The BEST Master Duel Decks post Dracotail! - December 2025 Update | Master Duel Meta Analysis

Our Top 10 picks for the best deck in the current meta, post Aerial Superiority for December 2025. In this series we'll showcase the best performing decks for each season with this episode the Meta Analysis and Tier List for December '25, post Aerial Superiority and for the Duelist Cup in Master Duel. This is purely based on available statistics and not actual powerlevel. If a deck is used often by poorer players, it will reduce the winrate, thus may not show up in this list. It is solely performance based! (Next update scheduled to be released around mid-January) New decks added in and/or updated to Master Duel: Dracotail Odion Artmage Dragon Support And others Tier explanation: S tier: absolutely dominating the ranked ladder mostly in playrate but to a lesser degree also winrate (mirror-matches will suppress winrate). A tier: well-above average performance on both winrate and playrate. B tier: above average performance on winrate with sufficient playrate. C tier: above average winrate with low playrate (a.k.a. rogue tier). D tier: average in winrate. E tier: slightly above garbage. G tier: garbage tier (yes, we skipped F). and - are used to distinguish between the same tier to indicate some decks that are somewhat stronger (+) or weaker (-) than the others. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The data is coming from open source platforms, such as Untapped, Master Duel Meta and YGOProDecks, etc. and have been statistically analysed to give you the best overview possible. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ In these monthly shorts we'll be taking a look to decks performances on the ranked ladder (so not best-of-3 events with sidedecks) to best prepare you for the current Master Duel meta. This will not only give you an overview of the best decks of the current format, but will also let new (or seasoned) players know what to expect when they enter the ranked ladder. Do keep in mind that my choices are my choices, and these are based on their playrate and overall performance (mainly on higher levels). Feel free to use my list as a starting point for a civilized discussion in the comments. These lists are made to help people telling them what to expect when they enter ranked ladder, or what to build when they strife for meta dominance, so please be supportive of all people in the comments. There is no need to burn people down for their choices. I will do these lists monthly, preferably 1-2 weeks after a new box release. So when you are hesitant if a box is worth it, wait for the next list to release! #yugioh #masterduel #yugiohmasterduel #beginner #beginnerfriendly #metaanalysis #top10 #shorts #masterduelbestdecks #tierlist #masterdueltierlist #snakeeyes #blueeyes #tearlaments #fireking #duelistcup #floowandereeze #rulersprovidence #fiendsmith #kashtira #maliss #ryzeal #gemknight #mitsurugi #orcust #dragonrulers #skystriker #lunalight #artmage #dracotail
