I wanna play as Divine and see a summon animation for Thought Ruler Archfiend
Mason Barnes
How do you guys keep track of who you sent the Vagabond to? Sometimes there are dry spells where he doesn't ask to get sent for day so I forget who he got sent to last.
Dylan Morales
Tristan Taylor when?
Justin Perry
big cattle drive or valkyrion? got fucked up by a valk deck earlier, but apparently this game is turning into "funny draw deck hell" so i don't know

You will be able to farm Valkyrion soon. Take the ticket exclusive.

Jayden Wood
Now that you're asking I am not sure. Yugi would be the first Gate LD to have two URs (Valk and Gandora).

There is any way to build a Chaos Dragon deck?

how do I make this better? I see a lot of people running flame tigers in their hazy decks, should I just drop the fire fist stuff completely?
James Reed
What uses does this have? I mean, I guess it stops Mirror Wall.

it's a quickplay spell so you can just chain it onto things you've already activated for ez spell or trap destruction

Why are Monarchs so expensive? The only Monarch that's easily available is Delg.
Jacob Cox
Its funny, because for a time Monarchs were one of the cheapest meta archetypes in the TCG FreeMonarchs
Carter Allen
Well Thestalos will be in another pack as a UR probably a big 200 pack that will introduce along with him Raiza, Mobius , Kuraz , Zaborg, Granmarg and maybe Zephen along with monarch support. Will probably be one of the most purchased packs as all will thirst for 3 copies of some certain monarchs.
Jayden Lee
It's bait for people thinking TCG relevance would result in Duel Links relevance. Like Lyla being an UR even though it can't do shit in the current meta.
Josiah Robinson
There's only 3 so far and they're spread out. angmarl UR delg R card trader thestalos UR currently in event box treeborn UR firestorm vassal SR event box soul exchange UR mausoleum SR trader that other event SR
i'm hoping konami releases structure decks that aren't character based
Benjamin Perez
I can see Mobius Raiza and Zaborg doing good work in duel links.

Maybe, instead of trying to call it right you should try and call it wrong
Austin Adams
>Hazy beatdown with Mausoleum, Sergeant Electro and Fenghuang What the fuck are you doing?
Jack Evans
most people that get to KoG with hazys are using APKs with permanent aroma to see their top card why do you think there's a bunch of pair of socks playing it with 3SD calling spells/traps despite only having 5 of those cards in the deck at most?
Adrian Perez
Is it worth burning through all 15 packs of the anni box? Restarted after burning a bit too much gems (failing) to get snoww/lightnings and now I already have a simple beatdown deck after pulling for WoD.
Landon Cruz
i could shit in my hand and clap im so angry what the fuck kind of a turn one is this for a BE deck to have just give me a fucking win again
it works, like, 80% of the time feng and electro are filler for 3rd EAN and AMA though
Alexis has a nice theme, always a fan of some good piano
David Evans
lmao who cares you should be OTKing him this turn
Christian Taylor
FUCKING SHIT WHERE ARE THE MASOLEUMS NOW THEY WERE RIGHT THERE EARLIER EVERY TIME THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN FUCKING DEMOTED

The effect doesn't even activate though.
It wasn't destroyed.

Aaron Barnes
It's fucking great. I wish the game had a theme like this though: youtu.be/NC4zekDypa4
This is a hard sell, user. I was going to build this, but with 3 EAN, I could nearly build REZD instead.
Sebastian Ortiz
thats whats so fucking unbelievable about this loss streak statistically the deck is very consistent generally i win aside from turn 1 burn shenanigans but as soon as i hit that kog promo some fucking switch must have flipped because the cards that should show up just don't this is the worst fucking luck ive had playing this game and if it had waited ONE more match to kick in i could at least be playing a more fun, less conssistent deck
Justin Smith
>get otk'd by double wild natures release dimacari This is fun
Gabriel Lee
this is what im running and its clearly enough to get kog, just need to run up the wins again without that fucking horrible streak 3x EAN would help consistency but it isnt strictly necessary
also gozuki is the hard part of builing rezd's deck, right
Jayden Ward
Welp now I need to make a Cyber Dragon deck
Brandon Johnson
Good thing Zane will be playable soon.
Samuel Long
>soon You mean in like 6 months right
Christian Young
Thanks, I already saved it from last thread. 5-6 turn 1 sac outlets shouldn't brick that often. Probably.
I already got 1 gozuki from the selection box so it might not be too bad. Primal Burst also has volcanics and dinos though and I played those in the past so idk.
Austin Morgan
as long as they show no intent of nerfing bamboo it's a good idea to buy into primal anyways also gaia plate or whatever is good lot more versatile stuff than the crimson box imo
Benjamin Perry

