Deck Construction official rules...
Page 34 of the rule book states: A deck must contain at least 40 cards. You will have a better chance of drawing certain cards if you keep you deck around 40 cards. You can also only have 3 of tyhe same cards in your deck, this includes your Side Deck.
Construction hints....
Keep you monster card and Magic/Trap card ratio at 1 : 1. If you don't draw any monsters, then you won't be able to defemnd yourself.
Keep the number of high level creatures to a minimum...
In my decks, I ussually never have above 5 high level monsters. It is harder to play higher level monsters due to their tribute costs.
Don't forget about the effect monsters
Effect monsters like Hane-hane can add to your strategies and can off-set your opponent!
Include cards that increase you ability to draw
In this game, the more cards you have the better you will do. Therefore, add cards like Pot of Greed which will allow to draw extra cards!
Cards that will strengthen every deck....
Raigeki
Pot of Greed
Monster Reborn
Change of Heart
Dark Hole

Hints from me....
Try to make decks with a theme...
If you look at most of my decks, you'll see that they all have theme like Warriors, Dragons, or Zombies. While it is perfectly fine to make a deck consisting of your favoriite creatures, themes will be able to stragthen it. Making a theme deck allows your cards to work better together, benefit from effects, and can often exploit a weakness of your opponent.
