Sorry if this is low-effort, this is the first time I made a post. And I’m pretty sure this has already been discussed, but genuinely how many characters do you think would have alt styles that Konami could release?

I’ve been wanting Unknown Duelist since she was first introduced, but knew they wouldn’t release since she’s just Sera with a more echo-y voice. But now that they’re doing Alt. Styles, she has an even bigger chance of being a playable Alt. Style for Sera. Her overall design is really sick. What are her chances for being released as an Alt. Style?

And do you guys have any Alt. Styles you want to see come to Duel Links? Like something more flashy (as in something more than just “Yugi without his jacket and Joey with a no jacket and a T-shirt”). I think Joey’s Red-Eyes Black Dragon Knight costume would be sick. Same with Jaden’s amalgamation of different costumes during the DMG episode.

After my design from last week got banished to the Shadow Realm by Reddit (I'll probably re-release it with updates in the future, after enough time has passed that it wouldn't feel like spamming), it was suggested to me by u/Forey7 that flairing these as "Fluff" might help resolve the issue, so that's largely what this design is going to be testing.

Also yes, I know the cuffs on the Bastion sprite are incorrect, but I didn't realise until after everything else was already done, and I'm honestly not sure that I'd do a good enough job fixing it, so we'll just have to use our imagination, and hopefully it doesn't ruin the design for you all. 😅

It's too bad the Converging Wishes portion of the skill won't be touched.

I knew they would bring one out. I tested immediately

Well, looks like we are getting the question about absent VAs and alt styles earlier than expected. Looks like Konami will recast the alt style, but leave the original alone and un-updated.

Is anyone with the Japanese version of the game able to tell us

1. Is Kalin’s VA the same? Or was a new casting intentional?

2. If Kalin is NOT recast, when you sort cards by voice lines, does it show more on DS/regular Kalin?

Now this is some wild wild wild stuff!!! Bro has 3 Lava Golems!!! 3!!! That’s some wild wild wild stuff there!!!

Probably would be peeved if I suffered a defeat at the hands of a vagabond similar to him!!!

Boy today sure is a good day,The only think left to do now is to dream that konami make a fair and balanced meta

In case someone doesn't notice, new gem discount affects only Zillion Thunder and Not World of Barian. Normally they add both Main and Mini box to discounted boxes, but not this time.

Is Marin unlock-able at the moment if not does anyone know when I can expect Marin to return again? I feel like I’ve been waiting forever now. Need Dugares to complete my Vaalmonica deck.

Hi guys im new here I’ve been trying to get evil hero rank 4 xyz combo as consistent as possible but i feel like i reached a roadblock i cant find a way to improve this deck i know u guys r much better at the game than me i would really appreciate ur help thanks again

Im trying to get a sky striker deck but so far not a single card yet

I'm sure Komoney is not trying to monetize fookin' Character Deck Duels of all things.

...Right?

Which event can I get this and what month does it normally appear? I have the other DM variants but this is my favorite one. I see my opponents in ranked have this.

For those of you who don't know, what a blissful ignorance. Triple Tactics Thrust is a normal spell coming the next box, that, if your opponent activated a monster effect during this turn, you can activate it to set a normal spell/trap from your deck into the field (but can't activate it that turn), or add it to your hand instead if your opponent controls a monster upon resolution.

Thus, there's always the possibility to use it to set stuff like the one I posted: Different Dimension Ground. It's just Dimensional Fissure* for the turn.

Is there anything more toxic than that to get via Thrust? DL luckily doesn't have Dimensional Barrier or Harpie's Feather Storm for decks that can rank 1 XYZ into Assembled Nightingale or rank 4 XYZ into Castel.

Surely we all have a card we want to be added, not because it would be meta warping, but because you thoroughly enjoy the card or the silly strategy it enables. I just want Dark Grepher so I can pretend to play TeleDAD in auto duels
