Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hey. I was wondering if any of you could give some advice on my current Gravekeeper's deck. I know it's probably pretty lame compared to most decks out there, but that's why I'm trying to get help / advice on how to make it better. I could really use the help.

Note::
In some areas it's just meant to be for fun [e.g.:: Obelisk], but now I've decided I wanna go ahead and actually try to make it where it's not just fun, but it's fun and really, really good [and not just with my hometown friends].

also if u wanna be extra awsome u should try genex ally birdman!

If you're asking me, then yes, I am willing to try and obtain Dualities. I'm willing to try my hardest to get my hands on anything that I need to make this deck virtually unbeatable [although no deck is actually unbeatable, decks can be almost unbeatable, as you -probably- already know].

Question::
What did you mean to put in the second space where you put a second group of Gravekeeper's Spies? I just noticed that you accidentally put 'em twice and that the first one says X3 and the second one says x2. I figured I need x3 Spies, so I figured you probably meant to put something else in that space that says x2. sweatdrop

A low monster count ensures that youre royal tributes will go off without minuses to you. also all recruiters give you another gk same with spies and also the dualitys let u pick up monsters if none are in youre hand if you have monsters in the grave you can just use stele to add them back and get an instant +1 and by the way I would wait till gold series 4 on picking up dualities they're probably gonna get reprinted. also if you play the build and dont like the monster count try genex ally birdman he's a tuner and he recycles youre gk spies

Okay. I'll send you a PM now then. :] Hopefully we can work something out. I've got a bit of a build written down at my house that I'm working on getting. It's about the same as the ones you guys mentioned, but not quite. Naturally, as a duelist, I've put my own self into the deck. I'm still working on it, though. Right now I just have a 'sketched out' deck list.

Monsters:: 21
x3 Gravekeeper's Recruiter
x3 Gravekeeper's Descendant
x3 Gravekeeper's Commandant
x3 Gravekeeper's Spy
x2 Gravekeeper's Chief These are not necessary.
x2 Gravekeeper's Guard Decent tech but will be dropped for now.
x1 Gravekeeper's Priestess This is not necessary.
x1 Gravekeeper's Assailant I'd run two, it's rather good.
x1 Gravekeeper's Visionary
x1 Sangan
x1 Mystic Tomato None of these are necessary.

Traps:: 10
x2 Bottomless Trap Hole Need to be replaced by Solemn Warnings, they are easily superior
x2 Dimensional Prison
x1 Royal Oppression
x1 Solemn Judgement
x1 Mirror Force
x1 Torrential Tribute
x1 Seven Tools of the Bandit
x1 Magic Drain This is not necessary.

Spells:: 14
x3 Necrovalley
x3 Pot of Duality
x2 Gravekeeper's Stele
x2 Mystical Space Typhoon
x1 Book of Moon
x1 Allure of Darkness
x1 Giant Trunade As there are really no "big pushes" in this deck, this isn't really necessary. If you want more MT hate, I suggest Dust Tornado. Otherwise, simply cut this. I'd cut it, if we need a 40th card, then you could throw it in.
x1 Royal Tribute There's no reason not to run two of these. Ever. Side out of them, sure but main two.

So, after cuts and replacements we have...
Monsters:: 14
x3 Gravekeeper's Recruiter
x3 Gravekeeper's Descendant
x3 Gravekeeper's Commandant
x3 Gravekeeper's Spy
x2 Gravekeeper's Assailant

Traps:: 09
x2 Solemn Warning
x2 Dimensional Prison
x1 Royal Oppression
x1 Solemn Judgement
x1 Mirror Force
x1 Torrential Tribute
x1 Seven Tools of the Bandit

Spells:: 14
x3 Necrovalley
x3 Pot of Duality
x2 Gravekeeper's Stele
x2 Mystical Space Typhoon
x1 Book of Moon
x1 Allure of Darkness
x2 Royal Tribute

We're now at 37. A far cry from the 45 of the original list. Usually I would stick in three Upstart Goblins to dig for the Royal Tributes but first the most important part is the basic staple of double Effect Veiler. In a very combo oriented format (thus far), Effect Veiler at two is basically a staple. That jumps us up to 39. The final card is up to you. For me I'd drop Mirror Force and probably Book of Moon for triple Upstart Goblin. That'd set the deck to 40.

Other tech ideas:
Compulsory Evacuation Device
Spirit Reaper
Malefic Stardust Dragon More side deck than main.
Smashing Ground More side deck than main.
Caius the Shadow Monarch More side deck than main.

There you go.
