The new cards...... We're going toxic

[pastel lotus]

[spring pebble]

kalma

[pastel lotus]

they are giving red-eyes more of its arc-v burn options

[pastel lotus]

rebfd is only available from equipped skill

i tried searching for it in the cardpool and nothing shows up

level 7 dual (gemini), nothing

[spring pebble]

you can auto duel normal gate now wow

but only 10 per day

[mighty bramble]

Ngl I wanted to build Drytron or give Traptrix another shot but then I saw the aesthetic of the King’s Sarcophagus cards they decided to added and I got hit with a neuron activation

[small fern]

why do i need only a mediocre deck to complete a tag duel on hard

[modest hinge]

hmm still need like one more card but so far i do like this deck

[pastel lotus]

they put in twin twisters as an ai ally card

just like ash blossom and rainbow neos

they give the ai op stuff

[hazy crow]

Man the Red-Eyes deck has reviatalized my interest in Duel Links. Ik its not a meta deck but its so fun

3. Pure red eyes

[timber river]

im working on it, gotta pull the cards

[willow hollow]

Duel link

[river bough]

link into the vrains

[spring pebble]

chat so dead

[small fern]

they have capability to make Tag Duels and duelist kingdom Pegasus very hard, yet don't

capability's shown right in the tag duel partners

[river bough]

do you want hard events?

[dry widget]

yes!

[small fern]

there's specifically a hard mode and it's a snooze

and raid duels don't offer any dueling challenge unfortunately, basically ten turn soccer

[pastel lotus]

there's a difference between hard and time consuming

i don't think ai pegasus's deck has been touched up at all

its a bland rerun

vaguely correlated with the anime, has rewards, now has a character on the mats

it is a low effort event with a minor gimmick

definately not as exciting as riding duels grand prix or action duels

aka konami doesn't run duelist kingdom out of popularity, but rather it is easy filler for the devs to implement

[dapper grotto]

The meat and potatoes of it are definitely the PvP duels. The Pegasus duel is just flavor to get some RNG rewards.

Which is fine tbh. Not everyone has epic sauce decks to win often, so it's a favor to new players ig.

I remember when D.D. Tower had the most frustrating conditions to get their rewards. Those were challenging, but I hated how specific it was.

[pastel lotus]

it was harder because there was less autopilot cards

[dapper grotto]

I think there was an Exodia Necross boss on there where I had to summon it to get the rewards.

[pastel lotus]

and no wild skills that builds up your field

i remember light tower being rather tough

the only generic level 7 f2p synchro was [lightning warrior]

[vivid wave]

Lightning Warrior

LIGHT • Level: 7
[ Warrior / Synchro / Effect ]

ATK 2400 / DEF 1200

Effect

1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters

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

[dapper grotto]

💀

Yeah. Those days make me kinda glad I don't have to buy the latest box to complete the event challenges.

[pastel lotus]

yeah i liked the days where you could duel with random mixtures of cards

where you had to really think to bring out their synergy

yusei's deck was non-archetypal for the most part

although cosmic cyclone was always staple

[dapper grotto]

Random mixtures? I don't really remember much about those days tbh. The furthest I can remember are the days when Naturia Pumpkin was meta.

And Akiza had a simple skill of dumping a plant to the GY.

[pastel lotus]

you could get by without a highly archetypal deck

its really hard to talk about power creep since its hard to come up with grading category for it

[pastel lotus]

dk is a lame event but i do love how often i cheese out wins with merag

so it has one saving grace at least

i'm swapping out my battle trap for a floodgate

i generally try to keep card numbers constant whenever i modify a deck

darn, my ragnainfinity lost timing

lost against shadolls and branded

[naive mango]

this is how u take out dragoon

250 per xyz could still pile up

[fading violet]

How do you obtain the Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon?

[pastel lotus]

its a present

did you beat the tutorial?

[small fern]

i think it'll be in everyone's giftbox along with all current celebrations for at least a month

[pastel lotus]

yh

[fading violet]

I do not think so. I thought it would be a present or a reward.

[pastel lotus]

well you got to get to the part where the game downloads all its data

[fading violet]

Where is it?

[river bough]

in ur giftbox

[sleek garnet]

[pastel lotus]

the daily 10 rounds at the gate can net you 15000 xp points

have to turn on x3 and make sure its all wins

add a powerup for extra insurance

[mighty bramble]

I feel like if the AI would shit itself I definitely made it happen

[naive mango]

yeah 🤣

[alpine vault]

Help fellas

What do I do

For those who don't know me, Im trying to make a Blue Eyes deck

[spring pebble]

maybe the trade in

[sleek garnet]

Do you have the relevant extra deck stuff?

Felgrand and the like

You could also get a staple like droplet

[river bough]

that looks like a SR ticket, droplet is a UR

[dapper grotto]

Maybe Black Rose Moonlight Dragon could be something? Is that available in the SR Dream ticket?

That card is a Blue-eyes Spirit Dragon target iirc.

[sleek garnet]

Oh yea right myb

Yea i'd grab book of eclipse

[river bough]

i would too but if he's specifically trying to make a blue eyes deck and he's missing a specific SR card from that deck, i would go with that missing card instead

[river bough]

can you post ur current blue eyes deck so i can see what you're working with and what i think you should get?

[fading violet]

I learned that I did have Red Eyes Black Dragoon but I had to search for it.

[sleek garnet]

Thing is that blue eyes just, doesnt have any SRs you could grab

Its all either in the new world box which you cant grab, ultimate fusion which he already has, and stuff you can grab in box chips

The extra deck is also like that, you dont even play moonlight anymore either so

[river bough]

Good point. The truth is, blue eyes isn’t worth building at this time. But I would guess that guy is more casual and wants to play his fav deck, not what’s competitive

[hybrid meteor]

Does anyone have a good decklist for swordsoul?

[river bough]

yes

[dapper grotto]

"But I won't show it. It's too cool for you."

Wait...why are they playing Foolish Return? Is it the Branded matchup?

[river bough]

Yes

[pastel lotus]

i'm done with the time filler event

notice how they never compose new pieces of music for it either

[pastel lotus]

i'm sure dlm would have one

a good decklist only means you have 90% staples + key cards at this point

more hand traps and imperm

[dapper grotto]

Why would they? It's the same six elemental areas, alongside the same Pegasus theme in his castle lol. Were you hoping for more PvE stuff, like following the real Duelist Kingdom storyline? Though I think they already did that in their old Duelist Chronicles event.

