How to build a Dragonmaid deck in Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel
Dragonmaid decks in Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel are all about controlling the field. The Dragonmaid monsters can continuously bring themselves back from the graveyard using monster effects, allowing you to control the battlefield and overwhelm your enemy with monsters. The main focus of the deck is sending powerful monsters from your deck to the graveyard so they can be special summoned.
How to get Dragonmaid cards
Dragonmaid cards can be obtained in two ways: the first is by crafting the necessary cards using crafting materials you get from dismantling cards or completing missions. The other way is to collect them from secret packs, with the majority of the cards coming from the Dragon Luster secret pack. The secret pack can be discovered for 24 hours by either pulling a rare card from another card pack, or by crafting a SR or UR rarity from that pack, like the Chamber Dragonmaid card. Packs cost 100 gems each and purchasing 10 at a time increases your odds of getting a rare card.

The two main monsters here are the “Dragonmaid” monsters, which have high ATK and DEF. The Link monsters are more focused on their special effects, sending cards back to the hands or special summon monsters. Like the rest of the deck, the goal here is getting powerful monster on the field in the shortest amount of time possible. The majority of the “Dragonmaid” cards in the deck combo together, so you shouldn’t have too much trouble getting something rolling.
Duel plan
The duel plan for the Dragonmaid deck is to get some high-powered Dragonmaid monsters into your graveyard as fast as possible so they can be special summoned. This can be done by playing low-level monsters, like Parlor Dragonmaid, that have an effect that will send monsters from the deck to the graveyard. This can also be achieved using Pot of Disparity to send six cards from the extra deck to the graveyard, which includes a couple powerful fusion Dragonmaid monsters. After getting these cards in the graveyard, use spell cards to special summon them, overwhelming your opponent with monsters.
