You’re not really playing. You’re just winning. Winning without any real sense of victory. Just a string of shallow wins. That will get you no respect from other players.

i duel, and im going to have to disagree with your analysis. although the game
is about dueling monsters, nobody plays that way. thats just the harsh reality. those who win are those who shell out the money to buy the secret/special/ultra rares.
you were talking about longevity in dueling. while playing for fun, i totally agree with taking my time and being a more finesse type player. but in a single elimination tournament, theres no room for that. your trying to win best out of three, and with all that pressure, you want to be sure of a win. thats where the beat down decks come in. just like your sons 'warrior' theme deck, the beat down is a theme of its own and is a staple deck in every tourney. but just because there are more duelists using beat down decks, doesnt mean its the end of the world for duelists and those who play. no deck is perfect because theyre all different. thats the beauty of the game.
im just stating my case because i have a beat down deck and ive won some and lost a whole bunch. and even though i lost, i still shook the other guys hands and commended them on a job well done...even if he was 12 years old and just whooped my ass. i duel in tournaments to share a passion and to learn more about the game and the strategy aspect of it. you gotta remember win or lose, its just a game and were all there to have fun.
