When you mentioned people seeing relinquished early in the event I had to comment about it! My first KC cup duel was a against Bandit Keith who summoned machine king while I had an empty field. I draw relinquished, summon it, take control of his machine king and win. Relinquished is so awesome and if you get lucky with it it's so good.
They had the game for 3 months longer than the rest of the world, and they usually go really hard. Since everyone can literally CHOOSE what region to play with, they've been swarming the NA and EU regions and taking advantage of their meta being ahead and are taking over the scoreboards for Americans and Europeans alike. Not really fair.
asia had like a 3 month start so the "cheap unfair asians" are selecting foreign servers for this event since they have a head start advantage over everyone else
Konami have seriously got this tournament wrong in so many ways. Why impose a region lock when we get to choose our region? I'm from the U.K and literally 80% of my battles have been against Japanese. Not only that I played against a Karate man deck consisting of 5 cards, and guess what they won in one turn because they 'happened' to have the cards. So messed up.
Really been liking your Duel link videos. Got a great attitude and sense of humor in a series that could easily turn into butthurt central. Kudos! #subscribed
shady they added a way to reset the packs mid opening, scroll to the bottom of one of the boxsets and click the bulk purchase settings and it gives you the option to reset the box once all ur or sr have been pulled
Clear issue is the Spell/Trap to Monster ratio.The concept and synergy itself is great! My advise, add one spell card, remove one monster and add (or switch for Wonder Balloons) that Equip Spell you mentioned, that allows you to throw cards away. Reinforcements might be an idea for that other slot, given how your weakling Naturia's keep getting blown away at the beginning before the setup gets going. Oh and I think you should switch the ability, maybe Bandit Keith and Switcheroo instead?
Just want to point out to counter play windstorm of etiqua in the rex game, since both your monster where over 1525 attack, change one to defence position then go to battle phase if he activates windstorm you can attack with the monster you set in defence.
It has nothing to do with money. I am free to play and I have a Mako deck that gets KOG every season and it does very well overall. I had a game plan before I started just buying random packs. Doesn't require money as long as you aren't stupid with reckless pack buying.
Back when I played Yu-Gi-Oh Naturia was my favorite deck too. It wasn't really meta but when it worked it worked. I'm also curious how long one has to play to get as big of a slew of rare cards as you have. I'm at stage 25 currently and after opening many packs with the gems I've earned it seems I'll almost never be able to get enough to pull the ultra rares and secret rares that are necessary.
As someone who has lucked out most of my cards (secondary DMG, legion jester, ect), all I can say it that luck is vital, I mean, I'm on the same stage as you right now and we're already at different standing points. Sucks really.
Best way to play this deck is 3 dragonfly 3 berry 3 obnoxious guardian 1 rocket warrior. 4 equips then the meta traps. Mirror wall magical arm shield reinforcements riryoku half shut blast infinite dismal is tech against reliquinshed. That kind of thing and go all in on the not destroy by battle part of it:
This event is a failure, Asian players choosing to rank up in Europe or America, who have had the game less, therefore less cards and less events, like Toon world, Asian players will have 3 Relinquished. Nothing like every match having 3 mirror walls, 3 sphere kuribos. Makes ranking up as a f2p player near impossible. I'm KoG, struggling in 3 star cup rank due to an influx of Asian players with just better cards due to time spent playing. Mostly just going to forget the rank rewards and just get the gems and gold in the missions. Not a racist thing, before anyone says that, its just why introduce a region lock system in the KC cup, then allow people to choose, makes little sense. Of course the players wanting the rewards will choose the easier target region to have a better chance at getting higher ranked.
To make things worse there is now a glitch going around that for some reason allows you to use 5 cards in the KC cup, people bringing Lord or D, Flute of summoning two/three Blue eyes for a OTK guardsmen. www.reddit.com/r/DuelLinks/comments/5wi1te/hacker_using_a_5_card_deck_in_kc_cup_description/
Aaahh been using Garlandolf in the KC Cup. Was gonna use something different but boy these prizes have made me thirsty for wins. The gems alone are amazing since I'm starting to dry up on them, and the prizes for doing well alongside that is incredible. So far I would say that the big 3 decks to beat are Relinquished (specifically either Harpie variants or full-on triple Senju/Sonic Bird variants), Gravekeepers and variants of Weevil with Parasite Infestation. May be strange to not include either Rex or Mako in those but their matchup against the other top decks just isn't that great. Relinquished/Harpies and Gravekeeper's both have a good matchup against Rex and a lot of Mako's success depends on RNG a lot more than other decks.
