Last Updated Apr-23-2026 In short: To build a Yu-Gi-Oh deck, start with a Main Deck of 40 to 60 cards (most players use the minimum 40 for consistency), built around an archetype so your cards naturally combo together
One interesting tip is that you can use your Snake-Eye cards to remove your Spright cards (or Promethean Princess, Bestower of Flames) and free your extra monster zone for Selene, Queen of the Master Magicians
So if on the left-hand side you place a Pendulum monster with a value of 4 and on the right a value of 8, you can pendulum summon as many monsters in your hand and face-up extra deck that fit between levels 4 and 8 For decks like Deskbots, this is simple enough and is a great way of stacking the field with monsters
You can only use this effect of "Symphonic Warrior Guitariss" once per turn
So what your deck needs to meet the alternative win condition, is not a powerful Monster with a high attack on the field, but rather other cards that can help you dig deeper into your deck
