Forum:Having fun & taking pride in the deck you created! :)


 * Hello everybody! :)

I've been feeling kind of down lately because I have been dueling with a deck that I care absolutely nothing about. There is no point in me going into the specifics about these decks, as I want to keep this post as concise as possible and avoid rambling endlessly.

Long story short, these "other" decks are the ones that people pick because they have the greatest chance of winning and the individual who makes this decision has no qualms with that, but not me. I like making my own deck from scratch and take a lot of pride regardless of whether I win or loose the duel. To me, the most important thing is to have fun and use the decks that represent your personality. To answer the question that is probably in your head at this point, "yes" I do not care if I win because I want to be UNIQUE. Hence, my deck will always be judged by other duelist as "mediocre". I am proud of my dueling deck and like my Dad always told me...

"Stick and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me!"

In other words, my Dad is telling me to "be yourself, because there is only one you and who knows how many countless copy cats who are ashamed of who they are."

My signature card has and always will be "Jirai Gumo". Even though I have lost countless times due to his negative LP sapping effect, the victories that I have had with "Jirai Gumo" are extremely satisfying and the defeats that I have had never ever made me hate "Jirai Gumo". Personally, I would rather win "1" duel out of "10" with the dueling deck that I built than win "10" out of "10" duels with a deck that I couldn't give a crap about!

The reason that I am attracted to this card is because, believe it or not, it goes hand in hand with on of lifes greatest lessons! And that lesson is...

"Life is unpredictable and full of rewards(getting the coin toss correct) and disappointments(getting the coin toss incorrect and loosing half of your LP). You need to take a risk(obviously, you have to use "common sense" and not do stupid crap!) and reach out for your dreams!  Never give up, never surrender!" :) 173.3.131.186 (talk) 23:26, April 19, 2011 (UTC)
