[past skiff]

And it comes out tomorrow?

[dapper grotto]

Mmmhmm.

Not sure how good they are though, never played them before...

[quick axle]

Correction. Levianeer was a [Mistake].

[vivid wave]

Mistake

Effect

Neither player can add cards from their Deck to their hand except by drawing them.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[dapper grotto]

[sleek garnet]

May they really had to put launcher to 1

Konami hates fun

[past skiff]

I know irl they weren’t horrible actually they was the number 1 pendulum deck before the wierd vaylentz came out

[quick axle]

They really didn't like that hand loop in the slightest.

[sleek garnet]

I mean

They could put any other card to 1 and the loop would stop

Limit idk, necromancer

Not the deck's main playmaker

Wait

I decided what to build now

Gandora

[past skiff]

There not the dream ones but what should I get with my ur and sr tickets

[dapper grotto]

I usually just want staples out of my Dream tickets.

[sleek garnet]

Odd eyes tho

[dapper grotto]

Like Book of Moon.

Or Mystical Space Typhoon.

[sleek garnet]

Same, i already got everything i need tho

[sleek garnet]

Doesn't really matter

Get what looks cool to you

[past skiff]

Is phantom knights going to get hit?

[weak bough]

when does the timelord box come out

[sleek garnet]

Tomorrow

[sleek garnet]

Probably next month, yes

[weak bough]

nice

[past skiff]

Horribly or will it be like be like Mekk-knights

[sleek garnet]

Who knows

[past skiff]

Ok then it is decided I’m getting with the sr’s then

Krystal dragon and the normal pendulum monster

[celest cairn]

I wish zaphion being sent to the graveyard from being an xyz material counted towards its effect

[dapper grotto]

I dunno, Zaphion used as Xyz material sounds impractical anyways.

I can't imagine how Timelords and Trains would work.

xd

[celest cairn]

It does

It just does

If ur running celestial transformation in ur deck, which u should be if ur running a Timelord deck

Then trains are always a viable option

Just in case

At least that’s what I use in the extra deck of my irl timelord deck

[peak mesa]

Wtf is that damage

[silk hatch]

Sadly thats weak damage

[peak mesa]

Also why didn't you invest on shooting star dragon

Shootings star road too

[silk hatch]

i was farming max dmg

[peak mesa]

You literally get 3 free attack because of the skill

[peak mesa]

Then do it with shooting star dragon

But I guess mf is gonna be sent to the future so far with that damage

[peak mesa]

Dang how the fuck we gonna bring out quasar it's a sitting duck too if I negated an effect

Well I guess new skills comes out

[quick axle]

Yusei's new skil.

[peak mesa]

What skill

[quick axle]

https://www.duellinksmeta.com/skills/A Bond Illuminates the Future

[sleek garnet]

Ngl

[peak mesa]

Crap you need 7 level 2 lower monsters

[sleek garnet]

Wish konami would just update old skills instead of making new ones each wave of support, a slight tweak to shooting star road would've already done the trick

[peak mesa]

Also is life stream dragon a tuner?

[sleek garnet]

Yes

[peak mesa]

Well atleast they updated shooting star road

With the adding of the tuner to the deck

[sleek garnet]

Btw

I do find it pretty funny that the skill sets the monsters it brings out

[peak mesa]

Ye

[sleek garnet]

So that you get the summoning chants when flipping them face up

[peak mesa]

But also I think blazar dragon is better than quasar

Also when will shooting majestic star dragon too

[sleek garnet]

No shit sherlock

[peak mesa]

It's literally better and use less materials

[sleek garnet]

The card made years after the original is better

[peak mesa]

Actually would be cool to have the skill be instead

Having a level 6 tuner synchro and then summoning 3 of the signer dragons but they are level 2

[sleek garnet]

You do realize the entire point of the skill is being an anime reference

Right?

[silk hatch]

Im about to fucking scream my fucking head off

I LOVE BRICKING ON 10+ WIN STREAKS WHEN I FIGHT SWEATY DARK MAGICIANS

[unkempt bear]

New shooting quasar boz

[sleek garnet]

Wydm sweaty

Dm is not even good lmao

[drowsy holly]

I need more burn cards for Timelords lol

nor sweaty like this DM kek

[drowsy holly]

I was today years old when I found out the otk power meklords can have in duel links.

[drowsy holly]

https://duellinks.konami.net/att/01ff74459e74c865c51d8709737c667b02b0aeca4f

Yeah this is a silly combo

[past skiff]

So should I go for solphacords or go for mekk-knights I’m still confused on which one I got 4,500 gems to work with

[quick axle]

Wait and see.

The main issue is that gems are scarce, and you may not get what you want with the supply of gems you get.

[past skiff]

Yeah just it sucks right now because I’m trying to get my progress where it was kinda quick or just near where I was I know I can’t get some characters but I know the leveling will be kinda easy

[sleek garnet]

Gaming

[dapper grotto]

Hecc.

Maybe I should start playing Solfachords.

[celest cairn]

Oh did the box come out

[past skiff]

I really want to dump my gems into this box so bad but I know once I do I will regret it because I agree with lightbox on the gems part

[dapper grotto]

It's always to wait and see tourney results if you're smart with gems.

I just wanted to spend money right now, so Idrc.

[sleek garnet]

I just bought the one for one bundle because i have like, 6 decks that appreciate it

[drowsy holly]

I really just want Scarlight

But didn't get it or Tyrant 😔

[quick axle]

[fallen kestrel]

Same

[drowsy holly]

I want one of the normal rarity timelords too but nope 😔

[dapper grotto]

Thankfully, I got the Scarlight and Tyrant on my first 10 gem packs. Now to wait and see the tourney results to see if I should dig further.

[fiery pilot]

Are Timelords good in this game?

[sleek garnet]

No

They fold to non destruction removal and have little to no backup plan

[robust void]

so what's the best character for solfachord

[weak bough]

i'm assuming sephylon is the best target for infinite light

[drowsy holly]

[Infinite light]

[vivid wave]

Infinite Light

Effect

Activate this card by sending 1 face-up "Infinite Machine" from your Spell & Trap Zone to the GY. This face-up card cannot be destroyed by your opponent's card effects. Neither player can target "Timelord" monsters you control with card effects, or return "Timelord" monsters from the field to the Deck. Once per turn, if you control no monsters: You can Special Summon up to 1 "Timelord" monster each from your hand, Deck, and GY, with different names, ignoring their Summoning conditions.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[drowsy holly]

Actually I find Sephlyon the worst time lord.

[robust void]

[sephylon]

[vivid wave]

Sephylon, the Ultimate Timelord

Level: 10
[ Fairy / Effect ]

ATK 4000 / DEF 4000

Effect

Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must be Special Summoned (from your hand) by having 10 or more monsters in your GY. Once per turn: You can Special Summon 1 Level 8 or higher Fairy monster from your hand or GY, but its effects are negated, also its ATK becomes 4000.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[robust void]

yeah this sucks unless you can definitely otk

[drowsy holly]

You want Zaphion (?) And Meteion for board clearing, with Michion and Sandion finishing them off.

