2.0 Yugioh Game Basics
----------------------

Yugioh is a strategic card game in which you must fulfil one of 4
victory conditions before your opponent does:

- Reduce your opponent's Life Points (LP) to 0 or less (explained below)
- Have all 5 pieces of Exodia the Forbidden One in your hand
- Play all 5 pieces of the Ouijyan Board (to spell D-E-A-T-H)
- If your opponent can't draw another card because they have no more to
 draw (Deck Out)

When you begin a game, you start with 8000 Life Points (LP), when these
reach 0 that person loses. in order to do damage to LP you must use either
Monster Cards or Magic Cards.

---------------------------
2.1 Monster Cards Explained
---------------------------

*Monster Cards*

The main emphasis of Yugioh is on Monster Cards which form the basis of
your attack and defence. Each Monster Card has two main values, Attack
and Defence (in addition to level and element, but I get onto these later)

-----------------------------

¦ --------------- ¦Defence¦ ¦
¦                 --------- ¦
-----------------------------

*Level*

Each Monster Card is given a level, the higher the level, the stronger
the card. Depending on the level, you may have to sacrifice one or
more cards in order to play the card. Here's a quick list to show you
how many you need for each level:

Level 1 - 4 : No Sacrifice needed, you can play straight from your
             hand.
Level   5   : 1 Sacrifice is needed.
Level   6+  : 2 Sacrifices are needed.

(Note: There are some cards (Fusion and Ritual) cards which do not
follow the same rules as normal cards.)

-Fusion Cards-

Fusion cards are monsters which are made up of 2 or more other
monsters. To use a fusion monster, you must first have the 2 or
more necessary cards (3 Dragon cards for example). You then
sacrifice the necessary cards, and you can now play the Fusion card.

-Ritual Cards-

Ritual Cards are monsters which require a special ritual magic card
(Ultimate Dragon Ritual for example.) For these rituals, you must
first sacrifice 1 or more necessary cards (in this case, 3 Blue Eyes
White Dragons), totalling 3 (if there is only 1 required card, you
must sacrifice 2 additional cards of your choice.)

*Attack Rating*

Every Monster Card has an Attack Rating, ranging from 0 to 5000 (base
value; magic and equipment cards can be played to increase the 'base'
value.)
The Attack Rating is shown in the bottom right hand corner of the card
(the top number.)

*Defence Rating*

Also, every Monster Card has a Defence Rating, ranging from 0 to 5000
(base value; magic and equipment cards can be played to increase the
'base' value.)
The Defence Rating is shown in the bottom right hand corner of the card
(the number under the Attack Rating.)

*Card 'Modes'*

In Yugioh you can play Monster Cards in one of 3 modes, Reverse Defence,
Defence and Attack.

-Reverse Defence-

When you first play a Monster Card and select 'Defence' your card will
be placed in 'Reverse Defence' Mode. In this mode, the card values cannot
be seen by your opponent, and if they attack, it is your defence rating
that will count. (Note: You cannot switch a card to 'reverse defence'
mode after the card has been played. After the card is switched to
either 'Defence' or 'Attack' mode, it cannot be switched back to
'Reverse Defence' mode.)

---------------
¦*************¦
¦*************¦
¦*************¦
¦*************¦
---------------

-Defence-

Either:
- When you play a card in 'Reverse Defence' and you opponent attacks the
card (without beating the card), the card is now placed in 'Defence'
mode.
- When you attack with one of your cards, and next turn you switch it
to defence mode.
In this mode, the card values can be seen by your opponent, and if they
attack, it is your defence rating that will count.

-Attack-

In 'Attack' mode you can attack one of your opponent's monster cards. In
this mode, the card values can be seen by your opponent, and if they
attack, it is your attack rating that will count.

2.2 Duelling and how to do it
----------------------------

*Duelling*

Duelling is the name of the card battles which happen all across the world
in DM7. To duel someone, move up to the person who you want to duel and
press [ R ] on your GBA. (Note: Not all people can be challenged to a
duel.)

*'Top' Duellists*

For those of you who have watched the TV show, the 'top' Duellists are the
main characters seen throughout the series (Yugi, Joey, Tai, Tristan etc.)
For those who haven't seen the TV series, they are the ones which have an
image when you talk or duel them. (Note: Some 'Top' Duellists will not
accept a challenge until you have performed certain tasks - See 'Quick
Walkthrough'.)

*How to Duel*

After going up to someone and pressing [ R ], you will be shown your
'case' (where you store all your cards), this is where you 'bet' a card
on the duel (the better card you bet, the better the card you get if you
win; Note: If you lose the duel, you lose the card you bet.)
To 'bet' a card, simply highlight the card you wish to bet, and press (A)
and select the second option (middle) and the battle will begin. (To not
bet a card, simply press (B) and select the top option, but remember, you
will not win any new cards if you do not bet a card in the first place.)

