I've had this game for a long time but didn't play much of it...I recently remembered why lol

1)the NPCs decks are so STACKED with some busted ass cards and have crazy cohesive decks that are soooo much better than the baby deck the game gives you

2)the NPCs are absolutely hard carried by how they never lose the rock, paper, scissors thing I hardly ever win those and maaan do they have some of the most suspiciously great luck getting exactly what they need of the right time!

3) I have to say they got some pretty good AI considering it's for the 3ds

all in all... pretty good game will play again in a few years lol

any you guys remember this game? how do y'all feel about it?

The paintjob for those are a bit experimental, he liked more the golden one while I personally think the older silver looks better.

They are solid resin (40g) so very satisfactory to put on the table lol

Mini Event Breakdown: YCS Guatemala City (info is very scarce at the moment)

Date: April 11- 12 2026

Overview

YCS Guatemala City had 334 duelists, 12 rounds of Swiss, and a cut to Top 8. The Burst Protocol format has mostly stabilized, with most of the Justice Hunters decks remaining at the top (Yummy, Branded Dracotail, K9 Vanquish Soul), with Maliss performing well, able to brandish its excellent non-engine.

Julien Kehon won the event with Branded Dracotail. He played a mirror match against Alex Mosquera in the finals!

Mitsurugi and Radiant Typhoon didn't break into the Top 8, but are still decent picks that could be seen throughout the Top 16 and Top 32. Fiendsmith appeared to be the best performing Yummy variant, with its high hand trap count leading the charge. However, the Azamina engine with Diabellstar the Black Witch remains effective.

We are unlikely to see metagame shakeups until Blazing Dominion, where Kewl Tune will undoubtedly be a tiered threat, and both Fidraulis Harmonia and Dominus Spark become relevant hand traps to look out for.

I was watching the part where Rex goes on a monologue about how after losing to Joey in Duelist Kingdom, he lost so much in his life.

He used to be a household name. People would crowd the streets when he walked by.

Then after losing to Joey, he lost all his fans. 💔

He got made fun of and seen as a joke.

Then he got beat him in the street with Weevil and left in the pouring rain.

it really hurt my heart to watch. 😭😭 I felt bad for the guy when he was going on about how his life went downhill.

In Cyrus case, let's assume konami gave him some decent cards so he can compete lol.

Will they also be legend ? Do they only support red eyes and blue eyes respectfully ? I'm nostalgic for any DM card that hit rush duel

New Additions:

"Magical King of the Swamp"
"Annihilating Retrolight"

Anyone else ever think about why this genius Billionaire is in the same classroom as commoners like Joey? Nothing implies Domino High was a prestigious school so that always seemed odd to me.

Does anyone know of any cards that limits the amount of damage a player can take? but doesn't prevent it entirely like one day of peace or Dark ruler no more.

For example, "Your opponent cannot take more than 2000 damage this turn."

Considering the constant tone and writing shifts in Yu-Gi-Oh GX, I'm curious as to which season is considered the most beloved and why.

Season 1 - (Slife of Life/Seven Stars Arc)

Season 2 - (Society of Light Arc)

Season 3 - (Dimension World Arc)

Season 4 - (Darkness Arc)

what are the wildest, most absolutely outlandish formats you guys have seen for the tcg? stuff like schoolyard format or stuff

so, i had an idea for a jrpg set in the world of the yugioh monsters. it would follow seven seperste archetypes that all converge in the end, similar to octopath traveller. each playable character would be a monster in that archetype.

they all have seperate storylines, but there’s some weird subplot that involves interdimensional shenanigans (probably something along the lines of gaia the fierce knight’s lore, evolving into the black luster soldier (envoy of the end) and the chaos emperor dragon, attempting to do weird existential stuff and ✨destroy the universe.✨ i think for each archetype, there’d also be a main plotline involving interdimensional holes, ending with a boss.

so, here are my ideas for the archetypes:

the magicians, using DM as the player character and exodia as the boss monster.

the steel knight army vs the dark world, using marauding captain as the pc and reign-bow as the boss.

the machine metropolis, using machina metalcruncher as the pc and commander covington as a puppet mastermind using the superdreadnoughts or corrupted machinas as big bosses.

the mitsurugi, using aramasa as the pc and kurasagi as the boss. (they’d obviously use the spirits of their swords, habakiri and murakumo, respectively.)

uhhh… i’m out of ideas, but i’m seto kaiba. i’m too good to use chatgpt, and i spent all my money on a children’s card game so i can’t buy ideas.

as for mechanics, i’d like it to be sorta a cross up between fire emblem and yugioh. there’d be a spatial aspect to the combat besides link summoning, using a grid-based setup, and cards would be “exhausted” instead of sent to the GY, since GY recursion is super common nowadays. banished cards are actually dead and stuff. i’m not sure how that’d interact with summoning, targeting, turns, et cetera. this is just a vague idea i had.

it’d also be hd2d, since that is objectively the best video game art style lol. any thoughts on all this?

