Team APS I have a pretty good blue eyes deck, but I don't have anyone to play with me and most of the card shops around my area are pretty far from where I live. Do you have any advice of how to practice since I don't have anyone to practice with?

I have this broken combo with a machine deck I have where I summon machina solder special summon machina sniper then wait a turn to summon machina defender activate his flip affect summon commander something then summon machina force and activate limiter removal
Bruh having practice partners / teams are so important at being good in any game and the best part about it is the experience you gain will last with you forever. Great video by the way.
Step 0 (my step): Find a deck with your favorite design and play style. Step 1: Find your local... locals. Then, try to win with your favorite deck! I'm gonna need to drive for a while, but I'll find a way. Step 2: Find your friend (if any) that plays YuGiOh and be your Judai with Shou. Until you are Judai, keep practicing. Time to convince friends to play YuGiOh. Step 3: Record EVERYTHING! Especially matches you lose in. Or decks you want to counter. I record every match I lose with D-HEROes. Step 4: Never give up! I will not secede from a bad hand! If Genex can get Trishula with only Recycled and Machine Dup in the hand, you can do something that unbelievable! Step 5: Play against everything! I'll iron out every kink I see from every play.
Dragon's Beard Gamer Oh to be young and foolish enough to think anything other than buying the current tier 0 solitaire deck of fuck off everything that has come before it will work ah I miss those days
A major tip that people seem to forget; Read your cards and know their rulings. I've been on both sides of this, and it's awful when someone is told they can't do something after giving away potentially critical hand and deck information. You need to read your cards before you play with them. Just read your deck one by one. It actually helps you recognize combo potential as well as avoid potential misplays and judge calls.
Demonis AOH I am still surprised some people don't know this,but people that don't even know how their own deck works probably didn't even practice with it against other decks they may encounter.
-Incorporate engines into You deck(e.g. Brilliant Fusion) -Raise the ceiling of your deck through tech choices. -Don't be afraid to play meta, sometimes it's actually skilful -- Nekroz :-) -Play more copies of a card you want to see more (3x instant fusion) -Put effort into making an appropriate side deck that counters today's meta (e.g. Lancea, D Barrier, Denko)
Ya I don't know what way to go with zombies , I already have a good deck (zombie world) but I don't know should I keep combo cards (dnger moth) or take out 1 banshee for handtraps or solems or called by
I got a group of like 7-9 people and we always training/dueling. we even have house battles (me and three friends I've trained up) vs (other houses). What I found great too is training without LP just working on combos/setups and how to negate each other until it gets too one sided. really good to see how your deck will stretch in a duel and tight situations. Keep up the great videos
Man, that first one is so real. When I started out Chess I had no skill, then the best player in our school kept playing me. That feeling when I finally beat him was so good. By the time I graduated we got to like 40-60 winrate. Even drawed him in the last round of a tournament after falling behind early! Goals are REALLY important. Even if they're unrealistic.
I have a tip as well. Don't be afraid to broaden your horizons. Too many players are set in their own little niche as a duelist and make the excuse "Well I don't know how to use this deck" or something akin. The more strategies you learn, the better off your deck is.
Great tips! I'm trying to win locals with my Blue-Eyes Deck. My biggest struggle is knowing what cards to hit with my effect vailer or with my traps or when to use Maxx c. Finding out how other decks run is the one thing setting me back in my opinion.
Jerrod Cape I use a blue-eyes deck too! My number 1 tip for your problem is to keep playing and READ OTHER PEOPLES CARDS!!!!! Reading other people's cards is a fantastic way to figure out peoples strategies, you can also talk to them after your match and see where you could have used effect veiler... also if you're not in a locals (which I 100% recommend) due to the drive distance or other reasons, you can look at the top 3 tiers of the meta for yugioh, look at every card and learn when and what to veiler. Hope this helped and good luck! P.s a lot of the best decks are terrible to maxx c so if you see a tuner and a non tuner or 2 monsters of the same level maxx c!
