Subject: The Game is Changing- Robert

A few months ago the basic beat down deck was 20 monsters, 15 magics, and 5 traps. No one ran less monsters than 2ne ran more magics than 15. Traps varried. I remember translating japanese decks back in the day of metal raiders. "16 monsters!?" I said, shocked. "15 monsters!?" "10 MONSTERS!!!?" But, as i read on, i usderstood the destructive power of the deck. I cant post the deck because of the rules on Pojo (see, im following the rules this time, lol^_^ ). Okay, currently i run a 16 monster card deck, 19 magics, and 5 traps. I won TONS of tournerments, and all because i use the golden rule of beatown:

KILL YOUR OPPONENT BEFORE THEY KILL YOU.

who cares if you have no monsters? trust me, you wonty be touched. Theres now magic cyelender, bell of destruction, mirror force, imperial order, need i say more? Plus, you will NEVER draw a card that wont "save" you. Believe in the heart of your cards, because your gunna draw what you need when you need it. 3 fissures, Rigeki, snatch/steal, premature berial, all these good cards wont fit if you have 20 monsters! Think about it, is la-jin restricted? No, so take him out. Hes just gunna die to a Gemini Elf or Vorse Raider. Same thing with Goblin Assault force. Replace the force with the fissures you took out for those restricted cards. And hane hane and peguin soldier suck, just to warn you^^;;;

4 more magics, 4 less monsters. Just take out 3 hane hanes and a La-jin. replace the hane hane with fissure, or SOMETHING, hell, why not make room for those 3 terrential tributes.

hell, you lay down and monster it dies. yet a magic card does WAY more than a monster, and both go to the graveyard "dirctly" after thier played.

is it not true?

Anyway, if you do play 16 monsters, you want all of them to be effect monsters with high atack. im talking 1200 or 1300. hell, the feilds gunna be open, it alway is, why not do an "effect" when you attack? discard their hand, stop them from drawing, deplete thier graveyard, all are good. You'd better run 3 giant trunades, though, mirror force is EVIL. And with no hand, they cant kill your "weenie" monsters, and youve won! Its called "japanese beatz" cuz everyones doing it in japan. The "new age beatz" doesnt stand a chance. yeah, 20 monsters, and none of the magics they need to beat you! and with all the good efect monsters and miagics coming in the new sets, why not give it a shot?

Trust me, 16 effect monsters (three or four of them over 1800 atack, tohugh) can beat any deck. And trust me, with good retreval, you will get what you want when you need it.
