The Best Replacements for Maxx ‘C’ in Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

• The best replacements for Maxx “C” in Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel are other cards that can stop your opponent's turn.
• Cards like Effect Veiler, Ash Blossom, and Infinite Impermanence — also known as “hand traps” — are good replacements.
• Potential Maxx “C” replacements in Master Duel range in rarity from Ultra Rare to Normal.

Maxx “C” is one of the most powerful (and controversial) Yu-Gi-Oh! cards ever released. Activate it at the right time, and your opponent is forced to either skip their turn or let you draw so many cards that you're almost guaranteed to win.

But in Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel, it's an Ultra Rare (UR) card, the most expensive in the game. So if you don't have enough gems to craft it, you'll need a replacement.

The best replacements for Maxx ‘C' in Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Maxx “C” is a great card for three reasons: It disrupts your opponent's turn, it helps you draw cards, and it's completely generic (meaning you can play it in any deck). And while no card can do everything Maxx “C” does, there are cards that come close.

Maxx “C” is a type of card known as a “hand trap” — a card that you can activate from your hand during your opponent's turn. For this guide, we're going to look at other generic hand traps that can disrupt your opponent's turn.

Some of the best replacements for Maxx “C” are, unfortunately, other UR rarity cards. But most are Super Rare or cheaper, making them a great choice for anyone low on UR gems.

Here are the hand traps you should replace Maxx “C” with, listed in order of how good they are in competitive play. The best cards are at the top.

When used correctly, any of these cards can force your opponent to end their turn early, giving you a massive amount of momentum.

Most of these cards are also considered “staples,” meaning that you can't unlock them by opening Secret Packs, like you can most other cards. Instead you'll either need to craft them with gems, or try your luck with Master Packs — the packs that contain every single card in the game.

Notably, none of these options help you draw cards like Maxx “C” does. The ability to draw cards is one of the most powerful effects in Yu-Gi-Oh, and losing out on that draw power can make some decks unplayable. If your deck needs more draw power, you should look into generic cards made exclusively for that purpose.

The best of these are the Pot cards, all of which are Super Rare. They all let you add new cards to your hand, but they usually come with some severe drawbacks.

And of course, remember that you don't have to pick one specific card to replace Maxx “C”. If you have the room in your deck, you can add multiple hand traps and draw cards. This gives your deck consistency.
