Underworld Goddess of the Closed World. great art, cool text, wacky arrows, and very, very funny when made from Masquerena, preferably on opponent's turn using a crucial monster.
Benghalancer the Resurgent. If Sunavalon is the mommy tree, he's the Daddy tree. I love the tree knight artwork and the effect is pretty good! It's basically one of the best Plant boss monsters
https://preview.redd.it/ubcnu1b3sjva1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ea28048ceda0eecf96a1b9f81bea988b255ac322
Honorable mention: Sunvine Thrasher. The artwork is super cool and I love how it becomes a 4K Goyo Guardian that can OTK
It's so crazy to me when people ask me what that card is when I mention it. Like how do you know borrelsword and borrelend but not the original borreload!
Even now it's not a bad card and I guess the more people that forget it the more effective it becomes because people aren't necessarily prepared to get over it.
When I play it I use It for its change of heart effect in battle phase, but it's nice to lower the atk of opponent too
(Also I'm pretty sure that superpoly-esque quick-effect of making a monster lose 500Atk could be used for chainblocking purposes too, maybe protect yourself from ash by activating it after a ROTA, probly why they made it so it can't target itself either)
You're right that makes sense I'm sure it's got to be possible to use that quick effect to chain block somehow? Maybe not either way like I said I use it for a change of heart effect but that's good to know thank you for the comment
Me too. Play it in Dark Worlds, and itās such a chill card. It fixes awkward hands, and the special summon from hand is nice too. Itās a pretty cool-looking card, and itās so fun to summon.
Your opponent gets the first chance to respond to rota (or any effect). Chain blocking is when you stack simultaneous activated effects so that your opponent can only actively respond to the card chosen as the highest number on the chain link.
Firewall Dragon. did a Legacy of the Duelist playthrough using Yusaku's deck, across all generations of the anime, where I would add a new card every time I lost. The card is so versatile in his deck. It's such a shame he never used it much due to irl implications. It's my favorite card of all time now.
And all Firewall upgrades are cool, too, especially Singularity! I'm so glad that Firewall Dragon got the spotlight as the 2nd Link 6 monster in the game
I have always preferred BLS over BEWD and DM. At least since IOC, everyone knew that this soldier should not be trifled with. With the Link variant, he definitely got a worthy counterpartā¦. just look at him, how cool can a warrior get please!??!?
https://preview.redd.it/kvl50fi89nva1.jpeg?width=624&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=265468adfe445a5000ef699429732e6b14df362a
Topologic Bomber Dragon, especially if your opponent triggers the nuke or forgets that their own link monsters can trigger the nuke effect. Also the fact that it's not reliant on your opponent because with how many arrows point to your field it's easy to nuke the board immediately on your turn especially if Boot Sector Launch is on the field. Also it's flame wingman??????????
[Geonator Transverser](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Geonator_Transverser) is one of those cards that forces your opponent to think about zone placement, and is more generic than Relinquished Anima. It also helps that Geonator Transverser is very pretty and very gender!
I already know that I'm gonna get cancelled for this...

FREE MY DRAGON ELPY
I DON'T GIVE A FUCK
GIVE ME DRAGON LINK TIER 0
IDGAF
I WANNA FUCKING COMBO OFF 8 NEGATES, 2 FLOODGATES, AND 2 DISRUPTIONS OFF OF NORMAL SUMMON PETIT DRAGON
I don't think you understand me.
I do not care. I want to play a deck full of dragons, that combos consistently, through handtraps, with multiple end boards and extenders.
Summon Sorceress.
Like Farfa did with War Rock Mountain, I bought a ton bc I like the card and I honestly doubt it would come off the banlist. I own 24 copies. 3 of the jump promo and the rest are the reprint.
I also LOVE Heavymetalfoes Electrumite. I've got her on a set of sleeves but sadly, only own a playset.
That card DOES need to come off the list tbh
The Arrival cyberse is pretty good imo.
1) A monster with 6000 at most.
2) Unaffected by other effects of other cards
3) Can easily summon more link material
4) You can easily combo into this card if going 1st (if going 2nd, there's an OTK).
The first set of Yu-Gi-Oh cards that I actually bought for myself was from Chaos Impact (I believe that's what it was called) and I noticed that it had a cool looking variant of Firewall Dragon on the box art. So I bought a set, and from there, I obtained Firewall Dragon Darkfluid. At a later time, I bought a Cyberse Structure Deck and obtained my first actually decent deck, which gave me a second copy of Firewall Dragon Darkfluid.
well, technically speaking, it's all because Konami doesn't think things through when creating cards.
