List of Contents

Fiendsmith Snake-Eyes Azamina

Master Duel - Fiendsmith Snake-Eyes Azamina

Not even the TCG and OCG formats have had Fiendsmith, Snake-Eyes and Azamina all together in one format at full power.

Currently, this Deck is easily considered the absolute best Deck to run as of writing, almost to the point of being considered a Tier 0 Deck. Even a single proper card can kickstart any of three archetypes' strategies, which can synergize with one another, and end with multiple negates and interruptions set up by the end of the turn.

Sample Deck Recipe

Main Deck: 42 cards
Effect Veiler x3 Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring x3 Diabellstar the Black Witch x3 Snake-Eye Oak x2 Maxx "C" x2
Mulcharmy Fuwalos x2 Fiendsmith Engraver x2 Fabled Lurrie x1 Snake-Eyes Poplar x1 Bystial Druiswurm x1
Bystial Magnamhut x1 Snake-Eyes Diabellstar x1 Snake-Eyes Flamberge Dragon x1 Deception of the Sinful Spoils x3 Bonfire x2
Called by the Grave x2 Fiendsmith x2 Crossout Designator x1 Divine Temple of the Snake-Eye x1 The Hallowed Azamina x1
Original Sinful Spoils - Snake-Eye x1 WANTED: Seeker of Sinful Spoils x1 Infinite Impermanence x3 Fiendsmith in Paradise x1 -
Extra Deck: 15 cards
Azamina Ilia Silvia x1 Azamina Mu Rcielago x1 Fiendsmith x1 Fiendsmith x1 Beatrice, Lady of the Eternal x1
Fiendsmith x1 Fiendsmith x1 I:P Masquerena x1 Moon of the Closed Heaven x1 S:P Little Knight x1
Promethean Princess, Bestower of Flames x1 Selene, Queen of the Master Magicians x1 Accesscode Talker x1 Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess x1 Salamangreat Raging Phoenix x1

Fiendsmith Yubel

Fiendsmith Yubel

Though Nightmare Throne has been hit to Semi-Limited status, it still does not hinder Yubel's strategy at all. In fact, now that the Fiendsmith cards are available in Master Duel, they can also make use of their cards to further support the Deck.

A Fiendsmith combo does not even make use of a Normal Summon, which the Yubel cards do with Samsara D Lotus and Dark Beckoning Beast being crucial summons for their effects.

Sample Deck Recipe

Main Deck: 42 cards
Samsara D Lotus x3 Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring x3 Spirit of Yubel x3 Gruesome Grave Squirmer x2 Dark Beckoning Beast x2
Maxx "C" x2 Fiendsmith Engraver x2 Fabled Lurrie x1 Mulcharmy Fuwalos x1 Unchained Soul of Sharvara x1
Yubel x1 Yubel - Terror Incarnate x1 Yubel - The Ultimate Nightmare x1 Nightmare Pain x3 Called by the Grave x2
Fiendsmith x2 Nightmare Throne x2 Opening of the Spirit Gates x2 Super Polymerization x2 Crossout Designator x1
Infinite Impermanence x3 Escape of the Unchained x1 Eternal Favorite x1 - -
Extra Deck: 15 cards
Phantom of Yubel x2 Fiendsmith x1 Fiendsmith x1 Yubel - The Loving Defender Forever x1 Beatrice, Lady of the Eternal x1
D/D/D Wave High King Caesar x1 Varudras, the Final Bringer of the End Times x1 Fiendsmith x1 Fiendsmith x1 Moon of the Closed Heaven x1
Muckraker From The Underworld x1 S:P Little Knight x1 Unchained Soul Lord of Yama x1 Unchained Soul of Rage x1 Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess x1

Blue-Eyes White Dragon

Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon

The more recent Blue-Eyes support were an early addition to Master Duel a month after the 3rd Anniversary celebrations, providing a boost in power for the archetype in both power and in strategy.

It can still do Fusion Summons, but now the power focuses on Synchro Monsters, with Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon easily summoning Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon, among other boss monsters like Stardust Sifr Divine Dragon.

