duel_links

[sleek garnet]

Because if used your skill to replace a tenki for another tenki you wasted your skill that could be used later

[midnight fable]

you only have like 2 formations in the deck. And having a tenki for a follow up turn isnt bad

[sleek garnet]

Anyway

When i was climbing speed ranked what i expected was live twin and tenyi

What i faced instead was every magical musketeer player known to man

[robust void]

and you all mocked me....

[sleek garnet]

And i will continue to do so, i havent lost to a single one

[mighty bramble]

I decided to use Sylvio with Ancient Warriors because it seems like something he’d use

[sleek garnet]

I can see it

Btw i'm gonna call it right now

The biggest winner of the new box is actually constellar

That deck is fucking crazy

[indigo grail]

Oh is Pleiades nuts in the game

[quick axle]

Cydra got their coveted Pleiades... way too late.

And as a Limited 1.

[sleek garnet]

Nah the skill is fucking crazy

[indigo grail]

Oh boy another anime deck with a fucked skill

[sleek garnet]

Reveal 1 "Constellar" monster in your hand to your opponent and send 2 "Constellar" monsters from your Deck to the Graveyard. If you Xyz Summon a "Constellar" monster during this Duel, you can treat it as a Level 3-6 "Constellar" monster and if you Normal Summon/Set a "Constellar" monster, the required Tribute is not needed. You can only Special Summon "Constellar" monsters while you are using this Skill (excluding Special Summons from your Extra Deck).
This Skill can only be used once in a Duel.

[sleek garnet]

It aint even an anime skill dipper is not in the game

It got included in the same batch as an lswarm skill

[indigo grail]

Fair given Pollux and Castor

[quick axle]

The only fitting characters currently for Constellar and lswarm from the characters we have, are... Sera and Aigami.

[indigo grail]

Even if the Steelswarm Virus stuff and Constellars might not have been around the same parts of the Duel Terminal lore

[sleek garnet]

Btw the skill is mistranslated

What it does in the second sentence is treat any constellar(s) as an level 3-6 when xyz summoning

So basically your constellar xyz are link 2 monsters

So tldr, the skill alone

Foolishes 2 constellars
Allows you to normal summon any constellar without tributing
Makes you able to ignore levels when xyz summoning a constellar

[white stirrup]

Meanwhile lswarm got a gutted version of it somehow lmao

[sleek garnet]

I mean

Constellars endboard in engine is just a compulse

[white stirrup]

I am pretty sure you are only supposed to use the Level 4 Xyz engine but still

[sleek garnet]

Ophion is fucking ophion lmao

[white stirrup]

Would have been great to atleast have smth for the shitty Tribute stuff they were before

[sleek garnet]

It sets up scout in gy, i guess

[robust void]

they're just bad

[sleek garnet]

I do wonder what skill they'll run post support

Balance locks you out of max

[robust void]

yeah I dunno tbh

I don't have the resources to build them even though they're one of my favorite decks

[sleek garnet]

I guess draw sense low level could work?

[robust void]

what about draw sense mst

[sleek garnet]

It's an option

Although a not really consistent one

[robust void]

it's such a shame they don't have an archetypal balance skill

[sleek garnet]

It's a shame we nerfed all generic skills to the ground

[pastel lotus]

laughs in noble knights

[pastel lotus]

is the new skill live?

how is it different from raging pendulum?

[sleek garnet]

@robust void bro i was browsing the subreddit, there's like, 4 different people malding about solfachord currently

What type of propaganda did you spread?

[dapper grotto]

Less than half an hour until the reckoning.

[dapper grotto]

It's here!!

[quick axle]

Good luck with your pulls, everyone.

[sleek garnet]

Another one

Also... Beast gear trike fox is limited 3

Guess we're getting that now

[robust void]

they faced me

what would trike fox realistically conflict with

dicks running both it and Phoenix?

[sleek garnet]

I think it's just the usual culprits

Dragias, yamiruler, heavy metal

[robust void]

wait when you played vs muskets yesterday they didn't even have max? wtf

[sleek garnet]

Yea, that was why i was so confused

Hmmm

I should dig for a construct

Surely my lack of gems for the immediate future wont cause me any trouble

[pastel lotus]

emergency teleport

how would a tele-dad dl deck pan out?

pretty much no one used psychic tuners in regular play

also how many el shadoll fusion monsters is the game giving?

construct's 2nd effect don't seem that good

[sleek garnet]

Construct, wendigo, grysta, and winda via the skill

[pastel lotus]

[el shadoll windigo]

[vivid wave]

El Shaddoll Wendigo

Level: 6
[ Psychic / Fusion / Effect ]

ATK 200 / DEF 2800

Effect

1 "Shaddoll" monster + 1 WIND monster
Must first be Fusion Summoned. (Quick Effect): You can target 1 monster you control; this turn, it cannot be destroyed by battle with an opponent's Special Summoned monster. You can only use this effect of "El Shaddoll Wendigo" once per turn. If this card is sent to the GY: You can target 1 "Shaddoll" Spell/Trap in your GY; add it to your hand.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[pastel lotus]

so light, dark, wind, and fire

grysta can negate a special summon that's about it

they all seem mid

and we already have later series 9 archetypes in the game like triamid and invoked

[quick axle]

Wendigo looks like a Ritual Beast card.

[white stirrup]

Well she is

a[Ritual Beast Tamer Wen]

[vivid wave]

Ritual Beast Tamer Wen

[quick axle]

I meant more like the dolphin on the back.

[white stirrup]

a[Ritual Beast Ulti-Pettlephin]

[vivid wave]

Ritual Beast Ulti-Pettlephin

[white stirrup]

It's also it's own Ritual Beast and they both got a Zefra Version too

[pastel lotus]

yeah i am glad its dead

[white stirrup]

Btw this seems VERRY shat
I know Special Summoned monsters are basicly all big ones these Days but damn not even protection against effects?

[quick axle]

@white stirrup Actually, you would want to summon stuff other than Wendigo. Winda is like your go-to-go floodgate, and Construct is pretty much the Stratos of the deck.

