Hello, I"m Yami Malik. You may have seen me in the chat room as Yami Malik or Champion Yami Malik or faced me in appentice. I've seen a lot of duelist play against each other and have seen there decks. Everyone has one flaw when it comes to playing Yu-gi-Oh, even me, such as what they put in their deck or how they miss stategies ( me), but I have finally found a way to become a champion duelist in a tournament using enlish cards! Five rants on what players make mistakes on from ten to one.

What in the world are you talkin' about mister? For those who are out of towners in card games, it's the parts of a card (example: atk, def, sub type, etc.). Anyway, this doessn't effect monster cards for now, but it does with magic and traps. How you ask? Well, those pretty symbols like these...

(Equipment Magic) - The weapons of monsters as I like to call them.These cards aren't that much worth it depending on what you deck is based on. If it was beatdown, slap these card in your deck and have a fun time slaughtering monster and your opponents. Fusion decks is different cause mainly your searching your deck for cards you can fuse with to finish off your opponent. In addition, your filling up your magic/trap zone, so it could be a waste of space for more important cards. In conculsion, think before you slash if it's needed or not. Usefulness: depends on your deck...

(Field Magic) - Choose the battlefield of the final showdown. It's like the equipment magic, so you probably know what to expect. One of the better things about these cards compared to the equipment magic is that it doesn't fill up the magic/ trap zone, but power ups both players monsters or effects them. Usefulness: your joking right.

(Perminant Magic) - The magic that never stops, Final Fantasy. I don't know why I said that, I was just thinking of playing Final Fantasy. These magic cards stay in play until destroyed. That means, there effects will be there until the card says so, or your oppnent destroys it. I've noticed something, these types of cards are never perminant, well, most of them. They usually have a limit, like Swords of Revealing Light, which last for three turns. Put, like perminant trap cards, they stay on the field until they're destroyed. Not much comment on these things since I haven't seen a perminant magic yet.

(Counter Magic) - You punch, I counter by tossing you off the ground! Mainly counters against anything your oppnent throws at you. This is one of the must in your deck when your in a deep situtation. This could save the day for you. However, your whole deck shouldn't be filled with these since your going for a fast win or want your stategy to work.

(Perminent Trap) - I'm trapped in here forever! This was introduced in the Yugi starter set. Everyone liked the idea of Dragon Capture Jar, a big word for anti Blue Eyes. Like perminent magic, they stay on the field for a long time. The more useful cards like Robbin Goblin however were introduced to be favorites among us. Be careful they, these are the cards that take up the most space. Uesfullness: Above average, as long as there not all over the place

(Counter Trap) -Move up two steps to go boom. Metal Raiders love these cards. Solemn Judgement, Magic Jammer, and Seven Tools of Bandit are to watch out for. These cards have the same ablities as counter magic cards, but they take up more space on the magic/ trap zone. Usefullness: High, very high.

Hey, mister, I already know how to play Yu-gi-Oh. Do you? If you don't know what he card does or the ruling is, the opponent might use it to their adavantage and cheat. Try to figure out the ruling to the card of your tournament official or "useful" websites, like Pojo.

What's wrong with my deck? You got a problem with it? It could be better. Test it on your friends and see what your deck is doing wrong. No drawing power, no way to counter magic or traps, etc. Ask your friends if they see any problems, or submit it to a deck garage. Every deck has a flaw, mainly, you should only fix the big flaws, like too many magic and traps, that's what I did a lot.

If you face the same opponent over and over agin, you should know how difficult they could be to fight. This may tell you what they could be planning next from their face expressions or the way they act.

What do you mean? Many times, even the most experinced player can miss their chance to gain the win. Reasons why? Hey, stop watching that girl/ guy, or, this isn't nap time, it's a duel! Sometimes, you lose focus over nothing, or just well, your own world.
