ON VACATION indefinitely. I have not had the chance to be competitive as of lately as there are no Regionals in the area and my work schedule has kept me from traveling out of state. If I expect to be more than a couple of months I will try to see if I can appoint a new guru for the category. My apologies to those seeking to ask me questions, but I am nowhere near as much help as I would like to be right now.

I can answer any question about Trading and the condition of cards. I can tell you how to take care of your cards and how to keep them fresh. I can tell you if a trade is worth it or not. Just ask me, and I can tell you.

I am a very alternative duelist. I am more into Anti-Meta Decks and tend to stray away from all the more popular cards. This being said I can help tremendously with loads of other decks, including but not limited to; Low Level Normal Monster Decks, Spirit Decks, Gambling and Luck related decks and many more. I choose these particular type of decks because it can be all too easy to just use any typical Beatdown/Strategy deck that you'll see in tournaments or in the Anime or Manga. To have a unique and original deck not only makes your cards and strategy unknown to the opponent but also proves your mastery of the game if you can create a winning deck, out of the Meta Game. I prefer a control deck or a mill deck over a Beatdown deck any day.

Status: Holidays, so ill be around to answer questions if you need me. Note: Any questions regarding the old generation deck/cards will be added to the question pool. I have experienced in decks of : Twilight, GB, Fabled, Chaos, Machina, Gadget Utopia, Uria Trap Deck and Morphtronics. I play yugioh for casual with friends and small tournaments, i recommend other experts if its more of a competitive question. I mainly focus on top tier deck building and loops. I can answer the following but with a little ruling: - DECK FIXES : Must tell me your cards with the number of Monsters, Magic and Trap cards are in it, not to spaced out please. - DECK BUILD : Must be a theme or a strategy, must give budget and only Advance Format only.

School time, so my question limit is back at 1, sorry. I normally respond late at night some time, and NEVER over 4 days since I got the question. I also will never reject ANY questions (As long as there on topic). Since I don't reject questions, please don't rate me poorly when I'm just trying to help you out the best of my ability:)

I can answer any questions relating to deck building, side decking, and teching in cards. I can also help guide a deck idea to a more competitive direction. Let's face it: if you're here asking for help on a deck, chances are you want to make it the best deck possible, hence competitive. I also answer any question relating to the Yu-Gi-Oh economy (ie good trades, pricings) and good investments. I am also pretty knowledgeable in rulings and scenarios, mostly from experience in tournaments and reading. Questions I can't answer are decks that are in paragraph format. Also, I am quite hesitant on answering any questions that don't show any potential or is just, in my opinion, a random stack of cards, whether it be useful or not.

I can answer almost any question regarding Advance Style Deck Fixes or Build, i can not answer question on burn deck, stall decks, or old archetype like decks (Harpie, Dark Magician, Old School Hero) or Pure Cookie Cutters, and Normal Decks cause I do not own any so would not know how to fix it or build 1 from scratch. I can also be of assistance regarding some ruling question and value question. Just make sure to list your decks clearly and to tell me specifically what the theme/strategy of the said deck is, also make sure your up to date on todays Ban List and PLEASE DO NOT PUT YOUR DECKLIST IN PARAGRAPH FORM. i will only do 1 deck fix /build per question and up to 3 ruling /values per question. you can check my youtube deck show out at http://www.youtube.com/user/yugiohdeckmaster41?feature=mhee

- I can answer most questions about the pricing of Yu-Gi-Oh cards. - I can also answer questions regarding game-play/rules. - I can also decide rulings for you, by taking time to research the cards, etc. ---(For rulings, hard rulings will be researched on and if I do not completely know the answer, I will make an educated guess on it from all information I found) You can also throw other questions at me, but you should try the other experts if your question does not relate to my Can-answer statement. I will always allow follow-up questions to be asked when I'm maxed out, so feel free to ask away. I CANNOT ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT A DECK BUILD! THOSE QUESTIONS WILL BE ADDED TO THE QUESTION POOL

I'm able to answer any and all questions related to the English Yu-Gi-Oh! game itself. This includes, but isn't limited to:

Deck Fixes: These can either be making suggestions and improvements on a deck you've already built, or building a deck from scratch for you. In either case, please give an idea of the kind of deck you're building, the level of play you're planning to use it in (fun games, small tournaments, regionals etc), and roughly the kind of budget you're on.
Please format decks in a way that's easy to read. The standard way is to put each card name on its own line, with a number before it indicating how many you're playing. Please split decks into Monsters, Spells and Traps.

NOTE: A level of reasonability is assumed with this. I cannot build you a nationals winning deck based on monsters whose name starts with the Letter 'A' on a budget of £4($6)...

Rulings: On any card interacting with any other card(s). Just tell me the scenario, and I'll tell you what happens.

I won't be answering questions on whether a trade is fair or not, or on how much X-card is .....

I only play casual so I recommend other experts if you want a more accurate answer for competitive decks. Other than that, feel free to ask me still and I'll try my best.

Note: Make sure to read and follow my instructions if you want my help. I will reject the questions if it fails to meet my standards.

• Deck Fix (Can do both casual or competitive, although I recommend other experts for competitive)
• Deck Build (I can make decks from scratch. Must give theme/strategy and cards you had in mind that you want to use. More information = faster response and better deck build)
• Rulings and Combos
• Card Price (No common cards. More information = more accurate price)
• Private Help (Send me a private question if you feel more comfortable talking to me about anything Yu-Gi-Oh TCG related that way. I can help as long as needed)

The Requirements for "Number C39 - Utopia Ray" are "3 Level 4 LIGHT monsters" OR 1 "Number 39 - Utopia".  It's perfectly legal to Mind Control your opponent's Utopia and use it as Material for Utopia Ray

I just started playing Infernity and it's been pretty amazing. From the look of your deck, I can probably guess that you've ran into multiple games where you've drawn into your Mirage, but just don't have
