Currently I am almost done with building a top tier Blackwing deck without spending any money in to the game was is a total waste or are Blackwings still worth it?

[@whenyouwalking]

BW are still pretty good. They've been around now for a while now and are still solid.

[@watchbavaria]

Quite a large investment but yes Blackwings still clap those cheeks. Tier 3 I think was it?

[@rickkcir2151]

I can never get into black wings. The biggest factor in me picking what archetypes to use is how they look (that’s just how I am). Black wings look like nerds in poorly made crow fursuits, couldn’t be me.

7:35 I probably see a missplay here... Dark illusion instead of kycoo. First to negate the backrow... And secondly to have lethal! Rod tributes the DM. Rod searches for circle. And circle will summon a DM in the gy thanks to dark illusion. Instead he just has a useless kycoo.

[@Raminator243]

People have been running Night’s end sorcerer for a while now. This list is pretty conventional.

[@yoichi6064]

Yeah right? I thought that too. It's been months. Maybe playing both kycoo and sorcerer is not seen as often, especially because of how useless is the pack in thich Kycoo is found

[@pryce4850]

This exact deck was pretty popular before this video ...I run 1 brionac ice dragon over the Cryston monster

[@Acier25997]

@5:20 I wanna point out that Dkay'd actually misplayed here, he did things in the wrong order here by using circle first, he should have: 1) played rod searched illusion magic, 2) used illusion magic to thin the deck for 2 DM, then 3) played circle to add a card and put the remaining cards on the top of his deck in any order - by playing circle first and then rod he made the second benefit of circle pointless since the rod search shuffles his deck now, circle should almost always be used last if you have both it and rod in your hand.

Circle would have been useless because navigation shuffles the deck anyway. The missplay at 7:36 is more important.

[@Acier25997]

@ True, but he should have thinned the deck before using circle anyway.

@@Acier25997 Actually u have a bigger chance to search with circle if u use it first. Thus u would thin more with circle first.

8/16 which is 50% to search with circle if used first. 7/15 which is 46.6% if used after rod.

[@covershopkid]

It’s insane to me that this game continues even years later. How is every game not an instant otk with this many cards and so few lp?

[@theinternetofficer6594]

Because both players have equally as unfair decks, giving both players a shot with their strategies

[@ПетарМилковски]

Well the potential of doing an OTK is higher than the TCG because people have created a lot of good combos,but the downside is that you need to have a very good/perfect hand to execute the OTK. And also here you have less cards,less monster zones than the TCG and less LP.So in my opinion.It's logical that the LP is halved and the monster zones are limited to 3.If the monster zones were 6 the amount of combos will be so great that the chances of OTK exceed to 95%+ and you will dump 3/4 of your deck to the grave. Edit:Also the starting hand is smaller than in the TCG.

[@brenomanhaes9322]

The traps are still broken, thats how. Also there are some decks that win by outresourcing (Invoked, Aromages and Darklords) so games are not always super fast when you play against them (only one of those is top tier though)

[@ПетарМилковски]

@@brenomanhaes9322 Invoked...That deck will survive any blow that you deliver at it. BAM limited monster (nothing changed) BAM another ivoked semi-limited monster (nothing changed in the gameplay,still a engine for a lot of decks). There is almost nothing that can stop invoked monsters (except probably limiting invoker and invocation). Darklords were pretty good but Konami fucking destroyed them,destroying their engine of Ichxel and resourcing to using a pure Darklord deck with limits to it,or a lightsworn/darklord mashup wich sort of revived the deck. Aromages weren't the best deck and aren't that much closer to being a top tier deck,yes,they have a lot of new support with continuous traps/spells which if they have 3 continuous spells/traps on their field activated,they can be a solid wall to beat over and you should expect a lot of barrage from their spells/traps with the combos of their monsters which have LP gaining effects. Lightsworns a deck that has recently been released.The deck on it's own isn't that good because it lacks consistency,but if you mash it up with other archatypes (Darklods,Shiranui,Blue eyes) it will become a really good deck.So basically to summon lightsworns into one sentence,they are an engine/structure deck.

They need to change no mortal can resist cause playing against someone who uses it every turn is annoying.

They should change it so that they can only use it if they have 1000 or less LP remaining. That way it can still be a comeback skill and not reliant on a single cosmic cyclone. Having a skill based on the LP difference between you and your opponent just seems silly.

So Ritual Beasts was a deck that used Treach a lot back when it was meta.

So now a deck that quite literally locks your opponent up turn one and wins next turn is playing treach I will only expect Konami to put a stop to this. Unless of course they want to make The Worlds meta revolve around Degenerate Magician and Blue Eyes which will raise the chances of a cutscene unlike last years tourney.

[@CyranoForever101]

While Dark Magical Circle broke the deck, we all know Komoney won't hit it. SO, if that's true, the best possible hits would probably be to put Magician's Rod to 2 and Magician Navigation to 3. Using this deck as an example, that would erase both Treacherous and the Cosmic Cyclones, which would probably still not be enough (because Circle is broke), but it's at least a step forward. More honestly, Treacherous and Cyclone should just be banned outright. Almost every single top tier meta deck uses them until the banlist 3-limits and 2-limits things so that they can't. There's almost never been a time where both cards weren't top tier in whatever could play them. Granted, even banning both wouldn't be enough to handle how stronk DM is, they both have no place in Duel Links. The fact that SO MANY SKILLS are used BECAUSE Cyclone triggers them again proves how broke it is, that skills have to effectively be balanced AROUND Cyclone, and anything that's "if your LP is 3K or less" means Cyclone is basically an auto-include for the trigger. Fuck this game is retarded.

better use 2 wall of D rather than TTH coz there's alot monster can't be targeted

[@JDP8888]

alldie 669 it ain’t easy for DM to get over any monster with 2500 ATK. Yeah it’s a good tech

[@Christian1997Koppelt]

Floodgate, void trap hole, mirror wall (triggers nmcr) would work as well to get this dirty cocytus/saber dancer outta here

@@Christian1997Koppelt sadly i didn't have floodgate, and only had 1 void traphole

[@JDP8888]

Kuppel the way I play against those decks is not allowing them to summon big boss monsters. If I go with circle and navigation set, pass. Once Allistur hits the field I go for navigation followed by circle to banish Alistur. Then they have a dead Invocation unless they have another Alistur or fusion substitute. As for Dancer I have Oracle Mahad. I do like using TTH for synchro reliant decks like Thunder Drags and Shiranui.

With all the cosmic cyclones around here I ain't so sure about wod.

[@alexbrown6363]

But what if you don't have a cosmic cyclone

[@portagasdace21117]

Dicephoon, Nightbeam, raigeki break, Galaxy cyclone are just a few options.

[@portagasdace21117]

But dicephoon is luck based. landing on 1 or 6 damages you 2,3,and 4 destroys 1 spell/trap 5 destroys 2. Use it at your own risk.

Rod to 2 will reduce the toxic first turn consistency. And would not severely hurt a fan fav deck..would also take out treach and econ. But right now D.magician with the Nmcr is simply toxic..as powerful as BEWD has been it has never been toxic.

Uh oh I sensed some salt, if someone leaves your cheeks clapping in the wind by getting outplayed and noticing the back row setup means they must be a cheater.
