First is Crystal Beasts. It's not a good archetype, and I keep it pure CB except for one tuner and Hamon, so it's not even as good as the archetype can get, but it's enjoyable and has a decent chance against non-meta decks or in multiman because people tend to ignore me until I get Crystal Abundance and suddenly wipe the field and kill someone.
Next is Fluffals. It fares better competitively than CB, and it's really fun to pull out Tiger and nuke the enemy field then overlay into a rank 6, but it's really hard to streamline properly so you have everything you need consistently. Plus it's really resource heavy and hard to properly cycle so you can easily be top-decking if your opponent has a field wipe. Not to mention I think Tiger is still OCG so it'll have to remain online indefinitely because the deck is kind of crap without that field-wipe.
Finally, my newest interest is Photon-Galaxy. It has decent competitive abilities, and I like being able to almost constantly pull out a powerhouse fairly easily. Only problem is since it's so XYZ heavy it's expensive and I'm broke, so it's another deck doomed to stay online indefinitely.
Ghostricks is fun as a support deck with teams, but as a solo thing (I don't think the deck I borrowed had any powerhouse monsters, it was just a troll-style deck) forcing deck-outs always makes a really boring and kind of cheap game.
I haven't seen much of the first two but Photon-Galaxy is really fun. It isn't the most consistent of decks but wow does it make some awesome monsters. I agree with the playing IRL issue though. I was lucky enough to pull a Prime Photon Dragon from a booster pack and that's all I have.
I agree with the boringness of decking out your opponent. I usually don't go the deck out route unless I'm up against a deck that discards a lot of cards already. Stuff like Nekroz, BA, Shaddolls, Lightsworns.
I have 3 decks I really enjoy playing.
