@@dubiouslobo9190 TBH, I'm not even sure that's true - You get so many random trash ultras over time from both rewards and pack openings that you can just craft almost everything you need for a specific deck. If you just focus on specifically ONE deck to start with, you can totally make it 100% competitive week 1. Which is literally leagues better than any other F2P TCG game, and arguably faster than freaking legacy of the duelist lol... which isn't even F2P.
Virtual World doesnt even need a single UR in the main deck except for any handtraps you want to play. Just use R staples like Chalice, BoM, or Fogblade to fill space.
important note: the decks you get for completing a solo mode are *not* identical to the deck you played to get that far, its a nerfed version of it. Example: the "end of the world" structure deck comes with ruin and demise, but not their supreme queen/king versions, which you did have during the loaner duels. it should also be noted if you dismantle 1 of the highest sheen/foil cards you get enough crafting points to craft 1 card at once. This is shown in the video, but I didn't feel it was super clear, so I thought I'd state that clearly here.
Fun fact: If you want to disassemble a bunch of cards at once, while in the deckbuilder you can press the icon in the very top right and it will give you the option to deconstruct all your extra copies of cards or choose a bunch of cards to disassemble at once.

Think the last one I played was Dungeon Dice monsters on game boy, which was fkn ages ago, also battle city was awesome, I liked Kaiba’s rules and the new system, the holographic displays set up. The story and card game meshed together so well
Also in the deck building page, there is an option in the hamburger menu on the top right that lets you dismantle all extras you own, and that helps getting a lot of card materials quickly as it will dismantle any card you have more than 3 of(a playset)
More than 3 of a rarity* It keeps 3 copies of each rarity, a notable thing to remember if you don't care about holos or don't care about keeping non-foils once you get foils.
The best part about this game is how the staple cards are UR and most of the other cards for each archetype are SR or R with a few UR options if you want it. This makes building multiple decks much easier if you spend your UR points on staple cards that fit into any deck
I'm a returning player, and back in the day I always tried to make Skull Servants and Ice Barriers work in competitive.

Another thing that I don't think was mentioned in this video is that when you dismantle a card of a any rarity then you'll get more crafting materials from it the higher it's quality is e.g. foil, glossy, etc so in some cases you can dismantle 1 UR you don't want for another UR you do without needing to dismantle more than 1 or 2 copies
Explained it so well, yugioh was my first anime as a child and I’ve always known how the game works but i didn’t know how to start building a deck subbed
welp as of today gems got scarce, well I still have plenty open with the story mode not completed, soooo now I'm saving up for the future as I got what I wanted. But yusss this game made me go ham playing yu-gi-oh having no locals around :/
@@sammydray5919 Obviously... Just I could just dream by getting like 6 UR tickets at the very beginning; but the login rewards will dry off, just like DL (that's what I meant)
@@Jyxero The difference is you could dismantle cards you don't need so you can atleast work towards getting the cards you need no matter how tedious it might get. However in duel links you are relying on getting a particular ticket or the card even being available for trade at all with other non dream tickets or just card trader guy. Outside of dream tickets you have no guarantee that you will get the card you need and have to rely on Konami being generous enough to let you. Here you can atleast work towards the goal of getting the card you want. Thats the core difference. But yeah I do agree with the fact that the game seems generous in the beginning but in the late game it could become hell like Duel links
I Built Aromages as my first competitive ladder deck. cimo should also talk about in a later video, how in the top right hand corner of the deck editor, where they is an icon with 3 lines, there is an option to convert every card you own in your collection, and leave you with only 3 copies of every card, in every rarity. so in my example i had an Aromage Bergamot, with silver letters but 6 normal versions (i opened up 30 packs of the Blooming in Adversity pack). i clicked on this convert feature, and it put me down to only 3 copies of Aromage Bergamot + the 1 silver lettered one.
I’m new and it can be overwhelming and scary. I don’t know what to buy, and I’m scared to spend anything, also scared of not even spending anything or making the wrong decisions. Pressure haha
I can only describe this on the Switch, but if you hold L to bring up the crafting menu on a card you want in a deck, there’s a button you can press that says “Related Cards” and it will show you other stuff you may want to put in there. It’s a big time saver. I love this game though! I’ve built Code Talkers and Salamangreats so far and I think I want to work on a more casual Toon deck next if the newest support is in there but I haven’t actually checked. I have some critiques of the game but overall it’s pretty amazing.
