my strategy is to stall them (e.g. swords of revealing light)
and stop them getting good monsters (e.g. man-eater bug)
until i have the right cards to either sac summon to get blue eyes, tribute to get black luster soldier or equip a card with my 2 axes of despair (e.g. maha vailo)
p.s. having shooting star bow-ceal x3 in my deck was a mistake. (i missreAD IT AND THOUGHT IT SAID TO INCREASE THE ATTACK POINTS!)
