Hi everyone!
I'm an 19 year old guy from Sweden which has been crazy in strategy games ever since I was little. Up to this point it has especially been old ones which requires some kind of board but I have recently gotten into more modern stuff.
I managed to discover this intriguing game somewhere during the Christmas period last year and has been completely obsessed with it every since. Thinking about it, I have pretty much been playing on DN every day since I discovered it.
I still have left to buy cards, build a deck and make a debut in real life, I just need to figure out what deck to make!
Knowledge wise, I'm quite sure how the current meta-game and all the newer cards/decks works, but still lacks quite a lot about older ones. It would be really fun if you could play old formats on dueling network, but unfortunately they doesn't let you have 3x of any banned/semi/semi-limited cards. So right now I just have to be happy with reading about old decks and formats.
As a player I would mainly say I prefer to play control-based decks, so a common first turn play you will see by me will be:
1. Summon/set an annoying monster
2. Set 3-4 backrow
3. Tell the opponent: "Good luck"
4. End turn
I also don't like playing top tier or common decks in general and rather goes with something obscure and original.
I still don't know much about how an academy works so I obviously have to read up on it here in the forum. However as I understand it, you have the possibility to play more competitive yu-gi-oh here which I haven't really gotten to try yet. So I'm really looking forward to playing matches, tournaments and perhaps steal some brilliant deck ideas in the process!
