Two Part Tip: building the game and advice on deck building by Bo a real duelist
   Greetings fellow duelist who is reading my tip. This is Bo, a real duelist bringing you another two part tip for your knowledge and enjoyment. First, I would like to thank the two duelists (you know who you are) for their great feedback on my last tip, so I decided to write another one. This two part tip, will be about how to keep the game going strong for years and give some, IMO, good advice you may want to consider when you build your deck. Now onto to the tips.
1. Start a league in your area if their currently isn't one or if the one in your area sucks. Go to your library and ask if you can rent a room there (it should be free). The most you may have to do is fill out a one sheet form so the library knows what your doing in there.
2. Post flyers in your library, school, and card shop advertising the league you're creating. These are all places where duelist are, so there pretty good locations. A really good way to get the league noticed is make an announcement on morning announcements during school.
3. The league does not have to be at your library. You can make it at your house, ask your parent(s) or guardian(s) first to make sure it is ok. You can also ask the principle if you can borrow an empty classroom after school.
4.For your league, hold tournaments every so often with donated prizes. Ask for like a quarter to be donated from every duelist every time the league meets. Then go out and but packs with the money.
5. Help out newbies that are struggling with the game. Give them some good cards to boost their deck, help them with strategy and deck design. I gave my friend (I swear I did this) a Chaos Emperor Dragon so that he could have a good start, and he hasn't traded it yet.
    This next part will be about what you can do to make your deck a part of you. One thing you can do is sit down with your deck, in front of the mirror and analyze what you see. Do you see a snotty, arrogant duelist? Think about all the duels you have ever been in, and think about how you acted to your opponent. Think about what you can do to change that image, if this applies to you.
    Do you see a humble, care-free duelist who loves a good duel. I hope so because you are a good person. I wish many more people could take this kind of perspective on dueling and just have fun. I know that if everyone was like this I would probaly go insane. That is why I said many duelists. I love the variety of duelists in this game. The drones, newbies, love of the gamers, hardcore, once in awhile duelists. Each with their own way of dueling. Figure out your style and go with it. Don't be afraid of what you may find out just go with it and have fun.
    I saw something today that made me kinda mad, kinda sad, and very disappointed. Yesterday I found out that a bunch of kids in my area play Yu-Gi-Oh and I was more than thrilled to meet them. One of the duelists was named Eric. When we first met we did alot of trading and we each got a bunch of cards we wanted (I got dimension fusion, ahhhhh yeeeeah). They we decided to have a couple of duels after I finished editing my graveyard deck. Duel after duel all he pulled out were nothing less than a super rare. I got beat a couple times, but I beat him once in the end.
    I am begging all duelists, do not, I repeat, do not make a deck like his. It hurt me to see what extremes he went to, to make a deck. I''m not complaining, nor ranting, I just couldn't stand to see a deck like that, thinking the only way to win was with really rare cards. I'm not assuming that either, he even told me that's how you're suppose to win. Now that my tip is done, I hope you have learned something. This maybe worse then my last tip but my next one will be the best of all, I promise that.
