Beatdown: this deck is practically the most easiest to assemble since its basically just bringing out strong monsters like Summoned Skull and destroying your opponent monsters like Raigeki and Mirror Force. It's biggest weakness is low defense and can be easily defeated by a Shield and Sword. Rating: 8/10 - it's good and kinda fast but it does have it's drawbacks. 2. Exodia: heh the deck that can end it all with just 5 cards. Sure some ppl have exodia and have the cards to summon it like WOTBF and Sangan but the thing is, it has many weaknesses. One is a simple Card Destruction, Robbin' Goblin, and some other cards to make this deck not to summon exodia. Also if this deck is a Defense Exodia deck, your screwed. So I suggest that you make it a beatdown/exodia deck just incase exodia is gone. Rating: 4/10 - just put exodia in your card binder until the next set comes 3. Deck Destruction: this deck is just basically to deck your opponent out with some card removal cards, having great defensive monsters and having a whole lotta cards in your deck. The only weakness to this deck is if you don't have the cards needed to deck him/her out or if your deck is shorter than his/her and don't have any strong monsters to hold them back if your defensive monsters died out already. Rating: 6/10 - it can make your opponent kinda mad when you deck him/her out 4. Direct Damage(Burner): hehe my favorite deck of all, Burner. This deck is one massive deck to be reckoned with when you have the right cards in you hand. Basically using cannon soldier and/or catapult turtle, tremendous fire, and some monsters to be tributed for their effect can be a total burn. It's weakness on the other hand is trying to get cannon soldier and/or catapult turtle on the field and its unknown it you gonna run a defense/turbo burner or a beatdown/turbo burner. Rating: 9/10 - its all about hitting your opponent hard on doing direct damage and having fun 5. Toons: ahhh aren't toons cool. This deck is basically all about bringing out toon monsters like the toon forms of Blue-eyes and Summoned Skull (but need Toon World to summon them) and do either direct damage or attack your opponent's monsters(heh like you wanna attack their monsters). The biggest weakness in this deck is Toon World. Why you say?? It's obvious, toons monsters are destroyed if toon world is destroyed and also normal monsters can attack them(yes its true that toons can be attacked by normal monster). You definitly have to base your deck around this deck but I think you should wait until more toon monsters comes in the next set(believe me, there'll be better toon monsters coming). Rating: 8/10 - this deck is a killer esp. if you do direct damage(too bad you cant transform the originals into toons) So here's how the top decks would rank out: 1. Direct Damage(Burner) Deck 2. Toon Deck 3. BeatDown Deck 4. Deck Destruction Deck 5. Exodia Deck I know 5 different types of deck isn't enough but these are the best ones that are out there and yeah I know there's other decks but these are the absolute best to me. Got any questions or just wanna chat about yugioh, drop a msg.
