Here are some things you should know if your new to the game.
- To start you should get a starter deck they sell for around $10 and make a good first deck.
- Avoid buying packs more often then not you wont get the cards you want.
- Know what your cards are worth. Just because a card is shiny doesn't mean it is good. You don't want to end up trading a $30 card for a $5 card. This is the link to a good website for finding the value of your cards: http://yugico.com/.
- It is an extremely good idea to use card sleeves. Even the thin sleeves make a huge difference in the condition of your cards. I did not use sleeves when I started out and some of my cards are now in bad condition as a result.
- Other supplies to have on hand: a coin, a six sided die, some counters (flat marbles, pennies, paperclips,etc.), something to keep track of life points (paper and pencil, calculator, app),
