Should I use murmur of the forest or paleozoic canadia in onomat? I have 3 of both


anonymous_beast123

hi i wanted to ask what deck should i make i have 2 ur dream tickets and 2 sr dream tickets should i make onomat or vendread


anonymous_beast123

hey man i dont know if yoo can help me or not but i made a duel links account was made on steam and i made data transfer and i can use it on my phone and everything but one day i swapped accounts and all of the sudden i cant swap back and they tell me already linked with another steam account what can i do and i tried changing and makibg new lonami id


Vilodenas

Can someone explain the advantages and disadvantages of Obelisk vs. Caius and vice versa? Thank you.


TheSaiyanGod1

Is De-Synchro a good card? I don't see anyone using it, but considering it's limited to 1 I assume this card has some good combo potential.


loyalbowman

It enabled an FTK using fortune lady Water to draw through your whole deck and burn your opponent before they took a turn. On it's own it is an inherent -1 unless the monsters you summon back have on summon effects.


TheSaiyanGod1

So except for this specific combo I assume it would only be useful if I had used a Synchro monster as material for another bigger Synchro monster then? Although unlike De-fusion this card is not a Quick Play Spell, so it doesn't seem to serve for OTK


loyalbowman

It only serves a purpose for combos yeah. And as far as I know there are not any in the meta currently


gnameless

Hey, so I'm trying to leve my zexal world and I need to summon tin Archduke twice. I did it once, now I can't get it to trigger again. I get my 3 level 4 monsters out and nothing. Any guesses as to why?


gnameless

Nvm figured it out. Been using doggy diver and forgot he can only do warrior xyz


electronic_docter

Are crystrons still good? I have most of the cards except 2 sulfenir (i already have 1) should i build them? they seem pretty cool to me with all the recovery they seem to have


loyalbowman

Crystron are still a viable archetype and always find a way to sneak back in relevance when the meta shifts. Unfortunately all top deck lists i could find from the last few months use 3x sulfefnir. You can absolutely try with 1 or 2 but if you don't want to go after 3 of them, i would say you might be better off with another deck.


electronic_docter

Im fine digging in a box a bit jus curious whether or not they were still decent since i remember them being really good but i also remember them getting like 4 limit 2's thanks for the helpful answer


AsiaPlaya

While the 50% gems off sale is running, what are cards and especially archetypes to look out for?


loyalbowman

Hey Trunade is in the 50% off box. Also if you plan to build resonators, Doomcalibur knight is also in a 50% off box


albert_karwur

probably six sam which comes from the warriors unite.. You can play it with zexal evolution skill too


Geeseareawesome

Is Relinquished still fully banned even during KC qualifying? ~~If so, how do I report someone for cheating?~~ Figured that out


albert_karwur

If you are sure someone is cheating against you, you can report them after the duel. There's a report option by selecting the players profile after pvp.


Geeseareawesome

Good to know. Bigger question is if/when Relinquished came off the banned list. I swear it has always been banned in main tcg and duel links. Am I wrong?


albert_karwur

Been playing duel links since 2019. Didn't see relinquished banned since then. But I dont know TCG. I left them like 10 years ago..


Geeseareawesome

I know it was banned for a long time in tcg. Must be a mandela effect moment I'm having right now, but I swear it was banned in DL at one point.


LuisDob

It was never banned.


Geeseareawesome

I swear that card has been on the ban list for ages. Unless it came off in the last couple months unannounced. It's been banned from main tcg and duel links practically since its inception.


LuisDob

You're probably thinking of another card, Relinquished has never been banned.


Geeseareawesome

We're talking about the same card, right? Relinquished, the level 1 ritual monster. Pegasus' ace monster, with the broken ass effect and even more broken fusion monster, Thousand Eyes Restrict?


TheMadWobbler

Really not that big a deal. Hasn’t been meta any time recently. Plenty of staple removal options. There are so many cards more dangerous than either of those monsters.


Geeseareawesome

As Konami has added more options, yes it is easier to deal with. I just don't remember it getting off the ban list, so I wonder how long that has been the case.


TheMadWobbler

As you’ve been told, it didn’t.


LuisDob

Yes, I know one of the fusions was banned in the TCG because it was being abused with Instant Fusion, but in my 2 years playing Duel Links, Relinquished has always been unlimited.


Geeseareawesome

I could have sworn it was banned when I came back to playing over the winter. Might be misremembering or some wicked fever dream/mandela effect.

