going from sylvan otk to masked heroes otk to fur hire otk is a goddamn three-car-pile-up of tier zero metas. they need to update their banlist real quick - Cyber Dragons (and Cyberdarks but who cares) came out today and I doubt they'll even make a blip as long as the Furry Menace is around.

So, I'm considering playing this online. What ia a good, strong starter deck that is easy to play to learn the ropes? What are the core deck archetypes?

Not exactly Meta, but Dinomists are a fun and relatively simple deck to try, especially for learning how to Pendulum Summon

Considering the new master rules, I'd probably stick to either Pendulum magicians or vanilla Pendulum beatdown if you're trying to get into a pendulum deck.

As far as just learning the game mechanics and getting familiar with the game? Zombies and/or Skull Servant would be a good pick I feel.

Right now the strongest decks are Gouki U-link spam, Trickstar-Sky Striker, Altergeist, and pure Sky-Striker. The first is all about making impossible to break boards to kill your opponent, the second is a burn-control deck with otk potential, the thing is a control deck that relies on trap cards, and the fourth is control focused on resource management and out gaining card advantage over your opponent.

It counts as a Noble Arm by itself so you can send it into the GY with Borz's effect, giving you two free SS from the get-go.

In your opinion, is the trap too slow? Since you can't activate it the turn it's sent to the graveyard? Or do you think Noble Knights can grind/control the board long enough that the trap is viable?

NK can definitely grind/control the board long enough for the trap to be viable. And with Iyvanne, Isolde, Medraut, Heritage, Brothers, and Custennin, is very easy to get Borz in the field on turn 1, setting the trap for your opponent's first turn and your second turn respectively.

Personally, I think the best cards of this new wave are Heritage and Once Again, then Morgan and lastly, Iyvanne.

yo can i talk for a second about this incredibly dumb duel links deck



Level Augmentation lets you target a monster you control and a monster in your hand, then add the levels of the monster in your hand to the monster you control. So, Yubel deck with tech The Calculator is absolutely hilarious when I blow up their backrow with Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys and drop a disgusting 6k+ The Calculator on the field.

I'm playing Duel Links again for some reason. Kaiba's complete lack of chill is still amazing.



Not new or creative, but consistent, and I get to hear Seto freak the gently caress out every time I attack with BEWD or activate EC. Considering whether to try to cram in another Vanguard somewhere, and/or replace BE Solid with another Dragon Spirit (or WattailDragon/Rabidragon, to keep Heavy Starter? :shrug:)

Edit: Hahaha, holy poo poo, I just got Wall of Disruption from my first SoK pack. Ever. :allears: Bye, Mirror Wall!

The way top-tier Blue-Eyes is run right now is to use Arkana w/ A Trick up the Sleeve to open with Cosmo Brain in your hand every duel, then run as many BEWD/Spirit as possible with one or two Bingo Machines to ensure you can summon it. Then run some normal-summon-able effect monsters like Psychic Ace or White Stone of Legend or whatever to tribute for Cosmo Brain's effect to get two huge beaters on the field right away. Silver's Cry, Birthright, Swing of Memories and Silent Doom can let you play with the BEWD you dumped to summon Cosmo Brain.

If you're determined to play as Kaiba, use Beatdown and run more copies of Cosmo Brain.

It's potentially pretty good. Silent Sword Slash can be devastating if timed right. It's solidly rogue though, and I wouldn't worry about seeing it more than, like, Silent Magician or Masked Heroes.

Double posting to say that there are few things I've done in Duel Links more satisfying than letting Fur Hire players fill up their field and deck themselves out because they can't get over a Cosmo Brain.

Edit: Though it's probably safer to use an Azure-Eyes so they can't suicide their dudes into it to make room.

Next Duel Links big box got leaked. Hype for the return of my least favorite archetype of the Synchro era.

The only solace in being beaten by Blackwing will be that the dumb bastard spent hundreds of dollars on pretend cardboard.

Edit: I'm gonna end up building a Reptilliane antimeta deck just because of how much I hate those birds.

Edit2: Wonder how long I'll be able to get away with running Burst Stream of Destruction before they cotton on.

That box looks awful. There's nothing in there that could compete with the current meta, which for a main box is an unforgivable crime. Blackwings are pathetic without any of the good synchros, no icarus attack, no kalut, no blizzard except through Crow's skill... Blackwings will not be meta. Dragunities are alright but with only two notable generic lv8 synchros and a 5 card extra deck and no ravine it's not going to do anything yet.

So yeah, I guess uh, Power Wall is in the set as a N so you could do some shenanigans with that. Bujingi Crane is nice, too. A bunch of trashy Gladiator Beasts... Yeah no save your gems. Build Vampires if you haven't yet, they'll be T1 until the next banlist.

This page outlines the reason for the change. Turns out it's not so much because Vampires are bad, it's because Heroes beats it in most match-ups.

Finally got my Galaxy Blue Eyes deck working properly with Trick Up The Sleeve. Now I'm being a dumbshit in trying to come up with dumb techs.

My favorite so far is 1x Exploder Dragon and 1x Debunk. Exploder Dragon as a man-eater bug that can also suicide (or just be sacced by GB for a BEWD), and Debunk for hand traps and also Vampires and also Platelet Canada.

"I had a really cool theory about Kuriboh, actually."
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah, but it was..." :c00lbert: "Debunked."
