I agree. Either they only get the extra affects with the field spell or maybe, only get the effects if they summoned by banishing their original forms and not by any other means of special summoning.
And now we have a card that demolishes every card on your field when it leaves the field, and if he simply stays on the field he will continue to just banish your stuff 💀
In my opinion, the Malefics should all have some abilities based on their original counterparts, but NOT the exact ability. IMO, they got it right with Stardust Dragon: it still retains it's ability to protect something, but different or limited. For M. Cyberend could have a burn effect instead of piercing. M Rainbow Dragon could have kept the mass destruction effect at the cost of all your Malefics in the GY, similar to the anime. This way, it makes the Malefics and their counterparts functionally the same, but still different I like the Malefic archetype as well, but without their training wheels in the form of a field spell (which, thankfully, are far better now than they were before) or Skill Drain (which is limited T_T ), the deck is an amazing brickfest with nothing much to make them unique compared to other archetypes
@@koalafromtomorrow5656 Maybe he only wanted to have two of each different type of dragon 🤷♂. Two normal dragons, two synchro dragons, two main deck effect dragons, and two machine monsters.
I think it's because dragons like Cyber End Dragon and Rainbow Dragon effect are not only just Overpowered but also more effective than any Signer Dragon card effect aside from Stardust Dragon P.S. : honestly Paradox should've steal Five God Dragon instead Red Eyes.
I would love to see more Malefic cards be made. Hopefully we could get more corrupted versions of signature cards, like Malefic Red Dragon Archfiend, Malefic Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon, Malefic Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon, and Malefic Firewall Dragon.
"Malefic Firewall Dragon" Sir you need to calm down, the first fire wall is already guilty of several war crimes. We don't need another one that can just be dropped out of the hand for free XD
What about malefic gandora dragon banish gandora special summon this card and returned a banished filed spell to the respective zone and returned All other banished cards to the graveyard and you gain 380 Life point's for each card returned from the banished zone
I love summoning impractical boss monsters. This deck is that but over and over again and some spell/trap cards keeping them on life support, almost making the deck amazing but falling just short. Definitely one of my favorites. I think the monster effects should be slightly changed from the originals, but still have some kind of effect, like Malefic Stardust vs. original Stardust Dragon.
Anime cards tend to be more unplayable than cards that weren't in the anime, simply because of the demographic that the anime ponders to. That is, the uncompetitive losers that buy cards simply because they've seen them in anime.
To answer the question about the mask, I remember a throwaway line from the film saying "I could no longer bear to look at the destroyed future with my own eyes so I put on a mask to filter it out"
I recently got back into the game, partly thanks to your channel, and the Malefic deck has been my main deck! I love the huge beatsticks. Thanks for making a great summary of them all!
2:30 I have the theory that the reason he uses the mask is because the movie was being promoted while 5d's was in TV, specifically during the last episodes, where we used to see flashbacks of Aporia/Z-ONE/Antinomy showing us their future. The other survivor, Paradox, also appeared, but never talked nor appeared in screen for more than a few seconds, so they wanted to keep in secret that the villain in the upcoming movie was him. After the show stops promoting the movie with movie scenes in the opening (literally the first episode they stop promoting the movie), Paradox is mentioned and Yusei has flashbacks of him. The in-lore reason for him using a mask remains a mystery tough, perhaps is because we lack the perception of ✨fashion✨ they had in the future
@@christianrodriguez5807 I’d prefer more 5Ds GX and original support for the archetype like Malefic Red Dragon Archfiend and Malefic Blackwing Malefic Dark Magician even Malefic Elemental HERO monster would look cool
After I finally watched Bonds Beyond Time about a month ago (it felt like a weird acid trip, especially when Dark Magician spoke and Atem was all, "nice play, Jaden" the whole time) I thought Melefics had this weird but kind of cool parallel with Toons in that they were other people's, mainly protagonists' monsters corrupted in a sense, plus how vital the Malefic World spell is, and how you can't have the biggest monsters on the field without it.

@@BIastProcX And yet one can argue YGO DM wasn’t all that relevant for stretches of time, and yet they never stopped getting support. So why not keep taking advantage of marketability and nostalgia with the nostalgia archetype, by that logic? The cynical outlook can go multiple ways.
Seeing as stardust's malfic form was the only one of those dragons seen as good I think having abilities that referenced their real abilities would have been atleast decent enough
Because it was Field Barrier but with a decent body on it which was kind of a big deal back then. Not to mention regular Stardust wasn't necessarily just there for the sake of being there.
