The latest Minibox has brought us a very strong Tier 1 Skill-sucking deck, Black Luster Soldier. But now we're not here to talk about that damn deck, but Toons-one of the new Decks with support in this minibox!!
The annoying possibility is off the table. Although you have to wait a beat, it can OTK relatively well with the ability to attack directly.
Honestly, this deck is not strong enough to compete with meta decks, but nonetheless this is a very fun and tireless F2P deck to play, suitable for newbies and anyone who wants to troll or find new feelings.
So let's go see what this deck has and try it right away in the Game!! (because it's f2p so easy to build :v)
Instructions for playing Toons
Sections covered in this guide:
Style play
Toons in Duel Links currently have 2 main gameplay styles using 2 different skills:
- Toon OTK : The most popular gameplay style of Toons today, focusing on direct attacks, stealing monsters and playing around Skill Toonvitation
- Toon It will still be fine on turn 1 but turn 2 is not weak either
Skill
Toonvitation (Skill Card) (99%)
Toonvitation (Skill Card)
ATK:
0
DEF:
0
During this Duel, you can Normal Summon/Set Toon monsters without Tributing. You can only Normal or Special Summon monsters that have 0 ATK, monsters that your opponent is the original owner, or Toon monsters. Also you can activate the following effect once per turn and twice per Duel. Return 1 card from your hand to the Deck, and add 1 Toon World to your hand from outside of your Deck.
Toon monsters would be no different from bricks without " Toon World ", so a complementary skill for this is out of the question. This is Pegasus's new skill and is probably the best for Toon so far. Exchanging a card for Toon World helps us save deck slots and saves us from eating cosmic
However, in return we will be limited and almost unable to summon anything in the Extra deck, so we can fill the extra to fake the enemy but they will have no effect.
Monster
Toon versions of monsters have effects similar to their originals, however they cannot attack on the turn they are Summoned, so they are quite weak.
x0
Toon Cyber Dragon
ATK:
2100
DEF:
1600
If your opponent controls a monster and you control no monsters, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). Cannot attack the turn it is Summoned. While you control "Toon World" and your opponent controls no Toon monsters, this card can attack your opponent directly.
Toon Ancient Gear Golem
ATK:
3000
DEF:
3000
Cannot attack the turn it is Summoned. While you control "Toon World" and your opponent controls no Toon monsters, this card can attack your opponent directly. If this card attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing battle damage to your opponent. If this card attacks, your opponent cannot activate any Spell/Trap Cards until the end of the Damage Step.
In general, they have quite high ATK and effects are up to 80% similar to the original. However, the effect they bring is insignificant, so it's just for mentioning and should not be included :v
Toon Dark Magician Girl and Toon Black Luster Soldier (x3 BLS)
Toon Dark Magician Girl
ATK:
2000
DEF:
1700
Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must first be Special Summoned (from your hand) by Tributing 1 monster, while you control "Toon World". If "Toon World" on the field is destroyed, destroy this card. Can attack your opponent directly, unless they control a Toon monster, in which case this card must target a Toon monster for its attacks. Gains 300 ATK for every "Dark Magician" or "Magician of Black Chaos" in either player's GY.
Toon Black Luster Soldier
ATK:
3000
DEF:
2500
Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must first be Special Summoned (from your hand) by Tributing Toon monsters from your hand or field, whose total Levels equal 8 or more. While you control "Toon World" and your opponent controls no Toon monsters, this card can attack directly. Once per turn, if you control "Toon World": You can target 1 card on the field; banish it, also this card cannot attack the turn this effect is activated.
These are two special cases in Toons, they can attack on the turn they are Summoned. But maybe I'll just mention Toon Black Luster Soldier:
- Toon Black Luster Soldier is what I would consider a boss in our deck, not only can it attack the first turn it is put on the field but it can also be used to banish any threats Any threat from the field can be targeted as long as you control a Toon Kingdom (In fact it even costs an attack roll if this effect is used).
- Tip - you can always banish with this card's effect, then use it as a tribute to another Toon BLS in your hand, as this card can Attack immediately but cannot attack after use banish effect (generally to optimize the effect).
Toon Barrel Dragon (x0-1)
Toon Barrel Dragon
ATK:
2600
DEF:
2200
Cannot attack the turn it is Summoned. While you control "Toon World" and your opponent controls no Toon monsters, this card can attack your opponent directly. Once per turn: You can target 1 card on the field; toss a coin 3 times and destroy it if at least 2 of the results are Heads.
