Top 10 Cards That Were Only Good In Duel Links [Part 4]

[@SirFfuzzy]

Call me crazy, but Duel Links is one of my favorite formats because of the card pool, ease of use, skills, and game speed. Every video showing this format some love is welcome to me. Great video!

[@Deathmare235]

The main problem is the micro transactions, it’s way too hard to get urs

[@Deathmare235]

@djolo5140never heard of those decks

[@neonoah3353]

Not really, 2 months and you can get a full run of a box, old cards are super accessible, and on top of that, you can get by with a f2p version of a deck, perfect deck building is only necessary for tournaments, which 98% of people that say that "dl is gacha" doesnt even participate or even know exists.

[@dontdionme9354]

Other big issue I have with the game is that there is an abundance of only using structure decks no one builds they’re own decks anymore. It’s all, let’s buy this new deck that’s overpowered and use that to OTK other players

[@neonoah3353]

@@dontdionme9354 there isnt any of that rn. Theres net decking, but aside from that, we havent gotten any good structure since the odd eyes one back in july.

[@murx2530]

I remember when Red Eyes was the best deck in the game because Slash Dragon was basically immortal, good times...

[@Deathmare235]

And red eyes fusion was just really powerful

[@miguel_7515]

It was never tier 0 though

[@imthatguy3326]

Red Eyes was my best deck for the longest time, I once won a duel because the opponent's Shi En negated the continuous trap while attacking for game, thereby activating its graveyard effect.

[@frankwest5388]

It never was the best deck and more of a casual player gatekeeper. It had very little success in tournaments even at the hight of its playability. In many ways however it separated bad players from better ones/p2w players, since they either had the resources or skill to deal with it

[@MarioMastar]

I'm just glad Red eyes is viable after hearing the bad news about it in TCG. I'm not really interested in most Tier 0 decks as I feel that goes against the spirit of what makes Yugioh Fun, when people are minmaxing all the time. I just play my favorites, hope for a good hand and have a good time.

[@rainbowdragon168]

Malevolent Sin is probably one of the most played cards in Duel Links especially during PVP duels

[@Robi2009]

Agreed, almost immediately I got it, I put it in nearly all my decks.

[@neonoah3353]

Even with castel, people still pick malevolent instead.

[@rainbowdragon168]

@@neonoah3353 Yeah that’s true

[@kingsilverwing1854]

It was the most popular card for a time

[@Aloyus_Knight]

I hate the utter shit out of that card because of how annoying it is & it should be banned. Same goes for cyber slash harpie lady because of how o.p. it is & that its WAY TOO EASY to bring out. (when your on the receiving end of it anyway)

[@mariana_1913]

"Duel Links lore is fun" fr, and i am really wondering where is taking us. A final showdown of everyone vs Kaiba? Because every single universe saw that something isn't right at all, V-Rains, Arc-V, Zexal, 5'ds, GX and DSOD They are like "Who created this and why?" "Who would give life to us, things of the past" (IA, Celina, Z-One, Dark King Jaden, and others). All this lore is leading to war and i'm all for it

[@Deathmare235]

Ngl would’ve been cool having revolver introduced by fighting Kaiba since he’s a hacker

[@MarioMastar]

The fact that Arc V, DSOD, VRAINS (canonically), and SEVENS (canonically) all continue their plots in duel links is nothing short of facinating. It's like Pokemon Masters EX, a way for fans of the anime to see more story long after their animes concluded. ANd there's something so heartwarming about seeing Yuya's alter egos meet each other physically. especially the scene with Sora apologizing to Yuto for attacking his home. You could feel how bad Sora felt about that and Yuto forgiving him knowing he helped Yuya save the worlds in the end and is a good kid. Though it was funny they retconned how the Sora vs Yuya first duel played out. as in the ANIME, Yuya was annoyed by Sora and didn't want to teach him, but in Duel LInks, Sora actively WAS annoying Yuya and Yuya admitted he only didn't want to teach him FOR FREE...he had to sign up for classes like everyone else. They also skipped the part where Yuya got depressed when he lost Odd eyes by making it look like Yuya KNEW that Pendulum monsters are re-summonable as Extra deck monsters when they die, instead of realizing that on accident. I think they wanted to fix Yuya's character since he was whiny an emo in the anime, but is a lot friendlier and more confident in Duel Links. I'm REALLY wondering what will happen when Yuri is added. They mentioned him. That and Playmaker finding AI was heartwarming. I really like how it's canon too and how they see Duel Links as part of the VRAINS world, making for genuine new lore. THough Zexal is literally retreading the Barian arc and the others are fully aware they're virtual versions of their (tragically deceased) IRL counterparts.

