  • But in Duel Links, a combination of factors gave all kinds of decks that never had a claim to fame their time in the sun. Skills, a diminished cardpool, plus a downsizing of deck, field, and starting hand all came together to produce unlikely meta threats and rogue strategies that prospered nowhere else

    S-Force, Vampire, and briefly Meklord and War Rock and the Rose Dragons. The prevailing DL theme and the one that appropriately suits having the poll accessory is Shiranui. Went through many iterations and remained strong. Most decks don’t have that. Harpies successfully ruled a weaker metagame with Cyber Slash and advantage. Shira had combos and a grind game, versatility, and a full kit of cards that made use of zombie cards only as much as needed. Somehow the most enduring DL deck besides BEWD permitted to be used that powerfully.

    Another way to easily explain the Cyber Angel relevance is that, despite being used by a GX character, they came out in the TCG/OCG in the Arc-V era, and their effects were balanced for that time.
    So when Duel links allowed them to come in with Alexis. They allowed cards that were balanced for 2017 era power creep, in a card poll that was mostly cards from 2008 and prior.
    With nearly a decade of power creep ahead of everything else... yeah they were going to be tier 0.
    And then they did this AGAIN with the "fur hire" archetype.... that one doesn't even have an anime character who used them... so why that came through is beyond me.

    • @nunocarvalho6671
      @nunocarvalho6671 11 днів тому

      The issue isnt the effects, is that we had 3 benten,but only 1 idaten and 2 cyber petit, and access to senju, sure it wasn't manju,but having a searcher for all your monsters kind of breaks the mold and the absolute ritual also recicles your monsters, so you had nearly unlimited resources

      With the Absolute Ritual never even appearing in GX, making it's debut in Arc-V.
      So I'm still pretty sure the near decade power creep they were originally designed around was still a significant factor.

    Love that Aromages got number 1. I played them a ton in links but my favorite duel with them was on Nexus where I survived a ftk burn strat with just 300 life points, and went on to beat the guy through deck out since he kept using Burning Abyss cards and ended the duel having 10300 life points after being repeatedly blasted by 3 3k beatsticks one of them being Ultimate Falcon, of which I eventually overcame right before he lost to deck out. Since then I will never diss a single Aromage deck, and I always love those crazy plant loving mages.

    Aromages are as dominant as they were was less to do with what they can do and more the fact that at their peak, all of the archetype was available for free. By the time support started showing up on boxes, the archetype was already getting crept to oblivion. It's the F2P nature of Aromas that made it #1, not their effects.

    As someone who regularly plays Duel Links, I appreciate all the focus on the game recently. Funny enough, I just finished maxing out Pegasus using Toon monsters.
    I also nominate War Rocks. They are some of the best 4-Star Monsters for Beatdown decks, especially for grinding, and work great for generic Rank 4 and 5 spams. Plus, both Tristan and DSOD!Joey have a number of Skills that support them, my favorite being one of Joey's skills that gives every Earth Warrior Monster (which all the War Rocks are) a 200 Attack boost passively, which allows them to stack on top of the other attack boosts War Rocks already get.
    Also, a shout out to Harpie Lady, which became a dominate archetype in both Speed Duels AND Rush Duels, the latter thanks to Harpie Lady Sisters. Instead of a single 1900 Attack 6-Star monster, it's three 5-Star Monsters with 2100 Attack each that can combine into one Maximum Monster with 3400 Attack. Even better, there was a skill that allowed Harpies summoned normally to get a 500 Attack boost every turn, which allowed them to run over most normal boss monsters, even Dragias.

    Another note. With Aromage, their effects can be even stronger because there are multiple skills that automatically increase your life points right from the start. Life Boost Alpha gives you a free 1,000 LP with no blowbacks. The game also recently introduced Synchro Stormraze, a skill that Yusei, Sherry, and Yugo can acquire. It automatically gives you an extra 1500 LP at the start of a Duel. Then, once per turn, you can manually give one Monster on the field an extra 300 Attack points, with another 500 on top of that if you control either a Wind Syncrho Monster (such as Stardust Dragon or Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon) or a Wind Monster and a Synchro Monster at the same time.

    _Amazoness Harpy Lady_ (WIND)

    _This card's name becomes "Harpie Lady" and “Amazoness Fighter” while on the field or in the GY, and also, it’s also treated as EARTH-Attribute. Can be treated as 2 tributes for the Summon/Set of an “Amazoness” or “Harpie” monster. “Amazoness” and “Harpie” monsters gain 200 ATK/DEF for every face-up “Amazoness” and “Harpie” monster you control, and also, if they attack a defense position monster, inflict piercing battle damage. If this card is used as Tribute or Material for the Summon of an “Amazoness” and/or “Harpie” monster, Draw 1 card._

    It was thx to duel links that I learned the existence of Aromage, and it became my favorite deck ever since, even in other games (legacy of the duelist, for example).
    It feels like this deck is all about getting advantages, whilst having super advantages if you gain the advantage, and if you dare lose the advantage you can get advantage that will auto-fuel itself for extra advantage (yo dawg...)
    In other news, I'm quite shocked not seeing Harpies here. When I learned of the terror that's called Slash Harpie, I switched to her, and left the aromages (remember, my #1 favorite deck) behind. I basicaly never lost with it (nor have I lost with aromages, but still...).
    I was devastated to learn that she's not in Legacy, so I couldn't recreate my deck there.

It allows you to Normal Summon both Yubel and Elemental Hero Neos without Tributing. More importantly, the skill also allows you to instantly achieve Yubel's higher forms or Fusion Summon either Kluber or Neos Wiseman with little to no trouble, and on your first turn, to boot. It's not THE most used Skill nowadays (Battle Chronicle and the new Borrel skill are, right now), but it's still heavily used.

    It should be noted for Amazoness, Onslaught came out in Duel Links at a time where backrow removal was at a premium, and the game was still very battle-centric. Pretty much, Cosmic Cyclone was the only good generic card for the job, and decent in-archetype options were also very scarce. Never mind that anything that would destroy Onslaught would mean them reviving another Amazoness, making any alternatives still questionable.

    Also maybe The Agent getting a mention of how it nearly became tier 0 (before people got creative with zombie world). Mekk-Knight was also way stronger in duel links than it was in real life. Also how Mizar Stuff (Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon dragon) also being a tier 0.

      Meanwhile my idea for the card art would be something along the lines of those old “CARToons rat fink” pics you’d see on Mad Magazine, mixed with a bit of that “Cars” animated movie.
      As for gameplay, the card would probably be VERY useful for being a FIRE Machine monster with 500 ATK and 200 DEF, which would make it a candidate for both “Machine Duplication” AND “Rekindling”, and that’s all before the Toon and Tuner typings and it’s actual effects.

    Back in the day, Aromages was the first deck I got max rarity for all its cards. I basically flexed an entire deck of glossy/prismatic Aromage cards and even won a community tournament with them. Sadly the deck doesn’t see much play anymore due to the fast pace of the game and access to removal cards and negates. Even with their support from the minibox, it doesn’t have enough power to contend with the meta.
    From my experience, I’ve never lost to Aromages with their backrow support. At the time, I was playing a control-oriented Blue-Eyes deck and I figured out how to use Dragon Spirit of White’s banish effect more than once per turn. So more or less, Aromages have had their time in the spotlight

Once per turn, you can Special Summon any number of Insect monster from your hand, who’s combined total ATK/DEF is equal to or less than your LP._
