It is really cool that chaos pile actually has an end goal with chaos angel massive respect. I don't like dragonlink myself personally but I respect people who play it because it is fairly difficult to pilot. Hope you have future tops/high placing with future decks.
It's very easy to play with a very linear pattern of jumping from [A] point to [B] (for example Stiker -> Romulus -> Seal). What makes this deck exceptionally difficult is to navigate properly through disruptions/play around stuff. There, the difference between players is highlighted to the extreme, just like in Swordsoul (that is typically an "easy" deck) where almost always there is a line for the OTK. TLDR; it has a low skill floor but an extremely high skill ceiling.
The strategy to play 44 cards (or a couple of cards above 40) to minimize drawing the garnets and the bricks and still maintaine high overall deck consistency is so good and underrated. In my opinion its a sign you understand probabilities and card ratios in a deeper level which means you are an amazing yugioh player. GJ Cali! ! Congrats on topping the Regional!
why cant i find your name on the final standings for the regs though. the top 8 from that regionals is: 1st brown tamir lawrence 2nd salazar marlon elgardo 3rd florida lance edward 4th ochs noah james 5th waterbury kyle alan 6th acepcion ed elton devera 7th pascua christian paul gregorio 8th flores saulo jared
Just picking up the tcg and picked dragon link as my first deck. Not picked up some of the more expensive cards yet but glad to see people playing and doing well with the deck.
I've found a lot of great lines by ditching the rokket package and seyfert entirely. Instead I've tried engines like e-tele>mental tuner, charge of the light brigade>raiden, Shinobi Necro NS>almiraj> Bystial banish for a synchro 8. I've also experimented with Ringo and while dragons don't really make tokens or normal monsters its still a great NS for synchro climbing and you can bring back ringo with dis pater/ Accel Synchro Dragon to climb more. I've found the most explosivity with the lightsworn mill engine because charge will always get you banish fodder and you can still Gamma a droll on resolution. Raiden+bystial also makes the best synchros in your ED. This is all assuming you would rather focus on synchro spamming which I think is the future of dragon "link". hitting people with Gravity collapse going first is almost always an auto-win. Dropping the rokkets allows you to play more non-engine or reduce the count to 40 so you see key starters like Lubellion more often. I think playing 40 in a Lubellion focused deck is one of the best things you can priotitize.
Thanks for all that info. I assume despite the wombo combo you still prioritize the "control/grind" aspect of the deck with Regained/Beast? I have also experimented with Mental Tuner/Necro etc but i believe you are over-reliant on drawing NS + Bystial while the typical "dragon link" can get things started by a simple normal summon. As a lightsworn enjoyer i'll definitely try it again. I wish Chaos Ruler was legal.
I really wish they would errata Chaos Ruler to have strict materials like the other Chaos synchros so they could bring it back. I still priotize the grind game by getting regained/beast and sometimes Etude as a floodgate/interruption. The deck always inherently has a good grind game so it leaves a lot of room to make heavy combos turm 1 without fearing a lack of followup post-cyac. Etude can be extremely powerful with seals to SS ringo then synchro with druiswurm (from magna EP search) into borreload savage for another unexpected omni on the opponent's turn plus the druiswurm send. You could also etude for accel synchro, get back the ringo and make a barrone or dis pater if you have room for stardust. I think the best way to play non-rokket tuner engines is to play a bit of everything like 1/2 raiden, 3 charge, 2 necro, 2 ringo or some package like that. If you ever open Lubellion or Chaos Space you pretty much always have a decent combo line. If you open Necro+chaos space you have a great line without using a NS. The same goes for milling Necro with charge or Raiden. The main reason I don't like the rokket engine is because it locks you into dark ED monsters so you can't make accel, baronne, spheres (late in the line) and I don't like sacrificing the potential explosivity of other engines for a consistent seals+/borreload pass. It just feels boring for me. Also, if you play Shinobi necro/ringo you can combo with level 4 chaos dragons into muddy mudragon > Albion > Dragoon and use albion on field to help make seals then get the EP eff of albion to get etude or beast. The deck can make several different omnis when built for heavy combos.
The fact that cali actually says “it’s our win” and seems to really connect with the fans is literally just one of the many reasons as to why he’s such a great RUclipsr
the only thing holding this deck back is the price of these cards. Lubellion is 68 a piece, Chao Angel is 45, Chaos emperor Dragon 50. I love the deck and am currently building it but it has a hefty price tag associated with it right now. I even went cheap and bought an OCG ultimate rare lubellion just to make it a bit cheaper (i mostly just play locals and with friends).
Yo Cali. I picked up the Clash of the new gods mat and it is just fire! All my friends who play the game want one and I directed them to your shop. Keep up the good work my guy and congrats on the top!
Congrats my guy !!! I look up to you and tj when it comes to dueling and being a positive face in yugioh. I can only hope I'm a quarter as good as you all!!!!
Would you guys say this is a good deck to build for the long run? Or does it only seem relevant to play at the moment and later on it may not be worth it? Im asking because I’m considering switching from branded despia to this and want to see if its worth it long term
Hey Cali! I faced this deck twice at my locals recently and I'm a little stumped on how to beat this deck outside of the obvious Droll. Could you please go over how to counter this deck or where the best places to handtrap would be? I play Live Twin Spright so running an absurd amount of handtraps is not a problem for me. Thanks big dawg
