Toffee. Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 This image sucks: [img]http://i.imgur.com/6iWFU.png[/img] Concept was "somewhat" of a game breaker when they first came out, just for shenanigans with Zombies, Chaos monsters, etc, etc. Their engine: Charge + Recharge-spam, is still viable every now and then. They still have a pretty amusing monster lineup: Ryko has Hamster+others, Lyla is an endless Breaker, Ehren laughs at walls, Lumina is a Zombie Master, Celestia is basically a Monarch, etc... Their "boss", ironically, turns the whole deck into a 1-Trick-Pony and holds it back. Despite all this versatility, your main focus is just dropping JD without caring what your monsters can and cant do. [b]-Just for arguments sake, and despite the image, JD doesn't exist in this topic-[/b] Discuss Lightsworns, as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hounds Of Anubis Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Lightraysworns are a legit decent deck and with the right threat density they aren't nearly as sacky as people make them out to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sora1499 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 The objective of Lightsworns is to self-mill for various advantage (the most prominent of which is dropping JD). By that definition, gragonith would be the "main boss" of lightsworns, because they all build up to him being at full power. Except, he'd be an extremely mediocre main boss. The fact remains that dropping JD and the lightrays is the main goal of lightsworns. Without beefy powerhouses, like those, the deck can't really do much.

Sora1499 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 So you're saying that they have synergy as an archetype? That may be true, but that synergy is pretty loosely connected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b0b3rt Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Lumina has Synergy. Duh. Also cards outside the archtype that want to be in the grave. Ban JD, put Lumina to 3, SHAZZAM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine Jesse Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 I like LS as an engine but as a standalone deck I despise them A lot of people build them terribly too (see: Wulf) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerion Brightflame Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 I've been testing Lightraysworns for a few days now, and it's actually quite fun. The sheer number of bosses is frightening. It's a shame that people run Wolf, but really after you max all the other good LS... he is the best of the bad bunch. Teching at 1 is the absolute most that should really be run of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Doodle Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 The last few comments really surprised me; I never actually played LS but I thought Wulf was one of the good cards, despite it being 'situational'. I thought Lumina would deal with any dead wulves anyway, like all the other 'dead-in-hand' cards LS run(\ran?). Is it a relitively new insight people suddenly had? -- The pic in the OP made me lol. oh, you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
