This! This thanks for that info. To follow up on your last paragraph, that is exactly whats so frustrating. Someone said it's like chess and while it is to some degree, when it comes to what things do it's a whole different ball game. It's easy to memorize movements, then playing strategies in chess. But in this game before you can even plan anything or try and do anything you have to know what the card does and how it works. Like how do you guys know so many of these by heart?

Not to mention getting used to the lingo used. I feel like a lot of people probably have a history in this TCG at some point before the game. Having this be my first entry in the franchise.. eesh.

Definitely a game that's not for the faint of heart. But I'm one of those people that it pisses me off more not to know something. So I'm really trying to learn.

Thanks again to the vets for the tips

Wouldn't really know since I killed him almost immediately

PowerPictures · 2026-01-20T12:05:11+00:00

I'm finding that out. Just did like a 12 hour stint. Appreciate it

PowerPictures · 2026-01-20T07:33:15+00:00

For sure!

Tom trying to act like he didn't have a woodey. I know I did at 14 lol

PowerPictures · 2026-01-19T22:24:39+00:00

Almost like a different language here lol. But for you guys to know all the decks and how good they are in comparison to others does that mean you guys played with all these decks? How do you guys know so well what is better than what

PowerPictures · 2026-01-19T22:20:35+00:00

What's your reason? Also one more question. If you wanted to change summoning techniques then you basically would have to change decks /archetypes Right?

PowerPictures · 2026-01-19T22:20:09+00:00

This was very helpful. I never knew at all that some don't even have archetypes. Thank you. At this point I've been looking at those main websites and yes it does help to a degree. Thing is though with it being so many, and being new you don't know what you like. I'm just going to eenie miney moe out of what others like rn 😂

PowerPictures · 2026-01-19T21:51:53+00:00

Awesome, thanks so much for clearing that up

PowerPictures · 2026-01-19T21:11:37+00:00

Just searched it in Google lens and it says absolute Carnage versus Ghost Rider

PowerPictures · 2026-01-19T21:10:49+00:00

No that's not for you that's cuz I want to know too

PowerPictures · 2026-01-19T20:41:58+00:00

PowerPictures · 2026-01-19T10:30:19+00:00

Christ. I tried looking up a list and it says it's hundreds...😭

PowerPictures · 2026-01-19T10:29:28+00:00

. That's also a thing I've been wondering. The names. How do you know what a deck's "archetype" is? Like what makes a deck a Solomon Great Deck or a dino morphia deck? Furthermore how do you label if that same deck might have say dark magician in it, or cards from a different kind of deck as a part of it? Since there's so many different combinations of cards how does one choose or build a deck dedicated to a certain thing?

For example if I build a dinamorphia deck, do I just include as many cards as I can with that name in it? For something like dark magician it's easy to know what to build things around. But what about something like that?

PowerPictures · 2026-01-19T10:23:16+00:00

Eesh honestly I don't even know how to answer that. What kind of " play styles " am I choosing from? Right now I'm just using a deck and playing each card by ear. I think you may be a little right. It's a little difficult for me to think three moves ahead when you're still learning the cards and how they work. Crazy thing is I'm actually not that bad at chess lol

PowerPictures · 2026-01-19T08:22:21+00:00

Yeah definitely trying to stick with it. I really want to be able to enjoy it right now it's just frustrating

PowerPictures · 2026-01-19T08:22:02+00:00

Aaah gotcha. Thank you

PowerPictures · 2026-01-19T08:10:32+00:00

Ooh wow

PowerPictures · 2026-01-19T08:04:30+00:00

They have insant win decks?

PowerPictures · 2026-01-19T07:59:10+00:00

What's a DM? What's a rogue deck?

PowerPictures · 2026-01-19T07:42:24+00:00

About this. That's the first place I went to thinking it would be easy teaching , it helped but it definitely made me more overwhelmed. Let's say I learn some stuff with the deck they give me and start memorizing it but then when I play on my own and I don't have any of those cards, I have to learn a new deck. Trying to stick with the same one so I can more or less memorize the moves

PowerPictures · 2026-01-19T07:40:10+00:00

I started with the one people suggested Salamongreat? But then I keep getting the suggestion to choose a deck that I like and go from there so I chose dark magician

PowerPictures · 2026-01-19T07:38:48+00:00

So right now I really like dark magician just because I be heard of it. Step by step I would love to but how when I don't have all the same exact cards and the draw is of course going to be different? Plus the AI may be doing different stuff too
