[sleek garnet]

Is that yuga ||Also doesnt have lines for his go rush cards||

Which opens the possibility of him getting lines retroactively as the story develops

[quick axle]

Kaiba never got retroactive lines either.

Or Yugi, or Zane, or any other characters that had legacy support introduced.

[sleek garnet]

The thing is that ||while kaiba and yugi got alternative version, yuga will probably not||

||And the zexal cast did get retroactive lines in regards to the barians||

[sleek garnet]

Oh wait i just realized

Rebd is a legend dragons can play

It ain't very good but it exists

Goha cup campaign is live

1k gems and a sr dream ticket (for speed duel)

Nice

Also i was thinking

Who will announce the goha cup?

Otes?

[midnight fable]

its getting a skill at least

[sleek garnet]

I meant dragons as in the draconic ressonance pile

So you wouldnt be able to do that, necessarely

[robust void]

isnt it kinda weird the cup launches right before a new set

[midnight fable]

free gemmies for box

[robust void]

wow they're giving us two red eyes that's how little they value them

[midnight fable]

tbf, one is a playset

[robust void]

yeah but they don't even expect people to be willing to dig for the alt art

[midnight fable]

they expect us to dig for black chick at least

not much tho

its an SR

[robust void]

I guess I'm obligated to build red eyes in DL too

[timber river]

Least their structure deck is good

[sleek garnet]

It aged kinda badly tho

[timber river]

She stirs

[indigo grail]

The beast awakens

[sleek garnet]

Wait

We got a ur dream ticket in the blue eyes campaign

And a sr dream ticket in the red eyes campaign

THEY CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS

[pastel lotus]

i still think dsod best world

the theme feels very post-apocalyptic which means it is high on the feels

its also funny when people dies to deep-eyes burn effect since it was unnerfed

dsod yugi used traps a lot while dsod kaiba actually used fusion and ritual

aigami fusioned once via a trap card

[robust void]

they don't have one for RD

[sleek garnet]

Decided to spend my dream tickets

Got a pot of duality, a warning point, a gold gadget, a trickstar candina, 2 jet synchrons, and 2 tunings

[sleek garnet]

Will get the 3rd tuning with this year's sr ticket

[dapper grotto]

Who hurt her?

[white stirrup]

Me
I kicked her Ass for Gems

[timber river]

oh boy

2 down

and Roa unlocked

[sleek garnet]

Huh

I guess it could be worse

[robust void]

I got a psychic bouncer I didn't need

[midnight fable]

I just need 1 more copy of Growl

and get points for third copy of the SR

[midnight fable]

LETS GO

That makes 2 of this and the SR

just need point guaranteed copies now

@dry widget You up to DLRush?

[dry widget]

mmmsure!

give the old furmat one last spin befur the new box

[midnight fable]

Alright sweet

sent challenge

btw I got Luke fully leveled now, and over halfway for Roa

@dry widget

[dry widget]

just needed a sec to open up dl

[midnight fable]

Very well done

Ya like that sweet last second DMG for game :D?

[dry widget]

gg
yeah i was hopin youd be burnt out, but 2 recovery forces gives you a pretty good shot at re-drawing em

[midnight fable]

yup, btw what cards you looking forward to the most in the new box?

[dry widget]

its kinda cheating cause its not in the box, but widespread ruin! and recital

format's desperately in need of good traps, and not just that -500 stuff

[midnight fable]

Ancient Powers, Giftarist, pyro stuff, and recital for me

beautiful pyro field buff

[dry widget]

theres still only 1 high level pyro tho!

[midnight fable]

and flavor+fireyarou gives more Noodle skill targets

barely in the threshold

box after will give us another Noodle boss

[midnight fable]

OH that's what you meant

[dry widget]

ye!

[midnight fable]

good to see we're getting more battle traps

[restive prawn]

I got roa to 15

I had way to much time on my hands today

[sleek garnet]

Me who put to him at lvl 20 one hour after he became unlockable:

[dry widget]

the level cap is only 20, maxxing out anyone is really easy if you want to

[midnight fable]

yeah I've been maxing out as many rush characters as I can

sucks that Roa didnt get an archive skill

[sleek garnet]

Mimi didn't either, right?

[sleek garnet]

TIL fireyarou has chicken legs

[restive prawn]

Okay you win

[small fern]

i didn't check the box, does it have great resistants

[robust void]

what

[timber river]

Nope doesn't have the ant cards

[robust void]

never gonna not be annoyed at new boxes dropping arbitrarily later in the day

[mighty bramble]

Prowler theme

[midnight fable]

no but it has actual good backrow

[small fern]

amazinge

[midnight fable]

we even have a legend trap from a bundle

[pastel lotus]

is rush cards pretty good about cards not being used for anything other than what it is intended for?

unlike the actual ocg

see gold sarcophagus

[timber river]

Most Rush Duel cards are for specific type/attribute decks

but there are still generic staples

[robust void]

I don't think rush duels even have a banish zone

in general the rules being simpler means there's less ways for cards to work in unintended ways

[timber river]

Bruh

well got this at least

Pack and Bundles are out

[sleek garnet]

Momento de yugioh duel links

Now to get 1.7k gems for the bundles

[dapper grotto]

Think I'll skip the Rush Duel box honestly. Spent so many gems on Deep Emotion.

[sleek garnet]

The level up gems are starting to run out

This may be a problem

[timber river]

Widespread Ruin has won me 2 duels so far... definetely gonna need to start running backrow removal

[midnight fable]

how does this keep happening

@dry widget pyro is cooking

[sleek garnet]

List?

[midnight fable]

sure gimme a sec to beat this person

[sleek garnet]

Alright

[midnight fable]

bow to the queen (ok getting my list now)

I should switch the celtics for other 1500s, but eh it has more def

[sleek garnet]

I was about to ask

[midnight fable]

tribute fodder anyways, just need new pyro vanillas come come out to swap them with

but yeah pyro is cooking

[sleek garnet]

Oh shit is that flavor inspector?

[midnight fable]

yup

[sleek garnet]

Didnt saw that in the box reveal

Nice

Means that the fusions will be releasing soon, surely

[timber river]

We're probably gonna get Maximums first

[sleek garnet]

Still on the cope that the level cap was set to 20 that they will increase it to 30 in january and add magitek magnus to yuga's level ups

[quick axle]

Great Magnus is Super Quant.

[sleek garnet]

This dude, you know what i meant

[robust void]

what's the best RR skill. heavy drive?

[sleek garnet]

Probably

[robust void]

it feels a little overtuned but we'll see

tbh I feel like they're overestimating RR in general right now

not that they'll be bad or anything

[sleek garnet]

The foolish burial part of the skill only being usable if you went second kinda sucks tbh

[robust void]

yeah agreed

I would've expected one of their skills to allow easier level manipulation

than what they currently have I mean

damn The Barrier is pretty good for an R lol

I'd probably prefer this to phantom bind

oh shit we can have 1 of every legend card type right? so all 3 are staples atm basically?