If we don't have x3 Toon BLS, we can use this card to help because it also has the ability to discard opp's card (but no luck :v)
Toon Dark Magician (x3)
Toon Dark Magician
ATK:
2500
DEF:
2100
Cannot attack the turn it is Summoned. While you control "Toon World" and your opponent controls no Toon monsters, this card can attack your opponent directly. Once per turn: You can discard 1 "Toon" card, then activate 1 of these effects; ● Special Summon 1 Toon monster from your Deck, except "Toon Dark Magician", ignoring its Summoning conditions. ● Add 1 "Toon" Spell/Trap from your Deck to your hand.
If you need to search or special summon any monsters from your deck, use a Toon Dark Magician , which is usually the best way to get out if you have other Toon cards in hand to use the effect by the DM to put any Toon Monster on the field or any Toon Spell/Trap from the deck.
This will be the strongest, most flexible searcher of the set. This card is also the way we can progress to TOON BLS easily
Red-Eyes Toon Dragon and The Black Stone of Legend (x2)
Red-Eyes Toon Dragon
ATK:
2400
DEF:
2000
Cannot attack the turn it is Summoned. While you control "Toon World" and your opponent controls no Toon monsters, this card can attack your opponent directly. Once per turn: You can Special Summon 1 Toon monster from your hand, except "Red-Eyes Toon Dragon", ignoring its Summoning conditions.
The Black Stone of Legend
ATK:
0
DEF:
0
You can Tribute this card; Special Summon 1 Level 7 or lower "Red-Eyes" monster from your Deck, except "Red-Eyes B. Chick". If this card is in your Graveyard: You can target 1 Level 7 or lower "Red-Eyes" monster in your Graveyard, except "Red-Eyes B. Chick"; shuffle it into the Deck, and if you do, add this card to your hand. You can only use 1 "The Black Stone of Legend" effect per turn, and only once that turn.
In addition to Toon Dark Magician , this will also be a card that will help us more easily summon Toon BLS or Toon Dark Magician itself.
For Black Stone:
- The Black Stone of Legend is a great choice for getting a free Red-Eyes Toon Dragon from the deck, which can be used to send any Toon monster other than Red-Eyes Toon Dragon from your hand straight onto the field.
- NOTE - If you have other Toon cards in hand but still need Toon Kingdom , prioritize Toon Dark Magician as it has the ability to take any Toon Spell/Trap from the deck. Always grab a Toon Bookmark if you haven't played one in a turn because it's an extra life turn for Toon Kingdom and provides another search for anything you might need.
Spell/Trap
Sometimes during the match, you won't want to rely too much on Toon monsters because it's unlikely you can keep them on the field for long. For this reason, Toon's best supports will come from their Spells and Traps, making the deck more unified.
Toon Kingdom (x1)
Toon Kingdom
When this card is activated: Banish 3 cards from the top of your Deck, face-down. This card's name becomes "Toon World" while in the Field Zone. Your opponent cannot target Toon monsters you control with card effects. If a Toon monster(s) you control would be destroyed by battle or card effect, you can banish 1 card from the top of your Deck, face-down, for each of those monster(s) instead.
Toon Kingdom is the heart of this deck and your top priority to get with any of your searchers/effects in the deck. This card allows direct attacks and protection of your monster(s). Similar to Toon World with some added bonuses. Cost changed from paying "1000 Life Points" to banishing the top 3 cards of your deck face down when this card is activated.
- Toon monster(s) you control cannot be targeted by your opponent's card effects.
- If a Toon monster(s) you control is destroyed by battle or card effect, you can instead banish the top card of the deck for each of those monsters.
Toon Bookmark (x3)
Toon Bookmark
Add 1 "Toon World", or 1 card that specifically lists the card "Toon World" in its text, from your Deck to your hand, except "Toon Bookmark". If a "Toon World(s)" you control would be destroyed by card effect, you can banish this card from your GY instead. You can only activate 1 "Toon Bookmark" per turn.
Toon Bookmark is an amazing card, not only does it allow you to search for any card that mentions " Toon World " in its text from the deck but it also provides additional protection against destruction by banish it from the grave when your Toon Kingdom will be destroyed (Counter MST).
Typically you will use it before playing Toon Kingdom that way if it is destroyed you can defend it immediately while continuing to search for something else, remember this card can only be Activates once per turn, however grave effect can be applied to however many copies are present.