I dont play competitively, but i have been running a naturia deck since i started duel links in my deck i have a couple darklord maries that i can throw away with wonder balloons, wicked breaking flamberge baou, and i have some shadow ghouls to have more monsters that can capitalize on the monster count in the graveyard. What do you think?
I got 1 UR and 3 SR from 19 packs i got the dweller,beans,kaiser and regretfull rebirth and by the way shady i hope you will be in the top 1000. Wish the best of lucks m8.See ya
random thought, would shooting star bow and ancient dragon have synergy together? if you could find a way to keep the dragon alive long enough, could be pretty nasty
I am running Mako with trap jammers and De spells with my kill cards being sanga and suijin ofc for their ability and for defense i am using three vermins and the remaining slots are choice depending on what cards you have and skill ofc mythic depth. The reason i created this deck is because for the first time ever i faced golden apple and i really wished i have a jammer and so i starting testing different things then i figured out a water ish deck could be nice. You can do it with dino deck but i feel like umi just gives more room for options.
Did i ever say how satisfying is it to just stop an opponent clutch traps with ease. I had a match against bandit and he was using many good traps and i just happened to have a three trap jammers in my first 2 turns and i just ended destroying all his traps and get the win in same bootyful
W. H. Lol I like Wonder Balloons but I am not a fan of permanently locking down one of my s/t zones. Reflector is just a one time use to protect the field. More cost effective, imo.
here's a hint for you shady flipping arensal summoner lets you search for a naturia guardian also against rex you had that you just needed to tribute the possesed 3 star and steal the sphere kuriboh lol
Hey Shady! I have a version of the Odion Trap deck if you want to try it. It is a bit stally, but it's a very hard deck to play against if your opponent doesn't have Sealmaster Meisei (who would actually run that anyways lol)
Shady, I don't know if I should participate in the Kaiba Cup event. I am stage 27 and have some good cards (Mirror Wall, Black Pendant) Do you know a budget deck that can preform well?
See it this way, why wouldnt you participate? even if you dont manage to get to the highest ranks, you still get gems and gold from the missions which are very easy to clear as long as you just play.
A card that lowers the levels of the opponent's monsters would be stupid with Dark Possessed Soul. Snatch everything and do a cheap comeback. Though I'm sure such card doesn't exist in Duel Links.
dude a naturia inscet themed deck there are spells that let you tribute 1 monster on the field to special summon a insect monster 1 level higher thant what you tributed and you can get some very powerful lvl 5 insects from weevil and odion
I would love to participate in this tournament but I don't have the key cards (ex: kuriboh, wonder balloons, metamorph, etc.) to play competitively and that sucks
Shade when your opponent has a face down trap card get in the habit of switching one monster to defense mode and one in attack to counter windstorm. that why if they windstorm you can still get on attack off. this would have saved you against the Rex that used twin headed thunder dragon.
What if you swapped out your current tribute for 1 or 2 dark magician girls and ran a 2 dark magicians. The dark magicians would let you power up dark magician girl using wonder balloons. (This might be too many things at once but who knows, it might just work out)
Deck Idea: Cosmo Queen Beatdown: Duelist: Joey Skill: Life Boost List: Dark Effigy Dark Effigy Dark Effigy Double Coston Double Coston Cosmo Queen Cosmo Queen Cosmo Queen Sphere Kuribo 4-Starred Ladybug of Doom Mirror Wall Mirror Wall Windstorm of Etaqua Jar of Greed Jar of Greed Jar of Greed Twister Stray Lambs Enemy Controller The idea is to play a Dark Effigy or Double Coston with Mirror Wall, Kuribo, Controller or Windstorm backup to protect it (Life Boost is the skill, because it allows you to pay for mirror wall TWICE). Afterwards, you just slam Cosmo Queen and beat the opponent down. Keep in mind that Stray Lambs combo with Enemy controller: You can sacrifice a Token to get their best creature for a turn. You can also sacrifice the lambs to set a Cosmo Queen Facedown turn1. Maybe this deck wants Trap Jammer for additional protection or something.
Texas Dice I'm pretty sure putting it in defence won't do anything but I have personally never had the secondary effect used on relinquished so could not answer you there
No, I mean you sacrifice the monster he targets to control Relinquished for a turn. After the turn ends, opponent gets relinquished back and it's a 0 atk 0 def monster with no protection.
