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??
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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)
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 🥺
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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 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 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.
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.
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
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
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
6:50 It's actually really interesting. You see, the undead as we know them have sort of existed throughout human history. However, during the late 18th century, vampire sightings were happening all over Europe. At this time the common revenant, what would later evolve into other undead ideas we have today, were mostly seen as spectral undead. They would project their image at night in order to spread pestilence and plague. These earliest examples of undead also tend to be where a lot of common vampire weaknesses originated: garlic, running water, and the cross just to name a few. Edit: Also most of the "vampire hybrid" ideas also exist. Witches were heavily associated with vampires early on. Some Slavic myths tell about a horrific vampire werewolf creature that even hell has trouble keeping locked up. Even mummies were very similar to how we see vampires today, sexy, when they were first conceptualized.
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.
Loved the video but you missed some cards. Like vampire koala, vampire baby (red moon bay), and vampire orchis. Plus an honorable mention with Patrician of Darkness.
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?
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.
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").
I was just rewatching your video about paradox vs yugi/jadien/yusi......and it got me thinking that it would be great to see the main characters from all the series do something together. Either a battle royal or some of them corrupted by evil and the others have to beat them to set them free. So we can see all of there dueling types be used.
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 love the fact that there is a card called "Number 24: Dragulas the Vampiric Dragon" that is literaly a Vampire Dragon, but it's not related to the archetype. Also it is a Wyrm monster ._.
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
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.
vampire grace and vampire lord was my main cards in the old days, their effect when activated while you have vampire kingdom field spell face up , will destroy any card you want. you forgot to mention Vampire Koala .it's an old card but it worth mention.
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
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 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
Ironically I was on master duel looking at my cards noticing that I have a fair bit of vampire cards and said to myself it is the spooky month I guess I’ll build a vampire deck and then I open TH-cam and find this in my recommended box. The gods have spoken and the stars are aligned
I like this archetype, I need to make my own deck based on it some day also, I think Vampire Voivode's revival effect may be based on how, in the Castlevania games, Dracula is brought back every 100 years due to humanity's inherent evil (it fits with Voivode's ability to revive if the opponent summons a monster)
If you look at the monsters, you can tell what generation or bloodline the Vampires belong to. Genesis seems to be the progenitor or Lord, Lady, Grace, Sorcerer, Vamp, and Dhampir. Those that came form Genesis all have those odd chunky purple wing claw appendages that Genesis had. With the exception of the Links, Voivode is the progenitor of the rest as they all lack those appendages but have a pale to undead skin color and glowing red eyes. Sucker and Facinator seem to be of a different line as Sucker has really healthy looking skin, the familiars are different from the other two, and the eyes seem to not be locked to red (Facinator's being blue). Not to mention the ears of the two and that Sucker seems to be in the daylight as opposed to needing the blood moon. So that's at least 3 Vampire bloodlines within the archetype.
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.
It happened a long time ago but I remember pulling these cards out of a Battle Pack and finding that most were in an odd rarity I think was called 'Star Foil'. It looked like starry sparkles. Thus, I was convinced Konami wanted to make Sparkly Vampires.
Day number next of wanting to see more support in general for Aromas, Fortune Fairies, Fortune Ladies, Earthbound Immortals, Reptiliannes, Dragonmaids, Gimmick Puppets, Infernitys, Cyber Angels, Rikkas, Madolches, Plant Princesses, Ice Barriers, and Nordics/Aesirs
I wonder if Vampire Retainer being dog-like is a reference to a hellhound. Only reason I think this is because in the movie "The Lost Boys", the Vampire expert characters state that a vampire or the head vampire (I forget which) will have a hellhound in its service to protect it. Plus, the hellhound was also white in the movie and Retainer's normal form is that of a white dog as well.
