Notes & Combos
The good old (but efficient and consistent!) Maximum Overlord deck + the powerful Sevens Road Magician... The tactic is still the same: Hold on as much as you can during your turns, either by putting your monsters in defense mode or by slowly draining your opponent's LP using the Skill to weaken their monsters without exposing yourself too much to finally do the Maximum Summon. Ideally, if your LP is much lower than your opponent's, Maximum Overlord will have very high attack power to finish the Duel. Risky but rewarding maneuver. Due to the effect of Sevens Road Magician, I used very little Spells and Traps. They always went to Grave. I used the "Negate Attack" Trap for a very short time. Thanks to the oppressive Blue-Eyes and Royal Rebels preventing my ascension to KOG, I had to use the "Widespread Ruin" Trap again to destroy at least one large monster in order to survive the Duel and guarantee victory.