[hybrid meteor]

I do have this but idk if it would work

[river bough]

The new skill is more optimal for what you’re trying to do

[alpine vault]

Sorry

[alpine vault]

There

Im busy

[river bough]

I think you should use the master of blue eyes skill bc the one you’re using is older

[hybrid meteor]

I’ll use that instead

[spring pebble]

get this card [kaibaman the kegend]

[vivid wave]

Kaibaman the Legend

LIGHT • Level: 1
[ Warrior / Tuner / Effect ]

ATK 200 / DEF 700

Effect

If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can show 3 "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" in your hand, Deck, face-up field, and/or GY, then Special Summon 1 "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" from your hand, Deck, or GY. If you Special Summon "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" while this card is in your GY (except during the Damage Step): You can banish this card; add 1 "Blue-Eyes" monster from your Deck to your hand. You can only use each effect of "Kaibaman the Legend" once per turn.

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

[pastel lotus]

they do for kcc

it shows dk isn't as high priority

i'm hoping for more action duels

that's always fun

it has a more "be happy" vibe

[hybrid meteor]

I have them

You must be talking about Matheus and his blue eyes deck

[mighty bramble]

I really hope we get Dinomorphia sooner or later because I genuinely love how the archetype looks

Seriously it appeals to me as a fan of Power Rangers Dino Thunder

predaplant is the best counter for dragoon

[alpine vault]

And the other cards?

[river bough]

the problem is you're running the optimal build for an older skill, battle chronicle. for that skill, your deck is actually pretty good. but that skill has been powercrept. you should run the "master of blue eyes" skill.

once you run that skill, you will want to pull from this box https://www.konami.com/yugioh/duel_links/en/box/theultimatechaos/

you want 1 copy blue-eyes tyrant, 2 copies of blue-eyes jet, and as many copies of kaibaman the legend

[alpine vault]

Ok

Thank you

[alpine vault]

But hey

Should I chance the Mirror Force?

I could add more monster cards

[river bough]

the limit 1 card you should be running in blue eyes is majesty of the white dragons

[half shell]

No card found for “majesty of the white dragons”

[river bough]

[majesty of the white dragons]

[vivid wave]

Majesty of the White Dragons

Normal Trap

Effect

Show up to 3 of the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" in your hand, face-up Monster Zone, and/or GY, then destroy an equal number of cards your opponent controls. You can banish this card from your GY; Ritual Summon 1 Ritual Monster from your hand, by Tributing "Blue-Eyes White Dragon(s)" from your hand or field whose total Levels equal its Level. You can only use each effect of "Majesty of the White Dragons" once per turn.

[river bough]

can i see ur current build?

[mighty bramble]

Here’s what I have currently for Springans specific stuff

[river bough]

what are you trying to build? i dont know how viable a pure springans deck is

i think exo-sister springan is a thing

dragoon can be easily kaiju'd

unless you play with a skill that has ss restrictions

[mighty bramble]

Does this look okay

[river bough]

i think so

do you have a usual combo / ideal endboard?

[pastel lotus]

no staples

[river bough]

some people like playing with no staples. she should be ok if her board has enough disruptions

[pastel lotus]

i know its still shocking though

i pack 3 copies of non-fusion area now

or couple copies of mispolymerization

[mighty bramble]

But I have a bunch of fusions

[pastel lotus]

yh its tech for non-fusion decks

like my merag

i didn't say it works with your deck

[mighty bramble]

https://tenor.com/view/ehe-anime-gif-anime-girl-teehee-gif-27178660

[pastel lotus]

no one answered my question regarding dragon rulers

[mighty bramble]

I don’t care how pure Springans is compared to the rest of the Branded archetypes I’m enjoying myself

[agile bone]

Check out a decklist from the time and look at every single card.

[river bough]

literally all that matters. very happy for you vivi

[alpine vault]

Hello, I picked new cards and now Im remake my deck

[alpine vault]

Im trying to get Master of Blue Eyes

Is it better?

I removed mirror force and assault wyvern

And I put a new Blue Eyes fusion, forbidden droplet and majesty of wd

[river bough]

nice

[alpine vault]

Is it good?

There a lot of magics

Maybe I can remove the swords

And put another Effect Vieler or Jet BE

[mighty bramble]

I threw my Springans deck onto Serenity for the sake of getting Gems but tbh I’m not really vibing with her now

[river bough]

yes

[river bough]

yes

[alpine vault]

I lost 3 times

Of 7

[alpine vault]

How I can use the Blue Eyes Maidens?

[pastel lotus]

what was the time?

2011?

2013?

[pastel lotus]

event doesn't end until jst 01/21

exactly 3 weeks into the month

then nasch

[mighty bramble]

The RNG Gods sensed that I wanted to build Drytrons and rewarded me

[river bough]

after duelist kingdom is Immi Imimi's re-run for go rush and legacy duels

then nash's event

[naive mango]

so basically shit events

[alpine vault]

[river bough]

legacy duels are fun imo 🤷🏽‍♂️

[alpine vault]

Im thinking about what I can do

There a lot of counters to Blue Eyes

[river bough]

yes unfortunately you decided to build blue-eyes after it is no longer the best deck

[alpine vault]

Shit

Well, I think on something

What would you put?

In your opinion

[river bough]

every card that i marked with red is what i would take out, personally

but again you are not playing the optimized blue-eyes skill either

[alpine vault]

K, for the Magicians I don't have a substitute

[alpine vault]

Levels

Trying to get

Canadia saves a lot

Let me see what I can do

Hang on

[river bough]

if you find it helpful, then please keep it in

remember you know your deck and playstyle better than i do

[river bough]

this is my blue-eyes deck to give you an idea of what i run. but this is not a real optimized list either, bc for ex: neo-blue eyes ultimate or blue-eyes twin aren't the best extra deck options. but i run them bc its blue-eyes and a little more lore accurate with how i think kaiba would play. i try to mix that in with a competitive build. but everyone plays differently

[mighty bramble]

How many of Mu Beta do I need for Drytron

[modest hinge]

hmm guess this will do

[spring pebble]

no extra deck?

[modest hinge]

blue eyes doesn't have it's fusion cards yet in duel links rush.
there is five headed dragon i guess but well... that isn't worth using your legendary spell slot for.

also it seems like the skill the deck uses is a bit bugged atm and can cause crashes...

[spring pebble]

is that good rn in rush?

plan to build a rush deck later soon

[modest hinge]

it's ok i guess not really sure what meta is currently, real easy to start with a seven roads fusion deck though.

here's mine

[sleek garnet]

2 is the most common amount

[pastel lotus]

i haven't seen any drytron players in ranked

the anniversary gift hi-jacked the box cards

[pastel lotus]

i spent 2000 gems on the selection box

didn't get any sr/ur i wanted

when your luck is bad, you make the mistake of thinking it will fix itself if you just a give it a few more gos...

