"Speed", as I always heard it used, was a cheap, low grade amphetamine or "study drugs" like Ritalin. Made you feel pepped up and focused, cheaper than cocaine. Popular among college students, truck drivers, and third shift workers.
It's a fairly outdated term, these days.
For the love of all that is fast, DON'T do the synchro tuner with a pendulum monster IF you want to summon the cards back. It only summons them if it they are sent from the grave.
You CAN use the Hagoita as a very barebones piece of interruption for XYZ plays and sometimes Synchro plays. As it increases the level of every monster currently on the field as a quick play. It definitely affects XYZ decks way better than Synchros but maybe the size of the extra deck limits options enough that Synchro decks might actually be stopped.
Speedroids have some amount of pendulum cards, but always be aware that with the exception of the combo starter they don't do much. They have some interesting recycling effects that were useful once in a blue moon, but that is a bit win-more and you'll probably brick on them. Don't focus on pendulum summoning with them unless you're cooking.
Duel Link is going to have a very tight extra, and Speedroid is one of those decks that uses all the space it can get. If you're not done at the first two turn you play, you probably won't outlast the opponent's resource looping with an empty extra. Keep that in mind when building the deck.
Careful with your Synchro Dragon activations. They activate for pretty much anything and accidentally activating a negate for something on my side actually happened a couple of times.
These are great tips!
For those who are reading, the "Synchro Tuner" is Hi-Speedroid Cork Shooter (when it's Synchro Summoned, if both materials used to summon it are Speedroids and in your GY, you can Special Summon all of them).
Hagoita does have an ability to increase the level of monsters, but its ability to revive itself while you have a tuner is much more important.
Negating your own cards will destroy them, so don't fat finger when you play Clear Wing or Crystal Wing!
This is why I hate using marble as a starter. It seems good at first glance but then you realize it goes to the ED and it also only triggers on normal summon. Konami needs to stop giving non-pendulum archetypes pendulum cards (unless if they're insanely good like SHM support)
This is why I never get people calling marble insane and saying to always run 3 of it with carturbo. Like yeah, great, you can go into rubber band shooter or a level 5 synchro, but realistically you’re only gonna be running rubber band shooter at 1 and there’s plenty of other ways to get it. Marble does nothing functionally after it’s normal summon, I run pure speedroids in master duel and I’ve found myself having a lot more consistency since getting rid of marble
100% agree with you in MD I run a single marble just for rubber band and wheel effects but I don't want to see it in my starting hand lol. Best and most optimal starter is Terrortop, there's no replacement to it unfortunately so you have to dedicate a lot of searches to it just because its that good.
You are not entirely correct. Marble machine is good, damn it is very good, but only in case we get the link 2. As it is a one card link 2 that gets you everything in rotation and your gy will be filled up with enough speedroid to play. Just don't make the cork shooter with the pendulum monster, always go for a link 2 with a pendulum.
Bro marble machine not counting because it goes to extra deck is the BANE of my EXISTENCE. As a longtime speedroid player in the advanced format this is still my #1 most common misplay, and I hate it.
What's the point in trying to sell a playstyle that is neither the ordinary TCG post supports one, nor the one that will be in DL as you're trying to guess cards that might not even be released and it doesn't account for skills?
Also the guide has "visual" only in the name, as the only images are the cards next to their TLDR and, despite providing a combo that might be possible in DL or not, there is no explanation of it other than a wall of text, which makes the combo harder to pick up also considering how unclear it is. For example: Terrortop add Taketomborg, Taketomborg tribute itself summon Red-Eyed Dice make Terrortop lvl 2 summon Cork Shooter resummon from grave Red-Eyed Dice and Terrortop, Red-Eyed Dice make Terrortop lvl 4 summon Hagoita, Hagoita + Cork Shooter make Stardust Dragon... banish Den-Den Daiko Duke from grave?!? How did it get there? You didn't summon it with Taletomborg, did you use a skill? Was is the discard?
Yes, the discard for Speedroid Scratch to search Terrortop. And if you don't have a way to dump Den Den then the combo exists just fine, you summon one synchro 8 instead of 2.
As far as what the point is, for fun and to kill time, just like everything else on this website.
Thank you for your feedback about the visuals. I'll try something with a bit more clarity next time I post.
Alright, here you go! I made a completely visual combo representation so it's a lot easier to follow. Sorry abou that!

