Lessons on how to play like the GOAT
https://youtu.be/jM5Ez_cvEF8
Yu-Gi-Oh has been around since 1999. Now most of us remember Yu-Gi-Oh from our childhood, Blue eyes white dragon and Dark magician were one of our firsts decks. Over the years Yu-Gi-Oh has evolved so much that most players can’t even decipher these cards.
Well, I took it upon myself to do the judge test and learn all the rules inside out so you don’t have to.
Throughout this series, I’ll be explaining and breaking down how to read and understand card effects.
Each episode will be an In-depth expiation of how to properly read your cards.
Every YouTube video will be linked to the blog, on the video, I explain the topic as simple as possible, and on the blog, we look at it in a Meta related scenario.
You can find my youtube channel under: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC32Pw-pWUK04nKeF6jzKmFg
Episodes: We will be starting with the absolute basics and then gradually adding more complex topics, so there’s a little for everyone. From those who just sated playing again to players who have been in the game since day one. The list is in chronological order, each episode is a build on from the last, working from top to bottom. e
Colon / Semicolon (Beginners)
This is the absolute basics, understanding what the difference between the symbol Colon and Semicolon is even, here ill be explaining how this affects your card effect, and what you can chain too, to impact the card on resolution.

Here you can find your lesson and entrance exam.
Effect Summons / Built-In Summons (Beginner-Intermediate)
There are two different summon rules, to the one you can chain card effects and the other you can’t chain. Here I’ll be explaining in depth what this exactly means. Well by taking examples of old school cards so it’s easier to break down. Towards the end of the video, we look at cards that have specific timing into when you can chain.
Conjunction Function (Intermediate-Expert)
There are four keywords hidden in cards texts that can weaken the effect of the card if chained too properly. Breaking down these four words into separate sections and understanding what they even mean and how this affects the gameplay. Now, this is one of the hardest parts of Yu-Gi-Oh, it’s also not something that is explained in the official rule book, understanding these codes is vital in knowing what to do as your next move.
Spell Speed / Chaining (Beginner-Intermediate)
Lastly, we will be looking at What is spell speed and what can I chain and HOW do I even chain properly. For those who haven’t been playing in the new Meta, this can be very confusing, chaining isn’t explained properly and this is one of the main functions of the game. So we will learn what can I chain and HOW I chain correctly.
Hopefully by the end of this cards like these will look a lot less intimidating.
Tips and Short Vids:
This will be a series of short videos that go a little more into the depths of certain topics.
Damage step:
Now, this is something one would think that you’d understand but did you know there are 5 steps in the damage step alone? This can be very intimidating for new players, so ill be going over this very briefly and just explaining the different scenarios.
Chain Blocking:
As motioned above Chaining is a vital part of the game, and will be talking about chain blocking, how this is done properly and how this can save your card effects from going through properly.
Exposing Metta cards:
After understating all the separate parts of the card effects we can move on to exposing cards that seemed so impossible to get past look like small little bumps.
Preparing for a tournament:
Everything you’d ever need to know before going to your first tournament. How to prepare yourself, what equipment to take with you, and overall what to expect there.

The Judge test and what’s required:
For those who want to do the judge test here is everything you need to know.
Before you do anything you need to have a KONAMI ID, this is a card you can get at any Official KONAMI card trading shop, you can also sign up online under: https://my.konami.net/index.html
But it is advised to get a card and you WILL need one if you ever want to take part in an official tournament.
After creating an account and connecting your card you will receive your COZZY ID, with this you can take the entry test: Rulings Comprehension Level 1 (RC-1) Here is the link to the KONAMI official judge page: https://img.yugioh-card.com/uk/gameplay/detail.php?id=783
All the rules you need to pass this test are under: https://www.yugioh-card.com/en/rulebook/index.html?_ga=2.31663481.696144629.1648894264-1771868549.1633595712
It is recommended to take the: Policy Comprehension Level 1 (PC-1) test as well, this looks better on your resume if you ever want to judge at a tournament.
Now the entry test you can take as many times as you want, however the last test you can only take once and it’s in-person NOT online.
This blog is dedicated to the too official rules of the card game KONAMI and hopefully, you learn a little more about them.
I hope by the end of this I could give you something to take with you and make Yu-Gi-Oh look less scary and confusing.
