Six samurai awesomness! -mike Howard

Ok i was getting mad at one of my local tournaments because i kept seeing the same monster. neo-spacian grand mole in zombie decks? no why is that going on? i understand it in the OTK cyber end decks because he is a machine but in a zombie deck? another thing that bothers me is seeing all these deck ideas that have cyber dragons in it. now.. doesn't a zombie have enough support already without needing tribute fodder like cyber dragon? i'm fine with the little cards like lightning vortex and everything else like that being in someone elses deck because they are easy to get those cards but seeing things like mirror force and ring of destruction just cross that line. now enough of my ranting and on with the deck. some weird odds and ends i have learned about this deck but i gaurantee that all the cards in this deck work with each other and they are all warriors.

ok one weird thing about this deck is it runs no grandmasters.. mainly because they are secret rares and people that got the sneak preview version don't wanna trade them but this deck still works pretty good. another thing i've noticed is i never have gotten a bad hand, i know ita possible but it just doesn't happen that often. well without the grandmaster i've realized they needed a lot more protection witch is why there are wobokus and sakuretsus. (plus the waboku's save me against the cyber dragon OTK and Demise OTK) so your first turn with the deck tends to be the toughest. now on to the deck tactics itself. i have realized how funny it is to kill something with blast with chain. say your opponent gets out demise well equip the blast with chain to a face up monster on your field when its summoned so if your opponent uses his effect something of his is gonna go.
=D second funny thing is if their is a kamon on your field but a huge atack monster on theirs just blow up the blast with chain with kamon's effect,assuming you have another samurai on the field, and bam monster is gone. now the mirror force problem.. just get yaichi to blow it up with his effect before you attack. xD ring of destruction? heh toast against a six samurai deck. "target my yariza? heh i'll destroy my irou in his place and take no damage because the target monster wasn't destroyed" another thing i've learn A. Forces+ swarming ability of the six samurai=beast attack ups!
got an opponent that uses 1900 attack monsters? use obnoxious or command night to defend. xD gravity bind? hehehe my yaichi and yariza go under that plus my yariza attacks directyly. xD scared of face downs? hello irou! bye bye pesky face downs. (effects that activate in the graveyard still work btw except if they say destroyed as a result of battle. irou=effect not battle) pesky elemental hero field cards kamon will handle them. need a monster taken out? hey zanji attack it! bam! gone, i still take the damage but your taking more from my other monsters. xD reinforcements of the army make it so much easier to search.but your only real fear is lightning vortex or a torrential tribute(limited to 1 each anyway so no worry). the only part you have to make sure is that you can only use heir effects if you have another of a different name on the field.
