Yes. My deck is an insect deck. Most people would think it would be horrible. 
It really isn't. I've always wanted to have a cool and creative deck. I 
started out with a beatdown, but it got boring. Here are the cards:

Monsters: 24
1x Flying Kamakiri #1
2x Flying Kamakiri # 2
2x Killer Needle
2x Kumootoko
2x Girochin Kuwagata
2x Man-Eater Bug
2x Jirai Gumo
1x Leghul
1x Kiseitai
1x Hunter Spider
1x 4 Starred Ladybug of Doom
1x Bladefly
1x Drill Bug
1x Parasite Paracide
2x Petit Moth
1x Cocoon of Evolution
1x Great Moth

Magic: 16
2x Fissure
1x Pot of Greed
1x Giant Trunade
2x Insect Barrier
1x Nobleman of Extermination
1x Black Pendant
1x Rising Air Current
1x Monster Reborn
1x Change of Heart
1x Mystical Space Typhoon
1x Dark Hole
1x Insect Imitation
1x Heavy Storm
1x Malevolent Nuzzler

Trap: 8
3x Trap Hole
2x Waboku
1x DNA Surgery
1x Dust Tornado
1x Spellbinding Circle

The Starategy of my deck is to stall enough to get out Great Moth and 
Parasite Paracide. My absolute favorite combo is insect barrier and DNA 
surgury. Then none of their monsters can attack. Then I bring out Leghul ( 
Can Attack Directly), shuffle in Parasite Paracide, and get out Great Moth. 
This deck has done unusally well.

The tourtament was a three round tourtament. There was about 50 contestants 
and a couple prizes were given out.
Round 1 --  My first match was against a little kid with a deck with over 100 
cards. 
He played one Nimble Momonga the whole game and I finished him with my Flying 
Kamakiri #2 and Killer Needle.

Round 2 -- This round I was against an older kid with a ear  piercing. He had 
a 1700 attack beatdown deck. With my opening hand, a drew only one monster 
(Killer Needle) . It was destroyed and I took a little more direct damage. He 
had  a Neo the Magic Swordsman and a Darkfire Soldier #1 on the field, and I 
had no monsters. I had an Insect Barrier and Black Pendant in my hand. If I 
didn't draw anything, that would be it. My next draw was nothing but Heart of 
the Cards. I draw a DNA surgurey. I play it with my Insect Barrier. Then my 
opponents FORFEITS!!!!!!! He had no cards in deck that could destroy magics 
or traps. Yahoo!

Round 3 -- Final Round! Now I'm playing an older kid with a machine deck. He 
starts by playing all these cards face down. I traphole his monster. I then 
use Nobleman of Extermination on a facedown card (Malevolent Nuzzler). I play 
my Girochin Kuwagata and attack him directly. Whew- no traps! He doesn't play 
any monsters and I attack him some more. I get him down to 850. Then he uses 
premature burial and gets back his Oni Tank. Now he's down to 50. He 
sacrifices it to play JINZO!!! He attacks on of my monsters and I take life 
point damage. I set a monster and switch all of mine to defense mode. Next 
turn, he attaches his Jinzo with a Faries Meteor Crush!!!!! He attacks my 
defense monster and I take more life point damage. I can't do anything and I 
lose the match. And I was so close!!! 50 lifepoints!!!!  Oh well. I'll try 
again some other time
