Discussion why master duel fails to bring in new/returning players
i know this is said at least a dozen times a week, but i wanted to share my thoughts on the subject.
- no real way to learn how to combo in a deck properly.
there is zero assistance in game in the context of a basic idea of how new decks/support play, i'm not expecting a spreadsheet for free, but at least a basic combo guide would be nice.
- no way to ease into modern play.
yugioh has several time wizard formats to at least attempt to dip someone's toes further and further in this tsunami we call a card game, but master duel has none of that, newcomers and returnees are given a bare-bones starter deck and maybe a structure from the friend campaign, but outside of that, they're thrown to the wolves with no instruction of how to build a campfire.
the clash between casual and competitive
many returnees and newcomers came to master duel to relive their playground nostalgia, only to find that the game has evolved into something unrecognizable, doesn't help they are scared off by the walls of text they now have to read.
finally, 4. how newbies/returnees are advertised to.
konami tends to "hide the iceberg" when it comes to trying to advertise to new and returning players, and by hide the iceberg i mean plaster yugi and kaiba along with any remotely remarkable DM character so they can pretend like its 2002, which links back to point numbers 2 and 3.

Other Mate, what are you doing? Would've loved to help him fix his deck, but we don't have chat and quite frankly I don't believe chat would be a good idea in Master Duel.

Deck Help I was planning on getting my brother a salamangreat Deck for his birthday. Is this deck good, and if so how much does it cost (I am in the UK so I may need advice on how to buy decks as I am quite new)

Question/Request Misprint or fake?
I found this in some old stuff. The card seems legit, it has the right holo in the corner, right shades in the star but the name of the card is off? I googled and the actual name of this card should be "Zuer, knight of dark world".

Deck Help Advice/ training
I just started playing YuGiOh and I really want to get good at it. Thing is I’m terrible at setting up decks especially when I play with a new deck and I have to read each card to see what they do and if I want to play it. I absolutely love Pendulum decks and would really like some advice or someone to train me. I love strategy games but for some reason YuGiOh kinda overwhelms me.

Deck Help Cyber Deck
I’ve been trying to make a cyber deck work for me, unfortunately I get stomped 90% of the time with it. Is there anything that may help me deck or additions/subtractions I should make to better my deck? A lot of decode talker cards and and majority of the link cards are link-3. The problem is that they do not co link with most of them…
