Trying to get into vanguard

Yo! I've been wanting to get into a TCG, and vanguard looks like a lot of fun, however, I have no local community where I live (Latin America).

My question is: are DD or DD2 good options? If so, Which one should I buy?

What tips would you recommend to a noob?

Also, if I enjoyed playing kaiju decks jn yugioh, is there something similar in vanguard? :)

Thanks in advance :)
