[mighty bramble]

Honestly I just didn’t know what else to get but then I remembered Traptrix are a thing

[sleek garnet]

0 HITS LETS GOOOOOOO

LEGIT GOT NOTHING I WANTED, WOOOOOOOO

[dapper grotto]

Hell yeah, let's go gambling!

Been also trying out the new Miragiastar Fusion in Rush Duel. Having both fusions have been very helpful in getting more returns outside of just bricking hard sometimes, but I'm liking Luke Dragons so far.

[robust void]

@sleek garnet what can we do with red boot

[sleek garnet]

The card or the deck?

In any case, i'm pretty happy with it in testing, although i dont think it breaks top 3 unfortunately

[robust void]

either

[sleek garnet]

yea deck's cool

extremely consistent but the ceiling is a bit on the lower end

its competent but at the end of the day its kinda just worse multistrike dragons

since if the opponent has 2 low level guys miragiastar can just outright kill them instead of bluetooth just getting pops off and going to 3100

oh yea btw miragiastar is broken

it just kills you if you have no traps

[robust void]

I'm pretty used to that now

[dapper grotto]

I'm so glad we got fun new support in Miragiastar, exactly what I need after playing the same awful Cydras or Metarions over and over.

And yeah, I hope we get a ton more better traps we can use.

Magic Cylinder would be hilarious.

But that's a legend trap, so probably not gonna fix things.

[sleek garnet]

Yea our current legend trap already steals games by itself

[sleek garnet]

Also, yea otks are common but miragiastar does it from 6k, so if you have anything less than 2 level 5+ monsters or a trap, you die

And if you set stuff instead, you're open to dragiastar piercing you to death

[robust void]

i know it's worse now but it was so bad with voidvelg that i'm used to it

i might be done with rush DL until something interesting drops

[sleek garnet]

Cant blame you tbh

DL's devteam seem to have set their goals of making games have as least interactions as possible

For both formats

[quick axle]

Hmm... so, what will be this year? There's no more current series so far.

[dapper grotto]

Someone speculated it'll be the Branded or Sky Striker world, since they'll be airing animated shorts of it.

That would be pretty damn cool ngl.

[robust void]

a world dedicated to one archetype? i don't see that happening

[dapper grotto]

If it's a world like Branded, then it can work, since it has a ton of archetypes...I do see your point about Sky Striker World though lmao.

It has to be a fleshed out world like Duel Terminal, or the Dracoslayer world.

[robust void]

maybe, but even the biggest ones just dry up on content eventually

[dapper grotto]

It can't be any quicker than DSOD content.

I think they only had a new character after their ending....like once for Bakura?

[sleek garnet]

Yea, just bakura

[dapper grotto]

Yeah, that's literally it. So I'm sure we can milk Duel Terminal or Branded lore at least as long as DSOD.

[quick axle]

But that's the thing... I think the main issue is the lack of humanoid characters.

Duel Terminal lore has humanoid characters, but there's also archetypes like Jurrac, Worm and stuff, that aren't humanoid at all.

[dapper grotto]

Well... I'm sure they can keep the non-humanoids as NPCs during events or standard duelists or something.

They can probably make Genex Controller as a Legendary Duelist if you squint hard enough.

[quick axle]

Abyss Lore has a lot of humanoid characters, same with the World Legacy world, but in kind of a lesser capacity.

[sleek garnet]

Honestly

I think it would be better to do the manga only characters over lore worlds

We can leave the anthology stuff to master duel

[dapper grotto]

Yeah, manga stuff would be nice too. That can really sell the multiverse aspect of Duel Links...I guess.

[quick axle]

Okay, here's a novel idea. Waking the Dragons arc, but probably it wouldn't work.

[sleek garnet]

I mean why not?

It was already in the files at one point

[robust void]

considering how much they love milking DM it'd be more surprising if they didn't

[sudden tinsel]

No dartz ?

[quick axle]

There's like 5 character slots here.

[small fern]

interesting decisions to make on that regard;
nobody knows Yu-Gi-Oh! R, but they also tried to avoid anime excluisves (despite several filler cards being called out, Yami Yugi calls out more Waking the Dragons cards than other cards, Tristan Taylor is at least half defined by Virtual World pt 2, etc.)

[quick axle]

Yu-Gi-Oh! R has like some similarities towards Waking the Dragons.

It involves a new foe, the duelists use strategies that counter the usual strategies of the main duelists, things like that.

[mighty bramble]

How many of these are necessary

[dry widget]

1 and 2 isnt ideal but its acceptable, the deck functions mostly as normal

1 and 2 is more or less the core minimum

usually theyre 2 and 3 but i wouldnt burn that many gems on a main box

[robust void]

i have 1 of everything because im on a budget and the deck absolutely works

certainly not ideal but it's fine

i do agree that i would have ratios similar to what spirawr suggests if i had the gems for it

chamber at 1-2 might sound unintuitive but you have a completely busted no-nonsense search for it

i would not be shocked if it's nerfed in some capacity that requires more chambers but until then, whatever

[robust void]

I'm such a fake thunder player

I didn't have lightning braver until now

I got my first copy literally the first pack after I lost a duel only because of a deck out

[rich dirge]

Yo

Guys in duel links rn I am grinding for yusei's deck I already have a deck for aki and now I have ur dream ticket
Which one should I buy
Shooting quasar dragon
T.G. Shooting star dragon

[robust void]

does neuron still not let you mark a rush deck as for duel links

[sleek garnet]

Ideally you want both, but quasar is slightly higher priority

[robust void]

choc have you tried to use neuron

[sleek garnet]

Yes but i dont use it for rush

Cant read japanese and all that

[robust void]

when i updated it i felt like much more of it was in english and i got excited

but the card names, descriptions, and filters are still all in japanese

it's so fucking dumb how disorganized everything is man

the localizers and this app should be in total lock-step so they're not depriving DL of functionality and cross-promotion

in other news i got tired of losing with thunders and decided to go full meme and make my deck almost nothing but 1 ofs so im running like 1 of every thunder with the exception of the platypus thing and shit and i started winning lol

they cannot predict my shit pile....

