A fieldspell could help them A LOT. Like: "Your "Worm" monsters Flip Effects trigger twice. "Worm" monsters whos Flip effect has been triggered can not be destroyed by Battle or Card effect untill the end of the turn. Once per turn: Discard a level 4 or lower "Worm" monster. All "Worm" monsters level in your hand become equal to the discarded monster. At the end of this turn: Specialsummon the discarded monster in facedown Deffense position to your side of the field." Helps with swarming, gives protection, synergises with the Flip aspect of worms, while enabling higher level worms to hit the field more easily (especially the higher level flip monsters). Example: It turns Hope from a -1 into a +-0 while helping you set up the graveyard. Cartaros becomes a +1 Apocalypse becomes a twin twister. Dimikles becomes a 2300/2000 beater, which is nice for a level 4. Noble becomes a magic cylinder. Opera becomes still shit, but at least it takes a STACK from the enemy. Worm victory becomes an insanely large beater. Meanwhile high level Worms are easier to summon and since it is still a normal summon, it gets around the "no special summon" restriction.
Worms Bridge Continuous Spell If you Normal Set a monster, you can Normal Set a “Worm” monster. When a “Worm” monster activates its Flip Effect, you can Special Summon a “Worm Token” with the same Attribute, Type and Level but half its ATK/DEF. Once each turn: When a LIGHT Reptile-type monster is Summoned, you can place a W-Counter on a monster in that monster’s column and 1 other monster. W Lexicon Galaxy Field Spell The Flip Summon of “Worm” Flip Monsters cannot be negated. All Flip Summoned “Worm” monster gains 500 ATK, and if they would be destroyed or banished, they are flipped to face-down Defense Position instead. Once each turn: When a LIGHT Reptile-type monster is Summoned, you can place a W-Counter on a monster in that monster’s column and 1 other monster.
OfficialGooseStudios I would laugh out loud if Konami made the Exclamation Worm an XYZ monster and the Question mark Worm a Link monster. Call them Worm LOTOW & Worm Mystery.
@@dtrinitypersonal Knowing Rata he'd just give a profile with 3x C/X/Y/Nebula, 1 King, Traptrick to get Nebula, hand traps, generic draw spells, and a bunch of traps to slow the opponent down. Then again, that's the only way to play Worms nowadays.
Most of these cats seem like they only exist in the vacuum of a tutorial level focused on flip effect monsters, right after attack changes and counters were introduced. I can already see the bad tutorial sidekick scream in agony of: "worm prince has such a big attack". While the calm smart tutorial voice points to his second effect.
As a Pure Worm player, I can officially say I am beyond triggered. As a matter of fact, I have ascended to Trigger Haven. Thanks. But I can't actually be mad at you. You've touched on some of the most frustratingly obvious points that EVERYONE whose ever touched Worms complains about. For a "deadly" intergalactic force, these guys are complete garbage (it hurts to say this) 'sides C, K, X, and Y, and have no ways of keeping advantage barring drawing multiple, timely W Nebula Meteorites. I thank you , and curse you, for your honesty.
fun fact - worm zero can be used in an infinite draw loop alongside fusion gate, chain materials and several e-heros due to that last part, draw one card. then, use it to fusion summon something, thus banishing it, then fusion summon e-hero... i can't remember his name but he un-banishes everything and then fuse him into something else to banish him. run multiple copies of everything in the extra deck and viola, infinite draw loop.
The reason we couldn't have future fusion back in the day were chaos dragons. Today it's Infernoids sending their entire deck to the graveyard by revealing 1 Tierra...
+Stuart Porter Red Eyes has good support, and their Gemini effects aren't all that bad. And REDMD exists, and I think that Konami could bring him back to semi.
17:18 I don't think Chaos Dragons are what is stopping Future Fusion from being Legal, think about sending any 3 BAs to grave, any number of Infernoids, or god save us 5 "roid" monsters.
Actually, "roids" would include speedroids, so scrap that, it would be good even then for setting up Double Yoyo, Bamboo Horse, Den Den, Ohajikid or Tri-Eyed
this was back when Cdragons were meta it was free 3 redeyes and a full field for an OTK in 1 card, and if that failed you could wait 2 turns for a free 5k beater and just run them over since you could swarm. It typically went like this. Future Fusion: Send 2 darkflare, 2 lightpulsar or 1 pulsar and one prime material, 1 wyvern to the graveyard. Special summon any chaos monster from the hand with a darkflare and wyvern, add redeyes to the hand. Since this was usually a dragon special summon redeyes by banishing said monster, special prime material or lightpulsar, then just swarm into protected OTK. Or go into Heliopolis and pop backrow with 2 lvl 8 dragons (Either galaxy eyes or blue eyes), or if you had a good hand go Neo galaxy eyes and just OTK with it alone. BLS, Chaos sorc were just a bonus. Future fusion basically just set you up for massive OTK since you go plus 6 with it in chaos dragons.