8:34 i think this is the most popular card in the archetype 9:02 so in fiction having a shadow counts as having a soul? wonder if there will be a day a fiction work compares vampires with holograms, that don't cast a shadow either
I was waiting for their last few support cards in master duel for months, lot of fun to finally have them out. Next deck I'm waiting on is the amazon OCG support. lol
First i have to say that the first time that i learned how to say Castlevania i couldn't stop saying like it should be said is too Cool (i'm an spanish speaker) and second i love the vampire archetype is just so awesome a shame that Camula was the Last Vampire in the Yugioh Universe... as i said once a lot of us would be very happy of "helped" her with that problem And at third Fraulein is young woman or Lady in German and Red Baron is a reference to the famous German Pilot the Red Baron... what is kind a patron with German things in this 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
I have two card ideas to bring back the OG Vampire Lord and Genesis: Vampire Lord - Reincarnated Attribute: Dark Type: Zombie Level: 5 Atk: 2000 Def: 1500 Effect1: This card is always treated as “Vampire Lord”. Effect2: You can Special Summon this card from your Hand or GY by banishing one Zombie Monster from Either Player’s GY. This effect can only be used once per turn. Effect3: (Quick Effect) If this card is used to summon “Vampire Genesis”, then that summoned monster is unaffected by your opponent’s card effects. Vampire Genesis - Reborn Attribute: Dark Type: Zombie Level: 8 Atk: 3000 Def: 2100 Effect1: This card is always treated as “Vampire Genesis”. Effect2: You can Special Summon this card by tributing 1 “Vampire Lord” on your side of the field. Effect3: You’re Opponent cannot Tribute Monsters while this card is face-up on the field. Effect4: If this card leaves the field, Special Summon it during the End Phase, and if you do, banish up to three cards from your opponent’s GY. Thoughts? Suggestions for tweaking?
You know a friend of mine a few years ago reintroduced me to the yugioh card game. I've watched yugioh up until 5ds so I'm well aware of the game but I've never had nor played with the actual cards That is until I met a good friend a few years ago. He showed me his collection and the decks he uses. His favorite deck was the vampire deck but since it was a few years ago, he didn't have the entire archetype. Instead he added a few other zombie cards to it to help it out. His ace monster was the red eyes zombie dragon. He explained to me that he won several tournaments with that deck so it's his go to deck Also sidenote is it bad that I find vampire Fraulein kinda cute? Lol
good work on updating the vampire trivia, although I did miss the older versions of the vampire and ghostrick trivias in which you began with a pretty cliche 'Vault of Horror' etc creepy voice intro lol w̵e̶l̸c̶o̴m̶e̷ ̷t̶o̷ ̴t̶h̸e̶ ̷H̵a̸l̵l̴o̵w̷e̶e̷n̶ ̶s̶p̵e̸c̷i̷a̸l̶ ̶t̷r̶i̸v̸i̶a̸!̷
Vampires are my favorite archetype. I built the deck years ago before all the new support. They were slow but I saw their potential because of their ability to keep coming back from the grave. Grace is great if you play kingdom but is still useful. Now that they can suck life points I don't mind paying her cost and is also great for rank six monsters with Scourge. With the kingdom you can also send more vampires to the grave and it is excellent against mill decks.

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.

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.
Still waiting for Black Luster Soldier archetype ;-;
Someone loves the shine; the luster...
BLS is just a misstranslated Chaos monster that Konami was too butthurt to fix.
I'm still waiting for all the Numbers' archetype
I was just thinking of making a Bling Luster Soldier.
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
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)
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.
9:00 Actually, vampires can cast both shadows and reflections, vampire reflections are simply 'rejected' by mirrors backed with silver.
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 🥺
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?
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.
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.
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 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.
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 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.😊
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
Another fact: Vampire Fraulein is very beautiful.
It's still too funny that vampire dragon was designed by a literal child
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.
14:40 | That was Ganondorf's blood.
Zombie Vampire sounds so awkward; would've gone with "The Risen Vampire"
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
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.
Vampire Hunter also resembles Leon Belmont, the one who started it all in Castlevania: Lament of Innocence.
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
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
"THINK" it was justified? Till this day I'm praying that Dracula gets his revenge in the next season.
6:50
It's actually really interesting. You see, the undead as we know them have sort of existed throughout human history. However, during the late 18th century, vampire sightings were happening all over Europe. At this time the common revenant, what would later evolve into other undead ideas we have today, were mostly seen as spectral undead. They would project their image at night in order to spread pestilence and plague. These earliest examples of undead also tend to be where a lot of common vampire weaknesses originated: garlic, running water, and the cross just to name a few.