[weak bough]

the thing is they don't go back to the deck during the standby phase so i don't know how to get others out

since most of their effects summon them only if you control no monsters

[sandaion]

[vivid wave]

Sandaion, the Timelord

Level: 10
[ Fairy / Effect ]

ATK 4000 / DEF 4000

Effect

Cannot be Special Summoned from the Deck. You can only control 1 "Sandaion, the Timelord". If only your opponent controls a monster, you can Normal Summon this card without Tributing. Cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects. Neither player takes battle damage from attacks involving this card. At the end of the Battle Phase, if this card battled: Inflict 2000 damage to your opponent. Once per turn, during your Standby Phase: Shuffle this card into the Deck.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[drowsy holly]

With Infinite Light

Last four words in particular lol

Or well wait

Uh the next one

The three circle one

Or damn it I always get them confused.

Infinite Light can get you 3 different timelords, Infinite Machine can get you two at once.

[quick axle]

[drowsy holly]

@silk flint hey nerd here's your chance to shine

[silk flint]

Yo what's up?

We talking about Solfachords?

[past skiff]

So I got 2 dream UR tickets what should I get or should I wait to see what’s meta

[carmine ivy]

Enjoy the low effort thumbnails

Toons vs Stall/Burn didn't go well. Obviously. It's what I get for playing my favourite deck in ranked lmao

[sleek garnet]

@full spade

[full spade]

@carmine ivy self promotion is not allowed

[carmine ivy]

Oh whoops! Sorry! I didn't mean that!

Won't do it again

[sleek garnet]

Thinking of just going into the new box to get 1 quasar out of the new box to play synchrons

That's it

[dapper grotto]

I managed to KoG before reset. ❤️

[past skiff]

So I hate to put this again but I really like an answer what should I get with 2 dream tickets or wait to see what’s meta

[sleek garnet]

Wait

If anything, get staples

Since they are mostly stuck in bad boxes you wouldn't want to open

[past skiff]

What staples?

And I thought about getting some synchron stuff since I can play the event now

[sleek garnet]

Idr if dream tickets have link revolution as an available box, but

Book of moon, Mst, Forbidden Lance, and Warning for 100% generic URs

Then there's stuff like generic extra deck monsters

Then more deck specific stuff

[past skiff]

Decode talker?

DRNM?

Are they good or should I pick something else

[sleek garnet]

Tcg player bait

[sleek garnet]

Bad outside of code talker

[past skiff]

Would Mekk-knight cards be a bad choice?

[sleek garnet]

Can you even get them from the tickets?

[past skiff]

Not all just yellow Star that why I asked

And I thought people played cosmic instead of mst

[sleek garnet]

Yellow star is not a box card

You can just use a non dream ticket to get that

[sleek garnet]

Cosmic is limited to 3, mst isn't

[past skiff]

It isn’t on my end?

Or is it fixing to go to 3

[sleek garnet]

Oh wait

Nvm i forgot they took it out in feb

[past skiff]

So should I go for 2 cosmic?

[sleek garnet]

I'd take mst anyway

The lp cost matters when you can't trigger skills and everything can otk you super easily at 3k lp

And the banishing part of the card doesn't really come up

[past skiff]

Ah ok so I should get 2 mst then

[sleek garnet]

I'd say so

[past skiff]

I seen the done gizmek okami should I get that I like it in the regular tcg but is it good in this game

[sleek garnet]

Okami is bad both in the tcg and in dl

Don't bother

[past skiff]

Ok

I got two mst

Is enemy controller good?

[sleek garnet]

It's ok early on when you don't have many cards

Kinda sucks now that it's limited to 1 tho

[loud fulcrum]

[past skiff]

So it fine skipping the open 5 packs for the bingo mission then

[sleek garnet]

Yea

You can get econ with tickets anyway

[fiery pilot]

I know this deck is trash but how to improve it?

[fiery pilot]

Thanks mate

[sleek garnet]

Do notice

Your entire deck will collapse if your opponenr activates a single disruption

On either player's turn

[peak mesa]

Bro 2 timelord players

I lost btw

This shit was stupid lmfao

[peak mesa]

If you have extra junk synchron, tuning, junk converter, add them

Also your deck looks like a one disruption it's a lost

[peak mesa]

Lucky bastard

[carmine ivy]

"So that's the strategy you want to use against me" 😂

[peak mesa]

Ye lmao

Both of just halving our lp until we are lucky to get sandion

But I stupidly did it first

Am so fucking separate it was a long match

Changing blows

[carmine ivy]

Did you have Gustav or Triloji? I've ended a few games using those with Forbidden Chalice, but it's unreliable because I'm hoping for a hard draw lol

[peak mesa]

What?

I don't think I have them yet

I'm broke af

[carmine ivy]

Ah. I don't remember when I got them but I saw they both relied on Lv 10s

Triloji has 4000 atk and def and requires 3x lv 10 monsters to fusion summon. Gustav only needs 2x lv 10s to XYZ summ. , but you'd need Celestial Transformation to special summ. a second Timelord

[peak mesa]

I got him recently

So idk those cards yet and I don't have time maiden

Man I want quasar dragon so badly

[carmine ivy]

There are a lot of cards I want too but am also broke :)

https://duellinks.konami.net/att/06023bd13ea9a85d96ce7c0299d72d2dcaea8f9dc1

The plot twist tho.

[past skiff]

So just so I could do the event and so I could have a decent deck for leveling I bought one of the older boxes with some of my gems I may actually reach the goal to unlock the character now

[carmine ivy]

Ah, you can share replays as long as it's a direct link? I went through the trouble of uploading mine to YT so they wouldn't expire, but it counted as self-promotion

I'll have to remember that for next time

[past skiff]

So I hated to waste 500 gems but I guess it paying off because I just started the event yesterday and almost got enough to unlock the character

[past skiff]

Got him

Is the deck good that he uses?

[weak bough]

fun? yes. good? at low ranks probably

[past skiff]

Ok so just level him up for for just the tickets then

[robust void]

weird solfachord formal isn't in the game since it sucks anyway

scale not being in cuz you can't have 7 names is pretty funny

[past skiff]

When will the tournaments end so I can see what deck is good

Because I’m stuck on the missions now

[steel scroll]

how safe is noids to build?

[dapper grotto]

Hmm...it's 50/50. They got a light hit from last KC Cup, but I can see them getting hit further.

But right now, the decks to hit are PK and Mekk-Knights imo.

[steel scroll]

Thanks

[peak mesa]

Man I want quasar dragon I already have the skill

[past skiff]

I really want to use my gems to get a deck for the kc turnament but I know I would regret it after

[weak bough]

why do effects sometimes just not trigger

i destroyed a monster by battle using shark drake but nothing happened

[number 32]

[vivid wave]

Number 32: Shark Drake

Rank: 4
[ Sea Serpent / Xyz / Effect ]

ATK 2800 / DEF 2100

Effect

3 Level 4 monsters
Once per turn, when this attacking card destroys an opponent's monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; Special Summon the destroyed monster to your opponent's side of the field in face-up Attack Position, also it loses 1000 ATK, and if you do Summon this way, this card can make a second attack during this Battle Phase.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[quick axle]

I have a question: What monster did you destroy?

