In January 2025, the latest Selection Pack for Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel introduces a duo of potent cards, often recognized as exceptional “hand traps” in the card game. The meta, or metagame, for this widely played digital trading card game has undergone significant evolution over the past few months, with numerous powerful Yu-Gi-Oh archetypes making their debut. Notably, December witnessed the arrival of the “White Forest” cards and additional support for “Gimmick Puppet,” as well as the reintroduction of several previously banned cards such as “Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon” and “Master Peace the True Dracoslaying King.” This new pack promises to add some highly impactful cards to the game.

In modern games like Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel, “hand trap” cards have become essential tools.

Cards such as “Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring” and “PSY-Framegear Gamma” are also highly sought after, providing potent interruptions by nullifying an opponent’s card effects from their hand. The latest Selection Pack introduces two more significant hand trap choices to the collection.

On Thursday, a fresh Selection Pack for Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel was rolled out, offering the “Dragons’ Reincarnation” pack for nearly two months. This pack includes the potent “Mulcharmy” cards, enabling players to pull cards when their opponents summon from the hand or Extra Deck with “Mulcharmy Purulia” and “Mulcharmy Fuwalos”. The Selection Pack also debuts the “Ashened” archetype in Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel, while providing additional support for the widely popular “Drytron” theme. The latest Selection Pack for Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel will remain available until March 6th’s early morning.

The January Selection Pack was released alongside another banlist update, which notably impacted the popular “Tenpai Dragon” deck by limiting both “Tenpai Dragon Chundra” and “Sangen Summoning” to a single copy per deck.