Perhaps a Galaxy eyes Archetype. They are so cool. Cipher dragon is my favourite. Also the Malefics were always one of my favourite decks. Malefic Cyber End Dragon is my favourite.
I actually had an idea for new Cards of Red Dragon Archfiend (my favoured Signer Dragon) and Dark Magician (it's someone else using them) complete with their own unique Boss Monster "Malefic Chrono Gear", a Lv 9 Machine Synchro that jus destroys Defence position Monsters!
@@TSDamiano I don't run Pendulums at all, so, no, no, I didn't... Although, a Utopia would be interesting, after all I do run Zexal Weapon... the only Link I really run is TG Trident Launcher and Antinomy's part of Yliaster as well, same as Paradox...
@@verticalnote2.093 He's a clown and his Deck is circus animals, so I want as little to do with Arc-V as possible! Even if I do run Red-Eyes... (I have a playset of Gold Rare Flare Metal!)
I'll never understand why Yusei summon Stardust in his firts duel with Paradox when Paradox didn't have any monsters and Junk Warrior and Junk Synchron have more combined attack than Stardust
Well since only the first 3 shows happen in the same universe they can only add malefic versions of those shows, not sure why Stardust is the only one from 5D's up to date.
I think the reason why Malefic monsters are so sick is simple: They don’t fuck over the original archetype. See, if you want to make a Cyber dragon deck (like I am right now), Malefic Cyber End is unironically a great card to have. It’s an easier version of Cyber End to summon, with less restrictions. But here’s the kicker: they could have made the field spell clause ONLY accept Malefic World. Instead, any field spell works.
I feel like the Malefic monster should retain their original effect, but a little bit nerfed by “When this monster makes the first attack, you can activate this effect: [Retained effect]. “ It would make perfect sense, since the Malefic Cyber end dragon can attack and use its effect. Plus another support card that allows all malefic monsters to attack regardless of effects, seeing as how everything is so power creeped.
Actually yes and no. Malefic did get meta in past but more has an anti-meta deck and not has pure malefic.(thans skill drain) Only cyber end and stardust really did see play since they are the easiest to summon , sometime playing the gear or the truth.
I think keeping the originals' effects, or even straight up buffing their effects, wouldn't be too much for the archtype. Because removing their field spell insta-nukes their entire existance, making them that much more vulnerable to getting shut down. Like, imagine a card that is just situationally not a beatstick, and for that has the drawback of being treated as both a monster and a spell/trap card with 0 protection. That's Malefic Truth Dragon(that's not even touching the whole "pay half your LP" thing as well). And I know Malefic Territory is there for protection, but that's an entire other card you potentially have to pull and setup in order for just one layer of protection. If the opponent uses one more spell/trap removal, or uses non-targeting backrow removal and bypasses the protection outright, it's good night for the whole archtype.
Instead of Paradox stealing Rainbow Dragon to turn it Malefic , I’d have loved if he’d have stolen Neos Elemental Hero Malefic Neos has a nice ring to it 😃😃
I just had a dumb thought, Let's say you banish maybe Blue Eyes, Red Eyes, and a Stardust Dragon, So let's say all you're monsters are gone and you don't have a card. Then you activate Return from the different dimension
The Malefic is an archetype with lot of potential. They have a very powerful search anything spell card, 1 quick-play monster reborn and an insane synchro monster that can special summon other synchro monsters
To me, if Rainbow Dragon and Stardust mantained their effects they would've been TOO broken, considering that it was still the synchro era too Cyber end dragon could've mantained it cause it's not that strong but then it would be dumb to give the effect to just one monster
i would love to see what other malefic monster could come in here like say: malefic dark magician, neos, odd-eyes, the other signer dragons, utopia, harpies' pet dragon etc.
Jinzo archetype video, I'm genuinely curious of the different versions of jinzo throughout the years jinzo used to be my little brother's favorite card
Malefic as a whole is such a cool concept, and i like the designs, I just feel like they screwed them over with the effect changes. Also Paradox is awesome but I thought the movie wasn't too good. They could have done so much more if he was simply a villain in the 5d's series during the Z-ONE arc, instead of the movie.