[weak bough]

[bowganian]

[vivid wave]

Bowganian

Level: 3
[ Machine / Effect ]

ATK 1300 / DEF 1000

Effect

Once per turn, during your Standby Phase: Inflict 600 damage to your opponent.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[quick axle]

Hmm... After you destroyed it, you should have gotten a trigger.

[weak bough]

i got nothing, but the turn after when i destroyed something i did

[quick axle]

How are your settings for chains?

Did you turn them off?

[weak bough]

where would i find that

[quick axle]

There should be an icon that toggles into Auto / Off / On.

[weak bough]

it's turned on but for some reason self chain is off

so i can only chain to opponents effects

but that asks the question why was i able to trigger the effect the turn after?

[quick axle]

Hmmm... Okay, was there something else that would stop you from summoning anything but Water monsters?

What was on the field when it happened?

Did you save the replay?

[weak bough]

i didn't no

the only other cards were the opponent had a normal monster and i had umi

[quick axle]

Hmm... Anything else of note?

[dapper grotto]

Im having a bit of fun with Mekk Knight Resonators, though of course, it has its brick or intteruption moments. It's explosive enough with the Mekk Knight engine as Synchro materials that I can't help but enjoy using it.

[robust void]

auto duel is soooo bad with pendulum decks damn

it's so bad at setting up pend summons

normals fancia, places a pend they can't summon with scales in hand, passes and gets otk'd

[weak bough]

using shark and his skill that adds number 32 to his extra deck

"monarch of the deep sea: number 32"

[brisk pawn]

Was it In defense

If it was the effect doesn’t apply

If it’s in atk then it applies

[weak bough]

oh that might be it

[past skiff]

Ok so I know save the gems but if I buy one of the bundles with gems would 17 packs will get me a decent solfachord deck?

[sleek garnet]

No

[quick axle]

That sounds like copium.

And what Choccy said: No.

[sleek garnet]

If you're lucky you can get one of the sr the deck needs 3 of

[past skiff]

Ok

[quick axle]

If you get lucky, that is.

[past skiff]

I thought about getting this one that why I asked but I rather wait on a new box or so what’s meta before getting it

[fallow pendant]

Hey guys

[past skiff]

So I need to level up so I can get more gems but the 300 I spent didn’t totally go to waste but now I’m totally stuck and need an deck so I thought of two options first one is buy a few selections packs or ………(yeah I need help on second option lol)

[fossil portal]

I got a pc today I was wondering how I link my duel links account to it for when I'm at my house

[fallen kestrel]

Building a deck is a lot harder than just buying some packs from a selection box

[past skiff]

Yeah i know but would buying a few get me close enough where I’m not loosing to the ai’s to much

[small fern]

why is Mirror Force limit-1 list while Drowning Mirror Force goes completely free

[weak bough]

drowning needs a direct attack while mirror force is anything

[small fern]

fair

[past skiff]

So I still trying to figure out what I should do so I can actually do stuff on duel links would 3 packs of an selection box get me enough to build an decent deck?

[weak bough]

i need a duel assessment of 4000 in zexal to get to the next stage and i just cannot do it

[past skiff]

So I figured spend about a thousand gems getting stuff from the selection thing then save the other 6,000-5,000 gems to see what’s meta

[orchid ravine]

Deck out automaticly gives 2100 points, and the result item gives 1000.

So try building a strong enought deck to stall long enough for a deck out

With extra deck usage

[weak bough]

what about the last 900

[brisk pawn]

How do you summon quasar

[orchid ravine]

Spell/trap usage and special summoning.
Also monster destruction

That should about give 4000 points

[weak bough]

alright thanks

[weak bough]

got it 👍

[celest cairn]

It is amazing how many people refuse to read card effects

Do they not find a level 10 monster with zero attack in attack mode not at all suspicious

Especially a turn after it just attacked and halved their fucking life points?

[sleek garnet]

Yubel moment

[dapper grotto]

Is it in the low ranks?

[orchid ravine]

You completed the mission?

[weak bough]

i did

with no damage, deck out, xyz summon, and the booster

[orchid ravine]

Nice.
What deck did you use?

[weak bough]

shark's water deck

summoned out shark drake and nothing could touch it

[orchid ravine]

Thats cool

[hazy crow]

That level of disrespect when your opponent can OTK you but instead choose to activate thousands of effect before Battle Phase.

Then right before Battle Phase, you surrender

do we have [Transmigration Prophecy] in DL? That would hurt Time lords

[vivid wave]

The Transmigration Prophecy

Effect

Target 2 cards in the GY(s); shuffle those targets into the Deck(s).

18 win streak pk player kekw

[drowsy holly]

You know, until I got hit with it somehow it didn't even occur to me that T.Gs can just shit out Quasar with Antinomys skill.

I also think Odion might be the best person to use Timelords with.

[sonic nimbus]

yeah TG IRL used to be able to easily make Quasar right

[fallen kestrel]

Yeah, people bow play regular odion trap decks but chuck in some of the good lords like sandaion and michion or however u spell them

[indigo grail]

I imagine Odion would be for burn

Given Chain Reaction

[drowsy holly]

mmhmm

Michion is also dumb with it.

Also ayyyy got Scarlight and Red Reign

Now I just need to go back and get red sprinters >:3

[drowsy holly]

Okay it's a pain in the ass, but getting Infinite Light out is just silly.

[indigo grail]

Also as much aa no one sane gives a damn about Sephylon

Infinite Light is pretty much the best way he’s being summoned

In Timelords anyways

[drowsy holly]

mmhmm

But I mean I'd rather just have 3 untargetable timelords on the field.

Like Sadion, Michion, and another for utility.

[fallen kestrel]

I like just started making a resonator deck

Have one crimson one red and one call at the moment

[drowsy holly]

I need another red resonator, but I'm excited to loop red reign with red nova or tyrant >:3

[fallen kestrel]

I plan on getting those later

Am taking advantage of current discount on old packs

Sprinter and red resonator should be easier to get at the moment

[indigo grail]

Oh shit, yeah! Sadion’s quality skyrockets with 4k

Unless they changed it or something?

[drowsy holly]

Pretty sure Sadion already has 4k atk, he only does 1k burn.

But Michion is still wild.

[fallen kestrel]

Michion just slices ur lp in half

[peak mesa]

Timelord moment

And you know now I know why cosmic cyclone I needed

Can banish infinite machine

[drowsy holly]

Oh another weird deck that I found works in duel links?

Meklord otk of all things with astro dragon.

[fallen kestrel]

Montage dragon

[drowsy holly]

Nope Astro Dragon

There is some ever so slight optimization I could do, but really it works way better than it should.

[fallen kestrel]

Nah I just had the thought of montage dragon in timelord otk

Or timelord burn or whatever its called

[drowsy holly]

Like if I had another infinity core I'd drop Mekanikle

So uh fun fact?

