1.Interesting thing to note, Vampire Takeover shows the Vampire Sorcerer converting a modern landscape into that of the Vampire Kingdom (hence it summoning the card directly from the deck) Implying that the Vampire Sorcerer and all the members of the new wave of support , lead by their version of Dracula the Vampire Vojvode, are survivors of the genocide and are executing their revenge by taking back what humanity stole. Becoming everything they were feared for in the first place. So , in a way, Camula got her wish, she just didn't live long enough to see it. 2. Overall, Vampires might just be one of my favorite archetypes in the game. Not just because of the Castlevania inspired designs and lore, but also because its just so rare for an archetype to COMPLETELY change course and be rebranded the way this one has. Going from an inneficient and slow "bleeding" effect that helps your opponent more then anything else nowadays, to one focused on losing and gaining LP , reviving themselves and each other ,as well as potentially devastating Monster snatching. You gotta give Konami credit, they did a good job reviving a decade old archetype.
Camula's backstory is filled with tragedy and becoming exactly what humans fear and destroyed in the first place. Ironically, Jaden being *The Supreme King* of the Gentle Darkness finished her off to maintain the balance between darkness and light in the world of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. 😅🤙🏻
I think a more huge miss was not reversing the targets of its two effects, meaning only DARK "Vampire" should have gained the atk boost in its first effect (which would make more sense as it is their kingdom) and allowing you to send any Zombie to the gy with its second effect.
It is literally called "Vanpaia Enpaia" (Vampire Empire) in Japanese. The translation team just... didn't want to go along with the pun? For some reason??
It is worth clarifying that Vampire Lord came out long before the structure deck. It was a highly sought after monster during the DM era, because control decks loved to use his effect to deny one's opponent access to their spell cards. Most of which were likely limited.
That's not entirely correct because sending spell cards in the graveyard meant that the opponent can use "Magician of Faith" to recover them and sending Monsters would just fuel their chaos engine. Most often then not you would call traps or monsters (since you could use "Book of Life" to revive Zombie types).
@@RetrospectiveChannel Yes and no. That can be a legitimate concern, sure, but Magician of Faith was actually quite slow and not used as often as a result at the height of Chaos. You tended to see three D.D.s and Airknight, plus maybe one or two others odds and ends at the time. White Magical Hat was quite popular, as were Asura Priest and Shining Angel. Not to say Magician of Faith was entirely absent from the meta, but she certainly was not as prominent as she was before and... maybe after. At the time, she was less of a threat, especially with hand control being a factor on top of the sheer speed of the game at the time. Magical Scientist OTK was a thing as well... and more powerful. And Chaos Control tended to end the game in four turns at most. Hell, my friend ran the deck, but specifically avoided using her because she was too slow. So, yeah, this depends on when we're talking. I admit that saying "DM Era" was too broad on my part. I am also not as familiar with what was run after the banhammer fell, because my friends stopped playing rather quickly in its wake and I was more or less forced to stop playing, myself, as a result.
@@DrunkManSquakin666 I was thinking more in G.o.a.t and Reaper formats , funny thing is that Zombie decks use to run "Despair from the Dark" to combat Duo (since they can also summon it via "Call of the Mummy") as for Mof well Nobleman of crossout was a very popular counter to FLIP monsters (and in Reaper we had "Shield Crush").
You forgot the Baby and barely acknowledged Lady, Lord and Genesis. Plus your usual curse of this video having a high probability of being outdated in a set or so.
If you dive deeper into vampire lore you'll find out that there are living vampires and non-living vampires so they can be zombie vampires that can be ghost vampires because the souls of the living vampires become ghosts and then there are those who are Undead vampires vampires that have gone through the stages of death but have been slightly resurrected through a different ceremony but you seem to have skipped any actual lore when it comes to that I'm sorry
2 things you missed. 1 vampire lord was released long before the structure deck. 2. Dhampire is the name for a half human vampire. Interesting since it drives home the idea that the monster is ment to be made of one of your monsters (a vampire) and an opponents (a human)
@@yourfavoritejojo5235 Vampire is actually deceptively strong since their new support. Of course, I'm not gonna be unrealistic and say they're viable in the modern meta, but if they get maybe another wave of decent support, they could be an alright rogue deck. Vampire Ghost is actually an insane value Normal Summon, it's a straight +1 that sets up further plays. The archetype has acces to *three* Normal Summons per turn: 1. Regular NS 2. Vampire Domain's extra NS for Vampires 3. Ghost's GY quick effect to NS a Vampire. As well as Sorcerer's GY effect that lets you NS a Vampire without tributes. Voivode is also a Called By on legs (though he doesn't banish the card) that can recover itself. They have access to most of the generic Synchro options (Baronne, PEP, Chaos Ruler, etc.) as well as the rather new trap "Ghost Meets Girl: A Masterful Mayakashi Shiranui Saga" via the Mayakashi Link-3. This trap disables Special Summons from the hand, deck and extra deck for the rest of the turn for both players.
If I had to guess why there is such a thing as a vampire zombie. If you go by Konami’s Castlevania Dracula keeps coming back a lot and will occasionally transform into something bigger even though his initial body was killed off.
So the actual reason for why a vampire's reflection is not actually that they don't have a reflection, but because the mirrors used to have silver backing to give it reflection, since silver was considered a holy metal things of unholy nature like vampires could therefore not to be seen in the mirror
There is another Xyz card that although isn't necessarily part of the archetype has way too much in common with Sheridan to ignore. Number 24:Dragulas the Vampiric Dragon could easily be the transformed state of Sheridan much like how Vampire Lord transforms into Genesis and how Vampires tend to have shapeshifting capabilities into demon and or dragon-like beings. Not only does it appear in front of a blood moon like other cards of the archetype, but it shares the blonde hair and the same color scheme as well as the glowing red eye. It also shares a similar revival effect as Vampire Bram. The fact that it isn't a zombie monster is the main issue. You also missed Vampire Baby, which shares the same monster stealing ability as the rest of the cards in the archetype.
I kinda wish Vampires had a fusion monster based more closely on Camula. Ps: Vampire Domination is what an in archetype counter trap should be, omni-negate plus bonus effects for playing the deck the way it should, take note Dream Mirrors and Time Thief.
Same thing with the Beetrooper counter trap, it's not an omni negate, just monster effects. Yet, it lets you reset the card every turn for playing more Beetroopers.