The Gate Guardian skill was also used in a couple of horrifically toxic orcust brews. The GG monsters could make dracosack in the emz to get 4 monsters on field, then go for the good old “any two monster” orcust plays - with the added bonus of either getting decode talker extended out, or using knightmare orcust as a 7 to do ebon magician stuff. You pretty much had to go first, but it was essentially a pseudo ftk - some builds even ran tools for an actual ftk with catapult turtle and equip spells.

[@SSJvegito501]

Came here to say this. A got surprised by a free orcust players on the KC cup and I lost even when I had an extremely good starting hand.

[@Aloyus_Knight]

I once dueled someone in pvp who used the gate guardian skill & I beat them with gear golem the moving fortress. Just shows how flawed a skill like that can be.

[@ryanager8029]

And now Elements Unite is being used to get instant access to World Gears of Theolurgical Deimurgy

[@pi_xi]

Gate Guardian recently got new support.

[@Ergeniz]

No such thing as 'toxic' in Yugioh.

[@thehoennguardians4286]

Slight Correction; Dread Master can be summoned to the field by ANY Means. However, the effect to revive 2 D - Hero monsters only activates if you summon it by the field spell. It's protection effect triggers the moment it summons in any manner (Normal or any other special summon) and it doesn't activate. Giving you pretty good protection for D Heroes.

[@Krokodilius]

still confuses me why gate guardian was never changed into a fusion monster.

[@buchiklop110]

Can confirm that Malevolent Sin is indeed still dangerous even today in Duel Links. Also, I ran a Malefic deck for a few months. Paradox's skill allowing Malefic World to activate at the start was indeed very, very good. Also, Clock Tower Prison was a MENACE during Legacy Duels a few months ago. For those who don't play Duel Links, Legacy Duels are PvP matches that only use card pools from that era of the anime. In the GX version, only cards used during the GX anime/manga were allowed to be used. They also gave a bunch of pre-made Decks for those who don't have enough cards to make a decent deck. Aster's pre-built Deck had Clock Tower Prison get 4 counters almost immediately and allowed him to summon Vision Hero Trinity ASAP, so most people only ever ran Aster. Still wondering where the hell the Black Luster Soldier crew are, though. The Soul of Light and Darkness has made them one of the most broken decks ever, and the recent nerf didn't do THAT much damage to it. DL has also started dropping "Archive Skills" which are usable among all Duelists. One of them allows you to draw MST when you lose LP, while another one lets you regain 2000 LP if you have a total Link Rating of 3 or more on the field, then on Turn 5 you can send 4 Link Monsters from your GY to your Extra Deck and add one Crusadia Avermax from outside your Deck. Another one boosts Charmers by allowing you to set Awakening of the Possessed from outside of your deck if you have all the Familiar Possessed Monsters in your Deck. Oh, and there's a bundle pack that gives you MST, so you don't need to invest in the box to get a single copy.

[@dritonalili3472]

32:17 / Correction: Turning monsters into insects was very important in the tier zero Six Samurai format since Shi En required a warrior tuner and it was the most common deck used to counter Six Sam since it also turned off Dual Wield.

[@D0ct0rD0ng]

Even after all the power creep and all the insane Backrow/Extra Deck monster Duel Links have gotten since it was first introduced, Malevolent Sin is still one of the most used Extra Deck monster in the game.

[@horobi-san4427]

I had no idea that Malevolent Sin was trash in the card game By reading his effect in DL, i thought he was good in both versions I've been getting into YGO through DL because building an IRL deck or finding other people to play with is pretty much impossible, loving these videos so far

[@rookbishop7822]

Yea it was too slow and certain card benefits for being banish plus it targets. DL help it shine but even still it rank up is still slow to rank it to it higher form

[@LeMisterRai]

It just came too late in the TCG to be good, with Castel and Silent Honor already being released by that time

[@MarioMastar]

Duel LInks is kind of different metawise as it still kind of plays to the old format style where it's less about big combos to prevent your opponent from playing the game and still more about outclassing your opponent with attack power. He often says "Raising attack power doesn't matter in the TCG cause you'll usually see people wipe your board with effects". In Duel LInks, attack power is often the only way to beat out most monsters and having a big body on the field is always worth respecting. The 20 card deck size really limits the value of cards like lightning vortex or even drowning mirror shield because using a turn setting up a defense is a turn you're not mounting an offense. So in the long game it could cost you. That's what makes Malevolent sin so good. But he did say that it's not BAD in the TCG, it was just powercrept a bit by cards that have stronger effects, which matters more in the TCG as games usually last in fewer turns...even if they take forever to pull off.