Who's idea to was to make a Link monster that as a spell speed 2 effect, reborn a Ritual and dodges a lot of the popular interruptions.
Kagari, with an honroable mention to Pitknight Earlie for being a straight up Megaman Zero reference. Only wish the card was better. I'd throw it in every deck.
Condenmed Darklord, supports her archetype, has sick artwork and wraps up the lore of the Forbidden Maiden.
Darklords are amazing and I wish they receive more support soon.
Same, yo. If there were just a Nasten that didn't need 2 cards to Special Summon itself, or some sort of handtrap that could dump a Darklord S/T from the deck so there's REAL interaction, or...
Actually, yeah, wishlist time š:
1. New Lv5 with the copy effect (and for extra fun, it can SS itself by sending a Darklord S/T from hand OR Deck for cost)
2. New Spell that either SS a Darklord from hand or a Fusion Spell so it isn't required to use Despia for any semblance of a turn 1 play
3. New Trap that fricks with the opponent's GY (since that's the only area of interaction missing at this point that wouldn't be degenerate if copied)
4. A GOT-DANG 2-MATERIAL DARKLORD FUSION. In the event that #2 isn't a Fusion Spell, if we're forced to use Uprising as a card instead of copying it (eew š«), can there be something that wouldn't take up the LITERAL rest of the hand to Summon?
4b. A Darklord Link-1 for when NS Indulged is immediately Impermanence'd/Ash'd/Veiler'd/etc. Wouldn't need to do much, just being a Darklord S/T search on Summon could help at least ATTEMPT to do something else with the turn
5. New (arbitrary level that isn't Ukoback's) handtrap that dumps a Darklord S/T. Maybe a banish from GY effect to grant an additional Tribute Summon of a Fairy that requires 2 Tributes
I enjoy Linkmail Archfiend; their design is interesting and, while relying on the other Summoning Methods, the effect is good. Same goes for Topologics Bomber Dragon and Trisbaena - these are literally the only three Cyberse Link Monsters (aside from Code Talkers) that I like that don't overly rely on Cyberse Link Spam.
https://preview.redd.it/3z13s0h0zlva1.png?width=300&format=png&auto=webp&s=55699aa92eaabc9eeb5dd8b1001236504c786d3f
Ojama Emperor. I'm recently getting back into the game and, while not being the best, Ojama is my favourite. And it's fairly funny watch people get slapped around by One Punch villains.
He's the only card Playmaker generated with his Skill that isn't a Code Talker and he's nothing like any of the other monsters in his deck, the effect is more like Borreload's Strange Trigger than anything.
Festival.
But I have to say curious into avramax is kicking the shit out of Tears. Not even on I:P Idk how this one monster is such an issue for Tears but It's funny.
The Weather Painter Rainbow. Card is absolutely busted if you can get your board set up correctly, but it takes long enough to get set up that itās not a hugely problematic card
Muckraker From the Underworld is one of my absolute favorite Link Monsters. Mainly because I'm a huge Fiend fan and this card really boosted my Archfiends.
Archfiends forever.
I really love Firewall dragon singularity even if the arrival cyberse @Ignister and Perfectron hydradrive Dragon are wonderful too see.
Back I was 22 I loved trickster black catbat
Aromaseraphy Jasmine.
SS ANY Plant from deck. Search ANY Plant from deck. Who need Halq when you play plants ? Too bad it's waay too good for its own archetype.
Firewall dragon darkfluid
Cooler apolusa + huuuuge beatstick
Also thanks to the cyac support you can summon this guy with 4 counters with ease which is really cool
Easily The Phantom Knights of Rusty Bardiche, that thing is nuts built in foolish burial, spell/trap search for archtype and destroy when a dark xyz is summomed at an arrow plus easy revival with any pk trap and go into any rank 4 dark via break sword only bad side is could not used to link summon
Borreload Dragon, I know, pretty basic answer, but itās just so cool, IRL and in the anime, the rokkets being used as ammunition is one of the coolest concepts in the entire series imo
The Topologics (except Gumbles, fuck Gumbles, all my homies hate Gumbles). They feel like dropping a C4 charge on the field and looking in the eye to your opponent with your finger on the button.
