Building Your Yu-Gi-Oh! Deck
The way to build your own deck is to think of cards you like and that look cool, and that work well together, and then form them in a deck. "Work well" means cards that have similar effects and are similar to each other and help each other out. For instance, Cannon Soldier and Cannon Soldier MK2. Cannon Soldier's effect is: by sacrificing one of your own monsters, you can inflict 500 points of direct damage to your opponent's life points. As for Cannon Soldier MK2, its ability is, by sacrificing two monsters on your side of the field, you inflict 1500 points of direct damage to your opponent's life points.
You may ask, "Why wouldn't I just have two Cannon Soldier MK2s? They can inflict 1000 more points of direct damage than Cannon Soldier." The answer is, Cannon Soldier MK2 cannot be summoned automatically: to summon it, you have to sacrifice one monster from your side of the field, then sacrifice two MORE monsters to activate its ability (1500 direct points damage). This isn't always convenient. Cannon Soldier is easier to activate: you don't have to sacrifice to summon it, and you only have to sacrifice one monster to activate its ability. So you can see that it's important to have a variety of cards in your deck.
And speaking of variety, make sure you have all three card types: spell cards, trap cards and monster cards. Otherwise, if you just have spell and trap cards, for instance, you won't be able to attack and get to your opponent's life points. If you just have monsters, you have no spell and trap cards to protect them or to boost their powers.
(A Beginner's Guide for New-Gi-Ohs and Parents)
I'm creating a new kind of deck. It is a mix between Yusei Fudo's deck, Sayer's deck, and Greiger's deck. Yusei's deck is a speed/warrior themed deck (example: Turret Warrior). (If you don't know who these characters are, check the Yu-Gi-Oh! Characters page.
Sayer's deck is a psychic themed deck, for example, Overdrive Teleporter. I like Overdrive Teleporter. It's a really good card because its ability is awesome. Except, there is a little drawback: you have to pay 2,000 lifepoints to activate it!
Greiger's deck is a reactor-based deck, for example: Summon Reactor SK, Trap Reactor RR, and Magic Reactor AID.
Here are the cards I will need to add (and how many of each) to my existing collection to create this deck.
