Yu-Gi-Oh! Decks

I’ve built a lot of decks in my time ...most of them custom.

TIP

Favourite decks are weighted. Those marked with * have been deprecated.

Canon

I’ve played with a couple of decks in my time, but I’m not really one to play a whole lot of different decks – I enjoy picking those I love the most and being deeply familiar with them. Here are all of them, in chronological order.

deck	archetypes	notes
Draptor	Raidraptor, Phantom Knights
Dryconix	Drytron, Dogmatika, Ritual tech
Cyburst	Cyber Dragon	Yeah, same name as the custom. Why not.
Processlayer	Mathmech, Cyberse tech	Was fun in Master Duel.
Sentrion	Centur-Ion, P.U.N.K., Synchro tech	Wonderfully versatile. Not as fun to play after a while, but waiting and looking for more interesting things to do. Oh yeah, and no Crimson Dragon tyvm ;)

Custom

Here are all the (documented) decks of custom cards I’ve created, in chronological order. You can also find documentation for the archetypes and individual cards I’ve created.
