Discussion [Feedback] EVERYONE GET IN HERE! Subreddit Update Megathread

89 Upvotes

Hello, fellow Master Duel rejectors! Your community Moderators (or what's left of us) have come with good news: we're gonna update the Subreddit this weekend! Beyond just doing a few visual and information-related tweaks here and there, we also need to revisit the current community rules and modify them as needed. This is where you come in... you's gonna help us.

We'd like you to provide suggestions on what rules seem overly restrictive, what rules need to be enforced more often, or if something needs to be added or removed entirely. With that being said, I'll be here to either agree with your proposition or debate you out of it. We're going to take all feedback seriously, but we're not going to just roll over and remove necessary rules, such as Rule 2-A (the one that prevents people from posting things unrelated to Duel Links, such as the latest episode of Spy Family or posts about politics) just because someone leaves an upvoted comment wanting it gone. Be reasonable in your suggestions, please.

Speaking of rules, there will be Mod recruitments coming up soon to help manage the Subreddit, but that'll be part of a separate post.

Finally, if there are any changes you want done to the Subreddit's appearance or functionality itself, feel free to drop them here. While we can't guarantee we can implement it (e.g., some Subreddits have AI agents that respond to certain posts with customized messages assisting that specific user, and that's a tall order to set up on Duel Links), it doesn't hurt to ask!

Begin!

Whether it be a real card in a box set or as a skill specific card kinda like Barrone De Fleur.

Fluff Character Duels working as intended...

Post image
6 Upvotes

So I start up a game, I can't see my own cards, my turn plays itself (using Jaden's deck) and on the opponent's turn I get to draw and then the game freezes.

Incidentally, the replay has Kite (with some random Japanese name) as the winner via Time Limit.

Discussion Are there any decks since you started playing the game that you were disappointed that it flopped or didn’t leave a meta impact?

10 Upvotes

There are many decks that manage to get a great amount of spotlight compared to the tcg/ocg. Like for example S-Force back in Vrain era, but then there deck/support that flop that you really looked forward to it working in duel links format. For example for me Dragon maids when they first came out. I truly wanted to see players that the deck can be played pure and be meta… but it flopped even with it own dedicated skill.

Duel Replay Consistent exodia ftk

78 Upvotes

I was trying the exodia Horus ftk on my 2nd account and it's consistent I'm not denying that. But as I expected it's like every other exodia deck. Going 1st It loses to any interruption and 1 is enough. And going 2nd it's 100% lost. But hey it is fun to use it on low level rank and pve boring events.

And here is the deck list I use if anyone interested

Deck KOG w/ Dragonmaids

Thumbnail

38 Upvotes

I finally got to KOG for the first time with a ten game winstreak. Ideal first turn would be to get out sheou, filia regis, and seals to interrupt your opponents combo and then get tidying into the graveyard for survivability. Seals also gives your some extra defense into lava golem/sphere mode/kaijus. As long as you survive first turn, you can clean most boards with Khaos Starsource into typhon.

I found horus to be a hard matchup initially so I tried adding cosmic cyclone. Very underrated in this meta imo. It can completely shut down horus and shining sarc. It's helpful into a lot of the other meta decks too.

I was having a lot of trouble with bricking even with precious so I tried to trim it down to just the dragonmaid engine plus the necessary staples.

Heres the Exodia deck I used in PvP when I won its not really the best deck as I don't have the essentials like Trade In or Into the Void but I gathered every draw effect monster/spell/trap that I could and after a few tries I managed to get lucky this once lol

It's kinda unfair how old decks like BM and Hero are receiving their new cards in DL except for my blue-eyed chicken. Maidenless (No maiden), no link, nothing so far. It's kinda hard to compete, although I've reached KOG yet again last week, I'm looking for tips/suggestions/feedback on how to improve the deck. Ty

Idk why most people don’t run Dark Paladin, it’s amazing and shuts down stuff like Horus or Heroes (which the ladder is full of)

Having 3 Timaeus would be best because it helps you get around Droll, but I’m not digging through that box again just for one card lol. The best starting hand would be Curtain and/or Timaeus

Usually the end-board at least has Dragoon, Masq (which you can replace with Little Knight), Circle and Eternal Soul, and some combination of Photon Lord, Dragon Knight and/or Paladin, as well as Combination if you think you can afford having less discards for Paladin and you have Dragon Knight on the field

KOGing is still annoying, I lost my KOG rank up a couple of times (one time because a Horus player literally had Nibiru, Droll, Photon Jumper AND Golem in their hand) but honestly Horus aside it really wasn’t as bad as it’s been for a while. I went from Plat 1 to Legend 5 pretty easily, only having to do the run 3 times in total to get to KOG. I’m really enjoying this format and I generally have fun playing against most decks

With the ongoing increase of alt styles in the game, how would everyone feel about a Berserk Yuya alt style? The character sprite was already shown in the past Arc-V Chronicles event, so there's that.
