I've been shamelessly spamming Dragonmaids because cute anime dragon girls are my jam and I am not ashamed to say it. LOL (For real though, I've been looking for a non Brand or Swordsoul deck.)
I watched some guy completely decimate with a Timelord deck. I had never seen them before, but the plays were incredible. Only down side was, he didn't talk so I couldn't really follow what was going on. I'd love to see something like that if you want ideas. Seems a little off the beaten path too.
Silent swordsman archetype has a special place in my heart. Doesn't matter if they arent the best, they still cool af and the reason I picked yugioh back up. ♡
@@madzhacker1989 same here, though my favorite version of it is something i like to call "silent shieldsman". Set SS level 3, set spiked chain with shield, activate silent sword slash from the hand on their turn, and watch as they attack into a 5500 def wall. 😀
If you like Silent Swordsman I would def check out @DarkArmedDuelist, he has a really cool Phantom Knight / Silent Swordsman deck list that is really fun in Master Duel
There's something really awesome about making a deck as creative and unique as this. Where it doesn't rely on an archtype alone, but a really cool theme. That's what I really enjoy about Yugioh 👌
Yo you're the first comment I saw, I run a Monarch deck and I've been having trouble going against immortal decks like immortal blue eyes and immortal dark magician, I was wondering if I should change to a Feind deck because its more viable
@@arandompringlescan1518 you just need a consistent strategy that can destroy a Spell or Trap card, maybe you could use a Trap card called, "Bad Aim" or the Spell cards, "Lightning Storm/Harpies Feather Duster." I'm not sure what all of the Monarch's strengths are, but if you like em keep finding ways to make it a tough deck then I'm sure you'll figure it out
My favorite card is always gonna be Celtic Guardian. Basic pick I know, but I’ve loved it since the first time I saw it in the anime, and I got it in my first set of packs as a kid so it’s got a double nostalgia factor. My favorite full set though has gotta be Toons, Yugi boooy.
Gotta love the OGs, man. I myself prefer Gaia the fierce knight. It's got great support, and its fusion, Gaia the Magical Knight of Dragons, is a huge beatstick that can defend itself. Or, since I don't have the gaia fusion in my collection, I prefer dark paladin. Big beatstick that gets bigger and bigger the more dragons in your graveyard or on the field. Equip it with red eyes black dragon sword to take advantage of the dragons in your opponents graveyard while buffing yourself (since rebd sword is of the dragon attribute). And I personally use tyrant burst dragon to boost it more and give it 3 attacks per battle phase. Or, if I can't get tyrant, I'll use rocket hermos cannon. Gives only 2 attacks and no attack buffs, but it's attacks deal piercing battle damage. Huge if you can buff up the Dark Paladin with a bunch of dragon cards
Its not too obscure but my favorite card has got to be Summoned Skull. I remember that the artwork just really stood out to me as a kid and even now it just looks so good, it always just holds a place in my heart. I really wish we would get some support for it like we did dark magician. Thanks for the vid and the sick plays seerax!
They have a bit of support cards but not very good ones. They need to make broken support cards and remake the cards with broken effects 🤣. Maybe not broken but at least pretty darn good
Isn't summoned skull an arch fiend card maybe seereax deck can guide you closer to a nice deck but my suggestion would be general dark support or engines that synergize with Lv 6s and 8s or make use of the discard or tribute summon.
The skull is STILL a decent card today. and its given so much versitality like that red eyed varient gemini version. once you summon it the second time it has an in built raigeki every turn. give it a power of the guardian or something to make it get both atk and decrease the chance of easy destruction on it. and you have a way of screwing up ALOT of deck types. all the special summoning in the world won't help against a field clearing move.
Helpoemer is my all time favorite weird card because of how it can discard a card effect from gy and when Marik uses it in Battle City it felt weird but powerful at the time.
other than Obelisk, i've always liked Comic hand, but monsterwise, Black luster soldier and his Toon counter part are always gonna be my favorite looking cards.
