[pastel lotus]

looks very bricky

[quick axle]

30 cards, only one copy of the structure...

[pastel lotus]

no magician's rod smh

[devout estuary]

in a good or a bad way

[quick axle]

Bad.

I'm not gonna sugarcoat it: Structure Decks are a beginner's trap.

[devout estuary]

how to get the cards i need i cant find them in exchange im new and no one is helping me

[pastel lotus]

dark dimension has some support

[quick axle]

I wouldn't invest on them at all, since 90% of them need 3 copies of the structure, and you can only get 1 with gems, and the other two with real money.

And also, reduce the card count to 20.

[pastel lotus]

no deck runs 3 of black magician girl

[devout estuary]

a guy who i think was a helper told me to buy those

[pastel lotus]

reduce it to 1

[quick axle]

I'm just giving you my concept on how I feel about Structure Decks.

Because a single Structure Deck copy doesn't a good deck make.

[pastel lotus]

also get some actual backrow removal besides circle

[devout estuary]

can one of you join vc to help me

cuz i dont understand most of the card names ur saying

i only watched s1 of yugi

[quick axle]

Then you're going to have a bad time. You need to get familiar with the newer Dark Magician support.

Because it's essential for the deck to work. As of right now, you're running a ton of bricks.

[devout estuary]

dam

i wanted to run dragons at the beggining but everyone said its not good in the game

[pastel lotus]

its the typical iconic cards mishmash by someone who doesn't understand the finer points of deckbuilding

[devout estuary]

[quick axle]

As I said, a beginner's trap.

A beginner tends to get the Structure Decks because they have some of those iconic cards.

Without a clear understanding on how to make a deck work.

And in the end, you end up wasting your gems needlessly, since they're a finite and valuable resource.

[devout estuary]

but a guy told me here to buy them

[quick axle]

I'm just speaking from experience.

Make of that what you will.

[devout estuary]

dam bro

waste of a 1000 gem

[pastel lotus]

no staples

[quick axle]

Sorry if I'm being harsh, I'm just telling you what I'm seeing.

[devout estuary]

its okey it wasnt harsh anyways

it was just straight truth

sooooooooooooooooooooooooo

what should i do now

[quick axle]

When did you start the game?

[devout estuary]

yesterday

[quick axle]

Then you can restart from scratch.

Where are you playing the game? Mobile?

[pastel lotus]

get rid of the level 4 normal monsters too, they aren't serving any grand utility for the deck

[devout estuary]

they gave me 3000 gem 1250 left and i play on pc

[quick axle]

Hmm... PC? Restarting there would be a bit more difficult, since the information is synchronized with Steam Cloud.

[devout estuary]

daaaaaaaaaaaaam

is there delete acc option

in the game

what to do now

[dapper grotto]

Dark Magician at the moment are KoGable and have topped tourneys. The problem is you need 3 of them, always. It's not a beginner's trap; it's a f2p mindset trap lmao. You have to spend money if you're investing in an easy to KoG deck like Dark Magician right now.

[quick axle]

A beginner's trap is that you fail into the trappings that getting a single structure will suffice, when it will not.

Whch is why it's ill-advised to spend gems on structures.

Since the gems are a finite resource that could be spent somewhere else.

[devout estuary]

who should i trust now you or him

[quick axle]

We have different concepts, that's all.

[dapper grotto]

Fair. When I was a beginner in the game, I just holed myself into the event stuff saving up my gems and researching stuff before going into ranked before spending money or gems.

[quick axle]

That's the general mindset one should have.

Researching on what you would want to invest, instead of going guns blazing.

[dapper grotto]

But ye, if you're just fully unwilling to spend money to the game, maybe just wait until the banlist hits. We just had a KC Cup and the current meta decks are in danger of getting hit.

Just stay away from Ranked for now and just do the events.

[quick axle]

Yeah, right now we're in banlist-o-clock.

And also, one thing to keep in mind: The investments that are done to certain decks, if you got a meta deck, chances are that your investment will only last for a short period.

[dapper grotto]

Unless you're Galaxy, then a long, long period. 🤣

Thank God they finally hit their skill.

[quick axle]

Xyz Galaxy took way too long to hit.

Imagine having an unhealthy monster.

[dapper grotto]

Galaxy is my favorite deck, but even I got bored of the same plays after months.

I hope they bring a more fun, but effective skill once they give them more support.

I do like that we got the Rank 8 generic Galaxy package though. Powerful, but eats up a ton of your ED space for some pops.

[devout estuary]

hi

Good wombo

[pastel lotus]

https://youtube.com/watch?v=1TGYHgdBfnA

[white stirrup]

Waitng till their good Xyz cards hit the Game

[pastel lotus]

this video reminded me that karma cut existed lol

[fallow pendant]

I just maxed reiji akaba

[pastel lotus]

all worlds be like that

then they raised the level cap periodically to encourage you to revisit that world

chances of dennis macfield to enter the game?

i think he has an xyz ace, his anime in-archetype fusion monster has never been printed

tentative arc-v waiting list: serena, yugo, dennis, reira (could be introduced with a separate deck)

still funny to see v (zexal character) getting a voiceline for a tag force only fusion monster that was only used in s2 of gx

but yeah space theme all the way

guy don't even has his own archetype and i don't think he even had a field magic to search with planet pathfinder

[white stirrup]

Don't care for any of those
Where Tour Guide Komommy?

Gimme the Keys to the Basement

I can be trusted

[drowsy holly]

God if we get clear wing synchro dragon

Yuri would also be fun.

Since predaplants are just kinda meh

[white stirrup]

Yeah

They only have 1 Fusion monster right now right?

[drowsy holly]

In the full game they have a lot more.

[white stirrup]

I know

I play it lol

I meant in DL of course

They only got that one Plant thingy that doesn't even look like a Mix of Animal and Plant

[pastel lotus]

what was that phantom knight continuous magic that can be a protect for dark monsters?

currently making a deck for sin cyber end dragon

found it, it was phantom knight's spear

[quick axle]

https://www.duellinksmeta.com/articles/news/balance-update/april-19-2023

Synchro decks weren't in the meta. Probably in response to KC Cup.

Sala, Mekk and Infernoids got further hits.

I didn't even know Synchros performed well on the KC Cup to give this kind of banlist response.