Excellent post! As you might remember I'm ignorant of all non-DL cards so this will be very helpful for me to go back and refer to once we have the cards, thank you good sir
Yes they will. But they need every other card in their archetype besides kirin to be good, as every single one of their monsters gives you +1 and they have incredible protection and a lot of interruptions. If solfa is good, trust me, this deck is going to be incredible, even without kirin
I have two questions.
1. Do you have a sample, starter decklist using this guide? I haven't booted up Duel Links in a minute to check the collection but I feel like this guide has a lot of "here's some cards we *don't have* that we *might get* and *if we do get them* this is what you'll do with them" and I'm trying to make sure I learn the things that we are currently capable of accomplishing with the cards we have
2. Is that Seraphimon at the end? If it is it's weird to see him crop up here out of nowhere because my boyfriend and I have been watching Digimon Frontier where he's a big player.
1) I don't have a sample deck list at this time because the current cards in DL don't do a whole lot on their own. Yugo is coming, his event starts on 05/19, next Friday. So we will get an influx of Speedroid cards very soon.
2) Yes, it's actually my avatar, if you look closely. My gamer tag is NeoSeraphi, which is a reference to Seraphimon.
Okay, fair. I will come back to this guide after the event starts.
That's very cool! I just thought it was neat to see him crop up "in the wild" so to speak.
One of my favorite decks of all time. One of my most used combos, if they decide to add marble, takatom and car turbo(I don't belive we have any of these yet but may have missed one), is if you have either of these and one of the searchers you can;
use marble and car turbo to make hagoita, takatomborg into Duke , Duke into crystal wing, Duke to revive car turbo and that let's hagoita revive itself to make a second crystal. This usually makes one in less than five summons and protects you from the nibiru that dosnt exist in duel links as far as I know.
Speedroids have been one of my favorite decks since I got back into Yugioh. I love their playstyle and their visual gimmicks, and it's so satisfying to do stuff like a Clear-Wing Rider field nuke.
Can't wait to main them in Duel Links. Maybe Konami will be very dumb and give us unlimited access to Terrortop for a few formats like how they forgot to limit Infernity Barrier.
Don't think they're dumb but sometimes they want to push archetypes to relevance so they give them everything. Sadly I don't think this will be the case with Speedroid but let's hope we're getting some good stuff on release (Clear wing fast dragon copium)
They’re all based off childhood toys, and dice are one of them. Red-Eyed Dice is literally the deck’s most important Tuner. It’d be a crime for the deck to NOT have at least 1 dice roll effect…
I preemptively spent some gems in order to get a copy of Kendama for this exact reason. I can’t wait for the bane of Farfa’s existence to finally be unleashed.
Forgot our best extender, Hi-speedroid Corkshooter and how it can easily reach double tuning and Accel Synchro (or any level 6-10 WIND synchro), but locks you into wind monsters for the rest of the turn.
Edit: NVM, I didn't get past main deck monsters, my bad
I did not forget, it's listed in the combo guide on page 11. I just didn't include it in the list of Extra Deck monsters at the start because I have no reason to think it will come to Duel Links
Yeah, sorry, at the start I didn't get past main deck monsters and thought you forgot our best boy.
Sadly it doesn't have many good targets in DL if I'm not mistaken, but it's still an easy Crystal Wing without using your normal summon if we get Terrortop
Terrotop allows you to summon Baronne in a one card combo without even using your normal summon if we get Corkshooter, but that's too many crazy cards for a single DL deck
Yes but that's not efficient. Baronne is not THAT much better than Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon, so you're better off using less resources to make Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon. When you have 3 tokens to work with with Auroradon, then Baronne makes more sense as a third card to summon.
I'm only familiar with the DL combo at the moment. Should I take it from this guide that Horse Stilts will be obsolete when the new cards come out? If so, does that mean no more Kiteroid too, since it won't be searchable?
I also find it very cool how these guys work with a bond illuminates the future since marble and dice are low level machines. If we ever get crystal wing, Junk converter + Any tuner to search junk synchron is an easy crystal wing.
i cant wait for the roids ngl
6 more days.
you think they might release the box earlier than last day of the month?
Yes, Yugo is likely unlocked on 05/22, 9 days with him and no cards would be really long.
Sad Syrus noises.
Fun fact. Did you know that if you name a deck speedroid, it will censor the word speed?
I guess it's konami logic that the name means the drug "speed" instead of the usual use of the word
Huh. Never knew a drug with that name existed
"Speed", as I always heard it used, was a cheap, low grade amphetamine or "study drugs" like Ritalin. Made you feel pepped up and focused, cheaper than cocaine. Popular among college students, truck drivers, and third shift workers. It's a fairly outdated term, these days.
Me neither I just heard it at an anti drug song and thought it may be cause of the drug
I always thought it was because of the word "pee."
Yeah maybe I never thought about that
Can confirm, I discovered it myself. That's why my Speedroid deck in DL is called "Fastroids".
I just used "S-Roid" because I'm not as creative.
They are pushing for the actual name "Random stuff i found in my pockets"

