Board and Card Games Building a Yu-Gi-Oh deck, any help?

I've been planning this deck for awhile already, but I wanted to post it and get some other opinions. I'm very much an amateur in Yu-Gi-Oh, most of my knowledge is from the anime.

It's been interesting to see it evolve as I planned it. It started off as being focused on direct damage, then it turned into monster-destruction, and now it's changed entirely into a spellcaster focus.

I haven't bought any cards yet so anything can be changed with no problems. Here's what I've got planned:


Monsters:

Apprentice Magician x1 2-star
Bowganian x1 3-star
Dark Magician of Chaos x1 8-star
Fire Princess x2 4-star
Gilford the Lightning x1 8-star
Magician's Valkyria x2 4-star
Marie the Fallen One x2 5-star
Moisture Creature x1 9-star
Morphing Jar x1 2-star
Old Vindictive Magician x2 2-star
Silent Magician Lv4 x3 4-star
Silent Magician Lv8 x2 8-star
Wicked Eraser x1 10-star


Spell Cards:

Big Bang Shot x1
Book of Secret Arts x1
Diffusion Wave-Motion x1
Level Up! x1
Level Modulation x1
Mage Power x1
Monster Reborn x1
Mystical Space Typhoon x1
Pot of Greed x1
Yami x1


Trap Cards:

Cursed Seal of the Forbidden Spell x1
Draining Shield x1
Magic Cylinder x1
Magician's Circle x1
Mirror Force x1
Nutrient Z x1
Option Hunter x1
Pitch-Black Power Stone x1
Rope of Life x1
Solemn Wishes x1

Hey, sorry I've been gone for so long, too. I had some connection issues :/

 

Welcome back.

I am going to pull up the cards individually probably start with type. Though my expertise also lies in the anime. I have played the card game with my brother a few times and the video game also.

 

You could try http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/ to check them out. Just type the card name in at the end and it'll take you straight to a page that tells all about it. It's what I used to find out what all these cards do.

 

Exactly what type of deck are you going for?

Strong?

Thought out?

 

Honestly? I have no idea. I just went with an even monster:trap/spell ratio, and then picked everything I liked.

 

you do know you can't use the Silent Magician cards? :sweat2:
because you need to work up each level from level 1 onwards