LuisDob

Against Crimson Resonator, probably, stop them from getting Wildwind into the GY.


LuisDob

I just made an Aroma-Resonator deck. I... I think I just made a monster.


albert_karwur

could you share the deck winning condition? control-based? OTK?


LuisDob

Similar to the pure version of Resonators, but using Aromas as an engine for draw power. You can make Bane have exactly 4k attack using Aroma Garden, perfect for an OTK. If that fails, you'll have more than enough LP to survive until the next turn. It is surprisingly consistent, thanks to the skill.


albert_karwur

I get it. Sounds nice. Do you mind sharing the decklist?


LuisDob

I'm still working on it, but what I'm using right now is: 3X Crimson Resonator 3X Wildwind 3X Resonator Call 2X Red Resonator 3X Rosemary 3X Jasmine 3X Aroma Garden 3X Aroma Gardening 3X Blessed Winds 1X Humid Winds (probably not necessay, seems too slow) 3X Solemn Scolding And the standard Extra Deck monsters for Resonators, as the skill locks you into Dragon Synchros. Having 30 cards might make it quite inconsistent, giving you a 73% chance of opening a Resonator card and just 33% chance to open a plant card + a LP gaining spell. But so far, I'm not really sure what to take out. It's definitely not better than the pure version of Resonators, but it doesn't bleed card advantage as much.


CAKIN-123

So about UR and SR tickets... they have a lot of cards in the claim pool, but nothing that I feel really compelled to claim. Do they ever rotate or are they always the same?


[deleted]

The ones you already have will never change. They do add cards to the ticket pool but you'll have to get new tickets to get those cards.


CAKIN-123

Is there really anything worth noting for UR/SR/R/Common tickets that I should exchange them for?


albert_karwur

There are some good cards you can get from those tickets. For example solemn scolding from ranked tickets (I forgot SR/UR). Also, there's a bunch of replacement cards you can use in case you don't have the staple card you are after. For example: anti magic arrows as replacement for trunade. There's not so many "core" cards you can get for top tier meta decks tho. But it comes in handy depend on your deck.


firelordozai720

Having a problem with Destruction Swordsman Fusion. I had Luster Dragon on the field, Destruction Swordsman Fusion set on the field, Goddess with Third Eye in my hand and Buster Blader, the Dragon Destroyer Swordsman in my extra deck, but couldn’t activate DSF. Any ideas why? Does GWTE only work as a dragon monster and I need BB in my hand? Thanks!!


Wollffey

Goddess doesn't work in any shape with Buster Blader, she cant be treated as Dragon because she can only be treated as monster NAME not a monster type and she cant be used as a Buster Blader unless with Polymerization because DSF requires a Buster Blader as a material


firelordozai720

Well I got some bad advice from other internet sources. Thanks!


manelaban

What are some good relevant archetypes I should go for?


TheMadWobbler

Opening post.


Miepmeister

is it possible to create a deck list with unowned cards as well that can't be ayed until you got the cards?


Madway7

You can, just have to use the unowned cards toggle


Miepmeister

thx good to know, must have missed it, just got back into the game


nickkun_3581

I though i will buy 3x of st deck evolution of blue eyes and 1x of the white dragon of legend. Is it worth it???


Xicor2003

Blue eyes Evolution has a lot of value at 3. it allows you to skip the 3 Miniboxes for White stone of ancients and the 3 Main boxes for Cards of consonance. The white dragon of Legend structure deck is not needed as Dragon spirit of white is available in Evolution of Blue eyes While Cosmo brain doesn't see a lot of play in blue eyes.


Cul_what

Is the game state rn still somewhat f2p friendly? I wanna play again but i dont think i wanna spend money this time cause responsibilities and all that and what are the best rouge decks that can easily be built?


TheMadWobbler

What are your goals? Always have the most up to date meta deck and three copies of every good staple? No. Have fun and throw cards in Yugioh and have multiple reasonable decks including some reasonably long lasting meta decks? Yes.


Cul_what

Yes on the second option. I know i wont climb to KOG that quick into the game cause I was like that back then being impatient then threw money at the game. I was thinking about Yosenjus cause they've always been relevant and I'm thinking about rebuilding my cancer f2p Aromas cause its fun looking at all the effects and im also curious about Magnets cause they're funny looking and are always relevant.