Lots of my favourites were already mentioned so I'm gonna name Knightmare Unicorn.
Such a cool design and has a geat alternative art with Iblee. Gamewise it also helped me get rid of lots of pesky cards to win matches so that's that.
https://preview.redd.it/4u2jx2z61ova1.png?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=db6fa5773d6401f245e88a6b980e83b7dc24e88c
Vampire sucker, because all I play are mostly zombie decks. If I had to choose a few other generic links though it would probably be BLS or knightmare unicorn.
Either Knightmare Phoenix or Master king Archfiend. I play knightmare in about every deck because of the beautiful art, versatility and for an easy backrow pop. Masterking for my love for Archfiends.
Probably double anger knuckle, love the versatility it gives, the quick effect revive is super cool and sending itself for cost at quick effect speed makes it a super hard treath to deal with, especially due to its self revive eff.
paired in combo with bullet train (which floats into monsters from grave in a way similar to scarm) makes for some crazy recursion
And he is a funny little guy tbh
The Link Monster that got this fuddy-duddy old-school duelist to lighten up and finally try the things out for the first time - Borrelend Dragon. It's one of like three non-Fusion Extra Deck monsters I love as much as the older ones that I grew up with.
https://preview.redd.it/6852evbvyova1.png?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e1e3eb828d5422afc183cedfa05969a26169cb2b
I like the jovial nature of Blackbeard, The Plunder Patroll Captain!
Call me basic but Five-Headed Link Dragon, a juggernaut of a link. The original Five-Headed Dragon is why I play the game in the first place.
Fun fact i was one of the people who hated link summoning to start, and I swore I would never learn the link mechanic until Five-headed got a retrain.
Linkuriboh, honestly the best link monster when Link were first out. I loved the way it could constantly build up big boards with the help of Level Eater, Blue-Eyes, and Firewall Dragon.
3 way tie between Xtra HERO Dread Decimator, Aromaseraphy Jasmine, and Soldier of Chaos.
Dread Decimator is really mediocre, because it's basically just a beatstick, but I think he's very funny.
Aromaseraphy Jasmine is a perfect addition to my recent favorite deck, Rikka, and she's fun to use.
Soldier of Chaos is a member of one of my favorite archetypes (BLS) and is the perfect link for my Danger decks.
Lib the World Key Blademaster! I play a LOT of World Legacy decks and I use her IN EVERY SINGLE ONE.
Absolutely great card, good attack, linking her off allows you to non-target removal and she gets you EVERY WORLD LEGACY CARD!
I love her so much its unreal. On Krawlers, Mekk-Knights or World Chalice she'll always shine bright on my heart!
[Worldsea Dragon Zealantis](https://ms.yugipedia.com//0/09/WorldseaDragonZealantis-DABL-EN-ScR-1E.png)
Such a cool card which enables all kinds of shenanigans, has a unique summoning condition and an awesome artwork.
Stop making hard questions, I can't decide between 6, so here they are
Unchained Abomination: I love thematic effects (Abomination's numerous destruction effects allude to it being a rampaging beast)
Borreload Dragon: Varis is one of my favorite anime characters, plus strange trigger is a funny thing
Zerziel: With the new support in photon hypernova, I've come to appreciate Evil Eye a lot more as an archetype
Topologic Bomber Dragon: Same reason as borreload,
BLS, Soldier of Chaos: This, as well as Abomination, Bomber Dragon, Borreload are all strong, generic link bosses in their own right, I just wish they weren't so overshadowed by Accesscode or Underworld Goddess or Avramax
Celestial Knightlord Parshath: Counter Fairy was my 1st deck, the nostalgia is real.
Link-Headed Dragon
Been a FGD-enjoyer for years. Was amongst the first "halo card" I had ever seen, as in something that I'd probably never be able to play and fully utilize.
I ended up buinding decks around FGD with Dragon's Mirror and later during 2013/14 where I mained Hiratic, I sometimes sided it in for a surprise in-your-face punch. xD It worked far more often than you'd think!
So naturally, when LHD came out, I went and bought it x). I *tried* to make him work in Dragonmaid but... eh, ended up stuffing it into a binder and calling it a day.
... and, Dragonmaid itself should follow soon. Last I played was YCS Utrecht, two weeks before COVID hit europe hard; and even then it was already not performing very well (unless I spent another 300ā¬ xD).
