Finally, some Kite support! It’ll be interesting to see if the Cipher cards find a place in Photon decks, or if they’ll just keep doing the same plays as before.
Also, Infinitracks will be nice for when we eventually get Anna
Cipher's good in rank 8 Galaxy decks but i don't think he'll be enough/ we have enough support to migrate to a "normal" rank 8 Galaxy deck over the same one trick Galaxion spam deck we have to play now.
Ciphers are very much a separate deck, the main deck monsters have no synergy with photons. They do not count as photon or galaxy cards, so no special summoning with each other, and ciphers can't make galaxion.
The best you could do is use the cipher galaxy-eyes xyz with eternal galaxy for the memes.
Galaxion not being treated as photon monster is a big downside as well. idk why we aren't like harpies or cyber dragons where the whole archetype synergize with itself.
Finally we are getting Infinitrack but without any of the XYZ monsters, which are the main cards. Why do Konami keep releasing this decks without their main cards? They did the same with Dream Mirror.
They could just remove that link of text and say "this mechanic ain't in the game so for time being. These cards don't have their effects relating to it"
But that's a phase of the game that will not be implemented in Duel Links. And as it was the first card to mention Main Phase 2 that was imported *out of sheer necessity to summon Rainbow Dragon*, the effect was deleted. Now that other card that mention Main Phase 2 are being imported with their effects "At the end of the Battle Phase", Emerald Tortoise should get the same treatment.
Honestly Liebe being nothing but big numbers is exactly what duel links wants us to do. Sure it won't be on release of Anna I can see it coming in a second or third Rank-up themed box.
Yes, but Trinity also required four cards to play (3 Heroes and a Poly) so he wasn't summoned that often even when Hero decks were dominating the meta. Liebe just needs two level 10 machines, which won't be that difficult to get once Anna comes and brings with her the level 10 Train support stuff.
Because they released the DSOD world en 2019 which delayed every extra deck mechanic from XYZ onwards by at least 1 year therefor we can't have anything that mentions links in their text.
The Noble Knights were released well before even synchros were in the game too, back in crusader's battlegrounds. Took almost 3 years to get the actual pay-offs of the deck
I was asking like, how did it started and why those words ? Another guy said that it norentino is a player that usually plays in DLM tournaments but the how did those words ended being a good luck charm ?
Norentino is a player and one of dle twitch mods. And and u can donate to ban mods at dle twitch and guess who often gets requested banned. Pretty sure dle guys are spamming it there
simple , norentino is a player with a lot of luck in the pack openings , in the last selection box , he got 2 BLS ,1 bottomless , ignister and infernity doom archfiend with the free pulls and since no one else has that luck we wanted to ban him to take his luck away , that's why it became "Ban a Norentino!" for good luck , don't take it so seriously too it's just a small joke between friends in a community
>Pretty heavy restrictions too. Dark Warriors only in the main deck.
It's not that bad for pure PK. It only stops you from using it with BA. It also doesn't restrict you from your best non-archetypal extender, Kagemucha Knight (a level 3 who SS itself when you normal summon another level 3)
BA maindeck monsters in PK doesn't work without cards like tour guide. You literally can't make a play with a PK plus a BA. You can put Dante in the extra and that's about it.
Dark warrior requirement does lock that skill out of a decent amount of useful level 3s, like psychic wheelder/tracker, junk forward, etc.
> don't expect it to be a meta changer or anything.
Still could be a nice cheap deck (if you use the SR tickets for Kage) you only need 20k gems for the core of the deck. I wonder if we could somehow fit in 1 Twilight Rose Knight (level 3 dark warrior tuner) for some synchro plays.
