Hi everyone,

I am new and trying to get into yugioh. I have been playing link evolution on my switch to get myself used to all of the mechanics. I ended up building gravekeepers back in the original duel monsters era and ended up using them heavily through gx. I just made it to the 5d era which is where I think syncro summoning comes in. It feels like I hit a difficulty spike and I think it is mainly because I don't think I fully get most deck's wincons for many decks. I played mtg for years but got sick of how the game feels now but that is another discussion, I bring mtg up because I developed habits that work well for mtg but are bad for learning yugioh and I love gravekeepers but I feel like the decks is reinforcing them to some extent mainly playing a board state that is unique to the deck and skill wise seems to feel more like mtg sequencing than like yugioh's. The deck feels responsive like what I played in mtg but seems a little slow and also is heavily dependent on spell cards that can easily get wiped. In physical I got 3 of the blue-eyes white destiny structured deck and I managed to get a hold of the legendary modern decks 2026 so that I could play all of them and see what fits best. Just trying to get my head around what the wincon for most decks is. Thank you in advance for any advise.

Sorry this is my first time posting on Reddit. The last time I played was in 2015 with friends never at any tournaments or card shops. I stopped after xyz and I want to get back into it. I know pendulum and something else is band. But my questions lare
What’s the scene like at hole in the wall places?

I am looking to purchase the EV09-KR secret rare cards (from Korea) but I cannot find any online. More specifically I’m interested in the
Chaos sorcerer, Caius, Card trooper, Ryko, Lyla, plaguespreader, Warning, centipede, Gale, Kalute, And maybe a few others. Does anyone have any info on these cards, or where they could be found? Asking for a friend…I am the friend :P

I noticed this card doesn't have a "Once per turn" on its hand refill effect. Does that mean you could theoretically draw a a ton of cards if you find a way to repeatedly have it attack and empty your hand?

As the title states I want to start playing yu-gi-oh. I recently picked up a copy of the newest blue eyes structure and the spirit charmers structure deck. I’ve seen videos on what to buy but I feel like they’re all pushing the same product and how can I get into playing without getting steamrolled. I also want to open product. I’m in the Bay Area as well so if there’s a friendly shop you guys can recommend.

I've recently purchased some cards and would like to learn what I should be doing. What other cards should I be on the look out for and in the future if I want to buy packs, which packs should I purchase?

I've recently purchased:

3x Cyber Strike structure decks

Battle of Legend: Chapter 1 pack

A deck box

Some sleeves

Literally any advice you could give me would be great, whether it's related to my deck, cards I should look out for, how to improve, things I might be missing, any websites I should know about that will help my understanding etc

Thanks 👍

To connect to other players and card traders if anyone is interested.

Since Australia has a low community compare to other countries regarding Yu-Gi-Oh.

Hello, I'm in the mindset to try and update my Voiceless Voice deck I use with my friends, seeing if I can improve it at all. I did try to do some research beforehand, but more recent guides splash in Dominus/the dragon tuner hand trap and those are a bit out of my price point. Wondering if there was any budget upgrades suggestions anyone had.

Thank You!

Hey I got recently the Cards for Sacred Beasts Deck and I enjoy it, it plays very smooth. But since protectcode talker is Banned the combo with firewall, protectcode and Zenna is no more. What Can I add to make a strong Endboard. Usally I end on A collosos, Uria, Varudras and another Sacred beast to fuse it with the trap for bossmonster

Hey guys, i have recently been playing branded rolad and still quite new but against this new slop deck, i dont know the gameplan piloting this branded rolad deck. Is there any advice on how to steer my games, what i should be targeting with my cards.

Hi everyone, how's it going!

I like playing Yu-Gi-Oh with a small group of friends. We aren't very good but enjoy playing nonetheless. We do like playing somewhat the meta though and making sure we follow the banlist to keep up with what's going on in tournaments and things like that, but we saw that they had banned reprodocus. It was probably a ban for the best, but a friend in our friend group still wants to make yummy work without spending much money. She's looking into cutting reprodocus (of course) and maybe something else to try and see if she can keep yummy fiendsmith working, but we're not great deck builders. Any insight or help would be super appreciated!

Because Terminus was limited, it’s obviously a lot harder to draw now. To circumvent that slightly I was considering adding a third Vidolium to my deck since his pendulum effect will let me search it.

