Wrath

Anyone know a good sea stealth attack deck that is affordable and good in pvp

Depends on your definition for "affordable", because SSA deck runs a lot of SR cards along with a few UR cards.

I mean, you can get those cards (any box cards, really) using gems only, so they're affordable in a sense, but it definitely will take a long time compared to those who spend money to open lots of packs at once.

If you also have Warrior of Atlantis... then all you need is to get A Legendary Ocean and Hammer Shark from the card trader. Beautunaful Princess would be nice too, if your Mako is already leveled. You can fill the rest of the deck with more 5* water monsters or S/T that would help you out. Maybe something to counter Cosmic Cyclone, or something to destroy (set) monster to prevent a Sylvan chain.

Is this a good deck? It seems to be the deck that wins the most, but I wanted some critic on my deck and if it needs improving or not.

Skill: Draw sense- High Level

1x Elemental hero neos alius
1x Magical something
1x Man-eater bug

Right now your deck is just a lot of beatdown with little defense or S/T removing ability. Nothing wrong with a beatdown deck... but you might encounter trouble against combo that could clear your field or a really strong monster. Dark Paladin seems to be your best card, so I agree with the guy above-- focusing on getting it out is probably good.

Consider using Blue Dragon Summoner-- it will let you search for both Buster Blader AND Dark Magician. You can get Blue Dragon Summoner from the Card Trader. You could consider getting some 4* dragon beater like Luster Dragon to enhance your Dark Paladin, or Mirage Dragon to help against traps in battle. Finally I would take out Supervise. Not much point using it if you only have 1 Gemini Monster.

Blue dragon can't search buster blader as it can only search normal monsters

Hey guys I’m certainly no expert, and never really knew how to build a deck. I used this so far to fusion summon “elemental hero inferno” . It’s gotten me pretty far to unlocking characters and events but I need to build something better. Any help would be appreciated

just play e-hero beatdown instead with hero dwell skill.
Fusion is not really viable in duel links since you need a lot of resource.
The only viable "fusion" deck atm is masked hero and it doesn't even use polymerization

<< Anonymous(Itswhatever )

Study this Structure Deck [Destiny Rulers] and you **need** to customize it. this structure deck has [draw power] & [special summoning] monster from graveyard as additional material for fusion summon.

<< Anonymous

Also, support card for fusion summon;
The Dark - Hex-Sealed Fusion (substitute)
King of the Swamp (substitute)

(Bad Option) for extra deck monster;
A) "Elemental HERO Heat" + "Elemental HERO Lady Heat" <-- require 2 specific monster

b) **** Must be Fusion Summoned **** and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways.

<< Anonymous

(Good Option) ;
A)"Red-Eyes B. Dragon" + 1 Warrior monster
B) 1 "Destiny HERO" monster + 1 DARK Effect Monster

Above monster can be special summon;

#A specific "Red Eye B. Dragon" as core, but it can be substitute with support card.

#B did not specific a card name as core.

I've only been playing for just over a month and this is my first experience with the card game so I'm still super new to all this. I'm looking for advice on how to make my BEUD deck better. This deck is actually good for me and my play style but I know it has a lot of problems. I do win about 55-60% of the time though, if not a bit more. I'm not looking to get super meta game focused and I'd like to stick with using Mokuba and Kaiba-Corp Bling. Two of my BEWDs are glossy but sadly not all three. The main points I want to adjust are Ancient Dragon, Mirage Dragon, Dragonic Guard, and Red-Eyes Wyvern. Any recommendations on better Spell/Trap cards would be appreciated too. BEUD is in the Extra Deck. I'm willing to grind LDs and/or go through numerous card packs for any helpful cards. Please don't comment just to 🔥 me/my deck/the way I play. I just want to do better and have fun. Any kind of polite advice is welcome! :)

You should add some defense cards because there will be times when you either brick or just can't play the blue eyes. Gives more chances to get the cards you need. Some popular ones are

Wall of disruption
Mirror wall
Enemy controller

I agree with the removing of the cards the other player suggested. Add in more kaibaman he summons blue eyes easily

Okay! Thank you very much! I'll get those cards too then.

<< Anonymous(Berri)

Aquablast Reply

If you ever get the Draconic Force Structure Deck, you can consider using Hieratic Dragon of Nuit. If you active its effect, you can get a BEWD out right away. It'll be at 0 ATK/DEF, but you can still use it for Burst Stream of Destruction and fusion summoning BEUD. If it does get destroyed, you can still summon it from the grave using Dragon's Rebirth (which if from the same structure deck).

If you're looking for a free defensive card, try leveling Mai. One of her level up rewards is Windstorm of Etaqua, quite a decent defense card. Odion also has a good defense card for one of his level up rewards (Curse of Anubis), but unlocking Odion is much harder than unlocking Mai.

