Enishi amazing going second board breaker. Some of the new gameplay with this support definitely proves that six samurai’s are coming back to the tier 1
Youre so wrong about so many things you said... First of all the small guys are good as chainblocks and they are BOTH amazing support because they function as starters which six sam lacked for quite some time... They are basically starters with built in ash protection. Then you have the shien which is busted. Firstly he is nib protect, secondly he is an extender and he is a name... Meaning when you synchro climb now you actually gain 2 counters just off the shi en summon if you have a dojo or smth. Then you have the enishi, which honestly is the worst one of the new support cards... Banishing so many samurais from your gy is very unpractical cause you want to keep most of them in rotation for the gateway loops. Yes loop, plural. Cause something else everyone here is wrong about, is that six sam will build a board. There is literally no reason for the deck not to ftk you through 2 hts with no maindeck bricks at all... And the new six strike card is again a incredible. The fact that it turns on Kizaru in hand or gy even without resolving kageki is really nice... Especially since kizaru can search the new dark samurai. However the deck will neither be tier 1 nor 0. The problem of the deck was never really handtraps... It was the requirement of playing such a big engine which made it impossible to play enough going second cards to realistically win the game. Yes the book of moon on the new spell is nice but its sadly not enough to solve the going second issue. The only way i see this problem being fixed is with a true king engine. But since baronne ban even that engine, which was by far the best way of playing the deck, is nerfed. The only real way i see six sam getting tier 1 is if they unban mx sabre invoker, which will make the deck so much more consistant that you can realistically cut almost all engine because youre then playing with so many one card combos that its just stupid
Honestly? It's absolutely busted, but I actually like the idea of a strong boss monster that other than disrupting, but actually supports the archetype. The new ice barrier dragon is another good example of that. That's how you make a good archetypal boss monster, it doesn't need to be better than Baronne, it needs to do so much more for your deck then Baronne ever could.
This would be true if it were in any other archetype except the literal war criminal combo deck whose entire gameplan revolves around creating an infinite amount of counters to then do everything under the sun. Six Sam should never be consistently isolated from nibiru.
Baronne is actually a pretty cool card for fleur since it helps you trigger the destruction effects. Only issue the card has is that it's to generic. If it needed fleur synchron to summon it would be OK/trash tier.
Ice barrier boss is definitely cool and it does stuff for the deck, its just funny that we are at the point where a "good" boss monster is one which summons anti spell fragrance from the deck
@@luminous3558 actually this support transformed the degenerate infinite spam deck that six samurai was into a midrange resilient deck, i know it's hard to believed with how the support looks like but as a 6sam player i'm not relying on gateway anymore, and i'm summoning like 6 times in the main 2 card combo and maybe 12-15 in 3 card combos which is far from the count six sam used to put in before
He can also be quick board wipe via hop ear. If you have hop in hand just leave a level 4 and a free zone on board after your combo and you have a major interaction.
@@fabianbeteta5795 Im thrilled about the support! The fact that the new main monsters are able to chainblock battleshogun... The way they almost entirely replace isolde for the combos... The way youre nib proof now! Its honestly stupid that konami did that. But im also scared that the deck will be too powerful now and actually get Gateway banned...
New Shi En is absolutely busted, but the deck still has no 1 card starters, so you need to invest multiple cards to make it. It's an interesting change of dynamic from something like Snake-Eyes. That doesn't make it healthy, but it's interesting that it's different.
Personally, six samurai playstyle aside, I like this kind of direction for new card * Have in archetype use for both going first and second (quick spell), while not being overbearingly OP. This help reduce the sameness of all the generic board breaker and not as bad as main decking it and you go first * Strong archetypal boss monster that has meaningful restriction. The new synchro effect looks great (search + handtrap protection/interruption) but its material is reasonably restrictive (warrior + six samurai) that you are meant to use him only in archetype. The effect is great but also isn't some ridiculous effect. Personally monster negate on boss monster for a SOPT is fair when it isn't generic * Optional going second card that has a bit of application as combo starter/extender. The banish effect force enemy to respond, and if they stop you you can still tag into one of the banished monster and continue to play. You can also use it for xyz/link and let you extend
I disagree. I think this direction for the cards isn’t great and most OCG design decisions made in the past few years have been quite bad. Having inherited effects for monsters is annoying to keep track of, especially so when the thing that gives the inherited effect can be freely moved around to wherever. At least with xyz materials that give effects they’re stuck to the guy. Additionally, it’s an inherited floodgate. Not only just a floodgate, a floodgate that hits 2 out of 4 of the extra deck summoning mechanics immensely hard. Gameplay resulting from the word “negate” tends to be less interesting, interactive, or complex than any other type of disruption. It’s lazy and it’s potent. Lastly, you can’t remove this from the context of the deck that it’s in. Six samurai combos pretty much infinitely if they get off the ground, these new cards will only serve to get that infinite combo off the ground, insulate it, and make it stronger.
