@@jcrutak that's only if they don't get enough donations. You new there? Cause they put that up every month.

[@Luchux177]

My tips are these: -Begin the game at a simulator based on the YGOPRO engine, the cards and effects are automatic and so you won't have any problems if you misunderstand the effects when playing against someone else, a "lol, misplay" will fix the problem. -Don't worry about competitive on your first few months and ignore anyone that gives you shit about your deck because it's "too casual". -Related to the above, ignore the link rules for the first few weeks too and play on the pendulum rules to grow accustomed to the game without restrictions.

My tip: Bring the minimum. A deck box with your one deck inside, and a mat. Wait to bring trades and other cards or multiple decks until you find a group of friends who you trust, I gurentee you will get your things stolen otherwise

I'm inspired to play Yu-Gi-Oh again I haven't played since when the cards first came out thank you for making this video

[@har_75]

Some years ago, I went for 2 weeks in a vacation village near the sea. Every time I was going to the beach I always spotted some kids playing yu gi oh on some tables near the beach's restaurant. One day I ordered something to eat at the restaurant/bar and set in a table near them to hear some duels. They were 5 but one of them was something like 4 years older than the others and was making fun of them calling them noobs and claiming to be the best in the region. He won every match with his monarch deck because the other kids built some decks taking inspiration from the anime. The next day I appeared out of nowhere and challenged him, I did all my best to appear like a scrub. I was acting like in the anime, i brought a paper mat and I removed my sleeves. Laughing he accepted my challenge... I won 4 games in a row. Making some excuses he left and I helped the others understand the game better and made them realize their errors. We need to improve the yugioh community because this game is becoming less beginner friendly as time goes on. (Sorry for eventual errors I'm not English)

[@c17bykenshi67]

Everything after this isn’t going to answer your question so i‘ll just out my answer right up here: online stores, I know people who built entire decks with a 10$ budget from eBay, there are many other places to get single cards too, so you can build your own deck or if you want to just buy a whole deck from the internet Kinda same, I have a store which sells one single type of booster packs (battle pack 3 monster league) and I bought their last 7 packs lol. A couple minutes ago, when he said video game stores in his video I got reminded of that one store which sells video games and I do think that they probably sell yugioh stuff too although I won’t be checking it out this week or maybe not even next week cause school starts tomorrow

good tips ... being a new player to the game but around card shops for a while .. about the only other things i could say ... if you are trading with someone be clear how you are trading ... just casually ... or value ... and if value is said .. don't be surprised if the other person points out the condition of the card that was just tossed in a box with others over one from a binder.. :) and second thing ... a little more welcome to newer players .. we are obvious .. playing with older cards ... stopping every moment to read a card to try to figure out what it does ... and yes, we ask a lot of questions ... most everyone at my LGS is friendly about me being new to the game .. some slow down and explain stuff .. others just start talking to a different person instead.... we all gotta learn someplace!

Dealing with players, rulings, and having to call judges is why I prefer YGO Pro.

So since I just wanna playtest/play for fun and click my way through it's perfect.

I think it’s important to mention that along with setting a budget you have to know what that budget means. See how much it’s going to cost you to build several decks or just the one you’re interested in before purchasing cards.

ive heard about the first website alot but never knew exactly what to look for, acronyms are insane in this game. so thanks for the link in the description.

YGOPro is great for new players learning rulings and new card effects. When playing new decks against decks I have I have never heard of it's often hard to keep track of what card can do what when and YGOPro helps keeps track of those things for you while you focus on just playing the game. When you feel confident in your knowledge playing ranked on Duelingbook is a great way to test yourself on how will you've mastered your cards and other popular strategies being played by others.

either always have your bag with you or when with trusted friends always have atleast one friend watching everyone's bag if you need to go to the rest room, pick up the food you all ordered, or going to the counter to pick something up. also my second advice, don't pick up a box if you are looking for specific cards for a deck by that point just invest in singles. If you want multiple things besides a specific deck from the box THEN go for it

[@katherynedarrah4245]

My tip: If your deck box can accomodate it (what are you doing playing with a box that can't!?) put your side deck in your box behind the ED. The ED should be in different sleeves, which will help you not do what I do on a daily basis: almost shuffle it into your deck.

