Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters

The Deck Master System

By Duelist Knight

(Last Update: 10/26/04)

 

 

            Welcome Duelists to the Advanced Duel Monsters game, the Deck Master System. Based on the Noa/Big 5 saga of the Yu-Gi-Oh anime, the Deck Master System is a fun and rewarding version of this great game. The purpose of me introducing this into the real game is to spice it up and make any deck and any strategy more complex and fulfilling. Now that I have finished, let’s learn about the Deck Master System.

 

 

 

 

I. The Deck Master System

 

The Deck Master is simply having a monster from your deck be your “Guardian” of sorts. This “Deck Master” will be put on the Sidelines and is ready to be put into play at during the main phase of your turns in the game. The purpose of your Deck Master is to add strategy to your game, but at a price. Should you have your Deck Master out in play and it’s destroyed or removed from a duel, you lost the game, no matter how much life points you have. It’s as simple as that.

 

 

II. Attribute and Unique/Universal Abilities

 

In the Deck Master System game, each monster has two abilities:

-         Attribute Ability

-         Unique/Universal Ability

 

Attribute Ability is based on the elements in Duel Monsters that appears in the upper right corner of a monster card. This ability is a universal effect that all monsters of a particular element share. This gives bonuses, deductions and other effects. Only the Deck Master has this ability.

 

Unique/Universal Ability is based on the uniqueness of a monster or on that monster’s sub-type. Unique Ability is for “Unique” monsters and Universal Ability is for all monsters that are not “Unique.” For Example:

 

Black Magician/Dark Magician: Deck Master Unique Ability – Ultimate Magic

As long as Black/Dark Magician is on the Sidelines, no magic/spell cards from opponent can affect you directly (Magic/spell cards that only affect the player). Upon entering the field, Black/Dark Magician receives a 500 attack and defense point bonus.

 

Water Magician: Deck Master Universal Ability – Marine Life Shield

 

The Unique Ability is only for one particular monster and is not shared with others. Universal Ability is for all monsters of a particular sub-type that doesn’t have a Unique Ability.

 

 

III. Deck Master Rules

 

Before learning about the abilities of monsters that would be made into Deck Masters, There are some rules to be understood:

 

-         If your Deck Master is destroyed or removed from a duel, you lose the duel. Temporary removal of a Deck Master from a duel is exempt from this rule.

 

-         You can switch your current Deck Master with a new one, from your deck or hand, but only if you pay 2000 life points. The old Deck Master is shuffled into your deck/fusion deck. This can ONLY be done ONCE per duel and only if your Deck Master is on the Sidelines.

 

-         Putting a Deck Master onto the field is like putting a token on the field as it’s not bound by summoning effects. Once the Deck Master is on the field, it can’t be returned to the Sidelines. It can only return to the Sidelines if the Deck Master was made to go to the hands of you or your opponent’s, to your deck/fusion deck or by a required effect.

 

-         Monsters that were fused or special/sacrifice summoned from a Deck Monster becomes Deck Master, but without the abilities that a Deck Master would have.

 

-         Deck Masters CAN’T be taken control of by an opponent.

 

-         Deck Master Abilities (Attribute and Unique/Universal) are deemed as monster effects.

 

-         If the Deck Master has special requirements for being summoned, those requirements are void and replaced with an one turn summoning sickness until the next main phase that the Deck Master was put into play. Summoning Sickness applies to attacking only, use of effects are accepted.

 

-         All Deck Masters that have normal effects lose those effects for their Deck Master Abilities. Only getting a new Deck Master can restore the monster’s original effect.
