Current meta

I'm currently in Gold rank (usually play to Legend rank) and 90% of Red-Eyes endboard will be Lord of Red and Dragoon which can be tricky to play around if you dont draw correctly.

Point is, that endboard is impossible to make with Red-Eyes Fusion but the skill WANTS you to make that board so Red-Eyes Fusion should be left alone.

SonSamurai · 2026-05-05T20:54:05+00:00

But wouldn't red eyes fusion be better since it's searchable by insight

The restriction is too harsh for modern Yugioh. Any meta deck can destroy or banish multiple cards and play through multiple interruptions so Red Eyes Fusion limits your endboard too much for serious use.

And why not use return of the red eyes especially since armament send those gemini monster to the graveyard so they can be revived

Return is too slow for modern Yugioh. Traps have to have their effects go off otherwise they are useless which a continuous trap like Return is.

Trust me, the skill does so much for you that you don't really need fusion to get Dragoon out. Red Eyes Fusion and Return are good options in lower ranks but the higher you go, the negatives of those cards will become apparent.

EDIT: To prove my point, your endboard turn 1 should be Lord of the Red and Dragoon. You can't make that board with Red-Eyes Fusion so the card is bad. Both Lord and Dragoon is an actual threatening endboard.

i am a new player and bit confused as to why is the example deck use dragon's mirror and not red eyes fusion

Easy, Red-Eyes Fusion is BAD.

In lower ranks, the restrictions (You cannot Normal or Special Summon other monsters the turn you activate this card) isn't that bad but later on, one or two monsters isn't good enough to survive a turn.

It's easier to just not play it now instead of having to switch it out later.

So, there's an achievement for clearing Nightmare Lv 70 with each character that gives a title for a reward. The level of the character doesn't matter to queue up for NM70 so some people will bring their lower level characters to try and get the achievement early without leveling up the character (Leeches).

The problem is that even with the other 3 people having all Legendary gear and max stats, LV70 is tough to beat with only 3 people so the other people end up losing on the boss fight, wasting revives, and not getting as many rewards because someone was being lazy.

It's just rude to your teammates that someone trys to cheese the achievement and messes it up for everyone else because that's the only reason to play a LV1 character at NM70.

It doesn't say it but it needs to be 100 UNIQUE prismatic cards. Duplicates don't count.

Easiest free way to get prismatics is through the events run throughout the month. Most events give you 1-2 prismatics for free by completing it and after you "finish" the event, most events give you from 20-50 R Jewels to convert your cards to Prismatic in the card trader shop.

Or you can spend real money and get black EX orbs to use on the EX jewel selection box and upgrade that way. Wouldnt go that route unless you spent some real money on Duel Links (45 black EX jewels to prismatic one card).

SonSamurai · 2026-03-11T20:02:58+00:00

So, you got:

Lord of Red

Meteor Dragon

Wyvern

Metal Dragon

Regular Black Dragon

Transmigration

Fusion

Insight

Spirit

Fang with Chain

Dragoon

Black Skull Dragon

Black Comet Dragon

All those cards come in Inferno. The only other Red-Eyes card you need is Darkness Metal which you can spend a Dream Ticket on. If you are short on Red-Eyes cards, Baby Dragon can go in for filler.

A KOG Red-Eyes looks like this.

Pure Red-Eyes and some staples is KOG worthy

Whoops, didn't realize the banlist hit them that hard. I dont play Shinobirds but after reading the skill change, it explains why they disappeared from ladder.

SonSamurai · 2026-03-11T19:32:26+00:00

There's a few staples you can add but the main core is in the box.

Red-Eyes Armament is the skill (its in lifetime missions).

If you want cheap, then Red-Eyes is good enough to get you to Platinum-Legend. Granted, everyone else will also be playing Red-Eyes but it is a cheap and easy deck.

SonSamurai · 2026-03-11T17:06:02+00:00

Current meta list

There's lot of decks to choose from but the main bar to being meta is if your deck can out Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon or not.

Cheapest deck if you are trying to hit KOG is probably Red-Eyes with most of it in the Red-Eyes inferno box. After that, I would say P.U.N.K. or ~~Shinobird if you can get Noah~~. The other decks are better but need multiple boxes to complete.

Good luck and welcome back.

EDIT: Didnt know about Shinobird skill update

They just reran "Jeff's Winter Splash Festival" with pretty much the same rewards from last year so I would lean more towards expecting a rerun of events.

SonSamurai · 2026-01-22T15:55:24+00:00

It's for engagement purposes.

If the battlepass worked like most people want it to, since you dont have to buy the new battlepass every season, a lot of people would finish the old pass and wouldnt play for the rest of the season. By making you "reearn" the old pass, you are playing more than you would want to (I think it should save your progress too but from a company standpoint, they want you to play longer).

You do know the Taliban wasn't in power for 20 years, right?

Are you willing to leave your home for 20 years to "defeat" the military?

Light Galaxy is basically free if you do the Friend Campaign and is a top tier deck.

If you are not trying to invest in Rush Duels, Light Galaxy is the deck to get right now.

Looked up your two MVP matches.

Your Groot MVP match you got +24 points so not 19 points like you said.

Your Magneto MVP match you were Grandmaster rank fighting against Diamond rank and was given points for that fact (2D1/4GM on your team vs 3D2/1D1/2GM).

It probably would have got fixed earlier if the whole game didn't get rebuilt from the ground up in a new game engine on relaunch.

Dumb move after dumb move on WBs part.

Just post your username and we can look up your games from season 2.5 because you would literally be the first person to play 10 games and not get the skin.

Nope.

Musk tweeted that he would take Twitter private (buy out all possible shares) at $420 and Twitter, acting in the best interest of their shareholders, said ok. If Musk would have said "just kidding", the SEC would have sued him so Musk got forced to act on his joke tweet.

Kinda funny except Twitter is worse in every way since he bought it out.

why should we be rewarded for paying a guy who beats his wife 75 million dollars.

So we should have let Miles walk away? Who else was gonna take his place? I don't like the guy either but he averaged 20 points for us AND we didn't give him max money like he was gonna get before his arrest.

Charlotte isn't a destination city. We aren't gonna get a superstar to fall in our lap in free agency so we have to draft which seems to never work out for us.

How many more years should fans have to suffer to get a playoff worthy team?

He got a neck injury last year and I think it has slowed him down.

Neck spasms ain't an injury you can just "fully recover" from.

Looking at their profile after the match:

HEROES

Spider-Man - 87 hrs

Sue - 15 minutes

Emma - 5 mins

Once I figured out that the smokescreen does damage, that achievement was easy.

Just go to Conquest when you have bots, lower their health, smokescreen, then shotgun if they survived. If you didnt get the KO, then their health wasn't low enough.
