I'm aiming to start doing better at large tournaments so I'm very tempted to build X-Sabers, and i was wondering if this was a good choice, also any constructive opinions on whether Darksoul and Emmersblade will be hit by the banlist is welcome.

So basically is this a good choice or should I go a different way ? (I WILL NOT get any Tour Guides unless they are reprinted)

Many thanks :)

I already have a Machina Gadget deck that does reasonably well at locals, but I was considering making a blackwing deck and was wondering which is better ?

Can king of the swamp be used as a substitute in the following fusion monsters?

Five Headed Dragon

Elemental Hero Gaia

King Dragun

Cyber Twin Dragon

Cyber End Dragon

Chimeratech Overdragon

I'm not 100% sure which cards this can be used with so I'd appreciate some advice.

Many Thanks ! :)

I was planning to use this deck at locals, I've incorporated a few synchros but I know alot of people are confused by Bri Synchron's effect (the synchro gets it's effect back during the end phase for anyone who didn't know), and I was hoping people could suggest changes that would improve the deck, however small :)

Trago

Any suggestions are welcome, I would really appreciate confirmation of this deck as in the past I have lost pretty badly at locals using a Machina Force strategy, then a Cyber Dragon deck, and now this is the one I intend to use.

I know DD Macro has consistently been an anti-meta deck throughout the evolution of the game and is likely to always be a sure fire way to win games, yet I've heard that Machina Gadgets are a Higher tier deck, so my question is which should I make, and can anyone give me a skeleton deck of the better of the two ? Thanks in advance :)

I have been to a number of tournaments and I never seem to be able to win a match, so I've posted my deck list (Following the March 2011 ban list) here in the hopes that someone could suggest some improvements...

1x Return from the Different Dimension

I also intend to invest in 2 more Cyber Twins, 2 Dimensional Fissure for Lightsworns, 3 Shadow Imprisoning Mirror for Blackwings, 2 Evolution Burst (Save space in the deck as they can destroy any card on the field and are less specific than fissure etc.), 3 Shining Angel, and another Overdragon.

PLEASE HELP !! :(

I find myself in a dilemma..... With the removal of Cyber Dragon from the ban list I'm very tempted to play a Cyber Dragon deck focusing on cyber dragon support cards, however, the power and summoning capabilities of a Cyberdark deck also attract me, I would aprreciate some advice on helping me decide. Thanks in advance :)

is it currently forbidden, limited, semi-limited, or unlimited ? (July 2011)

I plan on running a Blue-Eye's Deck but I'm worried that it is hard to keep hand advantage in this type of deck, can anyone suggest some cards and strategies to maintain hand advantage ? thanks in advance.

I'm looking for a "Cyberdark Impact!" spell card, I have a substantial collection of cards and would be willing to trade rare cards in exchange for this card.

I'm trying to find a copy of the "Cyberdark Impact!" spell card. My ideal price would be below £10 but I was wondering if anyone could help me out ? :)

Which deck should I build ? I have a limited budget and the machina works out cheaper, but I wanted to know if the Gravekeeper price is worth it ? thanks in advance :)

I wanted to make an original and coherent deck and found the locking technique of several Marauding Captains quite attractive and i was hoping to include cards that included an image of the Captain on it.
