Here is a copy of  my TCG tip:

The Progression Of  Duelists
Now, I have been playing the game of Yu-Gi-Oh for many, many years now, and 
I  have realized that there are four types of players: 
1. People who want all rare cards, and crave to  win (Screw you Dale) 
2. People who strive to be completely  original 
3. People who run the “all-mighy” chaos deck to  win. (Screw you –
Necrovalley)
4. People who play what feels right. (ie. Zombies,  warriors, burn, ect) 
People who want all rare cards to win just do not know what this game 
is about. Fun. That what it is about. It’s about building a cool deck, 
and putting up a great fight right to the end against a worthy opponent. 
So I say, you can  have ALL the rare cards you want, but when you get 
them all, what kind of deck  are you going to make? Just think about it. 
People who strive to be original are just missing the point. Just because 
you see someone else running a combo, does not make it “unoriginal” 
for you to run it too. It is human nature to want to win, so when we see 
an awesome combo,  it’s OK to use it. The real point of originality is 
how your deck works as a  whole.  
You can run chaos decks all you want, but personally I think, it’s the  
end of the line for BLS-EOTB. I mean Painful Choice – Gone, and with D.Duo back,  
it ’s real hard to keep him in your hand. However, you can slip BLS into many 
decks, and he will work. (Exodia, Burn, Machine, ect.) You don’t, and should 
really need to base your WHOLE deck around one measly card. So try making a neat  
deck with BLS. Try warriors, or zombies, or something, and see how it works. 
Now, I myself am running a Horus/Sacred Pheonix Deck right now, and it  seems 
pretty good. But I am striving to make myself the “under-rated  Gravekeeper’ s 
Deck”. I just love to see how people cope with common  gravekeeper’s while 
they can’t revive or retrieve any M/T cards. I think of  myself as being a #4 
type because I change my deck whenever something doesn’t  feel right. You should 
try it once in a while. DDWL getting removed before  BLS-EOTB can come out. 
Try thunder-dragons. They are easy chaos-food, and are  morph-able. That’s 
just one example of how you can change around your deck to  see what’s right 
for you. I also really don’t see why people get so upset about  putting commons 
in their decks. It’s not like they will catch fire or something.  Commons are 
becoming progressively better, and even have decks built around  them. So, give 
commons a try. Don’t forget about doing what feels right. And  most of all, have 
fun. 
Happy dueling for now,
