What do you suggest for building multiple decks (but each one you need 1 or 2 URs and already have all your SRs) total of 3 different decks? I have a few more staples I need in another deck but they are all available only in Master Packs? Should I "waste" SR to try unlock the Secret Pack and use gems until I get the UR or just buy master pack until I get enough crafting materials?
@@Jghost11 Don't craft UR's that you can get in secret packs.... ONLY craft cards that are exclusive to the master packs, eg. Infinite Impudence, Maxx C, Effect Veiler, Solemn Stike, Solemn Judgement. ALSO don't craft semi-limited UR's until your finished buying packs (I crafted some UR's early and got them in a pack so pretty much wasted 20UR) Stuff like forbidden droplets can be pulled from secret packs. exclusively
I am recreate new account 3 days ago. In my old accont i can only build 2 deck. (Sky striker and dragon maid) When i figure out the best way for pull pack i decide to make new account and On my 3 days account i am already build 3 deck (adaman, Sky striker, and Triizoo) and tryy to build Dragon maid RN.
@@Jghost11 from what i do. 1.yes you sould craft 1 SR in the secret pack for unlock it. 2. Just pull secret pack until you got The UR you need. eX in sky striker pack you need pull 2Engage and 1 kagari. Dont waste gems for pulling SR btw. 3. When you already pull all Core card you can move to other pack. (EX: pull for droplet or nibiru in their own pack) 4. In limited starting gems your deck should attleast aim for working deck (getting core 1st after that staple). 5. Just dismantle the unwanted UR. 6. If you already build your 1st deck. You can sett your goal for next deck. And craft the Staple (but you need to focus on your primary deck 1st). Next deck goal is nedded for you not waste gems for pulling random pack.
Welp, glad I already knew this. It just makes sense. Why would I pull in a random box for stuff I have no use for when I can pull on a very specific box that has the cards I'm looking for with a MUCH higher chance at getting them? It's a no brainer and something I picked up on immediately.
That's what I'm saying, I'm not trashing on dkayed but I have little experience with gacha games, like a few months altogether, and this was obvious as hell
@@jesty5329 yeah I'm f2p, my initial thought more than anything was how easy will it be to make another account, took no effort, just needed a different profile on console or steam account on PC
Here's my takeaway: Do NOT pull from any packs that aren't Secret Packs. If a card you need can be found in an SP, craft an SR from that SP and pull from there directly. Why is this viable? Because SRs aren't SRs at all--and that is by NO means a complaint--, they're plentiful--and SHOULD stay as such.
If you only need 1 ur from that secret pack tho i think that crafting the card is way better, if you aren't super lucky you may have to spend 4/5k gems before getting the card, and for f2p players gems dry up quickly(especially on extra decks ur...)
@@rg03500 yeah I've been doing as much as I can and I keep grinding solo mode so I cant get that 200 gems from the final gate duel. Tbh I understand they generous from the starting release but for a daily log in to be only 20 gems afterwards is kinda upsetting for most ppl
It's 24hr from every initial unlock which resets when a holo is pulled from the pack. Anyway, investing every 1000 into a pack will use up CP fast. I now know I should save up like 10K before crafting the single and go nuts on that pack.
It's pretty easy to tell the Master Packs are useless, regardless of that spending any money on this game is a mistake just one look at the money to gem ratio was enough to make me put my wallet away, people who throw money at the game anyway are just telling Konami the jacked up prices are okay (Content creators I understand though).
@@tiktokexposed898 Lmao No they will not. Besides, not like every single person gonna stop buying. I refuse to spend money myself, just make a new account if you wanna make a new deck that badly.
One thing not mentioned: dismantling different foil finish cards yields different points. The rarer the foil finish, the more points you can get. Unless you actively decide that you want to bling your deck, always dismantle the shinier cards first because you get more CP for that card.
Royal foils basically can be a refund (30 cp) but they're so rare, I only have 6. While Glossys are half a refund (15 cp). And finally normals are a third of a refund (10 cp).
Save up a good amount of Gems before digging a Secret Pack because to immediately have access to it, you will need 1 Craft of any SR or UR from that pack. How many? Your call. If you do just 1K a day, you'll be crafting too much from that, using up resources.
I'm happy that I did some research before jumping into this game. I knew which good main deck I wanted. The guarantee UR in the secret packs bundles was a life saver.
Imagine wasting 5k on this game just to lose the same way a f2P players does . Because you didnt have 3 diferent kinds of hand traps on hand when your oponent using a meta combo deck went first.
but he's "wasting" money, he littearlly gets his money from YuGiOh content (streams and videos), its an investment that he will get back an tripled in a month...
