Constructing a Fiend Deck

[Synthesis70]

Hello, everyone.

I have recently joined these forums and I have collected Yu-Gi-Oh cards in the past. However, I have never created a deck to duel with and my first deck I wanted to create was fiend type deck. Although, I've read that fiend decks aren't exactly too ideal to start with. So my question is should I start with a fiend deck or not? If not, what would you suggest I should start with to duel?

Also, I've created a fiend deck that I will use and appreciate any feedback from the community.

Fiend Deck: Total- (40)

Monsters (20):

Helpoemer
Dark Ruler Hades
Dark Jeroid x2
Newdoria x2
Giant Germ x3
Sangan
Marshmallon
Night Assailant
Dark Necrofear
Mystic Tomato x3
Headless Knight x2
Snipe Hunter
Cyber Dragon

Magic (10):

Monster Reborn
Brain Control
Dark Room of Nightmare
Enemy Controller
Mystical Space Typhoon
Smashing Ground
Yami
Lightning Vortex x2
Heavy Storm

Trap (10):

Barrel Behind the Door x2
Trap of Board Eraser
Coffin Seller
Needle Wall
Dust Tornado
Bottomless Traphole
Mirror Force
Sakuretsu Armor x2

Also, I used Dark Room of Nightmare because it inflicts damage to an opponent's life points when you inflict life points by an effect or spell, other than battle damage. Now, I have trap cards, such as Barrel Behind the Door and Coffin Seller and Needle Wall that inflict damage and this may seem like a great combination. And, Marshmallon inflicts lifepoints with an effect and is combined with this spell card.

It's been a long time since I've fixed a fiend deck. This is a modification of something I used to dominate with. It should be very helpful these days. It has draw power, monster removal and a some nasty little tricks I loved when I was using fiends. Good luck. Also, pm a guy named FiendMasterCVN. He's a mod and one of if not the, best fiend duelist on the forums. He's got a guide and lots of knowledge on the subject. I'm sure he'd be more than willing to help.

Thank you very much for the response, himura. I will definately test this deck out and learn how to use these fiends. However, it seems that a fiend deck requires more knowledge of the game and more skill. Should I try to use a more straightforward deck such as a dragon deck?

-2 headless knight

+2 ha des

-2 barrel behind the door (it's banned:))

great deck!
9/10

hey, can you check out the deck in my sig??? thanks....

[himura]

Barrel behind the door isn't banned, it just is too situational.

Synthesis, the fact is that Fiends are a deck that just requires some focus and some trickiness. Please don't give up on this. Dragon decks are a lot harder to build because the cards are rarer and harder to get. I urge you to just try it and see how it works and you'll be quite suprised.

Good luck.

[Synthesis70]

Oh, the Barrel Behind the Door is banned? I'll take them out then. Also, this would mean that I will need to remove my strategy with Dark Room of Nightmare so I will follow himura's guideline. Thanks again, though.

[himura]

BARREL BEHIND THE DOOR IS NOT BANNED IT JUST ISN'T THAT GREAT!!!!

I just checked and I'm a level 1 judge on top of it!

Anyway, I'm glad you've chosen to go with my suggestions.

[Tentensbeastly]

Go with Dark Worlds. Go with DARK WORLDS. I love them..........

[layne95]

you should probaby try yubel it is good and inexpensive if you like fiends

[Synthesis70]

I've also checked the official website for the forbidden card list and I had the idea that Barrel Behind the Door wasn't banned and your right himura. And, thank you to the other posters for those suggestions. I've read about Yubel decks and using cards such as C.E.D to help evolve each card to the next level, but it seems too advanced to begin dueling with. However, himura I do have a dragon deck outline that I can P.M you with. I would like to know if it would be expensive to make and how effective it would be.

[himura]

Go ahead and pm me. I'd love to help you out. It is nice to work on casual decks from time to time. I look forward to it.

[Synthesis70]

Alright, thank you. I will send you the P.M right away, himura.