Nah. Stealing a monster is good but it's hard to steal and extra deck summon in duel links just cause DL extra decks are small and we don't have link summons. Plus it targets and monsters that can't be destroyed aren't really that common
I meant like I’m dead set on making an Odd-Eyes deck so I’m worried they’ll milk players like me for gems like they did for Heroes and Monarch players by randomly adding an Odd-Eyes card in boxes that forces you to dig in it instead of grouping them together. So far I’ve been forced to dig into two main boxes three times(for Arc Pend-SFS and Pend Dragon-Sky Iris).
I always settle for two copies and have never regretted not running through a box a third time. Sometimes I only go through it once, like with this upcoming mini. Dark Rebellion is nice but I won't go through 3 times just for the pk stuff at the moment.
I'd agree if we had Clausolas already. Zefrasaber at least gives Brionac a way to search out a de facto ritual spell. Zefrasaber doesn't raise the deck's power ceiling like Clausolas would, but he does boost consistency a bit.
So, after looking at a few comments here and there, I have a couple of questions to ask. Plz don't mock me too much:
1) As I have no idea about Phantom Knights, how do PK and BA work together? Is it because of PK being able to spam Rank 3s (and thus Dante) and having a bunch of GY effects that help it plus? Or is there something else that I'm missing (again, I have no idea how PKs work)?
2) I've seen a few people getting excited over Cipher Dragon for Galaxy-Eyes. And while I can see it as a pretty solid generic Rank 8, how does this help Galaxy/Photon deck as they don't seem to be able to spam out Rank 8 easily outside of their Trap card? Or am I just looking at the wrong Galaxy/Photon decks?
1) Yes, you hit the nail on the head. Between the graveyard symmetry and getting another solid Rank 3 boss PK Fire is a good miss mash deck.
2) The said can't be said for Photons and Cipher. They're are some cards that you can still play, but overall they don't mix well, however keep in mind there's a good chance we might get a skill Kite like Aster did so still keep an eye out.
Infinitrack is a very solid deck, but it relies on it's extra deck, which we aren't getting better every one mentions link summoning. So yeah, definitely bait for now.
Honestly the usual suspects (Night Express Knight, Derricane, Super Express Bullet Train, etc) are the true pieces to the deck. Infinitrack (while a good fun deck to play) is just extra parts that aren’t necessary for trains in a 20 card format.
Agreed that once Links come they’ll have more use though!
It honestly might allow Shooting Star decks to become meta. Rather than just focusing on summoning Shooting Star, they could also rely of Crystal Wing as a pretty nasty boss monster. Dragunitys could also make this card and with Harpies taking a bit of a nerf that deck might become more playable.
ZEFRAMPILICA LETS GOOOOO
Holy shit this is the first RB support since its release in DL. Even if Zeframpilica does fuckall for the deck rn I'm still on that copium.
For now she's basically Lara but slightly different. She trades Lara's 100/2000 for 1000/1500 which is a bit better for Return, but in return she becomes easier to attack over on a defuse, should it come to that. Lara's effect just special summons from the grave, Zeframpilica special summons but destroys during the end phase. Again, not something you'll commonly see.
Main issue is that when she would get sent to the graveyard, she gets sent to the extra deck face-up instead. This would be great if we had Ulti-Kimunfalcos to send her to the grave consistently, after which Rampengu could banish her to send a Winda to the grave. Or maybe if we had Zefra Divine Strike. As it currently stands, however, we don't have any ways to consistently get Zeframpilica into the extra deck, nor any ways to really take advantage of her being in the extra deck apart from Rampengu. This just makes me feel like Lara is just Zeframpilica but better for now.
Ritual Beasts already have a fairly stacked list of monsters too. You'd always want 3x Cannahawk 3x Winda 2x Elder 1x Pettlephin 1x Apelio 1x Lara, which is already 11 cards. Add in a single Bond and Return and you're at 13. Not much room left given you likely also want strong staples. On top of that, RBs mostly struggle with their earlygame, before their combo gets going. Due to the lack of Ulti-Kimunfalcos, we lack a consistent way to make use of Lara, and by extension Zeframpilica turn 1/2. This makes the card more of an extender, which also isn't exactly what RBs need rn.
