How would you build a Volcanic deck with the current cards?

Finally made my Gradius/Konami themed deck I've always wanted to do, but I can't seem to pull out of Gold Rank, any suggestions?

Are you going to release the rest Egyptian gods?

I got Legend 5 with this deck the past 2 ranked rotations, but it has become more difficult to use with the current meta. They also released harpie dancer and cyber harpie so I am sure this normal monster variant is not viable anymore. What should I add/take away for cyber and dancer? Are the spells and traps ok?

Wow legend 5. You must be too good that the game don't want to award you kog tittle 2 times

Reduce your E-cons to 1 or 2 at most. E-con will become a liability when you're up against Hazy Flame which can't be targeted. You're better off lvling up Mai/Odion to get Etaqua/Curse of Anubis, respectively. Cyber Harpie would simply replace the normal variant. Dancer generally isn't needed, but you can throw in 1 if you want to.

1. There is only Legend 3, try again, bro. :)
2. My harpie/relinquish deck is good until plat 3/4.
I use:
3x relinq
3x rituals for relinq
2x harpie dancer
2x sonic birds (nice for your harpie dancer, since you can destroy 1 enemy trap/spell card and then summon sonic)
2x senjus
1x harpie lady SR (the one with the 300 atk pump)
Econ, Wall of D, Tornado, Mirroragee
1x birdface or you just let it be

Hi all, is is possible at all to make a viable (mostly) non-dupe Destiny Draw magician deck? I'm in Platinum but looking to shake things up. Here's what I have so far:

Silent Magician LV4 x1
Silent Magician Lv8 x1
Dark Magician x1
Dark Magician Girl x1
Legion the Fiend Jester x1
Chow Len the Prophet x1
Man-Eater Bug x1
Sphere Kuriboh x1

Soul Exchange x1
Anti-Magic Arrows x2
Super Rush Headlong x1
Enemy Controller x2
Ancient Rules x1
Level Up! x1

Mirror Wall x1
Wall of Disruption x1
Champion's Vigilance x1
Draining Shield x1

Thanks!

Also take out draining shield bc it doesn't help you maintain card advantage. Put in an econ instead.

Hey man, thanks so much for your prompt response! So is it virtually impossible to have two archetypes in one deck in Duel Links? That's a bit of a shame... I enjoyed watching the variety of plays in the anime (which I understand Duel Links to be loosely based off).
As for Draining Shield, the idea is to be able to pop Destiny Draw more than once a duel for strategic purposes. Is this unadvisable?

I'm trying to make an Armed Dragons deck, but i don't know which strategy I should use. For example, I don't know if I should use Transmodify with those few lv4 WIND dragons and remove Armed lv3 or if I should use a pure Armed Dragon deck with Level Up. Suggestions?

<< Anonymous(Mah Boi)

Anonymous Reply

I would recommend transmodify over the lvl 3 Armed Dragons. If you have it, you can also run Soul Exchange to use opponents monster as a tribut summon for Armed Dragon lvl 5. Additionally, I would remove Cursed Seal and Quill. Cursed Seal is far too situational and mostly inconsistent at 1x, same with Quill. Add more protection to backrow, perhaps Anti-Magic Arrows to protect our Armed Dragons.

Put in move armed dragon lv 3s and 5s, and put in some mismo kidmodo dragons! You can get kidmodo dragon destroyed and special summon a lv 3, then in ur next standby phase special summon a lv 5!

As I always liked to play Burner Decks, I tried to create one in Duel Links too. Since there is a lack of good Burner Cards I tried my best to use, what is given. The deck works very well against NPCs as they won't attack, when Backup Squad is set (except if they potentially could 🔥 you in one turn, then they will attack). In duels vs real players it works for drawing cards. Some cards are in for getting LP back or be saved from attacks. Still it is a bit inconsistent, so do you have any advice?
Decklist:
2x Lava Golem
1x Octhros
1x Bacon Saver
1x Flammvell Drachnov

1x Paralleltwister (for extra Backup Squads)
1x Burning Land
1x Mask of Cursed
2x Backup Squad
2x Cup of Ace
2x Goblinthief
2x Hinotama
1x Restructor Revolution

1x Wall of Destruction
2x Draining Shield
1x Winds of Etaqua
1x Massivemorph

Absolutely go for more massivemorphs. Since you will have few monsters on the field, they will be invaluable... Switch them out for draining shield. Also put in more doomdogs and flamevell dragnoves.

Duel Links duel mechanic kills Ghostricks so I wouldn't bother. For Ghostricks, the lack of a main phase 2 where you would be able to switch them to face down defense position completely kills their viability. You could run a mill deck with Ghostrick Skeleton mixed in, but no Ghostrick archetype deck will ever be successful without the availability of Main Pahse 2.

After a lot of work, I finally have everything I need to run an Amazoness deck. It is probably more of a casual fun deck, but I have enjoyed using this so far. Any input or advice is appreciated!

I would need to level Joey up about 20 levels. XD But what about Amazoness Blowpiper? It's not really the same thing, but I've been wondering if it would be effective here.

<< Anonymous(Valencia)

Edit: I exchanged it around a bit to include Amazoness Willpower, Mirror Wall, and another Amazoness Fighter.

<< Anonymous(Valencia)

Mah Boi Reply

Amazoness Blowpiper would need some protection like Half-shut or more Tigers

<< Anonymous(Mah Boi)

Valencia Reply

Thanks. I decided to not include the Blowpiper. She just tends to clog up the row and is not very helpful. I might take out Aqua Chorus and replace it with Rising Energy or something else like that. Even with the duplicate Amazonesses (Fighter, Swordswoman, etc.), it can still get bricky.

So, I'm running a Gemini deck with:
Phoenix Gearfried
Darkstorm Dragon
Knight of the Red Lotus
Gemini Scorpion
Blazewing Butterfly x3
Featherizer x2
Knight Day Grepher x3
Supervise x2
Wonder Balloons
Enemy Controller x2
Gemini Trap Hole x2
Wall of Disruption

I'm currently Plat 2, thought?

<< Anonymous(Bueno)

It might be better to run Supervise x3 and a Featherize x3 rather than Scorpion or Grepher. Both will allow to farm your grave pretty easily.

You might also want to add Birthright and/or Soul Resurrection.

Hi there !
Because Marik is my favorite character i'm looking for a good deck to play in the idea of the original Marik in the anime. I just started the game 1 week ago so I don't have many cards yet. Do you have some good deck ideas to share ?
P.-S. : I'm not looking necesseraly for a perfect PvP Deck

You can try his LV40 deck. Look at the event page, that deck is fun.

There's no Sphere Mode card so this idea doesn't work
