Check my Number Hunders in the Pro Decklists Sign-ups man for a wicked Rank Up Hunder deck. I made it for my sister but feel free to study it and take ideas or even the deck itself.

I, personally think that Photon Thrasher isn't needed in a Hunder deck. It could sometimes be good, but not all the time. Maybe you can take that of and add another duality?

I checked out your deck build, but it is not for me. Each duelist has their own play style and strategy. Cards they can and cannot use properly. It is a good deck, but it would be useless in my hands.

This is correct. I use to run three Photon Thrashers, but that was incredibly cloggy. In early testing it went by unnoticed as the problem never happened. In later testing however I'd draw two and three of them when I was not able to use them. So I changed that out with a third recycling batteries and and second V Salamander.

bump for updates to deck as well as adding in cards to be used in an TCG+OCG advance set up.

Spoiler :

Try taking out Decree and replacing them with Trap Stun

Quick question before I head into testing the new build. What are that spell card you have in the side?

Well the test turned out a deck that was at a 68% win rate. (34W and 16L)

I've decided for my decks in the less that there will be levels... so that when I'm facing anyone here they will get my best.



Anyway I ran the test with what PowerNova suggested with Trap Stun instead of Royal Decree; As well as running one Rank-Up Magic The Seventh One instead of 3 Upstart Goblins. The deck ran smoothly at the beginning, but later on I noticed I'd lose duels simply because I couldn't draw more the one monster. While that was just luck of the draw I decided to increase the odds after the testing was done. I added back in the 3 Batteryman AAA while removing the Summoner Monk, 1 Fiendish Chains and 1 Mystical Space Typhoon. This should allow for slightly more consistency when it comes to that. I choose those 3 cards because it wouldn't make the deck worse then it was on the fiendish chains/Mystical Space Typhoon front, and summoner monk was essentially useless with no synergy to the deck. The only thing it was good for was starting Crimson Blader/Scrap Dragon/Stardust turn one depending on what the opponent had and whether you went first or not. This is not to mention by putting back in the 3 Batteryman AAA the deck will be a lot more consistent in XYZ for Number 102 and Number 104.

When it came to Rank-Up Magic the Seventh One... I didn't get the results I intended. I original placed it into the deck as a comeback mechanic. Kind of like a heart of the cards deal. Drawing this card at the right moment can and easily will turn a duel around. However this didn't occur. Since the card can only be played if drawn during the draw phase it would be risky to run anymore then one especially when running upstart goblin. With only being able to run one it also become in consistent and completely luck based in when it comes. Several times I had it in my opening hand now completely useless. Any other time I drew it. I didn't need it and it was simply adding insult to injury. Since that was the case I replaced it with A third Recycling Batteries. I could have gone for the third upstart goblin or mystical space typhoon, but I preferred being able to recycle what was in the graveyards then the other options.

When it comes to the extra deck. I took 4 of the XYZ suggested which came from the deck original build. This was to add in more Rank-Up targets. These in particular were Number 102 and Number 103. Both these cards preformed well when played, but the deck still leaned towards playing Number 39 and Number 101 more.

Finally when it came to side deck... with Summoner Monk removed Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning was useless, and since the batteryman AAAs were placed in the main deck this left 3 spots open. I decided to put back the two Shadow-Imprisoning Mirrors because the deck still had a little trouble with certain dark based decks. For the last part I choose Stardust Spark Dragon. It would be interchangeable with Stardust dragon depending on the deck I'm playing against.
