[pastel lotus]

venom still doesn't get ambush fangs

its only worthwhile payoff is ending the battle phase

[stoic rapids]

First god damn pull

Gonna cry

[sleek garnet]

UM DE NÓS

UM DE NÓS

[weak bough]

i got the twins and ki-sikil but no lil-la

[stoic rapids]

Caraca kkkkkkkkk outro BR aqui

[stoic rapids]

I got one Kil-sikil, one veiler and one paleo

[weak bough]

i got the 2 bundles and that's all the gems i had

[stoic rapids]

Sad

[weak bough]

the 17 packs + twins and 15 packs

[stoic rapids]

Using a New account

Because Lost The other

So i have a lot of gems to farm

Should i reset The pack? I got The 3 cards i needed but no lil-la

[quick axle]

Dinomischus seems like an off-brand Karma Cut with an extra effect.

[stoic rapids]

It basically is but It Also is part of The paleozoic deck so It is a karma cut and a free level 2 monster

[quick axle]

Yeah.

Kinda like Canadia is an off-brand BoM, but slower.

[stoic rapids]

All of them paleos are off-Brands of other cards but as traps well since we have The other xyz we actually can build a Full Paleo deck

Not as good because you need to use 3 boxes

[quick axle]

We got Anomalocaris, but pretty sure we don't have Opabinia

Correct me if I'm wrong.

[stoic rapids]

You're wrong It is in The TrickStar box

[quick axle]

Thanks, I didn't remember.

I'm glad I was wrong.

[stoic rapids]

The only card we do not have is cambroraster but he is not obrigatory to the deck

So we have The entire deck

[quick axle]

[Paleozoic Cambroraster]

[vivid wave]

Paleozoic Cambroraster

Rating: Link-2 (⬆⬇)
[ Aqua / Link / Effect ]

ATK 1200

Effect

2 "Paleozoic" monsters
Unaffected by other monsters' effects. You can only use each of the following effects of "Paleozoic Cambroraster" once per turn. You can target 1 Set card in the Spell & Trap Zone; send it to the GY, and if you do, Set 1 "Paleozoic" Trap directly from your Deck. It can be activated this turn. If a Set card(s) you control would be destroyed by card effect, you can banish this card from your field or GY instead.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[stoic rapids]

He is Very Very good

But The deck still Works without him i runned a paleo build even hefore he got released so yeah

[sleek garnet]

Shame they got rid of the best paleo card, that grass looks greener

[young viper]

so you can make deck with evil twin cards from the new box ?

[quick axle]

Shiranui can be blamed for this, IIRC, since that card was so unhealthy.

I don't remember if there was another factor.

[sleek garnet]

That got grass limited

What got it banned was block dragon

[quick axle]

Oh, right, that Block Dragon deck.

That was its own brand of BS.

[stoic rapids]

Probably but you Will need The other paleo cards from other boxes

Paleos can bem splashed in nearly anything and they are still going to work

[young viper]

how i take the charmet skills new ? it doesnt shows in my missions

[robust void]

you can paly it in generaiders for scenarios that never come up

also did they ban mermaid or was it added as a banned card bc i dont see an exchange for it

[quick axle]

It was added before Orcust proper support was added.

Mermaid was fine before that.

But once Orcust Knightmare, Iblee, Galatea and Dingirsu came, well... you can guess the rest.

[robust void]

so how come we can't exchange it like we can for grass etc

[quick axle]

Hmm... that's a good question.

[white stirrup]

Well I got my first Live Twin in the first Box...

Just need to dig in to a god damn Main Box 2 more Times plus the remaining ones for the other Twin...

[robust void]

it's pretty fucking brutal of them

I opened a bundle on this pack and didn't really get anything

debating getting the other bundles I haven't or waiting for a pack I want more

tbh part of me just wants these items out of the shop

hoo boy just checked my lifetime missions for the first time in like a year or more and there's about 50 skill ones to get

the ones for the same skill on multiple characters can fuck off lmao

[sleek garnet]

Because it wasn't in a box

[robust void]

but grass is in the trader

[sleek garnet]

Yes and there isnt an option to exchange that either

It's just cocytus and trunade

[robust void]

oh damn even dark world dealings is in the box chip pool

I'm gonna go for those since they're really good for mission grinding

[stoic rapids]

What are The best thingies to get on The box Chips?

[sleek garnet]

Cosmic cyclone

Forbidden chalice, floodgate trap hole

Maybe TTH

There's also archetypal stuff like plate gaia for fossils, moray of greed for mermail

Trifortresstops for thundra sometimes

Snoww for dark world

Painful decision for metalfoes

Into the void is used sometimes

We dont know how often the pool will update

But the next 2 main boxes have some really cool stuff

Swap frog, gates of the dark world, unexpected dai, genex undine

So it might be worth saving up chips if you dont want anything you really want right now

We also dont know how often we'll get said chips, either

[stoic rapids]

I don't really think those are really that cool

Night save some

[sleek garnet]

Oh yea also

There's the ssa pacakge you could get

Doesnt see too much play rn, tho

[stoic rapids]

That is probably The main goal

[stoic rapids]

Ssa pacakge?

[sleek garnet]

Sea stealth attack + the whale that searches it

[stoic rapids]

Oh yeah

Probably Will not get much play until we get something like Sea Lord or fish sonar

[sleek garnet]

Crystron uses it sometimes

But there's only 3 currently living crystron players

[stoic rapids]

The decks kind outdated but any suport Will Just blow It up

[stoic rapids]

Respect to those people

Probably getting cosmic cyclone

The card is Just that good so probably is The way to go

[sleek garnet]

It's funny

[stoic rapids]

Probably Will not need chalice since we now have veiler

[sleek garnet]

Sometimes when a deck's core card that was previously locked in a selection box gets released into a normal box that deck rises up in popularity

Decks that use the quasar skill love mind con

Crystron being one of them

So i wonder if that will see a resurgance

Probably not but i can hope, at least

[stoic rapids]

Yeah

Cryston is kinda off a pandora's box

Has The potential to become like Chaos 2.0 but Konami hates It after halqfibrax

[sleek garnet]

Archive skill that adds halq to your deck if your entire main deck is machine monsters

Trust

[stoic rapids]

Damn i would love It lol

Would Also add so much personality to the deck

After The crusadia skill i doubt nothing

[sleek garnet]

Branded having skills in dl is a thought i didnt think i would have

[stoic rapids]

If branded ever goes to duel links... We are for some big big trouble

[sleek garnet]

To be fair

The small extra deck size kinda kneels them over

Let's assume we get everything up the structure deck

1 albion 1 lunellion 1 mirrorjade 1 jade target is already half of your extra

[stoic rapids]

Yeah but still that is a Very strong extra deck still

The smaller decks Also would give The deck much more consistensy

And with cards like into The void and no Ash or solemn The deck could essly Just do their one card combos with branded fusion

Neos has a weaker branded fusion effect and The deck is ok The banlist

[sleek garnet]

Branded fusion could be pre hit, if it's added at all

[stoic rapids]

So their skill would probably Just be adding branded fusion to the deck

[sleek garnet]

Perhaps

The avramax skill is very low power

[stoic rapids]

Yeah but It is still not bad

[sleek garnet]

So we dont exactly know what the ceiling is for non anime skills

Maybe they do like

[stoic rapids]

Moderation on duel links is not that bad so they probably Will awals think twice hefore adding something like grass

[sleek garnet]

If it's turn 4 or later and you have 2000 lp or less, replace a ploymerization in your hand with branded fusion, you can only special summon once for the rest of this turn

[stoic rapids]

Glow-UP bulb and eclipse wyvern are clicking bombs

But The smaller card poll stop The cards from being outright OP to Just "great"

[stoic rapids]

Probably that It would actually not be a bad thing It could be cool

[brisk pawn]

Just finished building altergeist control

[pastel lotus]

i opened new box 20 times

still don't have veiler

dk if i should actually keep going

i wish could just trade away all the cards i don't like to other players

or be able to convert them into something more substancial like 10 box chips per card

heck even 1 box chip per card would make my day

[weak bough]

i wish this game had dust like master duel

[dapper grotto]

We all do, but Box Chips and Dream Tickets are our only options sadly.

