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 Recipe

Main Deck: 40 cards
x3	x3	x2	x2	x2
x2	x1	x1	x1	x1
x3	x2	x2	x2	x2
x1	x1	x1	x1	x1
Extra Deck: 15 cards
x1	x1	x1	x1	x1
x1	x1	x1	x1	x1

Deck Description

A "Cyber Dragon" Deck focused on offense. First, get ready to Fusion Summon with effects such as those of "Cyber Dragon Core" or "Cyberdark Chimera". It can be surprisingly easy to gather the required materials because most "Cyber Dragon" monsters are treated as "Cyber Dragon" while on the field or in the Graveyard, for instance "Cyber Dragon Core". What's more, monsters Fusion Summoned with "Power Bond" have higher ATK. Surge to victory in a single turn with overwhelming offensive force.

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.

Main Deck: 40 cards

Extra Deck: 15 cards

x2	x2	x1	-	-

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

A devious "Evil★Twin" Deck revolving around link-ups between "Ki-sikil" and "Lil-la". "Ki-sikil" and "Lil-la" monsters are the crux of this Deck, and they can Summon each other with their effects. Note that the Link Monsters "Evil★Twin Ki-sikil" and "Evil★Twin Lil-la" can each activate an additional effect if Special Summoned while you control their partner. "Evil★Twin's Trouble Sunny" is a powerful trump card that can Special Summon both at the same time, so make it your objective to Summon it. Flummox the opponent with your dazling monsters and snatch away victory in style!

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.

Extra Deck: 15 cards

x1	x1	x1	x1	x1

Deck Description

An "Eldlich" Deck that fights tenaciously with Trap Cards. Based around "Eldlich the golden Lord", "Eldlixir" cardsa can Summon monsters, and "Golden Land" cards can act as interference. Get a good grasp of these effects to ensure you combine them effectively! Be careful not to Set or activate cards recklessly. You'll have to send a Trap or Spell Card to the Graveyard to activate the effects of "Eldlich the Golden Lord", so it's essential to hold back on occasion. Control the flow of battle to dominate the field and take victory! This Loaner Deck includes two copies of the Limited card "Pot of Extravagance" as per the current Forbidden/Limited List.

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.