I started a new account a few days ago on my xbox determined to avoid the mistakes on my first account (I'm F2P). All of the bundles are worth it for the UR alone and the fact the 10 master packs are discounted is a nice bonus(I picked up an additional ash in one of mine!). The next task was to pick a deck and pull the cards you need from secret packs then fish for staples. I got all the tri-brigade cards and then realized I needed darklord cards for my Nurse burn anyway and low and behold I pulled 2 forbidden droplets. After spending WAY to much on trying to get rescue cat (only got one after 5K gems), my next mission is to try to pull a nightmare unicorn. Pretty proud of how I managed my gems so far.
Yeah this game is surprisingly f2p friendly. You want to play multiple decks then just make more steam accounts. You get access to over 9k gems easy per account at start once you do the summoning training on solo mode. If you do a little more of the solo mode, you get 50 UR craft points and gems. You can easily build an optimal deck within 2 hours.
@@TheUcHiHaMaD yes you need..1 steam account only support 1 konami account. also, dont ever make a mistake delete your account...since it punish you a lot
@@TheUcHiHaMaD yes you do. Each steam account needs a new email. Just make a notepad document and put it on your desktop to keep track of your accounts. I also recommend making multiple Konami accounts. Don't want to accidentally lose your accounts.
the most soul crushing thing about the hero deck is that not only is it filled to the ass with URs but its filled with URs across 3 diff secret packs, "First Heros" for your elemental heros, "Shrouded Heros" for your destiny Heros, and "Transfigured Heros" for your evil heros, granted can just craft the adusted gold and the malicious bane but thats still 30 UR and SR points gone for one part of your engine. All that then you can complete the deck assuming you crafted the 6 total UR handtraps you will also need
I wouldn’t blame the dev. I would blame myself if I did NOT do my own due diligence on impulse buyout on all the normal packs lol. As for the bug where it did not put the UR in your deck, should’ve looked & verify for your own sake lol even though it’s a bug. The recommended way to gem iMO is you don’t need to pull from the normal packs. Buy the bundle packs All 3 & whatever you pull there craft 1 SR to get your secret pack. To unlock your specific secret pack look for the UR you need and click on “how to obtain” & cross reference if the SR in the “related cards” is also in the same pack as your UR. If they’re in the same pack you then craft the SR you need in the related cards to unlock the secret pack. ONLY pull for the UR you need in that secret pack but you don’t need 3 copies yet even if your deck needs it. Move onto the next pack for your next UR & repeat. Once you get a deck going accumulate your “bonus pack” through playing the game and you can utilize that to unlock your secret pack as well if you don’t want to craft an SR that you don’t need & the bonus pack will be if you’re lucky on pull.
Yup you made a mistake and that’s unfortunate, I haven’t spent a single penny and I got a tier 1 tri-zoo deck with 3 maxx c and ash + 2 called by grave and 2 nib. This game is super F2P friendly. And I still have gems left :)
If you're not completely commited to one deck, you can try making randomness work in your favor. Do this by picking your secret pack around a core UR that you randomly obtained from the bundles or free packs. I chose sky striker since my first UR ever from a pack was Kagari. This meant that i am likely to craft less URs from making the same deck (though i still had to craft zeke and engage after four 10x pulls). On average, a 10x pull gives 2.2 (or close to that numer) URs. Maybe half of that is related to the archetype you actually pulled from. Take this into consideration before reserving the gems needed.
Here's my experience, if you f2p, you should save a gems a build a proper deck with it, but keep in mind, theres no gurantee you can play that deck forever. Konami always update their ban list card. Who know later on konami put eldlich in limited 1.
Really good video, this are golden informations for new players! For me the best way to have a good start on Master Duel, with no money involved, and climb the rank ladder was really simple, you have to KNOW AND BUILD just one really good deck…making the starting solo mode, open the secret packs of that deck you want to play, recycle all the SR and UR you don’t want, and finally craft the staples and some cards you re missing in that only deck you want! Now if you want multiples god-like decks , thats more complicated and eventually you going to spend some money on the game!
2:10 dude honestly they really have to change this, its the worst, i dont think i crafted a card that i dont need yet, (to my knowledge at least) but i can definitely see how this is a massive issue
@@Elilymo im not sure what you mean, he explained the issue in the video, the game does not tell you if you already have a copy of a card when its of a different rarity, it will pretend like you have zero, so unless you mentally keep track of every single card you ever pulled, then you will have no idea if you already have some cards or not, unless you check every single card yourself before you craft one. i had that same issue myself before, luckily it was only a common, i pulled a revolt, i knew i did, but in the decklist that i copied it still didnt show up, i was so confused, usually as soon as you pick one of the cards up they instantly get put in the deck, but that didnt happen there, at first i thought it was a glitch or something, i eventually found out that my revolt had this golden glow, thats why it didnt show up in my deck, really stupid.
