I have 10 Boxes to go...

[pastel lotus]

ash blossom leaked

[white stirrup]

Ew

[pastel lotus]

[negate attack] was in dm mokuba's deck for years

[vivid wave]

Negate Attack

Effect

When an opponent's monster declares an attack: Target the attacking monster; negate the attack, then end the Battle Phase.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG/MD)

[pastel lotus]

it does require attack declaration

another stall/burn tool

reading updates, they are listing affecting your opponent's getting coin flip heads effect 100% as a glitch

regardless, nurse's costless continous effect, add a lower lp setting and them not adjusting heal amounts can only lead to this outcome

[quick axle]

https://www.duellinksmeta.com/articles/news/balance-update/may-13-2024/

Darklord Nurse Reficule and Smoke Grenade of the Thief banned.

This screams an emergency banlist.

Probably releasing [The Paths of Destiny] was such a bad idea, eh, Konami?

[vivid wave]

The Paths of Destiny

Effect

Both players toss a coin once. If a player's result is Heads, they gain 2000 Life Points, and if their result is Tails, they take 2000 damage.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG/MD)

[quick axle]

As for Grenade, it seems to suggest a preemptive ban for Infernoble support.

[dapper grotto]

Pretty sure releasing Nurse was the mistake, not Path. 🤣

[quick axle]

I know, but Paths exacerbated the problem, so...

[dapper grotto]

Because of the bug iirc

[quick axle]

Not accounting for Nurse was stupid.

[dapper grotto]

Yikes.

[quick axle]

Which was the bug?

Sorry, I don't play DL a lot.

[dapper grotto]

When you use Path of Destiny with Sartorius' Master of Destiny skill, your opponent is guaranteed heads, despite the skill only allowing you the player guaranteed heads I think.

https://youtu.be/9T-bNuv027Y?si=SJZaFmZHUmxQxKyv

I think this video sums it up well.

[quick axle]

Oof...

So now they realized that releasing Nurse was a [Mistake].

[vivid wave]

Mistake

Effect

Neither player can add cards from their Deck to their hand except by drawing them.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG/MD)

[dapper grotto]

Our small amount of LP was too good for Nurse Burn to pass up unless they halve the amount of LP gain from cards as well.

[pastel lotus]

yes i already mentioned this topic already a few days back

no cards before had both sides do a coin toss during the same step in the chain

path will be limit 1, nurse banned, and skills reprogrammed to affect only the outcomes of one the one tied to the skill

they don't want easy non battle-phase dependant methods of wins to remain available for long

name 1 time komoney was ever smart

don't mention the zexal burn reduction

[quick axle]

Uhhh... The first two have happened.

[pastel lotus]

not until next maintenence

[quick axle]

I still count it as "already happened". The announcement is to get prepared.

[pastel lotus]

i don't consider an announcement the same as execution of said intentions

its basically the same as telling nurse burn players "your trial release period is running out"

[pastel lotus]

its always been one oversight after another

star blast was another for being an adjustable lp reducer

which made a high pay-off skill too easy to access and due to skill edicts not being able to be overturned...

its always the pattern of new cards making a ruckus with older skills which has either less stringent effect text or unassessed designed quirks

also duel standby being used with amano-iwato

[white stirrup]

That's probably because it's your Card. So the Skill Activates because you technicly flip the Coin

[frigid kiln]

Hey can someone say if my ancient gear deck Is good or not

?

That's mine
1 Copie of each Fusion Monster should be enough
Megaton floats in to Ultimate and he floats in to Golem
So you don't need 3 Golems but just 1

[robust void]

wait they released reticule without realizing they hadn't nerfed LP gains

fire everyone at konami wtf

possible scrub confession but I hate playing against speedroids in DL it feels like I can't stop them

[frigid kiln]

You using crowler or new guy?

[white stirrup]

Crowler
Dennis doesn't have the Skills so I have a different version for him that focuses more on Xyz summoning

[frigid kiln]

Can u send me the link for this

Pls

Wait how did you get the 3 bird things

The wyverns

[white stirrup]

that's the one for Dennis that I use https://duellinks.konami.net/att/00946e9787a7b5b17a517b42ed9e0d4eb881af521e

[white stirrup]

They are from the Structure Deck

[frigid kiln]

I can only get 1

[white stirrup]

They probably put it in to a New Box with some new Ancient Gear Cards

[quick axle]

So you can see the reasoning.

[quick axle]

Eeyup. Releasing Reficule was a mistake.

[pastel lotus]

its true dennis doesn't actually do anything for antique gears, he simply calls out their names

its a decent auto duel deck at least

maybe he will eventually get a antique gear related skill via an arc-v duelist road event

trapeze magician's gimmick is being a damage floodgate, being especially more effective with attack boosts

[dapper grotto]

I wish we got his LP boost x4 skill as an archive skill so I could use it to auto duel with all my characters. 😭

[timber river]

https://www.duellinksmeta.com/articles/sets/steel-kaleidomirror

[robust void]

yep

[quick axle]

Only 1 Romanpick, limiting cards without a good reason...

[quick axle]

@robust void Seriously, it feels like not even Konami playtest these things well, and they're overhitting stuff without any discernible reason.

[vital scroll]

I don't understand this, I did this like 3 times and it didn't count

@hybrid hatch

[hybrid hatch]

Yo

Isn’t that

[vital scroll]

this is what I meant

[hybrid hatch]

When you

Just got gotta get to a low life poijt amount

Then win

[vital scroll]

yeah, I won when my lp was at 2200

[hybrid hatch]

Not low enough

[robust void]

win in 1 turn when your lp are lower than opponents at turn start

[hybrid hatch]

Yea

[vital scroll]

then at which lp must I win

[hybrid hatch]

What deck you run

[hybrid hatch]

Just lower

Then him

[robust void]

solfachord

[hybrid hatch]

And in one turn

[hybrid hatch]

Is galaxy eyes still any goodp#

[vital scroll]

must it be lower than 2200 lp?

[robust void]

i think its supposed to be decent

[hybrid hatch]

I remeber like the black rose dragon deck was tier 1 when the support dropped

Is it still good?

And DDD

[vital scroll]

I still use old harpy meta

[hybrid hatch]

Oh what about phanthom knights

[vital scroll]

I start, skip a turn, take damage and just win, but it won't count

it's either quick victory or duel victory

[hybrid hatch]

Don’t skip the turj then maybe

[vital scroll]

every video does that

[hybrid hatch]

Oh word

[vital scroll]

and it doesn't matter

[hybrid hatch]

Do u finish off all his life points in one turn

[vital scroll]

best I could was making him stay at 100 lp

[hybrid hatch]

I think you gotta OTK

[vital scroll]

but I can do this with my harpy deck

[hybrid hatch]

To complete it

[vital scroll]

this is the only way I can do it

I'm still surprised it didn't get nerfed after 2 years

tbh, I got Sera through the character ticket

[vital scroll]

must it be at my turn?

at last

[white stirrup]

If yoir oppomemt has 4000 for example you need to have 3900 and then win in your turn

[sleek garnet]

I think it's very much intentional

Psychics are by far one of the most explosive deck in rush, specially earlier on

Even if they wouldnt be top tier, i suspect they dont want an high roll otk deck run around unchecked

[hazy crow]

Are we getting more inferknobles or psyframe due to banning of smoke grenade?