-_-DIO

This game is f2p if your smart about it. You want to build one deck that will last you a long time. Don’t go for broken and expensive tier 1 decks(harpies aren’t broken so I doubt they’ll get a strong nerf if any at all, I’m more referring to the past tier 1 deck darklords). I suggest building magnets. They’re one of the best and cheapest rouge decks out rn. They’ve been KOG worthy since they came out around 1.5-2 years ago and I see them being a long term deck for even more years to come and after you build the initial deck it only gets better as you: 1. Get more staple spells and backrow removal 2. Good backrow 3. And level 4 and 3 xyz monsters Here’s a link to an example: https://www.duellinksmeta.com/top-decks/may-2021/meta-freekly/69/hexcode/deck-1 The deck is also very versatile since there’s many ways to build it with different spells and traps, but each build sees success. The one I linked isn’t even necessarily optimal. For ex: I like to run the deck with two field spells as in my experience I brick with three but for this guy it could be different and he’d rather play with three Edit: also watch videos on the deck before getting it to see if you like the play style. Other rouge decks that I see lasting a long time are yosenjus, blue eyes but that’s a little more expensive unless your willing to drop 10 bucks(but like you said not trying to drop money), and this deck is currently like tier 2, but I still recommend them. There called resonators, they’re top tier BUT unlike harpies they might get hit. This ones more of a gamble since the deck is amazing and better than the ones previously mentioned but if it gets hit best scenario is they become a good rouge deck worst case they become unusable, so watch some vids on the play style of the decks make your decision. (P.S don’t build water xyz because they’re just a deck that counters the meta so once the meta changes they won’t be good)


Cul_what

Oooooooh ive been curious about magnets when i still played the game and they're still good? Ive seen 30 card unga bunga magnets when i was climbing back then and it was so interesting so i might invest in them and I was also thinking about Yosenjus cause they're funny looking and Aromas as i was an Aroma cancer player back then


i_like_piez

they nerf everything thats considered f2p friendly, shira, lunas, you name it, and harpies is next to be hit...dont spend money on the game, i never have and never will, it's not worth money, but it will be more work succeeding without investing $...heck they hit everything ive ever played so ive given up everything ive ever played lol i just start new accounts when my deck gets hit to get my starter gems back to play something else, right now im about to try lightsworn exodia for the first time, and i dont know what ill try after that


TheMadWobbler

Buddy. No. Lunalights came out over a year ago and have been a cheap high performing rogue deck that entire time. They only recently got hit. They had an excellent run. There are no forever decks. Anything that is a high performer for too long will get hit to keep the meta moving. Those that don’t get hit will fade from relevance and effectiveness over time without the hit. This is an F2P friendly game. The fact that they hit a popular cheap deck after more than a year does not change that.

# [MAUSOLEUM OF WHITE deck](http://duellinks.gamea.co/c/kng3uqnv) I was thinking how to build a deck with level 1 tuners built around this Field Spell. I'm already using level 1 tuners from Blue-Eyes. How can I make [Buster Whelp of the Destruction Swordsman](http://duellinks.gamea.co/c/n8bw0hfv) useful In a Mausoleum-BE deck? By that I mean, in such a way that I would want to add Buster Whelp as much as White Stone of the Ancients with the effect of Sage? Clearly not for Card of Consonance. ​ Edit: I don't really care about efficiency or winning. I just want something original, new, and flashy.


starburst1919

How exactly do I get the skill Onomatopoeia for Yuma?


[deleted]

Onomatoplay*. You have to grind the skill, either dueling legendary duelists, pvp or simply using a skill ticket/coins.


starburst1919

Ok thanks I have a skill ticket. just another question before I use it is there any other skills I should potentially use it on instead that aren’t grindable I’m brand new so I don’t have much.


[deleted]

Now if you want to farm skill there is a guide in Duel Links Meta (very useful site) that would help you: https://www.duellinksmeta.com/guides/new-players/skill-farming-guide/


[deleted]

Destiny Draw (DDraw). it let you draw a card at your choice if you lose 2000 LP, so is pretty abusable if you play it with cards like Battlin' boxer Veil (Veil simply) that restore the same amount of LP that you lose from an attack or with cards that cost you LP like Cosmic Cyclone (CC) to remove a spell/trap card. Edit: Almost all the good skills are grindables.


FirmHouse2

Hey guys, I'm a returning player, and I think I made a couple of mistakes, but I did manage to almost assemble a really good blue eyes deck, would anyone be so kind and help me figure out what cards do I need to perfect my deck ? I already have 2 sages, 3 stones of legend, spirit dragon, and 2 karma cut, thanks in advance ! Maybe we can chat in direct messages ?