I'd love a Fusion that uses a Vampire+1 or more Zombie monsters (so its a banger target for Super Poly with Zombie World up) but could also be summoned by tributing a Vampire+a stolen opponent's monster from the field and gains some bonus if it used a stolen monster as material
@@jericmagnaye2705 For real, they're a zombie deck, so Uni-Zombie is already pretty much mandatory as inclusion and they sync into 7-11 really easily. Chaos Ruler was also insane for Vampires (before it got banned lol)
I know this archetype might be a very big undertaking but I really wanna see all of Yuya's archetypes(Odd-Eyes, Magicians and Performapals). They can be individual archetype videos but I feel like maybe a full video for every archetype that a protagonist used would be pretty cool. It sounds like a lot of work though...
i know i have been waiting for a pendulum Magician and performapal architype video forever and honestly i can see those working together for a single video because of the dimensional dragons architype video though a remaster on that to cover the new dimensional dragon forms would be great
Honestly it's not that bad using Grace's effect. You want to go first, and when it comes to Fascinator or Sucker, you want a monster in the opponents grave. It also gives you information on what your opponent is playing, which is never a bad thing; and even if they don't have cards that work in the graveyard, they typically dump a handtrap...which is a win in my books. Though I also like to play a small Zombie world package in my vampire deck. So I get scourge and grace to become beatrice, send a necroworld banshee and doomking, and by the standby of my opponents first turn doomking is on the field, so even if the monster I put in their GY is something they can use, I have a negate for it on the field already. Even better if I can get voivode on the field as well and save doomking's effect for their normal or special summoned monsters.
@@number-qx1kw usually I want to get handtrapped with ash/urara or veiler so I can use it i as tribute for vampire shadow or voivode in my opponent turn. The real problem is that if you drawn too many level 5 in your hand without any way to discard them and having grace which have no value in hand and field is worth it.
Vampire fascinator effect literally prevent the old generation effects to pop off, you can't ssummon from your opponent gy because you only able to summon zombie, very clever way to show that she is actually a good vampire that kills other vampire and protecting the outside world. Her
@@r3zaful Don't think so. Fascinator summons from GY regardless of type and *then* locks you into Zombies after doing so. But that wouldn't even matter, because they're assuming you're playing with Zombie World on the field. Cause... why wouldn't you? It's just a straight up bonus to Vampires since it doesn't affect them and fucks up a lot of type-reliant decks. Zombie World is also the reason why Vampire Voivode is lvl 8 and The Zombie Vampire is a rank 8. Because Doomking Balerdroch is already lvl8, so you can go into The Zombie Vampire with Voivode + Balerdroch if you couldn't steal two opponent's monsters.
I think that vampire ghost is kinda of a "reference" to how the term "vampire" was a regional term for any undead creature on some parts of europe in the past, other regions of the world had their own words to describe creatures from beyond the grave: draugr in the northern europe, strigoi/shtriga on western europe, ghoul in the mediterranean, nzumbi on certain parts of africa (this specifically is the root of the word "zombie").
You know what's weird? When you look at their designs, some of the monsters are wearing crosses, even though in most vampire stories they are weak to crosses.
Yeah, two things come to my mind regarding that: 1) itis some Rosario + Vampire-like thing to intentionally (temporarily) seal their powers. Maybe they even did it to themself so they could lay dormant until their time has come 2) They somehow overcame this weakness and are now wearing them as some sort of batch and/or massive middle finger towards their enemies
@@TheChiog Or maybe they go by Vampire the Masquerade rules: crosses and garlic don't actually do anything to vampires (unless you pick those flaws during character creation).
I remember in a story that when lesser vampire asked Dracula who his sire (basically who was the vampire that turned him ) was he said that he has none and that he was Cursed by God himself so yeah maybe that's why the cross comes up .
I think it might be because the shape itself has nothing to do with it, but holy magic. Crosses are supposed to be sacred, but a fabric cross made by vampires would do nothing to them. Maybe, just spit balling since it's obvious it's just a cool design thing.
My first guess as to why this archetype has mash ups would be a reference to how vampirism can be spread to anything. While there can be obvious sinister undertones to that, this sort of hybridization has always been interesting to me since it can sort if show how even incredibly different things can have something in common.
Because it does felt like that They are splitted into 3 different faction with each have their own method, remember ghostrick mansion dweller and ghostrick museum dweller have contrast different styles of locking, with nekomusume as the main play. Vampire lord Vampire Alucard Vampire draculean/voivode
Always wanted a werewolf archetype. Vampires always get the most love out of the old monsters and it feels overdone. Gotta give more love to other monsters.
Very nice video but I think it was a little bit short on the background of vampire dhampir Sheridan! A dhampir is the child of a vampire and a human. A half vampire so to speak. And Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu was the author of Carmilla one of the most famous Vampire Stories in history and the inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula!
Strange no "Red Moon Baby" as it was the first vampire card but wasn't switch in the TCG to "Vampire Baby" for a very long time or surprised on honourable mentions like "Blood Sucker"Blue,Red & Yellow Oni" which are meant to be vampire in bat form or the silly "Vampiric Koala" it's just so cute 🥺
One thing i'm surprised you didn't bring up is how Vampire Grace is pretty clearly inspired by if not outright based on the legends of Elizabeth Bathory.
Yep can't be Halloween with vampires and the vampire archtype has always been an interesting one, including with the fact that it felt like to me a Castlevania archtype in deck form. All we need now is a Zone of the Enders archtype along with the Gradius archtype and we are good to go! Very nice job on the video TGS as always!
I thought "Number 24: Dragulas, the Vampiric Dragon" was also considered to be part of the vampire archetype. It even have the blood moon in the artwork.
Vampire was my main deck way back when, I had no idea it had received so much support recently. Back in the day it played around using graveyard mechanics to avoid paying tributes for high star monsters, a super fun gimick to be sure, but man it was slow. xD
I love this archetype, especially the modern cards; the gimmick of paying and gaining LP as well as taking control of your opponent’s destroyed monsters fits with the vampire theme a lot better than the older ones.
It feels very incomplete. All of the old and middle introduced cards are ignored, (very little level 6, etc solid support) and there is no other focus on the Belmont card, if he's just a 1600 anti-DARK battler and nothing more, he'd have no chance against them, no items or whip or abilities or anything. There's very little castle references despite Konami owning Castlevania and where is Alucard? How about a retrain if Genesis?
