How to Get More Cards?
Master Duel gives you a generous number of gems just for completing the tutorial and logging in the first time. You can use these gems to purchase various card bundles. The bundles include 10 card packs, each with at least one Super Rare card and Ultra Rare card. The card shown on the bundle preview page will always be in the bundle.
You can dismantle cards you don’t want for additional materials for crafting. These packs also have a chance at unlocking Secret Packs. Normally, you have to spend 100 gems to get a Secret Pack. Each Secret Pack has a select set of rare, highlight cards you may obtain with each draw.
Those are the top 3 strongest decks for ranked matches in YuGiOh Master Duel. We would love to know which deck you are using. Let us know in the comments below if you know of any other decks that are strong – especially in ranked.
Oh man how I would love for six samurai to actually be top tier but they are not sadly…. none of these decks are actually top meta picks… to anyone who reads this I wouldn’t waste your efforts and resources building these decks unless you just want to for fun… They may win a few for you here and there but they get stomped on by many higher tier choices..
Im just trying to build an op Spellcaster deck, i liked Link Evolution where you just purchase cards from the shop as you unlock new packs by completing the campaign. Not all this micro transaction dlc stuff, and i hate how you need a constant Internet connection even for playing solo.
That’s great!