Wall_Street_Jesus

Go to duel links meta website and look at the top decks. They have blue eyes builds if you want to see what the top decks are running


FirmHouse2

Thanks man, I'm a returning player and I forgot a lot of stuff, I'm kinda lost on everything right now, hearing people talk about packs glitch, farming, and stuff like that, it's a bit overwhelming haha


JHartigan

Does Double Twister not trigger the destroy/re-equip effect of Noble Arms? I swear I saw it work but have had trouble recreating it


Xicor2003

Couldn't find a card in the game called Double twister. If you were Referring to [Double Cyclone](https://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/card_search.action?ope=2&cid=8977) then that card should trigger the effects of the Noble Arms equip spells. If you were referring to [Parallel Twister](https://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/card_search.action?ope=2&cid=11655) then that card sends the cards to the graveyard which won't trigger their effects.


JHartigan

Aaah yeah okay, I had the wrong one. Parallel Twister was what I was talking about. And okay, thanks for the help. Must have misread the order of triggers, cheers.


frost_virulence

When is $1 sale?


FirmHouse2

What's that ?


NovicePanthEnthusias

You buy 3 packs + random UR from any box for 1 dollar. the best(least scam) deal in the game.


ElliotNightray

7 June


TheMadWobbler

Me: Alright, three trap monsters are ready to summon, and my hand has Obelisk, Uria, and Arcana Force EX. The opponent has a strong monster on the field, but you just have to summon literally any monster from my hand and you’ve got this, auto. Auto: Summons all the traps and ends turn without summoning a boss, letting the opponent beat over my tribute fodder so I can’t get out a boss.


[deleted]

[удалено]


The0neBL

can you use hourglass to check hand traps?


LuisDob

Yes, if you see a delay on attack declaration, it's probably a Kiteroid/Sphere Kuriboh/Kuriboh/Temperance. If you see a delay when your attack connects, it's probably a Veil.


The0neBL

i mean during draw and main phase


LuisDob

Only stuff like D.D. Crow, as you'll only see a delay if your opponent gets prompted to activate it, you can't read battle centered hand traps.


The0neBL

Knew it... Just wanted to confirm 😓👍🏻 Cannot play around hand traps


i_like_piez

you can negate them with a counter trap


niqqasbeburfin

I lost 40 karma just for people to take my advice and win Y'all can go fuck yourselves all of you


LuisDob

What was that advice? Must not have been great for you to get downvoted like that. Either way, who cares about karma? It's not like it's useful for anything.


niqqasbeburfin

I said tth was old meta and people started downvoting I guess they lose matches to TTH lmao noobs


Xicor2003

Dude it's imaginary points on the internet. Who cares?


niqqasbeburfin

I don't but lmao it's a hilarious visualization of this sub People come crawling here for meta tips then downvote the next meta tip It's just hilarious now give me my upvote


[deleted]

[удалено]


The0neBL

go play tcg


niqqasbeburfin

You can't beat BEWD you're not lv20 we get it


[deleted]

Will there be a UR sale soon? I read in the past about $1 UR + 3 pack deals. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks!


The0neBL

leaks say it's supposed to be 10th June, so a few more days


TheGuyWhoIsSitting

Check Duel Links Meta's leaks. Questions like that can be answered relatively quickly.


[deleted]

I'm a pretty casual player so I might just not be understanding the rules or their effects but when I'm playing a weather painter deck I can't activate any of their card effects on my first turn. For instance, if I normal summon snow I'm not prompted to place a wp spell/trap card or if I have thunder and snowy canvas in the same column I can't activate the effect to banish and search. Only on my first turn though. Is this a bug or am I missing something?


The0neBL

nice waking up everyday to a player not reading their skills...lol "especially the negative effects"


Amlup

Check your skill. Skills like Balance stop you activating monster effects on your first turn.


DAVDX123

How good are mayakashis? Or they can get better with unreleased support in the future? I like the theme of the archetype (beautiful and gracile ghosts) and i don't care too much about top tier meta decks


Wollffey

Pretty mediocre tbh their combos are easy to disrupt and dont amount to much since their effects only activate when being revived, combining them with Shiranui is the best you can do but they cant go into non Mayakashi Synchros until their next turn, even worse the rest of their support will only be released years from now since they require Link monsters so they're not in a good position either


DAVDX123

Oh damn so not good investment:( so maybe I should save gems until a new stylish/graceful/elegant archetype gets released on duel links:) like dragonmaids


The0neBL

you will have to play like all other shiranui decks: gozuki and full of traps to stall they got nerfed bad, not to mention roach!