I run red eyes (not a full competitive one but getting there) using effect velier on archfiend black skull red eyes flare metal and red eyes darkness metal dragon are the best options against a red eyes deck like mine
One tip is to learn the basic rulings to the more complex ones. Such as chain link manipulation so you can make your opponent miss timing on certain effects. To even the problem solving text knowing what is a cost, condition and effect resolution.
Depending on the individual, perhaps a duelling schedual to keep track of when to play and when to to fo other things in an orderly manner. Another thing you could do is put together as many decks as you can to get a groove for playing multiple deck, if you originally only play one!
I definitely agree with not just straight up quitting. Even if it means losing, I believe in seeing it through to the end. Too many people take losing as something life ending. Like...chill bruh. It's just a game, not your life. No one's gonna send you to the Shadow Realm if you lose. LOL.
Guys, amazing advice! I dont play yugioh anymore, i play Magic, but dude i can say with total confidence each of these tips help out. A LOT. Especially replaying matches and recording them. My brother in law and i have legit put cards back on the table, and been like "ok this is the moment i lost. What happened?" i learn SO MUCH from that.
If you have any card shops, maybe check websites (if they sell Yu Gi Oh cards) to see if they do locals. A card shop near me does locals every Sunday, and I’m thinking of joining. Either way, on google just simply search “card shop near me” pick closest one, see if they sell Yu Gi Oh, then see if they do regionals. This also works with other trading cards, too
My goal is to find cool ways of playing archetypes differently than they were intended. For example, my Graydle deck ignores their Snatch Steal abilities (unless my opponent triggers them) and focuses on Synchro Spam and aggression. I think it's more fun for both players.
One really good tip that I can give that helped me a lot, is that play with a deck that you have no clue what's in it. It'll help you think outside the box, it helps make you get better under pressure in duels. It'll also give you some new ideas to add into your deck, or new ideas of making another deck. But like I said, playing with a deck that you have no clue what's in it will help. And it makes it more fun XD
I want to thank you for your videos. I just got back in to the game last summer after quitting before GX even started. Your videos and tips have really helped me to improve my game and attitude about the game after having some toxic interactions and kept me in the game.
@@kingkong56e44 it is a reference to duelisr kingdom when Yugi beat masako by destroying the moon field spell he had, and causing masako's monsters to be fish out of water.
Great video! One tip that I would add is to be a student of the game. Watch other videos, read articles, tournament reports, master PSCT and rulings, and just continue to learn more and more about the game
Looking into building a new deck, but can't decide between x sabers or speedroids. I'd like to see a duel to see the strategy of the decks. I've seen your other duels and you guys seem to know your stuff.
This video actually really helped me out, like I really just play aimlessly with my friends and haven't gone to my locals recently. I just play to play with friends with no goals in mind except buy more cards and hopefully build a good deck.
Hey guys I love all your video's there was one big tip you left out, watch all of team aps' video's that's how you get good :) one tip I found was if your locals etc. has a qualified judge just talking to them about the game and current meta can be useful as I found that sometimes judges see things differently to the way players do :D
A lot of Yu Gi Oh TH-cam videos helped me, some really nice people at the local shop and one really good shop owner who was really helpful and actively stopped me from buying cards I didn't need for the Deck I wanted to build
y'all are amazing I love u man and I find myself on YGOPRO every night till 5 in the morning try to learn every deck and if I like I feel I'm not learning it perfectly just keeps me up to learn it perfectly.
have a plan before you do anything and keep it in mind. I often forget what i was going into,why i set this, when to use this because that deck does/has this, etc... Keep life points in mind. i often forget that my opponents fields open or can be ran over and decide to build up my field instead when i couldve summon dark magician and attack directly for game have a deck with draw power. your deck doesn't neccessarily have to have draw power (especially now with so many searchers, Dinos don't run a draw engine) but more draw is better than less draws.