Just imagine how hilarious It would be(with pre-errata) with Future Fusion to dump EVERY Infernoid monster in your deck for Tierra. You probably won the duel but even If you failed(somehow) you still have a Tierra coming out in 2 turns which would probably will have the "Get rid of both players hands" effect.
Twyzan I prefer using gx roids. Getting out super vehicroid stealth union with chain material and vehicroid connection zone is always nice. Also I use steam gyroid... Cause I'm daring like that.
Because of Cartaros, X, Y, King, and Meteorite, Worms were an actual thing for a while. They were sometimes used alongside Aliens when the actually good Alien support came out.
I found duel terminal interesting because it told a story involving the cards. Which I would like to see more as many of the cards have stories across multiple ones such as Gagagigo's journey and the Six Samurai. I would like to see these animated, but that would involve some effort on Konami's part.
Considering that Ice Barrier received a sequel that gave them much needed consistency, power, and overall synergy I'm kind of hoping that worms receive the same. If you could do it for Flamvell you can do it for the aliens Konami
@@SadisticDoublei have to wonder what worm support could be now. What things could one do. Would they get more monsters(multiples of certain alphabet letters) or just get a plethora of back row support to give them effects like ninjas(like you said)... Both?

I wonder if we will get a rehash on this video for Archetype Archive because I wouldn't mind him going through this again with a different view and some decks to use the archetype and there is also the insect worms he could cover (even though they are considered a different sub archetype).
he did, it used to have a crossed circle before because he considered worms a cut above the rest, guess powercreep got to them and they fell into worthless tier with everyone else
@@gliscaradu1424 Well they won’t ever technically qualify for true legacy of the worthless standard, as unlike the rest the decks they did actually have small amounts of tournament success as an engine. Worm’s peaked at 2nd place at a regional in 2014, and a few others top cut (including 1 pure variant) at other events in that year too. Discounting the new support that pushed decks like Neos and Amazoness out of the gutter, they’re easily the “best” deck to be featured in L.O.T.W, to the point where they probably shouldn’t have been in the series
Worms are actually pretty good though. Well most of them are useless, but you just play Cartaros, Xex, Yagan, and Meteorite with 1 King. It's a little slow for the current format, and too based on countering extra deck monsters with Yagan (which doesn't work very well against Kozmo, Monarch, or pendulum), but it would still be possibly playable in specific formats.
...I know. I specifically mention that combo in the video, TWICE in the comments, and yet still people go out of their way to let me know "Uh Worms have that one combo that's playable".
I know you did and I saw the comments. I just feel like they don't fit the theme of "worthless" decks. It's more than "one combo that's playable" also. It's a 13 card engine that works fairly well.
It's 4 cards in an archetype that consists of 28, so less than 15% of it could be considered good. By all means, if the rest of the archetype is complete ass, I think it deserves a spot on the list. I mean, I'll just point out that Neos topped about as many times as Worms did.
Most archetypes are full of trash cards. Off the top of my head, here are some examples. There are 26 Wind-Up cards. 7 are good, 4 are moderately playable, and 15 are trash. Evilswarm has 17 main deck cards, of which only 7 are ever played. They do play most of their extra deck monsters, but usually only summon Ophion (and Exciton when not banned). Star Seraphs have 8 cards and only 2 are played. Performapal has 76 cards. If we're generous, I count 18 of those that are playable to good. So that's 42%, 41%, 25%, and 23%. So I will give you that 15% is low, but I think if you look at how good an archetype is, it's only fair to consider the cards you might actually play and to ignore the rest as wasted space. The majority of archetypes are bound to have a high percentage of bad cards. That might not be how you look at it, but I see Worms as a 4 card archetype with filler cards that probably won't ever see play.
The thing is, I'd never dare to do a Legacy of the Worthless for Wind-Ups, Evilswarms, Seraphs OR Performapals, given that all of these have seen significant tops several times. Worms saw a single Top 32 in a tournament from 2010, which barely qualifies them as rogue even in their own time period. If the aforementioned 4 cards were really just that good that they made them top several times, there wouldn't be a point in calling the archetype worthless, since the series is after all partially based on the number of tops a deck had.
