it is based around tributes but I hate one or two tuners in it so I added some synchros they won't to any harm because they are in the extra deck meaning that I don't get a dead draw.

True, just nice to have a focus.

And you mentioned having 60 cards.
You should only have 40 in your main deck really, in order to speed it up.
Even 41 can prove to be too many.

I thinned it down to 51

I love that game for some inexplicable reason. I don't build my deck around anything, really. Unless you say that my deck is built in a way that it makes a flowing strategy for me, no matter how it is shuffled. I've never lost to any of my friends with it.

so you build you deck around flexible combos meaning they feel to well in most situations.

Still too many really.
45 would be the maximum I'd go to.

Where's the cyberdragon?
Honestly, I think super-overpowered shite with high attack is overrated. My deck has nothing with more than 2400 attack in it. (Unless you count I.F.L.), but then again, my deck is outdated. It does work well though, and was very tournament-standard about 2 years ago. Haven't played much since then though.

Is that a challenge, my friend? Haha.

well I think how many cards should be in a deck is really a personal thing but i do agree less is generally better
I have 12 tribute monsters (1 or 2 tributes)
1 of them is the creator so I can continuously special summon (also decoy dragon for same reason and he is only level 2)and another which is special summoned when a card destroys 1 or more cards on my field.
7 cards that can special summon monsters (excluding the ones already mentioned)
1 card which boosts the attack of all monsters summoned from the graveyard by 300
15 non sacrifice monsters (including decoy dragon)
4 cards which give me basically free sacrifices (two take control of a opponents monster and the other two summons sacrificeable tokens each)
4 cards that let me destroy opponents cards
2 which increase the number of times I can normal summon
5 cards which stop opponents attacks (2 of these are cards that destroy opponents cards)
2 equipment cards that when combined with ultimate tyranno means that my opponents will lose bucket loads of life points
4 tuners
pot of greed and polymerization
8 synchros 1 fusion

the reason they are over rated is because most people who use them only use them because of their attack but I also take effect into consideration when picking my monsters and another reason is because normally they are a hassle to get on the field and not worth the cost but my deck is designed so they cost me close to nothing.

Well yeah, but clever traps and weaker monsters with better effects tend to beat powerhouses. I don't know dude, but my deck is pretty formidable, and the two monsters with the highest attack are Mobuis and Jinzo, both of which are really good, but only have 2400 attack each.

I agree with the fact that low level monsters tend to have effects to get rid of powerhouses same with traps (I have used this every time my friend uses a powerhouse but they only tend to work at taking out one or two powerhouses at a time but what are you going to to against a tyrant dragon, flegrand dragon with 4400 attack and a ultimate tyrano who has the effect that when attacking a defence position monster and destroys inflict the difference in attack and defence to the opponent as well as 3400 attack and when he destroys a monster half of it's attack is inflicted to you in damage as well as a trap card which lets me negate and destroy a cards that would destroy 1 or more of my monsters (this situation is quite common for me to inflict against my opponent). I have many other combinations like this as well as several low level monsters with good effects (my high level monsters also have good effects which don't include attacking).

Dude, try no to text-wall I sometimes find it hard to see what you're saying. But yeah, by and large I agree, but high attack has never really appealed to me. If high attacking power is required, then I tend to use United we stand or Mage power to beef something specific up, so I can destroy. (I also run royal decree as well as Jinzo, just to make sure.)

I use mage power as well very good card and I under stand about not using strong monsters because I normally use swarm decks so I understand how weak monsters can stop and opponent in his tracks. now I just decided to remake something I know works well and combines my love for the strong powerhouse and my love of swarming (just saying in any game I can summon allies I go for allies and over power my opponent by numbers just guess what my favourite starcraft race is )

 

[Emissary Laito]

Is that a challenge, my friend? Haha.

If you want ;-]

well I think how many cards should be in a deck is really a personal thing but i do agree less is generally better

I actually play competitively.
Running more then 40 cards in a competitive environment is asking for trouble really.
You'll struggle with it.

If you only play casually, which you seem to, it's fine, but that doesn't mean you cant maximise your chances of winning.

-vague decklist-

To be honest, this probably wouldn't last long at all against a competitive player.
Maybe just against friends though, depending on how good your friends are.

How long does it take you to get that set-up out may I ask?
It sounds pretty inconsistent to me.

Also, I summon Mist Wurm.
There.
All your hard work gone ;-]

I am working on getting mist wurm
also the set up would take me 1-5 turns to set up depending on what cards I have. I mainly play for fun but I would play competitively when possible I lost most of the matches when I did but they all where using the exact same deck all of them and any that weren't I beat. Also I got my deck down to 41 cards with 1 of those being pot of greed.

 

[smearyllama]

This isn't to be rude or offensive, but...

Do people still play Yu-Gi-Oh?
I remember it being big about six years ago, but that's just me...
I play MTG, though and have the best deck evah!
Note: Smearyllama's opinions are not his own, and should not be considered his.

You should get United we Stand. They're rare, but very good. I like mine. My favorite move with it is to call Scapegoat, and use United on one of them. 4000 attack goat token FTW!

 

[Talshere]

I dislike Yu-gi-oh as a game. Its almost always You run this type of deck or you cant compete. Sometimes its dragon, sometimes its demons, buts its always something.

As such, I much prefer magic the gathering and to a lesser extent Wow TGC. While there are some OP stuff, ever colour can always beat every other colour and they all work in different ways.

 

[SPARTANXIII]

Can I just butt in and say: CARD GAMES ON MOTORCYCLES.

There, you may now spam WTF.

this thread is really to help me fine tune my deck I always make decks which I can make and then improve by trail and error and trading also I played the magic the gathering arcade game and it was really fun. also I rarely go for archetypes I only go for types (like psychic or beast) or strategies.