Will it eventually become possible to make videos in master duel? Or is it too difficult/slow to make decks there? The effects and everything would be nice to add some more visuals to content.
Master duel format isn't TCG, the matches are only a single game, there's no side decking and the most recent sets are not available yet. So idk, i guess it depends on the series they're trying to make
@@joaogarcia6170 i believe master duel's goal is to draw in new, returning players, and casual players(not that thats bad, I'm casual and it's the fun way to play). They put work into making the game fun to play. The animations, the looks, the accessories and cosmetics, solo mode. All stuff most hardcore people would call useless.
To note about the 750 bundles: Judgment and Lightning Storm specifically are used very frequently over in the OCG and are sided in against Eldlich, which is one of the dominant strategies there. Master Duel players are probably gonna run into both of them much more frequently than they're used to here in the TCG since the Master Duel banlist looks very similar to the OCG's.
What I don't get is why there are like 3 or 2 of the same cards in a deck and why there's just 40 cards in all the decks u copy when u can have 60 cards. I m so confused
I always been a yugioh fan and been playing the game but didn't know there was even a crafting system and i spend over 3k gems on packs trying to optain a card which now i can definitely finish building my deck
The problem is as a returning player I don't know what cards are safe to dismantle, also I don't know what are the strongest decks that are fairly cheap to build
Look for generic stuff to keep. Archetype cards you don’t want (unless it’s something like Pank) are usually safer to dust, with decks you have that card and none else.
A lot of people talk about how if you wanted to play tcg digitally then you should just use a simulator like ygopro but the reason why I prefer master duel is the fact that it allows me to mess around and discover random decks like thunder dragon which I somehow managed to pull all the cards for in like half an hour and now I’m absolutely loving the deck, With something like ygopro I would never get an experience like this
I feel the opposite way, honestly. I enjoy Master Duel, but something I really like about ygopro-style simulators is that I can just make a bunch of new decks to mess around with, I don't need invest a ton of time in unlocking any cards
I only watched the anime and never played a single game.. just got master duel and my cousin is helping me build a monarch deck. Watching this is also helping out as well.
Trying to get zombie world got that golden lich but chose dragon starter for my switch and started getting random secret packs got some good junk and scrap. I want some better dragons to add but zombies as well
After pulling 30 times on the Dark Magician pack, I wish there was a mass deconstruct for anything above 3 copies. Edit: apparently I need new glasses. lmao
If you click the "hamburger" menu (three horizontal lines) in the top right of the deck builder, it will pop up some options, one of which is to dismantle all extra copies of cards
Thank you sir for the video, i am very noob and dont know how to play yu gi oh because it seems very complicated with all the cards stuff. Idk which card is the best and how i can build a best deck until i found your video. Thank you very much, now even a noob like me can enjoy playing yugioh 😄👍
Last night, just finished putting _RIKKA_ (game is missing some cards from like Burst of Destiny but I got everything else) and honestly... Wasn't too bad! XD Also, I love how the pack opener messes with you sometimes (in a good way) with like how it might pass over an unassuming common (?) And then you found out that it's NOT! it's dumb I know but it's the small stuff ya know? Debating on what I want to put together next... 🧠👈🏿
Wait... another Rikka player? Well, technically I'm an Aroma player but still, cheer up for the waifu deck (Just don't look at some Predaps I have) And I didn't knew there was some cards missing from Rikka, if possible can you enlight me with that info?
@@Jyxero Ha ha. Nice to see another of our kind here! When I'm referring to missing cards for Rikka, I don't mean like ACTUAL Rikka cards (they're all available in the game) but some outside Plant support. Burst of Destiny isn't available and I want to add 3 copies total of _Sunvine Sowing_ . It's just a fantastic Plant extender Spell and it's searchable off that Sunavalon Link 1 tree. 🌴 And Dimension Force (just released in the OCG) has a few more Plant support cards in it that are also not in Master Duel yet. Stuff like that. ✓
Great video... something so ridiculously obvious that my mind didnt register until you said it is, the VALUE you get with the bundles!! In my mind you just get random cards and a guaranteed generic meta card.. but I never thought about it that you get 10 packs plus a guaranteed meta generic card for a lower price compared to the normal price for 10 packs... if you buy all 3 of them you save enough to buy another 1 bundle if they release one whenever you get into the game or have enough the open 7 packs... you get an amazing value out of those 3 bundles!!
