Meta Duelist

Meta Duelist is an information platform for Yu-Gi-Oh! players. Our mission is to share knowledge about
the game with the community.

We want Meta Duelist to be where the game's strongest Duelists gather — and the first place a new
player goes to learn.

GUIDES AND STRATEGY — WE HAVE WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR
Whether you have been dueling for years or just opened your first structure deck, Meta Duelist is built
to help. Players share strategies and deck lists with each other, and together we grow a community that
backs each other up.

WHAT'S INSIDE

• Rulings — Questions and answers on how the rules work and on the situations that actually come up
mid-duel, explained as plainly as we can make them.

• Every format in one place — Duel Links, Master Duel, TCG, OCG and Rush Duel, with more formats
planned.

• Pick your game, then pick your section — Choose a game on the home screen and go straight to what you
came for: tier lists, sample decks, guides, the banlist, news, box lists or characters.

• Tier list — The meta, updated daily. Track what is winning and build around it. Open any archetype to
see its detailed statistics.

• Sample decks — Browse deck lists other players are running, filter by archetype, and use them as the
starting point for a build of your own.

• AI archetype analysis — An evidence-based power score out of 100 for an archetype, broken down across
metrics like consistency, resilience and payoff, with a confidence rating attached.

• Guides — Learn how to pilot a specific archetype, or how to clear in-game objectives.

• Banlist — Every forbidden, limited and semi-limited card as published by Konami.

• Card wording and terminology — A reference for the terms and phrasing you will run into while
playing.

• News — New information about the game as it lands.

• Characters (where a format has them) — Character data and how to unlock them.

• Box list — Every released box and the cards inside it.

• Deck builder — Share your own decks. Create an account, open Deck Builder from your Control Panel,
and follow the steps to publish a build.

• Tournaments — Register and compete against other players. We offer prizes for high placings.

• Tournament results — Statistics and breakdowns after every event, so you can see which decks are
actually performing before you commit to one for the next tournament.
