  I&apos;m 33, just started to collect again. Bought three different structures decks. I haven&apos;t played in over 2 decades. Also went nuts and bought a bunch of packs and boxes oops. I doubt I&apos;ll get to play with anyone, but its fun to have them in my binder again 😬

  This was very knowledgeable. I’m am the 20 year ago player that you guys are talking to. I’m going to go buy 6 structure decks and play with my 7 year old son until we get better.

  The biggest barrier to entry for Yugioh is that there&apos;s no great way of easing someone interested into the game without throwing them face first into the Deep End of a 10 min Snake Eyes combo. Master Duel is a great program but only if you know the game already. For new players it does next to nothing to get them ready for the intricacies of a duel.<br><br>The good news for anyone trying to get into Yugioh though &nbsp;is that once you do push through that high barrier everything else comes easily and you really do just &apos;get it&apos; for lack of a better phrase. Once I got all the fundamentals down after coming back I could perform combos and understand what effects do what pretty effortlessly. Yugioh at its best is the funnest card game and blows any other out of the water with ease; but getting there isn&apos;t easy(and Konami tries to ruin it every step of the way).<br><br>PS none of this applies to the horrible costs of physical cards currently so uh maybe wait off on building stuff in paper till things get less absurd. Cockroach birb at 100$+ is a great way to keep people away Konami

  I recently got my friend back into Yugioh through Dueling Nexus, and we looked for a deck for him together until he got a Raidraptor-Deck. And now we&apos;re going to Locals together. Our local is a bit more casually so its a lot of fun and we dont meet frustrating decks that often. 🦉🇩🇪

  When building a deck if you’re stuck what I discovered that makes things easier at least for me is building your extra deck and working backwards from there. “Ok I want to synchro so and so it requires a tuner and a normal monster so I can use any of these, how do I get these in my hand to play I can use this spell or throw away this monster” before you know it you already halfway done at most and the other half is beefing up your deck

  I just love how every YGO player is saying &quot;Don&apos;t&quot; play YGO. And, I honestly gotta agree with them. I had to play 9 months of Master Duel and watch IRL YGO duels on youtube to be comfortable to participate in a YGO tournament.<br><br>Keeping up with the meta, OCG trends, looking ahead of the curve for new decks/staple cards, plus checking up prices in TCGplayer and local stores can be quite time consuming. All just to play 2 tournaments on the weekend right after my weekly 40 hours of work. Each tournament taking up 4-6 hours + 80 mins travelling back and forth to my locals.<br><br>And this isn&apos;t including how much money I spent on my 3 decks, staple cards, tech cards, sealed products, structure decks, accessories, tournament fees and time.<br><br>Edit: I forgot the most important point, which is reading. Reading each card&apos;s effect and knowing every single deck combo and choke point. To be a competent YGO player, you must know all meta decks or 80% of them.
