A new update toYu-Gi-Oh! Master Duelhas officially added the first new Secret Pack since the game’s launch, putting some of the game’s most powerful cards into a permanent pack. The official simulator for Konami’s massively popular card game has featured plenty of strong cards added since its January launch. Some, likethe “Swordsoul” cards, have shifted the game’s meta with dominant new strategies taking over the game. Now, Konami has added a new way for players to get their hands on some of the most important, meta-relevant cards in the game.WhileYu-Gi-Oh! Master Duelhas frequently introduced new cards to the online TCG, past additions have come in the form of “Selection Packs.” These limited-time packs feature a small selection of new cards to be added into the game, with the packs being available for a few months after their release. However, until now, new cards added after the game’s launch have only been available from the “Master Pack” featuring every card in the game or by crafting after their Selection Pack goes away. Now, the newest Secret Pack gives players the chance to pick up the powerful “Branded” cards.RELATED:Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel Is Giving Out Gems, Cosmetics to Celebrate MilestoneYu-Gi-Oh!
