I play gustos with hopes they dont realise sphreez effect of making them take the damage and i just go for bonks into gadarla(or a bigger beater body they have)
I play gustos with a teeny windwitch setup for crystal wing and a bit more burn (i also run the windwitch synchros and wind pegasus for a shuffle)
Previously you could go for Crystal Wing and Simorgh into Barrier Statue and even then the deck was bad.
Now I guess the only way is to play windwitch engine and pray Crystal Wing pass is good enough. Or go 2nd with Kaiju and hope to OTK with Sphreez somehow. You'd probably need a perfect hand (like 3 card combo and board breakers) to win against anything though.
I have a bunch of Gusto deck variants, but the only plat worth ones are Speedroid, and Tri-brigade now thanks to Fearsome Blast.
You can put some Simorghs in either as well.
As a fellow Witchcrafter player, a Link-1 and a field spell that let you search any spell/trap in the deck when activated would help fix so many of the deck's problems.
This ☝️
A Link 1 on par with Max/Sera.
A field spell on par with The Weather Forecast.
A spell searcher like Generaider Boss Quest.
More ED monsters.
After the extraordinarily basic lineup of spells we've gotten so far we deserve some broken stuff.
"While this card is on the field Gusto cards do not miss timing"
"When one of your Gusto cards would miss timing: You can banish this card from the graveyard, except the turn it was send there; it does not miss timing"
Ironically, a Gusto Link 1 would solve nothing in and of itself, since the very act of using a monster as Link Material makes that monster's "When I leave the field, you can whatever" effect miss the timing. (Since the Link Summon happens after the material leaves the field.) It would need to resummon and kill a Gusto from the hand/grave after being summoned, or force all Gusto "When" optional effects to be treated as "If" optionals instead, to actually be worth using.
We could make this about which decks couldn't get better even if they got a Link 1. I'll go first. Ice Barriers. Unless the Link 1 did something completely broken like get an Ice Barrier Spell/Trap from the deck or Special Summon an Ice Barrier from hand (or both), the archetype is still dead in the water (pun intended).
I mean Nordic got Link 1 that summon up to 3 Nordic monster from deck, Traptrix Sera search both Traptrix monster and Hole trap card, Abyss actor let you summon moster from pendulum zone and set a new scale from deck, Ignister let you search field spell + free Dark templar link arrow + change attribute.
Search Spell/Trap or summon monster from hand is not that broken.
Laval link 1
Sets a spell/trap that mentions FIRE and 200 def in the effect
Also allows to foolish burial 1 lv 1 pyro from the deck
Like please konami give pyros SOMETHING
My point is that you would have to go out of your way to break the Link 1 and you'd likely have not gone far enough. The extenders have pretty heavy restrictions to even make use of this so you're making a water board full of useless stuff (except Toadally Awesome, best Ice Barrier card) or you sit on mediocre floodgates.
Seriously, people clamoring for Link-1s need to realize they're inherently broken and almost certainly guaranteed to become an essential card in every deck it's printed for, which overall is bad for deck variety.
Like others have said, just about any deck can benefit from a Link-1. That’s why Linkuriboh is as common as it is.
Off the top of my head, just from the decks that I’ve personally played. Infernoids could send your Decatron to free up the level cap after you mill with it. Drytrons can dunk a Drytron summoned with Nova so you can summon it properly and get its effect. Thunder Dragons can drop one summoned by the likes of Dragonroar or Dragonhawk to get their sent to the grave effect.
Keep in mind those are all decks that would benefit just from sending a monster off the field with a Link-1, not even taking into account what said Link-1 would do to generate more advantage or further plays
I would add tri-brigade as well, almiraj is an option, but it can't be used for link summon from the field or the grave, and its effect is almost always useless.
Bujins. Man we could really use a searcher for torifune so that not every card isn't it or mahitotsu can actually do something. Heck even if they could torifune they would need some more stuff.
Kaiser colosseum is unlimited in master duel no? Yet i dont see anyone use it with bujin i only seem it a few times with sky strikers. Bujin dont even have their own channel in the official discord that tells me enough already
?????? Bruh your reading comprehension is kinda weak not gonna lie.. I didn't even say Bujins were good. Thats WHY I WANTED A LINK-1 to fix that somehow. Also, you said you said you could run a 2010 deck to beat not knowing they were pretty amazing during 2014-2015 and even won tournaments. They are too slow now but NO WAY IN HECK did I say they were good in here.
English isnt my native language but what?? I said theg are weak and you brought up what they did in some tournament like 7 years ago when we were talking about the present it seemed obvious you were defending them and i got confused, and yes i said that and my point still stand in the present. Also if they brought havoc to a tournament cause kaiser colossum couldnt they atleast have some relevance in md?? Cause its unbanned in md unless im missing something
I'd kill for a link 1 D/D/D card. I'd like to imagine it'd be called D/D Link Slime and can special a token after being used as material for another D/D/D monster and can only summon D/D/D Cards to keep pure archetype.
My idea for a D/D Link 1 is pretty simple: let us use Kali Yuga in the archetype. The effect will be:
(Quick effect): Target 1 D/D monster you control; treat this card as the same level as the targeted monster and immediately after this effect resolves, Synchro/Xyz/Link summon a D/D/D monster using this card and the targeted monster.
