Overview

After each Maintenance we aim to provide a quick overview of the Most Popular cards being used in the "highest Rank" of Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel, and how their performance has changed over the recent weeks. This is now possible thanks to official data from the recent "Card Statistics" feature in-game!

Note: This data is accurate as of the January 8th 2026 and is compared with usage data from our December 5th 2025 Data Update.

We also have our own Top Cards page that tracks the full data used for this article - so check it out as soon as it's updated later today!
