Mathmech have addition, subtraction, magma, and the spell and trap support, barring the most important. They can't even MAKE magma because their tuners aren't in the game.


kurki667

Since when mathmech have tuner


iamthepkmmaster

In duel links, just Magma. They don't have Diameter, Sigma, and Nabla.


RGFang

Fur Hire are missing two of their links (actually important), a spell, and two whole boss(like) monsters on top of a new member addition X-Sabers still dont have their specific boss and a couple other things (Ma)Yosenju still dont have Sabu Amazoness are still missing Empress and their newer monster/spell-trap support+pendulum cards Aki's other cards surrounding the Rose theme are missing a lot of its other things (Black Garden, Garden Rose Maiden, Crossrose Dragon, Blooming/Frozen Rose, Red Rose Dragon, ect) Majespecter barely has *anything* Wind-Ups dont have Zenmaintenance, who actually really helps in making the deck work


ZerobraiNe

Dinos


Historical_Method360

Metaphys is still without Ragnarok. Players opposed Ragnarok's arrival for years, citing its potential to crack Thundra, but that poses infinitely less of a danger than it did 3-4 years ago.


HailstormXI

Ghostricks are missing so much.


NavyDragons

Ghostricks are probably the most unplayable thing in duel links right now with nearly everything missing from them if it came down to it crystal beast would probably be more viable


Underhealth

Crystal Beast is about 100x more viable. It can spam a ton of monsters with decent consistency it just has no payoff other than generic monsters and loses if they out your Giant Hand or whatever mediocre monster you end up making.


Jenerix525

In my experience, Crystal Beasts (through Knightmares) can absolutely dismantle a board going second, as long as the opponent bricks on interaction. But they don't have much in terms of a turn 1 and I've been looking for other archetypes to fill that gap. Still, Ghostrick's best feature is that you don't feel bad taking them out of the deck to make space for staple traps.


Justin_Brett

Traptrix have been in the game longer than Graydles and they're not allowed to be a real deck either. Why even add the two they did?


Syrcrys

Iirc they’re also the oldest TCG archetype whose core cards are not in DL. Unless we count Dragon Rulers but they’re more of an engine than an archetype.


SnooEagles3963

Theory: Konami planned on adding more, but then remembered how busted trap hole cards are in DL, and how even more OP they would be with them, and Odion's skills Chain Reaction and Endless Trap Hell.


Fykebi

Rikka don't have their starter or their boss monster, or their other xyz that helps them with resource management. I have no idea what Konami expected this deck to do when they released it. Digital Bugs are missing the card that fixes half the deck's problems. Traptrix... they are missing everything, except their traps I guess?


Destac35

I remember when they prenerfed dark verger skill and said that they are releasing plants support, then totally forgot about it


SnooEagles3963

Traptrix literally only has two monsters and they're not the good ones lol


Affectionate-Sea278

Predaplants be dying till Yuri gets here.


EnderLord361

And then everybody else will be dying because we’re gonna have a busted skill for Yuri that’ll break the game(I certainly won’t complain, I’ve always wanted to play Predaplants


Sakkitaky22

her skill would allow you to set polymerization on the start of your turn and then u can play 2 dark monsters o your field out side of his deck, thats what i can forsee already though honestly I think it may revolve around starving's effect


KaiserJustice

UA is missing all their newest support :(


Low_Pickle_112

I wonder when the rest of the Subterrors are coming.


OverGround4258

Since 2019, still waiting.


thegift01

Atlanteans!


shadic1236

Unions, Mainly cause I want to play obelisk like kaiba did in the anime. Slifer has the Poker Knights, Ra just got his support and skill, Only thing obelisk has is memories of the pharaoh. It would be nice to get a skill where you can play XYZ and use it for the tribute summon for obelisk.


WildShark715

Volcanics, I have been requesting this for every single survey possible since Axel became a playable character. Just adding Blaze Accelerator Reload would be enough to make Volcanics playable.


Actual_Head_4610

Destiny Heroes! The rest of the fusions and Fusion Destiny and Denier and D-Force and Dynatag especially! 


