Tutorial Part Two: Getting Set Up

In this second Tutorial, I will teach you how to get a good deck and what to look for in a good deck, so that you can build your own decks.

Selecting a Deck

At your local Wal*Mart, you should be able to find the latest and greatest decks and packs of cards. But before buying anything, you should decide what type of card player you are. Do you like to hold down the fort with defensive monsters and retaliate with spells and traps? Maybe you don't care about defense and want to go all out and blast your opponent into the sky? How about a well balanced deck, ready for all occasions? Take your time deciding. You can't reuse money once you have already used it to buy something. Choose wisely, because your first deck is special.

What to Look for in a Deck

There are several things that you should look for in a deck. There should be an even amount of traps, spells, and monsters, using the formula of 1 part spell, 1 part trap, and 2 parts monsters. with the monsters, make sure you have more weak monsters than strong ones. You need weak monsters so that you can sacrifice them to bring in the big boys. If you have a ton of strong monsters but no weak ones to sacrifice, you won't be able to summon those big monsters. keep your monsters true to your character. That way, you will be able to maneuver with your deck comfortably, and probably win more games than if you were playing with a deck that makes you feel uncomfortable.

If you listen to this advice, you will be fighting like a pro in no time.
