Hello Duelists, Sorry I've been missing from my blog due to lack of creativity. But since this is about yugioh then enough about reality and more on the knowledgeable. In our fair game and your personal lives there's a small element that's name happens to be “decision” and in this game  many pros would agree it can help a player win games or aid in devastatingly loses. However inside the ability to decide there lies two sides to be considered.

First, we'll cover the most known solution in every situation and that is the “Best Move”. The best move in definition is the move where it's obvious and very much is supposed to be the expected answer to Problem A by doing solution B. For instance: Your opponent summons a monster that has higher attack than the one you have on the field while you have a Bottomless trap hole set. At this moment you know and it is known that once you flip that BTH that your opponent’s monster is going to die and your going to get another turn to Normal summon or Special Summon thus possibly granting you a chance to attack for game. This is how most “Best Moves”'s work their sometimes simple moves that can effect the game and a major portion of their importance is that they can help new players in the game strengthen their skills by understanding these basics.

However since after the novel stage of being in the wears off then these moves become so expected that their practically read and prepared for , but this is when “personal moves” take over.  Personal moves are those you develop through creativity of your own personal playing style, habits when inside a duel
and from personal experience of whats good and what's bad . These moves are often the ones that surprise your opponents and throw them in a unfamiliar place during the duel. For instance if your opponents summons a Dark armed dragon while you have a Bottomless trap hole face down then would you activate it or use that brain control in your hand next turn to take his DAD, blow his field with the two darks in your grave, attack then tribute him for the Caius in your hand, only after you've taken some life point damage. That decision is up to you my fellow duelist. But now you can see how  thought out a personal move is versus a best move that's common knowledge.

In conclusion, Its up to every duelist what you do during your turn and if you succeed while doing it. Whether its the sangan + torrential combo or something you've concocted while building your latest creation. But please keep this in your mind from when your draw your first five cards to when your trying to Defend/swing for game. And always remember Duel great and Have fun.

Man, those metaphors. It's almost like Chuck Grassley's Debt and Deficit Dragon presentation.

I did read it, but I still fail to see a point in this thread's existence.

Letting BTH get destroyed instead of activating is pretty foolish, even under the circumstances you mentioned. You will probably take a buttload of damage after DAD clears your field if you don't remove it, and even if you do activate BTH, your opponent will still summon something else to be brain controlled, or might even waste lp on something like My BodyaaS or Solemn, so you'll still be able to make the brain control play. If you don't play your BTH, they'll still have their dragon and their negation to use on you later.

IMO, it's called "the best move" for a reason.

I think the leader has a great point. Mind you, i usually do the best move myself, but there are times when a personal move is far better to ones own mindset and has priority. For example, i hate using synchros. Totally hate them. Which is why most of my decks are synchro free. But i still play with a few tuners here an there because of either there graphics or support for my other cards that aren't synchros. It's also why i try to run 2 copy's of "C" in most of my decks if i can fit it. I usually lose mind you, but im okay with that, cuz i also usually get to bring out a great combo that i wanted to use or see someone else use a heavy combo that i might be able to incorporate into my own. Sigh... think of the "personal" move as the more fun way to play the game as the "Best" move as the more competitive way. They both work, and they both make sense to those who play them. It's really a matter of preference.

Thanx Ger

why do you hate synchros?! you just decided that you hate them?
