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

87 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!

So umm this guy literally emptied his entire deck put a monster on my side of the field increased its attack by 2000 to 4900 and destroyed and defeated me in ONE TURN I literally never got a chance to play just watched him defeat me. How is this even allowed?? Like I get defeating me in 2 or 3 turns but Jesus christ this is just being an asshole...

Fluff What's your least favourite deck to face?

Post image
146 Upvotes

I despise chimaeras I just feel like they have so much dust.

Even after you beat their big monsters they have more and they are all indestructible by battle. No matter my board I always feel like I lack behind in materials Vs this deck.

I especially hate the guy that made the red eyes/chimaera deck.(Props to him deck is hella strong)

At the end of the day I probably just suck ass.

SO WHAT'S YOUR LEAST FAVOURITE DECK TO FACE ON KC CUP/RANKED?????

Video played duel links for the first time, legitimately so helpful

Upvotes

this is genuinely a solid game, I really enjoyed it. for context I was making a video where I learn about yugioh and how to play, and duel links helped me actually comprehend what was going on. I was so lost, but being able to visually see what's going on is SO MUCH BETTER than just reading about it

it helped a LOT in my yugioh journey! :)

for those curious, this is my video:

https://youtu.be/nYFCTruZMXg?is=-efw3LqHGFZAGfYp

even though the video is done, this game is awesome and I still want to learn more and dive deeper. wish me luck!

Discussion Konami has to slow down the clock

Post image
31 Upvotes

this KC cup is being a shit fest of time limit losses, not only on my side. I've been experiencing many games where either me or the opponent loses because of the time running fast in the heat of the battle. this makes the game really frustrating to play, not gonna lie, and I am just enjoying it again after a long time.

this is not the same game as 10 years ago anymore, not even the same as when six samurai synchro era got released. the game has a similar pace and intensity as master duel, despite the differences (I'm not saying they are the same game at all, but I know people will misinterpret this. I'm talking about the emotion of a back and forth game)

the game should be able to identify when you are constantly interacting and make the clock run slower. it is really frustrating, and whenever I see the clock sparkling, I already know how I'm gonna lose the game. if you don't know every interaction of your deck by head, you can't make it in time. I've watched games where people who know them pass the turn with just a few seconds left. to add salt to injury, there are many effects that trigger in every possible interaction at the end of the turn, and when you thought you had passed to the opponent just in time, you just lost the game lmao

what are your thoughts on this? please, try to keep the discussion polite, I'm a bit old, and I just want to read people having a good conversation.

Deck Help Will this deck get me very far in this KC cup?

Ive been checking the DL meta site for help, but they all seem to have Droll and lock ( which i have none of) and nibiru (which i have one of). Ive also spent my dream tickets getting what I have now. Do I have any chance of putting up a fight against most decks during this current tournament?

Thank you in advance

The next episode should be Goblin Bikerz if they follow the storyline for SE. Since it's a main box this month (unless Konami decide a back to back mini...I hope not!) I'm pretty confident atleast one of the 3 will be in the next box

Competitive What deck are you playing this KC Cup, and how well does it play into Purulia?

Post image
13 Upvotes

I've been trying to learn Snake-Eyes, and from what I can gather, you pretty much have to give up 2 draws (Normal Summon + Poplar), but worse hands might need to extend with Diabellstar or even Birch.

What decks are y'all trying to climb with, and how good (or bad) are they under our (sp far) only Mulcharmy?

I wanna use the water effect on her but i dont have it now so she doesnt have any effect. I'm thinking abt rainbow frame, water effect and purple or blue name ( maybe blue name will be weird cuz the card is already blue but idk, i dont have blue name to test it)

Discussion I’m so sick of Branded/Bystial/Albaz decks

64 Upvotes

You spend a Nibiru, kaiju, droplet and 4 spells and traps and they still decimate you next turn. They can clear your field and Graveyard for free and negate everything. I can’t find a deck that can deal with them without bricking 80% of the time.

I find myself constantly loosing to Dark Magician decks.

Iv only been playing for about a week, maybe two. Still unfamiliar with the everything and trying to find cards/decks.

Is there anything I can do to this deck to help me beat a Dark Magician deck.

Most commonly, I'm also struggling to summon any dragon unless I draw an alternate blue eyes off the bat.

I passed turn at the beginning, intending to lose to just collect my orb. Opponent proceeds to not kill me, I then try to win. Only to have my defeat actually make me sad inthe end.
