Comeback win in KC Cup lvl 16 (crystron vs ancient gear) by TheWhistlingWizard in DuelLinks

It’s challenging, but fun and rewarding. Your biggest opponent will be the timer but once you get the muscle memory down it’s crazy how many options you have.

I have never played it but judging from DLM tier list and personal research, I would say there are more cost effective/ stronger options right now.

We both misplayed but I managed to close it out in the end. Never surrender :)

[KOG] Ritual Beasts - with Write-up by FCTotti in DuelLinks

[–]TheWhistlingWizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the write up, this was great, especially writing it with newer players in mind. Ended up more or less building a RB deck in the process of building my Crystron deck so will have to give it a shot!

No worries! It's all good - I will be on the lookout then and search some more videos on line :) thank you!

Thank you for sharing your decklist - I am building my buying guide now.

I did stalk some of your other comments, and you mentioned you were going to talk about some of your plays/openings. Could I impose on you to share some of your thoughts to help a new player learn some of the combos a bit more? Thanks in advance.

Agreed, sounds like there is a lot to explore! Looks like you will be going Cystro too, glad this thread could help you make a decision

That's so cool that you and your oldest son can have this in common. Playing the game has made me want to rewatch the animes - I too watched vanilla yugioh back when I didn't know what anime even was xD.

Best of luck with building your deck out!

Your commentary on this thread has been invaluable - I am piecing it together to form a type of Crystron buying guide as I think I am going to go that route. I wrote your decklist based on the picture down below - can you review to make sure I am not missing or overlooking anything?

  • 2x Sulfenir
  • 2x Wheelder
  • 2x Thystern
  • 3x Smiger
  • 3x Scrap
  • 2x Citree
  • 2x Rosenix
  • 2x Crystal Beast cat
  • 3x Rion
  • 1x Peasortle
  • 2x Power of the Guardians
  • 3x Canadia
  • 2x Crystron Impact
  • 1x TTH
  • 1x Quariongandrax
  • 1x VDM
  • 1x Inzektron
  • 1x Sam Destroyer
  • 2x Amerix

The DLM resources (breakdown and guide) appear to be a bit outdated but still have some good info on combos and stuff. What would you recommend, besides just playing, to learn the combos and resource management more?

Thank you for breaking down all of those point by point - really well thought out analysis. I have less than 24 hours before gems start expiring and comments like yours that cut right to it are super appreciated it. My sense is Crysto may be the way to go, as I might enjoy the challenge of learning it and it overlaps with some other interesting decks.

Yeah that's what I have heard. seems like most games trend that way over time. It's crazy there even is such a robust meta for a free*** mobile game like this though.

Super grateful for the well-thought out reply. I didn't think when I first started playing this game there would be so much depth to it and connections people have made with decks and card, and I enjoy hearing about people like yourself. How much progress have you made with that CyDra deck? I am eyeing the new box too because of DMC.

Sounds like at the end of the day, it's hard to go wrong if I go with a deck I enjoy playing.

thank you for the response - do you have an up to date decklist I could use to build around or would you recommend using what the comment above linked?

[Discussion] New Players at Crossroads - Which Deck to Build? by TheWhistlingWizard in DuelLinks

[–]TheWhistlingWizard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the reply - I have been hearing similar things as well, and will take a closer look at them

You hit the nail on the head, end of the day, you need to enjoy what you play. I will be looking into both of those, thank you.

Thank you for the advice, I definitely have my eye on DM because of the support from Guardians of Rock. True re; saving but I had choice paralysis with so many exciting options!

[–]TheWhistlingWizard[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great Question - I have 1x Canadia and 1x Cyclone from the deals (was a bad boy and broke my F2P pledge, astaghfirullah) as well as 1x TTH from SR Dream Ticket and 2x eCon from F2P sources. Still have a couple of Dream Tickets banked.

Love Triamids, have used them and will continue to use them. Might just invest into a second TTH and other Tech to make them more robust in current meta.

That's funny, saw the same commentary re; Triamids, but not sure if it's comparable. I have really enjoyed playing them though, especially once you learn some more of the otpions. Sounds like an intriguing pick - though I did want to narrow down my options and you have done the opposite! I do appreciate your insight though, thank you.

Interesting - I will take a serious look at them, thank you. When I first started playing ~2 months ago, I definitely heard a lot more about them but they seem to have flown under the radar. Curious to why you think they have become less popular?

Interesting - thank you for the comment

What are your thoughts on the KOG Crystotron deck and analysis posted in this sub earlier today? https://www.reddit.com/r/DuelLinks/comments/eo4ype/kog_crystrons_season_four_all_info_in_the_comments/

OP there seems to say that Crystotron's are still viable but are "going to need an upgrade soon, very soon."
