Grandpa Yugi's Stall / Exodia deck is pretty crazy, the one Yugi uses against Kaiba. Heart of the Underdog and Sangan with Swords of Revealing Light is a hell of a combination to get Exodia out quick.

Also Kaiba's deck is pretty interesting because in the Anime he draws three BEWDs in a single turn which is normally against the rules, However this is actually possible in this deck with Ancient Rules that lets you instantly special summon a Level 5 or higher card from your hand to the field.

Of course Yugi has Torrential Tribute or Raigeki to shut that shit down.

Oddly that just happened to me Kaiba with Ancient Rules + Blue Eyes White Dragon, my next turn I get Raigeki.

If I used Jaden's Deck I would lose.

-

Wait, I didnt know Heart of the Underdog can be chained together.

Downloading now. Hopefully this game holds me, if it doesn't hold me...hold me

I tried this in Dual Arena, mainly playing against the CPU but I reached a point where their decks were just too good.

What about the CPU from the earlier TV show seasons in this game, were they retroactively given cards with the new mechanics ?

Haven't seen any with the new mechanics so far, but Mai's deck has definitely been improved with newer harpies.

Black Luster got a lot of new powerful cards
even a Black Luster Super Soldier

but he's not in this game as he is new!

But can they attack twice or remove a card from play like envoy the beginning could? Envoy the Beginning is god like yo

No, but the 'baby' BLS can! XD

English
You can only use each effect of "Knight of the Beginning" once per turn. If this card in the Graveyard is banished: You can add 1 Ritual Spell Card from your Deck to your hand. A "Black Luster Soldier" monster Ritual Summoned using this card gains these effects.
● Once per turn: You can target 1 monster your opponent controls; banish it.
● When this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard: You can activate this effect; this card can make a second attack in a row.

Spoiler

It only has 500 atk.

The starting card pool seems quite strong. Not sure if it's random or not.

Basically, I looked for

-Multiple pieces of monster removal. 3x Fissure, Dark Hole, and Mirror Force fit the bill nicely.

-Multiple pieces of spell/trap removal. You should have some Breaker the Magical Warriors and Dust Tornados to use.

-Rush Recklessly is an incredible combat trick that can function as a piece of removal on either player's turn.

-If you see any spell/trap cards that look amazing, like Monster Reborn or Pot of Greed, you should probably use them (though keep in mind that not all cards are legal for multiplayer against humans).

-Cards that lose you advantage are probably bad news (example: a card that requires you to discard a card to destroy a monster. You're trading two cards for one of their, which isn't ideal. Something like Fissure is a 1-for-1 instead, and much better for you in most cases).

-Be wary of using more than three or four 5-6 star monsters - they suck ass when drawn at a bad time. Avoid 7+ star monsters at all costs unless you have a way to consistently cheat them into play with tributing.

-You probably don't want more than 20 monsters total. 18 has always been a solid number for me.

-Don't think too hard about your starting monster pool. Just have a good number of 1800+ ATK cards....

-...though you should be on the lookout for useful effect monsters such as Man-Eater Bug.

-Don't go over 40 cards in your deck.

Things get more complicated when employing more advanced strategies, but that should get you started with the beginning card pool.

One of my favorite features with the PSP Tag Force titles was the awesome Card Album.

Unfortunately there is no such option for Legacy of the Duelist. The best you can do is check the card details option and that get a somewhat closer look.

Unfortunately all of the cards artwork is covered up with this horrible watermark.

It's almost as if they expect people to hack into the game and steal the artwork from the cards, which is kind of stupid because one can simply go to the Yu-Gi-Oh wikia and get high res renders of the actual card artworks if they really wanted them. The watermark is entirely pointless and doesn't serve any purpose but to marr the artwork of the cards in the game.

Is there a demo or video that shows this? Im super casual about card games and basically play to look at artwork. I enjoy looking at certain fantasy themes more than the actual gameplay mechanics although I enjoy that on a certain level otherwise I wouldnt play. I bought one Yu Gi Oh game years ago and never went back just because I couldn't read the text on the card itself.

 

[Luke_Wal]

What's the latest set this game goes up to? And have they said if future packs will be added upon release, free or paid?

 

[lcap]

Is this one something like the old GBA games? It's one of the few games in my life I've surely put more than 100 hours onto.

 

[Niosai]

I don't know if this has been asked, but are all of the cards available in the game possible to get with the in-game currency?

 

[Blurry15]

Downloading the Demo now just to try it out. I noticed there was DLC already. Does anyone know how much content the DLC has? In other words is it a decent amount? I ask because it kinda seems like Konami decided to make parts of the Game DLC in order to sell the game at a cheaper price. So I guess my main question is, is this game worth $40 (i.e game and all current DLC)?

 

[Hero Prinny]

No, but the 'baby' BLS can! XD

nah that card is garbage then. the most godly card in yu gi oh, all hail envoy the beginning, i have no knowledge of the newer gimmicks after 5Ds but i bet you my boy will eat that shit and beat all of em still

 

[Sandfox]

BLS is still a nice card.