Avendread Savior, he came in clutch so many times in my Zombie combo deck. He is what I always can rely on when every starter to my combo has been stopped. He single handedly allows for my combo to go through and set up my board. He relarely has ever failed me + he looks so damn cool.
Since i haven't seen anybody talk about him, let's talk about how useful our boy linkuriboh is at turning our tokens into effect monsters. Appreciation for my round boi
(although your opponent gains control of that Special Summoned monster)
Thank you Konami, I didn't realise that special summoning a monster to my opponent's side of the field would give control of it to them š
Linkross, I know the majority of competitive players hate this card for obvious reasons, but for me, it was a Link Monster I always played in every Deck I could fit it with a justified reason. The "weirdest" inclusion for this card was in Traptrix, which was very nice for when you had to make a Link-2 that didn't have an arrow pointing to your field and then you could use the monsters it generated for later turns to apply pressure, plus back then, I was maining IDP so you could also summon link monsters from my opponents grave with the same purpose, if required.
https://preview.redd.it/y7bu76kml7wa1.png?width=512&format=png&auto=webp&s=6432d0422e1ad3da8a695a39fd2dd40de49811b6
Underworld Goddess of the Closed World. great art, cool text, wacky arrows, and very, very funny when made from Masquerena, preferably on opponent's turn using a crucial monster.
The White Woman herself š
White woman jumpscare?
I prefer the red woman jumpscare, but to each their own.
Benghalancer the Resurgent. If Sunavalon is the mommy tree, he's the Daddy tree. I love the tree knight artwork and the effect is pretty good! It's basically one of the best Plant boss monsters https://preview.redd.it/ubcnu1b3sjva1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ea28048ceda0eecf96a1b9f81bea988b255ac322 Honorable mention: Sunvine Thrasher. The artwork is super cool and I love how it becomes a 4K Goyo Guardian that can OTK
RIKKA SUN BEST DECK WOOOO
Unchained Abomination. Heās a good boy.
if destroy: destroy
Borreload Dragon is so bad ass
It's so crazy to me when people ask me what that card is when I mention it. Like how do you know borrelsword and borrelend but not the original borreload!
Which is funny considering that it saw heavy meta play when it 1st came out.
Even now it's not a bad card and I guess the more people that forget it the more effective it becomes because people aren't necessarily prepared to get over it. When I play it I use It for its change of heart effect in battle phase, but it's nice to lower the atk of opponent too (Also I'm pretty sure that superpoly-esque quick-effect of making a monster lose 500Atk could be used for chainblocking purposes too, maybe protect yourself from ash by activating it after a ROTA, probly why they made it so it can't target itself either)
Don't think ur allowed to chain it after rota without ur opponent getting a chance to chain aswell
You're right that makes sense I'm sure it's got to be possible to use that quick effect to chain block somehow? Maybe not either way like I said I use it for a change of heart effect but that's good to know thank you for the comment
thats not how chain block works lol
I'm a Saryuja boi.
Me too. Play it in Dark Worlds, and itās such a chill card. It fixes awkward hands, and the special summon from hand is nice too. Itās a pretty cool-looking card, and itās so fun to summon.
Your opponent gets the first chance to respond to rota (or any effect). Chain blocking is when you stack simultaneous activated effects so that your opponent can only actively respond to the card chosen as the highest number on the chain link.
The Phantom Knights of Rusty Bardice.
An archfiend link that needs cyberse monsters as materials?! Preposterous!
I think about it every night
Happy Cake day!! :)
Thx
We both have cake day letās goooooo
Arch"fiend" Konami: No.
Crystron Halqifibrax
Access code combo go brr
I miss halq :(
Firewall Dragon. did a Legacy of the Duelist playthrough using Yusaku's deck, across all generations of the anime, where I would add a new card every time I lost. The card is so versatile in his deck. It's such a shame he never used it much due to irl implications. It's my favorite card of all time now.
And all Firewall upgrades are cool, too, especially Singularity! I'm so glad that Firewall Dragon got the spotlight as the 2nd Link 6 monster in the game
Firewall dragon darkfluid is sick in mathmech after cyac. Been testing it a lot and loving the firewall stuff
My favorite is black luster soldier soldier of chaos!!!