Can't believe you said that! That blue eyes deck is killing me! I need tips to improve my deck in general. Some decks are too slow and decks like blue eyes are consistent and are so quick to wipe you out if your not as fast. I'm trying so hard and to no avail.
great tips i actually have to agree 100% its also better to have multiple duel partners who use a variety of decks. My set is Judge Drag/Dark World/Toons/Red Eyes. My buddy plays Cubics/Blue Eyes/Dark Magician. My sister plays Harpies. Her BF plays Ancient Gears and his buddy plays Blue Eyes/Red Eyes/Agents. If i can get my other friend to start playing again he plays Six Sams. so we have a good bit to test against. I think deck testing is by far one of the best tips. By yourself (not even with another deck) draw a few hands and see what potential combos you can pull. See whether or not the deck is to clunky or to situational. In my toon deck until i get my mimicats an 2 more copies of toon sorcerer im running Dharc and Crush card just cause but I am aware its to situational and needs to be replaced to flow better. Thos hand tests are the best startig point though with any deck. Again great tips.
I find that owning and playing the actual cards is far more appealing than staring at a monitor when practicing. I know it's not possible, but a lot of times actual human interaction in games like these is better at keeping you on your toes.
Its one you have said often under other context and is very relevant; read every card. Actually take the time when building a deck from scratch on some database of cards to read all the cards... true no effect cards that only have story need not apply, but learn all effects to the best of your ability so you know every counter and weakness available against you or others case in point any monster with a limited negation clause or needs to be face up to negate has the easyist of exploitable factors around. use book of moon on it (this is based off nothing in back row), A they use up their limited use to keep it face up or B they do not stop it and it goes face down; it is that simple
I just got back into Yu-Gi-Oh! I got back into it with the new game on the Nintendo switch and so far I am only really good with a basic deck in the game. I’m trying to build a real life deck for my local comic shops contests but I don’t know where to start haha.
Also, if it would be BENEFICIAL to your game to scoop, then do so, if you are in game 1, and you have twenty minutes left, instead of grinding out the game, scoop so you can have more time in game 2 to win then. It is a little more of an advanced thing but scooping does have a time and place. Or if you are like me and you're playing lightsworns and your opening hand is taketomboo, 2 wulf a felis and a garnet, scoop then I'd say.
I have just started to get into the game and I have to say that my biggest tip to get better is to realize that you don't need to drop massive amounts of money to have a good time. I want to play really competitive but I'm fine with buying a few Staples and missing out on desires / dbarrier / Utopia package. just have to remember that cash is not the limiting factor for fun, it's how much fun you can have with your deck and how well you can accept a a loss in a game of combined rng and p2w
Xhalonick a piece of advice for you I'd personally have. learn your cards interactions, you'd be surprised how many cheap card have scary or lasting impressions. I love the look on a metalfoes player's face when you hit them with a unifrog XD
I remember when I beat "the best player" at my locals. He got so pissed. I 2-0ed him using HunderWatts against his KarakuriOTK (this was when Karakuri was one of the Tier 1-1.5 decks, about a format before Dragon Rulers). He got so salty and in that moment I knew that I was finally getting pretty good at the game hahaha
+Jeremy Farrell Thanks! This was a lot of fun for us to record. We've done a couple of videos together recently, too. Trying to get Alec more I'm front of the camera! Let us know if you like it!
One good mind trick is to always check your set back row after your opponent does anything, even if you know you cant do anything, so you can scare your opponent on trying to clear the possibility of FTKs and OTKs
To get better, I bought a couple structure decks to see how I preferred to play. Then I traded cards with my friends as they helped me play better with the cards I have.
"You don't wanna be one of those people alone playing duels by themselves sitting on their carpet" you just described what i was doing until last night for the past month perfectly XD
For some exodia players using hand destruction and dark factory of mass production discarding your normal and blue eyes and the keep your draws going even if you have royal library build your draw power and using factory to add your normal monsters back to your hand and since we have super rejuvenation dragon draw is back
WATCH THE YCSs. Really watch them. The people that go to the big tournaments and especially those that top are great to learn from. Watch Jeff Jones especially.
Kirk Sullivan i played Jeff Jones in the final round of the most recent ycs Seattle. Barley lost in g3 over a my body is a shield. I was playing 60 card paleo vs his zoo. so close to topping. ended 83rd place outta the 1000+
@@gasternecross Yes because shunping xu, Cameron Neal, Ryan Yu, Dominic couch, esala wathuthantridge, and all other big name players just stopped playing three months ago and haven't returned.
