GET READY FOR THE RUSH! - Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel Day 1 Decks & Breakdown

[@KingFlex73]

i'm jumping up and down like a small critter receiving their daily meal but instead its rush duel content

[@shaquilleeurope2600]

Too true, too true. At least they finally gave us Westerners a way to play it (officially).

[@shaquilleeurope2600]

(That isnt the switch game.)

[@nyanbrox5418]

​@shaquilleeurope2600 I thought I hated rush duels, then it came to duel links, now I like it

[@BossKRool]

I’ve really taken to Diabolic Beetle as a deck. Loading up on goofy level 1s like Mokey Mokey but milling with Beetle and Dragias and buffing up a big boy is super rewarding

[@taphy4873]

Diabolic king bussy

[@HunterX57]

Diabolical buff on sevens magician with pierce should be illegal

[@GiantSkyhawk]

It's incredible that the stall deck's character is named Gavin. "Are you playing bullshit?" is immortal

[@christopherb501]

"Gakuto" in the original.

[@mobron3099]

I literally thought he was talking about his friend Gavin until I read the comments lmao

[@GrandHarrier]

A shoutout to psychics for being one of the more fun decks to play even if not the best. Also, delighted we got you to say "Beetdown", mission successful.

[@christopherb501]

Wonder what you'll make of Omega Psychics.

[@farisdanial1030]

Psychics is also another deck that can counter Yamiruler besides the sevens road combo that does not require lot resources.

[@JadeHex]

I want to apologize for early DLM categorization of aggro, we had a few crossed lines on what would be "enough" cards to have a coherent theme (but then we had "Aggro" being the most represented deck which wasn't intended). We basically settled on decks with Dragias, Mystic Dealer and Witch (and/or a couple objectively bad cards that are included because they are pitch-able with dealer like Cat and Spell Archer) to be categorized as "Dragoncaster" even tho it isn't exactly as it was in Rush Duels.

[@duyknguyen]

I love the Rush Duel LEGEND ruling with 1 card per type of choice such as between Mirror force and Magic Cylinder, which is how they spark in deck building later on. Rush Duel is for casual players who like beatdown style but still maintain the Combo-ish introduction to Modern, a new hand draw of 5 to comeback is pretty great actually, we can wait for a larger cardpool fun like time wizard. They are Konami's new flagship in Japan for a reason 😂

[@vo1ce147]

Man the only problem is the first pack lacks spell that refills the deck constantly like spell recover typing for dragon ECT ECT, I hope Konami realize this and gives us the second booster sooner that containing power spell for refills the deck

[@goozilla123]

Man, im still mad that we still dont have physical rush duel. I hope if this draws enough attention they'll print physical sets

[@Billy_Wyatt]

Yeah because Speed Duels is getting stale...on the other hand, Rush Duels will definitely bring new something to the table with its own uniqueness of its gameplay.

[@turtlesfan44]

Yes it’s a crying shame that we’ve had the show for what like almost a year or two and still don’t have any of the physical cards

[@Deadlad69]

Dude the cards are so beautiful! I really hope they give it to us!

[@level3xfactor]

It’s so nice to finally hear a Yugituber who understands Rush Duel

[@tommyboy4543]

the Stun Deck being a Gavin deck is probably the funniest coincidence ever

[@Groundlord]

Psychics are also pretty damn strong right now, though I think their Climax Beat skill is a big part of that. Seriously, in a format where Deck searching is practically nonexistent, being able to set one of two strong Spell cards from your GY or Deck *every turn* is not to be underestimated.

[@shasan2393]

Also psychic have a very strong searcher in Romanpick. Mill 3, and add one of those to hand, if its psychic. But only 1 copy of that card obtainable

[@taysandean]

Good point

[@CarbonMalite]

Rush Duel in DL right now feels like OG Yugioh if you cut out the fat of only being able to summon once or twice and slowly chipping away for 8000 damage.

[@a.r2935]

I'm so excited that people are finally going to be introduced to Rush Duel. Hopefully people spending money on Duel Links means Konami will finally print Rush Duels for TCG! (Also Dire why the heck did you use the popsicle artwork for Dragias you're doing the poor guy dirty)

[@LynnLyns]

Well, in an interview they said that the destiny of Rush Duels outside Asia depends on how well received is on Duel Links

Really looking forward to Shadow Flowers and Sushi Angels as a strategy. I remember seeing the cards getting revealed waaaay back when and being disappointed I wouldn't get the opportunity to play with such a unique archetype. Now I finally have a chance to play with them!

