What are your thoughts on the Meta on the ladder?

Since the banlist has yet to take effect (October 10th) we're seeing in the ladder a mix of new decks and tournament illegal decks. What are your thoughts on that? Did the banlist nerfed too many decks? Those nerfs weren't enough? Did it even change anything, meta wise?

Discuss...

Ofc we're talking SPEED. RUSH is healing from tier 0 Wyrms, but also suffering cos of Ether Dragon...

[Fluff] Shadow Duels: a fan-made game you can play in your browser

Hey everyone! I’m a Duel Links fan, and I’ve been working on a little fan project called Shadow Duels. It started as something to play with my friends, inspired by the early days of Duel Links, with the original characters and a smaller card pool.

You can collect cards, build decks, level up characters, and duel against bots or other players, all in your browser. It’s still a work in progress, so there are things to improve and probably bugs we haven’t caught yet. We’ve been having fun with it, and I thought some people here might enjoy trying it too.

If you try it, let me know how it goes!

Live Twin with DMC Package

DMC does so much for this deck, its essentially an extender for link plays AND a boss monster in 1 card. 3 DMC and one dark magician make it so you don't need to run DM of destruction. This deck has been doing really well the only issue is having to cut down to just 1 each of Evil twins in the extra. Live twins would REALLY benefit from a skill that puts a few copies of the twins in the extra.

Zane event will be soon, who do you hope to see interact with Zane?

We know the next event is Zane, this Zane will be based off of Season 1 design wise so maybe we might see duel link hijinks happen and his mindset change back (they won’t do season 4 or acknowledge it cause they both respect Zane and are cowards). So who do you want to see interaction with when it comes to Zane. Me personally I wanna see Blair reaction to this Zane being back, will she look past the edgy days or truly show she grown passed him.

How does everyone feel abt the state of the game?

I just came back after like maybe a year long break cause i just found the game boring at the time. The new meta is def diverse but also feels kinda awful cause it’s ran by handtraps or who goes second with a better skill. Im having fun but it also just feels frustrating seeing the skill problem just gets worse and worse every year. Combine that with now they are adding handtraps so u get the consistency of skills adding every card u need plus having multiple hand traps to stop the opponent

Reached KOG with memento

Gotta say this deck is strong as fck. So many interruptions and so many plays during your turn and your opp turn to the point of they can nib you during THEIR TURN it's crazy. And it has many versions like the dragoon package one, the xyz version where you can play either Assembled Nightingale to guarantee surviving a turn or Abyss Dweller to negate gy effect (which is one way to counter this deck) and the hand rid Off chimera version which I personally choosed. It's a hard deck to play where it has so many one card combo and so many different play style to the point of you lose due to the timer. Even tho it is hard it's still a top tier FUN and f2p deck. You don't need the selection box cards to play you can replace them with other cards. And you don't need 3 copy of angwitch 2 or 1 is enough but play more copy of dark blade to balance it out. 3 horse is kinda a must and 1 copy of every other memento is enough. I don't play the traps. They relay on 5k guy and most of time your opp gonna get rid off him so they are a bricks. But max out the quick spells cause they are broken. Overall it's a really cool deck and I recommend playing it.

Beginner Speed Duel Guide - Mementotlan Deck For Oct. 2026

Ladies & Gentleman,

The New Box “Destruction Geas” has been released featuring several different cards.

Out of all the different cards, I have found the Memetotlan cards to be the most Beginner & Budget Friendly. As a Beginner, New Player, or Returning Veteran to the Game, I encourage you to consider investing in this remarkable opportunity!

I have created a very inexpensive Deck which I estimate to be around 2.5k to 5k Gems!

It took me 3k Gems to make this Memetotlan Deck, but I did get Lucky on some of my Pulls. If your Unlucky, It might take you close to 8k Gems.

However, The Average Person is going to be some where in the Middle (4k Gem Range). All the cards come from 1 Box and you can usually make this Deck with only Half the Box.

I have added 8 Cards from Outside the Box to complete the Deck which are:

- 2x Kaiju -> You can get them from Regular SR Tickets (NOT Dream SR Tickets) Save the Dream!

- 2x Kiteroid -> You can get them from Card Trader (Regular Inventory)

- 2x Forbidden Droplet -> You can get them from Dream UR Tickets (Only Tough Card to Get)

- 2x Gaia (Extra Deck) -> You can get them from Card Trader (Regular Inventory)

Keep in mind, Gaia is a Free 2 Play Link Monster -> You can use others, but I am using Gaia because if you’re New to the Game. You might not have any of the other Powerful Extra Deck Monsters. A lot of the better Extra Deck Monsters come from different Boxes which you might not be able to get as New Player so I am adding stuff which you can get!

