Once upon a time, deep in the forest,

where spooky creatures lived,

and mystical plants dwell,

there was a fire statue

that marked the location to where legendary warriors are buried. 

But on this night, there were two spirit summoners - voodoo men

They were performing a ritual to revive the warriors because the town needed protection from approaching enemies. Next to the voodoo men were masked dancers,

who were dancing to the voice of the wailing singers

whilst the beseechers who seek the warriors’ protection,

chanted and stared nervously as they felt that this was their last hope. 

Then suddenly, the earth shook and lightning struck,

hitting a turtle by the wayside.

Then ground opened up,

and the warriors were revived!

Like a tornado, they swept their enemies away,

and the town enjoyed peace ever since.

Shaddolls took a big hit in this format, but they are no pushovers. The game seems to be getting faster, yet I like the control Winda has on games. I think the best approach to playing Shaddolls is to focus on the flip effects. Here are some cards to help:

Monsters (22)

1x Pot of the Forbidden

3x Shaddoll Beast

3x Shaddoll Dragon

3x Shaddoll Squamata

1x Archfiend Eater of Nefariousness

2x Summoner of Illusions

3x Shaddoll Hedgehog

3x Shaddoll Falco

1x Charon, the Underworld Boatman

2x Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter

1x Allure of Darkness

1x Raigeki

1x One day of Peace

2x Shallow Grave

2x Shaddoll Fusion

1x Shaddoll Core

1x Solemn Warning

Extra Deck (15)

1x Gaia Drake, The Universal Force

2x El Shaddoll Shekinaga

3x El Shaddoll Winda

1x Red Nova Dragon

1x Black Rose Dragon

1x Goyo Guardian

1x Armades Keeper of Illusion

1x Dark World Rebellion

1x Performage Trapeze Magician

1x Castel the Skyblaster Musketeer

With all the powerful effects that these new yugioh cards have, sometiimes I wonder why do they still make normal monsters. I think it’s almost impossible to have a competitive normal deck, but I still try to see how many normal monsters I can run in a deck,  yet still give my opponent a hard time. I play around with normal monsters, because I believe it helps improve my choices for supporting cards with any idea I have for any deck. Here are three cards to hit the TCG scene this year:

So I made a deck using 8 normal monsters. 8/17 monsters pretty good I think:

Monsters (17)

2x Mystery Shell Dragon

3x Phantom Gryphon

3x Gem-Knight Garnett

1x Shaddoll Dragon

3x Masked Chameleon

1x Rescue Rabbit

1x Glow-Up Bulb

3x Box of Friends

Spells (15)

1x One for One

3x Unexpected Dai

1x Raigeki

2x Polymerization

1x Silent Doom

2x Dark Hole

1x Soul Charge

1x Dragon’s Mirror

1x Swing of Memories

2x Mystical Space Typhoon

Traps (8)

1x Bottomless Trap Hole

1x Pinpoint Guard

1x Torrential Tribute

1x Compulsory Evacuation Device

1x Fiendish Chain

1x Call of the Haunted

1x Solemn Warning

1x Waboku

Noteworthy Supports:

Masked Chameleon targets a monster in the grave with 0 defense. Therefore he can pick up Gryphon, Garnett or Shell Dragon to Synchro Summon a level 8 monster!

Box of Friends special summons 2 normal monsters with 0 defense when destroyed. Its’ because of this card, I choose 2 Dark Holes for this recipe. I can use the summoned monsters for 2 level 4 xyzs!

I’ve started to toy with wind monsters, because I am looking for other ideas for Dark Simorgh. The Tricky will always be my favorite wind monster. Well, In my research, I’ve  stumbled on a little nugget called Swift Birdman Joe. This might be a close second. Yet, it’s the effect of Speedroid Menko that pulled me to learn about these wind machines.

This effect is pretty sweet! I see it as a game equalizer. So, since this is a machine card, I wondered what ways I can take advantage of that factor. Of course! Machina!!! So here’s a decklist idea I’d like to call:

Iron Wind

Monsters (26)

1x Machina Megaform

3x Machina Fortress

3x Machina Gearframe

3x Speedroid Double Yoyo

3x Expressroid

3x Speedroid Menko

3x Speedroid Beigomax

3x Speedroid Taketomborg

3x Speedroid Three-Eyed Dice

1x Speedroid Red-Eyed Dice

Spells (8)

1x Raigieki

1x Soul Charge

1x Foolish Burial

3x Speed Recovery

2x Mystical Space Typhoon

Traps (6)

1x Waboku

1x Bottomless Trap Hole

1x Torrential Tribute

1x Compulsory Evacuation Device

1x Solemn Warning

1x Fiendish Chain

Extra Deck:

Well, Here’s where things get tricky. This time I will only suggest noteworthy adds due to this monsters effect:

If you activate this effect, you will have to summon a wind monster from the extra deck for the rest of the turn.  Therefore, good monsters for the Extra Deck are:

Mist Wurm

Stardust Dragon

Clear Wing  Synchro Dragon

Lightning Chidori

Castel, the Skyblaster Musketeer

Old Entity Hastorr