1 - Hand: You can have up to 5 cards in your hand at one time, if you
   already have 5 when it's your turn, you do not draw a card until
   you discard one first.
2 - Magic/Traps: You place your magic and trap cards here. You can have
   up to 5 magic, trap, or equipment cards in play at any one time,
   and a new card cannot be played until:
   - Your trap duration ends
   - Your opponent uses a card which removes on or all of your trap/
     magic cards
   - You use a card which removes on or all of your trap/magic cards on
     your own side
3 - Monster Cards: You can play up to 5 Monster Cards at any one time. In
   order to play a new card, you can either:
   - Sacrifice one, or more cards to summon a more powerful monster
   - Lose the card from being attacked by the enemy
   - Use a magic/trap card which removes all monsters on the field, or
     a set of monsters

-Game flow-

Once the battle starts someone will be picked at random to play first,
that person will follow the following chain of events:

-Who will win?-

There are two ways in DM7 that you can defeat an opposing card, either
through higher 'Ratings', or through an elemental type.

*1 : Ratings*

As I said earlier, all Monster Cards have an Attack and Defence rating,
and this is one way how you can decide who will win the 'battle' between
two cards.

Attack -> Attack (Higher Attack)

If you attack a card which is in attack mode, you compare the two cards
attack ratings, and the highest rating wins. Also, the loser of the
exchange gets deducted a number of LP equal to the difference in attack
ratings.

For Example:

You're Card:
------------------------------
¦  Blue Eyes White Dragon    ¦
¦                            ¦
¦                   ******** ¦
¦ -------------------------- ¦
¦ ¦                        ¦ ¦
¦ ¦                        ¦ ¦
¦ ¦                        ¦ ¦
¦ ¦                        ¦ ¦
¦ ¦         BEWD           ¦ ¦
¦ ¦                        ¦ ¦
¦ ¦                        ¦ ¦
¦ ¦                        ¦ ¦
¦ ¦                        ¦ ¦
¦ -------------------------- ¦
¦                            ¦
¦ --------------- --------   ¦
¦ ¦Dragon¦¦Light¦ ¦A:3000¦   ¦
¦ --------------- ¦D:2500¦   ¦
¦                 --------   ¦
------------------------------

Opponent's Card:
------------------------------
¦        Baby Dragon         ¦
¦                            ¦
¦                        *** ¦
¦ -------------------------- ¦
¦ ¦                        ¦ ¦
¦ ¦                        ¦ ¦
¦ ¦                        ¦ ¦
¦ ¦                        ¦ ¦
¦ ¦       Baby Dragon      ¦ ¦
¦ ¦                        ¦ ¦
¦ ¦                        ¦ ¦
¦ ¦                        ¦ ¦
¦ ¦                        ¦ ¦
¦ -------------------------- ¦
¦                            ¦
¦ ---------------- --------  ¦
¦ ¦Dragon¦¦Ground¦ ¦A:1200¦  ¦
¦ ---------------- ¦D: 700¦  ¦
¦                  --------  ¦
------------------------------

So That's:

You: 3000 (Attack)
Opp: 1200 (Attack)

You have the higher attack rating, so you win and Baby Dragon will be
eliminated from your opponent's (3: Monster Cards) section of the
board.
Your opponent will also lose LP as their Monster Card was in Attack
Mode. They lose the difference between Attack Powers:

3000 - 1200 = 1800

So your opponent loses 1800 LP from their total.

Attack -> Attack (Same Values)

If you attack one of your opponent's monster cards (when both cards
are in attack mode) and both cards have an equal Attack Rating, then
both cards are eliminated, and no LP are deducted from either side.

Attack -> Defence (Higher Attack)

If you attack a card which is in defence mode, you compare the your card's
attack rating and your opponents card's defence rating, and the highest
rating wins. However, if your attack rating is less than your opponents
card's defence rating, you will lose LP equal to the difference between
your card's attack rating, and your opponents card's defence rating.

For Example:

You're Card:
------------------------------
¦  Blue Eyes White Dragon    ¦
¦                            ¦

¦   ¦00¦     ¦                 ¦ *   ¦
¦   ----     ------------------- *   ¦
--------------------------------------

So Thats:

You: 3000 (Attack)
Opp: 2000 (Defence)

Your attack rating is higher than your opponent's card's defence rating,
so you win and Mystical Elf will be eliminated from your opponent's
(3: Monster Cards) section of the board.
Your opponent will not lose any LP as their Monster Card was in Defence
Mode.

Attack -> Defence (Higher Defence)

If you attack a card which is in defence mode, you compare the your card's
attack rating and your opponent's card's defence rating, and the highest
rating wins. However, if your attack rating is less than your opponents
card's defence rating, you will lose LP equal to the difference between
your card's attack rating, and your opponents card's defence rating.

