With that being said, welcome to my character deck building guide! This is for everyone out there, from Pojo or not, that might want to build characters decks, but arenвЂ™t the greatest deck builders or donвЂ™t know how to start. I put it in the miscellaneous section instead of the strategy section because this is where character decks are primarily posted, and where I believe more people will view this guide and pay more attention to it. It would usually help if you just focus on a single card, and go from there, a.l.a Rival style.Before I start, I just want to say: I KNOW THIS IS IN THE WRONG FORUM. If you're making decks for OC's, I don't have much in the way of helping you there without knowing the characters. If youre using an app like YGOPercy, which seperates the IRL and anime cards, keep in mind it won't translate when making decklists with apps that ONLY use IRL cards specifically. For example, when I cosplayed as Yusei for a convention years ago, I would have had to print out so many Speed Spells for his Turbo deck, mainly because they don't exist IRL, let alone cards that just don't exist altogether, like Sneak Giant, or Blue Expense Falcon. You also have to take into consideration the kinds of cards, in the type of canon for these things. This is because the English dub generally puts proxies or cards that otherwise shouldn't be there, like Arcana having Ra, or Dartz having a random Timeater card. When I use to do these for cosplays, for accuracy purposes, I would follow the Japanese canon of their decks to a tee. YGO has a ton of weird, specific niche cards that wouldn't see any kind of play in an IRL setting but make for great scripts. Try looking for cards that do what you want the duelist to accomplish, or otherwise, just lead the gamestate into something you're looking for. If you want something a little more on the playable side, I also had this generic DARK Synchro deck that has enough flexibility to at least get a synchro or two out on the board even without scripting, but play it against an actually proper constructed deck and it'll struggle to do anything. However, when you start scripting duels, you yourself can choose which cards are played, so all that matters isn't 'How often am I going to be able to use this effectively?' but rather 'What does this card allow me to do that other cards don't?' because, as you can see in that example, there's a fair bit of redundancy particularly among the cards that switch stuff to defense.

Ultimately I came to this collection of cards that, if you'd play it as an actual deck, would be completely unplayable. They're also LIGHT insects, so I started gathering pretty much every somewhat useable LIGHT and Insect related support I could scrounge up that didn't infringe on their theme too much. I figured since their gimmick is being switched to defense position, it'd be a good idea to look for cards that play around with battle positions.

For example, I was messing about with the idea of a 'Digital Bugs' duelist yesterday. You start with a 'theme' and just build a library of cards around it. However, the alternative is to be completely freeform about it. Then you get the issue of people who do put in strong staples, and duels end up devolving into seeing mostly the same pool of roughly 100 cards every RP.

If you build a deck of 40 cards you need to start thinking about an actual game plan and how the cards work together, making it not be full of strong, staple cards while still being able to make some kind of play. You either build a deck, or you just don't. As someone who's RP'd YGO for longer than he's breathed air, deckbuilding usually falls into one of two camps. The first step to building an anime deck is to not build a deck.