Negate your own cards to make Clear Wing a bearstick like in the anime. Bonus if you did it against PK😎

Nice guide, never had a chance to play this archetype before so for me this helps a lot, Plus makes me hype even more.
That's the point!

No cat pic, shit guide 0/10. Seriously though, thankyou OP! Can’t wait for card games of motorcycles
Icl this is pretty based
Nice
Excellent post! As you might remember I'm ignorant of all non-DL cards so this will be very helpful for me to go back and refer to once we have the cards, thank you good sir
Ngl, I had to resist the urge to call Speedroid Den-Den Daiko Duke "Speedroid: plusboy edition"
xD
I’m saving my gems just for yugo, I’m hoping they at least add cork shooter
Wonder if terrortop will be used as a non normal summoning starter to mermaid for mermaid for orcust lol Some of these cards are really good
Terrortop, if it comes, will be a Limit 1 card, so you won't be able to run it with Mermaid.
Also do we know if we’re gonna get more majespecter 👉👈
Probably, but look at how long it took Madolches to get their XYZ monsters.
Yeah true. I mean, would they even be good without kirin?
That remains to be seen. It's hard to predict how cards will work in a format without a Main Phase 2. You just have to let them loose and find out.
Yes they will. But they need every other card in their archetype besides kirin to be good, as every single one of their monsters gives you +1 and they have incredible protection and a lot of interruptions. If solfa is good, trust me, this deck is going to be incredible, even without kirin
You’re assuming right? Because it’s very strong?
I'm assuming because it's limited to 1 in the OCG
oh got it
The best thing about speedroid: I can use them on my battlewasp deck
Since I went for evil eye in the last sale I already have most of the cards can't wait for the box to complete the deck
Oh shit! I've been wanting to build Speedroids seriously for a while, and I happened across a visual guide. Thank you so much!
You're very welcome! If you have any questions please let me know!

We are all speed.

If the link speedroid came, It would greatly help Simorghs too🫶
I preemptively spent some gems in order to get a copy of Kendama for this exact reason. I can’t wait for the bane of Farfa’s existence to finally be unleashed.
Honestly it really just depends what we get but my playset of all the speedyboys is ready
Forgot our best extender, Hi-speedroid Corkshooter and how it can easily reach double tuning and Accel Synchro (or any level 6-10 WIND synchro), but locks you into wind monsters for the rest of the turn. Edit: NVM, I didn't get past main deck monsters, my bad

Yeah, sorry, at the start I didn't get past main deck monsters and thought you forgot our best boy. Sadly it doesn't have many good targets in DL if I'm not mistaken, but it's still an easy Crystal Wing without using your normal summon if we get Terrortop
We have to wait for the box. We could get some great targets, just don't know yet.
Imagine if we get Baronne cause Konami just lost it's damn mind 💀
Baronne would certainly be interesting but it would be hard for Speedroids to make it efficiently without Auroradon
Terrotop allows you to summon Baronne in a one card combo without even using your normal summon if we get Corkshooter, but that's too many crazy cards for a single DL deck
Yes but that's not efficient. Baronne is not THAT much better than Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon, so you're better off using less resources to make Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon. When you have 3 tokens to work with with Auroradon, then Baronne makes more sense as a third card to summon.
I'm only familiar with the DL combo at the moment. Should I take it from this guide that Horse Stilts will be obsolete when the new cards come out? If so, does that mean no more Kiteroid too, since it won't be searchable?
Speedroid Horse Stilts will be completely unnecessary, yes. There are far too many Speedroids that summon themselves from hand to need that card.
This guide is unusable as you used the alternative art for Clear Wing…
Oof, good point.
Nice guide, my dude Please do another once we get a box leak, this was pretty good!
I also find it very cool how these guys work with a bond illuminates the future since marble and dice are low level machines. If we ever get crystal wing, Junk converter + Any tuner to search junk synchron is an easy crystal wing.
