[pastel lotus]

so clear wing will probably be more of the same

will it be cooler than shooting star is the question

[dapper grotto]

Unfortunately, the 3D reproduction felt a bit jarring at times due to it being too smooth of an animation.

[pastel lotus]

so when can we expect the leak?

after 5/14?

update said middle of the month

I really do hope they package with him at least 1 [speedroid malicious magnet]

[vivid wave]

Speedroid Maliciousmagnet

Level: 1
[ Machine / Tuner / Effect ]

ATK 0 / DEF 0

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.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[drowsy holly]

Yeah I'm saving my gems for speedroids.

[dapper grotto]

Prayge they can stand up to Orcust.

Though you can always get some D.D. Crows.

[sleek garnet]

Lancea is better vs the deck tbh

[pastel lotus]

moments i wish expressroid was wind

[weak bough]

unfortunate that shooting quasar dragon doesn't have an animation

[pastel lotus]

they don't even celebrate character birthdays any more

judai birthdate: premium skyscraper and e hero flame wingman animation

yusei birthdate: premium junk berserker and junk warrior animation

if konami did then we might see an animation added for shooting quazar

its synchro sequence still looks cool though

dsod kaiba birthdate: alternative blue eyes dragon animation

still a shame sera and rei don't have summoning animation

they don't add unknown duelist because they rather have you play as actual sera

no masked aki or paradox either

[weak bough]

C32 shark drake veiss doesn't have one either

still hoping for the rest of the emperors and don thousand

[brisk pawn]

I need alito rn or I’m suing Konami

[weak bough]

also waiting for barian battle morph skill like zexal morph

[sonic nimbus]

do we even have official birthdates for Yuma/Yuya/Yusaku at all or na

[weak bough]

yuma tsukumo? i have something saying august 16

I used 1 voice line

[sleek garnet]

Man

I miss wgitg

[pastel lotus]

is there a reason to play ranked besides getting new ticket rewards?

[sleek garnet]

Gems

[weak bough]

i just want giant grinder man

[pastel lotus]

i totally remembered my dig through this box when it suddenly decided to give me a prismatic e hero grand neos

||i never paid cash for this game||

also i get my laptop charger in about a week hopefully my account is intact when i can finally get a windows installed laptop to become fully operational

i know for sure i am going to get the odd-eyes raging dragon either way

[fallen kestrel]

Odd eyes raging dragon giving raidraptor a win con

[pastel lotus]

how?

i thought you have to use the original dragons to get the effects?

[drowsy holly]

Nope

[sudden rapids]

I remember trying to get infinite machine, spending thousands of gems, then I gave up for a few weeks, then, with 4 packs, I got 2 of them.

Man how angry and happy I was

[dapper grotto]

[fallen kestrel]

Trance and Solflare in 11 packs

Now we praige for the dingy boi and the mandatory exit gadget

[pastel lotus]

i'd like to see [follow wing] getting packed with yugo

[vivid wave]

Follow Wing

Effect

Activate this card by targeting 1 Synchro Monster you control; it cannot be destroyed by battle or your opponent's card effects. At the start of the Damage Step, if it battles an opponent's Level 5 or higher monster: You can destroy that opponent's monster, and if you do, the targeted Synchro Monster gains ATK equal to the original ATK of the destroyed monster, until the end of this turn. When that monster leaves the field, destroy this card.

[mighty bramble]

What’s the next big event after DK

[pastel lotus]

unlock?

[ocean stone]

Any idea who is that

[pastel lotus]

the official twitter already shows

https://tenor.com/view/yugioh-arc-v-yu-gi-oh-yugo-d-wheel-duel-runner-gif-15967893

[white stirrup]

It's pretty obvious when you look at the 2 Speedroid Drops lol

[pastel lotus]

what was that counter trap card that was used with red-eyes in 2017? i can't remember the name since it was non-archetypal

found it, it was vigilance

[brisk pawn]

Is alito in duel links

[dapper grotto]

Nah.

We got some Battling Boxers tho.

[brisk pawn]

Damn, we need alito tho to make the deck meta

[quick axle]

You're running on too much

[brisk pawn]

Alito is my favorite barian though

Mans gives no f’s about numbers except getting Tori’s

[quick axle]

Sorry for breaking it to you. Unless DL gets the latest batch of support that Battlin' Boxer is getting, don't wait for a lot.

[brisk pawn]

Nooooooo

[white stirrup]

I am guessing Infernobles are a bit too much for DL now right?

[dapper grotto]

They better ban Smoke Screen of the thief if they release Infernobles.

Or limit it with another necessary Infernoble.

[ocean stone]

Guys I need help with the swimming in the abyss skill (Reginald shark kastle) the whole deck is lvl 4 water attribute,but still doesn't apply,what is wrong

[ocean stone]

Can u tell me the link or user

[full spade]

Wym apply

[ocean stone]

Nvm

[ocean stone]

Like to activate

[sleek garnet]

Do you have 10 or more level 4 or more water monsters in your deck

[ocean stone]

Yes

[ocean stone]

Yugo unlock event (synchro version of Yuya at ARC-V)

[fallen kestrel]

Is tgat cornfirmed?

[sleek garnet]

Yes

[fallen kestrel]

Funny bicycle man with glass dragon

[silk hatch]

any official release date for box chip?

[pastel lotus]

guess we're out of topics

[ocean stone]

Can I post videos here

[quick axle]

Probably a question for the mods.

[ocean stone]

About a gameplay of duel links

My gameplay

[quick axle]

Again, a question for the mods, really.

[weak bough]

i also got my first dreary doll in these packs

finally, after this 10 i had 40 boxes left

[white stirrup]

Honestly most of the Time Grinder isn't really that worth it to make but man if it doesn't look cool

[weak bough]

i just wanted it there in case someone used an xyz

and i dont have to use the skill

[quick axle]

You know what DARK Machine monster is better than this guy? Dingirsu.

[vivid wave]

Dingirsu, the Orcust of the Evening Star

Rank: 8
[ Machine / Xyz / Effect ]

ATK 2600 / DEF 2100

Effect

2 Level 8 monsters
You can only Special Summon "Dingirsu, the Orcust of the Evening Star(s)" once per turn. You can also Xyz Summon this card by using an "Orcust" Link Monster you control as material. If a card(s) you control would be destroyed by battle or card effect, you can detach 1 material from this card instead. If this card is Special Summoned: You can activate 1 of these effects;
●Send 1 card your opponent controls to the GY.
●Attach 1 of your banished Machine monsters to this card as material.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[quick axle]

Same Rank, better statline, better effects altogether.

[white stirrup]

That's what I mean lol

If Grinder got made today he would have the first effect as a Quick Effect and his Stats would be swithed

[silk hatch]

Trunade really needs to be off the banlist

to limit 1

[quick axle]

Not really, Trunade promotes unhealthyness in the metagame.

Most decks would love to have at least 1 Trunade.