Shame that this and the great animated series is the most we’ve got from the Castlevania franchise for years. Once again, thank you for covering the lore and cards surrounding this archetype, as well as, the trivia TFS Anime. It makes your videos entertaining to watch. Btw, for the pro players out there, how good is the archetype in the meta?
I now want to hear more about vampire fascinator seeing as how she might be an enemy to the other vampires. I'm also curious if those link monsters will lead Konomi to make a sub archetype of vampires based off the twilight series?
Vampire fascinator is based on Lenore from Castlevania the anime, who was a diplomatic vampire that thought humans should be treated... well... humanely. She still viewed them like livestock but actually cared about them.
@@blackbird7781 this is doesn't seem is the case here, her effect literally prevent other vampire to summon anything from your opponent grave after you summoned her, the previous generation of vampire gimmick is special summon from your opponent grave, you can't special summon anything from your opponent gy because you are locked into zombies, unless you are playing against another undead army, which she is more than willing to help. She's an " vampire-hunting Vampire" concepts seems very clear now.
The story might be like this 1. She meet a defeated human then taking him to her castle. 2. She is taking interest with her/him but doesn't harm her/him in any way. remember she doesn't turn the special summoned monster into a zombie. 3. Now she's working with that human to prevent other vampire turning people into zombies. 4. She start killing her own kin "tribute vampire" so she can get more non vampire allies.
Alredy commented, but its worth noting that, out of all the Vampires, Vampire Sucker looks the least human. Its possible that, in the same vain as Legacy of Kain's Vampires, these Vampires at some point gained the ablity to evolve and trade certain features and abilities for various new ones. Vampire Sucker is batlike and has pinkish-red skin, making her obviously inhuman, but she is among the few that can survive in broad daylight Whereas Vampire Fascinator literally turned into a predator of her own kind
Alucard from Castlevania can do much the same. The transformations are references to the original Dracula novel where he has control over such creatures and if I remember right turn into them.
While not stated in this video, Vampire Lord, the archetype's original Dracula stand-in seems to reference the Dark Lord's various One-Winged Angel forms by his transformation into Vampire Genesis. Vampire Genesis also apparently references how vampires in certain stories can, either through age or casting away their remaining humanity, enter stronger forms. Funny enough, Vampire Lord and Vampire Hunter can start a nigh-infinite loop with each other, as Hunter's destruction effect can trigger Lord's effect resurrection from destruction by card effect. Also funny enough, the Belmonts were evidently intended to be descendents of Dracula. Which makes Vampire Hunter's Dark Attribute even more hilarious in hindsight (especially given how Sonia was retconned out of the Castlevania timeline).

"Zombie" is one of my favourite monster types. I also like the Vampire" archetype but I play a somewhat generic zombie deck instead. However, Vampire Sucker is one of my favourite cards in my zombie deck. Usually I use Doomking Balerdroch as link material since it is summoned back to my field during the next standby phase (if there is a field spell on the field, usually that would be my Zombie World) and this special summon triggers the effect of Vampire Sucker which lets me draw a card. Furthermore that effect of vampire sucker also triggers the effect of Doomking Balerdroch, which allows me to banish one monster on the field or GY (or to negate the previous effect). Vampire Sucker was also my "win condition" (more or less) against a Final Countdown / Crooked Cook deck in Master Duel. I was able to set up my board but couldn't really do anything because of the cook. Then my opponent made one mistake: He send a monster to the graveyard because of the hand size limit. I used Vampire suckers effect together with Zombie World on the field in order to summon that monster onto my opponents field. Since there was another card on the field, Crooked Cook was no longer unaffected by other cards' effects. My opponent tried to use crooked cooks effect to get rid of that monster but I used Balerdroch to negate that effect. Then I used Vampire Suckers other effect together with the effect of my Red - Eyes Zombie Dragon. This allowed me to use my opponents Crooked Cook as tribute fodder for my Red - Eyes Zombie Dragon. I was able to win the duel a few turns later (think it was turn 18/20 after Final Countdown was activated or something like that). That victory made me really happy. Crooked Cook already was a well - known nuisance back then, so winning against that deck with my somewhat casual one was awesome! However, without Vampire Sucker (as well as Zombie World, Red Eyes Zombie Dragon and a mistake made by my opponent), I wouldn't have been able to do that. :-)
The combination of Zombie World & Vampire Sucker's lingering effect to basically turn any high level Zombie in your hand into a Kaiju has saved me _so_ many times - it literally outs anything that isn't unaffected altogether, and because it doesn't activate your opponent can't respond to it unless they proactively negate it with something before/at the start of your MP1 like Effect Veiler & Infinite Impermanence. To out any Towers monsters you should consider running Underworld Goddess if you have the Extra Deck space, especially given how easily Vampires can spam the board without xeno-locking you into Zombies.
Where did you find the concept art for the card vampire fascinator to know vampire frauleins cracks are from the bite? Would love to see some of the other concept art from yu gi oh past
A Fang-tastic video. One thing you forgot to mention with Fraulien is at least design wise, based off of the character Moka Akashia/Shizen from the anime/manga series Rosario+Vampire with the pink/silver hair
For the "send x card to graveyard" effect, an addition could be "cards sent by this effect cannot activate their effects or leave the graveyard except by the effects of a vampire card until the end of the turn". Might need different wording, but might make the effects better
Vampire Fascinator luring other Vampires is, in all likelihood, a reference to Mina Harker from the Dracula novel. She was bitten by Dracula, but not fully turned, so she is able to sense where he is, and he can sense her location as well. Unlike other spawn, however, she is not forced to obey his commands, and thus she is able to lure Dracula into a trap
Both sucker and fascinator have built in anti undead effect attached. If anything they are basically the daywalker vampire as well like blade franchise.
I do miss when Vampires were focused on milling, but more cards started coming out that had beneficial GY effects so I get why they stopped. Maybe one day they could get a Nopenguin type monster where cards milled by Vampires get banished or negated as well.
