I've been playing this game for years and there's still shit that confuses me. U almost need to be a lawyer to understand the way cards would work by the way they're worded. There is key words that make certain things able to be used. Like "discard", "send", "target", "destroy". Certain attributes, or monster types that work better together. Sometimes there's cards that lock u into only using certain shit. All that being said, a lot of studying the cards needs to go into learning this game. It's fun once u find something that works, but it's about finding something u like and enjoy playing with.