[dry widget]

it would be pretty awkward for neuron to fully support dl rush though

because there's still no rush tcg

[robust void]

it should only matter whether or not it's in DL

they only downside to doing it would be that it "feels weird" while theres multiple tangible upsides to doing it

[sleek garnet]

The actual downside is "konami has to pay someone to do that"

[robust void]

yeah basically

increased engagement would lead to them making their money back from it in the abstract but short term gains etc

[sleek garnet]

I mean would it?

Ocg regions that have their own little trinkets aside, neuron doesnt generate revenue for konami

And its not like there's enough rush tournaments in the west to justify the need for it

[young viper]

Anyone wants to lose on dual links real quick?

[mighty bramble]

I looked up some Dragonmaid ratios and tweaked my own deck accordingly alongside some of my personal staples

[dapper grotto]

Personally wouldn't have the Magic Cylinder stuff, but it seems solid otherwise.

[sleek garnet]

this is my build atm

On another note

[dapper grotto]

More SR Dream Tickets!

What's the Black ticket tho?

[sleek garnet]

the ticket gets you a prismatic version of any vrains ace monster

(firewall is in the pool, but not decode talker)

[dapper grotto]

Good stuff. I do need a Prismatic Firewall since I didn't dig in much for it.

[sleek garnet]

i think i got a prisma firewall already

so i'm considering either borreload or heatleo

[dapper grotto]

Oh...nvm. I guess I already got one from previous tickets too.

Maybe I'll choose the Sunavalon then.

[mighty bramble]

I just use it for the funny

No one online expects it

[robust void]

it does by increasing peoples engagement with the brand which transfers to product, even if it's only potential spending on DL (in the case of rush in the west)

[rich dirge]

Hello

Can someone invite me to get gems please?

I just beat a dude playing paradox using a decently well build malefic deck

I don’t see malefic users too often tbh

It’s a cool deck so sucks it’s not used more

Also, Urgent Schedule is randomly in here.

But it does support Morphs so... 😦

[short trench]

When they adding raidraptor ultimate falcon

[timber river]

give us Halq you cowards

[quick axle]

Halq would be insanely busted.

And then it would suffer the same fate as Mermaid in the OCG / TCG.

Somehow, Mermaid and Goblin got unbanned in MD... to little effet.

[sleek garnet]

I mean, put it in an archive skill, its as easy as that

[robust void]

well uh I certainly can't complain about that now can I

[neon elm]

Thank

[dapper grotto]

I can.

[sleek garnet]

Well uhhhh

Its something i guess?

[short trench]

Dude when people forget raidraptor revolution falcons effect its hilarious

If it battles a special summoned monster the opponents monster gets its ATK reduced to 0

Without an effect negate if my falcon gets attacked the opponent usually takes themselves out

[dapper grotto]

I got my 3rd Machina Gearframe, two Morphtronics Celfon, Super Express Bullet Train, and my 5th Trickstar Festival.

What did you guys get for your free 10 pulls in the anni box?

[short trench]

Nothing good

I’m annoyed

[dapper grotto]

[short trench]

I XYZ summoned my rank 8 satellite cannon falcon and its effect lets me destroy all enemy spell and traps and it also states this effect cannot be negated

But somehow the other guy negated the effect

And I lost

Duel links wilding

[dapper grotto]

What do you mean they negated it? They can't respond at all iirc.

Or do you mean they have protection?

[short trench]

They literally negated my effect

Like they stopped me from using it

They were playing sunavalon

Game must of glitched or something

The game allowed them to activate an effect which stopped me from using my monsters summoning effect

[sleek garnet]

Send the replay

[mighty bramble]

Not a bad first multi I think

[sleek garnet]

its alright i guess

[dapper grotto]

That's pretty decent ngl.

[sleek garnet]

yea these were the first 10

[dapper grotto]

💀

Oof.

[sleek garnet]

now to grind 11k gems because i need the borrelsword

shame its the ugly ass art tho

[dapper grotto]

Yeah, I wouldn't try to get that either, It's such an awkward pose too.

I really want the Black Rose Dragon Alt art though, that one looks pretty cool.

[sleek garnet]

notably, 3 of in the box

pretty interesting

[dapper grotto]

Gonna look real nice as a chronicle card too. Maybe gonna try Aurora on it if I ever get it.

Seems a little unfair don’t you think

[sleek garnet]

I think its more of a sign that you need to improve your own strategy

Your board ended on zero ways to interact with your opponent, you would've lost to dinomist in the same circunstances

[young viper]

No problem

Also anyone down to dual me in duel links the superior dual game

[mighty bramble]

I don’t care how much support Duel Links gives it I’m not using the Gemini Gearfrieds

[mighty bramble]

Genuinely what are the odds

[short trench]

Absolutely, I wasn’t banking on him direct attacking

I was more counting on him actually attacking my monsters in which scenario I had a plan in place

I have cards that could have spared my life but I didn’t have them out unfortunately

[sleek garnet]

Consider just watching a youtube guide for the deck

[short trench]

Probably a good idea

[dapper grotto]

Wait, we can't change the pose to their Versus one?

I also can't shift my deck to my other ones on the UI for some reason for the new Soulburner

[mighty bramble]

This might be a silly question but what’s a good deck right now using Playmaker’s kit

[sleek garnet]

darkfluid link

[dapper grotto]

My auto Duel deck hasn't been working against the lv 40 Soulburner AI, what decks have you guys been using? I really don't want to manually beat him every time...

