5:00 Lol, so you heard about the conspiracy.

are these tier lists based on the pre made decks?

I started speed duel when it first came out but after the first starter decks i stopped foa bit and missed this box. When i visited the united states i paid about triple the price just to get it but as someone who loves speed duels it was totally worth it for me.

The deck works. Gadgets despite not being used until later fit the strategy. I would change electromagnetic turtle to detonate just because detonate hurting thousand eyes restrict is a big moment for duelist kingdom and gives another option for kuriboh multiply combo. Now it may be sacrilege but take out dark magican for stronghold the moving fortress. It's important for gadgets and gives a different win condition which basically dark magican being a 2500 beat stick is all it has going for being in this deck so have stronghold for that and better synergy. Also could have dark magician take the place of skilled brown magixan for the official deck if they NEED to have dark magican and maybe players takes the skilled brown magican from the additional cards so it plays better. Also just remembered that because of the smaller board stronghold doesn't work as intended because there is some confusion of the ruling when the monster zone is full, I say at least for speed duels stronghold can be in either zone as a drawback if being effected by monster destruction and trap destruction

I thought you did a fantastic job but I feel panik was also a must alongside bonez and bandith Keith. Honestly I wish they planned out speed duels better. Because para dox should have been for duelist kingdom imo. That was what they were remembered in so it is really weird they basically headlined a gx box. To me duelist kingdom box would he yugi (magixan of black chaos), Pegasus (thousand eyed restrixt), bandith Keith, bonez, panik, paradox, and Joey for flame swordsman.

I recently returned to the Game and bought a Speed Duels Mini-Box a few days ago. I had so much more fun compared to the main format due to the reduced complexity. Sad to receive this news. :(

Thank you for your review! I personally believe that whoever playtested the Bastion deck and come to the conclusion that"Yes! This is fun!" needs to take a very hard look into the mirror and re-evaluate their life choices.

I would have liked to see 5ds, with reprints of old cards like fortune lady, on normal tcg I would feel out of place since they are so old and kinda never worked there, but in speed that deck has potential like in duel links

I think one thing you forgot to mention is the time between products.

Lol let's get izhizu Trapdustshoot instead of the bad discard cards 🤣

Konami saying they ran out of ideas is pretty weird considering Duel Links pretty much IS Speed Duel already and has a crazy amount of cards available. (I’d argue including Link monsters was a mistake, but that’s neither here nor there lol.)

Speed duel is the best Yu GI oh TCG ❤❤❤❤

Is it possible that they might replace Speed Duels with Rush Duels. I think a lot of fans here in America are clamoring for an English version. I imported Yuga’s Starter Deck and The Goha Corp. Duel Disk, I hope those purchases were not in vain.

Honestly I agree with you 100%, I started playing it when it came out with my wife it was an easy format that literally anyone could learn easily. And with the complexity of the main card game speed duels was in my opinion a good way to get new players interested. In short Konami really did let it down, I know i still play it with my wife and release content on it. And I truly loved the game it's always fun playing a deck that never was playable in the official card game. Like great moth, gate guardian, Cyberdarks and so many more.

It was never about releasing and supporting a new format for konami with speed duels, but rather a very effortless cash grab. They were never going to put that much effort and money into the speed duel format. That's how I saw it. And I'm a cynical person so I really wanted to be wrong. But yeah....

People has no interest in alternate formats. Side events at WCQ's and YCS are often empty. I remeber at a YCS getting a playmat after a single win in a restricted format because no one wanted ro play it. Speed duels sales were low and konami had even less incentive to support it.

It's crazy how Konami has years of data from Duel Links and their legacy banlists but still mismanaged Speed Duels.

im so mad that we didnt even get the last 2 boxes in europe ... the reprints were really needed over here

I seriously think Speed Duels failure sets the stage for Rush Duels failure as well. It's a different format, but paper TCG yugioh product is on the outs. I think people are grossly overestimating it's popularity in the West because they are using Japan as a comparison. Completely different environment.

I loved Speed Duels. The Issue was we could not get a good following up here where I live to run proper tournaments. We even went as far as to allow non speed duel cards to be used, it just needed to exist in the card pool. (Example, Any copy of Vanilla Blue-eyes white dragon is legal). The reason for this was anyone was able to set a demo deck for free allowing them to have at least a skill card to use. But Players in my area are so rigid to change that they just want to play regular Yugioh and not stray from the path. They look at other formats like its a completely different games. Almost as if they are programmed to play one way and one way only.

