Basic Staples of Yugioh

Yugioh Staples

Before I start, let me explain what “staple” means. Staple is a term commonly used to describe cards which are “a must have” in almost any type of decks, unless you have very good reason not to use them. The term “staple” does have a very broad definition but every time I go to Battlecraft, I often see questionable moments where some people don’t have certain cards in their deck (even though they have a copy of it in their spare cards) for the weirdest reasons – which unfortunately makes no sense, and frankly, are preventing them from winning games which they should be winning.

New Ruling Updates from Konami

June 10, 2011   Toshi   10 Comments

As with any duels, there are always ruling issues – it is very common to have intense discussion with your friends or opponents whether you can do this or that under various situations, especially when it can decide the outcome of the game. This is not a bad thing provided that such discussions don’t take an ugly turn, as everyone usually learns from outcomes. However, such discussions are sometimes unnecessary and avoidable if cards had clearer text/rules.