Idea for the a Fieldspell: Worm Planet Worm Monsters cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects. Once per turn: you can banish 1 Reptile-type "Worm" Monster from your Graveyard to Special Summon 1 Reptile-type "Worm" Monster from your Deck into Face-Down Defense-Position. Boom: Worms will not be destroyed upon run into by your opponent, and harder to get rid of. It then is more likely to have tribute material and the tributed Worm Monsters can be used to search and set stuff. If too strong: Only Search and Set Monsters of equal or lower level If too weak: Add Effect: If a one of your face-down Monsters is targeted by an effect, flip it face up. If you activate this effect: You can only use effects of "Worm" cards, for the rest of the turn.
6 years later, a Worm field spell will need to be much more bloated to even remotely salvage this archetype. Worm World: When this card is activated, Special Summon 1 “Worm” monster in Face-down defence position in either your hand or deck. (Quick effect): Flip 1 Face-Down defence position Monster you control to Face-Up Attack position. (Quick Effect): Flip 1 Face-Up attack position Monster you control to Face-Down defence position. You can only use these effects of “Worm World” once per turn. If a “Worm” Monster is sent to the GY, you can special summon a “Worm” Monster from your Deck in face-down defence position, but you can only social summon Reptile-type monsters for the rest of this turn. You can only use this effect of “Worm World” twice per turn. Reptile-type monsters you control cannot be targeted or destroyed by card effects, and you opponent can’t target face-down Monsters you control for attack. Anyway, that’s just my suggestion. On another note, how have you been in the last 6 years?
@@yu-gi-noob9656 Nice to see the worm player base still alive and well :D I didn't play worms for the last 6 years as it turns out. But I'm still interested in off-meta decks.
A funny thing about Worm Call : if used in real life instead of an automated simulator, you probably couldn't surprise your opponent with the monster you set because you'd more often than not have to reveal the monster to prove it is a valid target, as per rules/game mechanics.
Konami should really give worms new support to make them viable, like worm fusion, a card that lets you use words from your deck as fusion materials, and a good field spell that offers protection. That would make them viable
What are your thoughts on Guardians Cards? ( Eatos Dreadscythe Etc ) Are they worthy of a LotW episode or do you think they're decent? Love the series keep it up :)
i made a worm hand traptrix deck and it wasnt that bad, xex and yagan are pretty good, and the hands make your opponent attack into it thinking its just a worm, AND meteorite is pretty good draw power if you draw 2 with yagan and xex out
has anyone considered running these with prediction princesses? tarotrei can set up cartoros, victory, and whichever other flip effects you'd want, and coinorma can summon victory straight from the deck... i think there's definitely SOMETHING there, especially when you also factor in the additional buffs you could get from brilliant fusion for seraphinite.
I once got crushed by a Worm deck that used Future Fusion, Megamorph, Worm Call, Zero and Victory. I was doing great, then suddenly - BAM - My field is wiped and I'm staring at an 8K beat stick with a 3K waiting in the wings.
Honestly, a good counter trap, field spell, fusion spell, and maybe a spell that let's u discard 1 worm to set 2 worms from your deck and maybe it'd be passable.
Hey, its not so bad for Reptiles! They still have Divine Serpent Geh! Whose been nerfed to hell. No longer has infinite attack, no longer connected to the Seal of Orichalcos, changed from Fire to Generic Dark.......... huh
If they wanted to add more monsters to the theme there are between 7 or so lost letters to the English alphabet including the ampersand symbol which used to be tagged on at then end after Z and refererred to as "and, per se, And.". Maybe "Worm Ampersand" should be a second fusion monster for the archetype.
I just had a really strange idea: how about using the small worm engine (cataros, xex, yagan, king and nebula) with subterrors and/or Prediction princesses? they could somewhat mitigate the issues of worms while profiting from nebulas Effect. Has anyone allready tried this?
Sir Ernest The issue is that Prediction Princesses could just be used in Shaddolls and actually be useful instead of being stuck in a cruddy archetype.
Noticed that Falco's effect isn't once per turn and also doesn't affect other Falcos on the field... Hypothetically, you could activate 'Worm' flip effects as much as you wanted per turn as long as you had 2 Falcos on the field.
3:00 What makes the effect even more worthless is that the stat boost doesn't count for damage calculations so Dimikles can still die to a monster between 1450-1650 while its 1700 defense position , source duel links.
