So, I noticed that the card Voodoo Doll is seriously unused in this game. I have rarely seen it. So, I made a AI3 farmer with them! It'd work much better upgraded, I'm sure, but there would obviously be better things to upgrade than Voodoo Dolls. Anyways, it's a fun deck, and if you play it pro, you can get an EM occasionally.

55t 55t 55t 55t 55t 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58v 595 595 595 595 595 595 5uk 5uk 5uk 5uk 5uk 5uk 5uv 5uv 5v0 5v0 5v0 5v0 5v0 8pl


So the strategy is simple. Play your Voodoos and watch your opponent kill yourself. Basilisk and Gravity Pull them. The 5 "???" are Voodoos, duh.

If you get a lucky enough draw, chain together your voodoos. When one of your voodoos is at low health, put another Voodoo in and Gravity Pull that so you don't get damaged. That's ONLY if you want an EM. And it's risky. Feel free to also Grav. Pull those 23 hp Gargoyles if you aren't doing to well.
Remember, you have 16*5 (dolls) + 20*6 (Basilisk). That's 80+120=200 damage. So even if your opponent has lots of heals, chances are you'll kill him before he has time to play all 6 of them he needs. (He's not going to just wait until he draws 6 heals, and this deck can set up pretty fast.)

If you have Pulverizer, that's the best weapon, and Vamp Stiletto is 2nd best. Hammer if you REALLY don't have the above. Maybe if you have lots of extra Grav quanta you could to Titan, but I don't think so.

Weaknesses are obviously chryasora or reverse time decks. I like that if you're up against a forest scorpion deck, you get mass poison your opponent when they adrenaline it (this is giving me an idea). That was probably my epic-est win. Remember that you are reliant on the opposition dealing damage.

After about 20 games or so with AI 3, I would I say I won 17 of them.  That's a pretty good ratio.

It's extremely-uber cheap, only about 700 electrum.
A great opening draw is : 2x Obsidian Pillar, 1x Stone Pillar, 2x Basilisk Blood, 1x Voodoo Doll, 1x Grav Pull. That gives excellent chances for EM

SUPER COOL FACT: WHEN YOU BASILISK YOUR VOODOO AND YOUR OPPONENT HAS A WEAPON, THE WEAPON GETS 6 TURN  STASIS TOO! AMAZING!!! THAT'S WHY MASTERY IS POSSIBLE

Here's an EM with a level 3 AI. PWNAGE!!

Feedback is accepted!!
I hope this is still original.
(P.S. This is my first deck created by me!)

Pretty good, but maybe add some pendulems??  Also this looks pretty similar to another vodoo doll deck.

Really? Aw....

But what kind of pendulums? I don't really need Gravity Quantum, only costs 2 to play one gravity pull. I could probably substitute 2 of the stone pillars for Earth Pendulums, but I don't think I'd need them that much.

I've been doing more testing, and it's not faring to well. Mono-dark, shrieker rush, pegasus rush, mummy rush probably all do better than this and the TTW is lower as well. This is only like a 70-80% win vs. AI 3 after more testing. Still, I guess there is some satisfaction in seeing you opponent's Crimson dragon hitting his owner for 12 damage.
