strength and half strategy.  Anyway you'll see what I mean.

attack by half the attack strength of the opposing monster.
x1 Force Field - activate when opponent uses a magic or trap.  That cards 
effect is negated and both cards are destroyed.

Fusion Monster - 1

x1 Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon

Well as u can see about half of my monsters half atk points lower than 1500.  
So theres the proof that its not a complete beatdown deck.  Anyway the way I 
use this is to try to get one of my dragons out, especially Blue Eyes 
Ultimate.  How u ask?  Why I simply use the Devil Franken.  And after that, 
slap down the dancing fairies in defense mode to raise my lps by 1000 each of 
my stand-bye phases.  And giant growth is just in there for power.  And I 
have already told u my best combo.  look in the early august and those other 
posts for Zach.  You'll find in it one of them.  Hope this gives u people 
ideas on basing your deck on power and strategy.
