How to unlock the Master of Spells & Traps achievement in Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel - Definitive Guide
This achievement doesn't really require any specific deck and will unlock indirectly from simply playing ranked duels. I'd personally recommend the "Ancient Warriors" deck as it usually activates 2-5 spells in a turn and wins quickly.
Additional tips: If your primary goal with Master Duel is to get the achievements, then I'd recommend the following tips:
- Invest your gems in decks that specifically aid to the completion of achievements
- Purchase the duel pass with 600 gems to obtain SR/UR crafting materials
- Do NOT surrender in a duel where you have made progress to an achievement. Stats are added up AFTER the duel has been completed, not during.
- Prioritise getting the achievements BEFORE reaching platinum rank. They become very difficult in higher ranks due to how the game is
- Focus crafting generic staples such as Ash Blossom, Maxx "C", and Pot of Extravagance early as they can be applied to any deck to improve their performance

I'm going to copy and paste my own solution for 100,000 effect damage because a lot of the cards I used would be relevant to this achievement as well.
QUICK NOTE: Do not surrender your duels, progress may not go up at all or may not track properly until the next time you have an official ending to your duel.
Anyway, here is the layout for my Phil Swift deck:
(I also tried to remain cost-effective, meaning I stayed away from using too many SR or UR cards. This way pretty much anyone can make this deck without needing to grind thousands of gems.
This also isn't the "best solution" it just has a ton of cards that will make you progress. You can feel free to swap out any cards you like, or even leave a comment of what you'd change.
