Hi, I'm yuduki.
Today I continue with a very good deck that could have been the strongest without SPYRAL.
The best Legacy of Duelist Link Evolution deck 3
Salamangreat
The majority of participants at the 2019 World Championships used this deck, and the finals of both the general and primary school sections were mirror matches of this deck. Mirror matches were also frequent throughout the tournament. It is a very strong deck.
Salamangreat Balelynx is very easy to make, it searches for the Sanctuary of the Reincarnated Flame Beast and can protect Salamangreat on the field from destruction by removing it from the graveyard.
Salamangreat Spinny is an excellent card to facilitate Link Summoning, and Salamangreat Wolvie and Salamangreat Falco make a strong comeback from the graveyard to your hand.
Salamangreat Foxy can be used to gain an advantage, and if you make a Salamangreat Balelynx and send it to the graveyard on the first turn, it can be used to destroy your opponent's Macro Cosmos.
| Salamangreat Foxy | |
| Attribute | FIRE |
| Level | 3 |
| Monster Type | Cyberse |
| Card Type | Effect |
| ATK | 1000 |
| DEF | 1200 |
| Card Text | |
| When this card is Normal Summoned: You can excavate the top 3 cards of your Deck, and if you do, you can add 1 excavated "Salamangreat" card to your hand, also shuffle the rest into the Deck. If this card is in your GY, and a face-up Spell/Trap is on the field: You can discard 1 "Salamangreat" card; Special Summon this card, then you can destroy 1 face-up Spell/Trap on the field. You can only use 1 "Salamangreat Foxy" effect per turn, and only once that turn. | |
Salamangreat Sunlight Wolf has a very good effect for gaining advantage.
It can return monsters sent to the Graveyard by the effects of Salamangreat Gazelle and Salamangreat Gazelle to your hand. However, I think it's too much to reincarnate Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring. This one is not a Salamangreat lol
This card has another effect: Will of the Salamangreat, Salamangreat Roar or Salamangreat Rage will come back from the graveyard to your hand. If you send them to the graveyard with Salamangreat Gazelle first, you will have searched for them.

| Card Text | |
| 2 FIRE Effect Monsters If a monster(s) is Normal or Special Summoned to the zone(s) this card points to (except during the Damage Step): You can add 1 FIRE monster from your GY to your hand, but for the rest of this turn, you cannot Normal Summon/Set or Special Summon monsters with the added monster's name. During your Main Phase, if you control this card that was Link Summoned using "Salamangreat Sunlight Wolf" as material: You can add 1 "Salamangreat" Spell/Trap from your GY to your hand. You can only use each effect of "Salamangreat Sunlight Wolf" once per turn. | |
Salamangreat Heatleo is a vicious monster that attacks directly to the opponent player's mind by repeating the summoning movie. It cleans out the Magic & Trap Zone, and is protected by Salamangreat Balelynx in the Graveyard, and is revived by Will of the Salamangreat.
Salamangreat's cyber nature means that he can use Lady Debug and Cynet Mining for stability, and he can also use Prohibit Snake to support his low attack power and get past his opponent's Black Luster Soldier - Soldier of Chaos and Mekk-Knight Crusadia Avramax.
In Cyberse, Transcode Talker, Update Jammer and Mekk-Knight Crusadia Avramax are also excellent cards, and although they are not supported by Salamangreat cards, they are almost essential.
Weaknesses of Salamangreat
Salamangreat's weaknesses are few, but there is one glaringly huge weakness.
Earth Golem @Ignister's Super Polymerization was very effective. Super Polymerization doesn't allow chaining, so Salamangreat Roar can't be activated, and if there are no Salamangreat monsters on the field, Salamangreat Roar and Salamangreat Rage can't be used, and there is no way to stop your opponent's expansion.
Predaplant Verte Anaconda, Starving Venom Fusion Dragon or Mudragon of the Swamp are so versatile that you can add two Super Polymerizations to any deck! Just by adding Earth Golem @ Ignistar in it, you can counter Salamangreat.
Dark Magician
Everyone loves Yugi's Dark Magician, it's very popular and very strong. Mr. Light, the world's number one ranked player in this game, uses this deck most often after Doomking Balerdroch, and Obliterator, the world's number two ranked player, also enjoys this deck.
Seto Kaiba's deck is also very popular, but Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon are surprisingly weak. I feel sorry for them, but they were not good in this game.
