Expertise

I'm a expert on Dragons. I have good knowledge in quite a few decks but blackwings, lightsworn, DAD, Aliens, and Morphotronic decks, I'm not up to date with those yets. I can answer about rulings, effects or card speeds, and I love building decks so if you got a dragon deck that needs to be build, I'm right here. I still working out testing some decks like Armed Dragons, plants, dark magicians as well as a few others so I can get more info.

Experience

I've been dueling for 8 years and I duel with friends everyday. I've entered a mini tournament with 12 people and I came 3rd.

Education/Credentials
I graduated from high school in June 2009, I'm currently not in college yet.

Awards and Honors
My friends call me Kaiba because my deck and attitude is similar to him.