[brisk pawn]

I built heraldic xyz and it’s really good

[white stirrup]

Well yeah cause you don't use their Xyz monsters most likely

They are a Rank 4 Spam Deck

They are as good as any other Engine to me

[brisk pawn]

No I actually use their xyz

[quick axle]

@desert dawn

[white stirrup]

KARAKURI's Whooo!

[quick axle]

Both Six Samurai and Blackwing got their cards back... not that it's going to be relevant for them anyways.

Machine Angel Ritual? Whoop-de-doo, we really don't care too much about Cyber Angel or Witchcrafter nowadays-

Ninishi is nice, but they still have Inashichi restricted.

[dapper grotto]

Synchro did get some top ranks in KC Cup surprisingly.

But ye, hopefully we get a new meta decks with this month's box to replace these

[hasty delta]

what they hitting mekk-knights again for, i dont see them in ranked like, Ever

[quick axle]

Surprisingly, they performed well in the KC Cup, yet again.

[quick axle]

Even if I don't play the game, this was kinda my reaction with the Synchro deck that uses Yusei's new skill.

Like, the Synchro hits were surprising to me, and they weren't even meta, which means they performed surprisingly well in the KC Cup.

[hasty delta]

i didnt even see anyone else playing mk in the kc cup and i got to stage 2? wack

mostly just annoyed cause it feels to me like other meta decks can get up to way worse shenanigans but they keep hitting the one that im playing 😭

[dapper grotto]

I saw a few Mekk Knights on the ladder sadly. Though a lot of them are the Resonator Mekk Knight variant.

I myself use that variant.

[dapper grotto]

Lmao, of course.

Good ol' free level 7s and 8s for Synchro plays.

[pastel lotus]

what's the icon that can be gotten from cross duels?

would glow-up bulb get banned like in the live game?

[quick axle]

If a deck can exploit it and it becomes unhealthy, the thing they could do would be putting it to Limited 1 first.

[hasty delta]

glow-up bulb might see play now with linkuriboh in the game

[quick axle]

Sounds like something.

• One for One searches for GUB
• GUB summons Linkuriboh
• SS GUB from the GY
• Link Summon again or do another thing

[weak bough]

i'm surprised i'm doing so well in the legacy duels using chazz

unfortunate there's no ojama rental deck

[dapper grotto]

The Zane loaner deck is for me. Chazz' deck often lose to trap or Sphere Kuriboh backrow. 😦

[drowsy holly]

Who was it the other day complaining about their luck? This was for my second red sprinter, took until around this too for the first one 🙃

[quick axle]

Welcome to my world, Licia.

[sleek garnet]

Pretty sure every regular here has at least one screenshot of them having opponent all but 1 pack of a back and still not getting the card they needed

[quick axle]

That happened to me twice, Choccy.

BTW, what did you think about the banlist?

[sleek garnet]

I am extremely biased because i love code talkers and synchron is my favorite deck of all time so seeing it get hit in 2 weeks definitely hurts

But it's an ok list

[dapper grotto]

Will this make PK best deck if we get nothing good in the next box?

[sleek garnet]

Probably so yea

Pk is just harpie 2, it feels like

[dapper grotto]

True that, it's not that amazing. Though it has some decent grind game.

In any case, is anyone using custom decks for Legacy Duels or Loaners?

[silk hatch]

should i go all out for this deck

[dapper grotto]

Thinking of finding a cheap custom one in hopes of getting through the event.

[silk hatch]

i like using loaners more than custom personally more fun

[sleek garnet]

This list is kinda bad ngl

[dapper grotto]

Nah, BLS is not very good. :/

Just a fun deck.

[silk hatch]

sas

sad

[dapper grotto]

[silk hatch]

I already spent enough gems on bad decks that are fun

U play BLS? @sleek garnet

[sleek garnet]

I do

Also cut ring of destruction

If you have better staples

[silk hatch]

send a decklist

[sleek garnet]

Sure

[silk hatch]

Can it survive the meta rn or na

[sleek garnet]

Not really

It's the 47th best otk deck in the game

And it sucks at doing anything else

[silk hatch]

47th 💀

i dont even think I seen 20 decks in the past month i played currently

It usually is the same 5-6

[pastel lotus]

is chow chow chan in the game?

[quick axle]

And I wasn't even expecting Synchron to get hit at all, not even two weeks after the box release.

The hits were quite harsh.

[sleek garnet]

Yea

I have no idea why, too

I guess it's because people werent ending on quasar like konami wanted to?

[pastel lotus]

first onomatopoeia now synchron

what protagonist deck haven't they nerfed?

[sleek garnet]

Odd eyes

[pastel lotus]

they are all beaters apart from some like phoenix

i don't think any are available from f2p gate farming

except lancer

[sleek garnet]

Joker is a lvl up reward ig

[quick axle]

My guess was because of their performance at the KC Cup.

[sleek garnet]

Guess it's like cydra, yea

[quick axle]

Third place was a Mekk-Knight and Synchron hybrid.

[pastel lotus]

cyber angel tier 1

[pastel lotus]

is water xyz dead?

[white stirrup]

Still playable

[pastel lotus]

starfish can make pretty high rank xyz with tannhauser gate, ice mirror would give you another starfish for free, you can activate both starfish's effects for modulation

it just needs those high ranks to go into

darkness gimmick technically comtains 2 character's aces

can't wait for dyson sphere's animation

[drowsy holly]

Yeah no water xyz isn't touched as far as I can tell?

Oh wait, there's that version that uses synchros as well, my bad. That's 100% not what I think of when I think water xyz.

[quick axle]

Water Xyz has been never hit, just power crept in general.

It goes to show that Territory of the Sharks never got hit.

[sleek garnet]

Oh yea btw wtf was that infernity hit for?

Am i on konami's black list or smth?

[dapper grotto]

Cautionary measure apparently.

Maybe something to do with the upcoming box?

[quick axle]

Something Something Orcust?

Reminder that we already have Harp Horror... doing jack squat at the moment.

Even if I'm not playing the game, I try to keep up with how things are going.

The Synchro hits were the biggest surprise to me. I was like... "What the? They weren't even meta or anything! If anything, they only had two weeks for the deck to exist in its current form."

But then seeing the results of the KC Cup put the full picture on it.

Which made me say: "Okay, I get it. They performed surprisingly well in the KC Cup." And Konami usually tends to punish decks that performed well in the KC Cup... most of the time.

@dapper grotto That was my outlook on the Synchro hits.

[dapper grotto]

Especially when they only just got new support.

[quick axle]

Yes, that was kinda uncalled for.