I'll be honest, I have absolutely no fucking clue what's going on since I never got into Yu-Gi-Oh, but your energy and confidence makes videos like this extremely entertainingg.
Monarchs, their design is both simplistic and cool at the same time, their archetype builds amazing synergy on tributing cards that most other decks can’t compete with. Not to mention, should you let a monarch get off its effects you might not have a chance to beat it.
I'm a huge fan of folklore and mythology, so cards like the Ogdoadic or even the Mayakashi (Mostly Yoko the Graceful Mayakashi) are archetypes that I'm drawn to. In fact, you faced one of my favorite cards in this video, Reptilianne Melusine's part of my Ogdoadic Reptilianne deck.
Same reason why I really like noble Knights with them being based off of Arthurian legend and infernobles being based off of the 12 paladins of Charlemagne
The arcana knights have always held a place in my heart i dont know why but ive always loved them and then when joker's knight came out it quickly became my favorite card purely for its card art. Just something about that deck speaks to me
Archfiends are indeed very cool! My entire channel is dedicated to improving them, and I also recently wrote an entire primer on how to play them. Your build looks somewhat inspired by the Dark Spirit / Empress loop that I popularised which is great to see! Easily one of my favourite ways to play them
I wished there were more archfiend cards other than summon skull reskins. Love the archetype hell more cards would be great like an talowar equip card or extra deck version of empress or lord
Ironically, my fave is the Meklord Archetype. Having a card dubbed as “synchro killers” was really cool to me and the anime made me love them more. Eventhough they ain’t that great irl, it’s still one of my faves.
I actually really like Ruddy Rose Dragon and the Rose Dragons overall. I like to use them in a plant based deck just as a very loose reference to "Duelist of the Roses" even in just name alone lol. Really enjoyed seeing my brothers play that on the PS2 all the time and the music is still fire
My personal favorites are a bit out there, but they are the “Pyramid of Light” setup from the Yu-Gi-Oh movie. “Pyramid of Light” with the Sphinx cards are by far my favorite cards hands down. I still have all my limited edition versions of all the cards they gave away with watching the movie. I watched the movie so much in theatres when it came out that I have many copies of all the cards they gave out lol.
Favorite card would probably be Yubel, loved their arc in the anime and they were the last truly eldritch horror type monster in the show imo. Outside of the anime though it’s hard, but probably Treeborn frog or Vampire Grimson.
Try tribute summoning Yubel with Hardened Armed Dragon. HAD can Special itself by discarding a Lv 8 or higher and anything tribute summoned using HAD is immune to destruction effects... including their own. Tribute-free and destruction-free Yubel anyone?
I actually play Archfiend emperor in my RDA deck. I use that limited lvl 4 dark to send heiress to the GY to draw emperor for my next turn so I can pop a card next turn.
Old school Archfiends and Destiny Heroes were my first real decks back in high school in like 2012 lol so I have a lot of attachment to them. I used to summon Summoned Skull, double summon into Great Maju Garzett to make a 5000 beat stick that terrified my opponents
Yubel. I love the three card arts. And I’ve always seen her as a “if you’re gonna hit me, im gonna hit you back harder”. Unchained, gimmick puppets, live twins, and sacred beasts are also some of my faves
deskbots. and i don't mean the super optimized combo for vfg or an infinitrack deck with a side of deskbots; just deskbots. maybe a few gizmek cards, but that's mostly just for searchers like uka. big beat sticks.
Dunno if it's considered "weird" enough but my favorite card is The Weather Painter Rainbow. The card art is beautiful and unique, the effect is very strong, and it's the card that made me realize the Weather Painter archetype exists which is now my favorite deck. And the only one I have built IRL. They're super unique and really strong once they get rolling.