@@matthewwilliams8267 it's painfully clear that the writer for Avengers Endgame use this movie as a reference for that scene. "I used the stones to destroy the stone"
Malefic World field spell: -real world effect. conduct draw, opponent choose 3. blah blah blah. -maybe special summon only "1 malefic monster per turn but it cant attack until the next turn" -probably have as many malefic monsters (5) on the field BUT only 3 malefic monsters attack per turn. malefic archetype: -pretty much what 6:27 has except remove only 1 malefic on the field effect and other monsters you control cannot declare an attack. -keep their original effects from the movie/original monster's effect(s), BUT with the catch that the field spell has to be Malefic World
I love how you break down these archetypes. One I absolutely want to see is the Dragunity Archetype, I fell in love with the archetype on duel links and I feel like it doesn't get much attention
I still love these cards even if they aren't the best. Seeing them get some updates over the years is pretty nice too. I just sort of wish we got a few more monsters. Like give us a Malefic Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon, Black Winged Dragon, Red Dragon Archfiend, etc. I think would add more variety
All three should have kept their anime effects. Even if they might have seemed overpowered on their original release, "power creep" would have fixed that in time
My favorite archetype😍 and the one I came back to yu gi oh with all those years ago. I don’t care much for meta or competitive decks (not a big fan of watching my opponent play solitaire for 10 minutes straight), though I still built this one and others in a competitive fashion. I love them, they’re fun to use against my friends
Paradox wasn't even technically in the wrong. He was legit saving the world from certain Doom while yugi and friends were taking a time wizard spin with no guarantee things would change. They should be trying to help him lol
That depends on how we look at time travel. You can say that he would fix the future. You could also say that he is wrong about how the future plays out. There might not be a genocide in the future of their timeline. Paradox could create an entirely different future that has nothing to do with his present. Finally, if he changes the past he can’t change the future. Removing duel monsters from the past solves the genocide issue. It also removes any reason for time travel which would allow duel monsters to exist in the past. Tl:dr Paradox has the right idea but he doesn't know what the outcome of his actions will be
The DM era dragons DO have something over the other cards that most people look over: they are the ONLY Malefic monsters that you can revive after properly summoning. There's some cheeky stuff you can do with that, but it isn't groundbreaking.
9:32 honestly I think they should’ve been given unique effects that are variation of their original counterparts honestly just giving them there original effects are kinda borning just look at the majority of toon monster effect the most unique ones are the ones based on normal or non effect monsters while for others it hurts the viability Stardust effect is perfect in this reguard supporting the malefic play style by protecting the field spell so the others don’t die mst while referencing the original stardust’s effect here’s my proposal I don’t know what to give Blue Eyes and Red Eyes since being normal monsters shouldn’t be an excuse Cyberend Dragon when the card destroys and opponents monster inflict damage to your opponent damage equal to that destroyed monsters original attack points reference the piercing damage by having your opponent take damage from the attack despite having a defense mode monster Rainbow Dragon once per turn you can target one of your opponents cards up to the number of malefic monsters on your field or in your grave yard return them to the hand a reference to its bouncing effect but significantly weaker to compensate for the easier summoning condition
I like it to but my only 2 complaints are that 1st the archtype was small and had few cards in it and my 2nd is that for 5ds they should have done red dragon archfiend not paradigm
the Malefics for Yugioh is what Reverse is for Vanguard, I always loved the ideas of the MC's cards having an evil version of themselves, wish they could've adapted this as a season like VG instead of just 1movie
I believe Malefic Rainbow Dragon should keep its effect. The normal one is already a bitch to summon and its malefic counterpart already has a bunch of restrictions already. Thanks for the all the trivia on paradox and the archetype’s name btw. :)
They should remade the monster line-up now that it's too late to fix the monsters, they could make Malefic versions of Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon that can attack up to 3 times to monsters, a Malefic Black Skull Dragon with burn effect, Malefic Rainbow Overdragon with a shuffle into the deck effect (but It would only shuffle one card instead of the whole field) and Malefic Stardust Spark Dragon with a similar protection effect.

Personally I think they all should have kept their original effects from the movie, but with the catch that the field spell has to be Malefic World
Malefic World field spell:
-real world effect. conduct draw, oppenent choose 3. blah blah blah.
-maybe special summon only "1 malefic monster per turn but it cant attack until the next turn"
-probably have as many malefic monsters (5) on the field
BUT only 2-3 malefic monsters attack per turn.

-pretty much what 6:27 has
except remove only 1 malefic on the field effect and other monsters you control cannot declare an attack.