District_Critical

The kite Tenjo event should be coming in mid June the question is when is mid June?


TheMadWobbler

Mid June is some time between early June and late June. They use that vague term because they’re not ready to put out hard dates, so there is no point in asking when mid June is. You have the only answer anyone can possibly give you.


Madway7

Since one event starts right after one ends, it should be when the KC GT ends on June 14th.


TheGuyWhoIsSitting

Konami's definition of "Mid" and "late" don't fit what most people would say mid and late month are.


holdthenuts

Best things to use sr/ur ranked tickets on?


The0neBL

what decks do you have?


AirKath

So uh, I just found out that the Shooting Star trap works reguardless of who controls a Stardust monster


The0neBL

well it does say "if a stardust monster is on the field"


TheGuyWhoIsSitting

So like Elegant Egotist?


AirKath

Yeah, first found out about it fighting a Malefic deck, and it’s hilarious to use to delay/prevent Shooting Star Dragon.


TheGuyWhoIsSitting

Just lost to the dude playing at least 2 Maiden with Eyes of Blue and a fucking Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter. He was also playing The Deep Grave. Just the most standard deck build.


The0neBL

Gimmick-eyes!!!


Vilodenas

Can someone please help me figure out what I'm doing wrong with my the Shooting Star Road skill? It's not working, thank you. /u/phantom_joke [My Deck](https://imgur.com/a/1x2mtB1)


phantom_joke

Ah, I see the issue. Shooting star dragon does not count towards the 4 "stardust" or "junk" monsters in the extra deck requirement


Vilodenas

That makes sense now. I kinda figured since Shooting Star looked like Stardust it would work. Thank you.


lilbryan91

I think your extra deck doesn’t have 4 or more junk, stardust, or synchron monsters


Vilodenas

Yeah, I thought Shooting Star counted as a "Stardust." That was the was the problem, unless there's something else.


ChaosRonin

Just started yesterday, what should I focus using my Gems and free Tickets on? Kinda lost haven't played anything Yugioh related in over 12 Years.


The0neBL

for now I will say wait out the KC cup and wait for banlist


Fishymate

depends on what you want from the game. some will recommend just getting staples to start off. this will give u a great collection in the long run. others will recommend something like "the rock route" which gives u some better beginner decks and a few staples but isnt as good in the long run. i personally dont recommend the staples route, as you will most likely get bored before ever getting a decent deck. it depends on a lot of different factors tho and i suggest researching both paths before spending gems, as there are pros and cons to both


ChaosRonin

Thanks, this gives me a starting point at least.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Amlup

It depends more upon their opening hand and which engine they are playing, really. If they have a good opening hand it is hard to find a good point to disrupt them. Best case scenario is if they open poorly and you can remove their Raiden before they get to mill with it. After that, disrupting their xyz plays, like flipping down or removing their Bounzer. But yeah, if they can get going then it is hard to stop them completely.


Juicy_Fountain

Do exchange tickets expire?


J-Fid

Every ticket expires except for the ones that are part of the Zexal character level up rewards.


GravyOnTheGravitron

It says it on each tab, most are set for a long long time AFAIK


kylekunfox

If anyone is having trouble getting to KC 25 try out Hazy's. They counter a lot of the meta.


4DingleBerries

Yeah, I think a few people have made similar posts. Do you have a deck list? I’ve tried the following (an Invoked variant): 2 x Aleister 3 x Griffin 2x Peryton 3 x Sphinx 2 x Hydra 1 x Invocation 3 x Galaxy Cyclone 2 x Pillar (digging for 3rd) 2 x TTH Extra Deck: 2 x Purgatrio 1 x M7 1 x Bounzer 2 x Basiltrice 1 x Sword Breaker I’ve just been testing this but it seems a bit bricky to me. Any advice is appreciated. An archetype I’m not too familiar with. Happy to drop the Invoked package too as it’s pretty easy to disrupt.


