As a competitive player who's always shelved penguins as a fun, casual pet deck, I have quite a lot of thoughts on this card, at least in terms of a dedicated penguin strategy. The card is super promising in that it has incredibly solid combo potential, as you described in the video. Glacial Beast Polar Penguin, Nopenguin and The Great Emperor Penguin all, in theory, synergize really well with it and enable some cool combos, provided they resolve. Penguins were never really able to amass a lot of value, despite having an in-themed non-OPT Rescue Cat, but Penguin Heroes opens the door for a lot of future plays down the road. As a possible generic tool in Synchro decks, I think currently this is where the card could possibly see play depending on how the meta shifts. As for the penguin deck itself, it's still an incredible boost that makes old classics like Penguin Soldier and Nightmare Penguin valuable interactions, while allowing for experimentation with lesser played cards such as Puny Penguin for Link/Synchro climbing. That said, there are 3 glaring issues with penguins that continue to persist, despite how incredible Penguin Heroes is: 1) They struggle with consistency, as many of the penguin names that you'd normally want to summon off Heroes aren't actually combo pieces, meaning that they contribute to bad hands, and their setup tools are incredibly awkward (Emperor being Level 5) or vulnerable (choke points like Transmodify, Halqifibrax, etc. being susceptible to disruption). 2) The payoff is still a single disruption that is, unfortunately, conditional. It's a shame that Heroes isn't simply a manual trigger that you can activate during your opponent's turn. Understandably, making it a simple quick effect would break the card too much, but I think it would've been fine to allow it to be used at any point in your opponent's turn. This narrows the windows in which you can actually disrupt your opponent, and you can't be nearly as proactive with it as you would ideally want to. 3) In my opinion, the biggest issue is that the penguins lack meaningful recursion, which is weird to say in a deck that has Nopenguin, but once your resources get cleared, you have a hard time recovering. I think the most valuable support that penguins could have is one that assists with contingency plays so you can continue to control the board past turn 1. All this being said, I'm still incredibly excited over the prospect of future penguin support! Penguin Heroes is a fantastic start, and while it's not enough to singlehandedly push the archetype into the meta, if Konami continues down this route, I think the deck can actually become playable, which would be really neat to see as someone who's loved the penguin cards for quite a number of years now :)
IMO: Penguins could use a recursion card that also is a FLIP: Return 1 to hand. In order to synergize with both this combo and to return combo pieces from your GY.
I theorized a lot about the combination of ghostrick and penguins, as ghostricks slow the game down, so that you could set up your penguin board, ghostrick scare allows for your penguins to flip up during your opponent's turn and ghostrick doll flips your penguins back down and generates more advantage... the field spells, as well as ghostrick vanish can protect your face-down penguins and ghostrick monsters... all in all the synergy sounds nice, but the deck is much too slow for the today's meta game and because of the huge set-up needed it is pretty awkward... I am very glad for the new synchro support and am very excited to revisit penguins, one of my favourite archetypes
The art is so cute, but it also makes me think they won't print each penguin on it as it's own monster. Which is a shame cause I'd love to see Penguin wizard, paladin, ninja, samurai and knight (#2 ?) as their own cards.
Your wish has been granted, thankfully. It’s nice to see the individual cards lol. I’m interested to know what the Wizard and martial artist will do once those are revealed.
2020 is the year Penguins are getting support of all things......AND ARCANA FORCE!!!! Day 503 of waiting for Good Pyro/Volcanic Support to arrive in Blazing Vortex.
Community: Can we get support for Volcanics? Konami: Here's that *penguin* support you've been asking for! Also buy our *glacial beast polar penguin* from Battles of legend: Armageddon! Day 92 of waiting for Vendread support.
@@payne9682 ;c When i read the TCG article for Phantom Rage I was SURE we'd get Vendread support when I saw that there would be ritual support! Especially since F.A. got stuff. But then Nephthys yoinked it from me :c
Meanwhile Jim's Fossil cards and Don Thosuand's Numeron cards get released years later (also Robopi's Appliancers but those aren't nearly as old yet) with new singular Flower Cardian and Malefic cards for some reason.
I’ve Always loved how Konomi seems to never forget about old cards. They’ve always seemed to make a retrained version or add support for the most obscure cards. I’ve always wanted to build a penguin deck but like you said in the video it’s never been viable, however they might’ve flipped the script
For some reason penguins been getting a lot of support lately even got two monsters including a tuner in the collection pack and hopefully penguins the thunder dragon treatment soon.
Phantom Rage has been giving a ton of love to some older strategies. Now that they don't have an anime to tie in to, I have a feeling this is the start of a trend to support older strategies even more (so yes, Volcanics will get their time).
I thought of a gimmicky sort of way to work around the lack of Legendary Ocean: 1) Use Tremendous Fire dealing 1000 damage to your opponent and 500 damage to yourself. 2) The effect damage will proc Guard Penguin's effect to special summon itself from your hand. Also restoring the 500 lost LP in the process. 3) Tribute Guard Penguin for Great Emperor Penguin.