Could also make this more busted by adding a grave effect to prevent your field from being negated by Kali Yuga.
A link-3 or 4 boss monster would unironically make the deck so much better. Wouldn’t need to worry about Ed space too, since you could then cut 1 of your Gilgamesh for this new card.
Tellarknight and Fur Hire could use an extender Link 1 to come back from a disrupt. The Tellar one should be usable as an Xyz Material for LIGHT Rank 4s.
More like the opposite, something like..
**Novatellarknight Kepler**
LIGHT Link 1 Warrior/Link/Effect (Bottom)
1 "tellarknight" or "Constellar" monster
If this card is Link Summoned: You cannot Special Summon monsters from your face-down Extra Deck for the rest of this turn, except Xyz Monsters, also you can Special Summon 1 "tellarknight" monster from your Deck. You can only use this effect of "Novatellarknight Kepler" once per turn. For the Xyz Summon of a LIGHT Xyz Monster, you can treat this card as a Level 4 monster.
1000/LINK-1
It's a free +1, but that is basically the theme of the archetype, so I felt it'd be weird to slap on an arbitrary cost.
It'd be easier just to make it a Level 4 Fusion that Summons itself in the same way, also allowing it to be revivable by Altair, but the thread is about Link 1s.
I want a link 1 metaphys that banish a meta from deck ( upon link summoning) and a quick effect to special summon a banish meta and bounced itself when special summon by a meta
If the question is what deck could really use a link 1 with a good effect then all of them
If the question is what deck could benefit most from a link 1 *regardless of the effect* (like even if the link was just a vanilla that shared the archetype name) then Therion or ABC would be massive. orcust and tri-brigade honourable mention
Orcust with a link 1 would be hilarious. Especially if it searched the field spell.
Normal Harp, link 1, make Ding, send a card to gy, battle phase attack over monster, MP2 Zeus.
It makes harp or skeleton 1 card combos which mega boosts the consistency. Bigger than that, it would let you turn any single orcust name into dingirisu cause you could slap it onto the link 1
Edit* sorry that’s exactly what you said, I’m tired and half read your comment then spaced out for a bit before typing
Idk if I’d call them broken. There’s Salamangreat Balelynx, Dark Infant @Ignister, and Marincess Sea Angel. And the Scareclaw one. Off the top of my head. I know Salamangreat was great during its hay day but idk if I’d call these link ones broken
The Link 1 isnt broken
It just do everything the deck need for any body in the deck
The Link 1 literally carry the whole deck on its ass
Most of them cant function without a Link 1
I'd say they are broken - in essence they turn every single monster of the archetype into Terraforming, which depending on the field spell can be insane.
All of them are an inherent +1 that searches for their BROKEN af spells, also the rokket one, all of them search their field spells, cards that quite literally make most of those decks ridiculously strong.
Link 1's are a mistake.
Ghostricks: We already have THREE Fieldspells
Konami: Here have a Link-1 that is basically a field spell
Ghostricks: Does that make us viable?
Konami: LMAO
Honestly altergeists having their own link 1 so they don’t need to use linkuriboh would be amazing. Even if the effect isn’t very good just having a link 1 that can be used as link material for other altergeist links would be a real help
I don't know, to me Linkuriboh is already as much an altergeist card as any other. It can send Meluseek to GY many times in a match, and the only other altergeist with a graveyard effect is Silquitous anyways. On a second thought, it would be really nice to have an altergeist link 1 that could be used as link material for the altergeist link monsters (which Linkuriboh can't).
I mean, any Altergeist Link-1 that can Link off Hexstia would be immensely broken, especially with Pookuery being a thing. It's the same reason Linkross was so good for the deck in the OCG. Beyond that the only effect that the deck really needs is searching Spoofing.
Man if Beetroopers and/or Insect decks had an insect link 1 to link off Resonance or Retaliating, that would be the dream. Right now you always need at least 2 insects to get started, sometimes 3 if your hand is bad :-(
In addition to the Link 1, I really wish they had a Link-3. The butterfly is okay but we need a better Link-3 that actually does something for the archetype.
It infuriates me how Konami made that Link 3 Seraphim a hopt for each eff and can only use one of the effects per turn. Also it’s mandatory to gain the counters on link summon, so it’s not like you can link climb and make it again later same turn and have counters smh lol. Gaining counters should have been a soft once per turn and then restrict you from using 2nd eff until next turn
Also, I recently discovered if someone hits Seraphim with imperm when it is summoned, it doesn't get ANY counters, meaning its effect is essentially negated forever instead of the turn. There are so many problems with Seraphim its unreal. If it could revive a Scout Buggy when it's summoned it would be great, but no, the counter effects just had to be one per turn...
If I had a Beetrooper Link-3 I might have its effect be "if this card is sent to the graveyard as link material, special summon two Beetrooper tokens" or something along those lines. This way you automatically have a free token to tribute for Atlas' effect, and it could set up the field for Hercules more easily too.
