Obligatory

So I've been taking a break since May, and I'm ready to jump back in.

Since Links released, what are the contenders for good decks? I want to buy IRL because I'm about to move to a place that has a FLGS nearby.

Currently, I have a Phantasm Spiral deck.

name on shrek

zoo, true draco, and dinosaurs. no challengers even on the horizon.

Phantasm can steal wins here and there, just study the match-up against meta decks (mainly zoo and true dracos) and you should do decently

>ignoring raw visual evidence
Is this the contrarian effect?

Veeky Forums is leaking

>Those hips and tits on the zombieness
Would ride her tomb

Imagine her handjobs.

>revenantess could give a handjob to a large dragon dick

I'm running that except 2 doctor (might bump it up) and 2 honest with 2 ties
Honest can be the damage step tipping point in my experience
Neverendorphin + cross dominator + honest hits like a truck
I tried photon lead to summon honest out and proc off column effects, and then returned it to the hand later on but it wasn't as useful in the long run as I had hoped

explain

>I tried photon lead to summon honest out and proc off column effects, and then returned it to the hand later on but it wasn't as useful in the long run as I had hoped
That sounds impractical as fuck, and kinda backfiring too, you are killing you honest surprise factor, unless you can end the game right there not worth imo

Yeah it totally didn't work except once or twice when I needed the 1000 damage attacking directly
Complete wash would not recommend

...

What did they mean by this?

I'm trying to catch up to the meta right now.
Is Metaverse a good card? It seems good, but I'm an idiot

Terraforming is going to be better unless you're playing Psyframes or something else that wants to be activated during your opponent's turn.

This needs a censure

One of the greatest card arts in the game.

Is there any banned synchro monster they could replace Goyo with?

Nope, the TCG doesn't have any banned Synchros.

Even if there was one, that would be too much effort for KoA.

>there are no banned ritual monsters
>there are no banned synchro monsters
>there are 2 banned fusion monsters
>there are 5 banned Xyz monsters(and 4 of them are Rank 4)
>there are 3 banned Pendulum monsters

Why are Blue and White cards so lacking in power?

There are two banned Tuners, which should count for White cards, I think.
Fishborg needs to get off the banlist so I can play Fish OTK again. Fuck Formula Monarchs for killing my petdeck.

Shurit is close enough to Ritual tbqh

This.
Also, there are banned/limited tuners as well.

If Konami brought back the banned Djinns. would Rituals shoot to the top?

>banned Djinns
It's literally just releaser and even if she were to come back to 3, rituals would still be dead as ever since OCG hit Nekroz lighter than TCG and never banned releaser but Nekroz still got powercreeped out.

Then came Cyber Angels, BLS and Shinobirds but we all know how those decks turned out.

b-but muh herald petdeck

>m-muh herald of ultimateness

seriously thought that cards annoying

Vendread is shaping up to not totally suck as a Ritual + Synchro combo deck.

They will fuck it up.

This Link Strike starter deck has a ton of good reprints. The structure later this year is amazing too. They really do go all out with these products now and the TCG isn't swapping out the good cards anymore.

>Vendread
>Synchro
??????

Zombies will always be synchro bait.

>2017
>not knowing about Zombie deck playstyle

The use the zombie synchro shit to recycle banished mezuki and what not.

>2010 + 7
>shitters still aren't running a 3 hump lacoda draw engine
lmao

Just like psychics, right?
Who can forget the synchro spam from Ritual Beast, Kozmo and Metalfoes?

>dump with burial
>ss with debris dragon
>activate inferno reckless summon
>draw 3
Sounds fun honestly.

Fuck yeah, new cards!
>[Duel Links]
>It's actually old cards
Of course!

Perhaps I should write a script that filters out any entry with the Duel Links tag or something.
>it's not even tagged duel links this time
Fuck. Well it's possible to filter the titles too, but really. I couldn't be any less interested in Duel Links. And any time I am led to believe even if for a moment, that there are actually news for the actual game even though that's not the case at all, I am annoyed.

>Not running this, Machine dupe and the Dupe target to draw 4

Zombies have literally always lended themselves to Synchros very well.
Even if Vendread is the best Ritual deck since Nekroz, it'll still be better by adding Uni-Zombie and it's synchro pals.

Those decks don't even run the same cards as Psychic Synchro did outside of Emergency Teleport.

Zoodiacs are too strong.

This has been the case since RATE my friend.

If it was Level 2, it could be used with Obedience Schooled at least.

>Not having a 2nd one set so you draw 8 in total
Git gud

Do you see this card in my hand?
It means your monster is already dead. There's nothing you can do about it, your monster is sent to the graveyard just by attempting to use this card.

you sure about that?

Do you see this monster on the field?

It means you already lost the game and there's nothing you can do about it

Fuck off Kenshiro

lol

>Circuit Break Links need Links from specific a Type/Attribute as Link Materials

What the fuck, this set is worst than the Assault Mode one.

But look at all the new Dragons!

Dogoran is better.

>Give Dogoran to your opponent
>activate pic related
>activate Remove Brainwashing after

gg ;)

Which one you takin down, boy?

Thanks for the free negates bro

>Dragons
Arc-v made me hate dragons I hope vrains doesn't continue this.

>Hating Dragons

>liking animals that threaten your lively hood
Yeah,fuck dragons.

Vullets so far are a joke of a rival archetype, a real downfall from D/D.

They're going to need a hell of a lot of support to be good as ABC.

How can one have taste this shitty

What's the one on the right?

Tiger King

It's especially disappointing because D/D/D actually seemed to be getting away from the rival Dragon fetish. Seriously, can't we have a rival who uses Pyros or something?

>oh no scary fictional lizards with wings will to kill you!!

Konami probably just too scared to deviate away from Kaiba as the base of all rivals in YGO series.

If they don't use Machines or Dragons, they may as well not exist where that anime is concerned.

>taking it literal
Nice one captain autismo.

Who is Shark

not this guy

>Sharks
>not dragons of the sea

>i-i was just pretending to be retarded!

Who's the guy with the 3K ace and the "K" name?

I miss O'brien too

Look at at what I said and what you said. Stop meming you'r showing how retarded really are.

it's not a good idea to call people retards when you type like a retard, retard

Getting back into the game after a year hiatus. Are abc's still viable in the link format?

Wait for Proxy Dragonin the tins and Zoos to die first

need proxy dragon and zoo to be dead first for the tcg

Right a typo makes me a retard you're pathetic.

They're pretty good in OCG because zoo is dead and proxy dragon. zoo will likely die in TCG next banlist and we're getting proxy dragon in the next tin.

reeeee just give me the rest of the weathery cards

Thanks amigos. So I need proxy dragon for it to be decent. Can I still play the deck and have success with it at locals until proxy dragon comes out in August?

you can pick a decode talker, that chicken tuner, ancient fairy and try it out, but it'll be good with proxy and in november with destrudo

As long as you are ready to get dicked on by this guy yeah.

How much peace do you suck from his dick MPfagot?

I've got an $100 budget.
What deck should I make for link format?

yang zing dino

SPYRAL is super cheap.

>$100 budget
>need 3 diagrams

phantasm sprial with 3x card of demise

you don't meed 3 diagrams to make the deck function. You can run lost world instead. 2nd best deck in the ocg with only 1 diagram.