For Example:

You're Card:
------------------------------
¦        Baby Dragon         ¦
¦                            ¦

¦   ¦00¦     ¦                 ¦ *   ¦
¦   ----     ------------------- *   ¦
--------------------------------------

So That's:

You: 1200 (Attack)
Opp: 2000 (Defence)

Your Attack Rating is lower than your opponents card's Defence Rating,
so no cards are eliminated, but you will lose LP equal to the difference
between your attack, and your opponent's defence:

2000 - 1200 = 800

So you lose 800 LP from your total.

Attack -> Defence (Same Values)

If you attack one of your opponent's cards (when your card is in attack
mode, and your opponent's is in defence or reverse defence), and both
your attack rating and their defence ratings are the same, nothing
happens.

*2 : Elements*

The second way you can defeat your opponent's cards is by attacking or
defending with a card of an element which is 'strong' against the element
of the card used by your opponent.

Every Monster Card has an element or type, and depending on the type, it
is strong or weak against another element. If your card is 'strong'
against the element, then your card will defeat the other, no matter
what the attack or defence ratings are. However, if your card is 'weak'
against the element, then your card will loss to the other, no matter
what the attack or defence ratings are.

So the elements/types are:

'Main' Category

Fire (Red)
*Beats*
Forest (Dark Green)
*Beats*
Wind (Light Green)
*Beats*
Ground (Brown)
*Beats*
Thunder (Yellow)
*Beats*
Water (Blue)
*Beats*
Fire (Red)

'Sub' Category

Black (Black)
*Beats*
White (Gray)
*Beats*
Evil (Purple)
*Beats*
Illusion (Light Purple)
*Beats*
Black (Black)

(Note: As I said above, if the element of card will *beat* another card,
then you will win no matter how high or low your attack and defence
ratings are, and no matter how high or low your opponents card's attack
and ratings are. However, if your card has a higher attack rating (when
attacking your opponent's cards in attack mode) than your opponents, you
still deduct the same number of LP as if the elements were null.)

-----------------------
2.3 How to Build a Deck
-----------------------

-Costs-

Every card within DM7 has a 'cost', the higher the cost, the better
the card (not stronger, better.) (Note: The most 'expensive' cards are
usually level 4 cards with 1800+ Attack Ratings as these require no
sacrifices to use.) This 'cost' is the amount of Duelling points required
to place the card in your deck, and if have enough Duelling points to use
the card, then this 'cost' is the amount of deck capacity needed to
store the card in your deck.

For Example:

Blue Eyes White Dragon (Level 8)
A: 3000
D: 2500
Has a cost of 95 (relatively low because it requires 2 sacrifices to
play the card.) This means you have to have a Duelling level of at
least 95, any less and you cannot use this card.

Ex. My Duelling Level is 400, so I can use this card.

As I can use this card, I will. I place this card in by deck:
Capacity:  0/2700 Cards: 0/40 (Before)

Capacity: 95/2700 Cards: 1/40 (After)

Now that I have this card in my deck, my maximum capacity (2700) is now
lessened by 95, so my remaining 39 cards can have a combined cost of
up to 2605.
Now, if I add another card into the deck, the used capacity will increase
as well as the number of cards in the deck:

Dark Elf (Level 4)
A: 2000
D:  800
Has a cost of 319 (much more than BEWD, and is only level 4. The reason
for this high cost is that this card has a pretty high attack rating,
and can be played without any sacrifices.)

My Duelling level is 400, so I can use this card.

Capacity:  95/2700 Cards: 1/40 (Before)

Capacity: 414/2700 Cards: 2/40 (After)

And you carry this on until you have 40 cards with a capacity value
of 2700 or less.

-Increasing Duelling Points and Deck Capacity-

The only way to increase your Duelling points and deck capacity is to
duel. The more you duel, the more points you can accumulate, and you
can also use better cards. Different Duellists give you different
amounts of Duelling points; put simply, the better the duelest, the
larger the number of Duelling points you gain (most 'main' Duellists
give you 10 Duelling points whilst most others give you 5.)

-Getting Better Cards-

When you defeat an opponent, you get two or three things:
-Duelling Points
-Money
-A card (only if you 'bet' before the duel)

(Duelling points are explained above)

The money can be used to buy cards from the card shop (located near
the centre-bottom on the right hand side (Point '10' on 3.0 DM7 Map.)
In this shop is the store owner (behind the desk - usually), and
the card machine (which requires a 8-digit password to operate, and
if a correct password is entered, you can buy that card from the
shop owner.)
When you talk to the shop owner you will get two options:
         Buy                      Sell

-Buy-

If you select 'Buy' you will see a list of cards (which can be sorted
into different categories in the same way as in you're 'case'.) Each
card has a cost in money (listed in the top right corner in yellow.)
(The top white value is how much money you have, and the white value
below the 'price' is how much money you have after the purchase.)
To buy the selected card, press (A) and select the top option (the
middle shows you the card, and the bottom cancels.)(Note: You must
have enough money to buy the card, otherwise nothing will happen.)