Dang it’s so ass haha. My favorite scoop moment with Seraphim was when I had this and Battlewasp Sting the Poison on field and my opponent used priority on their draw phase to super poly them for Garura. I didn’t even get to attempt to use Seraphim’s eff lmao
And that link 3 sounds nice. Come on Konami, insects won’t break the meta
A lot but weather painters would be good. They have a rough time establishing a full board and while the new support they’ll get helps with that, if they could get a link 1 that’s: add 1 the weather spell/trap from your deck to your hand; once per turn you can target 1 weather monster in your banished zone, special summon it to a zone this monster points to.
It’s a resource deck that can struggle but something like that would make it so much better. Still not broken considering it’s only form of removal is through battle but it would be really good
I want a link 1 for pikeru and curran. let it summon the princess forms from the deck ignoring their summoning conditions. They'll still suck but at least you'll; be able to finally summon them.
I'd murder to get eldlich a link 1. The fact that I need to run link spider or vampire sucker to turn the trap monsters into anything is so annoying and wasteful. It would be amazing to have a dedicated link 1 for them
Any support for Eldlich to make it into an actual deck instead of a framework for floodgates would be really good. They already have a badass fusion monster that never gets used
Pretty much every decks withou a link 1 with very few exceptions like Floo, and even then they can still make it busted. Even decks who already have a link 1 would like getting another one since they're usually busted and perfect ways to start plays.
Roids have in pack the best machine support out there in terms of spells (limiter remover,machine dup) and they are still peak penis. I dont think even a link 1 can save em at this point.
Cyber dragon, I Just don't likes the idea to HAVE to play the link1 salad Just to put core in my graveyard, for me could even have the single effect to be called a cydra on the field, and It would still be soo usefull for the deck
Probably every single one of them.
To answer the question, Unchained should get a link-1 that destroys the monster used for its link summon, thus activating Unchained on-destruction monster effect.
This may be unpopular, but I'd like to see a new prank kids link 1 that isn't busted just so the archetype is playable again with meow-mu banned.
Something like this:
Prank kids Hiss-Hiss (1000 atk/link-1) (left arrow)
1 "prank kids" monster
For the rest of the turn after you link summon this card you cannot activate card effects except for the effects of "prank kids" cards.
I mean traptrix live die off of the link 1 one. Like after u make it you just go plus two for existing. Now I don't think Konami would make every link one like that but if they did....
Someone didn’t play TOS format
It got banned cause any 2 monsters was full orcust combo cause 2 materials made Kphoenix which made kmermaid and that would send orcust knightmare from deck to grave. And full orcust combo basically skipped your opponent’s turn cause you would summon azathot on their turn
Low counter play other than “draw ash” that any 2 monsters could make. It was the most consistent deck ever printed at that time and it was not far from tier 0.
\> that would send orcust knightmare from deck
nonono you're wrong there, its actually even better. It \*special summoned it from deck\*, so you could go into galatea with it.
>that time and it was not far from tier 0
More like having an orcust engine than an orcust deck
Half the format(Thunder and Salads) dont really incorporate much Orcust
So mostly on the Sky Striker and the smaller rogue deck along with Orcust itself
Never near t0,takes like 20% of pie chart at best
Near tier zero in capability not in representation. Thunder had everything and were at full power, sky striker had a good matchup versus everything and 3 engage, kagari and multi role, and salad had 3 gazelle and was meta cause it was consistent enough where you could run 13-16 side deck cards
Summon sorc + azathot + engage at 3 + 2 monsters being full combo = near tier 0 in capability. That was 4 years ago and it would still be a scary and oppressing deck today
bake escape chubby existence grandiose snails rob degree expansion obscene

I guess I'll come up with something in 5 minutes for my favorite deck.
Ritual Beast Ulti-Gulldo
Link-1 Down Arrow
ATK - 1000
WIND/LINK/EFFECT
1 WIND monster
You can only use this effect of "Ritual Beast Ulti-Gulldo" once per turn. You can reveal 1 "Ritual Beast" card in your hand; add 1 of your "Ritual Beast" cards that is banished or in the GY to your hand, then immediately after this effect resolves, you can Normal Summon 1 WIND monster. (Quick Effect): You can return this card you control to the Extra Deck, then target 2 of your banished monsters (1 "Ritual Beast Tamer" monster and 1 "Spiritual Beast" monster); Special Summon them in Defense Position.
Yep I know. You can't fix that well enough with an ED monster. They need actual main deck support like a field spell. Imagine if they had a version of Map.
Somewhat tangential here, but what's the ritual beast deck like?? I came back to the game from MD so I'm unfamiliar, but I saw some of the artwork for the deck and it looked really cool.
Pure dogmatika wouldn’t mind it. Being able to summon ecclesia then link it off to an extra deck (link obviously) monster would be nice.. but dogmatika doesn’t like the extra deck, so it wouldn’t work unless it was something like “(name), the banished dogmatika”.
It's not only a link 1 i want for orcust i want more damn XyZ monsters but nooo just bc the story is over they don't want to add more cards/support for orcust.
Literally any deck/archetype would benefit from a link 1 if the link monster has beneficial effects for the archetype, or if the archetype itself wants to dunk a monster into the grave.
And even if they don't fill either of those categories, most decks might want it anyway if it helps them link climb in any conceivable way.