[robust void]

i don't use it or anything but sometimes I click on it by accident

and I just don't understand why the message board is so fucking bad

like it's filled with spam and it's all a ton of terms they could easily put in a blacklist to autodelete messages

or prevent consecutive posts by the same account

but they do nothing seemingly lol?

why even have the feature if it only benefits scammers and hurts your brand integrity

it has to be a theoretical loss

[quick axle]

I do as well, but sadly, Konami designed the game like that.

[sleek garnet]

So i misred the wiseman skill A LOT

●It's not once per turn
●It counts the yubel upgrades as things you can summon it trigger the skill
●It summons the evolved form from outside the deck

[small fern]

to be fair, are skills sometimes all that readable?

small goof; infernity inferno card is coded like flute of summoning dragon, but infernity inferno skill is coded like ra's disciple

[stoic rapids]

I think Konami is linda trying like, they made The game Very Very sadly into digital yugioh era só The only other things we had was like a 100U$ game and only after master duel they realised that they could make good yugioh games without being extremly overpriced

[dapper grotto]

Nah, felt like they were forced to make MD as accessible as it is due to the wide amount of cards they are putting in as an official simulator for the game...well, minus the 6 months behind card pool. For Gacha games like Duel Links and Cross Duel, they can restrict the card pool to whatever they please, and have a money-draining model.

[sleek garnet]

Also the fact they were directly competing with things like mtg arena and ptcgo

Also,

[dapper grotto]

Hell yeah. We Clockin' out.

[stoic rapids]

Damn he's clocking It out

[pastel lotus]

duel links is gacha but had roleplaying elements and tag force only unprinted cards

the latter will never be in rd

uranai majo (fortune fairy) could be fusion material for first of dragons in tf

most op of the tag force cards was [illusion gate (video game)]

[vivid wave]

Could not resolve English data for searches: illusion gate (tag force)

[pastel lotus]

dl:like the character of the month/skill of the month or leave

btw how often does in game deck submit gets viewed?

i assume people mostly netdeck from dlm or youtubers or streamers

[hazy crow]

Anyone using the new BEWD skill? It feels like Im forced to get the new BE Abyss Dragob UR monster from the box thrice

[pastel lotus]

wait for choccy

[hazy crow]

Im currently running, 1 BEAD, 2 Alter and 2 Spirit of BE just to meet the requirements kek.

And it definitely is bricky, but with that skill, you can summon ANY ritual prob Black Luster

I just hate how they worded the skill. It needs 9 Blue-Eyes IN main deck rather than including the Extra Deck.

[pastel lotus]

i forgot bewd can technically run advanced ritual art if they haven't searched all the copies of their vanilla

[hazy crow]

yeah it's a boost for OTK [BLS Legendary] but A LOT bricky.

[vivid wave]

The Legendary Fisherman

Level: 5
[ Warrior / Effect ]

ATK 1850 / DEF 1600

Effect

While "Umi" is on the field, this card is unaffected by Spell effects and cannot be targeted for attacks, but does not prevent your opponent from attacking you directly.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[hazy crow]

i didnt mean that card kek

[pastel lotus]

its komoney being bad with skill construction guidelines again

what worked for photon must work for blue-eyes

i don't run the new skill, i just try and figure out if my deck actually needs a 2nd beawd

i have multiple chars that runs some variant of be as a placeholder deck

skills just be 1 turn ig stories

anyways all the relevant dm males plus pegasus all got souped up skills this year

pegasus technically never used a duel disk but gx exists so its wrong

also both dm cameos from gx (meikyuu brothers and pegasus) are from duelist kingdom lol

sugoroku also appeared in gx since gx absorbed part of the cancelled movie script

[hazy crow]

It's so nice to see the original characters gets cameo

[pastel lotus]

i see it as blatant nostalgia pandering but ok

[hazy crow]

I remember Pegasus as the Pegasus who was forced to use/embed the Millenium Eye and not the "present" Pegasus. It did gave me nightmare when I was a kid.

I hope we get to see more classic characters in Duel Links. And a balanced skill set.

[pastel lotus]

balanced

camula might be interesting but dl doesn't want to do seven stars of darkness so...

fubuki is a maybe

fujiwara is an even more undefined maybe

amon is... idk how significant he was as a s3 antagonist

registers on the radar but barely

bargain bin pick for character inclusion imo

cloudian user

by classic you mean non-ed using charas?

[sleek garnet]

You only play 1-2 of abyss

Can i see your list, btw?

[robust void]

is it easier to learn skills through grinding ranked or casual? or are they the same? is there any way to make this process faster/less rng

[quick axle]

Not really.

[dapper grotto]

I just watch YT vids for the basic combos, though the best way is probably watching tournament VODs with the deck you want to use to see how they do things competitively.

Maybe somewhere like DLE's Twitch VODs of their tournaments...though I'm not sure if they have any VODs on the latest cards yet.

[robust void]

I mean

character skills

[dapper grotto]

Ahh.

There's so many Skill Tickets being given out in the campaign right now, so you better take advantage of that first.

But other than that, using Skill Chips when you can is the next best thing. There isn't really any way to farm Skills well other than beating up Legendary Duelists and praying you get a Skill drop.

But nowadays, the good skills mostly come from Lifetime Missions.

[robust void]

thanks mate

I didn't realize they dropped from farming legendary duelists so I guess I'll kill two birds with one stone

does the level you duel them at matter

but yeah I'm kind of just doing this for completion

[dapper grotto]

It really depends on what skill you actually want out of it. Since exclusive Skills come from Lifetime Missions ONLY.

[dapper grotto]

And yeah, they seem to drop whenever I beat up Legendary Duelists at the Event Gate sometimes. But again, pretty RNG lol.

[robust void]

I'm doing the missions too yeah, all 200 of them

btw this event auto duel shit is a godsend for leveling

just do the lowest level x3 over and over

[dapper grotto]

I'm doing the lv 40 x3 over and over since my Auto-Duel deck is good enough to.

Glad I have those Masked HEROs from all the way back in the day to do it.

Along with the backrow I jampacked in.

[robust void]

yeah but it's less exp overall since you're using more tickets

[dapper grotto]

I just want to earn more event pts, not really caring much about the exp during Farming events.

[robust void]

that's fair yeah

I only noticed yesterday that spoofing was in the trader

and at 1

lmao

overkill much

[white stirrup]

I hope we get a Archfiend Skill at some point

Now that we get generic goodies

[dapper grotto]

Hopefully we get more Archive Skills for non-anime archetypes.

[pastel lotus]

does anyone run draw sense: cyclone?