Rainbow Dragon has always been my favorite card. It’s a shame it has zero protection and a terrible deck type. Also, the nordic gods, silent magician. But if we’re talking playable cards I’d say Thunder Dragon Titan. A beast of a boss monster.
Eldlich the Golden Lord, he was the first archetype to ever get me hooked without having any show nostalgia or relying on my general non-franchise specific love of dragons. Been trying to make him work by mixing in some some other zombies including (most importantly) some from the Shiranui archetype so the deck maintains some functionality if he is banished and I have a chance to unbanish him using Shiranui Samuraisaga. Its not really tournament ready, but I have managed to get a few over on players running some high tier decks.
Buster Blader, always liked that card since it's first appearance in the anime and years later learning the lore surrounding him only solidified that for me. Close second would be Light and Darkness Dragon, love the half dark, half light appearance of it and do intend to one day figure out a dragon deck which can summon him fairly consistently.
I currently have a new appreciation of the Thunder Dragon cards, since my new pet deck is Chaos Thunder Dragons (with some Metaphys sprinkled in for fun). My old favs were the Vampire cards, it was my first structure deck, although I haven’t actually tried the new Vampire Archetype.
I love King of the Skull Servant. I ran him in old decks too honestly, before Grass is Greener and all that. I just thought he was so cool and was an easy big beatstick if I played cards that discard my bricks (Raigeki Break is one I recall fondly).
Now I play him with Eldlich in a 60 Card Deck. Which is pretty fun, not a lot of negates but a decent amount of protection and coming back from the grave over and over again.
One of my favorite cards in the game is the immortal phoenix gearfired, the design of it just looks so cool to me and introduced me to one of my favorite architypes infernobles
i love these type of video of people trying to improve forgotten decks or just dead archtype and try to make it work in a modern setting as always banger vid
I'm like weeks late to the video, favorite card's beat, bladesman fur hire. You'd think it's a beast-warrior with a name like that, but surprisingly it's just a warrior. It's one of the cards of the archetype that lets you pull for one of the higher level monsters, Rafale, which has a quick effect of discarding a card in the archetype to negate an effect, and a special summon effect that lets you excavate depending on how many fur hires of a different name are on the field.
I made a fun deck in Duel Links a while back, and fell in love with a card. It's a pure troll deck, and the monster isn't amazing, but it's hilarious if you can get it to work. I made it to Gold rank in Links with the troll deck. Cat Ear Tribe. Make a deck that constantly decreases the attack of your opponent's monsters or increase yours. Protection for the little cats, and cards to force the enemy to attack. You now have a deck that can't lose to battle unless the continuously remove the tribe or the cards that change the ATK. Cat Ear Tribe's effect: If this card is targeted by an attack, the opponent's monster's original ATK becomes 200. Even a +-100 will make your tribe immune to battle with anything that isn't boosted by 200 or more. Add Pumprincess and, a few turns later, you're almost untouchable by battle. It's not a fast deck, but it's fun to mess with people. I haven't had luck making the deck in Master Duel as of yet.
My favorite yugioh card is "Cyber-tech Alligator" because I used to play back in the day with my friends back during playground days. I liked its card art more than summoned skull and it was one tribute as well so I would play it over summoned skull usually. I won so many duels using it in my childhood and I fell in love with the card. I don't think it will ever get any modern support as it was kind of a one-off vanilla and no one else really talks about it.
I absolutely love the volcanic cards. Volcanic doomfire is so cool and at the time of release pretty good. I just wish it wasn't the smallest archetype in the game
Black Skull Dragon has always been my fav card, don't know why but I fell in love with it the moment I laid eyes on it's low poly model in Forbidden Memories. Fav cards I actually play, though, are Blackwings.
