I suck at Side Decks. I basically made it so I can freely change the Deck around between Duels.

No to Monster Reincarnation, yes to Soul Exchange.

[Judgment Dragon]

I could keep Reincarnation at 2 so the Deck is down to 40. Sometimes it comes in handy in this type of deck. Soul Exchange has costed me too many games since a Battle Phase that could win the duel gets taken away but those times I was using it withot Treeborn. Since I have Treeborn Frog in here it may work. Ill try Soul Exchange at 2.

-1 Lyla
-1 Lumina

+1 Garoth
+2 Ryko

You can cut a threatning roar if you want to stay at 40.

[Judgment Dragon]

Im not really too fussed about 1 card over 40. The mill sort of balances the deck out.

[armageddon08]

In fact, that's the advantage, as you can make this deck 45 cards and it would still function.

[tonisanoob]

i dont care what you say -caius for pmd is f****** orgasm

also - ryko for lumina and lyla

2 solemn is gay get another its ls you can make a 50 card deck work well so just do it

add another solemn another solexhcange side roars and add necro gaurdnas

;D

[Judgment Dragon]

Ive always liked PMD. I found it pretty splashable. Ill add it. Ill just max Solemn and run 42 cards. I feel I need the Roars so they'll stay.

[tonisanoob]

i personally think roas should be sided

INFACT

add 3 necros make it 45 as tht will help against glads as well anyhoo

also get rid of the rykos plox...

[Judgment Dragon]

I dropped the Rykos for Gardnas. I still think Roar needs to be mained so it's probably gonna stay. Good point about Gardnas. I suppose I could use those in place of Ryko's for any LS-based Deck, right?

[tonisanoob]

yes

i mean i guess side rykos for glads as thats all they are really useful for to stop them tagging out otherwise they are just an annoying flip...

also i say neg mst + 2 cosr extra darw is always handy ;D

also is this irl

also do u have 3 honest and charge ect, cos if so nice wrk ;D

[Judgment Dragon]

This isnt IRL. I dont have all the cards to make it IRL. Charges are also impossible for me to get at this stage and Solemns are next to impossible to find and the people that have them wont trade them. I could make this IRL if I made a few changes.

I guess with all the cards in here CoSR mained shouldnt really matter too much. Ill main it and side the Rykos.

[tonisanoob]

awesome

1 i think were liek the only ppl ont his site atm
2 it would be awesome if it was irl...oh well a boy can dream

[Judgment Dragon]

Yeah. I sorta wish it was too. Im building a less expensive variant of an LS Deck (not Monarchs) and testing it, it OTKs on a consistent basis despite the handicap of JD being Semi-Limited. Basically 2 JD's and a Lumina in hand is game.