Sample Deck Recipe

Main Deck: 42 cards
Effect Veiler x3 Maiden of White x3 Sage with Eyes of Blue x3 Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring x3 Maxx "C" x2
Neo Kaiser Sea Horse x2 Magicians x1 Master with Eyes of Blue x1 Mulcharmy Fuwalos x1 Bystial Druiswurm x1
Bystial Magnamhut x1 Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon x1 The Bystial Lubellion x1 Blue-Eyes White Dragon x3 Illusion of Chaos x1
Wishes for Eyes of Blue x3 Called by the Grave x2 Branded Regained x1 Roar of the Blue-Eyed Dragons x1 Synchro Rumble x1
Ultimate Fusion x1 Infinite Impermanence x3 Majesty of the White Dragons x1 True Light x1 -
Extra Deck: 15 cards
Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon x1 Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon x1 Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon x1 Dragon Master Magia x1 Black Rose Dragon x1
Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon x1 Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon x1 Crimson Dragon x1 Stardust Sifr Divine Dragon x1 Number 38: Hope Harbinger Dragon Titanic Galaxy x1
Super Starslayer TY-PHON - Sky Crisis x1 Spirit with Eyes of Blue x2 Hieratic Seal of the Heavenly Spheres x1 S:P Little Knight x1 -

Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon

Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon

The Photon sub-archetype of Galaxy-Eyes always seem to get the more power when it comes to the meta. With the recent Selection Pack release, the Tachyon cards have given new breath to the archetype, especially in the monsters available.

The most crucial addition is Seventh Tachyon, which is almost its own version of a one-card combo starter for the Tachyon cards. It plays slower than most Decks, but watch out for Tachyon Transmigration, which is easily one of the strongest Counter Trap Cards in the game.

Sample Deck Recipe

Main Deck: 40 cards
Effect Veiler x3 Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring x3 Starliege Seyfert x3 Schwarzschild Infinity Dragon x3 Maxx "C" x2
Mulcharmy Fuwalos x2 Tachyon Cloudragon x2 Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Primal x2 Bystial Baldrake x1 Bystial Druiswurm x1
Bystial Magnamhut x1 The Bystial Lubellion x1 Galactic Spiral Dragon x1 Galaxy-Eyes Afterglow Dragon x1 Seventh Ascension x3
Seventh Tachyon x3 Called by the Grave x2 Branded Regained x1 Infinite Impermanence x3 Tachyon Transmigration x2
Extra Deck: 15 cards
Bystial Dis Pater x1 Chaos Angel x1 Number 100: Numeron Dragon x1 Divine Golden Shadow Dragon Dragluxion x1 Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon x1
Galaxy-Eyes Full Armor Photon Dragon x1 Number 38: Hope Harbinger Dragon Titanic Galaxy x1 Number 62: Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon Dragon x1 Number C62: Neo Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon Dragon x1 Number 90: Galaxy-Eyes Photon Lord x1
Number 97: Draglubion x1 Number 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon x1 Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Blade Dragon x1 Galaxy-Eyes Cipher X Dragon x1 Galaxy Satellite Dragon x1

True Draco

True Draco

True Draco true to its anti-meta nature, never really went out of style. It just needed its signature boss monster, Master Peace, the True Dracoslaying King, to be available again, and it finally gets its wish in Master Duel in 2025.

The Deck is strong as it is, it does not even need the Extra Deck for any reason. Tribute Summoning is enough, and with Master Peace, it becomes immune to the card type that was used as tribute fodder.

True Draco Deck List and Card Guide

Sample Deck Recipe

Main Deck: 40 cards
Ignis Heat, the True Dracowarrior x3 Majesty Maiden, the True Dracocaster x3 Dinomight Knight, the True Dracofighter x3 Master Peace, the True Dracoslaying King x2 Maxx "C" x2
Dragonic Diagram x3 True Draco Heritage x3 Time-Tearing Morganite x3 Disciples of the True Dracophoenix x2 Pot of Duality x1
True Draco Apocalypse x3 The Monarchs Erupt x3 Apophis the Swamp Deity x2 Lose 1 Turn x2 True King x2
Anti-Spell Fragrance x1 Powersink Stone x1 Rivalry of Warlords x1 Skill Drain x1 There Can Be Only One x1
Extra Deck: 0 cards