[white stirrup]

I know

I said Wendigo is shit

It protects 1 single monster against battle destruction

[sleek garnet]

Reminder, these cards are from 10 years ago

[white stirrup]

I know lol

Doesn't mean I can't critic them based on other Cards in the same Deck

[sleek garnet]

But yea

Half of the shadoll fusions are basically there only to be used as super poly targets

[white stirrup]

I guess it's more to trigger the second effect of the Flip monsters lol

[pastel lotus]

hope they finally get to artifact xyz (durandel) this year

[sleek garnet]

[white stirrup]

Oh cool

I feel like they need to push the Rush format with that a bit anyway
Gem management for 2 entierly different formats is not really great to say the least

[sleek garnet]

Yea

[timber river]

[Beast Gear Trike Fox]

[vivid wave]

Beast Gear Trike Fox

Level: 2
[ Beast-Warrior / Effect ]

ATK 400 / DEF 900

Effect

Special Summon 1 Level 7 or lower Beast-Warrior Type monster from your hand face-up to your field. Your Level 6 or lower monsters cannot attack this turn.

F/L Status: Unreleased (TCG/OCG)

[sleek garnet]

Hold on

[sleek garnet]

Fuck

[multistrike dragon dragias]

[vivid wave]

Great Multistrike Dragon Dragias Burst

Level: 10
[ Dragon / Maximum / Effect ]

ATK 2000 / DEF 0

Effect

This card cannot be destroyed by your opponent's Trap Card effects.

F/L Status: Unreleased (TCG/OCG)

[sleek garnet]

Not quite

[timber river]

These cards were added to Ranked Duel Ticket Rewards

[robust void]

wendigo was shit when it came out too just to be fair

also why are they adding beast gears withought apocalypse

theres virtually no point

[sleek garnet]

You will use forest and you will like it

[sleek garnet]

Yearly reminder that Lumis&Umbra are playable characters and Yosh isn't

[midnight fable]

archive skill for beast gears incoming?

[white stirrup]

My man we got Scud and Tristan

I like doing 50 damage per turn

[indigo grail]

Man Beast Gear goes hard

[white stirrup]

Why did they give us [Commander Covington] if we can't even use his effect?

[vivid wave]

Commander Covington

Level: 4
[ Machine / Effect ]

ATK 1000 / DEF 600

Effect

You can send 1 face-up "Machina Soldier", "Machina Sniper", and "Machina Defender" you control to the GY; Special Summon 1 "Machina Force" from your hand or Deck.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[white stirrup]

I know the answer is Pack Filler but why not atleast give us some random other Machine monster instead?

[half sphinx]

They errata'd him

He can now use the 3 guys even if they're in the S/T zone

[white stirrup]

How would you get them there?
Am I missing smth?

Was one of them a Union monster?

[robust void]

copy the name of something in gy

also there's generic cards that equip a monster

[runic rover]

i only spent the free 500 gems on the box to save the rest for when the selection box and all that comes mid january... and like pulled sphere mode, the continuous spell and phoenix mode in those. 🧐

now to farm yami dude for ra's disciples..

[white stirrup]

I don't know any that equipp a monster from you to one you control

[robust void]

doesn't red eyes with chain do that

[white stirrup]

Only on Red Eyes monsters

[runic rover]

imagine they bring evenly matched in the new box for january/selection box

[white stirrup]

Hopefully they just never bring cards like that ever near DL lol

[sleek garnet]

Y'all do realize duel links has no main phase 2, right?

[quick axle]

Evenly Matched would be such a perfect bait card.

No MP2 means that you left your field wide open for nothing.

[white stirrup]

Wdym? It activates at the end of the Battle Phase so it should still function as intended
[Evenly matched]

[vivid wave]

Evenly Matched

Effect

At the end of the Battle Phase, if your opponent controls more cards than you do: You can make your opponent banish cards from their field face-down so they control the same number of cards as you do. If you control no cards, you can activate this card from your hand.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[white stirrup]

I think atleast

[quick axle]

But then what? What will you do after you activate it after your own BP

[white stirrup]

Why would I use it in my own battle phase?

Never did that myself

[quick axle]

That's how I used it in the normal game, since that's how you break a field that doesn't have negations, and since there's a MP2, you have a chance to rebuild.

Because Evenly can be activated on hand if you don't control any cards, that's why.

[white stirrup]

Well that just means you have 1 less use for it
Still worth running for some decks I guess

But honestly I don't even want to see this thing in DL ever

[sleek garnet]

Huh?

[quick axle]

Why the emote? Just wondering.

[sleek garnet]

I am slightly concerned about that comment, that's all

[white stirrup]

I usually remove stuff with my Unchained so it's not neccesary to keep it on the field for stff like that

[sleek garnet]

So like

Do you use it as a mirror force?

[white stirrup]

Basicly yeah

I find more use for it as a Handtrap

Btw how manny times do you need to top deck that 1 Copie of Sangan in your 20 Card Deck before I can sue Konami for cheating?
It's like the 5th time in a row now

[young viper]

Pretty bummed that Randompl0x's videos don't have like, voice lines for taunts

[sleek garnet]

https://www.duellinksmeta.com/top-decks/meta-weekly/311/magical-musket/samir/GdBGP

[quick axle]

Magical Musket has consistency for days, but... still weak to disruptions, sadly.

[sleek garnet]

Ok but bookmark add toon harpy lady synchro summon cyber slash is insanely funny

[white stirrup]

Omg

I forgot you can make the synchro with it

Holy shit

[young viper]

!dltiers

[sleek garnet]

Hepboat doesnt work on threads, do it on #bot_spam instead

[robust void]

wait do muskets not have last rebellion

[quick axle]

[Last Rebellion]

[vivid wave]

Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon

Rank: 4
[ Dragon / Xyz / Effect ]

ATK 2500 / DEF 2000

Effect

2 Level 4 monsters
You can detach 2 materials from this card, then target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; its ATK becomes half its current ATK, and if it does, this card gains that lost ATK.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[quick axle]

What card is that?

[robust void]

[last stand]

[vivid wave]

Magical Musket - Last Stand

Effect

When your opponent activates a Spell/Trap Card while you control a "Magical Musket" monster: Negate the activation, and if you do, destroy that card. You can only activate 1 "Magical Musket - Last Stand" per turn.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[robust void]

really important to making sure max resolves

[quick axle]

No.

They don't have that.

[robust void]

fucking lame

[quick axle]

Konami is rather stingy in easy negations on archetypes.

They're also missing Crooked Crown, for the record.

[dapper grotto]

I'm seeing a slight surge of Constellars popping up in KoG decks ATM, though they seem pretty weak to disruptions too. And they don't have that excellent spice of being able to profit off of E con or Cynet Crosswipe.