A new skill, even, so they preferred dancing over nerfing the skill by limiting the cards around the skill.

[dapper grotto]

Thought they would only get lighter hits, but sheesh.

[quick axle]

This is pretty much like what happened with another archetype, I think?

Each month we're closer to possibly getting Celina.

I wonder if Tenki will get a preemptive Limited 2 or Limited 1 on preparison to more Lunalights incoming?

Hmm... if I have to wonder, probably Lunalight Sabre Dancer to Limited 1, Tenki to Limited 2.

That's the big question.

[umbral mountain]

Why I can’t claim any of the solfachord cards with exchange tickets? Is it because the box it’s in is new?

[white stirrup]

Yep

Doesn't work with newer Boxes
It's written in the Infos too though

Clutch with Heart of the Cards

[hazy crow]

The Bond Illuminate is def OP if you send Dragon Synchro kek. Free 3 Signer Dragons for OTK

[drowsy holly]

iirc Harp Horror could also cheat out the better Barrel Dragon when that was a deck.

[quick axle]

That was ages ago.

On a time when Desperado was a deck.

[brisk pawn]

Whoever wants to duel I’m down after I get home

[silk hatch]

Anyone have a koggable BLS decklist

[silk hatch]

The skill for jack yusei, yugi, jaden all need nerfs they just carry tf out of their decks

[sleek garnet]

Now

Is that a bad thing?

[pastel lotus]

we only get serena if they want to promote fusion summoning

if they wanted to promote synchro or xyz, then they would release yugo or dennis instead

[quick axle]

Synchros were promoted with the latest box, Xyz would be the next box, since it involves V.

So probably the next box after that one could involve fusion.

[hazy crow]

Almost all my opponents in ladder match is summoning Quasar on First Turn. And you can't deal with that shiat because most of the time your starting hand doesn't have any card that can counter. You can't brick Quasar duelist kek

Atleast on Starlight Road, you can still counter Shooting Star or Stardust Warrior, unlike in Bond Illuminate.

[weak bough]

i mean you cant get quasar until turn 3

but still having two signer dragons just for drawing a level 2 is crazy

[robust void]

just another day of me pulling cards

[white stirrup]

Imagin wanting 3 Time Maidens haha couldn't be me

the fact it's not even a Level Up reward

[sleek garnet]

I mean

Not really?

You beat quasar pass the same way you beat requiem pass

[silk hatch]

book of moon ez

[peak mesa]

I can feel your pain

As a synchro fan boi want to get it 😔

[peak mesa]

Well if you made him negate an effect then it's a sitting duck

But would be disastrous if cosmic blazar came

[sonic nimbus]

i just wanted trish for rose dragons :c

[sonic nimbus]

ngl end of opp's MP Shooting Riser eff quick synchro into lvl 11 trish generates so much fkn dopamine

[silk hatch]

I summoned for shooting riser and i did not get til pack 2... my luck so shit but i did get the homie quasar in like 40 packs

[silk hatch]

my only time havin goodluck

Ah

yeesir u alr know

buster blader worth building or is it bad now

[brisk pawn]

It’s bad

[silk hatch]

aw it looks so cool ;-;

[sonic nimbus]

ok so I've been messing around w/Rose Dragon on ranked and it seems really solid

but idk if my build is optimal

[sleek garnet]

Explain the magician's robe

[sonic nimbus]

dump off Riser, opp's turn end of MP flip Basal Rose rez a level 4 Rose Dragon, Robe eff on resolution of Basal rez itself

Riser eff quick synchro into lvl 11 Trish wipe board

robe is a garnet tho which is a major downside

[drowsy holly]

Do you use it for anything but the self revival?

[sonic nimbus]

Robe? no

also in game updates for May

WE'RE GETTING YUGO LEGGO

[drowsy holly]

YO

THAT MEANS WE GET CLEAR WING

[sonic nimbus]

and seems like Grandpa Muto as a roamer

[white stirrup]

Cool

Then we can see what weird stuff they gave him

My guess is Normal Monster or Rock stuff

[drowsy holly]

More summoned skull/exodia support?

[indigo grail]

Ancients mayhaps

[white stirrup]

Man Skull Skills would be so cool

[midnight fable]

https://tenor.com/view/yu-gi-oh-arc-v-yugo-yuugo-yugioh-ygo-arc-v-gif-15576322

that makes 3/4

[quick axle]

Still no Celina.

[white stirrup]

You think Ra Spheremode will come as a Level Up for Marik at some point?

[drowsy holly]

You know

I barely have any packs left

I wonder if it's worth digging for the link 3 crusadia thing

[sleek garnet]

How many dogorans do you have?

[drowsy holly]

Oh wait uh the kaiju I think just the one let me check

Just the one

[sleek garnet]

Hmm

oh shit when did we get radian

I think grabbing 1 equimax is fine tbh

[drowsy holly]

Yeah I only have 10 packs left in the box anyway so like

I could totally just finish it off.

[drowsy holly]

Oh what the FUCK the box reset on me and I don't remember clicking it???

[drowsy holly]

Alrighty tike to save for clear wing

[sonic nimbus]

some datamines from latest update

ayo more skill buffs/nerfs

Raptors Rising removing the 1 RUM limit kinda nice

also Babel added

[sonic nimbus]

Orcust is coming with everything but Crescendo lmao

[white stirrup]

Do we even have their Links?

[sonic nimbus]

they'll be added

TOSS format part 2

[white stirrup]

No limit on them either, cool

[pastel lotus]

https://www.reddit.com/r/DuelLinks/comments/12y64bs/boss_im_tired_of_skill_driven_meta_decks/

yes

the days of succinct skill text are over

everything needs convoluted conditions and/or restrictions attached to them

[white stirrup]

Yeah it's dumb

The Decks don't even need overpoered Anime Skill BS

Give that shit to Rex or Scud

They have dumb shit no one cares for

Tristian too

Cyber Comander my ass

[pastel lotus]

i don't think v is going to get any sort of op skill

maybe something related to rum and that's it

[white stirrup]

V?

[pastel lotus]

he didn't even play an archetype

zexal sephiroth

he had 1 xyz and its upgrade

yuya should have animations for all the dimension dragons and yusei should get the same for all the signer dragons + ptd

clear wing is a generic level 7

anyone thinks it will impact the meta significantly or not really?

just release stardust dragon/buster mode already

at least that one is tied to a trap card

[drowsy holly]

Utopia the Lightning

Damnit I can't find it now, but I remember seeing a hilarious image of Utopia the Lightning just decking Maiden with Eyes of Blue

[pastel lotus]

i think clear wing could eventually beat black rose in usage, as people get copies of it, might take 3~6 months or so but i feel it could happen

[drowsy holly]

Oh Clear Wing is my favorite lvl 7 synchro still.

