I'm waiting for them to make any kind of awesome competitive deck that's not Warrior/Dragon/Spellcaster/Fiend/Machine based.

Maha, it's kind of hard to find one on the DS/PSP without both. I'm just going to recommend Tag Force Special on the PSP. It has an english menu + card patch, it has no D-Wheels. Tag Duels are there for significant plot events sadly but it's still a recent enough game to have Nekroz in it.

Thanks, gonna give this a shot! If it's still too gimmicky for me I guess I can always go back to the GBA games.

so I kinda want to get into this again, does anyone have any suggestions for a deck that's not only reasonably effective, but also relatively simple to use, and has a theme to it?

well I meant a full deck list, cause I'm terrible at looking up that sort of thing, and is that a legitimately good deck type, or some kind of joke(a quick glance over at the wiki indicates that the "Wight" series is decently developed, but I can't tell if it's any good in the current meta)?

Skull servants are fun but they are completely useless in the current meta. If you're interested in making a competitive deck I can do a write up for you, but be prepared to lay out low three figures for a cheap meta deck (100-200), and higher three figures for a top tier deck (600-the sky).

well for the moment this would just be for YGOPro/DevPro, also I don't need a Tournament winning deck, just one that won't get stomped too hard by people who are much better acquainted with the game in it's current form(last played even semi-regularly shortly before Synchro was introduced), so basically something that's good but not complicated, and I definitely want to avoid the sort of decks that are One Turn KO types, cause that just isn't fun at all

Well, if cost isn't an issue, one option is Kosmos. They're one of the top-tier decks currently, and their theme is "Wizard of Oz + Star Wars", with their witches summoning up spaceships from hyperspace to blow monsters to bits.

My personal pet deck is Rock Stun, which is "sand and rock monsters clog up everyone and everything and keep you from doing poo poo while they pound on you", but they can be tricky not so much because they're complicated as because their interactions with some of the more complicated decks get... weird.

My pet deck is Ultra Athletes, whose gimmick is "At the end of the inning (main phase), you swap them out."

Here's a deck profile. I haven't watched it (and I'm at work so I can't grab my own deck profile), so I don't know how great it actually is.

Another deck I like is Aqua Actresses, which is fish who utilize proper stagework to become powerful. (The 300 Attack Level 1 Guppy can get up to 5400 using just archetype cards)

Again, deck profile I haven't watched:

Not a suggestion because as far as I know they've always been awful but I really like the Venom stuff. It's hard but summoning a 5000+ ATK literal deity that is near impossible to kill is great. Plus I like the theme of wear your opponent down until they die a slow death, and if that isn't working call for divine intervention and pray it works.

What I'm saying is they need to make more venom cards. I mean you could easily make a thematically appropriate set of priest/esses as pendulum monsters.

Venom is seriously the coolest theme with the coolest boss monster. I guess it's a LITTLE better now because King of the Feral Imps? But yeah they should go back to it and make some legacy support.

If you want to get adjusted to what the game will be like in a Month, I suggest either Pendulum Magicians OR Performapals + Performages (Will be tier 1, if not 0 when the next set comes out in January).

Or if you are an anti-fun haver and just want to win, there is Floodgate.dek Qliphort :v:

Warning: The D/D structure deck has been added to YGOPro so EVERYONE is playing D/Ds now. That deck is going to be high tiered, mark my words. D/D/D Siegfried is an insane thing.

He opened Psyframe Circuit, which was hard as hell to play around.

I took it from some no-name YGO channel I found while I was looking into Shiranui. It needs some work (mainly needs better backrow hate in it, and the extra deck needs some work). If you make any tweaks or changes, let me know so I can try them?

I'm probably going to cut down on the Uni-Zombies, too. I haven't gotten much use out of them at all.

Tellarknights are unpopular, but they have more tops than anything other than Kozmo/PePe this format and can be found for super cheap. You'll need some pricey tech cards to complete it however (Time-space trap hole and anti-spell fragrance).

Right now probably pendulum magicians since you just need to buy 3 of the master of pendulum structure deck, which would be around 30 bucks. Except you would still need so shell out a bit for odd eyes fusion, and odd eyes vortex dragon. Another alternative would be the monarch structure deck which releases in january. I dont think you need any extra cards for that so you could just get 3 of those structure decks together for a very good deck.

I haven't even bothered making a 'real' deck yet. I'm running three of everything plus three Bear/Tenki/Tensu and a bunch of staple backrow.

I'll wait until we get closer to SHVI and see if we're getting the three missing cards or not before I build the deck for real.

Raid Raptors might finally be good now.

If you can't break 3500 attack with your deck, then hahaha you can't beat Ultimate Falcon, which the deck can make fairly consistently, especially with the buffs Last Strix got going from the anime to the real game.

I guess anything is good if you throw enough support at it. Except for Mecha Phantom Beasts. They'll never be good.

Elf no Sei Kenshi (Literally Elven Holy Swordsman, TCG would be “Celtic Sacred Guard” or so such)
Level 4 EARTH Warrior-Type Effect Monster
ATK 2100
DEF 700
(This card is always treated as “Celtic Guardian”)
(1) If you have 1 or more cards in your hand, this card cannot attack
(2) Once per turn, during your Main Phase: You can Special Summon 1 “Celtic Guard” monster from your hand.
(3) When this card inflicts battle damage to your opponent due to it attacking: You can draw cards equal to the number of “Celtic Guard” monsters you control.

Haven't played since the last DS game came out. If that Legacy of the Duelist game was released for Steam or Android I'd probably play it, but it looks like I'm just not. Konami appears to have looked at the concept of 'power creep' and figured they could do that better than anyone else.
