Here's the deck list as some people were asking for it. If you do decide to build the deck, just know that half the extra deck really isn't required. I put asterisks next to the extra deck monsters I thought were most important to have. If I make another video on the deck, I will probably just fill it out with multiple copies of Doom Virus and Mirror Force Dragon. Main Deck Monsters • Tour Guide from the Underworld - 3x • Scarm, malebranch of the burning abyss - 1x • Lilith, lady of lament - 3x • Ahrima, Wicked Warden - 3x • Artifact scythe - 2x • Darkest diabolos, lord of the lair - 2x Spells • Terraforming - 1x • Fang of Critias - 3x • Pot of prosperity - 2x • Lair of darkness - 3x • Super polymerization - 2x Traps • Crush card virus - 3x • Mirror force - 2x • Ring of destruction - 1x • Eradicator epidemic virus - 3x • Artifact sanctum - 3x • Trap trick - 3x Extra Deck • Doom Virus Dragon * • Mudragon of the swamp * • Earth golem @ ignister • Mirror force dragon * • Starving venom fusion dragon * • Predaplant dragostapelia * • Destruction dragon • Predaplant Triphyoverutum * • Leviair the Sea Dragon • Wind-up Zenmaines • Knightmare Cerberus • Knightmare Phoenix • Beat cop from the underworld • Cross-sheep • Predaplant Verte Anaconda *
@@lkindness • Floo isn't great since they are way more consistent than we are. Scythe is pretty bad here too. I've been thinking about running 1 copy of Moralltach again both for fun and for sanctum consistency. But crush card and mirror force are surprisingly good since people don't really expect battle traps nowadays. • Adventure is not that bad honestly. If we can bait the negate or get lair on board, we can tribute the token for cost and they can't activate gryphon rider at all. Same goes for DPE. Tributing a DPE for cost is a great feeling. • Eldlich is also not terrible. Skill drain turns off our monsters, but we can still activate Lilith to tribute for cost. Plus, eradicator epidemic calling trap is hilarious. I don't want people to think this is the new meta deck or anything. Meta decks are way more consistent. But I like rogue strategies and wanted to show off some really unique and fun things you can do with this deck that most people don't see coming.
@@iremiagaming Would you sub out the artefact engine to run lord of the heavenly prison / dark sacrifice instead? or how would you balance it around potentially adding those cards
@@AGuyCalledGooby Yeah, Heavenly Prison is busted. Pulling the artifact stuff for that and some more hand traps would be the best way to go. I just didn't have heavenly prison when I made the deck.
If anyone wants to run this deck and is looking for some good backrow protection, don’t sleep on Dark Sacrifice. You get 3 free copies from the danger solo gate, it allows you to protect any card destruction at the cost of sending one lv3 monster from your deck to your grave. You can send scarm and use it’s effect pick up Lilith or tour guide at the end of the turn.
Lord of the heavenly prison is searchable in this deck. Instead of searching a Diablos you search that. And it gives you a free prosperity, extravagance, super poly all while being protected by the lord. It's nice. Play one Diablo and one lord. You'll thank me later..
So let me start by saying you have a new subscriber here! I only run rogue/anti-meta in both MD and the TCG. I find it to be very satisfying to make a meta player rage against a non meta deck. Lair is also one of my top 3 favorite decks of all time. What really got me though was your amazing commentary of the duels. Keep up the good work!!!
I like the editing you do! definitely different! But I'm so happy someone else thought to do this! I have a similar deck in a deck box somewhere and I must say it is very fun. For me at least. It's one of those shower thought decks where it's a funny idea that probably shouldn't work but works anyways.
The fact this has so many views and you have so little subscribers is super criminal! Your video quality as well as gameplay analyzing is on par with people like Loom. Def an earned sub and I really hope the channel grows!!
Also, it's a pain in the ass to use since you have to type out the card to search, but Mind Crush might be an interesting addition to this deck since you get to see your opponent's hands so much.
