Bandai obviously has all that already made into a database of some sort, so they can easily use that.

In my opinion a single person with sufficient Flash coding knowledge and experience can do the whole thing. There are thousands of Facebook games made by individuals that are much more complex than what is necessary for this. It's not necessary to start from scratch, there are some great free game engine platforms that can be used. It's more about it being time consuming rather than difficult, especially to implement all the rulings, if they should be automated and not left in the hands of the players themselves (which could work OK as well and would be much easier to do).
u have obviously never played on dueling network...u do everything ur self. the mechanics/effects dont actually have to be rembered
