Yu-Gi-Oh! TFSP WIP: 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon'

The first deck I blogged about (my Magician beat deck) is a deck that's more or less reserved for tag duels with Yami Yugi. This Blue-Eyes deck was originally conceived for tag duels with Kaiba as a partner, but as I started to add more to it and personalize it, it became my main deck for quite some time. It's one of my better decks, but I consider it a WIP because I know there are some good dragon supports in the Tachyon booster (which I didn't even start purchasing yet lol).

Like obviously, once I get more Xyz Dragon monsters (hopefully even before the Tachyon booster), I will take out monsters like Gem-Knight Pearl or even the Black-Winged Dragon (which I honestly never use if given the choice). I am also considering adding more monsters like Shining Angel and the Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon. At the moment, I consider this a Blue-Eyes deck, but I also feel like it's just a dragon deck just more geared towards the Blue-Eyes? That could also be because of my Extra deck, which is pretty much the entire Team 5D's.

I'm probably going to have to add Hieratic monsters if it's going to run a bit smoother in terms of Blue-Eyes but what do you guys think? The ideal is a deck that can keep putting out powerful dragons whether it's the Blue-Eyes or a Synchro, but I realize that it might not be realistic to constantly be firing them out every turn. I'm putting a lot of hope on the Tachyon booster to provide a bit more support, but now that I'm thinking about it, wouldn't the Tachyon booster mainly provide cards for the Galaxy-Eyes line?

Anyway, disregarding the Tachyon booster, what do you guys think about this deck? This deck runs pretty well for me in both TFSP and on YGOPro. Dragons are done to death so I'm sure there's plenty of people out there that can help a poor girl out with fulfilling her lifelong dream to literally be Seto Kaiba!

Yu-Gi-Oh! TFSP WIP: 'Basic Magician Beat'

A common advice for bloggers is to write about either what you know like the back of your hand, or what you love. I generally write about what I love, because the only thing I know like the back of my hand is the back of my hand. So what do I love? In general, I love Yu-Gi-Oh! and I love to make fun of myself. I've been playing Tag Force Special on the PSP since October 2015 and it's truly. It's truly wonderful. I highly recommend it to anyone who has a PSP (or an emulator) and has a love for Yu-Gi-Oh!. It's great for fans of both the anime and of the game.

Something to keep in mind with Tag Force Special is that you have to slowly unlock cards by 'purchasing' booster packs with DP. I don't have all the cards yet, so some of my decks are incomplete! I'll probably be adding on to them as I get more cards. The reason I'm putting these up while they're technically incomplete is that if anyone has any advice for me, I can take them into consideration a lot easier than if I already had a 'complete' deck!

Today, I'm going to talk about my magician's deck, which I use when I tag team with Yami Yugi. I don't usually like using magicians, so this one is hard for me to use properly unless I have his support.

The Basic Magician Beat 1.1 is pretty much exactly what it says on the tin. It's a no-frills, no-bells magician deck centred around keeping the Dark Magician on the field while keeping up a constant attack using high ATK monsters. There is no focus on spell counters. There isn't even a true focus on the Dark Magician other than the DMG and Diffusion Wave Motion. At the point of this deck's creation, I didn't really have any magician support cards in my trunk and by the time I got them, I was over magicians. They were so passé.

I will be creating a Dark Magician-centred deck in the near future, along with a deck focused on spell counters. Both decks will build off of this deck, since it's easier improving a frame than it is building a completely new one, in my opinion. The reason I didn't fixate on spell counters while designing this deck is because this beat deck is for tag team use, and I worried that spell counters would confound the AI a little LOL.

What do you think about this magician beat deck, and what cards would you add to improve it? Apart from Djinn monsters, I'm actually at a loss of what kinds of spellcaster monsters I should put in the Extra deck, so some suggestions for good spellcaster Xyz monsters would be nice! (For this deck, I will only be focused on Xyz in the ex deck).
