If you ever wanted to dive into Yu-Gi-Oh! and have as even of a playing field as possible, the freshly released Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel is probably your best bet. It features a free-to-play system that lets you acquire a solid collection over time, over 10,000 unique cards to mess around with, a variety of game modes and events, and most importantly of all, it's still brand new so you can easily compete with the rest of the playerbase.
What all of this looks like in actual gameplay, that you can get a sneak peek at through the recently posted launch trailer. Have a gander:
As for whether I would recommend it, that's a difficult question to answer. On one hand Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel is a solid online client with a vast array of cards and combos to experiment with. On the other hand, the actual matches frequently revolve around very, very early lockouts and combo kills. So when it comes to your enjoyment of Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel, and Yu-Gi-Oh! in general for that matter, I think it's going to depend entirely on how much you like high-powered formats where you have to annihilate your opponents before they get a chance to do the same to you.
Whatever your thoughts on the matter may be, you can learn more about Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel, as well as give it a try for yourself, over at Steam. Enjoy!