[robust void]

I've used my solfachord deck on auto out of laziness and it's probably a 50% win rate so I'm also having this issue

maybe non destruction removal like drowning and compulse so they aren't protected by balelynx

haven't tried

[dapper grotto]

Compulse should work, I wouldn't recommend Drowning though. Battle Traps in general are a bad idea against Soulburner when Heatleo can just spin it back to yiour deck.

[mighty bramble]

Got the boy

Outside of VRAINS the only Alt Style I can think of is evil Yuya

[amber urchin]

Dude a berserk Yuya variant would look awesome

[dapper grotto]

A shame the alt style only has gems that are the same as a lv 30 character.

I hope they give more missions for alt styles in the future.

[dry widget]

my standard blue-eyes autoduel deck's been pretty consistent, i havent really noticed it having trouble

what are you running

[dapper grotto]

I'm running Masked HEROs with chainable backrow

one sec lemme show you

There are times when Soulburner protects his monsters with Balelynx, but it's pretty random when they summon Balelynx or not first.

[dry widget]

is the autoduel good at using compulse?

[dapper grotto]

I mean...it usually activates it when they try to get rid of it. 😅

[short trench]

@dapper grotto bloom diva the melodious choir

How am I supposed to beat that card lol

It’s literally unstoppable

Its effect is OP

[dry widget]

melodious isnt even good!
anyway. although she can't be destroyed, she can still be targeted; basically any targeted answer will stop her, and there are a lot of those
options any deck can play include forbidden chalice/effect veiler, crackdown, paleozoic dinomischus/karma cut, forbidden droplet, ice dragon's prison, knightmare unicorn, etc. several of those cards can be gotten through box chips, so they're affordable even for f2p. you can also flip her face-down with e.g. book of moon/eclipse, then destroy her while she's face-down

if you're really desperate for removal on a budget, you can even use lava golem or the various kaiju monsters

[short trench]

That is true

I just wasn’t prepared for that kind of monster, all my target based effects are either ATK reducers or destruction based

He could destroy any of my special summoned monsters and deal me damage, I didn’t have any options on hand to beat that specific card

[craggy nymph]

What’s the best skill to use for yugo with speedroid/clear wing?

[sleek garnet]

clear wing acceleration

[robust void]

[sleek garnet]

Oh shit it really does

[short trench]

What does it do?

[sleek garnet]

Turns yoyo into a one card crystal wing

P[clear wing acceleration]

[vivid wave]

Clear Wing Acceleration

Effect

You can only use this Skill's second and third effects once per Duel. You cannot Normal or Special Summon monsters except for Synchro Monsters or WIND Dragon or WIND Machine monsters during the Duel you activate this Skill.
1: If you control "Clear Wing Synchro Dragon", play 1 "Speedroid Red-Eyed Dice" from your Deck or Graveyard.
2: During your Main Phase, send 1 Synchro Monster or 1 "Speedroid" Tuner from your Deck or field to the Graveyard.
If you sent a Synchro Monster to the Graveyard, play 1 "Clear Wing Synchro Dragon" from your Graveyard. That monster gains ATK equal to the Level of the Synchro Monster x 200 until the end of this turn.

@sleek garnet

Explain the "54 packs"

Well I have all of that cards when I draw 54 packs?

[sleek garnet]

By clearing the box you get the numbered amount of everything in the box, but the order is random

[rich dirge]

Fine.

[sleek garnet]

You could, for example, pull every single UR and SR in the next 9 packs, the remaining 45 would have the Rs and Ns left

thunder has some nice foil combos

[mighty bramble]

Nothing grinds my gears more than someone in PvP uses an anime deck but they don’t bother using the character that actually used them

[robust void]

that's a weird thing to be bothered by

[dry widget]

youll have to be more specific than that, but

• it's rather unusual for shiranui to end on 2 things that are valid fusion materials, are you sure you arent misreading the material requirements? (the opponent's monster has to be level 8+ or have 2500+ atk - you can't fuse with the shiranui link, only with their big synchro bosses)
• punishment locks until your next turn, so if you used it on the previous turn then you'll still be locked out of albaz
  else you'll need a replay

[mighty bramble]

How does my pure Dogmatika deck look

lol the ending to this duel @sleek garnet

[sleek garnet]

I wish kimeruler was good so badly

Going direct with a 2.5k dude is awesome

[robust void]

yeah he looks badass at least

I wish a three rulers deck actually worked

[sleek garnet]

Grind the gate for level up rewards

Stage missions are also a decent gem source

No

I only use one account

[robust void]

@sleek garnet why do you think they failed to kill psychics

[sleek garnet]

Because they cant actually hit anything that's waiting for future support

Which is most of the deck anyway

So the deck has a bunch of lim 3s which the deck can afford anyway because the skill searches whatever you need that turn

[robust void]

you said it was dead in a ditch I'll never forgive u

JK I'm trying to play it now

need a grind deck

@sleek garnet can you give me a psychic list please?

[sleek garnet]

Overestimated the impact of 3 hits back to back

[sleek garnet]

Here

[robust void]

what's the skill?

[sleek garnet]

Infini:d live

im still sad we barely (if ever) had a format(s) where severing psychic wall was good

i like that card

[dapper grotto]

Glue-eating has rewarded me after I kept losing with Sharks on Dlv 19.

[sleek garnet]

IT'S OVER

Used unchained for dlv 1-17, and star seraphs for the rest of the climb

[dapper grotto]

You're the most dedicated to the grind using rogue stuff.

[robust void]

good job buds

why star seraph?

