Subject: Burner/Stall Combo-Mick Palmer

Well, this is my first time sending in a combo or anything, but I'm no 
novice to this game either.

Now, I run two decks, a beatdown deck and a burner/stall deck and I thought 
I'd show people some strategies that run good in a burner/stall style deck.

First off you need your staple low level stall monsters, such as Prevent 
Rat, Giant Soldier of Stone, Mystical Elf, etc.  Then throw in other staple 
cards for your stall style decks, such as Gravity Binds and Messenger of 
Peace's(I run two Gravity Binds and one MoP).  Then throw in your burner 
cards, like Tremendous Fire(I run 2), Ookazi(2 as well), Sparks(2 again), 
Hinotama(only one, :/).  Then if you have any, throw in your direct damage 
monsters, such as Jinzo #7... and I forget the other names of others, but 
you can get them from MRD and all are commons.  Then power them up with 
cards such as Malevolent Nuzzler(3 is the best number here), and such and 
when you're stalling your opponent's monsters from attacking your low level 
low attack burner monsters, you can attack they're life points directly and 
take them slowly...

This strategy works best against beatdown decks as it tore my tournament 
beatdown deck apart(runs 2x Magic Drains, 1 Magic Jammer, IO, 3 Harpies 
Bro's, and your other staple beatdown cards, and has a great 7 star in 
Barrel Dragon).

Just some homely advice from me to you if you're interested in making a 
burner deck.  Burner decks are good for experienced users, so a novice who 
just picked up a few boosters and two starter decks(Kaiba and Yugi), won't 
have the right cards to make an effective one.

I guess that's all, if you have any comments about this strategy then just 
email me at <a
