Any time I play an online competitive strategy game like this one, I get an overwhelming urge to go against whatever "meta" that's currently going on. I was the same way with the Pokemon VGC a long time ago, and now the same joys of running off-meta strategies have rekindled this long lost passion of mine. Of course this is partially because I've been playing with friends and using dumb strategies that have no right to work against each other, or even against people in ranked. Master Duel has allowed me and some of my friends to get back into the game from the sheer ease of access of everything for new players. A big turn off from the other online simulators was simply all of the overwhelming options for what you could put into a deck and not knowing what exactly goes well with each other. Simply having a means for new players to see some decks other users have made is a feature I can't live without anymore! It's allowed me to see and try out these other decks. Of course the caveat of this is that craft/obtaining some cards are quite pricey and getting material for free isn't easy either nor do you get a lot of them either. The only way you can get crafting material right now is from playing the game for the first time through unlocks and the battlepass. The battlepass isn't easy to level up, especially if you're a newer player. You can only level it up from playing online, and even then the only means of a noticeable level up is winning duels. If you're someone who doesn't like using the "freemium" currency, then you won't like knowing that you'll have to use it in order to mainly get more cards. At least the decks I've made have a bit of success online. Some of these decks that I've used are Windwitches, Jackpot 7, Cyberdark Dragons (with a focus on summoning Chimeratech Overdragon), Vampires, Hungry Burger, a draw until you get Exodia deck, and finally a 100% RNG oriented deck :]

There's plenty of things wrong with the current meta of Master Duel that Komoney is forming for the game (such as at least making Maxx "C" a limited use card for decks), but as long as I get to make meta using garbage people ragequit, I'm happy.

(Also if you want a good time, try using some older "legacy" cards in your deck and simply watch how many people instant forfeit . It's honestly a pure joy of mine).