Waiting for a collaboration with XundergroundmembersX, since they do a segment where they make fancy support for bad and forgotten archetypes, which can be combined with the Legacy of the Worthless
Very interesting review and yeah, the archetype needed a lot of work. Especially given their role in the metaplot as this huge, evil invasion that almost wiped out everyone. Say, will you tackle Aliens in this series?
I've got a card idea that could massively improve the deck in several areas, its inspired by Dragonic Diagram. It's a field spell: gives all Light Reptiles 300 def and all non-Light Reptiles, lose 300 attack. The first time any flip-summoned Light Reptile monster would be destroyed, it is not destroyed. Once per turn, you can flip one face-up Light Reptile monster you control face-down and add 1 Light Reptile card from your deck to your hand. Its first effect will help get over larger monsters or ensure flip effects of certain worm/reptile cards would go off as intended (like worm solid) and helping your bosses contend with other high attack monsters. Its second effect gives the deck much needed protection and gives your flipped monsters the chance to be used as tribute fodder or something next turn. Its third effect increases the consistency of the deck and your ability to get off flip effects.
Oh yeah, and if they wanna go the fusion route, they could add a spell card (Let's call it Worm Assimilation) that let's you fusion summon a Light Reptile (or whatever else that would make it archetype specific) from the extra deck by banishing any monsters from your hand, field, or graveyard as fusion material, the monsters banished are considered Reptile-Type "Worm" monsters. Or maybe, fusion summon 1 Reptile-Type monster from your extra deck by banishing cards, listed as fusion materials on that card, from your hand or deck.

Phil Hayes 3 I guess ero means perverted, kin means gold?
@@kylej9150 Yes. エロ is the phonetic translation of erotic (don't ask where the tic goes. I don't know), and 金 (きん) is simply gold.
it could also mean エロ禁 which mean ban on erroticism
A fieldspell could help them A LOT.
Like:
"Your "Worm" monsters Flip Effects trigger twice. "Worm" monsters whos Flip effect has been triggered can not be destroyed by Battle or Card effect untill the end of the turn.
Once per turn: Discard a level 4 or lower "Worm" monster. All "Worm" monsters level in your hand become equal to the discarded monster. At the end of this turn: Specialsummon the discarded monster in facedown Deffense position to your side of the field."
Helps with swarming, gives protection, synergises with the Flip aspect of worms, while enabling higher level worms to hit the field more easily (especially the higher level flip monsters).
Example: It turns Hope from a -1 into a +-0 while helping you set up the graveyard.
Cartaros becomes a +1
Apocalypse becomes a twin twister.
Dimikles becomes a 2300/2000 beater, which is nice for a level 4.
Noble becomes a magic cylinder.
Opera becomes still shit, but at least it takes a STACK from the enemy.
Worm victory becomes an insanely large beater.
Meanwhile high level Worms are easier to summon and since it is still a normal summon, it gets around the "no special summon" restriction.
Alot isn’t a word
@samuel fox True, maybe a restriction to only worm extradeck monsters if you activate the effect.
Call it something like ‘Worm Craters’ or something.

If you Normal Set a monster, you can Normal Set a “Worm” monster.
When a “Worm” monster activates its Flip Effect, you can Special Summon a “Worm Token” with the same Attribute, Type and Level but half its ATK/DEF.
Once each turn: When a LIGHT Reptile-type monster is Summoned, you can place a W-Counter on a monster in that monster’s column and 1 other monster.

The Flip Summon of “Worm” Flip Monsters cannot be negated.

So is this the real first episode of archetype archive now?
Only thing missing is the deck profile
Preety much. Yes
@@dtrinitypersonal Knowing Rata he'd just give a profile with 3x C/X/Y/Nebula, 1 King, Traptrick to get Nebula, hand traps, generic draw spells, and a bunch of traps to slow the opponent down.
Then again, that's the only way to play Worms nowadays.
Legacy of the wormless
Let's talk about Xex baby. Let's talk about you, and me. Let's talk about all the good things, and the bad things that may be. Let's talk about Xex.
Most of these cats seem like they only exist in the vacuum of a tutorial level focused on flip effect monsters, right after attack changes and counters were introduced.
I can already see the bad tutorial sidekick scream in agony of: "worm prince has such a big attack". While the calm smart tutorial voice points to his second effect.
As a Pure Worm player, I can officially say I am beyond triggered.
