Chapter 2 Starting Deck
You Xuan logged into the card query websites of Kaiba Group and International Fantasy Society respectively, and searched for the card pools that can be directly purchased on the market.

First of all, it may be that any card player who travels here as long as his IQ is online will definitely look for "that card" without a doubt -

——The pot of lust.

In other words, it is the unique and powerful card drawing engine in the early animation world represented by Pot of Greed.

Pot of Greed can draw two cards from the deck unconditionally. It is this simple and crude effect that makes this card a ten-thousand-year-banned card in the real card environment, becoming a representative of life imprisonment that will almost never be released in the foreseeable lifetime.

A similarly distressed fellow is Angel's Charity, which not only draws three cards from the deck but also selects two cards from the hand and throws them into the graveyard. As Yu-Gi-Oh has developed to an era where graveyard and hand resources are almost indistinguishable, this kind of cheat that draws three cards and also comes with a graveyard stack has surpassed Pot of Greed in terms of its horror.

However, these cards were not taken seriously by duelists in DM anime, but in the GX era, duelists in the anime world seemed to have begun to notice their power. After all, in the GX anime, you can see that the protagonists have at least one Greed and one Angel in their hands, and in the duel of the heroine Asuka, you can even see Greedy Pot passing to Greedy Pot, which is a very brutal scene.

When it comes to monster cards, You Xuan starts to have difficulty making choices.

Because he couldn't find a single card that he liked in the entire card pool. As a card player who traveled through time, he couldn't use those things that he had to gather sacrifices to summon, and when he summoned them, they were just blank cards with an attack power of more than 2,000.
There are relatively high-quality monsters, but many of them are out of stock and cannot be bought at all.

For example, the first thing he thought of was the android Soga, one of the signature monsters of the previous protagonist Jonouchi Katsuya. It was a 6-star monster that only required one sacrifice to summon, but had a decent RBI of 2400, and had a "trap blocking ability" that was quite super in the early environment - as long as he was present, trap cards could not be used.

You Xuan remembered that this was also a very high-quality single card in the real-card environment of this era, and was a frequent visitor in the construction of top-ranking decks in competitions.

However, when I searched, I found out that it was out of stock.

The Android Soga is a highly rare card that has been out of stock for a long time and cannot be purchased at all.

This made You Xuan a little depressed. He soon realized that another important factor in the difference between the environment in the animation and the real card was the difficulty of obtaining the card.

In reality, they can check at any time what cards are in the entire card pool of the current version, and can use almost any card to achieve any build. But duelists in the Yu-Gi-Oh world do not have this convenience.

There were some kathas that he wanted, but he only glanced at the price and immediately gasped.

Farewell.

You Xuan knew clearly that cards in this world were almost directly equivalent to weapons and strength, so he had already made preparations for heavy bleeding in order to obtain the necessary cards at any cost.

But having said that, looking at the outrageous prices of some rare cards, he thought that even if he sold himself, he would not be able to afford them.
Not in an exaggerated sense, but in a literal sense.

As expected, the price difference between common cards and rare cards in this world is ridiculous. The price of common cards and common card packs is not much different from that in the previous life, and everyone can afford them. But it is not an exaggeration to say that the value of some rare cards is equivalent to a house.

And that was the rare cards that could be bought. For example, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, which everyone knew only had three in the world and all of them were in Kaiba Seto's hands, was out of the question.

I continued to learn more and found that in addition to car loans and mortgages, there is even something called brand loans. As the name suggests, you can borrow money to buy a card.
"It turns out that not having a card is so painful," You Xuan curled his lips.

Fortunately, even under such restrictions, he still managed to design a construction plan using the cards he could obtain.

The prototype of this deck is the first World Championship deck in history, which is a milestone in the history of Yu-Gi-Oh real-card competition.

The notebook is destroyed.