[sleek garnet]

Yea

They changed the legend rule last year, i think?

[midnight fable]

yup

[sleek garnet]

Goha cup can't come soon enough

I need the gems

[robust void]

I got a whole playset of everything again

might build s-force since I'm ahead of the curve

[dapper grotto]

I probably can't get into Goha Cup above the low levels since it seems like the mini box is alot more relevant lol.

Negating Attacks and an ace monster that destroys monsters, god damn.

[sleek garnet]

You probably add widespread and The Barrier to a dragons or spellcaster list since they stay mostly the same after the box

[robust void]

yeah I was thinking that as well

I don't think the top decks will change

just the lower rung becomes a little better/varied

[sleek garnet]

Now

Is psychic better than warriors now?

🤔

[robust void]

man that's tough

I'm inclined to say no still because of how uniquely good yamiruler is

and that trap is genuinely a great help

btw weren't LP supposed to go to 8k when is that happening

[sleek garnet]

Nope

That was for tag duels

[robust void]

aw damn it

[sleek garnet]

Oh wait

Getting KoG gives you gems

I should do that

I'm at what, legend 3?

[robust void]

solve the new psychic build for me pls

[sleek garnet]

Yea sure one sec

[midnight fable]

ruining people so much with pyro

won the turn after

[sleek garnet]

The good thing about the new psychic skill is that it means you get to play good cards instead of wattkiss

[robust void]

too true

but I love keytar kid....

tfw the level 40 AI attacks a facedown card with a 100 attack monster

[restive prawn]

It did that to me too

[sleek garnet]

Vi-FRND will probably get a skill

Something to look up to i think

[midnight fable]

Pyro gaming

[robust void]

I disagree with both of those!

[sleek garnet]

True

Luke isn't on all 3 character slots

[robust void]

lmfao

man it's one thing the foolish isn't usable going first but the fact you have to shuffle a card back too wtf

like was that not enough

[sleek garnet]

Should've won the die roll, skill issue

On another note

I wonder if they'll do balance changes after this cup

Probably not but the chance is not 0

But like

Everything got pre hit, the format will be a week old by the 29th

The skills are tame

Tf would they do, put thunder the thunder and the pink seahorse to limited 2?

[robust void]

tweak the skills or release another box. already

[sleek garnet]

Powercreep in a Can™️

Anyway

Yggdrago will be so fucking cool

I can't wait

[robust void]

hey guess what guys

music princess's recital is programmed wrong and I just lost because of it

my opponent only had this one facedown monster on their field

[sleek garnet]

I dont see the issue

[midnight fable]

It's not programmed wrong

https://tenor.com/view/tolarian-community-college-kyle-hill-magic-the-gathering-i-hate-your-deck-reading-the-card-gif-22381436

[sleek garnet]

78 more wins and my weevil goes to level 44 and then i will only need 50 gems to buy the widespread ruin bundle

I feel like my brain is turning to mush

[midnight fable]

its supposed to be not reliant on face-up/facedown

its mistranslated on DL?

[sleek garnet]

It's this exact text

[midnight fable]

huh

[timber river]

ayy

man I wish Duel Links let you filter monsters that fit the requirement of your skill

[sleek garnet]

Same

[timber river]

@midnight fable

ok

[midnight fable]

lmao

[midnight fable]

very big atk

Also I have a good feeling Noodle art will be great for farming

[robust void]

@sleek garnet

NEVER correct me again

[midnight fable]

this isnt the right text even

surely will be patched soon

[robust void]

I read the card

shove your memes

[midnight fable]

yeah konami accidentally wrote faceup

[robust void]

it's such a weird mistake

it's not even in the original card text

they wrote fanfiction

[jaunty radish]

so btw if i have face down monster on the field only that, i can negate the attack with that card ?

with the real text

[robust void]

yes

[midnight fable]

yes

[midnight fable]

ok I just realized what happened here, didnt realize the recital was to the direct attacker 1k's attack into the facedown. So it's just a text bug

[robust void]

yeah

man Royal rebels echo sounds insane

wish we had that

fixes the deck in one card

granted it would destroy the current DL meta I know lol

lol I just realized burning blaze dragon doesn't have any good destruction targets yet....

[scenic grove]

Finally a good

One

Prisma

[white stirrup]

I still need to dig in 2 more times to get all the URs I need for pure Decks

☠️

And I am not even done with the first

[scenic grove]

my onloy other good prisma is crackdown

[sleek garnet]

It didnt have part in the portuguese text, my bad

[jaunty radish]

they really dont wanna get out of there

[robust void]

lol

[midnight fable]

I got my third copy of bowing while unlocking hangry romin skill

@dry widget you up to DLRush later?

[robust void]

I'll play sometime too if you're interested

[midnight fable]

299060 for room ID

unless, you wanna do it like later?

[robust void]

ok gimme 3 mins or so

[midnight fable]

alright

very well played

[robust void]

gg. that was close lol

[midnight fable]

it really was

[robust void]

do you run pyro lancer btw? just wondering

[midnight fable]

I dont

[robust void]

I think it might be worth the surprise of huge pierce damage since he's also buffed by the level 7 guy

and the spell too probably right

[midnight fable]

already at 6 tributes, and flame champion is better defensively. Already got big fire power with my spell anyway

[robust void]

want to play more?

[midnight fable]

nah gonna take a break for now, got some other stuff I need to get done on my freeday

[robust void]

sure, lmk any time you're up for it

[sleek garnet]

H u h

[robust void]

what's up?

I wish warriors had an archetypal way to get cards from gy back into deck

immediately after I sent that last message

and then the next duel lmfao

[midnight fable]

yamiruler is delaying your next few draws

[robust void]

ironic bc normally there's no opponent he stops harder

[dry widget]

oh yeah, i was zzzzzz when you pinged but id be up sometime now or later yeah

[midnight fable]

alright I can get on right now

[dry widget]

alr!

ive built some decks with all the new box cards but not played any of them in pvp yet

[midnight fable]

Logging in now

already got hangry Romin skill unlocked

@dry widget sent challenge

[dry widget]

ggs

[midnight fable]

very well played

[dry widget]

i cut the piercing from my deck, you can tell!

might want to add it back?

cause that game 1 went to a pretty bad position cause i couldnt break through a few sets

[midnight fable]

wasnt getting my turn 3 big beefy boards, but it's always a blast rush dueling with you

[dry widget]

it feels so nice to be able to deflect otks with widespread ruin!

[midnight fable]

ikr?

I also like how in ladder, archive skills are cloaked in a way cuz they arent locked to a specific character

[brisk pawn]

I need help with my Utopia deck

Any tips?