I actually pulled a royal mind crush from the legacy packs, it's just there are so many good choices for trap slots. Could potentially pull a key combo piece though.
Great editing. Great duels. Buster Blader is actually cracked specifically because of stopping “activations”. It completely cucks my Kozmos sometimes since the biggest draw of Kozmos is they activate their effects off field by paying for cost. Although like you saw, the best way to deal with BB is actually trap cards.
I haven't tried lair of darkness in a long time and this actually makes me want to play it again thanks and seeing some comments there is also some cool add on that could possibly make it better love the virus cards and fang.
My favorite cards to play with Lair of Darkness is a Lord of the Heavenly Prison (protects your set spells/traps) and the three Wicked God cards. If you use Small World, Ahrima and Lilith are your starters, Lord of the Heavenly Prison or Diabolos are your bridge cards and that will lead to all 3 Wicked God cards
I had the mats and wanted a fun deck for casual play. I went 12-0 in casual and 7-2 in Ranked. I had some lucky top decks but Calling Eradicater Trap on Eldlich and Spell on Striker felt so good. Also summoning Doom Virus Dragon and wiping a field is hilarious. Thank you so much for the deck profile👍
You big brain. You used the constant knowledge of your opponent’s hand to see if it was clear to activate certain cards or if you needed to bait. More importantly with that knowledge you knew when to make aggressive plays without being punished.
Never did I think I'd see ANY of the Legendary Dragons see any sort of competitive play in Master Duel, besides the odd-Timaeus play in Dark Magicians Now, make a Benkei Hermos deck, I dare you
Definitely gonna revise my Dankest Lair deck. Used a rank 8 variant beatdown which is hilarious but this seems like an even more hilarious way to troll.
I actually play a variation of this that run certain handtraps like gamma, nibiru, token collector and maxx c with the goal of tributing my opponents monsters using the virus cards mostly. I still enjoy playing it although it starts to be quite annoying when I either don't get the field spell, or the enemy has so many ways of removing the field spell. Seeing this video, I might try things out differently. I actually refused to include tour guide in my deck mostly because of the permanent effect negation. Thanks for the tips
Consider playing Link Spider instead of Levi. You need two differently named monsters to go into Beat Cop. Use a token to go into Spider. Then Spider and a Token to go into Beat Cop. Same applies to your other link twos. Also Dimensional Barrier is a great budget alternatives for the Scythe/Sanctum package. While weaker it can't be Ash'd which is huge.
If you want to be more spacy about this you can also add prohibition so you can add another way to completely counter 1 card like eldlich or just use it to call ggez
So, patchwork and edge imp chain are a fusion engine that searches poly and gives you a monster. It's played because fusions usually require going negative in card economy (getting rid of cards in hand/field in order to fuse). Patchwork gives you both Poly and a dark monster to fuse with that then searches another copy of patchwork for another fusion play on the following turn.
First video I am watching from you and gotta say I like your voice and the way you explain whats going on! I only really play duel links so despia, swordsoul and the like are complete mysteries to me. You got a new subscriber
I think you can get to Diamond with just about any functional strategy. Some decks will just take longer than others. Most of the games I played with this one were high platinum or low diamond. I obviously focused more on the "fun" strategies with Critias, but you could streamline it with stuff like heavenly prison for more consistency.
Please do another Guide on this game please I would really appreciate also , I would love if played another deck similar to how you made this video please
10:07 Being a little pedantic here, but Swordsoul didn't make a mistake, unless they had Ash in hand for the Ahrima search and just decided not to use it for some reason. Blackout targets one Wyrm they control and specifically 2 cards their opponent controls. The second card you had on field was Super Poly, which obviously can't be responded to. That's why Swordsoul kinda sucks despite them being consistent. They go against any rogue deck that isn't heavily reliant on monster effects and they just fall apart. Cool matches, though. Forgot how good Doom Virus Dragon is.
