Want to stay ahead of the competition during the Duelist Cup? Want to qualify for the 2025World Championship this early? Check out our more condensed tier list of Decks that can let players climb the ladder to Round 2 of the March 2025 Duelist Cup!

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.

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.

Blue-Eyes White 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.

Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon

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
x3	x3	x3	x3	x2
x2	x2	x2	x1	x1
x1	x1	x1	x1	x3

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.