@@Elilymo this makes zero sense dude, if the game says i have zero stratos, then im expecting to own zero stratos, not one, that doesnt show up, i mean what do you want from me dude, dekayed agrees with me.
yeah well, another lesson: if you have multiple archetypes you really like, choose one, build a strong deck from that first, and only think about getting another one, once the first is strong enough to carry you through platinum
the game is very generous starting out. was able to make an eldrich control deck and climb to low gold in hours.. then had enough stuff to make a zoodiac deck. alt account are great herefor f2p because of the card acquisition. though i do feel having one account with most of your equity is best, its just not possible f2p. thanks for your content and stories
Another huge mistake. Don’t craft into a limit whether that’s a 3 of Limit or a ban list limit The only exception I made was called by. Allow your account to grow gracefully. 2 of anything that’s a staple is usually enough. You have to remember that every time you get more copies of something than you can use you’re effectively losing 20 ur crafting Points. You’re eventually going to get all the cards you need in max copies by just randomly pulling them. Maybe there will be more bundles. Be patient. Believe it or not every top 10 staple in the game has a wal mart brand alternative to it that may not be as good but comparable. Some of SRs some are rares. Use those as your 3rd copy of URs you don’t have yet. Use flood gate srs Use chalice fir Imp or droplets. Use de crow for called by grave removal. Use skull Meister Use Artifact for ghost URs. Use that quick play spell that allows you to draw cards from cards added to your opponents hand. It’s like a maxxx c that can also check maxx c. So it’s maxx c and blossom hybrid. Use more pots to replace a 3rd maxx c
Dyked honestly your mistakes were only made because your an awesome Yu-Gi-Oh! RUclipsr and we get it, as probably the biggest RUclipsr for yugioh, you have to put out lots of content fast! and someone as busy as yourself can’t be experimenting , or spending time seeing these mistakes being pointed out weeks ago from other RUclipsrs, and I’m sure you don’t have all the time in the world to collect gems from solo missions or making a new account. But I’m glad you are shedding the light on this topic and made these mistakes so the rest of us don’t, and I hope you make more content on how CRUCIAL it is to MAKE MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS and how it can save other people $1000’s because I’d be extremely pissed spending that much money.
@@BelaaNo yeah, maybe for duel links? ... I remember Shady penguin popping off back in the day but no so much now. On the other hand ... I didn't realize how big on twitch Dkayed is.... I just logged in once and saw he had 11.5K veiws. I would think that's bigger than any other Yu GI oh streamer?
@@nivernjohn7986 he is only big for duel links. the reason why he had a big following on twitch was because he had submarathon. else he is lingering lower but still insane. but the talk is also about youtube and not twitch
ultimately none of this really matters if you are just making new accounts to make the most of early gem rewards.. i have 3 accounts where i have 2 decks each on them and spending all my UR/SR tokens early doesn't matter if you're only using that specific account to make a specific deck or two. this is only going to be more relevant as new packs are released as older decks may be less viable and the pool of staples increases which really hurts players that are putting a lot of money into the game so early on in its life cycle
@@arthurskate7292 yeah on steam, you'll need to make a new steam account with a different email. sounds like a hassle but makes sense when you realise like 80% of the total gems are made available within the first few hours of play time.. gives you the resources to make one or two decks without having to buy gems on your main
Thats why i dont dismantle any under 3 copies. So far i build myself 3 very good decks and the 4th is done as soon ss i get more sr and ur crystals welp
I just want to let you guys know that I got a Called by the Grave when I was pulling on Valiant Galdiator Beast secret pack. But that happened long way after I craft 2 copies of Called by the Grave. Sometimes blessing feels like a curse, you know.
i think you can justify 1 pull from stalwart force because it triggers a lot of secret packs. And the cards you get there are mostly meta relevant right now or a generic staple like kristron needlefiber
If I remember correctly, Stalwart Force has the highest concentration of UR/SR. So if you like burning money just for crafting resources, that can be a tool.
I actually did craft secret pack stuff , but it was just to finish the initial Dragonmaid core. I pulled one copy of them first, since I thought you needed to own a card before crafting more , but it worked out. I believe I use practically all my gems before crafting, so it was kind of a "craft and have the core" or "don't craft and have to unlock the secret pack again later" situation.
