Subject: 5 easy deckconstruction tips - MasterOtacon


1. deck themes - you need to have a deck theme!  that way, you can keep 
certain equipment magic cards in ceck.  some themes range from Fiends to 
Beasts, or maybe DARK to EARTH, or even only effect monsters. once you've 
thought of a theme, you're ready to move on to the next step.

2. deck types - once you've thought of a theme, you'd wanna put it to good 
use, that's the point of a deck type, to combine certain monsters with magic 
and trap cards.  
ex. Direct Damage decks focus on cards like Hane- Hane (to remove a monster 
from the field, to give a better chance of lp damage), Ookazi, and Tremendous 
Fire :)

3. selecting the right cards - if you've chosen a deck theme and a deck type, 
you'll ned the right cards to back it up.  lets say you've chosen a DARK 
deck, you'll want to put in Summoned Skull, Dark Magician, or a Tri- Horned 
Dragon - those are all really good DARK cards.  but if you choose an EARTH 
deck, you'll need a Gaia, Judgeman, and Garnecia

4. strategies and combos - at this point, you'll be needing to think of good 
maneuvers to tip the duel in your favor when you're in a tight spot - ex. if 
you have a DD deck, one combo you might use is to keep a strong, level 4 
monster (such as Dark Elf) in reserve, and a Change of Heart, then make sure 
your opponent only has one monster on the field, then use your strong monster 
and play Change of Heart, after that, all you need to do is atk his lp 
directly

5. test - when you're done with all of the above, test out your deck on a 
friend or somebody you know, then see how you do.