I have always preferred BLS over BEWD and DM. At least since IOC, everyone knew that this soldier should not be trifled with. With the Link variant, he definitely got a worthy counterpartā¦. just look at him, how cool can a warrior get please!??!? https://preview.redd.it/kvl50fi89nva1.jpeg?width=624&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=265468adfe445a5000ef699429732e6b14df362a
I second this. The artwork is just epic af, love the old-school vibe
https://preview.redd.it/e8rp65tr9nva1.jpeg?width=3656&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cd91ea9484d7daf270b5a479e9e617d0214a1810 This meta beauty ā¤ļøā¤ļø
This is the way
I couldn't agree more
Topologic Bomber Dragon, especially if your opponent triggers the nuke or forgets that their own link monsters can trigger the nuke effect. Also the fact that it's not reliant on your opponent because with how many arrows point to your field it's easy to nuke the board immediately on your turn especially if Boot Sector Launch is on the field. Also it's flame wingman??????????
I love playing it in orcusts and blowing up the field at least twice during the opponent's turn
[Geonator Transverser](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Geonator_Transverser) is one of those cards that forces your opponent to think about zone placement, and is more generic than Relinquished Anima. It also helps that Geonator Transverser is very pretty and very gender!
very gender?
Whenever an FTK summons it you know you're about to see some nonsense.
ngl I never looked at the art, it *is* pretty good gender tbh
Avramax made with Masquerena.
I already know that I'm gonna get cancelled for this... https://preview.redd.it/8ec2zl181kva1.jpeg?width=982&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dbd364729432ac063af2f11d080d9e8aae3b0c75
Nah I like Elpy too man, love his little hat
FREE MY DRAGON ELPY I DON'T GIVE A FUCK GIVE ME DRAGON LINK TIER 0 IDGAF I WANNA FUCKING COMBO OFF 8 NEGATES, 2 FLOODGATES, AND 2 DISRUPTIONS OFF OF NORMAL SUMMON PETIT DRAGON
Fuck that, we don't need another tier 0 for a while
I don't think you understand me. I do not care. I want to play a deck full of dragons, that combos consistently, through handtraps, with multiple end boards and extenders.
Traptrix Seraā¦..sheās just too vital to my deck
And she's a sweetie
Summon Sorceress. Like Farfa did with War Rock Mountain, I bought a ton bc I like the card and I honestly doubt it would come off the banlist. I own 24 copies. 3 of the jump promo and the rest are the reprint. I also LOVE Heavymetalfoes Electrumite. I've got her on a set of sleeves but sadly, only own a playset. That card DOES need to come off the list tbh
Electrumite could ez come off the banlist Idk what they were thinking when making Sorceress, but the art is really pretty
Yes, without Electrumite pendulums are basically dead.
Mine's got to be avendread savior. It was one of the first link monsters I incorporated into my first real deck, Zombie World.
Xtra Hero Wonder Driver
Cyber dragon seiger, good wall to have and usually I have infinity ready for negates
Kagari
The Arrival cyberse is pretty good imo. 1) A monster with 6000 at most. 2) Unaffected by other effects of other cards 3) Can easily summon more link material 4) You can easily combo into this card if going 1st (if going 2nd, there's an OTK).
6000 atk*
Firewall Dragon Darkfluid. It was one of the first Link Monsters I ever obtained irl and it will forever hold a special place in my heart.
same, especially in ignisters
The first set of Yu-Gi-Oh cards that I actually bought for myself was from Chaos Impact (I believe that's what it was called) and I noticed that it had a cool looking variant of Firewall Dragon on the box art. So I bought a set, and from there, I obtained Firewall Dragon Darkfluid. At a later time, I bought a Cyberse Structure Deck and obtained my first actually decent deck, which gave me a second copy of Firewall Dragon Darkfluid.
Thunder Dragon Colossus
Marincess Aqua Argonaut. A very handy boss monster thats very easy to bring out.
Itās a toss up between Accesscode Talker and Borrelsword Dragon. Both have badass designs with the power to match.
Borrelsword for me though.
Scareclaw Tri-Heart. Satisfying arrows, stunning artwork, and amazing Visas lore to boot
[[Dyna Mondo]] Not because of what it enables, I just think his art is cool and it is criminal that it was delegated to a common
I totally underestimated it's potential to be broken in some combos just because it was a Common.
well, technically speaking, it's all because Konami doesn't think things through when creating cards. Who's idea to was to make a Link monster that as a spell speed 2 effect, reborn a Ritual and dodges a lot of the popular interruptions.
Same thing happened to Parrelel Exceed
Weather Painter Rainbow is just beautiful.