Droll surprisingly doesn't hurt this deck, this deck is pretty hard to hand trap, impermenance on Romulus however denies them access to rokket tracer, but you will always face off against an interruption against this deck, and Spheres is a tough card to deal with in Spright. Dark Ruler No More is an excellent option versus this deck
Have you tried playing this without the Rokket engine? I’ve been trying out this list with the tech slots adapted for the Maxx “C” meta and it works so well except I can see how you said the Rokket engine under performs
Quick question: could you replace the Rokket engine with a Dragunity engine? I've been looking to develop a Dragunity deck of some variant and this deck holds potential.
I think the issue is the mismatch is attributes. Considering it’s a chaos build, you do want your monsters to be light/dark and adding a wind engine wouldnt blend well
Just thinking of different engines that could be possible. With the new Supreme Gate support coming i can picture some wild Supreme Gate Chaos Dragon Z-arc deck.
Was actually telling a friend that I wanted to build a Dragon Link deck so my Bystial cards can see more play outside Branded right now since my Branded build is only running 2 of them. Might dabble into Dragon Link this summer.
I’m surprised you are one of the biggest yugituber and don’t collaborate with other yugitubers! I love you and your energy and presence and attitude! Keep up the great work!
Man ! I’m glad to see you posting a chaos link deck. I’m a branded player but trying to venture down the path of DLink/ Bystial chaos / Bystial control What’s your thoughts on ringoworm ?? Do you think it’s worth paying
Had this deck idea as well. The thing is that this deck actually is one of the few decks that don’t care to play into banishing effects. Dropping shifter? Great; now my Batteryman Solar is a 1 card combo that gets me Chaos Angel as well. Bystials? I chain my Bystials to yours and make my GY stuffed being banished and triggering effects once again. The problems are that if your haven’t any banishing access, the combos feel very slow compared to when you can banish your stuff. Also the Chaos engine feels mandatory if you wanna combo off. And since the light an dark babies are limited, some kashtira banishing that hits your one off makes it hard to play. A very good rogue strat that - sadly - has a few very expensive cards. I personally would play a small thunder engine with solarman and shifter. It’s pretty nice to get that off and have a strat backed up by the banishing « mechanic ».
Don’t mean to diss you Cali but you Normal Summoned twice on the same turn. Cool profile btw, been meaning to take a similar build myself to locals. Congrats on the WCQ top ❤
AMAZING VIDEO! But Cali, The Lubellion mat is outta stock! I NEED IT RESTOCK IT SOON PLEASE! Love you, proud of you and as always have an amazing rest of your day
I love borrelend and the rokket package the borrelend give a free body every turn while being a tower the only problem that kaijus are used a lot in the meta
lightpulsar good or bad ????????? would be great in here i think to be able to spam from grave and what the hell no redmd plz explain not being mean just curious why no big boy all the respect in the world my guy just some ideas i wanna bring back the og chaos dragon combos pulsar+redmd i mean dis pater can loop redmd and pulsar...... pulsar can revive most of the bystial boys on destruction
purrely just makes towers, you can make more towers, borrelend is a semi tower and also chaos angel is a semi tower, they can't out those cards with engine, they would have to draw an out.
Yo Cali could you start giving out player attendance info and what spot you actually placed. It's cool that you topped and all but super vague when you just say I topped and not give out what you played against, how many players attended etc. For all I know it was a 10 man event like your locals vid. But congrats.
I love Dragon Link Bystial so much Cali that I don't care what the meta will be X amount of years this deck will always be my most favorite and best deck in all of yugioh history. I want so many things but one thing that I know you don't know is that Noctovision dragon is literally the D/D Griffin of the deck. Read the eff of both those cards and tell me they do act the same way with one to two differences.
I’m so ready to win a event any event lmfao even locals closest I’ve got recently is second I’m playing basically this list minus Angel and the pendulum bc I can’t find lol
Hey Cali I'm experimenting with 50 cards in my dragon deck. I added 3 parlor 2 chamber 3 tidying a lorpar and a hospitality into the engine. 2 situational bricks 5 one card starters that play around droll and 3 interruptions that extend. I'm running 1 Lube cause I'm broke and 1 Saronir but I'm thinking of cutting 1 parlor and adding a saronir or 2.
Dope! Don't be afraid to walk up to me and introduce yourself! I have no idea what the other guy is talking about, because I took pictures, talked to people, and even signed stuff all day!
Congratulations on the top I am currently working on returning to competitive play in my area now that I have more time and I am going to be starting my own team called team Yohei which is japanese for mercenary
I don't like 44 I don't like 3 The Bystial Lubellion 2 is ok dark ruler is ok unless your opponent plays spell canceller and most super heavy samurai do or if you play against drago slayer and they keep the field spell and a spelcaster. droll can hurt you too I also don't like chaos dragon levianeer because getting 3 in grave to banish isn't easy and I stopped using Nocto dragon a long time ago because I always forget to special summon it for the most part it's been fine without it. I try and keep my deck 42, 43 I did have it at 44 and it was bad I got my butt kicked so never again will I play a 44 deck
It is really cool that chaos pile actually has an end goal with chaos angel massive respect. I don't like dragonlink myself personally but I respect people who play it because it is fairly difficult to pilot. Hope you have future tops/high placing with future decks.