[dapper grotto]

The what.

Never heard of that before, do you mean Draw Sense: Cyberse?

[pastel lotus]

kek

no

[dapper grotto]

Then I don't know what you're talking about. No such skill exists from what I remember.

[pastel lotus]

it does

i just dont care to see what name you respond to

[pastel lotus]

but its an early archive skill

it doesn't draw cosmic

[dapper grotto]

OH, you mean the Mystical Space Typhoon skill.

It's okay.

[pastel lotus]

[tornado]

[vivid wave]

Tornado

Effect

Activate only when there are 3 or more cards in your opponent's Spell & Trap Card Zone. Destroy 1 card in your opponent's Spell & Trap Card Zone.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[dapper grotto]

No one uses it since people prefer consistency skills than generic backrow removal skill.

[pastel lotus]

does it count if they have scale in mr3 pendulum zone and 2 cards in magic & trap zone

[dapper grotto]

Keep in mind it's Spell & Trap Zone, not including Pendulum Zone.

So no, it doesn't count.

[pastel lotus]

should dl receive the other elemental mirror force besides drowning?

[dapper grotto]

They honestly should imo, not like people play Battle traps anymore.

[robust void]

im realllllly interested in what comes of this yeah

and idk why it took so long

[robust void]

I'm at legend 1 now in speed duel....the final battle(s) begin(s).....

[mighty bramble]

I used my Dream Ticket on Cynet Mining

[lime pewter]

Guys Name a deck i wanna try smth new.

[restive prawn]

Timelords,Shooting Quasar,Shooting Star,Red Nova,Nordic,Infernoid,Live Twin/Evil Twin,and Warrior Synchro

[quick axle]

Magikey as well.

[restive prawn]

Just to name a few

[quick axle]

Don't forget Magikey.

[restive prawn]

Quasar is surprisingly easy to get out with the skill based around it

[white stirrup]

Do Live Twins
Trust me it's worth it to dig through that Main Box 3 Times

[restive prawn]

Youch

3 cycles of the box

[quick axle]

Yeowch!

[restive prawn]

Here's my current Quasar deck list

It generally can get Quasar out in at minimum turn 3

[quick axle]

Uhh... a tad bit inconsistent, my dude.

[restive prawn]

Eh it works for my playstyle

[quick axle]

The main problem with your deck is that the best cards for the deck are best at 3 copies, and most of your stuff is, either rather useless or are Garnets.

So you'll end up bricking more often than not.

[restive prawn]

I'll work on it ig

[quick axle]

And also, you need to cut down the number of the cards of your deck to 20.

It's ill-advised to run more than 20 cards, unless you know what you're doing.

[white stirrup]

Best way you can shit out Quaser is the Skill tbh
Shit out Junk Warrior and from there out sit through 3 Summoning animations lmao

[quick axle]

@white stirrup Is my advice on point?

I dunno.

[white stirrup]

Pretty much

3 Junk Synchron to get immidient Acces to Warrior while having Converter in the GY

That's atleast how I allways did it

[robust void]

fuck dark hole sacking seriously

i hate it

[dapper grotto]

True that, all my homies hate Trickstar sacking with Dark Hole.

But I'll still pack it if I go Trickstar kekw.

[robust void]

oh I meant legend 5 cuz MD and DL use opposite numbering for some reason

[stoic rapids]

When does The 100th legendary duelista campaing ends?

[robust void]

put this in gen already but I wanna record it here too cuz I'm very happy

I hit KoG in both ranks in the same month from base

pure solfachord for speed, warriors for rush then spellcasters in kog

[dapper grotto]

God damn, you were cookin'. Congrats!

[quick axle]

@robust void Good job!

[robust void]

thank you! 😊

[sleek garnet]

Congrats noah

[dapper grotto]

Peachy.

[sleek garnet]

GOD

FUCKING

DAMNIT

[dapper grotto]

[sleek garnet]

Anyway i have a playset of everything now

Time to get veilers ig

[sleek garnet]

The only card card added to the rush ranked tickets was harpie lady, a card that we already have

Amazing

[robust void]

look if they gave us a new card they might run out of stuff to import soon

fuck them lol

[small fern]

grear resist-ants when

[robust void]

??? were these randomly generated

no player of any kind should be recommended cyber commander even for an N

[dapper grotto]

They'll recommend anything they newly added in, wouldn't they?

At least you get Tristan's ace favorite monster.

[robust void]

.... this is new????

idk what's worse

[white stirrup]

Is the recommended SR Judge Man?

[sleek garnet]

No because that's a box SR

[robust void]

all my eternal duelist soul homies love judge man

[white stirrup]

He deserves a retrain

If that one Puppet King Card can get like 4 Support Cards so can he

[drowsy holly]

Oh I can't get into selection box 2 now...

I need the flameswordsman link 😭

[mighty bramble]

I feel like Toons would be fun to use but it’d take a while to get Kingdom and I don’t know if what I currently have is enough

[sleek garnet]

Akira my beloved

[white stirrup]

Can't wait for Tinwinkels to be really bad for no good reason

Since I never watched Vrains I allways thought Krawlers were his thing btw

[hazy crow]

#ShareDeck #DuelLinks
https://duellinks.konami.net/att/01d7e4409cf871a263fde27aced51153cacd8723c5

[hazy crow]

This is my current experimental deck kek.

Forgot to add Oasis for BusterBlader comp. Which is anti dragon

Also the new Jaiden/Yubel skill is toxic. They should've make it like summon Yubel FROM the deck, not OUTSIDE the deck. So much room for staples, and Limiteds.

[sleek garnet]

I would cut the bls ritual, solid dragon, king of d, the felgrands, arkbrave, advanced ritual art, rhapsody, and ruins

[quick axle]

Also, cut the deck to 20 cards.

[sleek garnet]

And would add 3 sage, 3 stone of ancients, 1 veiler, a second melody, 2 hallowed life barrier

And a 3rd alternative

[sleek garnet]

I mean, deck's only really good if your opponent doesn't play any backrow

[robust void]

why does it set yubel btw

[sleek garnet]

1. Skill can be activated again if you flip summon a yubel
2. So that you can hear the summoning chants, same thing as the shooting quasar dragon skill

[white igloo]

So I wanna find more decks with mainly girl cards in duel links, got any suggestions?

[sleek garnet]

Trickstar is the best one

[white igloo]

Other than trickster and solfachord, since I am looking for one I haven't played yet

[sleek garnet]

Does altergeist count?

Live twins are in the same box

[white igloo]

Hmm got any more?

[sleek garnet]

Charmers

Lunalights

[white igloo]

I see thank you

[white stirrup]

Magician Girls and Witchcrafters maybe?

[white igloo]

Ah good to know thank you

[mighty bramble]

Got some poggers pulls today

[dapper grotto]

Nice, I'm still trying to pull a 2nd Mind Control.

Then pray I get the good staples during the UR Sales.

[robust void]

lol that's really cute. first one could just alter the skill requirements if that's all it was

also it's KC cup again

my first time getting placed from kog

[mighty bramble]

I’m thinking of putting EV in my Trains deck since it’s my main one for PVP

[hazy crow]

Amazoness, Harpie, Cyber Angels

[mighty bramble]

Magician Girl is an option too but not as good

[small fern]

apple, lemon, and chocolate are god tier against standard duelists, so long as

a: you have board space
b: you have (apple/lemon) cards in your hand OR (chocolate) a spellcaster in your GY that can be special summoned

[white igloo]

Thank youu

[robust void]

fortune lady

[sleek garnet]

Thinking about it

Phantom bind was not a good inclusion in the day 1 rush format

[quick axle]

Too centralizing?

