HOW TO: YUGIOH MASTER DUELS - DO THIS BEFORE WASTING GEMS ! FREE TO PLAY / START GUIDE - URGENT

[@BrogeyTV]

I miss the Blue eyes vs Dark Magician days. Life was simple.

[@steve452009]

Yo right there with you!! Yu-Gi-Oh! Is still fun but I prefer the late 90’s way of the way of playing all this extra stuff is bull crap. People literally never end their turns. It’s like they can set and activate unlimited magic cards and trap cards. Summon unlimited monsters, and then all the other summon crap. In my opinion it’s made the game less fun but more challenging but more challenging in a bad way. Too many rules to make it fun for a casual or return player

[@banishingbetas]

@@steve452009 it feels like chess now

[@bengalbrown2834]

Blue eyes is still relatively competitive. I’d much rather them add to existing archetypes then to keep coming out with more special summoning features

[@tylergeiger2012]

The game is completely broken with the five minute turns of people summoning endless cards. I usually just quit out when I see people bringing out five cards at once and drawing their entire deck at will. Yu-Gi-Oh! used to be a great card game.

[@TheBotchJob]

That's why I loved when duel links came out originally because the meta was fully reset.

[@dexterdegrover2922]

Doesn't matter what starter deck you get, you still get all 3 start decks through completing unlimited missions leveling up and doing solo gate

[@solacebeyondsolace5926]

I say it does matter, because by the time you unlock the other ones, those cards are dated and weak. Getting the synchro one for MST early on is the best option imo.

@@solemnyugioh I followed your advice: I built cards on my own, purchased only the bundles on offer and the pass and created the cards you recommended in the video, but now I don't know how to compose my desk, I'm not an expert. I wouldn't know where to start, that is, what type of desk is best to make Please could you help me?

[@zaquhe]

Good job Solemn. This was a very thorough and effective tutorial. -Not directly related to the video but something I realized from watching it: The duel pass looks like the Master Duel version of the battle pass so theoretically one will come out every "season" (I don't think MD will really do seasons but I'll still use the term to help explain my point) so we have this pass this season and another one for another 600 gems when this one ends in less than 74 days. If thats the case, personally, that seems way too much time. 74 days (assuming this footage was taken day 1) equals 2 months and some change of time. I got a little over halfway through it in 2 days just from enjoying the game. So if I wanted to I could clear it in a week. Meaning I would then have to wait another ~7 weeks before getting any kind of meaningful rewards outside of dailys and lifetime missions (and secret missions but the ones I've unlocked are dumb and require things like gain 100000 lp in rank duel or do 50000 damage to your opponent while they're attacking.) It makes me think MD is going to turn into Duel Links very quickly or at least during these between passes phases. But that's all assuming we're even getting more passes like this (it is probable but not garunteed). I think this would be best fixed by cutting the seasons in half and making it 37 days. You still have plenty of time to get your stuff and there'll be a dry spell at the end of the month encouraging people to spend money but there won't be a content drought every other month for people to get bored over. IDK man, this just turned into a rant about the near future

[@leoantunes119]

Yes I also see this as a problem, I already did most of the missions and all of solo, so there's hardly a way to get gems other than spending cash or playing ranked (also really stupid that you don't get any gems when the opponent surrenders) I hope that the events that are coming soon will give us new missions with gems regularly, like 1 big even per month.

Thanks for this tutorial. I started at around 2003-isj and quit 2007 or so and seeing all these huge changes, new systems and new cards is damn overwhelming.

[@curiouscommand5916]

Great tutorials, definitely earned a sub. Returning OG player, got out around 2011ish before swapping to mtg. Getting back into this has been kinda overwhelming with the new mechanics and the insane level of power creep compared to a decade ago, but nevertheless I was able to build virtual world F2P thanks to this. It's definitely a crazy deck - tough to pilot, I'm still trying to wrap my head around it's intricacies and combos but I'm learning and it is showing results. Also built some common staples for future decks, and have Cyber Dragons and Drytron in the works. So far so good :)

[@kcassi1]

Man, power creep was what pushed me out of the game years ago. It sucks seeing the cards you loved getting put on the back burner for the next new waifu deck. But nowadays it seems they are adding tons of support to older arch-types in order to make them viable in competitive play. Great move by them, hope they keep going in this direction.

