Subject: Deck Types

	I am one of those people who reads lots of tournament reports and tips and
let me tell you...

THERE IS MORE TO YU-GI-OH THAN BEATDOWN! Beatdown is used so much it's just
sickening. Here are 10 other strategies besides beatown, hopefully I am not
to late and you don't already have a beatdown deck.

	1. Power 
Power decks use equip magic, field magic, traps, and effect monsters to
raise a monsters attack incredibly high. Usually a little slow but hard to
stop once they get going.

	2. Dragon
Use Lord of D., Flute of Summoning Dragon, and a strong dragon like Blue
Eyes or Tri Horn, Dragon Piper, and Mountain/Dragon Treusare. Pretty tough.

	3. Discard
My Personal Favorite. Use Robbin' Goblin, Bistro Butcher, White Magical Hat
and Card Destruction to destroy an opponents deck and hand. I hear we get
more good discarding cards in future sets such as magic ruler.

	4. Fusion
Not that popular, but we have 2 good fusions: Black Skull Dragon and Twin
Headed Thunder Dragon. Use Versago the destroy and Goddess with the Third
Eye for more speed. Fusion gets better with Fusion Gate and Cyber-Stien,
both good cards in future sets.
	
	5. Monster Removal
If there's one deck type I hate more than Beatdown, this is it. Use
Man-eater bug, Dream clown, Barrel Dragon, Fissure, Tribute to the doomed
and other cards to keep all monsters off the field.

	6. Zombie
Use Shadow Ghoul, Pumpking, and Castle of Dark Illusions to get out the
ultimate zombie warrior.

	7. Stall
Use Waboku, Unhappy Maiden, Swords of Revealing Light and other cards to
deck your opponent out.

	8. Exodia
Use Witch of Black Forest, Sangan, Masked Sorcerer, and the last
will/hane-hane combo to grab an instant win.

	9. Direct Damage
Use Catapult Turtle, Cannon Soldier, Just Desserts, Princess of Tsurgi,
Tremendous Fire and Ookazi to win without attacking. Very Nasty.
	10. Special Summon
Not that fast, but powerful. Gate Guardian, Harpie Lady Sisters and Great
Moth like to smack everyone around.
	
P.S. I don't think beatdown decks are bad, just overused.
