Woah, Super Quants came to Duel Links! I know I haven't written an article here for ages, but I feel inspired all of a sudden. :-) For those of you who don't know what this deck does, it basically is an Xyz-Summoning deck that does so with its Field Spell via a discard cost. Let's break down the deck based on the card pool currently in Duel Links. The monsters (Main Deck) In Duel Links, we have the Red, Blue, and Green Layers, Alphan, and the Field Spell as the most relevant cards. (We also got Super Quantal Mech Sword - Magnaslayer, but it's not viable.)
The Field Spell, Super Quantal Mechs, and... Magnus While this deck could hard-summon its Xyz monsters occasionally, Super Quantal Mech Ship Magnacarrier enables instant Xyz Summons provided you found a discard outlet. The gist of this card is that it lets you discard a card, then transform your "Super Quantum" monster into... the "Super Quantal Mech Beast" Xyz monster of its color! Go go, Super Quantums! Nananana... These are the Beasts you can transform into in Duel Links (we don't have White Layer yet): All 3 monsters can gain their effects as Quick Effects, provided they have the matching color "Super Quantum" monster as Xyz material.
Keep in mind that when these Xyz monsters have no materials, they cannot attack, at which point you want to consider using their second effect, which attaches a "Super Quantum" monster from your hand or face-up field as material. (That means Alphan doesn't count!) And finally, the win condition of this deck is Super Quantal Mech King Great Magnus. How do you summon him? Typically with 1 free Monster Zone, you can send the Field Spell to the GY by its own effect to target 3 Mech Beast Xyz monsters on the field and/or GY with different names to then cheat him out. The more materials the Xyz monsters previously had, the more materials Magnus will achieve. (That's right, the native deck doesn't even summon him properly, hilarious.) But boy is he a house. Besides floating into 3 smaller Xyz monsters when he dies (which probably won't happen), he has some insane effects, depending on the number of materials he has.
Ordinarily, he can easily be made with 4-5 materials. Maybe not on turn 1 very frequently, but you can expect it on the player's second turn or beyond. Luckily, his Quick Effect is only in the Main Phase, so if you're keen to Toggle On, he may not be too painful to take out. Closing remarks Overall, I did a bit of testing in the modern game and well... this deck actually feels competent in Duel Links, let's just say that. It's one of those rewarding decks for the smarter players. Finally, we are starting to get decks that focus on the monsters being good instead of relying on backrow, and I'm happy to see that.
