There's also a Joey Vs Pegasus one where he uses burning abyss monsters instead of toons, I'm watching it right now but it's not that fun
Nathaniel Reyes
An exciting mistake
Evan Rodriguez
The BA vs Red Eyes duel was so fucking stupid. If you turn the volume up you can hear a couple of people calling almost every move he makes because of how boring and predictable the deck is.
Carson Foster
consistency = competitiveness
Thomas Gray
It was still one of the worst duels they've ever done. Nobody was hyped up and I'm pretty sure BAs still won in the end, which didn't even help them sell Red-Eyes cards (since the duel was meant to advertise them).

the new counter traps are neat with voltanis, especially ultimate providence. too I can't ever pull voltanis in my starting hand despite having 3 and if I do it's all 3 of them at once.
James Taylor
Whatcha think of this pull?
Jaxon Morales
>3 star demotion: break one of the biggest rule in the game to summon a boss monster for almost nothing >luck on your side: just activate the card effect to destroy everything why would they add ridiculous skills like this?

i haven't seen tea in the last 20 duels i've had also no other deck besides tea runs burn and even if they did who carries enough burn for 100-2k damage? 3SD was a mistake
Landon Barnes
Friendly reminder that instead of properly nerfing 3SD Komoney instead banned Dark magician
Really makes u fink
Carson Moore

Christian Hughes
>inb4 busta bladder
Just use Dgate with basically any other monster lmao
Brody Richardson
A lot of people forget that you benefit from the opponent's field
I use normal harpies as ammo for OTC so I can counter HHG as well
Adrian Miller
If it was an honest mistake then it's alright. I thought you were just being mean spirited at first.
Jackson Taylor
Damn Toon Kingdom seems really fucking good.

don't forget easy barrel dragon for the chance to pop any of your monsters

You gotta learn how to counter bullshit with bullshit, user.
Samuel Garcia
Is that cheating?
Julian Hughes
Silver is basically casuals. Just don't win too much at you get to gold.
Elijah Reyes
No its his skill, [Recontract Universe]. Available in Duel Links coming the year 2020.
David Davis
i wanna say that's an illegal move but with all the novels printed on every card i won't even question it
i just wanted to climb the ranks with dino beatdown, mainly because of the release of black tyranno, i don't wanna resort to cancer that is harpies/relinquished/3SD
Juan Morgan
wait you can't pvp? are you just playing the game to duel the SD?
Nathaniel Collins
i use a modded apk to farm, and the actual apk to pvp. i mixed up the emulators..
Julian Myers
>i don't wanna resort to cancer that is harpies/relinquished/3SD why?
Elijah Gutierrez
>It's a Relinquished in casual episode
I'm actually happy my connection crapped out before I had to deal with that shitshow
Zachary Powell
because i'm sick of seeing it everywhere in higher ranks, my boredom of it is why i degraded back down to silvers to begin with except harpies, i've just always hated them
Easton Cook
Will amazoness be good when they add more of the cards?
Levi Peterson
I hate it too, but you either run meta decks (Harpie, 3SD) or run anti-meta decks (Weevil, Clowns), or you're pretty much stuck in gold
Logan Collins
When?
Anthony Green
i wish! apparently it's only a secret card you can use with pegasus skill "creator of the cards" or something. defender and breaker
Jordan Young
Actually dueling 40 Mai and not farming her is a pain in the dick so probably.
Joseph Green
of course, that's just how competitive games (especially card games) work, but the underdog mentality keeps me trying to break through them with something different anyway
i managed to hit platinums with a basic incomplete dragon deck a while ago but that was probably a big chunk of dumb luck to get there, didn't even have any totem dragons or a third vanguard
Landon Peterson
Ooh, I want Breaker too. Sucks you can only use them atm because of a skill.
Thomas Jackson

Brayden Ross
PSA you can chain two pronged attack to bonfire collossus' effect to destroy an opponents monster for no cost
Nolan Wright

