GLC Deck - Wall Shield Wall Shield

[Current] Damage Reduction Maximum: -530

A while back I wanted to see the most extreme extent of Metal damage reduction, and made an outline of this deck. I later got bored, and put it together somewhat more properly. Guard Claw Aggron wasn't available at the time-- it's quite a bit better than this intentionally foolish idea, but still not great into the current meta. At least Aggron may survive a Hex Maniac though.

To be clear, this is a bad idea and a bad deck. I wanted to achieve the theoretical limit for damage reduction on a single turn. If you're going to play it, ask your opponent to be kind and play some sort of joke deck themselves. Let me know if I missed anything! At this point, the exact chain of necessary events is so convoluted that I'd recommend going to the decklist thread on CBW if you wish to understand how this works. Iron Defender alone needs 11 heads in a row, and that's the easy part.

Special thanks to Dragon_Hunter500 for showing me that Iron Wings Corviknight was better than Zamazenta, and k4kirin for showing me the ideal Iron Defender recycle loop concept. Both massively improved the Damage Reduction metric, the only purpose of this terrible idea and deck.
