Part 1: Strategy and deck building




Into the VRAINS! – Overview of the deck

Code Talker: Not only did they introduce us to the VRAINS era and its Link mechanics with Decode Talker , they also ended it with one of the strongest Link monsters currently in the game - Accesscode Talker . As the main anime protagonist archetype of this era, there are over 3 years of support behind this deck, but what exactly does it do? Let's join YGO Vietnam to learn about the activities and construction of this deck!

Code Talkers are the definition of Link summoning: rapid Link escalation, and Co-Link is the core strategy of this archetype. By pointing at other monsters, you will gain attack and defense power to overpower your opponents or put a hard-to-pass wall in their way. They are supported with their own set of Main Deck monsters, all of which have the unique effect of being able to use them from your hand as Link materials for Link Summoning Code Talker monsters. Additionally, they have a ton of Spells & Traps, such as allowing you to Normal Summon every turn, negate all of your opponent's cards, or even to search for monsters from your deck multiple times in one turn. The goal here is the epitome of Link Summoning : Extra Link.

Yes, sure, but wait, Extra Link? Is there any use? It only stops decks that focus on Link monsters, and all other Summoning methods don't necessarily require the Extra Monster Zone.

Yes, that's true, BUT: Code Talker still has a way to use this strategy effectively for almost any deck, let's go through the deck building section to understand more about the components that make up the strategy. This strategy!

You can only use this effect of "Excode Talker" once per turn. Monsters this card points to gain 500 ATK, also they cannot be destroyed by card effects.


Second WIND and Link-3 properties. All monsters it points to receive a 500 ATK boost as well as a kill protection effect. When Link Summoned, it can also block the Main Monster Zone . Remember that it will also protect your opponent's monsters if it points at them.

2+ Effect Monsters Your opponent cannot activate cards or effects in response to this card's effect activations. If this card is Link Summoned: You can target 1 Link Monster that was used as material for its Link Summon; this card gains ATK equal to that monster's Link Rating x 1000. You can banish 1 Link Monster from your field or GY; destroy 1 card your opponent controls, also for the rest of this turn, you cannot banish monsters with that same Attribute to activate this effect of "Accesscode Talker".




Tag(s):

If you're familiar with the game, you'll know this card is pure power. Like DARK Link-4, it not only has the highest Link ratin among all the Code Talkers and the best Attributes, it also has the strongest destructive ability. It is a Victory Condition in many other decks and in this deck it is at its best.

1 Level 2 or lower Cyberse monster You can Tribute 1 other Cyberse monster, then target 1 "Code Talker" monster in your GY with a different original name from that monster; Special Summon it to your zone this card points to. You can only use this effect of "Talkback Lancer" once per turn.


Link-1 is rated quite low. As the name suggests, it does not belong to the Archetype, but it has the useful effect of being able to revive any “Code Talker” monster from your GY without losing its effects. Pair it with Transcode Talker and you'll quickly get the chain revived for a super ping comeback.

If a Cyberse monster you control would be used as Link Material for a "Code Talker" monster, this card in your hand can also be used as material. If this card is sent from the hand or field to the GY as material for the Link Summon of a "Code Talker" monster: You can either add 1 "Cynet" Spell/Trap from your Deck to your hand, or, if this card on the field was used as material, you can add 1 Level 4 Cyberse monster instead. You can only use each effect of "Micro Coder" once per turn.


The smallest monster with the biggest job: As a DARK monster, the Micro Coder has the effect of using itself as a Link Material to Summon a “Code Talker” monster from your hand. Depending on where it is used as a Material, it will search your Deck for Cyberse or Spell/Trap “Cynet” monsters, one of which is the heart of this deck, the Cynet Codec .

If a Cyberse monster you control would be used as Link Material for a "Code Talker" monster, this card in your hand can also be used as material. If this card is sent from the hand or field to the GY as material for the Link Summon of a "Code Talker" monster: You can send 1 Cyberse monster with 1200 or less ATK from your Deck to the GY, or, if this card on the field was used as material, you can add that card to your hand instead. You can only use each effect of "Code Generator" once per turn.


The EARTH attribute has the same effect as Micro Coder , but in this case it sends a Cyberse monster from your Deck to the GY or adds it to your hand. Very important for Combos.

If a Cyberse monster you control would be used as Link Material for a "Code Talker" monster, this card in your hand can also be used as material. If this card is sent from the hand or field to the GY as material for the Link Summon of a "Code Talker" monster: You can target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; change its ATK 0, also negate its effects. If this card on the field was used as material, you can target 2 monsters, instead. You can only use each effect of "Code Radiator" once per turn.

