Really *weird* places for a Step...
Re: Not Weird in the "totally off the wall" sense.
I've tried to watch Yu-Gi-Oh! and quite honestly, I couldn't. It affects me much like Pokemon does -- which is to say, I'd rather switch to Jerry Springer or Dr. Phil. (Bleccch.) Now, the manga may be radically different, and not bug the hell out of me, but I have no idea. I suppose I ought to look for it next time I'm in Borders or Kinokuniya, as I seem to recall spotting an English-language version.
The translated manga is up to volume 4 in the US; which kinda sorta overlaps with the first episode of the dubbed anime. (In the manga, it's a rematch with Kaiba, which he makes Yugi really work for with a series of deathtrap games.) The first four, possibly five volumes establish the main characters and why we should root for them. They also showcase just how ruthless "the Yugi within Yugi" is.
I've been running twisted synopses of the manga chapters on my Livejournal www.livejournal.com/users/skjam that might amuse some readers. There's only a tiny bit of card games so far.

Not to mention coming up with a theme deck for him.

Ah, well, there I'm clueless.

There's the "Toon World" card of course, but in the manga/anime it's a "broken" card owned only by one player. (Fortunately, he's the man who designed the modern-day version of the card game, so he can declare the card legal for his tournament.)
