One final Ban list tip-Alex Goodman ah, yes, my last ban list tip until the new one comes out in a while. In this article, I will explain on how to make and use the most effective post-ban deck, the warrior deck. Yeah, you expected me to say a Burn/stall deck, but that deck is disgustingly overrated and over-played. And yyes, I stick to my point that this deck-type will be the top post-ban deck. **Constructing the Warrior deck** The main focus of this article is to explain on how to make a quality warrior deck. Trust me, getting these cards is worth trading your banned cards that will always be banned (CED, Yata, Raigeki) *I. The objective of the deck* The objective of a warrior deck is simple. To swarm the field (via marauding capatin, freed the matchlees general, and cyber jar) with tons of different warriors with different effects to gain an overwhelming advantage in any situation. *II Strengths and Weaknesses* The main strengths of this deck is that the swarming of a variety of different monsters allows the player an easy advantage in any given situation, prior to having the nneeded monsters first. It is also very easy to kill your opponent quickly with this deck. Many of these warriors also have defensive abilities to allow them to be more durable as well. The weaknesses of this deck is mainly in its strengths. One is that the warrior are only durable because they need this in order tomake up for their overall low attack strengths. It is very hard, although easier, to find room for equips in this deck. Also, this card not only topdecks poorly loads of times, it also depletes your hand quickly. This deck will require excellent hand-management skills. Only swarm when the time is right. *III. Construction* Before I go on with my warrior deck, I will like to point out that the warriors have an endless arsenal of monstera, and it may be hard to choose which ones our the best. My deck has chosen the most important ones, And I'll explain why the cards are important. Here is a highly competitive 40 card Warrior deck.

Marauding Captain/Cyber Jar:Swarmers that allow you to use your monsters more effectively. These are this deck's monster staples. Command Knight/Equips:Gives the warriors their needed strength in order to survive longer and to be used more effectively. DDWL/Exiled Force:Monster Removal Don Zaloog: A nice control monster that can reduce your opponents options. Goblin Attack Force/Blade Knight: Beatsticks/good topdeckers. Breaker/Heavy Storm/Jinzo/MST: Removes magic and traps that could delay the attacks of your warriors. Mystic Swordsman: A special beatstick that can remove your opponent's face down threats. LV2 or X-out are good substitutes. Mataza The Zapper: This card can easily reduce your opponents life points to half. And control can't switch! Definately superior to Hayasuba Knight. Also a good substitute for missing warriors like Don. Black Luster Soldier-Envoy of the Beginning: The strongest monster in the game now and also certainly the star of this deck, thanks to so much support. Freed/Reinforcement of the army: Deck thinners and searchers. They are always good to have in tight situations. Painful Choice is a good substitute. Warrior Returning Alive/PB/CotH: Reborn your warriors and the fun starts all over again. Scapegoat/Waboku: Very important. Because warriors are weak, this can bide some time to get your warriors out or protect you. Everything else is there because they are good to have anyway. I hoped this helped you learn about deck building and what it takes for decks to be as effective as this one. Peace. Alex Goodman, Alxgoody@aol.com
