Forum:Help defeating a dark emperor deck

I decided to duel my friend that I never new had yugioh cards and I found out all he had was a structure deck and a few boosters. But the structure deck he had was "The Dark Emperor". I didnt care at first cause i had a pretty good deck I beat my other friends with but I got screwed over after 5 turns into the duel. I had no cards to beat him. then I rememade my deck back to the "Blaze of Destruction" structure deck with some good cards thinking ill have a better chance. I only lasted a few more rounds and still lost like I was a total noob.

I really need help beating a "The Dark Emperor" deck. With a deck that removes cards from play.

the only way i see it is buying a "The Dark Emperor" deck myself and powering that up.

any suggestions?