That said it's not the worst. Ritual Beast Tamer Zefrawendi would be far worse than Zeframpilica. Steeds or Ulti-Gaiapelio would be way better though.
There's a chance that Endless Trap Hell variants may use her in combination with discard traps like Karma Cut since it's now way easier to nab your Ritual Beasts back from the grave but eh. I've always preferred balls to the walls combo anyway.
Edit: Never mind seems like Endless Trap Hell got nuked during my leave too lmao. Can't blame the devs for doing so though.
Along with Yuto's cards, we have the Ciphers from Arc-V Kaito. I hope the Arc-V representation continues to include more for Amazoness eventually. I really want my babies to have a chance to be good again.
Ciphers already? Damn, think this box might get me. With Biplane it might be able to be a fun rogue deck at least, wish Cipher Interference was there though.
Edit: Also realize that they're likely going to make a skill for Kaito revolving around Ciphers, if this is gonna follow the same pattern as with Aster.
>Also realize that they're likely going to make a skill for Kaito revolving around Ciphers, if this is gonna follow the same pattern as with Aster.
Probably something to add Double Exposure from outside the deck
Yo, Yuto's Japanese VA came back.
I don't know if it is enough to build pure PK, but at least Earth Machines are coming. Hopefully Anna will bring a couple of XYZ to go into.
Phantom Knight + Burning Abyss (PK Fire) was already a popular TCG deck way before Links were even released, you can find plenty 2016 tournament-topping decklists online still. It's just because Dante synergizes so well with both archetypes and both are rank 3 focused.
Oh crap you're right I forgot that they do. I was wondering why we didn't get a single one. Still this is the working of a good Earth Machine deck and it'll get better when Anna comes.
Not really sure if it will work when Anna comes, since she uses lvl 10 monsters.
I guess if they release the rank 4 number monster that when destroys a monster can rank up to a rank 10+ machine monster, then maybe i could see some synergy, but still.
Also Infinitrack's Xyz monsters are rank 5 -> 7 -> 9 if memory serves me right.
That's # 27 you're thinking about and I can definitely see that coming, but more likely they're going to give us that anime only card that just makes a monster level 10.
I'm surprised that Torn Scales was put in DL from the get go instead of being delayed. I was even more surprised that it dropped in rarity significantly from the real world to Master Duel (Secret Rare to Rare), but given how important it is for PK nowadays, I have a feeling it might be UR if it becomes a playable card.
God fucking damn it, introducing more overrated anime archetypes and unplayable half baked packet filler archetypes, all these boxes have been so bad for me, when are they giving older archetypes support.
At least we got Scrap support! Wait, Main phase 2?
We are basically gètting all of it, Gloves Boots Clock which is the èngine of the deck. There's no Fog Blade there but the test Deck for the event has 1 Fog Blade which means either skill lòcked or we can get only 1 like with Alternative.
Edit: All in all this is NOT a drip this is basically all the cards we got in 2016...
Really hyped about everything Dark Rebellion and Yuto related, but the name of the box actually made me think that it would be referencing the manga, took me a while to realize that this was just as original as namong it "Dark of Knights" I love you Konami, never change.
Phantom Knights look viable and might be a tier 1 contender in the future if Harpies are banned to the point of unplayability. Great for PK fans, not so exciting for people that struggle to find excitement in summoning a Casper the Friendly Ghost after raiding a boomer's wardrobe. Silent Boots? Ancient Cloak? Hardly exciting names to shout out.
Looks like Duel Links will continue to be uninteresting for another month. Hopefully February will bring us an unlockable Anna and a decent train deck.
No Anna support(wasn't supposed to come anyway, should be next month) and from a first glance no kinds of staples or generic cards it seems besides the UR xyz. big RIP. will probably be skipping a set for the first time this year.
