BUILDING A Yu-Gi-Oh / Yugioh CARD DECK & Yu-gi-oh Pictures
We recommend starter decks. From there you can improve your deck and "personalize" it. The MINIMUM limit for number of cards in a deck is 40 cards. That is you MUST have 40 cards. There is no MAXIMUM, but it's best to keep the count below 50 so, when drawing, you can get through your cards quicker -- if you can't get to your cards, you can't play them. You can also have a 15 card "side" fusion deck, but this a bit advanced for this tutorial. Besides, you can be VERY competitive without using fusion decks.

Yu-Gi-Oh / Yugioh Cards and more on the MONSTER CARDS
In Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters they're three main card types, monster cards, magic cards, and trap cards.  Monster cards are the basic cards used to deal damage to and attack your opponent.  Monsters are labeled four different ways: Normal monster, Effect monster, Polymerization monster, and Ritual monster. Monsters are then categorized with a main-type and sub-types (called type and attribute) They're 6 different types and 20 different attributes. Also, Each monster will have different numbers of stars depending on its overall strength.

Yu-gi-oh Pictures & Yu-Gi-Oh / Yugioh Monster Cards with 1 through 4 stars may be summoned without a tribute. Monsters with 5 through 6 stars require 1 tribute to summon and if a monster is 7 through 8 stars it requires 2 tributes. By the way, a tribute is a sacrifice of a monster under your control and already on the playing field. The basic idea is that you have to give up a weaker monster to summon a stronger monster.

Yu-Gi-Oh / Yugioh Monster Types are Earth, Water, Light, Fire, Dark, Wind; and the sub-types are Dragon, Warrior, Spellcaster, Zombie, Animal Warrior, Beast-Warrior, Beast, Winged-Beast, Fiend, Fairy, Insect, Fish... and so on. The basic point here is that many magic and trap cards operate only on certain monster types and sub-types. 

Yu-Gi-Oh / Yugioh Cards -- the Effect Monsters: These are important! 
Monsters that have magical effects on the game itself are called and clearly marked "effect monsters". Either when they directly summoned, flipped, destroyed, etc. they have an effect. 

Yu-Gi-Oh / Yugioh Trap Cards:  Trap cards generally have effects that are to be used during your opponent's turn (trapping him). To be used, the Trap cards must have been set on the field -- they cannot be used directly from your hand.  Like magic cards, trap cards are of multiple types: Normal Trap Cards (single use) and Permanent (they stay on the field until destroyed).
