Yu-Gi-Oh | Learn The Basics

------------------------------------------------------
Xenon, your amount of monsters may need at least 1 more.

A Preferable deck requires at least 20 monsters, 10 spells, and 10 traps.

But that also depends on how you play, like if you are a person who utilizes spells or traps to get more monsters on the field, or just increase the attack.

The combinement of the new Xyz monsters are a good add-on, if you need them.

I, myself have a blackwing deck from the version of 5ds only. I haven't lost against the cpu's just yet, I have beaten them all with the deck so far, lets just hope I don't lose with my Shooting Star Dragon, Black-Winged Dragon, Red Nova Dragon, and my 3 Egyptian God cards. :/

Deck Balance

The balance of a deck is key to winning a duel, or even to get a good starting hand.

Here is a example of how a deck should seem:

Monster Card # - 20
Spell Card # - 10
Trap Card # - 10
(Extra Deck is optional up to 15, I would recommend at least 1-2 of each level monster) - 15

If you use the recommendations above, you have a lesser chance of drawing a bad hand of no monsters, spells, or trap cards.

Your starting hand is (at least I think) the most important part of a duel since from there, everything just goes.

Deck Stability

There really isn't much of a difference for Deck stability in relation to deck balance. But, the stability requires what groups of cards you use in your deck. Such as Xenon uses mostly blackwing monsters with cards that relate to their type to succeed in combo effects.
