The Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel infographic showcases the most played cards in the game

A recently released infographic from Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel has revealed the most played cards in the game, with several powerful and popular cards featuring in the top 10. Since the launch of the digital platform for Konami's highly popular trading card game last year, players have discovered a variety of meta-defining cards. Konami's regular introduction of new cards into the game has brought dominant decks like "Tearlaments" and "Spright" into the card pool, alongside existing classics like "Maxx C" and "Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring." Now, a new graphic unveils the most frequently used cards in the game.

While Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel has achieved massive success with the game, one card has taken a dominant position since the launch of the digital platform. Maxx "C" quickly shaped the meta of the online trading card game as players were drawn to its powerful effect, allowing them to draw cards each time their opponent Special Summons a monster. The popularity of the card led to counter options like "Called by the Grave" and "Crossout Designator" also becoming staple components of the game. Now, Maxx "C" is considered the most played card in Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel, according to a new graphic.

The latest update of Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel has revealed the most played cards in the game, with Maxx "C" standing out as the top card as expected. Maxx "C" achieves an astonishing play rate of 93.80%, while one of its popular counters, Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring, is played in 88.40% of decks. "Kashtira Fenrir" and "Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS - Sky Thunder" complete the game's top 4 with 64.50% and 61.50% respectively. Kashtira Fenrir is from the latest Selection Pack of Master Duel, "Rage of Chaos," which was added to the game earlier this month.
