What NOT to do in Yu-Gi-Oh!

[@insaner2play]

My advice: Makes sure you completely check the ban list and when it's in effect. Anti-advice: After winning, yell "Battle City rules!" and take their prized card.

[@CorruptNeo]

[@JiraiyaSama86]

Never limit your style. When you can, learn to play as many different types of decks and styles as you can. Keeps the game fresh.

[@nkyfong]

I'll list what I want to play in the future. Ancient Gears, Fortune ladies, Red Eyes and maybe a Utopia OTK.

[@heavy5013]

There's an issue with that. Most decks don't interest me. I only play what I like or what catches my eye. Currently Blue Eyes, Frightfurs, Heraldic Beasts, and Malefics.

[@manlyminotaur99gaming8]

I don’t have typical deck styles, like blue eyes or fright furs I have weird decks with names: Infinite defense Xyz deck (literally just meant to bring out my best xyz monsters) synchro deck (xyz deck but synchros) Spellcasters (fusion monsters plus a couple xyz for dark magician) And 3 ‘normal’ ones D/D Cyber dragon And infinite draw (exodia ftk)

[@weedconesuer]

I wouldnt recommend learning to play as many styles as possible, to most people it can be a detriment. Different decks are made for different play styles fit for specific people. Telling people to learn as much as possible in a game with thousands of cards limits their time spent learning to play a deck that actually suits them well just because they feel like they need to practice a deck they dont feel comfortable playing

[@bread4360]

Shark deck go brrrrr

[@ShineKami666]

Oh yeah, even more tips: 1. New players are the core of the game. Without them the game will die. So be friendly to new players. Don't rip them off in trade deals. If you see somebody being rude to them or ripping them off, call them out on that shit. 2. People look for the most obscure cards. Fill up that binder. Just make sure to put the best/good cards in the front. For example, I once traded a (at the time) useless nordic core against a synchro I needed. Something I thought people wouldn't want. 3. Vendors aren't the root of all evil. They only pay like 50% of the market price, but they save you a lot of headache that gets involved with selling singles online. Have a card laying around that you will likely NEVER use? Sell it, and get some new cards or something.

Arrow reference

[@junglezone7323]

1. READ YOUR CARDS. The amount of times I went to an event and played against an opponent who picked up their deck the day before and have no idea on what their cards do is just ridiculous. 2. Don't be afraid to ask to read for your opponent's cards. Most players are nice and are willing to provide you the card so you can read it. And it never hurts to read it even if you are a little unsure about how it works.

[@ShineKami666]

As a continuation of 2: don't be afraid to ask for translations either. If they didn't bring any with them, call a judge.

[@Dd5yr5g]

@Beyblade Moses no, if that card is part of public knowledge (ex. he searched for it and its in his hand) then you can ask to read it

[@ShadWalken]

HandlessYGO another continuation, ask to read your opponent’s cards, DON’T just pick them up without asking, especially now if your locals are still running. At my locals I have had two fairly unpleasant opponents who do this constantly, among other things that make me consider quitting again

[@goosehonk3658]

Plus, tip 2 helps you get the edge on someone who didn't follow tip 1. You can often find a restriction on an effect or something their card text doesn't cover that you can use to your advantage.

[@NickDyers]

its ygo community we talked about. Most dont read cards. More literate people play Magic instead.

[@ShineKami666]

Also, here is a random tip, especially for those that have many decks: Buy a lot of sleeves of the same brand and color, like 500, and put all your decks in the same sleeves. Makes it really fast and easy to switch cards between decks. However, keep in mind, to always buy a new set of sleeves the day of a big tourney (regionals/nationals/ycs). And don't go for too light colored sleeves. They get dirty faster.

[@ShineKami666]

@@PhartingFeeting Less chance of a small bit of dirt being visible on it or something. If you have bright yellow sleeves, something like that becomes instantly visible too. Also scratches tend to be more visible on em. From experience atleast

Yes Trell!! I've had the "never scoop" philosophy forever!! ✊✊✊ K update for y'all in the comments section: I scooped against a Monarch player game 1 after he went first and summoned Vanity's Fiend. I was playing Synchrons. The reason I did this is because I didn't want him to know what I was playing. I played my turn by setting a monster and a backrow and passing. I did this to make sure I was allowing the possibility that he for some reason would tribute his Vanity's Friend for something else to continue his plays (which would obviously be a poor decision on his part). After realizing he was just gonna sit on that monster for the duration of the game, I said "End of Main Phase? Game 2." I won the match, and him not knowing what to side against me certainly helped. I'm sharing because a couple people in the comments section brought up this idea to me, and I wanted to show that it did in fact work for me, and that *sometimes* it is fine to forfeit a game

If there is like a 5% chance your opponent incorrectly manages their resources, or if you happen to win a small interaction or something like that, it is always best to just see if that will happen. If you have time, why not utilize it??