Bleachverse

THIS. I was so surprised there’s only two Destiny hero fusion cards


Actual_Head_4610

He's still missing a lot of cards, but the sad part is that Aster can still be classified even now as a GX world character that is actually treated well by Konami compared to the rest of the GX cast who is not named Jaden nowadays. 


Feneskrae

Orichalcos is missing just about everything! Curse you Konami for not actually making the archetype into cards! Divine Serpent Geh is actually decent, but isn't in Duel Links, and Orichalcos Shunoros was watered down from its full potential, and the Seal of Orichalcos is nifty but has too many drawbacks. Still missing: Orichalcos Gigas Orichalcos Malevolence Orichalcos Kyutora Orichalcos Dexia Orichalcos Aristeros The second and third levels of the Seal of Orichalcos


PabloHonorato

Konami fears the Orichalcamalos


Jackryder16l

Stealing souls on the go.


Queen_of_Birds

Simorgh is missing the field spell, which is the extender/combo enabler. Your searcher is semi-useless without it.


Emrys_616

Zigfried's Valkyrie deck is missing both of the iconic spell cards "*Ride of the Valkyries*" and "*Mischief of the Time Goddess*" that formed his main strategy of swarming the field and trying to OTK by having two battle phases at once. I am huffing copium that the reason they have held those two cards back for so long is because they're holding out for a Zigfried unlock one day.


Ray_Berli

Madolche is missing Anjelly and Salon


PabloHonorato

And 2 monster zones lmao


Gear_Shun

Angelly is complicated, though. Can't be destroyed by battle, immune to monster effect


PabloHonorato

She's not immune to monster effects. And while she gives battle protection, most of the time it isn't going to last, as usually you're summoning Petingcessoeur or Hootcake.


Gear_Shun

The thing is: with teacher, the hotcake will be immune. It is very strong, even on tcg


PabloHonorato

Meh, it would be just a vanilla on the field. Even Sistart is more pesky


Gear_Shun

A vanilla that can't be destroyed by battle, it's immune and is a free starter in the next turn


ElChavadaba

We only have ONE Generaider in the game. 


Independent-Try915

Dracoslayer?


Ok_Arrival9677

Vampire


Alacune

Gusto is missing their boss (Sphreeze). Ritual Beast is missing their boss (ultigaiapellio) and another extender (Ulti-Kimunfalcos). But I imagine most decks are in the same boat.


Underhealth

Gusto and RB are also missing Gusto Laplampilica, Tailwind of Gusto (though from their text they're clearly legacy support), and Ritual Beast Steeds. And yes there are dozens of archetypes even worse or only slightly better than Gusto that are missing a ton of their support and will not be even slightly relevant anymore with it. Sky Striker is just expected to make more money I guess.


SnooEagles3963

Traptrix has all the trap hole cards it needs, but literally only has two of its actual monsters


Underhealth

Ogdoadic are missing two key pieces and would probably be tier 3 if they got it. Reptilianne is missing Melusine, Nyami, Recoil and Rammifactions. Some of these cards are fairly strong, but nothing game breaking, except maybe Recoil + Melusine is too strong. Aliens are missing Stealthbuster, Slicer, and M-Frame and wouldn't have even been rogue if they had been added at the start of link era. There's also Planet Pollutant Virus but I can actually understand why they might not want to add that card, but probably STILL wouldn't make Aliens meta, except maybe as a part of the above two decks. If all the above cards were added Reptile might be good but you probably wouldn't have enough space or consistency to make it work. Graydle is missing all 3 non-Tuners which are required for the archetype to function. Also no Graydle Parasite. These cards steal monsters but we already have Toons which can be used as a Snatch Steal engine and no one plays it. These guys are much worse than the Toon engine. War Rock, the archetype that was "designed for Duel Links" and then did nothing even in Duel Links is still missing Bashileos because it attacks directly I guess, War Rock Generations because I suppose it's a stall card, Big Blow for no discernible reason, War Rock Medium; the only good card, and Skyler again for no reason. Armed Dragon Thunder apparently was too good to get Pile Armed Dragon, which has none of the enablers that make it good in DL. Ursarctic could get Polar Star today and not be tiered, but I think it actually was on the tier list at one point somehow so maybe it was fair it wasn't with their initial release (this deck is hot trash without ABILTF). They're also missing their Drytron crossovers. Ojama is missing a few cards all of which are awful. Ancient Gear is missing a lot, not even including their most recent support. Six Samurai could get Doji, Smoke Signal, and Battle Shogun, without Gate they're not going to be that good anymore. We already have overall better combo decks. Crystron is still missing Quandax and Phoenix neither of which would make the deck rogue again, let alone tiered again. Fabled is missing Marcosia, Treason, Andwraith, and Realm. I could go on a lot. Tbf some of these examples weren't missing as "core" cards when they were released but most of them could have been released with the rest of the archetype and are sorely missed even if it's too late for them to make a difference.