[mighty bramble]

What does S-Force even do

[white stirrup]

Column based Blocking of certain actions such as Card effect activation or Battle Position changeing

[sleek garnet]

[Justify] pass

[vivid wave]

S-Force Justify

Rating: Link-3 (↖⬆↗)
[ Cyberse / Link / Effect ]

ATK 2600

Effect

3 Effect Monsters, including an "S-Force" monster
You cannot Summon/Set monsters to a zone(s) this card points to. (Quick Effect): You can target 1 face-up Effect Monster your opponent controls; negate its effects until the end of this turn, then you can move that opponent's monster to their Monster Zone this card points to. You can only use this effect of "S-Force Justify" once per turn. At the start of the Damage Step, if this card attacks: You can banish all monsters this card points to.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[dapper grotto]

You mean multi S-Force monsters and Chase pass.

I don't think many people even use Justify that often unless they really need that negate or banish by battle. xd

[mighty bramble]

I just never heard of them before I saw they were in the game

[midnight fable]

yugo soon!

[mighty bramble]

What’s maintenance for

[drowsy holly]

Yugo I guess?

[indigo grail]

Fusion with the game

[pastel lotus]

holy $*%# the game has gotten massive

still no idea if the 985 means megabytes, but damn that's huge

[karmic crescent]

it's nowhere close to 985 megabytes

[pastel lotus]

and its working off of a slow connection

[karmic crescent]

it's several gigabytes

it's just package count

[pastel lotus]

what package count?

how much is in one package?

i am getting my car pillow to powernap

[karmic crescent]

who knows, they just package updates separately in order to facilitate updates

it's easier to look at what packages are downloaded than to check every hash of every file on your system

it would be very inefficient to update otherwise

[pastel lotus]

how do i use character tickets again?

[white stirrup]

Yugos Theme is pretty good

[drowsy holly]

Nice, do we know his rewards yet?

[dapper grotto]

It's the Speedroid car turbo and Kitedrake.

Pretty decent.

[sleek garnet]

CHAT

YUGO'S LOANER DECK HAS CRYSTAL WING

THIS IS NOT A DRILL, WE ARE GETTING CRYSTAL WING

[white stirrup]

Don't loaner Decks have cards we don't get too?

[quick axle]

Probably as a Limited 1 bundle in a new box.

[sleek garnet]

They usually don't

Terrortop is aslo in the deck as a one of, might be either a lvl up reward or a bundle card

[quick axle]

I'd say that it's probably a level up card for Yugo, and it will be Limited 1 on release.

[sleek garnet]

I mean

I dont think it needs to be limited

1 terrortop alone does not justify you being able to play it generically

[quick axle]

We'll see how it goes.

[pastel lotus]

i'm back

now gotta go through lots of rewards/event start screens

yugo!!!

this was one of my best decks before links

very piecemeal but fun

working my way out of rookie now

[hasty delta]

SYNCHRO FANS HOW WE FEELIN

[white stirrup]

Not a Fan of Speedroids personally

Just don't like the Aesthetic

[hasty delta]

tbh aesthetic is secondary to mechanics for me but like. thats fair

[fallen kestrel]

THE ROID IS SPEEDY TODAY PEOPLE

[pastel lotus]

herein lies the proud and glorious synchro dimension

[fallen kestrel]

Stage 30

[pastel lotus]

the game still don't let you pick your zones

rofl

dueling nexus so did that

[quick axle]

Actually, you need to enable the setting.

By default it won't let you pick the zones, unless you enable the option.

[pastel lotus]

oh ok will check options menu when i am through with work

yusei played stall and junk

i so thought junk archetype was bad and i went like why is the mc playing junk cards? (besides being too poor to buy good cards)

but now i know its mostly for thematic significance

he scrapes junk cards off the ground and makes them good

[weak bough]

never picked that up while watching 5Ds that's cool

my first max level character

[pastel lotus]

yusei anime deck: uses " junk", "synchron", monster whose names end in "warrior", and a bunch of miscellaneous stuff that don't fit in the aforementioned 3 groups (road runner, effect veiler, saviour dragon, debris dragon)

[white stirrup]

You only realized that now?

It's pretty on the nose tbh

[pastel lotus]

yuya anime deck: uses "entermate", "magician", "odd-eyes", and a bunch of miscellaneous stuff

arc-v really takes after 5d's

anyways both builds are terrible consistancy-wise if actually built to anime ratios

it can be said all mcs run mishmash decks (stares at judai)

[quick axle]

A bit of a shame that the ending of Arc-V pretty much ruined any good will that series had (in the eyes of a lot of people), and believe it or not? the manga ending of Arc-V is even worse.

[white stirrup]

Yes

I also don't like a lot of Archetypes it spawned
I only really like DDDs, Phantom Knights and Abyssactors

It also threw it in my Face that they use Orbs way too much on Dragons lol

[Starving venom]

[vivid wave]

Starving Venom Fusion Dragon

Level: 8
[ Dragon / Fusion / Effect ]

ATK 2800 / DEF 2000

Effect

2 DARK monsters on the field, except Tokens
If this card is Fusion Summoned: You can make this card gain ATK equal to 1 opponent's Special Summoned monster, until the end of this turn. Once per turn: You can target 1 Level 5 or higher monster your opponent controls; until the End Phase, this card's name becomes that monster's original name, and replace this effect with that monster's original effects. If this Fusion Summoned card is destroyed: You can destroy all your opponent's Special Summoned monsters.

[weak bough]

oh boy arc-v is next on my watch of all the yugioh anime and the first ive never seen, sounds like i shouldnt get my hopes up

[white stirrup]

It's a Show that exists

It has some good stuff in it though

Like Earthbounds being cool again

And Ancient Gears

[weak bough]

its the show with sylvio right?

[white stirrup]

Yup

[sleek garnet]

Arc v is weird because the first half is honestly pretty good by yugioh anime standards

But then the series takes a nosedive after the second half since during that time period most of the staff was reassigned to make the dark side of dimensions movie

[drowsy holly]

Arc V had pretty much all of my favorite archetypes.

But also fuck yeah we're getting crystal wing :D

[pastel lotus]

has anyone managed to datamine yugo's skills?

[sleek garnet]

Yes

It's up on dlm

[pastel lotus]

i just want to know if he has an "add cwsd and 2 tuners of speedroid to your deck" type of skills just like all the 5d's character

maybe i check gamea, dont want to give HIM too much web traffic

i wonder if it will get splashed in harpies?

time to pack poisonous winds or soundproof if the surge of speedroids becomes high

[pastel lotus]

orient dragon sadly doesn't banish cwsd without further effect negates, but fits in speedroid deck anyways for being a generic wind if you aren't using stardust charge warrior instead

cwsd is also fodder to book, chain, other relevant magic and trap effects ect

junk giant might make a good synchro fodder since it makes sure your synchro doesn't get yeeted on summon

[sonic nimbus]

1 of Yugo's skills pretty much enables a t1 Crystal Wing

dunno how good Crystal Wing would be in MD but I'm guessing it'd be very good

[pastel lotus]

i find it rather surprising how much mirror force sees use in lower tiers

its bad but only 1 main phase bumps up the useful of trap card effects in general, and is still moderately devastating against decks that have little to no floating

even though it has lots of outs to it its still being played

that and its just prime newb bait in general and can be a placeholder for much more coveted staples and is practically unmissable obtainability-wise

battle traps aren't bad in duel links, despite the lingering mindset from tcg fans

unless you are up against metal sculptures: the deck

antique gears

[sleek garnet]

I mean, the best deck atm is literally orcust with knightmare mermaid

[pastel lotus]

so?

mirror force is good because it curbs the swarming?

i don't use series 10 cards in general so i have no ideas how orcust works

[sleek garnet]

[Dingirsu]

[vivid wave]

Dingirsu, the Orcust of the Evening Star

Rank: 8
[ Machine / Xyz / Effect ]

ATK 2600 / DEF 2100

Effect

2 Level 8 monsters
You can only Special Summon "Dingirsu, the Orcust of the Evening Star(s)" once per turn. You can also Xyz Summon this card by using an "Orcust" Link Monster you control as material. If a card(s) you control would be destroyed by battle or card effect, you can detach 1 material from this card instead. If this card is Special Summoned: You can activate 1 of these effects;
●Send 1 card your opponent controls to the GY.
●Attach 1 of your banished Machine monsters to this card as material.

do yall think its worth buying a second copy of the new pend structure deck

[dapper grotto]

I bought it just for the icon.