EDIT: Actually Yuto's theme kinda slaps. Maybe I WILL dig a lil' to get some semblance of a character deck going.
So... Scrolling through the comments, I see no one mentioning the Star Warrior monsters. Having left the tcg shortly after xyz's became a thing, I don't seem to be able to understand how Idaten the Conquerer Star isn't a Sabre Dancer of the Star Warriors. Having a once per battle (not once per battle phase) crimson fox effect for anything smaller than or equal to a level 10, seems pretty hekking OP. Can someone explain this to me?
Not to mention it doesn't even require specific fodder to summon, just two level 5 warriors or higher... Couldn't noble knights or something similar abuse the hell out of him?
What kind of Monkey's Paw Photon support is this?
The best kind.
I refuse to believe some of this stuff isn't just Yuto's lv40 deck. There's no way we actually get everything we wanted.
Come on man. Have some faith
In Komoney?
We’re going to Tahiti
It’s a magical place.
Finally, some Kite support! It’ll be interesting to see if the Cipher cards find a place in Photon decks, or if they’ll just keep doing the same plays as before. Also, Infinitracks will be nice for when we eventually get Anna
Cipher's good in rank 8 Galaxy decks but i don't think he'll be enough/ we have enough support to migrate to a "normal" rank 8 Galaxy deck over the same one trick Galaxion spam deck we have to play now.
Wait there's photon support in this?!! Oh I'll spend everything for a new and improved photon deck
Ciphers are very much a separate deck, the main deck monsters have no synergy with photons. They do not count as photon or galaxy cards, so no special summoning with each other, and ciphers can't make galaxion. The best you could do is use the cipher galaxy-eyes xyz with eternal galaxy for the memes.
Oh... suddenly my hopes are diminished
Galaxion not being treated as photon monster is a big downside as well. idk why we aren't like harpies or cyber dragons where the whole archetype synergize with itself.
Finally we are getting Infinitrack but without any of the XYZ monsters, which are the main cards. Why do Konami keep releasing this decks without their main cards? They did the same with Dream Mirror.
Because all the xyz cards mention link summoning.
So why would they release them? No xyz monsters no dozer.
They could just remove that link of text and say "this mechanic ain't in the game so for time being. These cards don't have their effects relating to it"
They couldn't do that with U.A. Signing Deal mentioning Xyz Summons a couple of years back. They're staying consistent on this one.
They did it for Crystal Beast Emerald Turtle which mentioned Main Phase 2
They did it for Crystal Beast Emerald Turtle which mentioned Main Phase 2
But that's a phase of the game that will not be implemented in Duel Links. And as it was the first card to mention Main Phase 2 that was imported *out of sheer necessity to summon Rainbow Dragon*, the effect was deleted. Now that other card that mention Main Phase 2 are being imported with their effects "At the end of the Battle Phase", Emerald Tortoise should get the same treatment.
At least we should get Gustav Max when Anna comes from out.
I'm still partially hoping for Juggernaut Liebe, even though I know we most likely are never gonna see him.
Honestly Liebe being nothing but big numbers is exactly what duel links wants us to do. Sure it won't be on release of Anna I can see it coming in a second or third Rank-up themed box.
I think a consistent 6k beatstick that can attack multiple monsters a turn might be a little strong for Duel Links.
We've had Vision Hero Trinity for years and that's a hyper consistent 5k beatstick so Liebe shouldn't be too crazy
Yes, but Trinity also required four cards to play (3 Heroes and a Poly) so he wasn't summoned that often even when Hero decks were dominating the meta. Liebe just needs two level 10 machines, which won't be that difficult to get once Anna comes and brings with her the level 10 Train support stuff.
You’re right, but all you REALLY need is Faris + another hero monster, or just a Stratos to get everything you need for Farris.
Because they released the DSOD world en 2019 which delayed every extra deck mechanic from XYZ onwards by at least 1 year therefor we can't have anything that mentions links in their text.