Give it some time! Idk why UA-cam is taking so long to process the video in HD!
shadypenguinn I'd swap one wonder balloons for a black pendant. Just in case
shadypenguinn PLS Add me, my name is SenSeiOfDuel
Shady, you might want to take a look at the description, you used the same one from the last duel links video XD
shadypenguinn Hey shady, how do I add you on duel links? There's like 10 shadyPenguinn accounts, enjoying the content got to stage 40 just today :D
Predicate Cape He havê a Dog Picture
I don't need gold, I need cards. It takes a ton of time and effort to get gems for packs.
Fro mo so mo !!!
Dexx the Duck Agree and it's more frustating when you get shitty cards ALL THE DAMN TIME :/
*makes a Harpies Hunting Ground deck opens pack for last skull red bird gets everything but that*
Dexx the Duck exactly i have a hell of lot of gold but gems count are low as shit
Duel Links everyday! Keep it coming Shady!
DID HE SAY EVERY DAY! YESSSSS
Shady, that tribute is straight butterscotch. That trash is ranch dressing.
You're gonna get dumpstered in the cup, no cap on a stack fr fr
When you mentioned people seeing relinquished early in the event I had to comment about it! My first KC cup duel was a against Bandit Keith who summoned machine king while I had an empty field. I draw relinquished, summon it, take control of his machine king and win. Relinquished is so awesome and if you get lucky with it it's so good.
It's a shame that Asia rules the leaderboards
Alec Restrepo y is it a shame?
They had the game for 3 months longer than the rest of the world, and they usually go really hard. Since everyone can literally CHOOSE what region to play with, they've been swarming the NA and EU regions and taking advantage of their meta being ahead and are taking over the scoreboards for Americans and Europeans alike. Not really fair.
asia had like a 3 month start so the "cheap unfair asians" are selecting foreign servers for this event since they have a head start advantage over everyone else
stupidest decision by Konami not to sort it by region beforehand
Alec Restrepo the Japanese guys r the strongest... they started the game way earlier than us
Konami have seriously got this tournament wrong in so many ways. Why impose a region lock when we get to choose our region? I'm from the U.K and literally 80% of my battles have been against Japanese. Not only that I played against a Karate man deck consisting of 5 cards, and guess what they won in one turn because they 'happened' to have the cards. So messed up.
Yeah man, it's a joke.
Tabris Hayayi yeah all my battles have also been against nothing but Japanese
I just wanna drop a nukr
Placido ৰ Haha touché!
I've just now noticed how much stuff you have behind you and I'm so jealous. I wish I had shelves to organize all the things I use to have.
12:16 hahahaah the way you said "thats not good" @shadypenguinn best moment of the video for me
Duel Links for a whole WEEK!? Shady, you're spoiling us!
yo I love the duel links videos man keep them coming
You got it :]
This deck is straight shenanigans, and I LOVE it!
These videos are awesome! Makes me want to get back to the game after leaving it there for weeks, and I think I just might :D
Really been liking your Duel link videos. Got a great attitude and sense of humor in a series that could easily turn into butthurt central. Kudos!

When you're too fast and the video is still 360p

Good luck, Shady! Rock this tournament!
your commentary playing this game is basically my internal screaming. haha.
"if your a fish then im a fish" LMFAO i love this man
shady they added a way to reset the packs mid opening, scroll to the bottom of one of the boxsets and click the bulk purchase settings and it gives you the option to reset the box once all ur or sr have been pulled
I think the description is the one for last episode
lol your game @15 mins was intense. I had a similar come back the other day, I was at 25 LP due to a terrible hand but turned it around and won.
Love your vids shady, and nice play against that bandit Keith with the twin thunder dragon.
I tired playing KC cup last night as soon as it came out and yes Mako and Rex were running wild. Also saw so many turn one Mirror walls.
12:00 lmao, the commentary xD
Clear issue is the Spell/Trap to Monster ratio.The concept and synergy itself is great!

I will not be 1st I will not be 10th I will be at the bottom because we don't spend money on this game
Alex Gee plus the Asians...
styleugly16 well yeah but the Asians have had a 3 month advantage plus the 5 card glitch
It has nothing to do with money. I am free to play and I have a Mako deck that gets KOG every season and it does very well overall. I had a game plan before I started just buying random packs. Doesn't require money as long as you aren't stupid with reckless pack buying.
