We've got a new coach!

For all of our Deck Doctor patrons out there, it's likely you've gotten an innovative strategy from our resident Deck Doctor, Clifton. We figured it a no-brainer to also give you guys a chance to have him as a coach!

Clifton Land is now available for coaching over at our Patreon www.patreon.com/duelistacademy

Price updates coming August 1st!

Due to an overwhelming amount of support from the community we have decided to raise our coaching prices. Several of our coaches are completely full of students or have had a hard time finding space within their days to accommodate new students.

With the announcement of Master Duel and the reopening of Official Sanctioned Play, we anticipate an influx of students and want to be able to take on as many customers as possible. With the increasing demand for a coaching service we want to remain the number one choice for Yu-Gi-Oh! These price changes will not impact any current supporters of Duelist Academy as long as they maintain their current subscription. If you are a current student and were thinking about upgrading to a higher tier, now is the time to do so!

The following prices will be reflected on August 1st!

Ra Yellow: $80 a month
Obelisk Blue: $120 a month
Pro League: $200 a month

18/07/2021

The gang is trying something new with content this month and has uploaded their raw testing sessions in preparation for the Remote Duel YCS! Watch to see our thought process in deck building and how we go about testing for events like this!
