Top 10 Monsters after L.O.B. and Metal Raiders
 
    10.  Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon: Easiest fusion to get out, and has pretty decent attack.
    9.  B.E.W.D. :Highest attack of a normal summoned monster.
    8.  B. Skull Dragon: Best fusion monster so far.
    7.  Mask of Darkness: Gets you back a great trap(see great traps below) if you're lucky...
    6.  Magician of Faith: Gets you back a great magic(see magic below) if you're lucky again...
    5.  7 Colored Fish/La Jinn: 1800 ATK, no tributes- pretty decent!
    4. Suijin/Sanga/Kazejin: The Elementals of Gate Guardian(with their effects) rival the power of the Guardian himself.
    3. Man-Eater Bug: Its effect will keep this card around for a long time.
    2. Barrel Dragon: 2 tributes, but the ATK and Man-Eater Bug-like effect do a lot of good...hee hee!
    1. Summoned Skull: 1 tribute, 2500 attack...who needs Dark Magician?
 
Top 10 Magic & Trap Cards
 
        Magic
 
    5.  Change of Heart: Either tribute or attack!
    4.  Dark Hole: Best used when you don't have any monsters(obviously).
    3.  Heavy Storm: Keeps away nasty traps when you're on the attack.
    2.  Raigeki: This card needs no explanation- just eliminate!
    1.  Monster Reborn: Will(or at least should)stay at the top forever.
 
        Traps
 
    5.  Acid Trap Hole: DDS card played best at the beginning of the game.
    4.  Trap hole: One of the most played cards right now.
    3.  7 tools of the bandit: One of the few chain trap cards now.
    2.  Magic Jammer: A great trap for the cost.
    1.  Mirror Force: Arguably the best trap card in the game. Still used everywhere.