[spring pebble]

same, wanted branded stuff and got horus

[pastel lotus]

10 is my limit

anymore is just fool's gold

this is why komoney is serious about not implementing trading

probability is always some really small number that is never on your side

[pastel lotus]

a ed beater gift card and sd that requires no probability or currency to obtain versus an archetype you need to heavily spend on its box for the pieces

[agile bone]

2013ish

[dapper grotto]

Pulled my third Branded Fusion from the UR sale.

[alpine vault]

I have a lot of great combos that I can do with those cards

[alpine vault]

Yes I know... But I see the inconsistency of this deck

Gonna try to get the Blue Eyes ability

[alpine vault]

This deck is amazing, Jesus Christ.

The sad part is that I don't have the most of these cards

[pastel lotus]

i just read this instead

https://www.reddit.com/r/Yugioh101/comments/12izyq6/what_is_so_good_about_dragon_rulers_everyone_says/

It all comes down to how you want to define ‘best deck’

There is an argument to calling them the best deck because of how they alone changed card design going forward. There was a huge shift in the game once lord of the tachyon galaxy dropped, marking the point most see as the transition from ‘old school yugioh’ to ‘new school yugioh’. The impact they’ve had on the game is monumental, which isn’t something many decks can say.

That said, if you’re looking at it in regards to overall strength compared to all other decks, they’ve definitely fallen off a bit. While they absolutely warped the game when they where released, making a rank 7 and passing isn’t exactly good enough anymore. There’s plenty of other dragon support cards to help them get going, but as card design has changed to let cards do more and more, they, as an individual deck, don’t hold up as much as they used to. They’re still fantastic cards that decks would love to splash them into if they can.```

i only entered yugioh since arc-v started so

i think the real turning point for new school yugioh was putting lots of quick effects on xyz

dragon rulers don't have super rejuvenation here

[pastel lotus]

i decide to time how long it takes a duel to progress

my first turn i just set 2 cards, no interruptions from me during their turn, i can't remember if animations played or not i was very afk at the time, relying on sound effect cues only

i start recording at the word duel and end when the opponent starts their bp

i need to edit my name out sorry

anniversary box?

[sleek garnet]

The 3 packs + 1 ur for 50 crystals thing

[spring pebble]

ah, I thought they will release the anniversary box

[dapper grotto]

I am in pain rn.

None of my Rush decks have been pushing me to KoG ATM. It's been a week since I've been at Gold 5.

Music Princess bricks too hard, Jointech can't beat anything super big with big defense as well.

And I do not have Bubble Actresses. 🙁

[sleek garnet]

Sounds like a job for sevens road

[small fern]

wonder how much Pegasus has blurring of memory in Duel Links, clearly not to the same degree as Marik

[modest hinge]

try that one new level 8 skill for dimesion linker yet?
bit buggy but saw some having luck with it on the subreddit for duel links.
you got a few options like blue eyes bright dragon or gray storm reverie.

as for bright dragons 2nd effect you can use luster dragon to get get around the skill's limitation due to it being a normal legend.

[dapper grotto]

Don't you also need the new Legend monster from the new deck build box?

[modest hinge]

Legend monsters don't show up in boxes, they tend to be given free/rank duels/ non box tickets.

any level 8 light monster with 2500 attack will work honestly

this is what i have atm

[pastel lotus]

nasch event data implementation

change of subject, why does kaiba have animation with vampire lord?

ok so vampire lord was in this sd:

https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Structure_Deck:_Kaiba

it only appeared in dm ep 114, 115, 116

which are all in s5

it didn't exist in takahashi's manga

so dm already referenced gallop dm anime-only content before 2025

[timber river]

ik Kaiba used it when he dueled Noah

[agile bone]

It was also because it was a meta card in Duel Links at one point, I believe.

[quick axle]

Branded Fusion in Duel Links is a [Mistake].

[vivid wave]

Mistake

Continuous Trap

Effect

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

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

[quick axle]

Way too overpowered to be at Limited 3 alone.

I haven't played the game in awhile, but looiking at the sidelines, I can tell that this card alone has propelled Branded into undisputed Tier 1 status.

And with both Branded Opening and Aluber being untouched, well... consistency isn't even a worry.

I think it's probably staying that way until the February KC Cup

[pastel lotus]

not to mention imperm, eclipse, and droplets

i don't need dl to suddenly dress up like md

[quick axle]

Yeah, power creep is a thing.

[pastel lotus]

i am wondering if i should splash [unicorn beacon] in my merag deck

Also, still from prior experience, DL still feels super P2W.

[pastel lotus]

retrieval from banished

[quick axle]

And now they added Ghost Belle to Selection Boxes... how much time before DL gets Ash Blossom?

[pastel lotus]

it was a tag tournament ai card

and you know what the last tag tournament brought in?

twin twisters

[quick axle]

Then probably Ash Blossom should come soon.

Maybe for the japanese anniversary?

[pastel lotus]

its in game data but not released

many such cases

spyral, honest, shining phoenixguy, etc

[quick axle]

Makes sense.

And even then, some of those cards are now fine with the current power ceiling.

Although... Twin Twisters could be a tad busted.

Since it's like TTH but for Spells and Traps.

[pastel lotus]

i don't think its power, i think its just a tendency for komoney to hold iconic anime cards hostage

took 9 years to get lord of the red

where's ritual church, ancient forest, etc?

[quick axle]

Yeah, so many examples, honestly.

I just came to chat mainly because of the impact that Branded Fusion brought to the game.

[pastel lotus]

hey trunade still banned

would dl ever offer torrential tribute as an anniversary reward?

mirror force was a board breaker but its a battle trap so removal/negates always dance circles around it

[quick axle]

This year we got Dark Dragoon.

Which I may say, it's not going to be nearly as influential as people may think.

[pastel lotus]

i think the hype maybe over already

i already watched a mekklord video explaining why it is not that good

[quick axle]

Yeah. Dark Dragoon may be annoying to deal with, but we have tools to deal with that, and besides, the only reliable way to summon it, is Red-Eyes Fusion.

Which foregoes your Special Summon for the entire turn.

[pastel lotus]

also we have kaijus

anyone without special summoning restrictions can play that

[quick axle]

Yep.

Like, we got back Cocytus.

That card isn't nearly as dangerous nowadays.

[pastel lotus]

both of dragoon's effects are non-targetting

it itself does not float

[quick axle]

Cocytus is still immune to destruction, mind you.

[pastel lotus]

problem is most endboard is dragoon and lord together

[quick axle]

Lord?

Which Lord?

[pastel lotus]

red

[quick axle]

[Lord of the Red]

[vivid wave]

Lord of the Red

FIRE • Level: 8
[ Dragon / Ritual / Effect ]

ATK 2400 / DEF 2100

You can Ritual Summon this card with "Red-Eyes Transmigration". Once per turn, when a card or effect is activated, except "Lord of the Red" (Quick Effect): You can target 1 monster on the field; destroy it. Once per turn, when a card or effect is activated, except "Lord of the Red" (Quick Effect): You can target 1 Spell/Trap on the field; destroy it.

