Do you prefer to use Power to beat an opponent or use a lot of strategies in order to win?

Crono Leonhart 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.

Power = the extent of your deck
Wisdom = knowing how to use the cards in it
Power and Wisdom are like yin and yang, two opposites who will never clash yet at the same time make up the whole, which is the duelist.
No one player can claim they are Power over Wisdom, for without wisdom they will fail in a match everytime for not having wisdom means not having the ability to play the cards when they should/
No one player can claim they are Wisdom over Power, for without power they will fail in a match everytime since there decks extent is but limited to its cards.
One might say that a good duelist could use any extent of power from a deck, however to compare to someone who reached both Power and Wisdom, they will be vanquished. And then, all they can do is hide behind the side they choose.

I ment that do you rely on strong monsters in order to win or do you rely on Spell and Trap cards to win?

I ment that do you rely on strong monsters in order to win or do you rely on Spell and Trap cards to win? No matter how you splice it, Apeiron still makes a good point. Most " High Powered Monsters " Rely on the support from Spell and magic cards, which would mean that they aren't as " Butt-Kicking " As you would want them to be. Beat downs in the past used to be able to rely on monsters and barely and spell/trap cards, but nowdays, that comes close to impossible. Duelist have become smarter, and more aware of certain situations that may mean their demise. I myself, would not be able to, as Apeiron said, " Hide behind a side " I would supposedly choose. If I were to pick a side, then I would be missing out on all of the things that happened on the other side. In my opinion, this question would only work, for those who either have a deck full of monsters, or a deck full of Spells/Traps. ( One of my friends made a deck called Magical Explosion, and it rocked. It was based off of the Magical Explosion Trap Card, though it can be countered. You just have to do it correctly and quickly. )

I'm just asking if anyone uses powerful monsters to win a duel or use skillfull strategies to win. Not Powerful monsters with equip cards or just an all magic deck. I've seen a lot of different decks and I'm wondering if people use strategies to turn the weakest monsters into some of the most strongest monsters in the game or use just High Lvl powerful-attack monsters to win. So, my question would work.

Crono Leonhart I made a deck out of trap cards once...XD It was amuseing. Not too good though; There wasn't any way to win biggrin Trap decks have potential to work, unfortunately, they would be best in the traditional setting. Back with Fiber Jar wasn't banned, Trap decks had much, MUCH potential. They still have the potential, but now, they made it to, if a trap deck is to be made, support from the right spells are needed. Kotaro, Your question still doesn't make any sense, becuase using a powerful monster can be apart of using a strategy. Just because someone uses " Powerful Monsters " to win, doesn't mean that isn't their strategy. Then the next question would be " What do you consider ' powerful? ' " Becuase in my mind, every monsters has potential to be a ' powerful monster, ' as long as the duelist understands what they're doing. I can tell you... That most people, if not, then everyone relies on some sort of strategy. I doubt, that there is a duelist here, that just goes " Gung Ho " and sticks all beat down monsters in, unless they have some kind of strategy upon doing so.

I doubt, that there is a duelist here, that just goes " Gung Ho " and sticks all beat down monsters in, unless they have some kind of strategy upon doing so. If you think on the question, you will understand what it is asking. There are plenty of duelist who think that just because a monster has very few attack points and no special abilities and isn't part of Fusion monster, they are weak and worthless and replace them with a stronger monster that has special abilities. I'm not saying that a powerful monster isn't part of a strategy, what I'm trying to ask is do you basically rely on only strong monsters or do you make your weakest monster even more powerful. Part of the strategies in my decks is to take the most weakest monster in my whole entire deck become one of the most powerful monsters in a duel. I've seen and heard duelist say that just because a monster has low ATK points, they are useless. I've seen duelist take their weakest monster out and replace it with an even stronger monster as soon as they get it. I've been teaching my duelist pupils for a long time that even if a monster has low ATK points and no special abilities, it is not useless. The reason I've started this topic was because people are saying to take this card out and that card out because it doesn't go too well with the deck and that it has low ATK. In the structure deck topic, someone told me that "Warrior Lady of the Wasteland" should be taken out and replaced with "Giant Rat" because "Warrior Lady of the Wasteland" has only 1100 ATK and "Giant Rat" has 1400 ATK. I said earlier in the topic that I should have reworded the question a little better. Now, just think on the question, and you will understand it.

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

You need to base your deck on an Idea, not a card 3nodding
