Kaiba would not dirty himself with using a Red-Eyes.

[Terra]

I know Yugi would use BLS - Envoy.

I'm not sure if I'm remembering correctly, but I'm pretty sure Kaiba had Prime Material Dragon (though he never played it) too b/c I coulda sworn I saw it in his hand once.  Instead of REDMD Kaiba would use King Dragun, and I could see him using Queen Dragun since it obviously makes sense they are complementary counterparts designed for each other (I wouldn't be surprised if their lores intertwined).

bumping since tomorrow I start making the decks. I really would like some more opinions. The idea I was using for yugi has Kinda crashed, and I would love some more ideas. Also i still have no clear path for kaiba except maybe a stall tribute based deck or something similar. Blue eyes and lord of D with kots but past that I'm a bit clueless.

[kyros27]

King Dragun for the quick summoning engine imo since REDMD isn't a Kaiba card.  You can splash Paladin in there too if you can get it to fit.  I would also think at least one Dragon's Mirror and Trade-In since I'm pretty sure he ran Trade-In, and I know he brought out Blue Eyes Ultimate, Dragon Master Knight (with Yugi), and I THINK he summoned Five Headed Dragon before (don't remember if that was him or someone else or him+Yugi in tag duel).

It was the big 5 I think, and they went Dragon master to stop it

Use the XYZ Machine-type monsters.  Kaiba seemed to use those a good bit.

He apparently used both that and DMoC. In GX, there was an episode where a guy stole a replica of Yugi's Deck and used it. The Deck had BLS - EotB and DMoC as their "true" ace monsters.

He only used those a couple of times, but if you do use those for your Kaiba deck don't use the sucky v and w guys.

[Cyberlancer]

Using the XYZ cards fits into the description earlier about Kaiba trying to screw over his opponents deck and then ramming for damage.  Plus, they are actually pretty effective when used correctly. I made a Kaiba deck more centered around the XYZ cards and their disruption effects.  I could even hold my own against top decks (of last format).

kool, yes bls will be in yugi, but i need more on the basics of the deck, perhaps something like going prisma to spam dark magician support, and using chaos sorcs for mid beaters with some fusion aspects added in with kots and buster blader + fusion cards? I'm not really sure how to work in dmoc since the effect one is banned so...

Kaiba wise I may use xyz's and such, and the fusions mentioned are a no duh. Just wondering what other things might work. Also i probably wont use vw since those  definitely aren't kabia and they're not as good anyhow.

Anything else to add, Also this may be delayed due to conflicts with other certain games...

Prisma -> Dark Magician -> Dark Paladin wouldn't be too bad.
It would be hilarious to see a Dark Flare -> Mirage Knight deck, though, lol.

[Rothon the Keymaster]

yeah darkflare can go in the extra with 1 mirage in the deck

[storyteller]

Built a Dark Magician fusion deck with Dark Flare/Mirage Knight as its star. It sucks, but it's hilarious.
It's interesting to realize that 3 mirages = gg.

[Rivershock]

How you build a Kaiba deck depends HEAVILY on what part of the anime you base it on. His deck gets more and more dragon-based as the series goes on. (His virtual world and KCGP decks being almost ENTIRELY dragons, with a little of the virusy stuff still in.) Duelist Kingdom was basically just beatdown. Battle City was basically Summon Obelisk ASAP until the finals, where he changed strategies every duel. (His deck was only truely disruptive against Ishizu, ignoring the obvious impact of Spell Sanctuary and Final Attack Orders.)

[Rothon the Keymaster]

well just to update, I've got the yugi deck completed, and its not too bad... well except i don't have any xyz in there but that shall be rectified later. Anyhow I still need a lot of work on kaiba since the one i built so far was total crap... Also sorry I haven't posted these yet but i Have been preoccupied, I will be putting up stuff this weekend, perhaps tomorrow if i am not too busy. so yeah any last thoughts before seeing the decks? otherwise i will simply do my best and hope things work out.

[kyros27]

I can post my kaiba deck later to give some ideas. It only has one xyz, Queen Dragun, but she's ocg. It runs 2x Paladins with good BEWD support along with Lord of D. and other Kaiba staples.

[Rothon the Keymaster]

sure it certainly can't hurt...

[kyros27]

I would post it now, but I'm posting from my phone and not comp lol
