The only one time I make a Luna Player whimper. Not gonna happen every single time kek

[sonic nimbus]

timelord is such a cringe deck

[pastel lotus]

is that hot take no

[quick axle]

Are you saying because they're more about stall than anything else?

[pastel lotus]

its slower burn and they need to be able to declare attack so its fair

its not fast bamboo sword burn

[sonic nimbus]

they just always have 2 kiteroid in hand :')

[pastel lotus]

well any field negate eliminates their threat factor so

seal eel was lowkey such a card

[sonic nimbus]

oh I guess Tiger King works lol

[pastel lotus]

that fire fist xyz?

yh

[sonic nimbus]

ya

i forgot it had that eff

[pastel lotus]

yes i use it in my serena deck

have to buy eternal stream to get that bad boy

[sonic nimbus]

yea I'm on Lunalight atm as well

deck feels rly hit or miss

[pastel lotus]

because it literally depends on hitting

but yeah i usually want to run rank 4 xyz that isn't just dragon or deadly sin

[quick axle]

The issue of lacking their consistency cards, like Perfume, Kaleido and Tiger...

We have all the remaining fusions for free... but almost nothing to do with them.

[sonic nimbus]

i feel Tiger, Perfume and Kaleido would do so much

but at the same time too much

i mean we've seen what happened in TCG

[quick axle]

I know.

Tiger is a mess by itself.

It was Forbidden for a reason.

[weak bough]

finally got crystal wing

now i just need to pull clear wing from the box so i can switch to the stronger skill

[sleek garnet]

I realized something

Aside morays of greed, 1 abyssgaios, and the stuff in stage of trickstar

I have everything i need to play water atlant mermail

Gonna start pulling for morays

Also

Got a speed recovery after 40 packs

Do i need a second one, just in case™️ tho?

Btw

What do yall recommend grabbing for the "UR for 99 cents" deal?

Got some pocket money on me rn

[pastel lotus]

nothing for i don't condone komoney

[dapper grotto]

Lmao

I usually go for mini boxes or on boxes that I want to try to finish a deck core of.

Staples are definitely a priority though.

Like getting Giant Hand in that one box kekw

[fallen kestrel]

Boxes that have URs u actually want / need

Either a staple like Dally said, Giant Hand, or something u want multiple copies of but cant be asked to run box for

[sleek garnet]

I see

man

excode talker would go so hard

[pastel lotus]

i seen no one running giant hand on ranked

[dapper grotto]

Odd-eyes sometimes run it.

Though it's 7% lmao.

I guess it's a rogue staple pick until you need it.

[pastel lotus]

yeah because level 4s aren't most decks' win con anymore

its whatever that has good applicable effects

[dapper grotto]

Yeah, Roach and Dweller are the popular picks when Orcust is around until the banlist takes effect.

Speedroids are likely dead in the water after this, so maybe prepare for Giant Hand to take Roach's spot lol.

....is what I would say if Exciton Knight doesn't exist.

[pastel lotus]

speedroids are okay they just don't have their main calling card anymore

they can still be adapted to other playstyles

[exciton knight]

[vivid wave]

Evilswarm Exciton Knight

Rank: 4
[ Fiend / Xyz / Effect ]

ATK 1900 / DEF 0

Effect

2 Level 4 monsters
Once per chain, during your Main Phase or your opponent's Battle Phase, if your opponent has more total cards in their hand and field than you do (Quick Effect): You can detach 1 material from this card; destroy all other cards on the field, also your opponent takes no further damage this turn.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[pastel lotus]

nuke everything else if they have more hand+field

[dapper grotto]

Yeah, I heard Speedroids can be adapted into Synchrons or something.

[pastel lotus]

even skull marbles is rather good for an amazoness like playstyle

pair with that f2p kaiju

[dapper grotto]

???

I think you mean the magnet?

That one definitely could work though. xd

I've seen someone try this on me during the Turbo event.

Thank god I had backrow.

A shame we don't have a level 10 wind synchro that only needs generic material.

And we're definitely not getting Baronne De Fleur anytime soon.

[pastel lotus]

i mean their native level 7

skull marbles

put any battle destruction prevention and it can ram for damage

[dapper grotto]

It just seems kind of risky when they could have backrow to nullify its effects.

[pastel lotus]

nah they pack can to build field generally not ones that ruin yours

turbo decks generally don't have much leftover to spent on negates

its not meta but still tilts

i mean amazoness was rampent before more battle phase effect stoppers got added

[dapper grotto]

Swordswoman seemed alot more easy to summon than Skull Marbles, that's for sure lol.

[pastel lotus]

yes but skull marbles actually have 0 attack to maximize the difference

anyways my point was speedroids can do other things besides pure synchro

solidarity can give like hi-speedroid more power

and 3000 def means you don't just randomly bom it

mecha phantom beasts are also unfazed by taketomborg restriction

so i used lost wind in my petdecks and it lost aginst a blue-eyes because it got banished

lost wind hard loses aginst turn 1 cc

[pastel lotus]

also exciton knight won't out panther dancer, bloom diva, and timelords, what's the point?

and its not otk setup because it has damage embargo

[sleek garnet]

Tbf, aside from maybe timelord in lower ranks, you probably wont see those in the ladder

Its useful in more matchups than not

[brisk pawn]

Just negate the first time lord and otk once you negate again

[rotund dagger]

is it too late to start

i played a bit like 1 hour

[hazy crow]

#DuelReplay #DuelLinks
https://duellinks.konami.net/att/07f45c2d66ce1de54c53403262c31368b85ddc6ff9

[pastel lotus]

exciton knight seems to have type synergy with dd

not sure how it would work as a tech

dd doesn't have much cards that says must only special summon dd monster after you resolve this

wonder if witchcrafter can get mileage out of it since they can easily retrieve their hand

o wait you want to have less hand to activate it

[sleek garnet]

several 0.99 deals later

(i hard pulled the starry night dragon)

[sleek garnet]

also decided to throw more money at the game and got a karakuri merchant

(i missed every single 33% chance of getting the card i wanted except giant hand)

so like

atm pulling stuff for mermail atlantean for some reason

getting like

a trish fusion, morays, and a 3rd level 2

anyway ngl

SR dream tickets are more important than UR dream tickets

[pastel lotus]

purely because the cardpool is bigger

also they made dark armed dragon sr instead of ur

so....

ur consists of mostly overhyped cards

[small fern]

honestly inclined to send a nice to anyone who doesn't spam blue-eyes or red-eyes

[pastel lotus]

feel the same except with gouki and trickstar

lowkey glad vrains gets harshly ignored for 2023

[sonic nimbus]

because there's like no characters from that show

like the next 2 chars I could see are Emma and probably Spectre

but other than that there is literally no-one else with a relevant deck

[small fern]

tried to go suboptimal with my sector security and see gong strong and yusei fudo running -eyes dragon turbo

when i went infernity i saw actual opponents
(although i feel bad when ranking up cuz opponent connexion bad)

[pastel lotus]

there's human form ai who is certainly on the table even though he is a distant possibility

https://tenor.com/view/yu-gi-oh-yugioh-vrains-yusaku-fujiki-bohman-card-game-gif-15728837

forgot him

[fallen kestrel]

I want them to add Yuri at some point, but it wont be soon cos we just had celina, and are about to have yugo rerun

[white stirrup]

I just want Tour Guide finally

They have EVERYTHING for it

Next Halloween for sure

[fallen kestrel]

I want yuri cos I have all the predap stuff already

And also cos my first ygo card irl was his dragon

[dapper grotto]

Ah oh. I just checked the usable cards for Legacy Duels- they're including Fossils this time around.

