The previously announced Tactical-Try Decks for Ranked Duels are now live until June 30th (time zones applying). The following Loaner Decks are available:
Decisive Strike Cyber Dragon

“A “Cyber Dragon” Deck focused on offense. First, get ready to Fusion Summon with effects such as those of “Cyber Dragon Core” or “Cyberdark Chimera”. It can be surprisingly easy to gather the required materials because most “Cyber Dragon” monsters are treated as “Cyber Dragon” while on the filed or in the Graveyard, for instance “Cyber Dragon Core”. What’s more, monsters Fusion Summoned with “Power Bond” have higher ATK. Surge to victory in a single turn with overwhelming offensive force!”

Evil★Twin the Kaito Pair

“A devious “Evil★Twin” Deck revolving around link-ups between “Ki-sikil” and “Lil-la”. “Ki-sikil” and “Lil-la” monsters are the crux of this Deck, and they can Summon each other with their effects. Note that the Link Monsters “Evil★Twin Ki-sikil” and “Evil★Twin Lil-la” can each activate an additional effect if Special Summoned while you control their partner. “Evil★Twin’s Trouble Sunny” is a powerful trump card that can special Summon both at the same time, so make it your objective to Summon it. Flummox the opponent with your dazzling monsters and snatch away victory in style!”

Eldlich the Conqueror

“An “Eldlich” Deck that fights tenaciously with Trap Cards. Based around “Eldlich the Golden Lord”, “Eldlixir” cards can summon monsters, and “Golden Land” cards can act as interference. Get a good grasp of these effects to ensure you combine them effectively! Be careful not toe Set or activate cards recklessly. You’ll have to send a Trap or Spell Card to the Graveyard to activate the effects of “Eldlich the Golden Lord”, so it’s essential to hold back on occasion. Control the flow of battle to dominate the field and take victory!”

Note: The Eldlich Loaner Deck includes 2 copies of Pot of Extravagance, even though it is currently Limited.

Following the introduction of these Loaner Decks, the Secret Packs for each of the themes (Pearlescent Cyber Dragons, Electron Illusions, Immortal Royalty) will also be unlocked until June 30th (time zones applying), and until then, you can obtain 1 free pack from each.

Furthermore, Solo Mode Gates have been introduced for each Deck. Rather than focusing on the stories behind each theme, they are focused on practicing the use of the pre-built Decks. By completing each Gate, you can obtain 2 Legacy Pack Tickets and an Icon (for a total of 6 Tickets and 3 Icons):

Cyber Dragon Icon

“An Icon depicting a Cyber Dragon that captures victory by Fusion Summoning. It unleashes its ultimate attack, the Evolution Burst.”

Evil★Twin Ki-sikil & Lil-la Icon

“An Icon depicting a skillful thief duo. They appeared out of nowhere into the underworld’s global agent ranking.”

Eldlixir of White Destiny Icon

“An Icon depicting a gem of profound wisdom that emits a white radiance. It transforms by absorbing the desires of sacrifices offered to it.”