Shame they didn't reprint Spiral Flame Strike, but whatever.

[sleek garnet]

I'm honestly a bit disappointed by them not reprinting the xiang magicians

Seems like a perfect fit in the sd

[dapper grotto]

They only reprinted the Xiangshen one.

The one we don't even need lol.

[sleek garnet]

Oh

Lmao

[dapper grotto]

Not like the SD would matter anyway. The deck still seems to be the same as ever.

But we'll have to let the other Odd brains cook to see, I suppose.

[shrewd sun]

Just now checking out DL for the first time in like 4 years. There's just no downside to raging pendulum?

I can't imagine it's good, but you can just make rebellion free every t1?

[sleek garnet]

Yes

[shrewd sun]

Might have to play magicians then

Deck seems fun

All I need is 3 of both SDs, yeah?

is Arc Pendulum in the game?

[weak bough]

#DuelReplay #DuelLinks
https://duellinks.konami.net/att/06619ad9c54bf37430bfd323d2d6570ec9ccf4aa61

i'm confused, why didn't he win with leo?

[sleek garnet]

yes

[sleek garnet]

no

https://www.duellinksmeta.com/top-decks/meta-weekly/277/odd-eyes/joshfishyg/vmpD1

this is the average odd eyes build rn

so staples aside, you need to open 3 different boxes aside from the sd

one for spiral strike, one for nobledragon + meteorburst, and another for xiangke

DL odd eyes is somehow more expensive than hero for some reason

also you dont play a single card from the first sd released

[shrewd sun]

Wait I thought ED was 5 slots?

Threw this together from the SD

Seems tolerable for now

[sleek garnet]

you get a slot for each summoning mechanic you do 10 times

1 for synchro, 1 for xyz, and 1 for links

[shrewd sun]

I guess I'll make changes as I get the cards

But 3 pendulum call seems solid

[sleek garnet]

yea it does look bad

prioritize getting flame strikes

the synchro stuff you can get with dream tickets

[shrewd sun]

Gotcha

[sleek garnet]

xiangke is also in the same box as volo

[shrewd sun]

I was opening the new box for Orcust

[sleek garnet]

if you get compulse you can use that in of the staple slots

also play the xiangke skill when you get it

[shrewd sun]

I think that's the one I'm using

[sleek garnet]

it isnt

the old one gives you free scales if you open og odd eyes

[shrewd sun]

Gotcha

But yeah, Raging Dragon Turbo seems passible

Go 2nd and kill them

[sleek garnet]

yea it's probably playable

[shrewd sun]

Is the skill Xiangke and Xiangshing?

[sleek garnet]

yes

[shrewd sun]

Because I just got it

[sleek garnet]

it's unusable if you dont actually own xiangke

so save that one for a bit

[shrewd sun]

Ah

Raging Pend for now then

[sleek garnet]

also might be worth waiting just to see if the new skill is better than the old one

[shrewd sun]

I mean it makes it so you're always able to make Raging with literally no downsides

[sleek garnet]

no one labs dl stuff beforehand so who knows

[shrewd sun]

Seems kinda silly ngl

What other stuff should I be prioritizing?

Unlocking characters?

[sleek garnet]

yea, grind gems via lvl up rewards

[shrewd sun]

Gotcha

[sleek garnet]

btw

grind tetsu trudge first

[shrewd sun]

Which world is that

[sleek garnet]

montage dragon is gonna be your quickest way of farming for lvl ups if you want to no life

5ds

he's the cop guy

[shrewd sun]

Ah gotcha

So back when I played, you just put all the meta decks on Keith for mulligan

Is that still true?

[sleek garnet]

not quite

decks kinda revolve around archetypal skills now

[shrewd sun]

Ah gotcha

I'm assuming none of my old decks are good anymore?

D-Hero, Sylvans, Aroma, and Slash Turbo

[sleek garnet]

heroes are salvageable

but otherwise, no not really

[shrewd sun]

Damn

Slash Turbo was a fun meta

[sleek garnet]

this is the meta rn basically

[shrewd sun]

Solfachord

Oh nice

[sleek garnet]

yea solfa can use the skill United Pendulum pretty well

[shrewd sun]

I feel like there's no way this skill isn't good

I can just let the opponent do whatever t1, then any t2 hand is a free rebellion into raging

Blow up their board, then OTK

[sleek garnet]

i mean

the competition IS fp orcust

[shrewd sun]

True

Actually...

What's the concern, Ding?

[sleek garnet]

ding, yea

[shrewd sun]

He chumps the nuke

But he can't survive getting ran over by raging

I'd have to see how it plays out

But Raging might just be enough going second

[sleek garnet]

pk can negate raging with requiem, resonators can red reign you

[shrewd sun]

Huh

Might not be the best then

But the idea seems solid

[sleek garnet]

yea

[shrewd sun]

Very much a one-trick deck tho

[sleek garnet]

oh, forgot to mention

chronomaly is a rogue option in this format

they have the dama support

[shrewd sun]

Oh damn

[sleek garnet]

they also have utopia the lightning going second

[shrewd sun]

Yeah I got a UTL somewhere

How far on the ladder can I get with a bad deck?

Because this deck is gimmicky as hell and I wanna know how far on ranked it'll take me

[sleek garnet]

you cant rank down before legend

so legend 1 is the starting point

getting KoG still needs you to win 5 games in a row tho

btw, dark magician is super popular on ladder

so be aware of that

[shrewd sun]

Is DM bad here?

Also, DM can't out raging OTK lmao

[sleek garnet]

not really

[shrewd sun]

Raging just blows up their eternal soul

[sleek garnet]

https://www.duellinksmeta.com/top-decks/anytime/61/dark-magician/kogphenom/aiFjM

btw

[shrewd sun]

Oh they don't run it

[sleek garnet]

they cant eternal soul on your turn

since the skill locks you out of that lmao

[shrewd sun]

Decks seem expensive tho

Is the game more or less f2p friendly now?

