Won't be adding any more. Hopefully 5 people is legitimate. Just feeling a bit jipped getting about a quarter of Vagabonds in return while I could have been sharing them with someone who gives a shit.
Kayden Davis
mind letting me know which you are? i got multiple requests at the same time you'll definitely be high priority though

Drop -- And don't worry, I'm not tracking it with a spreadsheet or whatever. But it gets pretty obvious quickly, over 2 weeks of getting fuck-all while giving them (even multiple) each day and they're online frequently every day.

I decided to try my labyrinth builder farm deck with Marik anyway and it's worked twice in a row. I noticed some weird shit >once he summons Des Gardius he will not summon other monsters I watched him discard his Bowganian from his hand despite having two open slots on his field. >will not activate any facedowns so long as you never summon anything
When I do some more farms tomorrow I'll report back and confirm consistency. His lack of summoning monsters stops you from summoning Megacyber, so you will need x3 UA to hit the 9999 threshold. If you only have 2, it's still a consistent 6k or so method

So I just got to chapter 13 and have missions to unlock pegasus and paradox brothers, I dont think I plan to unlock them anytime soon though since I am still new player but if I go to next chapter will their character unlock missions still stay there?
I dont really want to do ranked yet and not sure if I can do some of the other requirements reliably
just wondering if these missions will stay if I go to next stage instead
Xavier Reyes
They just clog up your mission screen until you get around to doing them.
Parker Long
they stay there forever
Gabriel Johnson
sweet thanks
Colton Hughes
alt costumes when
Adam Bailey
Once they've scraped the bottom of the barrel of DM characters and need to put something new to keep players that only care about the original series around.
Brandon Miller
at that point wouldn't DMfags scared away by synchro, pendulum and stuff anyway?
Brayden King
It wouldn't surprise me if Konami offers a NO SYNCHRO/NO XYZ format.
Jason Nguyen
But GX can get costumes too.

I'm playing Dinos it counters CA

Post deck pls
Adrian Moore
yo, is it worth building a winged beast deck with the shit I pulled while trying to get Skull?
Julian James
Why did you want to get Skull anyway? It's not that good.
Logan Scott
attached emotionally due to estranged childhood now to try for two more
Benjamin Gomez
There is anything worthy in the new mini-box? I was thinking about getting some BLS boosters because Double Summon will be useful for Ra decks.
Grayson Bailey
So when I am KoG I can just try meme decks out right? There is no reason to keep tryharding and play meta?

What is a good combo to get massive Battle Damage for missions? I just realized Union Attack doesn't work.

You guys gonna watch MCS4 tomorrow? I'm competing with 25-card ninja and a real spicy second deck.

Lieral?

The one and only, ayup. Sorry I didn't appear in the last DLPT, went out somewhere with the family.

Lieral, I watched you at ninja king of the hill, you were insane man hahaha, I hope you take 1st place tommorow
Jaxon Ward
I hope you get a chance to show of some funny techs. As long as you stay /ourguy/ I will root for you.
Christopher Morales
Wait, wasn't the AI originally programmed to NOT use Nightmare Wheel on a Union-Boosted Vassal?
Levi Lopez
Why do you think every deck list runs Anti-Mene Arrows? You did this to yourself.
Caleb Roberts

Luke Peterson
Nice prismatic alchemy, can I look at it for a second?
David Morgan
What counter you'll use against burn?
Cooper Cox
Either I don't trigger 3SD or the second deck will handle it.
Dominic Bailey
Spyral in Duel Link when?
Oliver Gonzalez
did they give anything for christmas last year?
David Baker
It would be nice to have the chars in the different outfits they appeared in. Yugi and the gang using their battle city clothes would be a nice change, and things like Ishizu without her hood would be a nice change too.
>at that point wouldn't DMfags scared away by synchro, pendulum and stuff anyway?
You'd by surprised at how many DM fags would openly accept new card types just because they want new stuff, not caring about how it would affect balance. There are even DL youtubers saying they'd gladly take them to make things 'less boring'
The Yu-Gi-Oh community is as self-destructive as Konami, except Konami gains in profits for fucking up
Parker Jones

Andrew Bell
just b urself, and if you use a joey structure deck you're also certainly going to win 3
Joshua Cook
I got serg with 10 packs left shut the fuck up
Chase Flores
there's nothing wrong with the other summoning types. powercreep is the natural progression of the game, and how duel links has been run as well. it's impossible to keep the card game going if you can't add support and can only add sidegrades. it becomes stale and you run out of options of potential effects to add.
Ian Miller
What is the best dragon deck right now?
Other than red eyes..
Carter Campbell
Dmfags don't accept anything beyond GX and don't even know the basic rules. they complain about broken shit. but don't realize that the skill system of DL is just straight up 5Ds and zexal era vanilla card effects. 3SD is just straight up the archtype SS effect from high level decks that enables the players to tune the levels or just swarm the field with heavy hitters like Malefic, Six Samurai, TG Engine, Synchron Engine, Plant Synchro Engine, Mega Monarchs, Qli, Trains and Galaxy Eyes, Modern Blue Eyes and many other decks
Kayden Howard
Pendulum summoning can stay the fuck right off for all I care.
Lucas Adams
Trap Jammer's been working for me.
I hope they fucking add Arkana LVL40 soon
Asher Ortiz
the red eyes decks aren't dragons, they're zombies horus, but horus is trash. dragons are trash right now.

