Ranked Duels Loaner Decks

Decisive Strike Cyber Dragon

This toned down version of a Cyber Dragon Deck focuses on the core strategy of the archetype to Fusion Summon boss monsters, usually with Power Bond to double their attack and go for game-ending Direct Attacks.

It also has options for control as well, with negates from Therion "King" Regulus and Cyber Dragon Infinity.

Deck Description

Evil★Twin the Kaito Pair

This Deck makes use of the Spright Deck Engine to supplement the playstyle of the Live☆Twin archetype. Special Summons are aftoot in order to make a near-unbreakable board with negates from cards like Spright Carrot and Spright Red, alongside its own archetype with Evil★Twin Ki-sikil and Evil★Twin Lil-la.

Evil★Twin can be quite a complicated Deck to learn, but learning how the cards intereact with one another unlocks its true potential to completely mess with the opponent's game plans.

Note: Even though Pot of Extravagance is currently Limited to 1, using this specific Loaner Deck will apparently bypass the banlist and allow the usage of the Limited Spell Card at 2 copies.

Deck Description

Eldlich the Conqueror

When Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel first launched, Eldlich Decks were one of the best Control Decks available in the game. Its usage of so many floodgates and interruptions made it an infuriating Deck to go up against,. Though in the current meta there are far more powerful Control Decks to run, Eldlich the Golden Lord is no less of a slouch many seasons later.

It makes used of a wide variety of Trap Cards, and a number of them are extremely powerful floodgates. It also happens to have ways to Special Summon the titular monster, sometimes with a significant stat boost.

Best Ranked Duel Loaner Deck To Use

Evil★Twin for Aggro and Combo

The proper Deck Recipe for Evil★Twin Spright might no longer be at God tier, but this Loaner Deck is a great way to learn how the strategy and the Spright Deck Engine works, letting you get a feel on how powerful Level 2 and Rank 2 monsters have become since their introduction to Master Duel.

Eldlich the Conqueror for Control

It has been a very long time since Eldlich sat at the throne as the best Control Deck in the entire game, as powercreep from eventual additions ot the game usurped it. Still, it is no slouch even up to this day, and it can catch modern Deck users off guard if they cannot deal with the various interruptions, control cards and floodgates the Loaner Deck has up its sleeve.

Also, take advantage of the fact that it is using 2 Pot of Extravagance, even though the current Forbidden & Limited Banlist has marked it as Limited.

Why Use Loaner Decks?

Chance to Try Different Strategies

Being able to pilot Decks completely for free without having to craft cards is always a plus. This gives players an opportunity to try out strategies and Deck Recipes they most likely do not have, and gives them an idea on how to run their own take of the Deck should they choose to do so with resources.

Familiarize with Archetype's Mechanics

Knowledge is crucial in a game like Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel. The Loaner Decks allow players to gain insight in how the Deck works by using it themselves in official Ranked Duels. Better knowledge can possibly lead to better ability to counter it once players encounter a more built Deck.

Limited-Time Availability

As of writing, the three Loaner Decks shown above are currently available until the end of Season 30: July 1st, 2024 (8:00 AM JST).

It is currently unknown if these Loaner Decks will continue to be available afterwards, or a new set of Loaner Decks become available for use at the start of the next season, Season 31.