Here's some advice. Ask people when they started playing. I'm talking more when playing casually, if a person looks like their new to the game maybe slow down a little, don't fully combo, maybe use a deck that doesn't use a lot of extra deck summoning. Basically ease the new players in here.

[@vonwolfe1310]

I've been living off of singles, so I wouldn't know where else to go aside from structure decks. Also, I understand one can attempt to sell what they don't need from sets, packs, and the like online at a fair profit of minimum $1 (depending) and whatever matches the TCG pricing, but I don't have access to doing that conveniently and you aren't going to be guaranteed towards selling them all within even the same two weeks. Breaking away from that tangent, I do get cheap packs sometimes for fun and see what I get.

[@MrFlogodo]

An advice to experienced player when their are asked for advice about a decklist by a newcomer / returning player : Don't start by saying that every cards they play are trash. Not every one play on the same level, not every one is going for events and tournaments. Looking through a deck and saying to someone that they are playing garbage, need to buy expensive staples / meta-cards if they hope to be good really doesn't help. Sure you can tell them about combos, cool new cards that have synergies with what they play, but keep in mind that they may not have the same speed of learning, or amount of money as you. And they may not play for the competition, just for fun. If you want to play a deck because it's your favorite from the anime, because you just like the artworks, like the gimmick or because it just an easy deck to understand and play : go ahead. Sure you may not be at the same level than other players, but you don't have to play their way to have fun. Beside, a lot of players like to discover and play against new deck. You can be the new Flower Cardian Master. When I started to play again, and mostly learning the game again, I bought a few packs and sat at my locals. I build a quick deck just to try it out and played against a "veteran" player. I swear that I almost quitted after having him looks through my deck and saying that it was trash and that I should not play those cards (the only one that I had at this point and from a deck clearly made a few minutes earlier). Last advice to non english players (but can apply to every experienced player) that want to explain the rules to newcomers : Don't use all the technical terms right away, or without explaining what it mean in your own language. Stick to the rule book at first (And keep pendulums on the side for a moment, they are fun, but confusing for new players who already have a hard time understanding the differents type of cards).

[@williamkim9861]

I agree with what you said about calling their cards trash. What I did with my friend was tell him some good cards that can work with those cards. Except when he plays a fusion spell and has no fusion monster in his extra deck. In that situation I would ask him what he was hoping to summon and if nothing... why is this in your deck then?

how am I this early this is the earliest I’ve ever been for a video

[@allancruz1210]

i remember this one time when i was like 11, i went to my first card shop and I liked Neos at the time. I found an Air Neos that the shop was selling, and so i bought it. Sadly seconds later, this guy wanted to trade me the card for 2 crappy crystal beast cards and convinced me that they were worth, and since I was young I traded it thinking that it was fine. Till this day, I still regret the trade.

[@phillipavalos4524]

Getting back into the game can be kind of intimidating, but I'm starting over back from the beginning with my sons and we are going to learn this together. We even bought Yu-Gi-Oh legacy of the duleist link evolution to help out! Thanks for the tips.

[@EMPCraft]

This Video is very wholesome and actually makes me wanna pick up my old Satellar-Deck and look for locals (in Germany they are happening i think).

[@neanight222]

As a beginner, I really love these advice videos. Your tips are kind, considerate, motivating and inspiring, so thanks for sharing this! 🙌

[@JujutsuLupin]

Unpopular opinion: when I got into yugioh, pendulums were the easiest thing in yugioh to understand. Not just as a summon but as a general mechanic in the game it was as easy to understand as fusions. Although personally I got lucky that I was able to understand yugioh in general(I still have some stuff to learn though in terms of interactions).

[@k0ngbuster]

I'm right there with ya, Trell, I have won several dozen duels in Duel Links just for not quitting, and sticking with no duels no matter how bleak things looked. Your opponent can always miss-play, you can always draw that key card that you need, keep a focused mindset, and then you're good to go. With Six Samurais, there is always a chance.

