The Main Deck (Japanese: メインのデッキ Mein no Dekki), usually simply referred to as the Deck (デッキ Dekki), is a pile of cards that a Duelist can draw from. Each Duelist uses their own Main Deck in a Duel.
Details[]
When constructing a Deck, Monster, Spell and Trap Cards are placed in the Main Deck. Fusion, Synchro, Xyz and Link Monsters are placed in the Extra Deck. If a player uses official Monster Token or Counter cards, these are to be stored in a separate location as well.
When a Duel begins, the Main Deck is placed face-down in the Deck Zone of the field. All cards in the Main Deck must remain face-down during the Duel, and neither player may view the contents of either player's Deck unless a card effect allows them to, after which the Deck must be shuffled.
Even if a card in the Deck is face-up, it cannot be looked at by either player unless it is on top of the Deck, in which case it is public knowledge.
