Dragon Rulers

 

I wouldn't call that simple. Rulers are hard to play and the individual cards have extremely long effects.

 

A good cheap deck to start with would be Dino Rabbit to be honest. Every card you need is in a Tin and is worth about £2 at most (bar Jurrac Guaiba, but you can replace it with Hydrogeddon for the purposes of learning). 

It may not be competitive right now since Rabbit is limited, but it is great for learning how to play the game.

 

Blackwings would be another good cheap option.

Dragon Rulers are extremely easy to play. Why else would every freaking scrub on the planet play them? =D

 

That long text helps the user understand a wide variety of effects. xD

 

Blackwings are cheap enough but IMO take some thinking that might be hard for a newcomer to decide what to search.
Dino Rabbit is dang chaotic, but that could work.

Run darkworlds, you can make the deck with 1-2 structure decks if you want to go budget.

 

Not the easiest deck (especially since newer players can get confused between discarding for effects and costs) but so long as he keeps to the general idea of discarding all his DW monsters he should at least stand a chance and win a few games *cough Grapha cough*.

Doesn't know what to do in Yugioh

 

>Hands him most gimmicky deck of all time

>lol@goldsilvaandtheotherbadones

It may be cheap but I don't advise that.

m8 CF!V is probably better

and easier to play

and less magic

 

Also Rank 4/Number Deck is cheap enough, though the survival rate is somewhat low.

If you want to play a busted game, sure, go with that. Let's not compare card games, though.

 

I don't think any of the decks so far are very good for a beginner. The easiest would probably be Dino Rabbit, since it has an extremely central goal and besides that just sits on backrow. Blackwings also aren't too difficult, either, if you're playing a simple variant. Most people can guess if they want to search for Kalut or Gale or what. They won't gain as much advantage not knowing exactly what to pick at any given moment, but they will still be okay.

 

Dragon Rulers is a horrible idea because of the long text. Sure, you can play them without knowing what you're doing, but you will probably forget a lot of things along the way, and end up without any advantage after turn 1 or 2.

tbh I wouldn't recommend doing this. CFV is definitely not everyone's cup of tea, because the power level works on a completely different level from other card games due to the high reliance upon luck and such as well as how powerful the topping decks are (Reference: Revenger gauntlets JESUS CHRIST RAGING FORM), and people will more than often just get mad because luck isn't on their side in a few games. That and the official tournaments are worse than ygos by a long, long way.

If I was to allow them to play something, I'd probably let them play something like 4-Axis Fists. Very easy to understand and powerful decks that introduces your friend to one of the most important aspects of Yugioh: Gaining and upholding card advantage. It also has the tools required to allow your friend to appreciate what sets a good card aside from a bad card and introduces them to some long term game staples that a lot of other decks are missing.

I thought of 4-axis too but I thought BW or Rabbit would be a far cheaper alternative since 4-axis needs Wolfbark which is way too expensive for a beginner.


OP doesn't necessarily state that this is for irl play, so I took it as a result of either online or there being no budget. If there is, then I apologize and I'll retract my statement.

Well I was talking about casual play.

M8 the bold is all Yugioh anyway

 

Well if this is what is like for Yugioh it must be worse for CF!V.

=P

>everyone says to play Dragon Rulers

Dino Rabbit is dead with one Rabbit too, what are you all smoking? OP, if he has some spare cash have him make Constellars. They're extremely linear and not too expensive except for M7, Pleiades and Sombre. If he doesn't have the cash, Gadgets work, so do Frogs. A deck that forces you to think about phases and when to activate effects and how to use recurring effects to gain advantage provides a sufficiently steep learning curve.

Whenever we get a new player at most of the stores I frequent, we start them off with Frognarchs and progress to Lancer Frogs once they're comfortable with how an advantage engine works.

m8 i was the only one

and I'm pretty sure this guy is OCG or doesn't follow banlists or some crap

 

2 Dragon Rulers of each kind....I'm pretty sure the deck lives.

And hell people are still clinging to it now like morons

 

I mainly posted it as a joke.

 

Constellars are quite fair and easy to play, you're right.

Dino Rabbit? Yeah that's been dead for the most part.

Dustons are cheap and very easy to play. The central goal is very clear and it is obvious which Dustons you want to give yourself or your opponent. 

 

Also fun, which is always important.

 

Otherwise I was just gonna suggest Dark Worlds or Battlin' Boxers, since both are fairly mindless in figuring out what to do in terms of combos, searches, etc. 

(No offense intended to players of either, except yes offense because its true.)

Except Battling Boxers aren't gimmicky as hell.

But yeah Rank 4 decks tend to be easiest to understand.

DW takes an immense amount of skill to play and top with right now, and it's the best anti-meta deck this format. Boxers are still trash.
