The best way to play Yu-Gi-Oh! online for free in 2023 is using Dueling Nexus. Dueling Nexus is totally free, and all cards are unlocked. You don’t need to collect points or purchase packs, simply go into the deck editor, search for any card you want and add it to your deck. New cards are added as soon as they are announced, a long time before they are officially printed.
Best of all, Dueling Nexus is fully automated, that means its impossible for your opponent to cheat or make a mistake, and it runs fully in the web browser. You don’t need to download or install anything. Dueling Nexus is supported on all devices, including computers, laptops, tablets, phones, and even your smart fridge.

Before you start dueling, you will need to make a deck. You can either create a new deck, upload a ygopro deck, or browse the public decks that other users have shared. Once you have created or imported a deck with at least 40 cards, its time to duel. You can make as many decks as you want.
Dueling Nexus currently supports single, match and tag duels. The recommended way to duel against random opponents using the latest TCG banlist is to join a queue. If you wish to duel a friend, or play using custom settings, you can host a custom duel.
In addition to being able to duel other players, you can also duel our advanced, state of the art AI, called Nyx. From the bottom of the duel screen, you can either click ‘Quick Duel’ to be instantly matched up with Nyx, or click ‘Host Duel’, from there you can pick which deck Nyx uses as well as many other settings.
All of your duels are saved, and you can watch them later. Replays are saved for a few weeks, but they are eventually deleted to make space on the server, however, if you really liked your replay, you can favourite it, that way it will never be deleted.
In the ‘Profile’ section of the website, you can customize different settings, including the language of the game. The card database is currently available in 11 languages. You can set your avatar, card sleeve, playmat and other cosmetics, as well as change your username anytime.
There is a leaderboard that shows the best ranked players for each season. Dueling Nexus is not just a yugioh game, its a hub for yugioh players. We have the latest yugioh news, an advanced deck sharing center, a card database, and a yugioh card maker that lets you make custom card images.