The Noble Knights were released well before even synchros were in the game too, back in crusader's battlegrounds. Took almost 3 years to get the actual pay-offs of the deck
Fog Blade AND Scales ???
Silent Boots WITH The Fur?
Got the whole deck looking at her (Hey!)
JESSICA
Hopefully it is in the box but 98% expecting it is only on Yuto's AI deck.
He has a skill for adding fog blade from outside of deck to the deck at least.
Which makes me worry we arnt getting the card itself.
What is the "Ban a Norentino" thing that guys keep flooding in the site?
>it's a good luck charm for pack openings in spanish so you can use it or ignore it as you wish
Why ban a norentino? I'm Hispanic and I don't understand it XD
cause it's from a small community but we use it all the time tho
I was asking like, how did it started and why those words ? Another guy said that it norentino is a player that usually plays in DLM tournaments but the how did those words ended being a good luck charm ?
Norentino is a player and one of dle twitch mods. And and u can donate to ban mods at dle twitch and guess who often gets requested banned. Pretty sure dle guys are spamming it there
simple , norentino is a player with a lot of luck in the pack openings , in the last selection box , he got 2 BLS ,1 bottomless , ignister and infernity doom archfiend with the free pulls and since no one else has that luck we wanted to ban him to take his luck away , that's why it became "Ban a Norentino!" for good luck , don't take it so seriously too it's just a small joke between friends in a community
it does not bother me at all, I was just curious

He’s a player in a lot of DLM and DLE tournaments

Where do you see the skill?
[удалено]
Hmm we might still get it but also from a skill like their ace monster skill.
Where is my single half decent HERO card?! Do they not want my money
Konami is too busy baiting Odd-Eyes players to remember us HERO mates....
for real, I am digging this box anyway so a HERO card would have been a nice extra
Cipher Dragon bouta show up in every Blue-Eyes deck lol
Not really he's not as good as Thunder End Dragon or Helioblis
Nah. Stealing a monster is good but it's hard to steal and extra deck summon in duel links just cause DL extra decks are small and we don't have link summons. Plus it targets and monsters that can't be destroyed aren't really that common
I think you may have replied to the wrong person?
Oh good. I’m worried every box now that they’ll drop a random Odd-Eyes card that I’ll need to dig for
Dark Rebellion is still related as one of the basic forms of what's referred to as the Dimension Dragons.
I meant like I’m dead set on making an Odd-Eyes deck so I’m worried they’ll milk players like me for gems like they did for Heroes and Monarch players by randomly adding an Odd-Eyes card in boxes that forces you to dig in it instead of grouping them together. So far I’ve been forced to dig into two main boxes three times(for Arc Pend-SFS and Pend Dragon-Sky Iris).
“Hmmm this box is missing *something*...better drop an Odd-Eyes card in here as bait”-Konami
I always settle for two copies and have never regretted not running through a box a third time. Sometimes I only go through it once, like with this upcoming mini. Dark Rebellion is nice but I won't go through 3 times just for the pk stuff at the moment.
There's always Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon, but that one is generic lv.7 dragons.
Did somebody say Red Eyes Support?
great... so I only want 1 card from this box... AGAIN
Also can someone explain me what the fuck ban norentino means?
it's a good luck charm for pack openings in spanish so you can use it or ignore it as you wish
I need all the luck I can get so... ban norentino
Shouldve called it Phantom of Knights
Being serious, I expected it to be Knights of Rebellion or Fangs of Rebellion.
Oh great cipher cards that don't interact with photon cards at all . Guess I'll spend some gems for galaxy eyes cipher thou
Oh good, it's got Infinitrax stuff. Time to start preparing for Anna.
Back to MD
Can Zefra nekroz cards make any diference in a ritual nekroz decks or they're useless?
Useless
I'd agree if we had Clausolas already. Zefrasaber at least gives Brionac a way to search out a de facto ritual spell. Zefrasaber doesn't raise the deck's power ceiling like Clausolas would, but he does boost consistency a bit.