If a Cyberse monster you control would be used as Link Material for a "Code Talker" monster, this card in your hand can also be used as material. If this card is sent from the hand or field to the GY as material for the Link Summon of a "Code Talker" monster: You can target 1 Level 4 or lower Cyberse monster in your GY; add it to your hand, or, if this card on the field was used as material, you can Special Summon it instead, but negate its effects. You can only use each effect of "Code Exporter" once per turn.


Both of these monsters can be used depending on the situation in the game that you encounter the most, but Exporter is the most used for common combos of the deck.
  • Exporter has the WIND attribute and is also a monster that can be used as a Link Material from your hand. Monsters can be added back to the hand from the GY or Special Summoned them, but the effects are negated.
  • Radiator has the WATER attribute, the effect of making a Link material from your hand is not mentioned, but you can use it to quickly OTK a monster with too high ATK on the field. However, this is not worth using because when you summon Accesscode, the opponent's field will be cleared very quickly, so it depends on your preference and you should use it!

Cynet Codec (3x)

SR Rarity

    If a "Code Talker" monster(s) is Special Summoned from the Extra Deck to your field (except during the Damage Step): You can target 1 of those monsters; add 1 Cyberse monster with the same Attribute from your Deck to your hand, also you cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck for the rest of this turn, except Cyberse monsters (even if this card leaves the field). You cannot add other monsters with that same Attribute to your hand by the effect of "Cynet Codec" this turn, and you can only activate the effect of "Cynet Codec" once per Chain.


    The Heart of the Deck. As you may have noticed, Attributes have been named for all monsters so far and there is a reason for this: As a Continuous Spell, Cynet Codec adds a Cyberse monster from your Deck to your hand with the same Attributes as a "Code Talker Monster” when Link Summoned successfully. And that's not all; Cynet Codec is not a typical "once per turn" effect like cards Instead, it can search each Attribute once, meaning in the best case, 6 monsters can be added in one turn.

    Cynet Optimization (1x)

    R Rarity
    Cynet Optimization
    R Rarity

    Cynet Optimization

      If your "Code Talker" monster battles, your opponent cannot activate cards or effects until the end of the Damage Step. During your Main Phase, you can: Immediately after this effect resolves, Normal Summon 1 Cyberse monster, also you cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck for the rest of this turn, except Cyberse monsters (even if this card leaves the field). You can only use this effect of "Cynet Optimization" once per turn.


      Underdog of the backrow in the deck. Cynet Optimization is a Continuous Spell with the effect of Normal Summoning an additional Cyberse monster per turn. This helps a lot in building your on-field presence, but that's not all: It has a second effect. If a “Code Talker” monster fights, your opponent cannot activate cards or effects until the end of the Damage Step, this prevents float effects and other forms of “Battle Trap” and ensures ensure Battle Phase is safe.

      Cynet Conflict (1x)

      R Rarity
      Cynet Conflict
      R Rarity

        When a Spell/Trap Card, or monster effect, is activated while you control a "Code Talker" monster: Negate the activation, and if you do, banish that card, and if you do, your opponent cannot activate cards, or effects of cards, with the same original name as that card that was banished, until the end of the next turn. You can only activate 1 "Cynet Conflict" per turn.


        Probably one of the best Counter Trap archetypes in the game. As long as you control a “Code Talker” monster, Cynet Conflict can negate any card or activate its effect, and banish the negated card. At the same time, it also prevents the opponent from activating cards with the same name as the banished card until the end of the next turn.

You can only activate 1 "Decode Destruction" per turn.

After that damage calculation, have this card or 1 monster it points to gain ATK equal to the ATK of that battled opponent's monster, until the end of this turn.

When this card leaves the field, destroy the equipped monster. Once per turn, during your End Phase: Remove 1 counter from this card. If you cannot, destroy it. You can only activate "Limit Code" once per Duel.


              All of these cards have the same problem: Despite their good attributes, they are all inferior to Accesscode Talker and do not help our strategy at all. Spells / Traps are not searchable, slow and do not help the strategy.

              2+ Cyberse monsters with different Attributes Gains 500 ATK for each monster it points to. (Quick Effect): You can pay 1000 LP; draw 1 card, then if your LP are 2000 or less, you can banish this card from the field, and if you do, Special Summon 1 Link-3 or lower Cyberse monster from your Extra Deck, except "Decode Talker Heatsoul". You can only use this effect of "Decode Talker Heatsoul" once per turn.


              A card is waiting. Decode Talker Heatsoul gives Code Talker and many other Cyberse Decks a completely unique color and strategy. In the Extra Link strategy, this card is a good support as a FIRE Attribute with “Salamangreat” and “Mathmech” monsters, and provides additional resources with its card draw effect.



              Cyberse Supports

              As a Cyberse Deck, Code Talker is deeply connected and interacts closely with the Cyberses. In general, Code Talker is an archetype that only has the limitation of not allowing you to Summon any other monsters except Cyberse monsters. Many of the good monsters in the game are Cyberse monsters even though they have nothing to do with the actual "Cyberse Deck" as an idea. Below is a list of the most notable Cyberse non-Code Talker supports.

