dark bribe should probably be solemn strike or scolding

also crush card is horrible right now

twin twister > MST; and main deck maxx "c". never worry about siding versus gimmick decks like exodia or FTKs because if they're built right your side doesn't matter.

raigeki is a side card right now unless you have easy access to dweller for kozmo

consider siding forbidden chalice to out first turn infinity/rafflesia boards, not sure why you're siding zaborg, caius is better vs. lightsworn or anything using it as an engine anyway

also where's erebus? that's the card to out kozmo ships, pendulums, scales, etc.
I really used all this advice quite a lot...

update: guys I really really like noble knights

it doesn't take a lot to get going and when you've got loving king arthur out there with 3500 attack triple wielding magical swords and your opponent realizes they have to dump at least two spell removal cards to even have a chance of taking out this one monster

it's great

:hfive:

I love NK because they require a certain degree of skill and you can made a ton of different plays with them. While certainly is awesome to have a fully equipped Artorigus in field, is also incredibly easy to lost him these days (as people helpfully pointed out already) Even more now with Monarchs and Kaiju running rampant.

So, ideally you want to keep at least two knights at all times so in the case one of them goes down, the other retrieve his arms and thus, it gives you some breathing space to plan your next play. While Solemn Notice is always useful, I've found that Solemn Scolding puts a lot of work in this deck. Being able to negate effects is invaluable.

If you haven't tried, you should add Brilliant Fusion, a Gem-Knight and Seraphinite to the deck, getting a second NS is fantastic but the biggest use is being able to send Gwenwhyfar to the graveyard (or Lady of The Lake/Vanilla Art) if you run Black Laundsallyn. I've had a lot of success with it.

Good thing Sangan and Witch of the Black forest are Banned :suicide:

Besides, there are all other kinds of Exodia, including the Brilliant Fusion/Gale Dogra build that has gotten popular recently.

Ban the head, if a piece is on the left side -1 allowed, if it's a leg -1 allowed. Just make it really confusing for people.

Modern Exodia decks using Summoned Lord, or Exodia-Quasar are actually cool and good. If your alt-win-condition doesn't interact with the opponent, then you're playing this game wrong.

So Yu-gi-goons, I have started playing this silly and broken game after seeing monarchs are in a structure deck and got a lot of new support, since back in the day all I did was jam the frog and macro monarchs and hell of a good time. Now, I purchased 3 of the decks and got a couple of singles (Caius and Thestalos Mega-Monarch dudes, Kuraz, ROTA) but not sure what other singles I need to pad the deck out with. Have you goons got any words of wisdom?

Vanity's Emptiness is basically mandatory in the current meta. You should also get some Twin Twisters, as one of the best decks in the format right now is a Pendulum deck. I also like Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning in Monarchs, since a well-built Monarch deck is gonna be mostly Light and Dark.

Wouldn't Vanity's Fiend be arguably better in a deck with 3 copies of Edea and Eidos and a ton of ways to get tribute fusion fodder? Black Luster Soldier seems interesting, that card is actually legal now? Oh, how the power level of YGO has changed.

You can actually do both. The Monarch deck I'm building runs 2 Vanity's Fiend, 2 Majesty's Fiend, and a Vanity's Emptiness. It's limited to 1 because it's a very good card and sometimes, you need that effect but can't or don't want to tribute something first.

not really. every deck in top cuts don't play it anymore. unless you are tellarknight or maybe something like d/d/d or volcanic; will probably consider it, at best.

the rest of this is true, though. twin twisters is great and BLS hasn't been good since shaddoll but right now it has a lot of potential.

also pick up Maxx "c"s and effect veiler. if money isn't an issue for you: ghost ogre and snow rabbit.
