Remember when that was Tier 1? Only 20 boxes ago | Red-Eyes: deck recipe [Feb 2] - YuGiOh! Duel Links

I think a few cards could turn the tide (before its too late). Like meteor black comet dragon, fang with chain, red-eyes burn, lord of the red.

Alternative black dragon can be good if we really get zexal this year, and eventually flare metal dragon :)

Red eyes deck is already very good. Meta version or not. The problem is that the other decks are too unbalanced. Red Eyes is among my favourite but when Konami invented FL Every I wonder what they were smoking.
Sometimes I avoid using Slash dragon because it feels like bullying. Then my opponent uses an even more broken card and I regret being nice.
DL is for friendless not nice guys indeed.

I agree, everything that is stronger than current Red-Eyes is either Overpowered or Unbalanced. What is that company doing? Are they trying to bury their own game?

If they decide to release other red eyes fusion, this will break the meta.
Believe me the one who will use it wont be red eyes user, but stall burn user instead

Subarishi!!

I agree though that current Red-Eyes archetype is closest to what I would called balanced, even if it is a popular archetype.

Instead of releasing new PURCHASABLE cards to buff it, it would make more sense to instead nerf or limit everything stronger than Red-Eyes until the win-loss ratio between both is around 40%-60%.

Maybe fang with chains can bring RE back to the meta, as the circle did with DM

Its great, fang with chains is not THAT game changing to others abuse it, and would give the option to red-eyes get rid of strong beaters it normally cant and bring it back to meta. plus it's a trap, so its slow enough

I don't know, to play the burn fusion you need brick cards, and in a stall deck it wouldn't be good

Balanced? look at DLM decks and you'll see ONE red-eyes deck in KOG, while 60+ witches, 60+ DM, 50+ shiranuis, not talking the other decks

That's the point. There is only 1 Red-Eyes because it is the most balanced among the "better than average decks". Those other decks are comparatively overpowered, thus unbalanced.

If you nerf those decks until they can't win >55-60% games vs RE then all the other weaker decks will see more play.

Indeed. The top decks are like playing a completely different game, it's not even fun to play against. No chance for other decks especially this one with so many summoning limitations.

Its because how red eyes fusion work. It wont bricky as it seems.
In TCG many deck even play it just because dragun of red eyes effect.

TCG in the first year: Set a monster with 2000 DEF and one trap as your opening turn

TCG in the last year: Draw / Mill half of your deck and end up with 4+ monsters on your field as your opening turn

Duel Links has a similar destiny than TCG

And the worst part is when some people start viewing this as normal.

This makes me remember my friends who all quit the TCG. Konami doesn't learn from its failures.

Tcg changed, its not bad to use half your deck turn 1 so every card you put in the deck matters, differently from old game where you play 10 cards of your deck and ignores the other 30

Plus the game turned to be something like this: the first player sets the defense, the second player need to go through it. Thats the game.