I think the optimal strategy is: 1 play the game daily and do daily mission for pile up to 5 K gems > 2 craft 1 high-rarity card from the set u need > 3 unlock the "secret pack" > 4 spend gems until u have the cards from the set > 5 dismantle what u don't need > 6 (if u have more gems) repeat from step 2; (if u don't have more gems) repeat from step 1
I mean... You spent over 5k on this game, but to be fair, this is literally your job. It's not like you're actually whailing here. You're one of the few exceptions that actually HAS a valid reason to spend for this game, so never feel ashamed of it. You're doing it for all of us! :) The fact you enjoy it (maybe,I don't know. I don't like to assume things) is just a perk. Also, it hurts to hear you only learned to go for secret packs recently. I mourn for your wallet. D: Kindof wish I shared it with you on day one. Was under the impression the ig names would figure this out early on too. Went in fully expecting this game to be super generous on gems early on only to dry up to a trickle sooner or later, like they did with Duel Links. So I was careful about everything I used gems for early on. This foresight payed off big time. Realized what you mentioned instantly when I saw the loot table of the reg. packs. The two named packs are all over the place and the Master pack's loot table is WAY too diluted. Bought the three bundles and never touched those packs again, because I learned through those packs about the "secret pack" system. Abused the crafting system to get needed cards/unlock secret packs I needed and ended up with 2 complete decks without paying a dime. Anyway. Again, it sucks you went through this. Glad you're putting up a video about it to raise other player's awareness. Keep up the awesome work! :)
I think he approached it wrong. If he was willing to spend the 5k he was going to do it regardless. What I think he could have said, is how efficient he could have spent the 5k, instead of the saving money approach. If he was efficient, he could have had way more completed decks for us to watch him play around with. More decks, more content for us to enjoy.
Whaaat! How did he spend 5K!? Secret pack is great tip though ty for that. Personally I do not run call of the grave myself I did not see the benifit vs having the main cards myself. You can’t use it on your opponent first turn anyways. Question I have is how do we know when newest pack /cards will arrive?
Love you for doing this video, extremely helpful for everyone. BUT I do not advice to craft Secret Packs in order to get for just 1 UR and 0 SR, remember your chances of pulling that one UR are VERY LOW. Going for secret packs that include multiple SR and a few UR will increase your chances of getting more value for your gems (yes SR can be important too). Remember every 10 boosters you will get 0-3 UR (0 and 3 being quite rare but you could get 4+ in theory) and there is no guarantee those UR will be from the secret pack special collection, and even IF you get an UR from the secret pack collection secret packs can have at least 4 UR.
I love your videos brother great channel. I just need some advice I have about 15k gems 💎 I play f2p DM deck haven't played in 20 years trying to learn the system I got the hang of it tho. What would you recommend to build on this 15k gems 💎 top tier deck
I don't see the point of spending money in Master Duel. You can build your first deck excessively easily and if you're bored and want to play something else, just create another account and craft every card very easily
@@asdsdsd1092 Even then, if you don't have time would you really spend money knowing there's a way to get all you want for free... I only have one account but I'm not willing to spend money because it's so repulsive to know that you gain nothing doing so
As a free to play player I figured this out in the first 2 minutes of playing. I will say if I don't play religiously it can take a while to build multiple decks like this. But it's definitely doable.
My thing is I’m still getting into yugioh and I’ve made some what finished 4 decks but since I’m newish there’s a lot of archetypes I don’t know about so how do I learn about new ones with out those three card packs ? I’ve made Dinomist, ba, magical musketeers, and ancient warriors for the most part
Crafting cards like dropplet or nibiru is fine cause the selection box only contain bad archetypes or cards you don't need/want. Imperm and veiler are nice and aren't in a pack but I find that dropplet is just better than those and more splash-able so instead of wasting gems in a pack full of cards I'm not going to use, it's better to craft. I guess an exception to the rule are whales as they have far more gems than F2P so pulling from a secret pack even if it's a bad one is way better than trying to get it from a master pack
Except if you run too low on Srs you would need to open packs to get the Srs to craft into a secret pack, and at that point that basically opening 2 plus packs.
I personally got dark ruler no more from the herald pack even though it's written that it's only in the master pack. You really cannot trust the accuracy. Ash, Maxx C, etc. might actually also be in other packs where the chance of pulling them is pretty high...
I haven't spend any money on this game yet there are things I would have liked to have done differently. Craft any Master Packs, not use gems up on those packs. And go directly for the cards I need which I ended up doing. Ended up with 50 UR that are not from starter decks. It's really hard to get more UR points. Basically have to pull everything at this point.
I’ve managed to make 3 fun/optimal decks even after crafting and building a bad deck like ninjas at the start. This is why I will forever love this game over duel links and now it’s on mobile
For what it’s worth I’ve made a full Zombie World deck, a full Dinosaur/True Draco deck, and a full on Eldlich deck with spending $0.00 There are ways folks Granted I still only have 2 ash and 2 maxxc
@@knapper212 he is paying 5 but he is getting 20 just for playing games I do agree with you that you shouldn't spend money on the game if you are not going to get it back but for him like he even said "the 5k was not even the problem"
Can the Master Duel Meta website also put the cards which are master pack exclusive? Coz we don’t know all the cards that are exclusive to master packs alone
The only reason to open Master Packs is you got lucky af pulling the core for the decks you want to play and have left over gems to try your luck further.
I've spent around $150 Canadian so far and I have like 10 decks built just waiting until I have the resources to craft vyon, I've also randomly gotten called by the grave and imperial order from packs
Yea I learned this after like 3hrs of play. I got some sweet pulls from the master pack. 3 of pot of extrav. 2 desire. 1 prosperity. Then went straight into secret packs.