[tawdry crown]

I remember this image lol

[drowsy holly]

And one of my favorite synchros of all time

[pastel lotus]

hope they release akumagnet with best boy

forgot dub tcg name

it could at least eat up a blue-eyes going into cloudcastle

speedroid missing a lot of their tuners

[drowsy holly]

I really like how it has protection as well.

[pastel lotus]

what protection

i hope speedroids won't just become a harpie lady cyber slash deck

being an anime deck that don't have a lot of heavy usage restriction except maybe to wind

[drowsy holly]

It can protect itself from monster effects that target.

so its non-anime card but supports and has the namesake of a anime archetype

[drowsy holly]

Yeah it was released when a BUNCH of archetypes got links back in link format

Oh goodie I can save my gems for this pack, like nothing I'm going to go for.

[pastel lotus]

numbers hunter and dimension wanderer has marginal relation to kaito despite them not being part of any of kaito's 3 archetypes

dimension wanderer is burn if gepd activates and resolves its effect

although dimension wanderer doesn't stipulate it had to be a gepd on your side of the field doing it

a little known yugo trap card is follow wing

follow wing basically grants any of the user's synchro clear wing's effect set or something very akin to it

could be level-up reward

yugo has not dueled a synchro user in the anime except against rin and the often forgotten officer 227

wondering if he can beat jack without cramming his deck with cheap generic staples

funnily both 5ds and arcv had a huge emphasis on the number 5

junk warrior is a level 5, the opening and closing monster of 5ds, and has 2300 attack (2+3=5)

tg has 3 level 5 synchros

all dimensional dragons only activate their effects against (or battling in odd eyes case) against level 5 or higher monsters [anime effects]

there was most likely only going to be 5 signers at the onset of 5ds's plot

[drowsy holly]

Yeah there's that galaxy spell which is neat but I'm not digging for that when I really want clear wing.

[pastel lotus]

i personally really like entermate king bear

its immune to black hole when in its perferred battle position

as an even more meme strategy, it is immune to the downside of high and low (tag force only)

aka it can gain attack without being destroyed by that card's effect

high and low is a battle trap for those unaware

[dapper grotto]

Galaxy-eyes, my beloved.

Definitely digging this box for it, along with the Compulses I never got.

[pastel lotus]

eitom could fit in level 8 dragon decks

its light and level 8 and 3000 attack

its a nice alternative beatstick if you opponent played extra deck hate cards or if your intended beatered got chain'd or otherwise incapacitated in some way that doesn't leave the field

[pastel lotus]

[speedroid maliciousmagnet]

[vivid wave]

Speedroid Maliciousmagnet

Level: 1
[ Machine / Tuner / Effect ]

Cannot be used as Synchro Material except for a Synchro Summon by its own effect. During your Main Phase, if this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; immediately after this effect resolves, Synchro Summon 1 WIND Synchro Monster using only this card you control and that monster. You can only use this effect of "Speedroid Maliciousmagnet" once per turn.

funfunfun

lava golem is level 8

satan claws would result in a combination of 7

[silk hatch]

No hero or resonator skill nerf what konami doing atleast PK skill got nerfed but still ;-;

[half sphinx]

New box is gonna really shake up the meta so they probably didn't see any reason to

[quick axle]

Okay, so... besides revealing a "The Phantom Knights" card, is that nerf any substantial effort?

[half sphinx]

Nope

That's the only change

[quick axle]

Does that do anything to nerf the PK deck?

Because I don't see it.

[half sphinx]

Not really. Konami knows PK are super popular and that they sell really well. They aren't gonna hit it hard

[quick axle]

Okay, so Orcust is upcoming. Also, FYI, Babel is Limited 1 alongside Mermaid, so... Knightmare Orcust was killed in the nip before time.

Remember the time when Mermaid was able to summon Orcust Knightmare?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Ugh... yeah. I don't feel like coming back to the game.

I'm still keeping an eye on things, but I cannot be arsed to come back, since... ugh... gems are hard to convey.

[half sphinx]

We had an interesting leak about box chips

[quick axle]

Yeah, but what those would do?

I don't think it will change anything about how the game is fundamentally P2W.

[half sphinx]

The card trader text says: "Exhchange BOX Chips for other cards"

[white stirrup]

Can also mean you get them for buying boxes

[quick axle]

I wouldn't count on it.

If anything, it could be the same deal as EX Chips.

Which you can only get by paying money on the Selection Boxes.

[dapper grotto]

For the nerfing of the PK skill, I'd say it does do something, they'll probably play less of the PK traps and load in more PK monsters. So less backrow for stall and revival, I guess?

[silk hatch]

If they draw all spells or traps they lose

atleast they can brick now and wtf is box chips is it gonna be like crafting 0.o

[silk hatch]

It says box so probably only the regular boxes and not UR and SR structure decks and selection boxes

or maybe only selection boxes idk

[quick axle]

Ehh... sorry to be rather pessimistic, but probably it will work the same as EX Chips.

[silk hatch]

i mean its konami so no suprises

i dont expect it do be anything worth until i see it for myself

and who knows it could be jus a p2w feature

[half sphinx]

We have no new mechanic left for September so it's possible Konami might want to do somethig more f2p friendly to make people come back

[quick axle]

Either that, or the game dies a certain death.

Considering that most people that played DL migrated to Master Duel.

[dapper grotto]

Most people that migrated were only in DL in the first place because it was an official Konami Yugioh game.

The only one at the time "worth" doing.

I do hope we can get Box chips in events, but I'm rather pessimistic about this as well.

I can only hope the paid way of getting chips is somewhat cheap.

[silk hatch]

💀

If theres no way to get the chips f2p then rip

[quick axle]

I'm not counting on it.

My guess is that it will work the same as the EX Chips from Selection Boxes.

[silk hatch]

Konami those bastards smh

https://youtu.be/Tkg7Gili128 how u get grandpa muto

[white stirrup]

I hope he atleast has a 3D Animation for a Monster
Summoned Skull or smth idk

[quick axle]

You can't yet. Next month is a roaming event.

[silk hatch]

Ohh howd that dude get that video then

[quick axle]

Leaks.