[@thejamesonthestreet]

It's not trash per se, but just too late and during that time, TCG already has a better card(s).

[@joshuanieves360]

The drool and Locke bird at the beginning makes me wonder if you could do a list of top ten cards good in the tcg but not duel links

[@guestb8389]

V Salamander is one of my favorite examples of a terrible anime card being made a rogue meta threat through a skill alone. Order of Chaos literally just gets rid of all of its weaknesses. You no longer have to set up your grave with Utopia, and your normal summon can be an additional one if you have a card you are willing to shuffle back into deck.

[@Keroltor]

[@MarioMastar]

Duel LInks got me back into the game too (after binge watching all of Zexal...EVERY episode. I enjoyed it). I'm just so glad that there's a casual friendly way to play Yugioh after seeing what the TCG has become... I swear when I hear "If you're not playing the meta deck of the month, you're playing a deck designed to stop the meta deck of the month" that'd turn anyone off. But I don't play to win, I just play to have fun and try cool strategies with my favorite card....artwork. Hehe I'm a simp for so many of the cool looking dragon and dino cards.

[@liveoptimistic]

[@Mimiyan_or_Pikapikafan]

Odd-eyes Raging Dragon is one of my two really good decks right now, not as good as my Live Twins deck (i think) but still the fact that they made a competitive deck partially free during the follow-up to worlds earlier this year is still wild to me

I used to use that Gateguardian skill any time the game required me to duel other players. Either I won quickly or lost quickly, either way it was done.

[@fabiomcmuffin]

Another big reason malevolent sin was so good in duel links was only having 4000 life points. That gave it insane OTK potential, removing your opponents only monster and swinging for game alongside any other monster with 1600+ atk

[@niladrighosh3269]

Jade insect spell with lava golem Amazon swordswoman like 6 years old weevil strategy good times when duel links was fun

[@Fran10969]

I wanna be mad at you for 5:24-5:30 but that's honestly helpful. Thanks for the tip.

[@MASTERSOT]

Straight Flush I don't know how its the Meta now as I stopped playing when they took out Pendulum in Duel Link but Straight Flush was a solid choice in my deck as in Duel Links with only 3 slots for Trap-Spell Cards was very easy to fulfill the activation prerequis (as pposed to tcg) her and without Main Phase 2 the opponent couldn't put new cards after the Battle Phase

[@suyogjoshi673]

No. 1 pick reminds me of 2019-20 era where wevil deck was annoying that it was infamously known as WEVIL CANCER deck for using skill combo with lava golem and amazoness swords woman

[@Lucario1121]

Also dont forget in Duel Links Weevil apparently also got basically murdered by Celina when he apparently tried to hse his Parasite card against her which triggered her a little

[@MICHAELTUMANGDAY]

Statue of Anguish pattern becomes abuseable if you pair it with cyber shadow Gardna. Also Anguish is a good tribute fodder for Odd eyes advanced dragon. Red eyes slash and other red eyes fusion monsters are bot staples in casual duels

[@FSKyurem]

Anguish also finds a home in Trap Monster Subterrors, making its popping effect very deadly. 2 card pops in addition to Nemesis Warrior being able to use a Trap Monster to summon Umastryx while also clearing the field a little for another Trap Monster to summon

Some video ideas: archetypes doing better in Duel Links than in the TCG/OCG. Potential archetype monster/spell/trap cards that would break Duel Links by making tier zero decks. As there are some archetypes that are missing cards like Fluffals, I don't know if it only applies to boss monsters or if there are archetypes are missing tech cards that are monster cards. Also thanks for doing these videos on Duel Links whether it was due to my suggestion or not.

[@Chaos706]

Say what you want. Nobody expects anguish. And if your deck is full of trap monsters you can pop off every card your opponent plays, then summon Uris on your turn for big damage. So it’s sorta decent in casual games.

[@MarioMastar]

Yeah it's really charming and shows DuelLogs is aware that fans of Yugioh aren't just here for the meta. they also love the lore, anime, card art, and sometimes just playing for fun, playground style. It always warms my heart when he says "It's such a shame this card isn't good because the art is SO CUTE!" and I'm like "I agree I don't care if it's bad, I'll MAKE THAT CARD WORK IN MY DECK!" and even occasionally offers tips on HOW to make the most of an otherwise bad card by hinting at other cards that can help it out, even if a bit slower.

