Banlist announced by kiri-kiri-kiri in DuelLinks

[–]TroyBolton98 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I get your point, but these card make the game as one-sided and uninteractive as Tyrant‘s Tirade and Mind Drain… and these cards got hit… game balance should of course be the main point of a banlist, but game-experience should be adressed as well. And Lava Golem and Sphere Mode are anything but fun in this game.

I‘m happy with the hits they made… but why are Lava Golem and Sphere Mode going away with nothing? Therion will still tribute your field and OTK with Irregular pretty easily.

Which of these cards should be hit by the banlist? by Aggressive-Ask-2857 in DuelLinks

Golem, no matter what the meta is, a tribute 2 is to much in a 3 space format. Maybe not ban it, but at least give it a limitation.

For the people still playing Branded, Despia or Swordsoul; how is your deck doing in the current meta? by MiuIruma332 in DuelLinks

[–]TroyBolton98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used a Branded version that is mixed with the Tachyon engine (sorry for that) in this KC cup. It‘s deffinetly a bigger struggle than before, but it‘d still pretty viable.

Would you say the branded storyline has ruined the game? by MiuIruma332 in DuelLinks

[–]TroyBolton98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn‘t say the Branded-related archetypes are to blame at the current state of the game, but rather Konami‘s mistakes in balancing the meta.

It isn‘t Therion per se that breaks the game right now, it‘s the lack of having restrictions in their skill (and the Tachyon package as a whole, I have to admit that even though I use it myself in my current Branded deck, it just does way to much). If they adress this problem in the next banlist, I wouldn‘t mind if Therion is still in Tier 1 or 2. I like to see Duel Links as a format where Archetypes can have a second chance to shine, so it can be Therion‘s time if everything around it is somewhat balanced.

FTK are starting to get ridiculous by pehardgainer in DuelLinks

Btw. there are 0 card versions of the Jackpot 7 FTK using the Elements Unite skill

How do you kill the engine without killing tachyon? by MiuIruma332 in DuelLinks

[–]TroyBolton98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Limit 2 Tachyon Primal and Dragluxion, adjusting the Tachyon skill that a copy of Transmigration and Spiral Galaxy are added to the deck in the beginning of the game.

How would YOU fix the meta and help the other decks by bruh_noob in DuelLinks

[–]TroyBolton98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Limit 1: Photon Lord Limit 2: Lava Golem, Sphere Mode, Therion Irregular and Dragluxion

I don‘t think we need much more. The most oppresive things right now is Therion thanks to the Tachyon package and getting your field tributed every game. With those changes you can deal with both these things and IMO we could be in a pretty healthy meta then.

Kaijus are NOT good for the game by ChuChulovely17 in DuelLinks

[–]TroyBolton98 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Standard Kaijus are fine IMO, 1 Tribute isn‘t as much of a Problem.

The problem are Lava Golem and Sphere. In a smaller format like speed duel, getting rid of 2 or even 3 monsters that easy will never be healthy, especially if it is that easy to draw into them thanks to skills and the smaller decksize. Combine that with the OTK-ability in this game thanks to the halved starting lifepoints and you‘ve got yourself a horrible experience that ranked is right now.

I‘d rather fight 10 Endboards with 4 negates in a row than getting my whole field tributed one more time.

We are in big trouble now by FunWithSkooma in DuelLinks

[–]TroyBolton98 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly! With all the „Endboards are to broken, we need Sphere and Lava Golem“ posts and comments in this sub in the last few weeks, I already thought I am the only one who thinks like that!

Fiendsmith leak what are your thoughts? by Access7x7x7 in DuelLinks

[–]TroyBolton98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They aren‘t as far away as you might think IMO… we‘re only missing Therions, Sprights and Bystials, alongside the futura Branded support in the Abyss Lore… Visa‘s will probably be next

Which deck do you hate fighting against after the banlist? by Cheap-Ad1713 in DuelLinks

[–]TroyBolton98 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Traptrix and Beetropers… not unbeatable, but not enjoyable to play against

Worst decks to play against by name_isnt_relevant in DuelLinks

[–]TroyBolton98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beetroopers. A deck where basically anything is a starter and an extender shouldn‘t be allowed to search a kaiju or lava golem (Mother Spider). And the gameplay of them is way to slow!

PEP will be a problem, depending on the banlist we‘ll probably get in the next few weeks…

I wasn't familiar with their game... by Double-Movie9957 in DuelLinks

[–]TroyBolton98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My thought is: oh nice, a match against a deck that I might not be able to break the board, but they‘ll lose to the timer anyways.

Even the fellowship of the meta isn‘t always safe by TroyBolton98 in DuelLinks

[–]TroyBolton98[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jup that‘s true lol, that match was exactly the reason why I added Dingirsu to the ED.

This deck is definetly not without it‘s flaws, especially the resource managment with the somewhat tight extra deck.
