If you're playing multiplayer, could your opponent tell if you have a quickplay spell/general use trap or not based whether you spend time on the prompts?

Yeah. If it pauses their turn to ask you if you want to use your facedown when they summon a monster for example, they'll know it's not Mirror Force.

How does deck building work in this game? Can you choose any cards you want or do you have to unlock them?

You unlock cards from boosters or from battling the cpu then you can use them you also unlock more boosters by clearing the story modes

Man, some of these packs are annoying as heck. Jack's booster for example has like six different archetypes in it! How am I supposed to get my cute little Watts with all of these other cards popping in?! >=[]
You could always just duel against Broder in the 5D's duelist challenge. He has a Watt deck.

You are my hero.
I haven't done duelist challenge yet.. does it net you a bunch of cards? Or just one from that npc?
You get 3 cards from their deck if you win and 1 if you lose, and you can duel them as many times as you want.

You get one if you lose or three if you win, so you can just grind it out or keep surrendering until you get all their cards
I got it from Mai's pack today, so yes, you're just unlucky.
I'm coming back to this game for the first time since forever. Synchro summons were the new thing the kids were doing when I stoped paying attention to the game, barely learnt how to use them, felt old and stoped playing sortly after.
Now got this out of pure nostalgia and what is all this, omg. Xyz? Pendulum what? NOW I feel old. I'm enjoying remembering my old and obsolete decks though, so I'll try to adapt to the new mechanics. I like that the campaing goes very little by little with them, so I'm not overwhelmed at the start.

A lot of old decks got update. Old archetypes like Harpies, Agents, Red Eyes, BLS (they turned him into archetypes with new support) and etc, a lot of them were made viable to fit in with the new summoning mechanics.
http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Archetypes
^Check up some of the old and new archetypes and see if any might interest you.
So with banned cards like graceful charity, are they not allowed in online play? I don't have PS plus yet and can't test ranked matches online. Banned cards are clearly marked. Just wondering if they're allowed.
Edit: Question #2: I want to build a Sanctuary in the Sky themed deck. I guess Bakura is the only person that could offer me useful booster packs for that. Any other character that offers good light-type monsters?

from the little time i played, in ranked as one would expect they're out
in player matches you can use them if you're joining a game, when I was host I couldn't use banned cards
Okay. That's good. I am actually happy with this.
Kite Tenjo, Luna and Yuzu (Pendulum Pack) come to mind
So far, the only annoying aspect of this game is having to constantly decline when you don't want to use a trap card. Wish there was a better way they had implemented that. Like maybe assign trap card activation to a specific button.
Awesome. Thanks.
Awesome. Thanks.

You can edit that is the Settings menu. I recommend turning it to Simple until you're an expert at the game.
Maybe put this in the OP, Fj? It seems to get mentioned a lot.
After playing with Crow's Blackwings for a bit, I'm really starting to like them. Is the Blackwing archtype viable at all?

The commentary makes the whole thing so good.
Hold down circle to skip the prompt. Or change it in settings.
SkullHydra
Member
Nope, you keep drawing them from the packs, it just doesn't add more copies to your trunk. Lol.
As far as I know, at least.
Blackwings aren't the best at the moment, but they're decent enough.

Made my second deck (I'll probably refine it further later, since I wouldn't call it done yet, and the same is true for my Qli deck). I really like this one, and I want to try it out against a human opponent. Unfortunately, I got kicked off the tv my PS4 is hooked up to right now, so I'll have to wait before I can play any of you with it. Likely until tomorrow

Blackwings aren't really a tier deck back in Jan 2015. But right now during the current list they are one of the "rogue" decks of the format.
Since the banlist is based on Jan 2015. Here's the top tier decks for that banlist period [From Pojo]
Tier 1
Burning Abyss
Qliphort
Tier 2
Shaddoll
Satellarknight
Tier 3
Volcanic
Rogue
Evilswarm
Geargia
Batteryman
Mermail
Noble Knight
The tier list was based on on tournaments results (explain more in-details in the thread I linked)
Aaronrules380
Member
What do they mean by Rogue? Also, worth noting that people are having a hard time finding tellarknights in the game right now for whatever reason
Also the list you gave is different from the sites. You forgot nekroz at tier 1, and Burning abyss is tier 2, with everything else one tier lower as well

Batterymen are good now? =O I've always wanted to make a Battery deck, so now's my chance!

