The '''Extra Deck''' (Japanese: エクストラデッキ ''Ekusutora Dekki'', abbreviated {{Ruby|ＥＸ|エクストラ}}デッキ ''Ekusutora Dekki'', エクストラデッキ in [[card text]] since before ''[[Code of the Duelist]]''), formerly known as the '''Fusion Deck''' ({{Ruby|融|ゆう}}{{Ruby|合|ごう}}デッキ ''Yūgō Dekki''), is a Deck where [[Fusion Monster|Fusion]], [[Synchro Monster|Synchro]], [[Xyz Monster|Xyz]], and [[Link Monster]]s (as well as [[Pendulum Monster]]s that would otherwise have been sent from the [[field]] to the [[Graveyard]]) are stored during a [[Duel]].
The Extra Deck is separate from the [[Main Deck]] and is placed face-down in the [[Extra Deck Zone]]. Like the Main Deck, the number of cards in the Extra Deck is [[public knowledge]]. Unlike the Main Deck, the player can look through their own Extra Deck at any time. The face-down contents of the Extra Deck are not public knowledge, so the opponent cannot look through face-down cards in the Extra Deck; however, the face-up cards in the Extra Deck are public knowledge, so either player may look through them at any time.<ref>{{cite book |author=Konami |title=Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game - Perfect Rulebook 2015 |url=https://ygorganization.com/perfectrulebook/ |page=43}}</ref> It is not necessary to [[shuffle]] the Extra Deck, even when a card specifies that the card is shuffled into the Extra Deck.
If a Fusion Monster, Synchro Monster, Xyz Monster, or Link Monster would be [[return]]ed to the [[hand]] or [[Main Deck]], it is instead returned to the Extra Deck (face-down), since Fusion Monsters, Synchro Monsters, Xyz Monsters, and Link Monsters cannot exist in the hand or the Main Deck.
==Master Rule 4==
* It is also not clear at all times of the series if the Extra Deck exists in those Duels (such as early games shown just fuse monsters, without ever apparently pulling the Fusion Monster card from anywhere).
* It is also not clear at all times where the Extra Deck is kept.
** In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'', Fusion Monster Cards are not seen to be played from anywhere, but the Fusion Monster Card is present on the Duel Disk after it is Summoned. [[Zane Truesdale]]'s Fusion Extra Deck is shown to be mixed in with his Main Deck; on one occasion, he searches his Main Deck for "[[Chimeratech Overdragon (anime)|Chimeratech Overdragon]]" when [[Fusion Summon]]ing it.<ref name=ep"65">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! GX|65|ref}}</ref>
** In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'', [[Akiza Izinski]] can clearly be seen to have an [[Extra Deck Zone]] built into her Duel Disk. [[Yusei Fudo]] and [[Jack Atlas]]'s Extra Decks are stored with their [[Main Deck]]s; both are shown add "[[Stardust Dragon (anime)|Stardust Dragon]]" to their Main Decks before a Duel.<ref name="ep4">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|4|ref}}</ref><ref name=ep"23">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|23|ref}}</ref>
** In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL]]'', the Extra Deck is stored in a box on the Duelist's belt.