[sleek garnet]

Got so angry at my opponent top decking exactly what they needed that i decided to play something that ended games faster, but that was still very consistent

And making delteros with scepter(s) is still insane

[robust void]

fair

speaking of dude

ive been trying various top tier rush decks

it feels like theyre 100% consistent for everyone but me

This was the dlv max rank up game

Pretty uneventful but so is most seraph games

[sleek garnet]

Idk how cydra players do it bro

[robust void]

always open the 1 of L8

[sleek garnet]

And the hand has always 1 og cydra every turn

[hazy crow]

Nerf CYDRA too much consistency

Vimana / Infinity / And their Trap in first turn. Like what the actual ....

[dapper grotto]

That sounds like a best case scenario to me. Most of the time they only have Infinity, or in addition, the Trap.

In any case, you gotta get those Forbidden Droplets(send monster) to slip past two of those problems ig.

[sleek garnet]

(The DM and BEWD are profile icons)

[dapper grotto]

Bruh, these would've went hard as card sleeves!

Smh

Still nice though. Free gemmies and more SR Dream tickets.

I hope they add more chronicle rarities. Crystal foiling ain't cutting it.

[robust void]

DL make good cosmetics challenge

[dapper grotto]

Stage 2 is rough for HERO mirrors. I'm just using Sharks and hoping it'll be enough to get by my dailies.

Also, finish your Bingo sheets.

[dapper grotto]

https://www.duellinksmeta.com/articles/sets/deck-build-box-ritual-territory

HELL yeah!

Perfect timing! I was considering whether or not to use my dream tickets on some Ritual stuff. Thank goodness I waited.

[robust void]

remember beast gear? konami doesn't!

[dapper grotto]

Better wait for the Rush Box this month to make that judgement.

I believe we're getting Equip spells too this month?

[sleek garnet]

Idts

Those are basically trademarked with rovian

[dry widget]

they're leaked yeah, rush equips are in the files and maddox has a skill that cares about chemicalizer red

[dry widget]

(it was yuna who introduced them anyhow!)

[sleek garnet]

Ok i just now looked at the leaks

HolyShit.png

[hazy crow]

For me, the new Ritual Skill should've been "End of the World" series instead of insta locked to Reshef.

[robust void]

jointech support coming

its time

(record scratch)

wait

rev synchron

what

oh it might just be for AI or something

that card would be a big boon to solfachord

[dapper grotto]

I...have no clue how Nekroz works, ngl.

What are their end boards now for turn 1?

[sleek garnet]

Unicore pass (jk, you also have valk in hand)

[robust void]

@sleek garnet what does your spider sense tell you about the next rush set

[robust void]

uh

can someone explain to me why the barian battle morph skill can't be used after summoning nova kaiser

oh there's more than one barian battlemorph skill

regardless there's no need to divide them for balancing

oh you can't even use the other skill while both Dempsey and kaiser are up. what is the deal. why are these skills so overbalanced

[sleek garnet]

So:
Equip spells are bad and skills dont make them much better, equip focused light galaxy and jointech are probably worse than their current version.

Vanishing Heliacal Riser is soft confirmed, decent card but aint making xiphos turbo better than galactica order

Chemicalize is not gonna be top tier unfortunately, although skill 3 is comparable to dark galaxy, voidvelg's card quality is much better, specially since you wont get to use your aquas and thunders

Skill 4 sucks

I'm also betting on us not getting chromatographicus since that would mean the best playstyle for chemi would be another secret order pile, and it would make skill 3 somewhat redundant, but who knows

Gaia has potential but their skill basically deconfirms veteran curse of dragon, so the deck is most likely around what hero's doing (aka nothing)

We're potentially getting daedalus and that's funny, but too inconsistent to do anything, and the best possible scenario is us getting sea dragon knight to use in other decks as mst on legs

Tldr: box is mid, personally

[robust void]

ooooooooooooooooooooooof

they need to murder the voidvelg skill man

it's unreal how much it does

sucks to hear rush did not learn from equip spells in the tcg

[sleek garnet]

Equips are somehow worse in rush than in old tcg

Like, at least you have stuff like "the equipped monster cant be destroyed by battle" which isnt great but not bad either

Here we have "+300 atk and cant be destroyed by traps"

Btw, xiphos can only be used if your opponent controls a level 7 or 8, not 7 or higher

Which means that it's always dead in the metarion matchup

[robust void]

+300 attack what is this, set 1 rush

the level 7 and 8 stipulations on cards are really fucking annoying dude

"this effect will not work on things that even moreso need their power checked"

good balance

[sleek garnet]

Tbf

Around that time, fusions and maxes did need all the help they could get

[robust void]

there's better ways to buff em

[sleek garnet]

Yea they got it right eventually

[robust void]

wait what's this about chemicalize not being able to use their aquas and thunders

[sleek garnet]

Skill 3 and 4 pyro locks you

[robust void]

w

why would they do that

isnt the whole point that they use three types

[sleek garnet]

Not in season 1

During that time manabu uses pyros only

[robust void]

oh makes more sense

i guess

[sleek garnet]

Yea it makes sense but maaaaaan the tri type stuff is so cool

[naive mango]

what do u think about this deck

[sleek garnet]

Missing a lot of stuff that makes the deck good

[naive mango]

like what

[sleek garnet]

Cyberse sage, the other main deck firewalls, cynet refresh

Borrelriot

Iblee

Ddr

Chimera, integrator

Elphase, a link 1 cyberse monster

Linkslayer, armored bitron

Firewall decks run most of their extenders as 1 ones since they have plenty redundancy and you want to not run around once per turn clauses

[dry widget]

id like to highlight jointech raptor
very notable as being our first meaningful way to mill the opponent! which can matter a lot in small deck sizes, your decks are not safe anymore, could definitely lead to some deckout wins

voidvelg in particular has to control its mills carefully since it tends to deplete its deck fast and raptor could definitely steal wins against that deck

[robust void]

i would love for that to be true, but they kill fast enough for it to not likely be an issue. plus seal array

hopefully im wrong

[hazy crow]

WAAAAAIT WHEN DID KOMONEY RELEASED SUMMONER OF ILLUSION FROM ITS SHACKLE???

