About:

"Hello readers, my name is Dario Çelmeta, also known as KoGames. I have been a fan of Yu-Gi-Oh! for as long as I can remember. I enjoy playing the game casually and competitively. My favorite decks are Dinos and Sky Strikers, while my two favorite cards are the iconic Red-Eyes B. Dragon and the one and only Stardust Dragon. I have topped my homeland regional in Albania as well as the 2019 Bulgarian nationals and one day I hope I can win a YCS event."

You can divide decks by the floor and the ceiling of their power level. The more consistent typically operate at a decent floor but don't try to shatter any glass ceilings.
