ns 1st monster ss red-eyed dice adjust the level of the 1st resonance device to turn them both the same level

now has access to rank 1 to 6 xyz or level 2,4,6,8,10,12 synchros

normally you shouldn't have to run a potentially brick magic to access xyz but this is what it takes to access more ranks

if using this card make sure to select the larger level monster iirc

since it asks which monster to base the level off of

that condition at the end is so pointless

[white stirrup]

[Lullabind]

Change 1 face-up monster on your opponent's field to face-down Defense Position.

F/L Status: Unreleased (TCG/OCG)

Climax Finale

1 face-up Psychic Type monster on your field gains ATK equal to the number of Psychic Type monsters in your Graveyard] x 100 until the end of this turn.

F/L Status: Unreleased (TCG/OCG)

[white stirrup]

Oh that's Rush Duel stuff

[pastel lotus]

no archetypes mentioned

can't believe chaos soldier is one-upping odd-eyes raging dragon

stupid komoney skills

they always do this with dm monsters once in a while

nothing for buster blader yet

last year was gandora iirc

[pastel lotus]

what does paleozic do?

[pastel lotus]

has anyone tried cramming them into one deck? that isn't trap burn

[fallen kestrel]

Paleo frogs

[karmic crescent]

if you press the kc cup quick match thing before you enter into the kc cup it drops you into casual duels

lmao

[white stirrup]

Lol

[pastel lotus]

so umm toons

do the new ones not have attack embargo on the summoned turn?

[sleek garnet]

They do, except bls

[pastel lotus]

what's lol is the photon sanctuary can generate fodder for toon bewd

and only it since it restricts to light

[quick axle]

[Photon Sanctuary]

[vivid wave]

Photon Sanctuary

Effect

Special Summon 2 "Photon Tokens" (Thunder/LIGHT/Level 4/ATK 2000/DEF 0) in Defense Position. These Tokens cannot attack or be used as Synchro Material. You cannot Summon other monsters the turn you activate this card, except LIGHT monsters.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[quick axle]

Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon is still kinda bad, though.

Anyway... it seems like the new Toon and BLS stuff is kind of interesting?

Plus Tenyi. I wonder what kind of spice will be used for KC Cup, and what will get hit afterwards.

[pastel lotus]

i don't see how tenyi is dangerous

no one has really been able to harnesd the full power of the deck

where is the payoff?

no anime skill backing

timelords are the weird i need to attack you so i can deal non-battle damage to you and win archetype

[sleek garnet]

Baxia

[pastel lotus]

toon also get their burn card now [shadow toon]

[vivid wave]

Shadow Toon

Effect

If you control "Toon World": Target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; inflict damage to your opponent equal to the ATK of that face-up monster. You can only activate 1 "Shadow Toon" per turn.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[sleek garnet]

Tenyi just clears your board and kills you

[pastel lotus]

is baxia the yang zing monster?

[sleek garnet]

Yes

Also, tenyi's absurdly consistent in what it does

[quick axle]

Tenyi also has good recursion, since most pieces search or revive other pieces.

And Vishuda is a Compulsory on legs, IIRC.

[pastel lotus]

its effects needs non-effect monsters on field though

[sleek garnet]

Monk is one

And monk is absurdly easy to make

[pastel lotus]

until someone makes it broken i don't deem it much of a threat

[sleek garnet]

I mean

[pastel lotus]

kcc not equal to dlm tournaments

[sleek garnet]

The deck HAS topped multiple tournaments at this point

[sleek garnet]

Yea, dlm tournaments have better players involved

Also like

You know dlm is not the only group that makes tournaments right?

[small fern]

"Spread your wings and soa- Thing is, I don't dance."

[pastel lotus]

thunder dragon still no fusions

they use dark armed dragon as their interim remover/beater

mainly because they don't actually stay in banished

[pastel lotus]

no shadolls

rise falcon is only used as rank up fodder yeah?

its actual effect is too dependant on the opp's field configuration

basically copycat but xyz

[pastel lotus]

i just looked up ~~pope dante ~~fusion dante and i found it doesn't control the field

its simply untargettable

so even if it were added it would just be a discount moonlight deck

discount as in of inferior quality, not lower price

Good Job for DL to make new Yugi skill "balanced" by resricting XYZ and SYNCHRO for chaos format.

[cold pollen]

Guys when is the banlist coming

[quick axle]

Probably after the KC Cup.

[fallen kestrel]

Lots

[white stirrup]

If you want to run every single staple possible I guss lol

[fallen kestrel]

You have to

It does nothing going first

[pastel lotus]

what's the point of the magistus monster?

[fallen kestrel]

Endymion is basically a free draw 1

Ns it, use its effect to attach artemis from extra deck

Artemis search endymion

Endymion effect to draw, then return either the added endymion or smth u want in deck

[pastel lotus]

destroy the artemis to draw?

[fallen kestrel]

Yeah

After the search it doesnt do anything rlly

Also, game I just want Castel

I have pulled all the tenyi cards and salamander and URs, yet no Castel or Hand

[quick axle]

inb4 Castel is on the last batch.

[fallen kestrel]

Only cards left are generation force, bookmark, castel and hand

I just reset to be honest

[karmic crescent]

my second ashuna was in the second to last pack

i feel the pain

[fallen kestrel]

All the tenyi stuff and my salamander have been acquired, and only 1 castel is needed

[quick axle]

First time?

[karmic crescent]

prob yeah

[fallen kestrel]

My nobledragon for raging pend was on the last pack

Meteorburst was in the first 10 of the box

[fallen kestrel]

And rest of utopia deck can be gotten using other methods

[brisk pawn]

I need calcab, Cherubini, and graff to arrive

[fallen kestrel]

Isnt cherubini the ba link?

[brisk pawn]

Yep

And it could be busted if it’s in the game

All they need to do is release all of the BA cards

[fallen kestrel]

All they need to do is give us all of the [archetype name] cards

[vivid wave]

The True Name

Effect

Declare 1 card name; excavate the top card of your Deck, and if it is the declared card, add it to your hand, then you can add to your hand, or Special Summon, 1 DIVINE monster from your Deck. Otherwise, send it to the GY. You can only activate 1 "The True Name" per turn.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[fallen kestrel]

[mighty bramble]

Kinda pog

[sleek garnet]

Not exactly, you can use rilliona for an in engine double cyclone

[pastel lotus]

game ends if they add lonefire blossom or twin twisters or tornado dragon

Gambling Syndrome kicks in, and now I'm out of Gems.

[white stirrup]

If you want to sweat in Ranked maybe lol

[jaunty radish]

How long are the Destiny Heroes on Tier 1 and when tier list will change ?

[sonic nimbus]

when the next tier list comes into play ig

[quick axle]

The list will probably change when the KC Cup finishes.

So we're kind on a banlist-o-clock.

[jaunty radish]

I see

And something else,can you tell me please how I put side deck ? I
There is setting in settings?

[quick axle]

Irrelevant in ladder.