2x more tips from a newbie like I is some venues dont allow you to being food in if they have a cafe.or tuck shop indoors so bring another $5 encase or could always leave and eat what you brought outside. Second tip is type in when trading check price values of each card, being a new guy after opening packs at my locals I found it weird to see 5 guys standing around me when I'm opening.packs, it was intimidating and I almost lost a few to poor trades. I was smart to think of ebay and found a few of mine were worth $100-$20-$30 and I was getting return just trash. Keep hold of your stuff and perhaps do trades with people but 1x at a time and away from the crowds. One more thing, check ebay on everything monster reborn is common but it goes for om.ebay $2.50 so if you got 8 laying about you could trade for some stuff in the other guys folder

[@tjbernahl3596]

Pro tip, in order to be competitive...at the very least...you need to drop at least 500 bucks. Been playing since star deck yugi and kaiba. This isn't just for a deck. You need the deckbox and materials like a mat and sleeves but also a binder. This is so you can at least have competitive trades so that you you have more interactions with players, and build up the collection. It is really all about business skills to build it. You will find someone who will have a lower value to a card you want. Don't rip a new player/unkowing off who magically pulls ash secret and be like, oh it's worth 10 bucks...negotiate fairly, because even though you find a good deal from a player, be fair, because in the end, those people will network with other players, and you do not want to be the asshole who rips off people, then, you'll just be in limbo. Edit: also don't be an elitist...we get it you topped a ycs/regionals like 5years ago, but it doesn't mean you should be a dick and treat players who may have a lesser skill level than you like garbage. People want to have fun, and yes...not everyone wants to win that YCS or Regional. Remember it is a game, and you were there once before in their shoes. Help them grow and give them tips to continue their growth. And lastly if you play top tier/tier zero at locals and you won, and start being a dick then you're just trash anyways because you needed to be the douche to drop three thunders, 2 saryuja, a borreload, have 3 ash in hand, and 8 negates on board just to say you're a pro player. Don't be that guy.

[@StarboyXL9]

"pro player" seems more and more like an oxymoron in Yugioh these days as Konami continues to milk the cash cow the meta has become. You ever seen a professional match of Starcraft 2? Those guys are real professional players of a game. It takes less than 1% skill to play modern meta in Yugioh, the entire concept of archetypes pretty much proves this. A player of any game with actual skill will win consistently no matter what quality of "tools" they are given, meanwhile in Yugioh players literally just do a bunch of math to calculate optimum ratios of cards in deck building and then figuratively roll the dice when they draw their first hand. Doing math is not a marker of skill.

nice video, the only problem in Las , or in my country, Chile, the price of the card and the decks are really different, in example, a normal deck, of 7 dolars, it cost 4.576 Pesos, but they sell the deck not for that price, they sell it for 20 Dolars, it's 13.000 pesos Chilenos. soo, it's hard to get that things without using the money that you save for more important things.

Really solid video, man. I'ma send this to my friends who just got jumped in.

Welcome to the #Squad

[@7B7E7N7]

I’m a noob and I’ve been playing some legacy of the duelist on the switch and it’s helped me learn and it’s fun.

[@totallynotben5951]

Thanks so much Alec, I was trying to find out a way that I could get more competitive on Yu-Gi-Oh!

[@ישראלעטיה-צ1פ]

When you build you dack you need to pay attention to 1. Alot of lvl 4 monster 2. The cards in the dack support to each other. 3 . If you starter the best move is to buy a starter dack and lern the basick rule . After that you can buy a struchre dack After that you can build alone you are dack ( becouse to build you ultimite dack you need to knoo what the Ingredients for a dack ) You only need to pay samthing like 16$ not in a row so is not expansive. Good luck i op i help you.

