GX is also a great way to start. Fusion is important here, but while the Fusion mechanics are a little out of date, the series is pretty solid and has a lot of great decks.
5D's is also a great starting point, but Synchro Summoning might be a bit overwhelming at first. As the series goes on, it'll show you all the complex combos and ladder-climbing you can do to pull off some great stuff.
Zexal also exists. It spams Xyz continuously, but the duels are simple enough for a newbie to get into. There are also a lot of fun duels in this series, though the second half sacrifices duel quality for storytelling.