Also, limiting Divine Punishment lol. It's sad for Parshath users kek. Not enough counter Traps and here we have a limitation to one of their key ctrap.

[quick axle]

Not only that, but Light of Judgment.

[quick axle]

We don't know, but it seems likely that it's Infernobles.

Since King Charles abused it.

[sleek garnet]

Psychics get hit on the rush banlist! Again!

[quick axle]

Seriously, Konami, what the french toast?

[white stirrup]

Next Boy are Ancient Gears
I can smell the Ancient Rust

[robust void]

they do allow high roll otk decks, they just can't be psychics

[white stirrup]

Dragons need all the support cards they can get though
It's a weak Deck after all...

[sleek garnet]

You joke but like

Right now? Yea dragons (as a deck) kinda suck

[robust void]

good

they can take a year off

lol no one even cares

[sleek garnet]

Yea these are automated and DLM doesnt have enough rush data to make it accurate

[robust void]

is interest in rush DL really so low

apparently there's still an audience for the main game

[sleek garnet]

No

Its just that most content is unaffiliated with DLM

Like jp/latam sites and the like

[robust void]

they should change their algorithm to default to secondary sources if there's info lacking

[sleek garnet]

No demand for it to justify the trouble

[dry widget]

this hit doesn't affect psychics, they don't have anything lim 3

i think they just want to avoid a goodstuff deck that's using maginical miracle's newfound 30 card consistency to get some free reborns in

[sleek garnet]

Probably

I guess it makes them unable to run stuff like call of the earthbound tho

[dry widget]

unfortunately even on release call was never all that good, though i sure tried to play with it

one of a few cards that really has no reason to be on the very aggressive lim 3 list

[sleek garnet]

Can we pls take out ace breaker

Why is semeruler there too

[dry widget]

literally who is afraid of trike fox

and city nights + dragias isnt even good

[sleek garnet]

Who would splash yggdrago?

[dry widget]

or supreme machine at that

[sleek garnet]

I was legit shocked they had (mistakenly) limited metagias

[dry widget]

im very surprised it was a mistake
(probably they had it actually limited originally but changed their mind sometime before release, but the earlier version got into the announcement)

but i guess maybe they can let dragons have a nice thing just this once

[sleek garnet]

It didnt seem out of their MO at all, yea

[dry widget]

spell tactics limited is... im unsure how to feel about it

because right now the card has no home at all, it's completely unplayable

but i absolutely prefer the world with spell tactics unusable to the one where it's unlimited

[sleek garnet]

Btw rawr

How do you feel about the format rn?

[dry widget]

i havent played dl rush in a while, i tried to climb ladder in the current format but gave up fast, it's boring
im so tired of seeing harpie
im just happy for a change

[sleek garnet]

Same

Deck's just so passive

[dry widget]

it's interesting that tribute lock is our first meaningful on-summon trap in rush, thatll change the dynamic of the format a lot

also chaos femtron is a shocking release, that card is an insane boost to my deck of choice, thats huge!
definitely gonna be doing some climbing once that comes out

im scared of torero leaked in the selection box

and it sucks that such an oppressive card is in the selection box

but yknow, standard duel links stuff

selection box hasnt been announced yet, so hopefully torero will be limited on release

would slot quite nicely onto the lim 3 list

torero unlimited would be... horrible

[sleek garnet]

I wonder when asana will come out

Most of the stuff in the new box are from the goha tournament arc

[hazy crow]

snek mirror match #DuelReplay #DuelLinks
https://duellinks.konami.net/att/06109ed50c3d225d80c457549a71d38602cccc7625

Wrong choice to snake rain kek.

[robust void]

still waiting for them to realize 6k LP in rush doesn't work

it's never gonna happen tho

any slight luck ends a duel more times than good plays

[pastel lotus]

so ash blossom and ghost ogre were actually additions for (npc) tour guide's deck

[white stirrup]

That's just Speed in a Nutshell though no?
4k LP ain't much better for regular play

[hazy crow]

snek vs egirl magician. #DuelReplay #DuelLinks
https://duellinks.konami.net/att/076d3b115ffeb3343be9c077d8282659abcdd501dd

[robust void]

I wouldn't characterize them the same because it's harder to stack a bunch of bodies and backrow interactions are more impactful. in speed if you open a bad ratio of monsters to backrow you can survive at least a turn but in rush it often means you're dead because backrow is almost never a 1 for 1 trade

[hazy crow]

Yes pls draw your Reficule hahahaha. #DuelReplay #DuelLinks
https://duellinks.konami.net/att/0096cba15c1a1dc6044c39469b126fae8f1a5e84a4

I don't play Rush format here because of how slow that shiat is. The format is hella slow and the player "thinks" too much. What a perfect combo.

Also, im skipping theTag Event. If Rush isn't the first in the event I would've participated.

[dry widget]

???
they limited sparkhearts girl and not torero??????

[sleek garnet]

Yay

[dry widget]

good start to living in torero's world

[sleek garnet]

Do i reset now?

I kinda want the overrush rares

[dry widget]

if you're not willing to spend the entire 7k on maxing the box, then probably for the best to reset to guarantee another torero yeah

[mighty bramble]

Potentially dumb question but what’s a key box for Raidraptors

[sleek garnet]

Raiders requiem

[dry widget]

also sweet, the new rush structure deck includes sanctity, curtain of sparks, torna! so f2p can now get all the structure deck staples!~

raider's requiem is the main one yeah, for tribute lanius mostly

[sleek garnet]

God i really want to whale for the ORRs

[dry widget]

(though theres a few others in there)

too bad theres no orr yggdrago!

not much my cyberse deck can use in there

but yeah they're pretty sweet

[sleek garnet]

FUCK IT WE BALL

I'll just do 2 runs tho

Dont think i need the 3rd orr sevens road

[sleek garnet]

Can we talk about the elephant in the room tho

What is dragon's inferno doing in the blue eyes sd?

[dry widget]

eh, just filler
technically speaking there's precedent, older speed duel structure decks also had f2p cards in them when the cardpool was still small, rush is the same

it also makes it easier for players to get into rush by buying the structure deck without needing to spend time grinding to max luke

theyre definitely trying to make rush accessible

[timber river]

ayyy

[sleek garnet]

I'm so jealous dude

[timber river]

damn im on a roll today

[sleek garnet]

Broooooooooo

How

[mighty bramble]

Not a bad multi methinks

[young viper]

If you could pick any 3 characters you would want to take to the Duel Links World Championships, what would they be?

For me, they would be Jack Atlas, Jaden/Yubel, and Soulburner.

With Jack using Resonator, Jaden using HERO, and Soulburner using Salamangreat.

[dry widget]

alright, got from rush bronze to gold today, maybe climbing to kog tomorrow!
cant afford both the selection box and the mini, so no climbing with cyberse yet... but torero's been destroying harpie still so thats satisfying!

