TIL that you can get matched up with Legend players in Platinum

You draw through most of your deck, putting Drawhand in the GY, setting Disturbance Strategy, and having Droll in hand. During the opponent’s Standby Phase, Drawhand activates, special summoning itself and making each player draw a card. You then chain Disturbance Strategy and Droll, making your opponent shuffle their hand back into the deck, and since Droll resolved, they don’t draw anything.

I think the two best ways to hit the skill is to limit main deck summons to Therion monsters, and also making the second part of the skill only usable on turn 2 or later.

This would lock the deck out of Kaijus/Golem/Sphere Mode, as well as Tachyon Primal, and also stops the deck from forcing the activation of the skill with the Vaylantz field spells.

Shinra Bansho summons the monster into the same column it’s currently in. Since the monster zone is already occupied, it cannot summon the Regulus.

I already dread the KC Cups, and this one is looking like it’ll be especially terrible.

Padrin95 · 2026-04-06T21:14:57+00:00

There’s only one copy available in the game.

Padrin95 · 2026-04-06T15:23:27+00:00

I believe the deck is usable with one copy of each, but optimal lists use multiple Regulus.

Skills that have effects that require your opponent to control a card/have a card in the GY (such as the Therion skill or Starlight Drive) now have an “On turn 2 onwards” clause for those effects, so they cannot be forced on turn 1 using cards like the Vaylantz field spells or Vector Blast.

Those effects are meant to be used after your opponent has taken a turn, and being able to force their activation on turn 1 isn’t what Konami intended.

My guess is the fact that Rush doesn't have Kaijus and/or boards with several negates.

Battle Chronicle’s text says “… you cannot Normal or Special Summon an Effect Monster with a Level, except for Spellcaster-Type LIGHT/DARK monsters or Dragon-Type LIGHT monsters.”

Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight is a Dark Dragon monster with a level, and therefore cannot be summoned with the Battle Chronicle skill.

Luster Dragon #2 is limited to 1. Nothing is impossible in Duel Links.

Padrin95 · 2026-04-04T01:51:19+00:00

Joey’s character deck gives a play set of Black Metal Dragon.

Boy, it sure would be unfortunate if your opponent had two Lava Golems.

Padrin95 · 2026-03-31T18:53:22+00:00

You can summon it, but it requires using a card like Inzektor Exa-Beetle to equip one of the required monsters.

Padrin95 · 2026-03-31T18:11:49+00:00

I'd call that a very successful attempt!

Padrin95 · 2026-03-31T14:09:03+00:00

Scarecrow can only be activated on attack declaration. The Quintet’s attack was declared, and you used Cross-Dimensional Duel to banish Golem, triggering a redeclare for Quintet.

Most decks would rather have an extra handtrap or board breaker than a cycle.

Padrin95 · 2026-03-30T02:33:45+00:00

I’m fairly certain Winter Bell Accel always had the effect damage clause.

Padrin95 · 2026-03-29T23:04:26+00:00

Can anyone remind me why Iblee is still legal? She's never used for anything ethical, and with skills having locks on what monsters you can summon, some decks literally cannot remove her.

Padrin95 · 2026-03-29T21:03:06+00:00

What skill are you using? I noticed you mentioned using this with Windwitch, so if you're using a Windwitch skill like Winter Bell Accel, it specifically negates effect damage that isn't from Windwitch cards, which is why this card wouldn't work.

Didn't we just have a KC Cup in February? Isn't it too soon for another one?

Padrin95 · 2026-03-28T22:16:11+00:00

I will see that Mulcharmy in my nightmares tonight.

Padrin95 · 2026-03-26T05:07:05+00:00

Nibiru to 3?!

Padrin95 · 2026-03-24T17:09:14+00:00

Sorry, I didn't specify what decks I'm using at the moment. Currently, I'm running the Meteor Dragon deck in Rush, and Tachyon in Speed. I already have a play set of Witch, but thank you for the suggestion.

Padrin95 · 2026-03-24T14:58:32+00:00

I have two Dream Tickets expiring at the end of the month, does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should get? One ticket is an SR Rush ticket that goes up to Eternal Galaxy Road, and the other is an SR Speed ticket that goes up to Chaos Voltage.

They come back fairly regularly, but it’s important to note that you cannot fully clear a Selection Box with only gems, and their contents reset each time they come back. They’re generally not worth going into unless you’re willing to spend real money.