[tawdry hawk]

Can anyone help me

Can anyone help me

With my deck

And anyone wanna add me on duel lunks

[pastel lotus]

every time i try to deck edit my 2nd deck on dsod yugi my game freezes then the unity windows comes up and force the game to terminate

and i only need to access it so i can make a ritual deck to skill earn

game really is crafted from awfulware

https://duellinks.konami.net/att/0521007732716b70f72b54ad1786ca49bb4ccbcc6e

[sleek garnet]

Pollux is the funniest card ever

It eats so many interaction it's insane

[quick axle]

And the effect cannot be negated, unless the summon was negated.

Since the inherent effect comes after the Normal Summon was resolved.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

[sleek garnet]

Yea

People try veilering it thinking it does something

It's hilarious

[quick axle]

People don't know how to read, even in Duel Links.

[sleek garnet]

Had a neos player use super poly on it during my ranked climb, too

[robust void]

haha but no really what are you giving us

[quick axle]

A little drip.

[white stirrup]

Next Year it's a Copie of a Dark Magician Alt Art

[timber river]

I'm about to end this mans whole career

[quick axle]

Hopefully he doesn't have any Hanewata.

[timber river]

He didnt

[white stirrup]

The fact he also had a Zylinder💀

Lmao

[white stirrup]

Using Gravekeepers with Marik and Ra feels just kind of right

[sleek garnet]

🤓 um actually gravekeepers is ishizu's archetype

[quick axle]

🤓 Uhm... actually, Marik's structure deck in the TCG had Gravekeepers.

[sleek garnet]

🤓 but uhh, the deck is actually ishizu's since she shows up in a[gravekeeper's trap]

[vivid wave]

Gravekeeper's Trap

[white stirrup]

Meanwhile the one dude who actually used them:

[quick axle]

And he was just a bump in the road, just serving as exposition for getting a MacGuffin for the Shadow Riders arc.

If memory serves me correctly.

I think he was pretty much the Gravekeeper's Chief as a character.

[mighty bramble]

First pack of this multi

[late cedar]

how to improve ?

[late cedar]

[dapper grotto]

Symbols of duty ain't good tbh, switch it for Silver's cry.

[late cedar]

ah no ? smh i use it almost in all my decks

[dapper grotto]

You put normal monsters in all your decks?

You have to also remember that your opponent can MST it and it fizzles.

[late cedar]

yeah im used to old yu gi oh decks lol

[late cedar]

anyway , i dont have that card u mentioned

this insetead ?

[dapper grotto]

RIP.

And yeah, just keep Monster Reborn for now.

[late cedar]

so the only improve is to remove symbols of duty ?

i still need a card to get 20 lol

4* sorry

[dapper grotto]

Were you able to grind Kaiba for Melody of the Awakening Dragon?

It's a MUST for this deck.

[late cedar]

i think i got this

i got kaiba lvl 28 or som

blue eyes related cards i own :

[late cedar]

this ?

[dapper grotto]

No.

This

[late cedar]

oh

[dapper grotto]

Sadly, you gotta go high level for Kaiba DSOD and reg Kaiba for Melody.

DSOD Kaiba at least gets you two Melodys a bit quicker.

[late cedar]

ah yeah

so we still at the same point haha

[late cedar]

is it worth the grind ?

or i should focus on other deck

[dapper grotto]

Unless you're willing to shell out real money for that Blue eyes structure deck with Cards of Consonance, you're probably gonna have to find another deck.

Blue eyes bricks even harder without those cards.

Check duellinksmeta.com's top decks to see any decent decks that you have most of.

[late cedar]

[late cedar]

@dapper grotto bro , best to unlock ? i got 3 ticket

[dapper grotto]

Have you unlocked the other worlds yet?

[late cedar]

yes

all of them

[dapper grotto]

Ahh okay then, then probably Jaden/Yubel

[late cedar]

actually i got 7 ticket lol

[dapper grotto]

I heard he had some crazy hard requirements to unlock

[late cedar]

yah yubel is a headeach

[dapper grotto]

Seems like you can unlock any character you want, since all the really difficult unlocks are unlocked.

[late cedar]

i like yubel

[quick axle]

To unlock Yubel, you need to unlock other characters first.

I think it goes like this: Syrus, Zane, Jesse.

[small fern]

is it dub-only that Quattro had it as a generic deck (back when he had mirror force)?

(well i may have jumped to conclusions and he only uses necrovalley like mystic mine)

[mighty bramble]

anyone here ?

[late cedar]

yes i know but i have character tickts

[late cedar]

What should i buy? @dapper grotto

[dapper grotto]

With your gems, or real money?

[late cedar]

both

i maybe can get around 10 of those packs

[dapper grotto]

If you don't have Book of Moon, that one definitely.

Along with MST.

Everything else really depends.

[late cedar]

mst ?

[dapper grotto]

Mystical Space Typhoon.

[late cedar]

oh

i got this card

i need more copy ?

[dapper grotto]

3-of.

[late cedar]

oki

considering this pack come with the lastest card banner , should i try build a deck with it ?

you knowthose sushi things lol

[late cedar]

https://www.duellinksmeta.com/top-decks/king-of-games/january-2024/gunkan-suship/mta/kY0W7

[dapper grotto]

Yeah, Sushi is a pretty nice f2p deck imo

Though I guess it'll be a throttle to find those Extra Deck Rank 4s, huh?

[late cedar]

Wym?

[dapper grotto]

I think two of the Extra Deck cards come from the Solflare Lightning main box, while Exciton Knight is from a Selection Minibox.

[late cedar]

Oh yeah...

Cant use the deck without them ?

Thing is every deck i find have different box in it

[dapper grotto]

I guess you'll just need to find replacements for those Rank 4s.

Any decent Rank 4 you could find.

If not, just add more copies of the Suship XYZs.

[late cedar]

Oki

Thing is

Those stupid sushi card are orendous LMAO

How this work ? Why all the packs got the same box packs ? Will it change ?

I might hold on

Because i really dont like those sushi cards lol

[dapper grotto]

Lmao, I'm at least having fun with them.

[late cedar]

xd

[late cedar]

https://www.duellinksmeta.com/top-decks/king-of-games/december-2023/odd-eyes/wonderllama/AFErS

what about this deck ?

if i buy 3 time ode eyes challenger and magician arc i can almost haveall th deck

[dapper grotto]

Yeah, that could work. Not sure how strong it'll be on the ladder, but it is definitely explosive once it gets going.