I made a second account on my phone and was randomly pulling packs till I remembered that droplet was in a secret pack that I just pulled and I was like might as well try, and pulled TWO in one multi
if u don't really know what deck u want to play, just buy those 3 bundle deal and see what UR u get to decide if u already have a decision of ur deck also grab those bundle and craft for secret
I made sky strikers on a new account full power, if you get the duel pass + all the in game cp I'm pretty sure you can craft 9x UR. hardly never crafted a card from a secret pack, i got lucky on on multiple accounts & pulled Phoenix unicorn & code talker from my free pulls
I am proud of myself I made 3 decks zoo tribrigade(90% power without nibiru),witchcrafters full power 60 card deck,evil twins unchained full power with many interruptions like gamma maxxc called by ash droplet and I didn’t spend a penny
There was a guide on the Reddit forum for beginners. That rly stressed never to pull on the master packs. Just craft the SR u need and pull from secret packs. I spent $120CAD to get all the ALL the staple hand traps and a very expensive hero deck. Plat 1 each season.
U can make 2 decks atleast from secret packs on a new account... I don't use meta secret packs I just go by whatever secret packs I unlock then read the featured cards to see if I like the idea of that deck
They need to rotate the secret packs like most FTP rotate heroes. I’m tired of only being able to buy packs after crafting a Super Rare. I’m going to hold the rest of my CP until this is changed

Same I still play duel links and I knew better to just jump in
There is only a guaranteed ur in the secret pack if you dont pull a ur then in your next 10 purchase you will get a ur and this is random
Imagine wasting 5k on this game just to lose the same way a f2P players does . Because you didnt have 3 diferent kinds of hand traps on hand when your oponent using a meta combo deck went first.
but he's "wasting" money, he littearlly gets his money from YuGiOh content (streams and videos), its an investment that he will get back an tripled in a month...
It would be a waste had he been just some randomer using rent money to buy packs, but here you could argue is more like an investment
I started a new account a few days ago on my xbox determined to avoid the mistakes on my first account (I'm F2P). All of the bundles are worth it for the UR alone and the fact the 10 master packs are discounted is a nice bonus(I picked up an additional ash in one of mine!). The next task was to pick a deck and pull the cards you need from secret packs then fish for staples. I got all the tri-brigade cards and then realized I needed darklord cards for my Nurse burn anyway and low and behold I pulled 2 forbidden droplets. After spending WAY to much on trying to get rescue cat (only got one after 5K gems), my next mission is to try to pull a nightmare unicorn. Pretty proud of how I managed my gems so far.
I remember reading a comment of a guy spending 800 on the game for one card of a deck an didn't even realize he could craft in the game lol
its the same when you add cards on bookmark, it will show that you only have 2 of a card even tho you got 3 because the last one was foil
Yeah this game is surprisingly f2p friendly. You want to play multiple decks then just make more steam accounts. You get access to over 9k gems easy per account at start once you do the summoning training on solo mode. If you do a little more of the solo mode, you get 50 UR craft points and gems. You can easily build an optimal deck within 2 hours.
Hey do you need a new email for each account?
@@TheUcHiHaMaD yes you need..1 steam account only support 1 konami account.
also, dont ever make a mistake delete your account...since it punish you a lot
@@TheUcHiHaMaD yes you do. Each steam account needs a new email. Just make a notepad document and put it on your desktop to keep track of your accounts. I also recommend making multiple Konami accounts. Don't want to accidentally lose your accounts.
If you're on console it's a bit more complicated and perhaps costly depending on the console.
the most soul crushing thing about the hero deck is that not only is it filled to the ass with URs but its filled with URs across 3 diff secret packs, "First Heros" for your elemental heros, "Shrouded Heros" for your destiny Heros, and "Transfigured Heros" for your evil heros, granted can just craft the adusted gold and the malicious bane but thats still 30 UR and SR points gone for one part of your engine. All that then you can complete the deck assuming you crafted the 6 total UR handtraps you will also need
I wouldn’t blame the dev. I would blame myself if I did NOT do my own due diligence on impulse buyout on all the normal packs lol. As for the bug where it did not put the UR in your deck, should’ve looked & verify for your own sake lol even though it’s a bug.
The recommended way to gem iMO is you don’t need to pull from the normal packs. Buy the bundle packs All 3 & whatever you pull there craft 1 SR to get your secret pack. To unlock your specific secret pack look for the UR you need and click on “how to obtain” & cross reference if the SR in the “related cards” is also in the same pack as your UR. If they’re in the same pack you then craft the SR you need in the related cards to unlock the secret pack. ONLY pull for the UR you need in that secret pack but you don’t need 3 copies yet even if your deck needs it. Move onto the next pack for your next UR & repeat. Once you get a deck going accumulate your “bonus pack” through playing the game and you can utilize that to unlock your secret pack as well if you don’t want to craft an SR that you don’t need & the bonus pack will be if you’re lucky on pull.
