Welcome to Duel Links F2P, where I upload the best cheap / budget free to play decklists in yugioh duel links. I generally build decks with a low cost to be as beginner friendly as possible. I also do new box guides and reviews. If you found my deck profiles useful or my content enjoyable, like the video and maybe consider subscribing so that you don’t miss out on my future uploads.

After building a bare bones red-eyes deck to get by, I'd try to build a deck that is 1) simple and aggressive, 2) mildly competitive, 3) can auto duel well, 4) has all it's entire archtype in a single mini box.

For beginners, I would recommend some zero gem decks to you guys 1. Aroma 2. Cyber angel 3. Cubic 4. Cyberdark Just use tickets, cards from card trader and gate character rewards to build them, they’re super cool and fun decks

[@meistalampe8894]

The thing i do when i make a new account is unlocking GX and Alexis Rhodes, Then i will create a Cyber Angel deck. All cards already in duel links except vrash can ge botten for free , and the hardes to get card idaten is playable (not better) at 1. Also i get Djinn Demolisher of Rituals, because it helps against lot of cards because of the targeting protection. With knowing that you can get a complete functional free deck, you can lean back a bit and get a bit aclimated to the decks running around and learning the game. Otherwise for example, i agree that the red eyes starter deck is the best to get first, because a) it is cheap b) it can be used for farming. A later deck you can get (but it is not completely free, the most important card is in a Box) is Amazoness for farming. It doesn't really hold up in the meta, but it it is really good at running over bots. Last thing i would recommend is actually your "routes" when it comes to going through boxes. Even stuff like the "rock route" where you get dark magician, Magnets and Triamids is a really good way to start. The last thing tip overall i would say is when you build decks: If you build a "meta deck" or a pre build deck, dont stress over building the deck perfectly. Take it as a goal if you want, but always let you think and maybe recommend ALTERNATIVES which maybe aren't as good but still do the job. Don't let anyone say to you "you need 3 book of moon, there is no alternative", but use yout spike trap holes, mirror forces, etc. which can also do the job.

[@Azrael-midnight]

You know so much about the game, but I recently got the game and my friends are just destroying me so easily. I don't understand how the link extra deck works. Or how to fuse my cards. I don't know how or what card is good to use. I mostly pick the cool looking cards instead of the cards that are good. Can you please guide me

[@reikaz_]

im glad to meet u. Same for me

[@GiggusChaddus]

To kick off ya account, the Red-Eyes structure is ya best shot at farming the Stage missions and leveling up your unlocked characters, if you're looking to start off a competitive ranked deck, the Crusadia main box is a very good pick (in my opinion) considering you get to build 2-3 decks from it which are very easy to learn but mini boxes should be your first priority. Most importantly, stack up your gems as much as you can.

[@Ha-ls3le]

Depends on what you wanna do if your going for a long term account going for good staples early is best as you can fit them into whatever deck you want later.. if your just looking to have quick fun with pvp then mini boxes are good but understand you won’t be competitive in the upper ranks. While searching for staples you can make a better auto duel deck with the other cards your getting.

[@Nick-ib3hw]

@@Ha-ls3le what would be those good staples? i just got into the game and i dont know how to measure what cards should i get

[@Ha-ls3le]

@@Nick-ib3hw Warning point, Crackdown, Forbidden Lance, Book of moon is good to get 3x with UR dream tickets, Effect veiler is a good hand trap.. depends on what you want the new box chips are useful for getting some staples. You can also just look up guides on what to do.

[@paolo4671]

IMO , World of Barian is good , Buying 2 Copies of that Minibox guarantees you 3 Decks already Tenyi - Unga booga No Effect Utopia - Order of Chaos (you can use Tenyi Special Summon) Toons - Fun af For UR -What's your pick Book of Moon = You like to say No to Summoning Cosmic Cyclone = You Like to Say no To Set cards Axe Raider = You wife Divorced you For SR Tickets Prioritize XYZs Support , if not Do Karma Cut , If you have alr , feel free to use it on the archetype you like Thank you for attending my ted talk.