Something he didn't mention is that after so many times of building certian cards or even on the first try there is a chance the card will come out looking weird like glossy or kinda like a rainbow If it's glossy u get 15 of the things for dismantling it and if it's rainbow u get 20
I did not expect this game to get that many downloads in just 3 months, I hope it goes further and makes the card game more popular (I stopped liking the anime after the age of 9 or 10 and after like Zexal I think)
So cimos budget deck costs about 400$ This is solely based on the UR in the deck as i assume you get all the other stuff in the process of obtaining the UR. Math: The chance for pulling an ur out a pack of 10 is 217% (the 8th card in the 10th pack has a 20% chance to be ur, the rest has a chance of 2.5%). So you would expect to pull about 2 ur out each 10 pack group, so the deck cimo showed contains a total of 11 ur which cant be obtained directly(ash blossom, raigeki ...) , so assuming you get non of the ur you need directly you need to craft them as the crafting ratio is 3 to 1 you need to obtain 33 UR in total. Which means based on the chance to pull 1 UR you would need to open 161 decks on average. Each pack costs 100 crystals so you need 16 100 crystals which would require you to buy 4 of the largest crystal packs each costing 90$ so 360€ in total. this is ignoring the gems you can get from missions and solo mode. The other solo packs are significantly less generous than the one presented in this video which reward 2400 crystals, where as the other ones reward 200 crystals each Why am i not assuming you get any UR you want from packs directly: Some of the UR like Maxx C come only from the masterpack, which contains a total of 693 different UR so to pull one specific UR you have a chance of 1/693 chance, multiply this with the chance of getting an UR in the first place and you end up with a chance of pulling a specific UR of 1/27027 cards Caveat I did not account for higher foil version of UR
Thank you for this! I've been out of the game for a long time, I've been wanting to get back in, and Master Duel is exactly what I've been looking for!
Depends on what deck are you playing but generally you have to play more handtraps usually you want to play around 14 handtraps/going 2nd cards so you get 90 percent chance of opening atleast 1... such as droplet, imperm, nibiru, droll, ash, maxx c the reason lyrilusc isnt as powerful here in ocg cuz maxx c and droll stops them... if you dont have budget for ultra rare handtrap you can use 1.retaliating c its normal rarity it works on virtual world kauwloon, prank kids, drytrn, shaddoll invoke, lyrilusc birdcall, eldlich black awakening and it searchers maxx c when sent to gy 2. d.d. crow its only sr pretty good especially if you time it right 3. droll only sr for a very strong card 4. phantazmay its a pseudo maxx c helps you draw better handtrap 5. lancea also an sr helps play around pots make sure you use it in standby by turning "on" button instead of automatic 6. meister sr 7. cycle reader if your tired of drytrons also works for eldlich 8. gamma sr though its semi limited and makes you run a brick 9. contact c can be annoying to certain decks 10. evenly matched only sr pretty good board wipe especially against trap decks
@@cenalexis7896 I'm playing isd I made mecabba n passed n I play droplet max c ash punishment lightning storm all 1 ofs didn't draw any of them n once it was my turn again they had a full board of cards can't b destroyed by battle ir card effects
I got totally screwed on the ultras and ended up not pulling a single one I wanted so I ended up crafting. First crafts were ash blossom, melody, and trade ins for blue-eyes. Ive done the whole solo mode and made it to silver ranked and need 14 more ultras...
Jokes on CImo, I didn't even do Solo mode, I haven't paid for gems, and I have a full Lyrilusc Tri-Brigade deck, a Dogmatika deck, and a Sky Striekr deck.
Most of the gems I’ve gotten are from the solo story, online or daily rewards from logins or as you play you can check unlimited awards and you get tons of gems. My only fear is that you get less and less gems as you further progress and then to like small drops of gems only. Like with what happened to Duel Links
You get around 100 gems a day excluding special campaign stuff. That is 1 pack. Ocg card releases are slow unlike duel links and are much less impactful on the meta. You will probably have a very good collection after a year of playing. Battle pass also gives lots of UR mats every 2 1/2 months. I also assume we get regular events to keep players engaged which would then add more gems as well.
I just made a pure megalith deck, nobody knows how to fully deal with it. I managed to play through two Borreload Savage Dragons and still won. It’s just amazing. I also have the capability to climb into Access Code Talker which makes closing the game incredibly easy.