John Gomez
dead game
Nicholas Flores
Nah our general is just a bit slow, especially during these hours, also keep in mind that most of the people here are always plat 4 and up. Remember that the majority of the people play with their feet.
Lucas Butler
What does their rank have to do with the dead hours?
Noah Ross
>plat 4 and up with the amount of complaints in here I don't think so
Jacob Allen
I'm plat 2 and I just like to complain.
Hunter Peterson
i am plat 3 and i assume that most of you are on a lot bigger rank than me
Quality over quantity ( i guess )
Colton Butler
Always member, you have a 50% chance of having a card in your hand going first and 60% going second. Assuming 3 cards and a 20 card deck.
Brody Cooper
speaking for myself i complained because compared to everyone else I was way behind missing out on events/cards/gems and calling everyone whales if they had a staple like mirror wall when it's only natural to get better cards the longer you play. so I'm assuming everyone will grow out of their complaining stage. if you made a new account since the anniversary you'd get at least 4k gems on day 1 so imagine all those other missed events
Lucas Cox
I started like a month ago, so I can understand what you mean. I missed a ton of useful cards... Who knows if some will ever come back to the card trader. At least some event cards are available with tickets from time to time but dang... Still doesn't make up for missing so many free gems and events.
Lucas Miller
yeah it feels like the gap between new and old will never close. power creep does exist so the older boxes will look worse than the newer ones so it's not too bad but some cards are still good since their release like sphere kuriboh and mirror wall, but there are cheaper alternatives such as reg kuriboh and wall of disruption
Brayden Hall
From what I've read here Konami used to hand out apologems like candy when the game started. So unless you started with this game when it went live you're a latefag.

Cooper Sanchez
Are Pendulum mechanics used at all in modern YGO? Seems weird that they would add a mechanic like that just for nobody to use it a few years later
Robert Lopez
>that single Dig Beak in the middle of all that broken shit lmao
Christopher Morales
What's a good and versatile auto-duel farming deck
Hunter Howard
Before the last "season" pendulums had their own slot on the field. Now, ever since Links were introduced they make part of the 5 trap/spell card zone, which is heavy nerf. Extra deck monsters now have zones as well which changed a bit the dynamic of the game. I don't actually play this is just my general idea of the recent changes so I might be wrong in something
Adrian Thompson
Just wait till the infernities hit. They will wipe the floor with everything, you will see fucking synchro into synchro into synchro
Xavier Evans
pendulum magicians
Henry Nguyen
>infernities >not blackwings lmao at your life fag
Carter Ramirez
>Blackwings not Karakuri
Leo Perez
you are both , it will be some weird special tuner + fast monsters that will go probably either to formula synchro ---> something else either to formula ---> stardust or if it gets even faster to formula + stardust
Charles Cook
Is synchro spam summon possible considering we can only have 5 cards in the extra deck?
Henry Long
Yes you don't need more than 5 if you go for a very specific combo, expect to see formula into stardust , hyper librarian or black rose. What could be limiting is getting further than that due to only 3 monster zones available. All synchro decks will get shat on by Ojama.
Ryan Garcia
>All synchro decks will get shat on by Ojama. Truly the Chazz is ahead of his time.
Ayden Hernandez
Post Ojama decks. I'm at plat and haven't seen one yet. Started a week and a half ago.
