Extra Deck:



The entire strategy of the deck is to continuously respond to cards without chains going any higher than Spell Speed 2, which is the ONLY reason that cards like Dark Bribe aren't being used. In essence, if the deck works as intended, it could very well operate crazy fast, chaining face-down traps and spells from in the hand.

My goal in building the deck was to cram as many Spell Speed 2 cards into the deck as possible, minimizing Spell Speed 1 cards that cannot chain to anything, and eliminating Spell Speed 3 cards that would make it so all of the base chaining cards would immediately stop working.

Feel free to rate the deck, give constructive criticism, and all that!

Here's the official way it works. If someone activates a spell/trap card, you can respond with a spell/trap of your own. From there, the first card activated is Chain Link 1 whilst the card you activated right after is considered Chain Link 2. Therefore, under ideal conditions, you would have to play a minimum of 2 spell/trap cards to get as high as Chain Link 4, which most cards in the deck require, and you'd have to do it BEFORE a Spell Speed 3 card (a.k.a. a Counter Trap) becomes activated within the chain.

That means that, until a card comes out that negates the effects of all Counter Trap cards on the field, a proper chain deck will never be more than a fun deck.

Actually there are.