              2+ monsters Once while face-up on the field (Quick Effect): You can target monsters on the field and/or GY up to the number of monsters co-linked to this card; return them to the hand. If a monster this card points to is destroyed by battle or sent to the GY: You can Special Summon 1 Cyberse monster from your hand. You can only use each effect of "Firewall Dragon" once per turn.


              With its Erratum in Ghosts From the Past, Firewall Dragon became unusable for many Decks that used to (over)use it. But not Code Talker! Firewall Dragon is a solid integral in attack as well as defense, and helps build a strong on-field presence.

              2+ monsters Special Summoned from the Extra Deck While this Link Summoned card is on the field, your opponent cannot target this card with card effects, also their monsters cannot target monsters for attacks, except this one. Once per battle, during damage calculation, if this card battles a Special Summoned monster (Quick Effect): You can make this card gain ATK equal to that opponent's monster's ATK during that damage calculation only. If this Link Summoned card you control is sent to your GY by an opponent's card: You can shuffle 1 card on the field into the Deck.


              The Giant Wall can be its own Victory Condition for certain decks. The opponent often has difficulty removing it from the field, and especially in Extra Link, it is nearly invulnerable, forcing your opponent to only attack it.

              Link-2 is not only super easy to Summon Link, but also Special Summon a Cyberse monster from your GY by negating its effects and since most important monster effects trigger there so you don't really care.

If a monster(s) is Special Summoned to a zone(s) this card points to while you control this monster (except during the Damage Step): You can banish 1 Cyberse monster from your GY; add 1 Cyberse Tuner from your Deck to your hand. You can only use this effect of "Cyberse Wicckid" once per turn.


              Not necessarily a good staple, but it's pretty useful any time. Provides good protection and helps build your field presence safely when going second.

              2+ Cyberse monsters At the start of your Battle Phase: You can activate this effect; this Battle Phase, this card can make attacks on your opponent's monsters, up to the number of monsters this card currently points to +1, but this turn, when it attacks your opponent's only monster, this card loses 400 ATK during that damage calculation only. At the end of each Battle Phase: You can draw cards equal to the number of monsters this card destroyed by battle this turn.


              Tri-Gate Wizard , Secure Gardna , and Shootingcode Talker are often played together as a negative engine (with WATER targets for Shootingcode Talker).

              Some people think that these cards are staples (i.e. just support, not in any format), but in my opinion, they have a more specific format. Using this engine means you will have a rather more impressive field if you go first but remove the options to continue Duel when going second and inevitably slow turns in addition to the link effects regarding Battle Phase. Tri-Gate Wizard helps in formats where many decks don't care about Special Summon limits, like decks that focus on Tribute Summoning or backrows. For example here, the Tri-Gate Wizard can neutralize the floodgate that can occur on Turn 3.

              Not exactly the first choice to search with Cynet Codec , nor the second choice, but a good Normal Summon if you have to. Due to their simple Special Summon effects but their effects from the GY, these monsters are often sent there via Code Generator or as costs to other cards. Salamangreat Foxy can also help escape Floodgate.

                  1 Level 4 or lower Cyberse monster If this card is Link Summoned: You can add 1 "Salamangreat Sanctuary" from your Deck to your hand. If a "Salamangreat" card(s) you control would be destroyed by battle or card effect, you can banish this card from your GY instead. You can only use each effect of "Salamangreat Balelynx" once per turn.


                  Salamangreat Sanctuary is an integral part of the Extra Link and can be searched through Balelynx. Salamangreat Sanctuary has the effect of reducing your own Link monster's ATK to 0 when 2 monsters fight . Why this is important will be explained later.

                  Knightmare Corruptor Iblee - the most important part of the Extra Link. Can be summoned very easily using Code Generator and Splash Mage , or using Cynet Codec and Firewall Dragon / Cynet Optimization . When Iblee leaves the field, she Self-Summons to her opponent's side of the field, forcing her owner to no longer Special Summon monsters, except Link monsters. Because Extra Link prevents the opponent from Summoning Link, Iblee forces a complete field lock, preventing any Special Summoning. The opponent will try to free themselves from this by spearing the Iblee into one of your Link monsters. This takes away the Main Phase 1 and Battle Phase of their turn, as well as some LP, but this is something you're willing to do for the freedom to play over and over again. This is where Salamangreat Sanctuary appears. As mentioned, Sanctuary sets the ATK of Link monsters you control to 0 during battle. This effect will be used on Iblee's attack target, so both will then have 0 ATK. This is important because 2 monsters with 0 ATK cannot destroy each other in combat. The Iblee will not be destroyed and the lock will remain in place.
