This deck is based on the one that Joey Wheeler used during the first season of the Duel Monsters (first series) anime.
Note: If you are playing by the anime rules, remove 2 "Flame Manipulator" cards, 1 "Masaki, The Legendary Swordsman" card, 1 "King Of The Swamp" card, 2 "Guardian Of The Labyrinth" cards, 2 "Protector Of The Throne" cards, and 3 "Fusion Gate" cards and move 2 "Flame Swordsman" cards and 2 "Giltia, The Dark Knight" cards from the extra deck to the main deck. The reason for this is that, in the anime, Flame Swordsmen and Giltia, The Dark Knights are normal monsters, not fusion monsters.
