Epicake's Productive Return to TeamRoseBud


So, it's been a while since I've posted on this blog, and frankly reading all my other posts, they're worthless so you probably didn't miss them at all.  Anyways, Team Rose Bud is back after a seven month absence.  I personally have gone through deck after deck, from Gladiator Beasts to X-Sabers, to Gravekeeper's to T.G. Sabers, and then finally settling on Fableds, where I'm at now.  Chow and I have been playing all these months, in person and virtually.  Recently, Fugglor decided to jump back onto the YGO bandwagon, and who can blame him?  Nobody really quits YGO, that's just fact. 

Fableds.  I think I've finally found a deck with a playstyle I can really enjoy.  This would be any deck that can maintain control throughout a game, but also pull of those derpy moments for the trololols.  The reasons I decided to build this deck are as follows:
1.      Heavy Storm is back.  I.  Fucking.  Love.  This.  Card.  It promotes skill, and a better format in general without your opponent normal summoning a TKRO, setting five and ending. 
2.      Black Luster Soldier – Envoy of the Beginning.  God knows why Konami brought this card back, but hey.  It's kinda fun and derpy. 
3.      Tour Guide from the Underworld.  This card is just straight up broke, and of course it has to be worth $180, so I can only afford one.  It also pulls Fabled Kushano, which is just amazing. Extra TGU targets means less pulling of TGU with TGU. 
4.      Reborn Tengu.  Makes for extreme consistency in any deck that uses synchro summoning. 
5.      Ancient Sacred Wyvern.  Oh, man.  This card makes me cream in my pants every time I sync for him.  Wyvern is a game finisher.  It can maintain field presence, and is a high beat stick if you use him correctly.  Just, Oh my God.

This deck has the explosiveness of Fableds, and the consistency of Tour Guides.  The reason that this deck works, is basically because it runs Dark and Light types.  Here are my explanations for the above cards:

Tour Guide from the Underworld/Sangan/Spirit Reaper (TGU #2):
          This engine needs to be used in every deck this format.  If you aren't running TGU, you're losing.  (Not necessarily, but you know what I mean).  Having such a broken card is just necessary.  The engine also has synergy with BLS plays, and TGU can pull Kushano.  #IJustCame

Black Luster Soldier – Envoy of the Beginning:
          Fresh off the banlist.  I just picked my copy up a few days ago, finally got the chance to rip a kid off for it.  Bunch of Glad Beast commons for a BLS?  Yes PLEASE.  Anyways, this card is just Chaos Sorcerer on steroids, and is a free boss monster. 

Snipe Hunter:
          Snipe Hunter hates me.  I always end up rolling a 1 or 6 whenever I go to activate his effect.  Really pisses me the fuck off.  Field destruction is always nice, and if you pitch a Cerburrel or Ganashia with his effect there's no minus so Hell, why not?  Also a Dark.

Gorz the Emissary of Darkness:
          This badass is Dark, and can turn games around in the blink of an eye.  If an opponent knows you've got this mothafucka in your hand, they're for SURE not gonna attack.  Game changer, nuff said.

Dandylion/Glow-Up Bulb:
          Okay, this is my Plant engine.  Dandylion creates Formula Synchron plays with Chawa and Bulb, and the tokens can fend off attacks, make different level synchros, etc. etc. etc.  Bulb is just such a splashable tuner that I would rather shoot myself in the penis than not run him.  Both of these guys work well with the deck since you can discard them with ease, such as Brio and Snipe Hunter plays.

Reborn Tengu:
          Tengu, the other broken TCG exclusive.  Makes for huge synchro plays, especially with Chawa.  Makes easy Fabled Ragin's/Hyper Librarians.

Neo-Spacian Grand Mole:
          This is my personal tech, I've loved this card since I first picked it up, and although it has no relation to the deck it is still an amazing card this format.  People tend to waste their Warnings, Veilers, Mirror Forces on this mofo.  Grand Mole bounces shit like Gachi Gachi, Zenmaines, Stardust, and any other Synchro/Exceed.  Just amazing.

The Fabled Cerburrel, The Fabled Chawa, Fabled Grimro, Fabled Kushano, The Fabled Ganashia:
          This is my Fabled “engine.”  This format, I have to call it an engine.  This deck really is based around quick synchro plays with easy Special Summons, and of course BLS plays.  Fableds just happen to have both those traits, AND they're Light. 

So that's the monster line-up of the deck.  A majority of it is pretty self-explanatory, but if you've got any other questions on why I run it just ask in the comments below!

Pot of Avarice x1
Heavy Storm x1
Dark Hole x1
Monster Reborn x1
Book of Moon x1
Mind Control x1
Lightning Vortex x1
These cards, IMO are just straight up necessary.  This deck would probably work even better if Pot of Avarice had stayed unlimited.  You're graveyard always ends up full, and only having the ability to draw into one of these broken cards, Epicake gets sad.  :(  FUCK YOU KONAMI. 

Pot of Duality x1:
          Well, some of you might be yelling at me, or thinking “WTF is this dumbass thinking?  I should just stop reading now.”  Don't do that.  Duality makes for great consistency, as if you don't draw into a good enough hand to explode, you probably end up with Duality in hand. 

Thats the Spells.  Total of eight.  The traps in this deck are all necessary to be run, since you've got the space to do so.  I also get the feeling that people are going to stop putting their MST's in the main, after all the YCS tops running only Trap Dustshoot.  Seven traps to me, is the perfect number.  A majority of the time you draw into one of them, and only one of them. 

So, that's my deck profile.  Welcome back to Chow and Fugglor, and fuck you Brah for losing my copy of Pokemon Black.  I clocked over 150 hours on that thing, you son of a bitch.