@doomkingpass3258 Well, had six samurai had longer then 3 weeks with triple gateway, shi en, and smoke signal before the ban list nuked them then they probably would've back in 2011 lol
Funny part is the extenders are also the starters. If one gets negated. Special summon the other and search some more. plus all the ways you can search six sam? They don't care about not having a designated starter.
@@jk844100 You're bringing up a dangerous game because there are too many variables to even consider but I'll humor you. Firstly, a good majority of people are not gonna play pure six sam. Seeing as there aren't any real locks within the deck. Throw in a mikanko package or a infernoble package and those can be your starters right there. Let's also assume I don't have Ascetiscism in hand which if you don't know can dodge a lot of handtraps. There is fuma which once destroyed by card effect can special summon another six sam from deck. Six sam doesn't need starters like I said.
Six strike triple impact is a board breaker. It let's you choose between destroying all your opponents monsters, face up or face down spell and traps if you have 3 or more six samurai on the field
Now instead of everyone having a negate ( baroone ) which is fair game, only certain decks will have one, and everyone will complain still cuz why does six sam and yubel only gwt negates ( those are just some examples)
Just looked up the Six Samurai Quick Play Spells and the Six Strike Traps. There are enough good Six Samurai Quick Play spells to get from deck. The Six Strike cards on the other hand........
Lol what do you expect though? The game is so complex at this point it's like people are experts of only random "fields" of rules like they are trying to understand an ancient civilization. Speaking of worlds, in the Jesse Cotton podcast, Josh and Jesse talk about how when they played at worlds, even the judges of worlds got confused and messed up rulings in their match together,
So a thing I have to ask is: when everything just needs to be negate instead of interesting and interactive effects, why are we not doing more barons? That baron was a once period negate meant that if he trades with a handtrap that negate is also off for the opponents turn. This would make it far less frustrating to face just negate
I really just wanna know which packs these cards will be available in. I ran a six samurai deck back when they were viable and I’m just getting back into competitive now so this is very good timing for me
Assault is really good as a two of I feel, it can help get you started if you have a bricky hand or if you get interrupted by something low impact, it's very easy to search out thanks to trainer, it's a great extender because almost all six sams outside of gransmaster and the extra deck monsters are under 2k atk, and on the opponents turn it can BoM a monster and bring out Enishi who is a spell speed 2 bounce for a face up monster, it does double duty and imo is one of Six Sam's better cards, alongside Kizan and Gateway even. All in all this support I feel is amazing for the deck. Sadly they don't fix the big issue six sams have, which is their fagility to handtraps and going second interruption, double assault, Anarchist and Trainer help a lot and Lord Shi En being insulation turn one is magnificent, but the deck still lacks a one card starter and I think it's by design due to the simple existance of Gateway. Gateway is so powerful as an engine I feel until it gets an errata or is just banned again we won't be getting anything that does address that. However I'm still happy with these cards, I feel they have pushed Six Samurai forward enough to make them a viable archetype in the modern day, at best rouge with some funny anti meta matchups thanks to Anarchist Monk's level modulation effect. Being able to extend with stuff that isn't just Gateway is very nice for if you can't get Gateway out, since you can still, with some luck, land on interaction in the form of your Shi En's thanks to the new tuners and the Double Assault Card letting you access cards that would normally be just left gumming up your hand. The archetype still isn't even close to perfect and won't be until we can move past the cold fusion of Gateway and establish something new that can fill the power vaccuum that getting rid of Gateway would make, but I'm very happy to see new support that seems to be making earnest attempts to improve our game plan.
