[@ryanpercival9823]

Thank you for this nostalgia video. This deck is special to me too. Takes me back to a simpler time. These decks were right before i dropped off Yu-Gi-Oh. I had the dragon deck, and because my bro and I split the cards we owned at this time (He took the "Warrior"side of our deck, and I took the traps/spells and whatever monsters I could), I took the creature base and added amazing traps and spells to it, replacing the more situational ones, and adding stronger dragons. It's now a pimped up version of the dragon starter, still with masked dragon and Red eyes as the creature base. Aaaaannnddddd that was my last deck. I only have a speed duel box for when I have company and this one deck as what's left of my flimsy collection; a relic of my childhood and when I could keep up with the game. Now I'm onto Magic...out of the frying pan, into the fire, i guess.

I added Tyrant Dragon and Armed Dragon Lv.7 and 10 to the Dragon Deck, as well as Horus Lv.4,6 and 8. In the Zombie-Deck, I put great Dezard and Fushioh Richie, a second Vampire Lord, the Castle of Dark Illusion and Pumpking. I even added the Spirit of the Paraoh with all three Sarcophagus-Cards.
