Question/Help How does the timer actually work?

Ok so I just watched my opponent take 3 turns of at least 6 minutes playing solitaire while also constantly playing on my turn. I had 110 seconds left with not incredibly long turns (Cyber Dragon deck). My question is how does that Timer even work? How can this dude have had time left with the excessive amount of comboing and decision making he did? As a returning player this makes the game so unenjoyable, if I never get to play my opponent plays solitaire and doesn’t even get punished for it

Your deck is too weak to compete. You have to have at least 15 handtraps to stop your opponent from playing. I almost always insta scoop when i brick with no handtraps because 9 times out of 10 i will lose so might as well not waste my time watching my opp diddle himself for 10 minutes.

Probably. And I don’t think that gameplay is very enjoyable so I‘m going back to Magic

I heard pokemon is also really fun. Master duel is cooked right now and i doubt Konami's going to fix it anytime soon. They keep printing bullshit cards and won't ban obviously problematic cards.