Batteryman Solar could be an option with ringowurm too because he summons a token.

Does someone know where that Playmat frame is from? Would love to buy one
Congrats! Ive been watching your videos for a hot mintue and i was super excited to see that you topped in the regionals. Congrats again!
How do you feel about apple dragon in dragon link?
Congrats my guy !!! I look up to you and tj when it comes to dueling and being a positive face in yugioh. I can only hope I'm a quarter as good as you all!!!!
What frames do you use for your mats on the wall? I got a few mats I’m trying to do the same with

funnily enough going above a little over 50 is actually good with all the banishing and milling decks now and its still consistent crazy ^^
Have you tried playing this without the Rokket engine? I’ve been trying out this list with the tech slots adapted for the Maxx “C” meta and it works so well except I can see how you said the Rokket engine under performs
how do you feel about the albaz package in the deck with mirrorjade and rindbrumm turning spheres into 4 interuptions if it all goes through?
explain the combo?
Please! Where do you get the frame? What’s the dimensions boss?
Bro. You literally said it after I posted. Thank you!
Thanks for the love & shout-out!! 🙏🏾❤️
Congrats my dude! love to see you grow! i cant wait to get my start! Keep grinding my brother!
is the playmat coming back in stock? its already sold out.
I completely agree with this being more of a chaos dragon deck instead of just dragon link
Quick question: could you replace the Rokket engine with a Dragunity engine? I've been looking to develop a Dragunity deck of some variant and this deck holds potential.
I think the issue is the mismatch is attributes. Considering it’s a chaos build, you do want your monsters to be light/dark and adding a wind engine wouldnt blend well
How would you adjust this deck now that Gamma is limited?
Bros always topping
Man’s is a good player irl
After years of being a bottom
Just thinking of different engines that could be possible.
With the new Supreme Gate support coming i can picture some wild Supreme Gate Chaos Dragon Z-arc deck.
Glad you saw the light regarding Dlink, Cali, congrats on the top!
I only got 63rd at my second ever regional, but I'm glad I stuck it through, and that placed as high as I did 😅
how many people in total?
@@Aka_Ytoe started at over 200 but then there were only about 100 left towards the end.
As long as your not from 63rd I guess it’s alright😂 I’m joking the highest I got was like 67 at my first regionals
There also wasn’t many ppl I was basically last lmfao
I half expected you to say I'm doing this with tedious difficulty. Lol

Just collabed with Distant Coder & Jesae Kotton wym?
with which effect do you destroy Chaos Emperor? can't follow this step
Is this the bystial control deck?
Congrats on the top brother. Good job doing the dragons proud.
Man ! I’m glad to see you posting a chaos link deck. I’m a branded player but trying to venture down the path of DLink/ Bystial chaos / Bystial control
What’s your thoughts on ringoworm ?? Do you think it’s worth paying
Where did you get the frame from
Edit: nvm should have waited 5 more seconds

The ancestors have spoken…SPICE!! 😂
Excited to see what changes you'll make to the deck without the psy-frame package
Thanks for using dragon link. It's my favourite deck.
We love to see it, wish you more success big dog 🙌🏽
Openned this thinking maybe this is a new deck to try out saw the three Bystal Lubelion my wallet said no 😂
Crazy how you didn't top said regionals wild even
Cali I love your speeches. You’re a true motivational speaker
Plz have a link for those frames?????!!!!!!!!
And thats the reason, why d-link is not a rouge-deck. gg bro
Don’t mean to diss you Cali but you Normal Summoned twice on the same turn. Cool profile btw, been meaning to take a similar build myself to locals. Congrats on the WCQ top ❤

