what? i didnt understand that

Dear 250rider,

First up, watch the language, after all we dont want those to be cursing online. Anyway this deck of yours is sort of like the new structure deck Invincible Fortress, okay first take out the hane hanes because once it gets attack, you'll end up losing one, if you are going traditional, please take out one of your mystical space tyhoons, you are only allowed one in a deck. I should save your LP, replace Brain Control with Change of Heart, this will work for the tradional format. Call of the Haunted will help bring back any rock monster from your grave, time for defense. Invigoration, nah! Replace it with more power, how about placing in United We Stand or even Mage Power as well, this powers up ATK and DEF. Finally, you could use some Hallowed Life Barrier or some Draining Sheilds fore defense and LP. Okay, thats all I have for you now, so good luck in the tournaments.

Sincerelly,
Zuo Ci :D

[250r rider]

thx for the info zuo ci

do u guys have any ideas about what cards i should take out? i feel like i have too many.

btw my deck isnt just sort of like invincible fortress it is invincible fortress with changes :)

el bumpo

why do messages need 10 characters?

[CdBd]

Ok this is what i would do to thin your deck down alot. Take out all the spells and traps and start over by just putting in the staples example:
Swords of Revealing Light
Mystical Space Tyhpoon
Monster Reborn
Premature Burial
Brain Control
Graceful Charity
Pot of Greed
Forceful Sentry
for the spells and then if you have room add in like 1 support card for the monsters

and then for the traps keep it nice and simple like for example
Sakuretsu Armors
Bottomless Trap Holes or Trap Holes
Wabokus or Magic Cylinder
Torrential Tribute
Mirror Force
traps like these make it easier for you to have direct attacks and if you can get your hands on some, some Smashing Grounds or if you don't have them, Fissures or Hammer Shots. This is a traditional deck and I see no Sangan or Witch of the Black Forest, Magician of Faith or Magical Merchants. You also have no draw power so maybe get the new Jayden starter deck and take out the Skelengel and add it to this deck. Two Nobleman of Crossouts are needed when you have them on the run. Heavy Storm and or Dust Tornado for spell/trap removal if your opponet wants to try something funny. Scapegoat for defense when you need it and Call of the Haunted when you don't have the Monster Reborn yet. Snatch Steal for greedy for easy tribute summoning. You could add in Breaker and or Mobius the Frost Monarch for more spell/trap removal. Most of these cards can be found in the new starter decks that came out a while ago. Even if your cards are common or holo they are still gonna do the same thing so try and get the commons since they are easier to find.

thx for the help

-x1 Labriynth Wall
+x 1 Gigantes

[Zuo Ci]

To make your deck well balanced, 20 monsters in your deck along with 20 spell/trap cards. If you have less monsters in your deck, you wont be able to attack or defend. The rest is up to you.

Sincerelly,
Zuo Ci :o

-42 cards in total....
-Well, what about using some staples like Breaker and D. D. Warrior Lady?? I edited the deck into an Exxod Burn deck....

[Zuo Ci]

:D Wow! Now those are some powerful cards you want to add in, okay it seems you took my advice, and like I said the rest is up to you, your deck is now powerful! Good luck dueling out there!

Sincerelly,
Zuo Ci :D

also, if ur gonna be usin an invincible fortress deck, you should not only have a lot of rock monsters, but a way to protect them. What you need is to put in a raregold armor, that way when you get out exxod, you equip it to him and your opponent can't attack other monsters, so that way you can keep flip summoning your monsters and using their effects to flip them face down, so that way, you can take your opponent out with almost nothing but exxod's effect. Also, a nightmare's steelcage should help out wonderously (it did in my defence deck)