[restive prawn]

I'd recommend changing to the zexal ultimate unite skill and making this a onomatpat deck

But that's just my utopia build

[sleek garnet]

I'd cut the halfway to forever, the anglers, and 1 shtana, then add a 3rd buzzsaw shark and 3 v salamanders

[robust void]

warriors getting innate pierce now is hella sick

[sleek garnet]

It's cool to see how different types have different ways of dealing with the same scenarios

Spellcasters can change the opponent's monsters' battle position, dragons have multiple attacks

Psychics are able to attack directly

[robust void]

do psychics have more than one direct attacker?

[brisk pawn]

I don’t have a third buzzsaw and salamander

[dry widget]

nah it's just telepathic agent

[brisk pawn]

But I am planning on building the non water type deck soon though

[robust void]

running ghost cyclone at 3 is bricking me so much

also dragons and spellcasters still can easily run no backrow so its release along with stronger backrow just increases the gap between them and other decks gj konami

[midnight fable]

https://youtu.be/p_HOzlkIRv4

the person doesnt know you can use more then 1 legend card

[timber river]

anyone played with Romins new skill? trying to make a list rn

O-O ok then

[robust void]

I'm using it but I don't feel confident in my list

[sleek garnet]

May i see it?

[robust void]

holy fuck the AI is genius

[robust void]

it's just a pure build trying to run all the band members

the extra normals in there are for berry bassist and dream drummer and there's a bunch of gy recycling so I can get away with running few level 7s

[jaunty radish]

I like it cause I like physics too,but my problem is I have the UR from MainBox x1 and other cards x2 x3 ... now open box only for that card ? Hard...

[jolly trellis]

😭 🙏

[sleek garnet]

One thing i noticed is that the hangry skill lets you run summoned skull

[robust void]

wait it does?

[sleek garnet]

Yea

Only your level 7+ monsters need to be psychics

You could also run stuff like torna and gravity press dragon if you want

[robust void]

that def changes shit a lot

I'd be tempted to run kuribot too since it gets you past LP thresholds and psychic's sub level 7 monsters suck ass right now (their biggest weakness imo)

[timber river]

I have 5 Growls but only 2 Gargoyles...

[mighty bramble]

Got him

[dapper grotto]

👍

Rokkets and Tenyi haven't been doing well for me on Ranked lately. Might try Red-eyes this time, it seems alright.

[sleek garnet]

Ok so this showed up on my recommendations and i really want to talk about it

https://youtu.be/skPWpnwHdN4?si=bZBhmlhBx7JOKnon

"How to save rush duels in duel links"

"Rush and speed should have the same ladder with shared cardpool"

????????????

[white stirrup]

So he want's us all to play like the Hackers?

[sleek garnet]

Yes

Dude is also conveniently the 1728946 handloop cards in the rush cardpool

[white stirrup]

Pfft

[sleek garnet]

He's also making making the arguement that they could simply make skills like the BLS and Yubel ones to make rush decks viable

Because the community sure loves those

[white stirrup]

God

I am just happy we actually start getting Skills for Arxhetypes not present in the Anime yet

[sleek garnet]

But yea like

Imagine if konami went throught with this

"If you resolved yamiruler this turn, your opponent cannot summon from the extra deck"

[sleek garnet]

To be clear, he did not say this, i'm just saying that this is what would probably happen if konami wanted to make the deck compete in a format with fucking altergeist in it

Dude also brought up "cross duel did it so duel links could do the same" as one of his main points

Ignoring the fact that not only that game isn't even tecnically a card game, it's also fucking dead

[midnight fable]

that's just saying make the game floo with extra steps

[robust void]

you'd have to like know nothing about either game to ever entertain this wtf

also like even if this wasnt impossible without undermining each game it's totally impractical to essentially balance a third ygo game with no equivalent irl blueprint

[dapper grotto]

To save Rush Duel, you must delete it from existence.

-Goha Corporation

[robust void]

o yea this is a really good point in that we don't necessarily have to wait for their slow ass anime character rollouts to play certain decks (though inevitably they will withhold major cards)

[robust void]

@sleek garnet how are psychics supposed to win vs dragons if they can't put their opponent into otk range by turn 4 and their monsters are so weak that any battle damage puts them into kill range the next turn if they try and use any of their LP lowering effects

matchup feels unwinnable without sheer luck on your side

[sleek garnet]

I was thinking the same ngl

Kinda want to cut amusi performer for that

[robust void]

ghost cyclone was a bad addition to the game I'm calling it now

giving the decks that don't need to run any backrow a -0 option to remove the only cards that can counter them was idiotic

it undermines every new backrow card they added

[sleek garnet]

Tbh everyone who played irl rush before saw it was a bad idea from a mile

[robust void]

also I've noticed literally no one is running call of the earthbound which is hilarious since it's limited 3

oh good I feel validated

[sleek garnet]

Ghost cyclone will also literally never get powercrept

[robust void]

I wouldn't be surprised if they're not bothered by dragons being oppressive since ygo just historically favors them tbh

[sleek garnet]

So no idea why they added it when hammer crush was in the last main box

It was really unnecessary

[robust void]

it's so extreme it boggles the mind

gotta nerf phantom bind said someone

[sleek garnet]

CotE only really does stuff if you have a monster with 2500 atk on the field and the opponent didn't use SRM/Prima

Which is like

The one of and the 3 guys that are also limited 3

So lmao

I guess dian keto exists?

Good for them ig

But yea ngl

In some ways the meta now feels worse than day 1 of rush

[robust void]

I'm shocked to say it but yeah I kind of agree

they completely misread the meta

it makes me pessimistic for future formats

[sleek garnet]

30 card rush is also a bit weird in a way that you can't run too many cards that can't be simply normal summoned or else you risk bricking

So you're incentivized to not run backrow removal if you're on backrow

But then you walk face first into widespread which literally everyone runs

It's weird

[robust void]

I was also thinking that

the game is so hard balanced around 40 cards wrt ratios of tribute monsters and backrow

it doesn't need to be at 30. it doesn't do anything to benefit the mobile format like it did for speed

[sleek garnet]

Ironically it makes the aggro decks even better because they get to dig for their good cards faster

[robust void]

yeah and their monsters build more advantage than other boss monsters so other decks can't build the same way to compete

[sleek garnet]

Lowkey wish the hangry romin skill didnt make so that you also drew prima guitarna

Not only are you drawing 2 level 7s in a deck that doesnt have many ways of making tribute fodder, it also makes so that your skill turns itself off if you draw all your copies of prima before activating it

[robust void]

here's all these high level monsters you can't summon without going -2000 LP with romanpick combos

oh and you're dead next turn because you can only direct attack once btw

oh and you're not getting lethal because your opponent set 3 battle traps

now your board is down to 2 or less monsters and you have no LP

it would've been really cool if it was draw 2 romanpick and esperade then add 1 prima all from outside of deck

so you go +1

[sleek garnet]

