Shadoll Artifacts

The deck has been serving Luna rather well lately, but Luna modified the Side Deck a bit (Luna only got a 4/5 for Luna's side deck so there was obviously room for improvement). Plus Luna wants to get as much input as possible.



Video of the deck in use:



Luna just quickly dueled someone on DevPro and recorded the replay using fraps.

I'm using Shadoll Artifacts as well but with only 4 Artifact monsters...
It works awesome for me and I think runing more can be big clog...
I scored 308th in Single mode with them...

Also...
I'm runing Chaos Monsters and Electromagnetic Turtle :D

Unless you are immediately setting them as soon as you get them, they shouldn't be clogging up too badly. If you really have to, you can always use them as materials for El-Shadoll Nephilim. Luna personally feels like a good ratio is six artifact monsters with 3x Ignitions and 3x Sanctums. Luna wouldn't mind running a Chaos Sorcerer or two as well, but Luna isn't sure what to take out.

luna gives me the chills

Uhhh why?

Also, Luna added a replay of one of Luna's duels on DevPro with the deck. Luna is still perfecting Luna's usage of the deck however. For example, at the end, when Luna decided to add Shadoll Dragon to Luna's hand, another Shadoll Lizard would probably have been a better choice. While its attack is 100 points lower, its effect when sent to the graveyard by a card effect is more versatile and with the opponent's field empty, Luna wouldn't have to worry about Lizard being destroyed again before the opponent's turn. It wouldn't have changed the outcome, but would have given Luna a back up in case things turned south somehow.

Ive seen alot of people in DN duel pool using shadoll artifacts and running Dragged Down into The Grave. worth considering.

Also, Wonder Wand might be good since it triggers their effs

Elektromagnet turtle, ftw

Wonder Wand's send to graveyard to draw two cards isn't an effect though, it's a cost. Because it is a cost, Shadolls will not get their effects as it clearly states that they have to be sent to the graveyard by a card effect.. Fusion Material Monsters being sent to the graveyard are not considered a cost, but an effect so they obtain their effects.

Luna really isn't sure why that is the case, but because of it, summoning El-Shadoll Midrash often gives Luna plenty of pluses.

Dragged Down into the Grave is an interesting idea, though Luna would need to make it so that there is no good choices for Luna's opponent somehow. Luna thought about Dark World Dealings for a similar reason, but was a bit afraid of giving Luna's opponent the graveyard advantage. However Dragged Down into the Grave isn't too bad of a choice since depending on their hand, Luna may give them a minus rather than a plus. However, Luna feels that it may be better in a pure Shadoll deck rather than a hybrid.

Electromagnetic Turtle was something Luna thought about, but the amount of control Luna has with the deck, Luna generally doesn't need to worry about it too much. It is still an idea however.

So two cards to consider are Dragged Down into the Grave and Electromagnetic Turtle? If Luna were to add these, what cards should Luna drop then?

Doesnt give them there effects since its an effect like Lumina.


TDS thinks the deck is good but try fitting in an Elecro turtle for safe keeping?

But what would be the ideal swap out for it though? Take out a MST?

A beast maybe?

Can someone at least tell me what Shadoll does.

Their main deck monsters have two effects: one that occurs when they are flipped and one that occurs when they are sent to the graveyard by a card effect. Their main goal is basically control and Special Summon limitations/hate. Their two released boss monsters are El-Shadoll Midrash and El-Shadoll Nephilim. Midrash prevents both players from special summoning more than once per turn and cannot be destroyed by your opponent's card effects. Nephilim when summoned lets you send 1 Shadoll from your deck to your graveyard and destroys any special summoned monster at the start of the damage step making it basically a Catastor on steroids. Both when sent to the graveyard allow you to add 1 shadoll spell/trap in your graveyard to your hand meaning you can recycle the Shadoll Fusion that was used to summon them.

So basically, use flip and send to graveyard effects to get pluses/advantage. Fusion summon to gain control/stun/lockdown, and laugh at your opponent.

Shadolls are like, strongest Archetype in the World...