[sleek garnet]

Rate my metarion deck

[robust void]

so how shit is the new maximum

[timber river]

It's the worst Maximum we've gotten yet, but a Maximum is a Maximum

you gotta have the out or you're gonna lose

[robust void]

so it's not unplayable on ladder or anything it just needs luck?

I think the art is cool so I want to try it

[dapper grotto]

Wait, new maximum??

Ohhh. The Dino one.

Yeah, IDC. It's okay.

[sleek garnet]

Problem with dynamix is that it doesnt really mix well with the rest of the dinos tbh

[robust void]

how ironic....

[dry widget]

dynamix is the best of the maximums in a vacuum
but it doesn't really have good support, when ygg and supreme machine have skills that set them up and competent decks surrounding them

and there's no good generic maximum support yet either to compensate like there was irl

[sleek garnet]

heavenly invitation was leaked a while back was it not?

[dry widget]

it's an npc card just like ash blossom

[sleek garnet]

i see

[robust void]

why did they not give it a skill lol

[dry widget]

maybe hunt is the next character unlock, he'll come with greedizauls and a dynamix skill?

[agile bone]

I wish, but if he were he a) wouldn't be before Asana, and b) they'd have debuted him with Dynamix.

[white stirrup]

So
Does that mean Guide could be playable soonish?

[pastel lotus]

no

you're strongly projecting your desires tho

she's not from a show and she has no quotations she can rattle off of mid-duel

[sleek garnet]

https://yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/Ms._Guide_(manga)

[pastel lotus]

that's not a show

i don't see how this invalidates my points in the slightest

name one time dl referenced the events of the ocg structure manga

[sleek garnet]

The road duelists are from the saikyo card battle game which shares the universe with ocg structures

Also, dm and dsod follow the manga canon, dsod itself is a movie

Worlds dont need to be necessarely based on a show

[pastel lotus]

she and vagabond both fall into the territory of existing in the game yet not confined to a show world

[robust void]

no ones forcing them to not be able to write original voice lines

[sleek garnet]

Which they did for existing characters, constantly

See: every character with voice lines for post show support, kalin having a line with trishula

[robust void]

btw choccy did you need my code or was it just for that other guide

guy

[sleek garnet]

I did

[robust void]

lmao

[sleek garnet]

For the other guy

[robust void]

ok let me send in a sec

oh

i dmed him mine

[sleek garnet]

Thanks

[robust void]

didnt get a response tho hopefully he used it

[sleek garnet]

Btw noah

[robust void]

are thunders still good btw they seem really solid

[sleek garnet]

They're alright

Can KoG with them relatively easily

[robust void]

[sleek garnet]

Oh yea

What do you think of the new stuff?

[pastel lotus]

she don't have taunts which every playables does she has voicelines for cards and performing in-game actions yes but nothing else

0also which world splashable page would she be accessable from if included, dialogue review page list her convos as (all)

[sleek garnet]

That's just due to her lines not being recorded because she's not playable (yet)

It doesn't prove that she will never be playable

[pastel lotus]

it ultimately up to konami

[sleek garnet]

As always

[pastel lotus]

just because she was a secret teammate in TT after 19 iterations of it doesn't mean it will lead to her getting a promotion as a roster playable

[sleek garnet]

Anyway

I wonder how good the new box will be

The agent skill is insanely pushed

[robust void]

I'm still looking through the new rush stuff. I haven't been playing so I've fallen behind in gems again and can't just get 3 ofs right away le sigh

if the psychic spell wasn't limited 1 I'd say they'd be at least playable now but uh

I'm curious about the warrior and winged beast stuff too

[vital scroll]

guys, if I wanna remake mokuba's deck in duel links, which cards should I use?

[robust void]

uhhh what deck

he barely played iirc

[vital scroll]

idk, just looking to make a deck for him

[white stirrup]

That's one that I use for him
I rather focused on Monsters he probably would play instead of Monsters he did play since they never made a Skill for his Normal Monsters sadly
https://duellinks.konami.net/att/07f1baaee72ba49f48356c30ca43c86eb17e6a4b64

[sleek garnet]

Depends on if its DM mokuba or DSoD mokuba

Since duel links tied DSoD mokuba to thunder dragons so you can just play those

[white stirrup]

Oh wait I am stupid
I thought about Bakura

🤣

Also yeah Thunder Dragons or Blue Eyes
I think he also has some Gem Dragons but eh not really smth you can do anything with really

[robust void]

is this destiny @sleek garnet

[sleek garnet]

Mayhaps

[robust void]

what's your take on the best legend trap to run now

wow that was my 300th prism too

[dry widget]

dang, the rush dream ticket doesnt go very far huh?
only the main box, first mini, and first 2 structures are in there

i guess... the grab is either voltcondor or crested hawk? not sure which one is better to get, can't complete that structure regardless

oh right, the skill's bonus effect only works if you have voltcondor specifically
so i guess that one

[sleek garnet]

Negate attack is probably the better one

Can deal with maximums + keeps your whole board safe

[quick axle]

Alright, I have options for the 100th Legendary Duelists UR Dream Ticket.

Probably I'll pick Dingirsu.

[sleek garnet]

Widespread theoreically gives you a bigger tempo swing but negate attack makes your crackback a lot better

But that's just talking about ladder

In bo3 it depends heavily on matchups

Widespread is better in the royal rebels matchup, for example

[dapper grotto]

I'm glad I can finally get a 2nd Kuribot.

I can always get my 2nd Dragias from that Deck Build Pack.

[sleek garnet]

i got raidacross

[charred aspen]

scariest sight in duel links

oh wait they dont have a skill

tf

[quick axle]

Duel, standby! PTSD.

I really don't blame you.

[charred aspen]

i think theyre just throwing

when they had to discard for hand limit they sent petit angel

[charred aspen]

not even that, tea is just the poster child for jank

really anyone without an extra deck is scary

[robust void]

yeah I have to say I think negate attack is better esp considering that you're within death from one bad turn

also I dropped some cash on pulls and got alt art prima guitarna

which was exciting

until I realized I use a skill playing her from outside my deck

[charred aspen]

is there any way to get ante other than getting the paradox brothers to level 38

[sleek garnet]

No you dont

Get ready to amp up doesnt create prima guitarna from outside the deck

[robust void]

oh right that's esperade

[vital scroll]

like this?

[vital scroll]

the pain

[pastel lotus]

you don't have char tickets?

[vital scroll]

nope D:

I can still get the one from the friend invite

I can only do this one, but idk how

[pastel lotus]

you make sure the l piece r piece and "center" are in your hand

[vital scroll]

how must I do that

[pastel lotus]

its basically lesser exodia

draw or search

[vital scroll]

I never played exodia

I can try to do the missions

[pastel lotus]

i don't think rd has a lot of search effects rn

[vital scroll]

I can try to do exodia?

[pastel lotus]

rd has no end of turn forced discard

[vital scroll]

so what's left then?

waiting when they drop a new char ticket?