My tip is to not begin with top decks. Begin with old cards until you learn the mechanics. Plenty of people don't hate old school Yu-gi-oh and wants to play if someone wants too.
play what you love!!! I have played cyber dragons since cyber dragon came out in gx and now I'm scary at locals no one wants to see me playing those anymore because I've become so good with them I'm considered to be able to take regionals and locals no issue I've worked hard for that right to be considered to be the best in my area with them from every tip you two have said already just they one... play what you love to play boys and girls :)
I played 5x games earlier on at my locals, lost all 5x to kozmo, salamangreats, cybers, ignister and marincess.. was gutted because I run half a salamangreat deck due to my online yu gi oh online seller not sending all 3x structure decks at once. So I had to scramble what I could and it just went awful. My goal is to build a salamangreat deck and just win a game :)
I watch a few of these videos mainly for entertainment. Seeing what the game is now versus what it was a few years back and all that. T.T I've moved past this phase and don't intend on really playing the card game again, but to me anyways, these tips seem more tailored towards individuals who would consider taking this game in a more professional sense....and those two common sense "tips". Variety, and don't just quit.
My goal rn is trying to find out what my best playstyle might be. Or atleast my favorite. There are so many different archetypes and ways to play, i just can't seem to find my niche
two things to do to design a good balanced yougioh deck... 1: you need draw cards, summoning cards, protection cards and destruction cards... pot of greed, monster reborn, solem, repigeki... the easieast way to build a decent deck us to have enough if each! 2... chains... this chain is of the chain! if you add cards to your deck you have to ask youself 1... what does it do! but you also have to ask yourself if it hels you set up the next thing you can do... doest it lead or conect to other things.. example mst. vs. dust tornado both destroy a spell/ trap while dust tornado does have to be set, it gives you the slight edge that if it would be destroyed of if you use it, you can set another trap!
I wave a question. I went to a card shop and it had only magic cards. How do i find a good card shop in ma town.? Are their any corporet names for this shops, a company? How do card shop work?
another one!!. and yea. being a good role model tcg player helps improve your opponent to give more battle ands help you better up aswell. so its a win win at the end.👌👌
i used to watcht the cartoon and buy packs as a kid but havent really played it. quick question: does being good at chess help. or is it mostly who got the better deck or who the lucky one was.
Hi I'm a new player to Yu-Gi-Oh and I play against my uncle all the time with my only deck. What he likes to do is kill me off as soon as possible or toy with me to keep me guessing. What should I do about that? Do you have any tips?
Alexander Evans analyze his strategies, a lot of people love using the same conbos and styles of playing. if you can learn his style you can find a formula to lock his strategies out
The thing is he changes it up. If someone has one strategy per deck he has like seven and uses them out of order so when I think he is using one strategy he uses something different. He is unpredictable.
the only other advice I can give you is to make your deck versatile to match his end game method, dies he special summon a lot? if so make an anti ss deck
You should make another red-eyes video when the new set comes out in the TCG with the new Red-Eyes support, that's the deck I play a lot and it's really fun
I agree with the don't scoop rule. I was playing kozmos and was dropped to 200lps and my opponent was near 8000 and I was able to pull through and win. When we finished we were both surprised. #heartofthecards
0:32 LOL! "We're the experts in this cuz we're on YT!" 😂😂😂😂 I love videos with this guy (sorry I don't know the name; please add name tags or graphics or smth). But please make more vids with him!
Only time I scoop or suicide while dueling is when the opponent is straight up extending the game while negating all my stuff and purposely choosing not to hit for game when he has a full field whilst not letting me have mine
trying throwing away your opponent's best cards into the ocean
That'll work

It'll help you think outside the box, it helps make you get better under pressure in duels. It'll also give you some new ideas to add into your deck, or new ideas of making another deck. But like I said, playing with a deck that you have no clue what's in it will help. And it makes it more fun XD
How do you even do that?
I want to thank you for your videos. I just got back in to the game last summer after quitting before GX even started. Your videos and tips have really helped me to improve my game and attitude about the game after having some toxic interactions and kept me in the game.
