Went 4-1.

Anywho, here's the deck.
Monsters: 21
- The Six Samurai - Zanji x3
- The Six Samurai - Irou x2 <- Unless you see a TON of face-down monsters, one is enough.
- The Six Samurai - Nisashi x2 <- I don't get it. No point at all.
- The Six Samurai - Yaichi x2
- Hand of The Six Samurai x2
- Spirit of The Six Samurai x2
- Grandmaster of The Six Samurai x3
- Cyber Dragon
- Great Shogun Shien x2
- Enishi, Shien's Chancellor x2

Spells: 13
- Cunning of The Six Samurai x2 <- There's really no use for this at all.
- Six Samurai United x3
- Book of Moon x2
- Brain Control
- Heavy Storm
- Frobidden Chalice <- I don't get why it's in the Main Deck, let alone a one-of.
- Reinforcement of the Army
- The Warrior Returning Alive <- I don't get why it's a one-of.
- Mystical Space Typhoon <- Why not Trunade, again?

Traps:6
- Mirror Force
- Double-Edged Sword Technique
- Torrential Tribute
- Bottomless Trap Hole x2
- Call of the Haunted

I summon Beau, for deck review tiem.

My summon better have required tributes.

My summon better have required tributes.

You're more like a grandmaster. Where as when one Six sam player posts six sams, you show up.
As for the fixes, recomendations?
- As for the cunning, what is not to love? Extra attack plus....oh yeah, making a nisashi blast for 5600? fun tiems.
- I went MST over Trunade cause Call is back, overall dislike Trunade.
if I can't game them that turn, they just set their s**t and wait for the next turn.
- Warrior at one because the only thing I'd want to revive is a grandmaster for an instant summon. Otherwise it's virtually a dead card.
- Irou is just Muscle, I actually do end up seing plenty of facedown monsters. Great against spies and guards, as well as dekoichi.

-Chalice was a weird toss in. The reason it's at one is mainly because I only have one. The reason it's in is when my opponent thinks its funny to synch high level monster and tussle with Shien. Against LS it helps to stop lumina/JD. But, I can take it out for...Trunade perhaps?
I'd still like it sided.

Instead of Maining 1, I'd be Siding 2.

Also, I'm not sure I'm a fan of Cunning, mainly because of the big reasons that A] It can't be used without a Six Samurai already in the Graveyard, and B] It's a -1. As a general rule, -1s make me a little uneasy unless they make it easy to toss game in someone's face.

The thing about Warrior Returning Alive, though, is that it makes Grandmaster a free shot with Hand, and it's ALWAYS beneficial to get back Grandmaster. ALWAYS. I'd run at least two, and three if I was Maining Foolish as a reverse search, which is something I'd heavily consider. This format I think it might be a little shaky, but we haven't really developed the meta enough to make that call.

Nisashi I just don't understand the inclusion of in the first place. It's not big enough to get over anything, and even if you had Cunning, you'd need another Samurai that could barrel over something AND leave another on the field for him to get the second attack, so Zanji's kill effect and Hand's kill effect would either require THREE Samurai on the field, or be useless to that end.

Other than that, I'd put a copy of Chimeratech Fortress Dragon in the Extra Deck if you're Maining Cyber Dragon. There's no good reason not to.

[[-Zera-]]

You ever try Solidarity?

[Saiyan Knight]

Was wasn't a fan of Solidarity. It's a poor TopDeck, and it doesn't become active until one of your monsters is dead, meaning you'd need to have it in the early game, when you had a big hand, but not in the early game TOO early, or it would be useless.

There's a reason it's only a Silver-Top, that's all I'm sayin'.

[WhiteZombieRob]

I can see what you're saying, but can you give me some substitutes other than the Fortress Dragon?

I'll main the Chalices, but I only have one.

What can I use to replace Nisashi and Cunning?

No, I can't. There is no substitute for Chimeratech Fortress Dragon.

And no, you won't Main the CHALICE. As in SINGULAR. One is crap, Mained is crap, two sided is decent. Don't be a fool.

As for Nisashi and Cunning, there is no generic replacement. I'd say to use a Brain Control, a Giant Trunade, and two Shien's Footsoldier.

I've been falling in love with Footsoldier lately. Them and also Dimensional Prison, I feel, is a great card right now. I'd use Dimensional Prison if you have it.

Lol..I didn't mean replacement on fortress dragon, I dont have him though, unfortunately. I'll try to keep the Footsoldier in mind.
I have Brain control mained, anything else?
(taking out chalice)

[Grumpy Paradox]

Changes are not listed, but I'm sure you can figure it out.

I took some of Beau's suggestions and a few of my own ideas. I'll explain near the end.

I have no idea what a Footsoldier is, sorry Beau and Rob.

Monsters: 20
- The Six Samurai - Zanji x3
- The Six Samurai - Irou
- The Six Samurai - Yaichi x2

- Grandmaster of The Six Samurai x3
- Cyber Dragon
- Great Shogun Shien x2
- Enishi, Shien's Chancellor x2

Spells: 14
- Cunning of The Six Samurai*
- Six Samurai United x3
- Book of Moon x3**
- Brain Control

Traps:6

- Torrential Tribute
- Bottomless Trap Hole x2
- Call of the Haunted

*: I kept Cunning for the primary reason of deflecting PWWB. If they use it on your turn, you can switch out and save your draw. PWWB is a 0 in my book because it can kill the draw, locking you further. You -1 to make them drop two cards AND save your draw? At LEAST a +1 in my book.
**: Book of Moon is versatile and sexy, but I have two other considerations.
**a: PWWB. Doubles onto the versatility of Cunning by possibly ditching that Samurai you want to switch out with, removes dead Grandmasters in hand, possibly adds to the Enishi summon, AND the reasons I stated in *.
**b: Cunning. Same thing I put in *.

I'm leaning more towards PWWB than the third book, it's too sexy, but I don't have any experience running Samurai because I don't like them.

Kamon, Call, Call, Call, Call, Call. That AND... Macro Cosmos, Dimensional Fissure, Ancient Forest, Black Garden, Burden of the Mighty... this is meta dependent. I EXPECT two sided if you don't main the one. If you do, just one sided. If you don't main any, I suggest a PWWB or Cunning, depending on how you play with BoM.

First deck suggestions I've made in ages, Beau let me know how it looks.

EDIT: Also, Samurai are lame, use DDT.

[WhiteZombieRob]

Back from Regionals. First regionals I've ever been to.
It was interesting. But hardly anything I didn't expect.
Top decks where Blackwing/Glad/Lightsworn.
I went 5 - 3.
Lost to Lightsworn, Twilight, and then Dark.
Beat Hopeless Dragon, Blackwing, Stun, random deck, and removal.
51rst out of 202?
No idea what to think of that.
BEAU!
We need to talk about Nisashi and Cunning. PM me.

[THE Chun-Li Xiang]

Nisashi and Cunning aren't vital. That's basically the end of it.