-Sell-

The same as 'buy', except you gain money and lose a card instead of
the gaining a card and losing money.

-Card Machine-

The card machine is in the top right hand corner of the shop. When
you 'talk' to it you will be asked to enter an 8-digit code. If you
enter an incorrect code, nothing will happen. If you enter a correct
code, the card which you 'unlocked' will be available for purchase
from the shop owner.
(Note: For some of these passwords, look at the 8.0 Card Machine
Passwords.)

-Betting-

Another way of getting cards is by 'betting' one of your cards before
you duel. When you start a duel, you will see your 'case', a list of
your cards. Simply highlight the one you want to bet and press (A)
and select the top option (middle views the card, bottom cancels.)
(Note: You must have at least one card in stock to highlight and bet
that card. This means that the card must be in your case, and not in
your deck.)
(Note: The better the card you bet, the better the card you will win,
but remember, if you lose the duel, you lose the card you bet.)

-Restricted Card List-

Within DM7, there are a number of cards which are 'restricted', which
means you can have only 1 in your 'deck'. The Restricted cards are:

- Exodia the Forbidden
- Right Leg of the Forbidden One
- Left Leg of the Forbidden One
- Right Arm of the Forbidden One
- Left Arm of the Forbidden One
- Black Hole
- Thunder Bolt (Raigeki)
- Harpy's Feather Duster
- Change of Heart
- Pot of Greed
- Reborn the Monster

- Giant Storm (This card is 'semi'-restricted, meaning you can have up to
              2 of these cards in your deck.)

-Other Limitations-

Besides the 'restricted card list', there are several other limitations
to your deck:

- You cannot have more than 3 of any one card (the same number, different
 images count as a different card.)
- You cannot have cards worth more than your Duelling level
- You have a deck capacity, and you cannot go it

-Requirements-

A deck consists of 40 cards, no more, no less, if you have less you cannot
exit from the 'case' menu (it will not let you go over 40.) These 40 cards
can be either monster, magic, trap, equipment or ritual cards (remember
the limitations listed above.)

2.3.1 Deck Construction Workshop
--------------------------------

Now that I have explained what limitations there are when building a deck,
it's time to lay out some basic and advanced guidelines which will help
you build powerful and successful decks.
This section DOES NOT tell you what cards to put in your deck, thats your
choice, and I've given you plenty of hints throughout this guide, so you
can manage on your own, but it does share some useful and practical tips.

*Recommended Cards*

As I said above, I will not tell you all the cards that you should, and
should not have in your deck, instead I will SUGGEST some of the best
cards to have:

- Thunder Bolt
- Swords of Revealing Light
- Pot of Greed
- Reborn the Monster (Monster Reborn)
- Black Hole (AKA Dark Hole)
- Change of Heart

*Hints and Tips from the Experts*

------------------------------------------------
¦Monster cards are better than magic/trap cards¦
------------------------------------------------

In any deck, the most important cards you can, and should have are Monster
cards. This is simply because, no matter how strong your trap/magic cards
are, Monster cards are the only true way to defend your LP, and your true
way to defeating your opponent. (OK, you can use 'Direct' effect magic
cards to attack your opponent's LP, but you cannot hope to win with just
these cards.)

To prove my point:

Direct Effect Magic Cards:

Sparks          -  50 LP
Fireball        - 100 LP
Final Flame     - 200 LP
Giant Fire      - 500 LP
Flame's of Hell -1000 LP

You can have up to 3 of each of these cards in your deck, so:

Sparks          -  50 LP x 3 =  150 LP
Fireball        - 100 LP x 3 =  300 LP
Final Flame     - 200 LP x 3 =  600 LP
Giant Fire      - 500 LP x 3 = 1500 LP
Flame's of Hell -1000 LP x 3 = 3000 LP

Giving a grand total of: 5550 LPs worth of damage

Max. LP                   = 8000
Max. LP Damage (By DEMCs) = 5550
Remaining LP              = 2450

5 Cards can be held in your hand at once, and all these DEMCs total
15 cards, which means it would take at least 10 turns to deal this
amount of damage (5550), which could be done A LOT easier by having
high Attack rating level 4 cards, as they could do far more damage,
far quicker.

So you see, you cannot hope to win with just DEMCs (Direct Effect Magic
Cards), and this example assumes that you drew one after another, and
assumes that your opponent hasn't countered any of these, and also
assumes that your opponent hasn't attacked you whilst you were
attacking them.

As you can see, even ALL the DEMCs cannot hope to even begin equal the
power of Monster cards, let alone replace them.

----------------------
¦High lows, Low highs¦
----------------------

There is no point in having a deck with 30 level 8 cards with very high
Attack ratings, and only 10 level 4 (and below) cards as you will find
you cannot sacrifice enough cards to summon your level 8 cards, or even
worse, you cannot play any monster cards, which allows your opponent to
attack your LP directly, and defeat you faster than you can say:
"Yu-Gi-Oh". Really.
The best thing to do is have either a 2:1, or 3:1 ratio of cards (2 or
3 level 4 (and below) cards to every 1 level 5+ card), depending on
remaining magic cards (if you have Pot of Greed, you can use the 2:1
ratio, if not, better stick to the 3:1.)

