Black luster solider is the main reason to make the deck twilight.

-2 Call Of The Haunted
-1 Card Destruction

+2 cards from the sky
+1 Trap Dustshoot

trap dusthoot in a format of Heavy Storm is a top tier card.

Call Of The Haunted seems "meh" in this deck.

[anarchylord]

Cards from the sky is very bad in T.G agents.

Where are your books, team solemn, wonder magician, BLS?

[troza]

Books? Book of Moon... I forgot about him! Trap Dustshoot is major want for me

Call Of The Haunted... I think it is really really good. It helps a lot because The Agent of Creation - Venus doesn't bring tuners out and sometimes I need 4 Mystical Shine Ball to synchron summon and Xyz summon in the same turn

[troza]

Bump... with a question: What about Celestial Transformation with Archlord Kristya? As long as you have something in your hand, it can be a great way of stopping special summon of your opponent for one turn... and in the end you get your Archlord Kristya back to the hand!

[drillwarrior]

i don't like the idea because it seems very situational. if you don't have kristya.....

but i guess you could try it :|

[troza]

If I don't have Archlord Kristya, you could use it to summon a tuner to give you a better play with the Mystical Shine Ball That is why I asked.

But you're right. Seems a bit situational and to special summon from hand just for some XYZ or Synchron might be the wrong play as you loose almost all your hand

[Nichigo]

Here's what I would do:

- 1 Archlord Kristya: This card is arguable the dead-est card in the deck next to a shine ball. Granted, it wins you games, but in T.G.A's with less initial setup/draw, I'd opt to only run one....esp since you're not running Heralds at the moment.

- 1 Burial from Different Dimension: This card doesn't work very well in the deck because there isn't much graveyard action that goes on. If you're using this, you're probably already in a good position to win. It's a win MORE card.

-1 Pot of Duality: this is preference, but I like the balance of 2x POD's. TG agents tend to SS more often than Pure.

-2 Call of the Haunted: not a fan of this card in this deck with all the backrow destruction.



+1 BLS: No explanation needed

+1 Genex Ally Birdman: combos really well with this deck.

+2 Herald of Orange Light: I'm assuming you're not running this because you don't have them.

+1 Creature Swap: this is amazing in TGA's.


I'd also try to find room for Tragoedia and Dustshoot...but that would require cutting spells/traps.

[troza]

Thanks Nichigo.

Truth is that Burial from a Different Dimension is in the side deck for a Creature Swap. Genex Ally Birdman is out just because I barely used him when I had it in the deck. You're right about Herald of Orange Light and that's the same reason I don't have Trap Dustshoot either, as well as Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning.

As for -1 Archlord Kristya... it is kind of hard to do it... I only need one... that's true... but an early draw of him could be that good (because Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier can send the 4 fairy's to the grave). I just think he is amazing. And with T.G. Engine... what about tribute summon Archlord Kristya with your special summoned T.G. Striker and T.G. Warwolf? Seems good to me. Still... That's one thing I have in mind... that must be a needed move.

About the -1 Pot of Duality... I think that might be a good move. I only used the 3 of them one one duel... but still... the first turn Pot of Duality is very very good to get the missing piece to start with The Agent of Mystery - Earth.

About Call Of The Haunted... is has been an amazing card for me. Getting a tuner back to abuse with The Agent of Creation - Venus and the Mystical Shine Ball... or chain it by bringing back a T.G. monster or Sangan to search... I really think this is a great card for this deck and I use it almost every duel to my advantage.

Another change I will need might be Pot of Avarice... To get the extra deck cards and the Mystical Shine Ball to the deck when the duel takes too long

[Nichigo]

Fair points.

The only ones I want to address are the Kristya point and the Birdman.

Yeah, he's good to have during the opening hand, but you have a lower chance than the other versions of the deck to have the setup you need when you actually draw the Kristya. IF you find it's working for you, then keep it. I found out I was drawing him dead alot, so I dropped one. I actually dropped both at one point, but he's too good not to have Oh and while getting him out with striker + warwolf might be beneficial on occasion...I probably would not go for that play in most cases. It's a huge minus play that can go sour with a simple destructive trap or Dark Hole.

As far as Birdman, you probably never drew him cuz you only ran one. I run 2, and it's simply amazing. OPening Venus and Birdman gives you endless possibilities.

Try to get your hands on Heralds for sure...it's amazing @_@
