Starter Deck: Link Strike New Card Ratings and Spoiler
*For info on how these ratings are determined, click here. | |
YS17-EN043 | |
Link Spider EARTH / Cyberse-Type Link / ATK 1000 / Link-1 Active Link Arrow(s): Bottom 1 Normal Monster Once per turn: You can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Normal Monster from your hand to your zone this card points to. SUPER RARE |
|
Rating: | 2 |
Comments: | The easiest to Link Summon and weakest of the Link Monsters in this Starter Deck but thanks to the ability to use Link numbers to subtract them from required monsters for other Link Monsters helps a bit, though its ATK and the rule that forces Link Monsters to be in Attack Mode at all times won't do it any good. |
YS17-EN042 | |
Honeybot LIGHT / Cyberse-Type Link / ATK 1900 / Link-2 Active Link Arrow(s): Left and Right Neither player can target monsters this card points to with card effects, and those monsters cannot be destroyed by battle. SUPER RARE |
|
Rating: | 2 |
Comments: | It's weaker than Decode Talker and has Type specific Link Materials but at least the ATK isn't so weak that this guy becomes unplayable. It's also viable with Honest too. |
YS17-EN041 | |
Decode Talker DARK / Cyberse-Type Link / ATK 2300 / Link-3 Active Link Arrow(s): Top, Bottom-Left and Bottom-Right 2+ Effect Monsters Gains 500 ATK for each monster it points to. When your opponent activates a card or effect that targets a card(s) you control (Quick Effect): You can Tribute 1 monster this card points to; negate the activation, and if you do, destroy that card. ULTRA RARE |
|
Rating: | 2 |
Comments: | It's more difficult to bring out but is the strongest of the three Link Monsters in this Starter Deck, though I wouldn't count on getting much out of the effects. |

Rating: | 2 |

Comments: | Bitron is an obvious candidate to work with this as it meets the criteria and has higher DEF than most monsters with its Level. However, this guy can't do much if it's not Normal Summoned. |

Rating: | 2 |
Comments: | Konami has taken an additional unnecessary step to further signify that this is a Normal Monster with the word Normal as a sub-type but there's not much use for this card aprt from its 2000 DEF and use with Link Summoning. |