How does this deck beat purrely going second 🤔
Side deck. Better off covering Kash and SHS in the main since they are far more represented
purrely just makes towers, you can make more towers, borrelend is a semi tower and also chaos angel is a semi tower, they can't out those cards with engine, they would have to draw an out.
what sleeves are those?
Congrats bro I’m super proud
Yo, big dawg, can you try to make a mannadium deck profile plz??
TheCalieffect, I have a few really old decks but no one to play them against.
why no rokket synchron?
Wait what was the record and place?
Congrats, Cali!!
Let's point out the Chester's Hot Fries bag in the back.
Nice deck Cali keep up the good work bro
The Vegas regional was so small went to Vegas for edc and only say 52 tables setup ):
Went for Edison and they took forever
Man’s taking all the invites 😤 can’t be beat by the competition if there is none to begin with 😂
How much does this deck cost
Grats on the top :)
You should post a DB video of you playing some competitive matches using this deck for those trying to learn it
The tried to stop the dragons from doing chaos stuff and from link summoning. But they still going strong
Similar to a list I was testing I don’t own the pendulum so I swapped it for Apple dragon
and Pulsar Dragon ?
Yo Cali could you start giving out player attendance info and what spot you actually placed. It's cool that you topped and all but super vague when you just say I topped and not give out what you played against, how many players attended etc. For all I know it was a 10 man event like your locals vid.
But congrats.
@@TheBigDeckClub that's cool I guess still match ups are important too. Like he could have played against a lot of rogue match ups.
that math ain't mathing right. You can't place 12th and walk out with a mat that only goes to top 8... 🤔
Hey, boss! I actually decided not to reveal that information for privacy, but you can consider it a 10 man even if you like! :)
I just love borrelend to much to not do the basic borrelend and savage end board
I love Dragon Link Bystial so much Cali that I don't care what the meta will be X amount of years this deck will always be my most favorite and best deck in all of yugioh history. I want so many things but one thing that I know you don't know is that Noctovision dragon is literally the D/D Griffin of the deck. Read the eff of both those cards and tell me they do act the same way with one to two differences.
Well deserved man 🎉
I want a link for that frames pls
I think I can cook up a deck that cut out the rokket with mental tuner. Mental tuner is nutty
This deck is awesome, I love playing it
This why d link is the best deck but anyway only 1 thing I see as a problem in ur decklist is not having an out to purrely like goddess
Yeah this deck needs a redo please great cali
The Best deck since it came out in Gen 6, Lets Go.
You cant search santa claws with chaos space unfortunately. It can be normal summoned
Thought you did it with thunder… the disappointment 😅
Yoooo congrats!
super nice vid. maybe a 1v1 against tdtj?
Talk yo sh!t Cali 😂👏🏾
Hey Cali, can you make a dracoslayer deck next
I’m so ready to win a event any event lmfao even locals closest I’ve got recently is second I’m playing basically this list minus Angel and the pendulum bc I can’t find lol
"people haven't been playing chaos emperor and idk why" -card has one printing and has historically been very expensive and hard to obtain-
Oof
Hey Cali I'm experimenting with 50 cards in my dragon deck. I added 3 parlor 2 chamber 3 tidying a lorpar and a hospitality into the engine. 2 situational bricks 5 one card starters that play around droll and 3 interruptions that extend. I'm running 1 Lube cause I'm broke and 1 Saronir but I'm thinking of cutting 1 parlor and adding a saronir or 2.
This is literally what I’ve been telling people dlink is a midrange deck now.
11:38 why did bro say it like that? 😭
Love your stuff keep it up. Maybe one day I can meet you in real life.
@@TheBigDeckClub Dame well that sucks he is one of my favorite. I meet crush card's and they was amazing people. Just chill people like me.

Congratulations on the top I am currently working on returning to competitive play in my area now that I have more time and I am going to be starting my own team called team Yohei which is japanese for mercenary
Chaos Dragons best deck.
Dragon control. I lost to this in April.
about the zelda music
tierlist tuesday
I don't like 44 I don't like 3 The Bystial Lubellion 2 is ok dark ruler is ok unless your opponent plays spell canceller and most super heavy samurai do or if you play against drago slayer and they keep the field spell and a spelcaster. droll can hurt you too I also don't like chaos dragon levianeer because getting 3 in grave to banish isn't easy and I stopped using Nocto dragon a long time ago because I always forget to special summon it for the most part it's been fine without it. I try and keep my deck 42, 43 I did have it at 44 and it was bad I got my butt kicked so never again will I play a 44 deck
I love that deck so much....
