Since Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel launched in early 2022, Konami has run several special Exhibition events. Each event has centered around a certain type of card. On May 12, a new Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel Exhibition event will go live: the Fusion Festival.
So, how does this event work, and what should you keep an eye out for? Let’s take a look.
How it works
Synchro Festival Exhibition matches yield Medals. Players will earn Medals just for completing duels, though Wins do award more Medals than Losses. Users who use their own decks and win will receive 500 Medals per victory, and 50 for each loss. Should you use one of the three loaner decks provided by Konami, those totals will be cut down. Medals will be important for the awards portion of this event.
We should note that all Synchro, Xyz, and Link Monsters are banned for this tournament. This also includes the incredibly powerful Predaplant Verte Anaconda, which does help with summoning Fusion Monsters from the Extra Deck. Additionally, cards like Artifact Scythe and Dogmatika Ecclessia, the Virtuous are also banned for this event. Eldlich, the Golden Lord decks, will be able to function in this event, but only one copy will be allowed in a deck.
Rewards
Throughout the event, users will be able to unlock new rewards based on the number of cumulative Medals obtained during the event. Here’s a look at the rewards list:
- 50 Medals: 50 Gems
- 100 Medals: 50 Gems
- 500 Medals: 200 Gems
- 1000 Medals: 200 Gems

The main reward layout looks like the one from the N/R and Synchro Festivals from prior months. The new additions to the list are a new Mate and a special Title that can be added to your Master Duel profile. The title can be earned at 22,000 Medals earned.
What will be the most popular decks?
Expect to see HERO decks used in for the Fusion event. Konami has added a HERO-themed Loaner deck for this event. Plus, the HERO archetype is quite popular, so expect it to see some run.
Cyber Dragons, Thunder Dragons, and an Invoker/Shaddoll mashup are among some of the other decks that will most likely see some play in Master Duel’s Fusion Festival event.
This event will end on May 23.