Lol the new kaiser glider dragon is a quick effect to tribute a monster on your field which that be a nice hand trap for lair of darkness. I know it's not in master duel since it's still new but just a thought if they add it. Other then that I have most of these cards minus the prosperity and tour guide and the burning abyss plus slot of the extra deck but I do have all the critias fusions just wish we had a better way to search this stuff or I hope we get a monster version of critias like how timeias got one.
The card is busted. You get to search whatever virus is ideal for the matchup your in and protect your spell/traps. Plus it's dark, so you get a minor bonus for your main theme and can use it with super poly. It should work pretty well!
Personally I think critias is the best of the legendary dragons all the versions of it are super useful. If I need filler cards I just add that one. I’m trying to figure out a way to make an effective deck with all three.
Yeah, it's tough. There are way too many URs in this deck. The extra deck doesn't really matter though, and you can pull the Critias fusions as SRs from legacy packs.
For this deck I feel like the Lord or the heavenly prison is just so vital when you go first, as it let's you keep all these trap cards safe if they just rip mto a harpies or a lightning storm. Can't wait for the Alice and Loris ladies of lament to be added to really make this deck shine. If those do get added, what do you think would need to be dropped to keep the deck functional or are they just auto includes and increase the deck size?
Yup, I have Heavenly Prison in the deck for the next Lair video I’m working. As far as the new ladies of lament, I’ve been playing without the artifact engine; I’d probably trim some traps too.
They couldn't activate blackout when you played lair, you only had 1 card on the field. The super poly for the second card but they can't respond. Great deck and plays.
The structure deck hasn't been reprinted in a while, but I think the deck is still affordable. Hopefully, Heavenly Prison will be reprinted next month in the mega tins. Otherwise, I think the deck is really fun and unique. It probably won't win if your locals has a lot of meta decks though.
everytime I play lair, it bricks so hard and can't even keep back row for long (even with lord of heavenly prison) in my deck, just gets blasted away by harpies. almost never fails to get wiped before Lilith can come out to play. spend the entirety of the match recovering
Do you mean "Lord of the Heavenly Prison"? That might be a different translation of the card though. Anyway, yeah! I'm going to add him in for whenever I get around to another video on the deck.
1:08 "Of course negated, but she can still tribute as a quick effect" HUH???? I thought her effects were NEGATED DUE TO TOUR GUIDE!! In my mind, if a special summon negates all the effects of the monster you summoned, that means ALL of them are negated forever until you special summon again, including quick effects. I'm so confused...
Tour guide says the monster's effect are negated, but they can still be activated kind of like how skill drain works. So, Lilith can still activate her effect and she has to pay the cost to do so. The "tribute a monster" text on Lilith is part of the COST for activation (comes before a semi colon). This lets us remove a monster by tributing them, but the effect to search traps gets negated. Plus, because it's a cost, it can't be responded to so you can get rid of stuff like DPE this way. Yes, Yugioh is a silly and confusing game.
Generally going first because you want to set up your traps before the opponent can do anything. Consistency is a hard metric when we're talking about off meta decks. Yes, it will absolutely brick. Saying it's a mid Platinum deck is probably fair. That said, you can get to diamond with just about anything; you might just have to play more toward the end of the month though. :)
This is one of those “Yugioh rules are silly complicated” moments. Lilith’s effect is negated, but she can still activate it and pay the cost. Since tributing a monster is part of the cost (before the semi colon) I could still tribute a monster and thus summon Diabolos.
Hello ^^ I wanted to ask you a question : As Predaplant Verte Anaconda is banned in TCG, what should I use to replace it? Also, great video, I loved it, continue like that, you deserve to succeed
Thanks! So, it's tough. Nothing really does what verte does, but that's why it's banned. We only run it for the super poly play with lair. I mentioned in my comment with the deck list that most of the extra deck is personal preference. I would probably just put in more generic stuff like I.P. and Unicorn along with two copies of doom virus and mirror force dragon. Or you could always go deep on the dark attribute theme and play the link Dharc charmer to steal your opponent's DPE after they use it to kill your lair. It probably won't play out like it does in my head, but it's funny to think about.