[pastel lotus]

extra veiler prevents one turn of trickstar burn yes?

[vital scroll]

I don't know

[pastel lotus]

then you don't got to answer

[white stirrup]

...90% of the cards aren't even in DL and it baerly scraps the surface of being a Thunder Dragon Deck with like 5 Monsters from them lol

[vital scroll]

what cards should I put in thunder dragon then?

[vital scroll]

does this work?

[dapper grotto]

Thundras play so dramatically differently compared to the TCG though.

No Thundra Fusions is a good factor to it too.

https://www.duellinksmeta.com/top-decks/king-of-games/april-2024/thunder-dragons/campeoxy/kpHpp

Here's the most recent list I could find of Thundras.

[white stirrup]

Are you playing Duel Lonks or Master Duel?

[vital scroll]

dl, why else am I asking it in the dl channel?

[white stirrup]

Vause you put shit up that has no buiseness being in DL that's why

Horus and Beastials
Dragon Maids
All of them aren't even in the Game

[vital scroll]

I haven't played for 2 years

[vital scroll]

then what cards do I need to add?

[vital scroll]

I don't think I have most of these cards

but 57k gems?! man

[vital scroll]

what kind of deck should I make for yami yugi/yugi moto?

[dapper grotto]

Battle Chronicle Blue-eyes.

Tbh, Dark Magician and their other decks haven't been doing all that well for a long while, but it's at least a decently fun deck.

[vital scroll]

where is that deck?

since when does yugi play blue eyes

[sleek garnet]

Tecnically he does in some filler arcs

[vital scroll]

should I do the same deck for seto as well?

[vital scroll]

what about tea? what kind of deck fits her?

[sleek garnet]

DSoD associated her with witchcrafters

[vital scroll]

weevil underwood?

[dapper grotto]

This is a f2p version

[vital scroll]

what for deck fits weevil underwood?

like this? if so, which cards are where?

[dapper grotto]

Unfortunately, you're better off not caring about Weevil. He hasn't been good in the history of Duel Links. 😔

Search up some cards on Duel Links Meta. If they don't have a Rarity symbol on the top right of the card, it means it's not in the game yet.

[vital scroll]

but how must I know in which box it is?

[dapper grotto]

It'll say in its description if you click on the card.

[vital scroll]

it says bio-insect monster is in duel links, but not how to get it

[dapper grotto]

No, it isn't. Like I said, if there's no Rarity symbol on the top right, it's not in the game.

[vital scroll]

well, found already 5 cards that isn't in it

1. bio-insect monster
2. danger! mothman
3. oily cicade
4. parasite paracide
5. parasite paranoid

[timber river]

Call an Ambulance! Call an Ambulance!

But not for me

[white stirrup]

Thunder Dragons with the Level 5 Reload is silly

[vital scroll]

I lost, bc dude had mirror force, I hate it

[quick axle]

Mirror Force... and the worst part? It's a fringe card, kinda rare to see.

[white stirrup]

"Good ol Mirror Force.
Nothing beats that."

[vital scroll]

I still see it in blue eyes and dark magician deck

[vital scroll]

cosmic cycle:

[quick axle]

In which rank are you in Ranked?

[vital scroll]

reached silver since yesterday

still seeing cyber and photon as well

[quick axle]

Hmm... then it doesn't surprise me.

[vital scroll]

they are supposed to be higher

bro had one face down card yet didn't active it

is this deck even good?

[quick axle]

Ehhh...

Unoptimized as heck.

Also... Dragunity is fringe nowadays.

It's an OTK deck, and being awful going first, that's a death sentence.

Because your opponent can build interruptions.

[vital scroll]

is that why it's in silver?

[quick axle]

Silver ranks aren't a lot to talk about. Try asking the same question when you're in the Legend rank.

[vital scroll]

pfft, I can't reach legend rank with harpy

bc when I try to get silver rank 2, I lose at the second round

[quick axle]

Harpies aren't great nowadays, sadly.

They've been severely power crept.

[vital scroll]

meh, it still works

as long as people don't use mirror force, I'm good

and if I got a good hand

[quick axle]

You'll find that there's worse things to find out than Mirror Force, the higher you get in the totem pole.

[vital scroll]

oh, I've seen some decks, like sky striker

I even found a legend reply with someone using phantom knights

like, how can phantoms knights go that far?

[sleek garnet]

phantom knights are currently the best deck in duel links right now

[quick axle]

They recently got some new upgrades.

A new skill and new cards.

@sleek garnet Hopefully I have given a decent assessment of the decks he found out in Silver, and what's the state of affairs.

Even not having played myself.

[sleek garnet]

Yea

[vital scroll]

and I haven't seem them yet, but I also got the deck irl

[quick axle]

Meta decks aren't so often found on lower ranked levels.

[frail basin]

Hello everyone im new to this server

[mighty bramble]

I’ve been using my regular tickets on getting Hat Tricker since I got none during the last event

[frail basin]

Would anyone like to duel?

If so my name is - DontEffectMe

[quick axle]

@frail basin Is this in Duel Links?

[frail basin]

Yes it is 🙂

I have the dragon icon

330-338-810 <-- Duelist ID

[pastel lotus]

the funny thing about dsod is almost no one from it dueled except for yugi, kaiba, aigami, and the yami yugi replica, and even then only aigami was strictly archetypal yugi and kaiba's were somewhat mishmash-y

so deck authenticity almost doesn't matter if playing someone not of the above 3

i still can't work out which of dsod's mokuba's skills are somewhat good besides his abayo skill

also which decks can really like playing with macro cosmos active? td? ritual beasts, metaphys?

[hazy crow]

We don't have Macro Cosmos iirc. But yeah we have Dimensional Fissure.

I have key cards for Ritual Beast but needs more copy kek. And I don't really get how to Ritual Beast but I do know it uses most of your time hahahaha.

We need more Wyrm support for Metaphys to actually work. This means that Yang Zing will rise with it

[mighty bramble]

Who’s the next character

[timber river]

People are thinking it'll be Specter from Vrains

[agile bone]

It's almost definitely Spectre.

Given the rewards stated to be in.

[vital scroll]

ofc I didn't get D.D. crow

[carmine ivy]

Direct-u attack-u DES!

[quick axle]

Eeyup.

[vital scroll]

bro goes full deck

[vital scroll]

almost

bro, I am wasting my keys to do a comeback victory

[vital scroll]

for which one should I go first?

[quick axle]

You have a character ticket unlock, right?

Just use a character ticket unlock to get Zane.

[vital scroll]

I got no char tickets anymore

[quick axle]

OK. In which characters did you use those?

Zane's unlock missions require unlocking other characters.

I think you have to unlock Syrus and Jesse?

[vital scroll]

uhh, gramps from first duel world, bastion, yugi from dsod, siera from dsod, luna, crow and aster phoenix

[vital scroll]

not with zane

idk who's zane even

[quick axle]

Blue hair, black jacket.

That's Jesse.

[vital scroll]

I got aster already, bc of the char ticket

[quick axle]

Yep. As you can see, his missions are more convoluted.

