a well balanced six samurai deck- frank jones
As far as
monsters are concerned, I would have to say that the
six samurai are easily in the top 5 as far as
compatability and support are concerned, right up
there with the gladiator beasts and e-heros. So, I
couldn't resist taking advantage of that in my
newest deck.

Alright, the basic strategy to this deck is swarm.
Get the samurai's out on the field as soon as
possible so you can bring out the shoguns, and
protect them with the ebon steeds, the a forces, and
swords in the meantime. Use reinforcement of the
army to get the ones you want from your deck, as
well as card trader, and once you have some solid
field control in place with the kamon/yaichi combo,
slap a united we stand on your zanji, irou, or even
shogun for an easy but deadly beatstick. use your
fallen samurai to bring out enishi to clear your
opponent's monsters in addition with zanji and irou,
and your opponent will be hard put to stay alive.
The biggest weakness in this deck is field clearers
such as mirror force and lightning vortex, since the
samurai's sacrificing effect can't stop it, so use
the matter transporters to save enishi and shogun.
grand mole finishes it up by dealing with your
opponents beatsticks with no damage to you, and
morphing jar provides some much needed draw power.
