TLDR: Don't bother, it is not worth getting back into Yu-Gi-Oh or starting as a new player because of the current state of the Trading Card Game (TCG), which is slow and tedious because your opponent takes 5/10 minutes making combos where you are just sitting there doing nothing but watch. Even if you put the time and effort into figuring out what all cards(over 14k unique cards at this point) do, it doesn't matter if you don't have the correct cards to stop it and in the current meta you can almost never win if you go second because of the amount of negates that the opponent has put on the board. I was playing Yu-Gi-Oh Legacy of the Duelist (on the switch) and made a Amazoness deck and looked online which other cards were available and saw that it was missing quite a few cards and came across this game which had these new cards available. So I started working towards a fun deck that uses these cards and the road to getting my deck ready was the most boring experience I ever had in a TCG ever. In Bronze 3 (rating goes rabbit 2>1 then bronze 5>1,etc) I was playing already playing against a majority of people that were using Meta decks where I think the lowest win rate that I saw was 48%. This wasn't just 1 duel this was 30/40 duels all where I didn't stand a chance because I was still mostly using the starter deck(because I wanted to use my currency for my Amazoness deck) which is absolutely horrible against anything competent. At a rating this low you would expect more players that are using more simple decks or starter decks and not 48%+ winrate meta decks. The biggest issue was how long it takes to just lose against these meta decks. It takes them sometimes 10 minutes to set everything up and make combos and I would put down a monster and a few spell/traps which get all destroyed/negated because current day Yu-Gi-Oh cards do multiple things at a time and can shut you down completely without even being able to respond to it (if you are not using meta decks/handtraps). Sometimes my opponent took more time during my turn than I did. So after suffering through the game I got my Amazoness deck together and after playing a few games, (which all were against meta decks) I just quit the game because I knew it wasn't going to get any better without trying to find people outside the game to have more casual games against. So now I am just hoping that we get another Legacy of the Duelist game that has the Amazoness cards that I want to play around with and that I can use against the AI (that is not using Meta decks) or more casual people. I would give suggestions on how to make this game better but Yu-Gi-Oh is too far gone. Even if you introduce summon restraints like max 1 normal and 1 special summon there are too many cards that are too busted at this point and that do too much. Even after these changes i am sure that Konami would just introduce more broken cards/mechanics that would just put the game on the same track. I think at this point for people like me that are sick of current Yu-Gi-Oh (long opponent turns/busted cards) Konami should make a game that is seperate from current Yu-Gi-Oh and completely restart and start out again with just : Normal monsters Simple special effect monsters (e.g. when this monster gets destroyed put a monster with X attack in your hand)) Ritual monsters Fusion monsters Spells Traps

Had to Alt+f4 to leave the game, other than that it's too complicated for a casual boredom buster which is what I was looking for. From what I experienced it would be about 4.75/10 however since the menu and exit was so awful I needed Alt+f4 to exit the game, so I give it 2/10.
Almost as bad as Neopets Battledome
Toller Simulator, aber das TCG hat sich selbst überholt. Ich muss diese Bewertung in zwei Teile spalten: das Videospiel und das Kartenspiel an sich. Master Duel aus technischer Sicht: Als TCG-Simulator lässt Master Duel kaum Wünsche offen. Die Grafik ist fantastisch, die Effekte wirken dynamisch, die Bedienung ist extrem intuitiv und flüssig. Es bietet im Grunde alles, was man von einer digitalen Umsetzung eines Sammelkartenspiels erwartet. Ein absolut top umgesetzter Simulator. Das Kartenspiel: Inzwischen enttäuschend Als Veteran der ersten Stunde (Release in Deutschland) wollte ich dem Spiel noch eine Chance geben, obwohl es mich über die Jahre verloren hat. Das Ergebnis ist ernüchternd: Durch den jahrelangen, extremen Powercreep verkommt fast jede Partie zu einem reinen Starthand-Vergleich in Spielzug 1. Fazit Der ursprüngliche Reiz – das taktische Hin und Her und die echte Interaktion zwischen zwei Spielern – ist zumindest für mich gleich Null. Wer den aktuellen kompetitiven Meta-Zirkus mag, wird bedient. Wer nostalgisch oder auf der Suche nach tiefgründigen Duellen ist, wird enttäuscht. Solo-Modus als Rettungsanker: Der einzige Weg, das Spiel überhaupt noch so zu erleben, wie es mal gedacht war, ist der Solo-Modus gegen die K.I. Wer daran Freude hat, macht hier nichts falsch.
Solo es online, no te deja jugar con tus personajes favoritos del anime, no es amigable con los principiantes, no puedo comunicarme con mi rival, hay cartas muy desbalanceadas, muy pocos modos de juego, cartas con efectos que no funcionan como deben, faltan filtros más especificos para buscar cartas al armar el deck, generar cartas no es intuitivo, el menú principal es algo confuso, modos historia muy poco interesantes, gran variedad de cartas que son injugables en cualquier modo de juego excepto con amigos, y aún así faltan varias cartas. Ni te molestes, ve a jugar Duel Links, el mejor Yu Gi Oh! de Steam actualmente.
when you want to do a deck from scratch it's PAINFUL and it feel similar to duel links but more painful to use
YU-GI-OH MASTER DUEL is one of the best digital adaptations of the YU-GI-OH! card game. it has smooth gameplay beautiful summon animation and a massive collection of cards. performance is excellent as well. the game runs smoothly, loads quickly, and is well optimized even during intense duels. whether you're a competitive duelist or just returning for nostalgia, this game is absolutely worth trying.
the only place to duel
I've always been more of a MTG player, but this legit makes me never want to try Yugioh. My opponent's turns always take 10 years for one of two reasons; 1. They're staring blankly at their cards doing ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ nothing. 2. They're in the middle of summoning an 8000 atk 7500 def monster from the bowels of their unwashed anus by playing almost their entire deck, while all I had out on the field was some little ♥♥♥♥ 100 atk 200 def dragon whose whole point is to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ die so I can special summon something.
If you like go fish this is the game for you. The feeling of drawing pure engine going second is brutal because you know you will lose 80% of the time. The power creep is out of control and Konami's apparent attraction to game ending cards(Flood gates and Maxx C. They have improved on this but for some reason wont ban them so you will randomly get non-games from it) that are auto wins make it truly a miserable experience. It is sad because this is a well made game entirely ruined by balancing decisions. Also, when the game first came out deck engines often had 1-3 ultra rares and 1-5 super rares depending on the engine size. Now, decks are being released where all relevant engine are super rare or ultra rare. With power creep as it is, they are really trying to push you into spending money every time a new meta deck is released. It feels intentional to me. I would recommend staying away from Master Duel until these issues are addressed.