Glad we've been able to help. Thank YOU for your support! 🙂
Step 6: Attack the Moon!
What??
@@kingkong56e44 it is a reference to duelisr kingdom when Yugi beat masako by destroying the moon field spell he had, and causing masako's monsters to be fish out of water.

What’s really BS about that is that they could easily just make Atem play de-spell, but noooooo

Great video! One tip that I would add is to be a student of the game. Watch other videos, read articles, tournament reports, master PSCT and rulings, and just continue to learn more and more about the game
really good one
Looking into building a new deck, but can't decide between x sabers or speedroids. I'd like to see a duel to see the strategy of the decks. I've seen your other duels and you guys seem to know your stuff.
This video actually really helped me out, like I really just play aimlessly with my friends and haven't gone to my locals recently. I just play to play with friends with no goals in mind except buy more cards and hopefully build a good deck.
Hey guys I love all your video's there was one big tip you left out, watch all of team aps' video's that's how you get good :) one tip I found was if your locals etc. has a qualified judge just talking to them about the game and current meta can be useful as I found that sometimes judges see things differently to the way players do :D
Im really glad I found you, the perfect type of videos to watch while playing online, keep up the good work.
My best card is Slifer, what am I doing
As long as your opponent doesn't have a Magical Cylinder, you're set
Turbo it out against a combo deck and camp it, it'll auto kill all of their combo peices
A lot of Yu Gi Oh TH-cam videos helped me, some really nice people at the local shop and one really good shop owner who was really helpful and actively stopped me from buying cards I didn't need for the Deck I wanted to build
y'all are amazing I love u man and I find myself on YGOPRO every night till 5 in the morning try to learn every deck and if I like I feel I'm not learning it perfectly just keeps me up to learn it perfectly.
Make a deck of 60 cards and win in just 70 turns because your enemy won't have anymore cards
have a plan before you do anything and keep it in mind. I often forget what i was going into,why i set this, when to use this because that deck does/has this, etc...
Keep life points in mind. i often forget that my opponents fields open or can be ran over and decide to build up my field instead when i couldve summon dark magician and attack directly for game
have a deck with draw power. your deck doesn't neccessarily have to have draw power (especially now with so many searchers, Dinos don't run a draw engine) but more draw is better than less draws.
Congratulations on 60 000 subscribers guys
Can't believe you said that! That blue eyes deck is killing me! I need tips to improve my deck in general. Some decks are too slow and decks like blue eyes are consistent and are so quick to wipe you out if your not as fast. I'm trying so hard and to no avail.
great tips i actually have to agree 100% its also better to have multiple duel partners who use a variety of decks. My set is Judge Drag/Dark World/Toons/Red Eyes. My buddy plays Cubics/Blue Eyes/Dark Magician. My sister plays Harpies. Her BF plays Ancient Gears and his buddy plays Blue Eyes/Red Eyes/Agents. If i can get my other friend to start playing again he plays Six Sams. so we have a good bit to test against.
I think deck testing is by far one of the best tips. By yourself (not even with another deck) draw a few hands and see what potential combos you can pull. See whether or not the deck is to clunky or to situational. In my toon deck until i get my mimicats an 2 more copies of toon sorcerer im running Dharc and Crush card just cause but I am aware its to situational and needs to be replaced to flow better. Thos hand tests are the best startig point though with any deck.
Again great tips.
I find that owning and playing the actual cards is far more appealing than staring at a monitor when practicing. I know it's not possible, but a lot of times actual human interaction in games like these is better at keeping you on your toes.
Its one you have said often under other context and is very relevant; read every card. Actually take the time when building a deck from scratch on some database of cards to read all the cards... true no effect cards that only have story need not apply, but learn all effects to the best of your ability so you know every counter and weakness available against you or others case in point any monster with a limited negation clause or needs to be face up to negate has the easyist of exploitable factors around. use book of moon on it (this is based off nothing in back row), A they use up their limited use to keep it face up or B they do not stop it and it goes face down; it is that simple
So helpful guys! Always love your videos 😁
thanks for helping me get better. good work guys :)
Team Aps: Friendship Goals
Me: F your Friendship! i have the power of Blue-Eyes
I just got back into Yu-Gi-Oh! I got back into it with the new game on the Nintendo switch and so far I am only really good with a basic deck in the game. I’m trying to build a real life deck for my local comic shops contests but I don’t know where to start haha.
