It was like that from the very beginning 3 copies of mirror wall and 3 copies of sphere were mandatory and let's not talk of how p2w the relinquished meta deck was
Not true at all. Nowadays you can literally make a f2p harpie deck with all of the Cards coming from the same mini literally less than 5000 gems and ull definitely reach king of games at the last weeks of the season
Harpie f2p less than 5000 gems: KoG confirmed. This game is not P2W. Only if u are aiming to be top 1000 in KC cup or win discord tournaments it becomes p2w. koG is easy as 🔥 to reach and theres plenty of cheap decks to do so.
Duel links 3-4 years ago you just need card from 1 box at worse 2 boxes
most of card from tier decks that time were f2p from events or character reward
actually to make a deck you need open 1 or n most of cases 2 boxes to get only the archetype cards
NO TO METION UR TRAPS/SPELL STAPLES FROM MUTIPLE BOXES
AND OF COURSE EXTRA DECKS (XYZ,SYNCHRO AND FUSIONS) FROM MUTIPLE BOXES
Duel Links WAS a F2P
How you play free to play Harpie deck against Onomats and Thunder dragons? There is no way to win without Book of moon against some Xyz monsters. Going second against Gaia it is also auto lose. Harpies also unfavored against Blue eyes.
You find more of the f2p versions of onomat, td than the whale versions you know? If you missing cards your opponent probably is missing a few too, it's not like everyone has the fully optimized versions of meta decks except you
Man, players still get to KoG with 100% f2p lunalights that doesnt even run fire-formation tenki. You just need to spent a little more time in ranked duels. Thats all.
