Resource Deck

A Resource Deck is a kind of deck type in HCCG.

The goal of a resource deck is to keep field and hand advantage with monsters that replenish themselves, while still pressuring the opponent by attacking at every opportunity. In short, it aims to be one of the most consistent decks in the game.

Like Cookie Cutter decks, resource decks do not revolve around a particular archetype or similar kind of theme, unlike most other deck types in the game. Instead, they are filled primarily with monsters that can search other copies of themselves from the Deck, typically when they are Summoned or sent to the Graveyard. There are many monsters that function like this in HCCG; however, resource decks tend to only use Level 4 or lower monsters with effects that do not net the player negative card advantage. These decks can easily run 30 monsters without worrying about not being able to have a card to play (or not running out of "resources", hence the origin of the deck type's name), and the only Spell and Trap Cards used are staples that do not rely on specific conditions to activate. Many resource decks also have an easy time Synchro Summoning due to Tuner Monsters like Hullaballoon and Burning Blossom, and as such max out their Extra decks with all splashable Synchro Monsters.

Because there is no official way to build a resource deck, the deck can vary from player to player, and as such it is also one of the most unique deck types and one of the most skillful to build. However, here is a list of some popular cards used in many resource decks:
 * Asclepius's Serpent
 * Orcish Mob
 * Swarming Gecko
 * Jellome
 * Tanooki Decoy
 * Tartaros Pegasus/Tartaros Gryphon
 * Mysterious Citrus the Love Tear
 * 3 Tear the Great Atlas
 * Hullaballoon
 * Oryx of the Wasteland
 * Smashing Monarch
 * Marvealm Ephesos
 * Iolite Wraith/Iolite Wight
 * Rainbow Tail
 * Souls of Oak/Burning Blossom
 * Tyranno King (depending on the number of EARTH monsters used)
 * Discus Dragon (for extra swarm power; this is usually the only Tribute Summoned monster used)
 * LuckySoul Potion Master (for extra Synchro Summoning)
 * Carrion Pidgeon (for mirror matches)
