Já estava com saudades de jogar YuGiOh! da forma tradicional, diferente do modelo speed duel. Duel Links foi um jogo que me trouxe entreterimento por bastante tempo, mas eu não curtia muita a questão das skills, limitação das zonas, da falta de certas cartas e mecânicas e principalmente de ter muito P2W, muitas cartas tinha que comprar com dinheiro de verdade. Quando comecei a jogar o Duel Master bateu uma forte nostalgia de quando eu jogava na escola com meus amigos. Era disso que eu esperava, um jogo gratuito com as regras e mecânicas atualizadas. Poder jogar com cartas Pêndulos e Link. Sem dúvidas a Konami acertou legal nesse ponto.

If you're someone who hasn't played Yu Gi Oh in a while I'd recommend this game to get back into the series, the single player tutorials are well explained and teach you shit like Synchros, Xyz, Pendulum, Link summons. Also the game is pretty generous with gems you can buy at least 1 or 2 packs a day as long as you do the dailies which takes 10-20 minutes tops.
The only negative is that most of the top tier ranks are dominated by tryhard meta decks, and you can't reallyt be creative when it comes to deck building in this game as everything revolves around archetypes. The events are pretty fun though and give you a ton of gems.

Master Duel's greatest strength is giving players who would never play the paper game irl a chance to relive old formats in a well designed online simulator. Dinos, a blind second ABC pile deck and Adamancipator are basically my 3 favorite decks of all time. Misc is still at 3, Union Carrier is banned and Block Dragon is banned. if they hit Misc I will probably quit Yugioh forever, but thats ok because I've only spent about 5 grand on the cards without ever playing any of them and well maybe 3 thousand hours over the last 8 years?

But what really matters is...will Maxx C ever get banned and can the game just be a little less laggy? No other complaints really.

Only multiplayer game I consistently play. I'm brand new to Yugioh, and the single-player manages to break down the mechanics of a 20-year-old card game super well. I see people complain about XYZ and Pendulum, and at this point, it's your fault if you don't get it. A complaint I have is that ranked is the only way to get rewards, and that once you hit platinum, meta slaves become so common that playing non-meta deck archetypes feels like bashing your head into a wall. I also wish alternate game modes existed as a player coming from Magic the Gathering; give me something like commander or pauper. Otherwise, as a f2p it's very generous and a whole lot of fun.