[late cedar]

btter than my blue eyes deck no ?

[dapper grotto]

Yes

[quick axle]

"He appears in-game after the player reaches Stage 13 of Duel World (DM) and can be unlocked as a playable character by clearing the second Mission Bingo card"

[lime pewter]

Ye i read that. But idk where the Bingo Card is

Or is this with the Tourguide Mission bingo

[quick axle]

No, that's a different bingo.

Effect

You can Special Summon this card (from your hand) to your zone a DARK Link Monster points to. You can only Special Summon "Rokket Caliber" once per turn this way. You can Tribute this card; Special Summon 1 DARK Dragon or Machine monster from your hand, except "Rokket Caliber". You can only use this effect of "Rokket Caliber" once per turn.

[pastel lotus]

all new skills feel like free field spam (for the endowment of x category)

kind of troubling that more skills in that form will crop up in years ahead

proto cyber dragon skill which was nerfed feels even more tame than this deluge of new subsidy skills

infernity zero text:
This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by this card's effect. When your opponent activates a card or effect that would inflict damage, while your Life Points are 2000 or less, you can discard all other cards in your hand to Special Summon this card from your hand. You do not lose the Duel even if your Life Points become 0. If you have no cards in your hand, this card cannot be destroyed by battle. For each time you take damage, place 1 Des Counter on this card. When there are 3 Des Counters on this card, destroy it.

even this card is nowhere as vitrol-inducing as new field fill skills (doesn't prevent losing by deck-out)

[young viper]

I found the taunts

And the best one

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

"Oh yeah!"

Jokes aside, one of Joey's JP lines is something along the lines of "Mieru kedo, Mienai Mono", which I think translates roughly to "Things you can see, but can't see"

Which is just great. Love how they kept that line in.

[white stirrup]

What does that one even mean?

[tawdry crown]

iirc it's a metaphor for duelist pride that was in the original jp version of dm

ALSO new bundles for Barrel Dragon and Sword and Shield (Which is Limit 1)

[quick axle]

For the one who thought Armageddon Knight was going to be Orcust support... guess what? Limited 3.

[white stirrup]

So what you are saying is that it's Necrofear Support

[midnight fable]

barrel dragon pog

[sleek garnet]

ok so

can we talk about the new tag duel soundtrack?

holy shit

[sleek garnet]

hoping they'll add mirror innovator in the next box

[dapper grotto]

YES. Oh my God, it slapped. Such a riveting feeling listening to the new tracks.

[sleek garnet]

Hmmm

I want to get the new rush bundles but i dont really want anything from the heavy metal box

[timber river]

You could wait till the next box comes out

[sleek garnet]

I know

But man, waiting 3-4 for a new box sucks

[robust void]

I'm waiting myself

I don't think the new cards are good enough to justify buying the bundles on their own

they're just okay tech cards

[robust void]

@sleek garnet you try flag breaker yet

I want to wait till I can buy the final SD but...

[sleek garnet]

Not yet

My friend did tho, he said it was on par with the dragias hammer crush deal pile

[robust void]

is that a general dragon deck or just goodstuffs

[small fern]

why is assembling a decent jack atlas deck so hard

[white stirrup]

Is it?

[small fern]

cards are even more scattered than usual

i guess there's placeholder cards, but..

[white stirrup]

Oh you mean scattered over Boxes
I thought you meant he has no good cards for that

[small fern]

yop

[white stirrup]

Red Resonator and Red Rising Dragon carried me until I got his other Cards to make a Deck with his Cards/Archetype

[sleek garnet]

Just the general aggro stuff

[robust void]

rightful magic is the first spell that generically lowers attack. might be worth running it with psychics and stalling until you can otk

[mighty bramble]

I feel really burnt out on the game right now

I decided to get in and got these

[indigo grail]

Woo Connie

[sleek garnet]

@full spade mind dealing with this one?

she was also spamming slurs in vc

[robust void]

I just did a ton of duels with flag breaker

I don't buy ur friends assessment choccy. FB sucks

it turns out going -3 to out one monster doesn't make much sense when you can go -1 to tribute dragias

and while the mulligan skill is good the card it gets is very meh. again you're not actually gaining advantage from it, it's just a very conditional 1000 attack boost. and there is absolutely no chance you will have the card economy to summon FB, use its effect, and clear backrow. you're often forced to end on 2 monsters and when your blowout play is stopped by a trap 90% of the time you die next turn

I wish we could stop pretending 8k LP and 30 card decks make sense for rush duels

also I can count on one hand I actually got to use the level 5's effect lol. again it's just a more conditional basic pierce. the 500 burn, which for some reason is also conditional, doesn't make the set up worth it. it directly conflicts with flag breaker as well because they have insane costs between them even though the implication is you ought to pierce with flag breaker

the decks design just doesn't make sense when people can run more efficient engines that tribute fuel boss monsters that don't need huge costs to win games

imma give raidacross a try next but I'm not expecting much

[quick axle]

https://www.duellinksmeta.com/articles/news/january-2024/datamined-leaks-18

@sleek garnet Maximum Summon incoming.

[midnight fable]

maximum incoming yep

[timber river]

ayy Nail

[sleek garnet]

it's next month

[robust void]

(conditions unknown) Send all cards on your/opponent's field to the graveyard. Afterwards, discard 1 card from your hand.

im sure the conditions are awful but lmao imagine if they werent

if the shiranui skill makes them good i might ladder with them

[dapper grotto]

That has to be an event skill right?

[sleek garnet]

Looks like average raid duel shenanigans

[robust void]

@sleek garnet have you built raidacross yet

[sleek garnet]

No

Deck seems terrible

[robust void]

it seems less bad than flag breaker but definitely still unviable

[robust void]

yo am I miscounting or does yuga legit not have enough deck slots for all of his shit

[timber river]

I've been playing the deck, biggest problem is lack of recovery if they lose their boss

Plus if you Rightful Magic then attack into a trap its a huge blowout

[robust void]

that would suck but the skill does make you plus to be fair

[robust void]

btw how many months has it been since music princess's recital was added

it still has the wrong description

pathetic quality control

[sleek garnet]

October i think?