Im sensing Ghostrick abuse

****YES TAROTREI let us plunge the world into darkness!

[robust void]

jfc neither of them work with Nova kaiser actually lmao

[hazy crow]

Yes a hit for EHero (SPEED). Too bad they didnt include cross keeper with it.

Also this, the great toxic card

[quick axle]

Imitation banned.

And nothing of value was lost.

[dapper grotto]

Screw these burn cards. 🤬

And from the banlist, it seems Salads will now have to run backrow removal like MST, or commit to Heatleo. And HEROs will lost access to Staple limited 3s and some consistency

Though I believe they just use those stall traps and hand traps, so probably not gonna matter much.

[robust void]

the hero hit feels irrelevant

gotta keep the nostalgia deck going as long as people can tolerate

[quick axle]

Did the FTK became more prominent thanks to Braver Dragon?

[sleek garnet]

No

[sleek garnet]

Tbf

Idt expecting a popular deck to die a month after release was in any way realistic

Specially since its the campaign cover deck

[robust void]

I wasn't expecting it. it's just a dumb model

btw why do we still have no wyrm traps in rush

why are they like this

[sleek garnet]

btw why do we still have no wyrm traps in rush

[robust void]

word

if rush had traps games would take hours long or something according to them

[sleek garnet]

You think its because it would cause too many deckouts?

[robust void]

maybe but they would just need to pivot to skills shuffling cards back to fix it

or they could just do what they should have done in the first place and make the deck size 40

just cuz the main game went to 20 doesn't mean it'd work for rush

going to 30 I mean

[quick axle]

@sleek garnet Then, why did the FTK became more prominent?

I know that the FTK has been there since at least two years ago or so.

[sleek garnet]

They released a skill that turns [pride and soul] into pot of greed

[vivid wave]

Dragon of Pride and Soul

DARK • Level: 8
[ Dragon / Effect ]

ATK 2500 / DEF 2500

Effect

Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must be Special Summoned (from your hand) while your opponent has 25 or more cards in their GY. While you have 25 or more cards in your GY, this card gains 2500 ATK/DEF.

[sleek garnet]

And we just got a critial mass of draw spells

Allure of darkness, trade in, spellbook of knowledge

Into the void, anchamoufrite

[quick axle]

"I activate Pot of Greed! It allows me to draw two more cards from my deck!"

[sleek garnet]

@half sphinx btw you think we're getting sea dragon knight?

The daedalus skill kinda points towards it, and the box is really bad otherwise

[half sphinx]

Yeah, I'm like 90% it's here

just realized

Yuhi season 2 skin means the bee gets the animation

😭

[sleek garnet]

Dawg

You cant just say that

He never used hero in s2 did he?

[half sphinx]

he appears like once per arc

wait no

even less

vs Zaion

[sleek garnet]

Ok we're still in the game

...

[half sphinx]

and vs Yuga

[sleek garnet]

Wait

[half sphinx]

yeah, he just jobs twice

[sleek garnet]

Kuaidul is gonna be a yudias alt wont he

[half sphinx]

yeah, I assume so

[sleek garnet]

It's so over dude

[half sphinx]

Yudias so cooked

He might actually get 2 styles to add in the voicelines

like him+ Kuaidul for his lines and just Kuaidul separately for the primes

[sleek garnet]

I hope we get the sengoku fit reasonably soon

That shit rocks

[half sphinx]

allows them to stretch the only interesting part of that season more...

[sleek garnet]

I mean

S2 is long enough i think

[half sphinx]

S2 lacks characters tbf

[sleek garnet]

Phaser, tremolo, zaion, kuaidul, possibly yuna since celebs debut here

[half sphinx]

you do the brothers, Kuaidul and then like, Yuna based on when you want to add her?

[sleek garnet]

5ds got away with 3 guys for their s2

[half sphinx]

Zaion I think doesn't make it in ngl

I think we get like Asaka instead or something

[sleek garnet]

Space ygg archive skill would be depressing gonna be honest

[half sphinx]

wait

hold on

if we had Mamabu with equips early

after Rovian

Asaka with the go rush fusion debut

fr fr

[sleek garnet]

Real

[half sphinx]

because we're gonna die of old age by the time Luge is in

[sleek garnet]

GR has so many characters before the plot gets going

Its insane

[half sphinx]

the darkmen are totally all Sabuyas skins, right?

(except Bruyea, he's not making it into the game at all)

[sleek garnet]

Yea

Altho

I could see sabuyas also being an alt for meister

[half sphinx]

hear me out

Sabuyas Zwijo alt

[sleek garnet]

[half sphinx]

After all the simping

[sleek garnet]

Qww

How much are we paying for the jointech rex cosplay yuhi?

[half sphinx]

that's the worlds prize

Actual cowardice they didn't let him beat Yudias dressed like Rex

Otei Usu as a Yuga Ohdo (Go Rush) alt...

[sleek garnet]

Man that reminds me

Why do the manabu skills pyro lock

Its so bad

[half sphinx]

spoiler guard

[sleek garnet]

The subreddit sees volcalize and dies

[half sphinx]

Volcalize animation for the Study alt

Manabu totally not getting any of the other bosses right?

no level changing in the skills

[sleek garnet]

That would kill a different group of people

[sleek garnet]

Idt we're getting graphas since that would mean the deck turns into secret order pile like wyrms

[half sphinx]

Rovian is deffo next unlock btw

cuz of the kp21 leaks

we know there's psychics in there

[sleek garnet]

Hopefully a double unlock with yuna

Oh yea also

GC fest is in march

Bets on the list?

