attention, duelists!
yeah im doing this again, guess we are gonna have to get used to it.
konami has given us an overview of the events we can expect in may and early june, and I gotta say...eh. they seem to be recycling a lot.
first off, elegant mai will return as a roamer in duel world in early may. I wasnt really keen on her the last two times she appeared, but in konamis defense its been at least half a year since she last appeared. plus there are rumors that she will be bringing new amazoness support as a drop, which will synergize rather well with the amazoness onslaught from the new box. guess we will see.
also in early may, a new duel-a-thon is appearing- fill it up to unlock a new character! the characters flavor text is "im ready to take on the world", which indicates that the chances of it being syrus truesdale are rather high. I dont really see any other duelists that could have this line. roids are barely going to see any competitive use, but at least vehicroid connection zone into super vehicroid jumbo drill shuts down everything sylvans can do. the only problem will be getting the combo off.
mid may, another event exclusive legendary duelist is losing his event exclusive status, and will be added to the gate in duel world. this leaves yami marik and jesse anderson (and syrus truesdale too at that point) as the only event exclusive legendary duelists left. thats right, the duelist that will be added to the gate is none other than arkana! rejoice, people who wanted to run dark magician decks but couldnt because they didnt participate in arkanas event. admittedly dark magician is also kind of a rogue deck, but it can be good.
also in mid may, we get another gate unlock event, much like the yami marik event that is at its final day today and the jesse anderson event from a month and a half ago! this time the unlockable duelist will be...jesse anderson again. yeah, sorry to get your hopes up. new crystal beast support will be added, but honestly, fuck that. the same event two times in the span of less than two months just aint cool, konami. especially if its shit like crystal beasts.
late may, a new roamer will appear in duel world, and its personally the event im the most hyped for, even though he will not be unlockable. the roamer I am talking about is no one but the man, the myth, the legend, tristan "timothy" taylor! yeah! theyre giving him time in the spotlight in events that arent just april fools! im honestly so glad. I hadnt expected konami to actually do it, but now my hopes of playing as tristan taylor in the future have been given life again.
the last event in may is the second installment of the duel links world championship! the last championship was kind of a clusterfuck as some of the strongest decks were locked behind events (red-eyes) or just had straight-up no counterplay (toons). heres to hoping this wcs will be better...though with the game being focused entirely on little interaction and a lot of otks im not so sure.
onto the june events, we get a new duel-a-thon early april. yeah. rewards and that all.
moving on, a roamer is once again returning to duel world in early june- zane truesdale! this debunked pretty much all theories of the unlockable duelist from the duel-a-thon in early may being zane, sorry guys. that being said, the previous cyber dragon support wasnt too great, so im hoping to see better support this time. likely not but w/e.
the last announced event is also for duel world (gx) and early june. tag duels are returning, and this time we will be teaming up with gx characters! I hadnt participated in the last event, but I heard that it was a good event to get gems, so im not too disappointed.
overall, I feel like these events are...just a tad lackluster. the only events that really get me going are the tristan roamer event, the tag duels in june and the addition of arkana to the gate. the latter one isnt even an actual event, and the former is a roamer. you know you dun goofed when those are the coolest you can muster.
other than that, jesse anderson is returning wayyy too soon, and I fear wcs wont be that fun to play in. zane will probably not hand out the strong cyber dragon support just yet- including the actual cyber dragon, since that thing is a buff for hazy flame as well. elegant mai could be okay if her rewards arent garbage like vennu. and the way to unlock syrus is just so lame that it killed all my hype. at least more gems. and roids cant be much worse than crystal beasts, right?

the alleged datamined levelup cards for the legendary duelists between levels 41-45 in duel links has been proven to be false. rest in rip, blue-eyes twin burst dragon.

to the people that want to know the truth behind hostgator, reminder that our friendly neighborhood @Arkhionce wrote the story
-
started farming arkana just now, second farm, failed farm, and he dropped THIS.

IM SALTY BECAUSE THIS CARD IS SOME HOT GARBAGE AND I STILL DONT HAVE THE ALTERNATE ART DARK MAGICIAN.
-
'in soviet russia, rules screw you'
actually the best line I have ever heard
-
holy fuck apparently goddamn millennium-eyes restrict got datamined as pegasus' level 45 reward.
-
some cards in the game atm like metamorphosed insect queen, hey, trunade and sea stealth attack were more or less literally made for duel links, from what ive seen. so yeah, not really that old anymore.
also being able to straight-up lock your opponent off from activating any of their effects is pretty god damned useful id say. it could even get teched in into just about any deck by putting in the dark - hex sealed fusion.
-
Millennium-eyes-restrict? I played the deck in the past. It was ok. I wonder how much of its support will be in duel links. Without any of its support it is litteraly useless.
Millenium-eyes-restrict cannot equip on its own (and I doubt that silent wobby is in duel links) meaning that your opponent can normal summon a monster and just attack over it.
My guess is that duel links will get the fusion spell and that will be it. The monsters might be a little bit too modern.
-
the thing with duel links currently is that everything is extremely reliant on their effects. being too scared to activate them ends up crippling them, especially if the millennium-eyes is paired with strong backrow. not to mention that millennium-eyes thus can be brought out in any deck without the need of polymerization, thanks to the dark - hex sealed fusion.
it remains to be seen just how good it will be, but I imagine it could be used as an anti-meta tech card.

Must have saw it randomly when looking through the drops, since I've barely dueled her. Congrats on getting a dropped Prismatic. I'm still on and off trying to get a Union Attack from little Yugi.............so that I could farm other LDs (since most farming strategies seem to require Union Attack).
Also, just found out this exists in the more recent TCG...........I can just image trying to summon this thing in Duel Links, since optimal decks are 20 cards with 30 being the limit. Even in casual deck dedicated to summoning it, it's ludicrous (and apparently the TCG patches up an easier way the OCG has..........typical Konami american branch or whoever makes the rulings). Still, the ultimate way to Chaz it Up.

hah, its not actually a prismatic I got from a drop, its a possible card I could pick from the prisma sr kc cup ticket pool. from there on out I went to search where you could actually get it. and yeah, union attack is used in nearly every farming deck.
so I just want to mention ive tried summoning vwxyz dragon catapult cannon before and even that was tough. like what the hell. I dont even want to imagine that.

six misplays in a 27 card deck that doesnt even know the effects of its own cards and still nearly won against an optimized golden flying fish deck, sylvans are fair and balanced :]