If you play legacy decks, you don’t need to worry about your deck not getting any new support.

7:21 good idea mentioning to craft a super rare first. Ultras are much harder to craft/get. I also recommend using your deck in solo first to get a feel of how it plays without getting negated, as well as take your time reading your opponent's cards (which you don't have that much online to idle, though 8 mins for a duel is fine). I can't believe 2:33 lol bronze had duelists that bad as I got owned until I quit in silver given fusion destiny go brr is boring to get 5 effects in 1 card with aqua dolphin/neo space connector to bait ash.

I've heard that this deck specifically will train me to not only play smarter but I've also heard that Thunde Dragon Collesus specifically is one of THE most powerful cards period. And Yes I'm New. I remembered old Yugioh, but that's about it. I even joke on how you even need a PhD in Yugioh just to understand specific tier-0 Cards.

​ @Zephyr Uhhh, I'd Say so. The Prank Kids Deck at leastyou technical ways to play Yugioh, especially since it's one of the more Noob-Friendly Cheaper decks out there, but having a Thunder Dragon Engine in there will help you even further, teaching you even more technical stuff. You have at least one special monster that will give you some sort of special effect: One to destroy the Front Row (or all opponent monsters) One to destroy the back row (or all opponent Traps and Spells) And even one that Negates the opponent from drawing extra cards. You even have a few cards here and there to work around with it in case you happened to not have a Prank kid yet, that will try and fasten your way to obtain a Prank kid, and there's even a card that whoever Prank Kids are in your graveyard can be put back into their hands respectively. This is a very good Learning deck to use. The first few games are the hardest, because you have to learn the deck itself. But even once you get the hang of the Deck, it should be enough to help you win helps a lot, because of how your cards work. And then from there, once you learned Prank Kids, you can then, for example, branch and then invest for other decks such as going for an Elderich Deck or a monster combo-based deck such as a really strong Dino Deck.

I was spectating a duel and saw the winner of duel had 26 cards left in his deck and the loser had 37 remaining cards on the third turn to me that is not fun and every deck is like that no matter the archtypes. I win because people have very few trap cards and few spells because they have all this special summon monsters loop combos to try to win and if you shut it down, you win easy but if they summon a monster that isnt effected by magic,trap,or effects on the 2nd turn with 3000 attack power.. how the fuck im suppose to get that off the board?

[@Bane03X]

Nothing wrong with spending money if your passionate about the game. I’ve been into yugioh since 2003 and have spent thousands IRL. Also spent a insane amount on yugioh online duel accelerator back in the day. I’ve earned over 15-20 K gems now on master duel but will definitely buy gems once I get tired of my decks. I’ve also done all the dismantling that I can do to generate cards so I’m at the point of buying gems for packs or waiting.

Definitely do the daily missions above practically everything else as they refresh every day after you complete them after the day's rollover, but will carry over if you've only done part of it. You can also mix up some decks to focus on different types of cards to get the usage requirements for missions, but don't count on getting really high ranking, or fast duels from it (unless you're using a self-burn deck). I also think that the structure decks that you can buy, at the very least, have good value for the cards included as there are at least 3 Ultra Rare cards in each one - Re-Contract currently has 4 - and they contain 45 cards for just 500 gems a deck - packs costing that same amount would have only 40 cards and maybe an Ultra Rare or 2 (the odds are at least 2.5% for each card, for about 1 per 40 cards). You can also buy 3 each for a lot of duplicates to disassemble (some can't, though), and some decent cards to mix and match as you please for more emphasis on certain synergies until you can build your own deck from packs. Personally, I edited the Cipher deck so that I could more easily summon the XYZ Galaxy Eyes dragons and it did a decent job in both the (previous event) XYZ exhibition and even Ranked a little bit (I'm only in Bronze atm). Also, some of the special card packs will be the only ones with access to certain cards, and some of them are good for practically any deck. In particular, Harpie's Feather Duster is a part of the, well, Harpie's archetype themed secret pack called "Glory on Wings", although it might be a rarer Ultra Rare than the other cards in the secret pack and the archetype is generally weaker than others.