-keep their original effects from the movie/original monster's effect(s),
BUT with the catch that the field spell has to be Malefic World
@@easymixedsignals534 I'd say limitate the effects of Rainbow dragon a bit, from "all cards" to "all monsters" to make it a bit less powerful

The Malefic field spell looks so cool. Looks futuristic, maybe that's what Paradox imagines how his world should look like
But maybe he's just a Pokemon fan who's salty that instead of Pokemon, YuGiOh became reality.
look at all the pretty colours
Makes a nice change from the Shadow Realm, that's for sure.
They should Re-vamp it with ace monsters from series that came after bonds beyond time. Malefic Galaxy-Eyes and Malefic Dimension Dragons.
don't forget firewall and borreload dragon
Or they might also add more Signer Dragons to the archetype. So far it's only Stardust.
Malefic Utopia sounds like it could be really cool... only problem being I dont see how they could transfer over its attack stopping effect.

Yugioh bonds beyond time greatness
Malefic as a whole is such a cool concept, and i like the designs, I just feel like they screwed them over with the effect changes. Also Paradox is awesome but I thought the movie wasn't too good. They could have done so much more if he was simply a villain in the 5d's series during the Z-ONE arc, instead of the movie.
Yeah the movie was okaaay to me
His logic was to save the future from duel monsters by using duel monsters
Fighting fire with fire, you beat the world at its own game then delete such game, boom, world saved, that was his plan.
"I used the Children's Card Game... to destroy the Children's Card Game "
@@matthewwilliams8267 it's painfully clear that the writer for Avengers Endgame use this movie as a reference for that scene. "I used the stones to destroy the stone"
@@matthewwilliams8267 perfect way to put it.
When paradox took Blue-Eyes White Dragon from Kaiba Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon was born.
2:09 Sounds like he knew Mystic Mine was coming.
2:29 COVID, duh.
Finally my prayers have been answer by the mighty god Sam himself.
You worship sam? Pathetic
You worship Sam? Awesome
I would've praised him so much up he put "Mawefic" in the title.
Would you be able to do a Blackwing version of a yugioh trivia as they have always received support since they were released
I mean they were so popular they literally changed the anime itself
The whole video would help like 24 hours
One of my favourite archtype for bringing a huge monster easily
Wooow, one of my favorite archetypes, thank you very much
Super galaxy
I love the Malefic archetype! It’s so fun to use and I like the “high ATK beat stick” strategy too lol 😁
Malefic World field spell:
-real world effect. conduct draw, opponent choose 3. blah blah blah.
-maybe special summon only "1 malefic monster per turn but it cant attack until the next turn"
-probably have as many malefic monsters (5) on the field
BUT only 3 malefic monsters attack per turn.
malefic archetype:
-pretty much what 6:27 has
except remove only 1 malefic on the field effect and other monsters you control cannot declare an attack.
-keep their original effects from the movie/original monster's effect(s),
BUT with the catch that the field spell has to be Malefic World
What are the odds i rewatched bonds beyond time this morning
Please do D/Ds soon It's one of my favorite archetypes and the way you do these videos is so entertaining.
I love how you break down these archetypes. One I absolutely want to see is the Dragunity Archetype, I fell in love with the archetype on duel links and I feel like it doesn't get much attention
Malefic Parallel Gear was my first Yugioh Card I've got and I still have it to this day.
They should keep there effects but I'm biased because I play malefics
Hey could you do gravekeepers and its support like necrovalley. I've been seeing more like these recently in tournaments
It's not really Gravekeepers, more like Dragoon turbo control
I still love these cards even if they aren't the best. Seeing them get some updates over the years is pretty nice too. I just sort of wish we got a few more monsters. Like give us a Malefic Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon, Black Winged Dragon, Red Dragon Archfiend, etc. I think would add more variety
I find it funny how at 2:06 the red tattoo thing on paradox’s eye spawns in when the mask is taken off
I love this archetype because there’s a clear drawback of the strategy which makes it fun to build around. Like with skill drain. Or trade in.
13:56 "Sin Territory"
That's a different way of saying "Las Vegas", but I'll allow it.
If Malefics get better support I would totally play a deck with them.
All three should have kept their anime effects. Even if they might have seemed overpowered on their original release, "power creep" would have fixed that in time
My favorite archetype😍 and the one I came back to yu gi oh with all those years ago. I don’t care much for meta or competitive decks (not a big fan of watching my opponent play solitaire for 10 minutes straight), though I still built this one and others in a competitive fashion. I love them, they’re fun to use against my friends
Paradox wasn't even technically in the wrong. He was legit saving the world from certain Doom while yugi and friends were taking a time wizard spin with no guarantee things would change. They should be trying to help him lol
That depends on how we look at time travel. You can say that he would fix the future. You could also say that he is wrong about how the future plays out. There might not be a genocide in the future of their timeline.
