best gen 1 yugioh deck to make in What is currently the best deck I can use as a beginner to 'new' yugioh and actually win some? : r/masterduel including his initial Duel with Seto Kaiba. The Best Nostalgic Yu-Gi-Oh! Card

Counters are a resource you spend from your hand, separate from blocking (which uses a Character on your board)

Deck 7.5 24 Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon Fusion Monster Effect Monster - 12 Dragon 4500 3800 "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" + "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" + "Blue-Eyes White Dragon"At the end of the Damage Step, if this is the only face-up card you control, and this Fusion Summoned card attacked: You can send 1 "Blue-Eyes" Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck to the Graveyard

The card, while good in Pioneer, is not banworthy and only sees play in a few specific decks, like Izzet Phoenix