[sleek garnet]

debateable

[shrewd sun]

Oh no

[sleek garnet]

some decks are accessible as a f2p

like solfa, pk, and reso

some are just lmao tho

dm got 90% of their core in a sd

so you just need to pull for apprentice which is in a good box

[shrewd sun]

I guess I'll try and build Solfa, PK, and Reso then

And not Orcust

[sleek garnet]

pk should be cheap if you have the old stuff funnily enough

[shrewd sun]

Is it?

[sleek garnet]

kinda, yea

lemme grab a list

https://www.duellinksmeta.com/top-decks/community-tournaments/main-phase/168/orcust/dariusar/rIW1-

fortress is just a tech

skyblaster and recycler are event cards

the knightmares are all in the same box

staples are staples

[quick axle]

Skyblaster drops from Jesse, Scrap Recycler from Espa Roba, IIRC.

[sleek garnet]

for the other decks, solfa is all in the same mini box, pk is 90% in a minibox, and requiem which you play 1 is in a separate box, but that isnt that hard to get

resonator is a bit more spread out tho

since each rda is in a different box

https://www.duellinksmeta.com/top-decks/community-tournaments/main-phase/169/resonators/zzz/HicyA

[shrewd sun]

What should I be using my UR tickets on?

[sleek garnet]

staples

or stuff in old boxes you dont want to open

[shrewd sun]

There's only specific cards in them

[sleek garnet]

oh

you mean non dream tickets, mb

[shrewd sun]

I can get chronamly heads lmao

[sleek garnet]

just get whatever, they only have event drops from them

plus you get a bunch of them

[shrewd sun]

Chronamaly heads then?

[sleek garnet]

sure lmao

[shrewd sun]

There we go, got 3 maoi

[sleek garnet]

chronomaly is reasonably cheap too, vinama in in the orcust box

you only need 3 nebra disk for old stuff

[shrewd sun]

Should I use my character tickets now or wait?

[sleek garnet]

and utopia comes in a structure deck

[shrewd sun]

I can't get many characters rn

[sleek garnet]

if you get everyone before the ticket expires you get 50 gems

not that many but characters arent hard to unlock

[shrewd sun]

Ah gotcha

[sleek garnet]

you might just want to use it to unlock a cumbersome character to unlock tho

scud needs you to banish 100 opponent cards, sylvio asks for 100.000 cumulative post duel score in the arcv world

[shrewd sun]

I see that grass got banned

Apparently I was playing grass crystal beasts at some point

[sleek garnet]

lmao

btw, crafting got leaked earlier this month

nothing came out of it yet and konami deleted some assets, so they might've scrapped it

but do keep it in mind

[shrewd sun]

Wow Yusei's Starter Deck is ASS

[sleek garnet]

also, old boxes are currently in a 50% sale with gems

everything before the first zexal box

[shrewd sun]

Anything of note?

[sleek garnet]

staples like cosmic cyclone

needle ceiling

some old archetypes

tth

harp horror

[shrewd sun]

Harp Horror?

[sleek garnet]

yea

it's in the spirit bewd box

as an SR

[shrewd sun]

Why

[sleek garnet]

links werent out yet so the card did nothing

and they decided to drag the synchro era by another year at the time so they were struggling to find cards to add

[quick axle]

The most Harp Horror did was some fringe Desperado decks.

[sleek garnet]

goukis are also in an old box

some resonator stuff too

artifact lancea

[quick axle]

But Gouki got hit hard.

[sleek garnet]

forbidden lance and chalice

some generic synchros

the omni heroes

which you run because the hero skill lets you add super poly

quintet magician which dm likes to run sometimes

tetherwolf and trifortresstops for cope orcust builds

some d/d/d cards

and that should be about it

oh yea

forgot to add

thunder dragonhawk and chaos dragon levianeer

[drowsy holly]

If you want a good cheap deck that will work for ladder yosenju is really REALLY cheap.

[sleek garnet]

i mean

kama 1 is in a different box than kama 2 and 3

and the mayosenjus are in a different box from those

[drowsy holly]

You don't need those though. You can run the pendulums and it's actually really good.

[sleek garnet]

fair enough

anyway licia you have 5 seconds to answer

do i gamble in the super mini to see if i get a crackdown or a miracle fusion?

[drowsy holly]

no

[sleek garnet]

fair enough

[drowsy holly]

Use the ticket you get later this week!

[sleek garnet]

thing is tho

i want to save the ticket for something else

like, idk, my 3rd sunrise

or a lancea

fuck it, if i get my second galatea early i'm gambling

[shrewd sun]

So should I be opening Pulse of the Quasars or the Orcust one?

Pulse seems right, yeah? Since it's got all the Solfachord cards at low rarity

[sleek garnet]

yea

you need 3 cutia tho

which is a SR

[shrewd sun]

Got my first Cutia

And a red Reign

[sleek garnet]

oh yea btw i fucking lied i forgot how expensive reso was if you dont get the random rdas scattered around

[shrewd sun]

So I need to get RDAs

Oh right, I pulled Kurikara Divincarnate

Any use for her?

[sleek garnet]

ehhhhhhhhhhhh

in the future maybe

we arent at the point of mass monster disruption tho

btw, did you know that drnm is in the game?

[shrewd sun]

Really?

[sleek garnet]

yea

it's awful in dl's format

but it's there

[shrewd sun]

Lmao

[sleek garnet]

d.d. crow, lancea, and droll are also legal in dl

crow saw recent play because of salad, lancea sees play right now because of orcust, and droll is waiting mode

[shrewd sun]

Wait Scar Warrior is in the game

Isn't he an anime card

[sleek garnet]

yea

dl has stuff that was present in tag force games

like for example

p[double ripple (duel links)]

[vivid wave]

Double Ripple (Duel Links)

Effect

Send 2 face-up monsters you control to the Graveyard (1 Tuner and 1 non-Tuner), whose total Levels equal 7, then Special Summon both 1 "Power Tool Dragon" and 1 "Ancient Fairy Dragon" in Defense Position from your Extra Deck.

F/L Status: Unreleased (TCG/OCG)

[mighty bramble]

Is she good

[sleek garnet]

depends on the format

usually not tho

[mighty bramble]

On another note how do you get out Raging Dragon to use its effect

[sleek garnet]

The new skill makes it easy

Or you can use the xiangke and xiangsheng magicians

[mighty bramble]

I meant normally

[sleek garnet]

Those are the only 2 ways since normally you can't xyz summon with an xyz monster

[mighty bramble]

I was thinking a Rank-Up card could be used but maybe not

[sleek garnet]

I mean, you could

You can use the pk rank up magic on a rank 6 monster

[mighty bramble]

That’s what I was thinking lol

[mighty bramble]

Btw if I were to use these for a Yuya deck how many of each are required

[sleek garnet]

Most lists run 2 xiangke and 1 xiangsheng, but you could run just 1 xiangke

Or you could just use the new skill, raging pendulum

[mighty bramble]

Gotcha

Well now the issue would be what the deck would look like

Are there any examples I can use

[pastel lotus]

cards are only good when you can craft a consistant strategy from their effects/ability to be fodder for x summoning methods/handtrap abilities

new skill always cuts out the mental gymnastics needed for x boss monster to function

just need to follow its long deckbuilding guidelines

[mighty bramble]

Yeah I just need pointers for that

[pastel lotus]

someone will get to it eventually

playing against invoked player rn

is cocytus unbanned?