As a matter of fact, I have ascended to Trigger Haven. Thanks.
But I can't actually be mad at you. You've touched on some of the most frustratingly obvious points that EVERYONE whose ever touched Worms complains about. For a "deadly" intergalactic force, these guys are complete garbage (it hurts to say this) 'sides C, K, X, and Y, and have no ways of keeping advantage barring drawing multiple, timely W Nebula Meteorites. I thank you , and curse you, for your honesty.
I'm actually looking for a Worm deck from the past few formats.
+HalohbotTech If only Future Fusion wouldn't be banned. Evil Dragon Ananta OTK ftw
And now Konami will make 26 Worm support Spells & Traps also based on the English alphabet, and make them tier 0.
You know have you tried using prediction princess in the deck considering that taorei can get flips from the deck
He apologized for putting them in LotW
-What happens when you freeze an earthworm.
-It becomes wormed solid.
Personally, I love the worms' designs.
fun fact - worm zero can be used in an infinite draw loop alongside fusion gate, chain materials and several e-heros due to that last part, draw one card. then, use it to fusion summon something, thus banishing it, then fusion summon e-hero... i can't remember his name but he un-banishes everything and then fuse him into something else to banish him. run multiple copies of everything in the extra deck and viola, infinite draw loop.
Electrum. Youd be better off doing the Electrum OTK tho
@@ThatOneWeirdFlexElemental HERO Electrum has an otk?
Love this series man! I've learned alot from you, especially because I've just really returned to the game.
The reason we couldn't have future fusion back in the day were chaos dragons. Today it's Infernoids sending their entire deck to the graveyard by revealing 1 Tierra...
Yeah pre-errata Future Fusion would be really hilarious in Infernoids.

I'm gonna be sad when you run out of cards to make fun of.
That's when I have to resort to brainstorming and thinking of the next gimmicky series I'll do
+RANK10YGO
It's easy. Talk about an archtype that was SO close to being amazing, but had one fatal flaw that stopped them from shining,
+lvl5Vaporeon A good example would be gaia, heroes, bls, and red-eyes.
+Stuart Porter Red Eyes has good support, and their Gemini effects aren't all that bad. And REDMD exists, and I think that Konami could bring him back to semi.
Not possible - Konami
17:18 I don't think Chaos Dragons are what is stopping Future Fusion from being Legal, think about sending any 3 BAs to grave, any number of Infernoids, or god save us 5 "roid" monsters.
Actually, "roids" would include speedroids, so scrap that, it would be good even then for setting up Double Yoyo, Bamboo Horse, Den Den, Ohajikid or Tri-Eyed
this was back when Cdragons were meta it was free 3 redeyes and a full field for an OTK in 1 card, and if that failed you could wait 2 turns for a free 5k beater and just run them over since you could swarm. It typically went like this.
Future Fusion: Send 2 darkflare, 2 lightpulsar or 1 pulsar and one prime material, 1 wyvern to the graveyard. Special summon any chaos monster from the hand with a darkflare and wyvern, add redeyes to the hand. Since this was usually a dragon special summon redeyes by banishing said monster, special prime material or lightpulsar, then just swarm into protected OTK. Or go into Heliopolis and pop backrow with 2 lvl 8 dragons (Either galaxy eyes or blue eyes), or if you had a good hand go Neo galaxy eyes and just OTK with it alone. BLS, Chaos sorc were just a bonus. Future fusion basically just set you up for massive OTK since you go plus 6 with it in chaos dragons.
Just imagine how hilarious It would be(with pre-errata) with Future Fusion to dump EVERY Infernoid monster in your deck for Tierra. You probably won the duel but even If you failed(somehow) you still have a Tierra coming out in 2 turns which would probably will have the "Get rid of both players hands" effect.
Twyzan Oh god I have nightmares just from that.
Twyzan I prefer using gx roids. Getting out super vehicroid stealth union with chain material and vehicroid connection zone is always nice. Also I use steam gyroid... Cause I'm daring like that.
It took me this long to realize that Xex and Yagan appear in the background of each other's art...
Holy Crap. Just found your channel. Great content!!!!! 10/10.
Worm Solid: Solid Snakes clone brother nobody wants to talk about
Get Ugly onto the opponents field, use xex to send Yagan to the graveyard, special summon Yagan, return Ugly to your own hand. boom.
Because of Cartaros, X, Y, King, and Meteorite, Worms were an actual thing for a while. They were sometimes used alongside Aliens when the actually good Alien support came out.