In addition, New Players start off with Limited Extra Deck Space. I think you are only allowed 6 Beginning Extra Deck Slots. I am able to have 9 because I unlocked the Extra Spaces. I left the 3 Extra Deck Spaces Blank to pretend I am New!

——————

Let’s Take Stock!

- I have explained the estimated Gem Cost of this Deck.

- I have explained how you can Obtain the Cards in this Deck.

- I have explained how the Deck has been built with Similar Restriction you might have.

So the question is what do we do? Well, I am going to show you what to do!

All the cards in this Deck have walls of text! It can be very overwhelming & intimidating to play a Deck like this because of all the different effects & plays this deck can do!

However, I want to keep this Memetotlan Deck very Simple!

You don’t need to know 20 different plays to win a game! You only need to know 1 play!

- Our 1 Play is very simple!

- We will bring out a 5,000 Attack Monster

- Then use that Mighty Monster to Bash our opponents 4,000 Life Points to 0

- We win! -> So Amazing we are!

When you think about the situation in the above manner, You can see how Easy it is!

You can do this! It’s a piece of cake.

——————

Let’s Go Over our 1 Winning Play!

It all begins with ANGWITCH!

24 Cards in the Main Deck -> Angwitch is how we want to Start every Game!

I know what you’re thinking!

How on Earth can we Start with Angwitch every Game if we only have 1 Angwitch in the Deck?

I created 7 different ways to get Angwitch!

- 3x Dark Blade -> He can kill himself to get us Angwitch

- 2x Bone Party -> It can kill off a random monster to get us Angwitch

- 1x Skill: Precious Cards of Dark -> It can Shuffle Cards in our Hand to get us Angwitch

- 1x Angwitch -> We could draw her at Start of Game

On the surface, It seems we only have 1 Angwitch, but all the other cards I mentioned only purpose is to get us Angwitch!

SO WE START WITH ANGWITCH!

- Angwitch -> Gets us Tatsunootoshiro (Horse)

- Tatsunootoshiro can Special Summon himself out + Destroy himself!

- We Send Ghattic, Goblin, & Mace to Graveyard

- Ghattic (Looks like Kuriboh) Special Summons himself out

- We add the Goblin to our Hand

- We use Angwitch to kill Ghattic -> Bring out Mace from Graveyard

- We use Mace to kill herself + get us Fusion Special Spell

- We Fuse to get Creation King

- We use Creation King to send our 5k Monster + 2 other Memoto Monsters to Grave

- Try to send different Memetotlan Monsters with different names to Grave

- The Creation King has the Power which I call an EYE for an EYE!

(1 of ours killed for 1 of theirs) or (2 for 2) or (3 for 3) etc.

- The Creation King can be a Board Killer/Wiper.

Be very careful if you use Creation King active ability!

- Then we Special Summon our 5k Monster from Grave to Field to Win the Game!

Flawless Victory!

It’s 10 Simple Steps. I feel even a New Player can do this.

And that is all! I hope everyone can experience the same joy & fun I have had with the Memetotlan Deck. They are a very unique deck which bring a destructive attitude to the game. It can be funny watching them blow up themselves and opponent Monsters.

Should I not run King of the swamp since it keeps losing me games?

This is for auto duel, btw.

Why does the body need 50 characters when 0 is okay?

u/Pete972 — 7 days ago

Gamemat Zorc unlocked!

Contrary to what I imagined, the gamemat didn't require a Ritual Summon to unlock it, only a Level 8+ Demon-Type.

So you can do it via Pendulum Summon!

Should i try to get the last fuwalos from the box as a f2p?

I don't want any deck from the last box, so i don't know what to do ... Should i try to get the last fuwalos from the box or use a dream ticket later ?

What do you guys like more? (I was thinking about glitch effect lvl 3 on the card that says draw 2 banish 1 dark)

u/RubinettoDiPingu — 8 days ago

I just wanna protect the little guy

I get sad every time I look at or think about Bonz. He was just a little guy in the wrong place, at the wrong time. If I could change the fate of a single character in Yugioh, it'd be him, my little son.

Ancient Gear Rush Duel Release Prediction?

We've had Ancient Gear Golem for a while now, and the actual archetype IRL has been out for about 2 years now. I was wondering if you guys think we'll ever get them in the game? I know they stay a little behind on releases compared to IRL, but man, I've got 9000 gems just waiting to spend to play with them.