After for not playing yuioh since 2015. I am glad Master Duel is out. I loaded it last night on my switch and having a huge blast playing yugioh again after so long. good to back in my original card game again I missed it. :)
I think something worth noting is if you plan to play a decent amount the duel pass upgrade is worth it for 600 gems you get all the gems back plus extra crafting materials and as a bonus a couple cosmetics
If you want to be efficient with your resources use crafting to craft staples like Maxx-C, Ash and Called by the Grave first. You can pull those only from Master packs wich has every card so you are very unlikely to get what you want from those. So try to pull your Tri-Brigade cards from the pack that has the by craftin one Sr Tri-Brigde like Frejit and try to pull them with Gems first.
At some point the gem influx stagnated and getting the URs you need to make the remaining staples is tough. I made Eldlich and VW and now I'm missing 20 (!!!) URs to make Drytron and 25 (!!!) to make Endymion.

I didn't play the game form 10 years ago
And now I feels like I'm a new player
Didn’t know I could craft lol
I literally spent all day making scuffed synchros and infinitrack.
Thank you Cimo!
Another thing that I don't think was mentioned in this video is that when you dismantle a card of a any rarity then you'll get more crafting materials from it the higher it's quality is e.g. foil, glossy, etc so in some cases you can dismantle 1 UR you don't want for another UR you do without needing to dismantle more than 1 or 2 copies
this dude really got 29 unclaimed mission rewards like that won't land you a good 30 packs worth of gems
Lol right
Explained it so well, yugioh was my first anime as a child and I’ve always known how the game works but i didn’t know how to start building a deck subbed
Man this game is fun! I do think that after a certain point gems become really scarce
welp as of today gems got scarce, well I still have plenty open with the story mode not completed, soooo now I'm saving up for the future as I got what I wanted. But yusss this game made me go ham playing yu-gi-oh having no locals around :/
Welcome to Duel Links first month of playing...
@@Jyxero duel never had a crafting system so this this automatically better in that regard atleast
@@sammydray5919 Obviously... Just I could just dream by getting like 6 UR tickets at the very beginning; but the login rewards will dry off, just like DL (that's what I meant)
@@Jyxero The difference is you could dismantle cards you don't need so you can atleast work towards getting the cards you need no matter how tedious it might get. However in duel links you are relying on getting a particular ticket or the card even being available for trade at all with other non dream tickets or just card trader guy. Outside of dream tickets you have no guarantee that you will get the card you need and have to rely on Konami being generous enough to let you.
Here you can atleast work towards the goal of getting the card you want.
Thats the core difference.
But yeah I do agree with the fact that the game seems generous in the beginning but in the late game it could become hell like Duel links
I Built Aromages as my first competitive ladder deck.
cimo should also talk about in a later video, how in the top right hand corner of the deck editor, where they is an icon with 3 lines, there is an option to convert every card you own in your collection, and leave you with only 3 copies of every card, in every rarity.
so in my example i had an Aromage Bergamot, with silver letters but 6 normal versions (i opened up 30 packs of the Blooming in Adversity pack). i clicked on this convert feature, and it put me down to only 3 copies of Aromage Bergamot + the 1 silver lettered one.
I’m new and it can be overwhelming and scary. I don’t know what to buy, and I’m scared to spend anything, also scared of not even spending anything or making the wrong decisions. Pressure haha
Incredibly on brand that Cimo would spend the entire video basically advocating for buying singles
holy shit I missed cimo talking about competitive yugioh SO DAMN MUCH
My man needs to learn how to mass dismantle. Going one by one will take you forever
Sky Striker is pretty affordable too. The only ultra cards are Engage (which is at 2) and Kagari (at 1).
But all the handtraps that you have to play in striker are all ultra
This is really helpful for someone getting into the game just now, thanks dude!
Next, Cimo makes a video teaching you how to make cereal
*Build cereal
I can only describe this on the Switch, but if you hold L to bring up the crafting menu on a card you want in a deck, there’s a button you can press that says “Related Cards” and it will show you other stuff you may want to put in there. It’s a big time saver.
I love this game though! I’ve built Code Talkers and Salamangreats so far and I think I want to work on a more casual Toon deck next if the newest support is in there but I haven’t actually checked. I have some critiques of the game but overall it’s pretty amazing.
Will it eventually become possible to make videos in master duel? Or is it too difficult/slow to make decks there? The effects and everything would be nice to add some more visuals to content.
