[dragon] Gold Dragon playstyle...[Rob, KC, Hokosaki, Shiryu]

[Michael Iakovides]

Oh these are fair enough points. I was just trying to get a feel for the 
deck before I tried it out. There is no aspersion to KC or his skill (like 
he said results speak for themselves). I was just wondering about some 
things and wanted to see his point of view:). Sorry if anyone thought I was 
disparraging, I was just trying to get the feel of something that obviously 
works...

Regards,
Michael Iakovides
