yes, i know my deck doesn't have a theme. what can be improved and what cards would help my deck be better and what cards can be removed from the deck due to lack of usefulness.

OK dude, first of all, main part of your deck is a theme. And since you don't have one let's think of one. If you need a ideas you can base your deck around a specific type or attribute. Orrrrrrr for further ideas, look at some decks to get some ideas. Once you got an idea, post it here or pm me.

Some ideas are:

Chaos decks, fire, water, earth, wind, dragons, zombies, elmental hero decks, armed dragon decks, horus decks, insect decks, possibilities are endless! well almost anyways.

why does a deck need a specific theme? can't a deck work when it's hodgepoged together? for example, some of my cards have nothing to do with each other, but can work really well together

one thing i like about my deck is the cards that can cause direct damage like my servant of catabolism or cards that beef up other cards like ax of dispair

You could juust use cards with effects like Servant of Catabolism and equips like Axe of Despair, while sidedecking another theme.

I used to run a deck full of cards like Servant of Catabolims and Inaba White Rabbit, with some burn cards like Solar Flare Dragon, using Gravity Bind and Level Limit Area B to protect them, and Axe of Despair to power them up. I didn't sidedeck anything though.

Also, please don't double post, I believe it's against the rules to do so.

i'm not sure i have enough cards to make a full deck of cards like servent of catabolism..... is there a way for you to see my inventory? maybe it's possible to help me come up with a decent deck based on what i already have.

OK, so obviously you are playing traditional. "Staples," that is cards that work in just about every deck, are: Pot of Greed, Change of Heart, Delinquent Duo, Raigeki, Harpie's Feather Duster, Monster Reborn, Dark Hole, Mirror Force, Premature Buriel, Call of the Haunted, Heavy Storm, Mystical Space Typhoon, Sangan, Sinister Serpent, Breaker the Magical Warrior, Tribe-Infecting Virius, and Torrential Tribute. Note that most of these are spells: your deck should heve about the same amount of monsters as spells (leaning more to the spells), with about 16-17 monsters and 17-18 spells. There should only be around 5-7 traps in a deck, because too many and Jinzo, which negates traps, will hurt you. Normal monsters with attacks of 1800 or less just don't cut it. Since your deck is obviously beatdown, a good card to use is Insect Knight, which has 1900 atk and is a common, therefore easily obtainable. Also, your deck should only run AT MOST 3-4 Tributu monsters. How would you like to have a hand of Jinzo, Summoned Skull, Blue-Eyes, Dark Magician, and something like Monster Reborn?

Good luck with your deck, hope this advice helped.

Maybe this can help size down your deck a bit, a really dont reccomend using the spinxs from the movie, because u don't have a sinlg Pyramid of Light in your deck