[sleek garnet]

Since it's game winning against every deck except dragoncaster

Which means that the best deck gets better by default

[sleek garnet]

Not exactly, but phantom bind existing singlehandledly makes every deck that's not the 30 card pile worse

[robust void]

dragoncaster even plays against it the best because they can shuffle their gy back lmfao

[young viper]

how i unlock charmers new skill ? i dont see it in lifetime missions

[sleek garnet]

Summon 4 Level/Rank 4 or higher spellcasters in a single duel

[white stirrup]

Aka. Just play Magistus

[robust void]

I've been sacked enough after outplaying my opponent that I'm of the opinion now that dark hole should be banned and I won't be convinced otherwise

[quick axle]

Or at least Limited 1.

So it conflicts with other sacking cards.

[robust void]

I assumed it was limited 1

[quick axle]

A reminder that TTH is also Limited 1 too, which also has sacky properties, as well as cards as Enemy Controller, Monster Reborn and others.

It's not, IIRC.

[robust void]

wth

there aren't enough cards in the game to deal with a field wipe without tanking your win ratio and DL LP is too low to allow one free direct attack

[quick axle]

Yep. Dark Hole currently has no restrictions.

Maybe it could change after KC Cup, we don't know.

[robust void]

can only hope

I can't even play the shitty solfachord counter trap because they didn't even put that much into the game

[quick axle]

At least you can take solace in that Solfachord was briefly meta.

[robust void]

wonder where they would've been if they actually had that card in a meta with an appropriate power level

[dapper grotto]

I'm just playing Tenyi with the Archive Skill to level up any characters with gems to give at this point.

[sleek garnet]

Opponent has an empty field, no cards in hand, we are both at low lp

topdecks lightstage

https://tenor.com/view/joseph-be-like-joseph-hill-gif-20130238

[quick axle]

Activates Light Stage
Add Candina
NS Candina
Add Lycoris
SS Lycoris

Something like that?

[sleek garnet]

Kinda

[dapper grotto]

Or add Trickstar Festival for dank Link.

[pastel lotus]

any char leaks?

[pastel lotus]

also surprised at effect veiler being #1 most used amongst all main deck monsters in ranked

#7 most used in ranked when cards are undifferentiated

[swift jasper]

my very much unoptimized oe deck

[quick axle]

...

Your deck needs a lot of work

1. You're running too many one-offs, and that's bad, since you can't get through your strategies faster. You need more copies of certain cards for your deck to work.
2. And you're also running cards that conflict with what you're trying to do with the deck. Too many useless / winmore cards.
3. Additionally, you're running a deck with more than 20 cards, which makes your deck rather inconsistent, this gets compounded further with the first issue.

[brisk pawn]

Take out the two non pendulum odd eyes, tri eyed dice,

The three normal lvl 4 monsters

Get rid of raddishorse

Add another pendulum call

Get rid of minitaurus

[robust void]

if you plan to get all rewards from stage 1 is there an actual benefit to skipping to stage 2 by being in kog

[small fern]

how viable is [gravekeeper's vassal] outside of get effect damage quests

[vivid wave]

Gravekeeper's Vassal

Level: 3
[ Spellcaster / Effect ]

ATK 700 / DEF 500

Effect

Any battle damage this card inflicts to your opponent is treated as effect damage instead.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[sleek garnet]

It's used in some event farming decks

[pastel lotus]

it doesn't do anything on its own so....

it needs you to massively reconfigure everything to its liking

so it will never have a foothold in pvp environment

i assume that's what you refer to by "viable"

its only worth is to exploit the scoring system of dl

[small fern]

also wish infernity dwarf wasn't utter gerbage compared to spear shark or enraged battle ox/uminotaurus/lance fiend

[pastel lotus]

idk the appeal of infernity anyways?

empty hand, then activate as many effects as you want?

wonder balloons seems designed for infernity but they don't really need to lower the opponent's stats

infernity is otk or bust

[white stirrup]

I wish most infernety Cards were not shit
Like Beetle

[pastel lotus]

way to dunk on the first insect tuner of the 5ds era

i feel infernity not as good now since more ed hate exists and cards in general has just become more resilient to the classic strategies of infernity

brionac, coral dragon etc

can't win anymore by simply spamming your ed to the field in the absence of strong skill support (although this been true since 2019)

[sleek garnet]

There's also the fact infernity got hit twice on the banlist, could be that as well

[pastel lotus]

i don't even remember that

see how niche infernity players are?

[quick axle]

They didn't like that Launcher was an avenue of so many combos.

@sleek garnet probably will remember.

[sleek garnet]

The transmogrify nerf was so unnecessary

[quick axle]

Transmodify to Limited 1... yeeeeeeah...

[pastel lotus]

[infernity launcher]

[vivid wave]

Infernity Launcher

Effect

Once per turn: You can send 1 "Infernity" monster from your hand to the Graveyard. You can send this card to the Graveyard, then target up to 2 "Infernity" monsters in your Graveyard; Special Summon them. You must have no cards in your hand to activate and to resolve this effect.

F/L Status: Limited (TCG), Semi-Limited (OCG)

[pastel lotus]

fill graveyard from hand with 1, then ss 2 or less to the field from the graveyard with effects intact and no usage restrictions

[quick axle]

One of those being Infernity Archfiend, that can search another Launcher.

[pastel lotus]

it didn't have a hopt because it must send itself to the graveyard upon resolving

only stipulation was empty hand

[pastel lotus]

only reposting this for the nostalgia value

||all the articles were written in 2017||

[robust void]

I just draconic pressure'd my opponent three times in a row

fuck this deck lmao

[sleek garnet]

Sometimes you just wanted it more

[frigid kiln]

Opinions on my pfp

[sleek garnet]

Not the channel for this

[pastel lotus]

is veiler a general splashable card?

you need to open with it for it to be at its most useful

also when does one use it as synchro material?

[robust void]

yes

and whenever you have an open normal summon and the synchro would be better than its negate

most cards you need to open for them to be most useful

[sleek garnet]

Bewd doesnt need to open with veiler for it to be useful

[pastel lotus]

funny this is one of yusei's really good cards

doesn't need to be ss'd to do something

might run in non-accel speedroid

btw does shiranui graveyard effect sidestep [discord]

[vivid wave]

Discord

Effect

Neither player can Synchro Summon. Send this card to the Graveyard during your 3rd End Phase after activation.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[quick axle]

[Shiranui Spectralblade]

[vivid wave]

Shiranui Spectralsword

Level: 2
[ Zombie / Tuner / Effect ]

ATK 800 / DEF 0

Effect

If this card is in your Graveyard, except the turn this card was sent to the Graveyard: You can target 1 non-Tuner Zombie-Type monster in your Graveyard; banish both it and this card, and if you do, Special Summon 1 Zombie-Type Synchro Monster from your Extra Deck whose Level equals the total Levels those 2 monsters had. You can only use this effect of "Shiranui Spectralsword" once per turn.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[quick axle]

It does.

[pastel lotus]

does any deck exists which can run both lancea and veiler?