I like how the new quick play is just continue and dust devil all in one. But hey, stake your soul being a named card in archetype would've been way too strong I guess.
instructor gives you a free ass naturia beast if you play chamberlain, another reason to send it to a zoo upstate edit: you can also play elder of the six sam, but you miss out on the normal monster support for a cydra-like monster
To answer on Josh saying this enables crazy combos as a chixiao on crack i'd say this actually single handedly transformed the deck from a stupid 15 minutes combo spam deck to a midrange deck because you actually want to lower the end board ceiling by making this first instead of searching gateway with the link 2, dare i say that in most of the combos i theorized gateway isn't used, so yea broken and degenerate on paper but actually healthy cards. (Sure you isolate your plays from one disruption but not 2 so it's not like this means something in the current format)
i still play six sam for fun in 2024, end board= 4 mat appollousa + 4 mat asura king + shi-en + barone + natura beast not sure if the new support would even help make a stronger end board or what a stronger board would look like.. and i dont think these new cards will make six sam anything higher than bottom of tier 3 just above rogue because it dies to hand traps literally one well placed ash is the end of your turn...
This means secret six fuuma is getting booted off the deck. Enishi might be considered but Hatsume might still be the pick, need to look at sample decks later
The reduce level floodgate can f@#k up spright and all XYZ deck accept Purrely due to how Purrely XYZ is unique beyond conventional XYZ summon. It f@#k all synchro base deck.
The amount of misinformation in that sentence... 1- Yes, the 6sam gameplay until now aimed for some solitaire 20 minutes combos and was miserable, but one singular handtrap and that combo ended as isolde pass, so if you're going to cry about six sam then cry about plant link, Snake eyes and other heavy combo decks that actually can withstand a handtrap. 2- This support is brilliant as it actually makes us samurai players opt for a more midrange strategy, we're not spamming anymore with this support, the new shi en is too good of a combo protector, we're making this as the 3rd summon which takes aways most of the link-2 and gateway access. This support secretly made six sam healthy and fun
@@doomkingpass3258 I ain't gonna lie chief I do not trust any duelist to change into an interactive strat if their deck wasn't before. Not to mention you still forget that Great Shogun is meant to be searchable with new Shien which is a flood. If the style changes I'll eat my words. Secondly I hate plant link and snake eyes, I also hate puppet locking. Just because I'm giving 6S a bit of flack doesn't mean I'm ok with the stuff reeking in meta right now. Yall have got to stop assuming this because it seems like every complaint about this support is met with "well you must like snake eyes or plants and aren't complaining about them"
@@doomkingpass3258 "I'll make a safe subpar board because my opponent might have nib rather than win the game turn one." No, you won't. Every combo negate player says this right before they incorporate whatever new cards into their solitaire flowchart.
Ok, then what is a reasonable way to make a deck like this playable without long solitare game play? Again not "BaN Gat3 WaY hurr durr" and that's it. If there's no good way without it being degenerate then the problem is the power level of the overall game then a archtype that honestly isn't even gonna be a meta destroying deck.
We had to deal with degenerate formats of tier 0 tear, snake eyes etc, in the last 3 ish years and I'm sure he loved the tier 0 decks......but he draws the line at shi en 😂😂😂
The issue is six sams is a wombo combo deck that's not only uninteractive but now has consistent access to 2 floods. Probably the worst case scenario and people only defend it cuz the deck sucks
Ah, yes, the man who said it was concerning that Konami found the Poplar effect triad a viable template for other cards notably thinks there's nothing wrong with Snake-Eyes.
@@bastianflores1454now but he didn't have the same opinion when the deck first came out and it was funny beacuse SE is literally one cards combos to do all the generic shit
This guy has nothing but PTSD. Konami y'all really listen to this guy cause of mathmech? My brother in Christ, this only makes six sams playable in today's fast format. We have kaijus, shifter, the new monster reborn that steals graves, ash, droll, nib, etc. if you're not out smarting your opponent then what's the point of playing the game.
I. do not. wanna hear anybody say broken this and broken that on Six Samurai. We have had it. 3 years of tier 0 meta junk and nonesense and now is the time for us Six Samurai players to RISE. To take our revenge on the meta slaves and put some respect on the archetype. So yall better get ready and take us seriously bc itll be our up and comings. SIX SAMURAI'S! UNITE! o7 o7 o7 o7 o7 o7
@@Raphael4722that's why stun is the best, u need watch combos for 5-10 min, while stun end turns in 1 min or so. Essentially achieve same thing, not let opp play.