Also, if it would be BENEFICIAL to your game to scoop, then do so, if you are in game 1, and you have twenty minutes left, instead of grinding out the game, scoop so you can have more time in game 2 to win then.
It is a little more of an advanced thing but scooping does have a time and place. Or if you are like me and you're playing lightsworns and your opening hand is taketomboo, 2 wulf a felis and a garnet, scoop then I'd say.
Probably best to Veiler Genghis. It's the combo extender.
Good tips guys! Gonna try them!
Wild how I just found you guys last month and yal been on TH-cam forever now
I have just started to get into the game and I have to say that my biggest tip to get better is to realize that you don't need to drop massive amounts of money to have a good time. I want to play really competitive but I'm fine with buying a few Staples and missing out on desires / dbarrier / Utopia package. just have to remember that cash is not the limiting factor for fun, it's how much fun you can have with your deck and how well you can accept a a loss in a game of combined rng and p2w
Xhalonick a piece of advice for you I'd personally have. learn your cards interactions, you'd be surprised how many cheap card have scary or lasting impressions. I love the look on a metalfoes player's face when you hit them with a unifrog XD
I remember when I beat "the best player" at my locals. He got so pissed. I 2-0ed him using HunderWatts against his KarakuriOTK (this was when Karakuri was one of the Tier 1-1.5 decks, about a format before Dragon Rulers). He got so salty and in that moment I knew that I was finally getting pretty good at the game hahaha
I liked Alec one on one with Paul in this video, most personality I've seen come through. Great video.
+Jeremy Farrell Thanks! This was a lot of fun for us to record. We've done a couple of videos together recently, too. Trying to get Alec more I'm front of the camera! Let us know if you like it!
Awesome vid, guys. I'll be sure to share this with fellow duelists.
Brilliant video. Always helpful videos from you guys ✌🏻👍🏻✅ love from Manchester, England 💯
+Declan Rawlinson Thanks from many miles away! :)
Thank u, this video helped a lot. For the record, I was that guy playing duel monsters alone
One good mind trick is to always check your set back row after your opponent does anything, even if you know you cant do anything, so you can scare your opponent on trying to clear the possibility of FTKs and OTKs
Thanks for recommending TCG PLAYER
I love how you tossed in changing up techs, i just decided to add my sdj penguin soldier to my deck xd
To get better, I bought a couple structure decks to see how I preferred to play. Then I traded cards with my friends as they helped me play better with the cards I have.
"You don't wanna be one of those people alone playing duels by themselves sitting on their carpet" you just described what i was doing until last night for the past month perfectly XD
For some exodia players using hand destruction and dark factory of mass production discarding your normal and blue eyes and the keep your draws going even if you have royal library build your draw power and using factory to add your normal monsters back to your hand and since we have super rejuvenation dragon draw is back
4:40 in the morning and can't sleep then this video gives me something to do and think about
WATCH THE YCSs. Really watch them. The people that go to the big tournaments and especially those that top are great to learn from. Watch Jeff Jones especially.
Kirk Sullivan i played Jeff Jones in the final round of the most recent ycs Seattle. Barley lost in g3 over a my body is a shield. I was playing 60 card paleo vs his zoo. so close to topping. ended 83rd place outta the 1000+
that wont help with digital dueling
@@gasternecross Yes because shunping xu, Cameron Neal, Ryan Yu, Dominic couch, esala wathuthantridge, and all other big name players just stopped playing three months ago and haven't returned.
@@TheDarknightRemix ?
Any advice, tips, or videos for Exodus deck?
My tip is to not begin with top decks. Begin with old cards until you learn the mechanics. Plenty of people don't hate old school Yu-gi-oh and wants to play if someone wants too.
Same for any card game honestly
You guys make great videos, quality content. Keep it up!
Thanks! Will do!

