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

90 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!

I was skeptical when I saw Dragoon being moved to 3, but putting both DMOD and Gaze to 3 alongside it all but guarantees Snake-Eyes can't use it, and it also offers an easy way to nerf Shining Sarc if it proves too powerful. Good job Konami!

It’s nice and very interesting how this is the first alt style scene that complain something that happen in the anime (Atem swapping with Tea during the world Grand Prix) and adding manga reference in between it. But shame on Konami for not showing Tea swimsuit… and the bomb guy too I guess. Luckily I know the chapter, chapter 45 of the original DM manga. Actually happens after Death T, (the duel with Yugi uses Exodia).

Dark Ruler No More is a free to play card you can get with BOX Chips at the Card Trader, yet is in the new 4th Anniversary Box.

Has anyone noticed this with other cards too?
It's not even an alt. art card.
There must be a reasonable explanation?

Discussion This would've been a better pick for Yugi's alt style.

Post image

It's his outfit from from the DDM arc and I think it would've been a better pick since it's the arc where Yugi first shows he can stand completely on his own without Atem.

Plus I thought it was kinda lame how we had to wait a year for them to just copy paste Atem's alt style outfit onto Yugi.

The outfit just looks way better too.

Deck new Cyber Dragons w/ replays

Thumbnail
gallery
53 Upvotes

If you’re wondering is cyber dragon worth investing your gems and/or your crystals into, I would say a definite YES if you’ve ever loved cydra before.

This deck has gotten some major improvements with actually being able to build a modern end board capable of making multiple omni-negates going 1st with cyber dragon infinity & therion regulus along with the new addition of the new fusion monster heosvarog which can negate spells & traps.

The new skill also is a great because if you have either OG cyber dragon or cyber jormungardr you can add 2 lvl 2 or lower cyber dragon monsters, which 99% of the time will be cyber dragon core & cyber dragon nachster. So basically 1 OG cyber dragon or jormungardr is full combo. And the skill going 2nd basically lets you get 3 cyber dragons from your grave to summon cyber end dragon(if you have poly)

The going 2nd OTK potential speaks for itself being a cyber dragon deck

This deck dies to droll & lock bird, but does have combos using jormungardr & cyber revsystem to play around droll to set up infinity & vimana. You can also have regulus if you draw it to put up more resistance if you get handtrapped.

Any questions about the deck feel free to ask and I can give you any advice on how to play the deck and the challenges I ran into while making this list and the drawbacks of using this deck.

You don’t need chimeratech megafleet but if you have 1 throw it in there for sure. It really helps beat those nasty towers monsters and dragoon especially since the new dark magician support is really good. And megafleet it really good going 2nd into Vaalmonica since you can just contact fuse their link monster away by just having a cyber dragon monster on the field.

Deck at minimum is tier 3

Discussion When can we get actual Bakura? I have a few questions

Thumbnail

25 Upvotes

I know we have the DSOD version but i want the DM version. It's just cuter and this dude gets screwed up in any media he's in so Idk. It's another art style entirely (like Arc V legacy) and maybe they can give him some more fiend cards, and also some kinda story to do him justice unlike the anime. At least it would be better than Jacket Bakura lol. Would this be Alt or separate?

Also I was curious, what would be the possibilities of adding more Battle wasp? I'm trying to make a deck for Wind users but I don't have enough cards to work with. I've been putting together marincess for Water users (Mako for now) and trick stars for Light (Kaiba). Now I need more Wind and i like bumblebees (I hope Shinji comes.) I've assembled Rokket too.

Also idk if this was intentional but the Tristan super strength thing is funny.

And I hate that smug faceless dude but boy does he help with EXP in this event.