[fallen kestrel]

I am on a 7 win streak in Kc cup so far

[drowsy holly]

You can target Astro Dragon with Heavy Armored Train Ironwolf

Meaning if you're opponent has a monster with 1000 atk or more in their extra deck you just direct attack for 4000.

Oh and your Astro Dragon can't be destroyed by card effects because you very easily set up with Meklord Deflection in grave.

[fallen kestrel]

I did beat a meklord player this morning

D/D/D summons go brrrrr

[drowsy holly]

Oh yeah, like the deck isn't the best but like

It shouldn't work as well as it does.

Obbligato somehow makes it work, you run the other meklord army cards for the names and because they're rank 4s.

[fallen kestrel]

Yeah

[orchid ravine]

I hate having to get odd eyes pendulum dragon

Like, the cards nessicary to unlock a couple characters.

And you can only get it in one box.
That it is the cover of.
WHY

[quick axle]

Because Konami.

[fallen kestrel]

Doesnt yuya have the skill?

[sleek garnet]

Yes

[supple cobalt]

are the voices for duel links not working?

ive been going between timelords, meklord, stardust, and sharks

[past skiff]

I’m really thinking about dumping my gems into a box

[orchid ravine]

Which one?

[past skiff]

The one with Mekk-knights so braver victory

Forgot the name then remembered it at the end lol

[past skiff]

Or future circuit

[dapper grotto]

It has Infernoids as well, so pretty worth imo...but then again, they're both probably gonna get hit after KC Cup.

[past skiff]

Yeah that why I want to wait but I know if I don’t I can’t do my level up missions because I only spent 1,150 gems so far and that took my no where

I’m playing right now fire machine jank lol

[past skiff]

What box has salamangrat heatleo?

[past skiff]

So I have to get salamangrat heatleo how good is the decks or deck the box has?

[dapper grotto]

Heatleo is from a different box called Link Revolution. Not really sure if it's worth to get Salads right now, there's also Warning point in that box but...

But ye, I wouldn't recommend Salads tbh.

Well...unless you buy the Code Talker stuff too

https://www.duellinksmeta.com/tier-list/deck-types/Salamangreat

It's currently Tier 3, and honestly, I doubt they'll get hit further.

[past skiff]

I found out about the skill to summon it

I thought it was only in a box

[weak bough]

kinda sucks that some cards are only available in events or using tickets

[past skiff]

I really want to dump my gems into that box lol the more I look at it the more I want to

[supple cobalt]

now i remember why i stopped playing duel links
People summoning more than 3 monsters on their first turn
trap cards removing all my monster's for one turn and ending my life
monster effects in the graveyard screwing me over
people summon 2 synchro's and 1 fusion on their first turn
etc., etc.

[dapper grotto]

Welcome to YGO lmao.

[weak bough]

yusei's fun new skill where he gets a 4000 atk monster that can attack twice a turn on turn 3

[celest cairn]

i think i still prefer the 3300 monster that can attack at least 3 times

[pastel lotus]

so do we still only have 3 gx villains? (yubel, takuma saiou, haou)

also what's pendulum's place in the meta right now?

is it niche now?

[sudden rapids]

Supreme kings

What's the command to show cards?

I think its

[Supreme King Z-ARC]

[vivid wave]

Supreme King Z-ARC

Level: 12 | Pendulum Scale: 1
[ Dragon / Fusion / Pendulum / Effect ]

ATK 4000 / DEF 4000

Pendulum Effect

Fusion, Synchro, and Xyz Monsters your opponent controls cannot activate their effects. Once per turn, when a card(s) is added from the Main Deck to your opponent's hand (except during the Draw Phase or the Damage Step): You can destroy that card(s).

Effect

4 Dragon monsters (1 Fusion, 1 Synchro, 1 Xyz, and 1 Pendulum)
Must be Fusion Summoned. If this card is Special Summoned: Destroy all cards your opponent controls. Cannot be destroyed by your opponent's card effects. Your opponent cannot target this card with card effects. When this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle: You can Special Summon 1 "Supreme King Dragon" monster from your Deck or Extra Deck. If this card in the Monster Zone is destroyed by battle or card effect: You can place this card in your Pendulum Zone.

[sudden rapids]

There we go

[pastel lotus]

now my questions getting ignored for sure

pretty sure no one is suppose to pull up card information by bot in a chat channel

[drowsy holly]

You can if it's relevant to what's going on, just don't spam it or pull it up randomly :v

Only reason I'm not answering the question about pendulums is because I don't know.

[pastel lotus]

i am disappointed we still don't have speedroid or wind witches

guess they wanted to get 5d's endgame stuff out of the way before introducing arc-v synchro characters

but i really thought i'd be seeing yugo by now

rip to the other 3 dark signers

[sonic nimbus]

we only just got Shun

[pastel lotus]

too slow imo

but i guess its what happens when you have 6 worlds to balance

not sure if dsod will ever get new character unlocks

i would play the game again if i had a working pc

its tied to a yahoo japan account

i am thinking of intentionally not unlocking vrains world

if i get my old account back

[drowsy holly]

I mean you're only losing out on gems if you do that.

[pastel lotus]

yeah

i have no regrets about that

i want nothing to do with vrains

i didn't use beat fur when they were meta

i mean fur hire

i intentionally avoided using wlc

[drowsy holly]

I mean mate

Nobody is giving you a medal for intentionally avoiding stuff.

Duel Links doesn't give enough gems for it to make sense to ignore an entire world if you want to build decks. You don't have to make character themed decks, but it would be really dumb to just toss out all those gems.

[pastel lotus]

i don't expect to be recognized i am just saying that i am not doing it. idc if you think i am shooting myself in the foot or not.

i just noticed lightning chidori got added to the game

is it being used in harpies or yosenju?

[drowsy holly]

Okay that was really hostile on my part, and I apologize.

[pastel lotus]

statement accepted

is lightning chidori a fairer castel?

they are both wind but castel is obviously more general

lightning chidori at least needs your deck to have some partial attribute devotion to wind

chidori is also interesting for being removal but doesn't send target to graveyard or banished

that means it doesn't give your opponent additional graveyard fodder unless the target was an xyz monster that had unused xyz materials or it was any monsters that had loads of equips on it

which decks spits out 2 winds easily besides harpie and yosenju?

debris dragon might be an interesting enabler for chidori

hero could use lightning chidori if they can field 2 airman

[quick axle]

AFAIK, A Hero Lives isn't in Duel Links.

That would be a way to have 2 Stratos on field.

[pastel lotus]

👀

ok

thank you for shooting down that possibility

[fake hero]

[vivid wave]

Fake Hero

Effect

Special Summon 1 "Elemental HERO" monster from your hand. That monster cannot attack, and returns to the hand during the End Phase.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[pastel lotus]

interestingly airman can search itself

[quick axle]

Fake Hero looks like a winmore to me, and yeah, Stratos can search himself.

[pastel lotus]

do you call every strategy you don't use a winmore?

it felt a bit dismissive to me

or triggered i should say

actually idc your direct reply i just wanted to find decks that could side chidori

[quick axle]

It's not myself being dimissive, I'm just saying how things are, because almost nobody uses it. That's pretty much a -2 on hand

[pastel lotus]

yeah but you search

so technically -3 from hand

[quick axle]

The net result would be a -1.