Blootwo lol you proud to use a mako deck ? so boring and take no skills. lol mako deck is noob friendly. just nuke everybody 😂😂
You do you with your noob i mean nuke deck
Back when I played Yu-Gi-Oh Naturia was my favorite deck too. It wasn't really meta but when it worked it worked.

TheEvilTurnip it's called spending over 200$ on this game...
nah
TheEvilTurnip Well to get as much as Shady in such little time it is unfortunately
As someone who has lucked out most of my cards (secondary DMG, legion jester, ect), all I can say it that luck is vital, I mean, I'm on the same stage as you right now and we're already at different standing points. Sucks really.
Keep up the good work, loving these series.
I love how the Kaiba Corp logo looks like the KC royals logo
If you're a fish I'm a fish
- shady
I love Duel Links and you are just so entertaining!!!!
love the video shady!! keep up the great work
ryryoku should be a must in any deck if you have a copy of it. it get rid of any monster as long as your attack can go trough
This is the first vid i watched from ya. I learned how to use some cards from this not gonna lie lol
You should run a Forest field spell, since all your monsters except dark soul benefit from it and it doesn't take up space in your backrow.
love watching your videos shady but trust me this tourny is rough , one guy summoned 2 twin headed thunder dragons on me in one turn
Best way to play this deck is 3 dragonfly 3 berry 3 obnoxious guardian 1 rocket warrior. 4 equips then the meta traps. Mirror wall magical arm shield reinforcements riryoku half shut blast infinite dismal is tech against reliquinshed. That kind of thing and go all in on the not destroy by battle part of it:
When Shady doesn't put his Nutria Gaurdian in Atk position to defeat Rex.
I run bazoo and magical merchant in my naturia deck, quick ways of abusing the grave and also searches out those spells
I love shady and links mobile but don't love 360p.
Oceanica. Nice one Shady XD

Kishin Asura I did run into an Asian player running multiple relinquished, and it was horrible

Kishin Asura Lol my only losses so far in the cup are to Asian players go figure
Kishin Asura people have been mentioning this in global chat, but I haven't ran into it..here's to hoping I don't
I know the feeling, I've pretty much given up on any sort of competitive play with this game.
Aaahh been using Garlandolf in the KC Cup. Was gonna use something different but boy these prizes have made me thirsty for wins. The gems alone are amazing since I'm starting to dry up on them, and the prizes for doing well alongside that is incredible.

Beside the raptor deck, mako and harpie/relinquished deck, there is also the Gravekeeper deck wich is pretty op
I'm definitely using my Mako deck in this Cup. Let's go Shady i hope i duel you in this cup
omg haha his face and voice at 12:14
That 360p. .-.
Yeah, it's never this bad.
SavageGaming 1080p 60 fps?
SavageGaming i have 480p
Good old Naturia.
Twin Barrel Dragon has a 25% chance of resolving - three times it fails when I play it, and it succeeds the one time my opponent plays it.
random thought, would shooting star bow and ancient dragon have synergy together? if you could find a way to keep the dragon alive long enough, could be pretty nasty
shady penguinn use the forest field spell you get from weevil, it will help your plants :)
Would have been hilarious if you tributed your dark soul and take control of his legendary fisherman since he remained at 3 stars haha
I am running Mako with trap jammers and De spells with my kill cards being sanga and suijin ofc for their ability and for defense i am using three vermins and the remaining slots are choice depending on what cards you have and skill ofc mythic depth.

Have you thought of using Arsenal Summoner? It can help thin the deck by searching Naturia Guardian and it has 1600ATK and DEF.
-1 shard of greed or ballons +1 forest field spell u get from farming wevil would do this deck wonders
Now they need to add the synchros for naturias, get that beast
konami is the opposite of supercell . FINALLY SOMEONE THAT UNDERSTANDS !
that Raptor deck was a hacker XP, how convenient...
Fairy King is only 1 tribute, Shady
Million Gold ??? That's FLAMES!
I run a Magic Reflector in my Rex deck as a make-shift Field Barrier. Its been clutch so many times, definitely worth the slot in my deck.
Doug Bier I've slotted in wonder balloons. You drop me 300, I'll do the same lol
W. H. Lol I like Wonder Balloons but I am not a fan of permanently locking down one of my s/t zones. Reflector is just a one time use to protect the field. More cost effective, imo.
