Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel is an expansive card game with over 10,000 cards in the collection. That can make it difficult to find rare, valid cards for a player’s deck, but there are Secret Packs to help. Secret Packs feature cards from a particular archetype of deck, making life so much easier for deckbuilding.

These packs come with eight cards apiece and cost 100 gems in the shop, but these decks have to be unlocked before the packs can be purchased. When looking at the Secret Packs, players can see three stats: Power, Technical (Difficulty), and Hold the Line (Defense) of the cards that come in that pack.

It can help a player decide on buying that pack in Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel.