Well, and Volcanics, but that's whatever lol.

[fallen kestrel]

[dapper grotto]

Better spend those UR deals on Shining Sunrise, my fams.

[fallen kestrel]

Or just dont spend money on game

[pastel lotus]

and so the cyber angel embargo continues...

[fallen kestrel]

U building cyber angels?

[pastel lotus]

yes

i have loads of old placeholder decks that were just cyber angel

[fallen kestrel]

Yh, I have a full decklist unless its changed

[pastel lotus]

i forget how to actually play volcanics

still legacy not hard just get 50 wins and you'll have everything its not by total wins this time

i thought they are allowing crystal beasts since the new icon is rainbow dragon? allowed

[fallen kestrel]

Wait is legacies a build ur own deck now?

[pastel lotus]

yes just have to pick from the list of allowed cards

[fallen kestrel]

The one time I played it, on its first release it was with pre-set decks

Unless I remember something very wrong

[pastel lotus]

legacy approved chars comes with their own deck boxes

you fill those with your own cards

trinity sweep teehee

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-squarepants-spongebob-imagination-rainbow-happy-gif-4596954

they banned edo's skill

idk eng name

dinosaurs can still be played but their main user cannot be selected

when are they going to move on to 5d's?

feels like they rotate the playables roughly according to the anime season

because all 3 of the newly playable chars for legacy are actually from season 3

think

omg

dad is allowed in legacy!

[sleek garnet]

you could always use your own deck in legacy duels

[fallen kestrel]

Bruh

[sleek garnet]

on another unrelated note

i remembered something else i could shove crystal wing onto

ol' reliable

[fallen kestrel]

First thing tho

How are u making it

[sleek garnet]

afd + tuner

[fallen kestrel]

And how u getting to afd

[sleek garnet]

you can summon afd by spirit dragon's float

[fallen kestrel]

w u t

[sleek garnet]

[blue eyes spirit dragon]

[fallen kestrel]

[sleek garnet]

any light synchro dragon

levianeer revive a level 8 for dingirsu is also a funny one

also

just pulled the second moray of greed

[fallen kestrel]

I got my third medusa, second parei and third predapracticr today

[sleek garnet]

nice

[fallen kestrel]

I am all predaprepared for Yuri now

[white stirrup]

I got like 16 Mini Selection Boxes left and still didn't get my second Tour Guide

Please tell me they don't reset after they are gone

[sleek garnet]

they do reset

[young viper]

Please help

What other cards should I include or take from this deck it’s suppose to gain me lots of LP for ranked battles

[fallen kestrel]

First of all you need 3 cananga and 3 blessed winds for aromage

But to be honest

Its a pretty bad deck, as it has little to no interruption

[weak bough]

im just gonna use a loaner deck for legacy duels

[sleek garnet]

should be good enough, i think

[dapper grotto]

Dang, I only have 1 Dark World Dealings lol.

If only they brought back box chips, I'd be getting right on that.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDKiTIdP5Ng

Jesus Christ. That's alot of brainpower, but it seems to be worth it if you know what you're doing.

[sleek garnet]

Ended up getting 3 of it and 3 ITV during the time infernities came out

Never played that build because i never got more than 1 archfiend but we dont talk about that

Hmm

Kinda want to build galaxy eyes, pretty sure i have most of the core

Maybe i'll throw some gems at the selection box once i get everything i want from the half gem sale

[pastel lotus]

destiny hero armed dragon could end up being a cute rogue deck (legacy)

the only other things being able to run dad are advanced dark with the archetype mentioned in its card text

and idk anything else, the non-restricted list doesn't mention dark world so i assume they are unusable

now idk if johan has transcendent crystal allowed

also progression isn't by total accumlated wins any more

[young viper]

Then what deck is better cause I just spent 2k gems on it

[pastel lotus]

reminder that cards like [pumprincess] were only good in the absence of easy-to-use removal

[vivid wave]

Pumprincess the Princess of Ghosts

Level: 3
[ Zombie / Effect ]

ATK 900 / DEF 1000

Effect

If this face-up card is destroyed while in a Monster Zone, you can place it face-up in your Spell & Trap Zone as a Continuous Spell Card, instead of sending it to the Graveyard. While this card is treated as a Continuous Spell Card by this effect, during each player's Standby Phase: Place 1 Pumpkin Counter on this card. All monsters your opponent controls lose 100 ATK and DEF for each Pumpkin Counter on this card.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[pastel lotus]

also i use d-fortune in my current deck because i was blown away by how it is one the few cards in dl that actually ENDS the whole battle phase

the only other one i know of is reject reborn, also a battle trap

i love how nearly anything trap in dl that belongs to jack atlas that doesn't have to do with resonators just doesn't see use because uh too much removal

fiendish was arguely the most meta of his trap lineup since it wasn't a battle trap and completely incapacitates a monster but it targets so it will always lose to stuff that chained to its target and it never prevented field fodder being used in other ways meaning it does not keep up with the speed of the meta to now include in a ranked climb deck

although his traps are very satisfying when they are resolved properly

[pastel lotus]

i was wondering whether or not to pack trap eater just to deal with crackdown but it doesn't seem worth it

[white stirrup]

[small fern]

i keep forgetting "I activate Negate Attack! This negates the attack." isn't in Duel Links 😅
just so iconic to me

[pastel lotus]

[scrubbed raid] would be so annoying with pendulums if you can't cyclone it

[vivid wave]

Scrubbed Raid

Effect

During the Battle Phase, you can send 1 card you control to the Graveyard, except this card, to end the Battle Phase.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[pastel lotus]

oh no wait it doesn't tribute it needs something to go to graveyard

so nvm my above repose

[pastel lotus]

lol i got prismatic speedlift on just my 2nd farm!

[pastel lotus]

pure f2p luck right there

[sonic nimbus]

just had some dude dc after they went NS Scrap Recycler eff dump Cymbal Skeleton

did they misclick? lmao

[fallen kestrel]

Probs

Cymbal is next to harp on the monster list in a pure orcust build

Also got this guy my first pack

[sleek garnet]

Ayyy

[fallen kestrel]

Tellars are in construction

I finished evil eyes like rlly quickly cos the box blessed me

[small fern]

I'm still constructing some call-out cards, glad there's a sale rn

[sleek garnet]

hot take

i liked galaxy eyes when the skill gave you number 90

[pastel lotus]

what's hot about it?

we all knew zexal archetypes all needed skills to remain relevant

now how to buff ciphers

🤔

[fallen kestrel]

That everyone hated photon lord in the game

[white stirrup]

Could just give them a Skill like 🇧immik 🇧uppets
Change all Cipher/Photon/Galaxy monsters you control to 8/4

Can only be used twice per Duel or smth

[pastel lotus]

i mean i mostly hated photons for photon stream of destruction

the current style of xyz jumping is also pretty irritating

[small fern]

haven't seen hyperevolution outside of full armor dragon

[pastel lotus]

full armor gepd then into blade cipher

the only somewhat used rank 9 in the game

[pastel lotus]

did anyone get exciton?

i been sinking at least 2000 gems in, only get inifinitetracks i didn't want

[pastel lotus]

i guess i just want to hear if anyone else is getting better luck than me

Infinitracks are good, but not better. It's an OTK or nah. Aggresive playstyle as all machine decks are.