You also need Syrus and Jesse.

[vital scroll]

rip

for who should I go then?

[quick axle]

Whatever you want.

[vital scroll]

what's easier

I can try to get Jesse

maybe then that light blue hair guy

[vital scroll]

the rest are hard, I just wait till we get char tickets again, I hope we get them again or won't we get them anymore?

[vital scroll]

anyone willing to help me with the friend campaign? my invite code is 001c64545df3

[robust void]

I accidentally used my SR dream ticket on a generic SR ticker card because I didn't notice what it was

kill me

[vital scroll]

rip

[robust void]

you're a new player so you're supposed to input ours mine is 001abxxp1abw

[vital scroll]

oh-

where must I add you

[robust void]

yeah

[vital scroll]

where must I put the code

[robust void]

where it says enter the code

if you can't then you lost your window to do it

[vital scroll]

it's grey... I can't press it

so I'm too late?

[robust void]

yeah

other people can enter yours if you find new or returning players

[vital scroll]

if I redownload it, can I do it then?

[vital scroll]

also, do you think we can get char tickets again?

[robust void]

yeah we get them semi frequently

and no wrt redownloading

[vital scroll]

semi as in 1 time each month?

[robust void]

maybe bi monthly

[sleek garnet]

This list looks cool, will probably try it once i finish digging into the box

Skill is Set - Mighty Gaze of the Sky Emperor

[vital scroll]

wdym with bi montly?

[sleek garnet]

Every 2 months, basically

[robust void]

heyo theres a list for my boy

lmk how it goes

[sleek garnet]

Btw noah

[robust void]

im going to start with pure dinos for fun tho

[sleek garnet]

The skill isnt once per turn

[robust void]

wait wut

[sleek garnet]

You can keep setting gaze

[robust void]

?

[sleek garnet]

Forever

[robust void]

did they fuck up

[sleek garnet]

No

The card has a discard cost

So i assume its intentional

[robust void]

can we exploit this further

[vital scroll]

so next month we get one again or?

[robust void]

theres that stupid bird that discards spells lol

[sleek garnet]

It sets it to your field

Doesnt add it back

So idt you can do trick pigeon stuff

Also the requirement is having a level 10 maximum monster on the field

(but it doesnt need to be in maximum mode, just tribute summoning the middle piece works)

[vital scroll]

wait- how long ago did we get the last char tickets?

[sleek garnet]

Last thursday

But we will gets another one on the 23th

As part of the current campaign

[robust void]

that is very interesting

have you messed with psychics yet

[vital scroll]

I think I got that one and used it on yugi from dsod

[robust void]

ive just being doing super magnum turbo on ladder for cheap wins

im not sure why people arent using the machine mystic dealer more

im the only one ive seen

[sleek garnet]

Still digging in the selection box so i have only 1 copy of stuff from the kaleido box

[vital scroll]

might as well use the next one on the cube dude

[robust void]

yeah im basically there too

[sleek garnet]

Already got my playset of siesta so thats cool

[vital scroll]

all my current characters

[robust void]

can you rushpill me on this card btw. in the switch game it was total ass but the meta was different

[sleek garnet]

It can out basically half of the boss monster lineup by itself

Its also free recycling for decks that dont have easy access to it

It has less than 1400 atk so it doesnt conflict with skills that rely on that

[robust void]

but dosnt it have to be level 4 or lower? boss mons would be higher

oh im talking about siesta hold

siesta torero i can def see being good yeah

[sleek garnet]

Oh hold

Hold is ok

It can stop stuff like kuribot, sportsdragons, and seahorses

So it has some niches

[robust void]

i havent been seeing them too much but im sure theres still something

id prob run it just for the card economy anyway

[sleek garnet]

It can also stop stuff like essel and phaser

Its niche but torero can set it for free

So yknow

[vital scroll]

did you 2 got every character yet?

[sleek garnet]

I do, yes

[sleek garnet]

Altho if the opponent knows you're on hold the card instantly becomes a lot worse

[robust void]

yeah

[vital scroll]

was it a pain doing the challanges?

[robust void]

its hard to not get every char after a point cuz even if you sit an event out the next ticket arrives before a new char

[sleek garnet]

Not really

[vital scroll]

how

[robust void]

its definitely tedious

but not difficult

[sleek garnet]

My biggest hurdle was getting thunder giant for the syrus unlock

[vital scroll]

oh, this one is

[sleek garnet]

But that was it

[robust void]

where the Fuck is asana btw

[sleek garnet]

GOOD QUESTION ISNT IT

[vital scroll]

even the cube guy from dsod is hard to get

[robust void]

i need to see how they fuck me over with wyrms too

[vital scroll]

I think I focus on getting the right decks for the characters first, before unlocking the rest

[sleek garnet]

Build dragon limit 1 on release

[robust void]

i was gonna say, not release any level 7s lmao

[sleek garnet]

You only get the shitty field spell

[vital scroll]

is this a better idea? making the rightful decks and then unlocking the rest?

[sleek garnet]

At 1 copy as a lvl up reward

[robust void]

oh theyre def only giving us the shitty field spell at launch

hate to say it

on the bright side a skill for it is all but guaranteed

[sleek garnet]

I want snowscape so bad dude

[vital scroll]

wait- do you have every character?

[robust void]

yes

i said that

[vital scroll]

I wonder when dragonmaids get added

[sleek garnet]

Not really

[vital scroll]

why

[sleek garnet]

Most characters have their cards on boxes

[vital scroll]

yeah

[sleek garnet]

You would have to open every box in the game to get everything

Which is a terrible idea

[vital scroll]

but look at the one's I got already, and I only got a harpy deck

[robust void]

wait just to clarify which field spell are you calling the bad one

[sleek garnet]

Peaks of blisstopia

[vital scroll]

isn't this hard to get?

[sleek garnet]

The cherry blossom one

[sleek garnet]

Not really, no

[robust void]

ok good i had it right

[vital scroll]

well, the one's from GX are

[robust void]

holy crap they have 4 field spells now?

[sleek garnet]

Yea

One for every season

[vital scroll]

should I wait till we get a new set of char tickets and use them on the GX characters?

[sleek garnet]

Its cute

[sleek garnet]

Nah

[robust void]

that is cute

[vital scroll]

why not

[robust void]

tho perhaps do spring over

[sleek garnet]

The missions are not impossible to do

[vital scroll]

but hard

[robust void]

if you havent noticed level 10 opponents are extremely bad and you can fight them nigh infinitely

[vital scroll]

like yubels missions

[sleek garnet]

You dont need to do all the missions in 1 duel

You can do them one at a time

[vital scroll]

so you saying this isn't hard?

[robust void]

thats not hard

[sleek garnet]

What would be the hard one?

