:life Forest Scorpion Deck :life

 :life Forest Scorpion Deck:

 :life Strategy:
  • Use the Emerald Pillars to gain Life quantum.
  • Summon Forest Scorpions to poison opponent.
  • Summon whichever shield is best for the battle.
  • Summon Drudic Staff to finish off enemy faster.
  • Use Heals to raise HP when it's low

 :life Explanation:
Once the Forest Scorpions are summoned, the poison inflicted on the opponent will slowly lower the opponent's HP. It may take time, and in that time, the opponent might try to finish you off quickly. To counter this, use the Heals to raise your HP. The two shields give you choice within a battle to choose your defence. The Emerald Shield is more of a defensive approach and the Thorn Carapace is more of an offensive approach. The Drudic Staff helps finish off the opponent a bit faster as well as keep your HP up.

 :life Personal Experiences with this Deck:
I've use this deck for a loooooong time now, and it works extremely well as long as you're patient enough. I usually win around 8 to all games out of every 10 games in PVP 1. For opponents who use monsters with Immortality, the Thorn Carapace can finish them off. The card that can be used against this deck that's most annoying is probably Purify, as it removes the poison and you have to re-start poisoning the opponent again. Most people may be afraid of Dimensional Shields, but I find the Heals help keep your HP up until the Dimensional Shields are gone (unless the opponent has 6 of them and were lucky enough to get all of them in a game). Also, probably the best thing about this deck is that once you summon out the Forest Scorpions, you don't have to worry about ice bolts, fire bolts, etc. because it's really the poison that kills your opponent, not the physical attacks from the Forest Scorpions.

Any dr shield stops your deck cold. You have no control whatsoever, and only six fragile 2hp creatures. I also really doubt your 3 pieces of equipment will come up that often and be very helpful.

I have no idea what you mean by "dr shields" (I was never good at any abbreviations anyways). As for control, I don't know what you mean either. All you basically do, is just poison the enemy, then use the Heals to survive until the poison kills the opponent. Siex fragile 2 HP creatures doesn't matter. It's the poison that kills the opponent, not the creatures' physical attacks, so as long as the Forest Scorpions can live long enough to severely poison the opponent and the opponent doesn't have any Purifies, then the deaths of the Forest Scorpions doesn't matter. As for the 3 pieces of equipment, they don't usually come up at the beginning of the match, but because the deck takes quite a few turns to kill, they actually do come up, whether you believe it or not. Also, the three pieces of equipment weren't meant to change the tide of battle, they were just meant to help out.

DR = Damage Reducing.
Just 1 Damage Reducing shield, you cant win.

Control = Kill, Lobo, whatever for Creatures and Steal, Explosion, Momentum whatever for the Permanents.

And I think there is too much :life unused, so add some adrenaline.
Circular Logic is true. Thus, Circular Logic is true.

Yes, that's the problem with this deck: Damage Reducing Shields. However, I've noticed that if you can send out your Forest Scorpions fast enough before the opponent manages to summon it out and you get all or almost all of your Heals, your good. Damage Reducing Shields is the top reason of why I lose sometimes in PVP 1, to be honest, but the chance of getting one and getting the quantum to summon it out takes longer than sending out 1 or 2 Forest Scorpions. Even a little poison can kill the opponent.

As for control, the basic idea is just to poison the enemy and survive. There's no need for control.

As for too much life, I actually half-agree on that. This was the first prototype I used that I later transformed into the Forest Scorpion Deck:

-1 Pillar, +1 Dragon.

Fits with the theme of completely unreliable :P

But yeah, this should help with DR... a little bit :(
