I'd say you're looking good, especially with that Black Luster Soldier over there, it always upset me how no one drops it in vanilla Forbidden Memories, its design is simply stellar to me, and with respectable stats too, not to mention that iconic scene where Yugi beats Mai in Duelist Kingdom by summoning it, with that beautiful OST and all.

I'm quite fond of the Duel Monsters series that began all the way back on the original GameBoy, it was probably the 1st major series before World Championship took over, and even then it's sort of a precursor to those. I don't know why, but while I do enjoy the more in depth RPG that came in the GBA and DS, the simplicity of the earlier titles appeals to me, most specifically the tier system that they all shared until Duel Monsters 6/Stairway to the Destined Duel changed things up. I've managed to complete Duel Monsters 1 and Duel Monsters 3/Dark Duel Stories, and while I would like to play the other GameBoy Color ones they don't seem to have a translation, so the last one in this system I'm such a fan of is Duel Monsters 5/Eternal Duelist Soul, I've decided to give it a go and apparently it's one of the most popular ones, so I know it'll be good either way. So far it's going quite smooth, especially since the requirement to advance in tiers isn't 5 wins like before, at least in earlier tiers, and my deck is shaping up well. Still, I know many have way more experience with this particular installment with me, is there anything I should have in mind before going forward with this? What advice is crucial to get the most out of the experience? What am I in for?
