Usually, when people are thinking of a strategy to defeat their opponent in a pressure situation, their ideas revolve around summoning a super strong. Yes that is a basic strategy and it works (occasionally) but have you ever thought about this? What if summoning that monster is incredibly hard? What happens then? Duelists now a days are making winning to complicated by focusing on thier monsters. The key way of defeating an opponent is by using trap cards. Not only are they easy to play, hardly any trap cards have any restrictions or certain ways to play them. They are easy to use and many trap cards have clutch effects.

When I think of trap cards I think of cards that inflict damage to your foe while protecting yourself. That is why Magic Cylander is my favorite trap card. It is simple old-school card, and it can really help you in clutch situations. Magic Cylinder is a deadly card that negates your opponents attack and inflicts damage equal to the attack of the attacking monster. This is a must of card to any decks because it provides major defense when you have useless cards in your hand.

The other trap card I really like is Mirror Force/Dark Mirror Force. While they don’t destroy the attacking monster(s), Mirror Force destroys all attack position monsters on your opponent’s side of the field and Dark Mirror Force destroys all defense position monsters on your opponents side of the field. So if they are both played as a chain, they work like a Raigeki card.

Both of these cards are very effective in ANY deck. Samething with Negate Attack or Compulsory Evacuation Device. Whether you have a Warrior deck or are testing deck, these are some cards you would absolutley want on your deck because they can save you from close situtaions and make your opponent pay for falling to one of these traps. This is why trap cards are THE most important aspect of dueling.

How to Make a Strong Yugioh Deck

Sunday, February 15th, 2009

As I searched the web to find new topics for my blog, I found a very interesting topic that might be useful to any duelist. Many people were having trouble making a good Yugioh deck. Making a Yugioh deck is very simple. I’ve been noticing duelists are making it more complicated than it really is.

Once you’ve gathered up the cards you might want to use for your deck, sort them based on the type of card. Create a pile for effect monsters, normal monsters, spell cards, and trap cards. Ideally you keep on analyzing each deck you make and see if it has good combos and strong monsters, but what I’ve done in the past is I have made the deck and then tested its strength in a duel. If you find your deck and its cards flow together, that’s definitely the deck you want to use.

The most basic rule of making a deck is never put to many high level monsters. I would recommend adding four 5-6 level monsters, and two 7-10 level monsters. Also, you never just throw in l-4 leveled monsters. You have to make sure there effects match your deck theme, that they are strong effect-wise, offensively, and defensively. Chain effects help a lot in a duel as well.

The trap cards that you put in your deck must be a great defensive card. You need to be able to rely on your trap cards for instant defensive. Spell cards however can be offensive or defensive. Think of your spell cards as power-ups for your monsters. They should be able to help your monsters defeat your foe’s monsters.

Whether it’s a burn or a theme, the type of deck you want is ultimately your choice. These are just tips on how to format your deck. As long as you can win with your Yugioh deck, you know that is your deck.