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

[pastel lotus]

new skill called red-eyes armament

[quick axle]

Ah, OK.

So this won't spend the effect of Red-Eyes Fusion, I guess.

Probably it places Lord on the field, which doesn't count towards summoning it.

Is that correct?

[pastel lotus]

You can use this Skill's first and second effects once per Duel if your Deck contains a total of 15 or more "Red-Eyes" cards and/or "Lord of the Red".
1: Reveal 1 "Red-Eyes Black Dragon", "Lord of the Red", or "Red-Eyes Transmigration" from your hand and add 1 "Lord of the Red" or "Red-Eyes Transmigration" from your Deck to your hand. Then, you can add 1 "Red-Eyes" card from your Deck to your hand.
2: If you control a "Red-Eyes" monster, or your opponent controls a monster, add 1 of the 5 monsters from outside your Deck to your hand, send the rest to the Graveyard, then add 1 "Polymerization" from outside your Deck to your hand.

i don't really remember how they assemble their board now

[quick axle]

Me neither. I'm just going for second hand experience.

[pastel lotus]

mostly i just web browse when it is the opp's turn

and i have voice turned off to accelerate the experience

either way i think it will stick in the lower ranks

[timber river]

they play 3 [Red-Eyes Black Meteor Dragon] to get a red-eyes on field turn 1 so they can use the second effect

[vivid wave]

Red-Eyes Black Meteor Dragon

DARK • Level: 6
[ Dragon / Effect ]

ATK 2000 / DEF 2000

Effect

You can send 1 Level 5 or higher Normal Monster from your hand or Deck to the GY; Special Summon this card from your hand, then increase its Level by 1. During your Main Phase, except the turn this card was sent to the GY: You can banish this card from your GY; add 1 "Red-Eyes Fusion" from your Deck or GY to your hand. You can only use each effect of "Red-Eyes Black Meteor Dragon" once per turn.

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

[pastel lotus]

also you have to watch the fusion materials carefully

it can use its destruction effect 2 times if they used 2 normals as material

garnets otherwise

arc-v gen (tcg/ocg) really upgraded a lot of dm era monsters, and most of those cards are already in dl

like the buster blader fusions

[modest hinge]

hmm not bad

[young viper]

Bro trying to get Jaden/Yubel is pmo

I got 1 last quest then I get him

[mighty bramble]

I think the next deck I’m gonna build is gonna be Eldlitch

[river bough]

i love eldlich, do it

[pastel lotus]

almost out of battery

could someone read this and tell me if it is an accurate review or overview of duel links?

what are some paragraphs i should consider to further refining?

i don't want dive too heavily into specific eras of the game's history

[river bough]

good read tbh

[pastel lotus]

who remembers nurse burn?

[dapper grotto]

Yes.

I'm glad it's gone in DL.

But we now have stupid FTKs happening. I pray for all the burn cards to go away.

At least, the soft once per turn and repeatable burn cards.

[pastel lotus]

i count burn as an alternative won condition

its fine in my book

i loved using blizzard falcon's effect

that's a hopt card

i like it better than ss fest

although using galaxy wave with twelve beasts would be burning by ss'ing

🤔 haven't decided how i really feel about that

i might pack the card in ice birds

750 + 250 = 1000

also we have full armored crystal zero lancer

[mighty bramble]

Would it be a decent idea to build Thunder Dragons since their most recent stuff is in the same set as Eldlitch and I’m already trying to build that

[pastel lotus]

board ded

[rain aspen]

What's a good budget option for Magnum Overlord in DL?

I've got 1 copy of the SR and 3 of each the L & R.

[pastel lotus]

nasch new skill adds 20 cards to the extra deck

much higher than even the upper limit for ed in the ocg/tcg

[dapper grotto]

Even higher than our Hero Jaden Yuki's skill.

[potent ravine]

there really isnt, you need all of the copies unless you're just doing it for fun

[pastel lotus]

here's an easy out to nasch though

[numeral hunter]

[vivid wave]

Numeral Hunter

LIGHT • Level: 4
[ Warrior / Effect ]

ATK 1600 / DEF 1400

Effect

If this card is Summoned: Return all "Number" Xyz Monsters on the field to the Extra Deck. Neither player can Special Summon "Number" Xyz Monsters. Cannot be destroyed by battle with an Xyz Monster. This card is unaffected by the effects of Xyz Monsters.

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

[pastel lotus]

also nasch's skill doesn't let you level cheat

which was something possible under merag

you still have to put the correct level monsters on field or one of those monster with exception clauses written in

"can be treated as..."

[rain aspen]

I just need 2 more copies.

I honestly only want to use it because it looks cool

[river bough]

this is insanity

they keep finding a way to make these skills more absurd

[pastel lotus]

pretty much all shounen anime does this

12 are the over-hundred numbers and their chaos xyz versions (except nasch's own)

8 is the other stuff

1: At the beginning of the Duel, add 1 "Black Ray Lancer", 1 "Full Armored Black Ray Lancer", 1 "Full Armored Crystalzero Lancer", 1 "Number 102: Star Seraph Sentry", 1 "Number 103: Ragnazero", 1 "Number 104: Masquerade", 1 "Number 105: Battlin' Boxer Star Cestus", 1 "Number 106: Giant Hand", 1 "Number 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon", 1 "Number 32: Shark Drake", 1 "Number 73: Abyss Splash", 1 "Number 94: Crystalzero", 1 "Number C102: Archfiend Seraph", 1 "Number C103: Ragnafinity", 1 "Number C104: Umbral Horror Masquerade", 1 "Number C105: Battlin' Boxer Comet Cestus", 1 "Number C106: Giant Red Hand", 1 "Number C107: Neo Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon", 1 "Number C32: Shark Drake Veiss" and 1 "Number C73: Abyss Supra Splash" to your Extra Deck from outside your Deck.
2: During this Duel, you cannot Normal or Special Summon monsters, except Fish monsters and Xyz Monsters. If your opponent has a card on their field or in their Graveyard, you can Normal Summon 1 monster during your Main Phase in addition to your Normal Summon/Set.
3: Can be used before your normal draw. Barian Battlemorph! Regain your true form! Place 1 "Rank-Up-Magic - The Seventh One" at the top of your Deck from outside your Deck.
4: Reveal 1 Level 5 Fish Monster in your hand and add up to 2 "Xyz Revive Splash" and/or "Shark" Fish monsters from your Deck to your hand, then send 1 card from your hand to the Graveyard.``` textdump

[abyss supra splash]

[vivid wave]

Number C73: Abyss Supra Splash

WATER • Rank: 6
[ Warrior / Xyz / Effect ]

ATK 3000 / DEF 2000

Effect

3 Level 6 monsters
If a monster you control battles an opponent's monster, during damage calculation (Quick Effect): You can detach 1 material from this card once per battle; your battling monster gains ATK equal to the ATK of the opponent's monster it is battling, during that damage calculation only. If this card has "Number 73: Abyss Splash" as material, it gains this effect.
●This card cannot be destroyed by card effects.