[sonic nimbus]

nope

[pastel lotus]

i won

using paradox rn cause he's my favorite character

second choice is rio but i realized i love big easy to ss dragon beatsticks more

i have dimension slice set

gg

can't attack my level 4s

[pastel lotus]

my word i just got compulsory!

only bought the box 4 times

[fallen kestrel]

Damn

I got solflare and trance in like 9 packs

[drowsy holly]

This is so funny how my ra farm deck still works on Yugo lol

[pastel lotus]

he only has 1 of cwsd

paradox can even steal it (but needs to wait until 3rd/4th turn AND click skill button before using any cards)

[drowsy holly]

Yeah lol

Well even then Clear Wing doesn't work on Ra

[pastel lotus]

work on what

[drowsy holly]

Effects can't be activated on Ras summon, and that's when you get the attack boost.

[pastel lotus]

oh the first effect?

[drowsy holly]

mmhmm, only effect matters.

You use spirit barrier and astral barrier to stall with neo spacian bird to gain a stupid high amount of life points, and swing on the last turn.

[pastel lotus]

is dimension slice worth running with raging?

in theory it seems good

free banish

[pastel lotus]

i think dimension slice also activates when you get kaiju'd on your field since it doesn't say the monster ss'd on your field had to be ss'd by your own efforts

[weak bough]

it's a nice touch that activating the effect of "yubel" while playing as yubel she says "i activate my effect" instead of "my monster's effect"

[pastel lotus]

i can't get v or shun with tickets

why?

oh i get it, they aren't relegated to being gate duelists yet

[quick axle]

Yeah, Quinton and Shay still don't have their repeat event.

[pastel lotus]

how do i get terraforming?

how is this deck holding up?

the synchros be just filler

i put de-spell since i just hate magicians' circle

[quick axle]

IIRC, Terraforming is on a Limited 1 bundle pack.

[pastel lotus]

can i get using dream ticket?

[quick axle]

No.

[pastel lotus]

shoooot

[quick axle]

Terraforming is on the store, you can either get it with gems, or money. It comes with like 17 packs of the latest box.

[pastel lotus]

they all cost 950 gems

pretty exorbitant

[quick axle]

And gems are a valuable resource, so... yeah.

[pastel lotus]

typical komoney tactics

[quick axle]

I consider that DL is way too P2W for my tastes.

[pastel lotus]

yeah

but i am still going at it with my favorites

[quick axle]

Sure, knock yourself out.

(I mean it in a good way.)

[pastel lotus]

i understand figure of speech

are of those starter sets just one card and some cosmetics that basically serves as buyer's proof?

[quick axle]

Starter Sets? Which ones? Remind me with a screnshot.

[pastel lotus]

those 950 gems set

called starter course in japanese

[quick axle]

The 950 gem bundles with a specific 1 of pack that are exclusive to that pack, are not starter sets.

[pastel lotus]

950 gems is not that far from 1000 yen

[quick axle]

Those would be the ones that have a copy of old staple cards, like Paleozoic Canadia, Mirror Wall, Floodgate Trap Hole...

[pastel lotus]

17 times 50 is 850

so basically you already buy the 17 packs then 100 gems more for the advertised stuff

[quick axle]

Sounds like Komoney.

[pastel lotus]

i quitted before they dud this

[quick axle]

Make it sound like a deal when it isn't.

Which is kinda why I migrated to Master Duel.

Sure, the game has barebones solo content, but hey, at least if I know what I'm doing, I can build a deck without paying a single cent.

My current deck in MD is Tearlaments Ishizu. Knowing that Tear was inevitable, I invested on the Ishizu cards, knowing it would pay off in the long run, and then I fully invested on Tears when they came in.

But that's besides the point.

[pastel lotus]

i haven't seen anyone on ranked using those premium cards yet

i think only online tourneys players really bought those

aka one for one, super, reinforcement

[quick axle]

Yeah, mostly of the better ranked players would invest on those when the time is right.

But probably you won't care too much about the meta stuff.

[pastel lotus]

i only want terraforming because the deck i am using now absolutely need field spell

but putting in 3 or 4 doesn't feel that bricky

[quick axle]

But that costs gems, so... yeeeeeeeeah.

Seriously, with so many boxes, I feel it's kinda easy to waste your gems if you don't know what you're doing.

[pastel lotus]

the newest sd is free at least

free drxd for all

i am still going to consider it graceful charity

harharhar

is number 104: giant hand a good rank 4 xyz?

what is it used for? stun?

[quick axle]

https://www.duellinksmeta.com/cards/Number 106%3A Giant Hand

You can check in DLM each card and in the statistics below, it shows in which decks is more often used.

Despite being meta dedicated, I think it's a good resource for stuff like this.

@pastel lotus Please don't take it in a bad way. I know you don't care about meta stuff, I'm just trying to be helpful.

[shrewd sun]

It's probably just because I'm in bronze, but so far raging turbo has just ran over everything in sight

When I get my skullcrobat jokers it's over

[quick axle]

Bronze and Silver are small potatoes. Most of those tiers are filled with unexperienced people that don't know an inkling about deck building.

Surprisingly, Rookie can be harder than Bronze, since there can be some laidback old players with good decks that haven't played Ranked in awhile.

Gold is where you start seeing slightly better decks, Platinum is harder than Gold. Legend, though? That one is going to put your skills to test.

But overall, if you have a good deck, getting to KoG shouldn't be too hard.

[fallen kestrel]

Bro bronze is actually something

Half the decks are 30 card brick machines

And the other half are like dlm decks

[shrewd sun]

Yeah that's kinda what I figured

Ayy pulled a scarlight and got the solfachord link. I'm getting there

[quick axle]

@shrewd sun I may not be playing, but I still know a thing or two about Duel Links.

[shrewd sun]

Yeah that's how it goes in most online tcgs as is

I'm just getting back into it and all I've got is Raging Dragon beatdown

[pastel lotus]

bronze is still time consuming to hop out of ngl

silver 2 now

[silk hatch]

What shouls i get with dream

I have 2x bom 2x lance

[shrewd sun]

Cosmic cyclone?

[silk hatch]

1x

should i get that or warning point

[shrewd sun]

Probably that I guess? I dunno, I'm new to DL

[dapper grotto]

https://youtu.be/rxJMI1CnX28

That is a spicy build if I've ever seen one.

[indigo grail]

Angy Dragon

[pastel lotus]

salt

honestly a lot of thinga about this game and komoney itself makes people rage

but i have to say, 80's konami really knew how to make great games and tunes

gradius ii has one of the best soundtracks i have ever heard

also i am glad we got synchro boy before fusion girl

fusion is cancerous

crimson fox enables kos if you didn't pack forbidden scripture

[pastel lotus]

i found i actually own [odd-eyes rebellion dragon] on my account

[vivid wave]

Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon

Rank: 7 | Pendulum Scale: 4
[ Dragon / Xyz / Pendulum / Effect ]

ATK 3000 / DEF 2500

Pendulum Effect

Once per turn, if you have no cards in your other Pendulum Zone: You can place 1 Pendulum Monster from your Deck in your Pendulum Zone.