Hero Worms were a thing back in the day, as well, since Worms were LIGHT.
“Worm illidan...”
*shows illidan stormrage*
“...wait wrong picture”
LOL
Dear Mentelgen,
Thank you for brightening my day.
lol Great vid Rata! I love your intros "ladies and mentlegen, railbikes and railcars".
I found duel terminal interesting because it told a story involving the cards. Which I would like to see more as many of the cards have stories across multiple ones such as Gagagigo's journey and the Six Samurai. I would like to see these animated, but that would involve some effort on Konami's part.
These are awesome. They verify my existence.
man i love this series keep up the great work man i look forward to the next one
Considering that Ice Barrier received a sequel that gave them much needed consistency, power, and overall synergy I'm kind of hoping that worms receive the same. If you could do it for Flamvell you can do it for the aliens Konami
I'd love something like that. Maybe something like how ninjas can special into facedown and/or the ability to flip back down like ghostricks
@@SadisticDoublei have to wonder what worm support could be now. What things could one do. Would they get more monsters(multiples of certain alphabet letters) or just get a plethora of back row support to give them effects like ninjas(like you said)... Both?
@@scary-sounds for back row, maybe an archetypal "Book of Moon" or Book of Eclipse.
@@SadisticDouble that makes some sense. As for monsters i think if they wanted to make new worm monsters they could pull from other alphabets.
@@scary-sounds love the idea, don't know how it could be implemented tho. Especially across other languages
truly the master of comedy
I was about to say Ally of Justice, then I saw it in my suggested videos. Glad you gave their counterpart a thing.
not gonna lie, your voice helped me pull and all nighter and when i did finally sleep, i rember your voive explaing why secondary weapons in games are usaless
okay, first: I just found your Cannal today and I love your Vidoes ^^
and Second: I actually try to Build a Worm Deck, Its quied well, not the Best Deck but tbh very funny to play if you use some Rank 4 xyz stuff, I like it =D
I wonder if we will get a rehash on this video for Archetype Archive because I wouldn't mind him going through this again with a different view and some decks to use the archetype and there is also the insect worms he could cover (even though they are considered a different sub archetype).
Is it me, or did he changed the thumbnail?
he did, it used to have a crossed circle before because he considered worms a cut above the rest, guess powercreep got to them and they fell into worthless tier with everyone else
@@gliscaradu1424 Well they won’t ever technically qualify for true legacy of the worthless standard, as unlike the rest the decks they did actually have small amounts of tournament success as an engine. Worm’s peaked at 2nd place at a regional in 2014, and a few others top cut (including 1 pure variant) at other events in that year too. Discounting the new support that pushed decks like Neos and Amazoness out of the gutter, they’re easily the “best” deck to be featured in L.O.T.W, to the point where they probably shouldn’t have been in the series
@@JustInCaseD comparing them to flamvells, B.E.S they are pretty good
Children's card game aside, could you imagine how batshit insane a Worm cosmic horror series would be?
New thumbnail????
Worms are actually pretty good though. Well most of them are useless, but you just play Cartaros, Xex, Yagan, and Meteorite with 1 King. It's a little slow for the current format, and too based on countering extra deck monsters with Yagan (which doesn't work very well against Kozmo, Monarch, or pendulum), but it would still be possibly playable in specific formats.
...I know. I specifically mention that combo in the video, TWICE in the comments, and yet still people go out of their way to let me know "Uh Worms have that one combo that's playable".
I know you did and I saw the comments. I just feel like they don't fit the theme of "worthless" decks. It's more than "one combo that's playable" also. It's a 13 card engine that works fairly well.
It's 4 cards in an archetype that consists of 28, so less than 15% of it could be considered good. By all means, if the rest of the archetype is complete ass, I think it deserves a spot on the list. I mean, I'll just point out that Neos topped about as many times as Worms did.
Most archetypes are full of trash cards. Off the top of my head, here are some examples. There are 26 Wind-Up cards. 7 are good, 4 are moderately playable, and 15 are trash. Evilswarm has 17 main deck cards, of which only 7 are ever played. They do play most of their extra deck monsters, but usually only summon Ophion (and Exciton when not banned). Star Seraphs have 8 cards and only 2 are played. Performapal has 76 cards. If we're generous, I count 18 of those that are playable to good. So that's 42%, 41%, 25%, and 23%. So I will give you that 15% is low, but I think if you look at how good an archetype is, it's only fair to consider the cards you might actually play and to ignore the rest as wasted space. The majority of archetypes are bound to have a high percentage of bad cards. That might not be how you look at it, but I see Worms as a 4 card archetype with filler cards that probably won't ever see play.
