http://www.sendspace.com/filegroup/02MGhCNtNkGKz5SRH3KJBMR8CRInKzcRComments:Two very unique decks indeed. Your plant deck is the same one I've seen you using before, and it plays similar to a Gigaplant deck. I have a few suggestions/comments on the deck as is. Tour Bus from the Underworld isn't a stellar card, and especially not for this kind of deck. 2 games you started with it in hand and as you can see, it's not an ideal card to draw. On top of that your deck relies on the cards it has in the graveyard to duel your Debris Dragon, Black Luster Soldier and Spore. If you prefer a fourth fiend Night Assailant also has the bonus of being under 500 attack, usable with Debris Dragon. Secondly, Copy Plant may fit your One-star plant tuner needs, but as a card it definitely doesn't do enough. I feel like your deck lacks something in general to make competitive pushes.
On the Extra Deck, I'm surprised you aren't using a Splendid Rose instead of Queen of Thorns. Not only is it more aggressive, it's Wind-Type and doesn't require a Plant to Synchro for. I would use it in your deck over Orient Dragon, now that Synchros are seeing less play. I would also include a Gaia Knight, Force of the Earth just as a 2600 beatstick, though with Splendid Rose it wouldn't be quite as necessary. You also have a random Gaia Dragon, the Thunder Charger without any rank 6 Xyz's to layer him over. If you wanted to combo with the Snowman Eaters, you could replace him with Gunghir, Dragon of the Ice Barrier.
As for the second deck, I must admit to feeling quite trolled by losing to something with Kuriboh and Multiply in it, but it's an amusing attempt to make Raviel and Darkness Neosphere useful. Considering Neosphere doesn't work with Kuriboh or Raviel tokens I'm not sure how well you'd be able to summon it. It also seems like any of the common trap cards would ruin the deck with only Heavy Storm to combat them. Dark Bribe isn't a good counter when you don't have much else to protect, it's already a +1 to your opponent. It's a decent first draft.
Game 1:Considering you watched me pick up the Solemn Warning, returning your Tour Guide to your hand for Birdman was an error: Not only did Birdman get destroyed, but the Photon Sabre Tiger you had stolen was returned to my side.
You played Debris Dragon without looking at your Graveyard. The only target you had for him was Evil Thorn.
You ended your turn leaving the Debris Dragon in attack mode with 1500 LP when I had a Stardust Dragon out. If you had attacked my T.G. Warwolf with Debris Dragon, it would have been possible for you to survive if I couldn't get over Black Luster Soldier.
Playing Dark Hole when it was quite evident I had a Starlight Road down. Playing into my Starlight Road is something you did repeatedly actually. In the three games we weren't able to finish I used Starlight Road on you four times.
Game 3:Attacking Catastor with Dark Simorgh. Dark Simorgh is Dark and Wind, and got destroyed by Catastor's effect.
Single:Forgetting to add Stardust to the Extra Deck when you're running Starlight Road.
You attempted to attack me directly with a Phantasm Token. Raviel's tokens can't declare attacks.
Though you were able to score maximum points on your games I felt that you made many simple mistakes, especially in the duels that sadly we didn't get to finish out. You have a habit of overextending and going for easy looking card advantage without thinking of the turn after. Continue to practice your game and refine your decks. After review with the other testers we've decided you will be moved up to
Obelisk Blue.