Internal data can be used.

[silk hatch]

I saw terraforming is coming too i dont use trickstars but it wouldve been good for em if terraforming wasnt limit 1

[half sphinx]

I don't think it actually is limit 1

It has no restriction on it except being able to get it once through the bundle

[quick axle]

It may as well get a Limited 1 slapped onto it.

[quick axle]

The leak about the package won't say so, AFAIK.

[dapper grotto]

I hear there's new music for DM when you're at 1k LP.

[silk hatch]

Wait miracle of nightmare?

mirage

[sleek garnet]

I got you

By the way

[quick axle]

@sleek garnet I'm not holding my breath on that one.

It's going to be probably some P2W stuff.

[sleek garnet]

It's probably gonna stuff like the selection box gems

But man

[quick axle]

And probably it will work the same thing as the EX Chips you get from Selection Boxes.

[sleek garnet]

Also

Slightly delayed reaction but

Lab builder is dead

[quick axle]

Yep.

[sleek garnet]

I have legit played every lab builder deck since the skill came out

[cold pollen]

Wtf is this nerf on mekk knight

[sleek garnet]

Even the bad ones

[cold pollen]

My whole deck is now gone lol

[sleek garnet]

Yea konami doesnt like people to have popular decks for very long

[quick axle]

Not only Mekk-Knight, this caused collateral damage.

[sleek garnet]

[quick axle]

Farming decks also suffered.

Kinda.

[cold pollen]

Any deck suggestions?

I have 5000 gems what should I start making

[sleek garnet]

I'd suggest just waiting

New box arrives next week

[quick axle]

Actually, on Sunday.

So not exactly next week?

[dapper grotto]

People hyping it as the best box so far, though doubtful until I see Orcust do well on ladder and tourneys

Or maybe Magistrus is the hidden deck to beat.

[cold pollen]

Guys which one is better

Mystical space tychoon

Or book of moon

[sleek garnet]

depends on the format

mst is generally better if you have no other backrow removal in your account, but book of moon has a niche that's hard to replace

[quick axle]

Main issue? Babel to Limited 1. You know what else is Limited 1? Knightmare Mermaid.-

And Transmodify? Shock of all shocks, it also got slapped with a Limited 1.

[dapper grotto]

Excellent.

Won't stop people from theorycrafting combos.

[cold pollen]

Lol why is knightmare mermaid limited 1

[quick axle]

Blame Mekk-Knights and Salamangreat.

[cold pollen]

Mekk knight was my only deck

With six knightmare cards lol

Now they are out 👍

[quick axle]

Mermaid being able to summon Iblee to lock your opponent further?

Does that sound fun to you?

[cold pollen]

Nah, you only need a link disciple to counter that

Then you can special summon normally

[dapper grotto]

Having to dedicate an ED space when it could've been used for your archetype sounds awful.

Especially for my ED tight Block Dragon turbo

[pastel lotus]

sugoroku appeared in dsod

yes i'd actually want a dsod version of him

box chips seems like extra pointless currency

solves nothing about the game fundamentally, just there to be another coupon for being a whale

[quick axle]

That'x exactly my point. From my point of view, I see that the box chips are going to be another tool for whales to take advantage, because they'll be probably be locked behind a paywall, like EX Orbs from the Selection Boxes are.

[pastel lotus]

ex orbs kek

[quick axle]

EX Orbs, that.

The main issue with the game is a fundamental one.

It's P2W by design.

[pastel lotus]

that and character inclusion seem to become more scattershot

seven damn worlds to cater to now

[quick axle]

And grinding becomes a chore.

You know, the more I want to play MD, the less makes me desire to play DL.

MD can be P2W if you didn't plan accordingly, but at least in that game, you can workaround those issues, as it has crafting.

@pastel lotus On another note, sorry if I seemed a bit stand-off about stuff you said. I think everyone has different goals to aim, and that's fine.

[pastel lotus]

ok

dl's saving grace is that you can rp as your favorite char

[quick axle]

Yeah... that's the only saving grace it has, sadly,

[pastel lotus]

not sure if anyone cares about it using the speed duel format

[quick axle]

shrug

[pastel lotus]

meanwhile konami hq prepares the best way to sacrifice cross duel by q3 of this year

[quick axle]

Because it didn't meet expectations.

Live service games are a game of attention.

[pastel lotus]

multiverse games are wearing thin now

that alone was never going to sustain the game

[quick axle]

And also, we're out of worlds to make, save for Rush Duel, and that one has fundamentally different mechanics.

[dapper grotto]

Honestly the opposite, since I have a job. I hate the long turns MD has, but I still play it at home for daily gems kekW. DL has quicker ranked games(for the most part) so I can do it on the way to work.

[pastel lotus]

https://www.reddit.com/r/DuelLinks/comments/zj7gsm/duel_links_2023_character_predictions/

i think he will at least mention blue-eyes by name

https://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/movies/Yu-Gi-Oh-The-Dark-Side-of-Dimensions/Solomon-Muto

i think he might have flirtatous lines when dueling against anzu

he actually tried to put his arm around her iirc

[weak bough]

is grandpa muto out now?

[sleek garnet]

No, but the voicelines/sprites are

During the Battle Phase, if you take battle or effect damage: You can Special Summon this card from your hand. During either player's Battle Phase in which this card was Special Summoned by its effect, you can: Immediately after this effect resolves, Synchro Summon 1 Synchro Monster, using only WIND monsters you control, including this card. If this card is sent to the Graveyard as a Synchro Material: You can send the top card of your Deck to the Graveyard, and if the sent card was a "Speedroid" monster, the Synchro Monster that used this card as Synchro Material gains 1000 ATK.

Target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; change it to face-down Defense Position. Once per Chain, when a Trap Card is activated while this card is in your GY: You can Special Summon this card as a Normal Monster (Aqua/WATER/Level 2/ATK 1200/DEF 0). (This card is NOT treated as a Trap.) If Summoned this way, this card is unaffected by monster effects, also banish it when it leaves the field.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[white stirrup]

Ah

[sonic nimbus]

it's fine

just powercrept by Book of Moon tbh

[quick axle]

@half sphinx I knew this would happen.

So yeah, you can't use this alongside the newly released Orcustrated Babel, or even with Trickstar Light Stage.

For the record, the only Orcust cards missing are Crescendo and Girsu, which will probably be released down the line as a Limited 1.

[drowsy holly]

I know its slower but there's a quick play spell card that activates a field spell from your deck if your opponent special summons a monster, think that could work?