The only reason I didn't buy them until 2 weeks ago is because I was unsure if the cards themselves could be part of TCG/OCG, meaning I would be investing in cards that are nigh unplayable elsewhere and wasn't sure if Speed Duel was popular enough to be played in my area. That said, the one highlight of Speed Duel is that it brought many of the original OCG Normal monsters into English, including cards I've wanted to see for a while such as "Shadow Spectre", "Kairyu-Shin", "Neck Hunter" and "Big Insect", and if they continued to release them I'm sure we would have seen more and it seemed like the ONLY way to get these cards released other than OTS and Astral Packs. Still, I got 1 box, played with friends, and they had genuine fun, so I bought more, and since the game is getting shut down, I'm more than happy to collect them as a finite collection, and they have drastically gone down in price so it doesn't break my wallet, I say it's fun enough for me to get invested, though it is a shame it's too late for me to go to any tournaments or go any further.

I play Duel Links exclusively, but I had to intimately know Speed Duel rules to get better at that. I can tell TCG made this an after thought. Redundant printing and competition with Duel Links was always my impression. Duel Links has a handful of cards from the Tag Force video games and one of them actually became uniquely useful (Kiteroid). I guess the reason they don't print new cards is because they are legal in non-Speed format (as they rightfully should). Some of the aforementioned Tag Force cards became legal cards with much stronger effects (Sherry 5Ds Noble Knight/Floral cards). Speed Duel is such a fun format. I really dislike that Duel Links is being powercrept too hard with favoritism skills and some cards I just straight up dislike. That's also probably another reason. They have very very low-key skills on paper SD but a lot of crazy interactions on Duel Links until they started imposing a ton of restrictions that's only feasible with a computer regulating.

I thought Speed Duels were great, I actually was able to teach people the game via the first speed duel starter decks, and yeah very rocky start and I thought the following starter decks were odd, but once we got to the big boxes like Battle City and Gx I think they finally managed to make a dam near perfect product, aside from being fun casual games with friends it was a box that had effectively everything you need like a living card game, and I think what with the modern tcg just being a hellscape that is not easy to get into this was the perfect bridge to get new people into yugioh seeing as we'll never get Rush Duels. Ultimately I think the death nail and just a problem with yugioh in general is they don't bother promoting or pushing the game and the franchise anymore, and when they do it's just DM era, usually just Battle City, case in point we got lime 2-3 Battle City boxes, no Duelist Kingdom box where you could introduce some wacky skills and unique format rules to invoke the feel of the anime, but alas back to Battle City again, and Ra forbid they ever do anything with the Virtual World, Waking the Dragon and Season 5 arcs, maybe not as popular but options. At least with GX they went have a dedicated villian box, have some boxes to fill out some other niche characters, though kinda ticked off we never got the last gx box in the UK. And ok Konami you say your running out of ideas why not turn to the other 4 animes, a 5ds box if they promoted it would sell, like a mini edison box but no :/ a zexal box with skills to make the character decks playable and balanced against the other boxes. I think the Arc-V and Vrains boxes would be a bit too powerful but as self packaged mini formats it would still be great. So yeah just a massive missed opponent that is largely due to Konami poorly managing yugioh in general and that's sad because Speed Duels were a genuinely fun, simpler yet still interesting way to get into yugioh which at the moment is something the game is sorely missing

Oh. Speed only works as those Starter Decks.

They definitely should release more and probably will again soon. Tell them your feelings and they will listen.

speed duels shouldve slowly became duel links IRL.... couldve got a couple of boxes a year for each duel world gx then 5ds then zexal pretty much the same roll out as duel links .... but what do i know i just wanna buy the cards.....

I feel like Speed Duel was good for promotion of Reprints and giving players more options when it came to formats, I know most people will complain of fragmentation, but with proper promotion and treatment as a secondary format. The Box format was very good for casual players and more competitive players had the ability to simply play around with the cards included to make custom decks rather then having to gamble boosters and/or buy singles and considering these sets consisted of reprints I think thats fine, maybe Konami didn't but Speed Duel was a more casual format in every way. There are some good printings of fan favorite cards in high rarities and such so people who are collectors would have enjoyed them as well. They just had to slow roll releases of the products for each series just long enough to make the game not power creep too quickly. Now it seems like they are just going to push Time Wizard and stuff reprints everywhere they can. Also remember in the OCG speed duel is just an alternative format with no special cards

I would have loved the speed duels cards if it didn't say SPEED DUEL on the card. Cheap shiny reprints of badass classic cards are exactly what I want, but the SPEED DUEL text kind of puts me off from buying them. I want them for regular duels.

