• Get Mythical Beast Cerberus as early as possible with Draw Sense: LIGHT then summon him immediately.
• When Mythical Beast Cerberus is on the field activate all spells you have except Union Attack, Secret Pass to the Treasures and Storm.
• Use Gather Your Mind and Shard of Greed so that you deck out before marik burns himself to death.
• Best use of Shard of Greed would be to keep it on your field until you know activating it would make your deck 0.
• On your final turn set unused spells then use Storm to clear Marik's spell/trap zone. Summon Gravekeeper's Vassal then use Secret Pass to the Treasures and Union Attack on him, direct attack for 9999+ damage.

• Start the duel by summoning The Unhappy Girl or by setting Rai-Mei or Crystal Seer if you don't have The Unhappy Girl from you hand. Attack Marik's monster to prevent it from attacking you.
• Do not have 2 monsters in your field. Marik will tribute those monsters to Special Summon Lava Golem.
• Avoid sending cards to your Graveyard at the beginning of the Duel to prevent early damage from Marik's skill Shadow Game. Set your spell cards so you don't have to discard cards immediately by having a full hand.
• Use heal cards if possible, this will prevent Marik from reducing your Life Points to 0 when he special summons Masked Beast Des Gardius and another monster. This also provides you longevity against Shadow Game.
• Pot of Benevolence is used to prevent Marik from decking out before you. This also prevents or lessen damage to his own Life Points by Shadow Game, his Life Points might be reduced to 0 before your final turn.
• Make sure that you set Forced Ceasefire before your final turn. Crystal Seer can prevent it to be placed at the bottom of your deck.
• On your final turn, activate Forced Ceasefire to prevent Marik from using Nightmare Wheel. Use Temple of the Kings then activate Celestial Transformation to Special Summon Mystical Beast of Serket from your hand. Activate Temple of the Kings' effect to send it along with Mystical Beast of Serket to your Graveyard so you can Special Summon Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon. Summon Gravekeeper's Vassal then activate Secret Pass to the Treasures so you can attack Marik directly. Follow it up by using Union Attack to achieve over 9999 damage.

• Get Yellow Luster Shield as early as possible. Use Magical Mallet and send all last turn cards to deck and try to draw Yellow Luster Shield. Once you have Yellow Luster Shield on the field, Labyrinth Wall can safely stall until your last turn.
• Cards you will only need on the last turn are Gravekeeper's Vassal, Ritual Foregone, Shield & Sword, Union Attacks, and your ritual monster.
• Use Pot of Benevolence whenever Marik has at least 2 cards in his graveyard to prevent him from burning himself to death.
• Aegis of Gaia is to make sure you do not get burned to death by Shadow Game.
• Remember to always keep a spell/trap zone free until your second to last turn. An ideal spell/trap zone would be 1 Yellow Luster Shield, 1 Aegis of Gaia and 1 free space. Setting Jar of Greed would be fine since it can always be used.
• On your second to last turn set Forced Ceasefire. Activate it during your last turn so Marik can't use Nightmare Wheel.
• During your final turn after you activate Forced Ceasefire use Shield & Sword then change labyrinth wall to attack position then use Ritual Foregone to special summon your ritual monster. Normal summon Gravekeeper's Vassal then use 2 Union Attacks on him, use Gravekeeper's Vassal to attack an attack position monster with the lowest attack Marik controls to get 9999+ damage assessment.

• Works like a usual beatdown deck. Summon monsters with high attack to destroy opponent's monsters.
• Destroying Mystic Tomato or Lord Poison with Element Saurus while an earth monster is face-up negates their effects.
• Use Exile of the Wicked to destroy Masked Beast Des Gardius. Or use Paralyzing Potion to prevent him from attacking.
• Use Trap Jammer to negate Nightmare Wheel.
• Use Lava Golem to beatdown Marik when he summons it to your field. When Marik uses Nightmare Wheel on Lava Golem, use Altar for Tribute on Lava Golem and gain life points.