[vital scroll]

second one

[sleek garnet]

Use flame wingman

[vital scroll]

and the lvl 7 monster one

[robust void]

there are cards in the game that do that by themselves

[sleek garnet]

Level 7 one is like

Just synchro summon 3 times

[robust void]

the level 7 one at minimum just needs you passing turns until you tribute summon 3 times

[vital scroll]

bro- I use a harpy deck

[sleek garnet]

You have a synchro monster

Use that

[robust void]

yeah

or just slot random cards in for specific missions

[sleek garnet]

Return itself to the extra deck

[vital scroll]

that one isn't lvl 7-

[robust void]

dont use only one deck

its level 8

its higher

[sleek garnet]

7 or higher

It counts

[vital scroll]

nvm, 8

[vital scroll]

and how must I do that?

[sleek garnet]

[cyber slash harpie]

[vivid wave]

Cyber Slash Harpie Lady

Level: 8
[ Winged Beast / Synchro / Effect ]

ATK 2600 / DEF 1400

Effect

1 Tuner + 1+ non-Tuner monsters
For this card's Synchro Summon, you can treat 1 "Harpie" monster you control as a Tuner. This card's name becomes "Harpie Lady" while on the field or in the GY. When a Spell/Trap Card or effect is activated (except during the Damage Step) (Quick Effect): You can target 1 monster your opponent controls or 1 "Harpie" monster you control; return it to the hand. You can only use this effect of "Cyber Slash Harpie Lady" once per turn.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG/MD)

[vital scroll]

oh wait- so place a second one, use spell on one of those and do it again?

[sleek garnet]

You can do that

Or use the effect on itself

If you have only one

[vital scroll]

I use 2

but I need more spells

[sleek garnet]

Also you can like

Just add stuff like blue eyes to your deck

[vital scroll]

but how must I do the 2k one with harpies?

[sleek garnet]

Then take them out once you finish the mission

[sleek garnet]

Just summon [flame wingman]

[vivid wave]

Elemental HERO Flame Wingman

Level: 6
[ Warrior / Fusion / Effect ]

ATK 2100 / DEF 1200

Effect

"Elemental HERO Avian" + "Elemental HERO Burstinatrix"
Must be Fusion Summoned. When this card destroys a monster by battle and sends it to the GY: Inflict damage to your opponent equal to the ATK of the destroyed monster in the GY.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG/MD)

[robust void]

youre given flame wingman for free right

[sleek garnet]

Just make a new deck

Yes

[vital scroll]

I do have him

[sleek garnet]

Pretty sure

[vital scroll]

I think it's given in the deck

[sleek garnet]

Then you can like

Give him an equip spell

[vital scroll]

but how must I use the effect then

[sleek garnet]

Or use skyscraper

Just use what you have in your account

[vital scroll]

I got no skyscraper

[sleek garnet]

Wait for the cpu to summon a guy with 2k or more attack

[robust void]

can also equip to some cpu's monster close to it to make it a little stronger etc

oh wait that wouldnt work nvm

checks the attack stat in the gy

[vital scroll]

so it only works if a cpu got a monster with 2k or more?

[robust void]

yeah

[vital scroll]

yeah, that's a pain to find one

[robust void]

theres tons

[vital scroll]

the only one I can do is with forbidden charlice

[robust void]

you could also give them one with some cards

[vital scroll]

how

[sleek garnet]

[mystic box]

[vivid wave]

Mystic Box

Effect

Target 1 monster your opponent controls and 1 monster you control; destroy the first target, then give control of the second target to your opponent.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG/MD)

[sleek garnet]

This is from yami yugi's gate drops

So you can get it via tickets if you need to

[vital scroll]

I got 2

of those

but wingman got lower atk than cyber

[sleek garnet]

Skyscraper is also in the tickets

Just checked

Its also a level up reward from jaden

[vital scroll]

so explain to me how I must do it step for step so I can try it tomorrow, cuz I'm closing the pc now

[sleek garnet]

Ok so

Get any guy with 2000 or more attack on your field if it has 2300 atk or more you have to also have skyscraper on your field), then wait until you have mystic box, and a way to summon flame wingman, use mystic box, attack the monster you gave to crowler with flame wingman

[sleek garnet]

@robust void i got it wrong, set gaze skill is once per turn

[robust void]

noooo

do you think the skill is optimal for anyone now

[sleek garnet]

Dynamix still

The card cant innately deal with set 3 pass

Also you can like

Summon the middle piece, set gaze, discard 1 draw 1

So it turns your middle pieces into mystic dealers basically

[agile bone]

I imagine she's the next Rush character to be added.

[sleek garnet]

When you think about it

Sevens doesnt really have a lot of main characters left to add

You have Asana, Tiger, then you probably skip all the goha siblings not named Yuo and Yuga, and then Otes

Them turning Saburamen, Yoshio, and Sebastian into NPCs probably means people lile Yuka will also get the same treatment

[agile bone]

The Goha Six give them a good set of options to add in the future ala the Barian Emperors and Dark Signers

and honestly, Seatbastian has a decent chance of coming way down the line

(now if only they could drag Wayne back into the recording studio)

[robust void]

I really hope they break precedent and add some of the NPCs in as characters because the ones they chose make no sense. they're not insignificant and they need to draw content out

[hazy crow]

Its easy if you have vassal.

[hazy crow]

With Sunavalon, I think I might revive my Sylvan deck

[quick axle]

@hazy crow If only... Sylvan and Sunavalon don't mesh well with each other. It meshes better with Rikka, but it will depend if we get further Rikka support.

Sylvan would mill your Sunseed Genius Loci by accident.

[charred aspen]

lebron james, scream if you love burn

[vital scroll]

I can't do it without skycraper

[vital scroll]

and ofc I got no stardust

[timber river]

Once Jaden gets to Level 4 he gets a skill that lets you put Skyscraper in play

or you can levle him up to 35 to get a copy

[quick axle]

Yusei's intiial skill gives you a free Stardust Dragon.

No need to pull for one.

[vital scroll]

alright, I try those missions

might be a pain to do

[vital scroll]

but I still need to add a tuner in the harpie deck?

[quick axle]

For Stardust Dragon? Yes.

[vital scroll]

welp, this is gonna be a pain for me

tbh, they made it too hard to get characters

[vital scroll]

yeah, it's impossible for me

I just wait for the char tickets to drop

[vital scroll]

is it shooting star road?

[quick axle]

No.

Mark of the Dragon.

It should be the very first skill Yusei gets-

[vital scroll]

I didn't play for 2 years, so I forgot

[vital scroll]

my harpie deck got no lvl 5 monster in it :/

[quick axle]

Why would you need a Level 5 monster? You can add some other tuner, you know?

Any Level 4 Tuner should suffice (most of them).

[vital scroll]

that would be a total of 7, not 8

I literally have to change my whole harpie deck for this

[timber river]

Duel Links is a grind

[quick axle]

And not a good one IMHO.

Duel Links currently suffers from content bloat.

[vital scroll]

it's a total of 8, why can't I do it

[quick axle]

It says "1 Tuner".

[vital scroll]

..

wait- we get a new set of char tickets on the 23th, right?

