Building an old deck

[Ⱇⱃⰰⱀ iliti Вран]

I've used to watch Yugioh as a child 24/7, and kinda quit during the 5ds. But, I picked it up once again and I've been curious; could an old deck work against all these new monsters? I am well aware of the fact I'll have to watch the episodes to understand new cards and their effects as well how to counter them, but I'm simply curious if a deck made from old cards could work? A deck I used to always play was a Pyro deck from GX era, which contained Raging Spirit, Gravity Bind and pretty much any fire damage booster you could imagine. Could such a deck still work? I got the idea for my deck back in Tag Force game.
Cheers.

You can build a fun deck that is playable around that strategy, but it will be inferior to high tier decks. An advice: Since they are easy to summon adding some xyz-monsters with effects that fit into your strategy should strengthen your deck. I can´t recommend watching the anime for rules ( only for entertainment :D), because especially in the older episodes most effects were very different from the TCG effects.

Of course, if I were to remember the way Joey used his monsters, I'd be more than disappointed if Skull Dice didn't divide enemy's attack points by 6 or so, but I get your point. I started watching the episodes for fun, but also hoping to get the idea of how the new cards work and stuff like that.
Thanks for the advice tho, I'll keep it in mind. I assume I can get those cards from GX Chazz Princeton?

no. that deck would be far too slow and gimmicky too work against anything modern. gravity bind doesnt work on XYZ monsters, which are the most common type that people tend to use now a days and almost every form of removal or stun will hit spirit a bit too hard.

gimmicky decks based around 1 card are hard to update with modern cards since you're hoping for a bunch of pyro support, which there is but its also dated at this point and doesnt help counter the current meta.

if you played tag force then maybe you remember tele-dad? thats probably the only deck from that era that i think would stand any chance now since theres been tons of dark support that is still relevant now a days.

EDIT: im not saying dont do it because its still a fun deck to play with but just be aware of you're strengths and weaknesses against other decks and try to add cards to help with that.

I see, I really appreciate the comment, and it is just as I figured out, much too new content for the time being. I plan on following the story campaign based on how far I am with the episodes which is going to take a while, but I'm more tham happy to take stuff step by step.

I think I will avoid PvP for the time being, until I get to see all the new stuff episodes have brought. I am actually really enjoying using my old deck, although it saddens me a bit I've yet to find most of the cards I used to have. Currently my deck is at a bit of advantage because monster/spell ratio is 1:5 or so, but I don't think I've lost any single player duel with it so far.

I was hoping to chat with an expert some time once I get a bit more cards to help me make my deck a bit more viable and better suited for the meta, but all in its due time I guess.
Once again, thank you for the comment, I really appreciate it.

you should play the the story with whatever deck you feel most comfortable using. if you get around to the challenges you'll find that you need to improve a bit to win and pvp is just another step up from there.

the pacing is pretty good in this game and i think you have the right idea with taking your time about it. maybe take some time to experiment with the example decks, this game has pretty good tutorials on how mechanics work, each era introduces a new style of play. persoanlly, i like synchros and pendulums the best but you may find one that adds extra power to your current deck or even introduces you to something you may prefer. playing a couple different decks may even teach you about a card you didnt know about for your current deck.

as for meta stuff, everybody has different playstyles and likes to use different types of cards. you just have to play around and see what screws you most often. if monster effects are causing you to lose, then add cards like breakthrough skill and fiendish chain. if spell and traps are getting you down then add more cards like mystical space typhoon. its just balancing your strengths and weaknesses. but you cant go wrong with good old solemn strike, thats just my opinion though ;)

good luck with your deck, and hope i was helpful to some degree.
