(+) Yeah! (+)

Do you guys have any prismatic cards? I've seen several of them so far in other people's decks but I didn't realize we ever had a chance to get them
---

Those are like the REALLY shimmery ones right? I actually just pulled my first one, a wicked breaking flamberge baou
---

I pulled one a while back. That mask that prevents attacking and causes 500 damage a turn.

Got about 40 backs of the new box, no URs but I'm sure some of the Rs or SRs I got can be useful.
---

I'm working on getting mai's level up, I really need windstorm of etaqua

I have gotten one ever.
---

I didn't play any PvP yesterday after the new weekly missions popped up and it seems that these KC Cup matches don't count towards the five
---

Only prismatic card I have gotten is the ultra rare sea serpent thing whose name i'm blanking.

Also I'm liking my Mako deck for the KC cup. I've gone like 18-5 so far with it. Still needs some tweaking(need to farm for a couple better lower level monsters), Only time I ever really lose is if they get rid of Umi early on.
---

I guess I'm just going to have to build some stupid gimmicky deck to get this 4,500 point assessment

Divine Wrath is really going to change things for us. Got to get me one... after I get Mirror Wall.
---

What's good from the new set of cards?

Also need to get Nobleman of Extermination. The lack of good chainable S/T makes it dangerous.
---

only SR or higher I got from my free 10 was Pumprincess... which I am completely okay with as it's far more splashable in random decks than Wonder Balloons and I got confirmation that it triggers if killed on the flip.

But man there is just not enough removed from play support yet to make the new removed stuff viable. Hell there's barely any Graveyard support as of yet.

I think I hate the kc cup
---

I'm not a huge fan either
---

Im up to 5 stars using my Mako deck. Currently have won 7 in a row.
---

I'm at 4
---

I guess I don't like it mostly because I'm sad when I lose. I'm at 4 stars now. But I do think there are some problems with how it is implemented as well.
---

I'm at 4 as well. I was one win away from 5 then I lost three in a row
---

At about 7 and a half. I'm enjoying it.
---

I must be playing at the wrong time of day or something. I keep getting within one win of 5 stars and then running into Japanese players with two Mirror Walls in their 1st 4-7 cards.

So here is the pvp deck I'm using right now, I'd love to hear any suggestions on it.

Rex Raptor - Dinosaur Kingdom

3x Element Saurus
3x Crawling Dragon #2
3x Two-Headed King Rex
Twin-Barrel Dragon
Sphere Kuribo
Black Pendant
Wonder Balloons
Shard of Greed
Twister
Order to Charge
Mask of the Accursed
Polymerization
Mirror Wall
Reinforcements

Bracchio-Raidus
---

I'd remove some spells/traps and add Thunder Dragons and another polymerization
---

I still need one more thunder dragon if want to do that, i've been slowly buying the cards from the card trader.
---

I wish I had Mirror Wall
---

I wish I had michizure
---

I'd like to get a Golden Apple
---

Personally, I like Metalmorph over Reinforcements. Worth less during opponents turn, but it can sometimes get through a Mirror Wall. Also, that 300 boost to defense as well can save your dino sometimes if it got switched to defense (not against other Rex decks, but most others can't take out 1800).

And if you have more Bracchio-Raidus then include them in your extra deck. When I run Rex I do a Uraby×3 and Embodiment of Apophis with Orders to Charge×2, and I still include 3 Bracchio-Raidus (with no Polymerization) in my deck. If my opponent uses a Fusion Gate, I plan to take advantage of it as much as I can (and it does happen).
---

Metalmorph has saved me quite a few times
---

---

I'm wondering if I should swap Piercing Moray with Needle Sunfish in my Mako deck for the KC Cup. Any suggestions?
---

If you can get Rex to drop Uraby, I'd eliminate two Element Sauruses and put Uraby in so as to not trigger Leotaur and have more bodies for Order To Charge to trigger off of. Twin-Barrel is also not consistent enough removal to be worth it over Jerry Beans Man most of the time, especially since you're already running both Twister and Michizure.

Revamped my Naturia deck. Running both Wonder Balloons and Pumprincess in it feels absolutely nasty in the best way, and finally got Shard of Greed x2 in order to make it a far more consistent engine. Also I know that Switcheroo is generally the better skill, but I love running it with Joey's Grit, because winning with 1 LP happens way more often than it should and it's amazing.

Here's my deck:

Neo-Daedalus x2
High-Tide Gyojin x2
Unshaven Angler x2
Cure Mermaid
Piercing Moray
Bazoo
Lost Blue Breaker
Yomi Ship
Moray of Greed
Big Wave Small Wave
Wonder Balloons
Riryoku
Twister
Reinforcements x2
Trap Jammer
Windstorm of Etaqua

I don't have Metalmorph or Mirror Wall. I plan on swapping Reinforcements with Sphere Kuriboh. Should I also make room for Michizure?

Absolutely yes, Michizure is that card that goes great with everything. I would get rid of the 2nd reinforcements, it's gonna be hard for a deck to overpower 1800 atk/def already, it seems a bit overkill.
---

Any of you tried a karate man deck?
---

I have not, what does that entail? I know what he does but don't know the support you use for it
---

I recently took trap jammer out of my own deck. It's good for stopping mirror wall, but I found that I never really got when I needed it and when I had it it never activated.

Trap Jammer's been great for me, even if it turns out they don't have a mirror wall, if they have ANY face down trap jammer does a lot towards being able to attack without getting screwed for fear of that mirror wall.

Also Jerry Beans Man gets past 4-starred ladybug which is a huge plus

Use that Tryce equip spell, secret pass to the treasures, then activate his ability to get two attacks of 2,000 direct damage
---

I do have Urabys, but I didn't think they were good enough to be worth using.

I don't think it's really overkill since it helps my monsters get over stuff like Leotaur and one-tributes, but I'll swap in Michizure and see how that goes.

I'm thinking Needle Sunfish will benefit my deck more.
---

I did some more summons and :o

UR Meteor Black Dragon
UR Mirror Wall
SR Djinn both of them. Got 2 of each now
2nd SR Leotaur
2nd SR Shooting Star Bow - Ceal
3rd Ancient Dragon

Now if only I was better at making teams I could make great use of these. Gotta use that Mirror Wall for sure.

I got a third thunder dragon from the card trader, so I figured I would try out that variation of the rex deck. Right now I have something like:

3x Thunder Dragon
3x Two-Headed King Rex
3x Crawling Dragon #2
2x Element Saurus
Sphere Kuribo
Black Pendant
Order To Charge
Shard of Greed
Twister
2x Polymerization
Mirror Wall
Reinforcements

Which leaves me with 21. So I have to at least find a card to pull from it.
---

Oh yeah and Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon and Brachio-Raiduses in the extra deck
---

So does anyone know if the "Free" cards you get from placing in a certain spot in this event will be your pick? Cause man I really want to get at least top 10k to get Gandora
---

I saw a list of the specific cards you choose from on whatever that site is that shows up when you google duel links.

Just got to 6 stars and promptly faced 4 Dino decks in a row. Don't think I'm making top 10,000 amidst the swaths of Japanese players in the NA/SA region.

Yeah I know the list of cards but I dind't know if it was like, you can pick from that or if they jsut randomly pick them for you.
---

That site said you get your pick of the cards.