[quick axle]

That sounds like a niche and slow card, Licia.

[drowsy holly]

Fair, just tossing out ideas.

[quick axle]

Like, 1: You would need to set it on the field. 2. You need to hope that your opponent special summons a monster on their turn. 3. You need to hope that you would survive until the next turn, and that's not even thinking on the chance of your Field Spell being destroyed.

[half lance]

does anyone here have any sick ideas for an orcust skill to play that isn't just like three effects or something

I have a skill ticket expiring tomorrow

and I need to find something to use it on

[silk hatch]

[sleek garnet]

No

[silk hatch]

duel links in 2025 gonna be like 💀

[robust void]

terraforming is coming? that sounds kinda wack lol

[quick axle]

Limited 1, though.

You cannot use it with either Orcustrated Babel or Trickstar Light Stage, which, shock of all shocks, are also Limited 1.

[robust void]

the idea of needing more field consistency in a 20 card format is kind of absurd on its face though

[quick axle]

Also... Solfachords are kinda meta-ish?

[robust void]

especially since you're thinking the deck further

I think people would still run terra with limited fields

it's been done before

[weak bough]

in duel links cant you only have 1 limited card in the whole deck

[quick axle]

Correct.

Which is why I said: "You cannot use it with either Orcustrated Babel or Trickstar Light Stage, which, shock of all shocks, are also Limited 1."

As Terraforming will be Limited 1 too.

[robust void]

oh I completely forgot

it's been a while

[fallen kestrel]

Ayo solflare dragon and galaxy trance

Galaxy photon as an actual used deck?

[drowsy holly]

I mean wasn't Galaxy Photon tiered for awhile because of the skill?

[quick axle]

Yes

And now the skill sucks.

[fallen kestrel]

Galaxy was tiered cos of skill

Photon is a diff deck tho

[robust void]

s-force in DL will be meta relevant. calling it now

[brisk pawn]

It will

S-force will be the new meta but I think earthmachines infinitrack will topple

[dapper grotto]

Mmm...I'm gonna need to see some example boards for S-Force tbh

[robust void]

their board is rappa chiyomaru pass

not literally but

[pastel lotus]

speedroids will struggle to be relevant simply due their strategy being "make synchros" only

even though they have some graveyard effects, wind in the graveyard is nowhere as lucrative as light/dark in the graveyard

i think i tried teching in pachigokart into gimmick puppets before

waits patiently next year for wind witch

menkoat is the archetypal battle fader

[pastel lotus]

i really want to make clear wing with debris

don't know what fodderish lv 3 is the game though

menkoat is the only one that has obvious synergy with debris, and even then its only into a rank 4

It was Destiny.

sera's theme will always be op to me

yuto's theme was good sawatari's theme is really slamming with its jazzy instrumentation, anna's theme feels very energetic, yuzu has great mall music theme, crow's theme feels very relaxing, paradox's theme screams "this is sparta!", antinomy's theme always sounds climatic

does sugoroku have his own theme or no?

kc cup also produces great battle themes

[leaden warren]

Labrinth Builder my beloved. Rest in peace. No more funny Trishulas

they never actually future proofed the skill

[pastel lotus]

was grapha ever meta?

[quick axle]

Not even close.

Grapha came to the game too little, too late.

[pastel lotus]

did it need its dedicated set to be good?

its other archetypal pals

[quick axle]

Dark World is the definition of a P2L deck.

[robust void]

how have they still not coded the paradox brothers skill to be xenophobic to everything

how hard could it be

[pastel lotus]

destiny draw only got nerfed once iirc

and that's to make sure it only worked once per duel

dm characters are not strongly archetypal

[sleek garnet]

Ngl i find it pretty funny how lp boost alpha is used more than ddraw nowadays

[pastel lotus]

monster reborn is now an lifetime mission

defeat 30 monsters

great for latejoiners

[sleek garnet]

Ok so i just read justify

I can see why people are hyping up s force now

Nvm i thought both players were under the summon lock

This card sucks

[dapper grotto]

If that card was for both players, it would be insta-banned.

Oh wait. I suppose Kashtira exists lmao.

[pastel lotus]

is ground collapse too op for dl?

they never added it in

not even for npcs

[sleek garnet]

Yes

[robust void]

justifys negate is ok but i think its actually a harder sell in DL because it means you have to give up having total column control lol

but yea i remember my first time reading justify and being really confused

all it does is hurt you if you revive it. i guess s-force were just too powerful

[sleek garnet]

Diagonal up arrows are a bit of a bit because of extra links

Prayge for next event to have box chips.

[white stirrup]

1 Chip pro Event

I don't think they will be so generous to give us more

[quick axle]

I don't think so, either.

Also... what cards will be available to redeem?

[dapper grotto]

Probably gonna be like Dream tickets, all the boxes save for the last 5 most recent boxes.

At least, that's my hope it at least follows.

[robust void]

why add this when dream tickets already do this

[quick axle]

Because Konami, that's why.

[white stirrup]

Don't say that. You give them Ideas

Next they delete the Tickets

[quick axle]

They deleted the Kuriboh Tickets.

[white stirrup]

I do not remember those

[quick axle]

It was before your time.

There were those things called "Kuriboh Tickets" once per month, starting from the 24th of each month, in which you raised a Kuriboh by doing duels.

After getting a Kuriboh to the Sphere Kuriboh level, they had a S/U Ticket that you could redeem for a SR/UR Card from the drops list.

@dapper grotto probably remembers.

[dapper grotto]

Those were awful.

All that effort for a crappy prismatic ticket for a selection of event cards.

You basically "Raise" your Kuriboh by dueling each day.

And once it becomes Kuriborhn or whatever, it gives you a prismatic ticket for a job well done.

...which sucks ass for all the effort you did.

If it gave Dream Tickets, then it'd be worth it, but we don't live in that reality.

[sleek garnet]

Yea it got removed with arcv's launch

[quick axle]

It's not like your opponent can't break from the lock, you know.

[white stirrup]

Yeah by drawing the out

[quick axle]

Or... just... y'know, link the Iblee away, then NS something else to summon Knightmare Cerberus to destroy Ojama Knight.

[karmic crescent]

Ding will protect it

[sleek garnet]

Ding is there box

Yea

[quick axle]

Oh... Ding, right.

Ding protects monsters from being destroyed...

Which in that case... yeah, you would need to draw the out, like a Kaiju or something.