@@jordanarnould9056 That's a really nice thing to say! Wow, honestly I wasn't expecting any of my content to take off like this, I was just doing it for me because it was fun. I'll have to take a look at making a server for the channel, but it will probably be a while before I make anything public. Until then, just leave a comment, I've been reading and answering as many as I can. Thanks again!
@@jordanarnould9056 That's a really nice offer. I think I'll make one and invite you at some point. Then you can feel free to make recommendations. But, I really want to focus on recording and making more videos before I have to go back to school, so no promises when that might be. I hope that's ok. Also, I just noticed your avatar is Nicol Bolas! I don't find many people who like both yugioh and mtg.
Not seeing ash blossom from opening hand 9/10 games plus only one 5min long turn synchro/fusion/xyz/link lockdown set up makes me think these games are the rare few. Fun to watch but against the toxic meta it's sadly falling short unless you get set up first AND don't get handtrapped
Yeah! Once per turn, if you would tribute a monster for an effect, you can tribute a monster your opponent controls. Since a lot of effects have the tribute as a cost, you can remove monsters like DPE before they have a chance to activate anything in response.
@@thedemonpit That's weird. I see it on my screen.

LMAO Kaiba was like sycccccck watch me lmaooooooo. Thank you for this video I have been looking for a deck that I could uswe against the bastard of a metas i rebuke you all . In the name of Kaiba muahahahaha .
Thanks so much for this man! Been wanting to have a virus themed deck that's at least halfway decent win rate for awhile now. Question, do you think running one or two copies of Token collector would be worth it?
Depends on how often you feel like you're facing adventure and Swordsoul. I think the card is really good right now, but it's dead against Floo and Eldlich. I told someone else this, but if you want to make the deck more competitive, the first thing I would take out would be ring of destruction and destruction dragon. It's mostly in there for the "one of, fun of" since it's a Critias deck.
@@iremiagaming Thanks for the advice, might just take your suggestion and replace ring with another copy of Lord of Heavenly Poison or something. Finding that card to be another really great addition to this deck.
*Draws card that actually wins you the duel * "Eh this card is kinda good i guess" the fact that duels end by turn 2 is ridiculous, this game is honestly trash.
Here's the deck list as some people were asking for it. If you do decide to build the deck, just know that half the extra deck really isn't required. I put asterisks next to the extra deck monsters I thought were most important to have.

So many decks like sacred beast and chaos max have suffered the mighty lilith tribute amd they ragrquit everytime xD

Damn. Not only card descriptions onscreen as you played, but you got me with the Hitman Reborn music.
Thanks! I wish I could use it more, but it gets copyright struck. It fits the outro so well.
You could add Mask Hero II to go into Dark Law after resolving Doom Virus Dragon since his effect is lingering and does not require him to be face-up
This deck doesn't seem like it draws too much so that might be bad for hand resources
Yo that katekyo hitman reborn music at the end brought back so many memories

I will never understand the thought process of. Opponent plays frighfur spell, Player they are playing despia.

Can you give an updated deck list on what cards to replace since EEV, PoP are limited and Scythe is banned?
very fun thx and i get tour guide royal making the deck awesome
That's awesome! Tour guide can be used in a good amount of decks, too. Burning Abyss comes to mind.

@@iremiagaming you never fail to amaze me
One of my favourite decks! In fact...let me go get my console...
Been building this deck as a normal LoD Virus deck and been seeing people run Lord of Heavenly Prison, thoughts?
The card is busted. You get to search whatever virus is ideal for the matchup your in and protect your spell/traps. Plus it's dark, so you get a minor bonus for your main theme and can use it with super poly. It should work pretty well!
you should also consider using doom king balerdroch, with the field spell up its basically free tribute bait every turn.
