Duel Links News - Whats Next

[Literal Bastard 335]

Hey, cocoon of ultra evolution works on both sides. Just had to tell someone 

[Inti 79]

Supposedly according to the next datemine the next roaming duelist will be Super Tea bringing Fairy support and these being her drop cards.

UR
Meltiel, Sage of the Sky

SRs
Harvest Angel of Wisdom
Radiant Jeral 
Tethys, Goddess of Light 
Zeradias, Herald of Heaven

Rs
Freya, Spirit of Victory 
Guiding Light
Wingweaver 
Constellar Belt 

N
Tenderness 
Photon Booster

 

I highly doubt the Counter Fairy cards will be meta. The only good cards seem to be Guiding Light, Tethys, Goddess of Light, and Zeradias, Herald of Heaven (For Sanctuary farm decks).

Jesse is here, nice collection of cards, starter deck is ass but you can easily grab the beasts from the event. some old Zane cards return from the EX trader. Event is another "gather items and duel at the gate" event A-la crowler/pegasus/bakura/marik/dox bros 

 

For farming him, he really has nothing to stop the majority of farm decks, if you can get paladin early (not even first turn) you have him pretty much beat, i imagine labryinth builder and unhappy girl would work fine too, i'd avoid Elements Unite due to Amethyst cat though.

He is super easy to farm with Cerberus as well and yeah as expected his rewards are terrible due to CBs being worse now with only 3 spell/trap zones. Basically this event is good for gems and a rainbow dragon jessie mat.

From the looks of this datamine https://imgur.com/a/a3sjf reveals the set is going to support Crystal Beast support,Fabled, Masked Heroes (No Dark Law only Anki, Gokka, and Vapor),Geargia, Hieratic, Karakuri, and Paleozoics. As well as what could be in the new Chazz starter deck and the Super Mai coming back with new Amazoness support cards.

I'm thinking about downloading this. Would it still be fun and worth the time or did the prime of this game already pass?

It really depends on whether they “reprint” stuff.  Making a deck is simple, but powerful, auxiliary cards (ie wall of d) are annoying to get.

I think Hey, Trunade made a TON of older cards obsolete (Floodgate, Wall, etc). You can just build one of the Trunade decks. I'm winning 90%+ of games with Trunade Cyber Angels. Granted building that deck was annoying, but other no trap decks (ex. Sylvans) exist.

Yami Mark is coming back again this time with a new skill and cards. https://ygorganization.com/tributethegranadora/

 

His new skill 

Tribute-Tied Power

"The ATK and DEF of “The Winged Dragon of Ra” will be equal to the combined ATK and DEF of the monsters used to Tribute Summon it."

 

New Cards (revealed so far)

New level up cards and gems. The only good level up cards seem to be Card Tropper (Jaden) and Overtex Qoaltus (Rex) maybe has potential. The Battle City Finals event started with the only good reward card being Anti Magic Arrows. 

 

 

[Faint 5841]

Yeah this makes me glad I got out when I did :')

[+Gemstone Mine]

yeah I jumped ship too when konami reduced gem drops from events to garbage and released 3 back to back sets that completely power crept each other.

it was always gonna happen tbh, it only ever had a limited timespan before - like actual ygo- it became powercreeped commercialized ps2p (pay stupidly to play) garbage

Any thoughts on the new ban/limited list?

CAs are totally dead and I doubt Sylvans will ever be meta again. Decks that will probably be meta after this banlist are Destiny Heroes (Anki), Aliens, Spellbooks, Amazoness, and maybe Geargia (Though they will probably have problems against Fate.)

[Carbon 1874]

I see a lot of people hating on Gold Sarcophagus. I think it's too slow to play multiples but I've been liking 1 copy in certain decks. Being able to search Treacherous Trap Hole seems not too shabby.
I agree with Slyvans. Even now I wouldn't say it was undoubtedly the best and it for significant weaker. 

Amazoness lost both econs most likely. I'm guessing if the battle phase becomes bigger than we could just add extra copies of Offering/Super Rush. Spellbooks are fine I guess I just don't want to go though the mini box a 3rd time.

[Stomach The MachoPony 8]

i still see a place for Silent Swordsman. not the OTK variant thankfully but the normal deck can still rip some decks apart with something as simple as a LV3 backed by sword slash. heaven forbid you stack sword slash onto lv5 or even lv7

 

decks relying on one or 2 specific cards in their opening hands (hi grass decks) also got a bit of a hit from balance, restart and duel standby being nerfed. so i dont see spellbooks being as bad as they were with 30 card grass variants. still a threat ofc but at the most blowing through secrets, master and power would get one good fate banish off and leave them without much to do.

The only deck I have seen use 3x Sarcophagus is Archfiends since they can instantly revive Emperor with Escape From The Dark Dimension and outside of that I haven't seen any meta decks use it so far but I think has potential in the future maybe. Yeah Heroes and Amazoness will just replace Econs with Offerings or Super Rush.
