    I, just today, decided that i wanted to try out yugioh again.
    So I bought some cards to try and prepare for Phantom rage this November because I decided to build a Phantom knights deck.
    I'm a huge Fan of Darksouls and knights in generall and I really like the Design of the Phantom knight cards.
    I can't wait for the New support and to open some packs again to try and build my own deck with a mix of singles and product.
    I've also never been to a tournament before since i played more casually back in the day with my friends mostly.
    The last time I played with actual cards Was back when the Six Samurai deck released; so at the Start of the xyz era.
    I've definetely got a lot of catching up to do and I really want to thank YOU Cimoo and other Yugitubers like Mbt Revz and Nymhnymh for peaking my interest in the game again and making interesting content that even someone who doesn't play the game can enjoy.
    Sincerely thank you :)

    • @jackbordar2727
      @jackbordar2727 Před 3 lety +7

      I highly recommend that you buy singles ,instead of trying to get all the cards you need by pulling them from packs. It's way cheaper (in most cases), but if you want to open some packs for the fun of it, go ahead.

      @delta_1632 Před 3 lety +1

      Thanks for the suggestions^^
      I bought the baseline of the Extra and Maindeck today as Singles (so cards like Phantomknight blade, cloak, silent boots etc.).
      I held off on some cards since i bought a couple tins of lost memories.(mainly because i wanted to open some packs since I haven't scratched that itch in years xD)
      I got an Appulousa from the first 2 tins which was super lucky but there are still 2 cards for the planned extra deck in there and I'm waiting till weekend for my other 2 to arrive.
      But other than that I don't plan to buy too much sealed product; mainly just Phantom rage when it releases to get the satisfaction of finishing the deck with opened packs instead of complete Singles.
      I'm aware it's a lot more expensive but i think the joy cancels it out for me at least in this situation^^

    • @delta_1632
      @delta_1632 Před 3 lety

      Concerning the side deck:
      I want to have a budget setup at first so the list i've got is:
      3x cosmic cyclone
      3x forbidden chalice
      3x gamciel or radian (thinking about Putting allure in the deck)
      3x called by the grave
      1x imperial order
      2x ghost ogre
      I've got 3 ash in and 3 darkruler in main. I know it's Lp restriction doesn't really play well with the arc rebellion otk but since droplet is expensive it's the only other option.
      Kaiju for Dragoon, Chalice as budget Imperm, cyclone as backrow hate, called by because Handtraps are a thing.
      Imperial and ogre are more filler but i can't really think of something else besides droll/lancia which apparently aren't really that good in the meta right now.
      Any suggestions?

    Great video dude, I love it!! I've always hovered somewhere in between casual & competitive, because I enjoy competitive players & their environment, but I never choose decks depending on atmosphere. I've always chosen decks based on what I like playing & what speaks to me, I'm basically that guy that brings Exodia or whatever to locals knowing he's going to lose possibly every game. But I also tend to gain spectators because I play a lot of anime strategies. If you want friends, play anime decks & be an awesome dude all around. That's my advice anyway lmao.

    Back when i use to play, that was six samurai. I loved that they benefitted from eachother and that some of them gain new effects when there was 2 others on the field. I also use to have a grave keepers deck because I thought it was silly fun, but that was 5 years ago. I still have the 2 decks from back then, but these days I just like keeping up with the tcg through looking at videos like yours, to see how the meta is these days. As far as playing tcg's go though, I play pokemon now, helps that I like collecting the cards. Also helps the boosters (and all products really) have code cards to redeem in the online app. So playing digitally while collecting physically. Kinda wish they would make a game like the old gbc pokemon card game or the old battle city yugioh game on the gba. Or the old MTG pc game back on DoS. The walk around on an adventure style game. And make a deck with a default the game gives you and then upgrade it with the packs you get ingame.

    That 3rd question is definitely pertinent in casual/local playing. A few years ago, a number of players at my locals were using the Dark Scorpion Burglar OTK, and it got kinda tedious to play against. To deal with this, I started teching Gentlemander (Lv 4 Reptile that can drop itself onto the field when your opponent attacks, and is the only monster they can attack, which thwarts the DSB strategy entirely).
    This eventually evolved into a Reptile/Heraldic Beast Rank 4 spam deck, which was my favorite deck for months even after the DSB decks dropped away.

    Another thing to consider for casual play when it comes to what decks other people are playing is matchups, especially if you play with the same group of people regularly. You want to make sure the decks you're playing with that group produce enjoyable matchups when playing against their decks, with gameplay that is not one-sided or uninteresting. For example, albeit a rather unorthodox one, my friend who plays extreme aggro decks like Cyber Dragon actually enjoys playing against more grindy stun-oriented decks like True Draco, Trickstar and Shaddoll as they provide a unique challenge for his decks to overcome.

    I’ve played a bunch of decks since I’ve gotten back into this game and I definitely enjoy control or a mix of combo and control. In terms of my favorite decks for control: True Draco and Sky Striker. Combo being Orcust or Salamangreat (or rather a mix of the two). But there is something satisfying about playing a stun or control deck like Traptrix or Altergeist that makes me feel like I’m the one dictating the pace of the game and that my opponent has to find a way to stop me from snowballing my advantage.

    Whenever I select a deck to play, the first thing I do is set criteria for myself, based on what I find fun, then I select a deck that optimizes for that criteria. For myself, those criteria are
    1. A deck that is not too combo focused, and not too stun focused
    2. A deck that can go second and break boards/ bait out opponent's negate effects
    3. Has versatility; does not do the same exact combo every single game
    The decks that best fit this for me are Mekk-Knights, Shadoll, and Dino

Just because a deck isn't meta doesn't mean you can't have fun and win. A lot of structure decks are pretty good for casual play and it doesn't hurt to pick up 3 of your favorite and edit it with hand traps and counter play cards as you go. Knowledge will come with experience. Just my opinion for beginners.

    Ojama is hilarious and fun.
    Melffy is confusing I have only won one game with them.
    So Shiranui. And skull servants are my mains. Also because they can share some cards from the structure decks

    My current deck is Shaddoll-Invoked cuz the Shaddoll structure deck was the first thing I bought when I got back into YGO this year, and I will strive to make that thing competitive as best I can. I wasn't playing when they were meta, but damn are they a cool archetype with great card art and a lot of versatility. I also really like taking casual strategies and trying to find a way to make them competitive--Marincess is a good example.
    Like you said though, the first question I ask anyone I'm trying to get into the game is whether they want to play control or aggro/combo, and then we build from there. I think that's the most important, cuz there's no point playing a strategy you don't enjoy just cuz the cards look cool or the deck is powerful; there's no fun in that.

    I just build it around a card or cards i like. It wasn't competitive but I ran a Fire attribute backfire deck led by my Tyrant Dragon back in the day. Sprinkled with either Giant germ or nimble momonga to assist. Also had several 'Ordeal of the Traveler' it was a great removal like fairy box. Also having my opponent remove a high level attacker because he couldn't guess the 3rd card in my hand was such a crazy win.
    Also as a side note, I always thought Joey in the anime should have been more trap focused then chance focused. Would have made for some more clever turnarounds relying on strategy rather then luck.