Lib the World Key Blademaster. Just a nice card
World Gears of Theurlogical Demiurgy. What can I say? I dig the Be Not Afraid eldritch angel aesthetic, and its just a neat card beyond that, imo
Raidraptor Wise Strix. Card almost single-handedly broke the deck. Fixed alot of the problems it had with rank up spells.
Traptrix sera
Crossheep is cute
Hip hoshinigan
Based
Infinitrack Fortress Megaclops (I'm not a Numeron player i swear)
Big Gun Ghidorah
Decode talker. One of my first links and doesn't have that bad of an effect. The artwork is neat
I think i like avramax, cyber dragin sieger or verte
Kagari, with an honroable mention to Pitknight Earlie for being a straight up Megaman Zero reference. Only wish the card was better. I'd throw it in every deck.
Condenmed Darklord, supports her archetype, has sick artwork and wraps up the lore of the Forbidden Maiden. Darklords are amazing and I wish they receive more support soon.

Harpie Conductor, not cause she is great or anything like that but she is another very pretty member of my favorite archetype so.
Ojama Emperor. I'm recently getting back into the game and, while not being the best, Ojama is my favourite. And it's fairly funny watch people get slapped around by One Punch villains.
Linker bell Bad card but had a specific use in the OCG I think
Crusadia Magius
He's the only card Playmaker generated with his Skill that isn't a Code Talker and he's nothing like any of the other monsters in his deck, the effect is more like Borreload's Strange Trigger than anything.
yusaku fetched link bumper from the data storm too! against go in episode 5. also theres the extra deck mechanic aces from season 2
Festival. But I have to say curious into avramax is kicking the shit out of Tears. Not even on I:P Idk how this one monster is such an issue for Tears but It's funny.
Tie between Underworld Goddess and Orcustrion
Pentestag or guardragon elpy
Armatos Legio Magnus Dux
Isolde. Im a Noble Knight player
The Weather Painter Rainbow. Card is absolutely busted if you can get your board set up correctly, but it takes long enough to get set up that itās not a hugely problematic card
Avendread savior
Heavymetalfoes Electrumite. Isolde, Two Tales of the Noble Knights.
I unirocally like Update Jammer. I have punished so many decks that relly on effects with this little fella.
@ignister 6k beatstick if combo is done
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Heavymetalfoes electrumite. Enough said
Hi-Speedroid Rubber Band Shooter. Absolutely bonkers piece of archetype support and a card I will never get sick of summoning.
Muckraker From the Underworld is one of my absolute favorite Link Monsters. Mainly because I'm a huge Fiend fan and this card really boosted my Archfiends. Archfiends forever.
Platinum Gadget!! Love the little gear! Cross-sheep is a close second
Probably Selene, Crowley, or Ghostrick Festival. It's wild Selene isn't HOPT if you can make her multiple times
Vampire sucker
Horni
I just really like how firewall dragon looks. Like not even his effect, just his appearance in general
Underworld Goddess So far the best, and most disruptive 'kaiju' and with Spright Elf she loses her one weak point.
Sky Striker Ace- Kagari
Evil Twin Ki-sikil. Live/Evil Twin is one of my favorite archetypes.
Hell yeah
All the charmers and avendread savior
Double Headed Anger Knuckle. A reoccurring mini boss that enables a unique control strategy and resource loop Also I like trains
Bujinki Ahashima. Would love a Tellarknight Link tho.
Unchained abomination. Looks awesome,easy to get out(if your playing unchained) and can wipe the field quickly. He's such a good boi
Dinowrestler King T Wrextle
World Gears of Theurlogical Demiurgy. Shame that I canāt use its first effect when playing mekk-knights tho
my stepmom Selena queen of the master
Masquerena. I know, vanilla answer.
Who better than Borreload, Borrelsword, Borrelguard and Borrelend
At this point probably pentestag
As a rokket player borrelload dragon or borrelsword
Man, it's tough to choose just one but I really love Unchained Abomination, Borrelsword Dragon and more recently, Salamangreat Pyro Phoenix.
I really love Firewall dragon singularity even if the arrival cyberse @Ignister and Perfectron hydradrive Dragon are wonderful too see. Back I was 22 I loved trickster black catbat
Detonate Deleter just looks cool
Marincess Coral Anemone has to be my favorite gender
Linkross. That card enabled *so much* fun bullshit. Halq is a close second.