Effect

2 Level 7 Dragon monsters
If you can Pendulum Summon Level 7, you can Pendulum Summon this face-up card in your Extra Deck. If this card is Xyz Summoned by using an Xyz Monster as material: Destroy as many Level 7 or lower monsters your opponent controls as possible, and if you do, inflict 1000 damage to your opponent for each card destroyed, also this card can make 3 attacks during each Battle Phase this turn. If this card in the Monster Zone is destroyed by battle or card effect: You can destroy as many cards in your Pendulum Zones as possible (min. 1), and if you do, place this card in your Pendulum Zone.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[pastel lotus]

which one is the better xyz pendulum?

i see raging actually negates stuff

[shrewd sun]

Raging is a nuke that can swing for like 6k

[pastel lotus]

too bad we still don't have [dragoncaller magician]

[vivid wave]

Dragoncaller Magician

Level: 7 | Pendulum Scale: 2
[ Spellcaster / Pendulum / Effect ]

ATK 2400 / DEF 1000

Pendulum Effect

Once per turn: You can target 1 face-up monster on the field; it becomes Dragon-Type until the end of your opponent's turn (even if this card leaves the field).

Effect

Once per turn: You can make this card become Dragon-Type until the end of this turn. A monster that was Fusion, Synchro, or Xyz Summoned using this card on the field as Material gains this effect.
●If this card battles a Dragon-Type monster, this card's ATK becomes double its original ATK during the Damage Step only.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[pastel lotus]

ok i looked up raging's effect

it doesn't negate the effects of other cards like in the anime

basically raging destroys more stuff than rebellion can and gains attack points per card destroyed

https://youtube.com/watch?v=vlBLL6YFp08

whoosh

https://tenor.com/view/yu-gi-oh-arc-v-yuto-yugo-d-wheel-duel-runner-gif-19053148

vehicular assault has never looked so good

[mighty bramble]

Ngl even though I’d be In Rookie I’m nervous about going into PvP

[silk hatch]

S force or PK?

[mighty bramble]

PK why

[silk hatch]

I wondeing which i shouls buils

Pk seems to be falling off though

Imo

[pastel lotus]

i get the feeling there is a lot of magic cylinder floating around

it might be time to pack life harmonizer or junkuriboh as techs now

[white stirrup]

First time Junkuriboh will ever be used

I am happy for him

Kinda weird Yusei has the least useful Kuriboh of all MCs

And it doesn't even have a effect relating to Synchros

[sleek garnet]

Pk has a good chunk of support missing (bardiche, fog blade, the cards from phantom rage) and is still a solid tier 3 contender, s force is missing 4 cards, one of which isn't even in the tcg yet, and is rogue at best, plus pk could get a new skill any time konami desires, s force doesn't have that benefit

Imo, pk is not only the best answer for now, but in the long term as well

Btw

Unrelated but we got a banlist update

[fallen kestrel]

Funny twiangle

[quick axle]

@sleek garnet Konami REALLY hates stall.

[drowsy holly]

Given how great of a tuner that is I get it lol

[sleek garnet]

Oh yea btw

We got 1 terrortop in level ups

[sleek garnet]

I mean, deck probably wouldnt run it since it doesnt extend your plays and you have 3 better tuners

I guess it's meant to conflict with idk, battling boxer veil?

[quick axle]

Yes. And other stall tools.

It's the Nekroz of Valkyrus syndrome.

[sleek garnet]

Kinda wild that they're in the same limited pool as stuff like idp

[drowsy holly]

Oh do we have a link to the full box and level up leaks?

[sleek garnet]

Only level ups

[drowsy holly]

Care to link me?

[sleek garnet]

We got 3 tri eyed, 1 top, and 3 painter

[sleek garnet]

Dont have a link, i just unlocked yugo ingame

[drowsy holly]

oh dang

Yeah I'm like 20,000 points behind or something.

[quick axle]

Sadly, I cannot bring myself to care to boot the game whatsoever.

[drowsy holly]

Yeah I still link duel links more than the full base game.

[sonic nimbus]

yo wtf 1 terrortop?

[indigo grail]

Butchered One Card Wonder just because it was getting abused in Stall

[drowsy holly]

Also huh Hi-Speedroid Reboot seems silly for faster clear wings.

[indigo grail]

But then again that’s the other thing Konami can’t stand

People using Skills for unintended purposes

[quick axle]

It could be just me, but I have the impression that Konami REALLY hates stall.

[quick axle]

Which is why Elements Unite! will certainly be gutted on the next banlist.

[indigo grail]

and my aforementioned bringing up of One Card Wonder

[quick axle]

That skill has an absurd turn 1 play with Orcust.

[sleek garnet]

Honestly

They might not hit it at all

[quick axle]

And I wouldn't be surprised if they ban Mermaid on top of it.

[sleek garnet]

Skill makes you instantly lose if you go second

And the side deck in case of tournaments

So it's not viable for those, or the ladder

[indigo grail]

Yeah I’m thinking Mermaid ban maybe address some Prcust stuff but more thinking Mermaid gets axed

[quick axle]

But Konami doesn't really care about tournaments, but the ladder and the KC Cup, which both are BO1 formats

[sleek garnet]

Mermaid is probably eating it but man i would hate to see stuff like orcust gandora and orcust cb go

[indigo grail]

making it the uh how manyeth card banned in DL

[sleek garnet]

5th

[quick axle]

Trunade, Cyber-Stein, Cocytus, Grass... yeah.

Am I missing someone?

[sleek garnet]

Nope

[indigo grail]

I was thinking Woodland Forest Sprite but don’t know if that’s changed

[sleek garnet]

That's at lim 1

[quick axle]

Limited 1 alongside Golden Bamboo Sword.

[drowsy holly]

oh I apparently did unlock Yugo and didn't know it lol

[indigo grail]

alright my bad

Though I still maintain someone who’s played the game but knows nothing about DL would not believe me if I told them Cocytus was broken in DL

[quick axle]

Lack of context on why, I'd say.

Cocytus was an unhealthy presence. Immune to destruction and cannot be targeted.

[sleek garnet]

Thinking about it, aside from stein, most of the currently banned cards could come back

[quick axle]

And there was a severe lack (I'd argue that the issue is still present) of easy ways to deal with a Cocytus.

[sleek garnet]

Problem with cocytus atm is that it's kinda too passive

[quick axle]

Hmm... Probably Dingirsu can deal with it?

[sleek garnet]

Ding, red reign

Pk can do it easily too

Hero can spoly it out

[quick axle]

Yeah. Probably Cocytus could come back at Limited 1 for starters.

I would worry about Trunade, though.

[sleek garnet]

Trunade bouncing back a crackdown would be funny

[quick axle]

Trunade was banned because it promoted an unhealthy playstyle of easy OTKs. Dragunities loved it, BWs loved it. Heck, even Onomat loved it. Probably the last one was the final straw.

[sleek garnet]

What deck would reasonably play it if it was on the limited 1 pool?

Resonator maybe?

[quick axle]

That's a good question.

[sleek garnet]

Like

Orcust and hero cant

Chronomaly and solfa are control focused decks

Pk is both

Grass at 1 would be very cool to see but i may be heavily biased

I want to see block dragon break something for the 4th time

[drowsy holly]

Oh I forgot I had a ton of speedroid cards already.

