{{For|other uses|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.<ref name="TCG Speed Duel">{{cite web |url=https://www.konami.com/games/eu/en/topics/14956/ |title = SPEED DUELING, A NEW WAY TO PLAY THE Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME, NOW AVAILABLE |publisher = [[Konami]] |date = January 29, 2019 |accessdate = January 29, 2019}}</ref>

''Speed Duel'' was first introduced in the "[[Duel Terminal]]" system, although [[Speed Duel (Duel Terminal)|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.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS|2|ref}}</ref>

In the ''TCG'', a Speed Duel format inspired by ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links]]'' was launched in November 2018.<ref name="TCG Speed Duel"/>

==''TCG''==
Speed Duels in the ''TCG'' were first promoted to stores in emails looking for stores interested in running a [[Yugipedia:Speed Duel correspondence|Speed Dueling event]], to be held from October 4–17, 2017. Interested stores were sent [[Demo Speed Dueling kit]]s including three sets of six Decks to be used.

The Speed Duel format premiered at [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series Pasadena 2018|YCS Pasadena]] in November 2018.<ref>{{cite web |url = https://yugiohblog.konami.com/2018/11/get-ready-for-speed-dueling/ |title = Get Ready for SPEED DUELING!! |author = Michael Kohanim |publisher = [[Konami]] |date = November 17, 2018 |accessdate = November 29, 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://yugiohblog.konami.com/2018/11/speed-dueling-is-here-at-ycs-pasadena-although-the-speed-dueling-decks-are-not-yet-officially-released-and-wont-be-released-until-2019-duelists-here-this-weekend-are-allowed-to-borrow-one-o/ |title = Speed Duel Feature Match: Devin Liao vs. Christopher Huanosta |author = Tyler Berger |publisher = [[Konami]] |date = November 17, 2018 |accessdate = November 29, 2020}}</ref> The first sets were released in January 2019.

* ''[[Speed Start Deck Synchro Edition]]''

== ''Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS'' ==
In the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS]]'' anime, Speed Duels are a type of Duel played in [[LINK VRAINS]] where players use [[Duel Board]]s 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.<ref name="ep2">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS|2|ref}}</ref>

===Rules===
[[File:Speed Duel rules (anime).png|thumb|right|Speed Duels feature a smaller playing field than Master Duels]]
* Both players only have three [[Main Monster Zone]]s and three [[Spell & Trap Zone]]s. The [[Extra Monster Zone]]s are aligned in front of the leftmost and rightmost Main Monster Zones.
* Each player's starting [[hand]] consists of four cards.
* There is no [[Main Phase 2]].
* Once per Duel, each player can use a [[Skill]].

==Speed Duel in video games==
* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters Saikyo Card Battle]]'': The game uses the ''OCG'' Master Rules 3 Speed Duel rules, but it does not have a [[Field Zone]].

* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links]]'': The game uses the same Speed Duel rules as the ''TCG'', although the player can have up to seven cards in their [[Extra Deck]], after unlocking the sixth and seventh slots in-game by performing a total of 100 [[Synchro Summon]]s and 100 [[Xyz Summon]]s. These additional Extra Deck slots were added with the release of Duel World (5D's) and Duel World (ZEXAL), respectively.
