So today (for us western people) Link Summon debuts in OCG land

[King]

Link Monsters as well Link Summon is a real thing now, but i don't expect them to be meta relevant now, maybe later with COTD Link Monsters will be more relevant, but for now i think Dino Dracos or Infernoids will get upper hand now

There's absolutely no way the three current link monsters are meta relevant. One requires normal monsters (rarely used}, and the second requires Cyverse monsters (which right now only exist in the starter deck, and so aren't very good). People might splash in one Decode Talker, but that takes 3 materials, and which current engines that might be a tough sell.

Now, once Code of the Duelist comes out in a couple of weeks, we can start getting actual link engines, so they might actually be good. But right now I think we only know like half the set there, so I'm holding off on judging it.