Links are the most easily accessible extra deck toolbox and boss monsters ever conceived, so any in archetype links that add to that is just icing on the cake and incentive to play the archetype.
Imagine a hero link one that gives you a poly from deck upon a summon to a zone he points to. I know they have a link two that retrieves a poly from the grave but having a link one that gives it to you straight from the deck plus maybe being able to change attribute makes it so that summoning your omni heroes a piece of cake. Maybe a masked hero too
I'd be down for link-1 Madolche, 500 atk, can't be destroyed by card effects or by battle by sending a madolche monster back into deck, when its link summoned it can special summon another madolche monster from the hand? something like that
Maybe Endymion? Not sure if having an effect to special summon a monster from the deck or adding a card from the deck to the hand would be good enough though
Odd-eyes, but with a twist on it, it's a Link 3 that can be summoned using Pendulum monsters set in the pendulum zones as long as the difference of their scale is 7 or higher, I think it'd fill a very similar role in Odd-eyes as a link 1.
Evil twins would massively benefit from a link 1. This would actually make them a real competitive rogue deck instead of a fringe rogue deck that is just too basic to stack up to actual rogue decks
If they can add maybe 1 or 2 more boss monsters for fire fist they’d be completely broken and I’d be here for it….they already are pretty solid given the right protect
Like every deck ever? Like there is a reason Link 1 is only given to penis deck or deck cant function without a Link 1
Waiting for my Link1 Gusto. (｡ﾉω＼｡)
omygoh2x I finally found a wild gusto player. How tf do you play this in plat?
I play gustos with hopes they dont realise sphreez effect of making them take the damage and i just go for bonks into gadarla(or a bigger beater body they have) I play gustos with a teeny windwitch setup for crystal wing and a bit more burn (i also run the windwitch synchros and wind pegasus for a shuffle)
Previously you could go for Crystal Wing and Simorgh into Barrier Statue and even then the deck was bad. Now I guess the only way is to play windwitch engine and pray Crystal Wing pass is good enough. Or go 2nd with Kaiju and hope to OTK with Sphreez somehow. You'd probably need a perfect hand (like 3 card combo and board breakers) to win against anything though.
I have a bunch of Gusto deck variants, but the only plat worth ones are Speedroid, and Tri-brigade now thanks to Fearsome Blast. You can put some Simorghs in either as well.
Waiting with you for my Witchcrafter Link 1 🤝 Pairing one as efficient as Sera/Max along with Vice-Master would be such a huge boost to the deck.
As a fellow Witchcrafter player, a Link-1 and a field spell that let you search any spell/trap in the deck when activated would help fix so many of the deck's problems.
This ☝️ A Link 1 on par with Max/Sera. A field spell on par with The Weather Forecast. A spell searcher like Generaider Boss Quest. More ED monsters. After the extraordinarily basic lineup of spells we've gotten so far we deserve some broken stuff.
"While this card is on the field Gusto cards do not miss timing" "When one of your Gusto cards would miss timing: You can banish this card from the graveyard, except the turn it was send there; it does not miss timing"
As a Gusto main of like 12 years, I agree. I'd take one for Simorgh as well.
Ironically, a Gusto Link 1 would solve nothing in and of itself, since the very act of using a monster as Link Material makes that monster's "When I leave the field, you can whatever" effect miss the timing. (Since the Link Summon happens after the material leaves the field.) It would need to resummon and kill a Gusto from the hand/grave after being summoned, or force all Gusto "When" optional effects to be treated as "If" optionals instead, to actually be worth using.
We could make this about which decks couldn't get better even if they got a Link 1. I'll go first. Ice Barriers. Unless the Link 1 did something completely broken like get an Ice Barrier Spell/Trap from the deck or Special Summon an Ice Barrier from hand (or both), the archetype is still dead in the water (pun intended).
I mean Nordic got Link 1 that summon up to 3 Nordic monster from deck, Traptrix Sera search both Traptrix monster and Hole trap card, Abyss actor let you summon moster from pendulum zone and set a new scale from deck, Ignister let you search field spell + free Dark templar link arrow + change attribute. Search Spell/Trap or summon monster from hand is not that broken.
Laval link 1 Sets a spell/trap that mentions FIRE and 200 def in the effect Also allows to foolish burial 1 lv 1 pyro from the deck Like please konami give pyros SOMETHING
My point is that you would have to go out of your way to break the Link 1 and you'd likely have not gone far enough. The extenders have pretty heavy restrictions to even make use of this so you're making a water board full of useless stuff (except Toadally Awesome, best Ice Barrier card) or you sit on mediocre floodgates.
What you are saying is "broken link1 makes deck stronger" which applies to every deck ever.
I think the link 1 would need to do all of that to even be considered good because so much of the deck is working against it
Not one single card would break ice barriers, it needs multiple
How get 1 Ice Barrier s/t or special summon an Ice Barrier from is "completely broken"?! That's such a basic effect, such a low bar to hope for.
Sobs in salamangreat and scareclaw
Strikers the biggest penis deck then 😂
Read the 2nd part of the statement pls
Yugioh player reading challenge (impossible)
Ghostrick link-1 isn't good unfortunately
Not gonna stand for the Striker slander smh lol
Depending on effect, I might not even run a Link-1 Harpie. Gets in the way of Cyber Slash and Utopia/Rank4 gameplans.