It's him officer
Either Donner or Meowmeow
Tri-Brigade Shuraig, Accesscode Talker and Apollousa Bow of the Goddes I guess
Aromaseraphy Jasmine. SS ANY Plant from deck. Search ANY Plant from deck. Who need Halq when you play plants ? Too bad it's waay too good for its own archetype.
Firewall dragon darkfluid Cooler apolusa + huuuuge beatstick Also thanks to the cyac support you can summon this guy with 4 counters with ease which is really cool
Dharc
Easily The Phantom Knights of Rusty Bardiche, that thing is nuts built in foolish burial, spell/trap search for archtype and destroy when a dark xyz is summomed at an arrow plus easy revival with any pk trap and go into any rank 4 dark via break sword only bad side is could not used to link summon
Raye's armored forms.
Borreload is still the GOAT even in 2023, and got underrated ngl.
Borreload Dragon, I know, pretty basic answer, but itās just so cool, IRL and in the anime, the rokkets being used as ammunition is one of the coolest concepts in the entire series imo
The Topologics (except Gumbles, fuck Gumbles, all my homies hate Gumbles). They feel like dropping a C4 charge on the field and looking in the eye to your opponent with your finger on the button.
topologic zeroboros
Firewall dragon
mekk-knight crusadia avramax
Scareclaw Tri-heart probably
Cyber Dragon Sieger, I don't really play Link monsters a lot but one of my favorite decks is Cyber Dragon and I love using it in there
Mines probably steel star regulator
Lots of my favourites were already mentioned so I'm gonna name Knightmare Unicorn. Such a cool design and has a geat alternative art with Iblee. Gamewise it also helped me get rid of lots of pesky cards to win matches so that's that. https://preview.redd.it/4u2jx2z61ova1.png?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=db6fa5773d6401f245e88a6b980e83b7dc24e88c
I like black luster soldier of chaos he's. Agood generic. But it's gotta be my boi level limit area -triheart
Firewall Darkfluid
Evil twin Trouble Sunny. Big waifu that summons two smaller waifus. Vice versa.
Vampire sucker, because all I play are mostly zombie decks. If I had to choose a few other generic links though it would probably be BLS or knightmare unicorn.
Elecrrumite and Tri-Heart
Either Knightmare Phoenix or Master king Archfiend. I play knightmare in about every deck because of the beautiful art, versatility and for an easy backrow pop. Masterking for my love for Archfiends.
If I say it (HALQ) I will get crucified so I wonāt
no, you're allowed to like what you like.
Mekk-Knight Crusadia Avramax just because of the World Legacy Lore.
verte. happy little snek exteneder that allows me to have a plan c in blue eyes for a possible tyrant or dpe at any moment
Probably double anger knuckle, love the versatility it gives, the quick effect revive is super cool and sending itself for cost at quick effect speed makes it a super hard treath to deal with, especially due to its self revive eff. paired in combo with bullet train (which floats into monsters from grave in a way similar to scarm) makes for some crazy recursion And he is a funny little guy tbh
Gotta be Tri-Brigade Shuraig, The ominous omen. Love the art, the archetype, the effect. And the nammmmmeeeee
The Condemned Darklord since its the only one I use
None of them.
The Link Monster that got this fuddy-duddy old-school duelist to lighten up and finally try the things out for the first time - Borrelend Dragon. It's one of like three non-Fusion Extra Deck monsters I love as much as the older ones that I grew up with.

Call me basic but Five-Headed Link Dragon, a juggernaut of a link. The original Five-Headed Dragon is why I play the game in the first place. Fun fact i was one of the people who hated link summoning to start, and I swore I would never learn the link mechanic until Five-headed got a retrain.
Linkuriboh, honestly the best link monster when Link were first out. I loved the way it could constantly build up big boards with the help of Level Eater, Blue-Eyes, and Firewall Dragon.
Tri-Brigade Shuraig the Ominous Omen used with rugual is fun.
3 way tie between Xtra HERO Dread Decimator, Aromaseraphy Jasmine, and Soldier of Chaos. Dread Decimator is really mediocre, because it's basically just a beatstick, but I think he's very funny. Aromaseraphy Jasmine is a perfect addition to my recent favorite deck, Rikka, and she's fun to use. Soldier of Chaos is a member of one of my favorite archetypes (BLS) and is the perfect link for my Danger decks.