Yup you made a mistake and that’s unfortunate, I haven’t spent a single penny and I got a tier 1 tri-zoo deck with 3 maxx c and ash + 2 called by grave and 2 nib. This game is super F2P friendly. And I still have gems left :)
Facts
Same but the hero deck is really expensive...
Shut up
Apart from my 1st & 2nd account what I made misteaks on I've got every UR staple x3 100% f2p
Yeah, you already had an idea of wat you wanted to play, most of the people who usually came from DL don't know about it, hope he gets up from this.
The biggest mistake was spending 5k to begin with
If you're not completely commited to one deck, you can try making randomness work in your favor.
Do this by picking your secret pack around a core UR that you randomly obtained from the bundles or free packs.
I chose sky striker since my first UR ever from a pack was Kagari. This meant that i am likely to craft less URs from making the same deck (though i still had to craft zeke and engage after four 10x pulls).
On average, a 10x pull gives 2.2 (or close to that numer) URs. Maybe half of that is related to the archetype you actually pulled from. Take this into consideration before reserving the gems needed.
Here's my experience, if you f2p, you should save a gems a build a proper deck with it, but keep in mind, theres no gurantee you can play that deck forever. Konami always update their ban list card. Who know later on konami put eldlich in limited 1.
Eldlich to 1 is music to my ears.
Coz its really annoying, when you enter the platinum ranked, like 60% used eldlich. x_x
Skill drain is the issue not Eldich imo
Really good video, this are golden informations for new players!
For me the best way to have a good start on Master Duel, with no money involved, and climb the rank ladder was really simple, you have to KNOW AND BUILD just one really good deck…making the starting solo mode, open the secret packs of that deck you want to play, recycle all the SR and UR you don’t want, and finally craft the staples and some cards you re missing in that only deck you want! Now if you want multiples god-like decks , thats more complicated and eventually you going to spend some money on the game!
Whoever gave this man money on twitch:
This is what he does with it. Congratulations.
Lmaoo “ the mistake was wasting $5k “
2:10 dude honestly they really have to change this, its the worst, i dont think i crafted a card that i dont need yet, (to my knowledge at least) but i can definitely see how this is a massive issue
im more amaze people actually craft card they have ... not knowing they already have it ... like how ???
@@Elilymo im not sure what you mean, he explained the issue in the video, the game does not tell you if you already have a copy of a card when its of a different rarity, it will pretend like you have zero, so unless you mentally keep track of every single card you ever pulled, then you will have no idea if you already have some cards or not, unless you check every single card yourself before you craft one. i had that same issue myself before, luckily it was only a common, i pulled a revolt, i knew i did, but in the decklist that i copied it still didnt show up, i was so confused, usually as soon as you pick one of the cards up they instantly get put in the deck, but that didnt happen there, at first i thought it was a glitch or something, i eventually found out that my revolt had this golden glow, thats why it didnt show up in my deck, really stupid.
@@yuumijungle548 maybe im just plying how da game is wan us to ply then cuz i have nvr got dis issue xD
@@Elilymo this makes zero sense dude, if the game says i have zero stratos, then im expecting to own zero stratos, not one, that doesnt show up, i mean what do you want from me dude, dekayed agrees with me.
Thank you for keeping the game alive Dkayed!
You make these mistakes so we don't and we really appreciate that.
Not tryna bash Dkayed, but this was common sense, and obvious as fuck, he should've knew from the start
great advice. I caught on to that while building a hero deck. Got lucking pulling the staples from the hero packs.
Vid starts at 3:30, everything before is just talking in circles.
yeah well, another lesson: if you have multiple archetypes you really like, choose one, build a strong deck from that first, and only think about getting another one, once the first is strong enough to carry you through platinum
the game is very generous starting out. was able to make an eldrich control deck and climb to low gold in hours.. then had enough stuff to make a zoodiac deck. alt account are great herefor f2p because of the card acquisition. though i do feel having one account with most of your equity is best, its just not possible f2p.
thanks for your content and stories
Another huge mistake.
Don’t craft into a limit whether that’s a 3 of Limit or a ban list limit
The only exception I made was called by.
Allow your account to grow gracefully.
2 of anything that’s a staple is usually enough. You have to remember that every time you get more copies of something than you can use you’re effectively losing 20 ur crafting Points.
You’re eventually going to get all the cards you need in max copies by just randomly pulling them. Maybe there will be more bundles.
Be patient.
Believe it or not every top 10 staple in the game has a wal mart brand alternative to it that may not be as good but comparable. Some of SRs some are rares.
Use those as your 3rd copy of URs you don’t have yet.
Use flood gate srs
Use chalice fir Imp or droplets.
Use de crow for called by grave removal. Use skull Meister
Use Artifact for ghost URs.