[pastel lotus]

ok its pretty much an on-field honest

yoshida-ness is so predictable

i still wonder if nasch will suddenly be eligible for all the previous barian used numbers ace animations

it will be exhausting to farm

[pastel lotus]

there's no fish ace monsters with the current set of chars

[mighty bramble]

Just encountered this while grinding for gems and I either destroyed a beginner or this guy meant to go into Legacy Duels

[sleek garnet]

aint this the tutorial deck?

[mighty bramble]

Just immediately destroyed a Blue-Eyes user. They only summoned Alternative with no backrow and I had Albaz ready to go. I was using Springans in case anyone is wondering.

[dapper grotto]

Were you in Rookie or something?

[mighty bramble]

Yes

[river bough]

That’s why

[mighty bramble]

How’s this look

[pastel lotus]

chat ded

[pastel lotus]

maybe nasch will make something come up

[mighty bramble]

Would I be okay running two of Eldlitch for his deck

[dapper grotto]

Yeah, it fine.

Taking a break from Rush and just playing Branded to get to Plat quickly.

That's how bad it was in the current Rush Duel format.

[pastel lotus]

why was pot of greed ok in rd?

[mighty bramble]

How’s this look

[dry widget]

well, pot of greed isnt ok in the tcg mainly because it has no deckbuilding cost, there's almost no reason not to max on it. in rush duel it does have one, it's fair because it's a legend so you can't play any other legend spell with it
(although it is still generally the strongest/most commonly played legend spell both in duel links and irl rush at the moment, although this is format-dependent and greed was bad in past formats)
similar principle applies to genesys, greed is rarely played because it costs 30 points so it competes with other pointed generics

[mighty bramble]

Oh

[sleek garnet]

drawing 2 cards also isnt as impactful in the game designed around players drawing 5 every turn

[dry widget]

sort of, every deck has some amount of innate draw power via the draw phase, but having immediate draw power and having 6 cards in hand instead of 5 for the turn is still a very big deal and greed is very strong

[hazy crow]

I dont want to comment, i was banned typing that archetype name.......

[pastel lotus]

thank you for explaining to me that it competes with other legend cards and is thus secretly a limit 1

[hazy crow]

I still hope we get to have chat in DUEL LINKS again.

[pastel lotus]

why?

its just full of bots

[hazy crow]

So I can chat with my countrymen peeps hahaha

I seldom get to pvp with my own country in DL kek

[pastel lotus]

like komoney ever does anything for the players that isn't an anniversary gift

no trading allowed

it not only makes sures everyone buys from komoney, but also one less thing/dispute they would have to monitor

no transaction between players

[hazy crow]

Agreed. Those bots sending links was annoying..

I didn't know you can trade in DL??

Oh Account trade?

[pastel lotus]

i was explaining why they never added it

an online game they can control easily a card's fluidity more than a real-life medium

[hazy crow]

I like the video game format more than real life YGO

You can actually appreciate the CHAIN effects happening and not get confused

[pastel lotus]

i paid 2000 gems for the chance to get tzolkin

[hazy crow]

OMG same. Im planning to get Diviner

End up getting Sarcopag 1 each lol

Not my cup of tea at the moment but....

[pastel lotus]

i still can't get the 1600 attack twelve beasts

[hazy crow]

Wait whats that?

[pastel lotus]

from destiny zodiac

i don't use tcg names

the xyz has no stats of their own

[hazy crow]

Hahaha

[pastel lotus]

needs a lot of overlay materials to gain stats

[hazy crow]

Yeah, but one of their XYZ can attack directly so..... Overlay investment

[pastel lotus]

its cute for galaxy wave burn

its on youtube

[hazy crow]

Im testing Tri-Brigade with Zoo but I dont have much zoo cards haha

[hazy crow]

Ill check this one

I just end up with TriBrigade Shinobird hahaha

[mighty bramble]

What happened

[hazy crow]

I over used their archetype name

[pastel lotus]

new char event starts wednesday night

[river bough]

great deck name

[spring pebble]

@hearty maple

[mighty bramble]

Thx

[pastel lotus]

update underway

[quick axle]

Aaaaand the February updates are less than stellar.

Only a Marin rerun and the KC Cup.

[dry widget]

nash already cuts so deep into the month hes basically a feb unlock, and the kc cup is a long event that eats the rest of the month yeah

[mighty bramble]

Springans gonna dominate the current raid methinks

[pastel lotus]

i still remember feb 2022

it was anna

number 106, 107, and 101 are all box cards

the other 4 can be earned as gate drops or level-up milestones

girag was the first to debute in dl, mizael has a 3000 dragon, and nasch was the leader of the whole outfit

[numeral hunter]

[vivid wave]

[hearty maple]

Hi guys

So I am playing yuseis deck

I could make it to legend rank for the first time

Got to level 2 and then was returned to level 1 as I dueled against despia and blue eyes

🥲

[hearty maple]

Where are bread and KT

[dapper grotto]

💀

Got the Archosaur that I already have a playset of

[wanton void]

Finally starting to get the shit i need

[dusty lily]

Anyone here?

[river bough]

yea

todays pull

[lucid gorge]

are they ever gonna fix the crashing bug?

[mighty bramble]

This is one of those cards I have a soft spot for and I wish I had more opportunities to use it

[dry widget]

which crashing bug?

[river bough]

new ios update appears to have fixed it on iphones

[lucid gorge]

i see

ill update later ig

[wanton void]

Is it a good deck?

[lucid gorge]

is nash actually unlockable?

[quick axle]

Tomorrow.

[lucid gorge]

HE HAS SURFACING???

god i want to play water xyz again so bad

[dapper grotto]

I spent 40 bucks on a new deck, only to KoG with the old one

[sleek garnet]

Many such cases

[small fern]

one of faker's lines is misattributed to yuma

[sleek garnet]

It might be intentional, faker doesnt show up in the event at all

[dusty lily]

I haven't played in like a year is this still good?

[sleek garnet]

Same thing happened in a sevens event

It could get you to kog sure

Might want to switch the non engine tho

[dusty lily]

English? Lol

Non engine?

[sleek garnet]

Staples, in other words

You want stuff to beat branded

So d.d. crows, droplet, etc

[dusty lily]

Got a pic? I'm pretty rusty

Probably my best decks ATM lol

I have like 3k gems and sr/ur tickets I haven't used what box should I focus on?