[sleek garnet]

Any deck that doesnt have a skill that locks your main deck into only having archetypal monsters

[sleek garnet]

I guess i'm building live twins now

[white stirrup]

I had my Mind set on them from the get go

I need more Gems...

fucking Waifu Tax in form of a Main Box

[robust void]

damn the AI plunder deck is so far beyond the other ones lol

[sleek garnet]

Simply play speedroids 4head

[quick axle]

Plunder Patroll?

[robust void]

yeah

they play it in vrains world

[white stirrup]

The fact the Playmaker AI has all the Codetalker Main Deck Monsters

[robust void]

I just had a guy lock me down with ras disciple x3 on my field and he was playing as spud with his 50 LP burn skill lol

what a perfect strategy for that character

what pisses me off is it shouldnt have worked except my backrow removal was the literal last card in my deck

[robust void]

if I save my current ranked tickets will I be able to use them on cards added in the future

[sleek garnet]

No

[pastel lotus]

🤦

[robust void]

wow that's really cool for rush duel tickets that only have 1 fucking card thanks konami

[pastel lotus]

buy the boxes

no one promised rd was going to be satisfactory

this is how they make sure ppl actually climb pvp every season

also i want to improve my lava golem burn deck its bloated but idk what i should focus on more

it runs insects for the skill

i think i will just replace my floodgate (trap) with scarecrow (trap)

also debating how good empress's staff is for stall

its weaker magic cylinders but can be activated from hand when no monsters

i was looking at confusion chaff

it might be activateable... ||against toons||

also gx was edgy

it had elemental hero edgeman, evil hero malicious edge, cyberdark edge, and volcanic edge

it was all too subtle for me when it aired but not now

[robust void]

do KC cup duels rank you up in the main ladder at the same time

[quick axle]

No.

[robust void]

damn. ty

[sleek garnet]

Ok so

110 packs left, the only URs in the box are meluseek, magikey world, and dinomiscus

I want to build geists

Do i reset?

[robust void]

yeah

[hazy crow]

#DuelReplay #DuelLinks
https://duellinks.konami.net/att/06becb06a03b5c9c9b7e86a89453c12a01249e96d1

Still experimenting around new BE skill. I don't have key cards such as the fusions kek.

[white stirrup]

How would this be for a "good" and "fun" skill for Weevil?

You can send 1 face-up "Petite Moth" that you control to the GY. Then you can either Special Summon 1 "Perfectly Ultimate Greatmoth" from outside of your Deck or Special Summon 1 Insect Monster from your hand. You can not Summon Monsters except Insect Monsters.

[robust void]

every exp bonus event I'm like hell yeah I'm gonna grind everyone to level 30 by using all my keys

then after 3 duels I'm like,

[quick axle]

Like you don't want to do more grinding because it's tiring?

[robust void]

yeah

[sleek garnet]

I'm free

[quick axle]

Good job, Choccy.

[sleek garnet]

Now to finish off the 2 other ladders lmao

[sleek garnet]

Anyway i tried testing bewd on ladder

Holy shit this deck is terrible

[quick axle]

A brick deck not having improved consistance for the bricks, who would've known?

Seriously, may as well call BEWD as Brick-Eyes Wall Dragon.

[sleek garnet]

It does now

It got a new skill

[quick axle]

Oh, I know they got a new skill, but... does it improve their chances of not bricking?

[sleek garnet]

The problem is that said skill takes away almost all of your extra deck options, so now you cant break boards as efficiently

[sleek garnet]

Any blue eyes card in hand is a combo starter

[quick axle]

That's an "oof" for me. Konami was this close on making BEWD viable again, but then they came up short.

Kaiba is like their sacred cow, and they keep doing him dirty.

While Yugi gets more and more stuff.

I dunno if that sounds about right, Choccy.

[sleek garnet]

Eh

[robust void]

theres no getting around it just being a beatdown deck, esp with no ED generics

[quick axle]

Yeah...

[robust void]

its pretty harsh it locks to loght dragons and not just dragons

[sleek garnet]

Problem is that it got nothing of the recent support wave

[quick axle]

No Tyrant Dragon, even.

[sleek garnet]

My biggest issue is the "no xyz or links" lock

[robust void]

yeah that too

[quick axle]

So you cannot even summon stuff like Dragluon.

[robust void]

cant even use that one r8 idiot

[sleek garnet]

Yea

Wish they at least brought in true light

[robust void]

true light isnt in?

[quick axle]

Noperino.

[sleek garnet]

So it can at least grind sometimes

[robust void]

isnt it considered bad anyway?

[sleek garnet]

It is but like

Would be played in the deck currently

[robust void]

i see

prob wouldnt be broken. everyone in the world is running cosmic rn

and if my scales need to deal with that so does BE

[quick axle]

True Light at least would be a "Eternal Soul" at home for Blue-Eyes.

[sleek garnet]

Deck just has like

Barely any follow up

[quick axle]

Once they get disrupted, they just cannot recover.

[sleek garnet]

Needs to use 3 cards in hand just to live a turn

The chaos max part of the skill could be neat but like

If you use the skill t1 you cant use chaos max that game

[quick axle]

It takes too long to get that one running, and by then, it would be too late.

inb4 Konami buffs the skill a little.

[sleek garnet]

So

Kc cup banlist next 2 weeks ish

Predictions anyone?

[robust void]

is it too soon for a bls nerf? really the power gap right now seems generally stable to me from my experience

[quick axle]

Probably Tenyi will get some stuff on Limited 3, and probably BLS too.

[sleek garnet]

Probably not, at least for a slap on the wrist

[robust void]

I think BLS is more likely to get a skill alteration than get cards limited but idk

[sleek garnet]

Ngl tenyi kinda sucks currently

[quick axle]

Oh, right, I forgot.

[robust void]

yeah I'm not really impressed with it when I run into it

[quick axle]

They got Three Effects! nerfed.

[robust void]

draco berserker not getting any of the protection is a lol

[sleek garnet]

I feel like they will put either endymion or envoy at 3 and call it a day

[robust void]

just to cut into generic space? that'd be nice

[sleek garnet]

Yea

[robust void]

it does suck when they hand rip you and then set 3 too

[quick axle]

Unless Konami wants to kill the deck altogether, like they sometimes do with some decks.

[sleek garnet]

Hand rip?

But yea like

Stuff like idp and crackdown is just good enough to let you live a turn

[robust void]

the effect from one of the level 4 envoys

[sleek garnet]

Which after that its just a matter of clicking the "enter bp" button

[robust void]

banish one card from hand until your next turn

[sleek garnet]

Oh, no one plays those lmao

Kinda forgot it existed

[robust void]

I've seen it a few times

[sleek garnet]

Huh, weird

But yea i feel like outside a limit 3 to bls, nothing really needs to be hit

Maybe they will hit orcust again or something

[quick axle]

Orcust getting another hit sounds like overkill.

Probably getting Giga-Rays on Limited 3.

If Konami feels like vindictive.

[sleek garnet]

Also, rush mini was announced

My wallet

Actually if the only think there is rebels i think i can skip it

Oh yea right, goha cup means rush will get a banlist too

[robust void]

it didn't even occur to me that was the KC cup equivalent lol

[sleek garnet]

Also forgot to mention

Rokket and trickstar will probably get hit

Fingers crossed for a dark hole limit

Fuck that card lmao

[quick axle]

Dark Hole could use a Limit 1.

A blowout card shouldn't be Unlimited.