I'm just kinda starting out myself! I've watched the anime but I haven't really played the game. I've been trying to make a deck so far! You know, in case Kaiba wants to deul!

[@darthbooks2005]

I mainly play with my friends at lunch. Once we get good enough we may try local tournaments.

[@diamondsandgold1993]

I had a crazy deck when I was a kid that I built over like 5 years and ended up giving them to my younger cousin. Now I'm trying to get back into it, even if I don't know anyone to duel. I spent about $150 on cards and I have a pretty competitive deck. I really don't see how anyone could spend $500 or 1k on cards lol.

[@reececamptenmyers6063]

I will never play links. I think yugioh should have stopped at xyz. Or at least slowed it down.

[@patirck024]

Reece Campten Myers made the game better but it's personal preferences

[@dpadilla756]

I said the same thing when I got back in to Yu-Gi-Oh but now I'm running Knightmares and borrels 😅

[@nevenaninkoviclazniprofil3548]

I ll never play xyz I ll never play pendulum ( that 1 i actually did) I ll never play link Well guess what? I am playing link n exis

[@dpadilla756]

@@nevenaninkoviclazniprofil3548 xyz are a staple if you're running any kinda lvl 2,3,4 deck

Found the True Draco player.

[@dragonrockstars3862]

Not bad of a video TeamAPS, I would recommend maybe trying to do a band list video if you guys can. This would be very helpful for most of us in this community.

[@alecfields1153]

It's coming! 😎

[@dragonrockstars3862]

Thanks!!!

[@coolbrotherf127]

The main tip here is don't buy tier 0 OP decks for like $700 just to play them at your locals a few times before the deck gets hit on the ban list. Stick to consistent decks that have a very low chance of being affected by the ban list.

[@alastor2485]

Put different sleeves on your extra deck and your main deck.

[@_RydenXx]

YuGiOh isn’t the only game we ALL play in the dark in our rooms🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😉😉😉😉🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ultraflame3917]

When I was like 7 since I didn’t have two level 7 monsters whenever I wanted to summon Ebon Illusion Magician I would only use one monster and everyone was cool with it.

[@caliboygaming3872]

this is crazy i thought people stoped thank you so much

[@LackadaisicalWizard]

All the card games are more popular now than before

[@PatternLand]

You thought people stopped? Lmao they have videos of tournaments and they have cards in supermarkets and game stores

[@yudipitre5720]

I am a beginner and I am 67 . Crazy I know. I am looking for Scared Beast mat.

[@rawr2295]

I havent played yugioh yet but I'll try it if I have myself a deck

[@pygment5740]

Thanks you! As a new player, I'm really gratefull!

[@SyntheticJordan]

Was very impressed by the quality of this video, keep up the great work!

[@jasonstricklin2602]

Very helpful video. Thanks for the tips. Not really a new player also, don't know anyone that is. I own 2 playmats, And all my decks are seleved. however as far as storage goes: I don't really like the whole individual deck box thing. My decks are bound together with rubber bands but, I put them on in a way to create even pressure so my cards don't get bent up. I actually just have more fun building decks and play testing them and dueling friends with the new decks I create Most recent builds are odd-eyes,and zombies. Next build is quliphorts then salamangreat minus the ashes I need those for my main deck I play with

[@maedaplays1452]

jason stricklin ashes are in the structure deck

Bro, I legit was in the EXACT same situation of what you said about Shaddolls. Although I saw the deck as unfair at first I then learned it was one of the fairest decks of all time and then began to love it and get the cards since they started to be reasonably priced. To this day I still don't understand why they hit Shaddolls so bad and really even AT ALL back then when they did other than Konami got greedy and saw that budget players were winning games and wanted to make more money rather than have a healthy and happy community.