[sleek garnet]

Honestly, roids will probably be the next big budget deck

Only old thing you need is an SR

Everything else is probably getting a reprint

[drowsy holly]

Yeah and saving my gems for clear wing since that's one of my favorite synchros of all time.

[sleek garnet]

The thing i'm the most hyped for

Is crystrons with access to crystal wing

[drowsy holly]

Funnily enough I don't think I'm going to end up using tri-eyed dice all that much.

[sleek garnet]

I wasnt planning to at all, carturbo is just better :/

[drowsy holly]

Yeah this is what all I have right now lol

[sleek garnet]

Btw licia

Wanna know something very funny?

SS terrortop add taketomborg ss taketomborg tribute taketomborg to summon red eyed dice, make top a lvl 6 make clear wing, activate your skill reborn red eyed dice, make kitedrake, nuke the field activate your skill send your kitedrake to the gy to reborn clear wing

Clear wing has now 4100 ATK

You never used your normal summon btw

[fallen kestrel]

Which means you can normal summon aleister

[drowsy holly]

LMAO

Wait can we even get Taketomborg?

[fallen kestrel]

Taketomborg is confirmed as an SR i thunk

From the leaks

This is from DLM

[drowsy holly]

ooooh

[fallen kestrel]

Ikr

[mighty bramble]

Anyone got a Trains decklist I can base mine on

[mighty bramble]

I guess not?

[young viper]

Is this deck tournament ready? What should I put in the side deck which preferably doesn't cost?

[silk hatch]

use switcheroo

cc will help activate

[mighty bramble]

Oh

[drowsy holly]

Man I'm loving speedorids lol.

Clear Wing my beloved 😍

[fallen kestrel]

I have a clear wing irl

[sleek garnet]

My beloved

[dapper grotto]

Same, it was the first secret rare I pulled in Crossed Souls Sneak Peek.

[drowsy holly]

Clear wing is no joke one of my favorite synchros ever printed.

It's like people always forget it can protect itself from monster effects as well as kill other synchros or fusions.

[weak bough]

the only cool looking holo card i have is solemn judgement

[sleek garnet]

[white stirrup]

Going through this Box a 3rd Time currently

I do like my Magistus

And S Force are a nice Bonus

Also a 3rd Dingirisu for my Gimmik Puppets and Orcust

Yes I do waste all my Gems on this...

[fallen kestrel]

30 packs button lookin spicy rn

[mighty bramble]

Still need help here

[pastel lotus]

skills are nothing special

[fallen kestrel]

Most recent from dlm

[pastel lotus]

its basically, what if we slap effects onto the duelists themselves

[fallen kestrel]

Prettcy pricy tho

[fallen kestrel]

But then what if we made them the only reason the deck is playable

And then as the players build decks around these skills, giving us, konami, all their money, we balance the skill and make it useless

[pastel lotus]

idk what your question is i only play non meta decks and no links

yes skills can be bs but the game itself is already full of bs so

[fallen kestrel]

Skills are funny tho

Have u seen the new e hero one?

[pastel lotus]

i think i read it?

[fallen kestrel]

Adds 15 cards to ur ed at start of duel

[pastel lotus]

but i only played paradox and yugo for the past 3 days

good for the marvel stans

i mean 15 cards in ed are still inert, you still have use them or mill them

its not really noteworthy in my eyes

[runic rover]

is this card worth the get for synchro? or is something like pot of riches that allows you to draw 2 in a pendulum deck worth more? 🧐

thia one gives you a draw per non tuners used to make it.. so it will be 1 or 2

[pastel lotus]

it reimburses you for monsters used up

going by the stats, its obviously setup fodder

i think only cards with effects you understand well are worth getting

[runic rover]

🤔 cause i got me tons of spells/traps that i can put in any deck.. so im looking in SR dream more for cards that can help in situations...

[pastel lotus]

i think good at this point is how well it helps setup an otk build or prevent incoming disruption and/or stop you from dying

[runic rover]

like card removal ot somethubg

[white stirrup]

It what?

[runic rover]

or to give advantages like card draw or something

[pastel lotus]

it's just komoney "atoneing" for the fact they put all the fusion heroes in boxes

here now you can play heroes without spending money

capisce?

i still find it funny no dsod characters can learn destiny draw: monster reborn

it's like that world had no plot armor protagonists or something

i know it's a crap skill, but i still want to bring up my observations regardless

[fallen kestrel]

With no usable skill

Konami rlly be saying be rich or be bad

[pastel lotus]

so?

you can still use the cards without the skill

skills are a gimmicky crutch anyways

i don't play heroes on vs people sims nor am i a paywhale so.... meh

how do you get the cross duel icon in dl again?

[white stirrup]

By playing Cross Duel?

[silk hatch]

What to get with SR ticket

[fallen kestrel]

Forbidden chalice or tth

[sleek garnet]

It's a good card, do be aware that it's limited at 1 tho

On another note tho

[weak bough]

should i spend some gems on the witch's sorcery box to try for some speedroids or wait for whatever clear wing box comes out

[pastel lotus]

like i mean was there a code to type in?

also psa time for newbies

the speedroid box, witch's sorcery, is half-off

get bamboo horse at least since that is a deck thinner for wind

foolish burial but for wind only

i also hope to get another copy of chimeruffersia

yes i can't spell mangled amalgations

i also run 2 copies of kiteroid since its technically in-archetype

[sleek garnet]

Wait

Kendama, which is the only high rarity speedroid, is bad

And konami likes to mass reprint N/R cards

[pastel lotus]

i don't think all non-meta cards are bad

but you be you

i have 2 copies of kendama

[silk hatch]

I have both

[pastel lotus]

speedroids can also do xyz since all the anime cards never says you cannot xyz summon

i love how yugo says overlay network even though he never once xyz summoned

some cards from the zexal era specifically says cannot be used as synchro material

how do i get lightning chidori?

which box was it in?

using gear gigant as my current rank 4 for speedroids right now

[sudden rapids]

#DuelReplay #DuelLinks
https://duellinks.konami.net/att/0022c34cb4cda35af36326e423b353386d1fc2aeda

[pastel lotus]

gamea says lightning chidori is in selection box vol. 6

which means i need to sacrafice 200 gems to do even one pull from that box

maybe it will be in the eventual clear wing synchro dragon box

i love junkuriboh btw, it stops cylinder and spikes

technically anything which burns

jet synchron searches it

junkuriboh got slept on way too long

it even destroys stromberg if they don't have the pumpkin protecting it

[weak bough]

awesome, thank you

[pastel lotus]

i don't have terrortop unlocked but i will show my non-meta (aka for fun) build later most likely 11 pm pst

speedroid gets tons of revival options but i find i have nothing to revive dragons sans monster reborn

i don't want to use kitedrake

archetypes that could be partially splashed into speedroids are junk, synchron, and superheavy samurai

giant lets your synchro to not be bottomless trap hole'd

trumpeteer could be a useable tuner early game, i don't remember if it restrict synchro output if ss'd but most likely to machine

[shrewd sun]

Why do I always go first

[sleek garnet]

: )

[mighty bramble]

Here comes the boy

[sleek garnet]

Btw, @shrewd sun since you're here

https://www.duellinksmeta.com/top-decks/king-of-games/may-2023/odd-eyes/hd-stromhank/QLUrv

[shrewd sun]

Oh that's not that bad. I can build this

Raging Pend is broken

[mighty bramble]

Nothing for Orcust really but this ain’t bad I think

[mighty bramble]

I feel good about this deck of mine

I don’t care if Trains are meta or not but I’ve always been interested in these things

[sleek garnet]

do i grind up ladder with hero or block dragon turbo?