Perhaps every novice duelist who got into the game through the anime will have some unrealistic fantasies about playing cards, such as the confrontation between high-attack big brothers, fierce offensive and defensive exchanges, and direct confrontations like in the anime, and then calling GG in a hearty battle.
But that was a fake Yu-Gi-Oh.

The real Yu-Gi-Oh is that only one of the two people at the table can play Yu-Gi-Oh.

The most reliable way to win is to eliminate the possibility of the opponent's tactics and make it impossible for the opponent to play any cards. This concept runs through the whole process, and it is still the same today, and it is also true in the early card playing environment.

[Handbook Destruction] is a deck built on this idea. As the name suggests, its tactic is to destroy the opponent's hand so that the opponent has no cards to play. From the moment they come to the table, they can only stare blankly and hang up. It can be regarded as the originator of the underworld.

The opponent's perception of duels will be completely overturned when facing this deck. The poor guy will experience a series of "blood pressure soaring", "I want to hit you" and "summon my fist attack display" in just a few minutes. So if we have to say what the biggest flaw of this deck is, it may be that the user's personal safety is difficult to guarantee.
Of course, You Xuan couldn't remember the entire construction of this ancient champion deck, and he couldn't get some rare cards. So he just borrowed its ideas and made a new construction.

As for some empty positions in the deck, just fill them with more traps of decent single card quality.

In fact, some traps are not profitable from the perspective of Youxuan, and may not be very useful. The main reason is that too many traps can easily break the opponent's mentality.

He is not a devil, and he does not play tricks on others. Psychological warfare is also a part of the duel. It is sometimes an effective tactic to break the opponent's mentality before emptying the opponent's LP.

Yes, it is like that.

He continued to browse the web page casually, and when his eyes swept across a certain page, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Android Soga, stock quantity 1.

You Xuan immediately slid back the page and clicked on the query. However, he was rejected by the webpage right after.

"No access."

"Academy exclusive card."

You Xuan was stunned.

College department? What is that?

After some more surfing the Internet, he finally understood.

The so-called Academy Department refers to the Duel Academy. It is the world's largest Duel Academy, which was established by Kaiba Seto. He bought an entire island as the headquarters of the academy and provided it with all the resources.

Students on the island have the opportunity to get priority access to the latest card packs, and have channels to purchase rare cards that are simply not available to the outside world, and can also enjoy discounts when purchasing.

Even if we put aside the college's hardware equipment and teaching staff, the rare cards and preferential treatment alone are enough to make people jealous.

Even for students with good enough grades, their grades and credits can be exchanged for cards. In a world where a card can be sold at a sky-high price, this can save students a huge amount of card building budget.

Not to mention that students who graduate from the Duel Academy will have the most impressive diploma in the duel world, and will be given priority for internal recommendations whether they want to enter the professional world, work for Kaiba Corporation, or the International Fantasy Society.

Then flipping down casually, You Xuan even caught a glimpse of the Chaos Wizard!
Chaos Wizard, 6 stars with an attack power of 2300. It can be Special Summoned directly by removing a Light or Dark attribute monster from the Graveyard, and has a powerful effect of removing one monster on the opponent's field from the game once per turn.

Because it has similar summoning conditions and effects to the more famous "Chaos Warrior - Messenger of Creation", it became its lower-level substitute after Chaos Warrior was listed as a banned card. It is nicknamed "Little Creation" by card players and is a first-line combat force in the current version environment.

In this world, Chaos Warrior is an extremely rare card. In the anime, it is known that only Duel King Yugi Muto has one. In the GX anime, there is also an exhibition card in Yugi Muto's replica deck. Apart from that, it has never been seen again.

So it is almost impossible to get a big opening. But it would be great if you can buy a Chaos Wizard.

In addition, there are some other good rare cards, which are also hard to see in the outside market, and their prices are indeed discounted compared to the market price.

Seeing this, You Xuan took a deep breath.

Decided.

Apply to a duel academy first.

If you fail the exam, take the second exam.