That as well, you want to keep your lp high for romanpick loops but half of your deck wants you to pay taxes

It's a really weird balancing act

[robust void]

and it was designed for 8000 LP

rush isn't like speed where LP costs were largely pointless and didn't need to be modified

[sleek garnet]

I also hate how the romin npc keeps teasing the chemical cure package

[robust void]

saaaaame

tho u know dude

if they add that

you're just opening 3 medicine

[sleek garnet]

Without the fusion playing 1 of each medicine is probably like

Fine

I also hate how psychics can just sometimes like

Lose to deckout because the opponent keeps setting 3 every turn

[robust void]

yeah I've been there

their shuffle effects suck so that's not a good incentive to run them

let's put even more low value cards into the deck

I'm at gold 5 btw I might kms if I keep trying to clear kog with psychics

[sleek garnet]

Adds even more insult to injury that pick is the only hard locked card via lvl up

[robust void]

too broken bro

[sleek garnet]

You know what's my least favorite card in the game?

Twin edge dragon

[robust void]

yeah I've lost to that a lot with psychics

[sleek garnet]

Sometimes they resolve the field nuke and poke you for 3k

[quick axle]

Unless it gets on Limited 3.

[robust void]

oh good they can just clear set 3 and still hit you twice

ghost cyclone needs to be banned

not joking

it's a toxic card at 1 even

[sleek garnet]

Man

I was playing some games

[quick axle]

Sorry about that.

[sleek garnet]

A dude on spellcasters shuffled their entire grave with recovery force on turn 7 and got the ghost cyclone draw

[robust void]

oh yeah i also hatw recovery force

extremely strong effect only one type gets

even though they were already given dealer

put those both to 3 actually

I'm killing them all

[sleek garnet]

The luke npc also have their version of it

[robust void]

oh yeah I saw that

the feather card

could you fucking imagine if that came out next box

wouldn't put it past them

[sleek garnet]

Sevensgias will be on the next main box to spite you exactly

The skill sets wonder fusion from deck and foolishes both mats

[robust void]

they'll do it

[sleek garnet]

But yea like

Ngl, 7s road accel being a rota on top of the atk boost is fucking bullshit lmao

Why does it do that for basically free

[robust void]

it's a nuke that makes the psychic skill look tame in comparison

also why can the psychic skill only be used once and does nothing prior to turn 4

seriously they gave it all those restrictions with way worse shit

[sleek garnet]

It reflects the anime because if you summon witch vs yamiruler you just instantly win

But yea like

Calling it rn

People are building psychics wrong

The best version will be running like

0 psychic low level mons

[robust void]

it's prob all generics with prima

yeah that basically

but I don't even want to play that version of psychics

[sleek garnet]

It will probably be like how aquas are playing currently

Where the boss mons are gravity press dragon and torna

[robust void]

weird, both dragons and spellcasters and not even level 7s

there might be a fuckin problem

sorry I'm malding

[sleek garnet]

Btw

Dont play the speed duel ladder to try to vent any frustration you have with rush

Worst mistake of my life

[robust void]

what is it rn

twins?

[sleek garnet]

Hero add super poly

Activate neos fusion

[robust void]

wait the yubel shit?

[sleek garnet]

Burn you for 4k, if that fails they have 3 backrow

Yes

It's cheap so everyone on ladder is on it

[robust void]

I can usually stop that deck with solfachord but it's probably a really specific circumstance enabled by beautia

[sleek garnet]

I'm climbing with bls

I need to switch decks

Everyone is teching vs that

Crow, lancea, transmigration prophecy

[robust void]

didn't it get hit or something?

[sleek garnet]

Yes

Hits only apply on the 30th

I want to play twins but like

If people arent on neos they're on lunalight

So like

Kind of a lose lose scenario

Ok so uh

[midnight fable]

Anyone up to rush duel?

[sleek garnet]

Sure

[midnight fable]

alright gimme a sec, beating up one of the NPCs

[sleek garnet]

Alright

[midnight fable]

871951 for room ID

[sleek garnet]

One sec

Oh shit my food arrived

Uhh

Mind waiting a bit?

[midnight fable]

sure

@sleek garnet you almost done with the food?

[sleek garnet]

Almost

Ok done

@midnight fable gg

[midnight fable]

well played

[sleek garnet]

(I didnt play well at all)

[midnight fable]

that widespread got me good there, probably should've played defensively for a bit longer before pushing for lethal

[sleek garnet]

Same goes for me

I walked face first into widespread ruin as well

[robust void]

hmm thought twins would be doing really well running veiler and warning point etc but I guess those only stop those decks going first...

[sleek garnet]

That's the issue

All of your interaction targets lmao

Your best out is commiting your entire board to ningirsu

[robust void]

going back to rush, man I was feeling so positive about this box at first lol

I feel so naive now....

[sleek garnet]

Everyone did tbf

The main issue everyone had with box 1 rush was lack of backrow and the box did provide that, so everyone focused on that

Problem is that the box doesnt address the other issues everyone had

[robust void]

I felt that way but I really underestimated how much ghost cyclone undermined the new backrow

[sleek garnet]

On another note, people are labbing that the best way to play royal rebels is with the red eyes skill because heavy metal drive being coinflip dependant sucks that bad

[robust void]

it is a really bad skill so I can't say I'm shocked

but why the red eyes skill specifically? just the free level 7?

[sleek garnet]

Kinda

[robust void]

royal rebels feel so unpushed lol what a weird ass decision

hey no need to open the new box

[sleek garnet]

Also hey, 1 card dude with 2.4k atk

But yea like

[robust void]

finally, someone though of a way to make pendulums worse

[sleek garnet]

I feel like they should have pushed more the mini box

[robust void]

the scary part is

I think they thought they did

[sleek garnet]

I mean hey

If odd eyes didnt kill you on t2 they probably lost already

the coinflip doesnt exist dont think about it

[robust void]

but what if they went first

oh God dude I fucking forgot to mention

adding backrow partly to deal with dragons when they can just make slayer live whenever they want with the skill

I fucking hate dragonic resonance why do they get to clear every attack/def threshold for nothing and get backrow removal on top

[sleek garnet]

The plan was to release the ancient cards so that people would ignore that slayer has an effect

But yea like

[robust void]

I've seen a lot of ppl on ancient and I assume it's for variety cuz it feels redundant normally

[sleek garnet]

Shit like twin edge was not designed around it having 1.5k atk in mind

[robust void]

oh yeah ALSO it lets you bypass the sportsdragons restrictions

aaaaaa

they just get everything

[sleek garnet]

In my experience it's kinda like playing shitty spellcaster but your deck is able to play dragias as a tradeoff

[robust void]

yeah I could see that lol

[sleek garnet]

Btw

Beast summoner lets you summon voltcondor

(It wont change the fact people will never play voltcondor ever)

Which is a shame because i really like the deck

[robust void]

yeah it's cool

I think it was intended for bendorbreak but lmao

[sleek garnet]

But building the deck goes exactly like this

Add the birbs
Add mystic dealer as a draw engine
Add torna to out 3 set monsters
Add SRM as a more reliable level 7
Add witch to facilitate srm
Ask yourself why the fuck are you not playing pure spellcasters

[robust void]

that sounds like a lot of decks I've tried to optimize

dealer is poison

[sleek garnet]

Yea

Dealer is so crazy that you ALWAYS want to run it if your deck can use it, but due to the engine taking like, 15 slots, it starts to warp deckbuilding a lot

[robust void]

yeah I think it might necessitate skills being even more restrictive unless they limit it

???