I can't believe they never made a Yugi Moto deck including the Exodia package 😭

Hope to see speed duel again in the future 😔

dont worry ill revive it

The booster boxes could've worked, but they were soooo poorly structured and wildly expensive for the cards inside (like you said). Still, we ended up getting a way better product release via the multi-deck boxes. We had it pretty good for a while there, aside from the extensive reprints among the boxes.

To me, the point of speed duels not being anime enought is more about why the fuck does blue-eyes and dark magician suck? really???? they made weevil and joey fans rejoice but the main guys just suck? come on. there is a lot to talk about, terrible ban list, terrible erratas, etc etc to much to talk I just hope that you could continue with ur deck showcase, since speed dueels is gonna end soon would be good to have a good compedium of playable decks of many levels to play for the future

Konami does suck lmfao not only did they ended speed duels but they also completely ruined the TCG my god the format has sucked for so long now

It truly is a shame speed duels went out the way it did as you said their was still so much that could be done with it and it sucks that konami took the time to do it. At least its cool to see youre trying to do something about it

Man it still feels weird that speed duels is not going to be getting anymore product after the release of the battle city box.

My list of mistakes 1) Not letting people use their old cards. If you did let them use old cards you would've gotten a lot more people to just try it. 2) No power cards. I think it was a mistake to avoid printing the power spell and traps. Monster Reborn, Mirror Force, etc. You can limit them all if you want. But I think they anime fans like game changing top decks. 3) Making the decks small. Weird as it sounds I think the decks are too consistent. They feel like they do one play then they are done. They is no room for variety or tech cards. 4) Marketing. Speed Duels was an anime fan format. And I don't think there was a good effort to let that group know they existed. 5) They should have printed playable precons out of the gate. The singleton pile thing is not a good experience for a new player.

A real shame. Switched over to Edison Format, but do I ever miss Skill cards. Was such a cool concept.

In addition to having a horrible first outing with the booster boxes and dull caveman-Yugioh gameplay, I think what ultimately killed Speed Duel was poor marketing. I've only learned about the format in 2022, and I am THE target audience. I came across it accidentally, through a video on team APS's channel, which I don't even follow. So I bought the Battle City Box and the Duel Academy Box (Midterm Paradox still hadn't been released at the time) and I loved them, and (more importantly) all of my friends who I had played Yugioh with as a kid loved them. We still get together every couple of weekends just to play Speed Duel and we're grown ass men all around 30, with jobs, wives, kids, etc. I remember a courier who delivered the Duelists of Shadows Boxes to me being super excited when he saw what it was I'd delivered, saying how he used to love playing Yugioh as a kid, and then visibly intrigued when I explained to him how the Speed Duel Box system works, without random cards and the old school vibe. So the format and the product was clearly not marketed to us players who stopped playing (not effectively, at least). And who was it marketed to, you might be asking? Well, it was marketed at YCSs. That's right. The place where the sweatiest modern Yugioh players come to compete in modern Yugioh, because they like the game enough to want to compete in it. That's the people who this caveman Yugioh format was marketed to. And what I find the most insane is how this would be stupid EVEN IF modern Yugioh players who attend YCSs wanted to switch to Speed Duel. These are players Konami already has in their pocket. If anything, they stand to lose money by converting players from an expensive format into a cheaper one. All this while there is a throng of disenfranchised ex-Yugioh players who were huge fans of the anime and loved the game growing up, but just gave up on it as it grew more convoluted-players who I know from first hand experience would buy your old school product provided it wasn't sold in booster boxes but the box format. It's laughable how Konami marketed Speed Duels.

Time to print rush duel proxies

For me Axel is without a Joke the best deck in Whole speed duel so far. Tri-Blaze can obliterate anything. The level 4 monsters are very powerful. Most of the times the deck doesn't even need DoomFire to win. Any monster that they put on the field that's strnoger than 2000 ATK just dissapears from the board. It's basically one of the few decks that can consitently beat Alexis deck, but moreso. I feel like this deck has an answer for anything. Also Zane's skill is very strong but does leave him very vulnerable. One direct attack, one bit of effect damage and he's done. Then I feel like Jesse is one of the worst of the set. Most of the time his defence crumbles before he gets to Rainbow dragon and that's basically the only thing he's got going for him. And then Rainbow dragon's arrival is very easy to predict and can potentially be countered. Always defending. But I loved hearing your experience