Doug Bier that's true! I'll give it a try:)
Do you get 3 ur and sr from random boxes or are they event exclusive or can you choose the boxes you want the cards from
I think the deck could work if you took out the truesdale and 1 dragonfly for more traps/spells/kuriboh
here's a hint for you shady flipping arensal summoner lets you search for a naturia guardian also against rex you had that you just needed to tribute the possesed 3 star and steal the sphere kuriboh lol
If only your Fairy King Truesdale was Grasschopper, then you could have finished Rex!
i watch shadypenguin all the time. how can u dislike his videos...?
I wish in that last match he used dark soul to take mako's 3 star fisherman!
Hey shadeypenguin i finally Found a youtuber who plays yugioh duel links a lot!! I love the game and watching iT :)
Considering that first player, I'm not surprised people are taking advantage of the NA region...
A FREAKIN DECK WITH 21 CARDS!
Hey Shady! I have a version of the Odion Trap deck if you want to try it. It is a bit stally, but it's a very hard deck to play against if your opponent doesn't have Sealmaster Meisei (who would actually run that anyways lol)
Do you think you'll give the KC cup a little stream?
That 360p though. Still - will watch lol
Naturia Beans works miracles
Hey shady Love your content keep it Up ❤️😎
Balloons.Discard high level monster. Then shallow grave. Your welcome
Shady, I don't know if I should participate in the Kaiba Cup event. I am stage 27 and have some good cards (Mirror Wall, Black Pendant) Do you know a budget deck that can preform well?
See it this way, why wouldnt you participate? even if you dont manage to get to the highest ranks, you still get gems and gold from the missions which are very easy to clear as long as you just play.
A card that lowers the levels of the opponent's monsters would be stupid with Dark Possessed Soul. Snatch everything and do a cheap comeback. Though I'm sure such card doesn't exist in Duel Links.
dude a naturia inscet themed deck there are spells that let you tribute 1 monster on the field to special summon a insect monster 1 level higher thant what you tributed and you can get some very powerful lvl 5 insects from weevil and odion
The title from thumbnail sounds like a psychodelic song title.
kc cup duels start at 5:21
lovely deck !
If you need a card so badly for your deck to function, then have three in your deck.
new pack dropped shady
I would love to participate in this tournament but I don't have the key cards (ex: kuriboh, wonder balloons, metamorph, etc.) to play competitively and that sucks
Shade when your opponent has a face down trap card get in the habit of switching one monster to defense mode and one in attack to counter windstorm. that why if they windstorm you can still get on attack off. this would have saved you against the Rex that used twin headed thunder dragon.
pop those cherries
You should put a riryoku in all the decks its just an awesome card
What if you swapped out your current tribute for 1 or 2 dark magician girls and ran a 2 dark magicians. The dark magicians would let you power up dark magician girl using wonder balloons. (This might be too many things at once but who knows, it might just work out)
Scott Wheler wonder balloons
You should get rid of at least 1 Possessed Dark Soul and put in a spell like Half Shut or an equip. Personally I'd get rid of both PDS's.
Deck Idea: Cosmo Queen Beatdown:
Duelist: Joey
Skill: Life Boost
List:
Dark Effigy
Dark Effigy
Dark Effigy
Double Coston
Double Coston
Cosmo Queen
Cosmo Queen
Cosmo Queen
Sphere Kuribo
4-Starred Ladybug of Doom
Mirror Wall
Mirror Wall
Windstorm of Etaqua
Jar of Greed
Jar of Greed
Jar of Greed
Twister
Stray Lambs
Enemy Controller
The idea is to play a Dark Effigy or Double Coston with Mirror Wall, Kuribo, Controller or Windstorm backup to protect it (Life Boost is the skill, because it allows you to pay for mirror wall TWICE). Afterwards, you just slam Cosmo Queen and beat the opponent down.
Keep in mind that Stray Lambs combo with Enemy controller: You can sacrifice a Token to get their best creature for a turn. You can also sacrifice the lambs to set a Cosmo Queen Facedown turn1.
Maybe this deck wants Trap Jammer for additional protection or something.
Texas Dice would not really work as relinquished is incredibly common plus the glitch...
Can't you econ Relinquished in response to your opponent targeting your monster?
Texas Dice I'm pretty sure putting it in defence won't do anything but I have personally never had the secondary effect used on relinquished so could not answer you there
No, I mean you sacrifice the monster he targets to control Relinquished for a turn. After the turn ends, opponent gets relinquished back and it's a 0 atk 0 def monster with no protection.
Daeff, so many gems! So I guess you spend real cash for all your cards.
New box is here!!!
This deck needs the Balance skill...u could get your wonder balloon more
