GraveKeepers OOOOOOOOOOO AHHHHHHHHHH EEK!!!

Gravekeeper decks a rare deck type yet has not changed and is still a great deck to make but almost no one does it sad gravekeeper's rock all spell casters all dark and necrovalley the first holo field card rocks 500/500 to gravekeepers and partial grave negation. Not just that Gravekeepers have a risky yet fastest searching gravekeeper spy a Flip effect to get a 1500 or lower gravekeeper one thing I like to note ALL GRAVEKEEPER'S except one HAS 1500 OR LOWER ATTACK. SO basically search any gravekeeper you want. So they have speed and unity power what else hmmmm Oh I know I think it's the Deck devastation since most of them will get 2000 attack that is just DDV Bait and there are a lot of spell caster support magician circle magical dimension heck even Magical Blast and with rite spirit basically trap version monster reborn for gravekeeper that by passes necrovalley and with 9 monsters they can use it can be a good very competitive deck give me your thoughts and tell me weither you agree with me or not?

 

Gravekeeper's have alwayZ been an unapriciated deck type. Back in the Soldier format it was a deck worth being feared. Now it's just one of those decks that are played if it's personal prefrance. THough if you look at the Gravekeeper's deck that was played at the last jump then I could see why you would want to play it.

 

Gravekeepers are nasty. b/c they qualify as spellcasters they can use all that tasty support from the spellcaster structure. they have speed and can put a huge lockdown on ppl abusing 3 chaos sorcerors.

 

Personally I hate gravekeepers( bad experiences in the past....very bad). But the deck is great, with the right cards. My teammate use to run it, and was devastatingly dangerous with them, and that was when the spellcaster structure wasn't even out. I think it would be a kick butt competative deck, as long as you don't contaminate it with idiotic monsters.

(Works like a reverse kuriboh monster's live you take life)

 

Spellcaster support that works with Gks includes Magical Dimension and Magician's Circle. Very awesome deck and theme support isn't coming in the future but it got a nice boost with the Spellcaster Structure deck.

 

I'm still amazed that Gravekeeper's hasn't made a top 8 in a big tournment.I can see why but it is still a deck to be feared. Spellcaster suppot, chao's sorcerer negation, and DDV support. As feared as DDV is in thise tech or be teched game in a average GK deck there are 4 Monsters that can abuse DDV with necrovalley on the feild.Including that Necrovalley still holds up as the best feild card in my book.Others give just power to a certain attribute or a certain card. Necrovalley is the only True Tech Feild card, besides clocktower but that one is much more difficult to use then necrovalley that kills premature, call of the haunted,sangan and Chao Sorcerer.

 

Gravekeepers are just to unstable to work. For DDV to go off you need at least 3 cards on the field. Which by the way you lose 2 cards. The only way it becomes a plus is if your opponent losses 3 or more cards. In a meta where monsters cionsist of Monarchs, Cyber Dragons, and Sorcerers it may be hard to do just that.

 

even with monarchs, cyber dragons, and sorcerers (oh my), a good gravekeeper deck would be fast and gain presence before the typical C4 would. i don't seeing ddv doing much, but if we were to get crush card then gravekeepers would surely be a deck worth running.

 

That's if we get Crush Card. At teh momment we don't have it so whats the point of mentioning it? I can give a link to a good gravekeepers deck that didn't make it to top 8 so obviously sometings not right.
