It seems a new player has registered and signed on.
Um, excuse me?
Hi. ‘OdaibaGal,’ huh? You from there, originally?
I’d rather not say, in case you’re someone I know, ‘TK’. You see, I don’t want anyone to know I’m doing this.
Understood. I can keep a secret.
Er, are you familiar with the card game?
Actually, I am. Why?
I’ve only seen it been played at school. I’ve never tried it myself. That’s one of the reasons why I signed up for this.
No problem. The computer should be able to teach you the ropes. What kind of deck did you build?
She doesn’t have one yet.
She doesn’t? I mean, you don’t?
Not yet. I was told I could get a virtual deck form the shop the main character’s grandfather runs so I’m on my way there.
This is how newer players are introduced into the game. If they don’t have a deck to upload, they get one of three virtual decks based off the original Yugi, Kaiba, or Jounochi decks.
...Shameless marketing ploy.
Could you come with me? I’m worried I’ll get the wrong deck or won’t know how to build it right.
Sure. We could even have a mock battle afterwards to give you some practice.
Okay, then, we’re all off to Kame Games. We get there and Sugoroku Mutou welcomes you both. "Have either of you come to buy cards or Starter Decks?"
Not for me, Gramps, but thanks anyway. She, however, would like a Red-Eyes deck.
Red-Eyes?
That’s the name of the sample Jounochi Deck in the game. One of the cards is the Red-Eyes Black Dragon, a Level 7 monster Jounochi won during the Duelist Kingdom competition.
This deck has better monsters than the other two. While the Yugi Deck has some powerhouses like the Dark Magician, and the Kaiba Deck comes with a Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Jounochi’s is filled with effect monsters to help beginners.
How many cards are in a deck?
A deck is made up of 40 cards; about half of them are monster cards while the other half is divided into magic and trap cards. A deck must be of a minimum of 40 cards and can be as high as 99 or more.
But it would be better to keep a deck at about 50 cards, personally speaking. Also, it’s usually best to keep the deck always half and half.
Then should my magic and trap cards also be divided into halves?
Not really. Both serve the same purpose of protecting your side of the playing field, quickly drawing cards, or preventing your opponent from making certain moves.
Oh no, I have more monster cards than I do magic and trap cards!
You can buy more cards in packs at the Kame House by exchanging duelist points that you earn by winning duels. Also, should you buy cards in real life, you may add them to your deck by scanning them with the device included with the game and headset.
Well, shall we have a mock battle to give you the feel of a duel?
I don’t know…
Take your time. Think it over.
