How to take up yugioh in ireland

nomad33

Hi guys,

I've decided to take up yugioh again. I was a fan as a kid and now college is finished I want to take it up properly. Anyone got any advice on how to do so such as:

• Where can I buy cards
• Where can I find the latest info for events
• etc

Dublin/Carlow are my closest big areas.

Thanks guys,

Go-Go-Gadget does tournaments in Dublin.

Best place to buy single cards is probably the internet (places like Troll and Toad). Places like Forbidden Planet sell packs.

If your looking for cards in Dublin, GamersWorld near the Jervis St Luas stop has a few packs lying around. Also try SubCity on Exchequer St, off Georges St.

As for getting games in, do PM Go-Go Gadget, he usually has one or two events running a month in Dublin City Centre on the weekends.

Alot, with xyz monsters and synchros. Iv been playing with friends on and off the past year or so but our old decks from when yugioh first started sucked compared to newer ones. You need to start from the ground up pretty much I get all my singles from amazon but packs in forbidden planet and gamers world

every time i take a game (or come back to a game) i follow the next list-- i'll be using MTG as reference, as i recently came back and this is more or less what i did-- i'm, also, guessing you intend to go to sanctioned tournaments:

- read the rules and choose which tournament format you want to follow-- usually, standard tournaments (most recent cards' expansion) is the easiest entry point--

- check the current net-decks and look for "budget builds" type of posts in forums-- most likely they use more or less the same engine but with much cheaper fuel cards

- buy yourself 50+50 sleeves to protect your deck-- buy a card binder to protect your rare cards and and keep them mint for future trades-- buy a few 9-pocket sleeves and a folder to hold your collection in mint condition

- look for a few websites that sell singles-- while checking the decks, build several wish-lists, each with the deck you intend to build-- i tend to move to higher priority the lists that have more cards from the newer sets (or sets that won't be rotated out that quickly)

- on those lists, while looking at your most-wanted-sets, you can buy boxes and/or boosters to fill in common/uncommon slots and to get yourself a few cards to mess around with--

- as you play more, you'll understand which cards you need (and why) and once you think you should be using 4 copies (and have only 1) i would try to trade, then get the singles (if it's proving too hard to get the cards)

TLDR-- get card sleeves and a binder-- read about the format you want to play and build proxy-decks-- buy boosters to fill in proxy-slots-- buy singles when you're comfortable with both deck performance and you're sure that's the engine you want to be playing
