Constructing a Yu-Gi-Oh! Deck

If you read this sentence, it means you’re interested in Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game, aren’t you? Welcome! Have you bought your first Starter Deck? How about Booster Packs? Do you know how to make a deck that can make it through tournament all over the world? Here we will talk about the importance of a pre-duel preparation: making your Main Deck. It’s not just about cramming forty cards together thoughtlessly, nor is it involving only relying on sheer brute force of the cards. The two following tips about deck construction can help you becoming a Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Master in no time.

The first golden rule you must always bear in mind is that level 4 or below monsters rule. Without them, you will be in deep trouble. Each of them is a storehouse of power for your other cards. Even if you somehow manage to wipe all the cards off your opponent’s field, it will be no use if you don’t hire some creatures to deliver the finish blow. A common good deck should have at least 12 of these to be secure. However, the number can go up to around 20, depending on your strategy, but anything more than that can mean disaster because you may not be able to endure your opponent’s Magic and Trap cards. Beginners really do like normal monsters with high ATK (Attack) Power, such as Vorse Raider or Gemini elf. They are easy to be summoned and to be ordered to attack. However, as one’s experience increases, one can’t help but notice the existence of effect monsters. Mostly, they’re weak, yet they store some magic which normal monsters can only dream of. For example, who won’t want to use Skilled Dark Magician, whose ATK is 1900 too, coming with the effect of special summoning Dark Magician (ATK 2500) in (potentially) one magical turn? To summarize, you should employ moderate amount of level 4 or below monsters and ponder their effectiveness carefully before you let a card join your team.

The other point begging to be stated here is that you should use tangible combos. I know the characters in the anime looks good when they draw just the right card at the right moment that helps them to perform an important summon (or do something else) to win. That rarely happens in real life, so you should make the chance swell as much as possible. One way to do this is to confining your deck size to exactly 40 cards. Well-balanced 40-card deck should easily be able to beat 80-card deck that contains one-in-the-world cards. There are some cards that contain rewarding effects, but they do require some hard-to-find condition to activate. A good example of this kind of cards is Exodia the Forbidden One. Provided that you have this card and four other “the Forbidden One” cards in your hand, you win the duel. Sounds easy, huh? What if one of them just happens to be at the bottom of your deck? What if your opponent gets to randomly discard a card in your hand, and they simply choose a piece of Exodia? For that reason, people began to construct an Exodia deck, whose focus is only on assembling all five pieces before his opponent beats him down to death. It surely is not an easy task. In conclusion, you should limit your deck size and use “easygoing” cards that don’t ask much of you to use it, at least until you are no longer a beginner.

Just these two regulations should make you bode well in the duels to come. However, you should not stick with these rules for too long. After you’re more experienced, why don’t you try some challenging deck constructing work of art? For example, you may devise a deck with only 7 or 8 monsters and use other Magic or Trap cards to summon them quick and to recover them from the Graveyard when they’re sent there. Also, a choosy deck such as Elemental Hero deck looks really cool when you can activate combo after combo, for Konami did a good job writing each cards’ effect to make it easy enough for anyone to combine them without the feeling that they’re just another set of you-can-use-me-anytime cards. In other words, there is really no limit in making a deck, which is the fact that makes the game so popular.