[timber river]

[Blackwing Vayu]

[vivid wave]

Blackwing - Vayu the Emblem of Honor

Level: 1
[ Winged Beast / Tuner / Effect ]

ATK 800 / DEF 0

Effect

This face-up card on the field cannot be used as a Synchro Material. If this card is in the GY: You can target 1 non-Tuner "Blackwing" monster in your GY; banish both this card and that target, and if you do, Special Summon 1 "Blackwing" Synchro Monster from your Extra Deck whose Level equals the total Levels of the banished monsters, but its effects are negated.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG/MD)

[timber river]

also this

[pastel lotus]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-reading-funny-animals-reading-a-book-cats-gif-19258511

and that's why no one uses it

[sleek garnet]

Just ignore the fact that vayu turbo is the best deck in edison format rn

[quick axle]

Blackwings was a deck to be reckoned with back in the day

[vital scroll]

seems I didn't read the card though

[quick axle]

Typical YGO player problem. Don't worry, I don't blame you.

[vital scroll]

I rather read the cards during a duel then reading it while making the deck

[vital scroll]

wait- I wonder how many char tickets we get on the 23th

[sleek garnet]

1

Then the next should only be in september

[vital scroll]

ig also 1 then

[frail basin]

Hello everyone

Anyone up for a duel?

[vital scroll]

got her

[mighty bramble]

Raidraptors are fun actually

[robust void]

could you imagine if they were dumb enough to have already put cranked to ten in DL

[vital scroll]

not at all

[robust void]

@sleek garnet how do you feel about the meta atm? I wish maximums had more outs that encouraged good comboing rather than just having the right 1-of

[young viper]

I wonder, why do some characters not have voicelines for cards they have used (Jack’s for Twin Sword Marauder, Strong Wind Dragon, etc, as an example) yet have voicelines for cards they haven’t used (using Jack’s for Tuner’s High and Assault Slash, Teleport, Counter, and Revival, as an example), in the source material (Anime, Manga)?

[vital scroll]

is harpy still meta?

[robust void]

in rush yes

in speed no

[quick axle]

In Speed, Harpies have been power crept since awhile ago.

[vital scroll]

almost

[vital scroll]

gonna finish them tomorrow

[mighty bramble]

I fully admit this deck likely isn’t optimal but I have fun with and that’s all that matters right?

[pastel lotus]

me too

funny thing, i watched arc-v during its original run and i always thought [shuffle reborn] was a yuto card but wiki says it was a yuya card

[vivid wave]

Shuffle Reborn

Effect

If you control no monsters: Target 1 monster in your GY; Special Summon it, but it has its effects negated, also banish it during the End Phase. You can banish this card from your GY, then target 1 card you control; shuffle it into the Deck, then draw 1 card, also during the End Phase of this turn, banish 1 card from your hand. You can only use this effect of "Shuffle Reborn" once per turn.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG/MD)

[agile bone]

It is definitely a Yuya card.

[vital scroll]

got the last DSOD character!

[vital scroll]

if I'm not mistaken, tomorrow we get a char ticket, right?

[vital scroll]

man, I'm still not getting D.D. crow from the shining hopes pack

[charred aspen]

Thank God

Hated that shit when it was meta

[quick axle]

Now you have things like Blue-Eyes (again), Phanton Knights (again), Shaddolls...

[robust void]

harpies meta rocked

[vital scroll]

dark magician, proton, cyber

[quick axle]

Those aren't even meta, my dude.

[vital scroll]

that other one I forgot the name off

[quick axle]

If you're getting clapped hard, your deck isn't up to snuff.

[vital scroll]

I keep seeing a deck in legend

tbh, I reached 1 time gold with harpie

wait- you forgot nordic

[quick axle]

Gold... again, nothing to speak of.

[vital scroll]

oh yeah- altergeist

I keep seeing that deck in legend on street replay

[quick axle]

Don't speak about those as your own experiences.

[vital scroll]

also, don't forget about that sushi deck

[quick axle]

Make it to Legend yourself, and then we can talk.

Also, another thing.

[unreal barn]

Word lightbox

[quick axle]

There's viable decks in ladder, but that doesn't mean they're meta.

[vital scroll]

yeah, wish me luck getting legend with harpie

fartest I could get with that deck is gold

[quick axle]

Oh, how does your deck look?

Can I take a look?

[vital scroll]

still the same when I came back too 2 years later

[quick axle]

Your Xyz lineup can use some work.

[vital scroll]

yeah, auto duel use the dragon xyz

[quick axle]

Where's cards like Abyss Dweller?

[vital scroll]

not here

[quick axle]

Not in your collection, that much is obvious.

But there's cards that you can add to improve that Xyz lineup, since those cards you're using aren't too great to further your purposes.

[vital scroll]

what cards can I add?

[quick axle]

Evilswarm Exciton Knight, Abyss Dweller, Number 70: Malevolent Sin...

[vital scroll]

ra deck also in ladder appreantly

I only got the evilswarm

[quick axle]

Also, you could use more staples, like Book of Moon.

Or even Limit 3 cards, like Compulsory Evacuation Device or similar.

[vital scroll]

well, I got no compulsory

[quick axle]

And there's the crux of the problem with Duel Links.

[vital scroll]

but I do have book of moon

[quick axle]

How many?

[vital scroll]

1

[quick axle]

Oof...

That's often played at 3 copies.

[vital scroll]

oh well

[quick axle]

@unreal barn You can correct me if I'm wrong at what I have said so far.

[vital scroll]

I'm focusing on getting this now anyway

[quick axle]

Oof...

[vital scroll]

what?

I'm trying to get each character a decent deck

[quick axle]

I mean, the amount of investment you need to get that deck in a workable manner.

[vital scroll]

yeah, 28k

[quick axle]

Uhh... that's both a time sink and a money sink.

And resources are alwats limited and in short supply.

[vital scroll]

I'm only this far

and ik it's expensive, that's why I'm lvling up my current characters

[vital scroll]

that one trap card we hate, mirror force

[quick axle]

BTW, why aren't you playing Harpie's Hunting Ground?

Also, drop these:

• Hysteric Sign
• Hysteric Party
• Windstorm of Etaqua

And add at least another Elegant Egotist.

Also, why Forbidden Chalice? If you have Forbidden Lance, use it instead.

[vital scroll]

bc it's a skill card

I fear nothing

[quick axle]

Actually, you're wrong.

The card is available in the Blackstorm Rising box.

[vital scroll]

oh

[quick axle]

And you only need 1 copy, since Harpie Perfumer can search it.

And that card helps destroyying backrow, each time that a "Harpie Lady" or "Harpie Lady Sisters" is summoned.

[vital scroll]

I surrendered, bc stupid drowning mirror force

[vital scroll]

you mean remove them?

[quick axle]

As for the skill, try using Harpie's Last Will.

Yes.

[vital scroll]

you know only mai got harpie skills, right?

[quick axle]

That's the point.

[vital scroll]

if people see me using her, they know it's harpie

also why removing sign and party?

[quick axle]

Because they're pointless.

Party is too slow, and Sign without a way to destroy it, it's also pointless.

You can keep Etaqua for the time being.

