I've been going over the "Rate my Deck" thread and there's just one thing I'd like to ask people, what is your strategy in the deck you build? At least, tell us why some of the cards you have in there are in there for the purpose of your deck in the first place. Allow me to demonstrate my deck strategy.
It's pretty apparant that Warrior-type monsters are my favorite monsters in the Yu-Gi-Oh TCG and Sword Hunter, being my favorite card, will always be in the warrior-based deck I build. While it is true that some of the cards I use in my deck aren't exactly what one would expect in a deck like mine, but at least hear what I do with them.
LP Decreasing cards: Examples for this are Princess of Tsurugi (I had her in my deck at one point) and Amazoness Swordswoman. While it is true these cards would be better in different decks, but I think they're as good in a warrior-based deck as any other warrior-type monster or card. Besides, it'll help the owner of these cards win the duel faster.
Unusual Traps: Cards like A Hero Emerges are cards that I find helpful in a tight spot. Say it's my opponent's turn, I have two high level monsters in my hand and my opponent has destroyed one of my monsters or I have no monsters at all, I activate this trap card and rely on a little luck and at least make it so that I only have these monsters in my hand and see if I can summon them. Sometimes this helps, sometimes it doesn't but that's the thing about this card game; you never know what your opponent will throw at you so you've gotta be prepared for anything.
Unusual Monsters: Monsters like Hard Armor and Armaill are often ridiculed just because of their ATK and DEF points and their normality. But they have their usage. In fact, believe it or not, these two cards have saved my hide in a couple of duels and one of them actually helped me win one. Besides, one of the other points in this game is to use your cards in whatever strategy you can to win.
While it is true that some of these strategies are flawed, but what strategy isn't? IMHO, the YGO TCG is a game of skill, strategy, luck, and patience. But the point of a game is not just to win, but to have fun; it seems many characters in the Show have forgotten that factor.
