Better graphics, bigger player base, just use ygopro to test out decks before grinding for them in master duel

YGOPRO does have some cards that Master Duel doesn't AFAIK, especially relating to newer archetypes that are missing entirely. Other than that, it's obviously easier to get a deck together in YGOPRO, so just for casual playing with fun decks, it might be better

[Reptile]

YGOPRO is surely better that master duel

Here why
YGOPRO has all cards free to play which mean you can create any deck without pay any money
YGOPRO update the cards once they are released
YGOPRO has more formats TCG OCG and costume formats which can be played by many people, competitive players, casual players, streamers, testers and newbies.
YGOPRO has single, match and tag duels
YGOPRO has a competitive players, streamers, newbie and trolling players which is fun to play against
YGOPRO has chat, spectate, replay which is easy to use.

Now what master duel can offer
Master Duel own by KONAMI
Master Duel requires a lot of money to build a deck, more that $100 to build deck. No way to test a new card before buying them.
Master Duel does not have side deck or match which is the core mechanism of competitive duels.

people still fooled that Master Duel is for competitive players. How can a competitive player play a deck without side deck. Stop fooling yourself saying master duel is for competitive players. The developers are too lazy to released Master Duel too early just to earn money from people.
The main core of YuGiOh competitive Duel is to have a side deck and play matches, which master duel does not have and will never have, because KONAMI will not make a big change in the foundation of the game in a couple of months.
I believe most competitive players and streamers eventually will go back to YGOPRO.

YGOPRO is completely free to play.

Mater Duel exist so you can donate your money to Konami execs bonuses. At the very least it is not actually p2w because free player get enough to build any deck by doing solo mode and dismantling all they dont need, the problem is they can only ever play that one deck forever because most of the income is one time off.

There is only one thing that Master Duel outperforms ygopro in and that's graphics. BUt YGOpro in all its forms is just objectively better by every other metric:

- It updates sooner
- You have access to all cards
- No microtransactions
- No addiction model
- Has multiple formats (TCG, OCG, Rush, Anime)
- Has every ban list
- Defaults to uncensored artwork
- Allows you to fully customise your client for music, sound effects, and even the pictures used for your cards. Want to replace all your Dark Magicians with genderbent fanart? Easily done. Want every card to just be a picture of Patrick Stewart? Done.
- Easily moddable for adding custom cards
- LAN play (which you can also use for "single player but I'm playing both sides)
- Vs. AI mode
- Tag Team mode
- 1 Vs 3 Mode

the list goes on.

That's just a natural consequence of it being an unofficial open-source program made by fans, for fans, as opposed to a corporate-made gachapon machine trying to fleece money off the gullible and weak-willed.

Now, I don't think it's necessarily WISE to talk openly about ygopro on konami-run forums. But on the other hand it's already so well known and at the end of the day Konami can never kill it because of the open source nature. They already tried once and when they struck it down, it came back stronger than ever.

Frankly if I were in charge of the yugioh department I'd just look at ygopro and say "Well, we need to make a video game to make money. Let's build off the old Tag Force model and look at the fan-made stuff to see what ideas we can borrow".

So basically
Ygopro + cards buyable with in-game money you earn by playing (not MTX) + a story mode basically = my ideal yugioh video game.

I like master duel because it's visually appealing, i like the animations and effects, the music is good, i like the mate system. Maybe fi you only care about the duel itself, none of these things matter to you, but the reason i couldn't get into stuff like magic the gathering arena or gwent is because they're so incredibly ugly on the eyes. I want my card game to be fun AND look nice. Doesn't mean i don't think ygopro doesnt have merit though. it's still useful to test out a deck before you work towards it in master duel.

And you will get thrown off the window by Konami CEO who says "why would we use old tag force model when we can go the predatory monetization route and fleece the gullible gambling addicts?"

Microtransaction is cancer and unfortunately most gamers voted with their wallet for it to be more profitable than more ethical monetization methods.

True enough, Komoney will never accept the method that produces good games anymore, even if presented with the opportunity to sell updates as DLC or inevitably be reminded that the old World Championship video games were the yugioh equivalent of Fifa with a story mode.

But profit only gets you so far when you earn ill will.