[midnight fable]

https://www.duellinksmeta.com/articles/news/august-2023/datamined-leaks-18

Oh

that's, something

Yuga, Luke, Romin, Gakuto, Otis, and Mimi seem to be the earlier character unlocks

[sleek garnet]

wait

the skills add the ace mon to your hand, not deck

MAYBE?

[midnight fable]

Just will Dragias to your hand

[sleek garnet]

ace monsters obtainable in the gate

[mighty bramble]

Otis?

https://tenor.com/view/back-at-the-barnyard-nicktoons-cartoon-barnyard-cow-gif-26139417

[quick axle]

No. This Otis. And in fact, it should be Otes.

[midnight fable]

yeah spelling was heavily shifted between Otis/Otes early on

Otes is just seto backwards

and makes it sound like he eats cheerios

[sleek garnet]

btw

earlier today a "Enter Serial Code" button was added to the settings page

"Each code is one time use only, do not share yours with friends or on social media"

"The gifts will be sent directly to you, and will not be sent to your Gift Box"

it does not seem to be related to the cross duel EoS serial code in any way

[fallen kestrel]

Weird

Guess codes will be a thing at some point then

[white stirrup]

Would be funny if we could like, use the codes from the Irl Cards like in the old DS Games

[sleek garnet]

My guess is that it will work like the pokemon tcg codes

[dapper grotto]

That is so abusable, it hurts.

Unless they're gonna have us use DP or coins to restrict us.

But even then, that's just crafting with extra steps.

[weak bough]

oh i wish duel links had crafting

[pastel lotus]

will laugh if rush duels introduces its own set of currency and card tickets

[weak bough]

cant wait for rushGems

[mighty bramble]

I’m just trying to joke around

[pastel lotus]

shiranui ded?

[sleek garnet]

Has been for years, yes

[mighty bramble]

I mean they’re Zombies they were already dead

[pastel lotus]

but they are still viable in today's format, no?

i didn't play them when they were actually new, i assume their tuner has the most valuable effects?

https://ygorganization.com/hereweareborntobekings

will laugh hard if this turns out to be a box card for the first box designed for the rd format

[pastel lotus]

every card that burns have their amount halved post zexal world

hence rd sparks will do less than usual sparks

[small fern]

is ultimate legend even possibl- oh it is

[pastel lotus]

duel links: no series left behind

that talk about a dm tournament world with s5 characters was always pure hyperbole

or the developers intentionally placed it there as red herring

[pastel lotus]

alito's skills all sound very boring

first one is almost like master of fusion but it provides a rum instead

yugo new skill come out yet?

[fallen kestrel]

No

If dl had crafting it would be awful imo, cos everyone could just dismantle current deck and make meta, and do that every single format

Not everyone would, but quote a few players wouldnt mind having a meta deck for no work or time

[pastel lotus]

no more box chips

how were they supposed to be attained again?

[sleek garnet]

and that's a bad thing because?

[dapper grotto]

My copium tells me they'll do it again once the new SEVENs world releases.

...Or it really is a one-time thing.

[pastel lotus]

https://tenor.com/view/hitman-ros-hitman2-hitman-ii-clown-gif-21365642

[fallen kestrel]

Imagine every match was full power orcust for example, yes it would depend on skill more, but it would also make the game a hmmmmm go first = win simulator

[sleek garnet]

implying that ladder isnt already like that

and besides, ladder being "diverse" because people cant play what they actually want is just bad design lmao

also like, every other card game has crafting and you still see a bunch of different decks on ladder

[half sphinx]

Either Sevens World or Anniversary

Recall the Duelist Pass

[fallen kestrel]

Ig

[half sphinx]

That also went missing for a few months after its introduction

Then was slightly improved and released

They'll probably improve the box chips by adding a few extra boxes to them

They go to almost the end of GX-era rn

They'll probably go to early 5Ds-era boxes on return

[fallen kestrel]

Will also probs make them way harder to get

[pastel lotus]

sounds plausible until you realize this is komoney you are refering to

[white stirrup]

I have a ton of fun with the Fire Fist Guys

I need a few Cards from them and then I have 1 of each

[pastel lotus]

i noticed all of yugo's skills are more speedroid-related than dragon-related

maybe they should made a non-speedroid related skill like adapting the text from step on shadow

Target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; Special Summon 1 monster from your Graveyard that was Special Summoned from the Extra Deck with a Level less than or equal to the targeted monster's, but its effects are negated.

[brisk pawn]

I need help with a shiranui deck

[mighty bramble]

You know whether or not Battlin’ Boxers are good or not the fact they’re an actual archetype means that Alito will probably see more play than Girag ever did

[pastel lotus]

they are warriors

both heroic challenger/champion and burning knuckler are elemental hero 2.0

they beatdown

also alito will actually be changing form mid-duel

the rest of his skills reads pretty boring but idc

sure hope he gets spicy taunts like girag

idk why post vrains release character must get skills that mentions emz but... they did it on grandpa

[fallen kestrel]

What have u got at the moment?

[white stirrup]

Golden Sarcophagus is neat for them

[fallen kestrel]

First of all, u need more squire and solitaires

[sleek garnet]

Ok so

Fun fact

https://www.duellinksmeta.com/skills/Kuribohmorph

If you target a linkuriboh in the EMZ with the skill

You can have a non-extra deck monster in the EMZ

[small fern]

link-4 without extra monster 😳

4 materials for rank 1 xyz without ursarctics even

[brisk pawn]

Oh I’m broke

[brisk pawn]

I forgot my solitare shit

[pastel lotus]

alito notif just in

number 105 will actually be a duel reward

maybe its chaos form will be the box card or something

[star cestus]

[vivid wave]

Number 105: Battlin' Boxer Star Cestus

During either player's Battle Step, if a "Battlin' Boxer" monster you control battles an opponent's monster: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; negate the effects of the opponent's monster until the end of the turn, that monster you control cannot be destroyed by that battle, also your opponent takes any battle damage you would have taken from that battle.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[pastel lotus]

oh that's why

it needs 3 materials

it punchs through timelord right?

also no opt in the text and its effect works on any monster in the archetype so it means veil becomes amazoness damager

also no mention of "targetting"

hot stuff

can't wait to nab a prismatic of it

i am alito's biggest fan

[pastel lotus]

oh its makeable with other materials like doggy diver on top of that

its not archetype or type confined

[fallen kestrel]

Battlin boxer stall decks are gonna run rampant

We already have veil, dont need another bp stall card

[pastel lotus]

how is their boss stall

they literally gear around battling

[indigo grail]

Veil is literally their only card that’s a defensive aside from like Chief Second. I have no idea if any of the Soulburning Volcano boxers ar confirmed though

[fallen kestrel]

I personally think anything that reduces dmg or reflects it or whatnot counts as stall

So probs just a difference in opinion/definition ig

Or me being dumb af

[pastel lotus]

it breaks through stall imo

their counter traps will stop the like of mirror force and kiteroid

they like tekken are big on kill confirms

[fallen kestrel]

Wait that xyz has no opt at all

[pastel lotus]

smirks

[fallen kestrel]

And can activate effect for itself

[pastel lotus]

i already went over the obvious highlights, but yes

and its not boxed

it won't require gems to attain

i can't remember a zexal character that actually lets you obtain their ace at the gate besides kotori and tetsuo aka friends who don't got much character development

[pastel lotus]

but if its bom, can't they just activate it from their hand in response?