[half sphinx]

Dragon skill hit somehow and Metagiastar very next box

Cydra will get some weird meaningless hit

[sleek garnet]

I think psychics will get nuked from orbit

[half sphinx]

psychics dead and tell you to play Rovian yeaj

[sleek garnet]

Along with galactica order

[half sphinx]

Galactica Order I think might live this one

[sleek garnet]

And reactor to 3

[half sphinx]

and get hit once there's more space for Yudias stuff to be added

[sleek garnet]

I think that would be now

Since we're getting riser as a second boss

[half sphinx]

Riser and boss in the same sentence is devious work

[sleek garnet]

Well, cant call tabula rasa that now can we?

[half sphinx]

Tabula Rasa looked cooler on the side of kp11 than Riser did on the structure cover

[sleek garnet]

DGalaxy also prob lives until the rerun yea?

[half sphinx]

Ye

They got no skill for Tyrfing so I assume they skip this box too

[sleek garnet]

Mhm

Speaking of

Aint it jsut weird that manabu skill 3 is just a reskin of zwijo's?

[half sphinx]

Zwijo is just HIM ig

[sleek garnet]

Like, it makes sense for him since pale rider is a big deal and the mills fit the aggressive playstyle

But with manabu it just feels out of place

[half sphinx]

They were afraid of deckout bullshit if they milled the other player for salamander ig

[sleek garnet]

I guess?

[half sphinx]

but they could have put red robe and the other guy in the opp's gy to avoid that

[sleek garnet]

Guess they didnt want to make any skill that supported the burn guys too

Like nitro dog...

[half sphinx]

can't have shit in the Secrecy

[sleek garnet]

Red is just the worst card ever its so funny

What are you giving protection against?

[half sphinx]

Secrecy is some Fallen London name I swear

[sleek garnet]

No one even runs ruin

[half sphinx]

You see

here's the brilliant play

at the level cap increase, Yudias is getting Vacua

[sleek garnet]

Can we just give dark revelation to yuga?

He genuinely needs it

[half sphinx]

Go Rush Yuga gatekeeping both wonder and dark rev in his levelups gonna be a crazy visual

[sleek garnet]

Rev in the sel box, gearpard as lvl up reward

I know who konami is

Actually no they put pre hit sparksheart in the sel box

Idk what they're doing

[half sphinx]

Gearpard free, his fusion in selection...

can't have too much backrow removal running around...

[sleek garnet]

Imagine you open his lvl ups and its just the shitty guys from arc 1 sevens

Ice age meteor and savage claw tiger

And Bascule

[half sphinx]

wait waot wait

funniest meme unlock

that alien guy from ep 1 of season 2

that beats Yudias with that really huge meteor

[sleek garnet]

Dudi?

[half sphinx]

no, one of the green guys they were at war with

[sleek garnet]

Nah that's just devious

[half sphinx]

I think that's gotta be top 1 funniest unlock

him or Mobuko

[sleek garnet]

Maguto

[half sphinx]

real question, why did they have Kuyamuya look like Mobuko?

what was the plot for this...

[sleek garnet]

Hmmm

GR is doing time travel atm

What if...

[half sphinx]

wait

hold on

last ep

|| iirc, right before turning back into her cat form, she kinda gives Tell a weird look for half a second||

and Mobuko worked at Tell's cleaning service...

no way this is how we explain things, right....

[sleek garnet]

It's go rush

Any attempt at prediction is thrown out the window

[half sphinx]

Like on one hand

she seems like a gag character

but there's stuff like her appearing as a giant in the dream world

[sleek garnet]

Hmmm

What if she's the hook for ygo9

Like the alien sisters from sevens

[half sphinx]

Unless that was meant to be like a riff on the gag

like she was holding up the world because she has all the jobs

having the character literally named "background girl" as the sequel hook would be so peak

Goopy space cat creates timeloop of suffering craziest yugioh plot oat fr fr

[sleek garnet]

Hmm

Does it beat the protag's vaccum cleaner pet trying to take over the world and having to be put down?

[half sphinx]

nah, that's like an usual Thursday on the valvelgear, we just don't see it cuz the catboys fight it

[sleek garnet]

Actually wait

Does it beat the turkish man ddos being canonized in sevens?

[half sphinx]

I forgor about that

turkish man ddos for 30 dollars and a gf

[sleek garnet]

Otes down bad since his stay in the sengoku era

Crazy stuff

[half sphinx]

If Otes is Turkish

then he could actually be the emperor of mankind from 40k

he's just uplifting humanity through rush duels fr fr

totally nothing bad is gonna happen here...

[sleek garnet]

Still thinking about how he got access to yudias' trauma with a fucking pestle and mortar

Wait i solved the plot

[half sphinx]

this season only exists so that my "Go Rush is actually a 40k parody" essay could add 20 extra pages

[sleek garnet]

Since he now knows how rituals work

He creates synchros to return to the future

[half sphinx]

ygo9 gonna go crazy

[sleek garnet]

Sevens and 5ds do be a futuristic dystopia

[half sphinx]

this show is actually crazy when you think about it

first action Yudias takes of his own accord and free will

and it's to genocide another species

[sleek garnet]

It's just like all the other shows

You can just blame the blond twink and shit resolves itself

[half sphinx]

oh yeah and after doing that it doesn't actually matter

since they're all alive 5 eps later

[sleek garnet]

Kids shown innit

You can be edgy but only having consequences for half an arc

[half sphinx]

odds on them just killing Zwijo for the finale to shoehorn the chaos galaxy maindecks?

and then reviving at the end

he's already on death number 5 or something

[sleek garnet]

Probably the cards just materialize from a tag duel

(How tf did yudias get that fusion spell? The tag wasnt even pre planned)

[half sphinx]

I kinda feel like

Zwijo became super supportive and glazing Yudias all of a sudden

cuz they remember nobody gave a shit about s3 Zwijo and they want some drama

When whatever he saw in that vision happens

[sleek garnet]

Smth smth season 3 was not written in advance

[robust void]

why is silvermountain on the limited list

[sleek garnet]

Its not?

