How can i make a good Yu-Gi-Oh Deck?

Deck Building:

- Starting with the obvious, make sure you're following a clearly defined strategy. Don't throw 3 Blue Eyes and a Polymerization in a deck and say the aim is to bring out Blue Eyes Ultimate. That won't work. You're going to need to get the support cards for the deck, stuff like Summoner's Art, White Stone Of Legend, REDMD and Dragon's Mirror.

- Taking my first point a little further, it's all well and good to have cards that work together but you have to make sure they all fit in with your deck's strategy, and not just the archetype. For examples, people sometimes run Visionary in a GK deck, this is a deck where you try and just run over everything with your 2000 attack monster whilst maintaining field advantage with Spy and Descendant. Visionary does not fit in to this, so don't run it.

- Another fairly obvious thing, keep the deck to 40, or 42-43 at the very most, any more than that and you just get inconsistent, plus run 3 of everything you want to draw in to more, that way you're more likely to draw it.

- Look for cards that will be getting you net pluses, and avoid anything that minuses you. I saw someone saying that Draining Shield or Magic Cylinder are cards you could be considering instead of Mirror Force. I would like to point out that using either DS or MC will always result in a -1 to you. Mirror Force will always result in at least a one for one, if not a plus for you. Besides it's always better to remove your opponent's monster from the field rather than stall it for a turn.

- Don't try and stick to the whole 20 monsters, 10 spells, 10 traps. Each archetype is different.

On top of this, just find out the names of some decks you like, like Six Samurai, Fire Fist, Mermail, etc, then google "(deck you like) decklist YCS" and look for deck lists that have got a top 32/16/8/4/2 finish at a YCS event, these are likely to be good builds. This way you get a general idea of what these decks look like, but also the sort of cards that high level players use. Fore example, a lot of beginners like Magic Cylinder and Draining Shield, but I can promise you that no deck that makes top 32 or better will ever be running Magic Cylinder (Except Chain Burn)

First go out and buy three of the same structure deck. I highly suggest Dragons Collide, Onslaught Of The Fire Kings and Gates Of The Underworld. Then as most people start out, look up a budget deck list for that structure deck and then when its assembled do some testing on Dueling Network, then if you find it would work better with certain cards, swap out some cards that are not much of use and put in the better ones and see if that works. Eventually your deck will get really powerful. That is what I did when I started playing and now I am a pro with a Hazy Kings deck ready for the regionals! :D

Are you a beginner? If your not new then use this sites to help you make a deck because player have different taste in cards they use.

Unless you are very smart and can make deck that pops out of your mind then you don't need those deck guides either that its a good start.

Since i suck at making deck, i take other people ideas and upgrade them to my style of dueling.

The other guy idea is just one way to make a deck, I'm giving you the many ideas that you could make yugioh deck doesn't always consist of monster, or spell/trap etc; each deck has a ideal strategy to it and that's what make it special (even if it's good or bad)

First you have to have some high lvl monsters, but a lot of monsters too support the tribute summon. I suggest some effect monster cards and normal ones. For you spell and trap cards you have to put cards in that can effect you and your enemy dramatically. Like traps and spells that gets rid of your opponents monsters. You also need traps and spells that can dramatically effect your monsters, like adding attack point cards and a really good card is axe of dispair. It gives a thousand attack to your monster, and when it gets destroyed you can put it on the top of your deck. Swords of revealing light is a really good card but you can only have one copy. You can syncro summon while your enemy is not attacking, because swords of revealing light does not allow your opponent to attack for three turns. Your Syncro cards you should use is the ones with good effects and really easy summons. Make sure you have strong tuners in your deck. Have at least like 9 of them so you can have a good chance of Syncro summon, but watch out Tuners have really low attack, so try to get the best ones you can get. So fill your deck with monsters but not too much. Make sure you have a good amount of spell and trap cards to take down and to help you with your enemy.
