Since its introduction, Virtual World has quickly become one of the most popular archetypes in Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel. This deck focuses on banishing monsters from graveyard, and summoning monsters from both hand and graveyard.

The master of the deck is Virtual World Kyubi – Shenshen, a powerful monster who can do all the above mentioned tricks. It also banishes enemy cards and it can be special summoned from graveyard, which is super convenient for this type of deck.

If you enjoy drawing a lot of cards, then this archetype will fit you the best as it is intended to thin your deck by discarding and banishing cards.

All iterations of Thunder Dragon cards in the deck, including the master deck card, trigger different effects when being discarded. Of course, Thunder Dragon Colossus can be fusion summoned in a more traditional way as well, if you wish to do so.

Your spells, such as Allure of Darkness and Chaos Space, allow all your Light and Dark monsters to get banished, thus triggering their own effects.

There are no traps in this deck, as many discard effects have protective abilities of their own.

You can start the game with Sky Striker Ace – Raye, a card that can summon any other Sky Striker Ace monster from your extra deck, and you’ve got plenty of those in there.
