Getting Started

Preparİng Your Deck

This Set contains all the cards you'll need to challenge an opponent to a Duel.Following you'll find basic rules for preparing your Deck:

The Deck used for Dueling should contain  a minimum of 40 cards.Aside from this minimum limit,yourDeck can contain as many cards as you like.

In addition to your Dueling Deck,you can also have 15 additional cards in a separate  pile known  As the Side Deck.The Side Deck allows you to modify your Deck to   better suit your strategy during a Match.

Between Duels, you can exchange any card from your Side Deck with any card in your Deck-as long as you end up with the same number of cards that your Dack began the match with.

The Side Deck you create must contain exactly 15 cards at the beginning of a Match. In other words, if you don't have enough cards to create a 15 card Side Deck, you cannot use one at all.

NOTE: This set does not include enough cards for a Side Deck, so you will need more cards to create one. In an any Match, the Deck and Side Deck combined cannot contain more than 3 copies same card.

FORBIDDEN AND LIMITED CARDS:

According to the Offical Rules, certain cards have specific quantiny restrictions that limit the number that can be included in a Deck. To wiew the current list of Forbidden and Limited cards, go to the offical website: www.yugioh-card.com

GAMEPLAY:

In accordance with the Offical Rules, a Duel is conducted in the following manner.

Before you start a Duel, greet your opponent with a friendly handshake.

Both players shuffle their respective Decks and hand them to their opponent to shuffle (this is called Cutting the Deck). The Decks are then returned to their owners and placed face-down in their respective Deck Zones on the Game Mat (The Game Mat, p.6).

When using Fusion Monster Card(s), place the card(s) face-down on the Fusion Deck Zone of the Game Mat. A Fusion Deck is a card or a group of cards consisting only of Fusion Monsters  formed by fusing 2 or more monsters during a Duel (Fusion Monsters, p.10.)

Note: The cards of the Fusion Deck are NOT counted in the 40  cards minimum limit the Deck.

Show your opponent that your Side Deck contains exactly 15 cards (the cards are counted face-down). When your Side Deck cards are exchanged with those in your Deck, count the cards of your Side Deck with your opponent once again to verifly that the Deck still contains the same number of cards.

For the first Duel in a Match, decide who starts first with a coin toss.

Whoever wins the coin toss can decide to do first or second. For subsequent Duels in the Match, the loser of the previous Duel decides who starts first in the next Duel.

Finally, each player draws 5 cards from the top of their respective Decks. Once both players have 5 cards in their hand., the Duel begins, following the rules in Phases of Gameplay (p.20).
