Subject: A Deck for a Useless Card - Master of Shadows

Hello, Pojoers! Someone sent in a deck that uses Great Phantom Thief as the main card. His name's Cameron Waud and I'm giving him credit for this deck. Except for the last line where I close out, I'm not responsible for anything here that's misspelled. Here's the deck.

Your deck idea can be pretty solid in a Spellcaster-Oriented Deck. With Magical Dimension clearing the opponent's field you'll be allowing yourself direct attacks with Great Phantom Theif (GPT) very often.

As well as allowing multiple attacks if used during your battle phase, you can also use it to Special Summon Ceremonial Bell and Mind on Air in Defense mode because I don't know anyone in the right mind who would Tribute Summon Mind on Air or would play Ceremonial Bell in face-up ATK Mode just to get GPT's effect off successfully.

Confiscation, Respect Play, and Trap Dustshoot are also there to also allow you to get a look at the opponent's hand. D. D. Designator, Mind Crush, and ofcourse Great Phantom Theif are there to capitalize on this glance at the opponent's resources.

Back to me again. There's the deck and his explanation on it. If you missed what I said about Great Phantom Thief and some decent support for him, then go back and look under April 4's tips for a tip from Master of Shadows. Expect to hear from me soon!