[@Noblity54]

I think the thing is to play your way. I played as a kid and picked this up for nostalgia and I'm loving it. I've gone with a blue eyes deck despite the flack around it. I hopped off the yugioh train way before pendulums, synchros, basically just as fusion was a thing (from what I remember), so a dumbed down deck that chases the childhood nostalgia works for me. I've made it to Gold 2, and am looking for other deck archtypes to try, or modify the blue eyes archtype to incorporate some different wrinkles to the deck

[@cravenlestat7006]

Hey you should add Queen Dragun Djinn to your deck even though you play old school it is easy to slip in cause it is in your side deck plus requires no polymerization or ritual card etc you need nothing but to play normal with your dragon deck. It is a XYZ summon and they are simple she basically can be summoned when you have two level 4 monsters on the field so if the situation favors you go ahead and summon her.Her ability is discard one material used to summon her (your 2 level 4s are under the card and are material) and you basically get a free monster reborn from your grave on ANY!!!! dragon level 5 or higher.So you turned your two weak 4 stars into a 2200 dragon + a BEWD or whatever is in your graveyard A must add and easy summon for old school players it compliments BEWD decks goes great with all the summon power from grave like for normal/vanillas nowadays think of her as another call of the haunted THAT YOU CAN USE TWICE!!!! once per turn though 😁

I can testify that this video's advice, of using a rank 3 engine with Requiem Dragon as a wincon for ranking up in Season 1, is very solid: yesterday I installed this game, and a few minutes ago, right before YT recommended this video to me, I hit platinum by using a very similar build to the one shown here. Although, In my version I use BA alongside the PK, out of nostalgia for the good old PK Fire days. And honestly? I don't think the optimization of gems is as strict as you're making it sound. In one day of gameplay I "wasted" gems on stuff like getting the little 3D model of Ash Blossom as a mate (and frankly if you think getting yourself a cute mascot is a "waste" then we can't be friends), and I was still able to procure all the cards I needed for this PK Fire deck, plus I was able to put together an Altergeist deck which I'm currently in the process of refining, PLUS I have assembled the Dogmatika-Invoked-Shaddoll engine, which I'm currently in the process of building a deck around. All this without spending one singular penny of real money. I do admit that I got very lucky with the secret packs system (which in general is very generous and a seriously cool design idea, kudos to whomever thought of that), as when I bought the bundle that has Ash Blossom (the card), I pulled stuff from the packs in that one that unlocked exactly the secret packs I needed.

The packs in those bundles are overloaded and, again, Ash Blossom is just THAT important. Think about it: what makes Yugioh unfun? The fact that people who go turn 1 will perform 35 minutes combos that end in them having like 3 or 4 sources of negation on the field, so that, when your own turn begins, you won't be able to do anything. Ash Blossom is part of a very exclusive club of cards that can put a stop to those combos, if used correctly.

[@cassieclicks5026]

The only reason I think it's a waste is because rescue rabbit is the cutest, bestest mate anyone could ever have.

[@tearsoftomorrow7872]

​@@cassieclicks5026 Fair. Abandoning Rescue Rabbit was a difficult decision for me as well, but even so I couldn't say no to Ash Blossom. In addition to the cuteness, there is also the troll factor that comes with looking like a complete Ash Blossom fanboy (Ash Blossom mate + Ash Blossom card protector) so that, when you then mess up an enemy combo with Ash Blossom the card, it will feel a million times more annoying. An annoyed opponent is an opponent that makes mistakes, so see, there is a psychological advantage to be had here lol. Incidentally, am I the only one who's shocked that Rescue Rabbit is the default mate? I thought for sure it would be Kuriboh.

