How to build a good deck .

Hi
Today i'll try to explain ( of my knowleg & my options ) how to make a good deck .

1- Have spefic strategy to work on .
2- Ask friends to help you if it needed .
3- You can find deck ideas in Wikia >> [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
4- Don't just copy/paste a deck even if you request deck from someone don't copy/paste it!!

in that way you will be just a noob ;/ .
5- Try to get new ideas of cards .
6- Use staples mostly and that can be helpful to your deck

Staples & Rates

7/10

Well this guy is too annoying and you can have him as level 3 tuner monsters and synchro

summon and etc.

you can Special Summon this card from your hand. Once per turn, you can halve the ATK and

DEF of 1 face-up monster your opponent controls.
