Anti-Meta Gladiator Beast Idea.

theboywithtits · Anti-Meta Gladiator Beast Idea.

I've recently been getting bored of Gladiator Beast so I've decided to give it a little shake around by including a new card out of Raging Battle;

Forbidden Chalice/Quick-Play Spell Card/Effect:

One face-up monster on the field gains 400 ATK, but its effect is negated until the End Phase.

This stops ANYTHING which activates on the field so that includes:

* Caius the Shadow Monarch
* Celestia, Lightsworn Angel
* Blackwing - Blizzard of the Far North
as well as cards like Judgment Dragon and Dark Armed Dragon but anyway this is the deck:

Monsters (15):

3 x Gladiator Beast Andal
3 x Thunderking Rai-Oh
3 x Gladiator Beast Laquari
2 x Test Tiger

1 x Gladiator Beast Equeste
1 x D.D Warrior Lady
1 x Gladiator Beast Bestiari
1 x Gladiator Beast Mumillo

Spells (12):

3 x Book of Moon
3 x Gladiator Proving Ground
3 x Dimensional Fissure
2 x Forbidden Chalice
1 x Smashing Ground

Traps (13):

3 x Solemn Judgment
3 x Gladiator Beast's War Chariot
3 x Royal Oppresion
3 x Bottomless Trap Hole
1 x Mirror Force

This looks very similar to what was in the top8 of the UK nats. There was a team running this kind of build, using Andels and maining Oppression and Siding Skill Drains.

It's a cool idea as I played one in the 9th round of nats, but if you don't get the back row going like most Anti-Meta decks, it can fall apart

Thats why I run 2 Test Tiger though

I don't think the Test Tigers are needed at all. If you drop them, you can add in more control-based cards. Drop them and then run say, Grand Mole and perhaps a Morphing Jar, letting you reset your hands? I'd even be tempted by running Barbaros. If you play Barbaros and use Forbidden Chalice on him, he'll only drop back to 3000 in the end phase due to the rulings on him, so that's something you could very easily abuse in this deck.

i agree test tigers are not needed

if your bored of running GB then run something else IMO i doubt this deck will work

seems there will be alot of the combos inflicting with each other

u could make a nice skill drain deck with the sort of concept of abusing forbidden chalice a rather nice card

its a defo good side card

can stop most deck and on the other hand can make big monsters like Landstar pointed out for example barbaros fusiller dragon etc

i don't think this sort of deck will work tits

if i were you i would drop GB for now and start something fresh

if you don't take my advice

then

i dont like

3 oppression with no coldwave

if oppression is face up your oppo will pay an 800 life drop to stop your GB 's i know i would

cold wave makes perfect sense

maybe take out 1 smash 1 di fissure 1 book for 3 coldwave coldwave allows u to control your oppression (since coldwave negates its effect will coldwave is in play) lets u special summon your GB go for gyzarus or herk up

im not liking the 3 thunder king with d fissure seems they will conflict with each other alot since u need to send thunder king to grave to neagte the special summon they also conflict with your proving grounds

so 3 thunder king

for
1 grand mole
1 morphing jar
like landstar said

or try something like

3 jujitsu master

or maybe try out D.D. assailant

trap line up looks ok

i'd

- 1 oppression

-1 bottomless traphole

+2 dimensional prison

Quality advice from everyone, I think I'm going to give up gb at the moment for Blackwings