[dusty lily]

What's with the crystal they added a new currency? How's that work out

[sleek garnet]

Its just a replacement for real currency, if you are f2p it changes nothing for you

[sleek garnet]

https://www.duellinksmeta.com/tier-list#top-tiers

Rn the decks are branded and whatever doesnt instantly lose to branded

There's a new box tomorrow tho

Which has some pretty decent stuff

[dusty lily]

I remember wen there was only 3 boxes and 1500 was max attack for a 4* lol

Lvadragon was my first kog lol then dinos

New Red eyes structure seems to be pretty good should I x3 ?

[sleek garnet]

Its pretty bad tbh

It is better than what you got rn but i wouldnt recommend it

[dusty lily]

I'm ftp so I'm thinking it's probably my best bet I've already got the free one and I have 1k for a second

My red eyes ATM lol

[sleek garnet]

https://www.duellinksmeta.com/top-decks/king-of-games/january-2026/red-eyes/kasg/bMCBp

This looks alright for a f2p ig

[dusty lily]

I only have one dragon fusion I think

[sleek garnet]

You can get black metal dragons and mirrors with box chips

So they dont require you to use gems

[dusty lily]

I don't think I have the link cards either lol

[sleek garnet]

Seals is a bundle and the rest are pretty much flex slots

Except striker dragon you need that one

But its an R

[dusty lily]

So no dm required?

[sleek garnet]

Yea the skill gives you one

[dusty lily]

O kool

What character

[sleek garnet]

Joey (alt style)

[dusty lily]

Dsod joe

[sleek garnet]

Dm joey

Win 5 duels with him and you unlock his battle city fit

[dusty lily]

Hmm I'll have to look into that

I haven't played in forever lol I'm still rusty AF can't remember card names.... Miss playing stuff... Lol

I re install yesterday and have only played few matches before work

I tried my noble knight deck and was messing up all my plays same with Ghia and heros lol

Just for fun lol

They limited gravity axe ruined my original build

Was originally a lock down deck dark hole , gravity axe....

[mighty bramble]

Guys we’re getting P.U.N.K. in the next set, should I be scared

[sleek garnet]

Nah they dont have their 3rd wave

[quick axle]

We're getting Rising Scale for some reason.

But without most of the third wave stuff.

[pastel lotus]

i sold my dragoon for orbs

yeah

that's how much i valued it

1 ur orb proved to be more important to me in the grand scheme of things

[river bough]

seems like a foolish move on your part imo

[marsh kraken]

xD

but maybe the other cards comes later right ?

i have seen that in other decks cards comes in different boxes

btw im returning player now i start download my old account i dont know if i should make new

[dusty lily]

For red eyes armament I need 15 or more red eyes cards does that count spells and traps or just monsters?

Extra deck?

[marsh kraken]

the max number of gems you can have is 9.999 ? expect your gift box ?

[dusty lily]

I think so

[dusty lily]

I don't have a bunch of stuff like the link monsters... But this seems to at least be playable need to test it more

[dapper grotto]

Maybe add another Red-eyes Black Meteor Dragon and Red-eyes Black Dragon. I don't think Red-eyes Baby Dragon is really needed.

[lucid gorge]

it didnt

im still crashing

[pastel lotus]

only if i was a meta sheep

i dared to do the unthinkable

i don't need it to dominate my opp

besides, using it bars you from using other l1 cards anyways

[pastel lotus]

i got a glossy shooting quazar dragon!

best dream pack pull so far

[lucid gorge]

all of my dream packs have been useless lol

i wish it let you like select a box or something

is there any way to stop nash's ai from walling up

and tbh im still struggling against those level 900/1k bots, any way to make my deck better at pumping out damage quicker so i can actually kill it? full turn, maybe?

[full turn]

[vivid wave]

Action Magic - Full Turn

Quick-Play Spell

Effect

This turn, double any battle damage that a player takes from battles involving 2 monsters. During your Main Phase, if this card is in your GY, except the turn this card was sent to the GY: You can discard 1 Spell; Set this card.

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

[sleek garnet]

A sheep is merely someone who lets the meta dictate what they play

[lucid gorge]

too broke for that life fr

[sleek garnet]

By going out of your way to intentionally never get one, you're actually doing the same thing

[lucid gorge]

i do sorta want to play shark now

i really hope water xyz as a package (spesficially buzzsaw) is old enough to be in chips nowadays

damn

its not

[sleek garnet]

Crazy that chips still havent entered the zexal era

D.d. crow would be real nice for new accounts

[lucid gorge]

theres the playset of both the good cards from this event

i need shark drake leviess fr

[river bough]

the reason i like dragoon is its perfect for autoduel deck

97% of the standard duelists nor legendary duelists have anyway to stop it

even vagabond has a hard time if it doesnt have its own

[lucid gorge]

open level 1k assist duel
brick
do nothing
reap the rewards

im just like a 1%er smile

[pastel lotus]

you could say the same for the other red-eyes fusions

anyways, i parted with what i didn't need

at all

[river bough]

i mean not really lol

no other red eyes fusion is untargetable, cant be destroyed by card effects, and has an omni negate

dragoon was specifically made to be an overpowered card lol

[pastel lotus]

yeah its pretty pesky for only 2 materials

it doesn't help branded win more though

i kept rainbow neos though

[river bough]

they're def gonna make something in the branded ED limit 1 after KC so you cant play dragoon in branded anymore

neos + dragoon is the perfect autoduel deck

not even the idiot autoduel ai can mess up turn 1: R-Neos/Dragoon, Turn 2: the other one you didn't summon on t1

[pastel lotus]

its not?

they use totally different cards to ss them out

that's mashing 4 bricks together

[river bough]

3 red eyes insight, 3 red eyes fusion, 3 neos fusion, 3 keeper of dragon magic

in a 20 card deck, 12 of your cards either lead you to dragoon or r-neos

[pastel lotus]

but yes i can see how its harder to misplay a monster they can't normal summon

[river bough]

the odds are 98.6% that in your 4‑card starting hand contains at least one of these cards

and considering most of the pve duelists have no way of dealing with dragoon or neos, turboing it out on t1 is basically a guaranteed win

[pastel lotus]

power creep

[river bough]

i dont think they've updated those pve decks in years

like a standard duelist even at lv 60 cannot deal with dragoon or neos

[pastel lotus]

there is a bujin deck with xyz and without xyz

so yeah

but a lot stuff rams through ai duelists

like noah

[quick axle]

Oh, dear... this somehow reminds me of Restart and Balance.

Before they got nerfed into the ground.

[pastel lotus]

it was noble knights (seikishi)

[quick axle]

Yes. Noble Knights were the last straw.

After that, they nerfed Balance, Restart, and every single skill that would have given them a ledge...

