I can answer most questions about card effects and there rulings. I play with a monarch deck, but i have a plant deck, GBs, Absolute Zero, Fortune Ladies, Flamevell Sworn, and my own hand control deck. If you are going to ask for a deck made from scratch, or i make you a deck from scratch, it may take more then 24 hours to do so. If for any reason it does take me more then 24 hours to answer your question i am really sorry. Also, for deck fixes it would be helpful if you put it in list form and not paragraph form because it is hard to read. Only tournament competitive decks please. I do not fix decks that have banned cards, and they will be sent to the question pool. I use the current ban list which is currently March 2010 in the Yugioh TCG, not OCG. I have school now so if i can't get to your question i'm sorry, but if you resubmit it on a weekend i should be able to get it. I'm also at regionals this weekend so i won't be answering any questions. http://www.yugioh-card.com/en/limited/ I compete in tournaments often and usually make it to the top 4. I hope i help with all i do and if i can improve please tell me so and how. NOTE: I don't have much experience in these decks: I will try my best with them though Hopeless Dragon Batteryman Duelist Based Decks from the shows Morphtronic (There are too many morphtronic monsters) Sept. 1st Demise Decks
Experience
I have played yugioh practically my whole life. I go to tournaments a lot. I like building decks just to experiment and trade a lot. I have won tournaments before, and go to regionals.
