When you download the game, it starts with some tutorials. If you're already experienced in dueling, you can skip them, as they cover the basics. Don't worry; even if you skip them, you'll still receive 1000 gems and a free deck reward.

After that, you'll be presented with a choice of three decks as a reward: Power of the Dragon, Syncro of Unity, and Link Generation. Your decision here doesn't significantly impact your gameplay since you won't be using these decks extensively. However, if you'd like advice, choose one that matches your experience level. If you're an old-school player, go for Blue-Eyes; if you're more into modern strategies, pick the Link deck.

The main menu offers four core options: Duel, Deck, Solo, and Shop. Here are the key sub-options:

• Notifications: Keep an eye on updates and events from Konami.
• Missions: Track your tasks to earn extra gems and in-game cosmetics.
• Gift Box: Konami occasionally gives out freebies here.
• Friends: Easily add and manage your friends.
• Submenu: Customize settings, check the ban list, and manage your profile.
• Solo Mode: Your Journey Begins

Solo mode is where you can experience various archetypal decks, explore their storylines, and earn rewards. To start, complete the Dual Strategy Solo missions to receive powerful meta cards, cosmetics, gems, and crafting materials. Completing these missions also unlocks additional gem and material rewards. You can also explore various story missions, which may align with your chosen archetype for your first deck.

In Master Duel, you'll deal with two types of currency: gems and crafting points. Gems are earned by playing the game and are essential for purchasing packs and items from the store. Don't waste them; I'll explain how to use them wisely. Crafting points, on the other hand, are crucial for making specific cards.

Crafting points come in normal, rare, super rare, and ultra rare varieties, and you earn them by dismantling cards you don't need. Dismantled cards are worth 10 crafting points for their rarity. You'll need 30 crafting points to create a card, with the rarity depending on the type of crafting points used. Higher rarity cards yield more crafting points when dismantled.

Building the first deck:

• Delete the default decks to keep things organized.
• Choose your deck archetype carefully; it's a critical decision.
• You can go for a top-tier meta deck or a favorite archetype.
• Look for inspiration on websites like yukioprodex.com or masterdualmeta.com.
• Use the in-game deck finder or copy-paste a deck from Master Duel's community.

Once you've built your deck, it's time to obtain the required cards.
