    Ok my decks strategy is to get the Ultimate Dragon out as fast as I can 
which is usually by using the Devil Frankens effect.  Then put a lord of d. 
down and the reason why there is two of them is that I know...that only ONE 
Dark Hole and only ONE...Raigeki can be used against me in a duel with the 
official rules.  Once my dragon is on the loose...well, it's basically over 
for my opponent.  Of course there are people who have strategies to beat my 
dragon but thats why I have three BEWD.

Ok on to the deck building

I'm gonna do this in steps ok?

1. Find out what kind of deck u like - examples: dragon, beatdown, dark type, 
zombie etc.

2. When u find out what your deck will be based on, find cards that relate to 
it.
example: if its a dragon deck, get things like Lord of d. tri-horned dragon 
and BEWD.

3. After u do this, get staple cards or cards that are in a lot of decks like 
dark hole or raigeki or heavy storm.

4. When u finish all of this, put your deck together and test it by dueling 
of course.

5. After u duel a couple of times, think about what cards didn't really help 
at all in most situations.

6. When u figure out the problem, try and fix it.  Repeat the steps until 
your deck becomes perfect in your mind.  Or in other words, only you know how 
to use your deck.

If u have any questions, e-mail at JMhatch2@aol.com.  And yes u can ask me to 
fix your decks.   just kiddin.  u can but that was a joke.  if u do i will 
fix it though.  see ya