Edit: Also most of the "vampire hybrid" ideas also exist. Witches were heavily associated with vampires early on. Some Slavic myths tell about a horrific vampire werewolf creature that even hell has trouble keeping locked up. Even mummies were very similar to how we see vampires today, sexy, when they were first conceptualized.
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.
Nearly killed me with laughter at 18:48 Had to remind myself that fanny means bottom in America.
TGS: shows the Vampire Hunter card
me: You must be the Belmont
I’d love to see the lore behind the Madolche Archetype
Thank you so much for this! This is my favorite deck and my personal one and I like how it got more recognition lately!
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
Loved the video but you missed some cards. Like vampire koala, vampire baby (red moon bay), and vampire orchis. Plus an honorable mention with Patrician of Darkness.
Vampire is only serbien word that are used across world
also fun fact, its originally pronounced Vampyr
"boots" ya sure, thats what got changed, her "boots"
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!
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?
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.
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
I was just rewatching your video about paradox vs yugi/jadien/yusi......and it got me thinking that it would be great to see the main characters from all the series do something together. Either a battle royal or some of them corrupted by evil and the others have to beat them to set them free. So we can see all of there dueling types be used.
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?
Vampire archetype is so awesome to both Yugioh and Shadowverse (Bloodcraft)
I love the fact that there is a card called "Number 24: Dragulas the Vampiric Dragon" that is literaly a Vampire Dragon, but it's not related to the archetype. Also it is a Wyrm monster ._.
4:45
Wait, that's Peach's castle from Mario!😂
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
17:30 Noble Phantasm: Kazihkli Vey!
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.
vampire grace and vampire lord was my main cards in the old days, their effect when activated while you have vampire kingdom field spell face up , will destroy any card you want.
you forgot to mention Vampire Koala .it's an old card but it worth mention.
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
Vampires made a good leap with the new support, but they're going to need some Hellsing shenanigans to be META.
Making a vampire hunter archetype that's a mix of Hellsing and the Belmonts would be super fun
I can't decide on which Archetype video should come next; the Thunder Dragons or The Gravekeepers?
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 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
Ironically I was on master duel looking at my cards noticing that I have a fair bit of vampire cards and said to myself it is the spooky month I guess I’ll build a vampire deck and then I open TH-cam and find this in my recommended box.
The gods have spoken and the stars are aligned
I once tried building a Vampire deck. Watching this video kinda makes me want to try again.
Pretty ballsy for them to take on vampires at night.
Cross+fire
Easy combo
Since you did the Vampire archetype, could you talk about Camula's duels with Crowler, Zane and Jaden?
I like this archetype, I need to make my own deck based on it some day
also, I think Vampire Voivode's revival effect may be based on how, in the Castlevania games, Dracula is brought back every 100 years due to humanity's inherent evil (it fits with Voivode's ability to revive if the opponent summons a monster)
If you look at the monsters, you can tell what generation or bloodline the Vampires belong to. Genesis seems to be the progenitor or Lord, Lady, Grace, Sorcerer, Vamp, and Dhampir. Those that came form Genesis all have those odd chunky purple wing claw appendages that Genesis had. With the exception of the Links, Voivode is the progenitor of the rest as they all lack those appendages but have a pale to undead skin color and glowing red eyes. Sucker and Facinator seem to be of a different line as Sucker has really healthy looking skin, the familiars are different from the other two, and the eyes seem to not be locked to red (Facinator's being blue). Not to mention the ears of the two and that Sucker seems to be in the daylight as opposed to needing the blood moon. So that's at least 3 Vampire bloodlines within the archetype.
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.
The structure deck was the first one i ever got and vampire genesis has a place in my heart (even tho its not great….)
It happened a long time ago but I remember pulling these cards out of a Battle Pack and finding that most were in an odd rarity I think was called 'Star Foil'. It looked like starry sparkles.
Thus, I was convinced Konami wanted to make Sparkly Vampires.
My favorite Archetype! Been waiting forever for him to do this one
I think one of the vampires in Camulla's flashback looked like the Tanya, the Shadowrider that came after her.