Matthew Adams
any tips?
I'm just using Curse as fodder until I can get a White Horn.
Jayden Bailey
>but the underdog mentality keeps me trying to break through them with something different anyway same, I tried many different non-meta decks before I just gave up and went full harpie retard.
Good luck in finding something that works user
Isaiah Phillips
Don't you have a luster dragon to use instead of curse?
Either way, seems like a lot of tribute monsters even with the two totem dragons. You could get dead draws way too easily
Grayson Brooks
i'm really gonna need it, my only options are to finish my dino deck or finish my dragons deck just used up the last of my keys on him too and trader is being very stingy with his vanguards and totem dragons
Jaxson Gray
>on him *on rex, rather
James White
Don't give up on it, user. I'm on the same boat, I have underdog/special snowflake mentality and keep trying different things. Like this stupid ass plant deck.
We'll make it soon brother, keep your chin up
Jackson Wilson
3 wyverns
Carter Long
Post your plant deck.
I'm playing bluff trap right now but 3sd is not a good match up.
Alexander Rogers
t b h this is how I think the game is the most fun. When you're trying non-meta decks trying to make your way up the ladder. Sure, get KoG a few times, but after that it's more fun IMO to ignore the meta.
I'm gonna make Plat with my kickfire deck, you just watch
Joshua Richardson
>plants even i think you're crazy
but that also sounds too cool to not try at some point, what kind of secret tech do the little guys have?
Austin Long
Psyche, It is I, Shitty Theme Duelist user once again to report...It's still garbage! But I think I'm making progress.
Right now that's the best I can do. I can deal well enough with most normal drops and 4 stars but the moment something strong comes in I'm fucked, that's why the Wonder balloons and metalmorph.
Naturia Strawberry is my absolute nigga. Seed of Flame, not so much. Dead card most of the time
Leo Perry
You want to know secret techs? Wonder Clover is actually surprisingly legit. It works on any monster so if I have gearfried or the bean out I can surprise people.
The trick here is play defensively. I have a tendency to attack things like a retard, but since strawberry is so weak I have to set up traps and wait until they attack first. Plant Food Chain is the only reason this is marginally viable.
I used to have treaty of uniform nomeclature earlier, but it's just not worth it. Storm gets me more milleage.
Jacob Reed

What are people thinking about the new booster?
Ryder Collins
It's got some pretty good stuff, but has limited staples like NI and UR have
Dylan Jackson
I once ran into someone who I thought was a retard because he was using plants. He the proceeded to empty his deck into the gy and then use that one raging mad plants cars. Then I magic drained it so now I'll never see the end of his super plant combo.
Ayden Bennett
Pretty neat.
Here's my updated plant deck. Swapped up mirror wall and windstorm for Dgates because I've been running into so much BS lately (relinq, 3sd, otc). Half shut because plants have low defence.
Parker Morgan
P o w e r c r e e p Kabazauls and Angus are great beatsticks
Adam Perry
i like it adds a new element URs are pretty good (red lotus) a lot of players are hype for the red eyes support though (even after shitting on super joey)
Oliver Price
Actually, I want ZeXal Form Yuma to be added to Duel Links as an event enemy (like Bakura and Yugi currently are), and I want his Lv 30/40 skill to be Re-Contract Universe.
>Yeah, that card I just played? Completely different card now.
Hunter Ortiz
Retrains are cool
Gabriel Williams
...
Eli Jenkins
Event enemies for Zexal might be the Barians, Astral, Eliphas and some of the other side characters. I hope to god Anna is a main character so that I can go full train autism.
Though it would be funny as fuck if 90% of the Zexal skills are just Shining/Barian's Draw, the Seventh One would be too broken in this game though.
Leo Cruz
Man, I really want Lekunga. 1700 atk would make it an actually halfway decent drop that I could use to attack, and get rid of fucking seed of flame.
I'm not gonna get D. gates but once I get Mai up to a high enough level I'l train Kaiba and get myself some matter transporters. Should work just as well.
Isaac Jones

Angel James
Plants have a great cardfu either way.
Jacob Lee

Brandon Nelson
When?
Jack Reed
Dgates are much more versatile. Being able to steal your opponent's monster on top of dodging bs is very powerful.
I wouldn't run more than 1 IMT.
Blake Gray
...
Jaxon Rodriguez
STARSCREEEAAAMMM!!!
Carter King
Well I can't acquire a D. Gate at all anymore since the paradox brothers aren't in an event, so I'm shit out of luck either way. I'll make do with one IMT and something else
Ryan Garcia

Christian Edwards
what's the relationship between gaia and BLS?
Lincoln Long
...
James Turner
I'm assuming it's just because Yugi used it to summon BLS a few times in the anime.
A lot of cards are mude purely due to synergy.