[sleek garnet]

I was thinking of lim 3

[quick axle]

Dark Hole is pretty much a more insane version of TTH.

And TTH is Limited 1.

[sleek garnet]

Not exactly, tth is also disruption

[sleek garnet]

I feel like more often than not a limit 3 is more impactful than a lim 1

[robust void]

dark hole is the Maxx c of duel links right now

[sleek garnet]

Idts

Only relevant stuff that runs them are like, trickstar and salad

[indigo grail]

I feel Hey Trunade in its heyday would’ve been similar

rather than Dark Hole

Though DL actually did address Hey Trunade

After a billion years and several limit 2’s of other decks

[robust void]

dark hole? I see it literally everywhere

[quick axle]

Yes, because even as Limited 2, most OTK decks preferred running it, even at 1 copy.

And it was just sacky as heck.

That's how Dragunities became as prominent (not tiered, but somehow a rogue strategy) as they were.

And once Trunade was banned, so was the viability of Dragunities.

@indigo grail That's how I remember it.

[hazy crow]

Why I can't use [Terrors of Overroot] I don't think my opponent used any target immune effects kek

[vivid wave]

Terrors of the Overroot

Effect

Target 1 card your opponent controls and 1 card in their GY; send that card on the field to the GY, and if you do, Set the other card from the GY to your opponent's field. You can only activate 1 "Terrors of the Overroot" per turn.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[quick axle]

@hazy crow Did your opponent had any cards to target in the GY?

That you could set?

[sleek garnet]

You can see petingcess in the gy there

But maybe it got there after they shuffled root with tiaramisu

[white stirrup]

Smt smth give old Characters new Skills

[dapper grotto]

🐴

Man.

[robust void]

hey it's uh good filler for generaiders

I'm still upset my royal for that one promo was the shitty world legacy fusion

the worst possible one in the pool

[dapper grotto]

I got that one too LMAO

Gotta love RNG packs.

[robust void]

fucking dystopia was in there man

how's that fair

[young viper]

I love how Yuma has lines when he makes an attack with Ganbara Knight... which has 0 ATK

And Astral hastily tries to get Yuma to reconsider, to no avail

[dapper grotto]

Don't worry, Moon Mirror Shield will arrive someday.

[sleek garnet]

These were the first 10 packs

I think i'll just use dream tickets on meluseek later

[dapper grotto]

[fallow nimbus]

I’m new to the game and need helping building my deck if anyone can help

[sleek garnet]

Sure

What do you need help with?

[robust void]

how many gems can I hold in the gift box

[sleek garnet]

As many as you can put it there

[robust void]

wow really

no MD bullshit?

[dapper grotto]

They still expire in the gift box by the end of 30 days iirc.

[robust void]

good enough, just need to make it until the RD box

wonder how much I'll actually need for a playset

[robust void]

what can use coach lord ultimatrainer

[white stirrup]

DDDs

[robust void]

that's it? damn

[sleek garnet]

@robust void what i do grind rush ladder with this month?

[robust void]

see how far you can get with psychics imo

i couldn't do it

[sleek garnet]

Aight

[robust void]

I was trying entirely pure though and I imagine it's best to mix spellcasters in there

I wish climax beat set those spells from outside your deck

[robust void]

got to stage 20

hooray?

also I gave in and digged a bit for a Cerberus for solfachord

took like 3-4k...

[quick axle]

Woof... that's a lot of gems used.

[robust void]

yeah it uh didn't seem like that much until it was over

I bought the bundles I hadn't yet

[quick axle]

That's how it tends to be at times.

[dapper grotto]

3-4k gems isn't that much in the grand scheme of things.

Oh wait. You said for just the Cerberus lmao.

Did you at least get Effect Veiler and Mind Control while you dug for it?

[robust void]

lol

I think I got mind control

[dapper grotto]

Well, that's good at least. 👍

[robust void]

man borreload dragon is actually a really good boss monster in solfa

I just stole legendary swordsman BLS and wiped their own field lol

but beyond that it's just really solid with dodging monster effects and pushing for game

[mighty bramble]

I wanna build HEROs again one day but because of all the subarchetypes and the general cost I don’t know what I could do

[quick axle]

Yeeeeeah... HEROs are so expensive in DL.

[sleek garnet]

Hero is the cheapest it's ever been

[quick axle]

Hmm... without having to spend money, how so?

[mighty bramble]

I have a lot from over the years but outside of Malicious I don’t what else I’d need and how to put them together

[sleek garnet]

All hail the 17 lines long anime skill

Contrary to the tcg where is the best variant is mixing all of them together duel links likes to keep each subtype separated

[mighty bramble]

I forgor

[quick axle]

That would be Neos Yubel, doesn't it?

[sleek garnet]

Yes

[quick axle]

Actually, that looks rather reasonably priced.

But some of the URs are from old boxes, IIRC.

[mighty bramble]

I can actually do most of this

I just don’t have the Crows and WP

Can I use my own staples instead

[sleek garnet]

Yea you can

[mighty bramble]

Turns out I also don’t have Wiseman

Uh oh

[quick axle]

Wiseman shouldn't be hard to convey.

I think those come in either UR tickets or... I dunno if either Yubel or Jaden / Yubel drops them.

[mighty bramble]

I ended up using one of my tickets on it

Here’s what I ended up cooking

[sleek garnet]

do you have a keeper of dragon magic?

would play that over stratos if you have it

[mighty bramble]

I don’t think so

It just seemed like a good idea at the time

[robust void]

does the skill require Wiseman? I know that one thing floats into it but I never have seen someone pull it off

[sleek garnet]

Nope but the float comes up very often

[midnight fable]

@dry widget what do you think will be in the upcoming minibox (Roa stuff and non)?

[dry widget]

it's really hard to say, speculating about possible non-fiend stuff would be more or less impossible

and i dont know whether they want to continue to refuse to add playable traps, or if theyre willing to give a nice one to fiend like king's majesty

(king's right purrhaps? rebel's scream? maybe give a brief time in the spotlight to some of the bad fiend traps)

right wouldn't actually solve any of the "no interaction" problem since it doesnt care about the opponent at all though, so hopefully something besides that

now, what i am thinking is, they might give some summoned skull support to match the fiend stuff

maraimei, majinrai, makiu

and if they give makiu, then that could tie into thunderbeetle! which would also be on-theme from the anime, release getta's theme

no shot they give us ushiro this early though, lurker came out in the roa box irl but it ain't happening here

[sleek garnet]

Oh damn kaleido chick and tiger

Wild

[quick axle]

No Lunalight Perfume, though.

[sleek garnet]

@robust void ASANA'S ID GOT LEAKED

ASANA'S ID GOT LEAKED

[white stirrup]

Who was that again?

[sleek garnet]

Luke's older sister

[quick axle]

No.

Asana Mutsuba is the one who dresses with a formal red shirt and wears pants.

[quick axle]

Luke's older sister is Tiadosia Kallister, or Haruka Kamijou in japanese.

[sleek garnet]

Wait

Shit i mixed up the names

But yea she uses wyrm stuff

Has a cool ace

[midnight fable]

Maximums incoming

and they are gonna do amazingly in DLRush

[timber river]

new Mini Box for Rush Duel on November 23rd

also there's a PVP event on the 29th

[robust void]

so is she the likely one after roa?