We need to stop giving cards field and grave effects. Its honestly ruining the game. Why cant we go back to using 1 of a cards effects per turn and only once that turn?
The new Shi En should have 500% took the old Shi En to make and have been like Level 8+. Level 6 Synchro with 3 good effects in SIX SAM is disgusting, lol. I will never accept them releasing weak bosses for archetypes again if they don't ban this.
Ha it's what the player base gets, complaining about every deck having access to baroone, now you don't get one ( baroone) and I get 3, I play yubel as well
@@Litigation342 Personally, I am all for Baronne and Savage getting banned in favor of good archetypal Synchros, like this one, but THIS MUCH VALUE on a LEVEL SIX SYNCHRO is totally wrong. Now, if other archetypes in need get something like this, then I can write it off as a new gameplay direction, but if only Six Sam, who got 500 waves of support can have something like this, then that is gross.
The correct way to mention how they've aged is to say
" These cards have aged like a fine wine. But you're either an alcoholic or his daughter."

i still play six sam for fun in 2024, end board= 4 mat appollousa + 4 mat asura king + shi-en + barone + natura beast not sure if the new support would even help make a stronger end board or what a stronger board would look like.. and i dont think these new cards will make six sam anything higher than bottom of tier 3 just above rogue because it dies to hand traps literally one well placed ash is the end of your turn...
Hope you have a 40 counter Temple of the Six at the end at least ;)
This means secret six fuuma is getting booted off the deck. Enishi might be considered but Hatsume might still be the pick, need to look at sample decks later
Runick six samurai?
Legendary six samouraï klesha apolousa
Triple Tactics cards belong to the archetype if I'm not mistaken.
we do not know who the guy on the card is yet
You’re thinking of Evenly Matched
@@alicepbg2042 I thought it was Great Shogun Shien on Legendary Ebon Steed based on Thrust but they are indeed different.
Gozen match too technically.....but six sam can't use it lol
Enishi could be good if you could synchro him on the opp turn
I don't think that you got the fact that the new enishi can bring the new shien back from the gy. That's really busted.
The reduce level floodgate can f@#k up spright and all XYZ deck accept Purrely due to how Purrely XYZ is unique beyond conventional XYZ summon. It f@#k all synchro base deck.
After this card releases everyone will make 3 of these I:P pass and call it a day
Still waiting on new mermail/atlantean cards hopefully in the next decade.
They will come in oktober
Before the swordsoul cringe this deck was goated with infinite summons
Nah im already running sams i am going to run the ones all day now😂😂
The solitaire combo deck now doubles as a double floodgate deck with protection.
Yaaay /s
Like yeah it's all good but man...
The amount of misinformation in that sentence...
1- Yes, the 6sam gameplay until now aimed for some solitaire 20 minutes combos and was miserable, but one singular handtrap and that combo ended as isolde pass, so if you're going to cry about six sam then cry about plant link, Snake eyes and other heavy combo decks that actually can withstand a handtrap.
2- This support is brilliant as it actually makes us samurai players opt for a more midrange strategy, we're not spamming anymore with this support, the new shi en is too good of a combo protector, we're making this as the 3rd summon which takes aways most of the link-2 and gateway access.
This support secretly made six sam healthy and fun
@@doomkingpass3258 I ain't gonna lie chief I do not trust any duelist to change into an interactive strat if their deck wasn't before. Not to mention you still forget that Great Shogun is meant to be searchable with new Shien which is a flood. If the style changes I'll eat my words.
Secondly I hate plant link and snake eyes, I also hate puppet locking. Just because I'm giving 6S a bit of flack doesn't mean I'm ok with the stuff reeking in meta right now. Yall have got to stop assuming this because it seems like every complaint about this support is met with "well you must like snake eyes or plants and aren't complaining about them"
@@doomkingpass3258 "I'll make a safe subpar board because my opponent might have nib rather than win the game turn one."
No, you won't. Every combo negate player says this right before they incorporate whatever new cards into their solitaire flowchart.