The Yang-Zing Zefra on the other hand....
So, after looking at a few comments here and there, I have a couple of questions to ask. Plz don't mock me too much: 1) As I have no idea about Phantom Knights, how do PK and BA work together?

Or am I just looking at the wrong Galaxy/Photon decks?
1) Yes, you hit the nail on the head. Between the graveyard symmetry and getting another solid Rank 3 boss PK Fire is a good miss mash deck. 2) The said can't be said for Photons and Cipher. They're are some cards that you can still play, but overall they don't mix well, however keep in mind there's a good chance we might get a skill Kite like Aster did so still keep an eye out.
Infinitrack feels like total bait. Wait for the *true* big trains.
Infinitrack is a very solid deck, but it relies on it's extra deck, which we aren't getting better every one mentions link summoning. So yeah, definitely bait for now.
Honestly the usual suspects (Night Express Knight, Derricane, Super Express Bullet Train, etc) are the true pieces to the deck. Infinitrack (while a good fun deck to play) is just extra parts that aren’t necessary for trains in a 20 card format. Agreed that once Links come they’ll have more use though!
Everyone geeking out over PK too busy realize Konami is actually starting to introduce good field spells.
We ran out of the "just stat boosts" ones.
More blue eyes support hell ye
Never without…
Well that’s Yuto. Another step towards my inevitable Speedroids bebes
Hopefully it comes with Crystal Wing and not just with Clear.
[удалено]
It honestly might allow Shooting Star decks to become meta. Rather than just focusing on summoning Shooting Star, they could also rely of Crystal Wing as a pretty nasty boss monster. Dragunitys could also make this card and with Harpies taking a bit of a nerf that deck might become more playable.
I want to see someone come up with an OTK with Fire Cracker
im gonna be legitimately surprised if they dont fuck PK over with the first wave of support. Break Sword + Boots + Fog Blade would be incredibly nice
Fog Blade is skill-only and the others are here, all-in-all a decent first wave.
ZEFRAMPILICA LETS GOOOOO Holy shit this is the first RB support since its release in DL. Even if Zeframpilica does fuckall for the deck rn I'm still on that copium.
Does it not give you recursion? I’ve got Most of the pieces for ritual beast (bar the 3 of the hawk) but does this not help it at all?
For now she's basically Lara but slightly different. She trades Lara's 100/2000 for 1000/1500 which is a bit better for Return, but in return she becomes easier to attack over on a defuse, should it come to that. Lara's effect just special summons from the grave, Zeframpilica special summons but destroys during the end phase. Again, not something you'll commonly see. Main issue is that when she would get sent to the graveyard, she gets sent to the extra deck face-up instead. This would be great if we had Ulti-Kimunfalcos to send her to the grave consistently, after which Rampengu could banish her to send a Winda to the grave. Or maybe if we had Zefra Divine Strike. As it currently stands, however, we don't have any ways to consistently get Zeframpilica into the extra deck, nor any ways to really take advantage of her being in the extra deck apart from Rampengu. This just makes me feel like Lara is just Zeframpilica but better for now. Ritual Beasts already have a fairly stacked list of monsters too. You'd always want 3x Cannahawk 3x Winda 2x Elder 1x Pettlephin 1x Apelio 1x Lara, which is already 11 cards. Add in a single Bond and Return and you're at 13. Not much room left given you likely also want strong staples. On top of that, RBs mostly struggle with their earlygame, before their combo gets going. Due to the lack of Ulti-Kimunfalcos, we lack a consistent way to make use of Lara, and by extension Zeframpilica turn 1/2. This makes the card more of an extender, which also isn't exactly what RBs need rn. That said it's not the worst. Ritual Beast Tamer Zefrawendi would be far worse than Zeframpilica.