----------------------
¦Magic and Traps Work¦
----------------------

Although I discreditted DEMCs above, I advise you to have a fair amount
of Magic and Trap cards in your deck. Although you cannot win with these
cards alone, they can play a pivotal role in defeating duellists with
Monster cards far more powerful than your own.
The best way to play it is to have 5-10 Magic/Trap cards, and the
remaining 30-35 cards should be Monster cards (both high level, and
low level.)

----------------------------
¦Ritual and Fusion Monsters¦
----------------------------

Ritual and Fusion monsters are best left to the experts. Although these
cards do have incredible Attack and Defence ratings (most of them), they
are extremley difficult to summon during an intense duel with an
experienced duellist, and often cause huge problems should your necessary
cards be eliminated.
The way to use these cards (if you choose to do so), is by ALWAYS having
a back-up plan. This plan can take the form of any counter-attack or
counter-defence strategy, which will (hopefully) put you back in a
strong duelling position.

Real Example:

You are trying to summon the Blue Eyes Ultimate (White) Dragon
with the 'Ultimate Dragon Ritual' card. You have 2 BEWDs on the field,
and 2 other level 4 Monsters, and are at a stalemate with your opponent
(who also has 2 BEWDs on the field.) You play Swords of Revealing Light
to save your 2 level 4 Monsters, and this is your last turn before it's
effect wears off:

------ ------
¦    ¦ ¦    ¦
¦BEWD¦ ¦BEWD¦                Opponent
¦    ¦ ¦    ¦
------ ------
***************************  4000 LP
***************************
***************************
***************************  4500 LP
------ ------ ------ ------
¦    ¦ ¦    ¦ ¦    ¦ ¦    ¦
¦BEWD¦ ¦BEWD¦ ¦Lv.4¦ ¦Lv.4¦  You
¦    ¦ ¦    ¦ ¦    ¦ ¦    ¦
------ ------ ------ ------
------
¦    ¦
¦SORL¦
¦    ¦
------

You draw Pot of Greed, and play it, and you draw 2 cards.
The 2 draw cards were:

- Ultimate Dragon Ritual
and
- Blue Eyes White Dragon

You sacrifice your 2 Lvl.4 Monster cards, and play BEWD.
You then sacrifice all 3 BEWDs, and play the 'Ultimate Dragon Ritual',
and summon the enormous power of BEUWD (4500/3800), and use it to
destroy one of your opponent's BEWDs. You are sure of certain victory,
opponent's turn:

------
¦    ¦
¦BEWD¦                       Opponent
¦    ¦
------
***************************  2500 LP
***************************
***************************
***************************  4500 LP
-------
¦     ¦
¦BEUWD¦                      You
¦     ¦
-------

Your opponent draws, and plays......Kuribo (550/400), and you laugh
your head of, and look at the ratings:

You: BEUWD  : 4500/3800
Opp: Kuribo :  550/ 400

Then. You remember, 'Black' beats 'Light'!, and guess what!? Kuribo
attacks, and eliminates BEUWD from the field! Now look whos laughing.

This really did happen, but thankfully I played another level 4 card,
which happened to also be a 'Black' card, that beat the Kuribo, the
remaining BEWD, and won the duel! But think what might have happened
if that level 4 card didn't come up, and that little Kuribo pounding
away at my LP (or being sacrificed for a stronger Monster card.)
I think you get the general idea.

-----------------
¦Ace in the Hole¦
-----------------

Also known as 'Trump Card', the 'Ace in the Hole' strategy is simple,
always have 1 or 2 cards which will get you out of any situation. Now,
this may sound easy, Thunder Bolt, and Dark Hole, but this is NOT what
I mean. Those two cards are involved, but this deck building strategy
does not revolve around these cards. To perfect this deck, you will have
to take the time to duel as many duellists as you can, and see if your
'Trump' card(s) come up in time to help you out. To put it simply, to
make this 'trouble-free' deck, just follow these instructions:

---------------------------------
¦Add 'Thunder Bolt' to your deck¦
---------------------------------
        Does it help?
         Yes / \ No
    ---------   ------------------
    ¦Keep it¦   ¦Try Another Duel¦
    ---------   ------------------
                  Does it help?
                    Yes / \ No
               ---------   ------------
               ¦Keep it¦   ¦Discard it¦
               ---------   ------------

---------------------------------
¦Add 'Dark Hole' to your deck   ¦
---------------------------------
        Does it help?
         Yes / \ No
    ---------   ------------------
    ¦Keep it¦   ¦Try Another Duel¦
    ---------   ------------------
                  Does it help?
                    Yes / \ No
               ---------   ------------
               ¦Keep it¦   ¦Discard it¦
               ---------   ------------

----------------------------------------------
¦Add 'Swords of Revealing Light' to your deck¦
----------------------------------------------
        Does it help?
         Yes / \ No
    ---------   ------------------
    ¦Keep it¦   ¦Try Another Duel¦
    ---------   ------------------
                  Does it help?
                    Yes / \ No
               ---------   ------------
               ¦Keep it¦   ¦Discard it¦
               ---------   ------------

etc.

