It is time to duel! In this article, I will show you how to play the Link Generation deck in Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel. Check it out now and learn how to use all seven powerful cards that were recently revealed for this new edition of the game!
The “best yugioh deck” is a type of card game that is played with a 52-card deck. The objective of the game is to be the first player to have all their cards in play, which are represented by monsters and spells.
For most of Yu-Gi-existence, Oh’s the sluggish pace at which players grew their fields was a key fault in the TCG’s main gameplay loop. Later decks experimented with different ways of quickly summoning and combining more monsters into play, resulting in the link system, which is both incredibly strong and technically sophisticated. The Link Generation structure deck, which took full use of link monsters, was designed for experienced players who could make the most of contemporary and complicated fusions.
Advantages: There is strength in numbers.

In essence, summoning a link monster is as easy as combining two standard monsters to create a link monster with a link rating of two — or, in this example, joining two different standard monsters to create a link monster with a link rating of two.
Players may procedurally combine link monsters and normal monsters to fuse even higher-rated link monsters, assuming they can actively summon enough monsters to feed these fusions, with each summoned link monster earning its link rating for the sake of higher-leveled link fusions.
The deck rewards players who can optimize their use of link monsters, reserving regular monsters for the specific purpose of fusing rather than battle, thanks to the Cynet Universe field spell, which passively enhances the ATK of every active link monster on the player’s field by 300.

Drawbacks: It’s a free-to-play game.

The feasibility of chaining link fusions is highly reliant on “extenders,” or cards that may be used to special summon weak standard monsters to the field. These cards help the link process by allowing the player to execute more links in a single turn.
By default, Link Generation lacks several of these extenders, depending nearly entirely on cards like Cynet Cascade and Link Spider to special summon regular monsters — and only in the case of these two cards, if a prior link summon has been made.
If the player’s hand runs out of extenders and monsters, their front line is likely to consist only of Link Spiders and LANphorhynchus at the conclusion of their turn. These monsters, with their easily surmountable 1000 and 1200 ATK, would anxiously await a passing brisk wind to upend them, wasting the numerous cards invested in summoning them.
The majority of the link monsters provided in the basic deck do not have the genuine upside anticipated for their cost, which is Link Generation’s second main flaw. Even though Decode Talker may be summoned in a single turn if the player’s whole opening hand is lucky, it lacks the basic ATK necessary to combat even moderately strong bruisers.

Link climbing and a few ideas for problem-solving

When using the basic Link Generation deck, players should choose opening hands that have a lot of monsters in them. Prioritizing the cards that create “token” monsters is a wonderful technique to increase the number of monsters available for linking.
Tokens, despite their lack of genuine numerical strength, may be created in large numbers and individually count as a complete regular monster for linking purposes. A couple of the cards in Link Generation are dedicated to the creation of tokens.
- While this card is active, Link Streamer – special summons one token for every monster summoned, naturally or otherwise.
- When the player is directly attacked, Spool Code summons up to three tokens, as long as the player’s graveyard contains three or more monsters.
The red triangles grouped around the portraits of link monsters may also be seen by players. These triangles represent “points,” or the directions in which their unique effects occur in the field slots. Different types of pointer effects exist.
- Link Spider – summons a normal monster in the slot right behind it as a special summon.
- Decode Talker – adds 500 ATK to each allied monster diagonally behind it, as well as the opponent monster immediately in front of it.
Should the dangers of Link Generation’s fusions prove too difficult for the ordinary novice, advises the Synchro of Unity structure deck’s simple but strong fusions.