[jaunty radish]

There is no ? Cause I see slots

[quick axle]

There's no side deck in Duel Links. That only applies for tournaments.

[jaunty radish]

Oh...

Ty

[midnight fable]

yes, because this is a Romin skill

If people run the climax finale skill in psychics, you will only need 1 of each of those 2 cards

bot brought up the cards wrong, heres the full text

level 2 psychics red X means very likely, blue X is a maybe, no X is no way (mainly cuz it's for a future anime world)

[brisk pawn]

Is this decent

[fallen kestrel]

No

Only spells and traps are like dark hole rlly

Other stuff wont help as it stops ba monsters ss

[pastel lotus]

is dsod kaiba a protagonist or simply world opener?

right now he has no bs skills elevating his usage

[quick axle]

DSoD Kaiba is pretty much the protagonist of DSoD.

[brisk pawn]

Ok

[small fern]

i know it'd both be yet another yami yugi skill and never see play, but badly want a well rounded slifer the sky dragon skill similar (but not identical) to Determination to Fight that supports his battle city plays as well as boosting Slifer to some duel links relevance

[young viper]

Wait, why the balls does Shay have lines for Marauding Captain!?

[fallen kestrel]

What, a warrior fighting in a war?

Cos its like xyz fighting against fusion dimension ig

[brisk pawn]

Could their spell help them

[karmic crescent]

The spell is very bad

[fallen kestrel]

Order of chaos is wild

Just got structures to make it, without paira its insane lmao

[pastel lotus]

could someone get me the rundown of who was unlockable from jan to apr of this year? excluding re-runs of course

[fallen kestrel]

Mightve been Shay? My memory doesnt stretch that far back, especially for games

[fallen kestrel]

Current list, it consistently spits out ult leo, can summon it plus r4 with nice hand, aka salamander + lvl 4

I am digging thru new box rn

[sonic nimbus]

Revolver was in Feb iirc

[pastel lotus]

i thought he was january

[sleek garnet]

How good do you think ray V is in the deck?

[pastel lotus]

rum is basically yuugou for the xyz

shouldn't really have to depend on that for the kill

[fallen kestrel]

Well

If u get the effect off, the board wipe is good with v salamander but other than that its not the most common thing ur summoning

[sleek garnet]

I see

[runic rover]

currently at the moment i dont have the newer UR black luster soldier guy.. im aiming to get him. what should i change if anything? 🤔

the blue eyes is just because it says if you use a normal monster it gets an ability or something no?

[white stirrup]

If it destroys a Monster while it was Summoned with one it shuffles the opponents Field in to their Deck
More of a "Win more" effect if you ask me

[dapper grotto]

Dlv 19. I'm almost there

[fallen kestrel]

The skill gives u dm in grave for the effect

Also, cut the dm ritual, u want another copy or two of og bls

No duality because ur deck special summons

Replace super soldier rituals with a chaos form and a synthesis

[small fern]

"What a downer, Maybe turning pro is gonna be a dream forever"

[fallen kestrel]

[fallen kestrel]

Two duels in a row

[quick axle]

Did your opponent ragequit?

[white stirrup]

What was blud even playing?

Toon World Mekk Force?

[fallen kestrel]

Mekks use toon skill

For free column

[fallen kestrel]

Yeah

The yugo I wouldve had double monster negate and a roach

[pastel lotus]

i used lost wind to disable roach once its glorious

so yeah pretty good for dealing with floodgates in monster form while book of moon also does the trick, it isn't permanent

vanilla ritual cannot activate its "effects" once its been lw'd

[midnight fable]

cuz war

[young viper]

Is it that simple? Huh.

Figured it was like, a case of him actually using it in some obscure manga series, much like how Declan has lines for Beast of Talwar

[midnight fable]

yeah many cards have cards they have voicelines for outside of their general deck as neat nods to anime or irl references

Like how Cowboy Kalin has a voiceline for trishula
and why Tori has a voiceline for Orbital 7

[young viper]

Oh, neat.

Still, kinda unexpected all things considered. You'd think Kite would be the one that has lines for Orbital 7, not Tori

...Unless he also does

[small fern]

Arkana has slapped in magic, illusion, and pandora cards (I'm not sure why they're all Arc-V too)

[small fern]

ye he also does

[quick axle]

"You got it, boss!"

[young viper]

Ahhh, gotcha!

[small fern]

Trishula coulda appeared in WRGP but someone was honorable enough to decline.

[sonic nimbus]

Arkana has D/D Pandora as a line b/c his JP name is also Pandora

[pastel lotus]

how is dd viability wise?

tier 3?

[fallen kestrel]

Ddd is a very good rogue option

[jaunty radish]

Agreed

[pastel lotus]

minor complaint but idl this year's stage 1 theme as much as prior years

too orchestral sounding for my tastes

stage 2 haven't heard it yet so i will reserve judgment on that

[pastel lotus]

if i have to assign an archetype to this year's kcc theme it would be noble knights

also i had a win which handcuffs dragon actually helped me secure against red-eyes

so happy to see old cards actually be useful in very rare times

solidarity makes mono type unga bunga fun again

[tawdry crown]

https://www.reddit.com/r/DuelLinks/comments/16g1p52/sevens_reveal_stream_announced_for_the_24/

Oh my

I really need to get on watching Sevens sometime soon

[jaunty radish]

Any help guys ? I did download the game 2 times and he still stuck in the same moment again and again (opponent draw phase and they have open mouth) but notice that is the first duel of the game Kaiba vs yugi when you choose one of them to play as a main character. In duel links support need 1-2 weeks to answer you

[tawdry crown]

If you've already reinstalled the game twice I'd assume internet problems are out of the question.

Only thing I can think of now is whether or not the device properly supports the game

[karmic crescent]

Maybe the tutorial is broken or smth

[tawdry crown]

Alternatively maybe try a different internet network, like phone data or wifi

Duel links can be really finicky with its internet connection

[quick axle]

Good.

[dapper grotto]

Blessed Destiny HEROs, though I've seen a ton of people still using Orcust. Wonder if that's an indicator to hit them again?

[young viper]

man going against pure Orcust annoys me more than any of the skill-reliant decks on ladder rn

And I'm not even used to them before in MD or OCG TCG or w/e

maybe it's cause iit's activating effect after effect after effect after effect

like jesus im just sitting there waiting

[small fern]

So uh... what's Ishizu's main deck look like? clearly it has stronk monsters (that got deleted by crush card)

[pastel lotus]

read the yugipedia page

she only had one duel (vs seto kaiba) and it was rather short so she didn't get to showcase much cards

also i hate this game

first turns take too long

[quick axle]

Ishizu's deck was mostly Earth Fairy monsters.

[pastel lotus]

i can play other mmos without such extreme waits

the recent array of "paragraph sandwich" skills also does not improve the level of enjoyment for me

don't need to remember what the card does now; the skill provides

[small fern]

does it list her graveyard post-crush 🤔?