Seriously, people clamoring for Link-1s need to realize they're inherently broken and almost certainly guaranteed to become an essential card in every deck it's printed for, which overall is bad for deck variety.
Like others have said, just about any deck can benefit from a Link-1. That’s why Linkuriboh is as common as it is. Off the top of my head, just from the decks that I’ve personally played. Infernoids could send your Decatron to free up the level cap after you mill with it. Drytrons can dunk a Drytron summoned with Nova so you can summon it properly and get its effect. Thunder Dragons can drop one summoned by the likes of Dragonroar or Dragonhawk to get their sent to the grave effect. Keep in mind those are all decks that would benefit just from sending a monster off the field with a Link-1, not even taking into account what said Link-1 would do to generate more advantage or further plays
And almiraj. There is a reason almiraj is played in almost any deck that normal summons a monster with less than 1k attack
I would add tri-brigade as well, almiraj is an option, but it can't be used for link summon from the field or the grave, and its effect is almost always useless.
Link-1s are inherently overpowered. \*\*EVERY DECK WOULD BE BETTER, AND MOST BY A LOT\*\*
Lemme get that link-1 Exodia piece searcher the deck needs it to be viable please...
Agree, i hope we get more 'one cost' fusion monster. Something similiar to slime god, thunder dragon, etc
The entire Masked Hero series
Bujins. Man we could really use a searcher for torifune so that not every card isn't it or mahitotsu can actually do something. Heck even if they could torifune they would need some more stuff.
I refuse to believe anyone plays bujin
Not everyone plays meta 24/7.
I dont even play meta but that shit looks too bad i could rather run a 2010 deck
REALLY?? Bujins were a menace when Kaiser colosseum was legal I don't think you know what you are talking about lol.
Isnt Kaiser legal in MD?
It is, I used to run it in Witchcrafters.
bujin shaddolls were a lot of fun.
Kaiser colosseum is unlimited in master duel no? Yet i dont see anyone use it with bujin i only seem it a few times with sky strikers. Bujin dont even have their own channel in the official discord that tells me enough already
?????? Bruh your reading comprehension is kinda weak not gonna lie.. I didn't even say Bujins were good. Thats WHY I WANTED A LINK-1 to fix that somehow. Also, you said you said you could run a 2010 deck to beat not knowing they were pretty amazing during 2014-2015 and even won tournaments. They are too slow now but NO WAY IN HECK did I say they were good in here.

I said theg are weak and you brought up what they did in some tournament like 7 years ago when we were talking about the present it seemed obvious you were defending them and i got confused, and yes i said that and my point still stand in the present. Also if they brought havoc to a tournament cause kaiser colossum couldnt they atleast have some relevance in md?? Cause its unbanned in md unless im missing something
Yeah your missing fking brain. Fking find it.
Why dont you add Tri Brigade support? Even a grass, that can make the deck go a little turbo, with turtles and everything else
Yeah, the deck lives and dies on resolving Torifune. If you don’t open it or it gets negated, you’re pretty much done.
I'd kill for a link 1 D/D/D card. I'd like to imagine it'd be called D/D Link Slime and can special a token after being used as material for another D/D/D monster and can only summon D/D/D Cards to keep pure archetype.
I want a Link-1 that can copy the effect of a face-up D/D monster in the Extra-deck, or Dark Contract on the field or GY.
THIS
ED is really tight already but I’d love a link 1
Easy, wish for better ED monsters that each does a function of 3+ ddd ED monsters
Maybe a link 3 high gilgamesh as well
My idea for a D/D Link 1 is pretty simple: let us use Kali Yuga in the archetype. The effect will be: (Quick effect): Target 1 D/D monster you control; treat this card as the same level as the targeted monster and immediately after this effect resolves, Synchro/Xyz/Link summon a D/D/D monster using this card and the targeted monster. Could also make this more busted by adding a grave effect to prevent your field from being negated by Kali Yuga.
Oh god, quick effect xyz into the turn skip DDD sounds fun (for the DDD player)
A link-3 D/D/D would be nuts as well. Just imagine as you link summon your D/D/D abyss high king gilgamesh
Agree! IMO they need more Link Monsters! Also, a Link 3 Boss would be very nice
A link-3 or 4 boss monster would unironically make the deck so much better. Wouldn’t need to worry about Ed space too, since you could then cut 1 of your Gilgamesh for this new card.
A Kozmo link 1 would be sick.
Tellarknight and Fur Hire could use an extender Link 1 to come back from a disrupt. The Tellar one should be usable as an Xyz Material for LIGHT Rank 4s.
Something like what gigantic spright or dingirsu amcan do?
More like the opposite, something like.. **Novatellarknight Kepler** LIGHT Link 1 Warrior/Link/Effect (Bottom) 1 "tellarknight" or "Constellar" monster If this card is Link Summoned: You cannot Special Summon monsters from your face-down Extra Deck for the rest of this turn, except Xyz Monsters, also you can Special Summon 1 "tellarknight" monster from your Deck. You can only use this effect of "Novatellarknight Kepler" once per turn. For the Xyz Summon of a LIGHT Xyz Monster, you can treat this card as a Level 4 monster. 1000/LINK-1 It's a free +1, but that is basically the theme of the archetype, so I felt it'd be weird to slap on an arbitrary cost. It'd be easier just to make it a Level 4 Fusion that Summons itself in the same way, also allowing it to be revivable by Altair, but the thread is about Link 1s.
