Rock Deck

Bouncing Rock Control Deck
Rock Monsters usually have high defense and an effect to return cards back to the hand, attacking directly, then flipping back facedown. The point is to restrain the opposition using the effects and defense to support field advantage, then attacking for about 1000-2000 damage every turn. This type of Deck is also capable of 2 OTKs, both involving Stone Statue of the Aztecs. One is to use Fairy Box and Canyon. Another is to use Ojama Trio and All-Out Attacks. The All-Out Attacks can be used with any monster depending on the opposing Life Points. Many good cards are in Structure Deck 7: Invincible Fortress. There are also several Traps that destroy Face-up monsters, and many Rock monsters can flip themselves Face-down. Keep in mind the opponent will attack high Defense monsters to keep them from Flip Summoning and activating effects, so punish them with Shifting Shadows/Wandering Mummy and Canyon/Stone Statue of the Aztecs.