Revendread Slayer archetype, love everything about it, zombies, resident evil/ spawn inspiration, art style, the fact that it's a ritual deck and is quite viable. I'm such a sucker for the vendread archetype for like no reason I think they're amazing! I also like did king Siegfried, and flame wingman
honestly, Closed Forest. A field spell no one really uses but for it's time it's effects were pretty powerful. Locking out your opponent's field spell zone and giving all your Beast type monsters 100 ATK for every monster in your GY was really fun to combo
Dark Master - Zorc. I loved building decks around his dumb gimmick that if you roll a die you either clear a field of monsters that can be affected by said destruction, only destroy one of them, or wipe your own field of monsters. Genuinely amazing.
My favorite card is Darklord Desire. It was a really cool artwork card I had growing up and was one of my best cards in my first decent custom deck I built. A Fairy Themed Deck about gaining a ton of LP to use strong abilities with the Boss Monster being Ra. Darklord Desire was always there for me when I needed it or it’s ability to just remove off the field. Plus he introduced me to probably one of my favorite Archetypes in the game, Darklords. Though being older and looking back at him I can definitely say he might be one of the weakest Darklord Monsters unfortunately but he holds a special place in my heart. I still have that Fairy Ra Deck with him in it that I play with my siblings and friends every now and than. Bonus Monster: Marshmellon was my first ever Yu-Gi-Oh Card alongside Reborn Zombie. Though I really liked the Marshmallow more than the terrible zombie.
I haven’t played much, but of what i have played my favorite cards are the magical musketeers! They can be a complete shutdown if you let them, and there’s so many options
In general, my favorite cards are dark magicians because they're the only ones that I can't hang against. But overall, my single favorite card is probably "red eyes undead dragon" I think the name is because, when used correctly, you can play using both graveyards for backup and it can be brought back from any location pretty easily.
I'm the biggest fan of the Darklord archetype. My favorite card in that deck has to be Darklord Nastan! That card and deck were one of the first I truly built. I even entered a few local tournaments with that deck. Only won once, but it gave me a lot of good memories.
I mean red eyes haven't ever been meta relevant but i always thought it was cooler than blue eyes as a kid frightfur is like 3 cards away from being meta relevant and it's really fun the exodia archetype is an interesting concept with like a grass exodia deck where your boss monster gets bigger when exodia peices in the grave yard and helps you draw them out of the grave along with other spells and traps that return them to hand or move them to the grave it just came out to late to be relevant at all
I know it's not great as a card, but I've always loved Millennium Shield. I'd never use it in a duel, but I love it all the same lol As for cards I love that I actually duel with, I love the Superheavy Samurais and more recently, the Ultra Athletes. When I got into Duel Links last year... or rather back into it, after I played it on release and got bored and stopped playing for a few years... I'd never even heard of Superheavy Samurais, but when I duelled against Gong Strong (whom I thought was a rather silly character) and seeing them played, it reminded me of another favoured card of mine, the Total Defence Shogun. The ability to attack while in defence mode always seemed like a great strategy, so to find an archetype based around this concept that seems so much different to the rest of the game, I instantly fell in love with them. As for Ultra Athletes, since I only play Duel Links, I've only played with about 2/3s of the cards, but I love how powerful and trickful they can be to play. Constantly buffing them with Stadium, switching them in and out every turn, as well as clearing all monsters on the field with Turnover Tactics (especially useful if your opponent only has monsters from the Extra Deck on the field)... They're extremely fun to use, and easy to confuse the opponents with, as most people rarely give the archetype a second look, and thus don't know the tactics of the cards. I'll never be a top-tier player, as I play to enjoy the game rather than win every single time with BS decks... but I don't care. I love the game, and enjoy myself whether I win or lose ❤ (FYI: When I say "BS decks", I am... specifically... talking about the likes of Galaxy-Eyes and Harpie decks lol)
Snowdust Dragon. Mostly due to the fact that my personal favorite deck(s) at the moment is a deck revolving around Ice Counters and locking down using Snowdust Dragon and Snowdust Giant; and a deck where it revolves around drawing your entire deck with Heart of the Underdog and then using Infinite Cards to hold all of em and make a busted Slifer. Stack that Localized tornado in case you don't get infinite cards off the draw (all you do is run HotU, Localized, and Infinite Cards) you can reset your entire deck. In other words Snow or Self Kill, but snow is definitely my favorite atm.