I built a Gate Guardian Combined deck to use against my friends (we pretty much only do vanilla and Link summons) and absolutely adore it. Gate Guardian has been one of my favorite monsters from the moment I saw it in the anime. I was so glad it got a redemption arc in the modern era.

[@ruyman90]

I heard that the aromages were really powerful in DL because they could recover more LP than the damage you could do, making them virtually unbeatable by battle

[@orangegalen]

Aromages were something that I mained for the longest - LP gain was on point, fairly flexible gameplay with monster, spell, and trap effects, could get decent syncros out. Problem is they got outpaced like a lot of archetypes in DL over time.

[@oHiMi1337]

I don't wanna lean into the hater energy too hard because I really enjoy your videos and I really enjoy when the general YGO community gets exposed to Duel Links but the scriptwriter hid a couple oddities in this one that kinda got me out of the flow a little bit. From more niche things like how Malefics were already a rogue strategy back when they released and the character was nowhere to be seen cause the best deck at the time (Star Seraph Darklords) really struggled to clear as many big monsters as Malefics was able to put out. To glaringly obvious inaccuracies like the fact that Hang on Mach doesn't prevent Raigeki Break or Karma Cut from discarding for cost so Hang on Mach players at the time had to run Forbidden Lance to deal with those. The niche Duel Links stuff is whatever, I mean it's not particularly well documented so if you weren't there it's a lot of hearsay. But it would be nice if somewhere in the video making process stuff like "Macro prevents you from discarding" got caught the next time around. Thank you very much.

[@13KuriMaster]

Another thing in favor for Gate Guardian is that the Elements Unite Skill allows for some of the most consistent farming decks against some LV 40 duelists......... though the Labyrinth Builder skill (also used by the Paradox Brothers.... though as a duel reward drop) is just as consistent and can handle more duelists.

[@pascaltillack]

Lab builder was probably the best farm skill until yubel was released, i used para & dox to farm yuga since his clear wing could easily Deal with terrorincarnate

[@Glitchr10]

statue of anguish pattern always made me want to use my highest attack monster to attack first, so switching to regular yugioh was weird when everyone was telling me that they attack with their lowest attack first because of gorz, but all i could think of is "what if they flip anguish pattern"

[@roncerjani9063]

I got Gorzed only once and it was scarring enough to make me always attack with the lowest ATK monster first. Now I don't play anymore, but for the time Gorz was daunting

[@e.t.1947]

Elements Unite gste guardian skill still sees play today to easily summon world gears of thaumaturgical dutorogy. Also when orcust first released in duelinks, mermaid was legal so elements unite became a niche skill to run orcust combos

[@Luna-Starfrost]

Hearing Mr. Logs say "It's a serioud meddl name" was the greatest thing ever

[@BYERE]

Statue of Anguish Pattern is a staple in my U.A. deck on Duel Links (and will continue to be until we get the rest of the U.A. cards released, like Libero Spiker and Player Manager, to make the deck actually viable), as it not only gives a worthy defence with no cost other than the time it takes to go between turns, having two on the field at the same time means if the opponent tries to gank one of them, I can activate both (chaining to each other) and bomb one of their cards while still getting said defence Trap monsters aren’t great to use, but are great for easy Xyz/synchro summoning, as well as tributes when it comes to the likes of U.A. decks where the majority of monsters are lv5 or higher.

[@RedTheWeeb]

Slash absolutely can be good outside of duel links but it's more so just MD. Slash control exists with either INK or adventure combo lines where you just have to use verte to make it at the end. Adventure pairs nice since that's atleast a guaranteed 2 target protection and a negate for the weakest board

[@Pubscrub_Rion]

The gate guardian skill can also Cheat the Link boss monster *"World Gears of Theurlogical Demiurgy"* that requires 3 5 lvl or more monsters in turn 1. That can blow opponent field and summon world chalice (to sent a monster summoned from extra deck).