[pastel lotus]

idk, does takahashi really care about that level of detail?

also she never played any gravekeeper monsters, despite that lining up with her own occupation/role

[pastel lotus]

ok after some playtesting i have deduced why entermate seal eel is not that good, or specifically, its pendulum effect

it only negates a monster on the opposing field and you must do it on your main phase

so its useless turn 1 or whenever they have nothing else to negate

its good against whatever that relies on their continous or trigger effects to stall

but since those are uncommon...

the game already entered the get a good 1st turn or die mode

its stats and level and monster effect means it can only be pure fodder if ever put on the field

[pastel lotus]

also lowkey hoping komoney will release lord of red since its an anime card and we have very little ritual dragons in the game

[small fern]

eh fair nuff

only reason pyramid of light decks are known is funny but inaccurate list within official material (along with what cards were swapped for shining dragon and pyramid of light)
and I'm actually not sure if takahashi had any involvement at all on the [second] first movie

[dapper grotto]

Yup, from what it says, you gotta beat up Jack as Carly without taking any damage in a duel.

[mighty bramble]

I know Tenyi are probably going to hit in the next banlist but who is the character most used to pilot them if you catch my drift

[sleek garnet]

Playmaker due to three effects

[quick axle]

I'd say "Three Effects!" needs a nerf. Tenyi is a bit too new to be nerfed, but who am I to decide?

[white stirrup]

Tenyi doesn't seem that bad

Probably the fairest new thing

[quick axle]

For now, its tier 2 in DLM, alongside BLS.

It can force out interruptions and some other stuff.

[fallen kestrel]

3 effects imo is one of the dumbest skills in game, because it sets any deck that uses it to normally 7k+ lp

Only deck that consistently hits that much dmg in one turn is like raging pend and sometimes bls

Tenyis especially break it as they have such good comeback chances with grave and summon spam

[dapper grotto]

With Orcusts still around they're pretty meh at best.

[pastel lotus]

turn 1 necrovalley beats skill

schuberta going 1st can finally meaningfully disrupt

are thunder dragons cards that float a lot but has no innate disruption capabilities so it had to borrow cards such as photon strike bounzer and dark armed dragon to make up for that deficiency?

all new archetypes looks the same to me, its all about th easy board militarization

[sleek garnet]

Hot take: 3 effects should not be nerfed

Fight me

[pastel lotus]

sometimes they use the non lp gain effect

[white stirrup]

Can't fight someone who allready lost

[pastel lotus]

will there be a difference talking about dl-flavored rush duel vs actual rush duels?

i feel the biggest difference is cardpool atm

[sleek garnet]

Give me one reason why it should

[pastel lotus]

i forgot why dark simorgh didn't take off

[fallen kestrel]

Okay

It gives majority of time an extra 3k lp in a game where it is extremely rare for a deck to be able to put out 6k dmg in one turn let alone 7k

[sleek garnet]

No deck has the space for it

[fallen kestrel]

Especially with decks that have stupid amounts of recursion such as orcust and tenyis abusing it, they basically survive and can play again easily next turn

The person going into it has to choose to do less dmg and set up a decent board, or do more dmg and still not kill and not set up a board, all while playing thru opponents interactions

[sleek garnet]

I'd argue that's a good thing

The skill stops otks in the game and allows for more interactive gameplay

[fallen kestrel]

In some duels

The long game only happens if both ate on 3eff

Are*

[sleek garnet]

Everyone hates odd eyes raging dragon due to how it basically is a "i win" button in most circunstances

[fallen kestrel]

Odd eyes raging is the most win more card ever printed

[sleek garnet]

And realistically tenyi and orcust are only winning on t3 if the opponent over extended and has no resources left

[sleek garnet]

No?

That's like saying accesscode is winmore

[fallen kestrel]

In order to get it out

U need 3 monsters minimum, for a monster that ultimately is destruction on a non quick effect, bom bonks it

At least trish banishes and doesnt die to the most common card in the game

[sleek garnet]

Dragonpit magician's backrow removal is just good enough that if the opponent board is weak raging can just blow stuff up

[fallen kestrel]

As a raging player, I summon trish more often than raging

[sleek garnet]

Like, trickstar isnt setting much backrow, for example

[fallen kestrel]

If the opponents board is weak u would win anyways tho, regardless of raging

Especially counting the mst pend

[sleek garnet]

I'd also argue that 3E needs to exist simply because it's currently the only "good" generic skill

Before vrains people were on life boost alpha simply because there weren't better options

3E is fulfilling a niche no other skill is doing and i think that's healthy for the game

Also like

The decks that use arent that good tbh

Pure orcust is arguably weaker than the gandora version, and tenyi is both very new and a type of deck people werent prepared for

[pastel lotus]

duel standby was one generic skill that kept getting nerfed from inception

reasons range from burn to enabling iwato

[quick axle]

The extra draw was that good. The final iteration of the skill was nerfed enough to be unusable.

[sleek garnet]

But yea like

I simply dont think "it stops the game from ending on turn 2" is enough justification to nerf the skill

[pastel lotus]

a lot of it have to do with the individual power of cards increasing but yeah it was too good for otks

[quick axle]

Konami has nerfed skills for making the game taking too long.

Or cards that put stalemates.

One-Card Wonder comes to mind.

It was used for stall.

[sleek garnet]

This was still about 3 effects

For clarification's sake

[quick axle]

Anyway... only Konami knows for sure.

Destiny Draw wasn't nerfed ever again, the skills around that became much more powerful.

[pastel lotus]

idk how else you can nerf such an iconic skill further without outright making it unusable

[quick axle]

Destiny Draw was nerfed enough so didn't need more nerfs, from what I can recall.

[pastel lotus]

its a skill that activates only during the draw phase anyways

those usually gets passed over

[sleek garnet]

Destiny draw honestly fell off a lot

[quick axle]

Yes.

[pastel lotus]

because mah autopilot skills

[quick axle]

Handtraps became a thing of yesteryear once links were released.

[pastel lotus]

destiny draw also doesn't build field on its own

you could use it to get a card that builds field

[sleek garnet]

Decks became more consistent to the point where they would rather play interactive non engine as opposed to stuff like battlin boxer veil

[quick axle]

Which can be bricks in the wrong times.

[sleek garnet]

And otks became prevalent enough to the point where getting below 2k lp and not die is hard to manage

[pastel lotus]

first they released lightning vortex

then black hole

[quick axle]

What's next? Raigeki as a Limited 1 bundle?

[pastel lotus]

also ironically link revolution was the box that boosted black magician

[sleek garnet]

Also

Low key

Skills like raging pend, destiny effect and soul of light and darkness are good for the game

And honestly necessary

[quick axle]

But there's people who don't like multiple activations of skills per turn.

Order of Chaos, for example.

[sleek garnet]

As much as people like to complain about it

[pastel lotus]

i don't mind raging pend

chaos soldier still dies to void trap hole

any deck that can prepare for 3000s popping up can deal with it

[sleek garnet]

You dont?