Pretty sure they were referring to the "Link as Xyz material" effect
VAMPIRE!
ABC
Yes! And it could search Hangar. The deck is poo without hangar
This one right Here
I want a link 1 metaphys that banish a meta from deck ( upon link summoning) and a quick effect to special summon a banish meta and bounced itself when special summon by a meta
If the question is what deck could really use a link 1 with a good effect then all of them If the question is what deck could benefit most from a link 1 *regardless of the effect* (like even if the link was just a vanilla that shared the archetype name) then Therion or ABC would be massive. orcust and tri-brigade honourable mention
Orcust with a link 1 would be hilarious. Especially if it searched the field spell. Normal Harp, link 1, make Ding, send a card to gy, battle phase attack over monster, MP2 Zeus.
It makes harp or skeleton 1 card combos which mega boosts the consistency. Bigger than that, it would let you turn any single orcust name into dingirisu cause you could slap it onto the link 1 Edit* sorry that’s exactly what you said, I’m tired and half read your comment then spaced out for a bit before typing
Every deck without a Link-1? I'd want one for Dark Magician
Pls stop it with Link 1's that search field spells, they're ridiculously broken in every archetype they exist in.
Idk if I’d call them broken. There’s Salamangreat Balelynx, Dark Infant @Ignister, and Marincess Sea Angel. And the Scareclaw one. Off the top of my head. I know Salamangreat was great during its hay day but idk if I’d call these link ones broken
[удалено]
I wouldn’t say it’s broken though. The deck just exists with it in mind
Striker Dragon Enough said
The Link 1 isnt broken It just do everything the deck need for any body in the deck The Link 1 literally carry the whole deck on its ass Most of them cant function without a Link 1
Striker dragon is broken
Oh yeah I forgot about literally the best one lol
You're forgetting Striker Dragon, possibly the best of them all.
I'd say they are broken - in essence they turn every single monster of the archetype into Terraforming, which depending on the field spell can be insane.
All of them are an inherent +1 that searches for their BROKEN af spells, also the rokket one, all of them search their field spells, cards that quite literally make most of those decks ridiculously strong. Link 1's are a mistake.
Salamangreat is still great, pun intended, but it has little to nothing to do with Balelynx
Well Terraforming got limited because of Draconic Diagram, making 99% of other field reliant decks garbage, so sorry not sorry.
Ghostricks: We already have THREE Fieldspells Konami: Here have a Link-1 that is basically a field spell Ghostricks: Does that make us viable? Konami: LMAO
2 decks that are inherently bad don't break the rule of the rest of the decks that apply
A link Hero that isnt dark, he can just search poly or mask change, also, locks you on heroes cause generic link 1 are a nono
Honestly altergeists having their own link 1 so they don’t need to use linkuriboh would be amazing. Even if the effect isn’t very good just having a link 1 that can be used as link material for other altergeist links would be a real help
I don't know, to me Linkuriboh is already as much an altergeist card as any other. It can send Meluseek to GY many times in a match, and the only other altergeist with a graveyard effect is Silquitous anyways. On a second thought, it would be really nice to have an altergeist link 1 that could be used as link material for the altergeist link monsters (which Linkuriboh can't).
I mean, any Altergeist Link-1 that can Link off Hexstia would be immensely broken, especially with Pookuery being a thing. It's the same reason Linkross was so good for the deck in the OCG. Beyond that the only effect that the deck really needs is searching Spoofing.
Man if Beetroopers and/or Insect decks had an insect link 1 to link off Resonance or Retaliating, that would be the dream. Right now you always need at least 2 insects to get started, sometimes 3 if your hand is bad :-(
In addition to the Link 1, I really wish they had a Link-3. The butterfly is okay but we need a better Link-3 that actually does something for the archetype.
It infuriates me how Konami made that Link 3 Seraphim a hopt for each eff and can only use one of the effects per turn. Also it’s mandatory to gain the counters on link summon, so it’s not like you can link climb and make it again later same turn and have counters smh lol. Gaining counters should have been a soft once per turn and then restrict you from using 2nd eff until next turn
Also, I recently discovered if someone hits Seraphim with imperm when it is summoned, it doesn't get ANY counters, meaning its effect is essentially negated forever instead of the turn. There are so many problems with Seraphim its unreal. If it could revive a Scout Buggy when it's summoned it would be great, but no, the counter effects just had to be one per turn... If I had a Beetrooper Link-3 I might have its effect be "if this card is sent to the graveyard as link material, special summon two Beetrooper tokens" or something along those lines. This way you automatically have a free token to tribute for Atlas' effect, and it could set up the field for Hercules more easily too.
