Hello and welcome to Deck Help. Just for varification this is NOT a deck garage of any sort. This is only an article about deck contruction.
Deck design and contruction is like that of building design and contruction. You need to plan out what you want to build in advance, what themes you are going to run, what you want the main winning method to be is.
When you have a theme that you believe will do well, think what cards will help bring out the winning card or cards. If you are relying on beatdown, think of cards that will protect your monsters and allow you to summon them.
I.E. If you are planning on running a Cyber-Stein deck, thinkof the big cards that will get you the win. The most common monster for Cyber Stein would be Master of Oz. Next you pick support spells that allow you to win. Megamorph, My Body As a Shield, and spell/ trap/ monster destruction are the main cards you'll want to use. Along with some draw and regeneration. And finally how do you plan to get Cyber-Stein out? Sure the onld Magical Scientist method may work, but run a few Mystic Tomatoe's and you'll get him out easy.
Now that you have though of some support cards, do a card search for even more support cards. Use the method, look for what's the best 2 for 1 card advantage cards over the 1 for 1 or less than that that go with your theme first. You'll be wanting the best support.
I.E. If you're running 8 out of 15 monsters that are Warriors, run some Reinforcements of the Army to get them into your hand faster.
Even if the cards you pick may not be favored by most people, they may still work out in the deck theme.
Consider what to go with your deck that you plan to build before you build it so that you know 100% of what you want to build when you do finally construct your deck.
