All of today's greatest players had to have started somewhere. They didn't master the game immediately after buying and playing their first competitive deck. Similar to almost everything else, becoming great at Yu-Gi-Oh requires diligence and determination. Becoming knowledgeable of cards, the most popular decks and rulings is the first step. Building decks and experimenting different options is the second step to greatness. The final step is to broaden your horizons and challenge as many people as possible. These three steps will create the path to success in this children's card game.
Increasing overall knowledge of any particular subject is definitely favourable and provides positive results. In Yu-Gi-Oh there is an expanding variety of cards. Becoming familiar with the card's effects, along with their strengths and weaknesses, will increase your knowledge of the game. From there you can assess that card's usefulness. You can concur how to combat it and how to properly utilize it if you wish. As well as researching individual cards, researching the most popular decks of the current format is crucial. You must know what you will be fighting against so you can properly defend and adjust all aspects of your deck accordingly. Finally, you must recognize and master all of the rulings. Creating a misplay because your ruling is incorrect can cost you a game or match. Being able to recognize and call out an opponent's misplay because of an incorrect ruling not only enables you to look intelligent but it can also win the game. A bad player will only research minimal cards, popular decks and rulings. This player will barely grow in comparison to someone who researches many cards, popular decks and rulings. Once knowledge off cards and decks is obtained creating a deck is the next step.
You cannot properly utilize a deck unless you are familiar with all of the deck's strategies and cards. Once you do you can focus on investing the money and time towards creating your own deck. At the beginning phases netdecking can be acceptable. Working from a deck template is not bad at the beginning. Once you master the template you should change the deck around to experiment other cards. Experience grows with the number of cards and strategies you try. Once the main and extra decks are completed the side deck is next and very important. The side deck is like Batman's utility belt. It carries defence and option to get around or defeat a particular problem. With a greater knowledge of cards you can build a greater side deck. After a while you should look into building a new deck to increase your experience, and then another, and then another. As you consistently experiment decks and strategies your experience and knowledge will increase and make you a better player. A bad player will only ever build 3 or 4 decks (if that) in a two year period for example. A good player will constantly experiment decks and strategies. Once a deck is made challenging more and more people is essential.
A player can only accumulate so much experience by battling the same people repeatedly. You must battle more players to gain more experience faster. Moving to a different city, attending an official Yu-Gi-Oh tournament, or even playing on Dueling Network enables you to battle different players. Different players have different skill levels and by playing different players you will eventually meet really skilled players who will give you an enjoyable, yet challenging match. This type of experience is golden and can primarily be achieved by travelling distances and playing different people. A bad player will only challenge people in their city and that's all. Good players will also constantly play these people but must also travel and challenge others.
This is the path that leads to greatness in Yu-Gi-Oh. Obtaining card, deck and ruling knowledge is the first step. Building decks is second and challenging many different players is the final step. Following these steps diligently will definitely increase your capabilities regarding this children's card game. These steps do work and hopefully you follow these steps as well, or will now start to follow them.
