Whoa, Gofu gives you a free Link Spider

Also, according to this Link Summoning should be coming to the TCG on July 21

It also gives you a 1 card Decode Talker since you can summon spider, SS a normal monster to the zone linked to it, then send Gofu, the Spider and the 2nd token to grave to summon Talker.

You now have Talker and a Vanilla material to set up a synchro,xyz or even more Links. And you haven't even used your normal summon.

Well, that's assuming you set and activate Scapegoat during your opponent's end phase, or do it during your previous turn and hope they don't kill all the tokens, Even I forgot that you can't summon other monsters the turn you activate it.

Now about that Link Dragon, that effect is pretty good. And the card artwork, drool...

You need to set Scapegoat and use it on your opponent's end phase. another good option is to use Gofu but that got limited.

Or if you run vanilla,you can just let one token die since you can summon link spider and SS the missing material.

But yeah, It is a really cool card with a really cool artwork.

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

The ace monster this time is another Dragon, but it's technically not a Dragon >.>

I like the parallels Yusaka's Link monsters have with Yusei's Synchros.

Firewall Dragon = Stardust Dragon (2500 Attack)
Decode Talker = Junk Warrior (2300 Attack)

I don't think Firewall is gonna be as much as a game changer as Stardust.

Stardust was so good people had to look for ways other than destroying for removing monsters. Changing the Game forever.

Ignoring the fact that Konami fucked all other mechanics to make Links insta relevant, Firewall gives you one extra zone if summoned to the Extra monster zone and another one to your opponent.

You need to get him in a Main Monster Zone to truly get it to shine (as it will be capable of bouncing up to 3 monster),Link Summoning him at a cost of 4 monsters in the main zones, is no easy task yet.

But if you do get him in a good position, he's a total boss.

Do your Link Monsters let your opponent summon in their Main Monster Zones? I was under the impression that you can only summon in zones you've linked yourself.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

I like the design of the girl, but isn't this just like Yuya, Yuzu, and Gogenzaka?

 

[Fj0823]

I think so, yes.

There would be no real point in the arrows facing up if that were the case.

As of now, many high Link Level Link monsters have the drawback of giving your opponent more Fusion,Synchro,Xyz,Pendulum and Link options

Edit: Yep, it's as I said

Linked Zones are any Zones that are pointed to by Link Markers on Link Monsters. Any monsters occupying such Zones are considered to be linked to the Link Monster whose Link Marker is pointing to them. If a Main Monster Zone is currently a Linked Zone, a player can Special Summon monsters from their Extra Deck to those Zones.

Will Parallel Twister demand increase after we get Chaos Scepter Blast and Harpie's Feather Duster?

Alot of those that came off the forbidden list have had text changes in the OCG, so expect them to be reflected on future versions of these cards in the TCG.

Rescue Cat

You can send this face-up card you control to the Graveyard; Special Summon 2 Level 3 or lower Beast-Type monsters from your Deck, but they have their effects negated, also they are destroyed during the End Phase. You can only use this effect of "Rescue Cat" once per turn.

Brionac

You can discard any number of cards to the Graveyard, then target the same number of cards your opponent controls; return them to the hand. You can only use this effect of "Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier" once per turn.

Brain Control

Pay 800 LP, then target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls that can be Normal Summoned/Set; take control of that target until the End Phase.

Future Fusion

During your 1st Standby Phase after this card's activation: Reveal 1 Fusion Monster in your Extra Deck and send, from your Main Deck to the Graveyard, the Fusion Materials that are listed on that Fusion Monster Card. During your 2nd Standby Phase after this card's activation: Fusion Summon 1 of that Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck and target it with this card. When this card leaves the field, destroy that target. When that target is destroyed, destroy this card.

Imperial Order

Negate all Spell Card effects on the field. Once per turn, during the Standby Phase, you must pay 700 LP (this is not optional), or this card is destroyed.

Sangan

If this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard: Add 1 monster with 1500 or less ATK from your Deck to your hand, but you cannot activate cards, or the effects of cards, with that name for the rest of this turn. You can only use this effect of "Sangan" once per turn.

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

Yep, these errata'd cards are releasing in Duelist Saga which is releasing the same day that this list takes effect.

 

[The Sum of Zero]

Hmm. Imperial Order + Siegfried in D/D/D...

Won't it negate the LP cost of the Contracts? Then you can switch it off during the rest of your turn with Siegfried.

2 Wisdom Eye really helps Magicians for the link era

Don't know if this is the right place to ask but, I have a huge Yu-Gi-Oh collection stored somewhere because I used to be a huge fan as a young boy. It's been sitting there for awhile and I was wondering if there is somewhere you can determine how much your collection costs to sell it. Is there a website like that?

My secret-rare Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon is apparently $12.99 - $36.99.

I would suggest using TCGplayer instead. It has more stores so more information.

 

[Astral/H3X]

I randomly decided to look at the Legend of Blue Eyes pack section of that site.... and dear god I forgot how shitty the cards were.

Yeah here's a 3 Star fusion monster with no effect.
Like, why bother even having the card period ahah.

The redeemer of all shitty fusions

Edit:
Theres been an update on the Link summon mechanic.

You can steal your opponent's Extra Monster Zone if you build a bridge with your own link monsters between them.

This is the only scenario where you can take control of it.

[HypnoDarkrai]

Crunchyroll adds English dubs of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds and Zexal.

 

[brainzelda]

I've been testing out Zoodiacs with the Ratpier hit and it's definitely a blow. If you have the opportunity to special summon Ratpier with Terrortop or Barrage, I definitely think you should go Tiger King -> Tensu now. The Emeral play is just not as explosive now.

And if you happen to to draw Ratpier with no special summon fallback, man, that's a tough start. I'm honestly not sure what you would do now. I'm thinking that you would just stack to Drident with the 1 rat and not even search the second one.

Best way to shuffle sleeved cards? Pile, riffle or overhand?

It depends on the sleeves. If they are matte I prefer overhand, otherwise pile.

Are link summons beginner friendly?
Played the game when synchos were going on. Just learned xyz and pendulum summoning still confuses me xD

 

[Fj0823]

Link summon is by far the easiest mechanic to pull off.

You just need to send any kind of monsters on the field to the graveyard equal to the Link Level of the Link Monsters, the Link Monster goes to the new Extra Monster Zone

3 random monsters = 1 Link 3 Link Monster

Link Monsters can also be used to summon other Links with a higher Link Level with ease

A link 3 monster + 1 Random monster = 1 Link 4 Link Monsters

Links have no Level, Rank or DEF and can never be placed in any form of defense position.

Link Monster cards have red arrows pointing to the monster card zones, starting in April you can only summon Fusion, Synchros, Xyz and Pendulums from the extra deck into the zones pointed at by Link Monsters (which is a bunch of Bullshit for me)

If you don't have Link Monsters you can only summon 1 synchro/xyz/etc to the new Extra Monster Zone, and cannot replace it until it's removed from there.

This video can help illustrate, but unfortunately it's only subbed in Spanish.

[A.J.]

Link summoning is probably the easiest summoning technique yet. 2 Monsters can be sacrificed to summon a link 2 monster. 3 monsters can be sacrificed to summon a link 3 monster. You can also use a link 2 monsters plus another regular monster to summon a link 3 monster.

Edit: Beaten

Thanks for the help
probs be easier just to play it
the link summoning starter deck is coming this summer right?

Clearly they've gotten so little love that this was absolutely necessary rather than something like having Yugo/Clear Wing and Yuri/Starve Venom to compliment the 2015 OEPD and Dark Rebellion tins and as a way send off the Arc V era
