This collection of card artwork replacement is an attempt at incorporating many duelists into cards and to fight alongside their monsters...for added immersion. I tried my best to find artwork for cards that would look decent and almost official so as not to have cards that break the immersion. I also just didn't want to use scenes or character art from anime episodes, because it wouldn't fit in (dated animation and cgi) and Konami would probably be extremely angry as any company.

Initially I was going to only make a handful of replacements, but didn't just want to release a couple of duelists. So I went ahead and decided to make the mile since there are alot of characters to go around. I didn't cover Zexal, Vrains, or Sevens because I'll admit it I'm beat and I think these are quite enough replacements now. I would have done so if the process wasn't so painful, searching for quality art isn't easy and specific art at that like duelists with their monsters. With that I've made more than a mile at this point with the number of edits and there's a duelist for everybody here.

There wasn't alot of artwork to be found for older seasons like up to 5D's and my best guess is the hardware and software wasn't just there yet. My goal was to make each character have 4 cameos in 4 different cards, but simply for many that wasn't an option. Though in the end it is good that many characters have some kind of presence ingame and will now make certain duels feel homey. I primarily found artwork for ARC-V's characters and utilized many of the fan creations. Some artworks seamlessly fit in while others had to be cropped and some I had to get a bit creative. Also sorry if any watermarks got cut out in the process, except for Mai's though, it simply had to go.

Now with a mod of this size the whole backing up thing is not happening unless you backup the entire card 0000 folder and make sure to pay tribute to any of the artwork you like if you can, to the creators.

Install by replacing the file(s) and backup the original(s) as usual.

Copy all or just the card(s) you want in folder:

steam\steamapps\common\Yu-Gi-Oh!  Master Duel\LocalData\(select your folder)\0000
