There are also five One Hundred Club players – Ronaldo, Fabregas, Ferdinand, Torres and Cech. These also overlap with the ‘basic’ 18 cards. And then there are some Ltd Ed. cards too, which again overlap with the ‘basic’ 18.

But to get back to the question, to be honest, I’m struggling a little to find out about the ratios of MOTM etc cards per pack. You might find that if you really really want a particular card that your best bet is to cut your losses and just go and purchase it directly. You could try our Match Attax cards pages.

The same is true for cards – they depend on the style of deck you play.

As to the fusion deck; Mmm… I wouldn’t recommend it, as fusion falls easily to control decks that specialize in cleaning the play area of monsters (and if you wait with the fusion material in hand until you can play the fusion monster, they’ll simply knock that off).

That said, if you have monsters, which could be material for fusion, be sure to bring a fusion deck – you may not plan on using it, but your opponent doesn’t know that! Bring also your best poker face!

You absolutely need to run a side deck, and will refine that with time. In the long run, it should include cards that normally aren’t quite good enough for your deck, but particularly useful against decks that you know can give your regular deck trouble. It’s all about game experience at the end of the day. Rome wasn’t built in a day etc.

At the end of the day, you want to:

Do the most damage with the least amount of cards;

Use versatile cards with effects that can be used for multiple purposes.

If you do that with a clear strategy your are sure to win… well probably!

Wrt the game, Yugioh is based on of the hit television show with the same name. Characters build decks of cards (min. 40 cards) and play against other people in order to become the best, or the King of Games. In order to understand how to play the game, perhaps watching the show isn’t the best place to start – the strategies are based on incorrect interpretation of the cards.

The cards are divided into three categories: monsters, spells, and traps. Each type of card has different rules and different sub-types, but I’ll only cover the basics.

Monsters can be placed on the field in one of two ways: Face-up and vertical (this is a Summon), or face-down horizontal (this is a Set). You are allowed only one Normal Summon or Set per turn, unless a card effect allows you extra summons (called Special Summons). You are also allowed to flip face-down monsters face-up (called Flip Summons). You are allowed unlimited Special and Flip Summons, as long as you have monster zones available.

Spell cards can be played straight from your hand. Each card will affect others and, most of the time, the card is sent to the graveyard after the effect resolves.

Trap cards have to be played face-down for one turn before they can activate. They have effects that trigger to a certain action, or allow additional actions. They are mostly used to prevent your opponent from doing certain things. For example, if your opponent summons a monster from his/her hand (Normal Summon), and you have Trap Hole face-down on the field, you can activate Trap Hole by flipping it face-up as soon as your opponent plays the monster. Then his monster is destroyed. Result!