Card crafting makes it much more F2P friendly then duel links.
Master duel format isn't TCG, the matches are only a single game, there's no side decking and the most recent sets are not available yet. So idk, i guess it depends on the series they're trying to make
@@joaogarcia6170 considering the fact that this is gonna be used for official tournaments the missing sets will probably be added in updates.
@@joaogarcia6170 i believe master duel's goal is to draw in new, returning players, and casual players(not that thats bad, I'm casual and it's the fun way to play). They put work into making the game fun to play. The animations, the looks, the accessories and cosmetics, solo mode. All stuff most hardcore people would call useless.
To note about the 750 bundles: Judgment and Lightning Storm specifically are used very frequently over in the OCG and are sided in against Eldlich, which is one of the dominant strategies there. Master Duel players are probably gonna run into both of them much more frequently than they're used to here in the TCG since the Master Duel banlist looks very similar to the OCG's.
Also the discount on the packs is enough to sell them
What I don't get is why there are like 3 or 2 of the same cards in a deck and why there's just 40 cards in all the decks u copy when u can have 60 cards. I m so confused
Game is great but we just need more stuff than ranked now. Events like goat format and stuff will be great
if you keep making content on master duel, I feel like your channel will blow up more than it already has. Good luck!
I always been a yugioh fan and been playing the game but didn't know there was even a crafting system and i spend over 3k gems on packs trying to optain a card which now i can definitely finish building my deck
WOW I thought SOLO was SOLD and never clicked on it.
Classic Yugioh players can’t read meme
we lost saturday morning yugioh for this
The problem is as a returning player I don't know what cards are safe to dismantle, also I don't know what are the strongest decks that are fairly cheap to build
Look for generic stuff to keep. Archetype cards you don’t want (unless it’s something like Pank) are usually safer to dust, with decks you have that card and none else.
A lot of people talk about how if you wanted to play tcg digitally then you should just use a simulator like ygopro but the reason why I prefer master duel is the fact that it allows me to mess around and discover random decks like thunder dragon which I somehow managed to pull all the cards for in like half an hour and now I’m absolutely loving the deck, With something like ygopro I would never get an experience like this
I feel the opposite way, honestly. I enjoy Master Duel, but something I really like about ygopro-style simulators is that I can just make a bunch of new decks to mess around with, I don't need invest a ton of time in unlocking any cards
I’m having a lot of trouble working out how to use and play non normal cards cuz they are too confusing!
Finally a video not based on weekly programming LOLOL
I only watched the anime and never played a single game.. just got master duel and my cousin is helping me build a monarch deck. Watching this is also helping out as well.
I felt it in my bones when you say "there's a lot of overwhelming elements..."
Great video 🙌💥 Especially for people like me that haven't dueled in ages. This was so clear & straight forward.
How do i copy that deck because i am new and i dont know
Trying to get zombie world got that golden lich but chose dragon starter for my switch and started getting random secret packs got some good junk and scrap. I want some better dragons to add but zombies as well
master duel progression series when ??
Great video man I just got into the TCG I always bought cards when I was younger and loved the shows. This really got me back into it GG
After pulling 30 times on the Dark Magician pack, I wish there was a mass deconstruct for anything above 3 copies.
Edit: apparently I need new glasses. lmao
There is a feature like that in game
There actually is that option to mass deconstruct anything above 3 copies
There is. In the top right corner of the deck building window you get an option to dismantle all extra cards you own (not counting special foiling)
If you click the "hamburger" menu (three horizontal lines) in the top right of the deck builder, it will pop up some options, one of which is to dismantle all extra copies of cards
THE JUDOSLOTH OF YUGIOH
Thank you sir for the video, i am very noob and dont know how to play yu gi oh because it seems very complicated with all the cards stuff. Idk which card is the best and how i can build a best deck until i found your video. Thank you very much, now even a noob like me can enjoy playing yugioh 😄👍
Last night, just finished putting _RIKKA_ (game is missing some cards from like Burst of Destiny but I got everything else) and honestly... Wasn't too bad! XD
Also, I love how the pack opener messes with you sometimes (in a good way) with like how it might pass over an unassuming common (?) And then you found out that it's NOT! it's dumb I know but it's the small stuff ya know?
