Edo's Deck Lab:
Devil Franken Deck

I really didn't want to make this deck. Its nastiness and pure cheese factor would give anyone lactose intolerance. It is one of the most evil decks in the world of Duel Monsters, and should NOT be taken lightly.

And that is the precise reason that I made the decision to post this deck on my page. I want people to know FAR ahead of time the nature of this deck. Considering the fact that as the game spreads through U.S., Canada, Britain and other English-speaking countries, this deck will pop up because it is UNFAIR. Players will try to find the most underhanded means possible to win their games so they can gloat.

And this deck will do just that.

This deck is called the Devil Franken Deck, and is also known by the "First Turn Kill Deck".

First Turn Kill is an appropriate name since it can do that: destroy your opponent on your very first turn (if you are going second). It's all because of the main card in the deck: the Devil Franken. It allows you to pay 5000 Life Points to Special Summon a card from your Fusion deck.

Here's how the deck machanism goes:

  1. Get a Devil Franken into your hand.
  2. Clear the Field of your opponent's Monsters (Cyber Pod, Black Hole, Lightning Bolt, etc.)
  3. Clear the Field of your opponent's Magic/Trap cards (Harpy's Feather Sweep, Tempest, etc.)
  4. Summon the Devil Franken
  5. Pay 5000 Life Points to summon a Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon from your Fusion deck
  6. Equip a Giant Growth on the Ultimate Dragon.
  7. Attack directly for 9000 damage.
  8. Game over.

When I first read about the deck, I really couldn't fathom the horror of it. It wasn't until I got the Kaiba Structure deck and tooled around with it did far and above nuke the opposition in numerous test games.

Konami of Japan also saw this horror, and proceeded to restrict Giant Growth to one per deck. This severly limited the power of the deck, since it concentrated on the Ultimate Dragon/Giant Growth combination. This was a good thing. It didn't trash as many people. However, Giant Growth is NO LONGER RESTRICTED, which means that this deck is free to run rampant once again.

You are bound to get a Devil Franken by turn two, whether it be drawing it "naturally" from the deck, using a card-drawing card, or using a Monster search engine (like Black Forest Witch or Critter). And that means the Ultimate Dragon is free to destroy things over and over again. The Cannon Soldiers in this deck are there to launch your Critters and Witches at your opponent to grab the Franken from your deck. The Virus is in the deck for much the same reason. There are some Life Points recovery cards, just in case something goes wrong and you need to recover some LP or you are overly sadistic and want to summon ANOTHER Ultimate Dragon into play (as if one wasn't enough). And of course, to add insult to injury: Last Battle!, to win the game in a different way.

If the game isn't over by turn four, something is VERY WRONG.

Be afraid. BE VERY AFRAID.