Use that quick play spell that allows you to draw cards from cards added to your opponents hand. It’s like a maxxx c that can also check maxx c. So it’s maxx c and blossom hybrid.
Use more pots to replace a 3rd maxx c
The card youre talking about is shared ride for the quick play that lets you draw from when your opponent draws.
Zeke: Determined Jolteon yep! That’s the one. Good lookout.
Dyked honestly your mistakes were only made because your an awesome Yu-Gi-Oh! RUclipsr and we get it, as probably the biggest RUclipsr for yugioh, you have to put out lots of content fast! and someone as busy as yourself can’t be experimenting , or spending time seeing these mistakes being pointed out weeks ago from other RUclipsrs, and I’m sure you don’t have all the time in the world to collect gems from solo missions or making a new account. But I’m glad you are shedding the light on this topic and made these mistakes so the rest of us don’t, and I hope you make more content on how CRUCIAL it is to MAKE MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS and how it can save other people $1000’s because I’d be extremely pissed spending that much money.
biggest RUclipsr for yugioh - no he is not.
@@BelaaNo yeah, maybe for duel links? ... I remember Shady penguin popping off back in the day but no so much now.

@@nivernjohn7986 he is only big for duel links. the reason why he had a big following on twitch was because he had submarathon. else he is lingering lower but still insane.

@@BelaaNooh shit it’s the FACT CHECKER police. Let me rephrase that.. “ONE of the biggest youtuber”. …🤦🏻♂️.
@@BelaaNo Who is the biggest ? Honest question
ultimately none of this really matters if you are just making new accounts to make the most of early gem rewards.. i have 3 accounts where i have 2 decks each on them and spending all my UR/SR tokens early doesn't matter if you're only using that specific account to make a specific deck or two. this is only going to be more relevant as new packs are released as older decks may be less viable and the pool of staples increases which really hurts players that are putting a lot of money into the game so early on in its life cycle
are you playing on steam? i only need to make a second steam account right?
@@arthurskate7292 yeah on steam, you'll need to make a new steam account with a different email. sounds like a hassle but makes sense when you realise like 80% of the total gems are made available within the first few hours of play time.. gives you the resources to make one or two decks without having to buy gems on your main
"You should only be pulling from secret packs"
Me, whose been doing that since day 1: 😆
I made the mistake of impulsively dismantling cards I might need later. Crafting them again is the worst feeling lol
Thats why i dont dismantle any under 3 copies. So far i build myself 3 very good decks and the 4th is done as soon ss i get more sr and ur crystals welp
I just want to let you guys know that I got a Called by the Grave when I was pulling on Valiant Galdiator Beast secret pack.
But that happened long way after I craft 2 copies of Called by the Grave.
Sometimes blessing feels like a curse, you know.
i think you can justify 1 pull from stalwart force because it triggers a lot of secret packs.
And the cards you get there are mostly meta relevant right now or a generic staple like kristron needlefiber
If I remember correctly, Stalwart Force has the highest concentration of UR/SR. So if you like burning money just for crafting resources, that can be a tool.
I don't have 5000 dollars to make this mistake to begin
5000 dollars? you fool!!!
Other developers: You spend 60$ and you get access to the whole game
Konami: You spend 5000$ & you don't even get every card lmoa
I actually did craft secret pack stuff , but it was just to finish the initial Dragonmaid core. I pulled one copy of them first, since I thought you needed to own a card before crafting more , but it worked out. I believe I use practically all my gems before crafting, so it was kind of a "craft and have the core" or "don't craft and have to unlock the secret pack again later" situation.
7 days in and I have 5 fully optimized decks complete with staples without spending anything
I think the optimal strategy is: 1 play the game daily and do daily mission for pile up to 5 K gems > 2 craft 1 high-rarity card from the set u need > 3 unlock the "secret pack" > 4 spend gems until u have the cards from the set > 5 dismantle what u don't need > 6 (if u have more gems) repeat from step 2; (if u don't have more gems) repeat from step 1
Dude, how rich are you in real life that you can just blow $5K on a game? I'm not sure what to think anymore.
The main point of this discussion is simple.
Don't get too addicted to gatcha
The main mistake that I did is crafting staple from duel links.
Good I have never used a single doller in this game.
Over $5000?! Why Dkayed?!
Dkayed: "For HIM ...The Pharoah."
I mean... You spent over 5k on this game, but to be fair, this is literally your job. It's not like you're actually whailing here.
You're one of the few exceptions that actually HAS a valid reason to spend for this game, so never feel ashamed of it. You're doing it for all of us! :)
The fact you enjoy it (maybe,I don't know. I don't like to assume things) is just a perk.
Also, it hurts to hear you only learned to go for secret packs recently. I mourn for your wallet. D:
Kindof wish I shared it with you on day one. Was under the impression the ig names would figure this out early on too.
