➤ Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links: Better decks 🕹

Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel links is one of the most recent iterations of the brand in the world of video games and is a title that allows the player to experiment and create decks to play both against artificial intelligence and against the computer. Unlike the very recent Cross Duel (here the guide to the best decks of the title) the gameplay is the classic one of the saga: two players challenge each other with decks of forty cards to see who is the best on the field, in a challenge to the last life point.

Knowing all the rules of the game may not be enough to lead the player to victory: the great variety of decks and the huge number of cards available to human imagination is what can make the difference between victory and defeat.

If Empen's effect is not interrupted the player can draw flowandereeze and the dreaming town
Play Dreaming town blanket and end the round
During your opponent's turn, activate dreaming town to summon Robina. Using Robin's effect, you can draw from the barrier statue of the stormwinds deck and then resolving Eggend's effect from the graveyard, you can return it to your hand before the end of the turn
At this point play eglend to tutor a card of your choice between mist valley apex avian or raiza the mega monarch

Among the various decks present here Dryton Fairy is undoubtedly one of the most convoluted to make work. The goal of the deck is to use the multiple synergies between its creatures to get the better of the opponent. Having fairies in hand and Herald Of Ultimateness player, for example, is a good way to start the game with a good control advantage. HOU allows you to finish the first round without letting the other players activate combos: from then on, all you have to do is set some win condition using the cards in your hand to gain an advantage over the other players.