[quick axle]

True dat, but... what decks can run Void Trap Hole instead of staples?

[pastel lotus]

no because i run field plucks

[sleek garnet]

You seem to complain almost daily about "autopilot skills"

And raging pend is kinda the poster child of that

[pastel lotus]

for an easy to read ed beater

yugi's skills are far more obnoxious imo

[sleek garnet]

But yea like

[sleek garnet]

Duel links is at its very core an anime roleplaying game

[pastel lotus]

kcc destroys that concept

[sleek garnet]

As the cardpool increased so did the gap between the anime archetypes and game originals

No one would want to summon an odd eyes monster if they could activate dingirsu

[pastel lotus]

toons skill is lowkey terrifying too now that they don't have to tribute

[sleek garnet]

The skills, as overloaded as they are, bridge that gap very well

[fallen kestrel]

As a person who played/plays raging and is moving towards new utopi, yellow button decks are like

They are fun and cool

But they all die to something

[sleek garnet]

Skills also promote unique playstyles you dont see outside of duel links

[fallen kestrel]

Pend die to roach for example

[sleek garnet]

The way bls and gandora play simply cannot be replicated in the tcg

[pastel lotus]

komoney only promotes protagonist only rituals

[fallen kestrel]

Yeah

[pastel lotus]

no lord of red or cyber angel skills

[fallen kestrel]

Why would they

Cyber angel used to be good

[pastel lotus]

they are anime

[fallen kestrel]

And we dont have lord of red do we?

[sleek garnet]

Tbf they dont support rituals in general outside of relinquished and bls

[fallen kestrel]

Every deck has its time unless it is an mc, in which case they have multiple decks that are relevant over time

[pastel lotus]

also cyber angel was only good because they didn't have much competation or floodgates

[fallen kestrel]

Onomats and utopi are two diff decks

[pastel lotus]

once those were abundant it lost its foothold

[fallen kestrel]

Thing is

This is probs the most diverse meta we have seen in ages for dl

[sleek garnet]

But yea like

I simply dont get why people hate dl for skills and simply dont play md instead

[fallen kestrel]

Thing is

[quick axle]

I play MD because it feels more fun and less P2W if you know what you're doing.

[fallen kestrel]

People will hate skills for being broken, then be annoyed when a deck with no skill is too good cos of broken cards

[sleek garnet]

TRUE

[pastel lotus]

skills have no ranking system or mana cost

[sleek garnet]

Stuff like the dl discord and subreddit have been salt mines since 2018

[quick axle]

People will always hate broken decks, that's an inevitability.

[pastel lotus]

nothing that really hurts you from running a big one

besides photon level restrictions

[quick axle]

I just like... dude, play what you want to play, nobody's your dad.

[fallen kestrel]

Orcust which yes arguably uses 3eff optimally, used to use switcheroo, yet it was still best in game at the time it did

[sleek garnet]

They do have deckbuilding restrictions though

[pastel lotus]

yes some

[fallen kestrel]

Order of chaos has a pretty beefy restriction

[sleek garnet]

What was the latest big one in the past year that didnt?

[fallen kestrel]

Raging

[sleek garnet]

Odd eyes is the biggest offender but like

Pend by design forces you to be a bit xenophobic

You HAVE to run 10-12 archetype cards regardless

[pastel lotus]

yuya will have 5 animations if starve venom releases

[fallen kestrel]

Thing is

If raging skill gets nerfed

Its so easy to kill it

Like just make it unusable

[pastel lotus]

i mean yuya has other add pendulum zone skills to fall back on

there was one for tuning magician iirc

[fallen kestrel]

But none of them give a free raging

Only other relevant skills have been generic ones I believr

And xiangke and xiangsheng one before raging skill was released

But that deck was

[sleek garnet]

One thing i do wish tho

Is that konami just buffed old skills instead of making new ones

The quasar skill should be a shooting star road buff instead i feel

[fallen kestrel]

The thing is for me right

[pastel lotus]

yes another paragraph will do nicely

[sleek garnet]

My guy

[pastel lotus]

and they do change master of rites

[fallen kestrel]

Only relevant skills nowadays are character specific ones rlly

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[sleek garnet]

Ahem

This is the game with [endymion master of magic] in it

[vivid wave]

Endymion, the Mighty Master of Magic

Level: 7 | Pendulum Scale: 8
[ Spellcaster / Pendulum / Effect ]

ATK 2800 / DEF 1700

Pendulum Effect

You can remove 6 Spell Counters from your field; Special Summon this card from the Pendulum Zone, then count the number of cards you control that can have a Spell Counter, destroy up to that many cards on the field, and if you do, place Spell Counters on this card equal to the number of cards destroyed.

[fallen kestrel]

They either have to nerf and not release as broken character specific skills, or buff old generic skills

[sleek garnet]

If people didnt like long texts they would have switched to mtg long time ago

[sleek garnet]

3 effects isnt

🙂

[fallen kestrel]

Isnt it playmaker only?

[pastel lotus]

most char skills are mid except one from gift or lifetime missions

[sleek garnet]

Yes

[sleek garnet]

The level 20 skills usually are pretty decent

For newer characters mostly

[fallen kestrel]

Well thats what I meant, like only 1 character has them or that kinda thing, mightve made it sounds like something else

[pastel lotus]

except alito

[fallen kestrel]

Problem

[pastel lotus]

he's was just another level change

[sleek garnet]

Yea i feel that

Still want a un-nerf to beatdown

Or the draw sense skills

[fallen kestrel]

I agree completely

[sleek garnet]

Draw sense spell/trap got nerfed due to a card that's currently banned

Kinda funny

[pastel lotus]

but most generic draw sense have no nerfs?

the only one i can recall is sorcery conduit

[fallen kestrel]

I mean at end of day, roach or dweller will kill any deck in meta

[sleek garnet]

I meant stuff like sorcery conduit, yea

And Light and Dark

I miss light and dark

[fallen kestrel]

Back to anime skills tho

[pastel lotus]

you mean hey trunade?

[fallen kestrel]

The bls one has been getting hate

[sleek garnet]

Grass

[fallen kestrel]

And I think the main issue is the accessibility of it

Anyone can make a new acc and have a full bls list for less than 10k gems

No cash either

[sleek garnet]

People hate the game for being p2w until the deck that costs 4k gems gets popular on ladder

SMH

[fallen kestrel]

Raging requires money, utopia needs money

[quick axle]

Mostly everything needs money, and gems are kinda scarce.

[fallen kestrel]

One thing however, not seen a single person whine about dhero skill

[sleek garnet]

Just look at r/duellinks

[pastel lotus]

because it needs to buy zillion thunder

[sleek garnet]

Problem solved

[fallen kestrel]

[sleek garnet]

Altho the complaint mainly seems to be that

The deck can play trap cards

[pastel lotus]

maybe that other box if it wants to play sunrise

[sleek garnet]

Small engine space, the horror

[pastel lotus]

and that old structure deck

destiny hero for a long time was not in regular boxes

[fallen kestrel]

See

This is the thing

Half the time I think of ways to balance decks its just hit some core card to 3

[sleek garnet]

I mean

They can play a lot of backrow mainly because the skill lets any normal summon become a dystopia

[fallen kestrel]

Thats if they can activate effects in the gy

[pastel lotus]

its not a completely ed-dependant skill

[fallen kestrel]

The fusion deck

[pastel lotus]

thry can still opt for bloo-d if they wished to

[fallen kestrel]

Isnt ed dependant?