[robust void]

it's limited 1 wdym

[sleek garnet]

Oh the rush card

Thought you mean the xyz monster

Anyway its because wyrms cant have nice things

[dry widget]

silvermountain isnt even a nice thing it sucks

[robust void]

I was gonna say that myself lol

[dapper grotto]

What the...I just saw this on Street Replays today.

[sleek garnet]

Yea i saw it getting some tops too

As it turns out, the skill can really just discard any warrior and the deck doesnt need a normal summon

Its hilarious

[robust void]

wait it doesn't even hard lock you to its archetypes

what the fuck

they really just get anything

[sleek garnet]

2025 yugioh, what the fuck is a lock

[robust void]

rush skills still require everything in your deck to be X

[agile bone]

Regarding GO RUSH!! characters, the character lines do imply Manya/Immi, Yuna, Rovian and perhaps Damamu to come in the nearer future.

If I recall correctly.

[robust void]

what archetypes are those, if you dont mind

[sleek garnet]

Dian keto (which is mostly water so our current skills wouldnt work)

Celeb rose

Wind psychics

Tamabot turbo (most of the cards are anime only)

[robust void]

thank you choc

I like all of those except I don't know what the other dian keto shit is

where's music princess

[sleek garnet]

Skipped over for metarion like all the other cool sevens era decks

[robust void]

[agile bone]

Worth noting that Yuna might just be Sevens Road.

[sleek garnet]

Not necessarely

Zane started with his cyberdarks instead of cydra

Plus like, 4 other examples from gx alone

Shark already had N32 from day 1, trey got atlantis, etc

@robust void @half sphinx WE PLAYING SECRET ORDER AGAIN LFGGGGGGGGGGGG

[robust void]

no more...no more....

[sleek garnet]

At least parallel gate isnt legal, there's that

(btw the main antagonist from the 3rd arc also has a 2500 level 7 vanilla as his ace, we're never escaping it)

[robust void]

I'm sure there will be a skill to search it every single turn

[sleek garnet]

[short trench]

Nice

I’m being abused by train users

Some kid was tryna smite me with his trains but I whipped out the 15k ATK arc rebellion xyz dragon

[dapper grotto]

I'm still saving my dream tickets for a rainy day.

Maybe if they're expiring, I'll go get my third Mezuki.

We've been getting a ton of SR Dream Tickets,. but not enough UR ones. 😔

[deep mesa]

Bro why do we have lumis and umbra but not Rebecca I'm so tired of these new rush characters being the only ones being added

[robust void]

konami isn't cool enough to support fire princess

[deep mesa]

She was so good tho she was a prodigy so much better than paradox and lumis and umbra

[dry widget]

i would be so angry if rebecca of all people got added before MADDOX

[deep mesa]

Dm existed first tho

And didn't he just get added in this update

[dry widget]

main character who was inexplicably absent from world launch vs. literally who, she doesn't even have a deck?

[deep mesa]

Yes she does

We see her duel more times then characters that are actually in the game rn

[dry widget]

she played duels so she has cards but if you want to actually add her to the game what are you giving to her, she plays no archetype and has no meaningful ace, all she has is chaff that was in the game as mostly ticket filler years ago

[deep mesa]

I mean neither does scud but he's in there

And paradox

[dry widget]

we don't talk about him

[dry widget]

eh? paradox plays the malefic deck

or do you mean para and dox

[deep mesa]

Para and dox

I always forget that there's a character named paradox

[dry widget]

well those 2 were there from very early in the game, but at least they have gate guardian and its pieces as an ace mon

[deep mesa]

Cant her ace be luster dragon?

Or diamond head dragon?

She has strong cards

[dry widget]

maybe if they print diamond head it could be that, but they'd have to do that first

(dartz and darkness are likely similar, they don't have anything to release unless they print new stuff for them irl)

darkness being absent from gx feels bad, that's the main antag who's mia still

[deep mesa]

The list of characters who have dueled less than Rebecca on screen
Tristan
Espa roba
Arkansas
Lumis and umbra
Para and dox
Mokuba
Solomon muto
Tea
Dark signer carly
Dark signer rex
Dark signer kalin
Carly carmine
Yuto
Rin
Lulu
Scud

And bonz

[dry widget]

point is dm is pretty complete by now, it doesnt need more - it already has the most characters out of every world and just about everyone important is in
while the rush worlds are new and actually need to get plot-relevant characters before we delve into the minor side characters from dm

[deep mesa]

I mean we could atleast get that cloudman dude from gx

[dry widget]

certainly rebecca could've replaced some of the other early filler characters from dm like para/dox and lumis/umbra, but it'd be weird to add her now because they normally want to try and sell something alongside a character and she doesn't have anything to sell

[deep mesa]

Just characters that aren't all sevens and rush

[sleek garnet]

Btw the actual reason is because dm and dsod's worlds are based in the manga

Which is also why we havent gotten any coverage on the virtual world, orichalcos and kcgp arcs

[half sphinx]

Choccy this box is cooked

DL so done we're glazing import decks even there

oh yeah btw

Gaia might be a campaign SD like the BE one

which explains the lack of SD assets, BE also uses the default SD logo

[quick axle]

As in... it's a bad box?

[half sphinx]

no, it's great

for cydra and heroes

[quick axle]

Bad for the Go Rush archetypes.

...

Seriously, what are you smoking, Konami?