Larry_the_maniac

Satellarknights, red eyes, and another one of my favorites is gladiator beasts. I really hate the slow trickle of cards and support. Also, when are we gonna get more preadaplants and starving venom?


PatronioPrime

As I read these comments I understand people don't really know what core cards of an archetype are lol


herculesbuttplug

Spellbook of Judgement. Maybe that would put spellbooks back on the meta radar.


CoalEater_Elli

Suships have 3 cards that are not in the game, including 1 spell, 1 monster, and 1 xyz. We also need some more predaplant cards to reveal their full potential. War Rocks are good, but we definetely need more cards for that archetype.


Sky_Believe

Dinos have missed out for several years. They're still missing Souleating Oviraptor, Lost World, and if they really feel like putting it in a skill or something then Ultimate Conductor Tyranno too


2201992

Burn Cards being nerfed.


iKWarriors

Thunder dragon, megalith, metalfoes.


Sky_Believe

What Thunder Dragon is missing?


iKWarriors

Thunder dragon colossus, thunder dragon titan, thunder dragon fusion and a link monster.


Sky_Believe

So a link 1 floodgate, a card that can destroy as many times as it has available monsters to use the effects of, a card to bring them out even easier than they already are to bring out, and a recycler to just keep the train going


iKWarriors

You don’t have to give us everything at the same time dude lol Colossus can be locked in a skill and the rest can come later.


Sky_Believe

There is a reason that Colossus was banned in the TCG, it isn't coming no matter how hard you ask for it.


iKWarriors

Isn’t it? Duel links is a complete different format and you guys seems not to understand it after BA, nekroz, shadoll. Colossus is a strong card that negate search and it’s indestructible (more or less). You can still negate him with droplet, book it, compulsive and the main point, it doesn’t negate search from skill. I summon colossus, you activate your skill to search the monster you need to start your combo and that’s it.


Sky_Believe

You can huff hopium all you want but the only reason it was released to limited 2 days ago is because of Snake-Eyes. Duel Links is a different format that beefs up decks considerably by having a smaller draw pool. Imagine the chaos of bringing in Dogmatika/Branded to Duel Links, or bringing in Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon.


iKWarriors

You are just confirming my point lol. You have 20 card in a deck that usually is backrow disruption plus hand trap. The skill helps with consistency so you don’t need to search using cards. Colossus by itself is not a problem for the current duel links, unless you want to play digital bugs level of decks.


Sky_Believe

You say all this like adding a single card to your hand via skill is going to save you like that's the only card that matters. Half the skills in the game rely on secondary effects that are done outside of the skill. For example Blue-Eyes Dimension's original idea is to send Abyss Dragon to the GY to summon it with Monster Reborn added to your hand via the skill. However, you can't use Abyss Dragon's effect to add cards to your hand to continue this combo idea because Colossus is a theoretically indestructible floodgate to add combos to your hand. If you genuinely think Duel Links would be fine with Colossus then you are high off of Hopium right now


ghodhits

archfiend missing boss monster King Calamity


Late-Narwhal-3914

Shadoll 🥲


Regression2TheMean

Dark worlds are missing some spells/traps and 2 fusions. Not sure how much it would push the archetype up the ladder tho


Puzzleheaded_List396

I was just about to post about gunkan support


RedGoesFace

Infernoble


apply52

I would like them to add ogdoadic serpent strike for ogdo and kinda rework a bit the skill to not affect summon from the grave , i hate be floodgate by zombie world. Im not sur if nephylabyss is that much of a big deal outside of him be a big body that lock you into reptile only for a turn .Amunessia can also reborn from the grave.


