Cursed Golden Land

Whispers among sailors of the "Isle of Gold."

Drawn were the many, by tales bold. Is it desire or a curse that takes hold?

The story begins with a study, we're told.

Cursed Golden Land is a Solo Mode Gate in Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel and focuses on the "Eldlich" archetype.

Like most Gates in Solo Mode, each Duel can be played with either the player's own Deck or a provided Loaner Deck fitting the theme of the Gate, with separate rewards for each. Completing this gate for the first time unlocks the "Immortal Royalty" Secret Pack for 24 hours.

Chapter 3: Duel 1

"Eldlich the Golden Lord" has a powerful effect but requires sending a Spell or Trap Card to the Graveyard as an activation cost. Keep track of Magic and Trap Cards that are effective in the Graveyard to get an advantage in Duels. After activation, not only do "Golden Land" Continuous Trap Cards continue to be treated as Trap Cards after being Special Summoned as monsters, but also have effects that can be activated in the Graveyard. Make good use of these tools to achieve victory!

Chapter 3.2: Duel 2

The opponent combines the "Golden Land" Continuous Trap Card with Continuous Trap Cards like "Statue of Anguish Pattern" that turn into monsters after activation to steal initiative on the field. Also be warned that they use cards like "Zoma the Spirit" which trigger effects if destroyed recklessly.

Chapter 3.3: Duel 3

The opponent Special Summons powerful Level 10 monsters like "Raviel, Lord of Phantasms" early and supports them with "Eldlich the Golden Lord" and "Golden Land" Continuous Trap Cards. If you take too long to deal with them, they will activate powerful cards like "Fallen Paradise," putting you in a more and more precarious position. Deal with these quickly with a combination of "Zombie World" and "Doomking Balerdroch." Once you break their formation, it won't be so easy to rebuild. They'll fold like a house of cards.