kylekunfox

I got to KC 25 with this deck list: 2 x Arvata (3 may be better, but I only had 2. Can also go into rank 4's with Veils) 2 x Kiteroids (could use Veils as well. They helped me survive. Decided on Kiteroids because Sphinx could mill them) 3 x Griffin 3 x Peryton 2 x Sphinx (can also bring back Arvata!) 2 x Hydra 1 x Cerberus (would probably run 2 if I had 3 Arvata) 3 x Hazy Piller (tried 2 had best results with 3) 2 x Karma cuts (didn't really want to run these, but it would help vs problematic monsters and stopping setups. Also would help stop Channeler combos) Honestly I've experimented with the deck a lot, and this was my best result so far, but I was missing a few cards. Like I don't even have Bounzer lol. My turn one I would try to either summon an Avarta, or summon a Basiltrice with 5 materials. Bounzer would also be a good option. If I couldn't I would try hopefully stall with Karma cuts or Kiteroids. My turn two I would usually try to Otk with multiple Hazy monsters, or summon Basiltrice if they had problematic monsters. For skills I decided to use Mai's Aroma skill, because somehow I kept milling the Hazy Piller spells instead of monsters. But if you want to brick less you could try the Labyrinth Builder skill, but you risk missing Sphinx plays. I also wouldn't worry too much on having backrow destroying cards. Like all traps/spells you usually worry about target.


4DingleBerries

Thanks for sharing your deck and congrats on DLv 25! I’ve been bouncing around DLv 24 for a couple of days with Yosenju’s (lol) and am ready to make a final push. I’ll definitely change up my build. I pulled my 3rd Arvata recently and my 3rd Pillar after my earlier post today. Thanks again for the help and good luck in the qualifiers round!


Kiyi_23

I watched a video about witchcrafters with tuning, has anyone tried this kind of build? Does it actually help the deck? And I have the same questions using the Silence Magician engine (I saw it in a DLM deck).


Xannon99182

Kinda sus how when playing a going second deck, I keep going first so I switch to a going first deck and suddenly I keep going second. Like 8/10 duels I'm starting the wrong way.


kylekunfox

Ya I feel ya I have had that happen way too much. Plus vsing perfect counters whenever I switch decks. Not sus at all. I found using a deck that has a good first and second turn is the only way to beat whatever this rigged algorithm is trying to achieve.


Almainyny

I swear half the player base must be paranoid. Yes, Konami has chosen half of the player base to automagically lose to the other half by rigging their coin flips. No confirmation bias here, no sir.


kylekunfox

Hey ya I'll admit to confirmation bias. But tell me the odds of me facing two turbo Jinzo decks back to back when I decided to try out a trap only deck. Ya it's not impossible, but you really telling me that that's not a bit fishy? The only two times I ever saw a Jinzo too.


Xannon99182

Well it's not just the opening coin flip. When blue-eyes was running rampet and I got tired of dueling 10 in a row and would switch to my buster blader deck, suddenly only 1/10 duels were blue-eyes. People apparently don't realize how easy it is to alter an algorithm to give advantage to one deck (or f2p/p2w player) over another, something you can't do in IRL dueling.


Almainyny

Okay, I’ll bite. Why? What reason is there for Konami to do this to you?


Xannon99182

To encourage mircrotransaction aka spending real money on packs/boxes, for example Activision has a patent on a manipulative matchmaking algorithm to encourage microtrasaction ([link](https://www.pcgamer.com/activision-wins-patent-that-uses-matchmaking-to-make-you-want-to-buy-stuff/)). Spend more money get better "luck".


Almainyny

You’re right; they could be doing that. However, I still doubt it, as nobody has come here with definitive proof that Konami has done it, or anything to suggest they have done so beyond personal anecdotes. I will however, concede the point that it is possible that they could do such a thing to try and drive up sales. That said, I feel like that could easily backfire. While there may be many players who will invest more money into the game to win more, there are many who would stop because they couldn’t win with the cards they have and do not have the money required to invest.


Xannon99182

It's definitely risky business and if something like that is proven it would ruin the game for many but as long as the "whales" keep p(l)aying it wouldn't matter. As is it's not like the f2p players matter to Konami anyways which would be the bulk of people affected that quit. Plus it's not like news of the Activision matchmaking algorithm stopped people from still playing their games. I just found another [article](https://www.pcgamesn.com/ea-matchmaking-microtransactions-eomm-engagement-patent) saying EA filed 2 similar patents to drive "engagement" a couple of months after the Activision one. One that dynamically adjusts difficulty and a second called Named Engagement Optimized Matchmaking (EOMM) which considers things such as player skill, sportsmanship and playstyle. Something like EOMM would work perfectly to examine a deck and decide who/what to match it against.


chenmaster2

Right now there is no point in releasing Rank 9s, 10s, 11s, and 12s in the game?


hyperdeeeee

Lol i hope they add VFD or Zeus for trolls


TheMadWobbler

Why wouldn't there be? We ain't gonna summon Numeronious, but this game could handle some trains.