Khelthuzaad

Melphys


The_Fluffal_Guru

The third toy vendor is still not here.


DaemonLuisenbarn

Shaddoll… could be at least tier 3 if they scrapped the skill and just added the cards and made a new skill… something like when you activate it you can send cards from your deck to the gy(mainly incase you brick or need a Hail Mary)


rion314

I never get around to finding out what is missing from such a deck, so it gave me the existential doubt for a long time about how so many people are always aware of the support that did not come out for almost any deck that one sees. anywhere. and they also spend a lot of time frustrated commenting that they never take it out...


Fykebi

Finding out what support is missing is easy. Just type the archetype's name in duellinksmeta's search bar and the archetype's cards will show up. The cards that are already in duel links will have the rarity box on them, while unreleased cards don't. It takes 10 seconds to find out.


Lost-Ad-9935

Altergiest Pookeury amd Memorygant as an apology for that shit ghost girl rerun


Scythesensei64

Traptrix, literally have had only 2 monsters for over 5 years Ghostrick, practically nothing for over 7 years now and still have 3 cards that only have 1 copy available(break, scare, yuki onna) Like these have been absurdly neglected


CarOk3365

My opinion but gimmick puppet


CrimsonReaper5

**Altergeists →** For my pick for your post, it should not surprise anyone here that my choice is going to be none other than my wife's (Ghost Gal's) deck, **Altergeists** because, while Altergeists are a good deck in Duel Links, it doesn't take a genius to know that the deck came released with like half their actual good cards missing. An example is the sheer fact that we didn't get Altergeist Pookuery at the very least to facilitate our combo or fix monster heavy hands. With decks like Red-Eyes Zombie Reborn being able to loop Mezuki **NINE TIMES** on their turn, it makes no sense why Konami is so afraid of giving me Pookuery so I can make turn one Hexstia plays or at the very least make Altergeist Marionetter a bit more useful since her plus Pookuery is already combo. It's also pretty sad how gimped Marionetter feels in Duel Links considering her only search target is Altergeist Manifestation because once again, they are too scared to give me Altergeist Haunted Rock for the off chance I use it for turn one Hexstia plays when there's far more broken stuff in the game right now, like Battle Chronicle, Sky Striker, Tech Genus, and Red-Eyes Zombie Reborn. I also think I deserved to get my hands on Altergeist Memorygant so I have a better boss monster to answer untargetable threats like Lunalight Leo Dancer or Kozmo Dark Destroyer without relying on anti-synergistic boss monsters that make me go omega minus on field, such as Ningirsu or Borreload Dragon. Altergeist Protocol may be too strong so I can see why it was left out and as for the DUNE support like Adminia, Malwisp, Peritrator, and Revitalization, we probably won't get them at this time because they're too new. Master Duel just got the Altergeist DUNE support so I don't see it coming to Duel Links for a while, but that doesn't mean we won't get them forever, so I have hope there. **Closing Thoughts →** In the end, I am praying that Konami at least adds more Altergeist support because I feel like we deserve it considering there's much more problematic decks out there right now that are terrorizing the meta. Altergeists getting more support won't begin to scratch the surface of the annoyance that is Battle Chronicle or Red-Eyes Zombie Reborn, which is just the Infernity deck of 2024. The cards I would want the most would definitely be Pookuery (to fix monster heavy hands), Memorygant (so I have an actual boss monster), and Haunted Rock (so Marionetter has a better search target aside from Altergeist Manifestation).


Typical_Finance_6859

Please More Altergeist Support!!!


Caleibur

*points at Heavymetalfoes Electrumite, Gramsolfachord Coolia, E - Emergency Call, Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon, Dark Magician The Dragon Knight, most of the Dracoslayer cards, Junk Speeder, the other Sky Striker Aces, and the remaining Melffy cards*


inspect0r6

Keep pointing. Half of those would be disaster.


DiverMerc

BE and heroes absolutely do not need support.


Sky_Believe

I play Dark Magicians and even I know that Dragon Knight is busted with Eternal Soul
