Am I supposed to learn how to play every deck to get good at this game?
>>97815281Play a good card game like Gwent. Monsters is an OP deck, but you can just play Nilfgardian.
>>97815281Yes.
>>97815281Nah you just learn your solitaire route and you're good until your deck gets banned or powercrept. Yugioh is a near zero interaction game.
>>97815281No. First off, you're only going to play one deck at a time. Secondly, Yugioh is a flowchart game. You don't make real decisions, you just follow a flowchart and it either works out or doesn't according to RNG.
>>97815281If you're playing meta then no, you can just learn the chokepoints for meta decks and whatever rogue deck is a bad matchup for you. If you'r eplaying a rogue deck yourself, yes, you need a deep understanding of how to better interact with each deck, since your options on how to interact are more limited and less powerful.What people don't get is that, while playing rogue cheap decks is a reward for mastery over the game, even meta deck players still need to play the fucking game to get good.Yugioh is pay to play but not pay to win like scrubs would have you believe. Meta decks will be more powerful, but buying one doesn't mean winning, there's no shortcut to winning.>>97815305>>97816564>t. bought 3 structure decks and got rekt in locals
>>97815281You are supposed to learn that this game is dead for 25 years and it's a skinwalker puppet ever since
>>97815281no, but you should have a functional knowledge of older and newer cards, at least enough to understand what's possible when you build a deck. remember you only get 40 cards, so getting ones that work well with each other is important
>>97821418>t. coping that his epic rogue deck only loses every time because he hasn't properly "mastered" the matchup (re: learned his solitaire route)
Its competitive solitaire. Just lock out your opponent until you get your ohko in 2 turns.
>>97815281Serious answer is that you only really need to learn like 5ish decks. People who think Yugioh is a solitaire game are retarded, it's by far the most interactive card game in relevance. Decks don't actually replace very quickly and there's a lot of holdover between formats but balance between decks is not good. It's very unlikely for a lower tier deck to be a serious consideration in a competitive setting so you only have to account for the top tier in any given format. You pick one to play, learn the match ups and that's all there is to it.
>>97815281To be world champion level of good, yes.To just be good for a casual or locals, no. Just knowing your deck and the general rules really well is often good enough to be good at that level. Of course learning popular and meta decks is a good idea that allows you to better counter such decks with your own.
>>97815302yeah, digimon is like this too >>97821941digital gate open! We aren't there yet but we are getting close
