Lancer Frogs

hello everyone after so much time without posting anything. im back with my pre-hieratic deck (since i havent all the cards yet). this deck is known as Lancer Frogs. for those that are unfamiliar with that kind of deck, here you have a link to its official thread in pojo, with tips, the cards you could need and the most important thing, rulings.

first of all, the decklist.

3 tour guide
3 sea lancer
3 swap frog
3 dupe frog
2 ronintoadin
1 treeborn frog
1 poison draw frog
3 light and darkness dragon
1 gorz
2 battle fader
1 sangan
3 effect veiler
1 caius

spells (12)
3 enemy controller
1 salvage
3 MST
1 heavy storm
1 dark hole
1 monster reborn
1 pot of avarice
1 book of moon

traps (1)
1 treacherous trap hole

the strategy of the deck is to fill the graveyard with frogs and ronins using swap frog´s effect. then, use treeborn and ronins or enemy controlled monsters to summon LADD and waste your opp´s resources.

another strategy (the main one) is, after dropping at least a dupe frog/poison draw fron and a ronin, summon ronin banishing 1 of those frogs (your choice depends on if you want to draw or search a frog), tribute ronin for sea lancer, and activate its effect, being a 2300 atk monster with non destruction effect that nets you a card via poison or dupe.

tech choices:
-3 tour guide: a engine by itself, not only serves at an instant floater for sangan and then sangan for any frog or sea lancer, but it serves as an instant rank 3 xyz.

-3 LADD and 1 caius: you can summon LADD using any frog or ronin in your hand and swap frog. discard frog or ronin to grave, activate swap´s effect, send a frog or ronin (depending on what you discarded), sumon ronin and tribute both for LADD. then your opponent will have to waste, at least, 2 cards to get rid of it, and if it is destroyed, you will special summon swap frog, activate its effect and send treeborn frog. in your next standby phase, special sumon treeborn and tribute both treeborn and swap for 2nd LADD if you have it in your hand and keep on gettin pluses negating your opp´s cards. the sole caius is here to get rid of problematic cards, as usual.

-1 salvage: nice card, since is a free +1 in hand and can bring back your destroyed sea lancer to hand to repeat the play again (summon, equip and so). it also provides frogs in graveyar to keep on special summoning swap frog and fill the graveyard as quik as possible. eg: discard frog for swap´s effect, send ronin, bounce swap, activate salvage, discard and send one more frog and one more ronin, banish both frogs sent to grave (dupe + poison draw) for both ronin, overlay for gachi gachi, tribute swap for sea lancer, activate sea lancer´s effect and equip both banished frogs. then you have a 2700 atk monster and a gachi gachi.

-1 treacherous trap hole: free +1 on field, destroy 2 of your opp´s monsters for free, or destroy 1 of your opp and 1 sangan/dupe frog, and get a search. nice card is nice.


extra deck (15)
1 windup zenmaines
1 leviair
1 utopia ray
1 gaia dragon, the thunder charger
3 gachi gachi
1 dark mist
2 E HERO absolute zero
1 leviathan
1 chimeratech fortress
1 formula synchron
1 temtempo
1 melomelody


side deck is sort of personal and it depends of what is played in your local area, but a quick draft could be:

side deck (15)
2 superpolimerization (thats why there are 2 absolute zero in the extra deck)
2 dust tornado (dimensional fissure/macro)
2 shadow imprisoning mirror (inzektor/DW)
2 chain dissapearance (all above 1000 atk)
2 royal decree (heavy trap decks)
2 kaiser glider (laggia)
2 MaxxC (combo decks, hieratics)
1 cyber dragon (random machina decks)

hope you have enjoyed and take a chance at non meta decks. one of its pros is the surprise factor.

greetings
