Hi everyone!
 
First things first: POJO RULZ!!
 
Now... My game style is to have a bunch of backup plans with cards that can convine in more that one way to support a couple of main plans. The idea is to (almost) always have something in store for ur opponent... is fun to look at their face when they thought they just figured out your strategy and you come up with something else (^_^).  Really, relying on 3 or 4 cards just isn't for me...
 
Now to the point:
 
I recently made an Archfiend's deck, so of course, I came up with a backup plan. The idea is to resolve the situation when you don't get any of the three PANDEMONIUM's (or for some reason you don't get to have one on the field) and the cost of your monsters is draining you to the grave, specially when they've done some damage already. At some point of the duel your main problem will be the payment as your opponent just sits to watch you die slowly by your own (expensive) guys!. You may be kickin' his liver out, then he/she finishes his/her turn... you draw you card... and lose. Some SALOMON'S LAWBOOK's may be helpful, some times not good enough (Again... if you don't get to kill... finish turn, draw card, lose :P )
 
The cutest solution I came up with was turning your main disadvantage to your favor. The facts are that you know how much LP you're loosing each turn, thus you can predict when you'll get your very LAST TURN ( <--- !!!)
 
Exactly! the mainly underrated card LAST TURN can be quite a game-ender (nahhhh, really <:D !? ). The unavoidable payment can get you to the slim 1000 or less range to use LAST TURN, wich normally is the hard part of the card; and then you can use any of the LT strategies, including my favorite with JOWEN (wich BTW is 'Sanganable' and 'Witchable').
 
Again, the face on you're oponents when they see JOWEN next to your Archfiends is priceless... only surpassed by the look on their faces when you activate LT.
 
As I said before, this is a BACKUP PLAN, since it is kind of situational, but at least U have one more hope in case the payment becomes a problem. You just need a couple of extra cards on your deck, and can really save you on those situations when the virtual winner actually loses... believe me those who doubt... it IS frustrating.
 
Hope you liked this tip and if you get the chance, you should try it once in a while ;) !
