A Duelist's '''Main Deck''' is the pile of at least 40 to 60 cards (though there was originally no upward limit), placed on the [[Deck Zone]]. The Main Deck is, essentially, all the cards the duelist will be playing with in Duel. This Deck may contain all of the [[Trap Cards|Trap]], [[Spell Cards|Spell]] and [[Monster Cards]] one duelist may be using, with the exception of [[Fusion Monsters]] and [[Synchro Monsters]], which are placed on the opposite end of the main Deck Zone in the [[Extra Deck]]. Whenever a card effect is activated that lets you search your Deck and select a card(s) to place in your [[Hand]], on the [[Playing Field|field]] or in the [[Graveyard]], you should always [[shuffle]] your Deck to maintain fair play.

The '''Main Deck''' (Japanese: メインのデッキ ''Mein no Dekki''), usually simply referred to as the '''Deck''' (デッキ{{NoteTag|Sometimes written as "山札" in the anime and manga.}} ''Dekki''), is a pile of cards that a [[Duelist]] can [[Draw a card|draw]] from during play. Each Duelist uses his or her own Main Deck in a Duel.

Most Decks contain approximately 40 cards, since 40 is the minimum amount of cards a Deck must have in order to be legal (not including cards in the Extra Deck). Most experienced Duelists will argue that you should stick to the minimum because it increases the chances of you drawing your best card(s).
+
When constructing a Deck, [[Monster Card|Monster]], [[Spell Card|Spell]], and [[Trap Card]]s are placed in the Main Deck. [[Fusion Monster|Fusion]], [[Synchro Monster|Synchro]], [[Xyz Monster|Xyz]], and [[Link Monster]]s are placed in the [[Extra Deck]]. If a player uses official [[Monster Token]], [[Counter]], or [[Field Center Card|Field Center]] cards, these must be stored separately as well.
−
Also another point of view says that a large Deck with cards that allow you to draw the ones you need, like: "[[Terraforming]]" or" [[Dark Magic Curtain]]" can also work well. If a Deck focuses on one strategy and it holds no real critical cards for it work, like a burn deck perhaps, then a lot of cards can be helpful for more 'ammo'.

Rulings from [[Konami]] states that no cards can be placed below the line of your main deck, also you cannot turn it sideways and so on. If you are confused on how your Main Deck should be placed, then look at a playmat from structure decks to see how you should place your cards.
+
When a [[Duel]] begins, the Main Deck is placed [[face-down]] in the [[Deck Zone]] of the [[field]]. All cards in the Main Deck must remain face-down during the Duel (unless a card [[effect]] like "[[Convulsion of Nature]]" says otherwise). During a Duel, neither player may view the contents of either player's Deck unless a card effect allows them to, after which the Deck must be [[shuffle]]d. Even if a card in the Deck is [[face-up]], it cannot be [[look]]ed at by either player unless it is on top of the Deck, in which case it is [[public knowledge]].

A Main Deck in the anime

The Main Deck (Japanese: メインのデッキ Mein no Dekki), usually simply referred to as the Deck (デッキ[note 1] Dekki), is a pile of cards that a Duelist can draw from during play. Each Duelist uses his or her own Main Deck in a Duel.

When constructing a Deck, Monster, Spell, and Trap Cards are placed in the Main Deck. Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, and Link Monsters are placed in the Extra Deck. If a player uses official Monster Token, Counter, or Field Center cards, these must be stored separately as well.

When a Duel begins, the Main Deck is placed face-down in the Deck Zone of the field. All cards in the Main Deck must remain face-down during the Duel (unless a card effect like "Convulsion of Nature" says otherwise). During a Duel, neither player may view the contents of either player's Deck unless a card effect allows them to, after which the Deck must be shuffled. Even if a card in the Deck is face-up, it cannot be looked at by either player unless it is on top of the Deck, in which case it is public knowledge.