BUIlt a kidmodo deck, which in itself may have been a mistake, used pretty much all my gems on it so I’m all in lol. It just seems to brick a lot. Is this the archetype itself or my build? Any help is awesome
3x kidmodo
3x vanguard
3x blue eyes
2x blue dragon summoner
1x kaibaman
3x Econ
1x stamping destruction
1x nobleman of extermination
1x champions vigilance
1x trap hammer
1x metalmorph

Kidmodo prevents battle phase so would only really be good if destroyed on opponents turn. You could add more Kaibaman so you can get Blue eyes out easier. Econ is solid, you need better/more back row removal too otherwise your monsters will be destroyed.

I like Hey Trunade and Anti magic arrows. Also there's a spirit monster called Fenghuai that nukes spells and traps.

cards you can think of it.

Dragon's Rebirth <--from Structure Decks
Arkbrave Dragon <-- from Structure Decks
Dragon Knight of Creation <-- Struct. Deck

as Plaguerot said, 3 kidmodo is a bad choice. duel link is a speed duel format. another words, finish your opponent as fast as you can.

Hey guys really struggling to build a decent deck. Got quite a few good cards but am free to play and a lot of decks I see use a lot of multiples of pack sr and ur cards. Any ideas of decks that predominately/only use cards from farming and/or any common or rare cards from packs. Have a few good cards from packs for reference as well, 2 mirror wall, 1 sphere kuribo, nobleman of extermination, stamping destruction, champions vigilance, order to charge. Ps any card trader cards or ticket cards are fine. Thanks heaps, any suggestion welcome :)

You might not have a lot of gems now, but events will keep coming, and you should be able to build up 500 gems quite regularly. Farmable cards are fine, but it will be a challenge to compete mainly using those cards... Except Cyber Angel and maybe Ancient Gear. D-Hero seems promising too, if you can get its structure deck. Blue-Eyes is pretty easy to get out with Kaibaman and Kidmondo Dragon...

... Yeah, okay, I take back what I said about farmable-only cards. You could also consider building a dinosaur beatdown deck. Sabersaurus is only an R in a mini-box. Or maybe a Flying Fish deck? Golden Flying Fish is only an N, Oyster Meister is an R Rank Duel Ticket Reward, Hammer Shark is from Card Trader. And while going for Flying Fish, you might get enough cards for Alien.

Btw, as for Cyber Angel... just because 3 Senju is nice doesn't mean you *need* them. The important thing is you can get the CA rituals/monsters from farming, and Cyber Petite Angel from leveling up. I'm sure you can make do with the rest using creative thinking or good luck. Oh, and I forgot to mention all of the Aromage key cards can be obtain via Card Trade. That might be worth a try too.

Is running 3 Saffiras instead of 3 Senjus still good?

I feel like three senjus it’s best because it’s a searcher whereas Saffira is not. And sometimes you’ll want dakini for Certain situations

run 2 Saffira and 3 Senju. If you dont have senju, run gishki chain or sonic bird. at least then you can search something.

May the God Cards forgive me for my sins I have made by coming up with this deck...here's the list I have so far:

Odion w/ Chain Reaction

Lava Golem x1
Big Shield Gardna x3
Des Feral Imp x3
Labyrinth Wall x1

Enemy Controller x3

Intrigue Shield x1
Draining Shield x1
Wall of Disruption x3
Spikeshield with Chain x3
Interdimensional Matter Transporter x1

Cards I've been considering are "Staunch Defender" for more aggressiveness, and "Good Goblin Housekeeping" for draw power.

What can I do to improve upon this sinful deck?

Building an SSA deck. I have fallen to platnum 1 but have reached platnum 4 this season. My goal every season is to do one rank better so I am aiming for legend. I am a f2p player and just reset abyss encounters. Any advice on strategy for how to play this/any cards to add or swap out. Thanks.

- Gishki Chain is a good replacement when lacking a third Abyss soldier.
- Skreech (1x) is a good whale searcher/discarder.
- Lastly, a potent and game-changing backrow is needed. 1x Divine Wrath is a very strong insurance. Since Whale can negate most Quick-play spells, it's a preference between spell or trap negation. For Cosmic Cyclone, use 1x Magic Jammer. For Ultimate Providence, use 1x Tools

Beautunaful Fish Reply

I forgot to include 2x SSA as the main core for the said whale-centric deck. If you consider all cards recommended, 21 cards in total, a choice to negate a spell/trap is provided for the last card. 1x Chalice can replace either an Econ or Kuriboh, depending on favored match-ups. Lastly, Fisherman is strong but not required in an SSA deck lacking, or without ALO variants.
