Supplies of a Competitive Duelist Obviously, a top notch duelist needs a deck. Included should be some reasonably "Staple"-ish cards (Ring, MST, or Breaker maybe) as well as some kind of personal flair. Choose a deck that fits your playing style, it will make the game much more fun. Refer back to my previous articles for examples on how to choose and build a deck. I highly suggest, though it isn't absolute necessary, nor guarenteed to work, but music can help immensly. A quick, choppy track to start with, say "Eye of the Tiger" gets you ready for the battle ahead, and softer tunes after that, "Perfect", "She Will Be Loved", to keep yourself from getting angry. However, you may want to change songs every once in a while, using the same songs over and over again can make them lose their effect. Among the other items a duelist should have our a calculater, a waterbottle, and a rule book. A calculater to keep track of life points. THis is easier than doing it on paper, but more reliable then in your head. A water bottle to keep you focused on the duel, not the heat. A rule book, or clarifications, to solve any mid-duel conflicts. A duelist should also have supplies for trading, a binder or card box, penny cases, and top loaders are all good examples. A binder to store your cards. Penny cases to protect your cards, and top loaders for special trades. So, in conclusion, carry: - Deck, Staples and Flair included - CD player, soft and quick music, preferably a mix CD - Calcualter, 9 # spots - Waterbottle - Rule book and if you can make trades: - Binder(s) - Penny cases - Toploaders |

If you're going to use a calculator, keep a written log of every single Life Point change. Even if your opponent is doing it, too. |

Yes, for just because your opponent is keeping track of LP, you should to for he/she could make a mistake. Also, on teh music thing I have never tried that before. I just think of phrases or quotes or I just "go with the flow" before a duel. |

well covered Kyp. it would be wise to keep written logs, just for personal memory of what happened. i believe we've both found that graphing calcs work very well, as some may have a built-in probabilty program *points to own calc* that can flip coins, roll dice, etc. |

Cool, mine has been passed down from sibling to sibling and I am surprised that it still works. I honestly don't think a water bottle is neccessary though...... |

not in the winter, but now, it is a good idea, esp. if ur outside or someplace warm. u don't want to be dueling in 100+ weather and not have a drink anywhere nearby |

The air conditioning in my local card shop was broken two weeks ago. I wish I'd had a water bottle. |
