For other uses, see Speed Duel (disambiguation).

Speed Duel (スピードデュエル Supīdo Dyueru) is an alternate, specialized format of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game and Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game. It is designed to be a simplified, rapid-style version of the game.[1]

Speed Duel was first introduced in the "Duel Terminal" system, although Duel Terminal Speed Duels have slightly different rules to later Speed Duels. Speed Duel was later used as the format of the video games Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters Saikyo Card Battle and Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links. Speed Duels are prominently featured in the Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS anime, where Duels that take place in the Data Storm in LINK VRAINS are conducted as Speed Duels.[2]

In the TCG, a Speed Duel format inspired by Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links was launched in November 2018.[1]

TCG[edit]

Speed Duels in the TCG were first promoted to stores in emails looking for stores interested in running a Speed Dueling event, to be held from October 4–17, 2017. Interested stores were sent Demo Speed Dueling kits including three sets of six Decks to be used.

The Speed Duel format premiered at YCS Pasadena in November 2018.[3][4] The first sets were released in January 2019.

Rules[edit]

TCG Speed Duel field

Speed Duel follows the stardard Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG rules, with the following differences:[5][6]

Card legality[edit]

A Skill Card ("Beatdown!")

In the TCG, only cards marked with the Speed Duel Logo are legal for use in Speed Duels. This logo appears as a watermark in the background of the text box for every Speed Duel card. In addition, with the exception of cards released in the debut Speed Duel Starter Decks, a Speed Duel tag is also printed as text above the top-left of the text box of non-Skill Cards.

With the exception of Skill Cards, Speed Duel cards are legal in both Speed Duel and Master Duel tournaments in the TCG.

Official Speed Duel tournaments also follow a limited list.

Card legality[edit]

In the OCG, Speed Duel is a format that can be played with any OCG card. Only two products were released specifically for this format:

Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS[edit]

In the Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS anime, Speed Duels are a type of Duel played in LINK VRAINS where players use Duel Boards to ride the Data Storm.

Speed Duels had disappeared for many years when the Data Storm ostensibly ceased to exist, relegating Speed Duels to legends. However, when Yusaku Fujiki captured Ai, Ai released the Data Storm, thus reviving these Duels.[10]

Rules[edit]

Speed Duels feature a smaller playing field than Master Duels

Speed Duel in video games[edit]

  • Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links: The game uses the same Speed Duel rules as the TCG, although there are a few differences:
    • There are two Extra Monster Zones, with players being able to use one each.
    • The Extra Deck initially starts with 5 slots. 3 Extra Deck+ items can be acquired to increase the slots to a total of 8 by peforming 10 Synchro Summons, 10 Xyz Summons and 10 Link Summons for each new slot. These additional Extra Deck slots were added alongside the release of Duel World (5D's), Duel World (ZEXAL) and Duel World (VRAINS) for each respective slot.
    • There is no Side Deck
    • Instead of a Skill Card, players can use 1 Skill. Some Skills have specific requirements the Main Deck and/or Extra Deck must follow in order for the Skill to be useable before the beginning of a duel
