Discussion [Feedback] EVERYONE GET IN HERE! Subreddit Update Megathread
Hello, fellow Master Duel rejectors! Your community Moderators (or what's left of us) have come with good news: we're gonna update the Subreddit this weekend! Beyond just doing a few visual and information-related tweaks here and there, we also need to revisit the current community rules and modify them as needed. This is where you come in... you's gonna help us.

We'd like you to provide suggestions on what rules seem overly restrictive, what rules need to be enforced more often, or if something needs to be added or removed entirely. With that being said, I'll be here to either agree with your proposition or debate you out of it. We're going to take all feedback seriously, but we're not going to just roll over and remove necessary rules, such as Rule 2-A (the one that prevents people from posting things unrelated to Duel Links, such as the latest episode of Spy Family or posts about politics) just because someone leaves an upvoted comment wanting it gone. Be reasonable in your suggestions, please.
Speaking of rules, there will be Mod recruitments coming up soon to help manage the Subreddit, but that'll be part of a separate post.
Finally, if there are any changes you want done to the Subreddit's appearance or functionality itself, feel free to drop them here. While we can't guarantee we can implement it (e.g., some Subreddits have AI agents that respond to certain posts with customized messages assisting that specific user, and that's a tall order to set up on Duel Links), it doesn't hurt to ask!
Begin!

Discussion How was it back then?
Tell me. I need to know. Was it better..or worse? Was Axe Raider and Jerry really meta back then? Was spher kuriboh really just a staple? Were the NPCS really threats?..how was Duel Links in the beginning?

Man this shi took way to long but it was satisfying.
Here is the deck list if y'all wanna try it
https://duellinks.konami.net/att/001ca0851c60932b2d640a46b0b3a7ba39638dec89
But keep in mind this combo is not consistent and it will take you so many time to do it right its better to do it on assist duel.

Discussion Im curious if anyone has noticed this about Jaden/Yubel
They use cards that arent even in the game yet!
I've been trying to get the new elemental hero cards by dueling and ive seen a couple cards that you cant even obtain being used and it just shocked me a little bit.

Fluff Look how they massacred my boy
The voice lines for alt art Zane suck. Original ones had more taste, sounded more effective.
BUT THE WORST PART:
He forgot how to count his biggest finisher's attacks!
If you play Overdragon with original Hell Kaiser, he says
"Chimeratech Overdragon, attack! Evolution Result Burst", "Twice in a row!", "Three times!", "Four times!"
Now it's gone

Discussion How to play Timelords in 2026?
Yes, I'm one of those players.
I played timelords every since they were released in Duel links (I think it was in the spring of 22') until I had a yugioh fatigue somewhere in 2025.
I LOVE TIMELORDS. Also I think that Yusei vs Z-one is on the best (if not the best) anime duels in all of Yu-Gi-Oh duels.
When I returned playing duel links earlier this years, "forbidden droplet" has already been released, which is one of the biggest achiles heel in this deck. one forbidden droplet and you're left basically open to attacks with full attack damage. "Rainbow Life" is also limited to just 1 copy.
Is timelords still playable in 2026? How to upgrade a timelord deck so it can still be competitive?

Discussion im not even pulling packs for the ultra rares i just need the car
why did they make f.a dawn dragster exclusive to this pack i have thrown away so many of my f2p gems at this box only to get NOTHING

Discussion death, taxes and getting scammed by konami
genuine question, should I stop marking cards I want to obtain as favorites? Because it is getting ridiculous with me pulling legit almost every other card twice before getting the ones I need. similar thing happened in another Selection box, got the ip masqerina in the very last pack of course. is there something shady going on when i mark cards as favorites or is it really just bad luck?
r/DuelLinks • u/Sirknight_JCB • 31m ago
Discussion Should I Pull or Should I Wait?
As much as I despise the P2W Boxes that are Selection Boxes, I see so many Decks on ladder that have "S:P Little Knight" already.
However, should I wait when some of its exclusive cards become public in a Main/Mini Box, or should I try it out anyway?
r/DuelLinks • u/tben_02 • 1h ago

Discussion Are skills really more broken than ever?
This is a bit of a crackpot theory, but a discussion on old metas recently had me wondering something: are skills really more broken now or do they just feel that way thanks to the added bells and whistles?
For example take the Balance skill or Harpies Skills, which to this day bear nerfs from their time committing war crimes on the ladder.
Playing against someone running those skills in their day was no less a death sentence than seeing Quasars a few months back, but it felt less OP because the skill did so much less in terms of moving pieces.
No adding cards or summoning anything to the field etc. At the time though a guaranteed starting hand or a field spell set for free was an often insurmountable advantage.
Skills look daunting to watch now, an opponent playing Quasar dragons from thin air just seems like a lot, but we have Branded and Mementos in the game.
So what do you all think? Are skills genuinely more impactful now or are they just more complicated in the same way modern cards and decks are?
r/DuelLinks • u/Raonair • 5h ago
Discussion What makes more sense?
I'm always thinking about what decks to give characters without ties to any archetype, either through skills or through level-up rewards/drop rewards/voice lines.
What do you guys think makes the most sense, fitting these characters with archive skills (that may not fit their character but at least there's a dedicated deck) or trying to use something that has no specific skill, either through the character's very specific skills or generic skills?
Right now, for example, I'm giving Aromas to both Rebecca, they synergize with Fire Princess Tactics, and Luna, cause Plant's Exchange is the only skill of hers that I got and could synergies with something. I'd like to give something else to Luna though. Maybe Rikka or Sylvan.