[half sphinx]

There is a single Manabu effect monster in this box that is not Salamander

[dapper grotto]

Rebecca is anime-only, and DM World is primarily Manga-based.

[quick axle]

DM and DSoD are manga-based.

Sera's original unlock event was based on the DSoD prequel manga.

[half sphinx]

and then they made an entire event whose ending served to legitimize anime characters being added (the end of the Paradox unlock) and never went anywhere with that

[quick axle]

In which she was the antagonist.

[dapper grotto]

This year they'll do it...probably!

[quick axle]

That was also the event when Pegasus vanished in the aftermath.

Later Duelist Kingdom events would have Playmaker as the host instead.

[sleek garnet]

Bro wtf is grand extreme doing here

This box has more phaser support than manabu and that mf aint even here yet

Btw the literal only trap card in the box is siesta hold, love to see it

[half sphinx]

Did you see Mirroring Wyvern added to NPC cards?

subtle foreshadowing there Konami...

[sleek garnet]

I didnt actually

Funny

[half sphinx]

at least we got lines for everything

surprisingly good localisation ngl

[sleek garnet]

Why does the npc manabu get all of his tri type stuff

While the loaner deck is literally this

Shit aint fair dude

[quick axle]

Konami doing Konami things. What else is new?

[small fern]

she's a Goat-Dragon player with a stall burn attitude, I took it

[dry widget]

2, there's ember and red riser

(phlogiston seems to be a level up)

[dry widget]

npc maddox needs the help
if you see his decklist its so much worse than the loaner

but the tri type stuff is later season and meant to work with volcalize phoenix
but it's also turbo busted! you've read icelyn right?

[small fern]

love how Tristan's ace is listed as Cyber Commander but his only triple-quality monster is Acrobat Monkey (Cyber Commander is only double-quality)

[robust void]

Rebecca's ace should be fire princess bros

[quick axle]

Okay, so... GO RUSH is almost over... so... what happens with the game afterwards?

[robust void]

oh awesome more sucking off heroes and cydra I love current ygo marketing trends

[sleek garnet]

We finally start doing the plot we've been hyping up since 2019

[robust void]

just looked at the box

it's super lame

also pathetic the pre-hits go to sea serpent

[quick axle]

...NOT!

[dry widget]

they look very strong and probably deserve it
although it's very funny to see granganus get the higher rarity slot and the limit 3 when it's just a bad card and its much stronger upgrade is an unlimited R

realistically it doesn't matter and you play 3 each anyway

(im much more scared of gaia in leaks though, which appears to not have meaningful restrictions on it? conqueror lim 1 so you can't play phoenix i guess?)

[robust void]

I think hero and cydra are going to body them regardless of if they were hit

wow they actually imported this card to rush as is

rush didn't learn much from the failure of equips in the og game did it

[deep mesa]

Or guardian angel joan

[sleek garnet]

Oh yea btw, the prehits are probably for future proofing

Abysslayer and abysskite are both VERY good decks

[robust void]

that's not necessarily wrong to do but like

just hit them then

lol

like wehn the stuff actually comes out

anyway im at like 700 gems so im gonna have to grind hard

i gave in and wanted 1 of every battlin boxer card

[dry widget]

that are not going to play granganus!

grand extreme is just a really good card though

was limited even irl not long ago

[robust void]

also i was very sadge that i couldnt use my SR dream ticket on another BB promoter

too recent ig

[hazy crow]

The HERO "nerf" isn't helpful. The skill is the STAPLE not the actual cards kek.

[hazy crow]

[dapper grotto]

True that lmao. Just look at this "HERO" deck. https://www.duellinksmeta.com/top-decks/king-of-games/february-2025/heros/goomba/B43_S

[quick axle]

67500 Gems!?

[dapper grotto]

Ikr? All those Paleos, Pot of Dualities, and E HERO fusions must be one hell of an investment lol

[quick axle]

If you want to make that investment, it would have to take a massive whale to splurge money into the game

[dapper grotto]

It's definitely for veterans only, who have already spent this much gems to get other things on the way there.

Like, I have the whole deck, and didn't intend to play this.

But I might as well, since it's not the usual HEROs.

[quick axle]

And I have stopped playing awhile ago, so what do I know?

[dapper grotto]

I mean, when did you stop?

[quick axle]

Like... A year or two ago?

[dapper grotto]

Then the only challenge is probably getting the structure deck for Armed Neos. I'm sure you have the staples like compulse, Pot of Duality, and Paleos, right?

[quick axle]

Uhhh... pretty sure I'm rather outdated on the staples.

[dapper grotto]

Oh well, you can always substitute with other staples.

[quick axle]

Not that I intend to play the game for the time being. I had my fill awhile ago.

[dapper grotto]

KekW

I've been less committed to KoG these past few months, so I can sympathize.

[sleek garnet]

@half sphinx i figured it out

Next month's list will unhit mirror innovator

So that cyber rush dragon actually has a good target

[half sphinx]

General ygo rush discourse falling to such lows we got a youtuber intervening

[sleek garnet]

ignore the lvl 7 lock on the skill

[half sphinx]

true...

[sleek garnet]

But yea gen ygo kinda has the issue where everyone involved feels like only their vision of stuff is the one that matters

You can bring up literally any other format or game ever and people will tell you to your face that shifter into lancea into thurst set dbarrier is the best thing you could be doing with your life

[half sphinx]

gen ygo is just that random "what is your mentality" "cope" picture personified

I'm sorry

[sleek garnet]

Qww

Guess who said that line

[half sphinx]

lmfao...

this is too good bro

[sleek garnet]

Btw do i buy into the new box for ORR salamanders or do i save for the eventual phoenix deckbuild box?

[half sphinx]

Volcalize gotta wait at least for Phaser no?

so that's mid 2026 at the earliest unless they giga rush him out