Because you search with Stratos, which can add a HERO card to the hand.

[pastel lotus]

yes and 3 leave the hand

you don't keep the searched card in hand

idk how you people calculate hand advantage

[quick axle]

Also, Fake HERO doesn't help their consistency. You want to use other cards that help getting their plays faster.

[pastel lotus]

a free non extra deck ss isn't getting their plays faster?

[quick axle]

Basically, you start with 4 cards, using Fake HERO to summon Stratos, that's a -2 on hand advantage, but since Stratos adds a HERO card on hand, that's a +1, therefore, the net result is -1.

[pastel lotus]

but you ss the 1st one and ns the 2nd one

oh wait they both would search

[quick axle]

Exactly. The result if both search would still be a -1.

But you wouldn't summon [Lightning Chidori] on turn 1.

[vivid wave]

Lightning Chidori

Rank: 4
[ Thunder / Xyz / Effect ]

ATK 1900 / DEF 1600

Effect

2 Level 4 WIND monsters
If this card is Xyz Summoned: Target 1 Set card your opponent controls; return that target to the bottom of the Deck. Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 face-up card your opponent controls; return that target to the top of the Deck.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[quick axle]

That would be a waste of resources.

[pastel lotus]

yes i know its a board breaker

it doesn't put stuff in their graveyard theoritically

[quick axle]

And there's another problem. Lightning Chidori can be disrupted by backrow.

Or they couldn't even let you arrive to that point to begin with.

[pastel lotus]

i mean anything can be disrupted by backrow

[quick axle]

That's assuming that you'll get the best case scenario always, which won't happen.

[pastel lotus]

isn't there trap monsters that let's you choose attributes?

[quantum cat]

[vivid wave]

Quantum Cat

Effect

Activate this card by declaring 1 Monster Type and 1 Attribute; Special Summon this card as a Normal Monster (Level 4/ATK 0/DEF 2200) with that Type and Attribute. (This card is also still a Trap.)

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[pastel lotus]

oh yeah there is

[quick axle]

Yes, but almost nobody plays it, since it's too slow.

The chances for drawing both the trap and surviving to Turn 3/4 are small.

[pastel lotus]

is tth still on the ranked duel usage list?

[quick axle]

TTH is Limited 1 currently.

[pastel lotus]

that's a usage limit

what's the usage

is it still on the in game ranked list?

pardon me if i say i frequently don't understand your mindset and deckmaking philosophies

[quick axle]

https://www.duellinksmeta.com/cards/Treacherous Trap Hole

Not a whole lot, currently.

The deck that uses TTH the most currently is Harpies, and they have been power crept.

[pastel lotus]

well cause it sends stuff to the graveyard

and you have hard draw into it

[quick axle]

I think the reason TTH fell out if flavor, it's because of the Limited 1 status, as other decks will prefer a different card from that pool.

[pastel lotus]

well also its targetting destruction

[quick axle]

But it's also a blowout to boards.

[pastel lotus]

umm which boards

if you have something like quintlet it won't be affected by it

[quick axle]

That's assuming that Quintet will be on the field to begin with.

[pastel lotus]

yeah

i am sure there's ways to turbo it

and floaters don't care about pops

[quick axle]

And that's also assuming that they hard drew Magicalized Fusion.

[pastel lotus]

so the end result is attractive even if it is a trap and targetting

is that what you are saying?

[quick axle]

Basically, TTH is there to stop an endboard from even happening.

[pastel lotus]

yeah it squashes field assembly

[quick axle]

But... since TTH is Limited 1, well... there's better cards to use in that pool for other decks.

[pastel lotus]

so its ded

like the wicked witch of the west

[quick axle]

Practically, yeah.

You know which archetype can search the card, but there's not too much support currently in Duel Links? Traptrix.

[pastel lotus]

they exist

they don't want trap meta

komoney i mean

[quick axle]

Yes, but they only have a few cards on DL.

[pastel lotus]

i can't even remember which box

[quick axle]

None of the current support, none of the Xyz, none of the Link Monsters...

[pastel lotus]

maldolche and artifact still no xyz

[quick axle]

Correction: Madolche already got their Xyz monsters.

But no Anjelly, Promenade, Salon...

And only 1 copy of Petingcessoeur allowed per deck.

[pastel lotus]

i only ever played puddincess

she was fun

it's a control deck i don't understand very well

[quick axle]

They got their Xyz, but they can't do a whole lot without their advantage generators.

No Salon to add a second NS, no Promenade to negate effects, no Anjelly...

[pastel lotus]

[maldolche night doll]

[vivid wave]

Madolche Nights

Effect

When a monster effect is activated, if you have no monsters in your GY: Negate the activation, then if you control "Madolche Puddingcess", shuffle 1 random card from your opponent's hand into the Deck.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[pastel lotus]

this negate monster effect

[quick axle]

[Madolche Promenade]

[vivid wave]

Madolche Promenade

Effect

Target 1 face-up card your opponent controls and 1 "Madolche" monster you control or in your GY; negate the effects of that opponent's card until the end of this turn, and if you do, return your monster to the hand. You can banish this card from your GY, then target 1 "Madolche" Xyz Monster you control; attach 1 "Madolche" monster from your hand, Deck, or GY, to it as material. You can only use 1 "Madolche Promenade" effect per turn, and only once that turn.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[pastel lotus]

i think i packed it in some random decks

negate an effect without targetting

puddincess in random nonarch pendulum decks was fun

i think i only played puddincess because i got a prismatic of it

i totally didn't understand the archetype strategy

other than they are earth and it disrupts

traptrix remain a once and done archetype in dl

very interesting to see galaxy skill removing photon lord

so is pendulum a niche mechanic outside dd?

i forgot why dinomist was kind of good

they did stuff on destruction?

pendulum definately had that complexity where you have to have 2 monsters both being pendulum and the right scale numbers on each one and then leftover monsters to actually pendulum into

[quick axle]

That was a nerf, because the skill was unhealthy to the game.

[quick axle]

It wasn't. Just a cheesy deck, nothing else.

[past skiff]

What the chances of 8,000 gems getting me an infernornoid or mekk knight deck almost or fully complete

[midnight fable]

dinomist taking out these noobs left and right

this guy was on scud dark magician

[quick axle]

Oh, right, I forgot.

Did you unlock Shun, @midnight fable?

In the event on February, that is.

[midnight fable]

I dont remember if I did

yeah I dont have Shun

[quick axle]

Ugh... I swear I forgot you were looking forward to the unlock.

If anything, possibly the event repeat will be in May.

This month's unlock will be V.

[midnight fable]

yeah

[orchid ravine]

75% chance

[past skiff]

Is that good or bad

[orchid ravine]

Good

Or bad

Getting the cards you want is luck

[past skiff]

So I’m getting the box

[humble sorrel]

first day of playing and this is my deck is this good?

