Abusing the Undead theme...
 
This is a quick rant.  Really... it is...
 
Ok, page 1.  After such a long time, I've noticed something that could greatly help alot of High-level based decks.  What I mean is, when your deck is filled with Sacrifice monsters.
 
Special summons are very easy to do with a deck revolved around it.  One such deck is an Undead deck (also known as Zombie).
 
Commonly, most special summoning decks rely on the following to do the job quickly:
 
Raise Dead/Monster Reborn
Early Burial/Premature Burial
Book of Life-Forbidden Magic/ Book of Life
Guessing Game/Reasoning
Monster Gate
Cry of the Living Dead/Call of the Haunted
 
As you probably guessed, there are some powerful cards, but they can be extreamly specific.
 
Ok, this is what I made this rant for...
 
Lets say you run an High-Level Deck.  Blue Eyes, Tyrant Dragons, APS (Jinzo), Hades, Guardian Sphinx, and the whatever you else...  The best, and most effective method to manage these monsters is, surprisingly, making an Undead deck with those cards in it.
 
Using low level Undead monsters, combined with Call of the Corpses/Call of the Mummy, can equal easy sacrifice bait with Compensation of Blood/Ultimate Offering.  Just special summon a low level Undead with anything, normal summon another one, then use Compensation of Blood to bring out that 2 sacrifice monster... or even easier, just special summon 1 monster and bring out a 1 sacrifice monster for no lifepoints cost.
 
The potentially devestating ability to special summon can easily give you a massive field advantage.
 
With this sort of combination, I know that its breaking the rules of not mixing themes.... but honestly, this works.... really!  And without the horrible side-effect of losing some 10-15 IMPORTANT magic/trap cards while "taking a chance" with Monster Gate or Guessing Game.
 
The best form of a High Level deck should looks something like this:
 
x1 ___________ *recommended: Jinzo, Guardian Sphinx, Demon King Hades*
x1 ___________ *recommended: Tyrant Dragon, Vampire Lord, Ice Emperor Mobius*
x1 ___________
x1 ___________
x1 ___________
x1 ___________
(6 tribute monsters)
x3 Resurrecting Mummy/Regenerating Mummy
x3 Soul Hunting Spirit/Spirit Reaper
x3 Pyramid Turtle
x1 Black Forest Witch/Witch of the Black Forest
x1 Critter/Sangan

(17 low-level monsters)
Jar of Greed/Pot of Greed
x3 Book of Life
x3 Call of Corpses
x3 Guessing Game
x3 Cyclone/Mystical Space Typhoon
x1 Raise Dead
x1 Early burial
x1 Black Hole/Dark Hole (for Call of Corpses)
x1 ___________
(17 magic cards)
 
x2 Compensation of Blood
x2 Tidal Wave/Torrential Tribute (for Call of Corpses)
x1 Cry of the Living Dead
x1 ___________
(6 trap cards)

Its hard to manage, but once you get it right, you can destroy anyone...
