Important to note is the release limit of some of the cards as seen in the images.
It can be confirmed that the following will be Limited to 3 (Only 3 cards among the limited 3 pool of cards can be included in the deck) on release;
UR – Multistrike Dragon Dragias
UR – Yamiruler the Dark Delayer
SR – Torna the Windweaver
Dragias and Yamiruler limited to 3 in Duel Links.
Those who played Rush Duels from the beginning: DIVINE JUSTICE!
At least there will no longer be hybrid Decks with Dragias and Yamiruler at the beginning (I wouldn’t be surprised to see more limits like this in the future)
The funniest thing here:
– Dragon Decks get their “Dark Hole at home” with Dragonic Pressure.
– F for pure Spellcasters Decks. Dark Revelation is not a 1-day option in Rush Duels: which changes things a lot.
The Level Ups are still missing (It has been confirmed that Yuga receives Accel Wonder Supra, so there are still a handful of extra cards to be revealed)
Reddit post as always. How do you manage to write so much and say so little at the same time?
Forgetting dragoncasters? Did you even play at the beginning? It was a hybrid dragon/spellcaster mix that dominated the meta for a good while (and even now with sevensgias decks but thats besides the point). The yameruler lock was slow up until character pack and only improved from there little by little. Even then it got inched out as time went on.
There’s barely any support for Yameruler in duel links atm without looking at potential skills yet so that’s out. No “divine justice” there.
Dragonic Pressure isnt even “dark hole at home” btw.
Staggers the mind.
I appreciate the push from usual Yu-Gi-Oh! influencers by Konami to try to make Rush Duel a thing outside of Asia. I’m afraid that the kiddie aesthetic and hyper focus on Rush compared to Speed format will turn off the audience.
I do hope people give this format a try – it is surprisingly really fun and complex.
Rarities aside I am so glad Dragias and Yamiruler start out on the list – both are very intimidating especially with the limited card pool. I also like the push for Dragonic Slayer with the new Skill and MRP2 support to compensate for Dragias being on the list as an alternative boss for Dragons.
Some of the rarities do concern me though. Celtic and Winged Dragon are both SR when they are weaker than Gazelle and Masaki, both R. Especially as the game will evolve beyond Level 4 vanilla beatdown, it feels like a weird kick in the shin for anyone coming in from Master/Speed Duel to see DM nostalgia cards overvalued.
I hadn’t thought about it at first, but there are not a lot of Spell cards, and almost no Trap cards in this first set. Jar of Greed is the only one I’d identified, which is pretty underwhelming as a Trap.
Most Spells/Traps even during the earliest days of the game are very niche or only work with a specific deck due to Type, Attribute, and Level restrictions on their requirements. There also just weren’t as many Spells/Traps printed as monsters in the first few sets (about 15-20 cards for both combined for a 50-60 card set).
Generic Spells/Traps that were actually good were very hard to come by. If the game is trying to invite new or seasoned players into the Rush format, the last thing we need are niche cards like One-Side Reverse or Double Block that nobody would ever use. Most modern staples just aren’t here yet.
Once we get more characters, their corresponding cards will also be made available in Duel Links.
I’m not surprised they’re holding off on Dark Revelation for now. Possibly for as long as they can.
Based on how they evolved with designed cards in early Rush Duel, the feeling was evident that they felt making Dark Revelation as they did was a big mistake.
Yeah, given the fact that it is a Mirror Force for Spellcasters in the first inception of RD. Should be a sign for Konami that they should and will be extra careful when they releasing cards in the Sevens World for DL.