My first ultra I ever pulled from a pack was the OG Barrel Dragon, so I'm always attached to that, but I think my favorite archetype is Thunder Dragons still.
The card I used the most in my deck building way back when was Wingweaver. I liked that with dragons a lot. One of my favorites was Enchantment Javelin.
Silent Swordsman and Cubics have always been some of my favorites. Both are so fun and have such interesting support and the art on both card archetypes is amazing
I absolutely brought terror to the hearts of my neighborhood children with my fiend deck. In an alternate universe I said this out loud and got arrested.
My man, can I hit you with some old lore from back in the boomer days? Before Yugioh popped off here in the states (2001-2002 ish) and before Chaos our strongest decks were Vampire Lord and in fact Demon decks and, yes, Dark Necrofear was the boss monster. Just a little fyi. Anyway as far as my favorite card, I don't know if you'll call it weird but definitely Vampire Lord. Back then it was hard to get around him without the staples. Keep doing what you do and stay blessed.
The phantom knights were so cool to me as a kid and espically Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon i love running the deck i made for them and it kinda cooks the meta decks, im so happy to see my fav can cook.
You actually dueled my favourite card. Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon (and its archetype) were the first things I ever interacted with in YGO, through the old DevPro emulator, as a friend to get me into the game. Still my favourite card now, and it was even the first deck I built in MD.
Pitch Black Warwolf, i loved it ever since i was a kid playing tagforce 1. Its art is amazing, his effect is just Jinzo, its the reason i play the most crazy rouge decks.
Without a doubt the new cards are super cool. As a young boy I've always liked the Black Luster Soldier and Phoenix Gearfried, and when master duel was released, I knew I had to start playing. All these new summons are new to me lol GG boys. Happy 1 year of master duel (don't forget to sign in daily for the rewards)
My favorite monster has got to be Goyo Emperor. Just the idea of yoinking your opponents monsters has always been funny to me, and I think it'd be really neat to see a viable deck based on it.
I have fallen in love with Mirror Force Dragon and all of the other fusions that require the traps to he summoned with The Fang of Critias. I would love to see you play the deck
My favourite card has to be "Tyrano infinity", simply because it could easily be the strongest card and the weakest card back in the day depending when it came out of your deck, plus I'm a mad fan of dinos. Nowadays, not the biggest fan bit still sometimes makes one to bring out a 20000 attack dino god
Archfiends have always held a special place in my heart, specifically Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend. It's quite powerful and Jack Atlas is one of my favourite characters from the anime.
I say Guardian Eatos since its more playable but hands down favorite. Archlord Zerato. Literally a "D.D Fairy" Deck that was built around the DD's that were around removal and Ancient Sanctuary
My favorite card is probably Gearfreid the Iron Knight. Joey’s duel against Marin really stuck with me as a kid and the fact that all had to do was play that card and he could have beaten him made the card my favorite card
My favourite card is the "Last Warrior from another Planet". he was part of my very first booster pack and also a part of my fusion deck until they banned Metamorphosis
uuuhhh I need a quick clarification on like 2 cards i think are majorly OPed. not in the sense you cannot beat them but that they have some REALLY nice effects. Dark Cavalry "Dark Magician" + 1 Warrior monster Gains 100 ATK for each Spell/Trap on the field and in the GYs. If this card attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing battle damage. When a card or effect is activated that targets a card on the field (Quick Effect): You can discard 1 card; negate the activation, and if you do, destroy it. Mirage Knight This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by the effect of "Dark Flare Knight". When this card battles another monster, during damage calculation increase the ATK of this card by the original ATK of the opponent's monster. During the End Phase after this card was involved in battle, remove this card from play. Tell me I am misreading dark cavalry somehow and its effect for discard negation can only be used once a turn? Or the fact that if you use a card that halts banishments you can basically keep mirage knight on the field INDEFINITELY??? Dark cavalry gets 100 atk for EVERY spell and trap on the field AND in both graveyards. consider most people use a balance of 5-10 traps and 10-15 spells. thats a grand total of 4000+ atk for cavalry's already impressive 2800. Plus also piercing and a negation/s I know of ATLEAST 1 card that stops players from banishing FULL STOP. meaning if you cannot banish does that halt mirages end turn removal? if so, its EFFECT does not say its attack is REDUCED TO ITS ORIGINAL amount at the end phase. are you effectively getting a free infinitely growing atk monster? add in something like power of the guardian to reduce risks of destruction (and remember banishing is blocked) your getting a damn scary monster.