[robust void]

I feel like the new Mimi cards are fairly substantial

not the new best deck or anything but yknow

[dapper grotto]

Why is the Field Spell limited to 3?

[timber river]

my only guess is they didnt want you playing it with Royal Rebels

hot damn they really want me to play Psychics

[sleek garnet]

Dragias is a light monster

🙂

[robust void]

don't worry they still get to destroy the field for free in the match up so things can still keep being unfair for dragons

it sucks they couldn't make seahorse playable at 3 if you had only aquas or something

[robust void]

is it just me or is every rush duel ladder deck the exact same

[dapper grotto]

Nah, I'm completely stuck on Bronze somehow. It's so damn sacky that I can't get out of it.

And it's all so varied from Rebels, to Noodles and beatdown, to even Gavin's deck.

And of course, the Dragoncasters.

[robust void]

I'm in gold but I've seen nothing but pile decks

there's so few good cards in the game that everyone just runs the same ones and draws them every turn because they stupidly reduced deck size to 30

[timber river]

I mean we've only had 2 sets

and 6 duelists, there aren't that many options

[timber river]

https://www.duellinksmeta.com/articles/sets/legend-of-dark-magic

New Rush Structure Deck

[timber river]

and huge news: Level cap has been incresased to 35 for all Sevens characters

https://www.duellinksmeta.com/articles/quick-news/january-2024/sevens-level-increase

Game I am begging you, give me the field spell

AHHHHHHHHHHHH

[white stirrup]

Another one?

Are they doing that because they realise most People don't waste Gems on the Rush Boxes?

[half sphinx]

I think it's mostly because they want to give the impression of supporting both formats, but Rush can't really get pick-ups or Deck Build boxes due to the small cardpool rn

Since there's not enough cards to reprint in those

[midnight fable]

https://www.duellinksmeta.com/articles/sets/legend-of-dark-magic

OMG

granted sucks I already has 3 DMG, but this is a new alt art so I'll give it a pass

full beast engine, and certain of sparks also

also valkria and vorse leaked

[white stirrup]

How manny Alt Arts do DM/DMG and Blue/Red Eyes have now?

[midnight fable]

difference, this is rush links where she only has 1 art until this Structure deck

[white stirrup]

I meant in general

[midnight fable]

a lot

rush level cap increases btw

[white stirrup]

Atlast

Bit more free Gems

[midnight fable]

lots of free gems, and a lot of backrow removal

talismanic warrior gets the water member at 3 copies via gavin level ups also

[white stirrup]

Me when I get more Gems and immidiently waste them on a Random Box with a Archetype I could allready play fine as is but I want 3 Abyss Actor Madonnas

Atleast I wasted them in the Pick up box with them

[quick axle]

Glad you're having fun, Ms.Guide.

[sleek garnet]

Bro this is so fucking funny

Speed got a box, a sd, a reprint box, a bunch of free cards, and a bundle

Rush got a structure deck

People are saying rush is taking content away from speed in the comments

[sleek garnet]

Anyway

The new box is fucking crazy wtf

Galaxy soldier, seyfert, THE ENTIRE ZOMBIE CORE

Oh yea blue eyes also got support i guess

[quick axle]

Galaxy Soldier, also known as honorary Cyber Dragon support.

[midnight fable]

I get to conserve my gem supply a bit longer for the incoming maximum box

[sleek garnet]

You can get 8k gems by leveling up the sevens cast (if you start from level 20)

I'm balling

[midnight fable]

Im leveling them up yeah

[sleek garnet]

Oh yea right

Kc is next month

Crazy

[robust void]

ironic to be saying this now that all the news has dropped but until now they've done a pretty poor job of balancing deck type tools. like dragons actually had 10x the amount of interesting effects any other deck had. they could've given other decks the same treatment but instead we were still getting SRs like the +400 attack psychic. just super low impact shit. but hopefully that's gonna change soon

[robust void]

I'm going to die.

so there's an interesting discussion to be had now about all the backrow removal

how's it going to affect deckbuilding

will everyone just run widespread and forget about the rest because you can open removal for free in 30 cards

or will these not be that helpful when something like dragons can destroy backrow without losing field presence

because the biggest issue with removal right now is if you get a bad ratio of it your opponent otks you with ease because 6k LP doesn't work in RD

[sleek garnet]

The biggest arguement rn is for people to drop hammer crush deal in pile decks

[robust void]

and pile decks definitely don't need to be any better

I wish so fucking hard they would just admit 30 cards and 6k LP is impossible to work with man

magic curtain is insane what the fuck

what are they thinking

spellcasters can just special summon their entire level 7 lineup and destroy all backrow the same turn

[sleek garnet]

Oh yea i paid konami 1 billion brazilian reais to give casters the most broken shit imaginable

Shit of 7 treasures will be on the next box btw, hope you like it

[robust void]

hmmm we made a horrible mistake with dragons and had 5 cards put to limited 3 so I guess now all we can do is do the same for casters

thanks

why are they so bad at balancing RD

the launch format was unironically the healthiest it has been lmao

if you asked me at the time I would've said that to be an absurd outcome

classic

[robust void]

omg there's an AI NPC with shadow flower. it's not faaaaair

[small fern]

rebels? did they finally add resistants 👀

[timber river]

Guess my complaining worked lol

[sleek garnet]

Fyi, next month's dream tickets are PRISMATIC dream tickets

Spend them wisely

[robust void]

I refuse

[white stirrup]

I will spent them on a 3rd Copie of Yellow Gadget yes

(I am jokong btw I have no Idea what I would use it for in the moment)

[dapper grotto]

Surprised we're getting 2 campaigns in a row with free stuff like this. xd

[white stirrup]

I am not complaining atleast heh

There must be a catch though

[robust void]

@sleek garnet hoo baby this grind is rough compared to launch lmao. I burnt through all my event items doing level 10 x3 on auto and only got romin to 30

[sleek garnet]

Same here

My Mimi is at lvl 31 rn

Ngl i'm heavily considering getting the dmg structure deck

[robust void]

I already bought 3

I'm morally obligated to keep every rush card at 3....

btw what's the point of the talismanic warrior? is it just a better type kuribot

[sleek garnet]

Kinda

It gets better as we get more targets tho

Miginagi is probably the best one

[robust void]

yea I wish we had the others. oh well

just went up against spellcasters with the vagrant. this deck is so cancerous lol. sent him your way sorry

the other day I got a vagrant you sent and it allowed me to send him back to you which I didn't know was possible

[sleek garnet]

Oh you can do that?

