Q&A for How to Construct a Yu Gi Oh! Deck

Add the Odd-Eyes Dragon cards. They go well with the Pendulum Magician and Performapal cards.

Nobody can ace a deck. If you've won a lot of duels with it, then it could be a good deck.

Not if you don't want to. It can be more fun to play without rules or develop your own agreed upon rules among your friends.

Get the 6 Monarchs and their Mega Monarch Forms and Vassals. Then, start adding Monarch Spell/Trap cards. Make sure you do not have an extra deck while playing Monarchs, or be able to play it very quickly. Some good cards to run with Monarchs are Rainbow Kuriboh, Battle Fader, and Mathematician.

You can use the rank-up magic cards to rank up your utopia and get some ZW cards. They will help your utopia. You should also get some xyz spells and traps like reverse release burst.

You should have 7-15 spell cards per deck, depending on the archetype. Your extra deck can contain 15 cards.

Gather spellcasters, dragons, and spells and traps to go with them.

I suggest the cards "A. Forces," "Buster Blader" and a variety of spells that get out high power cards like "Ancient Rules" or the pendulum cards Dragonpulse and Dragonpit magician.

No, they go in the extra deck, which is at the bottom of the field spell zone.

Pick about 12-18 warrior (and another type if you want) monsters and evenly spread some trap and spell cards. It helps if you form a strategy towards it.

It depends on how many monsters and traps you have, but between 7 and 15 would probably be preferable. Just try and keep your deck as close to 40 cards as possible to avoid the chance of drawing cards you can't use in time.

Yes, you can, as long as you have a translation of those cards. For example, if you use a German card, you must have the English translation with you for your opponent to read.

If it says Unlimited, three. If it's Semi-Limited, two. If it's Limited, one. If it's Forbidden, zero. You may override this rule if you agree with your dueling partner though.

You can use the card "Mind Drain." It is a Continuous Trap that prevents players from using cards that activate from the hand, thus preventing your opponents from activating them. (Just make sure you don't use cards that activate their effects from your hand too.) Alternatively, a Counter Trap "Debunk" can be used.

Just collect cards that will back up your cards. For example; dragons like the Odd eyes Pendulum dragon and lots of powerful spell and trap cards.

Performerpal, Pendulum and Odd Eyes. You should add machine monsters with about 40-50 monsters and lots of spells.

I'd recommend adding Pendulum Scales, lots of traps, a few MST, and really strong monsters. In the extra deck, some XYZ and fusion monsters, and make sure to add Rune Eyes Pendulum Dragon.

Make sure that you have 1 - 4 cards for using a Kaiba deck, and make sure you have good strategies.

Anything pendulum or machine is great for tournaments, as machines are immune to magic attacks.

Yes, depending on what other cards you have in your deck that can control them. You can have more than three level 7+ cards, two or less is just recommended.

Buy them online or trade with your friends. Or you could wait for the next mega tin to come out and see if it includes Union monsters.

Yes, this is often done. For example, Kashtira and Tearlaments are commonly mixed together.

This depends what kind of deck you have. Copycats ATK/DEF is only changed when summoned, while Omni dragon brotaur don't have the same ability of gaining ATK/DEF. If most of the monsters in your deck are the same type and attribute, I would recommend Omni dragon.

This depends on how many and which cards you have. You will need at least 40 cards to build a small deck, but since all cards don't work together, you should have a few more. About one to two thirds of the deck should be monsters, and the rest should be spells and/or traps.

Some spells that works good with galaxy eyes decks are Dark ruler no more, Small world, Reinforcement of the army and Called by the grave.

Field spells go in the main deck. When activated or set, they are put in the field spell zone above your extra deck.

Monster cards are regular cards with a yellow or brown background. These cards have an ATK and DEF and are used to beat your opponents monsters and get your opponents lifepoints down to 0. Each player starts with 8000 lifepoints. The stars in the top right corner shows the level of the monster. If it is 4 or lower, you can play the card from your hand without tributing any card. If ti is level 5-7, you have to tribute one card from the field. The tibuted card is put in the graveyard. if it is level 8 or higher you have to tribute two cards. If the card has a yellow background, it is a normal monster. If it has a brown background, it is an effect monster.

A card like wicked breaking flamberge baou is a good card to raise its attack power to strengthen it.

Try to find any cards that work with each other. I use a weak monster most of the time but I usually add spells and trap cards to make it more powerful.wicked-breaking flamberge - baou is a good card to boost weak monsters attack.

You can find something that you like and figure out an archetype for it, build a generic rank 4 deck (usually quite cheap), or you can find something in the current metagame and build a similar deck.