I don't know if this has been asked, but are all of the cards available in the game possible to get with the in-game currency?

There is no other way to buy cards other than the ingame currency and they give you a lot per duel.

I don't think the current DLC is all that important unless you really want those scenarios. The day one DLC doesn't contain cards.

Well remember that the little knight gives its effects to the ritual monsters, and if you read the card it doesn't give of the limitations envoy has. He can banish a monster, then attack, destroy a monster and attack again

a regular envoy can only do one of those per turn

also the knight is light, and has a dark pair with the same effect, if you banish then both to summon your normal envoy, their second effects will activate and you get a free ritual monster and spell card too.

That's hardly what Id call garbage, remember, The game has evolved beyond just big monsters, little monsters can combine with otherwise useless cards like ritual Black Luster, creating amazing combos

 

[ZeroX03]

It amazes me how rubbish Yugi's deck is, I thought I'd give it a shot....gosh what a struggle.

The story decks have a severe lack of removal. I wouldn't recommend using them unless you really want a handicap.

This is a big part of why the game seems so foreign to me these days. I played it before GX was a thing, archtypes were a thing but they weren't a huge focus. Beatsticks with powerful effects were king. Seems like the game is all about archtypes and specific card combos now.

 

[Korezo]

Does the base game come with all the campaigns or are the DLC sold to unlock the other campaigns after the original? I don't get what the ot explanation means.

 

[ArchedThunder]

Is there any way to change the card art in this game like in Decade Duels, or is every card stuck with one art?

 

[OmegaDL50]

Does the base game come with all the campaigns or are the DLC sold to unlock the other campaigns after the original? I don't get what the ot explanation means.

There is four additional story add-ons for the game. Over and above what is already included in the base game.

The DLC out right now isn't card packs but more story stuff and campaign duels.

Hopefully they will eventually expand the card roster to the current July 16th banlist, but who knows.

 

[Blurry15]

I'm not that great at the Yugioh metagame so I find being able to use the decks of the characters from the anime (or at least some kind of rendition of it) to be pretty fun. I gotta say this game is looking like a real step up from Millennium Duels.

 

[Korezo]

Does this game have 3d animations of the cards like that pic of the Dark Magician attacking? The demo didn't have any.

For signature cards, yes.

 

[Kyuur]

Downloading now. I haven't touched Yugioh in years but I remember enjoying the GBA game and drafting is always fun. Drafting/sealed isn't behind any kind of paywall, right? In game currency only, even for online play?

 

[ZeroX03]

I defeated Weevil because he ran out of cards, otherwise it was a downhill battle. I then created my own deck, and now I'm destroying the campaign.

There's no paywall.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

Screw it.

I took one look at a video and bought everything possible. I am such a card game whore. I do this crap all the time.

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

That's frustrating. So there's no way to know if you have everything from a pack?

not that I'm aware of, no

 

[LordBaztion]

Oh BLS memories, IOC. I remember back then I had a deck with 3 thunder dragon, it's fusion, great maju Garzet, ring of destruction and chaos sorcerer. So much fun.

 

[Crimsonlink]

Game is bought, I'm so weak to YGO lol.

Can't wait to have some duels, (after story mode that is) add me on PSN

Hope I can make an Agents deck in this, since I haven't really cared about Yugioh since that period.

Hyperion, Kristya we back baby

 

[Sandfox]

Well I'm not beating that Amazoness scenerio with the default deck lol.

This should also include Uranus right?

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Is there a way to skip the tutorial battles? They make me want to slit my wrists with how bad they teach you to play.

Edit: OH MY FUCKING GOD THIS CONSTANT ASKING OF YOU ACTIVATING AN EFFECT IS INFURIATING. I don't remember it being this annoying on GBA.

 

[Sandfox]

I pulled one so its definitely in.

You can adjust that in the settings.

YESSSSSS

Thanks for that, didn't even think it would be there.

 

[Sandfox]

From now on I'm going to be making a list of the archetypes and notable pulls I notice from each pack as I buy and build.

 

[Nori Chan]

Wait, I didnt know Heart of the Underdog can be chained together.

As you can see, there are three of them on the field and that's how I won lol

Lol, I won using two of them. Was pretty funny

 

[Korezo]

I don't know what I did, but each turn I got like 5 cards and because of it I was able to summon full Exodia.

 

[SkullHydra]

Man, I love how fast you get cards in this game! Even when you lose a duel, you still get enough points to buy several packs of cards.

Now if only you could buy packs in bulk...

 

[Stider]

Just an FYI, the battle packs (sealed and draft) cost 2000 to enter and are a 5 match affair, losing 3 can finish it early. You keep the cards once done.

Are Xyz common in the draft/sealed games?

I haven't played them. But my crappy deck would really benefit from Utopia and Leviathan Dragon as I use several level 4's and level 3's

 

[Phoenixus]

Caved in and bought it. Works so well with offtv vita play! Is there a checklist of sorts for the booster packs? Kinda annoying not knowing what's left to get. :/