Day number next of wanting to see more support in general for Aromas, Fortune Fairies, Fortune Ladies, Earthbound Immortals, Reptiliannes, Dragonmaids, Gimmick Puppets, Infernitys, Cyber Angels, Rikkas, Madolches, Plant Princesses, Ice Barriers, and Nordics/Aesirs
I wonder if Vampire Retainer being dog-like is a reference to a hellhound. Only reason I think this is because in the movie "The Lost Boys", the Vampire expert characters state that a vampire or the head vampire (I forget which) will have a hellhound in its service to protect it.
Plus, the hellhound was also white in the movie and Retainer's normal form is that of a white dog as well.
8:34 i think this is the most popular card in the archetype
9:02 so in fiction having a shadow counts as having a soul? wonder if there will be a day a fiction work compares vampires with holograms, that don't cast a shadow either
I was waiting for their last few support cards in master duel for months, lot of fun to finally have them out. Next deck I'm waiting on is the amazon OCG support. lol
I like there were Vampire cards in both Ghosts from the Past sets.
1:37 Camula is so savage.
First i have to say that the first time that i learned how to say Castlevania i couldn't stop saying like it should be said is too Cool (i'm an spanish speaker) and second i love the vampire archetype is just so awesome a shame that Camula was the Last Vampire in the Yugioh Universe... as i said once a lot of us would be very happy of "helped" her with that problem
And at third Fraulein is young woman or Lady in German and Red Baron is a reference to the famous German Pilot the Red Baron... what is kind a patron with German things in this Archetype
Fuckonami: censors vampire vamp, bmg, etc
Also fuckonami: leaves the often considerably less covered up amazoness monsters completely unedited
Vampire Zombie is funny because that's like, double undead.
Its like Zombie Skeleton.
The older cards that connect to the newer archetype members are a nice touch to this video
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
Vampire Retainer looks like Monokuma from the Danganronpa series.
I have two card ideas to bring back the OG Vampire Lord and Genesis:
Vampire Lord - Reincarnated
Attribute: Dark
Type: Zombie
Level: 5
Atk: 2000
Def: 1500
Effect1: This card is always treated as “Vampire Lord”.
Effect2: You can Special Summon this card from your Hand or GY by banishing one Zombie Monster from Either Player’s GY. This effect can only be used once per turn.
Effect3: (Quick Effect) If this card is used to summon “Vampire Genesis”, then that summoned monster is unaffected by your opponent’s card effects.
Vampire Genesis - Reborn
Attribute: Dark
Type: Zombie
Level: 8
Atk: 3000
Def: 2100
Effect1: This card is always treated as “Vampire Genesis”.
Effect2: You can Special Summon this card by tributing 1 “Vampire Lord” on your side of the field.
Effect3: You’re Opponent cannot Tribute Monsters while this card is face-up on the field.
Effect4: If this card leaves the field, Special Summon it during the End Phase, and if you do, banish up to three cards from your opponent’s GY.
Thoughts? Suggestions for tweaking?
11:32 there is just a shadow of his armor!
Fun fact
Italians are immune to vampires Because they're made for 20% garlic
As someone of italian decent, i concur
You know a friend of mine a few years ago reintroduced me to the yugioh card game. I've watched yugioh up until 5ds so I'm well aware of the game but I've never had nor played with the actual cards
That is until I met a good friend a few years ago. He showed me his collection and the decks he uses. His favorite deck was the vampire deck but since it was a few years ago, he didn't have the entire archetype. Instead he added a few other zombie cards to it to help it out. His ace monster was the red eyes zombie dragon. He explained to me that he won several tournaments with that deck so it's his go to deck
Also sidenote is it bad that I find vampire Fraulein kinda cute? Lol
... so I made a Vampire deck earlier, and now I find this? Would have been really helpful, because I've never played vamps before.
good work on updating the vampire trivia, although I did miss the older versions of the vampire and ghostrick trivias in which you began with a pretty cliche 'Vault of Horror' etc creepy voice intro lol

Love my Vampires, thank you for this video!
3:09 I'm not gonna ignore how nasty that board was
Vampires are my favorite archetype. I built the deck years ago before all the new support. They were slow but I saw their potential because of their ability to keep coming back from the grave. Grace is great if you play kingdom but is still useful. Now that they can suck life points I don't mind paying her cost and is also great for rank six monsters with Scourge. With the kingdom you can also send more vampires to the grave and it is excellent against mill decks.