[white stirrup]

Provided you have a Link in your Deck......

[quick axle]

Yeeeeeah...

[silk hatch]

lol

[dapper grotto]

Finally got my 2nd Compulse. Might as well finish this second box to get the 2nd Galatea.

[quick axle]

I don't feel like getting back to the game yet.

[dapper grotto]

I'm finally not feeling the Ranked Duel burn now that I'm enjoying the new S-Force deck right now.

Or maybe it's because I'm in plat lol

[dapper grotto]

Hell, I even raise you the most recent addition; the new DM Winning theme: https://youtu.be/PoGT6f0i7rk

When it says certain boxes im guessing like the sales and u can only get cards of ur choice from old boxes like the 25 gem sales.

[white stirrup]

We did

[silk hatch]

nani

LMFAO it wasnt even that far up

[pastel lotus]

oh sweet

gx has its own losing theme now rather reborrowing the dm one

going hard on the bass i see

gx was my favorite anime series so i love this refreshment process its getting

i think gx was a phenomenal anime

it had good themes, settings, character and monster designs, and music

i think its only major flaws were yoshida writing (aka no one else is important but judai) and overreliance on brainwashing (manjoume got brainwashed in season 2 AND season 3)

it didn't introduce a new summoning method but it did go hard on effect fusion monsters, which i think is close enough

[sleek garnet]

Ngl

I wish the gx world had gotten a remix for impossible victory instead

[white stirrup]

I am guessing the easient way to summon Dysonsphere relativly reliable are Infinitracks right?

[young viper]

I need cards that let me send monsters from my deck or hand to the graveyard do any exist

[pastel lotus]

monster gate

snipe hunter discards cards as a cost

[sleek garnet]

Neos fusion

[silk hatch]

Dream tickets only go up to stage of trickstar?

[sleek garnet]

It depends on the ticket

[young viper]

No that won’t work will it to chain with miracle fusion?

[sleek garnet]

What?

Both are normal spells, they can't chain with anything

[young viper]

No I meant can I use neos fusion to send monsters to the graveyard to activate miracle fusion to summon flame wingman or another hero fusion monster

Is it worth it

[full spade]

For the rest of this turn after this card resolves, you cannot Special Summon monsters.

[quick axle]

Neos Fusion has to be literally the last card you activate.

Because it locks you down of Special Summons for the rest of the turn.

[drowsy holly]

It would help if you tell us what exactly you're trying to do.

[young viper]

I’m trying to be able to use miracle fusion when I have it without needing draw my hero mons

[drowsy holly]

I'd use the Vision HERO package then.

Vyon, Increase, and Faris.

[young viper]

Except my main mon is wingman it fuses burstinatrix and avian

[drowsy holly]

Well first of all Wingman is bad.

But second of all if you really feel the need to use it, I believe you can fuse bursinatrix and avian into Sunrise and use its effect to search miracle fusion and then summon wingman.

So there was a tweet confirming Odd-eyes Raging Dragon for maybe a future structure deck.

Prayge it reprints Sky Iris and Spiral Flame Strike.

Though kinda weird we're already getting Raging Dragon when we don't even have Selena or even Yuri yet.

[pastel lotus]

what's weird

dl releases things out of order all the time

sora being unlockable after yuto and reiji despite appearing earlier than either of them and even joined the kids as part of yusho duel juku

gx seven stars still having no dedicated battle sprites, mostly glossed over by duelist chronicles with recycled screenshots

not releasing yuya's synchros are kind of weird, but i guess they just want to hammering into that xyz hype while its still fresh

they already make enough dough from duel cosmetics and structure decks

no reason to keep injecting unneeded pngs into an already bloated game

still waiting for wind witches to hit the game

[white stirrup]

They could reuse the Icons from Duel Cross since it's dead now anyway lol

[pastel lotus]

i didn't know it had icons

its a unity game too right?

[weak bough]

i just think it'd be cool to have pharaoh over yami yugi, or number 96 instead of astral

[pastel lotus]

number 96 will have his own character slot even though he very much looks like a dark samus type character

he is also a minor antagonist

that lessens his chance significantly

[weak bough]

what would his deck even be? the malicvorous archetype with its 3 monsters

[pastel lotus]

yeah

[white stirrup]

Some Random Dark Level 2s too

[pastel lotus]

some characters have even less

looks at most dsod characters

[white stirrup]

Quintent had just 4 monsters that didn't even work together all that well

[pastel lotus]

darklon is a yuma card btw

number 96 dark mist was the first dark rebellion xyz dragon, effect-wise

[weak bough]

another skin could be the barian mode over the emperors

[pastel lotus]

number 96 technically also used ranked-up versions of faker's and tron's xyz monsters

they could do skins, but they are not going to

put it in the surveys tho

maybe it will happen

[weak bough]

i want them to put out more characters first but maybe one day

[pastel lotus]

umm no too many worlds

they never do more than 1 new character event per month

i am not sure how they even decide which character to release at this point

everything about dl's inhouse development is a complete mystery

typical japanese kaisha move

hi i chat more than lightbox

hope u don't mind

zexal form was not a yuma skin

it was the outcome of a skill

so based on that precedant, barian emperor forms will either be tied to a skill or be separate characters

probably when they actually start selling their rum the seventh one

alito, mizael, vector, durbe tbd

sugoroku mutou > marik ishtar

[sleek garnet]

I mean, these are different enough to get their own character slots, which is more profitable for konami anyway

[pastel lotus]

does anyone buy deck slots for characters?

its one more thing i forgot konami actually monetizes

https://tenor.com/view/vellian-crowler-gif-22835260

also my feel whenever i play on duelingnexus

[white stirrup]

No
I also don't buy them in MD even with the Gems
It's stupid to not make it just infinite but hey it's Komoney

[pastel lotus]

first answer

just what i expected

yeah most people can make do with 5 slots

[calm wolf]

[dapper grotto]

They rarely bring out new cosmetics for sale tbh. It's all free event cosmetics these days.

[weak bough]

anyone know if grandpa muto is gonna be an event reward that you gotta wait a few days before getting it is he just added as duel world DM missions

[pastel lotus]

its going to be event reward

remember normal carly got the boringest event ever

i think v will be interesting since he won't have a busted autopilot skill

since he didn't use an archetype

kozmo got assigned to him because its based on star wars, a sci-fi multimedia franchise

and he already plays outer space related cards

so thematically it fits

also can't wait to see dyson sphere's animation

never mind i see its already been posted

https://youtube.com/watch?v=nZL3PQKhE3g

the above is a darkness gimmick exclusive box card

5+4=9

[weak bough]

the first thing i did when i got quentin was summon dyson sphere

to see the animation

[peak mesa]

I have quasar but can't make a good. Deck of it

I need stardust warrior

[pastel lotus]

gasp!

it's dsod atem

he finally has a sprite!

