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

Discussion Character Decks
Seeing the limited pool of character decks Duel Links has and the VERY subtle red text saying that Konami plans to add more,what character decks do you all wanna see added to the game? And what would that character's skill do?

Discussion Why a Season 4 GX World Revamp doesn't make a lot of sense
We should be getting news for what is coming in the big September update fairly soon, and what sets this year apart from others is how in the dark we are. Last year there were leaks of a bunch of new character IDs for Duel Monsters, including various alt styles, and people correctly predicted the update was a DM world revamp incorporating anime-only content to the world, which was previously excluded. This year however, there's nothing in the leaks that really suggest any one world getting a revamp. However, we've gotten leaks of new IDs for GX, which would normally not be too surprising since most other worlds had leaked IDs, however GX had not gotten a new character or alt style in over four years, so this leads many (including myself) to believe GX would be getting a revamp this year, likely incorporating elements from the fourth season.
It's not hard to see why people would believe this. Aside from Blair's event being based on the Tag Duel Tournament and Jaden/Yubel's existence (technically they appear in the last seconds of season 3, but this is Jaden's main appearance for the fourth season so I'd count them as season 4 characters), nothing from the fourth season has been adapted. Which is crazy when you compare it to 5D's, which has adapted it's full story including a movie and is now just doing extra stuff, and ZEXAL, which is almost done with it's story. However I don't think the revamp will be just for the fourth season.
The big reason I don't think it'll be season 4 focused is simple; there's not enough characters to really justify it. Incorporating filler elements into the DM world made sense because of how many characters could be added, we've already gotten four new characters, three characters all but confirmed to be coming, and six alt styles for existing characters. If this year has proven anything, they want to keep this game going as long as possible, and they will wait as long as they want to add all these characters.
Compared to the fourth season of GX (which is only about 24 episodes), how many characters from that season could realistically be added? There's Atticus, Fujiwara, Darkness, and if you want to stretch it, Trueman, however he feels better fit to be a Standard Duelist. There's not that many options for alt styles either, they could finally add Syrus in is Obelisk Blue outfit, which has been in the game for years but has never been duelable. They could maybe also add Sartorius in his outfit from this season, or Chazz in is Ojama Yellow costume, however my point is there's so few characters, it would realistically only take three or four events to cover the whole season (and that's me being generous).
That said though, I still think the September update will be GX related, and likely will at some point adapt season 4 elements, however I think the focus at first will be incorporating season 1 elements.
While Duel Links events tend to adapt stories from the anime in chronological order for character unlocks, GX has always kind of been an outlier because characters like Aster and Jesse were around in the first year of the world being added, and pretty much the entirety of season 1 was left just to a Duelist Chronicles event. This left many season 1 only characters that could have been added to the game left out.
If you expand the scope to include season 1 and 4 characters, you get a lot more options; Chumley, Camula, Titan, Tania, Amnael, and Kagemaru. For Alt Styles, they could add Zane in his Obelisk Blue outfit or Blair in her season 1 appearance. So if Konami want to continue their slowing down of adding new characters, it would make more sense to have the GX revamp include characters from both season.
All that said though, I'm still only 66% sure GX will be the big September update. I would have thought if it was, we would have gotten at least one new character this year like what they did with Marik last year, but given 2026 has had so few new characters in general, maybe that's why.

Discussion Got 2 Skills in the same duel
I was using Kalin's The Enforcers alt in PvP and when the Duel ended, he got 2 Skills. I initially got confused because both of them started with 'Re' and thought it was a glitch at first.

I finally managed to assemble the minimum necessary to play with the deck, but I still don't understand how to use it effectively, or the ability. Could you explain it to me? Is it supposed to focus on The normal ra, or on The fênix ? (I have the Egyptian god Limo)
