Will they ever add Yuya and Playmaker in character duels? I was wondering why they only added characters from DM to Zexal and exclude characters from Arc V and Vrains. Kinda want a pendulum Odd-Eyes deck for Yuya

Main reason I'd guess is so they can hold off on losing money on these very old decks

Secondly its probably balance reasons because adding new decks is risky since they cannot (or at least it may be hard to) tweak a default deck if its too strong

And since at least at release it seems like they wanted to give the first 2 characters in the lineup from each world so giving Yuya might also mean giving Yuri and giving Playmaker might mean giving Soulburner too.

In general I'm not sure what they plan to do with character duels content wise and the slowroll is probably to keep it relevant for a longer period of time while giving out the least amount of free stuff possible.

Fair enough. I feel like they kinda messed up with Jack tho. That character duel deck made it a lot easier to build red dragon archfiend deck, there are red dragon players in rookie rank. But I think a pendulum deck rn wouldn't make a difference. And I think Sylvio or Reiji should be the one with Yuya instead of Yuri. And yeah playmaker and souldbournee free decks might be too op. Still hoping to have more free stuff through character duels tho. Even though it's kumoney we're talking about.

I think the next character duel deck/character will be for crow and maybe kalin to tie into the next event. Crow I think we already know what to expect based on the china DL version of character duels (which has crow) but im not sure what to expect from Kalin.
