Duelist's Advance Set Guide

Overview

Duelist's Advance has 48 cards, and every one of them is a monster. There are no Spells or Traps. The cards break down into 20 Commons, 13 Super Rares, 9 Ultra Rares and 6 Secret Rares, plus 15 Starlight Rares, one for every Ultra and Secret Rare.

All 48 cards are new. Each one was first released in this set on July 3, 2025.

The monsters cover most summoning types: 8 Fusion Monsters, 7 Xyz Monsters, 4 Synchro Monsters, a Ritual Monster and a Pendulum Monster sit beside the main deck Effect Monsters. The biggest themes are Artmage, Lunalight, a run of ten Psychic monsters, and the Zubaba, Gagaga, Gogogo and Dododo monsters with the Xyz Monsters that use them.

Cards and rarities

Duelist's Advance has 48 set codes, each starting DUAD-EN and printed under the artwork on the right. Where a card comes at more than one rarity, every version shares its code, so the table counts set codes at each rarity and a code printed at two rarities is counted twice.

The 15 Ultra and Secret Rares count again in the Starlight Rare row, which is why the rows add up to 63 printings for 48 set codes. Set completion in TurnZero HQ counts the distinct set codes you own against the set's total, so a card printed at two rarities counts once, with an every-rarity count beside it for collectors chasing each version.

Themes

Artmage gets the most cards in Duelist's Advance, with Medius the Pure and Nerva the Power Patron of Creation built to work with it. Lunalight, the Psychic monsters and the Zubaba, Gagaga, Gogogo and Dododo monsters get smaller groups.

Medius the Pure

DUAD-EN008

When Normal or Special Summoned, it adds to your hand or Special Summons a Power Patron monster from your Deck. From the GY, it can Special Summon itself by shuffling a monster from your hand or field into the Deck.

Artmage Diactorus

DUAD-EN032

A Fusion of Medius the Pure and an Artmage monster. With 3 or more different Monster Types on your field, it negates and destroys a card or effect your opponent activates on the field (Quick Effect).

Lunalight Gold Leo

DUAD-EN005

When Normal or Special Summoned, it adds another Lunalight monster from your Deck to your hand, then you discard 1 card. While it is on the field, it returns a Lunalight monster sent to your GY to your hand.

Serene Psychic Girl

DUAD-EN013

A Tuner that, when Normal or Special Summoned, banishes a card from your hand to Special Summon a Level 4 or lower Psychic monster from your Deck. For the rest of the turn you can only Special Summon Psychic monsters from the Extra Deck.

Dodododo Warrior

DUAD-EN004

Send a Dododo monster from your Deck to the GY to Special Summon it from your hand as a Level 4 with 1800 ATK. When it is detached to activate an Xyz Monster's effect, it adds a Zubaba monster from your Deck to your hand.

Gagagaga Girl

DUAD-EN043

A Rank 4 Xyz Monster. With a Zubaba, Gagaga, Gogogo or Dododo card as material, it detaches 1 material to add a Gagaga, Onomat or Xyz card from your Deck to your hand.

Cards worth knowing

Several of the new monsters support older cards or work outside the set's main themes.

Secreterion Dragon

DUAD-EN037

A Fusion of a Dragon and a Spellcaster. While you control it, your opponent cannot activate the effects of their Special Summoned Dragon or Spellcaster monsters. It loses 100 ATK for each of your banished cards.

When Normal or Special Summoned, show 3 Blue-Eyes White Dragon to Special Summon one from your hand, Deck or GY. From the GY, it searches a Blue-Eyes monster when you Special Summon Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

Eidos the Underworld Monarch

DUAD-EN017

When Normal or Special Summoned, it adds a Monarch Spell/Trap or a monster with 2800 ATK and 1000 DEF from your Deck or GY. It returns to your hand or the field when you Tribute Summon a monster with 2400 or more ATK and 1000 DEF.

Vanquish Soul Hollie Sue

Reveal an EARTH and a DARK monster in your hand to take control of your opponent's lowest-ATK monster until the End Phase, or a FIRE and a DARK monster to Special Summon a non-Psychic Vanquish Soul monster from your Deck. Limited.

The chase card: Medius the Pure

Medius the Pure

DUAD-EN008

Rarity Starlight Rare

Set code DUAD-EN008

1st Edition market price, September 30, 2026 $109.63

The Starlight Rare Medius the Pure is Duelist's Advance's chase card. At $109.63 on September 30, 2026 it was the most valuable printing in the set.

It leads by a wide margin. The next most valuable printing, the Starlight Rare Artmage Diactorus, was $55.54, about half as much, and Artmage Diactorus is a Fusion Monster that names Medius the Pure as a material.

Medius the Pure comes at two rarities in the set, and the gap between them is large. The Ultra Rare was $2.10, under 2 percent of the Starlight Rare's price.

Playing it

Vanquish Soul Hollie Sue is the only Duelist's Advance card on the Forbidden & Limited List as of October 1, 2026. It is Limited, so a deck can run one copy.

Several Artmage cards check how many different Monster Types you control. Artmage Finmel, Artmage Graflare and Artmage Diactorus each get a Quick Effect when you have 3 or more different Types on your field, so an Artmage deck mixes Types on purpose.

With no Spells or Traps in the set, the Artmage and Lunalight monsters here lean on cards from other sets. Artmage Graflare Sets an Artmage Spell from your Deck, and Lunalight Liger Dancer needs Lunalight Leo Dancer as a material, and neither of those cards is in Duelist's Advance.
