What can i say? Its been a long while that I have been playing this game and I think ive done it all. I've used every deck there is to use and i've beaten every deck there is to beat. All i have left to do is win a tournament which i can never seem to do.

Ive played this game since mid-2005 and have had plenty of fun with Duel Monsters in fact, some of my proudest moments involves Yu-Gi-Oh in some way.

I've used plenty of decks in my time. Here is a list of a few in chronological order:

 * Machina Gadget
 * Vayu Turbo
 * Scrap Deck
 * Dragunity Deck
 * T.G. Deck

There are a good number of decks that i havn't mentioned but I can't remember them. So there is a look at why I feel ive done it all in this game. I actually remained in the amateur league until I begun building the Blackwing Deck (this was July 2010). I created my Blackwing deck from scrap and tried out all of the cards for the set.

The first deck looked something like this:

{{Decklist|Blackwing Effect Monsters Normal Monsters Synchro Monsters }}
 * monsters =
 * Blackwing - Blizzard the Far North x2
 * Blackwing - Kalut the Moon Shadow x3
 * Blackwing - Shura he Blue Flame x3
 * Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn x2
 * Blackwing - Elphin the Raven
 * Blackwing - Gust the Backblast
 * Flying Kamari
 * Sacred Phoenix of the Nepthys
 * Dark Nepthys
 * Hand of Nepthys
 * The Dark Creator
 * Sasuke Samurai
 * Skull Red Bird
 * Swift Birdman Joe
 * Flying Kamari
 * Skull Red Bird
 * [[Black- Winged Dragon
 * Stardust Dragon
 * Red Dragon Archfiend
 * Psychic Lifetrancer x2
 * Gaia Knight, Force of the Earth
 * spells =
 * Swords of Revealing Light
 * Dust Tornado
 * Monster Reincarnation x2
 * Black Whirlwind x2
 * Heavy Storm
 * Black Winged Strafe x2
 * Raptor Wing Strike
 * traps =
 * Trap Hole x3
 * Black Thunder x2
 * Fake Feather
 * Blackwing Bombardment x2
 * Blackwing Backlash
 * Icarus Attack
 * Magic Cylinder
 * Draining Shield
 * Mirror Force
 * Reckless Greed x2

After playing agaist friends with this deck and trying different things, I consulted the help of a professional and together we came up with this decklist:

{{Decklist|Blackwing Effect Monsters Synchro Monsters
 * monsters =
 * Blackwing - Shura the Blue Flame x3
 * Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn x3
 * Blackwing - Bora the Spear x3
 * Blackwing - Kalut the Moon Shadow x3
 * Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind
 * Blackwing - Vayu the Emblem of Honor x2
 * Sangan
 * Spirit Reaper x2
 * Gorz The Emissary of Darkness
 * Dark Armed Dragon
 * Stardust Dragon
 * Red Dragon Archfiend
 * Black- Winged Dragon
 * Black Rose Dragon
 * Infernity Doom Dragon
 * Gaia Knight, the Force of Earth
 * Magical Android
 * Colossal Fighter
 * Blackwing Armed Wing x2
 * Blackwing Armor Master x2
 * Blackwing - Silverwind the Ascendant
 * spells =
 * Allure of Darkness
 * Cards for Black Feathers
 * Brain Control
 * Cold Wave
 * Giant Trunade
 * Heavy Storm
 * Mystical Space Typhoon
 * Black Whirlwind x2
 * traps =
 * Mirror Force
 * Torrential Tribute
 * Bottomless Trap Hole x2
 * Icarus Attack x3
 * Solemn Judgement
 * Dimensional Prison x3
 * Book of Moon x3

As we all know, the "Blackwing Deck" isn't going to ever be like this again after what the March 2011 ban list done which made me lose hope for Blackwings but i'm waiting for the September 2011 ban list to change this mistake back so that i will actually be able to keep up with Six Samurai, Tengu- Plant and other Top- Tier Meta decks. This was and always will be my favourite deck as it was my first professional deck, and it was the deck that i created through playing rather than searching decklists on the net. (Netdecking)

At the moment, I run Dragunity because they are very similar to Blackwings and are in todays meta. The decklist is as follows:

{{Decklist|Dragunity Effect Monsters Synchro Monsters
 * monsters =
 * Dragunity Dux x3
 * Dragunity Legionairre x3
 * Dragunity Phalanx x3
 * Dragunity Aklys x2
 * Dragunity Brandistock
 * Blackwing - Gale th Whirlwind
 * Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite
 * Effect Veiler x2
 * Genex Ally Birdman
 * Stardust Dragon x2
 * Scrap Dragon
 * Thought Ruler Archfiend
 * Colossal Fighter
 * Trident Dragion
 * Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier
 * Black Rose Dragon
 * Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier
 * Ally of Justice - Catastor
 * Dragunity Knight - Gae Bulg
 * Dragunity Knight - Gae Dearg
 * Dragunity Knight - Vajrayana x3
 * spells =
 * Dragon Ravine x3
 * Terraforming x3
 * Mystical Space Typhoon x2
 * Foolish Burial
 * Pot of Avarice
 * Forbidden Lance
 * Dark Hole
 * Monster Reborn
 * My Body as a Shield
 * traps =
 * Bottomless Trap hole x2
 * Seven Tools of the Bandit x2
 * Royal Oppression
 * Mirror Force
 * Icarus Attack x2
 * Torrential Tribute

My advice to younger or less experienced player is; Don't Give up, you'll reach the top as long as you don't give up! :D