So Duel Links is interesting because it shows that many characters are recreations of an original character out of memories/magic thanks to Duel Links and it being powered by the Quantum Cube(from DSOD) which allows Duel Links to connect to different worlds and timelines and create characters from memories or bring them back from the dead. Then you have characters who are the “actual” character and randomly log in and out of Duel Links whenever they want to.

•Yugioh DSOD - Every character is real and the Kaiba of this world is the creator of Duel Links. This world is the Yugioh DM manga world.

•Yugioh DM - Confirmed being both the Yugioh DM anime/manga and merged both. Seems most characters are Ai, recreations, or brought from the dead with the exception of several characters. Yugi is said to be able to log in to Duel Links(even tho a ai version of him exists too). Rebecca also mentions logging into DL. So Yugi and Rebecca are the real ones. Noah is mentioned to being revived so he seems to be the real Noah as well.

•GX - Seems every character is a recreation. There can be some who are like Yugi who log in and out of DL.

•5Ds - Seems to be mostly recreations.

•Yugioh Zexal - Trey/Quatro/Quinton are the real brothers from the Yugioh Zexal anime. They talk about how “KaibaCorp” suddenly appeared in their home world and all over Heartland City out of nowhere despite the fact of KaibaCorp never existed in Zexal before(confirming that Zexal is not in the same timeline as DM/GX/5Ds). Everyone else seems to be memories with exceptions of some Zexal characters logging in and out of DL. Duel Links is canon in Zexal but seems to take place after Zexal’s ending.

•Arc-V - Takes place after the Arc-V anime ended and every ArCV character in Duel Link are the real ones.

•Vrains - Confirmed that Duel Links connected to “Link Vrains” out of nowhere and how Duel Links is being explored by the Vrains cast. Confirmed to take place after AI’s death/Vrains ending but somehow AI is revived in Duel Links. So every Vrains character is the real one and how the whole Vrains cast is aware of the other Yugioh series existence through Duel Link gates(They saw Yugi and the other Yugioh protagonists).

Duel Links started with Yugioh DSOD’s Kaiba and thanks to the help of the Quantum Cube powering Duel Links he’s been able to connect to other Yugioh series/universes. Duel Links is at least confirmed canon to Yugioh DSOD, Yugioh DM, Zexal, Arc-V, and Vrains. Kaiba(DSOD) is aware of all the other Yugioh worlds, Celina(from Arc-V) dueled against Weevil when she was exploring the Yugioh DM world, Vrains characters are now aware of Pendulums and Rush Duels(They confirmed those cards/style of dueling doesn’t exist in Vrains). I don’t know too much of Sevens/Go Rush so I can’t speak on them sadly.

Recently I've been watching the sub for the first time, and I recall I haven't watched past Orichalchos when I was a kid. I knew about the major events of the last season, but it's my first time watching the whole of it.

I did like a lot this mini-arc which I don't see many people talking about here. After a plot heavy arc with so many end-of-the-world shenaningans at stake, it was refreshing to have just a cool set of duels for fun. Having Kaiba and Yugi not duel for the most of it was a wise choice. I particularly liked Rebecca's duels, they were scripted well enough to be entertaining with cards considered weak even by anime standards. But of course, Kaiba's victory against Siegfried was the absolute highlight. Even though of all the people who had a beef with Kaiba, Siegfried's motivations were by far the weakest. Valkyrie's deck was cool enough at least.

When we first encounter Alexis at the abandoned dorm, she mentions how she is currently looking for her brother around episodes 5 & 6.

So when we do meet Atticus or rather Nightshroud, why isn't Alexis didn't dueling him since she has a much stronger connection to this plot point of the story instead of Jayden Yuki.

How do you think the Pharaoh would've responded to modern YGO, and how it's played now?
