The art of deckbuilding
Posted On 05/16/2008 17:55:33 by gamer5793 - Read 11064 time(s)
Have you ever wondered why the same people continuously top shonen jumps? Im sure alot of you assume stacking is involved which may be the case but i beilieve its something else.  What makes a player like jerry wang continuously top 8 is his deckbuilding skill. Whenever he goes to a shonen jump theres always a couple people piloting builds  he made. In this blog ill tell you my expierience with deckbuilding and how a few card changes can put you on top of the game. My last blog was about what i believed to be a shonen jump quality deck heres the list
2x caius the shadow monarch
2x cyber dragon
2x exiled force
2x d.d crow
3x blue thunder t45
3x guardian of order
1x card trooper
1x disk commander
1x sangan
1x dd warrior lady
1x ducker mobile cannon
1x the calculator
spells
1x mst
1x heavy storm
1x reinforcements of the army
2x trade in
2x hand destruction
1x premature burial
1x monster reborn
traps
3x limit reverse
3x solemn judgement
1x mirror force
1x torential tribute
1x pheonix wing wind blast
3x reckless greed 
The next day i took this deck and got second at my local. I had decided then that i would change the deck with more and faster ways to get disk comander into my hand and then into the graveyard. Here is the new decklist i came up with that slaughtered every opponet it faced the next days local.
2x guardian of order
2x blue thunder t45
1x dd warrior lady
2x dd crow
2x cyber dragon
1x zaborg the thunder monarch
2x exiled force
1x ducker mobile cannon
2x caius the shadow monarch
1x sangan
1x card trooper
1x disk commander
1x raiza the storm monarch
1x e hero stratos
1x the calculator
traps
1x trap dustshoot
3x limit reverse
1x torrential tribute
2x reckless greed
2x solemn judgement
1x mirror force
spells
1x monster reborn
1x lightning vortex
1x brain control
1x reinforcements of the army
2x hand destruction
1x premature burial
1x mystical space typhoon
1x trade in
1x heavy storm
Now lets see just exactly what makes the deck better the old deck revolved around guardian of order too much with too many dead draws either because of guardian of order or a useless trade in. The addition of stratos in the deck is what makes disk commander easy to get and pretty much makes sure you get ur disk before they get there crow. Even if they do crow theres tons of targets for limit reverse generally pick one that will give u a card in return for picking it obviously with disk commander its ur clear choice. There are alot more finishers this time around that are pretty easy to get out. Ill take the zaborg out for another caius but i lost it.
Now look at your deck and decide just what exactly your deck is trying to accomplish and how its going to win and then think about cards that will make that happen quicker sometimes a change of 2 or 3  cards can make all the difference. Remember you want a good blend of speed and control so solemn judgment is a staple in all of my decks. Now hopefully with a few tips and looking at how the decklist changed in my own deck youll be able to build yourself a faster better deck. Also feel free to netdeck this 1 if you like
