Yeah, rituals are fun, my brother uses them to good effect, dumping some of his high level monsters in the graveyard with it, then searching them back out. In fact, despite the fact that Rituals have been mostly overshadowed by Synchros, a Ritual Buster still keeps a place in my side deck.

A few of you have already seen this in PMs but anyway here's an updated want list. My haves haven't really changed though.

1x Relinquished.
2x Black Illusion Ritual.
2x Djinn Presider of Rituals.
2x Armageddon Knight.
3x Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands.
2x Fires of Doomsday.
2x My Body As a Shield.
1x Preparation of Rites.
1x Scapegoat.
3x Royal Decree.

OK, I need a rule clarification. There is a rule in the rule book that says that a deck can not have more than three duplicates of a card. Does this mean no more than three of the same card, or no more than 3 pairs of the same card? I have been confused by this for years.

No more than three of any one card with the same name can be included in the deck.

This is especially confusing with the Harpy Ladies, since they all have different names, but are treated as the same card.

EDIT: Ninja'd

No more than three of the same card with the same name.

Did a ton of trading today so my list has shrunk considerably. Only new item is the binder.

Also here's a duel from today's tournament. I'm on the left (brown jacket).

Personally I think you're going in too many directions. I'd say go with either Horus or the spellcasters and drop the other. Horus focuses on negating spells, so he's kind of counterproductive in a spell counter deck. I think I can netdeck this. I'll try it out and see how it does. That said it is very refreshing to see such an original deck.

I'm not sure what the Alias' are for either, and I don't have them. I'd recommend swapping them out for Chaos Sorcerer x2. There's enough light and dark here to make him useful, and you need a reliable way of removing monsters.

I also swapped out the Shield Warriors for MST x2. You needed some spell and trap removal and the warriors just didn't have a lot of synergy with the deck.

UPDATE: Definitely needs some changes. For starters I'd say you need to pick one direction and stick to it. All of them are equally good, but they don't blend together at all. I managed to with sheer beatdown against fortune ladies, but at any given point during the duel about half of my hand was useless. If beatdown is what you're going for then that's fine, but there are much better ways of going about it.

Here's my current X-Saber build:

Monsters: 18
XX-Saber Faultroll x3
XX-Saber Boggart Knight x3
XX-Saber Fulhelmknight x3
XX-Saber Darksoul x3
X-Saber Pashuul x2
X-Saber Airbellum x2
Super Nimble Mega Hamster x1
Debris Dragon x1

Spells: 10
Mystical Space Typhoon x2
Enemy Controller x2
Monster Reborn x1
Dark Hole x1
Giant Trunade x1
Book of Moon x1
Saber Slash x1
Reinforcements of the Army x1

Traps: 12
Trap Stun x2
Seven Tools of the Bandit x2
Bottomless Trap Hole x2
Saber Hole x2
Gottom's Emergency Call x2
Solemn Judgment x1
Mirror Force x1

It's really consistent right now with a lot of searching and easy explode ability. The spell/trap hate is really important in this deck.

Monsters: 18
Koa'ki Meiru Urnight x3
Koa'ki Meiru Crusader x3
Koa'ki Meiru Boulder x3
Koa'ki Meiru Guardian x2
Koa'ki Meiru Sandman x2
Spirit Reaper x2
Koa'ki Meiru Wall x1
Koa'ki Meiru Maximus x1
Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind x1

Spells: 14
Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru x3
Pot of Duality x3
Core Overclock x2
Core Transport Unit x2
Mystical Space Typhoon x2
Monster Reborn x1
Dark Hole x1


Traps: 8
Solemn Warning x2
Dimensional Prison x2
Compulsory Evacuation Device x1
Solemn Judgment x1
Mirror Force x1
Torrential Tribute x1

The only cards I don't have in this deck are the Pot of Dualities. I don't know if this deck can be more consistent, but I'm trying.

Okay first what is an MST?
Second, I like the sheild warriors because it's just reassurance that my Silent Magician LV4 will level up no matter what.
third, I dropped the Aliuses, Command Knight, and the Horuses and added Chaos Command Magician, Sorcerer of Dark Magic, 2 Chaos Sorcerers, and Dark Red Enchanter.
Fourth, Does anybody have:
Black Luster Soldier- Envoy of the Beginning
Chaos Emporer Dragon- Envoy of the End
Buster Blader
Dark Paladin
Dark Magician Of Chaos
Silent Swordsman LV7?

[Robotunit197]

MST = Mystical Space Typhoon

[LeviofDoom]

k, thanks. I'll think about that.
