Danilus Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Here for you people I will be writing a short guide on the art of deck making, you may comment and/or add your own suggestions if you like. Staple Cards The term 'staple card' means that cards that you'll find in most decks and are importnat in play. Here is a list of staple cards people have in their decks: SanganCyber JarPot of GreedBreaker the Magical WarriorSinister SerpentMorphing JarPremature BurialSnatch SealLightning VortexBrain ControlCall of the HauntedRing of DestructionGraceful CharityHeavy StormMystical Space TyphoonMagic CylinderMirror ForceD.D. Warrior LadyTribe-Infecting VirusDelinquent DuoNobleman of CrossoutTorrential TributeReckless GreedMagician of FaithMarshmallonJinzoSasuke SamuraiCard DestructionScapegoatSmashing GroundCreature SwapDust TornadoCeasefireRaigeki Break Deck Making 1. Try to keep your deck as close to 40 cards as possible. The less cards you have in your deck, the more often you will get what you want. 2. Play with what you like. If something works well for you, but someone else says you should use what they use, use whatever you like more. It's your deck. You should like it. 3. There is no perfect deck. Every deck has a weakness. If you can't seem to beat someone in this game, find their weakness and exploit it. 4. You are NOT required to use any of the cards I called "staples." Granted, they may be very helpful and powerful, but you can build a decent deck without them. 5. Keep your deck balanced. This is probably one of the most important ideas. You should probably have 1/3 to 3/5 of your deck as monsters, and the rest spells and traps. As always, there are exceptions to this rule, but this is true for most decks. If your deck is a little out of the ordinary, go ahead and mess with the balance. 6. Have fun! You should never be angry at your deck. There is no one deck that is the best. 7. Put your own heart into your decks, if you like a cards effect USE IT. And thats all I have to say, if you want to say anyting please do. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Hyperion Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 And for Traditional: I. Forbidden Cards There are no Forbidden Cards in this format. You mean I can use cards like Change of Heart in general duels but not in tournament duels? :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaco Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 Well, you and your opponent should agree which cards are forbidden and which aren't before a non-tourny duel. Most of the time people go by the advanced format in casual duels so they can train their decks for an upcoming tourny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeGallo Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 this is pretty helpful i only have 2 staple cards(D.D. warrior, call of the haunted) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Static Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Im sorry Raigeki Break, lightning vortex and dust Tornado DO NOT belong on the staples list.Arguably creature swap. THIS IS THE OFFICIAL ADV LIST, THE ONE ABOVE IS INCORRECT IN SOME PLACES! http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/forbidden/advanced_current.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaco Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 I believe Lightning Vortex is more of a staple than Creature Swap. But yeah, Raigeki Break and Dust aren't necessarily staples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaoserver Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Sangan - Fair enoughCyber Jar - Banned.. Staple? Hardly.Pot of Greed -Banned.Breaker the Magical Warrior- BannedSinister Serpent -Nice! But banned.Morphing Jar - In a select few decks.Premature Burial - Agreed.Snatch Seal - Of course.Lightning Vortex - Laugh at you. In DDT this is acceptable. Elsewhere? Nay.Brain Control -Staple? No no. In monarchs, yes it is needed.Call of the Haunted- In most decks.Ring of Destruction - YepGraceful Charity- BannedHeavy Storm- NaturallyMystical Space Typhoon- see aboveMagic Cylinder- Not a staple at all, in burn and if you dont own a mirror force fine.Mirror Force- Not even, in generic decks its helpful but many successful decks dont utilize it.D.D. Warrior Lady- not a staple, but handy.Tribe-Infecting Virus -WHAT.THE.HELL.Delinquent Duo- Straight up epitome of banned.Nobleman of Crossout- I will not argue against this.Torrential Tribute- Not a staple, field disruption and with wildheart yes.Reckless Greed- I may not agree with what you say, but I will heartily discourage your right to say it.Magician of Faith- One of the best cards in the game. It is of course, banned.Marshmallon- Yeah... About that.Jinzo- BAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHASasuke Samurai-Why do you hurt me so?Card Destruction-See morphing jar.Scapegoat-One of the closest things to a staple on this list.Smashing Ground- Fair enough.Creature Swap- In a GOOD deck you dont need to swap your monsters for your opponent's, what you have on the field should be WHAT YOU WANT. Of course with morphing jar in a darkworld deck not all that bad.Dust Tornado- Never.Ceasefire-Staple?no. Good? Yes.Raigeki Break- I'd be lying if I didn't suspect you were mentally impaired at the time you wrote this. You also seem to be missing an obscene amount of cards from here. As mentioned above, cyber dragon is found in nearly every deck, whether it makes sense or not. If you have mirror force here Sak armor too should be listed. And what with all these banned cards, where is Raigeki and the infamous duster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kallan Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 I hate Cyber Dragon, and I don't see it in many decks. I don't think it's a staple card. Raigeki Break is an awesome card! You get to destroy any card on the field! What's wrong with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DH2K7 Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Whats wrong with Raigeki Break is that it requires a discard to start with, its a trap so its slow. If you want to destroy a monster with it, there are plenty of other cards that do the same job without a discard, and its the same with Spells and Traps, but if your opponent chains their S/T, you just wasted 1 trap, and 1 card fropm your hand. Cyber Dragon on the other hand is a very good card, especially for aggro decks to push for damage or monster destruction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Ash Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Raigeki break isn't so bad if used in a Dark World deck with the right support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaoserver Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 No. Raigeki break is terrible there. Discarding is a COST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sartorius Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Cyber Dragon's NOT a staple. It's good, but most decks would be fine without it. I run only 2 in my monarch deck and it's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
