Tutorial Part One: The Cards

For the rest of this week, I will be using this blog to teach you in three steps what Yu-Gi-Oh is and how to play it. I will be covering the different cards, how to get set up with the perfect deck, and how to play a game. These lessons will be spaced out throughout the week with one school day in between each posting. This will give you a chance to retain the knowledge that I will write. So without further ado, your first lesson starts now.

THE CARDS

There are three main types of cards in Yu-Gi-Oh. Spell cards, Trap cards, and Monster cards. I will split this entry into three seperate sections to explain about each one.

Spells

Spell cards are rapid fire spells. They can be played almost as soon as you want to, with exceptions. Spell cards only last one turn though, unless the card says otherwise. Unlike trap cards, which we will reach later, spell cards can be played from your hand. There are many types of spells. This is what a spell looks like.


Spells should take up about a fourth of your deck.

Traps

Traps are slower, but more powerful than spells. You have to wait one turn after you play them on the field to be able to activate them. Traps aren't one turn long, but they aren't permanent either. Some traps last only one turn, and some keep going until they are destroyed. This is what a trap looks like.


Trap cards should make up one fourth of your deck.

Monsters

Monster cards are the game winning cards. You can win a game without using any monsters, but it would be extremely difficult. Monsters can only be played one per turn, but they stay out longer than traps our spells, if they are strong enough. monsters are the cards that attack your opponent, destroying their life points and defending you against your opponent's monsters. Here is what a monster looks like.


Monster cards should be half of your deck.
