Not really. The arrows pointing to stuff does matter, but it's not too bad and most decks don't need to worry too hard. The biggest problem with links is extra linking which is a dumb rule that's not ever made clear in the game and isn't intuitive, and is unfortunately part of the strongest deck type you can build in this game due to it's banlist still having topologic gumblar dragon legal
A few things
So wait, I can special summon a monster from my extra deck to any spot that an arrow from a Link monster is pointing to? Regardless of fusion or cost or whatever?
That's not a quality of life improvement, I'm talking about improvement to menus, shortcuts, etc.
Yes. And if an opponent's link monster points to your space because they have an upward arrow in one of the Extra Monster Zones, this also counts
Regardless of any other effects the monster might have? So, fusion, link, xyz? Just, whatever?
Yes. As far as I know no monster has an effect that requires it to be summoned to the EMZ, though I think some upcoming cards in the real game have effects that only apply when summoned to the EMZ
Holy crap, I've just been using a Link monster as a power card when I haven't pulled anything else.
MIght've missed that one then, I was thinking of https://yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/Flame_Mathmech_Final_Sigma
The other extra monster zone? As I brought up, it can if you are using an extra link, but not if you just have an arrow pointing to them. But extra linking is one of the most degenerate strategies in the game
Extra linking was seriously the dumbest mechanic in the game on so many levels. It's obscenely broken if you pull it off and it's incredibly counter intuitive
Overpowered lol? Anything that isnt Jaden's mirror force is pretty garbage, or incredibly situational for the specific story duel.
Yeah, it really emphasizes how incredibly unrealistically lucky every anime character is
Thankfully I avoided using story decks past 5DS, couldnt imagine trying to do Zexal and Arcv with the new rules
I mean to be fair, his deck wasn't a shit as Weevil's where the story deck gives him a few newer cards so his strategy isn't 100% unusable
Yeah, that was also pretty weird, where a select few duels give random modern cards
I barely have any though and I'm not pulling them. I think I need to unlock new card stores
Invest heavily into the Playmaker pack and you'll have a ton of links. I don't know of any that aren't in his pack.
Really? I did Yuki's deck in his kaiba match and was able to get exodia just cause I had two of the Heart of the Underdog cards on the field and got to like 30 cards in my hand lol.
There are a bunch of basic ones, some which are really useful in good decks, in the grandpa pack, and a few archetype linked ones in other packs (Like the galaxy eyes link is in the Kite pack with the rest of the galaxy eyes cards) but yeah playmaker pack has a lot of them. Playmaker pack also just generally has a lot of powerful newer archetypes and cards really
1. Click your deck during your turn to surrender.
Will do, any particular packs or challenges to look for them in?
Pray you get de spell. Hit the underdog asap. Once he has multiple you're probably doomed.
