Ever since this was announced I was interested, having been an old Yu-Gi-Oh! fan, and surprisingly enough, especially after my time trying Duel Links and being unsatisfied wholly and completely, this is honestly, kind of incredible?
There are solo missions to help you start to get a handle on different ideas and various deck types that are in the game now. They start you off with plenty of gems where I've been able to open some 200 packs easy so far and make a variety of decks and work towards making more. I'm still not so great at the game, but that's ok, because I'm enjoying it, and the UI and presentation are very nice.
Also the soundtrack? The composer well and truly went off in the best way, and this is legit one of the best parts of this game. Would definitely recommend trying out if you were a fan of the card game way back when or are just interested at all!
I just wish there was more to help teach fundamentals of the newer concepts like pendulums, links, xyz, etc.

The best way to play modern Yu-GI-Oh. Regardless of your opinion of the state of the meta in this game or in the OCG, it is easily the most accessible way to experience the mechanics that have been added over the years. Easy to keep track of yours and your opponent's graveyard and banished cards, easy to keep track of what the effects of yours and your opponent's cards do, and basically not have to deal with any of the BS that would come with dueling with someone that is using an archetype that you haven't played against before or not being up to date with the rules of the card game in real life. It's also the least expensive way to experience the game. As a programmer, I also very much appreciate what had to be taken to account how all these cards should interact with each other and always work how they are supposed to exactly like following the effect of the cards and rules if you were to duel in real life, all the while the game being smooth and not very resource hungry. The look of the game also has a lot of polish. It's easily the best thing Konami has put out since Metal Gear Solid V.
