Oh sorry I was too lazy to write "Dark Magican" more then once... XD

Most decks have some sort of base to work with, but yeah, your right with the elemental heroes, no matter what I end up mxing things up and then I get the problem of "what was I building this deck with elemental heroes in it for again?". As soon as I add other monsters, I find that honestly? There are better cards for the same things you end up with that don't involve those cards. But... The E.Heroes cards are some of the most extensive archtypes... There is ALWAYS the temptation to TRY and make it work I find. =_=

The neo-spaians are mostly centred around Neos, so when you involve them your pretty much reject all the other elemental heroes at times, though their fusions with neos only last one turn unless you have the right card. Again, it makes things though because they don't stay on the field. Their good as a extension to the e.heroes decks, but kinda not that gereat again. Again, like the elemental heroes deck they are paired up with, their amognst the most extensive deck archtypes and very hard to work out. If you use them, you usually enmd up once again mixing other monsters in.

I think synchros monsters were just invented because people had so much trouble getting big powerful cards on the field, but once you get one on the field, unless they pull a cheap trick or counter it with their own you pretty much dominate a match. Its like from one unbalanced play style where you were lucky to get a powerful out to one where weanie cards struggle to survive... Though having tuner monsters in a deck does balance things out since your forced to use monsters you wouldn't otherwise just to get that powerful monster out, whereas with fusion monster most low level monsters were not really worth usuing.

Another draw back to things these days is the lack of normal monsters. Once upon a time, they were a stable of every duel pack you bought, now, the effect monsters were. I'm not saying I like them, its just the most iconic monsters didn't need special effects because other cards were leaning on them. Red eyes dragon was a normal monster, but there was several things you could do with it. Morden yugioh is also less focused on supporting a single card like this, with a few exceptions to the rule. UI guess thats why apart from Stardust dragon, I've yet to click with some of the newer monsters I guess. :-/