It is best to try each card or cards in at least 2 duels (if not more),
to guage their true potential. Now although this process is EXTREMLEY
time consuming, it could be the best way to achieve YOUR perfect deck, I
say YOUR perfect deck because everybody has different ways of dealing with
different situations, and so will require very different cards (this is
why I will not tell you exactly what cards to use as this may not work
for you as well as it did for me.)

---------------------
¦The 'Forbidden' Win¦
---------------------

Another way you can build your deck, and some say the easiest (not in my
opinion) is to include all the Exodia and Ouijyan pieces, as well as Pot
of Greed. Now, although this strategy may be perfect (if you can assemble
all the pieces) for some, it does require A LOT of LUCK to draw all the
necessary cards, and to play them.
My advice to you on this subject is, don't use it! It works for so few
people, and even with those people, it doesn't work all the time, so I
advise you stick to more conventional '0 LP' win strategies.

-Fields and Field Cards-

When Duelling against main characters (and some normal ones) you may find
that the background looks different to the one you first saw at the
beginning, this means that you are Duelling in a 'field'.
'Fields' are areas which affect different monster cards differently,
sometimes increasing their 'base' attack and defence ratings, and
sometimes decreasing their 'base' attack and defence ratings. 'Fields'
can come into play in two ways;
- Someone plays a 'Field' Card
- You are in an arena with that type of field in play

The types of fields/field cards are as follows:

Forest      (Card #330)
Wasteland   (Card #331)
Mountain    (Card #332)
Meadow      (Card #333)
Ocean       (Card #334)
Yami (Dark) (Card #335)

Each field affects the main types of creatures (not elements). The
main types of creature are as follows:

Dragon
Warrior
Beast
Beast Warrior
Birds
Insect
Fish
Thunder
Rock
Spellcaster
Fiend
Dinosaur
Seaserpent
Water
Plant
Zombie
Angel
Reptile
Machine
Fire

Now, I put these two lists together to show you what has an advantage
or disadvantage in each field type:

Forest:
Insect        (Adv.)
Beast Warrior (Adv.)
Plant         (Adv.)
Beast         (Adv.)

Wasteland:
Rock          (Adv.)
Dinosaur      (Adv.)
Zombie        (Adv.)

Mountain:
Dragon        (Adv.)
Birds         (Adv.)
Thunder       (Adv.)

Meadow:
Warrior       (Adv.)
Beast Warrior (Adv.)

Ocean:
Fish          (Adv.)
Thunder       (Adv.)
Seaserpent    (Adv.)
Water         (Adv.)
Machine       (DisAdv.)
Fire          (DisAdv.)

Yami:
Spellcaster   (Adv.)
Fiend         (Adv.)
Angel         (DisAdv.)

(Note: Reptiles have no field (dis)advantages.)

sacrificing a specified Monster, and two other cards of your choice (or
two specified Monster cards, and one of your choice; or three specified
Monster cards.)

(Although I had more than enough using the above method.))

5.0 Main Duellists Walkthrough

Instead of squashing all this advice in 'Quick Walkthrough' section, I
decided to make this separate. The following is the easiest way to beat
each duelest, and the quickest. Please note that this section can spoil
the game for people who have not played it through at least once, so view
this section at your own discretion.

-Format-

As with just about everything else in this guide, I have a format for
this section to. It just makes it easier to read, neater, and easier on
fingers. So;

N: Name of Duelest
G: Gender of Duelest (doesn't really matter, but can help you to tell
  which one is which)
L: What they look like (again, to tell them apart)
C: What type(s) of cards this duelest uses (Their main type(s))
Y: What type(s) of cards you should use to beat this duelest
D: The difficulty level of this duelest (In my opinion)
@: Notes on this Duelest (if any)

-Duellists-

(The list of Duellists will be in the same order as they appear in the
'Quick Walkthrough' section.)

N: Tristin
G: Male
L: Black Hair, Black Clothes, outside 'Your Room'
C: Various
Y: Any
D: Very Easy
@: He uses pretty weak cards, simply duel him a few times, buy some better
  cards, and then duel him again, simple.

N: Bonez
G: Male
L: Creepy little guy, near, or in the 'Graveyard' area
C: Mainly Zombie & Evil
Y: Light (White), High attack
D: Easy

  'Pumpking', which has an 1800 Attack Rating (he has to sacrifice 1
  card in order to play it though.)