I guess a "good, consistent" way to be able to get Nopenguin out for banishing, without using your Normal summon. A 2 card combo: Play Unexpected Dai to summon any Level 4 Normal Water monster, then play Transmodify to Summon Emperor from Deck to use his effect to summon both Nopenguin and Glaciel Beast Polar Penguin. Sync 6 for Penguin Heroes then do what ever else that follows.
Hmm, Penguins really seem to have a lot in common with Batteryman. 1 Tribute Summon starter that Special Summons a monster from deck? I'm interested... Also, the whole concept of Eldlich Synchro with a Penguin engine is peak comedy
Great Emperor is easy to get out. You play unexpected dai to summon Bolt Penguin OR Flying Penguin then tribute summon Emperor and go from there. This deck’s ceiling, to me, feels like Trickstar or BA Stun as of right now
I'm legitimately excited for any further Penguin support, and I can't wait to drive my friends up the wall when I keep flipflopping their monsters into oblivion 🙃
Hey dzeef, if you want a spell, transmodify brings out the great emperor penguin from the deck. Also, rescue rabbit and unexpected Dai can help u get out flying penguin as fodder.
I hope Penguins get more support. Seeing how there are like 5 monster's in the Penguin Heroes splash art I hope that means we will be getting those monsters and each of those monsters are just together in Penguin Heroes. Since it's not unheard of for penguins in the wild to be together with one another. I also hope that means more spell and extra deck support. Traps I'm not so sure about since that may be too slow for the deck unless it's a quick effect and/or can be used from the hand then I can see that working out.
The best thing about Nopenguin is that its first effect is mandatory, so, if your face-down Nightmare Penguin or Penguin Soldier is attacked, when the flip effect activates, Nopenguin effect chains instantly, and that is a good way to defeat generic disruptive monsters like Cyber Dragon Infinity, Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon or Borreload Savage Dragon.
Right now halqi is somewhat broken similar to how mermaid ended on azathoth. Now off of 1 jet synchron you can draw 2 summon penguin heroes as a turner (metal marcher effect) and set penguin soldier during your opponent's turn the second they use any monster effect quick use heroes then you have another quick effect use formula synchron + penguin soldier into a lvl 4 synchro monster called "phonon pulse dragon" and now use the other jet synchron effect to use it penguin heroes and phonon pulse dragon to summon hot red dragon archfiend king calamity and stop their turn. Yes it can be handtrapped but it's a bit too generic and any deck that doesn't care about their extra deck who were playing extravangance might as well play triple tuning triple jet synchron and the brick for halqi.
@@Mernom Any deck that can sp a lvl 2 monster along with normal summoning jet synchron can do this. I already use the halqi combo as a draw engine and end on savage + hyper librarian drawing 2 in paelo frog similar to synchro eldlich and if i for example had swap frog in hand i do the archfiend combo.
I’ve been playing mermails for the past few years, and as I was thinking about what cards I could potentially use for it, I stumbled across my penguin soldier. I really wanted to use him but it’s such a slow card and can easily be destroyed without its effect resolving. Now with Penguin Heroes, I definitely plan to incorporate penguin soldier somehow. It’s an easy synchro with neptabyss and lapis dragon, or deep sea diva and a 4 star monster. I’m definitely excited
Forgot the character's name but didn't one of The Big Five from Duel Monsters love penguins to the point where he had an entire deck revolving around them?
Definitely hope penguins become legit meta as their own strategy, but I can see pendulums and other decks who want to use recurring soft or non once per turn/once per summon/etc effects to bounce cards back to their own hand after using an effect, NS/SM to the field again and use the same efffects a second time Loving how Konami is trying to make older cards meta or at least competitively viable again in a very different game now that it’s been almost 2 decades
This. *This*. This is the ONE things that could ever make me actually want to play again. I cannot tell you how much fun i had with my old nordic penguins deck, and how much i got pub stomped at my locals for it
When I was kid I had a deck that was just every penguin monster and support card I had at the time, I'd love to see penguins become a competitive strategy even rogue haha
I have an idea for a new penguin support card: HOPENGUIN Level: *** Type: Aqua Attribute: Water ATK/ 1200 DEF/ 100 Effect: When this card is summoned, add 1 "Penguin" monster from your deck to hand. You can only use this effect of "Hopenguin" once per turn. Once per turn, when your opponent activates a monster effect, you can change it to "Your opponent sends 1 monster from their deck to GY." Do you think it can help breaking the Penguin archtype?
So we are getting a Structure deck for Ice Barriers, one archetype that have many Aqua lvl 2 water monsters, maybe they made this card because it would see play on some future Ice Barrier build? (Um beign optimistic and thinking that the new Structure deck is making Barriers playable).
