Dark Irregular Deck Profile (Pre-May 22 ban list)

Hello Cardfighters!  Major Spades here with a deck profile.  This time I will be introducing my Dark Irregular deck profile before the May 22nd ban.  In my opinion, Dark Irregulars are a very unique and a fun clan with having skills of gaining soul for the Vanguard to kick off various abilities.  I liked Dark Irregulars since limit break when Blade Wing, Reijy came out.  My personal favorite was "Darkness" with Scharhrot.  Scharhrot is my favorite unit because of his art, and his art is more amazing in the upcoming Rummy Labyrinth set for standard.  For this profile, the point of the deck is to compress as much triggers in deck as possible due to that some units can select units to soul charge rather than random soul charging like triggers.  This deck early game is to turbo compress as fast as possible.  It relies on having 3 different units that share the same name to pop off Variants Hardleg to



have the opponent guard with 3 cards for each attack.  The point is to build up soul from cards like Yellow Bolt, Emblem Master and Brufas.  When the 13 card in soul threshold is met along with the 3 different units that share the same name for No Life King, Death Anchor, then Hardleg will trigger when placed.  Then attack with the first wave of attacks then re-ride from NLK to another or if there are 15 cards in soul, ride into Master of Fifth Element to re-stand all units that haven't been soul charged from NLK's skill.  Then attack with the second wave of attacks.  The strength of Dark Irregulars is that they have a re-riding Vanguard that generates Protect markers, 2 grade 3 units that have early criticals for early to late game pressure and a unit that forces a lot of guard from hand for each attack.  The weakness is that it can't stand to decks that rush early, and Accel clans that have multi-attacks like Aqua Force especially Narukami due to that Vanquisher can give the entire front row 10k if 3 cards were bound.  It's sad to see Variants Hardleg go, but I hope in the new upcoming Dark Irregular set that it makes up for it.  Now to the profile:

Grade 3's:
4x: Demonic Deep Phantasm Emperor, Brufas (This unit generates soul, ideal first ride, sets up soul by soul charging up to 3 cards of identical units for Hardleg, and it retires a unit on board and gains the power of the unit and gets a critical which is good for pressuring your opponent.)
4x: No Life King, Death Anchor (Its a re-riding Vanguard that can choose any grade 3 from soul to re-ride, it gains 2k for every card in soul when placed on Vanguard circle, it also gives the re-riden unit a critical which is good for pressure.)
4x: Number of Terror (Good rear guard for draw power for a cost of soul charging a rear guard, it also gains 10k power and 10k shield if there are 10 cards in soul so it's great offensive and defensive.)
1x: Master of the Fifth Element (Re-stands all units on board, great combo with Hardleg having make multiple guarding for waves of attacks for the opponent hard.)

Grade 2's:
4x: Variants Hardleg (This is the end game, it makes your opponent guard 3 cards for each attack.)
4x: Emblem Master (This unit helps generate soul for Hardlegs by selecting 1 unit on board and selecting 3 copies of that unit from deck to soul.)

Grade 1's:
4x: Variants Killertail (This unit is a counter charger and it soul charges too from damage or drop.  It also re-stands if there are 3 copies of her in soul.)
4x: Yellow Bolt (Soul charger, it gains 5k when it attacks an opposing grade 2 or greater Vanguard, it even draws a card if you soul charge a trigger or more from his skill when rode upon.)
4x: Alluring Succubus (She soul charges herself to look for 2 grade 3's from top 7 of deck, and one of those 3's go to hand and the other to soul.  Great for looking for your pieces and deck compression.)

Grade 0's:
4x: Blitzritter (Critical)
4x: Werluchs Gefreiter (Critical)
4x: March Rabbit of Nightmareland (Draw PG)
4x: Cursed Doctor (Heal)
1x: Devil in Shadow (Starting Vanguard)

Darkness: Blade Wings

Darkness: Blade Wings

Hello Cardfighters!  Major Spades here with another deck profile to present to you.  This time it is Blade Wings.  I love how the deck soul charges and recycles deck from Tibold's skill.  It compresses the deck late game for triggers, and Sullivan skill raises my defenses to get to that late game.  The funny part is that I tend to win by my opponent decking out if he/she isn't playing legion decks.  Now lets get into the deck profile.

Grade 3's:

“Arise from the Abyss of Darkness and Strike Down those who Oppose you Dark Irregulars”

 Hello Cardfighters.  I have returned with another deck profile that I am still enjoying.  I wanted to present this article and another with my two Tachikaze builds that I love to death before I depart to FanimeCon.  To begin, my Dark Irregular build is a high number beat down deck with Master of the Fifth Element and King of Masks, Dantarian.  It also has Doreen the Thruster in the deck too for additional power and very high numbered columns.  Why I like Dark Irregulars personally?  One, I like the clan mechanic of soul charging and getting additional trigger skills from soul charging.  Two, most of the units are Halloween themed, and Halloween is my number one favorite holiday because of candy (LOVE IT!) and cosplaying (LOVE IT!).  Last, some of the units reference Alice in Wonderland, and Alice in Wonderland is a personal childhood favorite along with Sleeping Beauty.  I like how Dark Irregulars give them a dark theme.  My most favorite character in Alice is always the Cheshire Cat.  It was kind of sad that there is no actual Alice in Dark Irregulars, but she ended up as a doll in the Pale Moon clan….soo sad.  Without further delay, here is my deck profile, and I hope you enjoy it.    

Grade 0’s:

1x Greedy Hand (starting Vanguard to put a grade 2 or lower Dark Irregulars into my soul [Dimension Creeper] for one counterblast and moving Greedy Hands to the soul)

4x Cheshire Cat of Nightmareland (Heal)

4x Dark Knight of Nightmareland (Critical and a skill that gives a unit a 3k boost by moving Dark Knight into the soul from rear guard circle)

4x Blitzritter (Critical)

4x Hysteric Shirley (Draw and skill to move her into soul to do an additional soul charge)

Grade 1’s:

4x March Rabbit of Nightmareland (perfect guard)

4x Dimension Creeper (take out from soul to drop zone to soul charge 2)

3x Doreen the Thruster (special booster that gains 3k for any card that gets soul charged)

3x Poet of Darkness, Amon (a 9k booster when my Vanguard has 6 or more cards in the soul)

Grade 2’s:

3x Emblem Master (counterblast 1 and soul charge 3 cards when he hits the Vanguard)

2x Gwynn the Ripper (counterblast 2 to retire an opponent’s grade 2 or less rear guard)

3x Werwolf Sieger (10k unit)

3x Demon of Aspiration, Amon (11k unit if my Vanguard has 6 or more cards in the soul)

Grade 3’s:

4x King of Masks, Dantarian (Dark Irregular’s break ride that gives my Vanguard a 10k power boost and gives 3 of my rear guards 1000k for each card in my soul)

4x Master of the Fifth Element (Another power generating unit that gives all my rear guards an additional 3k if I have 10 or more cards in the soul from his limit break, and he soul charges 3 if he hits the Vanguard)

Overall the deck is soo good in getting very high number columns.  Rather than playing Amon or Amon Reverse, I chose a deck that can do work just by combining soul charge with Doreen’s skill to get me really strong attacks along with the break ride and Master that forces my opponent to take damage or drop their entire hand.  Sad that Master is a 10k based unit, but he does have a very good skill with no counter blasting.  The deck is fun, and it takes time and patience to get the combos off at the right time which is challenging, but I love challenging decks/clans.  I was also thinking of putting stand triggers, but that is still in the testing grounds.  I hope you enjoyed this profile and keep fighting Cardfighters.