play what you love!!! I have played cyber dragons since cyber dragon came out in gx and now I'm scary at locals no one wants to see me playing those anymore because I've become so good with them I'm considered to be able to take regionals and locals no issue I've worked hard for that right to be considered to be the best in my area with them from every tip you two have said already just they one... play what you love to play boys and girls :)
Chriss930 and you only habe 4 at your locals?! :P
I played 5x games earlier on at my locals, lost all 5x to kozmo, salamangreats, cybers, ignister and marincess.. was gutted because I run half a salamangreat deck due to my online yu gi oh online seller not sending all 3x structure decks at once. So I had to scramble what I could and it just went awful. My goal is to build a salamangreat deck and just win a game :)
I watch a few of these videos mainly for entertainment. Seeing what the game is now versus what it was a few years back and all that. T.T I've moved past this phase and don't intend on really playing the card game again, but to me anyways, these tips seem more tailored towards individuals who would consider taking this game in a more professional sense....and those two common sense "tips". Variety, and don't just quit.
You can also have goals like what deck you want to build for example my goal is to build at least 4 decks every year
the goals part really help
My goal rn is trying to find out what my best playstyle might be. Or atleast my favorite. There are so many different archetypes and ways to play, i just can't seem to find my niche
What about scooping strategically to avoid going into time?
two things to do to design a good balanced yougioh deck...
1: you need draw cards, summoning cards, protection cards and destruction cards...
pot of greed, monster reborn, solem, repigeki...
the easieast way to build a decent deck us to have enough if each!
2... chains... this chain is of the chain! if you add cards to your deck you have to ask youself 1... what does it do! but you also have to ask yourself if it hels you set up the next thing you can do... doest it lead or conect to other things..
example
mst. vs. dust tornado
both destroy a spell/ trap while dust tornado does have to be set, it gives you the slight edge that if it would be destroyed of if you use it, you can set another trap!
These tips helped a lot! Thanks! :)

Learn from experience. That's the key improve your skill for Yugioh!
Really helpful video . Thanks guys
One thing that helped me improve at yugioh is and follow closely on this READING. Lol so many people don't read the cards.
I wave a question. I went to a card shop and it had only magic cards.
How do i find a good card shop in ma town.? Are their any corporet names for this shops, a company? How do card shop work?
Can you guys make a deck build tips video
another one!!. and yea. being a good role model tcg player helps improve your opponent to give more battle ands help you better up aswell. so its a win win at the end.👌👌
I finally built my hero strike deck. 1 major problem, I have nobody to play with. My friends think I'm nerdy 😂
i used to watcht the cartoon and buy packs as a kid but havent really played it. quick question: does being good at chess help. or is it mostly who got the better deck or who the lucky one was.
Tip 6 : don't be joey wheeler
XD
Your mean
and have probably invoked some Brooklyn Rage!
Can you guys make a video about how to read the card effects like which can can negate what
Hi I'm a new player to Yu-Gi-Oh and I play against my uncle all the time with my only deck. What he likes to do is kill me off as soon as possible or toy with me to keep me guessing. What should I do about that? Do you have any tips?
Alexander Evans analyze his strategies, a lot of people love using the same conbos and styles of playing. if you can learn his style you can find a formula to lock his strategies out
The thing is he changes it up. If someone has one strategy per deck he has like seven and uses them out of order so when I think he is using one strategy he uses something different. He is unpredictable.
the only other advice I can give you is to make your deck versatile to match his end game method, dies he special summon a lot? if so make an anti ss deck
You should make another red-eyes video when the new set comes out in the TCG with the new Red-Eyes support, that's the deck I play a lot and it's really fun
I agree with the don't scoop rule. I was playing kozmos and was dropped to 200lps and my opponent was near 8000 and I was able to pull through and win. When we finished we were both surprised. #heartofthecards
0:32 LOL! "We're the experts in this cuz we're on YT!" 😂😂😂😂 I love videos with this guy (sorry I don't know the name; please add name tags or graphics or smth). But please make more vids with him!
Only time I scoop or suicide while dueling is when the opponent is straight up extending the game while negating all my stuff and purposely choosing not to hit for game when he has a full field whilst not letting me have mine
This vid helps me out a lot. I must do this.