I actually testet the deck and it is so amazing. The deck can play a lot of handtraps, while also playing Toadally awesome and grind out the opponent. And no, dzeff is not right here. Emperor is strong, but it has shiranui syndrom, one ash does hurt a lot and from card advantage perspective, jet synchron is a stronger normal summon. I most often end on Simorgh/Barrier Statue lock, with 2 bounces and a Toadally Awesome. This is painful, because Toadally again works so endless smooth in this deck with all those low levels. Also the aqua monster reborn do wonders. It let you summon the glacial beast back to field and give you free tuner and a bounce. I really love this playstyle and how efficient the engine is
This isn't enough for penguins. We don't have enough good penguins to use. Also Rise of the duelist had 3 legacy support themes(gaia,darklord,fluffal) and 3 new archetypes(infernoble knight,dragma and merfae). Phantom rage revealed 3 new archetype waves so far(tribragade,datascape,souten) while only 2 legacy support waves got revealed so far(phantom knight and U.A). We might see more penguin stuff but they would have revealed more than just the synchro.
Am i really the only one who isnt glossing over the fact that the new syncro has 5 monsters in the artwork? I might not know the penguin archetype at all, but none of the 5 monsters in penguin heroes seem all that familiar, so there is definitely a possibility that all 5 will become main deck monsters, giving further support if not completely overhauling the archetype.

Love penguins, finally some support for my fave water deck.
I have an idea for a new penguin support card:
HOPENGUIN
Level: *** Type: Aqua Attribute: Water
ATK/ 1200 DEF/ 100
Effect: When this card is summoned, add 1 "Penguin" monster from your deck to hand. You can only use this effect of "Hopenguin" once per turn. Once per turn, when your opponent activates a monster effect, you can change it to "Your opponent sends 1 monster from their deck to GY."
Do you think it can help breaking the Penguin archtype?
Fluffal PENGUIN is a card, may be able to combine fluffals and penguins with that
According to the artwork, i think we will probably get more penguin monsters in the future :) Very good ^^
The old school strat of bouncing penguin soldier back to the hand to reuse it can't be done with nopenguin, since the banish isn't optional...
Dedede, that's the name you should know!
Dedede, he's the king of the show!
You'll holler and hoot, he'll give Kirby the boot!
Dedede is the one!
anything that adds to my penguin march deck is a good thing.
Can’t wait to use this to unite my deck with my graveyard to form a new deck.
That card art in "phantom rage" is hilarious to me
Bruh we can summon it in altergeist 🤣🤣 just play a pinguin soldier and bang we got 3 bounces with siloquist
An altergiest build that makes ue of its summoning mechanic, interesting
Penguins are potentially the new Frogs, no wonder dzeeff likes them. This archetype seems fun!
each of those penguin heroes need to be a monster, and running mask change 2 and 2 hero monsters in this deck absolute zero X acid for days
Phantom Rage may be the first set worth buying a box. I've never wanted to do that before.
So we are getting a Structure deck for Ice Barriers, one archetype that have many Aqua lvl 2 water monsters, maybe they made this card because it would see play on some future Ice Barrier build? (Um beign optimistic and thinking that the new Structure deck is making Barriers playable).
It be cool if they made a penquin structure deck with some decent support cards so the deck would be competitive like frogs are
Oh, penguins are better than I thought.
I hope they make cards for each penguin on that synchro card.
This is very strange of all the arch types in Yugioh I never imagined penguins would get support!!
I think i will play synchro fluffal after this card release
Wow I was just meming with the Penguin Soldier stream request you did for the GBA game. Didn't think I would also see more penguin support soon after.
I think the main opening combo is still any level 4 aqua and a transmodify to get to emperor
Thats neat But the real must buy card for me will be the new prank kids link 1. I love that deck and a link 1 will solve a lot of its short comings.
You know it's gonna be all about that penguin KNIGHT. form a new deck baby

Still run penguin soldier in my casual decks glad to see support
I love playing Froguins which of course is frogs and penguins
a person of culture I see
2 goofy water animal archetypes in one, I see
It should be a level 5 synchro. It shouldn't have to rely on your opponent to activate a "monster effect". It's pretty solid otherwise.
This is epic I’m a huge fan of penguins!
If you do use legendary ocean, then at least you could summon Toadally Awesome
Oh shit, it escaped containment again!
Penguin Toad Deck. Yep. Just said it.
What a world we live in where penguin soldier is the new gem knight garnet
I want it known that I’ve been rockin a Penguin deck for a couple years now
Omg last Time i played Ygo i did it cuz i liked the art (Watts) and penguins have always been one of my favorite animals and ygo cards
Wait, "Penguin" is an archetype? wot?
Crump cannot contain his excitement
A pair of 1-5 pendulum normal tuners level 3 monster would finish off the support
Call them bolt penguin # 2&3
Am i really the only one who isnt glossing over the fact that the new syncro has 5 monsters in the artwork? I might not know the penguin archetype at all, but none of the 5 monsters in penguin heroes seem all that familiar, so there is definitely a possibility that all 5 will become main deck monsters, giving further support if not completely overhauling the archetype.
Holy **** ridge wallet looks pretty good actually. ps nice vid.
don’t encourage him
can I use ridge wallet for my extra deck?
don’t encourage him
I don't play yugioh competitively, so sorry if this is a dumb question, but
What's the win condition of a penguin deck?
