The solo campaign was the only thing I planned to try. I told myself I would play just enough to see how the AI handles basic opening hands, then stop. Twenty minutes later I was still there, watching the same tutorial duel grind through the same scripted turn sequence.
Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel rewards patience more than it rewards curiosity. Most of the match time is spent waiting for the opponent or the AI to finish reading every single card text aloud in their head, so actual choices happen in short bursts separated by long lulls. That rhythm makes every single decision feel heavier than it probably is.
The free card packs are stingy enough that I keep cycling the same three starter decks, and the ranked queue feels like a paywall waiting to happen. I can already tell I will either spend money or burn out on the same handful of strategies the AI is willing to teach.