Neat

[robust void]

yeah it's like tennis

also I just realized how silly it is that the barrel dragon bundle gives you a sleeve when that already exists for speed duel from bandit Keith's missions

I know it's not IDENTICAL but still

[robust void]

amazing AI

[dapper grotto]

I just love it when your opponent tries to use their light or dark monster to attack your Constellar XYZ with Cadeceus as material.

[quick axle]

[Constellar Caduceus]

[vivid wave]

Constellar Caduceus

Level: 4
[ Spellcaster / Effect ]

ATK 1600 / DEF 1550

Effect

If you control a "Constellar" monster, except "Constellar Caduceus": You can Special Summon this card from your hand. During your Main Phase: You can add 1 "Constellar" Spell/Trap from your Deck to your hand. You can only use each of the previous effects of "Constellar Caduceus" once per turn. A "Constellar" Xyz Monster that has this card as material gains this effect.
●If this card battles a LIGHT or DARK monster, before damage calculation: You can banish that monster.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[quick axle]

Bold to assume that YGO players know to read.

[dapper grotto]

It's even better when they try to attack again, thinking the effect is once per turn.

[sleek garnet]

Fun fact, caduceus triggers before neos wiseman's burn effect

[robust void]

choc im calling it now

i feel it in my gut

blue medicine girl will be in the next set

[indigo grail]

Even played Pure Artifacts once

Going plus Morbillion with Caduceus is always funny

[sleek garnet]

I should make a rush box bingo chart ngl

[indigo grail]

Shoutouts to Artifact Vajra as well

And ig another underrated Artifact…

Artifact Ignition?

[dapper grotto]

Are farm decks even a thing anymore now that you can duel the event people on 3x rewards?

[robust void]

is the free space UR generic that no one runs

[sleek garnet]

And that's the event

[quick axle]

That was fast.

[restive prawn]

Doing that on day 1 is crazy

[dapper grotto]

That must've took hours lmao.

No way in hell I'm grinding that long.

[sleek garnet]

I just did it on the background to grind xp

[dapper grotto]

Whew, got to KoG finally.

Rank up match was using Pure Kaijus of all things lol

And Volcanic Queen. xd

[sleek garnet]

@robust void dark sword magician is the best card in the game

[robust void]

yeah it's a pretty disgusting deck

glad dragons are bumped off the list just for this shit to come along

and buff a deck that already was one of the best in the game

[sleek garnet]

I mean, casters dont even run the srm package anymore

Might as well be an entirely different deck

[robust void]

it says a lot that they don't have to do that don't you think

[sleek garnet]

It just doesnt really synergizes with the new stuff

SRM needs accel while dmg requires magician's shuffle

It's less a "they don't need to" and more so "it doesn't really work"

[robust void]

doesn't dsm work with srm I don't see the conflict

[sleek garnet]

It does but nothing else on the deck

DMG is just a better engine overall than the elemental lvl 6s

[robust void]

can't you just not run the level 6s and have srm as a complete generic

[sleek garnet]

Not exactly

SRM needs to be deckbuilt around because of the attribute requirements

Everything in DM is light or dark

[robust void]

but it's just a big beatstick even with minimal attack boost that dsm puts out for free

[sleek garnet]

It doesnt tho?

Dsm only summons itself

[robust void]

oh I thought it could lol

NVM then

[sleek garnet]

Btw

I tested machines a bit

The best way to play the deck is to basically ignore flag's effect

And treat the deck as an engine that shits out a 3.5k beater

So basically what aggro does with ancient arise dragon

[robust void]

yeah that makes perfect sense

it's unfortunate because the deck feels less interesting for it

the level 2 and skill are legitimately good but it's all just for a beater

[sleek garnet]

It's one of those decks that gets better with time

The issue rn is that there's not enough ways to go plus in the format

[robust void]

I know it still has support

yeah

everything good steamrolls everything else

hammer crush deal is a really degen skill btw

basically cheating game balance

not a great idea

esp when the other skills generally suck

[sleek garnet]

Ngl i like the current format

Dm is really not overbearing at all

Popular, sure, but not oppressive

[robust void]

I still feel completely miserable playing psychics

I don't need it to be t1 just not worthless

[sleek garnet]

The deck is just really incomplete rn

[robust void]

no joke but I don't know why they keep it like this

also LP payment doesn't work in this format

what it means is you put yourself in otk range to put a weak monster on the field and then your opponent opens lethal t1 because decks are 30 cards

[sleek garnet]

I think it can work but not without having a way to increase them back

[robust void]

yeah definitely

but even then they have to contend with running potential garnets other decks don't put up with

like why do we need to pay 500 LP for psychic divergence while others have removal for free

[sleek garnet]

Not exactly the case tbh

A lot of stuff this format have garnets

REBD, Royal rebels, SRM, Warriors

[robust void]

yeah but most of those are junk, I meant compared to good decks

that's why the gulf feels so wide

casters at least have mystic dealer to make garnets almost irrelevant etc

[sleek garnet]

On another note

How is your account doing, gem wise?

[robust void]

I'm over 10k again

maximums pls

the wait for Asana is gonna be brutal cuz that's prob the following box

[sleek garnet]

I feel that

[robust void]

at least wyrms will probably be competitive unless they throw some curve ball between now and then

[sleek garnet]

I hope we get some umi stuff

Rush fish is a cool deck

[robust void]

yeah it is so bizarre we don't even have umi

it looks like a cute deck

do they continue with the gimmick of direct attacking

[sleek garnet]

Yes

I feel like the next box is gonna focus on field spells

Like how heavy metal scream focused on traps

[robust void]

I think that's a good theory

esp since we are setting up for beast world

do psychics have a field

[sleek garnet]

Yes

[vivid wave]

Could not resolve English data for searches: psykiccoff concert

[sleek garnet]

Effect

Special Summon 1 "Prima Guitarna the Shining Superstar" or 1 "Esperade the Smashing Superstar" from your Graveyard face-up to your field.

F/L Status: Unreleased (TCG/OCG)

that would fucking help

psychic attack field presence right now is a huge issue

[sleek garnet]

You know what would be sick?