Personally I think critias is the best of the legendary dragons all the versions of it are super useful. If I need filler cards I just add that one. I’m trying to figure out a way to make an effective deck with all three.
I also think loris as the drcks new pot of recycle gonna replace one of the extras and then alice as instead of scarm or a tour guide
You have an nice Voice to listen to.

Thanks so much!
One time in one of the ps4 yugi games I summoned doom vdragon and destroyed everything the cpu had
damn those URs..

Yup, I have Heavenly Prison in the deck for the next Lair video I’m working.
As far as the new ladies of lament, I’ve been playing without the artifact engine; I’d probably trim some traps too.
I didn’t have your deck I had my Lair darkness with gx gods and exzodia but picking all spells is so funny love doing that against dis players 🤣🤣🤣
They couldn't activate blackout when you played lair, you only had 1 card on the field.
The super poly for the second card but they can't respond. Great deck and plays.
Yeah, didn't know blackout must target 2 cards at the time. Thought it was just another icarus attack.
this is like kaiju but better, because the virus and lair do so so so much more.
that looks like a very fun deck
Could this be a good deck on locals? Is it worth to make it with real cards? Thoughts
The structure deck hasn't been reprinted in a while, but I think the deck is still affordable. Hopefully, Heavenly Prison will be reprinted next month in the mega tins.
Otherwise, I think the deck is really fun and unique. It probably won't win if your locals has a lot of meta decks though.
everytime I play lair, it bricks so hard and can't even keep back row for long (even with lord of heavenly prison) in my deck, just gets blasted away by harpies. almost never fails to get wiped before Lilith can come out to play. spend the entirety of the match recovering
Then play cards that benefit destruction like waking the dragon. You can set it with trap trick during a chain and make them pay for it.
You need to run 3 dark sacrifices.
Solid commentary
You need King of the Sky Prison so you can search Critias from deck and it’s searchable with ahrima. I have a deck like this with 1 critias
Do you mean "Lord of the Heavenly Prison"? That might be a different translation of the card though. Anyway, yeah! I'm going to add him in for whenever I get around to another video on the deck.
@@iremiagaming definitely. And yeah sky prison was the og name but they changed it
What’s the highest rank you have gotten with this deck?
Diamond 5 I think. I don't usually play to rank up though. I just play a bunch of random stuff for fun.
1:08 "Of course negated, but she can still tribute as a quick effect" HUH???? I thought her effects were NEGATED DUE TO TOUR GUIDE!! In my mind, if a special summon negates all the effects of the monster you summoned, that means ALL of them are negated forever until you special summon again, including quick effects. I'm so confused...
Tour guide says the monster's effect are negated, but they can still be activated kind of like how skill drain works. So, Lilith can still activate her effect and she has to pay the cost to do so. The "tribute a monster" text on Lilith is part of the COST for activation (comes before a semi colon). This lets us remove a monster by tributing them, but the effect to search traps gets negated. Plus, because it's a cost, it can't be responded to so you can get rid of stuff like DPE this way. Yes, Yugioh is a silly and confusing game.
@@iremiagaming ah I see. That makes my irl darkness deck even more powerful if I chose to include Tour Guide in it. I gotta keep that in mind.
is this a going first or second deck? is it pretty consistent or do you brick a lot?
Generally going first because you want to set up your traps before the opponent can do anything.
Consistency is a hard metric when we're talking about off meta decks. Yes, it will absolutely brick. Saying it's a mid Platinum deck is probably fair. That said, you can get to diamond with just about anything; you might just have to play more toward the end of the month though. :)
I don't recognize the extra deck that well, what are the extra deck cards?
I think I pinned the deck list in the comments.
in the last game, how were you able to summon diabolos by lilith if its effect was negated by tour guide?
This is one of those “Yugioh rules are silly complicated” moments. Lilith’s effect is negated, but she can still activate it and pay the cost. Since tributing a monster is part of the cost (before the semi colon) I could still tribute a monster and thus summon Diabolos.
