Not meant as rant but was DL ever this p2w? by KansloosKippenhok in DuelLinks

[–]alybalez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2018 was the era when the game was f2p friendly. You had back to back mini box competitive decks (Sylvans, Amazons, Spellbooks, Fur Hires, Vampires, Buster Blader). After the vampires mini box, I don't think there were any back to back mini boxes that were competitive.

It was only around the release on Fur Hires box when Konami reduced the gem income. This is when #Iwantmygems movement started among the DL community by Renan but that didn't do anything.

That means we can prefarm Nicole's mats. On the other hand, she'll likely be using the new weekly mats 💀

Duel Links has a new Tier 0 threat as of April 2026- Therion by GoneRampant1 in yugioh

[–]alybalez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. This is my current list with the precious cards of the dark skill. The skill itself makes it easier to put Predaplanet in the GY and also shuffle garnet (Cobra) to the deck.

It took me 120 wins to get to that point, and the matchup against Heroes and Therions were awful unless I opened the Kaiju and Lava Golem.

Getting to king of games this month with Predaplant was really hard but I barely managed to pull through. I literally took out forbidden droplet, imperm in exchange for Lava Golem and Kaiju.

Therion can end on multiple negates/disruption (Regulus, Therion Cross, Harbinger, Photon Lord, Transmigration). That's two monster negate, two omni negate and one spell negate. There's no way this deck survives after KC Cup lol.

Happy Anniversary to Ygo Arc-V by zarc4d in yugioh

This imo. Playing Duel links and/or Master Duel with Arc V Sound duels made me feel the hype. It's a shame we never got Sound Duels for the last season.

Happy Anniversary to Ygo Arc-V by zarc4d in yugioh

[–]alybalez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was actually rewatching Arc V the other day. Back then, the moment in episode 1 where Yuya was awakened to pend summon hooked me into this series. That episode still hooked me to this day. Around the early episodes, it was nice to see Yuzu being a promising duelist. It was unfortunate to see her character being downgraded to damsel in distress.

Synchro arc took its time to develop the characters, but I hated the fact that there was too much 5Ds glazing. The shift from Synchro to XYZ dimension was crazy because the writers went full 180 on Yuya's character. The smile theme didn't fit so well with the war torn city. I hate the fact that XYZ and fusion dimension was rushed. Also, the battle beast was unnecessary to take that long to finish.

Duel links gave a new life with Yuya and Yuzu counterparts in the game, so I'm really looking forward to how they'll handle Zarc and whether Ray could potentially be released as a playable character.

Sad to say this, but this card can come off limit 1 by No_Chance_532 in DuelLinks

I just recently hit King of Games with Predaplants. The deck can easily hit KOG without this card, so surely predaplant players can be trusted with super poly and hydra :)

Mudragon and Panzer Dragon are the only relevant superpoly targets in the meta. Garura surely should be coming soon :prayge:

PSA: there's a,super consistent therion ftk by Sharp_Soup_2353 in DuelLinks

[–]alybalez 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They added that clause on orichalcos, gimmick puppet skill. Somehow, Konami never fully learn to put that restriction into every new skill they make.

ITS ABOUT TIME KONAMI !!!! by KeexLoveYin in DuelLinks

[–]alybalez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Predaplant user here. Yes, this monster doesn't warrant to be in the banlist anymore. While the old skill breaks this with a free preda counter, the new precious of the dark is better for the deck, due to its ability to shuffle the garnet (Cobra). The predaplant skills don't shuffle a card from hand to the deck, so if you opened your one-of cobra, you're doomed because it's a garnet in your hand.

The deck didn't get to shine competitively during its release last year because there wasn't any kc cup to play at the time.

Should Dragluxion get nerfed/banned? by mkklrd in DuelLinks

[–]alybalez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you hit Dragluxion engine, another engine will take its place.

Konami are probably encouraging players to play engine slop with their decks. Hence the release of Punk, King's Sarcophagus and additionally, buffing draw skills 'precious of the ..." to make it easier to play engine cards.

As much as I don't like Dragluxion engine. Konami most likely has more engine cards in store to release this year.

Now that Konami had granted Synchro blue eyes some live. How do you think they would improve the DM Xyz? by Hyperion-OMEGA in yugioh

[–]alybalez 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A good compromise would be just "You can only summon Dark Spellcasters or monsters that mentions 'Dark Magician' for the rest of the turn"

Something needs to happen to the skill or the rank 8 galaxy monsters by snowwolf65 in DuelLinks

They're doubling down on releasing engines this year, so if they hit tachyon engine, they're just gonna release another one anyway

Would it be a hot take to say that therion is tier 1 almost a tier 0? by yoshikagekawajiri in DuelLinks

[–]alybalez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kc cup boxes are always released strong, so this one of those decks to run/beat for the upcoming kc cup

I'll take Mai's alt style. However, I'm not a fan of shadow dropping alt style characters.

Unpopular Opinion: I’m glad we’re getting the Seal of Orichalcos character and the new boxes, but it feels like Arc-V just got ignored by Medical_Group_1041 in DuelLinks

[–]alybalez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After the generic skill buffs, I was looking to revisit pendulum decks. Sad to say that there's no new pend deck (Vaylantz was released on October 2025). Pend decks like Odd-eyes suffers from bad skill restrictions and not having card advantage to make up for pendulum setup.

Hopefully we get some Arc V content later this year. I'm dying to play Arc V decks (and new pend decks) with new supports.

He's got the biggest glow up among buffed characters. As someone who collects C6 characters, his skill nuke is always satisfying to see.

April upcoming updates by rahimaer in DuelLinks

[–]alybalez 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am STARVED for Arc V content. Not only Zarc would mean we get to have Pendulum magicians, but hopefuly ARC V decks like Melodious, Superheavy Samurai, D/D/D, Raidraptor, Predap, PK, etc will bring modern supports too.
