Welcome back everyone. Today I will discuss another unusual deck type - 
A Normal Monster Beatdown Deck. First off, Thanks for posting, Lord Tranorix. 
Ok lets take a look at the deck list -

Monsters(17)  Total = 40
2x Summoned Skull
1x jinzo
3x Archfiend Soldier
3x Mad Dog of Darkness
3x Gemini elf
2x Marauding Captain
1x Gigantes
1x Breaker the Magical Warrior
1x Tribe Infecting Virus
Spells(17)
2x Heart of the Underdog
2x Two-Man Cell Battle
2x Nobleman of Crossout
2x Book of Moon
1x Pot of Greed
1x Change of Heart
1x Snatch Steal
1x Heavy Storm
1x Premature Burial
1x Mystical Space Typhoon
1x Forceful Sentry
1x Painful Choice
1x Big Bang Shot
Traps(6)
2x Dust Tornado
1x Torrential Tribute
1x Ring of Destruction
1x Call of the Haunted
1x Magic Drain

Purpose - Notice that more than half the monsters are NORMAL. For people 
who don't know, A normal monster is a monster without any effect. Ex - 
Summoned Skull. The purpose is simple, same as any other beatdown. Put 
high amounts of pressure on your opponent and eventually he/she will fall. 
The deck uses about 5 Earth Monsters, so I decided to stick a Gigantes 
in and see how it works, I like its effect. Heart of the Underdog, Marauding 
captains and the Cell Battles help this deck alot as well because of the 
level 4 normal hitters. The Books of Moon go good with the Crossouts and 
the Big Bang Shot.

Stregnths/Weaknesses - In my opinion, this deck type has a nice advantage 
over control. The monsters are powerful and swarm quickly. They would 
easily overpower the weak Don Zaloogs and Spirit Reapers. Hmm a weakness? 
I would think burner because they have Gravity Bind, Messenger of Peace 
and Level Limit B's that could put this deck to a major halt.

Well that concludes this article, I probably won't be writing another one 
for a while as I am really busy. If you would like me to review a certain 
deck in my next article/ give comments then contact me at Jayizawesome@hotmail.com
