Deck Description
Thank you to DNX Staff for producing this amazing deck, and also Lorelei for writing this article. Today I would like to share with you a deck called: [YCS Providence 2012] Gladiator Beast - 9th Place. This is a meta deck. In a meta deck, the most important feature is the efficiency. These decks are specially thought for winning a competition in fewest turns possible. This deck uses the October 2012 REDU/Wind-Up banlist. This deck was first shared on 2026-08-09.
I like to go second at the start of the duel whenever possible with this deck. This is an Aggro deck. Aggro decks have a high frequency of OTK's. OTK stands for One Turn Kill. They remove or devalue cards and have a linear playstyle. Aggro decks lack defense. This deck is moderately easy to play.
I would also like to mention that the main deck has 41 cards.
The Dueling Nexus deck editor is by far the best and easiest to use deck editor in the world. I highly suggest using the shuffle button before you duel with this deck. This way you can see your potential opening hands.