Debating on what I want to put together next... 🧠👈🏿
Wait... another Rikka player? Well, technically I'm an Aroma player but still, cheer up for the waifu deck (Just don't look at some Predaps I have)
And I didn't knew there was some cards missing from Rikka, if possible can you enlight me with that info?
@@Jyxero Ha ha. Nice to see another of our kind here!
When I'm referring to missing cards for Rikka, I don't mean like ACTUAL Rikka cards (they're all available in the game) but some outside Plant support.
Burst of Destiny isn't available and I want to add 3 copies total of _Sunvine Sowing_ . It's just a fantastic Plant extender Spell and it's searchable off that Sunavalon Link 1 tree. 🌴
And Dimension Force (just released in the OCG) has a few more Plant support cards in it that are also not in Master Duel yet. Stuff like that. ✓
Out of curiosity, what happened to sealed Saturdays?
Great video... something so ridiculously obvious that my mind didnt register until you said it is, the VALUE you get with the bundles!! In my mind you just get random cards and a guaranteed generic meta card.. but I never thought about it that you get 10 packs plus a guaranteed meta generic card for a lower price compared to the normal price for 10 packs... if you buy all 3 of them you save enough to buy another 1 bundle if they release one whenever you get into the game or have enough the open 7 packs... you get an amazing value out of those 3 bundles!!
I recommend a chat pad for playing on xbox, makes typing soo much easier.
Random thought: Next Prog Series on Master Duel 👀
Would be cool
I know this is from like over a year ago but thank you so much you have helped my skill Skyrocket in the game thank you so much
thank you, i was so pissed off. been waiting for my weekly gems to open new packs to build my deck this whole time lol
That's a lot of steps for a rather ready system. This video was a great help, because I had no idea how to craft lol.
I wish there was a way on the pack list to be like oh I want that card and craft it from there.
I just started playing the game. I am struggling to make a deck. This video helped a lot. Thanks
Hey this is a cool concept.
I only did like 3 parts of solo mode and got ~7k gems, its crazy
Something he didn't mention is that after so many times of building certian cards or even on the first try there is a chance the card will come out looking weird like glossy or kinda like a rainbow If it's glossy u get 15 of the things for dismantling it and if it's rainbow u get 20
As someone who is obsessed with dragunity cards this is helpful to know how to do this
I agree, copying other's deck then modify it the way you want to play would really help for beginners.
Getting hand traps are really easy to get early on
Tip for f2p players: dust your shinies, glossy's etc. You'll get more craft points.
I did not expect this game to get that many downloads in just 3 months, I hope it goes further and makes the card game more popular (I stopped liking the anime after the age of 9 or 10 and after like Zexal I think)
So cimos budget deck costs about 400$
This is solely based on the UR in the deck as i assume you get all the other stuff in the process of obtaining the UR.
Math:
The chance for pulling an ur out a pack of 10 is 217% (the 8th card in the 10th pack has a 20% chance to be ur, the rest has a chance of 2.5%). So you would expect to pull about 2 ur out each 10 pack group, so the deck cimo showed contains a total of 11 ur which cant be obtained directly(ash blossom, raigeki ...) , so assuming you get non of the ur you need directly you need to craft them as the crafting ratio is 3 to 1 you need to obtain 33 UR in total. Which means based on the chance to pull 1 UR you would need to open 161 decks on average. Each pack costs 100 crystals so you need 16 100 crystals which would require you to buy 4 of the largest crystal packs each costing 90$ so 360€ in total.
this is ignoring the gems you can get from missions and solo mode. The other solo packs are significantly less generous than the one presented in this video which reward 2400 crystals, where as the other ones reward 200 crystals each
Why am i not assuming you get any UR you want from packs directly:
Some of the UR like Maxx C come only from the masterpack, which contains a total of 693 different UR so to pull one specific UR you have a chance of 1/693 chance, multiply this with the chance of getting an UR in the first place and you end up with a chance of pulling a specific UR of 1/27027 cards
Caveat I did not account for higher foil version of UR
There is also a mass dismantle option for anything over 3 copies of a card.
I built a Blackwing Deck that I named "Homage to CIMOOOO". So proud of the deck to be honest!
Love Kalut, very honest
@@runningoncylinders3829 Nice one! Very "Honest" indeed!
Finally non-series video
Thank you for this! I've been out of the game for a long time, I've been wanting to get back in, and Master Duel is exactly what I've been looking for!
What do u do against bird up specifically the lyrilusc stuff if they get a full board without droplet bc I didnt draw it
Sphere Mode?