[sleek garnet]

Nope

They play 1 dystopia and maybe 2 sunrises if they feel like it

[fallen kestrel]

And the ffs

Bcs its that good

[sleek garnet]

Ffs?

[fallen kestrel]

Ferocious flame swordsman

[sleek garnet]

Ah

Fair

[fallen kestrel]

I think staples are a whole diff convo in dl

[sleek garnet]

But yea, i think malding about generic staples of all things was always a bit dumb

[pastel lotus]

no one runs d cubic because its simple field filler

[sleek garnet]

Shiranui was fine and i will die on this hill

[fallen kestrel]

Only staple I think is just downright stupid that I want gone is idp

If it comes to main box which it will later this yr I imagine, it will be dumb

[pastel lotus]

its a different tth

gets rid of 2 monsters ideally

why did ppl used to play wlc again?

[fallen kestrel]

Wlc?

[sleek garnet]

World legacy clash

[fallen kestrel]

Oh that

[sleek garnet]

It protected shien

Also facilitated otks once in a while

[fallen kestrel]

But yh idp too broken pls ban konami

Banishing 1 from opponents grave and field

[pastel lotus]

are psy-frame playable?

[fallen kestrel]

Anyways imma stop coping on idp being good and skills existing, gn people

[sleek garnet]

No

They kinda need stuff like gamma, omega and etele

They dont even have delta currently

No overload either

Anyway

Foolish burial bundle, yes or no?

[pastel lotus]

foolish burial goods maybe

nyet to first question

[sleek garnet]

Ngl

Kinda wild how blue eyes has got absolutely nothing since the structure deck

Meanwhile dm got 3 waves of support

[quick axle]

They got an useless structure.

[sleek garnet]

Still counts tho

Both the twin burst sd and the dark paladin sd were mainly to reprint stuff

[pastel lotus]

no skills either since dsod

duelist road gave kaiba an obelisk the tormentor skill

the biggest boost to the deck was beawd which was a 4th anniversary reward

its a milestone not an event

but sevens wil keep it relevant since one of the characters used bewd

make chaos max a bundle card

it still needs to actually attack to be game ending

[sleek garnet]

I wish we got jet and abyss dragon

Maybe a deep eyes skill?

More copies of alternative would also be nice

Speaking of things that didnt get supported in a while

What happened to cydra?

Deck's more popular than blue eyes and dm and hasnt got support since the zexal era

[white stirrup]

Popular where?

[sleek garnet]

In the tcg mostly

#deckbuilding has a cydra r/f at least once a week

In dl it's a bit more skewed in dm's favor because of magician's magic

Still more popular than bewd tho

Also

Where tf is shaddoll?

[pastel lotus]

predator plants could use more than 1 fusion

also more anime antique gear fusion pls

[sleek garnet]

I legit cannot wait for the eventual code talker sd

[quick axle]

Or Decode Talker Heatsoul.

[sleek garnet]

I can live without heatsoul

We need stuff like codec

And more of the mini coders

Transcode would be the cherry on top

[pastel lotus]

is there any rank-up-magic that can go into photon strike bounzer?

also i like to bring up cyber angel because contrary to a lot of decks today, it never had a custom-tailored skill

it either used generic ritual-related skills or mind scan

it was the victim of being released at the wrong time rather than actually unbeatable

[pastel lotus]

chat ded

will next event skill make sugoroku GOAT?

kc cup ends 9/18/2023 japan time

[pastel lotus]

also who remembers that yugi muto skill called seal of the puzzle?

that was basically a floodgate in skill form

star blast enabled it

[sleek garnet]

Access denied?

[pastel lotus]

yes that seems correct

idk english names for anything except always iconic monsters

[sleek garnet]

There was also one that involved that one chazz skill

[pastel lotus]

perhaps the cracks in skill design showed up then

[sleek garnet]

That summoned 3 ojama tokens to the opponent's field

[pastel lotus]

yes that was the ojama token skill

because lockdown

and minor burn if you got rid of the tokens

[sleek garnet]

Funnily enough

A guy got dlv20 this season with ojama king turbo

[pastel lotus]

woot

i stop trying after dv 18

[sleek garnet]

The combo is that you use rescue rabbit to summon 2 bunnilas, activate where arf thou to grab d.d. sprite, use cattle call to summon king from the extra deck, d.d. sprite banishes the king, king comes back, and it locks the zones

[pastel lotus]

funny thing is i got deranked to dv 17 by montage dragon

[sleek garnet]

Where arf thou burns you for 2k damage, so you use draw sense high level

[pastel lotus]

they used no searching and i had no handtraps

[sleek garnet]

To grab jinzo

And tribute summon it with the sprite as fodder

It's surpisingly consistent

[pastel lotus]

cattle call

lol

its not used for serena's stuff

[sleek garnet]

Altho tbh

At that point the psychic blade ftk is probably better

[pastel lotus]

i like skills that don't give a long laundry list of what cards are involved

soul of light and darkness being the most recent example of the opposite

[sleek garnet]

I wish they buffed storm access

It was THE skill during vrains

And here it's useless

[pastel lotus]

its a draw phase skill?

[sleek garnet]

No

It only has the requirement of having 1000lp or lower to trigger

And it's random

[pastel lotus]

playmaker don't got 'hit

idk why but vrains seems to have this theme of liking the old stuff

its ok not to upgrade

revolver using old dm era backrow

yusaku just using the old non-network connected duel disk

aoi changes decks and had great performances but never secure a plot significant win except once

[pastel lotus]

i forgot why linkuriboh became a rare sight

it negates traps only?

[pastel lotus]

hot take but i liked kcc more than legacy

legacy is a sham

[pastel lotus]

https://youtube.com/watch?v=HuW9FzyUCTc

too much swiss army knife skills

also non-yami yugi got like 3 gift skills this year so far

3rd one is not shared with yami yugi but with manjoume instead

its a lv monster skill

only 2 of the skills are hotness but still doesn't change he gets too much

[pastel lotus]

also i hate how the skills went you don't need tribute anything to ns (insert monster name here)

can't use special summon punish cards on them

and uhh if you can't cut their momentum they will just keep gaining field

we have one for yugi, judai, and pegasus

[sleek garnet]

That's linguriboh

[jaunty radish]

Can someone give me advice of what decklist of Teniy in DLM should I use ?

[quick axle]

Whatever floats your boat. Also, not a good idea to invest on decks at this juncture.

The end of the KC Cup is near, and so, a new banlist.