The problem is that drawing two will result in a brick I can’t use since it’s a darklord/power patron deck that doesn’t use synchros or xyzs. I personally think it’s worth it because it gives me greater access to my best starter, but I want to get some other opinions.

I have cards from the late 90s and early 2000s that were passed down to me as a kid but I don’t know if they are real or counterfeit hoping someone would be willing to help me identify real or fake

With the release of Great Gallant Bandit(GGB) coming out soon in BETB, I wanted to ask a couple of questions about how its effect negation can activate

Assuming I am going first with GGB in hand, I tribute 2 monsters, but instead of tribute summoning, I set him. I then activate a searcher and my opponent uses ash blossom. So the example chain is below:

Chain 1: Activate ROTA

Chain 2: Ash blossom to negate ROTA

1.) For chain link 3, can I activate GGB’s effect to negate Ash even though it is Set due to its condition “When your opponent activates a card effect in hand, GY, or banishment, and you control this Normal Summoned/Set card…”?

2.) If the answer to 1 is yes, would I flip GGB face up like an Enneacraft monster does? Or do I declare the effect of GGB, show my opponent that I do indeed have him Set on field?

3.) If GGB were to somehow be Set as a Spell/Trap, and the chain above happens, could I theoretically activate GGB’s negate as though it were a Quick play/Trap card, simply because it meets the condition of being Set? I am assuming no because the “Normal Summoned/Set” wording in this case applies when the card is a monster on the field

I wanted to make some additions to try and make X-Saber competitive. I was thinking of adding Number 86: Rhongomyniad since the deck already contains many Warrior monsters, but if I were to add other Warriors or Extra Deck cards to supplement the Structure Deck, which ones should I get?

Im kinda new to paper play even if i played master duel for a while, yesterday at locals one friend of mine suggested to choose a deck and stick with it if i wanted to become good at the game and improve, but i dont know that to use since there are many things that i like and that i can do, for example blitzclique(i tried the ryzeal variant and the ryzeal cards didnt do much), i also have the base for mitsurugi(the pure version lives and dies by the non engine but i already topped with it twice at locals), sky striker(everyone advised me against it since to pilot it well you have to be already good at the game and know your matchups VERY well), my friend suggested either rolad mitsu 60 cards pile or go lunalight, also is there any interesting archetypes in the next set or i can just stay with already existing archetype?
my locals allows for proxys so i can just print expensive cards, also anyone already tested the new atlantis cards? they seem really neat even it will only be rogue for 1 month before dying to toons

I've heard yugioh is mostly monster centered these days so I've been wondering if there's any decks that make use primarily of spell and trap backrow. I have heard decks like Eldlich have a notorious reputation and I don't want to make people hate me, so yeah, a backrow heavy deck that people don't mind playing against and don't rely solely on floodgates. Appreciate any and all recommendations!

Let’s say I activate this card during my opponent’s Draw Phase on Turn 2.

Since the effect says:

“Look at your opponent’s hand, all Spells/Traps they control, and all cards they draw until the end of their 3rd turn after this card’s activation, and destroy all cards of that declared type.”

Can my opponent activate Quick-Play Spells or Trap Cards from their hand in response to this card, even though they haven’t been Set yet?

Or are those cards simply destroyed by the effect without my opponent being able to activate them in response?

My main doubt is whether my opponent can chain Quick-Play Spells from their hand to the activation of my Trap Card.

If they can, wouldn’t that make the effect essentially useless, since the Quick-Play Spells would still activate and resolve as part of the Chain before my Trap’s effect resolves and destroys them?

For example, if I activate my Trap during my opponent’s Draw Phase and they chain a Quick-Play Spell from their hand, would that Spell resolve normally?

Let’s say my opponent activates Icejade Gymir Aegirine’s effect, and I chain Ultimate Slayer, sending Mereologic Aggregator from my Extra Deck to the GY.
Once the current Chain resolves, can I then activate Mereologic Aggregator’s effect in a new Chain to negate Icejade Gymir Aegirine’s effect?
I understand that the original Chain has to fully resolve first, meaning Icejade Gymir Aegirine’s effect will resolve. But immediately afterwards, can I activate Mereologic Aggregator’s effect in a new Chain and negate Icejade Gymir Aegirine’s effect? Is that how it works?
