2. News
– [0:02:20]: This Week in Esports
DLM Weekly #219
- 1st – Kuyahurtz w/ Sealed Tombs Abyss Actor: The pure Abyss Actor deck list is taking shape as a meta deck. We’re starting to see some anti-GY tech cards again, with Necrovalley, Skull Meister, and the skill being Sealed Tombs.
- 2nd – zenzoh w/ Phantom Strategy Phantom Knights: This is a very clear-cut decklist, pretty much running the same necessary cards with some back row modifications.
- Top 4 – Drizzels w/ Destiny Draw Magnet Warriors: Monster Reborn in Magnet Warriors is pretty good.
- Top 4 – Alcoholic w/ Phantom Strategy Phantom Knights: Almost an identical deck list to the previously shown list.
Duel Links Lounge Presents: Millennium Cup #33
- 1st – Mako tsunami w/ Set! Delta Accel! T.G.: We see a new card in The Phantom Knights of Tomb Shield, a card that can negate trap cards.
- 2nd – Figer85 w/ Phantom Strategy Phantom Knights: This deck runs fewer Kagemucha Knight, and a bunch of different cards for back row, or spell removal.
- Top 4 – trentwik w/ Light Barrier Noble Knight: This deck looks about the same. The 1x Forbidden Lance is something you didn’t really see before, in a deck that runs 3x Glory.
- Top 4 – “Goes” w/ Phantom Strategy Phantom Knight: Nothing notable here!
– [0:06:26] Duel Links Meta Power Rankings
- Tier 1: Phantom Knights (28.2)
- Tier 2: Deskbots (9.6), Harpies (7.9)
- Tier 3: Satellarknights (5.8), Cyber Dragon (5.3), Buster Blader (4.9)
- Off List: Ritual Beast, Abyss Actors
– [0:08:08] Wave Duel Scramble
- Bownty: This quick play is a little situational, requiring your monster to win a battle, and to have a card in the GY to recoup. Given there is no main phase 2 in Duel Links, and you aren’t allowed to use the card in the next turn, Bownty is only useful if you expect on playing another turn. This makes me think this card is most useful for some sort of hand trap you can use to counter the opponent during their next turn. I’m not sure if the situational nature of this card makes it all that playable, but it isn’t a bad card at all.
- Unwavering Bond: This is a pretty good f2p card for anti-Pendulum. While all-purpose negation traps could have more use over this, this has a nuance of negate and banish. Further, this is a better side deck card in limited tournament formats, where you likely will see a top Pendulum archetype down the line. Don’t sleep on this trap!
– [0:14:12] Sora Perse
- Fluffal Crane: If this archetype works by getting destroyed for effects, this is a pretty good card. Basically a +1, as you’ll be getting back your destroyed card for a card draw.
- Fluffal Leo: Nothing special, just a 1600 who becomes 2100 when attacking, and not the other way around. We’ve seen better cards, and this card only exists to provide archetypal synergy if anything.
