As a DDD player, I have no idea of what the effect of electrumite and beyond are😂😂

You can't really use chaos angel in pendulum deck because half of your extra deck is links because pendulum doesn't work without them in modern ygo.

Tenpai was SO CLOSE to being an archetype that doesn't spam a 30 minute combo to build a full negate board... But then half of the deck are hand traps, so it's like having a full negate board from turn 1 and every tenpai card is a 1 card OTK combo. Neat.

sir, photon emperor is a pivitol part of their combo game and is literally required to run at least 1 or die to any intrupt on your normal

Bold of you to assume my cards are sleeved

3 words: Card. Trade. Option.

Winged beast are the type with the most wind monsters and syncho is the most associated with wind, but there a only 3 wind winged best synchos in the game

15:38 I tried playing TGs before the new support it was easier then you think back when Halq was legal since the Assault mode engine can be used to summon halq then use him to summon a TG tuner then link them both off into Trident Launcher and if you had a TG in hand you were golden.

you can say kralwer is jank we understand no need to worry

My favorite archetype to play, fluffals, could do well to get more pendulums added. One of their main mechanics, toy vendor, let's you draw the top card of your deck and if it's a fluffal you get to summon any one monster in your hand, discarding the card if its not. Point is, having more fluffals and edge imps that are pendulums with good effects would be so cool. Perhaps they could have effects that trigger on destruction. It would synergize with Frightfur Cruel Whale popping a card on both fields.

beast fiend and illusion is a strange tri-type that already works also i am deep into binging your videos

I would love to express some emotions during a duel. Like being able to give him a thumps up after a nice combo or a scared face when he is about to finish me.

Swordsouls is Goated Edit:Anyone hating Swordsouls are just Master Duel babies. The number of times I've heard people say Swordsouls are just thw worst after being called out for being Master Duel mains/no lifers so out of touch with the actual game it's their only frame of reference for the main game, they quickly admit is because it was everywhere in the game. (This was post banning of Protos btw)

Endymion is one of my favorite decks.

The problem I have with Konami is they need to stop making generic powerful monsters like it makes no sense that borrel savage and barone don't need a rockket tuner or a defleur tuner

I really hope if any of your yugioh vids blow up it’s this, this is such a good one

I don't think that Link Summoning itself is the problem. WAIT! Let me explain! Don't shoot me! As pointed out in the video, we were already witnessing one card combos BEFORE the introduction of this mechanic. Links didn't cause one card combos, the poor card design of decks like Zoodiac did (which also proves how bad you can twist a beloved mechanic like XYZ). There are more banned Link monsters than XYZ/Synchro monsters, but this is to be expected, due to Link being the more powerful and splashable mechanic. OF COURSE it was gonna have the best monsters. Also, some broken cards such as Summon Sorceress or Union Carrier abused broken mechanics, such as free Special Summons from the deck or floodgate locks, so aside from the ease of their summoning, their brokeness spyraled entirely from their effect, not from "being Links". If Union Carrier was a Fusion Monster / Synchro Monster, I can guarantee you we would still have seen Asilla Piscu FTK or Destruction Swordsman lock, just less splashable. Also, I don't get the argument of "position mattering = bad". Knowledge is still a form of skill, the fact that some zones are more susceptible than others to certain card effects is an interesting mechanic, because it tests the players' knowledge about the game. Arrows pointing to zones are not that relevant during a Link combo (unless you're U linking). In fact, recent Link monsters design often make LESS use of said arrows, in order to make the combo flow better and be easier to remember. So I don't see the argument that positioning cards in the field, and actually thinking about that positioning, is bad or time-wasting. Also also, while I get the argument that it can get tiring to see the same boss monsters over multiple decks, it also gives decks that lack a proper boss monster in the first place to at least make one. No wonder you don't like Sky Striker, which has always been Accesscode reliant, but without Accesscode there for closing games, some Sky Strikers games would have needlessy dragged on and on due to the nature of the deck itself, which is all about control and slowly chipping damage. There are a crapton of archetypes in this game, and if some of them are even remotely playable, it's thanks to the Links. Archetypal Link-1s are currently the most broken thing a deck can receive, but again, I fail to see how this is a Link monsters issue. Get rid of the mechanic, and Konami will start printing Zoodiac-like 1 material XYZ monsters, or more consinstent 1 card combos, nothing would change. At least with Link-1s we know that the mechanic exists to fill this purpouse. In general, I think that complaining about specific summon mechanics in Yu Gi Oh is kinda useless, because by going into every single case on why a certain mechanic became obnoxious, you'll always find out that there was a broken archetype or a stupid effect behind it. Summoning methods are not the problem, card design is.

I've had Gem-Knights as my favorite deck for years, and it just gets better as time goes on. It's always one of the first decks I build in any Yu-Gi-Oh game.