[white stirrup]

Short Answer: No

[humble sorrel]

great

imma uninstall it now

jk i don't know anything about the game can u help @white stirrup

[white stirrup]

I can help as well as any other one here but I can see what I can do

[humble sorrel]

oki

[humble sorrel]

[pastel lotus]

its actually awful

you should always keep high level main deck monsters to a minimum of 1 or 2 unless its something like blue-eyes or gimmick puppets

[silk hatch]

WOW SO HASSLEBARRY CAN USE SOULEATING OVIRAPTOR AND WE CANT? 😭

[pastel lotus]

i remember why dinomist was sort of rogue no thanks to yinyang guy

they could direct attack for 2000 twice

basically making them a different flavor of toons

[brisk pawn]

Play BA or battlin boxers

The starters

[dapper grotto]

Definitely spend a ton of time grinding gems to get a decent meta deck first, and don't go on Ranked until you do.

That's my motto lol.

But this is probably not a good time since KC Cup is on, and they may hit the meta deck harshly.

[silk hatch]

Just reached legend with evolzars in 30 mins after i finish kc cup with rose dragons now time to kog with evolzars 🤟😎🤟

https://duellinks.konami.net/att/0563e2b61b3af39106b860f8540add89d9c4f14690
phantom knights

[peak mesa]

Don't mix random cards or it's just a brick wall

[pastel lotus]

yeah cards have to actually synergize with each other and with your skill to be a viable deck

that's strategy

simply cramming in a bunch of the most iconic cards from anime/manga or free prismatics does not a good deck make

are all equip cards winmores?

because most of them aren't helpful in an empty field or topdecking

[stone shore]

Got the 2 beffy bois

[sonic nimbus]

why is it when I get tilted in ranked I brick more

[humble sorrel]

alright

[humble sorrel]

where's that

[humble sorrel]

should i build this deck?

[weak bough]

my very heavily WIP quattro deck

[brisk pawn]

Finally.

[brisk pawn]

What deck did you use

[dapper grotto]

Mekk Knight Resonators in the early stages, before switching to pure Mekk Knights in Dlv 18-20.

[white stirrup]

Oh wow Twilight Joker? Really?

[weak bough]

it's only there because it's a gimmick puppet name, that is every single gimmick puppet i currently own

[white stirrup]

Ah ok

[weak bough]

pulled another 10 packs from the puppet box and all i got was another rank 4

i guess i should just grind against legendary duelist quattro and hope to get some stuff

[silk hatch]

Is this worth building

[fallen kestrel]

Forgot dual avatar exusted

[white stirrup]

I forgot they only have 2 Main Deck Monsters...should have made the Fusions require 1 random Warrior instead of a specific Archetype thing in my Opinion

[fallen kestrel]

Hero builds

[small fern]

love how ||half of the villains have to constantly undergo the looming awareness that they're in a digital gaming world||

[fallen kestrel]

[white stirrup]

1 Warrior monster except a "HERO" monster

Exclude them entierly

Be racist like Castador

[warm steppe]

FREEDOM

I used Fluffal. It took 5 days.

[white stirrup]

Gonna throw him in to my Timelord Deck and see what happnes

[weak bough]

how long does it take to complete? is it to hit a certain level?

[dapper grotto]

Are you going to use Necro Fusion for that or something?

Though it would kinda conflict with the Infinite Light recycling.

[peak mesa]

Can I reach that using superheavy samurai?

Or should I start using like Psy cards mix on it

[sudden rapids]

Oh man I didnt expect that

Psychic blade is super good

So glad I learned about it from Stardust Accelerators

[white stirrup]

Nah. Normal Fusion, Necro is a bit too slow and I don't want to banish them. Might be a bit bricky but it works often enough

[orchid ravine]

I didn't know that victory by effect damage only could give you points

[white stirrup]

They have spefic Point's for almost anything

[dapper grotto]

Victory by effect damage is one of the Hallmarks of event pt farming lol

[drowsy holly]

Man I really want to enjoy red dragon.dek but I hate bricking with it lol

[dapper grotto]

Same. 😔

Still, it is fun when it works.

[drowsy holly]

Yeah I'm missing my red sprinters too.

But I have pretty much everything else besides doomcals.

[drowsy holly]

I really need 2 more sprinters and 1 more red resonator but it kind off works right now.

[fallen kestrel]

Both of their boxes are 50% off at the moment

Also I was tryna get red resonator and this happened

[weak bough]

squiresaga W

I read that as Squirrelsaga.

"It wasn't the real pharaoh, so I didn't really beat him, and until I do the scars of defeat will continue to burn."

I finally got odd-eyes pendulum dragon

[pastel lotus]

https://youtube.com/watch?v=p4sO96OmxlA

[pastel lotus]

is spellbooks dead?

[hazy crow]

Infernity is dead

[pastel lotus]

i am trying to figured out if winged kuriboh lv 9 actually handicaps spellbooks in any capacity

prevents their graveyard buildup if it stays on the field unaltered

problem is it relies on the number of magic cards in their graveyard to get stat gains

[hazy crow]

the problem is bringing out Winged Kuri

[pastel lotus]

just need to make a chain

not hard now

r. y. made it look good, can't remember how

nvm it was actually a veiz video https://youtube.com/watch?v=0oIOQtSwvPc

[brisk pawn]

[weak bough]

now that we have z-one, is zexal the only world without its final boss character?

with no dr faker or don thousand

i haven't watched arc v or vrains yet so i'm not sure if they have theirs

[sleek garnet]

They dont

Gx is also currently missing theirs

[weak bough]

is it not yubel?

oh wait ig there's probably one in the japan only version

[sleek garnet]

It's nightshroud, yes

[brisk pawn]

So we need don thousand, and evil dude from vrains

[quick axle]

ZEXAL just kinda started the ZEXAL II portion of the event.

GX is still missing the rumored Atticus Rhodes for some reason.

[sleek garnet]

They might be waiting for a point where darkness metal dragon becomes something they can reasonably put in a box

[quick axle]

REDMD could be put, since it has an errata.

And the effects can only be used once per turn.

[pastel lotus]

gx s4 characters would also need international vas

so no fujiwara even though clear vice dragon is in the tcg/ocg

[white stirrup]

Still waiting for Tour Guide

Just put her in Vrains idc

[pastel lotus]

if rin was in dl, would her designated ace be winter bell or crystal bell?

i'd laugh if synchro girl is tagged with fusion ace monster somehow

so far the arc-v character release has been happening like this: yuya/yuzu/gongenzaka/sawatari, reiji (for being the rival even though he appears at ep 11 at the earliest, also he becomes the fifth playable character for the arc-v world), yuto, sora, shun

serena could tentatively be the next one in order, although they could put in yugo instead

no masumi kind of disappointing but we all know there's really no time to put in side characters now

[drowsy holly]

I wonder if we'll get the Arc V versions of Crow, Jack, and Aster...

[white stirrup]

Probably when there is no other actual new Character left

[drowsy holly]

Yeah I just wonder what cards we would get.

Like maybe Red Wyvern?

[white stirrup]

Isn't that one allready in DL?

