Return was just a just-in-case card used for a push when needed. Now, the goal is to clear out my opponent's cards (mostly monsters with Freed) and bring things back with Return to end it.

Explanation of some of the cards used:

Jain, Lightsworn Paladin is a recent addition to the deck. The main reason this lone Lightsworn is here is for its milling ability milling only two cards instead of the standard three. (That, and I don't have any of the better ones.) Jain is potentially a 2100 attacker here searchable by Reinforcement of the Army, giving me another, less predictable search target. The milling helps me dig through my deck to get to what I need quickly as well as load the Graveyard up for Freed. (It can and will backfire, though, unfortunately. I've had Monster Reborn milled by it three times, so you can see just how dangerous it can be.)

Dimensional Alchemist has been here for a while. Its purpose is also to fish through my deck, directly loading the removed zone and also retrieving a removed monster when destroyed. A worthwhile addition.

Disciple of the Forbidden Spell has been here since the deck's conception. Its use is as monster removal for whatever monster may be giving me some trouble as long as I've already dumped at least one of them.

Help is greatly appreciated. Let the fixing begin! [cuts red tape and fires starter pistol]

[Gladiator_Beast]

this deck doesn't look to bad! 9.5/10 for sure!

[Ashlock]

9/10 decent deck for sure

[MasterOfShadows]

I'm thinking about adding a Light and Darkness Dragon to this. Any thoughts on this?

[ninequads]

-waboku + threatening roar
-fissure + D.D.R. other than that looks good.

r/f http://www.pojo.biz/board/showthread.php?t=544197 you can just rate if you want

[Darkest]

-1 Fissure
+1 Smashing Ground

[D-Slayer]

good luck

i was the dude that u r/f the royal trinkets deck - lol

[SuperSam17]

Looks good. How does it run?

[halorave]

it looks good even though i havn't given my hand at a light deck build in ages i cant really say much because of that but maybe....

-woboku
+threatening roar

or maybe put some solemn's in solemn judgement is very mainable this format and a must.

[jinzo69]

u need some makor updates

2 gellenduo ( i have 2 - willing to sell )
1 marshmallon

[Krazedkarl]

Nice, though with the lack of monster destruction traps. I think another Lightning Vortex would be helpful. Maybe try taking out Nobleman?

[Solar Blaze]

drop the 2 mecha dog marron and + 2 more soul and purtiy.

also take out the 2 Freed and 1 Goryu for 2 Zaborg and another Ohka.

you should also try and fit in the Light field spell. Give your monsters a extra kick.

i might try something similar to this for local's and see how it goes.

[MasterOfShadows]

I'm going to have to leave Freed in as the main strategy involves removing my monsters from play to kill things with. With Freed gone, a lot of my monster-dumping cards would have to disappear along with Return, completely shifting the focus of the deck from what it is supposed to be.

[stevecoldsteveaustin]

- 1 foolish
- 1 dog
+ 1 Soul
+ 1 D fusion

This will help if you want to make it a return deck. I would also try zaborg but dont what else i would consider taking out.

Dropping Mecha-Dog, I understand. Adding Dimension Fusion, I explained why I decided to exclude it. Most decks played now can remove monsters much faster than I can and do. I'd rather be swarming the field alone than having my opponent do it, too.

The Foolish Burial is like Armageddon Knight for this deck, loading my Graveyard for Freed the Brave Wanderer's effect. It also helps Disciple of the Forbidden Spell's effect go off faster.

Any other suggestions?

[tinytim]

Light and Darkness Dragon would work if you can keep field presence


honestly, i agree with prime material dragon, he is such a pain to get rid of, and opponents who don't think carefully with him out there will make mistakes

[MasterOfShadows]

Okay, that almost settles it. Light and Darkness Dragon goes in somewhere, but what shall it replace?

Also, are there any useful suggestions (other than Marshmallon / Gellenduo - I don't have them yet)?

[stevecoldsteveaustin]

My bad I didnt read that. Sorry

[MasterOfShadows]

Does anyone know of a way to speed this deck up while retaining the original theme? Decent draw cards, deck thinners? Does anyone know of any that can help this deck?

Additional Comment:

Bump bump bump to the top we go!

Additional Comment:

Would Dimensional Alchemist work in this deck alongside Freed as a type of removal engine (in a sense)? It would help to thin the deck out, but the problem would be that I may remove some important cards. Do the benefits outweigh the costs?

[IceHaven]

maybe some hand collapse for draw power? i dunno, itz to good 4 me. lol.

[MasterOfShadows]

Hand Collapse may help with speed issues. I may use that. Thank you.

Anything else?

For a deck fix, you really need to create a thread for it. Then people can fix it for you. I can't do it from here.
