– [0:12:12] Duel Links Meta Power Rankings
- Tier 1: D/D/D (28.9), Burning Abyss (16.0)
- Tier 2: Odd-Eyes (12.0)
- Tier 3: Gandora (6.7), Nekroz (4.8), Phantom Knights (4.3), Galaxy Photon (4.2)
- Off List:
– [0:13:10] Duel Capsule
- Number 65: Djinn Buster: If you have level 2 Dark monsters, this seems useful. This basically comes with some of the those quick effect negate effects. This only works once though, so a fine play on Turn 1 to prepare for your opponent play.
– [0:15:53] Tag Duel Tournament
- Galaxy Cleric: This card doesn’t seem to be a vital piece for the new Galaxy Photon build, which runs very few monsters. This does seem to fit the older version which actually ran level 4 monsters. This does some later game stuff, like recycling cards and turning that to card advantage.
- Fortune Lady Fire: If anything, this card provides a Level 2 monster, allowing you to run some different leveled Synchro combinations. With Time Passage and Fortune Lady Past, you can get Level 6 and 9 now. This also comes with a handy target, destroy, and burn ability, which can inflict high burn damage.

– [0:28:50] New Structure Deck EX, Ruddy Rose Burning
- Spell of Rose (Duel Skill): This free skill allows you to toss a monster to the GY to tutor any Rose Dragon from the deck. Then you get a Rose Fairy sent to the top of the deck or bottom of the deck. This skill does limit you to using Plant monsters and Synchro monsters in the Extra Deck.
- Ruddy Rose Dragon: The new boss monster that has the appeal of banishing all the cards from the GYs. Just like Black Rose Dragon, this card can blow up the field, but preserves itself. This also comes with a quick effect to be tributed and special summon a Black Rose Dragon from the Extra Deck.
- Basal Rose Shoot: Very strong card that can either special summon monsters from the hand or GY, or be destroyed to resurrect a Black Rose Dragon. So this can act as set up for a Synchro Summon just to get more levels on the board. The more skillful play is to get set to get destroyed by an opponent MST. This can even be destroyed by your own Black Rose Dragon monsters, which will clear the field, and leave you with some power on the board.
- Roxrose Dragon: A level 3 Tuner, this card will specifically tutor Ruddy Rose Witch or Basal Rose Shoot. This card also can recover itself from the GY easily. A strength of this deck is matching up a number of different Synchro levels, so this card chaining into Basal Rose Shoot can allow you to get into the Synchro play of choice.
- Ruddy Rose Witch: This is basically a combo card where you can tutor Witch of the Black Rose, add a monster to the top of the deck, normal summon Witch of the Black Rose, and draw, and summon that monster for free. Rose Fairy, a card added by the Spell of Rose skill, seems to be the choice pick, as you’ll have the cards ready to Synchro Summon Black Rose Dragon.
