I love that crafting system, honestly. Actually getting the cards I want was always a hassle in YuGiOh games, seeing as you can't just buy singles like in real life. That kinda fixes it.

Crafting mode made me drop duel links immediately, the system is incredibly amazing for f2p players

I'm a huge Magic player, never really got into Yugioh before I happened upon your Progression Series (and then all the other series) and I am just, blown away by how much better this is than MTG Arena. Literally going to jump into playing purely because of how more user friendly this seems

[@lordsnom5287]

God i feel you there this games UI is so much more user friendly than arena

[@tiktokexposed898]

I tried playing MTG A for a few hours but never stuck around. In what ways is master duels better?

Bro yuigioh Is awesome tbh. I've played mtg for years and Yu-Gi-Oh is super unique and I enjoy Yu-Gi-Oh more rn

[@VerbalKint07203]

This video was a gem for me. I’m new to the game & had no clue how to craft decks. Thanks so much

[@concepthazard6933]

Love this! So helpful for new players to the game. Already built a few competitive decks with all these features.

[@TheDjdeath45]

Still blows my mind that a good chunk of the cards in bird-up, drytron, skystriker, etc, are usually SR at best, putting aside hands traps and some extra deck, this game is so f2p

[@MOORE4U2]

Sky Striker really surprised me. I wanted to play Mathmech, but I got more SS stuff from its secret pack lol.

[@adhamwashere5320]

Funny enough, I was making a blue eyes deck where nearly all the important cards are ultrarare. Even worse is that Blue Eyes Alternative Ultimate Dragon isn't in the game for some reason

[@dubiouslobo9190]

Honestly the only thing thats "annoying" with hard air quotes is that getting hand trap/generic staples might take a bit without opening the wallet. but other than that I've already built Fire Fist, Dragonmaid and Eldlich completely free. This is a huge W for Konami

[@AtomicArtumas]

@@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.

[@xSlav]

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.

[@Myron_The_Wolf]

Once again, it's good to see a discussion video on this channel again. Keep it up!

[@certibantz]

Great video 🙌💥 Especially for people like me that haven't dueled in ages. This was so clear & straight forward.

[@zaquhe]

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.

[@grw18]

I had some peeps teaching me the initial story mode and telling me to start with the synchro starter deck because it had 3 MST. Which more than sold me for it Bought the packages to grab solemn judgment, lightning storm and ASH BLOSSOM! Did until element saber story so far and i got enough gems to build a decent shaddoll/invoker which i love running back then. Learned about physically netdecking a recipe. So i went for a shadoll player, it really saves soooo much time typing and searching cards in the deck editor.

[@HybridAngelZero]

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!

[@masonpawelek7014]

I'm very happy to see you doing non-series content. Don't get me wrong, I love the series, but I do miss the more analytical videos and the meta/budget deck videos. Glad to see you're doing master duel content

[@lucaoddenino9414]

Toadally agree!

[@shai310]

I disagree since the "series" content got a stale after a while for me hence why I haven't watched Cimo for so long. Seeing his last videos on MD is what truly his channel needed because it can help bring in many newer/returning players to the game while also giving Cimo the views he deserves.

[@lucaoddenino9414]

@@shai310 Tbh I absolutely agree with you. This content is much better!

[@alexturner7782]

holy shit I missed cimo talking about competitive yugioh SO DAMN MUCH

[@mikerice4334]

if you keep making content on master duel, I feel like your channel will blow up more than it already has. Good luck!

[@Xlousivee]

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

[@pogeman2345]

I wish they have a way to check your collection without opening the deck menu.

[@irregulargamer1352]

Yeah trunk view should be a thing

[@Namingway248]

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.

[@runningoncylinders3829]

I got a Demise in the mini bonus pack and could not dust it. It’s treated as a gift card, so that’s why I have 4 now. :/

[@ProdbyHway]

I’m confused 😂😂

[@Jsaldivardesigns]

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)

[@AtomicArtumas]

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.

[@espio329]

I guess you can say im a returning player. Havent played since duel city tourney arc was on tv. But master duel has been easing me back into the game with how to use various decks and how to do newer summons. So im grateful for this. Hopefully i can properly build a prehistoric deck.

[@Link00TMM]

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

[@kodycurran8270]

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

[@shai310]

As a returning YGO player I thank you so much for doing this, I wasn't sure what to do once I play this game but your video really helped get a starting ground. I do hope you'll keep up the MD content and I'm actually hoping you'll do deck guides to certain archetypes so people will learn how to play them. Thank you Cimo and keep up the good work.

I didn't play the game form 10 years ago And now I feels like I'm a new player

[@DKQuagmire]

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.

Welcome to Duel Links first month of playing...

[@sammydray5919]

@@Jyxero duel never had a crafting system so this this automatically better in that regard atleast

[@Jyxero]

@@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)

[@sammydray5919]

@@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

[@faybled2179]

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

[@TheSuperf12]

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 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.

[@itschiron4479]

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

[@diamonshade7484]

Me crying in Blue-eyes

[@TPHoarder]

Lol yeah right. Most archetypes have their most useful cards as ultra rares, even if the archetype is absolute trash.

[@Wolfkey13]

There is also a mass dismantle option for anything over 3 copies of a card.

[@nightwish7074]

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.

[@luminous3558]

Also the discount on the packs is enough to sell them

[@MrChillaxin2010]

Sky Striker is pretty affordable too. The only ultra cards are Engage (which is at 2) and Kagari (at 1).

[@fn2025]

But all the handtraps that you have to play in striker are all ultra