You can EASILY add tons of support without adding in the problem children that even Konami admits fucked the game up. People will still have way more options and the ability to swarm, just not able to lock down entire fields with XYZ and Syncro summons when they're done. Cyber Angels aren't even XYZ/Synchros but they're the perfect examples of cards that shouldn't have been added (or at least not until waaaaaaaay later) because of much they shaped the meta within an entire week. Konami is now forced to add more bullshit cards/decks like the new ninja support that makes it just as bad as CA just to give players the ability to combat it, even them pushing all these extremely powerful backrow cards were a result of needing more things to deal with CA. But I guess these sort of things people like you will never understand, since you immediately saw holding XYZ and Synchros off was going to stagger some cards by making them 'sidegrades'. Let's say they had to add XYZs for some reason, leave it to just the simple cards like Utopia and that's it.
William Walker
Which Duel Links character has the best duel quotes?
Landon Moore
I just spam "WAAAHHHHHH" with Weevil
Dominic Sanchez
Still the best 1973
Andrew Adams
You can make a card game fun and fresh without power creep. There is one example of a famous of a card game that has actually decreased in power as time went and still stays fresh and engaging.
A healthy game doesn't need power creep and as much as I love Yugioh... It's kind of a broken mess of a card game. Duel Links is just as much an attempt to fix Yugioh as Link monsters are. I'd rather the game stay balanced, add new generic support cards or new archetypes. New summon types, like Synchro and XYZ, would power creep the hell out of Fusions and Rituals.
Justin Bell
You should have stayed in the kiddie pool!
Connor Barnes
I see the fury of the ocean gives you pause
Jackson Evans
>Synchro and XYZ, would power creep the hell out of Fusions and Rituals. what? Synchro and xyz actually help fusion and ritual decks.
Lucas Robinson
>Dmfags don't accept anything beyond GX and don't even know the basic rules. they complain about broken shit. That's a huge and unfair generalization to use, and don't even pretend it's not the same case in the real game. Trash players abused shit that banned Wind-Up Inzektor deck but got shit on the moment its cheese got nerfed. The current meta in that game is just net deck the most autopilot meta deck out their and cheese swarm, not too different from DN's current meta, except with less swarm.
>they complain about broken shit. but don't realize that the skill system of DL is just straight up 5Ds and zexal era vanilla card effects. Some of them are really trash, some of them are average, and some of them are Three-Star Demotion that makes entire decks, also putting them in the meta. Skills like Three-Star Demotion immediately remove the brick possibility of bad draws turn one for a lot of decks, especially the busted Ninja one sitting near CA's level currently. Three-Star Demotion + it's Black Dragon Ninja respawn ability + the ninja respawning backrow support makes it extremely safe to play and bullshit to play against. Ninjas might not even be so bad if it wasn't for that skill forcing them to deal with the risk of a bad RNG if they didn't build their deck to not be so risky to it. Stills like these force Konami to balance cards (banlist) and decks (support) around their existence and can really stagger the game if something (ninjas) slips through before they realize its problem.
Nathaniel Evans
Is there a limit to the amount of maps you can have?
Julian Moore
no
Jayden Clark
999 + however many you can fit up your ass
Adrian Robinson
if its anything like the previous events, then 999 is the limit
Brody Howard
The fact that you actually try to justify 3SD... Then again, there are people who tried to defend broken cards in the real game right before they get banned or limited hard, so you can't really expect unbiased from speed shitters or fags who like running said cards. Shit like "Y-You can easily counter my cyber angels!"
>what? Synchro and xyz actually help fusion and ritual decks.
Not him but doesn't this not address the issue that it power creeps things too much? The very first generation of Synchros and XYZ monsters were gladly accepted because they sped the game up without giving people easily access to powerful effects that they didn't have to draw, then game the later Synchros and XYZ games that made games and decks with their power. If you had to at least draw the top tier Synchro and XYZ monsters it wouldn't be so bad but players have them on demand from their extra deck. You should have to work for those kinds of cards a little, not complete a loop on top of a loop to easily contact fusion a field changing card from the extra deck with no real requirements to summon it. Again, Synchros and XYZs weren't the issue, it's how Konami kept power creeping them that made them cancer. A lot of people don't want ANY of those cards out of fear that it'll give Konami the inch to take a mile and add more until it gets bad.
Sebastian Richardson
I don't see how Synchros and XYZ would be THAT strong in DL because the extra deck limit is only 5
Brandon Thompson
That's just the UI limit. It still stores more than that.
