Hi everyone I've been using this website for a few years now hmm... I had another account before but I forgot my password. :S I first started playing YGO around the time the Red-Eyes and the Vampire structure decks first came out in Japan. Don't know when that was though. Anyway, after I read Akiza's story of how she made her first deck, I've become inspired to tell a story of my own - a real story of course.

I used to look down on YGO and other children's card games, thinking they were immature and a waste of money. One day I was going to school with some friends, as usual. What was unusual about that day, however, was that we ran into this totally random guy on the street who came up to us and started talking to us. We were like wtf, who is this guy. He didn't even introduce himself, he just told us that he'd been waiting in that spot on the side of the road for a long time for someone to show up (I remember it was early in the morning, like 6am -ish) and that we were the first people he saw. He said that yugioh cards were distracting him from his family, friends, and work, and that he was really sad but he had to get rid of his cards. But he didn't want to just throw them away or sell them. So he decided to give them to the first person he saw. Which was me. So, I inherited this random guy's deck, and I played a few guys from my school. It was a dark magician deck, and all the cards were shiny (rare). I was a total noob back then but I think the deck I got was pretty strong. Yeah. Anyway, one day when I give up yugioh I'm going to do that too. Just give my deck to the first random person I meet on the street. It kind of feels like destiny? Lol.

So that's the story of how I started playing yugioh.

I really dislike players that just get into the game and decide to rip off a powerful deck made by somebody else. There's no creativity in it at all. Players who have played for a while and tried out different dueling styles, that choose to netdeck or use a popular deck, eg. Blackwings, are ok though. Because at least they like it and are not just trying to win without having fun.

I like monsters that are strong by themselves, and I look down on monsters that are weak individually, even if they can be a force to be reckoned with in larger numbers, eg. Frogs. Monsters that are strong on their own AND work well together are the best, though. This is why I main a beatdown deck. However, since the advent of synchro monsters, I'm also running a psychic deck, which I now use most of the time. Only when someone consistently beats me easily do I feel the need to switch to my beatdown deck. To clarify, I don't look down on decks consisting of weak monsters, just the monsters themselves. For example, I acknowledge that a frognarchs deck is strong, but the frog cards themselves are just puny. Come on. And why do I hate on frogs? My ex-flatmate played a frogs deck before it was such a huge thing. And he always beats me. Argh...annoying...hmph.

A consistent theme with every single deck I've ever built is that I always include a single monster card that is ridiculously overpowered, but is also usually impossibly difficult to summon. I just love summoning one of these bosses to the field, along with some spell/trap support it becomes unstoppable!

Anyway, here are lists of my current decks. Any constructive criticism would be appreciated, thank you very much.

I am purposely not using synchro monsters in this deck, because I don't like them. Sure, I think they're cool, but they kinda ruined the game for me. I only use synchro monsters in my other deck out of necessity, and also since they play such a huge part in today's metagame. So that makes Mist Valley Soldier kind of redundant, I suppose. I don't know what I could use in its place, though. You may have noticed that I favour stats over effects in this deck. Most of my spell/traps are just staples.

I don't know how to use mind master to his full potential...I just added it because it was limited so obviously it was somehow a threat, but most of the time I just play him because he's a level 1 tuner. I am trying to go for a pure psychics deck, but I decided that Prime Material Dragon was just too good to not include in this deck.

Decent Cards

I was compiling a list of useless cards ever created, but I decided it would be easier to list the good cards instead, as these are much fewer in number. These include Staple and Semi-Staple cards, as well as cards that are just too good not to include in a certain deck. Out of cards that share a similar effect, only the best one in my opinion will be posted. Some archetypes may be listed as a whole. In addition, forbidden cards will not be listed here.

Normal Monsters

Gene-Warped Warwolf UNLIMITED

• Yes, there are better options for a Beatdown Deck, but with 2000ATK this card can trump most level 4 monsters the opponent may use.

Effect Monsters

Beast King Barbaros UNLIMITED

• A must have for any self respecting Beatdown Deck user, this card can be summoned as a 1900 beatstick with no cost, or use 3 tributes to summon as 3000ATK and wipe the opponent's field! A very nasty surprise indeed. However do not tribute summon it with 2 tributes, as that would be a waste of cards. Combined with Skill Drain, this card is deadly.

Ritual Monsters

Fusion Monsters

Synchro Monsters

Spells

Monster Reborn LIMITED

• This is a game winning card for sure. Revive a monster from EITHER graveyard and summoned in ANY position, with no cost whatsoever! It's no wonder this card's been forbidden so many times.

Lightning Vortex LIMITED

• This card is a weakened version of the infamous Raigeki, and it lets you discard one card. That's either a minor cost or a great help, and it destroys all the opponent's threatening monsters for that one turn you use it. Face down monsters can't harm you until their flipped face up of course.

Mystical Space Typhoon SEMI-LIMITED

• One of the most popular cards ever created, it lets you destroy a spell OR trap card during ANY turn. It's extremely useful, however do remember that it does not negate the effect of the spell or trap it destroys.

Traps

Mirror Force LIMITED

• There's a good reason why this card is restricted to only 1 copy in a deck. It can negate one attack and destroy all of the opponent's attacking monsters at the same time. This card will save you in a pinch and has the potential to swing the game in your favour.

Solemn Judgment LIMITED

• Sure, you have to give up half your life points. Its a great cost in the beginning of a duel, so don't use it early unless its a desperate situation. However in the mid to late game half your lifepoints doesn't seem so great a cost, when you can negate just about anything, well, except for an attack, and potentially turn the game around.

Magic Cylinder SEMI-LIMITED

• This card can negate the opponent's attack AND make them take the damage instead. Its the damaging counterpart of Draining Shield and damaging the opponent is better than healing yourself. Some say that Dimension Wall does pretty much the same thing, but it doesn't negate the attack even if the damage is nullified, so it can't stop the effect of monsters like Spirit Reaper, and it doesn't have the prestige that comes with owning a Magic Cylinder.

Dark Bribe UNLIMITED

• Konami really needs to restrict this overpowered card soon, although I hope they never do. It is the first counter trap that negates a spell/trap effect and does NOT have a cost. Instead, the opponent draws a card. Not such a big deal really, especially if you just negated their Solemn Judgment.

Divine Wrath UNLIMITED

• What with monster effects playing such a huge role in today's meta, this card is an invaluable Staple that can save you from a tricky situation.