[sleek garnet]

I think they meant like

How you can get 8k points in a single duel

Anyway i've solved post-support psychics, no need to thank me /s

[robust void]

is there a reason to get that many points specifically? I just auto them with whatever

lmao yeah that looks good

[sleek garnet]

Max chests you can get per duel

[robust void]

oh right

I usually just don't bother since you get soooo many items needed to duel them

just auto 1000 times but I guess normal people don't do that

[sleek garnet]

Realistically it doesnt matter now that you can auto duel in the gate unless you really want to get stuff day 1

Yea

[robust void]

auto dueling for grinding btw

never gonna have a non max char day 1 again

not bad

[sleek garnet]

So anyway my keith went to lvl 39 today

[robust void]

I still have the majority of non rush chars to max

[sleek garnet]

I've ran out of gate keys again

[robust void]

running out of keys feels so fuckin bad

[sleek garnet]

I had 20k...

[robust void]

I've been trying to get a playset of every rush char drop and it's the most I've dipped into keys since my hiatus

gonna be sad when they're relevant again

[sleek garnet]

I still need 25 gems for the monster reincarnation bundle

It feels bad

Also this game fucking sucks holy shit

Why doesnt roa have a voiceline for titan's descendant

Unplayable

[robust void]

I've heard the rush VA lines felt pretty cheap

like in abundance

I have it mute so idk

but lame anyway

[timber river]

I love when there's a mirror duel both duelists just go "Get ready for the rush" simultaneously

[sleek garnet]

Nah

One of the lines has like

A slightly delay

It's so funny

[robust void]

one of them is not as ready

how is the music for rush duels

[sleek garnet]

Fucking amazing

[timber river]

Gavin's is really good, idk about the other ones

[sleek garnet]

https://youtu.be/49oPMXyIF5A?si=_auoatETC6uX3hgN

Listen to it

NOW

[robust void]

gonna in a sec

are there any deck types I still need to make

[sleek garnet]

What does the samegalon list look like?

Also funnily enough you're missing dragoncaster

[robust void]

oh yeah I did have that at one point

samegalon list is basically a placeholder lmao

[sleek garnet]

Ah

Lmao

[robust void]

LMAO ok I didn't try at all

[sleek garnet]

I guess you're missing blue eyes too?

[robust void]

oh yeah technically...

it doesn't have any support yet though does it

[sleek garnet]

Nope

Just the skill

Btw, if you ever feel useless, remember the shop sells deckslots for 0.99$ each

On another note

I must once again note how hyped i am for the Neil event

Can't wait for Yuga to relive his PTSD

[robust void]

I need to get back to the anime. I just got to them getting on a boat

[sleek garnet]

Holy shit

[timber river]

Finally got my third Gargoyle

[sleek garnet]

Do i reset

[midnight fable]

dont ask me, Im biased for giftarist

[sleek garnet]

Hmm

It's only 56 packs, might as well go all the way in

[timber river]

Im just getting 3 of each SR/UR but I like having a million decks

[robust void]

I think you only need 1 giftarist but I wouldn't reset bc of the SRs being 1 only

there's some decent three ofs there still

[sleek garnet]

Yea

Gonna try to get chick and piercer guy

[robust void]

pierce guy is unironically really helps warriors

you can put pressure on with them turtling after yamiruler and now you don't need to reduce your tribute fodder to do it

[robust void]

something major about the new psychic skill that can be easy to overlook is it's often best to destroy targets with esperade until the opponent only has 2 monsters left instead of 1 bc the battle damage from the extra destruction is lost and you can only direct attack once regardless. it can often decide games

[midnight fable]

I think later we will get 5friend support

in DLR

[sleek garnet]

Btw summer

What do you think of how skills are currently handled in rush?

Just out of curiosity

[midnight fable]

I like how they're being handled so far

my main fear is if the skills make maximums too efficient, but we arent there yet

[robust void]

I think it's disgusting sevens accel road can be as good as it is and be once per turn while romins skill is once per duel and not nearly as strong

their balancing sucks right now

there's like 2 broken skills 3 decent ones and 20 permanently irrelevant ones

wasn't very smart of them to not give psychics psychic divergence when a single battle trap means you lose on the next turn

[dry widget]

imagine being able to just manifest a romanpick to the top of your deck every turn wow

the hangry skill is very much meant as a "kill this turn or die" skill, yeah

i still think climax beat is the better psychic skill, and it is every turn with a pretty crazy effect

Chaos Max vs Chaos Soldier

[sleek garnet]

Wait

Gx won't have a character this year

Huh

[quick axle]

Only characters of importance that are left are Atticus, Adrian Gecko, any member of the first season villains, Chumley (if they feel like adding him), and most of the Season 4 stuff.

But as Chumley graduated in Season 1, that doesn't seem like it's happening.

DL seems content in ignoring the Season 4 guys.

This includes Nightshroud, mind you.

[robust void]

I don't mean it should be fixed by allowing it every turn

[robust void]

fuck OFF

enjoy your free rota spellcasters

[restive prawn]

5ds and Dm only got 1 each I think

The most characters added to world's were I think zexal and arc v

And sevens has had 2 new characters added in the short time its been out

[hazy crow]

5Ds Misty Treadwell pls (can't wait for Dark Signer ver) , also Mina and the other Yliaster "persona"

Also, why not DSOD upgrades - like Tristan. Or Orichalcos for DM. (Hopefully new skill for Yugi, Kaiba, and Joey that makes Legendary Knights accessible)

[quick axle]

Mina was never a duelist, sadly.

[hazy crow]

Atleast on 5Ds PSP game kek

Maybe she'll fit for the Valkyrie archetype? hahaha She's all for Justice and Fairy deck

I was creeped out when Camula was introduced kek. With her Vampire deck arsenal

[sleek garnet]

Do i change anything?