Can we just talk about how the Castlevania references are mentioned... But not Vampire Bram being named after Bram stoker, the literal inventor of the Dracula Story and Character?
oh man I really love the art in those. Dunno how good a vampire deck is in the grand scheme of things since it has been a while but I kinda wanna play one now
I love the vampire monsters and I always felt they were based loosely off castlevainia which is why I add certain cards to my deck to reflect this such as pilgrim reaper to represent the grim reaper
While originally the Vampire Archetype's theme would be to deplete your opponent's resources by milling cards from their deck, the modern Vampires are centered around swarming the field and stealing your opponent's monsters from the field or graveyard for the purpose of summoning their Vampire XYZ monsters. Common themes within the archetypes include the need to tribute summon in order to use their strongest effects, as well as paying Life Points or sending a Vampire Card from the field or hand to search cards from the deck. To work around their short-comings, many cards offer effects that allow you to more easily tribute summon or even outright normal summon the higher-level Vampire Monsters. Additionally, a lot of Spell/ Trap cards allow you to replenish Life Points. While the Vampire Link Monsters are centered around interacting with your opponent's graveyard, the Vampire XYZ monsters have a common gimmick of allowing you to use monsters you stole from your opponent to summon them regardless of their level.
I love the Vampire deck. My prime vampire deck is called Chibi Vampire as a tribute to the manga of the same name. Its anime adaptation is called Karin. A very funny romcom about an unvampire girl trying to get through school while she tries to keep her vampire heritage a secrete. I recommend it.
The Vampire archetype remains my 3rd favorite Spooky season deck followed by Ghostricks in 2nd and Vendreads in first. The only problem I face in making the deck is that Yugioh cards are hard to come by where I live.
Vampire Lord was released long before that Structure Deck, and Vampire Lady was released after Vampire Lord but before Vampire Genesis. I know because I already owned both Vampire Lord and Vampire Lady before my brother bought the Structure Deck, which was around the time of its release.
Pretty much the first archetype I started building when I started playing again. And I’ve been loving this deck ever since. Always looking to find ways to improve it.
Vampire Kingdom makes any card that sends a monster / trap / or spell to the grave good allowing the user to destroy things on the field. It also allows the user to send monsters from their deck to the grave yard getting more of the vampire's grave yard effects.
@@TGSAnime I thought the original name was vampire baby so it was meant to be part of the archetype and that's why they changed it. It got released as "red-moon" first then they updated it in 2013 to "vampire" right?
@@TGSAnime A. It was never called "Red Moon Baby" in the ocg, you can even look at pre PSCT versions of it to confirm this B. Even if I'm wrong and it was at one point called Red Moon Baby, it's been erratad since, and is now officially a Vampire. You can even check in Master Duel, searching the card off of Familiar and Awakening is legal. It may be a worthless, long powercrept part of the archetype, but it is still part of the archetype
One thing I don’t understand about Crimson Knight Vampire Bram, the artwork depicts him in armour and having a shield, plus he’s a vampire knight. So, why does he not have any defense points? Maybe he wants to forgo defense?
I keep coming back to this video because I love the vampire's. And Castlevania. But when I seen Camula and her deck both anime and in game, I been searching for and trying to make the deck lol.
Fun fact, the reason vampires never appeared in pictures or reflections is because back then cameras and mirrors were made using silver, a metal that was considered holy. Now in modern times, we use aluminum and other materials instead. So a modern day vampire wouldn't have to worry about those kinda things in this day and age.
Ah yes the castlevania archetype. Fun fact, the Vampire Hunter card is actually called Vampire killer, based on the Vampire Killer whip from Castlevania
Also, Vampire Genesis is based on Dracula's final form in Castlevania, Castlevania Rondo of Blood and second form of the first boss of Symphony of the Night
Vampire Ghost is based on the cult that tried to ressurect Dracula time and time again. That is shown in their effect. Also, Vampire Fascinator is probably the most interesting one, being based on Lenore from the Castlevania anime
Also, Vampire Takeover is a reference to Castlevania Aria of Sorrow, which is set in modern day. Also Vampire Scarlet Scourge is based on SotN/anime alucard. (Anime version is based on SotN version as is)
Vampire Voivode and Undead Vampire are based on SotN Dracula. An interesting thing is that Vampire Fraulein is actually not a castlevania reference, but instead, is based on Rachel Alucard from the Blazblue franchise
I personally miss the old efts. of them draining resource. but being that the grave is a second resource there not great anymore. wat is needed is some kind of eft to lock down those powers love the new things tho. but imagine the card stealing if u could drain the cards out of deck and prevent use
This is one of the decks I play. It has everything you want in an archetype, including multiple boss monsters, floaters, searchers, and multiple ways to flood the field either with more of your own monsters (Ghost, Domain, Awakening) or your opponent's, including Red Baron's ability to swap monsters. I like to run 1 of Red Baron, Shadow Vampire and Vamp because they each have a unique tech that is useful in various situations. You can also run Mausoleum along with Domain to add some flexibility with summoning. Ghost was such a useful card to add because of its versatility and ability to do multiple things in one card. Run this deck with Zombie World, Doomking and other usefull Zombie tech side deck options....and it's a decent Rogue deck only, unfortunately.
Vampire decks are one of my favorite decks. I think a monster that works with the current strategy and the opponent deck milling strategy from the previous support would be nice
Remember back before Vampire Sucker got a tcg release or official name translation and everyone was convinced it wouldn't be a direct translation of the ocg name?

2. Overall, Vampires might just be one of my favorite archetypes in the game. Not just because of the Castlevania inspired designs and lore, but also because its just so rare for an archetype to COMPLETELY change course and be rebranded the way this one has.

Still waiting for the speedroid archetype.
I played with the Vampire Deck: th-cam.com/video/8XMn1ifqvGQ/w-d-xo.html
just wanted to try this out! you're right on time
Oh I see, halloween is coming and you decide to make a spooky video. Good Idea! BTW your duel analysis videos are cool!
noice
You forgot the Baby and barely acknowledged Lady, Lord and Genesis. Plus your usual curse of this video having a high probability of being outdated in a set or so.
If you dive deeper into vampire lore you'll find out that there are living vampires and non-living vampires so they can be zombie vampires that can be ghost vampires because the souls of the living vampires become ghosts and then there are those who are Undead vampires vampires that have gone through the stages of death but have been slightly resurrected through a different ceremony but you seem to have skipped any actual lore when it comes to that I'm sorry
2 things you missed. 1 vampire lord was released long before the structure deck. 2. Dhampire is the name for a half human vampire. Interesting since it drives home the idea that the monster is ment to be made of one of your monsters (a vampire) and an opponents (a human)
In fact I believe Kaiba was the first to have a Vampire monster with Vampire Lord
Vampire is actually one of my favorite archetypes to use mainly because the color scheme but still a fun deck to use regardless
In duel links :^/ ?