[fallen kestrel]

Yh

Effect still goes thru though I think

They just wouldnt be able to choose bom

[pastel lotus]

this how you steal your opponent's monster reborn

[fallen kestrel]

People run reborn nowadays

[pastel lotus]

yes

better than targetting traps

at least raging pendulum won't get access to it anymore, even if they don't actually graveyard scrunging due to being pendulums

[fallen kestrel]

They never ran it anyways

[lime pewter]

Guys does anyone have a fur hire Deck in Duel links i wanna Play it but idk how

[pastel lotus]

no they haven't been relevant for long, long time

and even then it was only for dynalock

check dlm for any deck info regarding your archetype of choice

[pastel lotus]

instant way to make burning knucklers more competative, splash aleister

Does anyone have a deck i could try? Idk what Deck to Main so yeah

[white stirrup]

I finally got my second Tourguide in the 3rd last Selection Box

(God I hate this RNG shit when I REALLY want smth)

Now to wait for the next one cause I ain't doing 35 Boxes again with only Gems

[lime pewter]

How did you get so many gems lol

[white stirrup]

I used all my Characters up that were not Level 30 yet

And all the leftovers

And all the Event ones

[lime pewter]

Ohhh so i need to Grind the shit Out of this Game right

[lime pewter]

You have any Deck i could try cause idk what deck to main

[sleek garnet]

Back to back

On another note, pulled the morays of the greed and mermail stuff i needed

Ignore that 3rd swee, that's just a placeholder

Now i just need a croc and to dig a little deeper into the trickstar box

[lime pewter]

Whats the point of this Deck can you explain

[sleek garnet]

Let's see

The atlanteans all have effects that can be activated when they're sent to the gy by the effect of a water monster

The level 4 adds a sea serpent from deck to hand, the level 3 pops face down cards, and the level 2 pops face ups

Those effects also trigger when they're detached from an xyz monster to activate its effect

[lime pewter]

Oh lol?

[sleek garnet]

The skill territory of the sharks turns all your water monsters into level 4s

So you can normal summon diva, summon a heavy infantry from deck, and make an abyss dweller

[lime pewter]

Okay okay i Like

You mind If i Copy the Deck

[sleek garnet]

No

[lime pewter]

Oh nice nice

[sleek garnet]

But play 3 dragoons, i only have 1 currently

Cut swee to 2

[lime pewter]

Okay okay i'll try to get it rdy jst need to Farm a bit

[sleek garnet]

The extra deck i use is sub zero trishula, crocodragon, 2 abyss dweller, number 37, and 2 coral anemonae

Btw the deck is REALLY expensive

Wouldnt recommend it personally

[lime pewter]

Yea i See it

Okay sad tbh

Sounds interesting but idk

Got sum Ur and sr Tickets but idk If you can get some of the cards from These Tickets

[sleek garnet]

Something cheap and very good i recommend is trickstar

[lime pewter]

True

But idc If its that good i wanna have fun yk

[sleek garnet]

Rokkets is also a decent option but the extra deck is a bit more expensive

Crusadia is also not that bad to get

[lime pewter]

Yea i got some of the rokket extra Deck

True crusadia is fun yea

Maybe a mixture of sum Decks

But in Duel links its hard to find smth that Matches yk

[sleek garnet]

Gandora orcust is the closest thing we have of a pile deck right now

Odd eyes variants could also work

[lime pewter]

Oh okay

I'll try that thank you 🙂

With normal gandora or the other Version

[sleek garnet]

Odd eyes orcust is the cheaper one gem wise but requires 15 USD for the structure decks

Gandora is fully obtainable with only gems but is more expensive

If that makes sense

[lime pewter]

Yep yep

Thank you i'll Go with gandora

You have a deck list or any ideas what to Put into the Deck

[sleek garnet]

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

[lime pewter]

Thx thx helps a Lot

I'll dm you If i wanna try another Deck If thats No Problem

[sleek garnet]

The sample list is a bit chunkier, but the average list is about always:

2x gigarays, 1x OG gandora
3x harp horror, 1x world wand, 2x orcust knightmare, 1x cymbal skeleton, 1x babel, 2-3x orcustrated return
3x silver gatget, 2-3x gold gadget, 2x green gadget, 1-2 red gadget, 1x yellow gadget (play 2 red if you're playing only 2 gold, you need 10 gadgets total in deck for your skill)

2x dingirsu, 2x galatea, 1x decode talker, 1x gear gigant x, 1x longirsu

The last extra deck slot is the tech slot

You can play force strix + evilswarm nightmare if you want to play a zephyros package, or play knightmare phoenix otherwise

Skill is always going to be determination to fight

@lime pewter think that covers everything

[lime pewter]

Ye ik ik saw the Decklist lol but thx for your time

Now i need to Grind a Lot

[quick axle]

Yeah, that's the name of the game here: Grind.

[lime pewter]

True true

[sleek garnet]

Hey box

While you're here

Help me decide on something rq

Do i use 2 dream tickets for my 3rd copy each of aleister and dragonhawk or do i just open the box?

[quick axle]

Whatever suits you fancy.

[sleek garnet]

Alright here's what i'm going to do

I'm opening the box

If i pull 1 of them early i'm ticketting the second one

[sleek garnet]

Oh yea also

New box looks cool judging from the leaks

Utopia ray v, link bls, number c105

[pastel lotus]

c105 is the shit tho

its literally flame wingman's effect again, also a targetting pop that burns, not even quick

base form's effects are literally much better

so nothing for serena?

i thought for sure they throw in a pendulum or something

[sleek garnet]

Yea doesnt look like we're getting any lunalights

Also, pegasus got a new toon skill

Maybe we're getting the toch cards?

[pastel lotus]

lol at both yuma and alito's upgrades being targetted destroy burn

[sleek garnet]

On another note though

I decided to get a playset of speed recovery just in case, how hard could it be, right?