[@nahlataha1744]

1:11. Someone just walked in drinking a smoothie, noticed the video then awkwardly walked backwardly out. Real Smooth.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@emabor1]

I know this isn't related to the video but I know a way that konami can get new/Young people into yugioh. They could host junior tournaments for 13s and under with special cards up for grabs. They could also do duel schools or something like that people can learn combos, deck building etc. Just my silly brain wanting to look forward to something that I'd look forward to after covid

[@cameronrobertson9800]

The simulator one is so true. I was so used to the simulators telling me when I could use a set card or a gy effect that when I first started playing the physical game I kept forgetting to check if I could use something and it lost me so many games

[@CorruptNeo]

Yeah

[@Jizukiru]

Guess you weren't using Duelingbook

[@yubeluchiha]

Ask everyone in team aps this...what if Yu-Gi-Oh! didn’t have a banlist but all cards got hit to 1 copy a deck & extra and side decks would you play your favorite decks? And would the tournament be more fun for you? Will everyone play different decks and would the game be equal?

[@M1gUeL98kbt]

Kaiba is triggered.

[@yubeluchiha]

Miguel CV lol you right forgot about them card that need 3 copy’s looolololol

[@RNGHater]

6:00 I have to disagree a little bit. It is true that most decks in OCG land can fix some problems because Maxx C is at 3 there. But if the archetype seemed good enough to work out even w/o Maxx C (or kaiser colosseum in some cases) then I might be a bit hyped or rather curious about how it will perform and adapt in the TCG.

[@dr.bendover6154]

I love your skits!!! (Make more please)

[@seabastian7996]

hahaha that casual back out of the frame when he noticed they where shooting lmao. sip sip " oh shi-" *sips while slowly walking backwards*

[@TheKrismage2000]

I’m a MtG player but you guys are fun, you have earned a subscriber.😉

[@assilhaddad5549]

I honestly love this video , it just feels genuine.

[@Mage_Nichlas_]

Right off the bat, I 100% agree with Trell. While I might not always be able to comeback, I usually always sticks it out until my Life Points hit 0.

[@shu7577]

Solid video ; Great takes, and great advice. Funny how the title is negative but the video so positive haha

[@SaigaRunner]

I played yugioh as a kid, but I have no interest in playing now. I found this channel through tolarian community college and I'm addicted to your personalities and passion for the game. As a magic player I get it. Keep the videos coming!

[@codyburgess7509]

Chris's interview at the beginning where the guy walks in the background of the shot. Then slowly backing out once he realizes it's a shot killed me😂😂😂

[@CorruptNeo]

Lol

[@Late20sSkateboarder]

Can you guys do a master rules video?? On like all of the iterations? I’m an old player (2002-2006ish) and have gotten back into it over quarantine. I feel like I have a good grasp on most things other than pendulums (even links finally!) but there’s a bunch of other rules that I seem to be foggy on, or the game mechanics in certain situations. Thanks for all the great content!!!

[@DoaMastique]

I remember on Dueling Network when I lost a duel, i became friends with the person and they gave me useful tips on how to better my decks. Some of the best decks that I alone could never of done if it werent for listening to other players advice lol. I miss those guys

[@leeboyles4480]

Here's my tip, don't be afraid to ask questions, ask to read a card that was just played, or even call a judge over. Now this goes both ways as don't ask too many questions and call the judge all the time. If you're at a tournament or even playing casually, if you don't understand a card or what just happened in the game ask them to explain it or if they did something that doesn't seem right call a judge. If you don't understand what's going on you won't be able to counter things and just have less fun. For the most part the yugioh community is welcoming and helpful so don't be scared to ask when you don't understand

[@Late20sSkateboarder]

1:17 😂 lmao yooo that back out in the background

[@ninjaboyjames]

The greatest yugioh tip: make shore you have fun while playing it's a game made for you to enjoy. To each their own how they enjoy the game so long as you aren't hurting anyone (I am looking at you mine burn)

[@RDMANGLEYT]

Here's an tip i give to new players and old players a like, learn to evaluate the card given the cards typing. Depending its a monster, trap, ect. And what the card gives you in the overall package of the card its self. Check for down sides in effects, level to atk and def ratio, the effect given for the monster's level, or whatever

[@dragondice9201]

I got to say it’s videos like this is why I subscribe and watch your videos only help newcomers but it’s good people like you thatAre experienced and know a lot about this game to say great things about this game don’t ever stop keep it up keep going because man you guys know it’s going on you know what you’re talking aboutSomebody out there has got to see it and you guys do you guys came together and create a beautiful trail don’t stop keep going 👍

[@besouleater101]

Hey, I really appreciated this video. Especially at the end saying that it was ok to take a break and come back to the game later especially if its a community reason. I left yugioh just before Pendulum monsters released because I was at a locals and saw all the scumbag treatment and stealing and ripping people off. I didn't like it and I needed to step back. I'm now thinking of getting back in to it.

