This guide is designed for all the new players to Yu-Gi-Oh duel links.
Card Boxes
When it comes to the card packs in the game, Ultimate Rising is a really good pack to start with it. It was one of the first packs put into the game and its cards are a little outdated because of how old the box is but it still has really good support cards in it.
Sphere Kuriboh is a good example of this, a card a lot of people use. Also Sonic Bird, which is a strong 4-star monster.
Age of Discovery is another good box, also added early in the game. This pack has a lot of Water support so it’s good for recent pack releases that focused a lot on water cards.
Though if you are new I wouldn’t suggest starting with either of these two packs because they are outdated. But they are useful as you get further.
If you’re a brand new player and you have the money for it I recommend starting with the Crimson Kingdom box. Build yourself a Red-Eyes deck because it has the Red-Eyes zombie dragons which are really good for Red-Eyes decks.
It’s also got Dark Paladin which is one of the strongest fusions in the game and great for farming decks. So this is a great one for newbies with money.
But if you’re a new player who just has the starting gems to work with I highly suggest Galactic Origin. It’s a really powerful box and probably the best one in the game.
I’d recommend trying to pull the rare cards like Mirror Wall or Saphira. It’s got a lot of the Gladiator Beast cards, Cosmic Cyclone is another good card for support.
So the best way to go about buying cards is focusing on one box instead of several at one time. If you pull from different boxes all at once you’ll never get the cards you actually want and you’ll just run out of gems.
Focus on one box to try and pull the cards you want from it. As you do you’ll get everything you need, so just go full in on the one box.
I would stay away from Resonance of Contrast for now. It has Slash Dragon and some fun cards to work with but nothing is too meta changing and a lot of the cards rely on other cards from the box.
So just focus on Galactic Origin, the Crimson Kingdom is okay, Neo Impact as well to get Mirror Wall. So that’s the boxes, just remember to go for one box at a time and go for Gladiator Beasts because they’re one of the best decks for the lowest price.
The Duel Gate
A lot of people don’t realize how helpful the Duel Gate is for new players. Smoking crack like a pro. With the Duel Gate, you can duel characters like Joey, Mai, and the big guys like Kaiba.
The best thing about it is they give cards you can get for free by beating them. Kaiba especially because he has Enemy Controller and Blue-Eyes.

So be sure to farm Kaiba for those, Bandit Keith for Rare Metalmorph, Gravekeepers from Ishizu. The gate is really good and free way to get cards.
Decks
For decks, a lot of new players see people using well built high power decks for competitive play. When you’re new you do not need to be using decks like this.
You can have the most powerful Cyber Angel deck for comp play when you’re new and still get stomped by someone else because you don’t know how to use it. When you’re a rookie you need to be using a rookie deck and build yourself up as you get better.
When you first start you only have access to Yugi and Kaiba as characters in the beginning. Because of that you’re only gonna have one Deck Skill for each of them until you level up.
We’ll start with Yugi who starts with Power of Dark, which immediately casts Yami in the duel. So what you wanna do is filter your cards to focus on Fiend and Spellcaster cards because Power of Dark compliments those cards.
What you wanna make sure you do is not put to many level 7, 6, or 5 monsters in your deck. You want as many level 4 monsters as possible and sort them by ATK.
This way it’ll filter your monsters showing the strongest 4-star monsters first. So what you wanna do is get all the level 4 monsters you can with high ATK and put them in your deck.
But make sure you read their effects as well cause you don’t wanna put in a card that will do absolutely nothing for you. You want to at least have about 10 4-star monsters in your deck, Spellcaster, and Fiend for Power of Dark.
Then you can put level 5 or 6 monsters for your last two slots just to have some powerful monsters in there. Next, you wanna work on Spells and Traps because they’re very important.

You don’t wanna add too many for an early deck and Enemy Controller is a great Spell card to use. You can get this from Kaiba so it’s easy to obtain.
One-Shot Wand is a good Spellcaster equip card, you can get this from the Card Trader. Just look for cards that you think will work really well with your deck, but don’t run field spells if your deck skill acts as one.
Riryoku is another good spell card to use as well. As for Traps, you wanna get some basic support for yourself and nothing to fancy.
Mirror Wall is one of the best if you got it. Windstorm of Etaqua is a powerful trap you can get by leveling up Mai Valentine later in the game.
Another free card is Curse of Anubis which is similar to Windstorm but for effect monsters. You can get Anubis from Odion or Ishizu.