I opened 50 packs and didnt get a single speedroid card period

[pastel lotus]

still hoping for artifact and line monster boss

wings of clearness?

yeah probability screws everyone

[sleek garnet]

Witch of sorcery

[pastel lotus]

oh that

[sleek garnet]

Yea recovery didnt get reprinted for whatever reason

[pastel lotus]

iron call can be stand in synchro material generator

[sleek garnet]

I guess so

Oh hey just pulled a verre

I ended up getting 2 of the fire witchcrafter when i decided to gamble on the selection box some time ago

I could have a full WC core if i wanted to

Neat

Kinda wish i also pulled hama the bow while i'm here

Nothing plays it anymore because crystal wing exists but who knows

Maybe it could come up again

[pastel lotus]

alito's box seems doodoo

does it have any classic cards like horn of heaven?

i have 1 rum barian's force but i don't see any particularly spicy payoff from packing it

[stoic challenger]

[vivid wave]

Stoic Challenge

Effect

You can only control 1 "Stoic Challenge". Equip only to a face-up Xyz Monster that has Xyz Material. It gains 600 ATK for each Xyz Material attached to a monster you control, and any battle damage your opponent takes from battles involving it and their monster is doubled, but its effects cannot be activated. During your opponent's End Phase: Send this card to the Graveyard. When this card leaves the field, destroy the equipped monster.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[sleek garnet]

speed recovery status

[sleek garnet]

got the third one 20 packs later

[lime pewter]

Guys any Tipps for this Deck. It works but idk It Lacks on negate and when i have the Rank 3 digitalbug Out or the other Rank 3 insect i have sometimes Problem on negating my oponent

[dapper grotto]

Gotta stock up more on Book of Moons or Cosmic Cyclones and get rid of the Earthquakes imo.

[sleek garnet]

Also get rid of ant multiplication

It actually hinders yourself

[lime pewter]

Okay i'll try thank you

[lime pewter]

How many copies?

[dapper grotto]

3 of each ideally.

[lime pewter]

I'll try

[dapper grotto]

Ye, I think each of those can come in 1 copy if you buy their bundle with real money, but if you don't want to spend money, then probably save up on UR Dream Tickets to use on them

[lime pewter]

Yea okay thank you

Needs to save Up gems to get an other Deck rdy so gems would be a Bit of a waste

When does the new Pack comes Out so the free Packs of the bundle wouldnt be a waste

[pastel lotus]

next maintenance will input the box data

start: jst 14:00 8/24

maybe a few days after that

[lime pewter]

Okay thanks

[pastel lotus]

i only got 7 wins in legacy don't feel like grinding more for the icons

used my same hero deck as last time just with clayman added since he isn't limit 1 anymore

hopefully 5ds legacy duel will bring a better experience

[pastel lotus]

i also packed dark panther because copy name means he potentially could be a fusion material

yubel was the best thing to come out of gx hands down

[sleek garnet]

Ok unironically

They should unban cocytus

I'm sorry but the card is simply not banworthy if it's in the same format as dingirsu

Also man

People legit do not read plate gaia

So they try to beat it over with a 3k beater and then fucking die

[quick axle]

[Gaia Plate]

[vivid wave]

Gaia Plate the Earth Giant

Level: 8
[ Rock / Effect ]

ATK 2800 / DEF 1000

Effect

You can Special Summon this card by removing from play any 2 Rock-Type monsters in your Graveyard. During your Standby Phase, remove from play 1 Rock-Type monster in your Graveyard, or send this card to the Graveyard. Halve the ATK and DEF of any monster that battles with this card.

People reading challenge > Impossible

[sleek garnet]

Also, i was thinking about it

The character unlocks this year were so weird

Since vrains launched, we got 2 new unlocks, nothing for gx or dsod, 2 5ds character, 1 for dm, 4 for zexal, and then 6 or so arc v characters

Let's see how each anime is doing story wise

[quick axle]

DSoD is pretty much over.

Unless they want to do breadcrumbs by including Tristan.

And Duke was pretty much a nothingburger.

And DL seems to keep pretending that GX Season 4 didn't happen, except the Jaden vs Yugi duel.

[sleek garnet]

Dm: finished the battle city arc ages ago, only missing minor characters like shadi and non yami marik and people from the arc of memories

Dsod: basically complete, thry could add tristan or duke but that's basically it

Gx: everything from seasons 1 and 4 are missing

5ds: we got zone, we are still missing 3 dark signers and most of the arc cradle season's cast thought, so they could be sprinkled in later like how dm is going

Zexal: we currently have 4 of the 7 barians as playable, with alito coming out on thursday, the story line seems to be a repeat of season 2, notably though, nistro, dextra, dr faker, and vetrix are all not present

Arc v: basically still on season 1, but aside from the yuzu counterparts, yuri, riley, dennis, zarc and possibly ray, there's not much to add character wise

Vrains: again, still stuck in season 1, but the characters not currently obtainable either have decks that are too strong or aren't printed yet

[quick axle]

@sleek garnet Correction on GX. Season 1 was showcased in the Duelist Chronicles.

[sleek garnet]

I honestly still think season 4 of gx will happen eventually but they're currently retroactively adding in characters for that to work

[sleek garnet]

Fair, but none of the characters are playable

Like chumley and the shadow riders

[quick axle]

And they skipped Chumley, the Shadow Riders aren't there, and it got condensed to Amnael and Kagemaru.

IIRC.

With Kagemaru being represented with the three Sacred Beasts.

In three separate duels.

[sleek garnet]

Ngl

I wonder what will they do in 2025

Since go rush is probably gonna be the 2024 world

What comes next?

[quick axle]

inb4, EoS.

[sleek garnet]

Could see it

Even tho it's the only official way of playing rush duels outside of japan

The switch game does not count

It never got the later updates

[quick axle]

Honestly, I'm not sure if I'll ever come back to DL.

[sleek garnet]

Huh

The bls skill returns all banished cards to the gy

It kinda turns gold sarc into foolish burial

I wonder if you can break that

[pastel lotus]

a minor observation regarding game ui i want to point out

before a chain starts, if an optional activation of an effect is fulfilled for 2 cards, game will ask you about card on the field first before asking you about card in the graveyard

examples when this happems:

[fallen kestrel]

No chainblocks

[pastel lotus]

you ritual summon dakini using idaten as material, game will ask you about dakini's effect first, then idaten's effect

you have chaingiraffe as a pendulum scale, a blue cat or other similar floater gets destroyed by battle, the game will then proceed to ask you about chaingiraffe's effect first, then ask you about the destroyed monster's effect

useful to keep in mind if you play the game in not your native language

anything involving other places or leave the field effects is probably too complex and or situational but i will assume it always ask for cards on the field first

when both effects are chosen as yes, then a chain starts

[pastel lotus]

main difference between photon and galaxy:

photon: mostly level 4, has some type variety, random effects

galaxy: has type variety but less than photon, actually sets up rank 8 xyz summons

cipher: almost entirely machine, fluctuates between making rank 4 and 8, small archetype due to being concepted near the end of the show it debuted on

[small fern]

kaiba lives in battle for the bronze, can't be convinced otherwise

[pastel lotus]

is there any reason to play kozmo?

almost no one on ladder plays it

dk if it's because no exclusive skill, only 1 box that featured it, or it just didn't have good enough boss monsters

[dapper grotto]

It's just not good in the face of the current competitive scene sadly.

Believe me, I tried.

They kept blasting through my back row, or got rid of my threats fairly quick.

[quick axle]

They don't have Kozmotown. Remind me, do they even have Dark Destroyer?