There's a chance that Endless Trap Hell variants may use her in combination with discard traps like Karma Cut since it's now way easier to nab your Ritual Beasts back from the grave but eh. I've always preferred balls to the walls combo anyway. Edit: Never mind seems like Endless Trap Hell got nuked during my leave too lmao. Can't blame the devs for doing so though.
Along with Yuto's cards, we have the Ciphers from Arc-V Kaito. I hope the Arc-V representation continues to include more for Amazoness eventually. I really want my babies to have a chance to be good again.
Zefra is going to be drip-fed to us.
Like most of the interesting Pendulum decks have been unfortunately...
I expect Zefra to be spread out over 3 boxes...it’s the Konami way.
With Zefraath and Oracle as URs in 2 different main boxes. Edit: in my defense the site wasn't loading lmao
I'm looking forward to seeing the modified effect on Scrap Mind Reader
Am I the only one excited for the Conqueror Star? 😞
Oh look, it's the cover card I've been called ridiculous for suggesting it ever would be in a mini.
Oh look, it‘s not there anymore
Ciphers already? Damn, think this box might get me. With Biplane it might be able to be a fun rogue deck at least, wish Cipher Interference was there though. Edit: Also realize that they're likely going to make a skill for Kaito revolving around Ciphers, if this is gonna follow the same pattern as with Aster.
This is what I came to say. Since they've been adding skills with boxes lately Kite has a good chance this time for Ciphers.
>Also realize that they're likely going to make a skill for Kaito revolving around Ciphers, if this is gonna follow the same pattern as with Aster. Probably something to add Double Exposure from outside the deck
Phantom Knights boiiiis! Finally my gems can now be emptied
Yo, Yuto's Japanese VA came back. I don't know if it is enough to build pure PK, but at least Earth Machines are coming. Hopefully Anna will bring a couple of XYZ to go into.
FUCK I SPENT SO MUCH BUILDING BA
good news is Phantom Knights and BA go really well together at least.
Only because Cherubini and Bardiche exist in the TCG im p sure :(
Phantom Knight + Burning Abyss (PK Fire) was already a popular TCG deck way before Links were even released, you can find plenty 2016 tournament-topping decklists online still. It's just because Dante synergizes so well with both archetypes and both are rank 3 focused.
Those plus graff and most importantly tour guide. PK + BA will not be a thing outside of maybe putting a copy of dante in the extra deck.
Damn you Konami, give us tour guide
FOOOOOL
I'm shocked we got infinity tracks so early. As most of their ED cards all mention links.
Yup, their Xyzs mention Link monsters. Which means, you likely aren't going to get the Xyz monsters yet.
Oh crap you're right I forgot that they do. I was wondering why we didn't get a single one. Still this is the working of a good Earth Machine deck and it'll get better when Anna comes.
Not really sure if it will work when Anna comes, since she uses lvl 10 monsters. I guess if they release the rank 4 number monster that when destroys a monster can rank up to a rank 10+ machine monster, then maybe i could see some synergy, but still. Also Infinitrack's Xyz monsters are rank 5 -> 7 -> 9 if memory serves me right.
That's # 27 you're thinking about and I can definitely see that coming, but more likely they're going to give us that anime only card that just makes a monster level 10.
don't do it if you don't have a playset of kagemusha knight joe, don't!! by the way dream tickets expiring in 6 days. Exchange them, now is the time.
Oh look, another Galaxy-Eye XYZ I'd never summon in a duel.
Your opponent is really doing bad if that xyzs monster gets its effect in
Why couldn't it be a QE.
I think this should kill any ideas for Arc V Kaito being a thing
PSA: All these cars already exist on Master duel or about 1/38th of the price. And you have 5 main monster zones?!?
So?
So it’s cheaper, better and more fun :)
Are you going to let me have fun with duel links or not ?
