How to Play

1. Duel in a completely new way!

Special Duel are Ranked Duels with certain conditions and restrictions to the Skills and Decks that you can use. Your rank placement is registered differently from your regular Ranked Duels placement, although the rankings and number of wins required to be promoted, remain the same. For example, you still need to acquire 4 wins to rank up from Platinum 5 to Legendary 1, and 5 consecutive wins to rank up from Legendary 3 to King of Games. Example scenario, if you are King of Games currently in regular Ranked Duels, you can still collect rank placement rewards from Special Duels since you will be starting the climb from Rookie rank.

Comment from zzamaro:

I use Zephyros instead if the party trap card as it is more versatile and faster to use. It can be use with the nest quick play. It can be used for cost of the trap cards and you can get both the field spell and sign spell back to you hand for further plays.

I didn't use much the extra deck but I used Emerald and Cowboy more than the others XYZ monsters especially Cowboy to finish the opponent off.

Comment from Realm:

Harpie sisters helps as second target for egotist and otk in case summoning Harpie 1 couldn't. Battle trap help with surviving some dead draw. In mirror match, the hunting ground is usually destroyed so the battle traps actually work.

Comment from VillaHype:

  • Samurai Skull & or Gozuki - opening cards
  • Spectralsward & Shade - Tuner
  • Solitaire - for recycling.
  • Obelisk - surprise
  • Kuriboh & others alike is needed in a meta where players like to 1 turn kill.
  • Synchro monsters are all important.

Practice & have fun, Shiranui never dies

VillaHype is just a stupid noob for posting a deck with 3 Spectralsword & 3 Samurai Skull. His deck is a complete trash even in the usual ranked duel. People who plays a pathetic deck is only good until Gold rank.

I still prefer can cers in TCG than can cers in DL. 8000LP with 5x2 board is better. What they need to do is to limit the amount of special summons per turn and that will be good enough.

With Pendulums coming, that's unlikely to happen.

Welcome to the "Harpie special duel event". Mark my words.

Yea but it's 6 Harpie decks, and 9 other decks. Any deck could KOG here, but it is just people like to play Harpie more.

I had initially thought they wouldn't be good, but then I was surprised. More than anything though, I hate how this event just turned into a suckfest for elemental hero b.r.a.i.n.d.e.a.d neos and neos fusion.

For those who cannot win call it a stupid event. If you want to abuse those can cer decks then go play standard ranked duel.

I still laugh on those first posts insisting that harpies would be inconsistent in this event.

No, it's just a plain stall deck and nothing more

Another beauty of this special rule is: This is not like regular KOG decklist, here you can't just copy these KOG decks and expecting same result

yeah i had to put together deck alone cos i havent even found some basic samples where to start.not even mentioning copying whole decks.well at least it worked out

But you can just auto fill your deck with the same broken staples, as everyone will do, and steamroll the ladder. I don't see how this is different from netdecking
<< Anonymous

Netdecking here, you just copy the cards. You have to actually make your own play. Not like in reguler, where you will also copy how to play the deck.

Fill deck with staples is slow. Just look at the first few decks that reach KOG here. They have less traps, but build more towards synergy. They finish faster then the rest staples users.

I see karma, canadia and fiendish in most of them. Neos fusion too

this is clearly a fair event for limiting everything to 1, all kinds of fckin broken decks are using 3 copies of everything with rigged consistency skills

Why not unlimited special duels 1 time?

Yeah, that's a big fat NO! from me too, man. You'd see nothing but the cheesiest OTKs the entire time.

It wouldn't be about OTKs. It would be about FTKs. Imagine an event entirely about going first with bamboo burn and auto winning.

So, is the icon for reaching KoG anything new? Or is it the same crown from previous Special Duel Events?

That VillaHype's deck posted here is clearly in wrong place. Maybe it was for Regular KOG. He uses 3 copies of Skull, Sword, and 2 Shogunsaga

lol forgot to put in book of moon in my kog amazoness deck and i had it in my mind.omg .

wow, there's actually a Thunder Dragon deck that reaches KOG! awesome

One of the coolest events in a while. Cydras without their skill and with all their alternative cydras, red eyes, magician girls, gladiator beasts, magnet warriors with their og cards, water decks etc etc. Cool decks and slow paced duels.
The only negatives:
-Harpies due to their incredible consistency and op field skill
-All decks run almost identical backrow: the staple traps.

Despite that I enjoyed the not boring repetitive dueling of normal ranked games were all decks use their 4-5 core cards x3 times. No onomats, no resonators, no thunder dragons.

Hope they made this mode permanent to see at least some deck diversity.

Still fun for me, I prefer rushing things up fast by keep winning again and again until I reached KoG so I can move on with my day. And after at that rank, If I'm bored, I can just play with my meme decks for fun without having to worry about being demoted for losing.

For me, I don't wait until KoG to have fun. I love this game because I like the dueling. Specially in this event, I enjoy every wins and enjoy every loses leading to KoG. In that way I feel my KoGs more fulfilling. Winning, for me, means so much more and so much fun only because we actually could lose.

It may be feel more fun, fullfiling and meaningful but It's not like you actually achieve anything. Reaching KOG is waste of time. All of that trouble and time you wasted is nothing for just 200+ gems. So I rather not spend too much of my time on it by keep winning and winning.

Yea, that is actually the point. I like the dueling; the process of how win or lose. For me it is not about winning and getting reward.

But also, yea I agree. I don't doubt it that Konami is such stingy corps who actually never reward us with anything. Still glad they made this game so I can waste time with fun tho :D