Went in fully expecting this game to be super generous on gems early on only to dry up to a trickle sooner or later, like they did with Duel Links. So I was careful about everything I used gems for early on. This foresight payed off big time. Realized what you mentioned instantly when I saw the loot table of the reg. packs. The two named packs are all over the place and the Master pack's loot table is WAY too diluted. Bought the three bundles and never touched those packs again, because I learned through those packs about the "secret pack" system. Abused the crafting system to get needed cards/unlock secret packs I needed and ended up with 2 complete decks without paying a dime.
Anyway. Again, it sucks you went through this. Glad you're putting up a video about it to raise other player's awareness. Keep up the awesome work! :)
I think he approached it wrong. If he was willing to spend the 5k he was going to do it regardless. What I think he could have said, is how efficient he could have spent the 5k, instead of the saving money approach. If he was efficient, he could have had way more completed decks for us to watch him play around with. More decks, more content for us to enjoy.
@@jenniferhamels1176 I agree 100%. Just a shame he didn't.
Whaaat! How did he spend 5K!? Secret pack is great tip though ty for that. Personally I do not run call of the grave myself I did not see the benifit vs having the main cards myself. You can’t use it on your opponent first turn anyways. Question I have is how do we know when newest pack /cards will arrive?
Well I knew to focus on secret packs, but I didn't consider to hold off on the crafting. SMH. Glad I found this before I continued that mistake.
"how you can avoid making this same mistake"...... I don't think I'm gonna have that problem
Love you for doing this video, extremely helpful for everyone. BUT I do not advice to craft Secret Packs in order to get for just 1 UR and 0 SR, remember your chances of pulling that one UR are VERY LOW. Going for secret packs that include multiple SR and a few UR will increase your chances of getting more value for your gems (yes SR can be important too). Remember every 10 boosters you will get 0-3 UR (0 and 3 being quite rare but you could get 4+ in theory) and there is no guarantee those UR will be from the secret pack special collection, and even IF you get an UR from the secret pack collection secret packs can have at least 4 UR.
What’s my odds of getting 6 ultras… Cus I just did lol
I love your videos brother great channel. I just need some advice I have about 15k gems 💎 I play f2p DM deck haven't played in 20 years trying to learn the system I got the hang of it tho. What would you recommend to build on this 15k gems 💎 top tier deck
Konami: Thank you for playing Master Duel
"konami trained me that way"
Papa Konami "there goes my brave little soldier" 😅
Heres a tip dont spend 5k on a gacha game
Don't spend money, other than purchasing price, on a video game!!!!
I don't see the point of spending money in Master Duel. You can build your first deck excessively easily and if you're bored and want to play something else, just create another account and craft every card very easily
People that spend money on this game probably don‘t have the time to have 9-13 master duel accounts
@@asdsdsd1092 Even then, if you don't have time would you really spend money knowing there's a way to get all you want for free...
I only have one account but I'm not willing to spend money because it's so repulsive to know that you gain nothing doing so
@@asdsdsd1092 And they're not bored and wanting to play another deck if they're only playing casually. So that's irrelevant to the OP.
As a free to play player I figured this out in the first 2 minutes of playing. I will say if I don't play religiously it can take a while to build multiple decks like this. But it's definitely doable.
My thing is I’m still getting into yugioh and I’ve made some what finished 4 decks but since I’m newish there’s a lot of archetypes I don’t know about so how do I learn about new ones with out those three card packs ? I’ve made Dinomist, ba, magical musketeers, and ancient warriors for the most part
Don't even need to watch the video to know, the biggest mistake is the $5000.
Isn't stalwalt force worth it if you wanna play tribrigade ?
Crafting cards like dropplet or nibiru is fine cause the selection box only contain bad archetypes or cards you don't need/want.
Imperm and veiler are nice and aren't in a pack but I find that dropplet is just better than those and more splash-able so instead of wasting gems in a pack full of cards I'm not going to use, it's better to craft.
I guess an exception to the rule are whales as they have far more gems than F2P so pulling from a secret pack even if it's a bad one is way better than trying to get it from a master pack
Except if you run too low on Srs you would need to open packs to get the Srs to craft into a secret pack, and at that point that basically opening 2 plus packs.
I personally got dark ruler no more from the herald pack even though it's written that it's only in the master pack. You really cannot trust the accuracy. Ash, Maxx C, etc. might actually also be in other packs where the chance of pulling them is pretty high...
Sometimes you need to craft cards to unlock the secret packs.
"They trained me in duel link to get scammed" lolol
I haven't spend any money on this game yet there are things I would have liked to have done differently. Craft any Master Packs, not use gems up on those packs. And go directly for the cards I need which I ended up doing. Ended up with 50 UR that are not from starter decks. It's really hard to get more UR points. Basically have to pull everything at this point.
Jokes on you Dkayed, I pulled TWO Ash Blossoms from Master Packs.
But thank you, this guide was very informative.
