how do i win in PVP i lose like 99% of the time

[waxpants]

it seems like 9 out of 10 people are able to summon 2K+damge monsters in the second turn and wipe me by the 5th turn who do they even find these combos when the card effects are so hard to understand

You think this is bad? Duel links is the simplified yugioh. In original, you couldmake a deck where your entireturn wouldlast 20 minutes

That seems more on your inability to read than the game itself or its competitive playerbase.

A lot of the cards do have long effect descriptions, but they're not hard to understand.

So I'll say to you what I say to everyone else who makes a complaint thread like this:

Don't play PvP if you aren't prepared or can't handle what you'll fight against

Take it from someone who has played with game since '04.

Yes it's hella complicated at times. They actually had to go and simplify the card texts (problem solving) for a ton of old cards to bring them up to modern standard. In some cases this seems to have been forgotten though. Once instance are cards that refer to "banishing" or "removing from play". Those are exactly the same thing but they didn't update the old stuff with the "banish" text.

Yu-Gi-Oh! is needlessly complicated, no disagreement there. But worth learning if one doesn't get too intimidated.

It took me 10 bloody years to learn the difference between "if" and "when". So yeah, you are in good company.

troll people with madolche like I do.

I don't win very much but its hilarious when I do.

Yugioh is reliant on your knowledge of certain grammatical and punctuatiobal rules. So if you can't grasp that you might as well start learning through it.

Yugioh is also more interactive than any other card game thanks to trap cards(hand traps and quickplays too)..

Another factor is just understanding cards and how they interact.

You just have to study, like anything else in this world.

Does Madolche and Exodia work together well?

Try checking any yugituber video, not the best way to learn but it can help you to understand how those decks work.

I wouldn't think so.

Madolche is about keeping you from decking out while exodia needs to be searched for. I don't picture constant shuffling would benefit an exodia strat.

Spend all your Gems on a Fur Hire deck. They've been meta for a while and are pretty safe even after they got nerfed.

Also, as Yugi once said in Pyramid of Light, there's more to power than just ATK points. Wall of Disruption and Enemy Controller are staples for a reason

Find warrior cards with good effects, and spell cards that increase attack of your warriors.
Also, you need to understasnd english pretty good, so you can read card effect your enemy put out there on the field. This game is not easy, especially in PvP.