[@Oddthority]

'Wash yo ass' is a more poetic and beautiful phrase than 'Cellar door' could ever hope to be

[@Shade_Durza]

lol seeing the cards on the desk in the background is so me as I look at the stacks of cards on my desk

[@stephentibbens9844]

I got some advice but I think it might be the same as in the video so here goes. Don"t be afraid to ask for help with your deck, example I built my generaider boss but I kept bricking with every hand. So I asked a friend for help, he & I bounced some ideas back & forth then bingo my deck's much better now.

[@azrael4401]

Choose a deck you really like and you really want to play, may it be the mechanic, the strats or just the artworks, stick with it for a while. It’s not important if it’s a highly competitive or just a casual list, the thing is that it will be a lot easier for you to learn the game if you play a deck you enjoy and you have fun with. Then go from there

[@Tomy_Lightning]

My advice is if you lose with your deck try to see why did you lose don't get rid of it upgrade it and look forward for different situations with your side deck and create different decks so you can play friend match without being worried that you are exposing your strategy for your duels

[@geo7803]

If you're having issues with certain matchups try thinking outside the box. A diffeent technique or forgotten card can make a world of difference.

[@minicrewmate941]

The dark attribute shirt looks epic

[@kymichaellacro6467]

I really like there advices about to YGO players like me but sadly I'm a ocg player but this guy's is absolutely right from what they say about YGO card game.It's makes you open to other people that you encounter and all can you see a positive side about this card game and you can see a new friends on this game that can help you up..It's really a big help to other YGO players like me.#Thanks Team APS..

[@treygorden9781]

1. Don't lose a duel because you didn't take everything into account. Read the cards on the field, look at both your and your opponent's GY's, remember knowledge that is pertinent to the current duel. Every little piece of knowledge is valuable. Having game on board or losing the duel can all come down to what you know about the strategy and what has already been played. 2. Don't be stubborn and not play meta. You may not like a certain strategy but learning the strategy helps for you to learn how to beat the strategy. Just because a deck can do a 1 card +11 infinite negate board doesn't mean that there's some sort of hitch that you can exploit. This also relates to the first tip because this knowledge could be the difference between you topping an event or you losing on the bubble. 3. Don't think that a loss is all because the opponent luck sacked you. That happens sometimes but it's better to try and realize how did it come down to the heart of the cards to take you down. Could you have ended the game sooner? Could you not put game on board? Learning this can help you become a better player and learn the deck you're playing even better. 4. Don't be afraid to look at a Yugitibers or someone else's deck profile of the deck you're playing for advice and techs. That information is there for a reason. You never know when a spicy tech can come in clutch for you.

[@NBDG713]

DONT BE THAT GUY WHOS STEALING PEOPLE CARDS MANN GOT A DECK STOLEN FROM ME WITH A MRD 1st ED SUMMONED SKULL HAVEN’T BEEN TO ANOTHER YCS SINCE

[@vonkjbgames9739]

Wow damn I’m sorry that happened.

[@kzx1826]

This video was helpful, I might recommend it to people who might comeback into yugioh

[@martijnverhoeven9498]

I started playing recently again and I realize a lot of players who didn't take a break get kinda dumbstruck when I play some cards that are in their eyes not really competitive, like Nordic decks, but my advice to other newcomers//return players is, just play your game, play the cards that best suit you, maybe you can try to combine some cards that you like and wouldn't match up at all at first sight

[@DualSwordBesken]

Oof, that don't stay up advice from Larry hit hard. Once went to a Magic GP (2400 person tournament) after going to sleep between 2-3 AM and getting up at like 6 AM just to drive about two hours for upwards of 9 rounds of games. Did not go well and felt like death for a lot of it.

[@justincorrell8406]

Don’t forget to have fun. There are plenty of times in many different gaming tournaments when people forget the reason they started playing. To have fun

[@evildead8434]

Lmao alex all in the background when Chris was talking good one 😂 he was like oh shhh (slowly backs away)