The thing is, I'd never dare to do a Legacy of the Worthless for Wind-Ups, Evilswarms, Seraphs OR Performapals, given that all of these have seen significant tops several times. Worms saw a single Top 32 in a tournament from 2010, which barely qualifies them as rogue even in their own time period. If the aforementioned 4 cards were really just that good that they made them top several times, there wouldn't be a point in calling the archetype worthless, since the series is after all partially based on the number of tops a deck had.
Okay glad I’m not the only one who noticed the thumbnail change
thank you so much I needed this type of video For my custom cards
Mentioned prince conformed rank10 killed prince
Oh shit the thumbnail isn't weird anymore. Didn't think rata would update it along with the other old vid thumbnails.
Idea for the a Fieldspell:
Worm Planet
Worm Monsters cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects.
Once per turn: you can banish 1 Reptile-type "Worm" Monster from your Graveyard to Special Summon 1 Reptile-type "Worm" Monster from your Deck into Face-Down Defense-Position.
Boom:
Worms will not be destroyed upon run into by your opponent, and harder to get rid of. It then is more likely to have tribute material and the tributed Worm Monsters can be used to search and set stuff.
If too strong: Only Search and Set Monsters of equal or lower level
If too weak: Add Effect: If a one of your face-down Monsters is targeted by an effect, flip it face up. If you activate this effect: You can only use effects of "Worm" cards, for the rest of the turn.
6 years later, a Worm field spell will need to be much more bloated to even remotely salvage this archetype.
Worm World:
When this card is activated, Special Summon 1 “Worm” monster in Face-down defence position in either your hand or deck. (Quick effect): Flip 1 Face-Down defence position Monster you control to Face-Up Attack position. (Quick Effect): Flip 1 Face-Up attack position Monster you control to Face-Down defence position. You can only use these effects of “Worm World” once per turn. If a “Worm” Monster is sent to the GY, you can special summon a “Worm” Monster from your Deck in face-down defence position, but you can only social summon Reptile-type monsters for the rest of this turn. You can only use this effect of “Worm World” twice per turn. Reptile-type monsters you control cannot be targeted or destroyed by card effects, and you opponent can’t target face-down Monsters you control for attack.
Anyway, that’s just my suggestion.
On another note, how have you been in the last 6 years?
@@yu-gi-noob9656 Nice to see the worm player base still alive and well :D
I didn't play worms for the last 6 years as it turns out. But I'm still interested in off-meta decks.
I noticed the new thumbnail.
Worm victory and snake rain, silliest combo
A funny thing about Worm Call : if used in real life instead of an automated simulator, you probably couldn't surprise your opponent with the monster you set because you'd more often than not have to reveal the monster to prove it is a valid target, as per rules/game mechanics.
Then you'd also have to reveal every single monster and spell/trap card you set, since you'd have to prove that they're really a spell/trap card
+cinansnickem - nejlepší číňan v okolí RIP Artifacts
That's usually in local play.
Konami should really give worms new support to make them viable, like worm fusion, a card that lets you use words from your deck as fusion materials, and a good field spell that offers protection. That would make them viable
That Warcraft reference made my day.
So what are your thoughts on the Galaxy-Eyes archetype? Personally it's my favorite but I'd love to hear your opinion.
What are your thoughts on Guardians Cards? ( Eatos Dreadscythe Etc ) Are they worthy of a LotW episode or do you think they're decent? Love the series keep it up :)
no "ñ" :c
What song did you use in the background, it sounds gloomy and dark, I heard this song before on another yugioh vid...
Holy Exodia these things are nightmare fuel!
i made a worm hand traptrix deck and it wasnt that bad, xex and yagan are pretty good, and the hands make your opponent attack into it thinking its just a worm, AND meteorite is pretty good draw power if you draw 2 with yagan and xex out
to think subterror is doing this but better
has anyone considered running these with prediction princesses? tarotrei can set up cartoros, victory, and whichever other flip effects you'd want, and coinorma can summon victory straight from the deck... i think there's definitely SOMETHING there, especially when you also factor in the additional buffs you could get from brilliant fusion for seraphinite.
I once got crushed by a Worm deck that used Future Fusion, Megamorph, Worm Call, Zero and Victory. I was doing great, then suddenly - BAM - My field is wiped and I'm staring at an 8K beat stick with a 3K waiting in the wings.
