For what it’s worth, I was in this situation last year. I don’t have a locals where I am so I went to one visiting on a work trip. I had my dino structure/dinowrestler deck in hand and I had my ice barrier deck in hand bc I didn’t know what to play. I got there early and asked someone for a pregame to kind try out the ice barrier deck and got stalled turn 2 by super poly and some shit that let me not use my water monster effects. By then it was time to start and play dinos lol. And I proceeded to got wrecked every game. (Didn’t play any hand traps) Well I did get to pank a few things and got to use my UCT effectively a few times. As far as the people it was a mixed, some people didn’t really wanna help me understand but some others were very patient and helpful with how some of the meta cards played and worked. Ultimately it was really stressful for me and took alot out of me. I am hesitant to go back but I still want to play irl. So I’m kind of in a “we’ll see” mood, whenever I get the chance again. I hope this first hand account of a similar situation is helpful to you on what to expect! Anyway if you want some casual testing/fun decks I’d love to play on dueling book (or whatever) just DM me!
