@Arawn93 They're generous enough with gems for me, this has been amazing compared to Duel Links. The daily missions give up enough gems to make playing three or so games a day feel worth it, and they just gave us a ton of gems for the xyz event.

And I think the crafting system is more than fair. It would be so broken to be able to trade any random three same rarity cards for one of whatever you want in real life. 😂 Your mileage may vary, but I don't even feel like Konami's being stingy with the URs. I just opened a pack with three URs and one SR the other day.

Like sure, you have to put in some time and grind just like in any free to play game, but it's a much cheaper alternative to buying shiny cardboard.

@DukeDevlin I don't think it's pay to win at all, if anything it's weirdly generous for Konami.

If you'd like to get into the game you can always look up deck profiles online, and there are free simulators like yugioh omega to dip your toes in without paying a dime

Anyways I'm totally smitten with Master Duel. I was pretty burned out on the game before but the format changes, fair free to play model, and quick matchmaking have me totally addicted. Ten dollars invested and my favorite deck is already at its most competitive.

I also love that Konami is taking steps to give Yugioh an identity outside of the anime. Anyone who was going to be drawn into the game from the anime is already here, I'm glad they're taking a new approach

I'd be more interested to know how the gems are earned than where they're spent, but I guess this does confirm that we're getting a duel links style monetization system. I feel like I've been reasonable successful in Duel Links spending very little money, so I'm cautiously optimistic.