@@yourfavoritejojo5235 Vampire is actually deceptively strong since their new support.
Of course, I'm not gonna be unrealistic and say they're viable in the modern meta, but if they get maybe another wave of decent support, they could be an alright rogue deck.
Vampire Ghost is actually an insane value Normal Summon, it's a straight +1 that sets up further plays.
The archetype has acces to *three* Normal Summons per turn:
1. Regular NS
2. Vampire Domain's extra NS for Vampires
3. Ghost's GY quick effect to NS a Vampire.
As well as Sorcerer's GY effect that lets you NS a Vampire without tributes.
Voivode is also a Called By on legs (though he doesn't banish the card) that can recover itself.
They have access to most of the generic Synchro options (Baronne, PEP, Chaos Ruler, etc.) as well as the rather new trap "Ghost Meets Girl: A Masterful Mayakashi Shiranui Saga" via the Mayakashi Link-3.
This trap disables Special Summons from the hand, deck and extra deck for the rest of the turn for both players.
If I had to guess why there is such a thing as a vampire zombie. If you go by Konami’s Castlevania Dracula keeps coming back a lot and will occasionally transform into something bigger even though his initial body was killed off.
Zombie Vampire might be a reference to his Harmony of Dissonance appearance.
So the actual reason for why a vampire's reflection is not actually that they don't have a reflection, but because the mirrors used to have silver backing to give it reflection, since silver was considered a holy metal things of unholy nature like vampires could therefore not to be seen in the mirror
There is another Xyz card that although isn't necessarily part of the archetype has way too much in common with Sheridan to ignore. Number 24:Dragulas the Vampiric Dragon could easily be the transformed state of Sheridan much like how Vampire Lord transforms into Genesis and how Vampires tend to have shapeshifting capabilities into demon and or dragon-like beings. Not only does it appear in front of a blood moon like other cards of the archetype, but it shares the blonde hair and the same color scheme as well as the glowing red eye. It also shares a similar revival effect as Vampire Bram. The fact that it isn't a zombie monster is the main issue. You also missed Vampire Baby, which shares the same monster stealing ability as the rest of the cards in the archetype.
There is also vampire orchis...though technically not a vampire.
Dragulas is overlooked in my opinion. It makes sense to be the transformed state of Sheridan.
I was just about to say that, thx for doing it for me lol
I kinda wish Vampires had a fusion monster based more closely on Camula.
Ps: Vampire Domination is what an in archetype counter trap should be, omni-negate plus bonus effects for playing the deck the way it should, take note Dream Mirrors and Time Thief.
Same thing with the Beetrooper counter trap, it's not an omni negate, just monster effects. Yet, it lets you reset the card every turn for playing more Beetroopers.
I want synchro
I'd love a Fusion that uses a Vampire+1 or more Zombie monsters (so its a banger target for Super Poly with Zombie World up) but could also be summoned by tributing a Vampire+a stolen opponent's monster from the field and gains some bonus if it used a stolen monster as material
@@jericmagnaye2705 For real, they're a zombie deck, so Uni-Zombie is already pretty much mandatory as inclusion and they sync into 7-11 really easily.
Chaos Ruler was also insane for Vampires (before it got banned lol)
Vampire Hunter also resembles Leon Belmont, the one who started it all in Castlevania: Lament of Innocence.
I know this archetype might be a very big undertaking but I really wanna see all of Yuya's archetypes(Odd-Eyes, Magicians and Performapals). They can be individual archetype videos but I feel like maybe a full video for every archetype that a protagonist used would be pretty cool. It sounds like a lot of work though...
i know i have been waiting for a pendulum Magician and performapal architype video forever and honestly i can see those working together for a single video because of the dimensional dragons architype video though a remaster on that to cover the new dimensional dragon forms would be great
This implies a heroes video.
@@guythat779 he already did one but more Hero cards came out so who knows what he'll do.
Honestly it's not that bad using Grace's effect. You want to go first, and when it comes to Fascinator or Sucker, you want a monster in the opponents grave. It also gives you information on what your opponent is playing, which is never a bad thing; and even if they don't have cards that work in the graveyard, they typically dump a handtrap...which is a win in my books. Though I also like to play a small Zombie world package in my vampire deck. So I get scourge and grace to become beatrice, send a necroworld banshee and doomking, and by the standby of my opponents first turn doomking is on the field, so even if the monster I put in their GY is something they can use, I have a negate for it on the field already. Even better if I can get voivode on the field as well and save doomking's effect for their normal or special summoned monsters.
Don't do it
Imagine making your opponent sending a tearalement or ageido to the graveyard , imo not worth the risk
@@number-qx1kw usually I want to get handtrapped with ash/urara or veiler so I can use it i as tribute for vampire shadow or voivode in my opponent turn.
The real problem is that if you drawn too many level 5 in your hand without any way to discard them and having grace which have no value in hand and field is worth it.
I love vampires and the Vampire archetype. Fraulein is my absolute favorite in terms of effect and design. She just looks so cute
Vampire fascinator effect literally prevent the old generation effects to pop off, you can't ssummon from your opponent gy because you only able to summon zombie, very clever way to show that she is actually a good vampire that kills other vampire and protecting the outside world.
Her
@@r3zaful Don't think so. Fascinator summons from GY regardless of type and *then* locks you into Zombies after doing so.
But that wouldn't even matter, because they're assuming you're playing with Zombie World on the field.
Cause... why wouldn't you? It's just a straight up bonus to Vampires since it doesn't affect them and fucks up a lot of type-reliant decks.
Zombie World is also the reason why Vampire Voivode is lvl 8 and The Zombie Vampire is a rank 8.
Because Doomking Balerdroch is already lvl8, so you can go into The Zombie Vampire with Voivode + Balerdroch if you couldn't steal two opponent's monsters.
I had a Vampire deck for a while. I enjoyed playing with it. The vampire has always been one of my favorite monsters. Great job on this.😊
I would love to see you cover the World Chalice Archetype, though I admit it's quite a lengthy archetype
World Chalice? not really. world legacy? Hooo Boi
I think he already covered world legacy in a previous video.
I think that vampire ghost is kinda of a "reference" to how the term "vampire" was a regional term for any undead creature on some parts of europe in the past, other regions of the world had their own words to describe creatures from beyond the grave: draugr in the northern europe, strigoi/shtriga on western europe, ghoul in the mediterranean, nzumbi on certain parts of africa (this specifically is the root of the word "zombie").