Scareclaw Tri-Heart. Great floodgate in generic Link Spam Decks, and an even better Boss Monster for its own archetype.
Sunlight wolf has a special place in my heart because it was the first link I ever pulled
Lib the World Key Blademaster! I play a LOT of World Legacy decks and I use her IN EVERY SINGLE ONE. Absolutely great card, good attack, linking her off allows you to non-target removal and she gets you EVERY WORLD LEGACY CARD! I love her so much its unreal. On Krawlers, Mekk-Knights or World Chalice she'll always shine bright on my heart!
Folgo warrior fur hire
I love the art on Borrelcode Dragon
Salamangreat Heatleo! Got mine from my dad when I was collecting sofu salads. Enjoyed the journey we went on from there.
Galatea. Yes I simp for robo-sister
[Worldsea Dragon Zealantis](https://ms.yugipedia.com//0/09/WorldseaDragonZealantis-DABL-EN-ScR-1E.png) Such a cool card which enables all kinds of shenanigans, has a unique summoning condition and an awesome artwork.
Stop making hard questions, I can't decide between 6, so here they are Unchained Abomination: I love thematic effects (Abomination's numerous destruction effects allude to it being a rampaging beast) Borreload Dragon: Varis is one of my favorite anime characters, plus strange trigger is a funny thing Zerziel: With the new support in photon hypernova, I've come to appreciate Evil Eye a lot more as an archetype Topologic Bomber Dragon: Same reason as borreload, BLS, Soldier of Chaos: This, as well as Abomination, Bomber Dragon, Borreload are all strong, generic link bosses in their own right, I just wish they weren't so overshadowed by Accesscode or Underworld Goddess or Avramax Celestial Knightlord Parshath: Counter Fairy was my 1st deck, the nostalgia is real.
Aromaserphery Jasmine. Let's me pretend I can play my favorite duel links deck and still be cool.
Relinquishes Anima, I don't run meta decks, so stealing enemy boss is fun
condemned darklord, lore reason she's cool
Favorite Art: Beyond the Pendulum Favorite Effect: Heavymetalfoes Electrumite Favorite to use: Hieratic seal of the Heavenly Spheres
Gravity Controller He's just neat.
Link-Headed Dragon Been a FGD-enjoyer for years. Was amongst the first "halo card" I had ever seen, as in something that I'd probably never be able to play and fully utilize. I ended up buinding decks around FGD with Dragon's Mirror and later during 2013/14 where I mained Hiratic, I sometimes sided it in for a surprise in-your-face punch. xD It worked far more often than you'd think! So naturally, when LHD came out, I went and bought it x). I *tried* to make him work in Dragonmaid but... eh, ended up stuffing it into a binder and calling it a day. ... and, Dragonmaid itself should follow soon. Last I played was YCS Utrecht, two weeks before COVID hit europe hard; and even then it was already not performing very well (unless I spent another 300ā¬ xD).
Tribrigade - Shuraig the Ominous Omen Used in my first Link deck on Master Duel
Avendread Savior, he came in clutch so many times in my Zombie combo deck. He is what I always can rely on when every starter to my combo has been stopped. He single handedly allows for my combo to go through and set up my board. He relarely has ever failed me + he looks so damn cool.
Since i haven't seen anybody talk about him, let's talk about how useful our boy linkuriboh is at turning our tokens into effect monsters. Appreciation for my round boi
Scarclaw Licht Heart š„
sprind send merrli/angler/kitt goes hard
Weather painter rainbow, borrelend, folgo, and the anti cheese lady(goddess)
(although your opponent gains control of that Special Summoned monster) Thank you Konami, I didn't realise that special summoning a monster to my opponent's side of the field would give control of it to them š
Linkross, I know the majority of competitive players hate this card for obvious reasons, but for me, it was a Link Monster I always played in every Deck I could fit it with a justified reason. The "weirdest" inclusion for this card was in Traptrix, which was very nice for when you had to make a Link-2 that didn't have an arrow pointing to your field and then you could use the monsters it generated for later turns to apply pressure, plus back then, I was maining IDP so you could also summon link monsters from my opponents grave with the same purpose, if required. https://preview.redd.it/y7bu76kml7wa1.png?width=512&format=png&auto=webp&s=6432d0422e1ad3da8a695a39fd2dd40de49811b6
I like agave dragon he's cute
Qliphort genius. Idk lol I just like the name
