Help Me Teach My Wife How to Play Yu-Gi-Oh
My wife (F32) learned how to play Yu-Gi-Oh over the last couple of years and still has some questions that I'm having difficulty explaining because it feels so default for me at this point. To give some background, I (m34) have played Yugioh off and on for all 25 years of its life. I have a pretty good grasp of the game and made my best advances in 2009 - 2011 Synchro Formats.
So I feel like I have a pretty adaptable playstyle and combo understanding. It feels like it essentially boils down to a game experience and skill issue, but she still wants to learn how to play and enjoy our shared hobby of collecting and dueling. We only really duel each other anymore, and I have a pretty good array of decks: White Forest, Magnets, X-Sabers, Orcust, Sword Soul, Tearlaments ready to go. She likes and is trying to learn Purrely, Fire King, and Voiceless Voice.
My question boils down to just three points; if anyone can help, I would appreciate it!
- What are some ways to better explain link summoning, chain blocking, and inherent vs effect summons?
- She learns by watching and watched YouTube in the background at work a lot, so what Yugi-Tubers could I direct her towards, or that we could watch together, to help her better understand the game and how to play? She mainly wants to learn how to play Voiceless Voice well.
- What deck could I pick up that you enjoy which may be softer versus Voiceless Voice, but still fun to play and give her some competition? I'm thinking Virtual World?
Thank you, duelists!
