"Bad" Decks... Melodious (pre CORE)

Don't expect anything special. It's Melodious...

Main reason I think it's "decent"

dats a big bish

 It "D.D. Crows" 3 cards and gets bigger and can be even bigger thanks to Sonata

Most decks use the Graveyard, so....

3 Soprano the Melodious Diva
3 Sonata the Melodious Diva
3 Canon the Melodious Diva
3 Aria the Melodious Diva

2 Honest

14

-3 Aria mainly because Opera/Tam-tam aren't out yet.

-Until Crystal Rose, I'm not playing ANY high level Melodious, period.

-Why no Elegy? because it's LV5.

3 Upstart Goblin
3 First Movement Solo
2 Mystical Space Typhoon
1 Book of Moon
1 Raigeki
1 Soul Charge

11 Spells

- Upstart
   -The life gain doesn't matter.
   -This is a "combo" deck
   -I've tried "actual" cards in it's place, they were bad (yep, I said it)

-MST because random sh!t ruins your life

3 Powerful Rebirth
2 Breakthrough Skill
2 Mirror Force
2 Traptrix Trap Hole Nightmare
1 Time-Space Trap Hole
1 Compulsory Evacuation Device
1 Solemn Warning
1 Bottomless Trap Hole
1 Torrential Tribute
1 Venitys' Emptiness

15

SURPRISE! The traps are the most important #kappa

On their own, Melodious are weak as f*ck, so the traps do the fighting.

-Trap Hole Nightmare is decent because MOST monsters that matter against this deck (Nekroz of Trishula, Exciton Knight) activate their effect the same turn and gets it the f*ck outta here

-Time-Space Trap Hole doesn't destroy (and I got it for 3 bucks)

-Breakthrough Skill over Fiendish Chain? Read Aria

-No emptiness? for you to do anything remotely cute, you NEED to special summon

-Powerful Rebirth brings back Aria (and Soprano) in defense mode and is NOT bound by it.

EXTRA

3 Schuberta the Melodious Maestra
1 Bloom Diva the Melodious Choir

1 Fairy Cheer Girl
1 Starliege Paladynamo
1 Bujintei Tuskuyomi
1 Constellar Omega

1 Gagaga Cowboy
1 Castel the Skyblaster Musketeer
1 Abyss Dweller
1 Number 80: Rhapsody in Berserk
1 Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon
1 Numnber 101: Silent Honor ARK

Because you're playing LIGHT monster(s), you have the distinct privilege of using Fairy Cheer Girl (card draw, they're also fairies; boosted by Sonata), Starliege (which "combos" with Ragnazero; also boosted by Sonata), Tuskuyomi (draw for a deck that doesn't gain advantage easily) and Omega (I always play it in decks I can play it in)

- Exciton is a contradiction and STILL fairly expensive.

- Castel is usually better than 101, but I like having both (you never know)

- No Lavalval Chain?
  - It's a nombo with Solo.
  - Soul Charge is limited (but if it wasn't... n*gga..)

Sidedecking ideas? (for those that give a f*ck)

Effect Veiler: when Breakthrough Skill is bad, or not enough.

Mind Crush: not stopped by MST

Artifact Lancea/Imperial Iron Wall: I'll just leave this here..

De-Fusion, Shaddolls duh (mainly Winda, and maybe Shekhinaga)

Thunder King: This deck doesn't search AT ALL



Next "bad" deck. Ghostrick

UPDATE 1/8/15

Primary reason for changes: Denko Sekka. This card exists and is played... enough. I don't want to auto-lose to it.

Also, Harpies have S/T removal covered so, Dark Hole along with Raigeki SHOULD cover the monsters. Burning Abyss/Shaddoll effects aside, even if you still played effect negation, it only stops ONE effect, which is a waste of space.

The few traps I do run are good enough, and Hysteric Party is a win-con on it's own.

EXTRA

1 Harpies Pet Phantasmal Dragon
1 Castel the Skyblaster Musketeer
1 Evilswarm Exciton Knight
1 Number 103: Ragnazero
1 Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon
1 Ice Beast Zerofyne
2 Lightning Chidori
1 Daigusto Emeral
1 Number 82 Heartlandraco
1 Number 80: Rhapsody in Beserk
1 Abyss Dweller
1 Number 80: Crazy Box
1 Gagaga Cowboy
1 Lavalval Chain

Primary reason for change: MORE Rank 4's. Delteros requires THREE materials. Not good as a defensive card. Phantasmal does a better job AND it's 6000 over 3 turns.

I only use and want to have 1 Castel (personal preference). Depending on format, you could replace Crazy Box with a second.