I just realized what and where his server photo came from
The Warcraft Illidan joke cracked me up
Honestly, a good counter trap, field spell, fusion spell, and maybe a spell that let's u discard 1 worm to set 2 worms from your deck and maybe it'd be passable.
Hey, its not so bad for Reptiles! They still have Divine Serpent Geh!
Whose been nerfed to hell.
No longer has infinite attack, no longer connected to the Seal of Orichalcos, changed from Fire to Generic Dark.......... huh
Windrake101 And it's pretty much The Wicked Avatar on Crack and can't be destroyed by card effects
Infinite attack would be cool, just watch out for the magic cylinder
MattTGM and drain shield. How do you kill something with Infinite HP?
@@Sassaparilla INF attack
If they wanted to add more monsters to the theme there are between 7 or so lost letters to the English alphabet including the ampersand symbol which used to be tagged on at then end after Z and refererred to as "and, per se, And.". Maybe "Worm Ampersand" should be a second fusion monster for the archetype.
I just had a really strange idea: how about using the small worm engine (cataros, xex, yagan, king and nebula) with subterrors and/or Prediction princesses? they could somewhat mitigate the issues of worms while profiting from nebulas Effect. Has anyone allready tried this?
Sir Ernest The issue is that Prediction Princesses could just be used in Shaddolls and actually be useful instead of being stuck in a cruddy archetype.
I really do love listening to you /feel/ for the poor little Ugly guy.
So, do we get a Cyber Dragon video after 5 through 10 come out?
We already have 2,3,4 and technically Cyber Dragon counts as 1.
would you do old good archetypes? gb, cb or dheros?
Noticed that Falco's effect isn't once per turn and also doesn't affect other Falcos on the field... Hypothetically, you could activate 'Worm' flip effects as much as you wanted per turn as long as you had 2 Falcos on the field.
3:00 What makes the effect even more worthless is that the stat boost doesn't count for damage calculations so Dimikles can still die to a monster between 1450-1650 while its 1700 defense position , source duel links.
What's the first song, aka the background music used in this video?
Worm xex, seriously how did Konami or 4kids not sensor this
Would you want it to be "Worm Xylophone" or something similar?
What's the name of the background audio used for this video.
Whats the music that you use when you are going through the cards?
You missed the opportunity to get a World of Warcraft meme in there with Worm Illidan. YOU WERE NOT PREPARED!!!
Hey a new thumbnail, guess rata doesn’t regret this video anymore.
Waiting for a collaboration with XundergroundmembersX, since they do a segment where they make fancy support for bad and forgotten archetypes, which can be combined with the Legacy of the Worthless
can someone tell me if the darkness achetype is good?
Don't know why I'm watching this
Haven't played the game in literly a decade
Very interesting review and yeah, the archetype needed a lot of work. Especially given their role in the metaplot as this huge, evil invasion that almost wiped out everyone.
Say, will you tackle Aliens in this series?
Aliens have had their use in the game as a competent archetype.
I've got a card idea that could massively improve the deck in several areas, its inspired by Dragonic Diagram. It's a field spell: gives all Light Reptiles 300 def and all non-Light Reptiles, lose 300 attack. The first time any flip-summoned Light Reptile monster would be destroyed, it is not destroyed. Once per turn, you can flip one face-up Light Reptile monster you control face-down and add 1 Light Reptile card from your deck to your hand.
Its first effect will help get over larger monsters or ensure flip effects of certain worm/reptile cards would go off as intended (like worm solid) and helping your bosses contend with other high attack monsters. Its second effect gives the deck much needed protection and gives your flipped monsters the chance to be used as tribute fodder or something next turn. Its third effect increases the consistency of the deck and your ability to get off flip effects.
Oh yeah, and if they wanna go the fusion route, they could add a spell card (Let's call it Worm Assimilation) that let's you fusion summon a Light Reptile (or whatever else that would make it archetype specific) from the extra deck by banishing any monsters from your hand, field, or graveyard as fusion material, the monsters banished are considered Reptile-Type "Worm" monsters. Or maybe, fusion summon 1 Reptile-Type monster from your extra deck by banishing cards, listed as fusion materials on that card, from your hand or deck.
What was the music playing in the background?
In my theory, Jetelikpse probably is supposed to be [jet-el-ik-say] because the P is probably silent like pseudo or pterodactyl
Did he remade the miniature of the video?
