Damn, you're doing better than me I only have 17 wins out of 32 duels.

I'm using my good ol' auto duel deck

I've got a similar Warrior deck, but it's based around BOXxer and Mystic Swordsman.

Yeah Warrior decks seems to be pretty reliable. I'm interested in a water beatdown deck, but didn't open any packs of the new box yet.
The Destiny Hero Structure Deck is up

No 500 gems? ;_;

It's also available as a level up reward for Kaiba.[/QUOT

Not really. Enemy Controller has been available in a lot of ways. From being available to exchange for SR tickets, Kaiba LV30+ Drops (although now you can get it from LV10 onwards, the drop ratio is better the higher the level) and as part as Mokuba's Bingo thing.

I've got a pretty solid D Hero deck going right now. I might be able to make Legend with it.

The new support is great. I'm interested the most in Celestial for my BLS Deck, and Vyon is great for regular E-Hero decks. And the Fusions! Trinity is amazing and the other Fusion is neat, especially since you can make it with any two Destiny Heroes.

No, I went through so many packs that I decided to reset the box.

Ouch. I'm sorry to say that what you did was the worst thing you could do. You see, Boxes in Duel Links are not completely random. Let's take Neo Impact and the Mirror Wall you want as an example. The complete box, that is the 200 packs of it contain exactly the same quantities of cards that show below (or besides, if you're playing on Steam) the box numbers and buttons to buy packs.
Each card shown below then has a pull chance of its quantity : number of packs left in the box. For example, the pull rate of Mirror Wall out of a "new" box is exactly 1:200, but if you have 10 packs left and you haven't gotten it, the pull chance is exactly 1:10, and so on. In other words, if you were to buy 200 packs of that box, you're guaranteed to get 1 or each UR in the box, 2 or each SR, 6 of every R and so many of each common.

I was worried you were going to say that.

I'm really happy to have built a really good Alien deck. Powerful Rebirth is such a useful card for this archetype since it synergizes so well with "A" Cell Recombination Device, and I've got two of them! Plus, I also have an Ananta, which helps against burn/stall decks.

Aliens are pretty cool since it's the kind of deck that you can use with any decent skill. Balance, Restart, Mind Scan, Beatdown, Last Gamble, Destiny Draw, Prescience, Shadow Game, Duel, Standby!, etc. These and a lot more all be used effectively, making this probably the most F2P friendly deck this game has to offer since you can move this deck between any characters you want to level up.

Yeah. Resetting the box should only be done when you've gotten the cards you want, you want more copies of it and you have all copies available in a box of it. For example, I want 2 Gishki Chain, I have to get packs until I get the first one and only then reset the box so a second one is available.

Well, I'm just going to focus on obtaining Wall of Disruption in the Servants of Kings box.

Powerful Rebirth also has a neat combo with Alien Hypno, since you can revive it and Normal Summon it again to gain its effect and take control of an opponent monster. And the best part is that when that monster runs out of A-Counter, it gets destroyed. And if we ever get Gol'Gar, Powerful Rebirth has great synergy with it too.

The Auto Duel AI is so unreliable. It had Planet Pathfinder in its hand to activate Archfiend Palabyrinth, but the dumb program set it as a normal monster.

The AI doesn't seem to plan ahead, but only see immediate gain. For example, in Gladiator Beasts, if you have Essedarii in your Extra Deck, the AI will fuse two Gladiators to make him, even if you could have, say, attacked and destroyed with Murmillo or gotten a bigger Gladiator, because it sees one 2500 ATK as a "gain" over two monsters with less ATK and effects.

I guess it was programmed for the early game, when there were no "complicated" combos or card effects.

It could've wiped the floor with that Heart of The Underdog deck with the empowered fiend monsters courtesy of Archfiend Palabyrinth.

I'm thinking the AI works something like "Opponent monster has higher ATK than Pathfinder, my priority is protect LP. My options are: Set Pathfinder to protect LP, Tribute Pathfinder to get a field spell (But doesn't check on the effect of the Spell Card, only the fact that will fetch a Spell), but I'd lose LP. Better to set Pathfinder".

Not counting Syrus and Jesse, I have 2600 gems left in my level up pool. Gonna have to start being frugal.

I mean, if you're really that miffed about it, just set up a suicide deck and go to casual matches lol. That's by far the fastest way to get skills now.

Every other deck I've seen on the ladder is Destiny Heroes. I guess people were really waiting for them to get good.