[pastel lotus]

but only stuff that altered your opening hand

[quick axle]

That's what I meant.

This leads me to wonder... if Balance and Restart were unnerfed... would they do anything in the current skill economy?

[pastel lotus]

they don't let you build board for free

but maybe sky strikers would still use them, idk

skills themselves would be just fine if the archetypes or staples didn't become too powerful

mind scan stopped being an op skill

but i guess it because it was an extremely passive skill that doesn't give you the outs to the opp's board

we have 9 years worth of skills now

[quick axle]

Yeah.

Also, Destiny Draw? The one skill that people clamored to be nerfed further? Completely outclassed.

[pastel lotus]

we went from probability manipulation to just card subsidy

i think that yusei skill was when the change felt evident

[quick axle]

Starlight Road, right?

[pastel lotus]

https://yugipedia.com/wiki/A_Bond_Illuminates_the_Future

[quick axle]

I see.

Yeah, the skills became more and more about giving you the cards for the advantage-

But sometimes, Konami does this in the very wrong way.

[pastel lotus]

for a faux-anime feel

[quick axle]

Tachyon Dragon Domination, anyone?

[pastel lotus]

yeah i forgot what i did during that era

[quick axle]

It was overwhelmingly oppressive, with a guaranteed FTK, even.

From my understanding.

[pastel lotus]

i think merag was pretty oppressive too, in her own way

she had a free attack wipe

then a blanket effect wipe of all face up cards

a monster that was a trap hole with a draw

tachyon era sucked but we didn't have branded or despia

and what about harpie era, where it was free monster removal whenever you used a backrow card

[quick axle]

I was there, I remember.

I played Harpie.

[pastel lotus]

it wasn't fueled by a mom said skill, right?

[quick axle]

And I remember using [Number 18: Heraldic Patriarch] for the mirror.

[vivid wave]

Number 18: Heraldry Patriarch

LIGHT • Rank: 4

Harpie's Hunting Ground was directly set onto the field... and then it was added to your initial hand as a nerf, IIRC.

also that dsod yugi gandora skill deck

[quick axle]

Oh, dear... [Spellbook of Fate] flashbacks.

I was there too.

If I recall correctly, I kinda stopped playing around the Arc-V era.

Went back briefly in the VRAINS era... and then I stopped playing.

[pastel lotus]

i wish i could have played the rio event and paradox event, but real life prevented me to

i think i started replaying in march 2023 iirc

when z-one event running

i made this deck for z-one during yugo event release

it makes sense if you knew the context

[quick axle]

Explanation?

[pastel lotus]

despair

also the year elon morphed twitter for the worst

my laptop out of battery

[mighty bramble]

Got em

[pastel lotus]

how do i win against mikanko?

besides not summoning anything

nvm i just killed it when they went into a link to destroy my set card

[dusty lily]

I tightened it up made it 20 cards not what I see on line for this deck but working pretty good for me

I don't have a bunch of stuff so this will have to do I think

[river bough]

imo you should not be running red-eyes fusion, or the summoned skull as u can get that from the skill

[dusty lily]

Kool I went back to a fatter version now seems to be doing better

[river bough]

polymerization is kind of a wasted card since it comes with the skill too

[dusty lily]

I had to add a little help from serenity lol

I normally use it with the skill the other for warrior fusion

[river bough]

ok

obviously, you should play the way you want and you may just need to build with the cards you have

[dusty lily]

Yah kinda I'm up for ideas no good link monsters only one dragon fusion...

[river bough]

do you have striker dragon and boot sector launch?

[dusty lily]

I'm behind the meta haven't played in year or more. Got a pic?

[river bough]

[boot sector launch]

[vivid wave]

Boot Sector Launch

if it helps, this is my list:

[dusty lily]

Maybe but probably not I don't have much in way of links and rocket

Yah I don't have em

[river bough]

i would try to get them, if you can

ideally, you normal summon black metal dragon, link into striker dragon, grab boot sector launch and a red-eyes darkness from black metal dragon going to GY. banish striker to special summon darkness and use boot sector launch as a discard for your dragoon's negate

[dusty lily]

Is this better or worse than red eyes?

I'll have to look into it. Was thinking of grinding second dragon fusion could use most of the cards in that box anyway

[river bough]

i'm not sure if heros or red eyes is "better". they may both be on the same lvl. if you're trying to pick one or the other, pick the one you think you're better with

[dusty lily]

Main draw for red eyes for me is the dm/red eyes fusion lol

[river bough]

then play with red-eyes

[dusty lily]

D)(contact got some up's though higher attack and can swarm pretty good

[river bough]

then play with heros

[dusty lily]

We got surfacing tho

[lucid gorge]

at least 3x abyss shark is free

[sleek garnet]

Skill gets you to everything so

Droll is also the best handtrap arguably

[lucid gorge]

tbh i might dream up a droll or two

[sleek garnet]

You can use this Skill's second and third effects once per Duel if your Extra Deck contains 2 different "Number 101" Xyz Monsters and "CXyz Barian Hope".
1: At the beginning of the Duel, add 20 different Xyz Monsters to your Extra Deck. During this Duel, you can only Normal or Special Summon Fish monsters and Xyz Monsters, and you can Normal Summon 1 monster during your Main Phase in addition to your Normal Summon/Set.
2: Reveal 1 Level 5 Fish monster from your hand. Add up to 2 "Shark" Fish monsters or "Xyz Revive Splash" cards from your Deck to your hand, then send 1 card from your hand to the Graveyard.
3: Can be used before your normal draw. Barian Battlemorph! Regain your true form! One of the cards from your normal draw this turn will be "Rank-Up-Magic - The Seventh One" from outside your Deck.

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

[sleek garnet]

yea you can

[lucid gorge]

huh

we cant search this

[sleek garnet]

anti branded tech, since you can always target the BiR set by albion

also yea only the old skill could add this

i assume its a leftover

[lucid gorge]

so like

ig ill just run cosmic cyclone instead

[sleek garnet]

i'd use MSTs if you have that instead

masquarade is still around

[lucid gorge]

oh trust me i would too

why rhand? we arent crooked cooking

i assume buzzsaw isnt getting reprinted in this box

also im suprised seventh tacyon isnt a ur

[sleek garnet]

Level 4 for buzzsaw

Tho idt you need it post big jaws

[sleek garnet]

https://www.duellinksmeta.com/articles/sets/ark-of-seventh

also ngl, i think seventh is a lot weaker when skills do the searching for you

yes it turns big jaws into a starter but idt that's really necessary

Also ngl i should try staright drive sometime this looks funny as shit

[lucid gorge]

guard penguin 😭

w bridge bro

w bridge

BEEFY boy

[modest hinge]

oh dear what does one even cut for new stuff?