There's V Salamander too which is broken in Duel Links because of a skill. Black Soldier Vanilla also is insanely good because it has a skill that gives it an effect. RN Yubel is also very strong. There was Invoked Coccytus also. Also, Meklord was Tier 1 at one point - it was a turbo Rank4 deck. Still not terrible today. DDD Doom King Armageddon is a 3 of in DDD decks in Duel Links because the skill gives it another effect that makes it really good There is Knightmare Mermaid too, the most broken card I've ever seen in this game,it was so unbalanced they had to ban the card straight. The Limit1 restriction wasn't enough, it's so rare. It abused the Gata Guardian Paradox brothers skill

On endless trap hell, the skill got nerfed and doesnt shuffle all traps anymore, and you have to return 1 card from the hand to deck. On f.a hang on mach, you said it came in the harpies box with slash and malevolent sin, which is kinda wrong, sin came in a different box.

[@jj12343211]

Levia was a good finisher in lots of the handheld games. Full board wipes that leave you with a finisher are rare.

[@igorl6753]

Statue of anguish pattern is my favorite card because it can be combined with the tiki trap monsters, cyber shadow gardna and zoma (and almost nobody runs jinzo). And usually the opponent doesn't read the cards before attacking and they rage quit not knowing what just happened under their eyes. So, if they attack my statue, tiki soul saves it (setting it facedown) and tiki curse destroys the attacking monster. Or if they attack the cyber shadow gardna, it's mutual destruction. And the XYZ / link summon possibilities are good in a good trap monster deck. The only thing is jinzo and some weird negate effects. And trap monster decks are really slow, giving the chance to chip life points without doing too much. Yubel decks are annoying too: 1) the first form is never there to stay, so nobody cares 2) the second form has to be destroyed before it wipes the field 3) you have to be ready to destroy the third form as quickly as possible before you take damage from its attacks

Also poor Red-Eyes Slash Dragon, wrong box debut (Resonance of Contrast, not Blade of Spirits) and structure deck wasn't named, (X and not Return of the Res-Eyes.)

Yo, I get on and I'm greeted with a fresh duel logs video, that's just great

[@jamesgotchall7205]

I always find it interesting that the design for slash dragon is essentially red eyes and gearfried the iron knight....I wish they released more support for the original gearfried monsters

[@RizPlaysYTgaming]

What I love about this is I use the trap card statue of anguish pattern in my odion/uria deck

[@ducklett01god]

Infinite trap hell plays are crazy

[@RizPlaysYTgaming]

@ducklett01god I pretty much run continuous monster traps and uria haha and some like skull invitation

[@ducklett01god]

@@RizPlaysYTgaming skull invitation plays are crazy for how they make your opponent lose cards so easily

[@RizPlaysYTgaming]

@ducklett01god oh I know haha I use the tiki trap cards too which one destroys an opponents monster and the other I think sends a card from the hand to the grave so i end up doing quite a bit with them and even if they destroy my traps I then have uria also

[@gageh9218]

Definitely no where played enough to get on any list, but one card I liked in Duel Links is The Tripper Mercury. 2000 atk and could attack twice. If you used 3 tributes for it, it'd put all the opponents monsters in attack then reduce them by their original atk. I used it as a finisher in Paleos way back.

Gate Guardian made people surrender right away when I summoned it

[@blackopsmajorr5]

Red-eyes x buster blader is my favorite combo arch types plus claw of hermos is fun

[@jie8358]

One of my favorite decks i made was a hybrid arcana force using sars right side up skill it was pretty good got me to king of games but it was heavily relied on the skill as they were only good right side up.

[@HoIIowedSlayer]

5:23 Okay man that was uncalled for.

[@wvgAm3CrAzY]

Good old weevil burn, I made so many weevil players mad with my old beatdown naturia kaiba deck, cause they'd use the whistle and I'd pick my naturia stag beetle

Hey DuelLogs, long time subscriber love watching your videos. You should do a 3 part series 'The top 10 Strongest cards of all time". The top 10 Monster/Spells/traps.

[@SSJvegito501]

The fa deck also made the other level related skills to have the same restrictions as the one you mentioned just to be on the safe side.

[@MarioMastar]

Poor Ancient Fairy dragon. Even if she isn't banned or limited in Duel Links, the deck auto built pairs her with caused so many restrictions. XD I always found it funny if you auto build with Ancient fairy dragon, she always is put in an F.A. Deck. like "What does she have to do with race cars?" Their three field spells and how much they rely on them mostly.

[@diegomolinari11]

Man, these new type of Top 10s with added humor and info are fantastic. You could have just slapped 10 cards in the video but you did an amazing job here!!

[@PatounesTR]

oh daedalus, sends me way back to duel link launch

[@OGBoySnail]

Hi DuelLogs. Love your vids!❤
