I wish there was better counterplay for Snipe Hunter than Bad Aim (though it is, admittedly, hilarious), it's a really sloppy two-for-two.

So my 6 year old son really wants to play but I haven't seriously played since just before the gx sets came out haha. What would be some good precons to get? I'd like to focus on the normal game instead of speed duel if possible, unless that's the new actual hotness and is actually more fun than duel links makes it seem.

Unless he's actually actively watching Zexal or what-have-you, the rules are going to be way too byzantine for a six year old. 2) SDs are much closer to the Yu-Gi-Oh you remember. 3) SDs needs more love and support so they'll actually make more of it.

They're gonna keep making Speed Duel products because Duel Links is making Konami more money than the rest of the physical card game and they want to capitalize on that success as much as they can. I bet Speed Duel products become way more popular once they release sets based on decks that were popular in the first year of Duel Links, like Red-Eyes Zombie or Fire King Nephtys (pre-Yubel/Ritual) or something.

SD is a chance for Konami to really rebalance YGO into a non hosed state whole keeping the nostalgia cards. Lol we said that about links Lol we also said that about DL

Salamangreats structure deck is your best bet as they are meta cards on cheap and have a very simple play style. The TCG is much better than speed duels as they are mostly nostalgia for a time when the game was honestly pretty poo poo and will probably die a slow death as duel links does what speed duels want to do but more convenient

Wait, which definition of broken is being used here? Anyway, we played a few games and he had a blast and already asked when he can play with a full deck haha. He's six and just finish kindergarten so I told him that he needs to be able to read the cards and play entirely on his own first. We played 4 games and each won 2, though our last game he not only got to play his Blue-Eyes, but he also wrecked my poo poo with it, it really did hit me with a nostalgia big time too.

Broken typically means overpowered. Blue-Eyes and Harpie/Amazons have both been meta in speed duels, with Harpie/Amazons currently being the best deck, IIRC? To an extent where there's not many other decks that can keep up with it?

Broken in the sense that those 3 are WAY better than the Yugi/Pegasus/Ishizu ones. Of those 3, the Yugi one is pretty much the only one that can really contend with the Kaiba/Mai/Joey ones, while the Pegasus and Ishizu ones are jank trash. That said, I still usually win with the Ishizu one because my clients are kids and it kind of levels the playing field a bit.

Thats why dueling on duelingbook or percy just isn't as satisfying, because I know another manchild is on the other end. I'd go back to locals but they I'd have to buy real cards and not proxies. Where can I get my beating up children in a game fix?

I'm always worried with roaming duelists that farming is going to be a pain in the rear end but sometimes things work out alright. Oh, and I hit KoG again, this time using a modified version of the Red-Eyes build used in this video. Using Masked Tribute + Creature Seizure or Enemy Controller to bypass Red-Eyes Fusion's summoning restrictions and load the field with huge monsters way too fast proved really good against all sorts of decks. Here's some good replays I saved from my ladder climb. The first two I'm just running the deck from the video, and in the last one I'm running a lv1 Warrior-type tuner instead of Amazoness Queen for Synchro Shenanigans: VS. A more traditional Red-Eyes build w/ Buster Blader VS. Six Samurai, in which I have a very bad time until I don't VS. Some sort of Subterror/Neos hybrid, in which I pull a Black Rose Dragon out of my rear end

I've been goofing off trying to make Neos/Silent Swordsman work. It's almost at the point where it's almost not bad. Edit: Extra deck is 3x Brave Neos and 3x Neos Knight, nothing exciting. girl dick energy fucked around with this message at 20:07 on Jun 20, 2019 |

New Skill Rebalancing and Forbidden/Limited list changes coming on July 26 for Duel Links. Masked Tribute This Skill has been used in ways other than Summoning The Masked Beast, so we have restricted its use. quote:Masked Tribute Parasite Infestation This Skill has been used excessively in many different types of Decks, affecting players' enjoyment of the game, so we have decided to restrict its use to Insect-Type Decks only. quote:Parasite Infestation Three Lord Pillars We are changing the Skill, as with its current effect, you can greatly increase the chance of drawing specific cards by including 3 copies of "The Spiritual Lord" and "The Sky Lord" in your Deck. quote:Three Lord Pillars Limited 1 Gem-Knight Lady Lapis Lazuli We are limiting this card, as having two or more copies of this card has allowed players to consistently end Duels in one turn without giving their opponent a chance to fight back. Limited 2 Diamond Core of the Koa'ki Meiru This card has allowed "Koa'ki Meiru" decks to be very consistent, and has caused many one-sided Duels, so we will be limiting it. Amazoness Swords Woman "Amazoness" Decks have been in the metagame in one form or another for a very long time, so we are limiting this Deck to promote Deck diversity. No Longer on List Iron Core of the Koa'ki Meiru This card will be unlimited, as "Diamond Core of the Koa'ki Meiru" has been limited in its place.

Any time you give a character a skill to let them freely summon materials need for their signature monsters, you can guarantee that people will build a deck to exploit those free materials for anything except said signature monster.

The exception, apparently being Para and Dox's Labyrinth Builder, because two cards is just not worth it for a 3000 DEF vanilla. Unless it got nerfed in the past, which wouldn't surprise me.

Assuming we get a new monster card type, I could see something similar to the evolution mechanic from Pokemon, where you essentially overlay an extra deck monster on top of a specific monster you control (or maybe it'll be a main deck monster like pendulums were) and it's essentially a buffed up version of that monster.

Sooooo Like Rank-up or Assault Mode. gotcha boss. Serious though: Depending on an exact monster for material has not gone so well in YGO in the past unless the archetype is all about getting that specific material. And even then they like to give you ways to not need that specific material (unless its rank-up or some other forgotten corner case) to improve consistency. YGO doesnt really need new mechanics as it does need a serious revamp in how Konami makes cards. Every duel with current cards is just a game of solitaire rocket tag.

Restart from zero, new adaptation of the original manga that actually follows the manga but with the new cards that restart the game from zero to make a more balanced and fun game (note: I have no idea if this worked in Vanguard and I don't trust Konami at all to make it work in YGO, I just want an actual adaptation of the original manga)
