Always bet on Bandit Keith
(Credit Yugioh)
So as of late i've been on a Hakari binge from JJK, and it got me thinking that i want to make a Gamblers deck. a PROPER one. But Luck based mechanics are rarely good, so i want your guy's help. So lets brainstorm some possible decks.
There's several ways to go about this. Coin Flips, Dice Rolls, Guessing cards. But at its baseline, im thinking of two important things.
- The deck, despite having a Win or Lose Gamble needs to be able to progress through turns.
- To have to Wager, perhaps Wager Life Points.
With that in my mind, Ive got a few possible paths. Im thinking Burn mixed with Slot Machine Beatstick? Or perhaps blend it in with Bandit Keith support, because Bandit Keith is the only one who used Slot Machine as a Boss Monster (I see Barrel Dragon as an Ace) Coincidentally his monsters are mostly Level 7 Machines
The monster cards.
Gambler Monster: Pendulum Effect: While this card if face up in a pendulum zone. (Quick Effect) Thrice Per Turn Flip a Coin, if you call it Correctly you may Add 1 card that’s effect lets you Roll Dice(s) or Toss Coin(s).

The games to play.
Casino: This is the Important card. Field Spell: Once per turn You may Discard 1 card to add 1 monster from your deck or grave who's effect lets you Toss Coin(s) or Roll Dice(s). Anytime a Coin Flip or Dice Roll Occurs place a Chip Counter on this card.
Monsters that have an effect that Tosses a Coin(s) or Rolls a Dice(s) in their text on your side of the field gain 400 ATK for every 3rd Chip Counter on the field.
If an effect requires a Coin Flip or a Dice Roll (Quick Effect) Thrice Per Turn you may Remove a Chip Counter from the field, Redo the Coin Flip or Dice Roll, use the result for the Effect of that card.

2- Special Summon 1 Machine Monster from your Hand or Graveyard.
1- One card on your side of the field gains 1 Chip Counter.
0- Lose 1500 LP
Blackjack: (originally i was going to do plus 7, but than i realized i wouldn't be able to search this.) Once Per Turn Pay 500 LP than Both Players may reveal Monsters with a total number of Stars plus the result of a Dice Roll, If the revealed Monsters Total does not equal 21 or less they’re total will count as 0. The Player with the higher number of stars may choose one of the revealed monsters, special summon it face up on the field. If you summoned the monster place 1 Chip Counter on it. If it is a draw both players lose 500 LP.
Roulette: Predict either Odd Stars or even stars. Specific level. Card Type. Or else you Fail.
Poker: I cant think of anything for this… I was originally going to add a card for Craps the game but… ive a feeling that wont slide XD though it’s a good Dice game.
Help with Dice themed cards? Perhaps Traps?
This is my best attempt at both a Gamble Support deck and a mixture of Bandit Keith support. His monsters can blend in perfectly with both Luck based decks and the Metalmorph deck. Maybe and I feel like the Spell Cards can be references to the anime. Like Jinzo Roulette, Poker Knights Game Night, the hall of Jackpots. Things like that lol. But any suggestions? I wanna flesh this out instead of being hypothetical.