[dapper grotto]

Yes.

Two Dark Destroyers.

No Kozmotown tho.

[quick axle]

Exactly my point. No Kozmotown to bolster their numbers.

[dapper grotto]

Doesn't really matter anyway when their ships are still easily subdued with Generic Dark Machine man.

Kozmotown wouldn't have mattered.

[quick axle]

And they should totally unban Cocytus.

[dapper grotto]

They honestly should at this point imo.

Lunalight has proven it really doesn't matter now.

Though I guess you could argue Lunalight commits a lot more resources to get to Lion Dancer.

Which hurts a lot worse than Aleister banishing a water monster.

[quick axle]

That's a big problem. A big unga bunga beast... to be foiled by Generic Dark Machine Man.

[dapper grotto]

And Big Shiny Rock Dragon.

[quick axle]

Which one was that one again?

[dapper grotto]

Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon

It can boost itself up by the atk of the opponent's monster.

Oh right, we can't forget the Kaijus.

If you're really desperate for answers.

[white stirrup]

Should add Chaos Giant too while we are at it

[dapper grotto]

True. We're completely past the point of the battle phase mattering in Duel Links now.

Maybe except War Rocks.

[white stirrup]

Amazoness

They could probs get everything they currently have and still not be that good lol

[pastel lotus]

because its not a floodgate effect archetype?

onslaught's we banish everything we battle effect can only help so much

[kozmotown]

[vivid wave]

Kozmotown

Effect

Once per turn: You can target 1 of your banished "Kozmo" monsters; return it to the hand, and if you do, lose LP equal to its original Level x 100. Once per turn: You can reveal any number of "Kozmo" monsters in your hand and shuffle them into the Deck, then draw cards equal to the number of cards you shuffled into the Deck. If this card in the Field Zone is destroyed by a card effect: You can add 1 "Kozmo" card from your Deck to your hand.

no maintenence announcement today

guess they already added all the data they needed

is the game down?

normally maintenance stop at 00:30 my time zone

[pastel lotus]

ALITO

i can't believe fighting the barian possessed duelists reuses the duel zombies theme from yubel event

even duel links acknowledges yoshida just recopies his ideas

love the sphere field effects

(figure of speech)

[hazy crow]

Whats with this Pick Up Box?

That's a "headstart" for Alito Deck aaand upcoming skill of his.

[quick axle]

Konami not wanting to release the good Battlin' Boxer support yet, that's what it is.

[sonic nimbus]

does Alito have lines for the LD10 Boxer cards?

[pastel lotus]

check randompl0x

⬆️

alito easy farm just make sure to destroy his counter traps

easy set [kinetic soldier]

[vivid wave]

Cipher Soldier

Level: 3
[ Machine / Effect ]

ATK 1350 / DEF 1800

Effect

If this card battles a Warrior-Type monster, during damage calculation: This card gains 2000 ATK and DEF during that damage calculation only.

[pastel lotus]

stall and ko with ra

gepd can gain massive attack from banishing nova kaiser

don't really like the multi panel thing they are doing except for reiji's, that was okay

can't do the next set until character unlock

[sleek garnet]

Oh

I just realized i have necrovalleys now

That's neat if i ever decide to play pends

[mighty bramble]

Okay Battlin’ Boxers are really fun

[pastel lotus]

which almost no one touched until this event

excluding me, for i made a deck for them as soon as the first post-zexal world minibox rage of volcano dropped

some seethed about veil's interaction with dd but idc

you lost the lp, so dd can activate doesn't matter if the net lp remained the same

burning knucklers can always serve as purgatrio fodder

[sleek garnet]

nah i played them since when the deck was just "lead yoke pass" in the tcg

[quick axle]

And we don't have Lead Yoke.

That Pick Up Box is a cruel joke.

[sleek garnet]

i assume it's gonna be a level up reward

since alito has it in his loaner deck

[quick axle]

shrug We need to wait and see.

[pastel lotus]

[battlin boxin spirit]

[vivid wave]

Battlin' Boxing Spirits

Effect

Send the top card of your Deck to the GY, then target 1 "Battlin' Boxer" monster in your GY; Special Summon that target in face-up Defense Position. You can only activate 1 "Battlin' Boxing Spirits" per turn.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[pastel lotus]

mill 1 topdeck then ss 1 from grave

seems like an odd reborn

is this actually key or just a side field rebuilding tech?

i didn't pull rage of volcano enough to nab this card

https://www.konami.com/yugioh/duel_links/en/box/rageofvolcano/

rabbit puncher can probably be omitted if no serious attempt is made to ultilize cheat commissioner

since dl doesn't need deck fillers any more

you know some cards only exist to pad out that 40 card limit

[sleek garnet]

it's kinda one of the only 3 good battlin boxer cards

so yes, probably

not sure how the deck will play out with skills tho

or maybe it could just act as bootleg hero and play 12 traps including expendable dai

[pastel lotus]

nothing can respond to counter traps except for another one

that was the gimmick

they don't negate anything outside of bp

[pastel lotus]

lol at the reprint box having xyz universe

its only lets you summon non-number xyz like say constellar stuff

i love it but its definitely counts as gimmicky removal

[fallen kestrel]

Someone got KOG with flower cardians

[pastel lotus]

gg

show me

i want to play cardians with yugo

both yugo and chojiro's deck revolved around game objects, except cardian was literally importing the ruleset and strategies of another non-electronic card game into the fold

their were making the yugioh namesake mean something again

yugi meaning game

[fallen kestrel]

I’m making it since I have almost all the ed and the main deck is all just rares and normals

[pastel lotus]

rota

you only trigger then the archetypal lock when you use zebra grass right?

might copy some of the ed choices for my own

[dapper grotto]

Playing Rokkets for this month since everything's so shaky right now.

[pastel lotus]

i love dark armed dragon

i never played during the gx or 5ds era but i love it

3 darks is very easy to achieve

dark armed dragon can further serve as fusion material for [gatlinghoul]

[vivid wave]

Performapal Gatlinghoul

Level: 8
[ Fiend / Fusion / Effect ]

ATK 2900 / DEF 900

Effect

1 "Performapal" monster + 1 Level 5 or higher DARK monster
If this card is Fusion Summoned: You can inflict 200 damage to your opponent for each card on the field, then, if this card was Fusion Summoned using a Pendulum Monster as material, destroy 1 monster your opponent controls, and if you do, inflict damage to your opponent equal to that monster's original ATK. You can only use this effect of "Performapal Gatlinghoul" once per turn.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[pastel lotus]

any 3 (but no more) dark monsters in the graveyard allows you to ss dad even if other attributes are present in the graveyard

so if you take 2 dark monsters, xyz into 1 dark xyz and you send to the graveyard that one you just made, you'll already have the amount needed

i use it with destiny hero since they can banish themselves and decisionguy allows one time graveyard retrieval so its really easy to modulate their graveyard headcount

i run gagaga samurai (not a dark) lol

[sleek garnet]

i ran out of gate keys

grinded too much it seems

[dapper grotto]

That's impossible...

