Eldlich is a very popular trap deck in the current meta in Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel. There are a few different variants of it, but all of them follow the same strategy, which is to pretty much not let your opponent play the game the way they want.

Its very aggressive playstyle revolves around Eldlich, a level 10 Zombie that just keeps coming back and the use of oppressive traps such as Skill Drain, Solemn Judgement, Solemn Strike, and even Rivalry of Warlords depending on which variant of the deck you are playing.

Everything in this deck is about Eldlich. You can send it along with one spell or trap from your hand to the graveyard to target one card on the field and send it to the graveyard. If Eldlich is in your graveyard, you can send one spell or trap your control to the graveyard and add this card to your hand. Then you can special summon one Zombie monster from your hand, and if you do, until the end of the turn, it gains 1000 ATK and DEF plus it cannot be destroyed by card effects.

MAIN DECK 3x Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring 1x B-Buster Drake 2x Call by the Grave 3x Cyber Angel Benten 1x Cyber Angel Natasha 3x Cyber Emergency 3x Diviner of the Heralds 3x Drytron Alpha Thuban 1x Drytron Delta Altais 1x Drytron Gamma Eltanin 1x Drytron Meteonis Draconids 3x Drytron Nova 3x Drytron Zeta Aldhibah 2x Eva 3x Herald of Orange Light 1x Herald of Purple Light 1x Herald of Ultimateness 3x Maxx “C” 1x Meteonis Drytron 1x Vanity’s Ruler		EXTRA DECK Beatrice, Lady of the Eternal Borrelsword Dragon Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS – Sky Thunder Downerd Magician Drytron Mu Beta Fafnir Elder Entity N’tss Herald of the Arc Light I:P Masquerena Knightmare Phoenix Knightmare Unicorn Linkuriboh Lyrilusc – Assembled Nightingale Michael, the Arch-Lightsworn Union Carrier

Drytron is another meta deck that’s very strong currently due to Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel ban list. If you follow the TCG then you should know that Cyber Angel Benten is a Limited card. But not in this version of the game. Here, you can run 3 copies of it in your deck. This is a very consistent deck that offers a lot of options, and it also has the potential to OTK. The ability to recycle Benten while you’re adding fairies from your deck that can be used as fodder for your Herald of Protection makes this super safe. Of course, there are different variants of this meta deck, but this is what you will run most of the time.

MAIN DECK 1x Dragon Buster Destruction Sword 3x Maxx “C” 1x Mecha Phantom Beast O-Lion 2x Doki Doki 1x Prank-Kids Dropsies 3x Adamancipator Seeker 3x Adamancipator Researcher 3x Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring 2x Gigantes 3x Koa’ki Meiru Guardian 3x Prank-Kids Rocksies 3x Adamancipator Analyzer 2x Koa’ki Meiru Supplier 3x Tenyi Spirit – Vishuda 3x Block Dragon 1x Nibiru, the Primal Being 3x Sekka’s Light		EXTRA DECK 1x I:P Masquerena 1x Union Carrier 1x Knightmare Unicorn 1x ApolloUSA, Bow of the God 1x Accesscode Talker 1x Prank-Kids Meow-Meow-Mu 1x Monk of the Tenyi 1x Link Spider 1x Gallant Granite 1x Crystron Halqifibrax 1x Knightmare Phoenix 1x Adamancipator Risen – Dragite 1x Adamancipator Risen – Raptite 1x Prank-Kids Dodo-Doodle-Doo 1x Borrelload Savage Dragon

This deck somehow made it through the current ban list, and it’s more than viable. Some would argue that this is a tier 0 deck, and honestly, I can see why. If you are going first with the Adamancipator meta deck, your chances of winning the duel are very, very high. Of course, that doesn’t mean that this deck can’t go up against pretty much anything in the current meta. It focuses on Adamancipator tuners and their ability to run through a deck by sending the top 5 cards to the graveyard and special summon any level 4 or lower rock monsters they excavate. Combine that with the Prank-Kids engine and cards like Gigantes, Ash Blossom, Maxx ‘C’, and you have a recipe for a super-strong deck.

