Are duel disks still a thing or are the duels taking place at tables?
Went and created Tobias' deck in Master Duel so I could test it out in solo duels... and then realized that Terraforming is banned on Master Duel. >_<
Would it be acceptable to make this my deck list? @RickyG85



I basically cut Horus and a few of the other monsters I wasn't feeling. In their place I put Darkness Metal Dragon back in, as well as Red-Eyes Wyvern, Red-Eyes Retro Dragon, and Divine Dragon Lord Felgrand. This deck list can be more easily labeled with an actual theme (Red-Eyes and Felgrand) but also still contains enough janky cards that it retains the theme of a rookie duelist still early in his career.
You have to collaborate on duels. There's no other way to go about it in a game that allows responses.


Definitely agreed with this. My own personal vote would go toward using a simulator, but that could also just be me looking for an excuse to play the actual TCG to some degree. xD

Anyway, on the topic of the whole "Horus" discussion, the Majestic Horus idea looks nice but it also looks extremely situational. I dunno at this point I'm starting to second-guess myself on the whole Horus thing. Maybe I should have just kept in the Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon since that could lead into an eventual Dragon Link deck or something? I dunno.
@The World
At the end of the day I'm not even sure if he's going to use Horus long term. The only way he would is if was with a custom card because otherwise I'm not particularly fond of the Horus support cards. Too situational for my liking. I really only like Horus himself out of that archetype.
@Double
For a Horus deck, it looks like you're forgoing a lot of its support cards, if those interest you at all. As for a new custom card... Maybe a special card?
- Since there's only one custom card per player, a Ritual is out.
- Fusion would be a little weird for a deck based around a single monster leveling up.
- Synchro would need a tuner, but since lvl 10+ is god territory anyway, maybe a level 10 synchro? I'll come back to this in a moment.
- XYZ would need multiple level 8s, which without going through your whole deck list, I don't know how plausible that is.
- Pendulum is useless in a deck with only one pendulum monster.
- Link maybe? A link 3 or 4 Horus that requires Horus Lvl 8 to be one of its chain links? That's a little more complex to come up with than the other kinds, though.

Maybe something like:


Then it's just throw in Majestic Dragon, and 1+ Tuners such as Rider of the Storm Winds to buff out the possibility of sychroing with lower than level 8 Horus.


It's not an actual Horus deck. It's just a dragon structure deck that has Horus splashed into it. That's why it lacks the LV support cards.
My "LV10 Horus" idea is a lot more challenging than I thought it would be. Horus LV8 is already pretty strong on its own with it's infinite spell negates. I honestly have no idea how to go up from there without it being game-breaking. Maybe give it the ability to negate any card activation but with a discard for cost? I'm also not sure what the Atk/Def would look like, apart from maybe something like 3200/2000 or something along those lines.
Been looking into it and I think I might be getting an idea for a custom card. It would basically be a "Horus" counterpart to Armed Dragon LV10, since Horus was never given a LV10 form.

Yeah, I can see that. I guess if we want to lean into it we can even make them go to the same school. They probably will be at each other throat. A guy with no respect for authority and the student council president who would tell the teacher that they had homework


I wouldn't be opposed to that. There'd be something of a Joey/Kaiba animosity going on I imagine.
All right. I think I'll keep unicorn and remove the other three. Power level aside, they Don't really fit with the whole knights theme.


I can see there being a bit of a thematic rivalry thing between our decks building up what with the whole "knights slaying dragons" thing.