The list I posted was from the start of the banlist http://www.pojo.biz/board/showthread.php?t=1209536
The link I posted in my original post was the 2nd part where it was nearing towards the of the format. Sorry about that and rogue decks mean that its deck that does well in Tournaments.
The tiers are formed under these conditions:
YCS/Continental Win = 4 points
YCS/Continental Top = 3 Points
ARGCS/CCGCS Top = 2 Points
Regional/National/ARGMS Top* = 1 Point
65% or more of the meta - Tier 0
15-65% - Tier 1
5-15% - Tier 2
1-5% - Tier 3
Less than 1% - Rogue
Which means they are good enough decks to stand up against the meta but aren't really that popular enough to move up the tiers because of how much Tier 1/2 decks dominates the tournament scene.
batteryman was doing well at the start of the Jan 2015. I seen a handful of batteryman decks in my locals when I used to come for Vanguard Tournaments while watching YGO tournaments after. Although they were overshadowed by other decks mid-way through the format.

It used to be considered overpowered, but I think newer archetypes overshadow them nowadays. They are getting a lot of new support in the near future though, (high speed riders pack which comes out in real life in october). I'm not confident the game will last long enough for them to come here as dlc for this game, and I have no idea how good the new support actually is
Edit: Wait sorry, they come out in dimensions of chaos in November, not high speed riders

Anyone know where i can find D.D cards? (D.D Survivor, Warrior, Warrior Lady, etc..)?

I love Silent Swordsman Lv. 5. I need to get the rest of the Silent Swordsman cards I only have 3 and 5.
I was doing reverse duels with my Warrior Deck and Yugi kept using Swords of Revealing Light. Silent Swordsman Lv.5 just ignores the effect of SoRL and lets me attack.
He was just throwing cards away with Card Destruction and letting me just get free attacks. The heart of the cards had no effect on me.

God, I think my favorite thing about jumping into YGO again are all of the terrible fucking names there are now. Shaddoll? Qliphort? Geargia? They all sound like crazy street drugs that are only in Russia right now or something.
It really adds to the charm/"story" of the game.

Yo, who made Ushio/Trudge the truth in this game? I mean, his actual dueling is garbage but his booster pack? Karakuri, Six Samurai, and Dragon Rulers?! I keep meaning to buy from other characters but...why bother lmao?

I'll have to give them both a shot. Thanks for the info, guys.

You attempted an attack on Tyr of Nordic Champions which is a "Nordic" Card
It has 2000 ATK - http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Tyr_of_the_Nordic_Champions
The opponent reacted to your attack and used the trap card of
Nordic Relic Megingjord - http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Nordic_Relic_Megingjord
Target 1 "Aesir" or "Nordic" monster you control; its ATK and DEF each become double its original ATK and DEF, until the end of this turn, but it cannot attack your opponent directly this turn.
In short your 3000 ATK Red Dragon Archfiend got destroyed by a 4000 atk Tyr of Nordic Champions because of that trap effect. It couldn't attack directly, but it countered the attack you committed to.

I know that, I just meant the glitch that happen when Red Dragon attack animation happen, that is all
Aaronrules380

It seems like whenever you attack a monster with certain iconic monsters they'll do the animation (Unless the duel is ended by the attack), and this happens regardless of whether you actually win the fight. It's also triggered by the name, so for instance if you use Neos Alius's gemini effect to make it's name Elemental Hero Neos, it'll perform the Neos animation when it attacks
@ OP
I think you should add this video explaining pendulum summons in your description. Made it a lot easier for me to understand.
TBH, this pendulum stuff seems very overpowered especially when you can have a deck consisting of a lot of pendulum monsters that you can keep summoning and re-summoning from your extra deck.

It does seem OP at times, especially when you're just starting out, but it's not nearly as OP as it looks. It can be stopped very easily with a myriad of S/T destruction cards, or mass summoning negation/Bottomless Trap Hole.
Provided I don't destroy the cards in your zones. Which is very easy to do..
I use a dedicated Pendulum Deck, it can use Fusion, Synchro, Xyz and Pendulum in the same turn....and Nekroz (Rituals) still kick my ass
SkullHydra
Member
But don't Nekroz wreck literally everything though?
Aaronrules380

Plus a lot of meta decks have specific methods of dealing with special summoned monsters. And since pendulum summons are special summons, that can be an issue