[stray edge]

I'm new to Yugioh, and I'm having trouble building my deck in Duel Links. I've been trying to use the auto build feature, but it makes worse decks than me lol, could I get some help?

[jaunty radish]

No problem I got all the teniy cards x3 so...I like the deck anyway but yes light box I did think that banlist is coming and that deck is tier 2. I hope I get lucky

Also what is tha new in dl app ? In 13oct -18oct we must have the Android version 8.1 to be able to play ? I got the 5.1 and I see that is the newest for now in my phone.

[dapper grotto]

The Duel Links Meta site has done wonders for me in searching up top decks.

https://www.duellinksmeta.com/top-decks

[fallen kestrel]

Using meta deck works or something

Yellow button broken

Nerf

[quick axle]

What yellow button?

[fallen kestrel]

The raging pend one

No wisdom eyes bcs yh

[fallen kestrel]

This is board btw

Scales + endy + lvl 4

Otherwise its regular raging

[stray edge]

Thanks for the advice! Currently working on making a blue eyes deck from the website

[mighty bramble]

What the heck is a secret mission

[fallen kestrel]

It tells u doesnt it?

[mighty bramble]

I don’t think so

[fallen kestrel]

Oh

[pastel lotus]

i broke the 1500 days of login lifetime mission today!

perfectly when the game is going to 💩

i will still login and do missions that require pvp but my goodwill for this work and its future has been sharply abated to 0

hope unity changes hit their duel pass earnings

i feel like meta is just whatever that works with the newest gift skills

some little exceptions like orcust but

also i decided to invest gems into rage of volcano and phantom of rebellion than the pick up box

bc when the craze is over and or skill gets hit they will be nothing

also lowkey hate the uptick in mini-events

preferred actual events like dimension towers

not reskinned pvp events

stares hard at duelist kingdom and into the vrains

don't want to put english paragraphs in surveys while playing the jp version

but i long felt they were placebos

k i ranted

back to you sports announcer

[small fern]

besides manga adherence, honestly dunno what's holding back the gallop exclusives

[fallen kestrel]

Events have become stale

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk

[midnight fable]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/313433143963025408/1152996429170741318/image.png?width=710&height=312

got the gem stonks

[dapper grotto]

Excellent. Now we can pray for the new box to be good.

[white stirrup]

Waiting for the next Selection Box so I can spent all my Gems on that 3rd Tour Guide while getting everything else I don't care for

just put her in the small Cardpack Box for real Money again

[midnight fable]

the main box at end of month will be good regardless

[dapper grotto]

That is, if they do a Main Box and not a Rush Duel box lol

Also, i better prepare for my Rokket heart to be broken. https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/942933920851296267/1153126533603545088/Screenshot_20230917_173103_Duel_Links.jpg

[midnight fable]

then we're talking about two different things, rush duel boxes are still main boxes 100% sure

[dapper grotto]

You mean mixing Rush Duel cards with Speed Duel cards in one box? That would not go well imo.

[midnight fable]

No

🤦‍♀️

[dapper grotto]

I'd be fine if they do simultaneous releases of a Rush Duel Box and one Speed Duel box.

Every month.

[midnight fable]

When I say main box I mean there will be
Speed Main Box
And Rush Main Box
and both will additionally get mini boxes on top

[dapper grotto]

Ah, alrighty then. 👌

[pastel lotus]

ok i think i figured out what makes these new skills meta waves so irritating

its not quite the skills themselves but how often it seems to be

magcian's magic: mar 2023

raging pendulum: june 2023

crystal wing acceleration: also june 2023

bonds that illuminates the future: ???

soul of light and darkness: sept 2023

they seem to want to give out a skill every season

wonder what winter's slated skill inclusion will be

komoney is no longer using only banlist and sdex releases to induce meta variance anymore

also want to give out my reason on why magic cylinders petered out amongst even causal decks

it is a battle trap which targets and has a slight chance to lethal them

it does not alter board configurations

burn doesn't matter until it actually ensures lethal

[pulsar ferry]

toxic

[sleek garnet]

Me when people use good decks

[pulsar ferry]

KC cup is over i never broke my 50% ratio my highest was 25k thats just above rank 1000 but i had to get more to solidify my rank. Dropped to below rank 2000

fuck yugio

i thought BLS was meta
goodbye kc cup is over and now so is my life

[pastel lotus]

it got a skill subsidy

which was the only reason it was meta

otherwise they were just 3000 beatsticks that needed to be ritual'd and had hardly any control element

yes tryhards you can go back to hibernation mode now

i am sure they will still release non-rd content for the holiday months

could be another tag duel tournament

or if arc-v needs more entrants dennis/yuri/rin

[pastel lotus]

do we know if rd will be playable as non-sevens chars?

[fallen kestrel]

How dare I use a meta deck in order to get gems to build a non meta deck

[pastel lotus]

yuma is the only protagonist to not have his kuriboh version in game

beside dsod's clear kuriboh

also funny thing is we gotten no versions swords of dotdotdot so far

except dsod yugi's one skill that is only useable in a tag duel

[sleek garnet]

we got it as a level up reward now

also kurivolt is in the game

it's on infinity ray

[pastel lotus]

no not that

[rainbow kuriboh]

[vivid wave]

Rainbow Kuriboh

Level: 1
[ Fiend / Effect ]

ATK 100 / DEF 100

Effect

You can only use each effect of "Rainbow Kuriboh" once per turn.
●When an opponent's monster declares an attack: You can target that attacking monster; equip this card from your hand to that monster. It cannot attack.
●When an opponent's monster declares a direct attack while this card is in your GY: You can Special Summon this card, but banish it when it leaves the field.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[dapper grotto]

Can't believe how many Kuribohs were in ZEXAL.

Kuriphoton, Rainbow Kuriboh, Kurivolt...oh, right. Galactikuriboh isn't in ZEXAL, nvm lol.

[quick axle]

And then there's also Astralkuriboh, which isn't in ZEXAL either.

[sleek garnet]

Tbf

It was in the zexal manga

[drowsy holly]

Shame destiny heroes is probably going to get hit, I'm really enjoying it.

[pastel lotus]

which ones?

what about their current strategy is problematic?

even without sunriser they can function

[quick axle]

Liquid Soldier and Malicious should conflict.

[jaunty radish]

When they will post news about new banlist ?

[quick axle]

When it's posted.

Probably in a few days.

@jaunty radish Has the banlist been posted, or nothing?

[jaunty radish]

Now I did log in nothingg

[quick axle]

OK. Then probably in a few days, hopefully.

[jaunty radish]

Is here !

Go check

The orcust will still the same ?

[quick axle]

Cannot check.

Don't have the game installed.