N: The 'Brothers' - Oldest
G: Male
L: Wears red, green hair, near, or in the 'Alley' area
C: Thunder
Y: Ground (DON'T USE WATER CARDS!)

  give you either Sanga of Thunder, or the Psycho Shocker, both pretty
  good Thunder type cards.

N: 'Caped Guy'
G: Male
L: Wears a cape! In the graveyard
C: Zombie, and Evil
Y: Light, high attack
D: Very Easy
@: No problem, simple as ABC.

N: Pandora
G: Male
L: 'Court Jester' sort of mask/face, in the Card Shop (1 off event)
C: Evil, and Black
Y: Light, also, you can use VERY strong black or evil cards, as
  they will get a field advantage (just like his)
D: Easy - Medium

  are 'Type' superior, and will defeat your Light cards, no matter the
  Attack or Defence ratings of either card (explained in an above
  section.)

G: Male
L: Red cap, black hair, near the tables and chairs
C: Earth, and Dinosaur
Y: Wind cards are pretty good, DON'T USE THUNDER OR FIRE CARDS

  stop him summoning his strongest card (Perfectly Ultimate Moth.)

C: Various, but mainly Dark and Evil
Y: Strong level 4 cards (with an attack rating of 1400+)

  this should be a pretty easy duel

N: Joey
G: Male
L: Wears blue, gold hair, in the Aquarium
C: Various
Y: Strong cards (and at least one strong Water type)
D: Easy-Medium
@: Pretty easy, but be careful if he summons the Flame-Swordsman. If this

L: Wears blue/white, has black hair, in the Aquarium (or the Harbour/
  Docks later on)
C: Water, and Fish
Y: Thunder

G: ???
L: Wears blue cloaks and hoods, located in various places
C: Mainly Black, and Evil
Y: Light, and Strong cards

  assemble it, you lose.

N: Bandit Keith
G: Male
L: Blue cape, gold hair, American flag bandana, in the Park (and later
  in the Harbour/Docks - 1 off events)
C: Various, mainly Machine types and some decent Magic Cards
  (Stop Defence etc.)
Y: Strong Cards, Water types and Harpy's Feather Duster (#672)
D: Medium-Hard
@: As you just saw, Keith has Zera the Mant, so make sure he doesn't
  complete the ritual, or you will be sorry! He mainly uses Machine
  type Monsters, so use the 'Ocean Field' card (#334), to give your
  Water types an advantage. (Be careful, he doesn't just use Machine
  type cards, so don't rely on the Field to give you the win.) When
  he plays several Magic cards, use the Harpy's Feather Duster to
  destroy them.

N: Mask of Light
G: Male
L: The short one, with a white half of a mask, and a purple cape
C: Light (and some Dark/Evil)
Y: Strong cards, 'Clearance' Magic cards, and Traps
D: Medium (Compared to Mask of Darkness)

  will be over very quickly.

N: Mask of Darkness
G: Male
L: The tall one, with a red half of a mask, and a purple cape
C: Dark/Evil (and some Light)
Y: Strong cards, but rely more on 'Clearance' Magic cards, and Traps

  stronger ones. Just use Traps, and 'Clearance' Magic cards. and this
  duel will end pretty quickly.

N: Bandit Keith (2)
G: Male
L: Same as 'Bandit Keith'
C: Stronger ones than last time (more Dark and Evil cards)
Y: Use Light cards, strong level 4 cards, and 'Clearance' Magic cards
D: Hard
@: Use Light type cards, and 'Clearance' Magic cards to destroy any
  Monster card(s) which you can't take out with one of your Monster
  cards.

N: Joey (Controlled by Malik)
G: Male
L: Same as 'Joey'
C: Mainly Rock and Warrior type cards
Y: Wind types are pretty good, DO NOT USE THUNDER TYPES
D: Medium
@: Make sure you 'bet' on this duel, as you will usually get the Red-Eyes
  Black Dragon.

N: Isis
G: Female
L: Woman wearing white, with gold jewellery, in the museum (1 off event)
C: Mainly Light (Angels) and other strong cards
Y: A 'Yami Field' card (#335), 'Black' cards, and strong cards
D: Medium-Hard

  both Attack and Defence, perfect.

N: Seto Kaiba
G: Male
L: Wears white, brown hair, in the museum (1 off event)
C: Various (quite a few Dragon types)
Y: Strong level 4 cards, and 'Dragon Capture Jar' (#329)
D: Medium-Hard
@: Play plenty of strong level 4 cards and stop Kaiba from sacrificing
  any cards to summon more powerful monsters (which will almost certainly
  defeat you.) Always keep about 2 strong level 4 cards in your hand, as
  Kaiba sometimes uses Black Hole, and Thunder Bolt to destroy your
  strong monsters. Also, make sure that you DO NOT let him have 3 BEWDs,
  or you are in for one hell of a fight (3 BEWDs = 3000/2500, 3 times,
  and that can become the BEUWD = 4500/3000!)