Paradox could create an entirely different future that has nothing to do with his present. Finally, if he changes the past he can’t change the future. Removing duel monsters from the past solves the genocide issue. It also removes any reason for time travel which would allow duel monsters to exist in the past.
Tl:dr Paradox has the right idea but he doesn't know what the outcome of his actions will be
2:13
“Sounds pretty hypocritical…”
-YGOTAS Yusei
Dude that sound at 5:20 scared the shit out of me
I agree. I love this archetype a lot! One of my favorites to play
The DM era dragons DO have something over the other cards that most people look over: they are the ONLY Malefic monsters that you can revive after properly summoning. There's some cheeky stuff you can do with that, but it isn't groundbreaking.
Woah weird was only watching the bbt movie 30 min ago
Watching all these videos back to back made me buy a Polymerization card, even though I can't actually fuse most of my Fusions
I have Malefic Red Eyes it’s my favorite despite it’s drawbacks I’m even to make a deck to bring it out as a boss
please do Genex and Jurrac or more of the Hidden Arsenal Archetypes. Their Stories need to be told.
9:32 honestly I think they should’ve been given unique effects that are variation of their original counterparts honestly just giving them there original effects are kinda borning just look at the majority of toon monster effect the most unique ones are the ones based on normal or non effect monsters while for others it hurts the viability Stardust effect is perfect in this reguard supporting the malefic play style by protecting the field spell so the others don’t die mst while referencing the original stardust’s effect here’s my proposal
I don’t know what to give Blue Eyes and Red Eyes since being normal monsters shouldn’t be an excuse
Cyberend Dragon when the card destroys and opponents monster inflict damage to your opponent damage equal to that destroyed monsters original attack points reference the piercing damage by having your opponent take damage from the attack despite having a defense mode monster
Rainbow Dragon once per turn you can target one of your opponents cards up to the number of malefic monsters on your field or in your grave yard return them to the hand a reference to its bouncing effect but significantly weaker to compensate for the easier summoning condition
Loved this video just started working on a malefic deck like 3 days ago perfect timing
Do the Melodious archetype next
That's a lot of nerfs for a bunch of cards that rely on literally the oldest trick in the book.
I like it to but my only 2 complaints are that 1st the archtype was small and had few cards in it and my 2nd is that for 5ds they should have done red dragon archfiend not paradigm
I literally have a malefic deck in duel links and it’s usually my main deck
Next the performapal archtype
Great unbiased breakdown, Malefic for the win!
WELL IT'S ABOUT FRICKIN' TIME
9:40 i feel like it should be like stardust where it as a similar effect to its original but only useful with the archtype
I love the splashing in of YGOTAS series clips, would love to see a crossover at some point
the Malefics for Yugioh is what Reverse is for Vanguard, I always loved the ideas of the MC's cards having an evil version of themselves, wish they could've adapted this as a season like VG instead of just 1movie
Skill Drain being back at 3 makes me interested to play Malefic Skill Drain again
Malefic Cyber End should have kept its original effect, though I think that Malefic Rainbow Dragon should have gotten something unique to it.
I could of swore you covered these already.
I believe Malefic Rainbow Dragon should keep its effect. The normal one is already a bitch to summon and its malefic counterpart already has a bunch of restrictions already. Thanks for the all the trivia on paradox and the archetype’s name btw. :)
Awesome video man
They should remade the monster line-up now that it's too late to fix the monsters, they could make Malefic versions of Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon that can attack up to 3 times to monsters, a Malefic Black Skull Dragon with burn effect, Malefic Rainbow Overdragon with a shuffle into the deck effect (but It would only shuffle one card instead of the whole field) and Malefic Stardust Spark Dragon with a similar protection effect.
Here are the list of Deck Trivia you should add from Yugioh Vrains:
Code Talkers
Firewall Dragon
Firewall Dragon Darkfluid
Borrel
Tolopogic
Salamangreat
Gouki
Dino Wrestler
Hydradrive
@ignister
Codebreaker
Paradox: I fear no man
But her?
(Yubel)
She scares me
I think that Malefic Stardust's effect is fine, but I do think that Malefic Rainbow and Cyber End should have had their anime effects
Malefic Archetypes look like if Necrozma (from Pokemon Sun and Moon) fused with the yu gi oh monsters instead of a lion and a bat.
I like seeing an update to this video, they added new cards for one of the fun decks to play
