im all for this whole 'make inventive decks' thing, but some cards are just not worth filling your deck up with as they are weak , of near impossible to summon. its all well and good saying that rituals are easy to summon thaks to searcher cards, but what happens when you are top - decking? if you summon one of these things and get a ritual card big freakin whoop, u still have a pathetic stats monster on the field, ready to be crushed by an opposing monster. the same with dark paladin. there are virtualy no good dragons to competitively play with. he will never get his effect in then. he is near impossible to summon and you have to have the weak dark magician in to do the fusion. DNA surgery will not stay on the field for very long because of all the magic and trap removal around. its a harsh reality but todays dueling is more focused on the more powerful cards and any other card is rejected. the only inventive dueling that goes around nowadays is throwing in a shiny 2400 atk lv 6. exodia also. exodia is the funnest and most powerful deck, but look at all the rubbish yo have to put in for it, back up soldierx3 mystic tomatoe, jar of greed, upstart goblin,appropriate, these are all deck - fillers. i bet if someopne built a deck with these  'filler ' cards they'd win because no one has thought of ways to stop them [besides me with my chaos command magician and sasuke samurai]. then everyone would build a filler deck and power - house would start to win. the best way to duel is by uniting all of your fav cards toogether, then you have a totally random duels.theres a good chance that people will stilll use the powerful cards because they are their favs because the are powerful, but other cards will see some use too. im not trying to dis respect anyone but there is no point in buying pack after pack in search of one card and not using the cards you were dealt in the process. thats just pure waste ful. ok a lot of the cards do suk, but some are more useful[not all, but some] - eg :giant orc,magician of faith, kuriboh, etc.i may be wrong, but ive never heard some one say i'd like to put that in but i don't have a monster to take out.the impotant thing is not to put a card in because that effect may be useful once. when putting in your fav cards u must weigh up  whether it is solid or slightly good. anyway wite your views back to me at