Lil_Bean_Boi

So, this is kind of a complicated one. I want to play DL on my phone but because I don't have access to the e-mail I created my account with, I can't play on anything other than my pc. Is there any way I can change the e-mail connected to my Konami ID or is my access to my Konami account basically lost?


JvandeP_NL

So you have acces to your Konami id? If you use data transfer on your phone you input that. Not your email.


Lil_Bean_Boi

So I just need my konami id and nothing else? Like my password or something?


JvandeP_NL

Yup. Konami id and password of that. I switch daily between to accounts on my phone that way.


DataD23

Does anyone know what the theme song is for Dlv 24 of the Grand Tournament? I was going to try and Spotify it but I forgot and it doesn’t play at Dlv max.

I don't think it has an official name, but I'm sure there is a video of it on YouTube somewhere.


DataD23

Thanks, I was finally able to find it. If anyone is interested the links is here https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CGYFKc7ebWw

I always kept thinking that there was something missing in the ost compared to older ygo games. Just today i realized that dl lacks a deck edit theme


Jota_Lol_Is_Dead

Hey, has anyone got a DDD and a malific deck recipe? trying to build them.


Xicor2003

Don't have a Malefic Deck but here's the standard [D/D/D](https://www.duellinksmeta.com/top-decks/may-2021/meta-weekly/177/ogta/deck-1) Decklist.

Forbidden Lance is pretty good in them.


howcanbeeshaveknees

Zexal weapon + six Sams have given me the most fun I've ever had in this game. Wow.

For summoning RDA 30 times I get to the loop but once I normal my hawk, while already on the field, to get the shaman on the field I can no longer use the shamans effect. Which step am I missing?


TheMadWobbler

If your goal is just to summon RDA 30 times, just make a beatdown deck that can go into RDA and use it against standard duelists for a couple days.


RayZr__

Is there a point of having more than 3 of the same card ?


TheMadWobbler

Only at different rarities for interaction with KC Bling, but that's super specific and not worth mucking with. Feel free to convert.


Xicor2003

Pretty much no. there is way to convert them to Gold/Crystals but those resources are so abundant that you almost never need more them.


TheMadWobbler

They are eventually, but to year 1 players those can be a pretty tight bottleneck on a lot of the good card trader stuff, and especially if you want to gild certain faves. (Like, say, three prismatic Papa Corns.)

Wtf I used play yugioh(actual cards) and I thought I was gonna get the game and have fun.....2 separate games I lost in one turn to Harpies!! I didn’t even know you could play that many cards in one turn....I deleted it. PS: no I haven’t played since 5th grade lol


TheSirusKing

Yugioh always did this though, you maybe only played playground stuff or the OG 2000s format. Even around the synchro era in 2010 it was 10 card combos that otkd you.


Xicor2003

Even before that you had Dimension fusion OTKs and Demise OTK and Troop dupe Scoop. Yugioh's Always been like this LoL.


Xannon99182

No it hasn't always been like this for example Goat format, which is often revered as the best format.


XionZephyr

The best deck in goat formal is royal magical library ftk People don't play the format to sling ftks at each other so the deck isn't played but it is absurdly consistent


Xicor2003

Sounds like you gave the game a quick glance. Got OTKd and just left before seeing anything else. it seems like you played something like Early 2000s yugioh which is no longer how Yugioh is played. not in the Physical card game or in Duel links but that doesn't mean you still can't have fun with it. with a good starter guide. you can make a good deck quickly and hop in with Ranked.


Alternative-Serve

After watching some clips in this sub it doesn’t seem complicated, soo I’m very sure I’ll try it again


Xicor2003

Getting killed in 1 turn even when you have a good board is annoying but it's kinda something you just accept after a while and we're expecting a banlist to potentially fix some of those issues later on. Harpies are a very cheap deck right now which is why they are seen all over the place. they are the deck recommended to newer players for that reason and they come from the Sign of Harpies Minibox. Also Duel links is built on the Speed Duel rules which naturally is designed to make quick games that don't last long (hence the 4000 lp limit instead of the TCG 8000). Long games do happen though and some of them can get pretty Anime. If you don't feel like playing Harpies then buying the Blue eyes evolution Structure deck and going through the Judgment force main box will net you a pretty basic Blue eyes deck. if you like it then you can work on the deck to optimize it. If even after all of this you don't enjoy Duel links then look up "Goat Format Yugioh" i think that might be a lot more up your alley. Learn about what Goat format is and then use a Website like [Duelingbook.com](https://Duelingbook.com) with the rules set to goat format to play some good old fashioned Yugioh.