[sleek garnet]

Neil is also in the same leak so probably after him

[robust void]

[robust void]

are lunalights likely to be tiered again? hard to resist pulling on this box

[sleek garnet]

I'd bet on like, tier 3

The rank 4 toolbox isnt that great outside of giant hand and dweller

[robust void]

I wonder if going first they could sit on those and Leo dancer then going second they can board break with shit like castel and dark rebellion. it sounds really simplistic but idk maybe it'd work

[sleek garnet]

Problem with that is getting to leo dancer without the bonus effect of lunalight fusion

[robust void]

oh my bad I meant sabre dancer. Leo dancer is really ambitious lol

[sleek garnet]

Sabre dancer sitting by itself doesnt guarantee you get to live a turn

And lunalight isnt exactly able to run backrow

[young viper]

Just learned that a special kind of animation seems to play if you activate Mirror Force successfully

I imagine both Yami Yugi and Varis also have special lines for them?

[robust void]

I meant sabre dancer + a rank 4 quick effect. should be doable now right?

[sleek garnet]

Maybe

[sleek garnet]

On another note

The celina event doesnt have any box chips as part of the rewards

And all of the prior ones we got from the campaign to the kc cup add up to exactly 300

[weak bough]

oh hey lulu nice

[pliant latch]

Is the box permanent

[sleek garnet]

Yes

[dapper grotto]

Thank the gods.

Though not sure if I should dig for it.

[sleek garnet]

I'm glad that it exist because i was really fucking close to spending a dream ticket on tiger king

[jaunty radish]

Guys

There is no Banlist ?

[sleek garnet]

Wait a week or so

@robust void

[robust void]

!

[quick axle]

Welp... a preemptive "pour one for Dark Hole".

The 1st place deck was Salamangreat, and they were packing 3 Dark Hole.

[robust void]

wow what a shock

[quick axle]

That sounds like sarcasm to me. Probably not shocked at all?

[robust void]

yes

[sleek garnet]

Gotta love when you draw into every single high level monster without something to use as tribute fodder

[young viper]

Y’know, it’s probably not necessary by any stretch but alternative outfits for Legendary Duelists would be pretty cool

Like say, the green jacket that Joey wears in Season 1 of Yu-Gi-Oh!, for instance. Or the famous poncho that Yusei wore in a few episodes of 5D’s

[mighty bramble]

Nice

[weak bough]

or pharaoh atem for yami yugi

[young viper]

Ehhh, could be like

The outfit Yami wore in like, Forbidden Memories. Just to avoid spoiling others, I suppose

[white stirrup]

Young Solomon

and while they are at it better skills for the old man too

[quick axle]

I think that it's rather common knowledge nowadays about Yami Yugi's real name.

[young viper]

Ehhh, yeah, just, more of a "just in case" thing

[quick axle]

Forbidden Memories was made way before the manga finished.

So it had stand-ins for future characters over the line.

[young viper]

Man, Forbidden Memories was weird

A few characters were introduced before they were properly introduced in the manga

So Ishizu had like, a wayyyyy different, and much meaner personality

[quick axle]

I think that Heishin is pretty much the Bandit Thief Bakura or Aknadin on his role, and Darknite / Nitemare would be like Zorc Necrophades.

[young viper]

Yeah, those two just being original characters, yet never to be seen in actuality in any other media does make me wonder

[sleek garnet]

I dont think they really care about spoilers since the way you unlock the dsod world is by doing the ceremonial duel

[young viper]

What's funny about it, is they actually had Yami's lines cut off before he said his true name

Like, "My name is ---!"

[sleek garnet]

legend of heroes is my favorite skill

it lets me grind stuff i would never use otherwise in ranked while climbing

[quick axle]

But then it wasn't cut off during the final Aigami event.

[young viper]

It wasn't? Huh.

I guess it wasn't that important to keep it hidden for everyone, then

[robust void]

I wish archetypes forced to run a lot of bricky high level monsters like solfachord had mulligan type effects built into their high levels cuz often they're just riskier with no adequate payoff relative to decks that are all starters

[sleek garnet]

i was talking about rush lmao

drew stage bouncer stage bouncer triple prima guitarna

[robust void]

its arguably even weirder in rush right now bc of the 30 card limit and the level 7s being the only monsters that do anything

so you have to run a lot of them or lose but you also lose from running too many sometimes

i feel like in 40 you could reasonably expect both players to not always see one in the first two turns or so

[quick axle]

@sleek garnet Banlist?

I dunno if one was posted just now.

I tend to expect them at around this time. During the course of the week, or what have you.

[sleek garnet]

nothing

[sleek garnet]

@robust void

[robust void]

wow that's awesome

good job

surprised at no lullabind to out stuff

[sleek garnet]

Never really saw a scenario where i wanted lullabind over climax finale tbh

Trying to decide what do i play in the goha cup

Could play either warriors or B E E T L E

Or aquas, havent tried that one yet

[robust void]

warriors is still funnest imo

I wish mecha whale got some of its support at launch

also lullabind I guess is there for if you don't have a level 7 to clear the 2500 attack hump

which I thought would be likely cuz any psychic level 7s dying next turn

unless you have wall up

[sleek garnet]

Fair enough

Found myself bricking too often with 3-4 spells turn 1 so it might've just been bias lol

[sleek garnet]

140 PACKS LATER BUT LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOO

[sleek garnet]

Ok so

The lunalight skill

It negates the lunalight you discarded

And not the one you sent from the deck to the gy

[quick axle]

Any banlist announced or not?

[jaunty radish]

The banlist is here

Go check

[quick axle]

Welp... RIP the Magistus engine for BLS.

[quick axle]

I don't have the game installed, but I just checked DLM.

https://www.duellinksmeta.com/articles/news/balance-update/november-16th-2023

[sleek garnet]

It's time

3 melody 3 levianeer

2 levianeer 1 beatrice actually

BUT STILL

[pastel lotus]

oh no its guy who changes names all the time

i was going to ask how viable moonlight was now they got all of their arc-v (series 9) era monsters and generic draw power cards like allure

not to mention they have synergy with graveyard retrievers like [dark eruption]

they have a lot of ways to generate field fodder and its not even restricted to fusion summoning

they didn't give perfume but i feel like that's mostly a minor setback

kaleido chick makes going into lio dancer much easier... and i don't even use moonlight fusion

i even got my kaleido chick... ||for only 50 gems||

[dapper grotto]

They got a way better turn 1 now it seems. Much more options.

Can put down an Evilswarm Nightmare, along with a Lunalight Fusion.

Hmm.

[quick axle]

BLS got quite gutted. Chaos Form limited alongside Niniruru, and Endymion being on Limited 3 alongside BLS, means that Konami doesn't want people running BLS alongside Magistus.

And also cutting their access to Limited 1 and Limited 3 staples.

[dapper grotto]

Good.

It was a fun ride, but I'm glad the OTK machine is over

[quick axle]

Also, Orcust Knightmare randomly at Limited 3? And what does the Tenyi hit do for the deck? Was there any relevant Limited 2 cards they used?

[dapper grotto]

Orcust are still used in Ranked and KC Cup sadly

[quick axle]

Orcust Knightmare was Limited 2 before. Now Limited 3.

[dapper grotto]

So it can't be used alongside Harp Horror iirc

Or at least, you have to choose between them.

[quick axle]

Probably that seems the intention.

That also hits Gandora Orcust, I think?

[sleek garnet]

It does

[dapper grotto]

What Gandora cards are on limited 3?

