Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel Guide for *Totally Normal People*

---

Welcome to **Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel** - a game where you summon 12 dragons, 5 wizards, 3 pieces of plastic furniture, and somehow win with 100 LP left. If you're new, **good luck**, because every experienced player out there is basically a **card-flipping wizard overlord** with *50-step combos* that summon boards so strong you'll wonder if they're playing the same game. But don't worry! With this **not-at-all-serious-but-kinda-helpful** guide, you'll be beating them in no time. or at least, understand what's going on while you lose.

Chapter 1:The 5-Minute Duel That Takes 30 Minutes

### Chapter 1: The 5-Minute Duel That Takes 30 Minutes

If you've ever found yourself wondering how a single duel can stretch longer than the average lunch break, you're about to learn. In Master Duel, **the first two minutes are important** — that's the part where your opponent draws their opening hand and **plays solitaire for 20 minutes**. By the time they're finally done, you'll get to start your turn. to surrender.

#### Pro Tip: **Play Before They Do**

**Hand traps are your best friend**. Think of them like throwing marbles on your opponent's dance floor: **Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring** and **Maxx "C"**, which will either make it not possible or think twice about showing off that 100-card parade of summoning that they want to do.

- **Set traps before knowing what you are doing** — You don't need to know your deck, hit them with a surprise **Infinite Impermanence**. It is like chucking a brick at the face of their most important monster.

Chapter 2: Deck Building (A.K.A. Debt Simulator 3000)

### Chapter 2: Deck Building (A.K.A. Debt Simulator 3000)

To be competitive in Yu-Gi-Oh!, you have to either:

1. Be really lucky, or

2. Sell your soul and wallet to Konami for packs.

Deck building is where you either spend hours crafting the perfect strategy. or you steal one from the internet, which is much easier.

#### Pro Tip: **Just Netdeck It**

- Let's be real there is no shame in this. **Google "meta decks"** and just copy one that looks cool. Now you are *kinda* a pro! ????

Shiny cards mean stronger cards — scientifically proven by 9 out of 10 people who like to show off. Spend your crafting points making those slick, shiny bordered cards. You'll still lose, but at least you'll look rich losing.

Chapter 3: The Rules (Which Don't Matter)

Remember when Yu-Gi-Oh! had sensible rules? Yeah, forget all that. This is a game about **screwing over your opponent's life choices** and spamming your deck faster than they can say, "Holy crap, I am being raped by cards."

#### Pro Tip: **Mastering Chains**

- Chains: These occur when two or more effects happen at the same time. This is what's going to happen: You try and do something cool, then your opponent responds with some super counteractive move that just completely ruins your day. The key is to not get confused when you see 17 cards activate all at once. Just act like you know what is happening.

- **Chain your tears** as you watch your opponent negate your card and then summon **5 Eldlichs** out of nowhere.

Chapter 4: Your Deck Is Never Good Enough

Regardless of how much money or time you invest, **there is always a better deck**. You will finally finish building your **perfect Blue-Eyes White Dragon deck** only to get destroyed by some kid playing some **deck of vegetables**.

#### Pro Tip: **Play What You Love**

- **Meta-schmeta** — Forget about the meta. *Play the deck that makes you happy*, because whether you're playing dinosaurs, magicians or literal piles of trash, you're gonna lose to some combo you never heard of. But at least you'll lose with style.

- **Don't concern yourself with wins** — Just focus on how many dragons you can summon before your opponent rage quits.

Chapter 5: Your First Ranked Match (and Last)

You've made your deck, watched some YouTube tutorials, and you're ready to hop into **Ranked Mode**. Here's what you should expect:

* **Turn 1**: The opponent wins the coin flip and goes first.

* **Turn 2**: They summon **8 monsters**, set 4 traps, and end with an invincible dragon that laughs at you.

- **Turn 3**: You **draw a single card**, try to play something, and get instantly negated.

- **Turn 4**: You concede, uninstall, and question life choices.

#### Pro Tip: **Keep Climbing**

- **Even if you lose**, you'll gain points just for playing. So, technically, losing *is* winning! ????

- **Blame the RNG** — When in doubt always say "bad hand" or "bad luck." Never your fault, just the *Heart of the Cards* betraying you.

Final Thoughts: Welcome To The Chaos

Final Thoughts: Welcome to the Chaos

Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel is a land of mystery, betrayal, and **summoning 15 monsters in one turn**. If ever out of sorts just remember this:

- **No one** really knows what's going on.

- **your opponent** is equally confused half of the time, too.

- **Winning** is optional. Having a good time confusing your opponent with your sh#t deck? Priceless.

Good luck, duelist! See you at the surrender button!
