Go search for decks that are both expensive and recently released.
Chronomaly is both expensive and recently released = good deck

Eh, Chronomaly isn´t that expensive. I´ve seen several builds that work nicely by going through the Mini Box just twice. You add some backrow removal and you´re good to go.

A deck isn't expensive if it requires zero UR/SR payable cards; or requires going through a 50% discounted box 1 time or less.

Hi everyone, back in the day I used to run a hero deck, i was just wondering if it's still good or if there should be a different deck i should run

The deck has changed over time but some of the old cards are still used; Anki, mask change, vyon and trinity.
The rest changed for v hero increase, v hero faris, stratos

Awesome thank you, is there any other types of decks that you would recommend?

I like fast decks so I'd build photons or finish a hero deck
I'd refrain from building a meta deck we'll have a kc cup soon and we usually get a banlist after it ends

Not sure if anyone can help me here. But in old TCG days I had a fun deck, that is now somewhat possible in Duel Links with the release of Volcanic Queen. It's based on monsters that summon to opponents side on the field (Lava Golem and Volcanic Queen, later maybe Grinder Golem if this card comes) and get them back with Remove Brainwashing and Owner's Seal. Then attack with Anti-Magic Arrows. In addition with summoning curse (opponent has to discard when you special summon to him!) it is nice in theory. Pracitcally I'm stuggling a bit. Maybe you have an idea to improve! https://duellinks.konami.net/att/044e11553e837acac67f1141693186c4cd02295ff2

1500 bucks? Oh, you want all cards to be glossy or prismatic, right? That's a good idea.

I don't think the issue lies in the playstyle or your skill, but more like the entire deck itself with that win rate. Even you utilize the best combo available for your specific deck you will still having a hard time against top tier meta.

If you want to beat top tier meta, you need to play top tier meta.

Hey fellow duelists. I am trying to build an LV deck with whatever cards have been released so far. Any thoughts on how I can make this deck some what competitive for ranked play?

If those are not an option however, I'd say focus on either the Dragon or the Insect, not both. For example replace your insect monsters with Komoda Dragons and one or two Blue-Eyes, or replace your Dragons with cards like Pinch Hopper and Insect Imitation. But again, it might not get you very far in Ranked.

I recommend you to play, if possible, a combo of Horus and Silent Magician. You can run something like this:

2x Silent magician LV4
1x silent magician LV8
3x Horus LV4
2x Horus LV6
1x Horus LV8
3x LV Up!

Also you can add a second SM LV8 to make this better, but if you are F2P, maybe you don´t want to reset the box.
The other cards may be a pair of monsters with 1800 atk and some traps like DW.

Level Up is not that good with Ultimate Insect, because you'll lose the effect of reduced ATK/DEF. Powerful Rebirth and Impenetrable Attac are far better because you can protect them (and Dragon LVL3) until your next Standby Phase to activate their effect. Add 4 of them (2 - 2 or 1 - 3). Straight Flush is useless in many duels.

Hi, I recently got back into duel links and saw a lot of new stuff! I stopped playing a bit after synchro got released and wondered if I should invest in XYZ cards or if there is better stuff for other types of summoning, such as a neo deck or archfiend that I have been seen going around.

it's always a good thing to spend money for games like Duel Links, you help japanese managerz to get their daily cocaine dose and support all their escorts, so they can develop the game we love.

If you don’t mind the risk, Elements Unite! Gives you the materials at the cost of only starting with Gate Guardian for a hand and 500 LP. It’s not great, but hilarious when it works.

Paradox Brother 3 level 7 monster on your field and 1 card in your hand. My advice is to create a deck full of can cer trap, such as Karma, Raigeki, Floodgate, Void and Network Trap Hole, Chain, Canadia etc...

I run 2 sage and 1 spirit and works fine. Also I use cloudcastle (a common card) as an alternative of spirit. Once spirit is gone, I summon cloudcastle and resummon spirit. Didn't want to ho second time through judgement force since getting 1 spirit was in the last 20 packs. After all, in a duel you will rarely need to resummon spirit. Usually, after spirit-azure, vermilion will be you next pick.

This conversation paid off, just got to DLV MAx today, new account (5 days only). Blue eyes is so bricky but still it's strong.

Well done man! Now you should try your best in kc cup and w8 for banlist when the kc cups ends. Then you can decide whether you want to keep investing on blue eyes or make a new deck. Dont waste your gems now. Keep in mind you are a new player and after a banlist the meta usually changes completely.

So tomorrow is the 4th day of my account.I will be exchanging 2 SR dream ticket for karma cut. It turns out with cheaper priced packs in terms of gems (25 gems each) and the dream tickets you can build a very strong Blue eyes deck as a f2p for only playing in 4 days with 3x cards of consonance and 3 time stone of legend. You have to be lucky in the sage box though or you'll need to grind more than I did.
