But due to huge rule changes, that is not how you play Duel Links.ĭuel Links follows the ' speed duel' beginner format of 2016's Saikyo Card Battle, and I speak no hyperbole when I say it cuts the game in half. Which is where player skill comes in: building a flexible extra deck with tools to protect your combo, and knowing when to commit to a combo. Some decks are designed to stop these explosive strategies, but it's usually better to advance your own crazy combo. Unlike Hearthstone and Magic: The Gathering, many Yu-Gi-Oh decks are expressly about flooding the board and winning in one turn.

Yu-Gi-Oh is a fast-paced, archetype-driven card game where one-turn kills are your bread and butter.
