Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel continues to expand its meta with the release of its newest Selection Pack for January 2025, Dragons’ Reincarnation as revealed on X. Among its highlights are the “Mulcharmy” cards, a powerful new archetype of hand traps expected to make a significant impact on competitive play. This update, which also features new support for the “Ashened” archetype and “Drytron” theme, is set to shake up the game until its availability ends on March 6.
At the center of this Selection Pack are two key “Mulcharmy” cards: Mulcharmy Purulia and Mulcharmy Fuwalos. These Ultra Rare cards allow players to draw additional cards when their opponent Summons monsters from the hand or Extra Deck. Already compared to Maxx “C”, one of the most-played cards in Master Duel, the “Mulcharmy” archetype offers a strategic advantage in resource generation and disruption. Their introduction is expected to influence deck-building significantly, with counters like Called by the Grave and Crossout Designator potentially seeing increased usage.
The Dragons’ Reincarnation pack in Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel also debuts new support for established archetypes. The Ashened cards provide fresh options for control-oriented strategies, while additional support for “Drytron” enhances the competitive viability of this popular theme. Notable additions like Varudras, the Final Bringer of the End Times, and Light & Darkness Dragonlord offer opportunities for integration into both new and existing decks, including “Branded.”
The Selection Pack arrives alongside a January banlist update, which has further reshaped the competitive landscape. Key hits include limitations on “Tenpai Dragon Chundra” and “Sangen Summoning,” two staples of the dominant “Tenpai Dragon” deck. Cards such as Pot of Prosperity, Fairy Tail – Snow, and Dimension Shifter have also been impacted by restrictions. These adjustments, combined with the release of the Dragons’ Reincarnation pack, aim to create a dynamic and evolving competitive environment for 2025.
The Dragons’ Reincarnation pack represents the latest step in Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel’s efforts to keep the meta fresh and engaging.
