Honestly I think Konami did a actual good job with Master Duel I'm honestly surprised with how F2P friendly it is. Also while it is certainly longer than Duel Link's I just think it's just because we've been so used to the Rush Duel format remember this is the proper, and current TCG. Also even the Duel Pass / Battle Pass is purchasable with Jem's not just cash like I was suspecting.

Honestly everyone should get used to it if you've just played Yu Gi Oh Duel Links, Yu Gi Oh Master Duel is trying to capture both the TCG/OCG feel of Yu Gi Oh. And boy when i say they normally can last 30 minutes don't be surprised when the first turn take 5-10 minutes, apart from that it becomes progressively faster because you have all the materials at the start to use and you progressively lose more materials as you're losing/winning.

[@nassim0775]

it's not about getting used to it mobile players in particular play mobile games cuz they are quick and u can have fun without it taking large chunks of ur day also with duel links it's a chance to play yugioh but without having to deal with the level of complexity of the tcg for me that was the main selling point not having 10 min turns is great and not having 5 negates boards is also great

Just keep doing it until you get used to everything new, specially staples(a tip that i have is, memorize their arts instead of their effects, for me at least it's easier to learn combos that way, and when to be cautious of some monsters, since your brain will just recognize that shit hits the fan when it appears so you can think in a response to it beforehand; with enough time you will be able to recognize the effects just by the art alone) if possible watch edopro replays(or even use it) because they are really fast, so you can get used to the cards and also to the deck that you plan on using, you might also want to use it or some other simulator(as i suggested, if you're playing master duel which effects resolve automatically, you might want to use automatic simulators for that reason) for test hands in order to get comfortable with the deck and know how to proceed in different scenarios, or even practice against AI; it might not make the smartest choices sometimes but it still puts up a challenge when you leave it using a strong deck; and most importantly recognize when you should take a break, i hardly play and when i do it's like 3-5 matches at maximum, since i'm only willing to do so when i wake in a really specific mood that makes me want to play, so take your time with it, the game it's really complicated when you get on tcg/ocg, there's some things that even after such time playing i'm still learning(had discovered that chain block exist this week); so it's understable why some people just don't have the patience to learn it all

If you want to think while dueling play crystrons or ritual beasts. A lot of different setups and combos to be had, you can play both in duel links as well.

None of those decks unfortunately, they all are weak in the meta game, You could build decks like; Eldlich, Tri-Brigade, Lyrilusc, dinosaurs (my favorite), Shaddolls (you have mixed versions of them but you can also play pure), Invoked (also mixed but pure I won’t recommend). Those are examples for competitive decks, there are others but some them requires more complex Plays as well as most of the needed cards are high rarities

[@thetsubamehub2139]

D/D/D and Pendulum magicians are notorious “just play with what’s in your hand” type of decks where your hand determines how your combo goes, but once you play enough it does just end up feeling like you’re going through the motions.

That may have been the funniest thing I've ever seen, that sensation you have knowing you already won like 5 turns before using a control deck is so awesome... And a torture for your opp 😂 if it helps blue eyes become much better with the new support and you can use stuff like dangers levianeer and rank 8 to raise the ceilling

[@NightyKnight09]

I was going to hop on duel masters but after watching this duel I remembered why I haven’t since launch day

[@AristotleOfGreece]

I think this just goes to show why Duel Links will continue to have an appeal, there’s a desire in the community for quick games.

[@Flourikum]

That or if it's just not feeling too good just surrender. You don't lose ranks yet you just stagnate.

I just started the game building an altergeist deck because I thought it was top tier, but it actually have some other better decks (as google says), I'm still new to the current format and don't know how to counter certains decks but still I won 22 of 29 ranked duels, that's a pretty nice deck but all duels take at least 12 turns, I don't know if this happens reccurently or if is this deck that is slow

[@alfhifauzan4307]

Altergeist is one of the best control deck. Even muktifaker is limited, it's still nice

Are you speaking from a Duel Links mindset? Because this game has competitive TCG in mind, so the duels are obviously going to take much longer than a Duel Links game would.

[@justaworm1]

This is TCG. My coffee table matches with my kids take 30 minutes per game sometimes. This is why duel links has a place; focused, shorter matches

[@justaworm1]

It is funny to see you starting from scratch, or at least acting like it, with TCG play. Keep it up!

your head is going to explode if you are going to try and keep up with the meta in both games

I agree but man, Master Duel has the perfect gem system. Duel Links should've had the same features.

[@shadownine990]

It really is a matter of a duel lasting for either 5 mins or 30 mins on my side. Sidenote, I love the Ancient Gear archetype but I feel that it's too slow to help me win matches consistently and I'm too stubborn to build for a stronger archetype. Anyone know how well Ancient Gear fares in competitive?

[@Rairiky]

They are an ok otk deck but If you wanna compete use them with machinas,infinitracks trains and other earth machine support

It doesnt matter much as hardly a single card from those decks is playable but you get them from leveling up.

It is interesting to see the start of the mastery. I do remember Dkayed said he will be the best at this game. This video shows that anyone can be a master at something if they dedicate time enough to learn and keep learning. It is a brand new experience. Back to Duel Links! And then back tomorrow for more training, until mastery is achieved! The duels will be way longer though

I don't know if these cards are in your blue-eyes deck but add these. Number 97, number 92 and number 100. This combo is perfect for otk's. Number 92 is optional its just the card I choose to attach to number 100.

Mater duel is more akin of The real tcg simulator so yes some duels might be long, altought it can be annoying to some I personally love it
