The Chain Link Podcast!

Halloween needs some Duel Links love! Theres so much potential amongst Fiends, Zombies, and Spellcasters that just doesn't get tapped into. Also, both EHeroAndrew and I talk about our favorite decks in our Boxed Benchwarmers segment. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/pbdub/support

I'm enjoying Wind Ups! They have the tools to make it in this meta, in my opinion. The rest of the box...ehh, i dont know. Also, lets look at Duel Links and Legends of Runeterra from a deckbuilder's perspective. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/pbdub/support

I love the direction this box is heading. New Wind Ups, Heraldic Beasts, and most importantly TOOLBOX CARDS! But are they useful right this moment? Not sure. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/pbdub/support

We had quite a few recording hiccups along the way for this one, but Zexal is here and we are HYPE! The banlist has a lot of new changes to it and they were all very necessary. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/pbdub/support

We are so ready for Zexal World! We are entering an era of amazing Extra Deck Bosses. Tune in and join the discussion! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/pbdub/support

It's been quite some time since I last played. In the time we gained a cohost! R31GN and I talked about the beauty of XYZ summoning and potentially whats to come for Duel Links! Tune in to check it out! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/pbdub/support

You guys know I've been really burnt out of Duel Links. Here are my thoughts on the recent events and upcoming Zexal World.

Please for the love of Ra, GIVE ME ZEXAL

Yeah I'm late. But this box...this one is for the investors like me.

It's been a minute but we are back with a new box to review. But, is it good? Well...

Yeah, heres yet another skill that needs to be reworked. Also the new box we're getting...is not that good. Why? Tune in and find out!

It's been a long while since the last episode. I'm gonna play catch up with all that I'm missed due to stabilizing myself due to COVID 19. KC Cup is here! Also, let's make a case for Adamancipator in Duel Links!

Banlist anticipation is finally over! The new limits completely warp the meta. Even better, a fantastic new box is the icing on top.

What's up guys! Last podcast, I reviewed Trap Card 2 the mixtape and this week I brought the man on the podcast. Token wanted to stream the interview, which was something new but it was very fun. This week, I put Token on to how Duel Links has been and he shares insight from the TCG side of things on what decks could come to Duel Links and what decks should Duel Links players play if they wanted to go to locals. Definitely tune in and enjoy!

KC Cup season is upon us! With it, we KNOW Rebalancing is coming soon after. So what is shaking in the meta at the moment and what needs to be fixed? Also, I would love to get some strong Rituals in the mix again. Lastly, if you haven't listened to Trap Card 2, the HELL ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!

Cmon y'all. You guys know why TGLG is so damn strong and just how to rectify it. We'll get into the nitty gritty in this week's episode. Also, this mini box is...putting me in an off mood. Just...let's add that to the agenda as well.

We are going to be trying out a new name in 2020. Welcome to the rebranded Chain Link podcast. I'll be talking about the recent box and future investment in Duel Links as well as my overall gripes with PvP!

Man, 2019 is over and what an exciting year it was. So many changes to the meta, so many new cards, so many changes to the way we play Duel Links. Tune in to recap the year as we dip our toes into what 2020 has in store for us.

I finally got a deck I been wanting since Synchros were announced for Duel Links! Let me gush about them for a minute. Also, let's discuss the trash that is Legend 4 & 5. Finally, we wrap up all the KoGs for the year. Who knows what's in store for KoGs in 2020.

KC Cup has come and gone and with it (along with an incredible main box) the meta shifted once again. I usually don't take the KC Cup seriously and just hoard all the gems but one deck made me really want to have fun AND compete and that was...Monarchs? Tune in to hear how well these kings did on the ladder.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! This week's episode is focused on the history of Zombie decks in Duel Links starting from Zombie Gemini all the way to Vendreads and beyond. Also, its clearly the time for a graveyard smash...but Bonz isn't getting an event?! We need to rectify that! We give possible drop rewards for Bonz focused around the playful Ghostrick archetype! Tune in to check it out.

This new minibox is...rather lackluster. The archetypes in it are both missing just ONE card that would make them at least somewhat decent in my eyes. But if you are a duelist who invested in some rogue decks before, now is the time for those decks to tier because the addition supports here are fantastic! Also, when are we getting these event exclusive cards?! Its been way too long!

Konami hit us with a CRAZY ban list. So many skills were changed, so many cards were moved, and many decks are affected. But who are the winners and losers of this banlist? Tune in to find out!

In this week's episode we talk about the abundance of engines in Duel Links and their impact in the meta. Tune in to hear me break down Magician Girls, Invoked, Parshath, and Neos Fusion as well as talk about some spice with Keeper of Dragon Magic!

DSOD World is here and with it comes new cards...as all new worlds do. How good are these cards? We gotta wait to see how the meta plays out in order to get that answer. But we try to spot the best cards out of the structure deck and new main box in this episode.

I finally got time to catch up on the events and happenings of Duel Links! We cover the Fantastic Pegasus event, KC Cup as well as the GX Chronicles:Yubel event and my takes on all of them. Also, DSOD World is quite literally around the corner! I hope we get some interesting content. More content from the TCG would be fun to me, so I discuss what I think would be some great archetypes to make their way from the TCG to Duel Links. Tune in and check it out!

Not much happened to the meta in the month of August that we haven't already addressed. There were the chances to Six Sams and Subterrors but that's old old news now. The meta has been quite boring, but maybe that's just me! The real spice is in the cold blooded breakdown of Reptiliannes. They recieved ONE piece of Legacy support?! They need MORE!

Wanted to give you guys an extra episode this week because I have a dentist appointment tomorrow and I dont know how well I'll be speaking next week. Anyways, I wanted to share my thoughts on DSOD world and express my frustration with what it means for Duel Links (in my opinion). Also, I get into the archetypes in the upcoming Valhalla Calling BOX releasing 8/31. What do I think will be strong from the box? Tune in a find out!

Okay, so we recorded this before DSOD was confirmed...so bare with us. Chris and I discuss the changes to ranking up in PvP. Also, we talk about our hopes for Zexal world, if it ever comes.

Just wanted to give you guys a quick episode today since I am on vacation. I've noticed that these cards that dont make much of a splash in the TCG have been morphing the meta in Duel Links. From Fur Hire to World Lecagy Clash, Konami has been taking these cards and tossing them into Duel Links without playtesting how they would shape the meta. Should they keep doing this?

New box dropped tonight and it has some...decent toys to play with. Will they be meta? I dont know. Also, we discuss the emergency limit to Enishi and its impact on Six Samurais.

Sorry for the audio hiccup. First half was recorded on my phone. Then my laptop wrecked the second half of the recording so I had to record it quickly on my laptop to finish the episode. This episode, we talk about the last month's diverse PvP meta and jump into our first Boxed Benchwarmer: MONARCHS!

Cash rules everything around me...well at least when it comes to Duel Links. Bysshe and I talk about the power a dollar holds in Duel Links PvP.

In this weekend's episode, Benchy digs deep into the banlist, boxes, events and their relationship with PvP and the future potential for low rarity cards. Check me out at @ProBenchWarmer_ on Twitter!

What one card would boost the viability of these horrible decks in Duel Links? Tune in to find out.