[pastel lotus]

https://tenor.com/view/plasma-dhero-plasma-destiny-hero-plasma-bloody-plasma-eroe-del-destino-gif-25323639

this thing

the only skill drain we have

i hate overly meta hero decks (salt)

you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain

they don't even need a hero lives at this point

they have airman, blazeman, and cotr

i really want to pull dark requiem from raider's requiem but i think i should do the witch's sorcery for the time being while getting more predator plants in the process

i hope komoney doesn't make me wait until 2024 to use wind witch

[sleek garnet]

Honestly

The speedroid skill is peak skill design

Enables consistency by the form of a foolish burial but doesnt start anything by itself, simply enabling cards like double yoyo, and if you use it in that way you lose access to the clear wing reborn later in the duel

The red eyed dice reborn part of the skill also incentivising you to run the og clear wing to when the deck gets enough support to no longer have a use for it is also cool because it doesnt force you to run it but rewards you for roleplaying as yugo

The lock part of the skill is also cool because it doesnt just xeno lock you into just the archetype but lets you use stuff the deck would also naturally want, say, harpie slash or stardust charge warrior, for example

i like it when skills was just neat little perks like tyranno's lp restoring skill

but that concept mostly died with zexal world

[sleek garnet]

Honestly, skills are the only thing that differentiates duel links from the tcg at this point so it's nice to see skills taking a more central role imo

[pastel lotus]

i feel the more limited zones and lack of mp2 already a big difference

you don't get to rebuild field after battle

also tag force versions of cards, even if most of them are for very niche strategies except for ones with effects that are universally applicable (kiteroid)

[sleek garnet]

That is true, however since otks on turn 3 and reliable backrow removal to counter battle tricks became increasingly more common, that aspect kinda got lost over time

[pastel lotus]

i want to use high and low with king bear but haven't got to deckbuilding that one yet

[sleek garnet]

And limited zones dont really matter aside from decks like crystron and infernity

[pastel lotus]

they are really going to try to adapt rush duels to dl

komoney is really aiming for EVERY gen getting represented

[sleek garnet]

Will be fun to see them try ngl

[pastel lotus]

i find it refreshing that yusei and yugo have different skillsets

only yusei gets attack booster: level 2

the only skills i remember them sharing is level tuning

yusei has male NAKAMA but yugo has not

yugo was an actual orphan

i didn't know DAD was in the piggy box

selection box vol. 6

[shrewd sun]

I wish there was more incentive to roleplaying as the character

[pastel lotus]

DAD is like the xyz monster before xyz monsters

[shrewd sun]

So more skills that do stuff in that situation is nice

[pastel lotus]

its the fault of the game

you either have an out to an otk board or trap burn or nothing

you have find others who are also in the mindset to rp

turn 1: beginning

turn 3: end

i don't know if anyone else uses sin rainbow dragon or a mainly sin beater deck but its restriction of not letting other monsters attack while it's on the field almost seems fair in 4000 lp format

in the ocg/tcg it is incredibly weaksauce

it's like the yugioh universe version of slaking

has detrimental effects but can really kick ass if you let it

they benefit a lot from general dragon support

such stamping destruction from neo-impact

it is not a quick-play and needs you to have a dragon on field but i love the extra 500 burn

funny thing is they need generics so much because their own archetype does so little for them

I'm on table 2 and it'd be cool to get the room popping

When you don't read your related cards

[pastel lotus]

pre-terrortop speedroid deck built for fun

the 8th ed slot could probably be used for another xyz or vermillion

[hazy crow]

I think you can use speedroid for Stardust X Clearwing

[pastel lotus]

i have stardust spark dragon

its much more useful overall

[hazy crow]

I mean the Bond Illuminate

[pastel lotus]

i guess i don't really read the new long skills

i really like tuner's scheme so i packed it

your opponent probably synchros more often than you suspect

facing a zw deck rn

[hazy crow]

I think you need more staple

[pastel lotus]

its just casual

i can play without excessively relying on staples

its nonmeta

monster reborn is the only staple i need

[white stirrup]

Currently trying out Kristron Orcust since Orcusts stuff will probably get limited soon

[hazy crow]

If you can constantly keep a lvl 7/8dragon. Play Ruins of the Divine

Altho it can conflict on your own Special summons

[hazy crow]

I also think, Raging Pendulum will be nerfed kek

[pastel lotus]

anyone making DAD decks?

[drowsy holly]

I really wish the clear wing box would come out already 😭

[pastel lotus]

vs trains

got lethal

[pastel lotus]

yes!

i got lightning chidori!

first try

i am wondering if i can activate dimension slice after resolving dimensional equilibrium

that would be 2 banished monsters in one turn

[young viper]

Any critiques apart from me needing to unlock knightmare mermaid?

And I'm going tonunlock switcheroo too

[white stirrup]

Why the 2 Trifortressops and Orcust Knightmare?

Aren't they mostly bricks in your hand?

[young viper]

2 trifortressops are good for mirror matches and orcust knightmare has a good gy effect that comes in clutch in My personal experience so far

[white stirrup]

Wouldn't running Babel be a good Idea then since it turns them in to quick effects?

[young viper]

I'll have to look into that.. thanks for the advice 💯 everyone has been telling me not to worry about babel and just to unlock knightmare mermaid

[pastel lotus]

https://duellinks.konami.net/att/0215e91d89d571d9cc5a8ca5e87edb2819931051bc

junkuriboh is useful

no timelord is gonna get me

[sleek garnet]

You usually wouldnt run babel because it conflicts with mermaid

[young viper]

I got knightmare mermaid now BTW...

[sleek garnet]

Use a skill, for your build switcheroo or sealed tombs would work

[young viper]

Yeah bro I'm going for switcheroo... but I'm finding it hard to complete stage 11 requirements like 5 tribute summons

[sleek garnet]

I see

[white stirrup]

It does? How?

[sleek garnet]

they're both limited 1

[white stirrup]

Oh yeah I forgot about that whoops

[young viper]

I got switcheroo and unlocked bandit Keith people😁 I'm over the moon.. my competitive deck is all finished 🙌

[mighty bramble]

Is Magistus good

[sleek garnet]

Define "good"

[mighty bramble]

Oh

[white stirrup]

It's good enough

[pastel lotus]

i predict negate attack as the next anniversary milestone card

[white stirrup]

Ok so hear me out

POT OF GREED

[pastel lotus]

i know its a shitpost since its actually forbidden

now if you said change of heart...

[fallen kestrel]

Okay OE is better than I anticipated

Consistently being able to banish 3 on opps turn is rather broken 💀

[dapper grotto]

Wait, banish 3? With Trish?
