Six Samurai: The New Local Bandwagon?

Earlier, like a couple of months ago, there were so many Six Samurai decks that I had to sit there and come up with a side deck specifically for stopping the overrated deck. As a HERO player back in that time, I couldn't get the record against the deck that I wish I could have gotten. The one thing that I absolutely hated about HERO's was that the deck gave me the middle finger now and again, and I opened up with mainly useless cards at that point and time.

Konami reprinted Legendary Six Samurai - Shi En, in the Ra Yellow Mega Pack - Special Edition, which is available at Target, and Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier, Naturia Beast, and Naturia Barkion were reprinted in Gold Series Haunted Mine. The hardest card to get now for the deck is Ally of Justice Catastor. Now we're getting an entire Structure Deck full of Six Samurai reprints, and with the results of Six Samurai around here, I believe that the people that can't top with anything are going to turn to the deck for results.

So lets price the deck up, assuming that we bought a Special Edition, 3 Structure Decks, and then we bought the remaining 4 cards from Troll and Toad.

Decks: $32 (after tax)
Special Edition: $14 (after tax)
Brionac: $12
Beast: $10
Barkion: $10
Catastor: $18
Shipping: $4
Grand Total: $100

Wow. For a very competitive deck in the format that we're in, that's a really cheap deck! I'm going to assume that you have the rest of the staples, Xyz's and cheap Synchro's necessary to build the deck. Of course, if you buy the cards from people, you'll be paying less than that for the deck. So if you're looking for a competitive budget deck, this is the deck for you.

By looking at the spoiler here, you'll know that EVERYTHING you need to make a Six Samurai deck is right in the box! The only cards that you'll need to have that are not in the deck are Shi En, Kagemusha of the Six Samurai, and Asceticism of the Six Samurai. Other than that, you should be good! Also if you have Effect Veiler's, you should use those too. If you don't have them, then you can use Forbidden Chalice, which is available in the Battle Pack.

Am I looking forward to seeing so many Six Samurai players when the deck comes out? To be honest, I'm really not. Well, my Machina Gadgets are an excellent matchup against the deck, so I should have no problem wrecking a local tournament full of them. However, it'll suck having to play the same deck over and over again. I remember when I spent 3 out of 4 rounds playing Samurai, and it got boring. Least I beat 2 of them, where the other one I just wasn't thinking for whatever reason. Oh well.

Anyways, enjoy the budget builder tips. I just hope that not too many people do this. I don't wanna spend the day playing Samurai!