Scarechairs

[robust void]

yea the AI has them

I've seen zombie carnival too

[sleek garnet]

It cheating the "all monsters in your deck with 1400 or more atk must be X type" for skills makes the deck a lot better

[timber river]

2-3

[mighty bramble]

Do I have enough here for a decent Shaddoll deck

[robust void]

I don't see why not

yeah it sucks not having beast but most shadoll cards are independently good

[sleek garnet]

i got the boy

[sleek garnet]

Hmmm

I'm not happy with my current aggro list

The ratios feel bad

[dapper grotto]

...Bruh.

[quick axle]

Welp... my condolences, Choccy,

Same for you, Dally.

[mighty bramble]

This is what I got

[quick axle]

Ehh... that's decent, I guess.

[sleek garnet]

The pool for the dream pack is every single (speed duel) box cover card

[dapper grotto]

At the very least, I'm glad it doesn't replace Dream Tickets or gems as rewards lol.

[dapper grotto]

....HUH?

Oh, it's because of Droplets being better with the deck than others.

That makes sense.

[sleek garnet]

The deck also has an absurd grind game

[sleek garnet]

and the duel seals reset just after i get kog in rush

great

[indigo grail]

The skill os also rather bonkers

[scenic grove]

i mean if konami where to give us the new support

[hazy crow]

Guys is [Armored White Bear] nerfed on our platform? I can't seem to find a DL logo beside the card ingame (to denote it was fixed/altered to be played on Duel Links)

[vivid wave]

Armored White Bear

Level: 4
[ Beast / Effect ]

ATK 1800 / DEF 1400

Effect

If this card is Normal or Special Summoned while a Synchro Monster is on the field: You can target 1 Field Spell in your GY; add it to your hand. If this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the GY, or if this card in your possession is destroyed by an opponent's card effect and sent to your GY: You can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Beast monster from your Deck or GY, except "Armored White Bear". You can only use each effect of "Armored White Bear" once per turn.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[sleek garnet]

This is tecnically a different version of the card

Since duel links got the tag force version before the tcg printed it

[quick axle]

And weirdly enough, the card hasn't even been updated to reflect the IRL version of the card.

[hazy crow]

I see, I just came across at this card because the system notified me of last chance to exchange tickets kek. I hope they update the card.

[quick axle]

It's been years... so I honestly doubt it.

[hazy crow]

Or atleast update thr effect to just Lvl 4or lowet beast type

[quick axle]

Speaking of years... isn't this the 7th aniversary of the game?

[hazy crow]

is it really 7 years????

I mean just plain old strats like it used to

the fuck is this

[timber river]

uh... cool? Dont think they even play this

[quick axle]

Ahhh! The atmosphere! AHHHHHHH!

[quick axle]

I think that was the cover for the third minibox?

Wonders of the Wind, I think it was called?

The one that had Summoned Skull as a SR.

[white stirrup]

Harpies long lost Half Brother from another Mother?

I find it really funny that Harpies have some really obscure "ties" to some cards

[quick axle]

NVM. Sky Scout was a common in Primal Burst.

[white stirrup]

Like [Birdface]

[vivid wave]

Birdface

Level: 4
[ Winged Beast / Effect ]

Guess it was just a weird bug.

[sleek garnet]

Vorse raider (Rush) is now in the UR ticket pool

[deep mesa]

@sleek garnet

[sleek garnet]

You're playing a lot of cards that your deck does not need and don't do enough

[deep mesa]

Ok which ones should I get rid of and what should I replace them with

[sleek garnet]

You still need a couple of the main raidraptors, too

I would play like

[deep mesa]

I think I have all except mimicry and tribute

I have rudder strix too I just don't use it

[sleek garnet]

Yea try getting those

They're in dream tickets by now

[deep mesa]

Oh nice

[sleek garnet]

So you should be getting them relatively easy

I would cut all the backrow except 1 shave force

[deep mesa]

Back row?

U mean the back column?

[sleek garnet]

Spells and traps, basically

[deep mesa]

I mean I need the rank up magic ones cuz they work with my skill

[sleek garnet]

Yes but you dont need that many

[deep mesa]

True

[quick axle]

If you have too many, you will end up bricking.

[sleek garnet]

Oh yea, also play 1 skip force

You can either play the phantom knights rank up magic to go into odd eyes raging dragon or limited barian force to go into leo utopia ray

[quick axle]

Because you'll draw the wrong card at the wrong time.

[deep mesa]

I don't gave skip force

[sleek garnet]

So you would have 3 rank up magics

[sleek garnet]

It's an R in the minibox, shouldnt be too hard to get it

[deep mesa]

I've been tryna pull it

[quick axle]

Unless the RNG decides to be a bit trolly.

Because an R card can take a lot of gems if you get unlucky.

[deep mesa]

Yeah

I spent forever chasing down cards like that

[sleek garnet]

I would also play 3 fuzzy lanius if you have them

[deep mesa]

I only have the one

[sleek garnet]

Also, if you have sr dream tickets laying around, you could use them on swallow's nest

Very important card for the deck

[deep mesa]

I had one earlier but used it on necro fusion for frightfurs

[sleek garnet]

Ok then

Also

You should probably use box chips to get cosmic cyclone

Should help you a lot with dealing with spells and traps

[deep mesa]

Ok

How's this

[quick axle]

Drop Shard of Greed.

That card is rather useless.

[sleek garnet]

I would cut xyz burst, shard of greed, mace, call and nest

[deep mesa]

Both nest or just one

[sleek garnet]

Both

If nest is resolving you dont exactly need the extra raptor

[quick axle]

So, a winmore card.

[deep mesa]

That would put me at 17 cards

What would I fill it in with to get to 20

[sleek garnet]

Cosmic cyclones

And either the barian RUM or the pk RUM

[deep mesa]

I don't think I have either of those yet

[sleek garnet]

How many box chips do you have?