[vital scroll]

also, I got no forbidden lance, so

[robust void]

sign without a way to destroy it isnt bad. you mainly run it to use 2+ elegant egotist a turn not for the other effect

[quick axle]

Ah, okay.

Then you can keep Sign, but replace Party for another Egotist.

You want to run more than 1.

[vital scroll]

there

also, why's bro using a 30 blue eyes card deck

[quick axle]

Gold player moment.

[vital scroll]

they are in silver 7

[quick axle]

Even worse.

[robust void]

https://www.duellinksmeta.com/top-decks/king-of-games/december-2023/harpies/deltatê/7FLZS

just use this

it looks good

remove one egotist for hysteric sign

[quick axle]

Oh, right, I forgot about Swallow's Nest.

[robust void]

use mai. your opponent knowing you're playing harpies doesn't matter. no one is going to/can play around harpies before youve played a monster (which signals you're playing harpies anyway)

[quick axle]

That one is also in the same box as Harpie's Hunting Ground.

[vital scroll]

that's the thing, if I use a different character with harpies, they don't know until I placed a harpie card

[vital scroll]

I believe he was about to rank up anyway

[vital scroll]

this will be a pain to get

[quick axle]

The invitational campaign would have been the easiest way to get it.

Since that gives you 3 free copies.

[vital scroll]

yeah, but I'm too late

should I try do to this?

[robust void]

it doesn't matter if they know you're playing harpies. you missed the other part of my message

[vital scroll]

yeah, but if I use mai, they know it already

[quick axle]

Don't make assumptions.

Overassuming things is just not too good.

Just because you're using Mai, doesn't mean the opponent knows if you're playing Harpies or not.

[sleek garnet]

Look for duel links decklists

[robust void]

it does not matter

[vital scroll]

welp, it's time to grind for the 3 cards on seto kaiba

[sleek garnet]

Most of the cards in the image arent even in the game

[quick axle]

https://www.duellinksmeta.com/

[vital scroll]

there's 1 dark magician deck on duel links meta

[sleek garnet]

I can guarantee you DL dark magician plays completely different to what you posted

[vital scroll]

this is the only one I could find

[quick axle]

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

[quick axle]

Instead of looking at the "top decks", look at the deck breakdown.

[vital scroll]

where's the deck breakdown

[quick axle]

...

What did I link then?

[vital scroll]

I mean, if I wanna look for it myself

[sleek garnet]

The negative of your opponent knowing what you're playing is massively overshadowed by the fact you're adding harpie's feather duster to your hand

[vital scroll]

that one card that can destroy mirror force

[sleek garnet]

That's a good thing, yes

[vital scroll]

I swear, people who use dm or blue eyes always start with mirror force in hand

[sleek garnet]

By the way

Even if they know you're on harpies

That doesnt matter

[vital scroll]

like, how?!

[sleek garnet]

Decks follow a linear gameplan

No matter what the opponent is using

[vital scroll]

like that one dude using T.G.?

[sleek garnet]

Blue eyes will always set sucessor soul, t.g. will always summon halderd cannon

Etc

[vital scroll]

what's the point of adding fusion cards if there's no poly?

[sleek garnet]

Secrets of dark magic is a fusion spell

[vital scroll]

oh wait- there's 1 in the breakdown

magicalized fushion

[sleek garnet]

Late response but, its complicated

From a design standpoint, there's not really a way to have maximums both able to be countered reliably and not having them completely outclassed

[vital scroll]

this is all I got rn from the breakdown

[sleek garnet]

Specially early on where maximum monsters kinda suck in general besides having big atk

But personally i dont really have a problem facing them

Yggdrago and Overlord dont really have ways to force out seal array without just hoping that they snipe it with their MSTs

And the decks can just be aggro'd out since they have very weak pressure without their maximums

[vital scroll]

hmm

[vital scroll]

well, this one surrenderd

[robust void]

normally I'd agree but maximum overload is a pretty disgusting skill lol

I really hate the overabundance of attack modification in skills. it means there's too many free outs independent of your deck building skill

I wanna know what kind of crack they were smoking for the free summon

[sleek garnet]

I feel the same but with position changing tbh

[sleek garnet]

"Please use SRM in the dark machine deck"

[robust void]

I don't necessarily mind it but the harpie one specifically is overturned

yeah lmao

it's fine though cuz dealer fodder at worst

[sleek garnet]

Ngl the current meta kinda makes overload fine to exist imo

Atk modulation doesnt really matter rn

[vital scroll]

why is there a shaddoll player in silver 1?!

[robust void]

how do you figure? with only 6k LP any battle damage turns the next turn into an otk if you can't kill them on your following turn (which makes sacky backrow overly impactful)

[vital scroll]

aren't shaddoll players supposed to be higher?

[sleek garnet]

Backrow rn is very strong

[vital scroll]

wait- which char does use photon?

[sleek garnet]

And since atk modulation only lasts for one turn it feels less impactful that, say, doom metal and bright dragon resolving

[sleek garnet]

Kite Tenjo

[vital scroll]

alright

also, get we a char ticket tomorrow?

[sleek garnet]

Yes

[vital scroll]

on who should I use it the most?

[sleek garnet]

Jaden/Yubel

[vital scroll]

why him?

[sleek garnet]

He needs 5 other characters to unlock

[vital scroll]

oof

[robust void]

part of why bright dragon really sucks to fight right now is half of our backrow can't put it into kill range in battle phase vs other bosses

it's really dumb how pushed blue eyes is

it always reeks of desperation

[sleek garnet]

It really does

[robust void]

"how do we get money"
"push the blue eyes button"

like you can do other things konami

[sleek garnet]

Sympton of the fact that rush was received very poorly

But it is what it is

People wont buy anything that they dont already recognize

[robust void]

they already tried it with pushing DM and releasing blue eyes earlier

who else still has to come over

prob gonna piss more people off with the homogeny

[sleek garnet]

I dont think that bewd skill pulled anyone

[robust void]

probably not lol

[sleek garnet]

Stuff needs to be both recognizable and good

[vital scroll]

so rather him than vellian crowler, syrus, zane, tyranno, sertorius, yubel, blair, axel and jim?

[sleek garnet]

Dm failed at the latter

[sleek garnet]

Yea

[vital scroll]

this one is already a pain

[sleek garnet]

Just let the cpu hit you at level 10

[robust void]

DM was at least playable which is where I prefer nostalgia decks to be. in the current meta now I have to question their willingness to hit what's really nonsense powercreep

[vital scroll]

I mean, axel might be easy

[robust void]

doesn't the skill not even require you to shuffle a card back into deck

like that's so absurd lol

[sleek garnet]

It does

For bewd at least

[robust void]

oh ok

[vital scroll]

but how do they think I can do this?

[robust void]

regardless it's cracked

[sleek garnet]

[Oversoul]

[vivid wave]

O - Oversoul

Effect

Target 1 "Elemental HERO" Normal Monster in your GY; Special Summon that target.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG/MD)

[vital scroll]

yeah... gl with getting neos in the gy

[robust void]

maximum overload is the only thing doing something similar and SRM is guaranteed dead next turn unlike bright eyes
