Description in the game

After graduating from Duel Academy, Zane Truesdale was on the fast track to becoming the greatest Duelist in the pro leagues. However, his defeat against Aster Phoenix set him on a dark path where his only desire was victory - at any cost. As the master of the Cyber Style, Zane uses Cyber End Dragon to power his Underworld Deck with forbidden techniques.

Overview

Zane Truesdale (Ryo Marufuji in JP) is the top duelist of Duel Academy, being one of the few people who were able to beat Jaden in a duel, as well as the rival of Jaden Yuki in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. Later in the anime/manga, after experiencing several losses and losing hope, he participated in an underground duel where he is then forced to change his ways and eventually becomes "Dark Zane", becoming more aggressive and unforgiving with his playstyle.

A Fusion Summon of this card can only be done with the above Fusion Material Monsters. If this card attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing battle damage to your opponent.

His signature card is Cyber Dragon, which is an archetype consisting of mostly light attribute monsters. Cyber Dragon shares many similarities to Blue-Eyes White Dragon, with the exception that it is not a normal monster. After his personality transformation later in the series, Zane uses a different deck. While still focusing on Cyber Dragons, they mostly consists of their darkened version.

Previous Event

Zane is playable at Victory Carnival 2018

The Event was held on 15 July 2018 in Tokyo Japan and 22 July 2018 in Osaka Japan. Players will get to experience playing Duel Links in a large touch screen!

Zane Truesdale's Deck

During Jump Victory Carnival 2018, Zane Truesdale was included as a playable character for people who went to the event and tried Duel Links section. Here, Zane used a fusion based Cyber Dragon deck with Classic Cyber Dragon cards combined with more modern support. Particularly we saw cards such as Cyber Dragon, Cyber Dragon Core, Evolution Burst, Power Bond, Power Wall, Cyber End Dragon, and Cyber Twin Dragon which are still unavailable to Duel Links players as of now. This may suggest that they will soon be added to Duel Links, which has long been sought after by the community. This also may also suggest that Zane Truesdale himself will soon be playable and come with support focused around Cyber Dragons and not Cyber Dark Dragons.

Waiting for his decklist here . . .

And I wonder if ojama lock works . . .
<< Anonymous(afph)

No, because he uses Luminous Spark and will easily run over your Ojama Knight. It should work if you can pull out an Ojama King on Turn 1 which is very unlikely. At least I think it shoudn't work

Ojama worked for me but i could have been lucky

Did he use Luminous Spark? At least the lvl 40 uses it. This 🔥ed up my strategy XD

Just beat Zane easily with dark paladin. I'll have to play a few more games to be sure, but it's looking promising.

I used it, but I'm not sure if I needed to.

dark paladin still the best to use

I don't think there's anything at all stopping Cerberus from working here, as long as you can get its ATK up quickly enough, which you typically will if he doesn't pull like a turn 1 Cyber Twin out of his ass.

& what about Cyber Laser Dragon?

I should be clear that I meant Level 40 here. Level 30 might be different. (I've only faced 30 once, but I'd suspect he does indeed run Laser/Barrier there, especially since he lacks an Extra Deck.)

Chtonian Polymer is the perfect trap card to steal Zane fusion monster. Win twice on the first 2 attempts.

On my 2nd try, Zane fusion monster reach 8K and 🔥 himself due to fusion card effect.

Chimeratech Overdragon's obviously the card intended to do so. And really, as far as Duel Links viable cards that don't rely on the opponent having a card like Troop Dragon go, it's about all you can expect. (Though I guess Asura Priest/Machine Lord Ur with Nimble Musasabi and Shien's Spy could also do it.)

I did not try to look at the cards he used, but I lost in 2 turns with a GB deck. He summons Chimeratech Dragon with 5600 ATK and he attacked twice.

I have dealt with many unhappy girls in my life. Nobody understands unhappy girls better than me....
So terrible that this guy would lose to it's own individual pieces if it battled them.