[quick axle]

None. Actually the hits is to nix the Orcust engine from being consistent.

As both Harp Horror and now Knightmare are Limited 3.

As well as cutting the Orcust engine from Limited 3 staples altogether.

@dapper grotto That's from what I see it.

Oh, and Iblee is also Limited 3.

[robust void]

dark hole untouched lol

[quick axle]

They didn't even touch the newer decks.

[pastel lotus]

do you ever want to use either tiger or wolf as fusion materials or are they most valuable for their scale effects?

also funny serena does not get a named box for her during either instances of her events

wolf is the only main deck moonlight that cannot be searched via tenki; its scale effect being miracle fusion

[sleek garnet]

shoutouts to cydra players continuing to eat shit since 2021

[quick axle]

Konami really don't want Cydra to regain any of their former glory ever since they were so common back in 2021, when they were pretty much an OTK machine.

Bad in meta scenarios, great in the KC Cup, since it was easier to rack victories and loses due to sackyness.

That's how it feels to me, Choccy.

[pastel lotus]

rest in pain peace

[midnight fable]

hoping for a new type alongside fiend support

[white stirrup]

Love me some Fiends

[sleek garnet]

I wonder what i'm getting today

[sleek garnet]

Got a prismatic lunalight wolf during my level 10 grinding session

How is Elements Unite not changed yet? ._.

I guess it's because it's not making waves in KC Cup, but still...

[indigo grail]

You think it would have during Mermaid Format

given the DL team’s history of skill nerfs when used for unintended purposes

[pastel lotus]

their users weren't ultra anime relevant characters

that would be my best guess

simply enabling some extra deck shenanigans isn't enough

titan showdown (only 1 season 1 dm minor opponent has it) got changed because anki/future otk decks

universal skills got hit already

[sleek garnet]

@robust void more info on the new romin skill

you can only attack directly once the turn you use it

also romin gets a transformation like yuma and the barians

i probably should have waited to get kog with psychics lmao

[robust void]

dang at the direct attack restriction but I guess it's fine as long as you can still do battle damage with the others

[pastel lotus]

what's after serena event again?

new sevens unlock?

[sleek garnet]

Roa's event, yes

[midnight fable]

I like this

[sleek garnet]

If you think about it

One of the biggest reasons they try to avoid adding vrains characters is that their existance forces them to advance the plot of the game

Dm, dsod, gx, and the 5ds plotlines are mostly finished, zexal has some indications of being crucial to dl's story, but we're currently taking a break with that in favor of recreating the barian invasion arc, arc-v's plot is self contained, and sevens seems to be mostly recreating the anime's story as well

But every time a vrains character got added they expanded upon the main story about all the worlds being connected

[young viper]

Innnteresting

[sleek garnet]

Roa's loaner deck

If all of these are in the next box backrow is probably gonna go harder to justify adding ghost cyclone

@sleek garnet Speak of the devil.

[sleek garnet]

call of the earthbound is funny

also we are getting The ★ stuff early it seems

neat

so yea, warrior and psychic that needed support desperately are getting it, dragons get new stuff that's basically a new deck since it doesnt go along the draconic ressonance at all

good stuff all around

i do wonder about how many packs this box will have tho

4 urs compared to speed duel's 3

noodle ninjas also got roastery, forgot to add that

community discussion about dl rush is always so weird

"i dont care about rush so i must go to every single post about rush to tell everyone how indifferent i am towards this thing everyone else enjoys"

also shoutouts to hammer crush getting powercrept before the game got more than 1 generic trap card

very cool

oh btw

the speed duel red eyes skill has the yubel/yusei thingy where you can flip summon red eyes the turn you set it

which means that you can use that to dodge red eyes fusion's restriction

[robust void]

these ppl are the worst of any community. not even offering constructive criticism like what kind of cards theyd like to see added next to address their issues etc

cracking me up @ the immediate powercreep btw but i cant say im too displeased since i wanted more complexity

ideally they would roll out cards faster as well but

gimme music princess

also how do you feel about dragons/spellcasters caring even less about phantom bind now bc they dont minus to pop it

dang a lot of cards in here that werent in the switch game. im excited now

I really wish this game did something as simple as displaying when an event is about to end on the main world screen in the bottom left corner. I constantly waste event items because the end sneaks up on me because I haven't read the original announcement in two weeks. seems like a very basic thing to add

[sleek garnet]

The end date is always at the top of the event details when you press the ace monster at the top of the screen

Roa's event lasts until 1 am of the 29th, for example

[midnight fable]

well, looks like Im digging through this box

giftarist and arise dragon

[sleek garnet]

Lmao

[timber river]

1 down

[sleek garnet]

i currently have 1 growl and 2 gargol

ngl it feels like they buffed drops recently

got 30 blue cats during the celina rerun, and a ton of skills when doing the 3 ranked matches per day to get the ribbons

[timber river]

idk if tis been mentioned but we're getting bundles for these on the 23rd

Widespread Ruin's gonna be an auto include in Rush decks

[sleek garnet]

Reincarnation is also gonna be really nice

Royal rebel's skill foolishes, Unlucky dragias/SRM mills, etc

[sleek garnet]

Btw

Thoughts on accel magic tempest in sevens road accel builds?

Doesnt seem worth it given torna already does what tempest does and summoning SRM is already a 3 card investment

[robust void]

I don't see it working

it's very win more probably

is bendorbreak going to be relevant

[sleek garnet]

probably not but yuga has a skill related to it

[robust void]

how much of the new box do you think was designed to diversify the format lol

there's like 5+ generics to deal with beatsticks now

[sleek garnet]

Getting dragias' sucks slightly less now, yea

But ngl, i thought we were getting esperade in this box

Btw

Do you think there's gonna be anything on the box that you Need 3 copies of?

Ghost cyclone is one but it's probably gonna get reprinted a lot

[robust void]

in the sense that there aren't substitutes if you can't, idts. need to look again

no esperade is lame. wanted to try running climax beat still

[sleek garnet]

like

ngl

even the archetypal stuff doesnt really stick out to be

as something you need 3 of

maybe 3 rocker

since the skill enables it for free

ancient arise dragon looks really funny but not better than draconic ressonance dragons

sadly

Ngl i think i'm gonna buy the bundles to get the good Rs, then start saving for the yggdrago box

[indigo grail]

I swear the DL rush haters basically are just the “STOP HAVING FUN!” meme as real people

[sleek garnet]

It's also funny how half of places like the subreddit boil down to "if you play the thing i dont like you dont deserve human rights"

[indigo grail]

Like I really want to be kind and nice when it comes to how I view Yugioh as a community

BUT THEY MAKE IT VERY HARD TO

[sleek garnet]

Something that i noticed about r/duellinks

You can basically post whatever you want as long as you're not questioning the moderation

Like, saltposting is explicitely forbidden in the rules, since it's meant to go in the weekly megathread

The sub gets about 4 of them daily, and they tend to basically go unpunished

But the post calling that out got removed in minutes

[sleek garnet]

Anyway, Roa has dialogue in the files involving Yuka, that along with Gavin having dialogue with Yuran kinda confirms we're getting all 6 siblings

[sleek garnet]

Speaking of voicelines

Can we talk about how the sevens one are kinda lackluster?

Yuga doesnt have lines for his friend's aces, romin having a line for chemical cure blue but not the rest of the archetype, roa having one line for non archetypal cards

[sleek garnet]

One thing that makes me hopeful tho