@@Jyxero I'm not gonna play that garbage in my deck
Dont let them get full board or play through their board. Going 1st most decks will lock you out if they can go uninterrupted.
Depends on what deck are you playing but generally you have to play more handtraps usually you want to play around 14 handtraps/going 2nd cards so you get 90 percent chance of opening atleast 1... such as droplet, imperm, nibiru, droll, ash, maxx c the reason lyrilusc isnt as powerful here in ocg cuz maxx c and droll stops them...
if you dont have budget for ultra rare handtrap you can use
1.retaliating c its normal rarity it works on virtual world kauwloon, prank kids, drytrn, shaddoll invoke, lyrilusc birdcall, eldlich black awakening and it searchers maxx c when sent to gy
2. d.d. crow its only sr pretty good especially if you time it right
3. droll only sr for a very strong card
4. phantazmay its a pseudo maxx c helps you draw better handtrap
5. lancea also an sr helps play around pots make sure you use it in standby by turning "on" button instead of automatic
6. meister sr
7. cycle reader if your tired of drytrons also works for eldlich
8. gamma sr though its semi limited and makes you run a brick
9. contact c can be annoying to certain decks
10. evenly matched only sr pretty good board wipe especially against trap decks
@@cenalexis7896 I'm playing isd I made mecabba n passed n I play droplet max c ash punishment lightning storm all 1 ofs didn't draw any of them n once it was my turn again they had a full board of cards can't b destroyed by battle ir card effects
Oh my gosh, they made a new yugioh game? And it is actually budget friendly?! Yay!
I got totally screwed on the ultras and ended up not pulling a single one I wanted so I ended up crafting. First crafts were ash blossom, melody, and trade ins for blue-eyes. Ive done the whole solo mode and made it to silver ranked and need 14 more ultras...
Sealed Saturday is looking a bit different
Jokes on CImo, I didn't even do Solo mode, I haven't paid for gems, and I have a full Lyrilusc Tri-Brigade deck, a Dogmatika deck, and a Sky Striekr deck.
Now I understand how I craft thanks a lot cimoooo
Yeah, thanks for this cimo. Seemed daunting, getting into master duel.
Most of the gems I’ve gotten are from the solo story, online or daily rewards from logins or as you play you can check unlimited awards and you get tons of gems.
My only fear is that you get less and less gems as you further progress and then to like small drops of gems only. Like with what happened to Duel Links
That's what gets me about games like these. It disincentives me from playing further because I end up feeling cheated.
You get around 100 gems a day excluding special campaign stuff.
That is 1 pack.
Ocg card releases are slow unlike duel links and are much less impactful on the meta.
You will probably have a very good collection after a year of playing.
Battle pass also gives lots of UR mats every 2 1/2 months.
I also assume we get regular events to keep players engaged which would then add more gems as well.
I just made a pure megalith deck, nobody knows how to fully deal with it. I managed to play through two Borreload Savage Dragons and still won. It’s just amazing. I also have the capability to climb into Access Code Talker which makes closing the game incredibly easy.
Are you playing block dragon?
After for not playing yuioh since 2015. I am glad Master Duel is out. I loaded it last night on my switch and having a huge blast playing yugioh again after so long. good to back in my original card game again I missed it. :)
I think something worth noting is if you plan to play a decent amount the duel pass upgrade is worth it for 600 gems you get all the gems back plus extra crafting materials and as a bonus a couple cosmetics
The duel pass takes around 70 wins to complete, thats 1 win per day on average. Very good purchase if you go for ranked ladder
@@luminous3558 my one complaint is there is not continued rewards 3 days in and I'm done with the duel pass
@@decout yeah but Id say the gems in the ranked duel reward "drops" makes up for it a bit in terms of still making the grind feel worth.
really like how you broke everything down for me being a starter i understand alil bit better now
If you want to be efficient with your resources use crafting to craft staples like Maxx-C, Ash and Called by the Grave first. You can pull those only from Master packs wich has every card so you are very unlikely to get what you want from those. So try to pull your Tri-Brigade cards from the pack that has the by craftin one Sr Tri-Brigde like Frejit and try to pull them with Gems first.
At some point the gem influx stagnated and getting the URs you need to make the remaining staples is tough. I made Eldlich and VW and now I'm missing 20 (!!!) URs to make Drytron and 25 (!!!) to make Endymion.
