Welcome
...to my User Page. I'm not sure how long Yugioh has been out, but I have been playing it for a long time; maybe not since it first appeared, but soon afterwards - I clearly remember watching the very beginning of the first Yugioh anime with Yugi, Joey, Tristan, Tea, etc. Yugioh is and has been a fun pastime for me that provides a means of self-expression through creativity and a hobby for me to be occupied by. I do not take this game too seriously, however, and I really try to have fun and enjoy as much of it as I can.

My specialties deck-wise are non-meta decks, such as Aliens and Cloudians (especially Aliens). If you need help/advice about your deck, feel free to post it on my Talk page under its own heading.

Favorite Monsters
1) Ultimate Baseball Kid - just... awesome

2) Nightmare Penguin - why my water decks were so good back in the day

3) Alien Warrior - so many uses for 2 A-Counters...

4) Patrician of Darkness - had him forever

5) Giga Gagagigo/Gogiga Gagagigo - only one I know who can pronounce them correctly

My Cards
As long as I have been playing, I have never tried to create a full collection of cards. I only had the ones for my deck and a small pile of others to trade. If I got bored with the deck I had at the moment, I would dismantle it and come up with my next deck idea. Then, I would use my trade cards to obtain any cards I needed for the new deck; essentially meaning I never had more than 1 deck at a time.

In the past, I would have even cycled through a deck a week, constantly changing the cards I had in an effort to keep up with my creativity; I would spend the week building the deck and on Saturdays I would test it out at the store. Then, I would dismantle it and begin collecting the cards for my next deck. This, of course, made me proficient at deck-building.

Current Decks
This list might change often

1) Alien Swarming deck

Likes:
As i said above, I like original, preferably non-meta decks that really test a person's skill as a duelist and deckbuilder. Examples of archetypes I like:


 * Aliens


 * Cloudians


 * Normal Monsters that aren't Gemini (ok, not really an archetype)


 * Ojamas


 * Crystal Beasts (to a degree)


 * Attribute/Type decks


 * Billy Decks (especially ones that work)

--essentially anything that requires effort, skill, or finesse to win; and, of course, is fun to play with

Dislikes:

 * Meta decks


 * Cookie Cutter


 * Netdecking - have some originality!


 * strangely enough, Anti-Meta decks - only purpose is to counter meta, so I think they really aren't much better; however, I do like them more than I like Meta decks

--anything designed to win easily, or any overpowered archetypes (meta)