[@Billy_Wyatt]

Rush Duel has brought life to Duel Links and make it feel like it was 2017 all over again. A breath of fresh air considering how tiresome Master Duel can be sometimes.

[@LynnLyns]

I'm building my Psychic beatdown deck for Robin Ngl, i just wanted to play Rush bc of this archetype, i'm a lover of pay lp decks like PUNK, Dinomorphia or Gold Pride and this deck fits my taste

[@andrewplayz443]

Yeah I’m playing that too! It’s a lot of fun, I just need to work with deck building/get more copies of prima guitarna

[@Raminator243]

I’m honestly shocked by how limited the cardpool is right now. There are only TWO playable trap cards right now, and one of them is exclusive to Psychic decks. This format will be cool when we get more cards.

[@kauanjos3199]

Not to mention we only have like 3 good spell cards as well, and one of them is a book of moon with the cost of discarding 2 cards

[@alessandrod12]

Ive been dying to receive some Rush Duel content here in the west and Im jumping from joy that you are covering it and hopefully making more Rush Duel centered content!

[@RedRune9]

Came back to Duel Links exclusively for Rush Duel and having a nice time with it! Still dislike the monetization of the game itself, but I won't fault Rush Duel for the sins of its forefathers, and am enjoying it at a relaxed pace as I grind out the gems for a F2P deck to climb with. Edit: Also sad at no mentions of any Psychic lists at the shoutouts on the ending :(

[@neonoah3353]

Yeah, feels even worse since konami does no event during a world release, so theres a gems drought. While ppl that saved for this were able to build decks super fast. Rn, im playing a f2p deck using sevens road accel skill. 1x sevens magi 2x accel wonder 2x tornas 1x dm A bunch of spellcasters and dif atributes monsters with less than 1400 atk. 1x piercing 2-3x recovery force.

[@MagiRemmie]

Spoilers: TCGs are gachas.

[@raghugba863]

I'm not defending Duel Links, because its gacha is apparently awful. However, when you think about it: what is pulling sets from trading card games if not real life gacha? Hell, some gacha games even shape their gacha items and characters as cards because of that

[@neonoah3353]

Yugioh is, was, and will always be gacha.

[@MagiRemmie]

@@raghugba863 Duel Links is only "awful" because you don't gain gems fast enough to buy an entire box more than once at a reasonable pace with how quick they release new cards. Then, in speed duels, there are cards you can ONLY obtain with real money *reasonably*. So far, Rush doesn't have this issue but it is only the base set.

[@cryomancer2768]

this is my introduction to rush duels and im having a spooky blast!

[@flogos989]

Rush has been good, and will only become better Its only weakness is the DL extortion

[@neonoah3353]

The problem is how systematic konami is, when a world releases, we stay without an event for a whole week, which means no good way to get gems for a whole week. While ppl who saved gems and had 12k+ were able to get 3 full sets of the box without any worries.

[@grizzlybearington7862]

Managed to reach KOG rank yesterday using Sevens Accel Road and it was NOT an easy fight with multitudes of aggro decks. Phantom bind is more often than not just a dead card in the field. Even when facing against themed decks (Dragias or Spellcasters as well), it is very easy to destroy their board when you attack them with large beatsticks.

[@FakeHeroFang]

Psychics have a trap that boosts them by 500 attack, but Sevens Road can pump its attack to 3k+ so easily. Sometimes it feels like the trap doesn't even matter, I could have have just played red medicine and done pretty much the exact same thing.

[@grizzlybearington7862]

@@FakeHeroFang Not to mention the fact that Psychic decks are gimped by only having 1 copy of Romanpick and the existence of the aggro deck. They won't mind the low LP count much if they had their other supports.

as a person whose been playing rush since its inception, im very curious on how fast theyre going to powercreep the dl ver (which is not a bad thing since current rush is VERY fun). Mainly bc a lot of the theme “remakes” that theyve been doing for rush only started recently and require the game to be like years ahead of what its currently at.

[@NPCPlayerOne]

Immediately upon seeing it, I fell in love with yamiruler. Even in the new game, I can't help but play with the floodgates. What's wrong with me?

[@Ahloveyafuhso]

Gakuto wouldn't mind that one bit.. but I think it has to do more with your mind set.

[@-nn-3886]

This is like what I wanted to play. A Fast game that revolves primarily in resources management and combos Is like D&D in that way. It feels like play a new old Yu-Gi-Oh

[@Omojuze41]

The dragon skill also boosts up your targets' levels by 4 which you didn't mention, meaning that you can get over the Sportsdragon level locks that way. Also, Sevens Road Accel is absolutely the second best deck in the game. Split makes itself into a 2600 ATK beater, so it can run over pretty much anything, it literally does not care about the Yamiruler lock because Witch Specials, not Tributes, you basically always have access to SRM so you can always crack back on the draw, and Torna basically guarantees your opponent can't stall you out with defense position fodder.