[jaunty radish]

Teniy don't hittet 💚

Oh

[quick axle]

FORBIDDEN / LIMITED LIST UPDATE (SEPTEMBER 28TH, 2023)

Limited 1

• Shooting Riser Dragon

Limited 2

• Lady Debug
• Madolche Petingcessoeur (from Limited 1)

Limited 3

• Dragonpit Magician
• Destiny HERO Malicious

Unlimited

• Lunalight Yellow Marten
• Thunder Dragondark
• Tatsunoko
• Dark Contract with the Gate
• Speedroid Fuki-Modoshi Piper
• Speedroid Double Yoyo
• Mekk-Knight Indigo Eclipse
• Farfa, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss
• Ritual Beast Tamer Elder

@desert dawn

[quick axle]

Speedroid unlimits are reasonable, since the skill was nerfed to uselessness.

[olive sable]

will there be a skill rebalance

[quick axle]

For the moment no, but we don't know if we'll get one.

Skill rebalances are kind of a wild card overall.

[olive sable]

i doubt mali to 3 is gonna do much to destiny hero

[quick axle]

Actually, it cuts them significantly from staples

So you cannot play Malicious and other three Limited 3 staples anymore.

Usage rate according to DLM, Crackdown was used at 3 copies alongside 2 Malicious.

Now, with the banlist, you can only play another Limited 3 card alongside the 2 Malicious, and there's no way you're running less than 2 Malicious.

[olive sable]

i see

[jaunty radish]

[quick axle]

It doesn't cut the consistency of the deck, but it cuts them off from staples for the most part.

[sonic nimbus]

mali limited 3 but only 2 copies available kekw

[quick axle]

OK. So Riser and Dragonpit Magician are Odd-Eyes hits. The former conflicts with Raging Dragon and the latter conflicts with Pendulum Call and other Limited 3 cards.

[sonic nimbus]

yoooo yellow marten unlim

[sleek garnet]

THUNDER DRAGONDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARK

[quick axle]

My takeaway of this is:

• Odd-Eyes gets a significant hit on Dragonpit and Riser Dragon. Probably still going to perform.
• Destiny HERO got a light hit. It's still going to be consistent, but they're not going to have access to staples as much.

@sleek garnet Dunno if that's about right.

[sleek garnet]

Honestly

Them losing pit is bigger than it seems

Means they lose their in engine backrow removal

[quick axle]

Because Pendulum Call.

[sleek garnet]

Also means that the magistus engine is unplayable

Deck will probably fall off to rogue if i'm being honest

[quick axle]

Why unplayable? Sorry if I'm a bit out of the loop.

[sleek garnet]

Riser setups was kinda the reason you used it

You can still tecnically use it just for a normal summon, as bls is currently doing

But it's much worse

Btw, 0 orcust and rokket nerfs

We take those

[quick axle]

And now Rider conflicts with Raging Dragon, so... yeah.

[pastel lotus]

crimson fox never got off the list

[sonic nimbus]

What's Lunalight looking like now that Marten is free

Also someone ping me when Serena rerun happens

[quick axle]

You can run 3 copies of Marten, 3 copies of Emerald Bird.

[small fern]

why's cocytus forbidden if superheavy samurais live unhindered, is it because WATER is bonkers with it?

[quick axle]

Cocytus was forbidden back in the day because it cannot be destroyed or targeted by card effects, which limited the number of outs to it.

Which currently it's kind of a wash with stuff like Dingirsu roaming around.

[karmic crescent]

cocytus was nigh unkillable

i'd argue it shouldn't come back even if a meta deck can get rid of it, cause it'll only cause problems down the road

[quick axle]

Outs were limited to stuff like: Herald of the Abyss, Floodgate Trap Hole...

But I'd argue that we currently have more ways to get rid of a Cocytus.

Heck, @karmic crescent, don't you forget we also have Kaiju cards.

Which makes the entire point of nigh unkillable monsters kind of a wash.

[karmic crescent]

the issue is not that there are outs now

the game is a low power no side game (outside tourneys)

if invoked makes a cocytus and you have no outs you eat crow

meaning you always have to keep that in mind deckbuilding wise, which is imo terrible gameplay wise

[quick axle]

Fair point.

[karmic crescent]

ooh you decided to play bom instead of flood, guess i die

[quick axle]

[Ice Dragon's Prison]

[vivid wave]

Ice Dragon's Prison

Effect

Target 1 monster in your opponent's GY; Special Summon it to your field, but its effects are negated, then, you can banish 1 monster from both players' fields that have the same Type as each other. You can only activate 1 "Ice Dragon's Prison" per turn.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[quick axle]

Hmm... probably not this.

[karmic crescent]

i doubt invoked plays dragons

ig if you play dragons yourself, but again, that's a deckbuilding cost

[quick axle]

Seems like most staples are useless.

Because most of them "target".

[fallen kestrel]

Pure odd eyes still playable I reckon

The original r7 + r4 pass

Just need 3 wisdom 2-3 summoners art

[indigo grail]

Man Duel Links’ meta feels like a literal skill issue

[dapper grotto]

True that, it's alot more complicated since VRAINS era.

[indigo grail]

If I took a shot for every time a deck was good because of a broken skill in the history of this game

I’d be very fucking dead from alcohol poisoning

[sleek garnet]

Yea

[dapper grotto]

TBF, that has happened throughout its history.

But the skills were more generic.

Noble Knights with Balance for example.

Sylvans with Grit.

[sleek garnet]

We went from stuff like 3 star demotion to most of the anime skills

It's just a lot more self evident now since most skills are now relegated to anime archetyles

[indigo grail]

Yuma and Astral started this

[dapper grotto]

Yeah, the skills are less generic and more akin into archetypes now...kinda like how regular YGO started.

[indigo grail]

Anime arch exclusive skills being busted

[sleek garnet]

I'd argue it was shooting star road exactly

Onomatoplay was good but tame

[dapper grotto]

We went from generic pile decks to archetype decks in the regular game.

[sleek garnet]

SSR just read "Pushed"

But yea

Konami always wanted the game to essentially serve as a way to roleplay the anime

But around the DSoD-Zexal era they kinda ran out of bad non-anime archetypes to put in the game

So in turn they had to ramp up the power ceiling of skills

[small fern]

magician's call + raging pendulum = 75% I Win!

[sleek garnet]

Post list draft

Looks decent

Anyway i now realize i need to go into fanstical arc

Need virgil + baxia

[quick axle]

Thundra probably cope?

[sleek garnet]

Yes but it's funny

[sudden rapids]

https://duellinks.konami.net/att/073681469ac887754f8a6d3e1481ee61fd53ad3b6e

[rich ingot]

even i, a guy named after alcohol, would collapse after idk blue eyes

[white stirrup]

Does Blue Eyes even have a Skill?

I can't remember

[fallen kestrel]

Yeah

Pretty bad tho

Even a skill couldnt save such a god awful deck

[white stirrup]

Oh yeah no it could

"You can Normal Summon Blue Eyes monsters without Tribute"
Would do a lot on it's own lol

[pastel lotus]

skill releases also became more frequent this year, as i have highlighted already

its to drive meta variance

[pastel lotus]

you can use the dice skill to do that

4/6 probabilty it will be normal summonable without needing field material

i think even if blue-eyes chaos max dragon came out as a box card it wouldn't save the deck from irrelevancy

just putting out generic beatsticks isn't enough now and most blue-eyes monsters are just that, no quick effects either other than dragon of white's 2nd effect

the interesting thing about vanilla bewd is that you cannot fiendish chain it

also its too dependant on getting stone in the graveyard to build field and getting thise discard traps to go off to actually sort out threats

hoping for artifact durandel in 2025

bujin also suffer from needing cards in the graveyard to actually do things syndrome

[jaunty radish]

It will changed anything in game play when new world released ?

