2019-10-3132 minThe Chain Link Podcast!E14- Spirit of the Beasts Review & Event Exclusive Cards!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!

2019-09-2343 minThe Chain Link Podcast!E9- Last Month's Meta & Boxed Benchwarmers: Reptilianne!Not much happened to the meta in the month of August that we haven't already addressed.

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?