[sleek garnet]

on another note

got my 3rd hawk and aleister

i think that's all i needed from the half gem sale

also got my playset of moray and heavy infantry so that's nice

[dapper grotto]

Pray Thunder Dragons get some love someday.

[white stirrup]

Trust me it happens
Flashback to the Time I needed something from Zane and Bastion

[sleek garnet]

so

funny thing is

i dont think i even have anything i wanted to play invoked on

so i'm sitting here wondering wtf do i do with my aleisters

[white stirrup]

You put him on the Bench like everyone else after Cocytus got killed

[sleek garnet]

now, do i build gandora, trickstar, or speedroids first?

probably trickstar

gets me dragoons and shootingcode which i need

[dapper grotto]

Trickster is definitely the better pick.

Though you also need the three of SR in the Rebellion box iirc.

[sleek garnet]

oh yea should also point out

only thing i'm missing for gandora is 1 silver gadget, 2 golds, and the giga rays

for speedroid i would also only have to go into the box twice

also completely forgot that festival was in another box, lmao

although

i only have 110 packs left in future circuit

i could grab 2 and ticket my 3rd

was also thinking of using the 3 ur tickets i have to grab 1 gold and the 2 gigarays

[young viper]

so hype we're getting SEVENS next month. This was the best way to bring Rush Duels over imo

[dapper grotto]

It's all dependent on whether it disrupts the Speed Duel flow of the game though. If it does, and we have speed duel events in one month and Rush Duel events in the other, we might have a bad situation on our hands.

Not to mention how Rush Duels are monetized.

[young viper]

Ye that part is true

[young viper]

I'm still shocked 5Ds was bookended

Like no Aesir characters

no Sherry

Half the Dark Signers not there

like bruh

[white stirrup]

I am just glad Zone is finally there

Just sucks he doesn't have shit for Vylons in terms of Skills

I would love if characters got stuff for Archetypes that fit them

Like Weevil and Inzectors

Or Machinia with Crowler

Or Syrus

[dapper grotto]

It's not as if it's the end for 5Ds characters. We can still get them as filler characters for the month.

[white stirrup]

Can't wait for the Monke Guy and his Earthbound that does nothing

[dapper grotto]

We still got DM or GX characters long after their final events ended.

[young viper]

No ik that's what I mean by bookended

THAT said I'm so happy we have dub!Z-One in his full glory too

jesus fuck his voice is amazing

[young viper]

I'd love an update that did that - even in place of an event

Like fuck it go back and make sure Espa Roba and everyone else from DM and GX can say I Pendulum Summon/I Link Summon a monster , etc

And we all know how sorely sorely lacking Atem is in voice lines

[white stirrup]

It's so dumb to see Wevil and Rex be so trashed on with Skills

[young viper]

and ARC-V world is really bad with character interaction in pre-duels

like how does that happennnn

[white stirrup]

Oh sure let me summon Ultimate Greatmoth a TINY bit easier...

[young viper]

my dream is to give Atem or DM!Yugi lines for Summoned Skull's Extra Deck monsters

[white stirrup]

Like not even being able to dump Moth with Cocoon immidiently if you have Ult Moth in your hand

[young viper]

they would sound so badass

But I do like the little things in the voice lines like

[white stirrup]

Summoned Skull should have gotten a Skill ages ago

[young viper]

only Zexal, Arc-V, and Vrains world characters say "I build the Overlay Network!" for Xyz SUmmoning

And only Vrains characters say something about a circuit when they Link SUmmon

AAAAAAnd only Arc-V characters say "setting the Pendulum scale" when Pendulum summoning

little things like that are cool

....I play DL too much lol

anyway SEVENS looks fun go brrr

Yall hype for Battlin' Boxers?

[white stirrup]

I like what the Main Deck does
What I don't really like are the XYZ
They seam underpowered

[young viper]

I like Nova Kaiser bringing back up to 3 monsters but I have no idea how good that is in ladder

[dapper grotto]

Nah, I doubt they'll give their new support. 😦

[fallen kestrel]

Did they get tcg support or smth?

[dapper grotto]

From the Legendary Duelists Fire set

[young viper]

I remember people not shutting about Lead Yoke and he's in it which is good

wait no

He is but not obtainable yet I think?

[fallen kestrel]

Ah ok

Then no it wont I imagine

Also, I opened flower cardian box to make the RARE and NORMAL card deck, and pulled two URs and an SR on my first 3 packs

[white stirrup]

Just dismantle the- oh wait

[fallen kestrel]

[dapper grotto]

Tbf, that would actually tank their profits to 0. Don't think we have a way to buy gems except for weird packs plus gems sale.

[half sphinx]

He's in Alito's level-ups

[fallen kestrel]

Wait I havent done any of the alito event yet

[half sphinx]

So he should become obtainable tommorow

[fallen kestrel]

Oh it only started like yesterday I am fine

[half sphinx]

I would have totally expected them to at least put a less important Vrains character like Akira to be unlockable in September

To give Vrains 3 unlocks

In its first year

[fallen kestrel]

Ai would probs be next character is my guess but I dont know

[half sphinx]

I'm not sure they'd add ignisters just yet

I'm more leaning towards them releasing Ghost Girl or something

Since the early Altergeists are probably fine atm

Or Akira since, you know, Tindangles

Truly the deck of all time

[fallen kestrel]

Just realised, u cant even make a 6 mat arrival cyberse in dl

[half sphinx]

Here is where the magic of skills comes in

[fallen kestrel]

“Gain two extra zones and do stuff”

[half sphinx]

Arrival is unnafected by card effects, but skills aren't cards

So they could just make a skill to bump it to 6k

[fallen kestrel]

As if it would need it

[half sphinx]

Wait, does Dark Templar even work with 3 zones?

[vivid wave]

Dark Templar @Ignister

Rating: Link-3 (↙⬇↘)
[ Cyberse / Link / Effect ]

ATK 2300

3 monsters with different names
If a monster(s) is Special Summoned to a zone(s) this card points to, even during the Damage Step: You can Special Summon as many Level 4 or lower "@Ignister" monsters from your GY as possible to your zone(s) this card points to, but their effects are negated. When this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle: You can Special Summon 1 Cyberse monster from your GY. You can only use each effect of "Dark Templar @Ignister" once per turn.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[half sphinx]

Yeah, it does

Summon 1 from GY

[fallen kestrel]

Can summon 2?

Cos it would point to middle and side zones

[half sphinx]

One arrow would always be blocked

And you need to sunmon to one of the arrows

[fallen kestrel]

?

Yh one would poijt off field, hut other two would be fine

[half sphinx]

But you need to summon to a zone it points to for the eff to activate?

So you have 1 arrow that's blocked because it points out of the field and one where you summoned a monster to

So you only have 1 left

[fallen kestrel]

Wait yeah, didnt read

[half sphinx]

Light Dragon will be the best ignister in DL fr

[quick axle]

Welp... take a look at this:

#1023281026237222943 message

Okay, I didn't call the exact skill, but I called the part of "you can Normal Summon Toon monsters without Tributing", and the part that adds a "Toon World" from outside the deck somehow.

[fallen kestrel]

Do we have the snatch steal card for toons?

[young viper]

Ooh didn't even think of that

[dapper grotto]

No. Not yet.