Cause I did read on Google in sevens they draw more than one card

[small fern]

they fill to five iirc (tho at least they don't immediately draw once they run out of moves..?)

[sleek garnet]

@midnight fable DL rush seems like it will have 30-40 card decks and 6k lp

According to the datamines

Also, coin

[midnight fable]

huh, interesting

[fallen kestrel]

New currency means I can avoid touching rush to the max

Le unga bunga is not for me

[midnight fable]

what new currency?

[fallen kestrel]

The one I hope we get

[small fern]

o thought that was rush coin (different from milenium)

[midnight fable]

its the go first/second coin

[dapper grotto]

The 7 Coin kekw

We can pray this will be the only currency for Rush Duel packs, and not in combination with gems lmao.

[sleek garnet]

Something worth noting

We got a new pack opening animation where the kuribohs are replaced by kuribots

This probably indicates that rush will have their own packs

[dapper grotto]

I'm only worried if they use gems in addition to the new currency...along with whether each month will be a new Speed Duel Box AND Rush Duel box, or are they interchanging.

[pastel lotus]

what is undeniable is that the filesize will bloat exorbitantly yet again

i already play on pc so don't affect me

[pastel lotus]

also for the ultimate troll move komoney could just cut the gift gems to 500 and have the other 500 be whatever the new currency is

[pastel lotus]

nvm it is 1000 gems plus tickets for each additional day you login

[pastel lotus]

again only want the lame rewards so i can play oppressive magician to unlock the animation

you have to unlock animation for each alt art card you use

hahahaha

still not something that's due for qol

[sleek garnet]

[dapper grotto]

Just a week away from destroying my hopes and dreams.

At least, I hope not

...Uh oh.

I don't see another currency in there.

[sleek garnet]

Account has less than 1 bazillion gold

RUSH PACKS COST GOLD LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[dapper grotto]

[pulsar ferry]

lmao

Gojo is dead btw

[pulsar ferry]

i dont care i stopped playing this game when i didnt make top 1000 in KC cup

i dont know what rush duels even are

[quick axle]

Welcome to the club.

[sleek garnet]

Why did you even ping me?

[fallen kestrel]

Guess I really am not playing rush

[dapper grotto]

Unless we're spending gold on these Rush Duel packs, they really should've just made it into its own app.

[pastel lotus]

yes but it likes to use the existing recognition of their other products so

at least its 100% ignorable

you just have to not mind forgoing some of the rewards if you don't engage with the new world

normal ladder might be a tad easier when everyone is flocking to rush duel

it is merely a diversion after all

[pastel lotus]

i still hope for dennis/rin/tsukikage even if rd promotion will cut into that

[drowsy holly]

Yeah really hoping I can just ignore the rush duel stuff lmao

[pastel lotus]

you can but it will affect konami's event lineup

[sleek garnet]

Thinking of making a secondary account for rush, myself

[sleek garnet]

@midnight fable i just noticed saburamen and yosh are npcs

[midnight fable]

yeah

but sushi ninjas got a skill

[sleek garnet]

I wanted noodle ninja voicelines

[midnight fable]

so dont panic yet

[quick axle]

There's like 4 alien beings that look kinda the same, but not really?

[sleek garnet]

Kinda

[quick axle]

Same voice actress, kinda similar naming conventions, but they were all different.

[sleek garnet]

Altho the aliens thing are mostly addresed in go rush

[quick axle]

I mean, that specific one.

Sorako and the other three or four.

[sleek garnet]

Yea

Noodles Sorako, Finger Chikako, and Sweets Kakoko

[midnight fable]

[small fern]

wait a minute, david's rush dueling

[jaunty radish]

The Solomons Event is great character farming 😄

[pastel lotus]

yeah just have to nix the trap though

game's getting old

but the 2 cards his rerun added were actually 2021 cards 💀

so he's not truly an old gen player

[jaunty radish]

Yea

[pastel lotus]

i can't download ever crisis on my phone

don't feel like being forced to use bluestacks to play it

[young viper]

duel links ?

fck up

i play a both pc and phone

[kindred kettle]

Can anyone rate my deck? It doesn't have fusion, link, synchro or xyz summons yet, but I plan to add them in the future

[fallen kestrel]

1/10

Amano is only good card there

[white stirrup]

Mirror Force is ok too

But uuuuuh

Yeah the rest is pretty bad

[robust void]

do we know yet if rush duel packs will use the same gems as the current packs? want to know if I should continue saving for psychic musicians or not lol

[quick axle]

Heck if we know?

Konami has been kinda hush-hush on that regard.

[robust void]

that's concerning

I suppose I'm not playing enough to justify blowing my gems anyway

ffs do we even know the launch archetypes?

[midnight fable]

seems to be the same gems

the files dont have any alternative currency coded

and

[robust void]

thank you friend

[midnight fable]

the real sus thing is the gold isnt huge

rush packs bought with gold

[white stirrup]

God I hope it uses Gold

Literally the only thing you have ALLWAYS enough of

[robust void]

I actually am always running out of gold

[quick axle]

That would be too easy, @white stirrup

[robust void]

but I care about having every card I guess

[white stirrup]

Can you let me cope for 5 Minutes?

[robust void]

there could always be gutter trash gold packs since rush has a million normal monsters

[white stirrup]

I know Komommy want's my Money

[robust void]

DL does at least. MD won't sell me solfachord cosmetics

[white stirrup]

Well I am still waiting for Tour Guide stuff
And she is decently popular too

Atleast I got Sangan in MD I guess...

[quick axle]

At least in MD, smart saving goes a long way. Here? You're lucky if you even get what you're looking for.

Unrelated to DL, but currently I'm saving my gems for the second wave of Kashtira.

[white stirrup]

Yeah

I made like

5 Accoints just for the immense amount of Starter Gems you get lol

Each one focuses on different Decks

[quick axle]

No need for that. I have only used a single account.

But I only make one deck at a time.

[robust void]

did you see there are some from old events they never fucking hand out again? that shit pisses me off

[white stirrup]

I don't like playing PvP so that's why I have 5 lol

[robust void]

that pumpking one is amazing but no let's just waste it forever

not even sell it

[quick axle]

But anyway, back to DL discussion.

[white stirrup]

Pump Princess?

Pump Queen?
Idk the Name anymore

[robust void]

nah pumpking

it's a stylized field background for Halloween

they put way more effort into it than most

[white stirrup]

I didn't know it had one!

Sounds cool

THAT LOOKS AWESOME!
