Another fun to deck just to understand how specific cards play out. Counters are a lot of fun, but they require too much support outside of the deck's staples of spells and traps.

Union Effect Monsters 1
In this first Union Monster deck I am just learning how these Union monsters work. The deck can be improved a lot, but I am done learning about these cards for now. Burning Beast and Freezing Beast are both Unions, can equip each other, and have midrange ATK and DEF: they are keepers. Aitsu/Koitsu... well, they suck. I was unable to pull off that equip even once!

Dark Ruler Ha Des was the star of this deck. These Union Monsters are OK, but not keepers for a beatdown deck, or any other strong deck.

This is a really fun deck. I even beat Burning Abyss with it once, but the stars were definitely aligned for that win. I also lost like a dozen games I didn't record against Burning Abyss!