Ok, then what is a reasonable way to make a deck like this playable without long solitare game play? Again not "BaN Gat3 WaY hurr durr" and that's it. If there's no good way without it being degenerate then the problem is the power level of the overall game then a archtype that honestly isn't even gonna be a meta destroying deck.
Any six samurai players answer my question honestly could gate of the six go to 2-3 with new support and current format?
Absolutely not
Gateway is at 3 in ocg, and deck is terrible. People don't want it back in tcg because six sams can always make some super annoying ftk
No
No
@@metroplextitan8816 Gateway is at 1 in the ocg
Gateway to 2 I beg
We need it to 3 because we don't have a 1 card combo card.
*3
New Six Samurai support is 4 words I hoped I would never have to read again.
Emma valentine is gone love this support
We had to deal with degenerate formats of tier 0 tear, snake eyes etc, in the last 3 ish years and I'm sure he loved the tier 0 decks......but he draws the line at shi en 😂😂😂
I mean
He's talked a lot about how he didn't like snake or tear etc
He's just not a big combo enjoyer ig
The issue is six sams is a wombo combo deck that's not only uninteractive but now has consistent access to 2 floods.
Probably the worst case scenario and people only defend it cuz the deck sucks
He literally hates snake eyes
Ah, yes, the man who said it was concerning that Konami found the Poplar effect triad a viable template for other cards notably thinks there's nothing wrong with Snake-Eyes.
@@bastianflores1454now but he didn't have the same opinion when the deck first came out and it was funny beacuse SE is literally one cards combos to do all the generic shit
Now shi en can negate monster and spell trap soft once per turn 😂 fair enogh konami
They don't add anything of value to the deck except the lvl 6 syncho. The deck lives and dies off of Gateway of the Six Red/Blue loops.
Look. Again
Cool a new synchro that negates
This support it's only fun
Oh great! They gonna ban them too? Ain’t no gawd damn way! 😒
I hope they ban Gateway or make an errata, I am a Six Samurai Enjoyer but I hate Gateway
This guy has nothing but PTSD. Konami y'all really listen to this guy cause of mathmech?
My brother in Christ, this only makes six sams playable in today's fast format. We have kaijus, shifter, the new monster reborn that steals graves, ash, droll, nib, etc. if you're not out smarting your opponent then what's the point of playing the game.
I. do not. wanna hear anybody say broken this and broken that on Six Samurai. We have had it. 3 years of tier 0 meta junk and nonesense and now is the time for us Six Samurai players to RISE. To take our revenge on the meta slaves and put some respect on the archetype. So yall better get ready and take us seriously bc itll be our up and comings. SIX SAMURAI'S! UNITE!

It's better to have a tier 0 deck that takes 3 mins for its turn than a rogue deck that takes 15 mins for its turn.
Show this comment to your therapist and ask them if it’s normal to glaze this hard of cardboard.
I respect the dedication at least
@@Raphael4722that's why stun is the best, u need watch combos for 5-10 min, while stun end turns in 1 min or so. Essentially achieve same thing, not let opp play.
@@Raphael4722 this take is stupid asf lol
We need to stop giving cards field and grave effects. Its honestly ruining the game. Why cant we go back to using 1 of a cards effects per turn and only once that turn?
The new Shi En should have 500% took the old Shi En to make and have been like Level 8+.
Level 6 Synchro with 3 good effects in SIX SAM is disgusting, lol.
I will never accept them releasing weak bosses for archetypes again if they don't ban this.
Calm down it’s archetype locked as is it’s fair.
Ha it's what the player base gets, complaining about every deck having access to baroone, now you don't get one ( baroone) and I get 3, I play yubel as well
@@TheSliferSlacker199 Archetype locked to the one that has Gateway.
@@flackenstien it’s at one…
@@Litigation342 Personally, I am all for Baronne and Savage getting banned in favor of good archetypal Synchros, like this one, but THIS MUCH VALUE on a LEVEL SIX SYNCHRO is totally wrong.
Now, if other archetypes in need get something like this, then I can write it off as a new gameplay direction, but if only Six Sam, who got 500 waves of support can have something like this, then that is gross.
When you review new cards for an old archetype. It would really benefit to brush up on all the other cards instead of sounding stupid.