Hello ^^ I wanted to ask you a question : As Predaplant Verte Anaconda is banned in TCG, what should I use to replace it?
Also, great video, I loved it, continue like that, you deserve to succeed
Thanks! So, it's tough. Nothing really does what verte does, but that's why it's banned. We only run it for the super poly play with lair. I mentioned in my comment with the deck list that most of the extra deck is personal preference.
I would probably just put in more generic stuff like I.P. and Unicorn along with two copies of doom virus and mirror force dragon. Or you could always go deep on the dark attribute theme and play the link Dharc charmer to steal your opponent's DPE after they use it to kill your lair. It probably won't play out like it does in my head, but it's funny to think about.
@@iremiagaming Thanks ^^ These are great ideas! Do u have maybe a discord server where I Can contact you?
@@jordanarnould9056 That's a really nice thing to say! Wow, honestly I wasn't expecting any of my content to take off like this, I was just doing it for me because it was fun.
I'll have to take a look at making a server for the channel, but it will probably be a while before I make anything public. Until then, just leave a comment, I've been reading and answering as many as I can. Thanks again!
@@iremiagaming If you want, I Can assist you in creating one ^^
@@jordanarnould9056 That's a really nice offer. I think I'll make one and invite you at some point. Then you can feel free to make recommendations. But, I really want to focus on recording and making more videos before I have to go back to school, so no promises when that might be. I hope that's ok.
Also, I just noticed your avatar is Nicol Bolas! I don't find many people who like both yugioh and mtg.
Not seeing ash blossom from opening hand 9/10 games plus only one 5min long turn synchro/fusion/xyz/link lockdown set up makes me think these games are the rare few.
Fun to watch but against the toxic meta it's sadly falling short unless you get set up first AND don't get handtrapped
I tried this and I just couldn't run it guys I run with smashed I dismantled my synchro deck to make this too 🤦🏾♂️
Does lair of darkness tribute monsters your opponent controls instead of yours or both?
Yeah! Once per turn, if you would tribute a monster for an effect, you can tribute a monster your opponent controls. Since a lot of effects have the tribute as a cost, you can remove monsters like DPE before they have a chance to activate anything in response.
The opening is so funny
Do you have an actual card list, as I’m not sure what one of the UR’s is.

soundtrack 13:39
Can you make a list of the cards
Just commented a deck list. :)
What’s the extra deck card list
Just commented a deck list. :)
Quite expensive to build though
Oof, game 2.
DOOM VIRUS DRAGON GANG RISE UP!!!!!!
Thanks so much for this man! Been wanting to have a virus themed deck that's at least halfway decent win rate for awhile now.
Question, do you think running one or two copies of Token collector would be worth it?
Depends on how often you feel like you're facing adventure and Swordsoul. I think the card is really good right now, but it's dead against Floo and Eldlich. I told someone else this, but if you want to make the deck more competitive, the first thing I would take out would be ring of destruction and destruction dragon. It's mostly in there for the "one of, fun of" since it's a Critias deck.
@@iremiagaming Thanks for the advice, might just take your suggestion and replace ring with another copy of Lord of Heavenly Poison or something. Finding that card to be another really great addition to this deck.
Lmaooo at Kaiba lool
Good video
This vietual world player was bad as f
So many UR....
bye bye meta
Standard swordsoul rage quit
they ragequit? my guy he just forfeit. how would u know they ragequit? u had him on a 1 turn clock and he was topdecking outs. ofc he leaves.
Mainly because of "lost connection". Surrendering/losing is totally fine. It's part of the game.
Nunca gostei de yu-gi-oh que muda muita regra eu vou pela regra do anime é regra certa
*Draws card that actually wins you the duel *
"Eh this card is kinda good i guess"
the fact that duels end by turn 2 is ridiculous, this game is honestly trash.
