Yu-Gi-Oh! Advance Deck Notes

So, Jean's putting me in charge of writing her duels for her. As a result, while she gets to pick general themes to go with, at the end of the day I get to make the deck itself and throw the cards around. As a result, here's my notes about the decks of the characters--subject to change anytime, of course.

Edward Jay Daughtily: As this character has changed a lot, so too has his deck. Being the seal of light, he runs some kind of light deck... but what? Actually, he runs Faries! His deck is a portmanteau of two different things: The agents, led by Hyperion, and the Heralds, led by the Herald of Perfection. This is because Ed is still a Ritual-whore at heart, and he runs Mystic Shine Balls and other high-attack level 4 faeries for an Advanced Ritual Art trick as well. He's got a straightforward style, and if he CAN do something to get an advantage, he WILL. Even if it comes back to hurt him later.

Meliora Ariana Castafiore: In the only callback to her original form, her Psychic deck is based more upon the Banish version than anything else. Don't worry, I still plan on abusing all the yummy things that make Psychics fun. Her dueling style is slightly erratic, as she'll get hunches mid-duel and act accordingly. Even against an opponent she can't read, though, she's still a very powerful duelist and only exerts exactly as much force as necessary to get things done and take the upper hand. She's in her school's top 5 for a reason.

Josephine Weatherly: Inzectors, because she is an insect duelist who takes herself seriously. She has an orthodox style of play, and is fairly skilled.

Amado Tsukayama: He plays Dragunity, which is a decktype that revolves around pairing up Winged Beasts and Dragons, and tuning them. At first, he's going to be running a very basic Dragunity deck playing only Dragunity cards. However, because he is basically the MAIN CHARACTER and all, his deck will be developing over the arcs, moving from Just Dragunity into Dragunity and a few other wind cards that can work alongside it. I'm currently eyeing things like Gusto or Stardust Dragon as an eventual progression, and I know he will definitely be using Armed Dragon at some point. His dueling style is very unrefined at first, and he duels using GRIT AND GUT DETERMINATION. Over time, he gets better and better because he is the hero.

Nia Muller: Nia's deck is primarily focused on Darklords and quick fairy special summons to summon more Darklords. She does use other support like Athena to speed out their summoning. Her style is quick yet methodical and she aims to finish duels as quickly as possible.

Jin Honjou: Jin runs Lightsworn. He plays them well. Expect mass crying and frustration.

More to come as I think of them.