MAIN DECK 1x Nibiru 3x Ash Bloosom 2x Emergency Teleport 1x Psy-Frame Driver 2x Nyannyan 3x Maxx “C” 2x Called by the Grave 1x Virtual World Gate – Xaunwu 3x Pot of Desires 2x Psy-Frame Gamma 2x Virtual World Gate – Chuche 3x Vitrual World Mai-Hime – Lulu 3x Virtual World Xiezhi – Jiji 3x Virtual World City – Kauwloon 3x Virtual World Kirin – Lili 3x Virtual World Gate – Qinglong 3x Virtual World Roshi – Laolao		EXTRA DECK 1x Chaofeng, Phantom of the Yang Zing 1x Cloudcastle 1x Constellar Ptolemy M7 1x Coral Dragon 1x Divine Arsenal AA-Zeus – Sky Thunder 1x Number 39: Utopia Beyond 1x Number 75: Bamboozling Gossip Shadow 1x Ravenous Croscodragon Archethys 1x Stardust Charge Warrior 1x The Phantom Knights of Break Sword 1x True King of All Calamities 1x Vermillion Dragon Mech 1x Virtual World Beast – Jiujiu 1x Virtual World Kyubi – Shenshen 1x Virtual World Phenix – Fanfan

Virtual World isn’t exactly the type of deck that you would describe as beginner-friendly. It can be very strong but, at the same time, very confusing even for veteran duelists.

So first thing’s first, almost every card of this archetype does the same thing. What’s that? Virtual World monsters can be special summoned from the hand and mill your deck. How do they do that? By sending another Virtual World card you control to the graveyard first, and then sending another Virtual World card of a different type, from your deck to the graveyard.

Because Virtual Worlds can easily make level 9 Synchros such as the powerful Virtual World Kyubi – Shenshen, that gives this deck easy access to a very, very strong card. True King of All Calamities, which requires 2x level 9 monsters. This card doesn’t let your opponent play the game, pretty much. How’s that for a strategy?

Of course, there are various combos and different strategies that you can add up to this, and there are many variants of Virtual World meta deck going around.

MAIN DECK 3x Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring 2x Called by the Grave 3x Fire Formation – Tenki 2x Forbidden Droplet 1x Harpie’s Feather Duster 3x Infinite Impermanence 1x Lightning Storm 3x Maxx “C” 2x Nibiru, the Primal Being 3x Pot of Desires 3x Tri-Brigade Fraktall 3x Tri-Brigade Nervall 2x Tri-Brigade Kerass 3x Tri-Brigade Kitt 1x Zoodiac Whiptail 1x Zoodiac Thoroughblade 1x Zoodiac Ramram		EXTRA DECK 1x Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess 1x Ancient Warrior’s Oath – Double Dragon 1x Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS – Sky Thunder 1x Hraesvelgr, the Desperate Doom Eagle 1x Salamangreat Almiraj 1x Tri-Brigade Ferrijit the Barren Blossom 1x Tri-Brigade Rugal the Silver Sheller 1x Tri-Brigade Bearbrumm the Rampant Rampager 1x Zoodiac Tigermoartar 1x Zoodiac Drident 1x Zoodiac Boarbow 1x Zoodiac Chakanine

All of these Master Duel meta decks in the list, are obviously very popular among players in the higher rankings. With that being said, this one might currently be the most popular in the game. It’s not only super consistent, but also fairly easy to play. All you need to start your combos is really Fraktal or Tenki. Once you have Fraktall, you send Kitt to the graveyard, you activate its effect to then send Nerval to the graveyard. Then you get Fraktall back, you normal summon, activate its effect, ban Kitt and Nerval for a link summon. If you have a Zoodiac in your hand, you can get into your XYZ monsters from there. A lot of potential and a fun deck to play.
