The Specialists of Mastermind Thread!! The Place to come to if you need help!

After a LOOONNG recruiting program, I have set this up. Recruiting will still take place, but respond ONLY on the Recruiting thread if you want to become a member. The rules apply on that thread.

This is all we have for the time being. If you want help on other subjects like Monarchs, DAD, PCM etc, then we will all pitch in our ideas until we find a suitable expert on that specific Area.

Few rules:

1. We can only repsond to one request at a time in a specific section. So for example, If we get 4 requests on Orignality, then we will respond to the person who made their request first, and so on.

2) NO SPAMMING or flaming one another, or insulting the Specialists.

3) If you appear rude to any of our members while making your request, then you will most likely be ignored.

Important new Notice: Please read!

Only Masterminds are permitted to give help to those who ask for it, and nobody else. If you want to give advice, you may apply for the Mastermind board on the Recruitment Thread. Anybody who isnt a Listed Mastermind who offers advice will be reported for not listening to the rules.


4) New rule: PLEASE use proper grammar and spelling in your posts!! It is difficult to read sometimes you know...


Right. Take care all, and Have fun!

My questions are about Batterymen. So I guess my first one counts as originality(?)

Anyway, what do you guys think is the best way to use batterymen? I personally think the OTK kinda sucks since Inferno Reckless Summon is supposed to only hit 1 monster in the whole deck. I don't think 3 copies of Batteryman AA works well enough with 3 copies of Inferno to make a whole deck around. I think the deck should focus more on swarm and have the OTK as an alternate win strategy(I would run 1 copy of IRS, 2 max). Does this make sense or am I just retarded?

My second question goes to JerkJerk for originality.
How do you think Honest and /or Cyber Valley would work in the Batteryman deck?
Other cards I've been thinking aboot are Card Trooper and Bountiful Artemis(for a counter trap build which would be really anti meta and Bountiful Artemis adds to the number of lights for Guardian of Order). What do you think?

I personnaly think that the AA Combo only needs one, if any at all, of IRS. Un;ess you are bringing out 3 Batteryman D's or another low-grade monster. The combo itself more than likely will only ever be needed as a Topdeck and/or a Game Winning move if you know you have it at all.

As for Honest/Cyber Valley, they would both work, however, the catch is with Cyber Valley you would be basically more oriented around a Valley engine, rather than the Battery's amazig recurrsion engine. Honest is just an amazing fit, but I find 3 just becomes stupid unless your running IRS, then you can just bring multiples to the field and start the Defensive Offense.

Batteries in my Opinion cannot run large amounts of counters when you are using maybe 3 Battery Packs, among other cards of recurrsion and Solemn Judgement is the only Counter I can see working well in the deck. That makes Bountiful a major "No-No" in IMO.

Card Trooper is a natural fit when you have Limit Reverse (This deck is nuts with Portable and Limit Reverse) and even makes Disk Commander a Viable fit as a target for something like Foolish if you are running it. So if the case is your running Limit, Sangan, Commander, and Card Trooper make a natural 3 picks for this deck and they all have purpose. Of course Disc is a preference choice, he'll rarely be in a position where he isn't a Live card or a nice +2.

If you want an aggresive choice for Light Monsters to put in this deck, you may want to try Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter or even Light and Darkness Dragon as Trade In Fodder and a more controlling aspect when you have all this Tribute Fodder on the field.

Hope that answers your questions Ansem

Next?

My burn/stall deck is very competitive and out performs almost every deck type without much resistance and can be considered an original deck. The question I have is should I add Volcanic Queen to the deck to inflict more damage to my opponent faster and can be another form of monster remove along with Blast Sphere and Lava Golem? What cards would you recommend running with Volcanic Queen. Thanks!
