Expertise
I can answer all questions on ALL card rulings, card effects, and dueling procedures. I can also do deck fixes on several different styles of decks. I will not rate nor fix any casual decks, only decks that are built for competitive or tournament play. I only deal with Advanced format decks, nothing Traditional. I WILL NOT create a deck for you. thats your job and responsibility as a duelist. i have no problem overhauling a deck, but i will never create one for a duelist. I am one of the few experts on this site that specialize in Gladiator Beasts, Black Wings, Monarchs, Anti-Meta, and Lightsworns. I will only deal with cards that are currently in english print. I can also give estimations on card prices. please keep all price lists to a maximum of 15 cards. I hope my suggestions will be of some help to you. Please remember to rate me if my answers helped or were just the stupidest thing you ever heard, but please be honest. Everytime you rate, a Kitty gets its wistle XD
Please DO NOT post any decks in paragraph form. Doing so makes the deck harder to read and harder to get a feel for your card line up. If you send me a deck list like this, it will be refused and you will recieve notification on why.
Experience
My experience in the game comes from many years of dueling. I have roughly 7 years of dueling and card playing experience.
Education/Credentials
I have studied several of the cards rulings and effects. im currently a level 1 judge and i am on my second year of college majoring in computer science
