Xyz is a type of monster card in Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel. Use these staples to see what makes them the best cards in the game!

Best Xyz Cards

Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS - Sky Thunder

Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS - Sky Thunder is one of the best cards in the game as it provides tons of value and versatility. As a removal, ZEUS is top-notch as it can wipe out an entire board.

Number 38: Hope Harbinger Dragon Titanic Galaxy

Number 38: Hope Harbinger Dragon Titanic Galaxy is a staple for decks that run Level 8 monsters. Hope Harbinger lets you negate and attach Spell cards your opponent controls. It also has a Taunt ability to protect your other monsters in battle.

Traptrix Rafflesia

Any Rank-4-focused Deck can use Traptrix Rafflesia as well as specific Trap Hole cards in the main deck like Gravedigger's Trap Hole or Treacherous Trap Hole to provide another disruption to the opponent or simply, protection from hand traps.

Number 41: Bagooska the Terribly Tired Tapir

Any decks that run multiple level 4s can easily access Bagooska. Bagooska can slow down the tempo of any decks that do not rely on links as it changes all monsters on the field to defense position.

Beatrice, Lady of the Eternal

Beatrice, Lady of the Eternal's role is similar to Lavalval Chain's role back in the day. Beatrice is splashable to any graveyard reliant decks especially if the deck uses Destiny Hero Malicious as it can easily access Rank 6 plays.

Beatrice is like a Foolish Burial with legs and on steroids. It can extend your graveyard plays with its strong effect.

Abyss Dweller

Abyss Dweller can give you an instant win against a deck that relies on Graveyard effects as it shuts down any Graveyard effects for a whole turn.
Decks that can access Rank 4 easily can use this card if the meta is solely focusing on the Graveyard.

Toadally Awesome

Toadally Awesome gives you card tempo, negation, and destruction in one package. This card can special summon one Frog monster from your deck in addition to negating and destroying a Spell, Trap, or a Monster effect on the field.

This card was so powerful, that it ended up becoming Forbidden just before the release of the Spright monsters.

Evilswarm Exciton Knight

Evilswarm Exciton Knight works similarly to Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS - Sky Thunder. Exciton Knight is much easier to summon in decks that revolve around Level 4s.
One thing that differentiates Exciton Knight from Zeus is that you can access Exciton Knight early, compared to Zeus in which you must enter Battle before summoning it.

Number 60: Dugares the Timeless

Dugares is a staple for any combo decks. It can work as an extender in 3 different ways:
1st: Drawing 2 cards then discarding 1,
2nd: Special Summoning 1 monster from the Graveyard.
3rd: Doubling the attack of 1 monster on your field.
Dugares's flexibility offers so much for combo decks as it can adjust well depending on the current gamestate.