[lucid gorge]

OH MY GOD

I PULLED SILENT HONOR ARK FIRST 10 PULL

[lucid gorge]

whats the new skilled called

[sleek garnet]

barian battlemorph leader of the seven

dont forget the bundles btw

[lucid gorge]

ah

crap

i totally just went for the box 😭

[pastel lotus]

i still dk why battle break is a l1 when no one plays it

[mighty bramble]

Does anyone know if Mizar has voicelines for the new Tachyon stuff

[pastel lotus]

no one datamines here

[mighty bramble]

I mean it’s literally out now

[pastel lotus]

pretty sure no one from komoney has asked his va to record extra lines with the update

this being my supposition, anyways

don't forget this is a mostly ded board outside of leaks discussion

[pastel lotus]

now i am going to share trivia:

out of the 7 barians, only mizael, vector, and nasch has a raid duel menu theme

out of the 7 barians, only girag, mizael, and nasch has their ace monster associated with a box

nasch

mizael

vector

oh this server have boosts

that's why i was able to upload these

praise the cosmic entity for 50mb uploads

https://tenor.com/view/smurfici-gif-26998909

[mighty bramble]

Any idea which of Nash’s unique skills would be used the most

[sleek garnet]

This one if i had to guess

[river bough]

the one that puts 20 cards in the xtra deck, its unlocked at lvl 20

[wanton void]

Traptrix mentioned!!!!

https://tenor.com/view/columbina-gif-11031011028401917270

[mighty bramble]

Would Xyz Hydroraze be a decent skill to use on Nash until I get his really busted one

[dusty lily]

Got a second dragon mirror what else does this deck need besides the link monsters?

[mighty bramble]

Randomly thinking about what the first batch from the Visas Starfrost lore we’d get would be

[sleek garnet]

Chronological order probably

So scareclaw > tearlament > kashtira > mannadium

[mighty bramble]

I’m guessing it’s a similar case with Branded lore too

[pastel lotus]

number 38 is in the game

[hope harbringer dragon]

[vivid wave]

Number 38: Hope Harbinger Dragon Titanic Galaxy

LIGHT • Rank: 8
[ Dragon / Xyz / Effect ]

ATK 3000 / DEF 2500

Effect

2 Level 8 monsters
Once per turn, when a Spell Card or effect is activated on the field (Quick Effect): You can negate that effect, and if you do, attach that card to this card as material. When an opponent's monster declares an attack: You can detach 1 material from this card; change the attack target to this card and perform damage calculation. If another face-up Xyz Monster(s) you control is destroyed by battle or card effect: You can target 1 face-up Xyz Monster you control; it gains ATK equal to 1 of those destroyed monster's original ATK.

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

[modest hinge]

well yea it's a good card but due to it being limited you can't even play in galaxy eyes if you use the galaxy solider into cyber dragon infinitely package.

[quick axle]

Honestly, I don't get why they Limited this card.

[modest hinge]

no idea either, doesn't help factors that galaxy eyes already has a extremely tight extra deck to begin with and well realistically you can really only have like 3 extra deck cards on the field at a time.
you can do some galaxy eyes cloudflare dragon & overlay bs but that takes a turn or so to happen.

[dapper grotto]

So other Rank 8 decks will have to choose ig. What other Rank 8 decks are there?

Gimmick Puppets?

[modest hinge]

blue eyes?

[dapper grotto]

That too.

[pastel lotus]

bc its a 950 gem card

regardless how good you think it is

[modest hinge]

like this is packed full...

[dapper grotto]

[pastel lotus]

i don't play cyber dragons so

[dapper grotto]

Yeah, IDT Infinity is really worth the slots anymore.

I hope we finally get the proper Galaxy support someday.

[modest hinge]

i just wish they gave us a rank 5 called galaxy super solider or something...

[pastel lotus]

you alredy got hyper galaxy

[galaxy eyes solar falre dragon]

[vivid wave]

Galaxy-Eyes Solflare Dragon

LIGHT • Rating: Link-2 (↙↘)
[ Dragon / Link / Effect ]

ATK 2000

Effect

2 LIGHT monsters, including a monster with 2000 or more ATK
If this card is Link Summoned: You can target 1 "Photon" or "Galaxy" monster in your GY; add it to your hand. During your opponent's Main Phase (Quick Effect): You can discard 1 "Photon" card and 1 "Galaxy" card, OR discard 1 "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon", then target 1 Special Summoned monster your opponent controls; destroy it. You can only use each effect of "Galaxy-Eyes Solflare Dragon" once per turn.

[pastel lotus]

harbringer's detach effect is a battle declaration effect

and its only a change attack target to me

[small fern]

it also forces diabound to respond outside of the damage step except diabound ain't relevant at all

[rain aspen]

I've seen a lot of decklists centred on this card use E-Heroes as Main Deck monsters.

How come?

I'm thinking of building a deck around this card for my Rush Duel deck.

[small fern]

i keep looking at grandmasters and thinking "isn't that a cardfight card?"

how long til duel links' first speed grandmaster...

[rain aspen]

Found this deck online.

Will it still work if I swap out Pot of Greed for Pot of Avarice?

I wasn't playing when Rush PoG came out.

[sleek garnet]

Its because elemental circulation is essentially graceful charity, so you play those to enable it

[dusty lily]

I haven't played rush yet since I've been back is cyber dragon still viable?

[quick axle]

No.

They got some new support, but it's not helping them too much.

[dusty lily]

I'm so far behind on everything lol

Redeyes probably my best deck now lol how far can it go?

I also have heros but it's pretty old by now lol

Think I can make leg at least?

I'm still silver 5 ATM and seeing a lot of pretty good decks lol

I also have a mission to send friend request with invitation code? I've sent friend request but didn't complete the mission

[rain aspen]

Ah. I get it now.

I still prefer the deck I posted before. I just don't have Rush PoG

[rain aspen]

I'm gonna go for that

[dusty lily]

My rush builds are lacking a lot I think lol

Was my main deck about a year ago lol

Is there a room 2 discord were are all the OG's lol

[rain aspen]

I've got an idea what decks I want to go for in DL (Not looking forward to the grind tho)

Rush: Magnum Overlord and Galaxies

Speed: Raidraptor, Salamangreat, Codetalker/Cyberse Dragons

[dusty lily]

I always liked raid raptor and galaxy but have always been lacking cards and they seem to be in 500 different boxes lol

[rain aspen]

I just used one of my billion tickets to get a copy of Revolution Falcon

I use Raidraptor in Master Duel and they're so fun

[dusty lily]

I used one of my tickets for the owl

[rain aspen]

Felt so satisfying beating Sky Striker and D/D/D with Pure Raidraptor

[dusty lily]

Lol

I only have one mimicry

Are they good enough to invest in?