Bro, strigoi its from romania striga from poland like in the witcher series. Not western but eastern
You know what's weird? When you look at their designs, some of the monsters are wearing crosses, even though in most vampire stories they are weak to crosses.
Yeah, two things come to my mind regarding that:
1) itis some Rosario + Vampire-like thing to intentionally (temporarily) seal their powers. Maybe they even did it to themself so they could lay dormant until their time has come
2) They somehow overcame this weakness and are now wearing them as some sort of batch and/or massive middle finger towards their enemies
Don't believe everything you read fellas
This message was brought to you by the illiterate association of illiteracy
@@TheChiog Or maybe they go by Vampire the Masquerade rules: crosses and garlic don't actually do anything to vampires (unless you pick those flaws during character creation).
I remember in a story that when lesser vampire asked Dracula who his sire (basically who was the vampire that turned him ) was he said that he has none and that he was Cursed by God himself so yeah maybe that's why the cross comes up .
I think it might be because the shape itself has nothing to do with it, but holy magic. Crosses are supposed to be sacred, but a fabric cross made by vampires would do nothing to them. Maybe, just spit balling since it's obvious it's just a cool design thing.
My first guess as to why this archetype has mash ups would be a reference to how vampirism can be spread to anything.
While there can be obvious sinister undertones to that, this sort of hybridization has always been interesting to me since it can sort if show how even incredibly different things can have something in common.
Because it does felt like that
They are splitted into 3 different faction with each have their own method, remember ghostrick mansion dweller and ghostrick museum dweller have contrast different styles of locking, with nekomusume as the main play.
Vampire lord
Vampire Alucard
Vampire draculean/voivode
It'd be awsome if they made Vampire Fusion or Vampire Synchro support.
Always wanted a werewolf archetype. Vampires always get the most love out of the old monsters and it feels overdone. Gotta give more love to other monsters.
Very nice video but I think it was a little bit short on the background of vampire dhampir Sheridan!
A dhampir is the child of a vampire and a human. A half vampire so to speak. And Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu was the author of Carmilla one of the most famous Vampire Stories in history and the inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula!
Strange no "Red Moon Baby" as it was the first vampire card but wasn't switch in the TCG to "Vampire Baby" for a very long time or surprised on honourable mentions like "Blood Sucker"Blue,Red & Yellow Oni" which are meant to be vampire in bat form or the silly "Vampiric Koala" it's just so cute 🥺
One thing i'm surprised you didn't bring up is how Vampire Grace is pretty clearly inspired by if not outright based on the legends of Elizabeth Bathory.
I’d love to see the lore behind the Madolche Archetype
Yep can't be Halloween with vampires and the vampire archtype has always been an interesting one, including with the fact that it felt like to me a Castlevania archtype in deck form. All we need now is a Zone of the Enders archtype along with the Gradius archtype and we are good to go! Very nice job on the video TGS as always!
Don't we already have the gradius archetype?
@@adaurysantos I did say along with the Gradius archtype since I knew that already existed but not a Zone of the Enders archtype.
I thought "Number 24: Dragulas, the Vampiric Dragon" was also considered to be part of the vampire archetype. It even have the blood moon in the artwork.
Well vampire is not in the name sooooo
Well it isnt part of the archetype per se, but is able to be easily gotten out by vampire cards. He is based on seeningly a mix of dracula and alucard
@@ChampionMarx Archetype cards without the archetype in their names is a thing though, aren't they?
@@Muriuki34 yes but this card also does not fall under that ether as it has no listing of the vampire archetype in its effects
It's not a vampire archetype but a Number archetype.
Vampire was my main deck way back when, I had no idea it had received so much support recently.
Back in the day it played around using graveyard mechanics to avoid paying tributes for high star monsters, a super fun gimick to be sure, but man it was slow. xD
I love this archetype, especially the modern cards; the gimmick of paying and gaining LP as well as taking control of your opponent’s destroyed monsters fits with the vampire theme a lot better than the older ones.
One of those classics in the old formats, Vampire Lord especially
It feels very incomplete. All of the old and middle introduced cards are ignored, (very little level 6, etc solid support) and there is no other focus on the Belmont card, if he's just a 1600 anti-DARK battler and nothing more, he'd have no chance against them, no items or whip or abilities or anything. There's very little castle references despite Konami owning Castlevania and where is Alucard? How about a retrain if Genesis?
Shame that this and the great animated series is the most we’ve got from the Castlevania franchise for years. Once again, thank you for covering the lore and cards surrounding this archetype, as well as, the trivia TFS Anime. It makes your videos entertaining to watch. Btw, for the pro players out there, how good is the archetype in the meta?
I would love to see you cover the Fossil archetype someday.
Overall, amazing cover up for this archetype. Vampires are so cool
I now want to hear more about vampire fascinator seeing as how she might be an enemy to the other vampires. I'm also curious if those link monsters will lead Konomi to make a sub archetype of vampires based off the twilight series?
Vampire fascinator is based on Lenore from Castlevania the anime, who was a diplomatic vampire that thought humans should be treated... well... humanely. She still viewed them like livestock but actually cared about them.
Found the single mom
@@blackbird7781 this is doesn't seem is the case here, her effect literally prevent other vampire to summon anything from your opponent grave after you summoned her, the previous generation of vampire gimmick is special summon from your opponent grave, you can't special summon anything from your opponent gy because you are locked into zombies, unless you are playing against another undead army, which she is more than willing to help.
She's an " vampire-hunting Vampire" concepts seems very clear now.
@@r3zaful ....? No, im just saying what the inspiration was for the card's art. It is literally a more undead looking Lenore with less human ears
The story might be like this
1. She meet a defeated human then taking him to her castle.
2. She is taking interest with her/him but doesn't harm her/him in any way. remember she doesn't turn the special summoned monster into a zombie.
3. Now she's working with that human to prevent other vampire turning people into zombies.
4. She start killing her own kin "tribute vampire" so she can get more non vampire allies.
Another fact: Vampire Fraulein is very beautiful.
This arcatype has my favorite asterisk. I love the way these guys look
Alredy commented, but its worth noting that, out of all the Vampires, Vampire Sucker looks the least human.
Its possible that, in the same vain as Legacy of Kain's Vampires, these Vampires at some point gained the ablity to evolve and trade certain features and abilities for various new ones.