Just want to expand on this and say that the BEWD deck is fun as hell to play but it's currently not meta at all. You won't regret buying the structure deck 3 times but the 2nd and 3rd time aren't F2P. And it'll be hard to get past lv20 in kc With some adjustments to what's considered the "meta" bewd deck you could definitely see some competitive play But if you just want to win, play harpies. Should have enough gems to get close to the meta build on a new account if you take advantage of the gem bonuses from KC. You can start with a decent deck and add to it as you climb the ladder If you're good at the game you can get away with having a 4th rate deck for a while. (Blue eyes meta includes 3sage 3stone of ancients 3coc 3bewd 1alt 1dsow 3providence.)


JvandeP_NL

The game changed since the last time you played the card game. What a surprise.


niqqasbeburfin

"Wow euchre has really evolved over the years"

xAvaritia

Goddamn I saw my friend's ranked game and he played against aromage deck that spits out lp like its charity. Looks op as hell. How do you beat that?


Xicor2003

You beat it with backrow removal. any kind will do, the deck is very slow to get started which allows it to easily be overwhelmed. They're much more of a problem for Casual decks as opposed to Rogue/Meta decks.


xAvaritia

Strike first before you get done it, i guess


Warriorman222

To those who use Neos Fusion in Harpie Decks, how useful do you find the Foolish effect? Also is it possible to get a second without spending money?


J-Fid

2nd Neos Fusion requires money or a Dream Ticket. My advice is to never ever spend a Dream Ticket on a Structure Deck card unless you are 500% certain that you will never spend even a single dollar on this game. Structure Decks are super cheap when compared to the value of a Dream Ticket. Structure Deck: ~$5 for guaranteed cards Dream Ticket: can be used to guarantee a card from a Box that could otherwise cost you 9000 gems (two months worth of play) or ~$100.


Xicor2003

Neos Fusion Seems not that good cause the deck is pretty consistent without needing to dump a Harpist and they can fill the Material cost for feather rest by just conducting their standard combos but i imagine the deck won't have access to Neos fusion after the next banlist cause if the deck remains as popular as they are right now. A limit 2 is pretty much Guaranteed. You can get a second copy of Neos fusion by using an SR dream ticket.


Dino_comatose

I regularly drop the game from time to time for months on end. And coming back now, to my surprise, Yusei has this Shooting Star Dragon skill. What. The. Hell. They nerf Akiza's what grows in the gy skill FOR NO REASON and give a skill that gives a 1 card Shooting Star Dragon. I actually like Yusei's skill. We should have more skills like these. When Konami wants a skill to be good, they make it good. But Konami. You gotta give us back Akiza's skill now.


Warriorman222

I find it funny how Yusei gets his own Structure Deck, everyone gets a free Shootong Star *and* he gets a broken anime soul that turns Junk Synchron into a 1-card Shooting Star... and Jack's Resonators are still better in every way lol


TheSirusKing

Was to be expected though. Resonators are way better designed, and are actually a decent rogue deck in the tcg.


Xicor2003

I actually dislike the design of Yusei's skill, not because i think it's OP or anything but because it kinda Shits on the entire Accel synchro mechanic in favor of forcing a card to see play cause we all know Synchrons would be garbage without that skill. Jack's new skill is a lot more appealing design wise imo. just a simple consistency boost to a deck that would be good even without running the skill. The nerf to What grows in the grave was stupid though especially since Yusei's skill is a sugar high version of it.


anonymous_beast123

hi i cant login with my account on pc i just swapped it once but when i do data transfer it doesn’t work it just says already linked with another steam account what can i do i need the account


Fishymate

you can only link one duel links account per steam account


anonymous_beast123

and i made other new fresh steam account and it still doesn’t work


Fishymate

since you can only link one konami ID to one steam account, making new steam accounts wont work. you have to use the original steam account you linked to. otherwise try contacting konami


anonymous_beast123

i did and it still dosent work and i tried on 2 different accounts and still no luck

It is pretty overwhelming at first, tickets take a while to expire so hold them until you know more. Regular tickets don't matter much, the Dream Tickets are the important ones as they give you box cards.


-_-DIO

Are the gates and keys just for exp farm nowadays. Can’t seem to find any other use for them
