For the third edition i will be bringing you all Shaddolls. Shaddolls is a fusion based deck debuting in Duelist Alliance made up of dark flip monsters. A tier 1 deck is what Shaddoll is with its powerful fusion plays and its just as powerful fusion spells being able to fusion summon on your opponents turn for a winda shutting them down can be devastating also with the fusion spells triggering the shaddolls sent to graveyard effects as well. Shaddolls has many varietals examples are the seraph varient the performage varient lightsworn, Denko dolls just about every deck can find a reason to run these and why is that is it because there good we yes of course there good or else they wouldn't be listed.

So Shaddolls is a otk/stun type deck one side of the coin you bash your opponent skull in with construct and try to win off sheer damage which is usually how it is played today and there is also the stun aspect of Shaddoll that being to out grind your opponent and stun them with winda which isnt a huge tactic used today but winda can always get the job done. Shaddoll's option for plays is sometimes overwhelming depending on the situation will you drop winda or will you drop construct whatever you do just know the fusions have your back.

So here is the point where I talk about Shaddoll's accomplishments well to start off it was the best deck released in Duelist Alliance early on the deck had super polymerization at its disposal which made its match ups even easier since you could just super poly bujin yamato and they couldnt do anything about that. Shaddolls starting off won tons of events tons of top spots it was like Nekroz when it first came out. Later down a build of shaddoll with artifacts took off and was a major success. And with this success came the limiting of everybody's favorite artifact Moraltach. With moraltach at 1 that build quickly died out and people started putting dolls in tons of things. Fast forward through a ton of events Shaddoll's won Euro's in 2015 with a pure build. In today's game the popular build is the Clown Build with the performage's and with the release of norden to us this deck is looking amazing despise is being out for a year now and still good. A way konami can deal with shaddolls if they become a big problem is limit construct limiting construct would make people use the other fusions not just the best one and perhaps el shaddoll to 1 due to the fact that you can use it on your opponents turn to go for winda and lock up your opponent.

Weaknesses of shaddolls would mainly be Shadow imprisoning mirror and perhaps being locked out to vanity emptiness.Another would be Satellarknight Constellar Diamond because it can lock out your shaddoll fusion and can negate your shaddolls. Though the biggest problem with Shaddolls is not getting to your fusion spells fast enough. Your fusion spells run the deck and without them your practically playing a rouge deck. Other than that Shaddolls don't have that many weaknesses its a all around great deck.

In all Shaddolls is a great fusion deck it was the deck that revivied the fusion mechanic in the game and brought life to many other fusion decks with similarity's to there fusion spell. There are many varients of Shaddoll which can add a surprise factor since that wont know what varient your playing right away. The only card you have to watch from your opponent would be a SIM or even perhaps a skill drain.

Fun Trivia: "Shaddoll" is a portmanteau of the words "shadow" and "doll". "El Shaddoll" is a play on "El Shaddai", one of the Judaic names of God.