Vampire Sucker is batlike and has pinkish-red skin, making her obviously inhuman, but she is among the few that can survive in broad daylight
Whereas Vampire Fascinator literally turned into a predator of her own kind
Vampire familiar and vampire retainer seem to be also referencing alucard's transformation from hellsing
Alucard from Castlevania can do much the same. The transformations are references to the original Dracula novel where he has control over such creatures and if I remember right turn into them.
Vampire and Darklords are my fave Archetype so fun.
Yeah same I love the art work for both, plus darkworld and lightsworns. Some of my favorites.
While not stated in this video, Vampire Lord, the archetype's original Dracula stand-in seems to reference the Dark Lord's various One-Winged Angel forms by his transformation into Vampire Genesis. Vampire Genesis also apparently references how vampires in certain stories can, either through age or casting away their remaining humanity, enter stronger forms.
Funny enough, Vampire Lord and Vampire Hunter can start a nigh-infinite loop with each other, as Hunter's destruction effect can trigger Lord's effect resurrection from destruction by card effect.
Also funny enough, the Belmonts were evidently intended to be descendents of Dracula. Which makes Vampire Hunter's Dark Attribute even more hilarious in hindsight (especially given how Sonia was retconned out of the Castlevania timeline).

"Zombie" is one of my favourite monster types. I also like the Vampire" archetype but I play a somewhat generic zombie deck instead. However, Vampire Sucker is one of my favourite cards in my zombie deck. Usually I use Doomking Balerdroch as link material since it is summoned back to my field during the next standby phase (if there is a field spell on the field, usually that would be my Zombie World) and this special summon triggers the effect of Vampire Sucker which lets me draw a card. Furthermore that effect of vampire sucker also triggers the effect of Doomking Balerdroch, which allows me to banish one monster on the field or GY (or to negate the previous effect).
Vampire Sucker was also my "win condition" (more or less) against a Final Countdown / Crooked Cook deck in Master Duel.
I was able to set up my board but couldn't really do anything because of the cook.
Then my opponent made one mistake: He send a monster to the graveyard because of the hand size limit.
I used Vampire suckers effect together with Zombie World on the field in order to summon that monster onto my opponents field. Since there was another card on the field, Crooked Cook was no longer unaffected by other cards' effects. My opponent tried to use crooked cooks effect to get rid of that monster but I used Balerdroch to negate that effect.
Then I used Vampire Suckers other effect together with the effect of my Red - Eyes Zombie Dragon. This allowed me to use my opponents Crooked Cook as tribute fodder for my Red - Eyes Zombie Dragon. I was able to win the duel a few turns later (think it was turn 18/20 after Final Countdown was activated or something like that).
That victory made me really happy. Crooked Cook already was a well - known nuisance back then, so winning against that deck with my somewhat casual one was awesome! However, without Vampire Sucker (as well as Zombie World, Red Eyes Zombie Dragon and a mistake made by my opponent), I wouldn't have been able to do that. :-)
The combination of Zombie World & Vampire Sucker's lingering effect to basically turn any high level Zombie in your hand into a Kaiju has saved me _so_ many times - it literally outs anything that isn't unaffected altogether, and because it doesn't activate your opponent can't respond to it unless they proactively negate it with something before/at the start of your MP1 like Effect Veiler & Infinite Impermanence.
To out any Towers monsters you should consider running Underworld Goddess if you have the Extra Deck space, especially given how easily Vampires can spam the board without xeno-locking you into Zombies.
14:40 | That was Ganondorf's blood.
Where did you find the concept art for the card vampire fascinator to know vampire frauleins cracks are from the bite? Would love to see some of the other concept art from yu gi oh past
A Fang-tastic video. One thing you forgot to mention with Fraulien is at least design wise, based off of the character Moka Akashia/Shizen from the anime/manga series Rosario+Vampire with the pink/silver hair
Actually, Vampire Vamp is the one based on Moka
For the "send x card to graveyard" effect, an addition could be "cards sent by this effect cannot activate their effects or leave the graveyard except by the effects of a vampire card until the end of the turn". Might need different wording, but might make the effects better
Vampire Fascinator luring other Vampires is, in all likelihood, a reference to Mina Harker from the Dracula novel.
She was bitten by Dracula, but not fully turned, so she is able to sense where he is, and he can sense her location as well. Unlike other spawn, however, she is not forced to obey his commands, and thus she is able to lure Dracula into a trap
Both sucker and fascinator have built in anti undead effect attached. If anything they are basically the daywalker vampire as well like blade franchise.
One of the archetypes I wished the most would appear in the anime again. It's too cool thematically not to do once more.
I do miss when Vampires were focused on milling, but more cards started coming out that had beneficial GY effects so I get why they stopped. Maybe one day they could get a Nopenguin type monster where cards milled by Vampires get banished or negated as well.
I can't decide on which Archetype video should come next; the Thunder Dragons or The Gravekeepers?
TGS: shows the Vampire Hunter card
me: You must be the Belmont
yo i love your videos!!! you're very knowledgeable and the well thoughtout scripts keep me coming back :) keep up the good work sir
I appreciate that!
I adore this deck and love playing it both irl and in MD! I love the gothic theme and how the mechanics do feel very in theme of how vampires work
Of the best archetype in whole YuGiOh! Fun deck, amazing lore and amazing drawing style. Top Tier in my books.
Can we just talk about how the Castlevania references are mentioned... But not Vampire Bram being named after Bram stoker, the literal inventor of the Dracula Story and Character?
Thank you so much for this! This is my favorite deck and my personal one and I like how it got more recognition lately!
oh man I really love the art in those. Dunno how good a vampire deck is in the grand scheme of things since it has been a while but I kinda wanna play one now
I love the vampire monsters and I always felt they were based loosely off castlevainia which is why I add certain cards to my deck to reflect this such as pilgrim reaper to represent the grim reaper
Zombie Vampire sounds so awkward; would've gone with "The Risen Vampire"
It's still too funny that vampire dragon was designed by a literal child
While originally the Vampire Archetype's theme would be to deplete your opponent's resources by milling cards from their deck, the modern Vampires are centered around swarming the field and stealing your opponent's monsters from the field or graveyard for the purpose of summoning their Vampire XYZ monsters.
Common themes within the archetypes include the need to tribute summon in order to use their strongest effects, as well as paying Life Points or sending a Vampire Card from the field or hand to search cards from the deck.
To work around their short-comings, many cards offer effects that allow you to more easily tribute summon or even outright normal summon the higher-level Vampire Monsters. Additionally, a lot of Spell/ Trap cards allow you to replenish Life Points.