Next, we’ll quickly go over a good rookie Deck set up for Seto Kaiba users. Seto Kaiba has the Deck Skill Peak Performance which powers up all Dragon monsters.
Basically, all you need to do is get Mirage Dragon from the Card Trader and you basically win. Mirage Dragon stops trap cards from being used when attacking so you pretty much have nothing to fear running a bunch of Dragons in a deck with a skill that boosts your dragons.
So other cards like Luster Dragon and Lancer Lindwurm are good. So for Kaiba, you want to get Peak Performance than a bunch of 4-star Dragons with Mirage Dragon.
You can also use Auto-Deck which builds a deck for you. That way you can see what it makes for you then edit it the way you think the deck will work better.
The most important thing about building decks is making sure you don’t flood it with too many Spells or Traps that keep you from getting your Monsters. Every deck needs a balance so you really have to watch what you’re putting in.
The popular mobile game Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Linksrecently kicked off its newest event, dubbed 'The Destiny Board of Doom', on March 23. This event will run throughout the week, and features the final antagonist of the classic series --Yami Bakura.
This iconic villain can be pretty tough to beat when you face off with him. But we're here with some tips and tricks to help you deal with the evil spirit and his group of ghastly ghouls.
Tips for Beating Yami Bakura
Collect plenty of dice from other duelists
To participate in the Board of Doom event, you must be at least stage 4. In order to duel Yami Bakura, first you have to collect enough Ten-Sided Dice to challenge him. Ten Sided Dice are obtained by defeating other duelists in Duel World, and the amount you can win increases depending on how high your stage level is. You can also receive 10 additional Ten-Sided Dice twice a day.
How many Ten-Sided Dice you need to challenge Yami Bakura depends on what level he is, and increases with each version. Yami Bakura starts at level 10, which only takes five Ten-Sided Dice. But he has other versions at level 20, 30, and 40 -- each of which is unlocked after defeating the previous one. There is also a level 50 version which can only be unlocked once you've accumulated an unspecified amount of event points from dueling him.
Once you have collected 200,000 event points, Yami Bakura is unlocked as a playable character.
Pay attention to the time limit
Yami Bakura's 'Destiny Board of Doom' ability does a number of things. It always allows him to go first, gives him the power to automatically win the duel at the end of the player's fifth turn, and lets him start with 'Dark Necrofear' in the graveyard. However, this skill is negated when 'Dark Necrofear' is no longer in the graveyard, and it cannot be special summoned from the graveyard either.
The first two abilities are the most important, and a well balanced deck is the best way to deal with them. Since your turns are pretty limited, starting with a bad hand could cost you the duel. At level 10, this time limit isn't much of a problem since Yami focuses on summoning weaker monsters -- but it becomes more apparent as his level increases. At higher levels, sometimes making even one wrong move is enough for him to defeat you.
Use monsters with high ATK and ATK boosting cards

Yami Bakura's deck is meant to stall time so he can proc his automatic win. With that in mind, a decent strategy is to summon monsters with high ATK as fast as possible.
For lower level monsters, 'Jerry Beans Man' (ATK 1750/DEF 0) is always a good choice, as long as it isn't switched to defense mode. The spell card 'Tribute Doll' is a good way to get a strong level seven monster on the field quickly, but it can't attack when it is first summoned -- so it's best to do this on your first turn if you're able to.
Using equip spells and other ATK boosting cards is a great method as well. Equip spells such as 'Black Pendant' and 'Gravity Axe Grarl' to boost your chances of surviving the fight. The spell card 'Banner of Courage' is another card which may work in your favor.
Depending on your deck, you could also use a duelist with a skill which allows a field card to be played automatically at the beginning of a duel. For example, you might want to play as Seto Kaiba and use his 'Peak Performance' skill when playing with a deck that centers around Dragon-Type or Winged-Beast-Type monsters.
Be wary of effect monsters
At stronger levels, Yami Bakura has a couple of effect monsters you should watch out for. When he's on the defensive, he likes to set 'Electric Lizard'. It's a good idea to use the 'Stop Defense' spell card. But it's better to do this when you have no monsters on the field, or at least have another monster readily available in your hand -- in case he has set 'Man-Eater Bug'. Another wise choice in this situation would be 'Order to Charge'.
For a more direct approach to dealing with Yami Bakura's weaker effect monsters, 'Wicked Flamberge Baou' is a beneficial equip card. 'Baou' provides a 500 point ATK boost to one of your monsters, and can negate the effects of any monster destroyed by the monster which has it equipped.
When he's on the offensive, typically his strongest card is 'Dark Ruler Ha Des', which can be a lot of trouble if you don't destroy it right away. 2450 ATK isn't too hard to deal with if you can get strong monsters and equip cards on the field fast. You could also lower its ATK with trap cards like 'Curse of Aging'.
The effect of 'Ha Des' can be another problem. It allows Yami Bakura to negate the effects of monsters destroyed in battle with Fiend-Type monsters he controls, and is also a Fiend-Type monster itself. So let's say you set a monster which can destroy other monsters by flipping or defeat in battle -- due to the effect of 'Ha Des,' your monster could get destroyed without getting to activate its own effect.
An alternate method to get rid of 'Ha Des' would be to use a spell card like 'Block Attack' or 'Earthquake' to force it into defense mode, as it only has 1600 DEF. 'Shield & Sword' would work to, if you want to do some damage to Yami Bakura's life points.
Be prepared to counter spell & trap cards
In addition to his special skill and annoying effect monsters, Yami Bakura has some irritating spell and trap cards in his deck as well. Watch out for spell cards like 'Soul Exchange', 'Enemy Controller', and 'Exchange', which he plays to use your own monsters against you. Having cards like 'De-Spell' and 'Magic Jammer' in your deck could really help fight against these and other troublesome spell cards.
He also has trap cards like 'Time Machine', which brings back one of his recently destroyed monsters to stall for time. 'Nobleman of Extermination' is a great way to get rid of 'Time Machine' before he gets the chance to activate it, and 'Remove Trap' is always a useful spell card to have in your deck. If you feel victory in your grasp, the spell card 'Timidity' can prevent him from setting spell or trap cards for a turn -- but can be a risky move due to the time limit.
If you have an affinity for Dragon-Type monsters, then 'Stamping Destruction' is another fine choice to deal with spell or trap cards, and additionally deals life point damage.
Use his own strategies against him
Another clever move is giving Yami Bakura a taste of his own medicine by using monsters like 'Dharc the Dark Charmer' or 'Ghost Knight of Jackal' to take his monsters and use them as your own. This method also helps to save time, since you'll have monsters on your side of the field right away.
----
There are plenty of other strategies to defeat Yami Bakura, but these are a few of the most effective methods for dealing with this obnoxious occultist.
'Fear The Deck of Terror! The Destiny Board of Doom' only runs until April 2, so make sure to keep collecting Ten-Sided Dice and dueling Yami Bakura while you still have the chance. There may not be a way to obtain some of his rare cards or unlock him as a playable character in the future.
