skyphantom's Crystal Beast

Hey Greater Ace,

When I saw dragon queen of tragic endings in ABPF, I dug through my old FOTB packs for this format.
It sort of revolves around ancient city rainbow ruins and diamond dude to get over the fact that your sp/trap zone will be clogged.

A new Trend.

A lot of people have turned to Crystal Beast after the new release of Dragon Queen of Tragic Endings. She's a really powerful card who many people think has rejuvinated the Crystal Beast archetype. I personally want to break her elsewhere but hey it works fine in this too.

Diamond Dudes Suck.

Diamond Dude is really terrible in here. It sounds like a good idea but in reality, your Zones won't be that cluttered and there's no point stuffing in Diamond Dude. He's really terrible and you might sack into some extra draws but otherwise there is really no point playing him in this and he's actually probably the reason why this deck hasn't been testing well.

-3 Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude
-1 Elemental Hero Stratos

Let's Stuff in the Rescue Cat Engine

Rescue Cat is incredible. Everybody played her at 3 when they good in CB. Then they played her at 2. And now they will play her at 1. The ability to instantly tutor 2 Amethyst Cat, or to make some kind of Synchro monster is incredible. To replace the old stuff, let's add in the CB stuff.

+3 X-Saber Airbellum
+1 Rescue Cat
+1 Summoner Monk (tutors Cat and also Sapphire Pegasus, wins games.)

 A Different CB lineup would be better.

3x Crystal Beast - Sapphire Pegasus
2x Crystal Beast - Topaz Tiger
2x Crystal Beast - Amythyst Cat
2x Crystal Beast - Ruby Carbuncle
1x Crystal Beast - Amber Mammoth

3x Bad End Queen Dragon

I'm iffy on Tragoedia because of his major Glad problems.

Final Monster lineup.

3x Bad End Queen Dragon
3x X-Saber Airbellum
3x Crystal Beast - Sapphire Pegasus
2x Crystal Beast - Topaz Tiger
2x Crystal Beast - Amythyst Cat
2x Crystal Beast - Ruby Carbuncle
1x Crystal Beast - Amber Mammoth
1x Morphing Jar
1x Rescue Cat
1x Sangan
1x Summoner Monk

Backrow.

I'ma be upfront here. I don't know very much about the Crystal Beast support and Spells. I know that Ancient City is a beast card and that's about it. I also know the silly rulings and stuff because I played back in the brief hype they had. That's about all I don't know very much at all about the new supports and stuff, so I'm going to build a backrow based on what I used to see. There's a lot of filler in here I want to eliminate as well. I took this mostly from a friend of mine who knows a bit about CB.
