Subject: Kamikaze Burning strike-Flipm3thod people, i just want to start off and say that i agree with some ppl who been saying that many many people out there are thoughtlessly putting out beatdown decks. I was one of these people..i just put together two summoned skulls with 2 of many different 1800 attackers, along with 2 hyabusa knights. I had no real strategy and my first tourney duel proved that to me..he creamed me so bad. now i have an idea which may not be legal, but i just want to get it out to see if it is any good.... involves: -1800 attacker beatdown cards -protective magic cards (trap holes, jammerz, tools) -mon removal magic (tribute to the doomed, raigeki) -3x scapegoats -2x cannon soldiers -2x amazon archers amazon archers and cannon soldiers are so cool, i run gaia power and mystic plasma zone, which i know is a bad idea.. but it helps. I play normal beatdown untill i get either amazon, soldier and scapgoat. then comes my strategy. I clear my opponents field, and play either amazon or soldier..use the effect to clear my field of all but the effect mon. I protect it for one turn, and then play 1 or 2 scapegoats (one at a time). I sac 4 tokens to do 2000 or 2400, and then do it again to do additional damage which may add up to 4800 in simple direct damage. U can also attack with the mons after clearing opponents field to do an additional 3600 or 4000 from the two 1800 attackers and the 1400 attacker. I am going to try to run ultimate offering to see if it helps. Clear the field second turn, put out as many attackers as possible, then attack, sac em for direct damage from the effect of amazon or soldier. Next turn if possible, play scaegoat... this strategy (if its legal im not sure) has greatly improved among my beatdown deck. This strategy works great, its like a burning/beatdown deck that works well. Send any hate mail or suggestions to me at : dg_unit502@hotmail.com
