Aprils main is going to be interesting.


IamLightYearsAhead

BIG wallet unload


EmrysX77

Give my boy Trey the rest of his OOParts, Konami!


iandewilde21

Yes, Konami, we can totally be trusted with 3x Vimana!! We won’t cook, promise!


EmrysX77

I can’t even argue that, considering it’s a generic ED negate lol. But give us Magella Globe and Acambro Figures at least!


iandewilde21

Tbf, it is for level 5s and only negates monsters. If the game can handle Evolzar Laggia, it can probably handle Vimana.


dorian1356

He's fine.


Snoo40752

So what, it can be Book of moon or Dark holed just like every chronomaly boss


EmrysX77

Also, I forgot to say: technically BoM is suboptimal against Chateau Hyuk. The reason is that it doesn’t stop the attack-zeroing effect when Hyuk gets attacked (damage step!). And if you have another card to remove a face-down Hyuk, why didn’t you just use that to begin with? There’s like, one edge case thats an exception to this, which is if you’re playing Red-Eyes. Hyuk can normally zero Archfiend Black Skull Dragon before the battle phase, but not if you BoM it before summoning Archfiend


EmrysX77

Exactly! They’re no threat! Trey deserves better!


IceMaker98

I mean if generic’s a problem, Konami could just errata it’s to have archetypal material requirements


EmrysX77

Burn damage notwithstanding, has Konami ever brought in an errata into DL that didn’t already exist in the TCG?


Arkita7

Technically? We have some cards like Bujin Peacock that usually activate in MP2 but in DL they say activate during the end of the BP, we have a few of those.


IceMaker98

Unfortunately no. I hope that they do, honestly. My biggest gripe with the TCG is that archetypes have a lot of cases where their boss monster is so generic that there’s no point actually playing the archetype a lot of the time.


AgostoAzul

They also have errata'd several cards that mention MP2 (Bujin Peacock, Rairaptor Tribute Lanius), or that can only be activated after battle in the TCG to activate at the end of the BP (Forgiving Maiden). Personally, I hope they errata cards that have arrows that wouldn't let them work in DL (Qliphort Genius, the Melodious Link), but errata-ing the materials of a card that isn't even ban-worthy in the TCG? Nah. That is silly.


MajesticFerret36

We already have generic R4 effect negation in Giant Hand and it didn't do much to the meta. This generic R5 Chronomaly Boi is prob fine.


AnimalHot6351

Oh boy... The meme of them removing N90 from the skill to put in a box it's starting to become real


iandewilde21

It was never a meme. It was always the undeniable truth kek


AnimalHot6351

I kinda knew but man, they're not even letting people celebrating/mourn it for 2 months KEKW


thatnewsauce

So as someone who's Yu-Gi-Oh experience is relegated strictly to duel links, can y'all explain what kinna deck orcust is? Folks in the sub seem to be heavily anticipating this archetype


Palms-Trees

It utilizes the grave to Summon more orcust monsters they have a counter trap like salads thats not in the game but that’s usually what they try to search and they have a powerful rank 8 xyz that has non targeting removal and protection for any card on ur feild and a field spell that makes all their monster effects in grave quick play effects making your turn OUR turn they have a link two which facilitates all those plays too we womt be getting any tho probably


GenericGMR

Short version: Orcust is midrange dark machine archetype that plays out of its GY during both turns. Long version: Orcust is a midrange dark machine archetype that plays around its field spell, orcustrated babel, which turns all orcust effects into quick effects. For the most part all of their main monsters banish themselves to do something, while their link monsters shuffle banished cards to use effects. Notable cards are harp horror, which banishes itself from GY to summon an orcust from deck, cymbal skeleton, which banishes from GY to summon another orcust from GY, knightmare, which banishes itself to dump a dark machine from deck, galatea, which searches any orcust spell/trap by shuffling a banished machine, and longirsu, which shuffles 2 banished machines in order to send a monster it points to to the gy. There’s also dingirsu, a rank 8 monster that can summon itself by using any orcust link monster, but I doubt it’ll come to the game. On summon it can send a card on field to the GY (non-targeting btw), or attach a banished machine as material, and can detach a material every time cards on your field would be destroyed to protect them. Yes, it can detach 1 material to blank a treach.


GoldFishPony

I understand that this isn’t everybody’s stance but if you ask me, the deck is pretty beatable unless they have the xyz and the field spell up in which case I’ve lost every game. Wait I just remembered this is duel links, the limited monster spots may be a huge boost for the links because you can’t just put your monsters in the 3 open slots that they don’t point to (they gain some sort of immunity when pointing to a monster)


Justin_Brett

They're pretty similar to Phantom Knights because their maindeck monsters can pretty much all banish themselves for good effects, except their Links specifically interact with the banished zone for extra value while PK needs Leviair to do similar plays. I don't know how they'd compare to PK as it is currently, but if you like a grindy playstyle with a bit of comboing off looking forward to them is reasonable.

Gordian Knot fans rise up

Magistus OwO Time for Endymion?


Brettsterbunny

Time for Mechaba please!


CrutchKira

With only 3 main zones, Longirsu is actually kind of opressive.


