Great duels man.
First and foremost your knowledge of how rulings work and how cards work is great. I see no need for you to improve that. There were a few mistakes but they were small and slight misreads or forgotten effects. Not a big deal.
Your deck is pretty sound form what I saw and it also has the ability to be versatile, these are pluses.
As far as your strategy goes it is pretty sound and your use of cards is very skillful at times. Sometimes you hang onto a card that lower ranking people would have used quickly. I did notice you tend to put your normal spells face-down. you should really only do that if the opponent is threading your hand. They take up space and can be destroyed on my turn. I wasn't playing a hand killing deck, so there was no need to put your spells at risk. It can be a nice bluff technique and it is great for quickplay spells, but to set more than 2 is a bit too risky for my tastes.
As I said your knowledge of rulings and how the game works seems fine.
Overall I noticed that your play style stayed the same. It is a good style to use, but don't be afraid of adapting your play style to your opponents deck a bit. I our duel there was not a real need for you to do this but I got the feeling you play like that regardless, I could be wrong =) no offense meant. That being said, minus my 'feeling' I feel that you are close to Obelisk level. But I don't think you are quite there yet. Setting those spell cards can be a bad habit and come back and bite ya.
That all being said I recommend you stay in Ra Yellow for now. A bit more and you will be Obelisk. Also keep in mind that these are just my opinions. Hope they help.
Rank: Ra Yellow