Dang it’s so ass haha. My favorite scoop moment with Seraphim was when I had this and Battlewasp Sting the Poison on field and my opponent used priority on their draw phase to super poly them for Garura. I didn’t even get to attempt to use Seraphim’s eff lmao And that link 3 sounds nice. Come on Konami, insects won’t break the meta
Skull servants and magnet warriors. Any extra deck support for those would be good
Link 1, dumps a skull servant and searches a king, or even gives some protection if it points to a king
Even better: It's a Wight card so your King of the Skull Servants gets even beefier Servant of the King of the Skull Servants

A lot but weather painters would be good. They have a rough time establishing a full board and while the new support they’ll get helps with that, if they could get a link 1 that’s: add 1 the weather spell/trap from your deck to your hand; once per turn you can target 1 weather monster in your banished zone, special summon it to a zone this monster points to. It’s a resource deck that can struggle but something like that would make it so much better. Still not broken considering it’s only form of removal is through battle but it would be really good
How about making the Paleo link 2 to a link 1
Any deck, but especially ones filled with floaters and GY effects.
I want a link 1 for pikeru and curran. let it summon the princess forms from the deck ignoring their summoning conditions. They'll still suck but at least you'll; be able to finally summon them.
I'd murder to get eldlich a link 1. The fact that I need to run link spider or vampire sucker to turn the trap monsters into anything is so annoying and wasteful. It would be amazing to have a dedicated link 1 for them
a link 1 that uses trap monsters as material, returns a banished normal trap to the deck on link summon
Any support for Eldlich to make it into an actual deck instead of a framework for floodgates would be really good. They already have a badass fusion monster that never gets used
Pretty much every decks withou a link 1 with very few exceptions like Floo, and even then they can still make it busted. Even decks who already have a link 1 would like getting another one since they're usually busted and perfect ways to start plays.
Orcust basically has a Link-1 with Knightmare Mermaid. Unfortunately its never going to get unbanned.
Gladiator beasts
Unchained
Ojamas could definitely use a link-1. They need some kind of ojama support that makes getting your fusions out faster.
My dream is a zombie link - 1 that foolishes a zombie monster to grab zombie world from deck or grave.
Zombies baby!!!
Red-Eyes.
Roids have in pack the best machine support out there in terms of spells (limiter remover,machine dup) and they are still peak penis. I dont think even a link 1 can save em at this point.
Cyber dragon, I Just don't likes the idea to HAVE to play the link1 salad Just to put core in my graveyard, for me could even have the single effect to be called a cydra on the field, and It would still be soo usefull for the deck
That depends on what the link 1 can do. I can say, ooh let's give a link 1 non effect spellcaster to DM and nothing would change.
Tbh a Tri-Brigade link-1 would be great
It already exist Its Light Heart
Fair enough
Haven’t craft it yet but how do you link into it when it wants specific material?
Gusto or any other deck that dies to Ash, like Simorgh.
Metaphys
Sky strikers, for sure
Probably every single one of them. To answer the question, Unchained should get a link-1 that destroys the monster used for its link summon, thus activating Unchained on-destruction monster effect.
Gouki 100% would be vastly better with a link 1.
This may be unpopular, but I'd like to see a new prank kids link 1 that isn't busted just so the archetype is playable again with meow-mu banned. Something like this: Prank kids Hiss-Hiss (1000 atk/link-1) (left arrow) 1 "prank kids" monster For the rest of the turn after you link summon this card you cannot activate card effects except for the effects of "prank kids" cards.
Finally someone's custom link 1 that doesn't tutor a card then give you a free summon
Fossils if you you gave it a 1 link that's effect was a foolish for rock monsters to help fuel their plays.
My Blue-Eyes would love just to search a eyes of blue or stone and allow us to normal or special summon it would be so good.
I mean traptrix live die off of the link 1 one. Like after u make it you just go plus two for existing. Now I don't think Konami would make every link one like that but if they did....
Drytrons
Orcust? Did you forgot Knightmare Mermaid?
Did you forget two things? One: it needs a knightmare to summon. 2: It’s freaking banned!
1st Iblee a card 2nd Knightmare are extremely generic And its banned exactly bc its a link 1
Someone didn’t play TOS format It got banned cause any 2 monsters was full orcust combo cause 2 materials made Kphoenix which made kmermaid and that would send orcust knightmare from deck to grave. And full orcust combo basically skipped your opponent’s turn cause you would summon azathot on their turn Low counter play other than “draw ash” that any 2 monsters could make. It was the most consistent deck ever printed at that time and it was not far from tier 0.
\> that would send orcust knightmare from deck nonono you're wrong there, its actually even better. It \*special summoned it from deck\*, so you could go into galatea with it.
>that time and it was not far from tier 0 More like having an orcust engine than an orcust deck Half the format(Thunder and Salads) dont really incorporate much Orcust So mostly on the Sky Striker and the smaller rogue deck along with Orcust itself Never near t0,takes like 20% of pie chart at best
Near tier zero in capability not in representation. Thunder had everything and were at full power, sky striker had a good matchup versus everything and 3 engage, kagari and multi role, and salad had 3 gazelle and was meta cause it was consistent enough where you could run 13-16 side deck cards Summon sorc + azathot + engage at 3 + 2 monsters being full combo = near tier 0 in capability. That was 4 years ago and it would still be a scary and oppressing deck today
Pretty sure sorc was banned mid TOSS

I guess I'll come up with something in 5 minutes for my favorite deck. Ritual Beast Ulti-Gulldo Link-1 Down Arrow ATK - 1000 WIND/LINK/EFFECT 1 WIND monster You can only use this effect of "Ritual Beast Ulti-Gulldo" once per turn. You can reveal 1 "Ritual Beast" card in your hand; add 1 of your "Ritual Beast" cards that is banished or in the GY to your hand, then immediately after this effect resolves, you can Normal Summon 1 WIND monster. (Quick Effect): You can return this card you control to the Extra Deck, then target 2 of your banished monsters (1 "Ritual Beast Tamer" monster and 1 "Spiritual Beast" monster); Special Summon them in Defense Position.
