Subject: A simple rule on deck building - Dark Sage

Hey Dark Sage here again.

This time I have a tip for newbies.

One simple rule on deck building is that you should never, ever focus your deck on just stalling like using a lot of Hane-hanes, Man-eater Bugs, and Wall of Illusion. (I learned that from my last tournament)

The best to do is to focus your deck on being able to take out your oppnent's life points directly by using Hane-hane etc. to remove your opponent's monsters and using Neo, Battle Ox, La Jinn etc. to take out their life points.

I know it's risky but just go on an all out assault if you're feeling lucky, I did and I won my duel.

If you don't want to be careless then there is a combo.

You will need Dark Hole, Heavy Storm(2), Change of heart(optional), Magician of Faith(3), Monster removal monsters(Hane-hane), and any attack monsters.

First of all, if your have Dark Hole and Heavy Storm in you hand use them and then summon your La Jinn or watever to attack. This usually guarantees an successful attack unless they use magic jammer, then you would have to count on your Magisian of Faiths.

So this is one of the basic combos you can do.

Remeber, even though a strong defence is good, it won't help you take out their life points, so actually attack.