[deep mesa]

28

[sleek garnet]

You can spend 100 of those for a cyclone, which is the best card you can use those in

The tachyon of galaxy bundle gets you 100 for 750 gems

If you like the box enough it might be worth considering

As for the RUMs

The phantom knights one is in a 950 gem bundle

[deep mesa]

The box kinds sucks

[sleek garnet]

The barian one is in a mini box as an R

[sleek garnet]

That's fine, you can get chips via events

[deep mesa]

Ok

[sleek garnet]

The zexal characters all give 10 at level 36

You can get those while leveling them up for gems

Also

If you grab the barian rank up magic

You still have your limited 1 slot

You could use allure of darkness, which is also in a bundle

[deep mesa]

Yea I only got limited barian

[sleek garnet]

Yea you can use that

Along with ult leo ray

And 1 leo arms

As for the extra deck

The best configuration should be about 1 revolution falcon, 2 rise falcon, 1 force strix, 1 ult leo, 1 leo arms, satellite cannon falcon, and 1 evilswarm nightmare

Also

Old boxes are at half of their price currently, if i'm not mistaken

[deep mesa]

Ur not

[sleek garnet]

You could get swallow's nest and d.d. crow

Crow is one of the best generic cards in the game currently

[deep mesa]

I stopped going for skip force to try and pull predaplants bc of it

[sleek garnet]

Also forbidden lance is a very good option to grab

[deep mesa]

Isn't that a ur

[sleek garnet]

It is

Not mandatory persay but a good card to have

[deep mesa]

I've never made a deck this way

I usually just look up the characters deck profile from the anime and go from there

Shays was pretty good he rarely lost

[sleek garnet]

Anime decks generally did not have to worry about consistently dealing with disruption during their turn

[deep mesa]

True

[sleek garnet]

So their performance might differ slightly from the anime

[deep mesa]

Yeah

I think the worst to go up against are the ancient warriors

And those decks that just stall and destroy yours with like warm worm and cards like that

[sleek garnet]

Those generally only exist at low ranks

[deep mesa]

How do u rank up anyway

Cuz I only get the rank up matches every now and then

[sleek garnet]

Win more duels than you lose

[deep mesa]

Oh ok

My highest so far is gold 4

[sleek garnet]

Think of it like a point system

Winning gives you a point

[deep mesa]

Ok

[sleek garnet]

Losing loses a point

You need about 5 points to get a rank up match in gold rank

[deep mesa]

Which is why win streaks are important

[sleek garnet]

The only exception to that system is going from legend 5 to king of games

[quick axle]

Wasn't like 3 duels in Gold Rank?

[sleek garnet]

I dont exactly remember

[quick axle]

I remember it was 3 for Gold, 4 for Platinum.

[deep mesa]

I honestly don't think I could ever reach king of games

[sleek garnet]

To get KoG you need 5 wins in a row

[quick axle]

Legend is 5 duels, and from Leg 5 to KoG, you need to do that.

[sleek garnet]

Also

Duellinksmeta is good resource to see what people use in high ladder and tournaments

[deep mesa]

Is it all tenyi cards

I see alot of those

[sleek garnet]

Not all of them

Tenyi is the second best deck at the moment

[deep mesa]

What's the first

[deep mesa]

Galaxy eyes?

[sleek garnet]

Around this

[deep mesa]

Dam

The cards I use are probably down at the bottom

[quick axle]

Mayakashi got a Pick-Up Box recently.

But to get the best deck around... you need to fork up the cash for those sweet Forbidden Droplets.

[sleek garnet]

Mayakashi's strength mostly comes from forbidden droplet which most decks dont have access to, yes

[quick axle]

And I don't suggest that.

For a starting player.

[sleek garnet]

Tenyi is like

Both very cheap and very popular

So people naturally gravitate towards it

[quick axle]

Don't be surprised if they get hit this month post-KC Cup.

[deep mesa]

Oh right that comes out soon

[sleek garnet]

Yes

A banlist comes almost always a week after the cup ends

Although raidraptors aren't in a power level high enough to get hit

[quick axle]

I wouldn't suggest investing in Tenyi anyways, since the KC Cup is almost around the corner.

And they'll probably get hit.

[deep mesa]

Neither are lunalights,ojamas or frighfurs

[deep mesa]

I don't really like them

[quick axle]

Lunalight could be a force in the KC Cup.

Since they're an unga bunga beatdown deck concentrated in getting quick wins.

[deep mesa]

Oh abyss actors too

I use those ones

[quick axle]

@sleek garnet Do you think that Lunalights will perform well in this KC Cup?

[sleek garnet]

No

Deck has very bad matchups across the board

[quick axle]

I don't say this in a meta sense, but because they're mostly an OTK deck.

They don't have a place in a common meta ground, but in the KC Cup, where there's no side deck...

[sleek garnet]

I dont think they can do it reliably, is the issue

[quick axle]

And they got a Marten back fully.

[sleek garnet]

Decks like tenyi are very hard to break

[deep mesa]

If u had dimensional fissure u might be able to break it

Don't they all rely on being able to bring them back from the graveyard

[sleek garnet]

Vishuda would just bounce it back

[quick axle]

Lunalight also has the issue that, when going first, they remain mostly as sitting ducks.

[deep mesa]

Necrovalley could do it

[sleek garnet]

Same issue

[quick axle]

Vishuda can activate from hand.

[deep mesa]

Effect veiler?

[sleek garnet]

Cant use it

[deep mesa]

Dam

Seems tough to beat

[sleek garnet]

Berserker as well is very hard for lunalight to out in engine

[deep mesa]

Is that only for spells and traps or can it work on monsters

[sleek garnet]

Any card

[deep mesa]

Well I mean Leo dancer can't be targeted or destroyed by effects

[quick axle]

Which means squat if they have non-targeting removal.

That doesn't destroy.

[sleek garnet]

Problem is getting to leo

[deep mesa]

Fusion parasite,lunalight fusion and a couple lunalight monsters

Or necro fusion

[sleek garnet]

They dont need necrofusion

[lunalight wolf] does the same

[vivid wave]

Lunalight Wolf

Level: 6 | Pendulum Scale: 1
[ Beast-Warrior / Pendulum / Effect ]

ATK 2000 / DEF 1800

Pendulum Effect

You cannot Pendulum Summon monsters, except "Lunalight" monsters. This effect cannot be negated. Once per turn: You can Fusion Summon 1 "Lunalight" Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, by banishing Fusion Materials listed on it from your field or Graveyard.

Effect

If a "Lunalight" monster you control attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing battle damage to your opponent.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[sleek garnet]

But even then

[deep mesa]

Soo Is the tenyi deck basically unstoppable?

[sleek garnet]

Tenyi can simply use nahata to out leo

[sleek garnet]

No

The deck has chokepoints

[deep mesa]

But if they can shutdown almost anything whats its weakness

Meklords?

[sleek garnet]

Berserker of the tenyi is an effect monster

[deep mesa]

It's a non effect monster

I think

[sleek garnet]

[berserker of the tenyi]
