It isn't a matter of plain monster theme.

MOST decks don't work well when they revolve around monsters or a specific card.
Monster destruction is easy, and so you need a theme that works well with Spell destruction, Trap d, and monster Combonations.
Spells naturally have to lend support to the monsters to make more combonations through more spells, and possibly traps.

In shortend terms:
Neither is strong alone, harness one, and use that to control the other with THEME and strategy. 3nodding


Look, there is a huge difference between power and wisom. Some duelist I've seen rely on strong monsters to win a duel, while other duelist rely on only strategies that use weak cards instead of strong monsters. The thing about people now-a-days is that they don't understand the difference between power and wisdom and think they can't exist without the other, but I know duelist who only use one instead of the other and they still win that way. I, for one, use wisdom instead of power. I use my most weakest monsters and turn them into one of the most powerful cards ever. I play against duelist who use power instead of wisdom, and they have beaten me before. So, power can exist without wisdom and vice-versa. The only thing I've seen on this topic is you guys criticizing the whole topic. I've looked at some of the decks on the deck topic and I've noticed that a lot of people use power instead of wisdom.

Even a powerful monster can be defeated by another powerful monster or a spell so with great spell cards you can protect your monsters, yourself and devestate your opponent.

Thats exactally right. You need to base your deck on an Idea, not a card 3nodding

that is not entirely true to the fact that a deck is a deck no matter how you look at it...but a good deck is a good deck, compared to one not so good.

Realize that you can put 40-cards together that revolves around one card...and that is a deck, since it can be played. But how well it plays matter in the function of the deck.

But if you want a deck that works well, you need to base it around one common theme or idea, which supports your deck as a whole. Sure, anything can be considered a deck, but it may not be considered good.

How bout strategies that involve butt-kicking power-houses biggrin
That would basically mean using powerful monster to attack rather than using your weaker monsters to fight.

WHICH mans he's over playing! 3nodding

That means he's playing his better cards first-- not being cautious or considerate of what the opponent has face-down which means he's attacking whenever he can which is just what Sakuetsu Armor was made for... eek

to make a good deck, you need to have a good balance of both. the largest monster may be taken out by the simplest spells (i use the spell "hammer shot" as an example) while the best spells (i use "messenger of peace" and "level limit area-b" as examples) can be slipped past by a monster like "mataza the zapper".

I dont have a rare card. I treat all my cards the same. Power is good but wisdom is also good. These two together equals something strong and smart at the same time.

Can you translate that? That's the first time I've heard that saying.

Power means relying on powerful monsters to win (i.e. Cyber End, Cyber Twin, Blue-Eyes Ultimate). Wisdom means using weak monsters to win (i.e. Raging Flame Sprite combined with some good spell cards). My friend and old apprentice used to rely on only strength to win his duels. He always used a Blue-Eyes White Dragon card in his duels and relied on powerful dragon cards to win. He was almost undefeated until I got hold of a Buster Blader. I've used my weakest monsters to draw his plan out and then I pull the B.B. out against him by using monster cards effects and what-not. I used to only rely on power a long time ago, but now I build strange strategies that use only weak monsters.

My deck is a combination. It can be either the agressor or the defender. Depending on any given situation and how I feel like playing. My strongest monster is mobius at 2400. The next strongest is at 1850 being familiar possesed eria. I dont rely on strong monsters so to speak. But on there abilities. I back them up with my spells and traps. I have different s/t's for different things. I run royal decree to lock down traps. I got a solemn judgment that stops anything in a literal sense. I have monster destroying cards in smashing ground and lightning vortex. I have versatility in my solemn once again and my book of moon. I have umiiruka which is a field card to power up my monsters by 500. If my opponents tend to get stronger monsters out to dominate. I can handle that with swords,scapegoat,aqua spirit and penguin soldier. I have the option of taking there stronger monsters with creature swap. Or kicking there butts with exiled force. I can swarm with hydrogeddon. Thin out the deck with mother grizzly and kill off stronger monsters with yomi ship. If stalling is necessary treeborn frog can come in handy or one of the previous cards I mentioned.

My deck has options. Alot of them. Sometimes I get some of the cards that cannot work right away. That happens. But it is quite flexible. Blending power with wisdom. You can have alot of power. But there is ways to take away from that. To use it to your advantage. Wisdom is knowing the strengths of your deck and using the cards at the right moment. I choose wisdom over power. But if you can create a balance between the two. Then your deck becomes much stronger for it.
