Is the Duel Pass Worth it?

The Duel Pass provides additional rewards upon leveling your duelist grade on Event and Ranked duels in Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel. Read on to learn about the Duel Pass including its mechanic, all Duel Pass Rewards, how to buy it, how to level it up, and whether its worth buying the Duel Pass!

Should You Buy the Duel Pass?

Buy It if You Plan to Learn the Master Duel Meta

For long-time players of Yu-Gi-Oh! or TCG veterans looking to grind out the new meta introduced by Master Duel, the Duel Pass is a must-buy!

Given how generous the game is when rewarding Gems, returning players can take advantage of the Duel Pass to get more craft points and build their dream deck.

Casual Players can Hold Off on Buying

For casual players, you can hold-off on purchasing until you've learned how to build and optimize a deck, and gotten through all the tutorial content for new players.

You can still earn Duel Pass Points even without the Duel Pass. So keep playing and decide later on whether the rewards are worth it for your skill level!

What is the Duel Pass?

Yu Gi Oh! Battle Pass

If you're familiar with recent live service games, then the Duel Pass can be compared to a Battle Pass, rewarding players for simply playing Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel.

The Normal Duel Pass is automatically given to players, while the Gold Duel Pass can be bought at the Store for 800 Gems - Master Duel's form of in-game currency.

Free-to-Play Friendly

While priced using in-game currency, the Duel Pass is very friendly to Free-to-Play players. Gems are easily earned by playing, and the rewards of the Normal Duel Pass are nothing to scoff at.

At Level 50, players will get 300 Gems and enough Craft Points to generate at least 1 Ultra Rare Card, 1 Super Rare Card, and 1 Rare Card, plus a Warrior Dai Grepher Icon.

Can be Re-Bought Using Earned Gems

For players looking to get into a serious Master Duel grind, purchasing the Gold Duel Pass is well worth it as they will earn back the 800 Gems they spent by Level 100.

If you're in it for the long haul and looking to test your mettle in Ranked or Event Duels, then the Gold Duel Pass will be a very good investment.