Comic Hand (x2)
Comic Hand is a card that can be used to make your opponent's blood boil, the feeling of satisfaction when opp's monster is *YOINK, turns into Toon so that it is protected by Toon Kingdom and can still attack directly from the monster. that animal is transformed into a toon (Top 10 Anime Betrayal).
Remember that Comic Hand can still target and will return monsters to your opponent if removed from the field. (Similar to Crackdown)
Toon Table of Contents (x1)
Toon Table of Contents is similar to Toon Bookmark , it can search any card in the Deck named "Toon", therefore it cannot search Comic Hand , however, it can be used to search Toon Bookmark and then use Toon Bookmarks to get what you want from the deck.
Toon Page-Flip (x1-3)
Toon Page-Flip is a really good Quick spell that every Archetype would want to have. You let your opponent randomly choose 3 monsters with different names that you choose from the deck and then special summon the selected monster to the field. This is a quick-play spell so you can use a spell not only on your turn but on your opponent's as well.
In this deck we will only play 3 Toon cards: "DM, Red-eyes and BLS" and every card is useful so any random card is good. But perhaps the card we least want to see is Toon BLS.
Toon Briefcase (x1)
This card cannot be searched with Bookmark but can be searched with Toon DM (searchable disruption sounds good). In addition, we do not need Toon World to activate this card, we simply need to control a Toon monster.
Ice Dragon's Prison, Crackdown and Warning Point (Staple)
It's this group again :v, leaving 2-3 slots for them is quite ok because they will never hurt you.
XYZ Toon
In the above version, the theory sounds good, but in real combat, it is very scary when facing Cosmic Cyclone (1 banish is a lie). So we have this version of XYZ Toon
However, XYZ Toon will also be quite bored when encountering Cosmic but will be better, increasing stability and safety. We will revolve around rank 4 XYZs, balanced in terms of strength regardless of whether we go to Turn 1 or 2.
It's a Toon World! (Skill)
Since version XYZ will definitely need monsters from Extra, using Toonvitation is impossible. So we can temporarily use this skill as well as provide a little support for Toon
Many times, this Toon World card on the field can also bait the enemy to use cosmic, from there we can freely use the Field Toon Kingdom card.
Toon Harpie Lady (x3)
Toon Harpie Lady
ATK:
1300
DEF:
1400
Cannot attack the turn it is Summoned. If you control "Toon World": You can Special Summon this card from your hand, then, if you control another Toon monster, you can destroy 1 Spell/Trap your opponent controls. You can only use this effect of "Toon Harpie Lady" once per turn. While you control "Toon World" and your opponent controls no Toon monsters, this card can attack directly.
Because this is a version that plays around XYZ 4 ranks, level 4 Underated toons will be used. The effects of the level 4 toon cards I will mention below are more useful than many other high level toon cards
First of all, Toon Harpie Lady , because there is a skill that guarantees us a Toon World card on the field, special summoning this card is almost free and can be used as a material for XYZ. Toon Harpie Lady 's side effect is also very good, just need 1 other Toon monster to be able to Destroy 1 enemy backrow.
Toon Mermaid (x3)
Toon Mermaid
ATK:
1400
DEF:
1500
Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must first be Special Summoned (from your hand), while you control "Toon World". Cannot attack the turn it is Special Summoned. You must pay 500 LP to declare an attack with this monster. If "Toon World" on the field is destroyed, destroy this card. Can attack your opponent directly, unless they control a Toon monster, in which case this card must target a Toon monster for its attacks.
Actually, this card is not as useful as Toon Harpie Lady, but it also has the effect of special summoning itself and is level 4. That is enough to make the perfect meat for XYZ rank 4.
Toon Gemini Elf (x2)
Toon Gemini Elf
ATK:
1900
DEF:
900
Cannot attack the turn it is Summoned. If "Toon World" on the field is destroyed, destroy this card. While you control "Toon World" and your opponent controls no Toon monsters, this card can attack your opponent directly. If this card inflicts battle damage to your opponent: Discard 1 random card from your opponent's hand.
This is also one of the level 4 Toons but does not have the ability to self-summon :v. But we will definitely have an extra turn to Normal Summon for this card because the other 2 cards are already Special Summoned :v In addition, there is support summon up to T oon Page-flip
The leaves match the OTK Version
Toon Kingdom
When this card is activated: Banish 3 cards from the top of your Deck, face-down. This card's name becomes "Toon World" while in the Field Zone. Your opponent cannot target Toon monsters you control with card effects. If a Toon monster(s) you control would be destroyed by battle or card effect, you can banish 1 card from the top of your Deck, face-down, for each of those monster(s) instead.