N: Malik Ishtal (Decoy)
G: Male
L: Big, bald guy with text written on the side of his face
C: Several strong cards (and a God card!)
Y: Strong level 4 cards, 'Clearance' Magic cards, and Traps
D: Medium
@: Play the strong level 4 cards, and hammer away at his LP. Use Traps
  when he plays his stronger cards. And use your God card before he
  uses his (when he plays his God card (Ra), you lose.)

N: Yami Yugi
G: Male
L: The 'other' Yugi, from inside his Millennium item. (Has some extra
  gold strands in his hair, nothing special)
C: Black cards, and Illusion cards (mainly Spellcaster types)
Y: Evil cards, Illusion cards, Strong level 4 cards, and Traps
D: Medium-Hard
@: Simply play either an Evil or Illusion card to counter his Black and
  Illusion cards. Be careful for Yugi's classic trick, Swords of
  Revealing Light (#348), Brain Control (#781), and his Dark Magician.
  (Make sure you 'bet' on this duel, as you will most likely get the
  Dark Magician, a useful Dark Spellcaster type.)

N: Final Duel - Malik Ishtal
G: Male
L: 'Possessed' White Haired guy, with a golden staff/rod
C: Various (Very strong cards + God Card - Ra)
Y: Both God cards you have, White cards, Illusion cards, 'Clearance'
  Magic cards and Harpy's Feather Duster (Rarely needed, but can turn
  the tables in your favour
D: Hard-Very Hard (Or Easy if you very strong level 4 cards)
@: This is the last duel, so you don't have to 'bet' any cards, because
  you cannot use what you win. When Malik has 5 Trap cards placed in his
  'slots', use Harpy's Feather Duster, and if he uses Monster cards
  which are too powerful for your current Monster(s), use Swords of
  Revealing Light, and wait until you get the cards you need (or use
  'Clearance' Magic cards instead.)(Note: You have 2 God cards to his 1,
  this should be a simple duel.)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

6.0 Gaming Tips

The following are just general tips which can help you to build better
decks, and to perform better in any duel.

- Always have more level 1 - 4 cards than level 5 cards, and more level 5
 cards than level 6+ cards, otherwise you will find you cannot play any
 cards directly on the field, and as a result, your opponent can attack
 your LP directly.

- Use Trap cards. Traps are one of the best ways to beat opponents with
 Monster cards that are much stronger than yours, and can also help
 deter enemies from using magic cards (such as Thunder Bolt.)

- Use Magic cards. Magic cards are also pretty useful as they can be used
 to clear the field of any unwanted monster(s) (both yours and your
 opponents.) Also, you can clear enemy Traps with cards such as the
 Harpy's Feather Duster.

- Fusion Cards are pretty useful, but are not advised to be used by
 people new to the game, as they take time to setup, and perform, and
 a backup plan is always needed should your opponent destroy a necessary
 card.

- Save, save, and save again. Saving saves a lot of stress and frustration
 should you lose a duel, and lose a good card which was 'bet'. This is
 only really essential on your first time through the game, because on
 the second and later times through, you will know how to beat each
 duelest easily, and without losing (or you could just follow this
 guide.)

- Duel, duel, and duel again. As with saving, Duelling is another essential
 thing for when you first go through the game. Not only does it give you
 more money to buy better cards with, but it gives you Duelling points
 which allow you to use these better cards, as well as an increased deck
 capacity to store these better cards with. On the second, and later
 times through the game, you can duel less, and less to make it more of
 a challenge (as this game is too simple in my opinion.)

- Elements are one of the biggest considerations to be made when making a
 deck. Remember, even a card with an Attack rating of 0 can defeat a
 card with an Attack or Defence rating higher than that (even 5000+!) so
 long as it is of an opposing element or type (see above for details)

- Defence mode is extremely useful as it can make your enemy lose LP (if
 their Attack rating is less than your card's Defence rating), and should
 your card be weaker, you do not lose any LP! (But be careful not to rely
 on this too much, as their are cards such as 'Stop Defence' which can
 stop this from working.)

7.0  Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

This section of the guide is concerned with what a lot of people have had
problems with, whether related or unrelated to this guide. Here I will try
and help to clear up any misconceptions people might have of or about the
game and/or events within the game.

Q: What is a 'Clearance' Magic card?
A: As it's name suggests, it is a Magic card which 'clears' the field
  (of Monster cards.) Examples include: Black Hole, Thunder Bolt, and
  the Crush Card.

8.0 Card List

Like many people, I cannot read Japanese, but after playing the Yugioh
DM games, I have come to understand what everything does, but not the
actual meanings of the words. As a result, this section of the guide will
take the most amount of time as I will have to look up every single card,
and then write them down! A long task, but if it will help both you and
me, then it's worth it. To make things easier, I won't bother writing
about the cards description, as this will take me even longer, and I do
have other things to do (after looking at the length of this guide you
probably don't think so, but I do.)
As you have come to expect with this guide, I have a format for this
section as well!
