Yugipedia is an UNOFFICIAL deck builder app for the Yu-Gi-Oh!® card game. This app is not affiliated with, sponsored, endorsed, or approved by Studio Dice, Shueisha, TV Tokyo, or Konami. Build and test decks using a current database of cards that is updated daily. Share decks straight to your friend's app or share deck lists anywhere. UPDATED DAILY Yugipedia’s card database is updated every day, giving you the most recent cards. Most cards will be on Yugipedia within 24 hours of their details being revealed.

LIGHTNING-FAST DECK BUILDING The deck building process has been streamlined to allow you to find and add the cards you want quickly and efficiently. Add cards to your deck with a single tap, and change the amount or remove the card with another tap. TEST YOUR DECKS You can test your decks on the fully-featured Test Field. It has all the field slots as well as tokens, counters, coin, dice, and handy shortcuts for Pot of Avarice, Desires, Duality, and Extravagance. The drag-and-drop interface is easy to use, so you can practice your combos and learn new strategies the same way you would test-draw with your real-life deck. SHARE YOUR DECKS You can share your decks as clickable links that will open Yugipedia and import the deck. You can also share a text deck list for easy viewing. FEATURES • Automatic card list updates • Over 13,800 Yu-Gi-Oh! cards, with more added daily as they are released • Full support for the Genesys Format • Includes almost all official TCG cards and OCG cards • Add cards to your deck with a single tap • TEST YOUR DECKS with the solo Test feature (not a duel system) • Smart search has suggestions and typo tolerance • Automatically-updating banlists for TCG, OCG, GOAT, Edison, and Master Duel • Small, optimized card images to save storage space • Share deck links that can be imported straight into your friend's app • Don’t have to update the app to get an updated card list • Simple interface, everything is only a few clicks away If I’m missing any cards, send me an email so I can add them to the app. Feedback is welcome and very much appreciated.
