How do you make an anti-crystal beast deck?

Answer 1

I use a crystal beast deck and its awesome but my friend josh just made this badass D.D. (different dimension) deck and it usually wins against my crystal beasts. The thing that makes crystal beasts effective is is the effect they all share which is when destroyed, they can be put in the spell and traps area so he uses dimension fissure and macro cosmos. Dimension fissure removes your monsters from play when they are destroyed so if your opponent uses crystal beasts he/she cannot put them in spells and traps. Marco cosmos removes all used/destroyed spells and traps from play. When playing against a crystal beast user, these cards are espicially effective and can keep your opponent from summoning rainbow/rainbow dark dragon (I dont use it but most do) or using the magic card crystal abundance ( user must have 4 crystal beasts in spell and trap card zone to activate and by sending these to the graveyard every card on the field is destroyed but the user then gets to summon as many crystal beast from the graveyard as the number of cards destroyed on your side of the field) or the trap card crystal raigeki which lets you send one crystal beast card (as spell card) to destroy one card on the field)

I agree with most of this answer, however using Dimensional Fissure as a counter to the crystal beasts is not as effective as you seem to think. Dimensional Fissure states that "Any monster sent to the Graveyard is removed from play instead." Whereas the Crystal Beasts all state in their effects that "If this card is destroyed while in a monster card zone you can place it face up in your Spell and Trap Card Zone as a continuous Spell Card instead of sending it to the Graveyard." Therefore the Crystal Beasts can be chosen to never be sent to the graveyard by their effect and so cannot be removed from play by Dimensional Fissure. However Dimensional Fissure, Macro Cosmos, Banisher of the Light and Banisher of the Radiance are still effective at countering the summon of Rainbow Dragon.
