Hmm, this is a tough one. I'll work through my reasoning right now.
 * Akiza (Dark Scorpions) - This one is fun. The multiple Shrink and Gale the Whirlwind are nice additions.
 * PHASE (Also Dark Scorpions): Now this one just looks much more spotty. Lots of single cards that wouldn't really work so well... and only two Reckless Greed? Travesty! Also, I see no need for all the DARK Tuners - it's not a synchro deck.
 * Bwinggale (Gardna): This was a well done deck. However, I think he missed a trick - Inverse Universe, a permanent trap-version of Shield and Sword. It could have replaced the inferior-to-Dimensional-Prison Cross Counter (it may fit with the theme, but it really isn't that good). I liked the idea of Unity for OTKs.
 * Drew-Gi-Oh (Burning Skulls): First of all... there is nothing to be said about that accent he was faking. Second of all, now that I think about it, I made those Burning Skull cards REALLY broken. And third of all, the deck looks pretty OK. Good job.
 * ME!!!!! (Trap Holes): I would like to say in advance that if I didn't get the number of exclamation points in your name correct, I don't care and won't fix it. More importantly, I was very surprised to see Elemental Hero Clayman, though I guess he works... and finally, I think you missed a trick. Treacherous Trap Hole. Due to the easy ways to get traps out of your graveyard (Grizzly, Recycling the Traps), I was expecting you to use this. But the deck is pretty neat even so.
 * Yug11-18 (B.E.S.): Playing a B.E.S. deck as aggro does not work as well as you might think, which is (I assume) what you were aiming for. I also dislike the idea of Cost Down - vehemently, as you lose two cards when you could have lost less. Magical Mallet also loses you cards, and thus isn't all that useful in this kind of deck. OnR the other hand...
 * Runer5h (B.E.S.): Now THIS is how it's done. I've actually used a B.E.S. deck before and it works well as control. Of course, I can't vote for myself (and none of you should do so either).
 * Gadjiltron (Burning Skulls): I prefer this deck over Drew-Gi-Oh's for two reasons. First of all, no "ghetto" slang (:P). Second of all, with Everliving Underworld Cannon and the Kurenais, this build may burn even brighter (and therefore faster) than Drew's.
 * Hpboy111 (Goblins): Yeah, sorry about the lack of puns. I dislike the idea of Meteorain, first of all, because it seems tacky to me. You could have used something like Smashing Ground, which would allow more direct shots at the LP with Decoy Squad. Other than that, it looks pretty OK to me.

Aww, they generally look so good.... Um... er... Gadjiltron! Runer5h (talk • contribs) 04:46, July 30, 2010 (UTC)Runer5h