Jacks other stuff like the "Red" monsters are allready there too

[drowsy holly]

Yeah and that's most of what he used in arc v

[white stirrup]

He should get some more Support in that form in my opinion.
Like in general more "Red" Main Deck Monsters

And some better "Junk" Main Deck Monsters too while they are at it

[Junk Gardner]

[vivid wave]

Junk Gardna

5ds was weird

Remember that was the same time period when we got stuff like ice barriers and ally of justice

[drowsy holly]

Oh wait I think I figured out one of the issues with my resonator deck.

Duh, need more quickplay spells so I can otk with tyrant.

[white stirrup]

Discard 1 card to flip a monster...no thanks

[pastel lotus]

its to combat worms

[quick axle]

On lore, I think that's what they were designed for?

[pastel lotus]

5ds era archetypal card effects were still a bit on unfocused aka don't mention the archetype string so much

i think only dd checker was remotely useful and that's because it was a hard floodgate

[ally of justice rudra]

[vivid wave]

Ally of Justice Rudra

Level: 5
[ Machine / Effect ]

ATK 1900 / DEF 1200

Effect

If this card battles a LIGHT monster, it gains 700 ATK during the Damage Step only.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[white stirrup]

And it does a Ass Job in doing so

[white stirrup]

They are but lore should not be a reason to cripple a entire Archetype cough Mekklords cough

[quick axle]

Triskelion at least can steal other Extra Deck monsters directly from the Extra Deck.

[quick axle]

A bit of a shame that AoJ wasn't all that great as an archetype, so much that only individual cards were used.

The same could be said about Worms.

And Naturia before the recent wave of support.

The only kinda good archetype from that era of Hidden Arsenal / Duel Terminal was X-Saber, AFAIK.

[pastel lotus]

gusto and mist valley were archetypes

too bad neither are good level 4 spam decks

i can't get lightning chidori to fit with them

[white stirrup]

Man Mist Valley could have been really interesting

[quick axle]

Besides Apex Avian, the only one I kinda recall being used was Mist Valley Soldier.

[white stirrup]

They really should add skills to Characters that fit Archetypes
Zone = Vylons
Weevil = Inzectors
Rex = Jurrasier
Etc.

[quick axle]

That would be wishful thinking, sadly.

[white stirrup]

Would let weaker Decks compete a bit more too

Also yes

[quick axle]

DM World has been quite ignored for awhile.

[pastel lotus]

inzectors manipulated equips right?

[quick axle]

Besides giving Yami Yugi / Yugi Muto new stuff.

[pastel lotus]

i have no idea how they are played

even zexal era deck skill ceiling is too high for me

[quick axle]

Inzektor's smaller monsters equipped themselves with other Inzektor monsters.

And the bigger ones could also be equipped to the smaller ones.

[pastel lotus]

[inzector hornet]

[vivid wave]

Inzektor Hornet

Level: 3
[ Insect / Effect ]

ATK 500 / DEF 200

Effect

Once per turn: You can equip 1 "Inzektor" monster from your hand or GY to this card. While this card is equipped to a monster, that monster's Level is increased by 3, also it gains ATK/DEF equal to this card's ATK/DEF. While this card is equipped to a monster: You can send this Equip Card to the GY, then target 1 card on the field; destroy that target.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[pastel lotus]

it can equip something from graveyard

that's news to me

[quick axle]

The centerpiece was Inzektor Dragonfly, alongside Centipede being the Stratos of the deck.

[pastel lotus]

but yeah standard pop effect

[quick axle]

Hornet was limited at a certain point.

Same with [Inzektor Dragonfly]

[vivid wave]

Inzektor Dragonfly

Level: 3
[ Insect / Effect ]

ATK 1000 / DEF 1800

Effect

Once per turn: You can equip 1 "Inzektor" monster from your hand or GY to this card. If an Equip Card(s) is sent to your GY while equipped to this card (except during the Damage Step): You can Special Summon 1 "Inzektor" monster from your Deck, except "Inzektor Dragonfly". While this card is equipped to a monster, that monster's Level is increased by 3.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[pastel lotus]

you can equip... that doesn't target does it?

[quick axle]

Doesn't target.

A target is a condition for an effect to be activated.

If a card is targeted, then cards that affect targeted cards can be used for the effect to fizzle out.

[pastel lotus]

is inzector a control deck?

why is it obscure outside of needing 3 urs from a specific box?

[quick axle]

Inzektor was a meta deck in the OCG / TCG.

In Duel Links? They got their parts way too spreaded out. By the time we got Hornet and Dragonfly, it was just too little, too late.

[pastel lotus]

i think they got 1 xyz

forgot which one

i think digital bugs use it

[quick axle]

They have two: Inzektor Exa-Stag and Inzektor Exa-Beetle.

Inzektor Exa-Beetle was used in Onomat decks to climb into Digital Bug Rhinosebus.

Being generic.

[pastel lotus]

the database tells me the archetype only ever has 2 xyz monsters

does that mean its not an xyz-reliant deck?

unlike tellarknights

exa-beetle lets you graveyard steal a monster which seems good

[quick axle]

Actually, from what I can recall, they could summon any generic Rank 6 monster, same with Rank 3 and Rank 5 monsters with their level manipulation effects.

[pastel lotus]

yeah its from a time period where they didn't splash ss restrictions on every monster

so is it xyz-reliant or do wthey have other playstyles?

[quick axle]

Xyz-reliant.

[white stirrup]

Yep

Also neat targets for [Coccoon of ultra ]

[vivid wave]

Cocoon of Ultra Evolution

Effect

Tribute 1 Insect monster from either field equipped with an Equip Card, and if you do, Special Summon 1 Insect monster from your Deck, ignoring its Summoning conditions. During your Main Phase: You can banish this card from your GY, then target 1 Insect monster in your GY; shuffle it into the Deck, then draw 1 card. You can only use this effect of "Cocoon of Ultra Evolution" once per turn.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[weak bough]

didn't Z-one just get an international VA

[pastel lotus]

[ancient forest] still too op

[vivid wave]

Ancient Forest

Effect

When you activate this card, change any Defense Position monster(s) to face-up Attack Position. Flip Effects are not activated at this time. If a monster attacks, destroy it at the end of that turn's Battle Phase.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[pastel lotus]

please actually release the 5ds character specific fields

[white stirrup]

Not really? Wasn't there a Continious Trap that does the same?

[pastel lotus]

joke is komoney has not released it despite not being black garden level busted

orig gen 5ds cards still can't enter the game even though they are telling the endgame stories now?

was inzector cyberdark done right?

[fallen kestrel]

I do not understand how PK is meta

Every single time I play against it I either destroy them or they just instant scoop

Like I am beating all the tiered decks but mot timelord and dm

[dapper grotto]

I'm straight up taking Ls using Mekk Knights as well. It's like I either brick, or they interrupt me out of the wazoo.

[drowsy holly]

Oh yeah I saw a wacky mekk knight resonator deck that seemed weird but fun?

[fallen kestrel]

Yeah, cos mekk knight splashes into a weird amount of stuff rlly well

[midnight fable]

not at all

there is several things here that just dont make sense, like the electromagna warrior

https://ms.yugipedia.com//b/bb/BerserkiontheElectromagnaWarrior-SDMY-EN-UR-1E.png

how do you plan to use this?