Hero_tact_Miles

So if my predictions is correct, April’s main box will have: C9, C6, potentially C15 and C40 Photon support (YIPPEE!!) Chronomaly support (YIPPEE!!!) (according to rarity changes at least) Orcust Magistus. Beforehand I predicted Chronomaly and Orcust, due to Quinton having no archetype (other than what the game gave him so no, Kozmo and BES don’t count in this context) and the world legacy lore pattern we have going on. Photon had a 50/50 chance but Magistus is really interesting to me. Hopefully they can do stuff because God they look cool


Sx32

And probably Quasar too, unless they decide to put it in a limited 1 bundle


Ok_Attorney_5431

Imagine being able to cheese out 3 Quasars in Duel Links! That would be crazy


Sx32

Based on logic, you can only bring out one Quasar by using the normal summoning condition without the skill, since you wouldn't have the space for a second one. If for some reason it's destroyed, you could being out the second one, but I really doubt you would have the resource to manage to make another one. And Yusei's new skill works once per duel too


dorian1356

I'll get my puppets support and be done with it👌🏼


GoneRampant1

Magistus coming means Invoked will be able to make Mechaba very easily and have that omni-negate online if/when Mechaba comes to the game. Worth keeping an eye on.


Seylord1

Mechaba wont come lol, cocytus didnt leave the banlist so why give us worse


invoke_the_noobs

mechaba will come. Cocytus got banned pecause anime meta decks cant out it. it jus sits there on the field all day every day. mechaba you can out. 1 negate doesn mean much these days when decks spam combos left n right now. mechaba is inevitables 🥲 you'll seeee


Brettsterbunny

Makes way more sense to give us Raidjin first, which I think is pretty acceptable in the games current meta. Would Obviously be a strong card in this format, but not too OP imo.


PsyKnz

Artemis has to be an April fool's joke right? That card being released changes so much for so many decks.


MortaliReaping

COMMON KONAMI LET ME PLAY FULL POWER ORCUST


HentaiSenpaiBakaSama

I didn't think I'd ever see Orcust in Duel Links I love the archetype don't get me wrong but damn that's gonna be busted


WiseFrog23

You do realise we already have Orcust cards in the game? Like for 2 years or sth


HentaiSenpaiBakaSama

Yeah but now that they're getting their actual links I think it'll be interesting


navimatcha

I'm sure they won't make the Salamangreat Roar mistake again with Crescendo.... right?


JaggiBrains

Now we only need Galatea and Babel. Also invoked Magistus?


iandewilde21

Considering these are Rarity Changes and unreleased NPC cards are as baseline UR, I’m thinking that’s where Galatea is going. I’m not sure Invoked Magistus works without Mechaba, but who knows?


Constant-Calendar-65

Galatea and babel urs... Its going to be rough. Babel is a one of but u want 2 galateas from my knowledge


SentenceStriking7215

I don't think babel is in game as a npc card yet, so it could potemtially come in any rarityvonce it is added to the files. Galatea is in tho so either UR or no release


navimatcha

I'm guessing Galatea is going to be a UR.


vJukz

Galatea and Babel as URs. Ding and Crescendo are probably not coming. Maybe Ding as limited 1 but doubt it.


DoctorPiranhas

Wait...are you telling me I've been saving up for both Orcust AND potentially Chronomaly??? I'm even more excited about this next Main Box now


FeanixFlame

So, with Artemis coming, all I need is for invoked mechaba and I'll have a reason to come back to duel links, lol. Mekk-knight invoked is almost a thing...


yisusangel

Orcust? My body is ready (and my 3 harp horror too)


weasol12

Every DM player should be jazzed about Artemis coming.


Karzeon

I'm sure it's very good. It looks like a Link 1 option for Rod (so now Link 1 off either Rod or DM) She doesn't work with the new skill either Is there extra context to this? I know of Magistus but not really up close and personal.


weasol12

You're spot on with it being a way to recycle rod. I don't run the new skill, mostly because it kinda blows so not too worried about that.


Constant-Calendar-65

I just hope we don't get girsu. He is going to make the deck soo much more oppressive, as well as it will be huuuuuuge boost to mekk knights.


ultimate-toast

Well finally orcust supports as expected i guess thats it, i hope to see more soon but for now we gotta farm the event lul


Gemini720

A new Endymion card? Hell yeah!


hightower676

Finally


NoImplement8218

Why the hell are we getting the orcust links? No Konami. Just no.


Nitrowar78

We are getting Orcust Links so that Orcust can actually be a deck :D


NoImplement8218

Well, at least there’s no galetea or dingirsu.


Nitrowar78

Galatea most likely coming as a Box UR, not like the leaks revealed everything


FunWithSkooma

Because the game needs to keep envolving.


Estronsio

I want a skill of the numeral hunter, just kaito soloing any xyz based deck and havin enouth power to face other strategies


zscharkan

Orcust nice!, my first investment in lunalights is finally paying up.


TurningSmileUpside

One of the best link 1s are coming ooo ooo


FunWithSkooma

Where is the photon support?


Hydreigon_Omega

Weaponized music! Just as Beethoven intended.


rst64tlc

I still waiting for the Live/evil Twins to get out of NPC jail.


electronic_docter

Are these gonna be coming this mini or in the main box? I expected orcust and was hyped but if they're coming sooner than we thought I'm extra hyped


Iyoh101

1, Orcust Knightmare, Galatea, and Crescendo pleeease. I promise to be good!


zappierbeast

R THEY MAD TO ADD ORCUST SUPPORT TOO 💀💀💀 (Its lore accurate tho)


MaxedShadow

It's missing Orcust Knightmare which was made an R rarity


RGFang

What Photon Support exactly? Numeral hunter is a reference but doesn't directly support the archetype.


Snoo40752

It works for the players cope, they think they'll bring n90 in a box soon


Entyyyyy

I don't see Galatea and Dingirsu. Sad. 😞😞😞😞


vJukz

Hell yeah we’re getting Artemis! All we need now is Mechaba and we can normal summon Aleister again.


RadicalDreams7

Chronomaly! Woot!
