The lack of Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter and One for One is disturbing.

Jazzy Synchron The lack of Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter and One for One is disturbing. Magical Merchant does the job better than ryko and gives me a free draw. As for one for one, I'll prolly take out 1 Econ for One for One

I have trouble seeing how the logic is behind Magical Merchant is superior to Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter. While you are guaranteeing yourself to send only Monsters to the Graveyard and a Spell or Trap to hand, the variances of it all can be great to small, while Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter remains consistent, and formulates the same advantage Magical Merchant does through its destruction ability. Also, the inclusion opens up new deck options with Charge of the Light Brigade, which forms a faster and more efficient start of the game than Magical Merchant.
Now, I can see this debacle of Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter vs Magical Merchant lead to "I don't want to mill away Spells or Traps I want". Any game takes risks, and you should be willing to give way and play around what you lose for the deck's one win condition.
Or hey, you could do both like the deck played at this past YCS. However, don't simply reject Ryko, which is clearly an excellent choice card for the deck, because you're a bit scared of milling a few Spells or Traps.

Running Trap Stun along with Royal Decree seems redundant. Dropping the Stuns will free up space for One for One and another card. Burial from the Different Dimension, perhaps?

For the record, I completely agree with Jazzy Sieg that Ryko is better the Magical Merchant, having tinkered with both in my Fabled deck not too long ago. Merchant has consistency issues (either it mills a decent amount or not enough) and is a poor opening play in comparison (actually, setting Ryko tends to be the better play irregardless of the turn). Ryko's milling consistency and it's ability to work as "spot removal" far outweigh any advantage Merchant tends to give.
As for the Ryko Engine, Ryko is for the most part a stand alone card. Simply having 3 Ryko and maybe a Charge of the Light Brigade is sufficient 90% of the time.

Fresh Porn Because at the last YCS they had Wightmare? You mean the one in Philadelphia this past weekend? From October 8th to October 10th? Yeah, we had Wightmare. Fresh Porn In anycase running the Ryko Engine not only disrupts my flow by milling essential cards to keep field control or manipulation I need... I've already addressed this.

Play around it. The advantage Ryko gives this deck is undeniable, proven by dozens of decks such as this for success.

The advantage Ryko gives this deck is undeniable, proven by dozens of decks such as this for success. because of the sneak peak i'm assuming since the packs don't come out till the 16th. and I thought sneak peak cards can't be used in legitimate tournaments until the set is officially released, or did they mod that rule. and if they changed that rule. From what I read the person running the deck didn't use wightmare. but the deck list hasn't been leaked yet from what I can see

I know nothing about "serious" Skull Servant decks but I have to ask the question: is Card Trooper, triple Ryko, AND double Merchant really necessary?

Rough draft #1 of the deck. With all that works in the Graveyard though, I'd say yes.