Toon Bookmark
Add 1 "Toon World", or 1 card that specifically lists the card "Toon World" in its text, from your Deck to your hand, except "Toon Bookmark". If a "Toon World(s)" you control would be destroyed by card effect, you can banish this card from your GY instead. You can only activate 1 "Toon Bookmark" per turn.
Toon Black Luster Soldier
ATK:
3000
DEF:
2500
Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must first be Special Summoned (from your hand) by Tributing Toon monsters from your hand or field, whose total Levels equal 8 or more. While you control "Toon World" and your opponent controls no Toon monsters, this card can attack directly. Once per turn, if you control "Toon World": You can target 1 card on the field; banish it, also this card cannot attack the turn this effect is activated.
These will be the cards used in both versions, however the number of copies of each card in the deck is slightly different.
- Toon Black Luster Soldier: x1
- Toon Page-Flip: x3
- Toon Table of Content: x1
- Comic Hand: x1
- Toon Briefcase: x1
- Toon Kingdom: x1
- Toon Bookmarks: x3
Number 106: Giant Hand, Abyss Dweller and Steelswarm Roach (Turn 1 rank 4 XYZ )
Number 106: Giant Hand
ATK:
2000
DEF:
2000
2 Level 4 monsters During either player's turn, when a monster effect is activated on your opponent's field (except during the Damage Step): You can detach 2 Xyz Materials from this card, then target 1 Effect Monster your opponent controls; while this card is face-up on the field, that Effect Monster's effects are negated, also it cannot change its battle position.
Abyss Dweller
ATK:
1700
DEF:
1400
2 Level 4 monsters While this card has a material attached that was originally WATER, all WATER monsters you control gain 500 ATK. Once per turn (Quick Effect): You can detach 1 material from this card; your opponent cannot activate any card effects in their GY this turn.
One of these three cards is very good to summon in turn 1. They have relatively annoying effects, but I still like summoning Number 106: Giant Hand the most because almost every deck doesn't use Monster Effects, right?
Number 39: Utopia (x1)
This is also a card that deserves a slot in the extra. Although it is not too strong to defend on turn 1 like the other 3 cards (because there are only 2 negate attacks), it is still worth summoning to be able to make play on the next turn.
Number S39: Utopia the Lightning (x1)
Number S39: Utopia the Lightning
ATK:
2500
DEF:
2000
3 Level 5 LIGHT monsters You can also Xyz Summon this card by using a Rank 4 "Utopia" monster you control as material. (Transfer its materials to this card.) Cannot be used as material for an Xyz Summon. If this card battles, your opponent cannot activate cards or effects until the end of the Damage Step. Once per Chain, during damage calculation, if this card battles an opponent's monster while this card has a "Utopia" Xyz Monster as material (Quick Effect): You can detach 2 materials from this card; this card's ATK becomes 5000 during that damage calculation only.
This is what I refer to as "make play" of Utopia. This card can XYZ over Utopia, can buff up to 5000 ATK when attacking monsters and also make the enemy unable to activate any effects when it attacks. That's enough to help us overcome the huge bosses of other decks in some poor situations.
Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon, Castel and the Skyblaster Musketeer (x1)
Castel, the Skyblaster Musketeer
ATK:
2000
DEF:
1500
2 Level 4 monsters You can detach 1 material from this card, then target 1 face-up monster on the field; change it to face-down Defense Position. You can detach 2 materials from this card, then target 1 other face-up card on the field; shuffle it into the Deck. You can only use 1 "Castel, the Skyblaster Musketeer" effect per turn, and only once that turn.
These are also two popular rank 4 XYZ cards:
- Dark Rebellion: Also a dame buff, helps us out the ATK stat with opp's monsters, finishing off opp
- Castel: Quite useful in controlling enemy monsters when there are 2 different effects to counter them.
Epilogue
Even though it's both versions, I don't think it will reach Meta :v just play for fun and experience. You also see that recently when going to rank, you also meet a lot of Toon OTK, right?
As for the XYZ part, they are not popular because the extra part is quite expensive, few people have enough to satisfy the UR extra. So instead of focusing on Toon, they just need to experience Toon OTK F2P