[dapper grotto]

It's there to look nice. :^)

But anyways, the matchups in 2nd Stage is God damn diverse af.

Been taking Ls out the wazoo because I have no clue how to counteract them.

[weak bough]

i hate characters i want having special unlock conditions

apparently to get sylvio you have to get 500,000 duel points in arc-v

[silk hatch]

Still no Zeta this games gacha is too fucking disgusting

[peak mesa]

How.....

Like how the fuck you still have not got that rare card

Not*

[sudden rapids]

Yo does anyone wanna duel in duel links?

No?

Okay then..

[hazy crow]

Can someone explain this to me how Geomath can attack whilst I activate White Magician Shield Skill?

my roll for Shield is 4,which means 4 and above levels can't attack

[quick axle]

Did you activate the skill?

And how much did you roll in both die?

[sleek garnet]

you can see in the right screenshot

the result was 3 and 1

[tawdry crown]

Only thing I can think of is it possibly applying only to monsters your opponent currently controlling upon the skills activation

[brisk pawn]

The level was 4

[tawdry crown]

The skill description reads equal to or greater than and the attacking monster was very much over lvl 4

[silk hatch]

My fucking luck is worst in human history

I need rising dragon i get every UR and probably every SR before i get it

But it gets worse

I need N card for localized tornado

63 packs left no luck

I swear to god no human can have worse luck than me

When it comes to gacha games

[sleek garnet]

Amateur

[silk hatch]

Idk what the fuck i did but why is my luck this god damn bad im gonna kill myself bro omfg

[sleek garnet]

It took me 160 packs to get a single copy of madolche ticket in the old box

[silk hatch]

Amateur

I get every fucking card before i get the one i want i swear it has never not been this way

Who did I hurt... 😤

[sleek garnet]

[peak mesa]

Bitch I can't even get quasar

I need fuckin quasar dammit

Can't even get it with my dream ticket

[quick axle]

Dream tickets ignore like the last 6-8 boxes before the ticket released..

[silk hatch]

Bitch i dont give a fuck for quasar

If i did need him

I wouldnt get him until last pack

[peak mesa]

Betch me need

Cuz haha funi anime card

[peak mesa]

Ok this is just bullshit

[hazy crow]

Yes, Idk IF the skill only works for just effect monster and not for extra deck monsters

Btw is this only me rn?

Okay MAINTENANCE

[sonic nimbus]

they upped the vrains chars level cap

Soulburner and Onizuka get 2x Salad Blaze Dragon and 2x Gouki Destroy Ogre

meanwhile Yusaku and Aoi get fkn Linkuriboh and Light Stage

[quick axle]

Light Stage is Limited 1 on release, BTW.

[white stirrup]

Atleast it's free

[dapper grotto]

Blessed Linkuriboh.

Too bad I don't have the Trickstar core.

Might try to get into that box if it ever gets back into the meta.

[sleek garnet]

Bro lightstage is their best card wydm?

[midnight fable]

the new hero generation skill is dumb, casual 23 card extra deck

luckily from what I can tell it's not a random 15 added, always the same 15 pretty trash ones

Like mudballman and such

[quick axle]

On another note, Revolver repeat event.

Probably he'll be unlockable around May or June.

[midnight fable]

Yeah I've been working on the event, curious about what the new skill does

[weak bough]

still waiting for don thousand

[hasty delta]

i wonder how many more decks are gonna go into links now that linkuriboh's in the game. prolly the most generic link-1 we'll get in dl for a good while im betting

but then again, maybe it wont change much cause of small ed space

[sonic nimbus]

Nah I'm moreso saying that Soulburner and Onizuka get dogshit while Yusaku and Aoi get god tier cards

[sleek garnet]

Ah

[pastel lotus]

so blue maiden will be a separate future released character much like judai?

[white stirrup]

I don't think so

Angel allready has Marincess skills

[sonic nimbus]

Rose Dragon still any good?

[white stirrup]

I don't remember if it ever was

[sonic nimbus]

wasn't Rose Dragon tier 0 at 1 point

Still testing Metalfoes X Yang Zing. I think my problem is consistency with 30-card deck

[hazy crow]

#DuelReplay #DuelLinks
https://duellinks.konami.net/att/06127fb3265e021b657f89fb31f2f74bea4fc650aa

not bad for a wall

[white stirrup]

Foes with Yang Zing? Does that work out?

[hazy crow]

Im using a metalfoes pendulum to SS the lvl 2 Yang zing Tuner

Its like am engine but not consistent kek

[white stirrup]

Ah

[hazy crow]

Metalfoes just there so that I can SS YZ tuners fast

[white stirrup]

I thought like a complete hybrid like Igknights and Foes

I have one with 1 of each card

[hazy crow]

Nc nc

I have all igknight, but I dont have all Foes

I mean 3x per foes card

I still can't get how igknights work, unlike foes which is fast and efficient

Foes destroys one pendulum, while Igknights destroys both. And the boss monsters are hassle to summon.

Also Im doing Aleister X Yang Zing hahahaha

[quick axle]

30 cards sounds like a bad idea, unless you have a way to draw into your deck consistently.

[young viper]

sup, i'm new, best card to get with the UR ticket?

[devout estuary]

wsp ım new what deck should ı buy ım thınkıng about blue eyes evolutıon

[dapper grotto]

Usually staples like Book of Moon or Mystical Space Typhoon are the best to get if you don't have them.

[dapper grotto]

Blue-eyes haven't been doing all that well for years unfortunately. Maybe get the new Dark Magician Structure Deck, along with the necessary staples like Warning Point and Book of Moon to get a decent deck going.

[devout estuary]

can ı get the name of the deck pls

[dapper grotto]

Secret of Magicians, I think.

[devout estuary]

along wıth what

[dapper grotto]

Though you also need 2-3 of the Apprentice Illusion Magicians as well

https://www.duellinksmeta.com/top-decks/kc-cup/30/dark-magician/ネオンテトラ/rqm4t

Basically this, but you can replace the Crackdowns with other staples like Warning Point.

Also in Link Revolution.

[devout estuary]

can you joın vc so ı can share my screen by any chance

ıt wıll be easıer

🙃

[devout estuary]

bough ıt

[dapper grotto]

Sorry mate, am working right now.

[hazy crow]

this deck relies on first turn kek and is "brickable" even if you can normal summon a dark magician

[dapper grotto]

You're more likely to summon "The Dark Magicians" with an extra staple trap or spell face-down than not in my experience.

Turn 1s are all about setting up interrupts unfortunately, but it works.

[pastel lotus]

blue-eyes is just beatstick spam

no real strategies in it that undermines other decks not sadly

3000 atk monsters are only about as good as how many times you can attack with it

is fiendish powercrept?

[sleek garnet]

Kinda, yea

[Warning point] is the new toy

[vivid wave]

Warning Point

Effect

When a monster(s) is Summoned: This turn, that face-up monster(s) cannot attack, its effects are negated, also it cannot be used as material for a Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, or Link Summon.