Skill is legend of heroes

[robust void]

that looks like any changes would be arguable quibbles at best

[sleek garnet]

I should probably change the 3rd evil lilla for a balelynx

But should i play sanctuary too?

[hazy crow]

https://duellinks.konami.net/att/00be2558755858fb61409fab6423d7348eccb76e57

[sleek garnet]

I guess i could also use talkback lancer

1200 attack is bigger than the link 2 funnily enough

Maybe replace gg ez for present, too

[robust void]

now this is comboing https://duellinks.konami.net/att/05719164d16c6315186b0b59a1e7db07b8f49bc279

I don't see any reason why you can't optionally use any of the still images of animated mats as your mat. especially if they're going to fucking charge us

[young viper]

A very cool name for a set

[sleek garnet]

On my kog rank up match i go second against lunalights who opened poly chick marten bird and fox

Sometimes they just want it more

[robust void]

I've lost multiple kog rank ups it's getting pretty fucking annoying

I want to meet the idiot designer who thought twin edge dragon should be able to over the maximum amount of defense points available for normals

[small fern]

Yami Yugi didn't call out Dark Paladin for some reason

[mighty bramble]

Thanks so this video I want to build either Malefics or FAs now https://youtu.be/CFxzcVpnpn8?si=hgXceKLE3PSjImaj

[white stirrup]

Malefics atleast have a Skill to be playable now I guess
Though FA could be used for every Character

[mighty bramble]

Anyone with LA anyway

Here’s what I got for FA

Also I decided to use Leo with them because why not

[pastel lotus]

whatever that works with a skill or heavily abuses a skill is good in duel links

masked hero anki with titan showdown

star blast with access denied

only good in... needs to take into account the time of the meta

🐐

[midnight fable]

ooh the goha event looks fun

[dapper grotto]

Glad they gave npc duelists to beat up too lol

[timber river]

Finally got there

[robust void]

@sleek garnet I think psychics should consider going above 30 to play as defensively as possible and wait to swing for an otk without decking out

thoughts?

it also makes guitarna et al less of a brick

oh it'd also excuse more backrow removal

[sleek garnet]

It's definitely an option

I was messing around with giftarist ratios and found that you probably shouldnt be on any level 7s not named prima guitarna

So i guess that would help as well

[robust void]

I think that is correct lol

I worry a bit about not having an answer to 2500 attack threats on some turns but psychics don't shit out free tributes as easily as every other deck

[dapper grotto]

I hate that I forgot to turn off the Batch settings that reset my box after I got all URs in a box. Now I still only have 2 Evil Twin Kisikil.

And I gotta go through the box again to get it lmao.

Maybe I'll just wait for a sale to come on.

[white stirrup]

So

I know this will be the furthest reach in history

But do you think we could get the Characters from the Noah Arc of DM at some point?
Like the Big 5, Noah and his Dad

[robust void]

I'd sooner expect Yugi Christmas alts

[dapper grotto]

Nah, doubtful.

[quick axle]

Highly unplausible, unless the Paradox event gave the DM cast the memories of the anime counterparts.

[dapper grotto]

We're probably never getting anime filler characters, just like we'll never get manga exclusive characters.

Besides DM.

[white stirrup]

Sadge

[sleek garnet]

The fact that most people ask only about dm characters for filler picks while ignoring the legend that is manga chazz is a crime

[young viper]

Man, duelists sound like they're in so much pain when they pay LP

[sleek garnet]

Funnily enough the rush cast doesnt have a voiceline for paying lp, probably because of romin

Speaking of romin, @robust void stardom light is now in the ranked tickets

[robust void]

duuuuude

I don't know what that does so uhh let's look that up

holy shit this is actually super helpful

if we can summon level 7s more often without risking more than 1 direct attack

[sleek garnet]

Back to playing wattkiss

[robust void]

I can't abandon keytar kid

[sleek garnet]

Play all 3 lvl2 vanillas lol

[robust void]

how many level 2s are you gonna run

[sleek garnet]

Uhhhhh

Lemme see

6-8 should be good enough to make it live

[robust void]

I'd have to cut something to get to 6

[sleek garnet]

Worth mentioning that you can send any normal psychic for cost, including stuff like psy stage bouncer and assailant

[sleek garnet]

So probably less than that

Does the lp gain matter enough to run multiple level 2s?

[robust void]

oh yeah I do run assailant so I might be fine

[sleek garnet]

It's also funny for the hangry skill

Since if you were already at lower than 1k lp and you have a vanilla lvl 2 + stardom you get to keep pick for later

Shouldnt come up considering that your opponent (or you) is likely to die this turn tho, so ehhh

[robust void]

I've actually tried to withhold esperade so I can swing with the full destruction effect and all direct attacks. I think it's worth considering. the problem is this does nothing to address possible backrow from keeping you from lethal though it does give you leeway you normally have 0 of

btw grinding these tickets is gonna suuuck

[sleek garnet]

You're probably only gonna need 1 or 2 lights

It'll be fiiine

Specially with the festival going on rn

[robust void]

oh yeah those give some out right

[sleek garnet]

Yea

Also the rush and speed ladder rewards are linked

[white stirrup]

Well we allready have Chazz so adding just Chazz again is dumb
Though he should honestly get a Skill along with Kaiba for the ABZ-VW-XYZ Lineup

[pastel lotus]

no

i'd expect more gx season 4 characters to get in over than anyone from waking the dragons

i like attributes are impure guy

the one who strives for ultimate clarity, clear vice dragon

so dec's main event is... duelist road arc-v edition

maiami city arc

[young viper]

Are there any spells or traps that can change a monsters level to 10?

[pastel lotus]

yes but one of them you have to level anna for

its a vg only card called southern stars

[big win!!] is dicey and you have level dsod jounouchi

[vivid wave]

BIG Win!?

Effect

Declare a Level between 1 and 12; each player tosses a coin, and if both are Heads, the Levels of all face-up monsters you currently control become the declared Level. If both are tails, you lose Life Points equal to the declared Level x 500.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[pastel lotus]

both heads 25%

most other level changing effects are either gain/lose 1~2 levels per resolution besides stuff like red-eyed dice

so nothing else goes straight to 10

[dapper grotto]

I hope we get a skill that turns us into Berserker Yuya. 😏

That has to be the "Legendary Duelist" we get for December, right?

[robust void]

new pend skill for solfa pls

united pendulums is just ok

many duels I never have to use it

[timber river]

I hate this game

I REALLY hate this game

[quick axle]

Brick hands. Love to see them.

[restive prawn]

Oh great zexal mark 2

Raging dragon doesn't need more buffs

[sleek garnet]

Tecnically no deck "needs" support

[robust void]

nah bro

psychics

[young viper]

Y'know, I need to see if there's like, a list of lines for duelists in Duel Links

Like, whenever they summon a specific monster, their taunt lines, etc.

