Blue-Eyes saw an impressive showing throughout the rankings, with three players including the top two Duelists using Blue-Eyes as their deck of choice. The first-place player used Tenpai Dragon as an alternative to Blue-Eyes, while the third-place Duelist utilized the popular "Branded" deck.

The variety of decks used by Master Duel's top players was not without a few interesting outliers in the rankings as well.