[drowsy holly]

Hmm kind of low key want to make an exodia deck in duel links lol

[pulsar ferry]

LETS GOOOOOOOO!!

[white stirrup]

The GOAT

I can not wait for his unimpressive Level Up reward Cards that probably no one will ever use

Or are his rewards datamined too allready?

[drowsy holly]

Were they? 👀

[white stirrup]

Idk

Would be nice to know before hand though to not hype myself up too much lol

[quick axle]

Not until his unlock event.

[dapper grotto]

RIP, my Auto Duel Deck got slapped by this old man because he has "Obliterate!"

[quick axle]

Oof...

[white stirrup]

He said:

[weak bough]

exodia, obliterate!

[pastel lotus]

https://tenor.com/view/yugioh-gif-21839681

[pastel lotus]

does he get his own music?

the last dm world entrant didn't get that right? (ryuji otogi)

also is exodia a literal autopilot deck since you need the skill to even have the cards to win?

[sleek garnet]

Yes

[sleek garnet]

Define "autopilot"

[pastel lotus]

i don't want to argue with a drink

i think i am just going say exodia is an early era skill reliant deck versus stuff like resonator, synchron, phantom knights, etc

[sleek garnet]

If you're going by that metric, i guess it fits in

Since your whole deck revolves around your skill

[pastel lotus]

where the skill literally only supplied the cards and nothing else

[sleek garnet]

But your skill itself doesnt do much

[pastel lotus]

aka no free special summons

https://youtube.com/watch?v=xCKKB3LmziM

i love how dsod world is exempt from the music overhaul because its themes are already so darn good!

[sleek garnet]

Oh no

It did get an additional losing theme

[pastel lotus]

it did?!

[sleek garnet]

Yea

[pastel lotus]

it's this one

https://youtube.com/watch?v=a3zZRMdiohs

i luv how grandpa got his own pan flute-y sounding theme

https://youtube.com/watch?v=NyyjIm6BqJs

even yugi's friends didn't get their own exclusive themes

[sleek garnet]

Gives me old kung fu master vibes ngl

[pastel lotus]

i still like rei saotome's theme more

it has that vacation-y vibe also

also umm sugoroku's theme could totally pass for alito's theme imo

feels very bossa nova ish

[robust void]

what do you think compels them to not allow you to skip random event cutscenes

[sleek garnet]

Coding the skip button requires effort

[pastel lotus]

https://youtube.com/watch?v=Lm2vMm3rQto

why pegasus was evil

[white stirrup]

Do we might get Obliberate! as a Level Up Reward from Solomon?

[drowsy holly]

Ooooh

[drowsy holly]

hmm, I think after I get to 2k gems and saving the deals and stuff I should be okay to get clear wing when it comes out.

[pastel lotus]

i think in a year komoney will release this character for dsod

it'd be pointless but this is komoney we're talking about so...

[quick axle]

You know what else is pointless? DSoD Tristan.

[white stirrup]

When do we get DSoD Seras Avatar as a playable Character?

[pastel lotus]

p[reckless greed]

[vivid wave]

Reckless Greed

Effect

Draw 2 cards and skip your next 2 Draw Phases.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[pastel lotus]

there's also ryuji, who did appear in the movie

https://pancake-with-a-blog.tumblr.com/post/166857931349/otogi-ryuji-in-dark-side-of-dimensions-old-and

[quick axle]

A very minor character in DSoD, from what I can get. Heck, Tristan got more screentime than him.

I think? I haven't seen the movie.

[pastel lotus]

i realized dd is annoyong due to the fact it allows someone to completely bypass the randomization a deck is suppose to provide

for the same reason why too much search effects is well cancerous

i still remember when burn decks that could heal themselves could use dd mutiple times

[weak bough]

i forgot to put back row removal in quinton's deck and got dna surgery + insect barrier'd until i ran out of cards

[drowsy holly]

Oh yeah who the hell is Skud lol

[sleek garnet]

In case it's not a rethorical question

[indigo grail]

They always ask who is Skud

but never how is Skud

[sleek garnet]

School bully at yugi's high school, somehow still 18, apparently records cp according to duel links, tried to bully aigami and fucking died in the process

[indigo grail]

Plays Humpty Grumpty apparently

[mighty bramble]

I just got back into the game and I don’t know what to invest in

For reference I fell off around Raidraptors

[quick axle]

Oh dear...

Well... The new hotness are Orcusts.

[brisk pawn]

Who wants to duel

My BA deck has been itchin to put a beat down on people

[mighty bramble]

Yeah I was thinking of getting into them for curiosity sake

[dapper grotto]

It was a hell of a spend for me to get 2 Galatea...

But I guess that's the pains of investing in main boxes lol.

[pastel lotus]

i think for yugo's rewards they might cram in [shock surprise] or [synchro cracker] as the lower level rewards, then a bunch speedroids i don't care about because they aren't from the anime/manga for the lv 35 reward

[dapper grotto]

Still, the 2 Compulses were also necessary, so it's not like I was only going for Orcust.

[vivid wave]

Shock Surprise

Effect

Banish up to 2 "Speedroid" monsters from your Graveyard, then target that many cards on the field; destroy them.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[dapper grotto]

I'd god damn cry if they gave us crap like Synchro Cracker in his level-ups. I pray it's only in his farm rewards during his event.

[pastel lotus]

its komoney

when do they attempt to make you smile?

[dapper grotto]

As often as Yuya does.

[sleek garnet]

Tbf lvl rewards stated getting really good post arc v

[dapper grotto]

True that.

They at least are in-archetype to them besides outliers like Quinton.

[sleek garnet]

Sora practically gives you half his deck for free

Actually not even half

You miss what

[dapper grotto]

True, though the Frightfur Bear is a bit crap lol. But it is his "ace" so...

[sleek garnet]

The fusion spell you need one of, dog which is an sr

[dapper grotto]

Frightfur Fusion spell is a one-of I suppose.

But ye, other than that. One run of the box and you're set.

[pastel lotus]

ngl but dark rebellion was a 1:1 reproduction of the anime summoning one
