Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel sets itself apart from other digital TCGs through its huge amount of single-player content. They help you learn the basics of the game, the more advanced concepts that can be scary to newcomers, and even look into the lore of the cards depicted on them.
They're also a fantastic way to get a lot of goodies and rewards. Even if you know Yu-Gi-Oh! in and out, completing all the single-player missions can net you a ton of gems, cards, and cosmetics.
Tutorial
The tutorial introduces you to the absolute basics of Yu-Gi-Oh! duelling before you get into the game itself. Summoning monsters, attacking, life points, and setting cards are all explained here. Keep in mind any cosmetic rewards are in bold.
Mission | Reward |
---|---|
Practice Mission #1 | Gems (x500) |
Practice Mission #2 | Starting Deck Structure Deck |
Goal | Gems (x500) and your pick of one of three Structure Decks |
Duel Strategy
Duel Strategy is a campaign that explains more advanced concepts of Yu-Gi-Oh!. The one track of practice missions explains four types of Special Summoning: Synchro, Link, Pendulum, and Xyz. If you played Yu-Gi-Oh! a long time ago and want to catch up with what's been added since then, this campaign is a great way to be introduced to newer mechanics.
The rewards for each mission vary. Many are cards, but there are also a few cosmetics, like Field Parts that decorate your game screen, and a Mate mascot that cheers you in while duelling. The Practice missions also give you a lot of gems.
Mission | Reward |

The Absolute Monarch
The first of two story campaigns available as soon as you complete the tutorial, The Absolute Monarch dives into the backstory of the popular Monarch archetype. This campaign sets out the format of all those after, and will walk you through how to play the archetype. In particular, Monarchs are very heavy in Tribute Summoning (sacrificing your own monsters to summon bigger ones).
In all the archetype campaigns, Duel Missions give you different rewards depending on if you use the loaner deck supplied to you or your own. Some missions will also reward you with orbs. Orbs are used to unlock additional tracks in each campaign, which can give you better reward and exclusive cosmetics. However, orbs aren't rewarded in order, so you'll have to come back later once you've earned orbs in one campaign to unlock the extra missions in another.

The Warriors of the Six Elemental Lords
The second story deck focuses on the Elemental Lords archetype, which is focused on controlling and using your graveyard with the Elementsaber ability.

The campaign focuses on the Ruin, Queen of Oblivion and Demise, King of Armageddon archetype. Using lots of ritual summoning, you're meant to flip between these two to cause massive damage to your opponent.

The Karakuri are an archetype focused on Syncrho summoning. The catch is more Karakuri monsters have to attack when they're able to, and also switch to Defense position whenever they're attack. In exchange, there are lots of effects that activate when they switch between positions.

The Glory of the Gladiator Beasts, Studying the Origins of the Karakuri, and Gears of Justice dispatch! all unlock once you've completed both the Mystery of the Megalith and Pyroxene Warriors' Goal missions.
The Geargia Monsters archetype is focused on swarming the field, as each Geargia monster is excellent at pulling each other out of your deck. They can then combine into powerful Xyz Summons, like Gear Gigant X.

Digital Bugs in Cyberspace
Digital Bug In Cyberspace is unlocked when the Goal mission of Gears of Justice dispatch! is cleared.
Digital Bug has some similarities to both the Karakuri and Geargia archetypes. Like Geargia, it's an Xyz Summoning-focused archetype that likes to flood the board, but like the Karakuri it has a heavy Defense-position-matters theme.

The Colossal Mechanical Conch
The Colossal Mechanical Conch is unlocked when The Steam Dinosaurs of Unchartered Lands' Goal mission is cleared.
Qli (also known as Qliphort) is another archetype that uses Pendulum Summoning. However, it goes one step further than the Dinomists and uses the Pendulum Summoned monsters to then Tribute Summon into even bigger things. There are also lots of effects that activate when the monsters are Tributed.

The Legend of the Star Heroes
The Legend of the Star Heroes and The Steam Dinosaurs of Unchartered Lands are unlocked when Studying the Origins of the Karakuri and Gears of Justice dispatch! Goal missions are cleared.
This is the only campaign to have more than one chapter, and is by far the longest campaign in the game. Each chapter has more missions than any other (though a lot of them are Scenario cutscenes), and it serves as something of a 'final boss' for the solo mode.
World Chalice was one of the game's earliest archetypes built around Link Summoning. By tributing the right number of Link Levels, you can bring out increasingly more powerful Link Monsters, which can then be protected with other cards in the deck.
