Subject: stuarts_deck_opinions_(this_is_not_a_bash) hello all you guys have probably seen me with a new deck every week on pojo's "killer deck reports" *takes a bow* thank you thank you, OK enough bragging XD well um i am here to give MO (my opinion) on some decks from a rank from 1 to 10 these decks will be scored on these levels most popular, most techie, and most stylish thank you for your time and enjoy ~stuart~ :-D beat downs-perosnally i have seen a lot of beat downs in the current metagame unfolding people use the usually (3 GAFS,3 Gemini elf's (which i was peeved about the change on the art ><) 3 kycoos and 3 bazoo you may see a la jinn or a harpies brother here and there and maybe even a Maha Vailo) but any ways personally i don't like these decks i have had one or too in the past and well they are all pretty much the same they are like the dragon decks back in the day (which will be WAY more playable once LOD comes out i.e. dragon rage thanx for EDO and warotortle for the lists and reviews on those cards) but pretty much beat down decks are strait forward plus i have seen different varieties since LON came out like earth spirit beat down and spirit of flames and such things like that but no to nark although they are the current best decks in the current meta game i give beat downs a 6.5 why? to strait forward and no real combos unless it is an element beat down (i.e. earth spirit and spirit of the flames) if its an elemental beat down i would give it about a 8.5 clown control-perosnally i love this style of deck as soon i saw dream clown i wanted to make a dream clown deck but unfortunately that was WAY back in the day of mrd, so there was nothing really good out and the biggest majority of people played with sanga, and dragon decks and a shadow ghoul deck here or there but now since someguy has made one they have been popping up every where and well honestly i have not seen one CC deck (besides mine and my friends) that are different then someguy MAKE YOUR OWN DECKS so i like this kinda deck very techie not very spendy and well all around great deck...not perfect (do to all the supporters you need for this deck to keep your g.bind and MoP stable no to mention the weak little uns)so i give this style a 7.5 with alittle more style and grace it could be better for now it is a semi playable deck burner-i like these but now every one has them :-( stupid scape goat+cannon soldier combo I FOUND THAT OUT AT THE TOURNEY B4 ANY ONE ELSE DID AND SAME WITH THE JINZO 7+3 AXES OF DESPAIR+SCAPE GOAT+UNITED WE STAND=DEATH!plus alot of people use nimble momonga in burners which really i don't get plus i don't see why people don't use fire princess in there either its a good card with solemn wishes (even good combo for an Exodia deck) but i give burners about a 4.0-7.5 depends on the variation the style and the uniqueness' Exodia-I haven't seen one in a while thats why my next deck is going to be one same goes for this as burners and beat downs pretty strait forward, cannon soldiers, mystic tomato, Sangan, MoP and other staple cards (almost similar to a clown control with some of the staple cards) but i like these decks and what really makes me angry is because every one says they suck but once they have it they praise and worship Exodia IMO Exodia is good but to a point to many counters and such for Exodia decks so i give Exodia decks 5.5 not very original but can be in many ways toons- all i have to say is....you have to research alot of cards like vengeful bog spirit, kesaite (how ever you spell it the Atk face down you gain half of there Atk points at their stand by phase) and alot of other cards the only toons i ever really use is Toon mermaid and Toon summoned skull but yeah I don't know what to really give this style of deck its to versatile for me so for now I will give it an even 5.0 because they can be very original or just something that you leave in the bathroom b4 you go to bed....SOAP! XD sorry any wayz on to the next deck dragons-ah an old friend to all of us it this will be strait forward in the current meta game they are good against beat downs (to a point) but against other decks they are pretty much crap (depends on the supporters) so for dragons right now i will give them a 3.0 but when LOD comes out my ranking will be a 6.5-8.7 some where in that area maybe even 10 but doubt it dark necrofear-right now not even worth ranking (no offense to people who have them) they will be much more playable in further sets i mean there is the grace full charity combo or the kuribo combo but thats about it so for right now i give DNF decks a 1.5-2.0 in future sets (maybe LOD) boost it up to a 7.5 but only time may tell hand disruption-always fun hayabusa knights, white theif(e. white magical hat) robbin goblin stuff like that delinquent duo always fun to play will be funner when worm dark comes out (1400/?? when this monster atks your opponents LP directly you may discard up to 5 cards off the top of their deck) that may not be the PERFECT way to say the effect but that is the jist of it (thanx again to edos) but right now they aren't that popular can be very techie but right now abut a 3.5, once worm dark is released 5.3-6.7 no graveyard-as you all no i previously demonstrated the power of no grave yard decks (i put in banisher of light though i forgot to do that XD) but right now these can screw up and beat down deck (especially ones that rely on bazoo) so in the current metagame situation i give them about a 6.0 if use right of course ritual-2 words TOTALLY OVER PLAYED...OK thats three but still XD they are since the SDP came out they have been every where....well at least here any wayz but yeah plus now with masked beast :-\ and the TER (thats given out at toys r us or some WoTC stores) its been easy to get there little grubby hands on they use to be good but now to predictable so i give rituals a 5.0 right in the middle could be good deck or could screw you up have fun with this one fusion's- here is a dill of a pickle...alot of supporters out for fusion monsters not (tornado bird, supply, miracle dig) things like that but by the time you get those in there its hard to tell what fusion's you should put in (i.e. the only playable ones right now are TER, BSD,st.joan..possibly, and skull knight...possibly) i usually go with BSD 1 fusion gate and 2 polys (just to be safe and not over load on fusion gates which IMO is dumb) so right now fusion decks are iffy you could try playing them but they wont help much they get an even score too a 5.0 harpy-no good cards out right now not even harpies pet dragon will work so i give this deck a 3.7 wait till all the harpy cards come out (harpy SB mostly) def. decks- these are always fun but like beat downs and rituals and alot of other deck too predictable so i give them a 3.5 not quite good but not quite bad depends on the duelist they can be very techie or very strait forward shadow ghoul!-use to be good now total crap (unless you combo it with deal of phantom plus the monsters that are already dead) but pretty much this deck isn't popular any more so i give it a 2.5 can be good but usually isn't all elemental decks (dark, light, earth, water, ect)- not very good at this point (unless they are the elemental beat downs i mentioned earlier) so for light 3.0 (next set light will be better) dark 5.7 earth 5.6 (8.5 if beat down), fire (same as earth) water 3.8 IMO 9.8 once lost city of Atlantis come out (look for my water deck too once LOD comes out) wind 3.0 well thats all any questions or comments IM me at oogieboogie10o31 if you feel the need to e-mail me (to whine or agree or what ever) e-mail me at oogieboogie10o31@aol.com thank you for listening to me jaw on and on good bye ~stuart~ well thats all the decks my little head can come up with