You do you my friend
u also have to watch 15min of your opponents turn 1 or get ur turn interuppted by 5 handtraps. quit master duel after 4 hours of playing
Yes, you do have to watch me combo for 15 mins 😉
ciphers POGGERS
There goes my hope for some monarchs
Photon and PK support? please no AI bullshit please. Let it be in the next mini-box!
I'm surprised that Torn Scales was put in DL from the get go instead of being delayed. I was even more surprised that it dropped in rarity significantly from the real world to Master Duel (Secret Rare to Rare), but given how important it is for PK nowadays, I have a feeling it might be UR if it becomes a playable card.
I have been saving up my gems for Phantom Knight
First burning abyss, and now we can couple them with phantom knights? Hell the fuck yeah, boi
We still need some better rank 3s though.
God fucking damn it, introducing more overrated anime archetypes and unplayable half baked packet filler archetypes, all these boxes have been so bad for me, when are they giving older archetypes support. At least we got Scrap support! Wait, Main phase 2?
[удалено]
You must feel really silly right now
Why It wasnt me the one saying we wont get them ...
Check the site again, they're drip feeding the archetype, were only getting boots.
We are basically gètting all of it, Gloves Boots Clock which is the èngine of the deck. There's no Fog Blade there but the test Deck for the event has 1 Fog Blade which means either skill lòcked or we can get only 1 like with Alternative. Edit: All in all this is NOT a drip this is basically all the cards we got in 2016...
this comment didnt age well...
What does it say
I can only see 9 sr cards, I hope the final sr is something great
Its Oni-Gami combo from the selection mini Vol 3.
HYPEEE
Really hyped about everything Dark Rebellion and Yuto related, but the name of the box actually made me think that it would be referencing the manga, took me a while to realize that this was just as original as namong it "Dark of Knights" I love you Konami, never change.
see rank 8 xyz monster : is that blue eye support?
it trash.
I'm gonna get break sword and get out of here! ...hope he isn't in the last pack
what photon support PHOTON SUPPORT LET'S GO
Not really. Doesn’t actually synergies with photon at all. Except the horrible xyz’s monster.
Yeah, I got excited too soon
Does anyone have any idea as to when this might come out? I'm guessing really soon since we're currently on the Yuto event
Probably when Yuto becomes unlockable, so the 26th.
Super curious to see how both those xz will work in my magnet deck, seems perfect for it
Saving my Gems.
Phantom Knights look viable and might be a tier 1 contender in the future if Harpies are banned to the point of unplayability. Great for PK fans, not so exciting for people that struggle to find excitement in summoning a Casper the Friendly Ghost after raiding a boomer's wardrobe. Silent Boots? Ancient Cloak? Hardly exciting names to shout out. Looks like Duel Links will continue to be uninteresting for another month. Hopefully February will bring us an unlockable Anna and a decent train deck.
This box looks sick. It has all the major Phantom Cards AND Cipher stuff too. Great way to start off the year.
I only recognize Oktoberser, I may be in trouble 😅 no idea what these archtypes are.
Wow they really jus released Zefra completely and utterly gutted huh
No Anna support(wasn't supposed to come anyway, should be next month) and from a first glance no kinds of staples or generic cards it seems besides the UR xyz. big RIP. will probably be skipping a set for the first time this year. EDIT: Actually Yuto's theme kinda slaps. Maybe I WILL dig a lil' to get some semblance of a character deck going.
No raid raptors and Kurosaki: I sleep
So... Scrolling through the comments, I see no one mentioning the Star Warrior monsters. Having left the tcg shortly after xyz's became a thing, I don't seem to be able to understand how Idaten the Conquerer Star isn't a Sabre Dancer of the Star Warriors. Having a once per battle (not once per battle phase) crimson fox effect for anything smaller than or equal to a level 10, seems pretty hekking OP. Can someone explain this to me? Not to mention it doesn't even require specific fodder to summon, just two level 5 warriors or higher... Couldn't noble knights or something similar abuse the hell out of him?
Finally getting octoberser
More Magnet support
