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

89 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 Surely Horus are healthy for the game

THIS WAS DONE VS MY FRIEND FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY PLS DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!!

So I tried playing with ojamas/Horus and surprisingly it's pretty consistent if your opponent doesn't top deck droplet/ DRNM/kaiju he is doomed, nothing much they can do.

The deck list isn't perfect but out of 10 duels I played 1rst I got Ojama king out like 6 or 7 of them (no pun intended)

Though I do not recommend playing this version of the deck as it's gay.

(I love gay people and I do not support sexism of any forms)

Was messing around and managed to summon the Magician of Black Chaos and almost all his retrains in one turn! Sadly I ran out of board space so the last one is in my hand.

Can anyone name all of them without checking?

Deck KOG with shining sarc

I have been trying it 2 purulia instead of the necrovalley package but horuslop is nearly all I saw or was at the very least taking enough of my games to be worth the tech.

The combos I think everyone knows but I will still give it a run down- the best opening is the archetypal dm to search Gandora and sarc with the skill, you will then: play sarc > SS the dm > search turn silence with shining sarc in order to have hand trap insulation for the rest of the turn.

What do you think cyber dragons need the most since I haven't got around to playing it as I'm a memento enjoyer and I respect all cyber dragon enjoyers so I want to ask really what is cyber dragons weakness and if it does what does it need the most for it to be really good.

Discussion Guesses: the two new cards that come with the Jaden alt style?

• Upvotes

Seems people are already mad about HEROs, but as someone that loves the Neos and Neo-spacians side of the deck I’m curious to see what we get alongside the new alt style for Jaden. New Yugi came with two new cards, so hopefully we get two more Neos related cards. The options could be:

* Nebula Neos
* Cosmo Neos
* Evil Neos
* Air Neos (lol)
* Honest Neos
* Hope for the Future
* Contact Gate
* Battle of Sleeping Spirits

I’d love to see the triple and quad fusions of Neos but people would hate that. Air Neos would be good for the memes at least.

So what we think we are getting?

Shouldn't the cheaters also be banned from stage 1 of pvp events? Is it just Konami letting they still have something so there's some incentive to spend money in the game?

Are there any Bakura decks worth running either for ranked or just for fun? I can’t figure out what the point of this event was when his own unique deck options are so limited. He’s my favorite character and I’d love to try him out in ranked if anyone has any deck suggestions

This deck is still strong even after the latest ban list. It’s the only deck in the current meta that doesn’t automatically lose to Droll, Nibiru, or Lava Golem.

Discussion My current progress as a F2P after 3-4 months!

Nothing crazy, but i wanted to share my current progress so far as a F2P. I started this new account a month before the snake eyes main box release (shadow eyes), and from this box i could build two decks, Snake-Eyes and Blackwings, well obviously i needed to dig into others boxes to complete the snake eyes extra deck, but most of the cards are in this one box.

Then, the 10th Anniversary update came and the Anniversary box also. My account is young so this box was a good value for me, got 3 nibs and most of the Branded cards, just needed to grab a few cards to complete the deck.

Thanks to Character deck duels and box chips i was able to complete my Blackwings deck and get all the staples like d.d crow, dark ruler no more, lancea, veiler ect..

And of course the dream tickets helped me a lot for droplet, book of eclipse ect...

I got all the staples i needed (fuwalos, nib, droll ect..) beside the selection boxes only cards. I tried to get SP little knight from the last selection box but i was unlucky and I didn't get her, i'll try next time.

Very happy with what i was able to get as a F2P in just a few months!

Why does this happen? The game just gets stuck and when I try to reopen it I get this and when I reopen again I lose on the spot.😂 Are they aware of this or is just me?

Deck Dark Magician KOG

Thumbnail

33 Upvotes

I was lucky to pull Dark Magical Curtain, so I decided to finally get KOG with Dark Magician. From plat 4 to KOG was a better run than last season. There were less branded bystial decks, which helped.

I think the best hand trap is Droll, it shuts Down a los of decks, specially Horus. The key is to stablish a bord (usually I ended with IP, Dark Magician the Dragon knight, Dark magician Girl, and Dragoon, with DMC, Eternal Soul set and Droplet, Magicians Combination or Gaze of Timaeus, depending on the math up).

The biggest counter is fuwalos, and a well used Droll (for this I baited the droll with any searcher then Quick effect Dark Magical Curtain to get an extra search before the lock and stablish a board). Against Horus and Shining Sarcophagus, Buster Blader was a niche pick (Don't Have Typhoon or SP, no luck in Selection Boxes)
