Chaos Decks - Strategies and Tips

Okay,i'm here to tell you about the Chaos Deck.

1. Introduction

A Chaos Deck primarily revolve around the use of the Chaos monsters, and a mix of LIGHT and DARK monsters. Combined with a sizeable amount of removal cards, the Chaos Deck seeks to control both hand and field. Chaos Deck Players, as a rule of playability, and survival, will usually not play their Chaos monster(s) until it can either 1) Remove a very stubborn monster from the field, or 2) Crush a sizeable chunk of the opponent's Life Points.

Chaos was all but dead, with the banning of Chaos Sorcerer in the September 2006 List; however, in early 2009, it was reinstated into TCG play. While the card Destiny Hero - Doom Lord has an effect similar to Chaos Sorcerer, it fails in comparison. Envoys have their ritual counterparts which are Demise, King of Armageddon and Ruin, Queen of Oblivion. The Sky Scourges also attempt to emulate the power of the Chaos cards.

Chaos Decks usually fall into five sub-categories: Envoy Decks, Demise OTK Decks, Sky Scourge Decks, Chaos-sworn Decks and Scourge-sworn Decks.

2. Envoy Decks

The Envoy decks are based on Traditional format,since both the Envoys,are forbidden in the advanced format.This deck's objective,is sending Light and Dark monsters to the Graveyard,to next summon Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning or Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End,the main source of power of the entire deck. The use of powerful LaD(Light and Dark) monsters,also aid the deck's user victory.

To add to an extra chance at success, some Envoy decks use Soul Absorption in their decks, sometimes ending a duel with 30,000 Life Points.

A Tip for this deck,is...

You have Jinzo in the field,4 Light monsters and 3 Dark Monsters on Grave(Thing that should be easy to do,just with a little of luck),Chaos Emperor Dragon,Monster Reborn and Rageki in hand.

Now,use the effect of Chaos Emperor Dragon,and special summon it,by removing 1 Light and 1 Dark monster from Grave. Your opponent won't be able to negate the special summon of it,because of Jinzo.
Next,Monster Reborn on a decent monster on grave,Raigeki,and then Direct Attack! Then,if your opponent still have LP,activate the effect of Chaos Emperor Dragon. -1000 LP to you,and a Lot of LPs to your opponent! That's an Awesome OTK.

The Main weakness of this deck,are Macro decks,that will remove from play all your Graveyard Cards,and not let you summon the envoys and other Chaos Monsters.

3. Sky Scourge Deck

The deck revolves around getting Light-Attribute Fairy-Type and Dark-Attribute Fiend-Type monsters into your Graveyard to summon Enrise, Norleras, and Invicil. One potential source of support for this deck type is the use of "Kuriboh", "Winged Kuriboh" and "The Flute of Summoning Kuriboh".

Sky Scourge Decks

Sky Scourge Decks revolve around the 3 Sky Scourge cards from Force of the Breaker. The deck revolves around getting Light-Attribute Fairy-Type and Dark-Attribute Fiend-Type monsters into your Graveyard to summon Enrise, Norleras, and Invicil. One potential source of support for this deck type is the use of "Kuriboh", "Winged Kuriboh" and "The Flute of Summoning Kuriboh".