[@TrevorAllenMD]

Honestly they could just throw Duel Links away and have Rush. Rush is now the #1 pull to DL which was very dying, and unfortunately Konami kept the money hungry difficult to grind game design that was DL, something not present in MD not needing to exist in what could have been a Rush Duel app.

[@TrisFireblood]

I've been having a lot of fun with the Draconic Resonance deck and the Diabolic Beetle Beatdown, but one of my favorite decks so far is Romin's Psychic deck. Admittedly, I'm a fan of "Lifepoints are a resource" decks like Aroma, so I might be biased, but there's something great about double Prima and Psychic Drive buffing a Folder Blitz to bowl over any setup

[@eldenthugshaker]

Maybe I should get into Rush Duel. Just this weekend I got an entire set of the Gold Rush rare cards. They're absolutely gorgeous.

[@RainbowStaple]

I'm absolutely loving Rush Duel, my favourite deck so far is the Explosion Drive deck, I really hope they bring this to the western audience.

[@lordvaust5830]

Already been Rush Dueling for days. I commented this before but Rush Duels are the solution to Yugioh as a card game.

[@cherrycreamsoda4253]

One thing I love about rush duel is that losses never feel unfair. It always feels to me that a loss in rush duel isn’t bc someone set up 10 negates and interactions, it feels more like someone was able to plainly play better than you and outpace you, in turn making it seem more fair

[@ItsPForPea]

Or sometimes you just bricked But that's just yugioh

[@S6Photon]

Honestly will probably get back into Duel Links after years, exclusively for Rush Duels.

[@Kentanimationnnnnnnnn]

[@starpower1598]

I was hoping you''d talk about Romin with psychcics. Prima Guitarna can let you hit for massive damage even with low level monsters, and has more playable spells and traps than any other deck. Not only that, but two of her skills, Psychic Drive and Climax Beat are reusable, giving attack boosts or spells that help with getting over the opponent's big monsters.

[@residentgrey]

Prima Guitarna makes any other card better.

The Curse of Dark Dragon deck is also quite strong and competitive, it plays the lowest to the ground game of any deck, looking for maximum playability of cards in hand, putting out consistent one tribute monsters that only Dragias interacts well with, and using the skill to convert the 5 star dark dragons into consistent pressure that can out big guys - and gets to play Dragonic Pressure on top of that.

[@nathannia]

great video thanks mbt I hope u check the game in some months when the format have someway developed

[@skellingtron817]

Just gonna bring up accel wonder splat plus the skill sevens accel road outs most monsters as it becomes a 2600 atk beat stick. If you use a different spell caster your looking at a 2400 torna or if you run ansler it becomes a 2800 atk for the turn it’s summoned. I know mbt brings it up at the end but I thought I should give a bit of a explanation as to why the deck exists.

[@phoenixeye4610]

Mind that for the dragonic resonance skill to work you need an earth effect dragon. Triad drago is the only non-tribute card that meets that condition. Also because the skill randomly increases the targets level by 4, triad drago and dragonic slayer become Much easier to activate and the restriction from the sport dragons matters much less

[@itsme-np4dp]

I like how rush duel is just how me and my brother played when we were five

[@blueiblis250]

Yamiruler the dark delayer is on the limited 3 for a reason. If you just toss him onto the board often and use his effect, your opponent will literally never be able to beat him. Combo that with the bond bow(or whatever it is that change the battle position of a level 7 or higher warrior) and you can attack while clearing monsters. Toss in pierceing effects and well...yeeaaaaahhh.

Currently what I'm using is what I dubbed "Shadow wizard £ gang" which is pretty much dark magician spellcasters. Dark magic attack is pretty much the only large scale ST wipe but the issue is that DM matches dragias in stats so it's kinda outclassed and there's not that many good backrow. Although the ones that are being used are battle tricks so there's that at least.

[@-nn-3886]

Man, I just love this new format. Is just so nice to have 4 competitive decks that are pretty similar in power. Yeah, I know that Dragon Caster is strong, but if you don't manage well your resources is really probable that you lose. And is just good to have many variation with just one box. You have the classic good Stuff, Full magician that is pretty good in long games, ThunderBird that is powerful to make wins, but not that consistent, Warrior Control, that is just sometimes phenomenal and fun to play, Dragons Beat down, or the Fucking Beetle level 1.
