Ive decided that every now and again im gonna post a topic to get your thoughts on whatever topic happens to come up on that day.

So we start with a Yu-Gi-Oh! related topic.

Basicly this started because my freind has a completly unthemed deck and i was convinced that his deck worked on fluke and you had to have a themed deck to get anywhere on the world stage.

He had told me and others in my team that he had reached third in 2005 and to be honest we didnt exactly believe him.

Then one day i found a profile on a jap Yu-Gi-Oh! player and former world champion. There he mentions "Those brave dualists that go againts the flow like Mr Saltman...." In referance to my freind.

So basicly i conceeded that he wasnt lying but was adament that its 2010 and now you need themes to get anywhere.

Yet time and time again he beat me. No matter the build inluding many posted here. For my Junk OTK he is the one deck of those that go to my club that it cant beat! In fact if it wasnt for him it would have gone to the local tourney i won undefeaten.

So i then built one. I have edited it no end and was convinced that though the decks are very similar sharing 17 of the same card it would fail as i believed his deck was a fluke build.

Anyway now i have beaten his deck and i must conceed he was right.....or is he!?

Comment and give me your opinion.

P.S. Another freind of myn thinks it wrong to copy.....which i didnt i toke ideas from his deck but is this wrong to do!?

Though i agree i still believe 40 cards is the way to go....

that aside i still have alot of faith in themed decks.

thats why you make a side deck to change your deck


i can change my deck from a dark deck to a chaos/ synchro deck.

exactly if you see blackwings you know what to exspect and how to counter most themed decks are same as others peoples ii prefer originality you cant predictable a unthemed decks next move