Dark Necrofear has always been my favorite card/monster ever since I saw her in the anime, but I also love the Ghostrick archetype cause they're adorable
Favorite card is Koumori Dragon. Don’t even know why but his art has always just got me. That and the OG holographic Blue Eyes White dragon card like the one Kaiba has.
Red-Eyes Black Dragon. I love Red-Eyes ever since the first Yu-Gi-Oh series, and love dragons, and the way they created Red-Eyes it's been my #1 dragon in the entire world of Yu-Gi-Oh.
My favorite card of all time is the White Horned Dragon. It’s a 2200 ATK level 6 Dark Dragon monster that banishes up to 5 spells in the opponents Graveyard in order to gain attack, 300 for every spell. It was the first card I ever got, and the story is actually kinda funny. I was in kindergarten and this kid who was mean to me brought all of his Yugioh cards one day to show them off. I was interested in the cards and this kid wanted to pull a weird kind of prank on me. He did a game where he had put all of his cards face down on his desk, and I had to guess which one was his best card, The Blue Eyes White Dragon. He said I could keep the card if I guessed it right, but if it was wrong, I wouldn’t get a card. I guessed and instead of uncovering Blue Eyes, I uncovered the White Horned Dragon. As a kid, I didn’t know that the card was different, so I got happy. He got pissed that I disrespected Blue Eyes, so he crumpled up the card, calling it a stupid and weak card. I took it, uncrumpled it, and decided to make a deck with the card. I learned to play Yugioh just to spite that guy, and make him pay for making his partner feel worthless (I was really into Pokémon back then, still am but back then Ash Ketchum was my hero) Our duel came down to his Blue Eyes against my White Horned, and with 5 spells in his grave, I was able to banish them in order to get my White Horned Dragon to 3700 ATK, which is higher than Blue Eyes’ 3000 ATK, which also won me the duel in the end. I have that card, (still in its “PSA 11” condition) framed in my room. I also have another, not crunchy, copy of the card that I still use in locals today, and I kinda some day want to win a YCS or a Locals with that card some day, just gotta do some push-ups and keep training, ya know? Either way, that’s my little favorite card story. Hope it gives y’all a laugh! We need Deion to get 1 Milli subs, he deserves it.
Tyrant dragon was my favorite card. Ironically it was featured in a lot of dragon archetype cards even in the olden days , but it never had an archetype of its own... It was also heavily underutilized by Rex, imo. I wish they'd bring an archetype for it or a new updatef version of it, it may make me try to muddle my way through modern day YGO again.
Love hearing you guys’ favorite cards! So many cool forgotten cards that don’t see play.
Are you gonna continue the pokemon soul link series?
I don’t know any good card decks but can you tell me how good the exosister deck because I made it a while ago but I can’t tell if it’s good or not
Not much of 1 card but you should try a six samurai deck
I've been shamelessly spamming Dragonmaids because cute anime dragon girls are my jam and I am not ashamed to say it. LOL (For real though, I've been looking for a non Brand or Swordsoul deck.)
