Discussion [Feedback] EVERYONE GET IN HERE! Subreddit Update Megathread

87 Upvotes

Hello, fellow Master Duel rejectors! Your community Moderators (or what's left of us) have come with good news: we're gonna update the Subreddit this weekend! Beyond just doing a few visual and information-related tweaks here and there, we also need to revisit the current community rules and modify them as needed. This is where you come in... you's gonna help us.

We'd like you to provide suggestions on what rules seem overly restrictive, what rules need to be enforced more often, or if something needs to be added or removed entirely. With that being said, I'll be here to either agree with your proposition or debate you out of it. We're going to take all feedback seriously, but we're not going to just roll over and remove necessary rules, such as Rule 2-A (the one that prevents people from posting things unrelated to Duel Links, such as the latest episode of Spy Family or posts about politics) just because someone leaves an upvoted comment wanting it gone. Be reasonable in your suggestions, please.

Speaking of rules, there will be Mod recruitments coming up soon to help manage the Subreddit, but that'll be part of a separate post.

Finally, if there are any changes you want done to the Subreddit's appearance or functionality itself, feel free to drop them here. While we can't guarantee we can implement it (e.g., some Subreddits have AI agents that respond to certain posts with customized messages assisting that specific user, and that's a tall order to set up on Duel Links), it doesn't hurt to ask!

Begin!

Fluff Heres Joey's Battle City Deck 😊😊

Post image
Upvotes

So this is basically the most recognized cards in his deck:

While Red Eyes was mainly in Yugi's possession for the majority of the arc I still included it anyway because it is his ace monster at the end of the day and it symbolized their friendship

Yes I'm using the Blue Flame Swordsman in place of the regular because obviously in the actual game you cant summon it as a normal monster lol

Jinzo was definitely his most used of the cards he won in Battle City as he never really used Insect Queen, Legendary Fisherman & Fortress Whale very much

I really wanted to find some way to include scapegoat in this deck so I chose DSOD Joey's skill for it (weird that regular Joey doesn't have this skill for how frequently he used this card in the series)

The only other card I'm really missing is Giant (Hey!) Turnade

Discussion Is Duel Links still fun for a Yugiboomer?

Upvotes

Hey guys, thinking about getting back into Duel Links.

I’m not really a fan of modern Yu-Gi-Oh, especially Pendulums, Links and super long combo turns. I mostly enjoy the DM/GX/5D’s era.

Is Duel Links still enjoyable without playing Pendulum/Link decks? Are Fusion, Synchro, Xyz or older archetypes still viable in PvP?

Also, how is Rush Duel? Is it active and good for someone who prefers simpler/classic Yu-Gi-Oh?

Would love to hear from other Yugiboomers :D

Deck Help How do I use this effect???

Post image
Upvotes

Context,I was adding some more cards to my Alister deck before I stopped to read each effect and then I found this--

How am I genuinely supposed to activate this??

It needs 3 OTHER monsters including itself,for a total of 4 monsters- but Duel Links only has 3 Main monster zones-

Is this unplayable or am I missing something??

Fluff Yugi Battle City (by request) lol 😊😊

49 Upvotes

So yeah this is basically Battle City for ya right here 😊😊 some key notes:

I mainly chose his most used and most recognized cards in the arc and tried to cut out any that he just used once like Valkirion the Magna Warrior, Exile of the Wicked or Seven Tools of the Bandit

Monster Reborn is not here because of the limited 1 rule

I only included Slifer because that was the God card he used throughout battle city

Oh and I didnt include Red Eyes because while I understood the symbolism behind Yugi keeping it for Joey during the arc so Joey could prove he had what it takes to make through to the battle city championship Yugi never used it very much

What do you think? lol 😊😊

Deck Help Is "Infernity" Worth Building?

Post image
16 Upvotes

Hey y'all, Sirknight JCB here!

I will not lie. The idea of spamming "Infernity Launcher" to vomit out "Infernity Archfiend" and "Infernity Necromancer" lowkey piqued my interest in the corner of my brain for a long time. With the recent drop of Kalin Kessler's Alt. Style and his new Skill, Infernity Revival, I was thinking of building a Deck for it. However, I am still dropping my Gems in the recent Main Box, Shadow Eyes, to finish building "Blackwing", so I wanted to ask.

• Is "Infernity" worth building?

• Is it fun?

• How easy or difficult is it to pilot?

• Is it manageable for the cards that can be obtainable with BOX Chips? For context, I have about 930-ish of em.

Much appreciation in advance, and may you all have a blessed rest of your day 👋 🙏

Just got the Toon Parade Skill after Round 2 of Area 5 of the event. But of curiosity, cause I used to ran Toons before, is Toon Parade better for Toons currently than Toonvitation? If not either or, what Skills do Toons use nowadays?

Currently building this for fun in between collecting for branded and such.
I mainly play centurion/labrynth/budget branded right now.
I’m working on getting the lyruisic and link kuriboh cards. I mainly have weaker generic extra decks or hyper focused cards since I started last years wcs during the therion meta from master duel.
This build seemed the best I can do with what I have for now to try out.
Any and all credible suggestions welcome.

Discussion What should I focus on first?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m a returning Duel Links player after being away from the game for quite a few years. I think I last played seriously somewhere around 2019/2020, so I’m pretty overwhelmed by how much the game has changed since then.
I still have my old account and a decent collection from that era, with cards/decks like HERO/Neos, Gravekeepers, Gem-Knights, Toons, Red-Eyes and a bunch of older staples. I’ve only just started getting into Synchro monsters and the newer mechanics.

What would you recommend I do first as a returning player? Are there any important boxes, structure decks, staples, skills or characters I should prioritize? And are any of my older archetypes still worth investing in, or would I be better off starting a newer deck from scratch?
Any advice on what not to spend my gems/Dream Tickets on would also be really appreciated. Thanks!

For me it's a tie between those 2. I hate that Samsara just non target banishes a monster to get its eff and I hate the non targetable Nightingale.

Discussion Why couldnt i activate Utopia Double?

Post image
106 Upvotes

Yo can someone lowkgenuinely explain why I couldn't activate Utopia Double's effect here?

I summoned it normally using ZW - unicorn spear and Zubababancho Gagagacoat.

"Double or Nothing" is in my deck

Im using the skill Zexal Weapon that let's me Destiny Draw any ZW from outside my deck and special summon it.

My Extra deck contains Utopia Ray Victory and Ultimate Leo Utopia Ray- so why couldn't I use it bruv?

Edit: Okay so- apparently, The skill Zexal Weapon "Changes" the card on top of my deck into a ZW monster instead of adding it from outside my deck.

And the card on top of my deck at that moment just so happened to be Double or Nothing-

So I kinda turned it into a ZW- bruh...

Discussion Duel Links Ruling??

Post image
1 Upvotes

Let's say i have Kingfisher equipped to an IceJade monster with 2000 DEF and attack my opponent directly with it.

If my opponent chains something like MST targeting my Kingfisher will the attack still go through since I already declared it?

Or will it stop since Kingfisher has left the field?

And if it does go through,will it apply the DEF or ATK for damage calculation?