While the Vampire Link Monsters are centered around interacting with your opponent's graveyard, the Vampire XYZ monsters have a common gimmick of allowing you to use monsters you stole from your opponent to summon them regardless of their level.
I love the Vampire deck. My prime vampire deck is called Chibi Vampire as a tribute to the manga of the same name. Its anime adaptation is called Karin. A very funny romcom about an unvampire girl trying to get through school while she tries to keep her vampire heritage a secrete. I recommend it.
"boots" ya sure, thats what got changed, her "boots"
The Vampire archetype remains my 3rd favorite Spooky season deck followed by Ghostricks in 2nd and Vendreads in first. The only problem I face in making the deck is that Yugioh cards are hard to come by where I live.
Nearly killed me with laughter at 18:48 Had to remind myself that fanny means bottom in America.
Vampire Lord was released long before that Structure Deck, and Vampire Lady was released after Vampire Lord but before Vampire Genesis. I know because I already owned both Vampire Lord and Vampire Lady before my brother bought the Structure Deck, which was around the time of its release.
As well as vampire baby
17:30 Noble Phantasm: Kazihkli Vey!
Pretty much the first archetype I started building when I started playing again. And I’ve been loving this deck ever since. Always looking to find ways to improve it.
1:37 Camula is so savage.
Thanks for the video.
Amazing work you did there, the trivia is really appreciated !!
Vampire Kingdom makes any card that sends a monster / trap / or spell to the grave good allowing the user to destroy things on the field. It also allows the user to send monsters from their deck to the grave yard getting more of the vampire's grave yard effects.
I like there were Vampire cards in both Ghosts from the Past sets.
4:45
Wait, that's Peach's castle from Mario!😂
3:09 I'm not gonna ignore how nasty that board was
He forgot Vampire Baby and barely acknowledged Lady, Lord and Genesis.
th-cam.com/video/j1P6ocxJVGY/w-d-xo.html here you go
Vampire Baby was called Red Moon Baby in the original Japanese, so it’s not really a part of the archetype.
@@TGSAnime I thought the original name was vampire baby so it was meant to be part of the archetype and that's why they changed it. It got released as "red-moon" first then they updated it in 2013 to "vampire" right?
@@TGSAnime A. It was never called "Red Moon Baby" in the ocg, you can even look at pre PSCT versions of it to confirm this
B. Even if I'm wrong and it was at one point called Red Moon Baby, it's been erratad since, and is now officially a Vampire. You can even check in Master Duel, searching the card off of Familiar and Awakening is legal.
It may be a worthless, long powercrept part of the archetype, but it is still part of the archetype
One thing I don’t understand about Crimson Knight Vampire Bram, the artwork depicts him in armour and having a shield, plus he’s a vampire knight. So, why does he not have any defense points? Maybe he wants to forgo defense?
Love my Vampires, thank you for this video!
I keep coming back to this video because I love the vampire's.
And Castlevania.
But when I seen Camula and her deck both anime and in game, I been searching for and trying to make the deck lol.
Pls keep making these, I love them
Fun fact, the reason vampires never appeared in pictures or reflections is because back then cameras and mirrors were made using silver, a metal that was considered holy. Now in modern times, we use aluminum and other materials instead. So a modern day vampire wouldn't have to worry about those kinda things in this day and age.
Ah yes the castlevania archetype. Fun fact, the Vampire Hunter card is actually called Vampire killer, based on the Vampire Killer whip from Castlevania
Also, Vampire Genesis is based on Dracula's final form in Castlevania, Castlevania Rondo of Blood and second form of the first boss of Symphony of the Night
Vampire Ghost is based on the cult that tried to ressurect Dracula time and time again. That is shown in their effect. Also, Vampire Fascinator is probably the most interesting one, being based on Lenore from the Castlevania anime
Also, Vampire Takeover is a reference to Castlevania Aria of Sorrow, which is set in modern day. Also Vampire Scarlet Scourge is based on SotN/anime alucard. (Anime version is based on SotN version as is)
Vampire Voivode and Undead Vampire are based on SotN Dracula. An interesting thing is that Vampire Fraulein is actually not a castlevania reference, but instead, is based on Rachel Alucard from the Blazblue franchise
Also, final fact for now, Vampire Killer's character seems to be a fusion of Leon Belmont, Alucard, and Soma Cruz
I was missing these. It’s been a long time since one was made
I personally miss the old efts.
of them draining resource. but being that the grave is a second resource there not great anymore.
wat is needed is some kind of eft to lock down those powers
love the new things tho.
but imagine the card stealing if u could drain the cards out of deck and prevent use
OMG i was actually waiting for this one Great video man!
This is one of the decks I play. It has everything you want in an archetype, including multiple boss monsters, floaters, searchers, and multiple ways to flood the field either with more of your own monsters (Ghost, Domain, Awakening) or your opponent's, including Red Baron's ability to swap monsters. I like to run 1 of Red Baron, Shadow Vampire and Vamp because they each have a unique tech that is useful in various situations. You can also run Mausoleum along with Domain to add some flexibility with summoning. Ghost was such a useful card to add because of its versatility and ability to do multiple things in one card. Run this deck with Zombie World, Doomking and other usefull Zombie tech side deck options....and it's a decent Rogue deck only, unfortunately.
"THINK" it was justified? Till this day I'm praying that Dracula gets his revenge in the next season.
Vampires in reality are enhanced humans and such in body can become a Frankenstein mummy or zombie when dead and a ghost if they had a souls
I once tried building a Vampire deck. Watching this video kinda makes me want to try again.
11:32 there is just a shadow of his armor!
Vampire archetype is so awesome to both Yugioh and Shadowverse (Bloodcraft)
My favorite Archetype! Been waiting forever for him to do this one
Vampire decks are one of my favorite decks. I think a monster that works with the current strategy and the opponent deck milling strategy from the previous support would be nice
Remember back before Vampire Sucker got a tcg release or official name translation and everyone was convinced it wouldn't be a direct translation of the ocg name?

There is also Vampire's curse the start of that whole blood cost effect.
You forgot to mention Vampire Baby and didn't explain what Vampire Lady, Lord, and Genesis do. Also, you forgot to mention Seto Kaiba used Vampire Lord once.
The structure deck was the first one i ever got and vampire genesis has a place in my heart (even tho its not great….)
