Studying the Origins of the Karakuri

"Karakuri" are characterized by their mechanical movements, such as their ability to change formations. Synchro Summoning accelerates their movements even further.

It's time for the fierce "Karakuri" to head into battle!

Studying the Origins of the Karakuri is a Solo Mode Gate in Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel, and focuses on the Karakuri archetype.

Like most Gates in Solo Mode, each Duel can be played with either the player's own Deck or a provided Loaner Deck fitting the theme of the Gate, with separate rewards for each. Completing this gate for the first time unlocks the "Traditions of Trickery" Secret Pack for 24 hours.