[@Arthur-nb3kl]

As an experienced duelist, what I can tell you is to use your UR tickets to get 3 copies of Axe raider, the strongest card ever in Yu-Gi-Oh 25 year history, here’s why 1. Axe Raider is an Earth monster, which is unaffected by specific counter cars to other attributes like shadow-imprisoning mirror, and it can be a fusion material of invoked magellanica and Hero Gaia 2. Axe raider is a normal monster, which is unaffected by negating effects like forbidden chalice, and it also has decent support cards like unexpected Dai 3. Axe raider has 1700 ATK pts, it’s a super high attack among 4 star monsters, and it is unaffected by card effects countering low ATK monsters like chain disappearance 4. Axe raider is a 4 star monster, it will not brick in hand, and it can be a decent material for rank 4 XYZ summons 5. Axe raider is a warrior type monster, warriors own specific support cards like reinforcement & Returning alive, and equip spells like the noble arms cards 6. Axe raider does not require special summoning, which can break through summoning lock like Iblee, and it’s unaffected by effects that counters special summoning monsters like Red Demons dragon Scarlet

[@Ha-ls3le]

@@Arthur-nb3klI hope this is just a meme cause there’s 4 other normal warrior types with 1800 attack Beckoned by world chalice, Dark Blade, Noble Knight Artorigus, X-Saber Anu and they aren’t even URs.. and that strategy is just ass

[@DavidBeckham2001]

I think that today, World of Barian is the best box to open because of Tenyis. You can get Baxia on a Dream Ticket, and you'll have a good deck just by openning this box, and you don't have to pick anything from another place if you don't want

[@snakeice9875]

Man like me I dine this too😂

[@minabasejderha5972]

2 of my tips: 1. I would give an additional reason to choose Yami Yugi over Kaiba as your starting character. And that is because a bunch of characters' unlock Quests appear before those of the character you did not choose, however, their Quests will require you to playbthem with the character you didn't choose, essentially meaning that if you choose Kaiba, you are artificially raising the unlock stage of a bunch of characters. 2. If you are new to Duel Links, but not to Yugioh in general, consider waiting to start playing the game and spending gems. When your purchase bundles to get certain semi-staples (like Superpoly), they will come with a bunch of packs of the most recent box. While you consider starting the game, pay attention to whatever the newest box is and whether it is one you will want to invest in it, because that will be the best time to buy bundles.

[@XmortoxX1990]

[@Ha-ls3le]

Anything that’s f2p friendly and really good has always been hit with the Konami nerf hammer focus on getting good staples first that you can fit into any deck. Cards like crackdown, warning point are solid. And book of moon is good to get with dream tickets. Having 3x of some of the best staples will help you build competitive decks later on.

[@TheRealTcgGuy]

Haha duel links noob here, i have a few dream tickets, but i cant use them on the cards i want,( finishing a tenyi deck). Is this because they are to new? Any help is appreciated.

[@michealjordan3278]

I am new as well but i’ve heard Dream Tickets are restricted to certain box numbers and does not have the very recents boxes. To note some times really old boxes go on sales so if you intend to dig there for a few cards might as well do it during the sale.

Recommending return of red eyes is a good choice, but this deck has a tiny problem, IT DOES NOT CONTAIN RED EYES BLACK DRAGON, which mean you can't even use red eyes fusion to summon anything, just remind them to farm atleast 1 red eyes black dragon first

[@enkeiie]

You get one from tutorial. As tutorial has you unlock joey who gives you one.

[@rexzaquino6128]

Yeah.but you should rush the 3 red-eyes black dragon.the toon red eyes is garbage as u cannot use the red eyes trap to special summon it from the graveyard unlike the normal red eyes b dragon..switch toon B dragon with the normal red eyes black dragon ASAP.also it's a good way to buy it in the trader as u can upgrade it to Prismatic in time..