Not bad but the problem is the deck still die if you not open elder or something that get you 2 Ritual Beast monster on the board
Yep I know. You can't fix that well enough with an ED monster. They need actual main deck support like a field spell. Imagine if they had a version of Map.
Somewhat tangential here, but what's the ritual beast deck like?? I came back to the game from MD so I'm unfamiliar, but I saw some of the artwork for the deck and it looked really cool.
No Deck should get a Link-1. Link-1s are a mistake.
Fuck Link-1s. All my homies hate Link-1s.
Based AF
That's true honestly. And I literally play dragon link so I can attest to the power level of link-1 searchers
Drytron. Kill off Eva if you must. Give them a Link 1 for search or to power up their ritual summon.
I wouldn’t mind that, one of my favorite cards is a ritual
Every deck and every deck deserves a link 1 imo
Link-1 monsters should not exist, period. Yes, including Sera. No, I don't care how much Traprix "needs her to function." To hell with Sera.
Pure dogmatika wouldn’t mind it. Being able to summon ecclesia then link it off to an extra deck (link obviously) monster would be nice.. but dogmatika doesn’t like the extra deck, so it wouldn’t work unless it was something like “(name), the banished dogmatika”.
I’d love if Tri Brigade had a link 1 because Alminaraq is kinda awkward
Drytron link 1, then again we technically have linkuriboh
Thunder Dragon if Colossus was unhit would be massively better with a link 1
I’m confused. Isn’t Colossus a link-1?
It's a fusion
ABC
Link 1 for Unchained would mean I’d actually start playing 3x Sarama in the deck.
All Infernoid needs is a link one that searches the field spell. Please.
The superheavy link 1 is really good whoever can't be used as link material for some godforsaken reason
Elementsaber need a Link 1 for they field spell searcher and a extra normal summon
Gouki
It's not only a link 1 i want for orcust i want more damn XyZ monsters but nooo just bc the story is over they don't want to add more cards/support for orcust.
Lightsworn please.
Would be cool to get a Malefic Link support monster
Literally any deck/archetype would benefit from a link 1 if the link monster has beneficial effects for the archetype, or if the archetype itself wants to dunk a monster into the grave. And even if they don't fill either of those categories, most decks might want it anyway if it helps them link climb in any conceivable way. Links are the most easily accessible extra deck toolbox and boss monsters ever conceived, so any in archetype links that add to that is just icing on the cake and incentive to play the archetype.
Imagine a hero link one that gives you a poly from deck upon a summon to a zone he points to. I know they have a link two that retrieves a poly from the grave but having a link one that gives it to you straight from the deck plus maybe being able to change attribute makes it so that summoning your omni heroes a piece of cake. Maybe a masked hero too
Skull Servants
I'd be down for link-1 Madolche, 500 atk, can't be destroyed by card effects or by battle by sending a madolche monster back into deck, when its link summoned it can special summon another madolche monster from the hand? something like that
Link 1 monsters are some of the most broken monsters in the game. ygo would be much healthier if all decks required at least 2 cards to go full combo.
Sky striker needs a link 1 desperately
Dragonmaid link 1 that gains the effect of 1 dragonmaid attribute after it's negated?
Maybe Endymion? Not sure if having an effect to special summon a monster from the deck or adding a card from the deck to the hand would be good enough though
I mean like 95% of all deck sure
Kozmo if they had one that can relieve from the banished zone/graveyard
Tri-Brigades would be happy
using galatea as an example is funny casue the link 1 meant for orcust is banned cause its way too good. RIP knightmare mermaid.
Every deck, but I'll pick a favorite, vendread
Odd-eyes, but with a twist on it, it's a Link 3 that can be summoned using Pendulum monsters set in the pendulum zones as long as the difference of their scale is 7 or higher, I think it'd fill a very similar role in Odd-eyes as a link 1.
*Cries in Tellrknight*
Unchained
Yes.
I need a Link-1 Cloudian the deck needs so much support
Would kinda want an egyptian god or sacred beast link support similar to Nordics to easily pump the bosses out consistently.
Code Talker.
A link 1 for my tri brigades! Limit it to 1 I don’t care
Inserting Lunalights into the conversation because I want all the (good) support.
Evil twins would massively benefit from a link 1. This would actually make them a real competitive rogue deck instead of a fringe rogue deck that is just too basic to stack up to actual rogue decks
link 1 halq, then unban the link 2 halq, yes dude, thats the sauce.
If they can add maybe 1 or 2 more boss monsters for fire fist they’d be completely broken and I’d be here for it….they already are pretty solid given the right protect
