and this is the description on how to use the deck from Tokyo: "Ok, let me explain how this works, it might seem a little strange ^^' Your deck is chocked full of draw spells, many of which can be activated by discarding a level 8 Destiny Hero (Destiny Draw, Allure Of Darkness, Trade In). I've included 5 level 8 Destiny Heros. Which ones they are really doesn't matter, I just opt for Plasma on the offchance I need to summon it one day. Upstart Goblin activates by itself with no cost and Solar Recharge requires a Lightsworn to discard to activate (hence the other half of the deck :P). Now you might think that the number of cards to discard for the draw cards is far less than the draw cards themselves, well you're right, but that's where Warrior Returning Alive comes in :) With this card, you can start with Plasma, D Draw and Trade In and STILL draw 4 cards by recycling the D Hero. Also, 2 of the Lightsworn are Warrior types too, so it can also be used with Solar Recharge :) Foolish Burials and Card Trooper are in there to support WRA and Monster Reincarnation to fetch Dark Armed or Judgement Dragon OR a Warrior of any type to discard for any draw card. I only used 1 of each Lightsworn because the monsters in this deck (including the Plasmas) are nothing but fuel to draw into a bigger cause. You need 4 DIFFERENT Lightsworn, so as much as I'd like 3 Lumina/Lyla that would leave less room for the variety needed to summon him. The monsters in this deck aren't meant to be summoned - summoning anything but Stratos or Card Trooper should be something you do if they aren't dead within the first turn :) Monsters in this deck are nothing more than discard fodder to pave the way for Judgement and Dark Armed Dragon ;)

There's room for a few personal preferences. You could swap Celestia for Ryko, but I saw myself Foolish+Wulf more often than setting a defence, his effect is too slow to keep up with a deck like this imo ^^' Hence my reason for a lack of traps. Another Monster Reincarnation might be a wise investment, on the offchance they're milled or not drawn, and the game winning JD or DAD is sitting in your graveyard =/ it happens XD As I said, the 5 D Heros don't matter, as long as they're level 8 to fuel for Trade In too :) I really think Charge Of The Light Brigade would work, but it shouldn't take priority over the draw factor and I think the deck can work without them :)

Well, there's my 2 cents! Thank you so much for your interest, nice to know my deck is appreciated (and that it actually works XD)! I'm not 100% on this list, considering I've never tried it in the TCG format, but if I did, this is what I'd use first ;)

Thank you and good luck"
