Rant on beatdowns It's getting sickening. No, wait. It's beyond sickening. I go to tournaments and EVRYONE has the exact same deck!!! Geminis, dons, GAFs, spears, etc. basic beatdown. I hear crap about these completely unimaginative decks from their completely unimaginaive owners saying, "The reason averyone uses beatdown is that it works!" Well, you're all little pansies! Furthermore are the ridiculously rich decks. I've seen decks that go for well over $1,000. one kid i played was running THREE royal decrees(felt good to kick his @$$). Guess what deck he was running? you got it-beatdown. beatdowns are for people who are too stupid or lazy to make a deck based on anything besides brute force. yeah, they work well. but yugioh is about being creative, and if you show me a creative beatdown deck ill give my entire collection. Because there arent any! There are some cards, some staples, such as pot of greed, raigeki, mirror force, jinzo, etc that will appear in almost every deck. thats fine, thats what staples are for. but build up around that! dont just turn your deck into a clone of the beatdowns you see. take the staples and be imaginative with it. I've built a number of cool decks, including archfiend, water, and my newest, best and favorite, a chaos deck. im typing this in big capital letters so you beatdown-wussies out there get my point-IF YOU CANT COME UP WITH SOMETHING ON YOUR OWN, GET OUT OF THE GAME!! THERE IS NO ROOM IN YUGIOH FOR PEOPLE WHO CANT THINK FOR THEMSELVES!! This concludes my way of saying beatdowns suk. My email adress is seanslcars@comcast.net, if you want to talk. i love talking to others who see things my way. o yeah, if YOU are a beatdown pansie, send me hatemail-I lve reading that stuff, especially because youre comments are pretty much meaningless to me because you have NO CREATIVITY AND YOUR HATEMAIL WAS PROBABLY A COPY OF AN EXAMPLE YOU FOUND SOMEWHERE BECAUSE YOU WERE TOO LAZY TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX.