[@zephyrias]

@@tearsoftomorrow7872 i went and bought the ash blossom set too. I might even go for the City/town board with the cherry blossoms too. 🤣

[@JeffUy287]

Stupid me. Gonna tell my friend about this so he won't end up like me. At least I got the Step 5 right. :D Edit: Did he just say "dicks"?

[@dooms9676]

Wow just 2 minutes in this video incredible well done so much helpful ❤❤❤

[@bob420ert]

My best tip, would be to literally just save all the gems and shit you get for a while, just use the free decks you get from solo and everything, do your challenges, login everyday, and you'll rack up a very quick ten thousand or more gems, and even if you're stupid like me and bought a bunch of stuff right away, just follow my own little guide here and you'll be back at 10k a lot faster than you think

[@mikemurray8682]

So for the dual pass do you have to actually win in order to progress

[@SamusDaHero]

I think I read somewhere that if you win 1 game every day for like 70ish days, you'll complete the battle pass. Otherwise, if you play and lose 3 games a day you'll still complete it (it's like 120 points for a win, 50 for a loss). Don't surrender though! Lose points (or don't gain any at all) that way

[@TeemoonMaster]

This id what im question ing too

[@TeemoonMaster]

@@SamusDaHero Thanks for the info. I fear to buy it because i dont really have much time to play a game a day. And for one match spend around 30 minute, hope my internet connection dont betray me

[@SamusDaHero]

@@TeemoonMaster Since they're only single games, you shouldn't need more than 10 minutes max a day if you build a semi-competitive deck (going second decks like Machina, Mekk-Knights, or Thunder Dragons are very good). If you spend the 600 gems on the battle pass too you'll make em back if you got 10-15 minutes a day to grab a win or two

[@TeemoonMaster]

@@SamusDaHero thanks man. Danger chaos thunder dragon link lets go!

[@fenomenooo27]

I start yesterday I open so much packs and I don't what to do with my cards. I start with power of dragon and now what? I make my deck but I think is so shit

[@soralockhart8428]

Actually, the 1st 2 starter decks are actually useful, 1st one uses 2 blue eyes white dragons, essential for blue eyes decks so it saves time and you only need to craft one and the rest through packs and crafting. The synchros has at least some good staples like mst for most decks, then warrior returning alive for the warriors

[@McSwordy]

Mst hasn't been a staple for about 9 years man

[@maxjf1]

Quick tip: you can get the duel pass later if you want. You will get all prizes for your level (good to get at lvl 50)

[@julianadams3710]

I’ve already built a BLS Chaos deck, getting URs is so easy. The BLS link is over 70$ in real life here it took me like an hour of grinding to get 3 of it. Levianeer was piss easy to get as well.

You may not see this, but thanks for this video. The last time I played yugioh was in my highschool backyard nearly two decades ago. I want to play it now and absolutely know nothing. Thanks for this starter guide.

[@solemnyugioh]

Glad to hear :) Hope you enjoy!

[@joelgrebinsilvestri]

do this works for now? i am a noob and just starting this game.... its worth it?

[@AyuNico]

yes it works, just ignore the selection packs bit

[@alexnewsome24]

Thank you for the tutorial, haven’t played since I was a kid but now I have a friend group who play this. This will be a big help for sure

[@btvitek1671]

Idk when I last played yugioh, but holy fk wtf are all these new mob types? First round and that dude just has 3x mobs with 2,5+k dmg. When I am just chilling with my burner from 2012 or so :D

[@btvitek1671]

Actually even older than 2012

[@azazzelx]

nice gonna be on it.... since I formerly played duel links at least...

[@DukeApples]

Gems are too fking expensive in Master Duel...im trying to build a deck, i used 5000 of my built up free Gems and i barley made a dent into the deck, and its not like Real Money is gonna help, i could spens 100$ and still not have the deck made...if there was more value in spending money, i would do it.

