Magoroku Shido/Deck

Shido uses a Danger World deck revolving around powerful monsters. He fills up his field with monsters, rushing down the opponent while still keeping his center filled for defense. He doesnt appear to use items (he seems to look down on players who leave their center open) and also only uses basic, simple spell cards, like crimson slash and night in the wild, to supplement his monsters. His buddy monster, Bluechase Dragon Garg, is mainly used to let him fill the field when he has reached the size limit. This is particularly useful for his ace monster, Emperor Dragon Gael Khan, as it allows him to attack more than once per turn with it on the field.

In general, Shido is a very arrogant and overconfident fighter. He also tends to try to stack the odds prior to his fights, via a combination of bribery and sabotage, even going so far as to kidnap Genma and steal his deck in order to increase his own odds of winning the ABC Cup. In the Japanese version, his deck name seems to involve some play of words around his demeanour of speaking, where he tends to end his sentence with -desu shi. In [http://buddyfight.wikia.com/wiki/Episode_14%3A_Noble_Heart!_Together_with_the_Dragon_Knight! Episode 14], he called his deck デンジャラス・DEATH・死 (which reads Denjarasu-desu shi. Hence can be directly translated to "Dangerous-DEATH-DEATH").

Shido also owns an Ancient World deck, his Buddy in this deck is Silver Dragon, Adelaide. While he claims this is his serious deck, he complains about Ancient World's Lifelink Keyword, because of that his strategy with this deck is to bring his ace Monster, Dimensional Demonic Dragon, Radith the Tyrant who doesn't have Lifelink. Shido uses many Wild Dragons to continously use Radith the Tyrant's abilities to either prevent its destruction or negate the opponent's spells, however doing so quickly drains his hand, Gauge, and Life leaving him weakened and vulnerable once he is unable to pay the cost for Radith the Tyrant's abilities.