[young viper]

Is this out yet?

I will literally build Toons rn if it is

[fallen kestrel]

Its a leak I believe

[fallen kestrel]

[quick axle]

It's a leak, yeah.

[fallen kestrel]

Dl is rlly not hitting it for me as of late to be honest, I have what should be the best deck (funny dlm tier list makers say dhero is best) yet I dont wanna play ladder

I have raging pend not d hero btw

I am in gold and literally do not lose duels but its boring and feels unrewarding sometimes

[quick axle]

First time?

[fallen kestrel]

Yeah

First time I have a good deck that’s completely finished, but it feels kinda boring to use it

Go first, yellow button, volo + r4 pass, win

[quick axle]

For me, the feeling is with Duel Links overall, sadly.

I had that same feeling when I pulled cards for Witchcrafter.

[fallen kestrel]

Might actually grind ranked for once to see how insane I go

[quick axle]

I made the deck, but didn't feel too comfortable to use.

[fallen kestrel]

Honestly might go back to my DDD that needs a kepler or two, it feels more varying to play

The most wild thing I do in raging is make zero trish

[pastel lotus]

lol normie trap

the world release doesn't matter, its what they chose to release after the world that counts

[dapper grotto]

I've been feeling pretty meh about DL, but not dissatisfied. Orcust is gone and I can finally grind to KoG with other decent decks.

[pastel lotus]

just grab the gems and run

assault armor pretty funny with dystopiaguy

reset the attack to pop something, then use assault armor's 2nd effect to attack twice

[dapper grotto]

Haven't been able to Silverokket any Odd Eyes players due to not getting that hand I want though. 😭

[pastel lotus]

sept's event lineup looks pretty glum ngl

partly because its kc cup month

[dapper grotto]

Yeah, it's KC Cup and Grandpa rerun basically. Sadge.

But I am looking forward to the gems.

[fallen kestrel]

Kc cup

I might be able to d lvl 20 for once cos I actually have meta

[quick axle]

KC Cup, A.K.A. banlist-o-clock afterwards.

We got lists post-Worlds.

[pastel lotus]

i looked at randompl0x's video of alito dueling, and all he does is say his monsters names

of course the ace will have a little introduction before it

makes me wonder if yuri will also be just say name and end

[pastel lotus]

i am

star cestus actually splashable and has a moderately decent effect

it just lacks protection and floating and floodgate so the standard outs will apply to it (void traphole]

while its generic warrior unga bunga warrior are one of the most oversubsidised groups in the game so they'll go rogue fast

[fallen kestrel]

I predict they free contract with gate and put kepler to 3

Again

[young viper]

I'm seeing what Sevens is in store and then we'll see

Cause they did hit the wall in terms of new series since GO RUSH is ongoing

Ig we could end up getting the World Championship arc world for DM

or even an Egyptian world I could see if they get real desperate

can say I wouldn't be mad at playing as Pharoah Atem or Seto

[quick axle]

We kinda already got that in the Duelist Chronicles that touched upon the events of the WC Cup.

And for the record, Team Taiyo was just a footnote.

[dapper grotto]

Born poor, forgotten like the poor.

[young viper]

fair but I can still see it happening

I hate the Orichalcos and Waking the Dragons arc more than anything but getting new characters would be cool

oh and the Pink guy and his little bro are just Pegasus but again lol

[quick axle]

Not happening, I'm afraid:

1. Both arcs are filler.
2. DM World is based in the manga version of the events.

[young viper]

No ik I just think if Konami wants it to happen it'll happen

Then again that'd be hard to write off since DSOD exists

wait

@quick axle would it "work" if those were character were turned into DM characters instead of a new world ig

[quick axle]

DSoD is not filler.

[young viper]

ik

[mighty bramble]

The chad is mine

[olive sable]

is gouki good rn?

[pastel lotus]

i think their only real advantage is their search for every member, their magic card which grants 4000 atk if used on their link 4, and inability to be in defense position

its good as in it will certainly snag some wins against unprepared opponents

its rogue

[pastel lotus]

i still believe dl team is too afraid to introduce effect veiler so they gave lost wind as a compromise

i get the feeling 2024 will be the vrains catchup year

[pastel lotus]

https://youtube.com/watch?v=Kqm94NKu7iQ

[fallen kestrel]

Dl will not get handtraps imo, or at least not soon

Our only ones atm are crow and meister (remind me if I forgot any ), and they are both gy focused, not field/deck

Something like ash or imperm would never arrive imo

[half sphinx]

Ash and Imperm are prime selection box cards

Not rn, but in 1-2 years for sure

[quick axle]

Sphere Kuriboh, Wightprincess, Kiteroid...

[fallen kestrel]

Bp traps

Nothing that interacts with field massively

[robust void]

do results booster items help you get event points etc faster?

[fallen kestrel]

Yeah

[robust void]

thanks friend

[quick axle]

You asked to mention if you forgot any hand traps, so... yeah.

[fallen kestrel]

Yeah ur not wrong, I just forgot to clarify properly

[quick axle]

And battle traps fell out of flavor.

[pastel lotus]

problem with veiler is that in addition to doing exactly what it says on the card it can easily be fodder for other monsters like anything chaos

trap however aren't banish fodder

lost wind much more tempered in that it activates from field only and can only target special'd stuff but has no duration limit where as veiler tackle both special'd and normal'd stuff but last for only 1 turn

[sleek garnet]

Not really

It's better than traps because you dont need to set it a turn in advance

[pastel lotus]

yeah it doesn't have to worry about field removal

but you know skill prisoner outs veiler already

its still 1 light spellcaster fodder

i often wonder if veiler would be much less used it it says cannot be special summoned from graveyard snd cannot be banished from graveyard

but its true you can veiler if they have opening turn

honest is probably much weaker box bait

its bp attack increase

[sleek garnet]

Said card also needs to be set in advance

If it's turn 1 and you're going second lost wind and warning point aren't affecting the gamestate, veiler is

[pastel lotus]

ehh if they did release it i am sure they would limit 1 so you can't activate all 3 in the same turn

[sleek garnet]

In any case

Trying to decide what to use in the kc cup?

Crystrons maybe?

[quick axle]

If that would work for you, go ahead. Scrap Recycler is Limited 3 currently, IIRC?

[sleek garnet]

Yea i know

[quick axle]

How ironic that Scrap Recycler got limited twice for different reasons.

First it got limited for the sins of Crystron, and now it's limited for the sins of Orcust.

[sleek garnet]

Current build

Only have 1 genex undine so recycler will have to do

Skill is majestic light

[quick axle]

I almost forgot that Undine is an UR from the first 5D's Box.

[quick axle]

Okay, so Lead Yoke for free. That's refreshing.

A bit of a shame that we're still missing on the modern BB support.

[pastel lotus]

lancea worth suing now that most arc-v archetypes exist?

[sleek garnet]

Eh

Destiny hero can wait it out, odd eyes doesnt care, trickstar doesnt care, rokket doesnt care

It only really affects gandora atm

Honestly considering cutting d.d. crow

[fallen kestrel]

Lancea was most used in mermaid format

[pastel lotus]

assault armor is best on d-hero dystopiaguy