[sleek garnet]

You can find them at youtube

RandomPl0x tends to post those

[midnight fable]

there is on youtube

even for unreleased cards cuz they datamine the voice clips

[young viper]

Ahh, neat

Will look it up. Would rather had a wiki page for such a thing, but I guess this way I can hear the lines myself

[robust void]

@sleek garnet do you bother to avoid playing into ghost cyclone? like if you go first t1 will you avoid setting widespread? or will you sometimes leave one monster alive

I'm trying to experiment with this

[sleek garnet]

It's quite simple in fact

Konami stacks my deck so that ruin is always at the bottom

But seriously tho, if i get cyclone'd i just take it

I dont think it's that big of a deal

People only really play 1 so the draw is almost never live

Also i got a second ancient arise from the 0.99 deal

I think i'll climb ladder with ancient dragons this month

Also might not open the box a second time, for now at least, dont see much value in it

Royal rebel sucks rn so i dont want to spend 9k gems on it

Not having more than 1 recital, speedy performer, and piercer samurai kinda sucks but it's not that big of a deal

[young viper]

Seems RandomPl0X has lines uploaded for cards used, but not other such things like taunts from the look of it

Or maybe I'm misreading these video headers and they have those too. Guess I'll have to find out.

[young viper]

Oh jeez

I just remembered they added Solomon Muto to the game, finally

[quick axle]

Now voiced by Wayne Grayson.

Rest in peace, Maddie Blaustein.

[young viper]

Ah, cool, Solomon has lines for Gambler of Legend.

And Treasure Panda!

Pretty bummed that the videos don't include taunts.

I love some of the nonsensical stuff duelist can say

Like Jaden Yuki just saying "The Eggwich is mine!"

Or Trudge apparently still feeling the effects of that one Shadow Game with Yami Yugi. ("Shower me, with money!")

[robust void]

it took all of this to get 1 SR ticket

[timber river]

Nice! My grind starts tomorrow

[young viper]

Apparently Yami Yugi has lines for Legendary Magician of Dark. Didn't think they'd include that!

[sleek garnet]

Yo post banlist bls still looking really strong

[quick axle]

You got me on the first half, not gonna lie.

[robust void]

damn I've heard of smokescreening but THIS is ridiculous

[sleek garnet]

Got my 3rd bonded bowing from the goha cup packs

[midnight fable]

Kalin has a voice line for trishula

and Tori a voice line for Orbital 7

[white stirrup]

Did Solomon ever play Panda or talked about it?

[midnight fable]

No, it's a reference line

[dapper grotto]

Actually having fun with Noodles in Goha Cup so far.

Though hopefully I can try out Arise Dragon once I figure it out.

[sleek garnet]

This is the list i'm using

I'm liking it so far

[dapper grotto]

Kuribot is so damn elusive lol.

[white stirrup]

So the Goha Cup can be done entierly without PVP?

Should do that for the KCup too

[sleek garnet]

You would still need to get 30 ish ranks via pvp

[white stirrup]

Ugh

[young viper]

Oh, yeah! It's cool how that is

I think the reason for Kalin was generally, Trishula was actually incredibly easy to summon in an Infernity deck, making it a better pick most cases than something like Infernity Doom Dragon

And Tori's JP VA is actually the wife of Orbital 7's JP VA

Still gotta figure the connection out between Shay and Marauding Captain.

[midnight fable]

yep, that's the same reason why treasure panda is a solomon line. Exodia panda was a thing

[sleek garnet]

Arc-V episode 145

[robust void]

i got burned pretty hard on the GC packs. the most recent thing i was working on was a playset of all the drops and i had only 2 left when they announced this

[young viper]

Ahhhh, interesting

[young viper]

what

[robust void]

im guessing they used some card to bounce all the vanilla pieces back to hand

[young viper]

[Treasure Panda]

[vivid wave]

Treasure Panda

Level: 4
[ Beast / Effect ]

ATK 1100 / DEF 2000

Effect

You can banish up to 3 Spells/Traps from your GY face-down; Special Summon 1 Normal Monster from your Deck, whose Level equals the number of cards banished to activate this effect.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[young viper]

Likely!

I thought it was because of his past occupation as a treasure hunter of sorts. Didn't think it'd actually work well in a deck around Exodia

[sleek garnet]

[Dark factory of mass production]

[vivid wave]

Dark Factory of Mass Production

Effect

Target 2 Normal Monsters in your GY; add them to your hand.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[young viper]

And wow, this isn't a card you can only use the effect of once per turn either.

Also this exists too, if this is relevant

[Backup Soldier]

[vivid wave]

Backup Soldier

Effect

While there are 5 or more monsters in your Graveyard: Target up to 3 non-Effect Monsters with 1500 or less ATK in your Graveyard; add them to your hand.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[robust void]

wow thats even easier

actually probably not easier

moreso the zones are limited

bc multiple copies of factory are bricks

[young viper]

I got to wonder if there's something that can return multiple normal monsters to the hand

Best I can come up with is just, Compulsory Evacuation Device

[sleek garnet]

So yea, the plan of treasure exodia is to send the pieces to the gy with [wonder wand] and [white elephant's gift]

[vivid wave]

Wonder Wand

Effect

Equip only to a Spellcaster monster. It gains 500 ATK. If you control the equipped monster and this card: You can send both to the GY; draw 2 cards.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

White Elephant's Gift

Effect

Send 1 face-up non-Effect Monster you control to the GY; draw 2 cards.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[sleek garnet]

Draw your entire deck then add the pieces back them back with factory

[robust void]

let me see if i can remember it [evacuation order]

[vivid wave]

Imperial Order

Effect

Negate all Spell effects on the field. Once per turn, during the Standby Phase, you must pay 700 LP (this is not optional), or this card is destroyed.

F/L Status: Forbidden (TCG/OCG)

[robust void]

nope

theres something called something similar to that

[young viper]

Oh wow, interesting

Didn't think there'd be an effective way to do such that doesn't involve a bunch of bamboo swords

[sleek garnet]

@robust void people in the subreddit are saying they should nerf the rush draw sense skills because of excuties

I fucking can't

[robust void]

The post in question

[timber river]

Man I've been sleeping on Bubble Era decks, 7 wins in a row in the event

[pastel lotus]

serena

only arc-v era anime girl to have gotten and used in-archetypal pendulum monsters

no pendulum zone skills

instead of naming a box for her it just became "deck build box"

but at least i can build a decently faithful 2016-ish deck for her now

serena, rin, and ruri have no manga appearance nor manga cards

yuzu have manga appearance and no manga cards

i been demolishing silver rank with moonlight except against necrovalley lockdown since i didn't pack enough invalidate floodgate cards

ss lock and graveyard lock really hurts although they (that deck) won by deck out rather than kill

i have had a really fun time in silver, including a move where i just wanted to ko the monster i stole but it ended up winning against the opponent because the xyz i stole had used [dragoncaller magician] as xyz material

[vivid wave]

Dragoncaller Magician

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

ATK 2400 / DEF 1000

Pendulum Effect

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

Effect

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

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[pastel lotus]

it was a raging pendulum deck kek

when odd tech choices can still win

gold rank is meta deck players who are too lazy or genuinely timeless to climb to platinum or legend (minus the people actually climbing)

[sleek garnet]

What's even the point here? That they'll make good cards 20 years into the future?