The way this deck is played can be likened to "Doomking Balerdroch + Witchcraft". The very first thought is to aim to send Dark Magician to the graveyard.
| Magicians' Souls | |
| Attribute | DARK |
| Level | 1 |
| Monster Type | Spellcaster |
| Card Type | Effect |
| ATK | 0 |
| DEF | 0 |
| Card Text | |
| You can send up to 2 Spells/Traps from your hand and/or field to the GY; draw that many cards. If this card is in your hand: You can send 1 Level 6 or higher Spellcaster monster from your Deck to the GY, then activate 1 of these effects; ●Special Summon this card. ●Send this card to the GY, then, you can Special Summon 1 "Dark Magician" or 1 "Dark Magician Girl" from your GY. You can only use each effect of "Magicians' Souls" once per turn. | |
The best way to do this is to Special Summon Magicians' Souls and send Dark Magician to the Graveyard. You can then use the second effect to gain advantage by discarding cards that would benefit from going to the graveyard.
Magician Navigation's graveyard effect can also stop normal magic and normal traps, just like Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Abyss, so it's like setting up a Dark Bribe that can be triggered at no cost when discarded with Magicians' Souls.
This is a common combo in Witchcraft if you want to take advantage of discarding magic, but when Magician's Restage is sent to the graveyard, you can add Magician's Left Hand or Magician's Right Hand to your hand, giving you a card that can control the field without reducing your advantage.
Soul Servant's graveyard effect is very good as it leads to a lot of draws. It's a maximum of 4 draws.
You can also activate it as magic without discarding it with Magicians' Souls. If you activate this card and draw the card brought to the top of the deck by the graveyard effect of this card, it can be an indirect search. If so, you can search Magicians' Souls too.
Magician's Rod can be Normal Summoned to add 1 Magic or Trap card with the card name "Dark Magician" from the Deck to your hand. The basic move is to add Eternal Soul if you have a Dark Magician in your hand or Graveyard, or Dark Magical Circle if you don't.
| Dark Magical Circle | |
| Effect | Continuous Spell |
| Card Text | |
| When this card is activated: Look at the top 3 cards of your Deck, then you can reveal 1 "Dark Magician" or 1 Spell/Trap that specifically lists the card "Dark Magician" in its text, among them, and add it to your hand, also place the remaining cards on top of your Deck in any order. If "Dark Magician" is Normal or Special Summoned to your field (except during the Damage Step): You can target 1 card your opponent controls; banish it. You can only use each effect of "Dark Magical Circle" once per turn. | |
The Dark Magical Circle is the star of this deck, and it is the card you want to have in your hand at all costs. If you're lucky, you'll be able to add Dark Magician cards to your hand, and if you Special Summon Dark Magician, you'll be able to remove cards from your opponent's field.
If you think about it, when Dark Magician comes into play, ABC-Dragon Buster's effect is triggered without any hand cost, which is a threat. This deck can easily Special Summon Dark Magician on your turn or your opponent's turn, so you can easily dominate the field while damaging your opponent's mental capacity with your persistent Summoning movies. I think it's foul to have ABC-Dragon Buster in a deck that is very strong against magic and traps.
When the Dark Magicians are lined up, it's time to Exeze Summon, and when Ebon Illusion Magician comes into play, you get more Dark Magicians and the Dark Magical Circle effect when it attacks.
The fusion card The Dark Magicians is also very good. Every time a Magic or Trap is activated, you can draw, and when it is destroyed, Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl are Special Summoned.
Weaknesses of the Dark Magician
All of its main effects are targeted effects, it lacks high-attack monsters, and it has difficulty dealing with monster effects. This means that Black Luster Soldier - Soldier of Chaos and Mekk-Knight Crusadia Avramax are weak.
Mekk-Knight Crusadia Avramax has several countermeasures, including Raigeki and Magicians' Combination, but Black Luster Soldier - Soldier of Chaos is extremely annoying because it cannot be destroyed by an effect.
| Black Luster Soldier - Soldier of Chaos | |
| Attribute | EARTH |
| Link | 3 |
| Monster Type | Warrior |
| Card Type | Link/Effect |
| ATK | 3000 |
| DEF | - |
| Card Text | |
| 3 monsters with different names If this card was Link Summoned using a Level 7 or higher monster(s) as material, your opponent cannot target it with card effects, also it cannot be destroyed by your opponent's card effects. When this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle: You can activate 1 of these effects; ●This card gains 1500 ATK. ●This card can make a second attack during the Battle Phase of your next turn. ●Banish 1 card on the field. | |
So when Yuduki finds out that his opponent's deck is Dark Magician, he will try to build Black Luster Soldier - Soldier of Chaos at all costs.
In fact, it can be dealt with by using Super Polymerization to create Dark Cavalry, but so far no one has been able to get through it that way.
Since Eternal Soul and Magician's Left are traps, it is slow to create a situation where Predaplant Verte Anaconda + Dark Magician.
In many cases, Black Luster Soldier - Soldier of Chaos can attack first, and when the exclusion effect removes Eternal Soul, it also triggers the suicide effect, so the opponent's reversal plan is foiled.