[@DukeApples]

Spent it all on the correct booster pack, say in 50 packs, i get about 5 UR...andnif they are all wrong UR, then thats only 50 points...so i would have to spend 100$ for just two UR needed for the deck, and i need 10 more UR cards...

[@Idekanymore666]

I main ancient gears I'm not sure if this line of cards are in the game or if it's even a popular deck type lol I just really like the ancient gears

[@BTbone35]

I'm a new player in Yu-Gi-Oh, I've watched the anime the GX series but I have no knowledge in the actual game. And in my first ranked mode experience I encountered a player that made one of his monster reach 10k attack points, so yeah I wanna be like that guy so I'll continue playing

[@KinghtofZero00]

I started playing yugioh for the first time a well. The show doesn't help with anything and I think they had different rules lol

[@dabeast4800]

So far bronze is filled with complex turn 3 win decks lmao

[@CRAZYKID123454321]

that was me using my Madolches to OTK’d quite a few kids.

[@JockyCGE]

By watching this, i was able to save up around 9k gems and go ham on some card packs, of course while getting the ones you recommended and then some. Day 1: I was able to open Exodia's 4 limbs, and craft his head! I know it probably wasn't necessary to "git gud" but it's one i've always wanted to have in my collection.

[@josericardo8706]

Too late, I wanna cry

[@jesseRya]

Yu-Gi-Oh to me seems like a card game aimed at people that don't really like playing card games. 🤔 Shuffle, draw your five cards, then tell your opponent whether or not you win the game. How exactly is that even considered "playing" the game?

[@drakeillusion6533]

Can someone tell me why Konami didn't import cards from 2019? There are missing cards .. i don't see blue-eyes alternative ultimate dragon? I am sure there are more but this one I found.

[@Thatkid22765]

People ruining the game already , I play 2 games on ranked and got the win by the 3 people were already playing one turn kill shots summoning 30 cards for 40 min your forced to watch an endless chain of abuse by some prolly 40 year old moms basement troll 🤮

Welcome to modern Yugioh.

[@johnwickfromfortnite9506]

Average modern yu gi oh deck lmao

[@INDRA027_]

Also if anyone ends up reading this. Just craft an SR or UR that would be from a secret pack and it'll be there saving you a lot of gems.

[@brandonp4074]

Could you explain this a bit more? I haven't downloaded the game yet and have just been watching vids in preparation. Your comment seems good/useful, so I'd appreciate if you could elaborate on it a bit more, to get the best start in the game as I can.

@@brandonp4074 In master duel with crafting. If you can craft a card that’s from a secret pack then it’ll show up so you don’t have to dump countless gems into normal packs for a specific deck archetype.

[@Chaos_DY.twitch]

Great video. my only quarrel with it is that Yu-Gi-Oh is not "almost" two decades old. It's OVER two decades old! The manga was first published September of 1996. Konami then released the official card game in 1999 in Japan; the show on April 18th, 2000; and the card game, again, in 2002, but for North America. All in all, Yu-Gi-Oh is actually 23 years old!

[@twp3029]

this game feels absolutely impossible. cant even make it past the solo matches with the deck i chose. i played old school yugioh, so i have zero experience with all the new cards and fusion bs.

[@RhabarberPalaver]

Yugioh has become a piece of shit. In Ranked the opponents summon 50 cards in one turn and it needs 10 minutes to end there turn. Most of the games end within 2-3 turns. Its shit. I loved oldshool yugioh but with all these linkmonsters and xyz and so on its shit. Just my opinion.

[@twp3029]

@iNDERxHD God tell me about it. I'm pissed! Miss the old days. That's forsure. I'll just go back to D2 and dirty roulette lmao

Without a doubt, good advice, because of its value. Yet due to the fact format from 2004 to 2022 changed extremely, needs an explanation on a lot of concepts of the current meta.
