Reading this Section

Going forward we'll play various hands, step-by-step, to see the deck in action, using a sample deck list which you can find in the Extras section.

It might look different from what you will ultimately build for yourself, but that's alright. For the bread-and-butter combos we included a list of required cards, so as long as your deck has those cards, you should be able to follow the combos.

We do recommend playing the combos out as you read them. Probably the easiest way is through a simulator - EDOPro was used to test these combos, and it lets you set the order of the cards in the deck, disable shuffling, and draw a specific number of cards.

You can also use other simulators, like Dueling Book or even Master Duel (if you have the time, patience and/or money to craft all the URs needed for the deck).

If you are learning the deck to play the physical card game, I definitely recommend following along and performing the combos with real cards. Practice waiting for your opponent's response between actions, and say each action out loud before doing it. This will quickly build your muscle memory and will make playing at tournaments much easier.

Either way - don't just read the combos, try them out too.
