I keep hearing a lot about battling online and I was wondering how that works... I mean is it video, or just people saying what they put out Sorry to be noobish but I'm trying to get the hang of this place

well there used to be Lackey system, but I don't think it's been upgraded with Set 3 cards yet.

the usual way to duel online is to use some kind of IM system and just type out your turns. this can be done with MSN/Yahoo/AIM or the hosting site "chatzy"
