Best Starter (Structure) Deck
Power of the Dragon is Best for Beginners
Power of the Dragon is the best starter deck to choose in Master Duel. It teaches the basic fundamentals of a Duel without being having complicated mechanics that need to be learned. It also has overall stronger attacking power compared to the other two Starter (Structure)Decks.
Synchro of Unity or Link Generation for Veterans
For players who are familiar to the game's mechanics, you can choose between Synchro of Unity or Link Generation, as they use techniques that can ease the learning curve of the game. What makes both Decks strong are the effects of their cards, which when done right can create a combo for great plays.
All Starters Can be Obtained
While it may be daunting to choose which starter deck you want to have first, pay no heed if you plan to play the game a long time as the other starter decks you didn't choose are obtainable as mission rewards later on!

1. | Have Lord of D., The Flute of Summoning Dragon, and atleast one Blue-Eyes White Dragon in your hand. |
2. | Normal Summon Lord of D. out on the field. |
3. | Cast The Flute of Summoning Dragon to Special Summon Blue-Eyes White Dragon (or one more if you have an additional Dragon). |
This is your bread and butter combo to get Blue-Eyes White Dragon out on the field. Try and use this to gain board and tempo advantage over your opponent.
Best Cards to Add to Power of the Dragon
While the Power of the Dragon starter deck is a great choice for new players, the deck itself could be improved. The Extra Deck for example, is lackluster compared to what you will face on the ladder. Building it properly will net you a strong Blue-Eyes deck that you can try and use to do better in your Ranked Battles.

Best Cards to Add to Synchro of Unity
While the Synchro of Unity starter deck is a solid choice for newcomers and veterans alike, there is still room for improvement. To fully optimize this list, we need to add better Tuner Monsters while maximizing the potential of our Extra Deck.

Link Generation
This Starter (Structure) Deck is for players who are up to date with the newest mechanic introduced in Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS: Link Summoning. Easy to learn, but hard to master, this makes use of Link Monsters: a new kind of Monster Card that does not have any DEF, and have special Link Markers pointing to various Monster Zones on the field.

Best Cards to Add to Link Generation
In a similar vein to Synchro of Unity, Link Generation relies on Special Summons to overwhelm your opponent and get Board Advantage. However, the current deck presented to new players lacks the firepower needed to compete against high-ranking players.