[white stirrup]

From what year was that?

anyway, i send the op my worst regards too due using inherent

[sleek garnet]

Oh shit i just noticed z-one's theme shares yusei's leitmotif

That's sick

[sleek garnet]

Bro i got hit by draconic pressure into blazing dragon into skill into dragorite

I got hit by 4300 direct damage

Some people just want it more

[white stirrup]

Using Red Eyes Black Dragon Sword in Rokkets is pretty funny

[timber river]

The temptation to reset is real

Oh boy

I won

[sleek garnet]

LET'S GOOOOOOOO

[sleek garnet]

How do people win with yubel that deck is awful

Engine vs engine the yubel player loses every time

People legit just see that the skill is not opt and assume the deck is broken

[robust void]

lol coincidental timing but

I feel like most people don't use bonded bowing correctly

it shouldn't be used to just draw immediately into a card you would have otherwise so yamiruler can attack. it's best set until you have a turn where you can play with basically a 7+ card hand. it can let you otk or make a nigh unkillable 2 yamiruler+backrow board

also tangentially related but the deck is also at risk of decking out relatively easily so there's that too (usually this doesn't come as a result of bowing though)

[dapper grotto]

Whew...

[robust void]

hell yea

I wish I could keep grinding but I guess it's back to the main ladder

[sleek garnet]

Yo nice i was needing a 3rd one

Now i never have to grind the sevens gate for drops again

[robust void]

it's cool how dragons can just essentially search their deck for another 2800 beatstick that also functions as backrow removal so any already impotent traps you had are destroyed on command. I love how this deck can do literally anything

[timber river]

Ive gotten 3 Stone Dragons from my Rainbow packs..

[pastel lotus]

rin 2024

leap year

i don't think windwitch will turn big but i can't wait for her inclusion anyways

checkmate

[white stirrup]

Wish that Card would be good lol

[timber river]

Hey game if you could stop making me open my one of Ghost Cyclone when im going first that would be great

[robust void]

man when they add a new ticket card why don't they just do 1 for every rarity.....

is it that hard

[robust void]

prediction: I feel confident beast gear will be the star of the next RD set as a way to power check dragons through Apocalypse world in addition to the inevitable post-GC hits. it will turn out to not be enough to make dragons anything other than the unequivocal best deck and they'll take more hits after the second GC and maybe a third. frame this when I'm right or mock me ruthlessly when I'm wrong

I think it will become increasingly clear that a large part of why dragons are so good is because they have good effects with every monster level that directly assist their strategy and their skill makes it nigh impossible for them to not get field presence back every single turn. if they go the route of the second box of trying to fix shit via generics and not buffing other deck types directly with more support it will take ages for them to compete. dragons can usually run a lot of generics used against them or they just don't care if they are, and the recent skills for psychics and royal rebels are so oddly overbalanced that I'm not sure if an intended new powerful skill would actually cut it. otherwise that would be an avenue to buff shit besides increasing the cardpool

oh they're nerfing raging pendulum

uhhh why

[small fern]

too late to do that, they already powercrept it

[sleek garnet]

Speedroid buffs, we are so fucking back

[sleek garnet]

Man

People on the subreddit exaggerate so much it's actually hilarious

"I hope rokket will pay for their sins"

Of being the 4th best deck

[white stirrup]

I play Rokkets with the Red Eyes Sword
It's pretty funny

[jaunty radish]

Whats next event ?

[sleek garnet]

Wave duels

[dapper grotto]

Ayy, epic grind again for some small chance at different character dynamic in dialogue.

[pastel lotus]

did blue-eyes go back to being mid?

[robust void]

lol

yo why are so many ppl on s-force running ties that bind? surely there is something better than this? @sleek garnet

[robust void]

just hit kog again with pure royal rebels. wasn't necessarily trying to just wanted more skills for roa and it happened. that's cool. deck may not be great but it's a hell of a lot better than psychics rn

[sleek garnet]

It lets you beat over certain atk thresholds, t1 justify isn't reliable enough to justify (heh) the avramax skill, and life boost alpha is life boost alpha

[robust void]

why not destiny draw

[sleek garnet]

If your lp hit lower than 2k you're probably already dead

Deck is not resilient enough to stop damage if the board gets broken

[robust void]

if your board is broken that hard you won't have a comeback board to use ties with right

[pastel lotus]

which one is better, skull meister or effect veiler?

[robust void]

veiler and it's not even close

[pastel lotus]

idk with the high amount of graveyard effects you'd think meister would have grown in usability plus it doesn't target

[sleek garnet]

Yes, but tttb can be used to press advantage

Ddraw just sits there

[robust void]

fair enough

it still feels weird theres nothing better lol

[robust void]

meister isnt even as good in the tcg/ocg and its far far easier to pitch shit to gy in that

[sleek garnet]

Kinda happens when generic skills now either require a very hard to modulate lp cost, or make you unable to activate any cards at all in your first turn

[robust void]

if that's the case I can't blame em

there were still some annoying ass generics even when I first played

it's probably yet another reason for legacy skills huh

archetypal skills excuse more restrictive but specific skill design

[pastel lotus]

eternal bond is kind of interesting in that it doesn't impose any hard requirements of your deck composition but does outline the ss embargos you face when using the skill

idk if it actually makes the duels feel more anime, i don't feel it does, but since it calls an anime relevant boss for free some might think it does

favorite duel seem similar to eternal bond text-wise but has deck composition requirements alongside the ss embargos

[robust void]

if I'm max rank in both the GC and normal ranked ladder, is either one more beneficial to me to play more games on? I'm just trying to get skills but I don't know if there's other possible benefits depending on which ladder I play

[sleek garnet]

GC is theoretically easier because you have the possibility to face people who did like, 10 pvp games and grinded most of the ranks via pve

It shouldn't matter too much tho

Casual ladder also exists ig

[robust void]

oh weird I found one downside

you can't use results boosters in GC

[sleek garnet]

We have reached the natural endpoint of the average r/duellinks "discussion" post

[sleek garnet]

You know, it's funny

The jaden/yubel event retcon caused a bunch of inconsistencies to appear

Namely syrus' uniform and zane still being an edgelord

[young viper]

Y'know I never thought to ask this yet but