I watched some guy completely decimate with a Timelord deck. I had never seen them before, but the plays were incredible. Only down side was, he didn't talk so I couldn't really follow what was going on. I'd love to see something like that if you want ideas. Seems a little off the beaten path too.
Silent swordsman archetype has a special place in my heart. Doesn't matter if they arent the best, they still cool af and the reason I picked yugioh back up. ♡
It’s silent magician for me, I think the idea of her is so cool
Same here buddy 👍
Silent swordsman is my favorite deck I run it all the time.
@@madzhacker1989 same here, though my favorite version of it is something i like to call "silent shieldsman". Set SS level 3, set spiked chain with shield, activate silent sword slash from the hand on their turn, and watch as they attack into a 5500 def wall. 😀
If you like Silent Swordsman I would def check out @DarkArmedDuelist, he has a really cool Phantom Knight / Silent Swordsman deck list that is really fun in Master Duel
There's something really awesome about making a deck as creative and unique as this. Where it doesn't rely on an archtype alone, but a really cool theme. That's what I really enjoy about Yugioh 👌
Yo you're the first comment I saw, I run a Monarch deck and I've been having trouble going against immortal decks like immortal blue eyes and immortal dark magician, I was wondering if I should change to a Feind deck because its more viable
@@arandompringlescan1518 you just need a consistent strategy that can destroy a Spell or Trap card, maybe you could use a Trap card called, "Bad Aim" or the Spell cards, "Lightning Storm/Harpies Feather Duster."

Gotta love the OGs, man. I myself prefer Gaia the fierce knight. It's got great support, and its fusion, Gaia the Magical Knight of Dragons, is a huge beatstick that can defend itself. Or, since I don't have the gaia fusion in my collection, I prefer dark paladin. Big beatstick that gets bigger and bigger the more dragons in your graveyard or on the field. Equip it with red eyes black dragon sword to take advantage of the dragons in your opponents graveyard while buffing yourself (since rebd sword is of the dragon attribute). And I personally use tyrant burst dragon to boost it more and give it 3 attacks per battle phase. Or, if I can't get tyrant, I'll use rocket hermos cannon. Gives only 2 attacks and no attack buffs, but it's attacks deal piercing battle damage. Huge if you can buff up the Dark Paladin with a bunch of dragon cards
Don’t feel bad. I love Koumori Dragon for… whatever reason!!! It’s my favorite monster card
Its not too obscure but my favorite card has got to be Summoned Skull. I remember that the artwork just really stood out to me as a kid and even now it just looks so good, it always just holds a place in my heart. I really wish we would get some support for it like we did dark magician. Thanks for the vid and the sick plays seerax!
They have a bit of support cards but not very good ones. They need to make broken support cards and remake the cards with broken effects 🤣. Maybe not broken but at least pretty darn good
Its funny, im currently trying to build a Summoned skull-archfiend deck.
Yep this the one. And Black Skull Dragon
Isn't summoned skull an arch fiend card maybe seereax deck can guide you closer to a nice deck but my suggestion would be general dark support or engines that synergize with Lv 6s and 8s or make use of the discard or tribute summon.
The skull is STILL a decent card today. and its given so much versitality like that red eyed varient gemini version. once you summon it the second time it has an in built raigeki every turn. give it a power of the guardian or something to make it get both atk and decrease the chance of easy destruction on it. and you have a way of screwing up ALOT of deck types. all the special summoning in the world won't help against a field clearing move.
Helpoemer is my all time favorite weird card because of how it can discard a card effect from gy and when Marik uses it in Battle City it felt weird but powerful at the time.
Love that lil creepy idiot too!
other than Obelisk, i've always liked Comic hand, but monsterwise, Black luster soldier and his Toon counter part are always gonna be my favorite looking cards.
Love the toons
Elemental heros will always be my favorite. The ability to fusion summon all these unique monsters with cool abilities was always so cool.
And then end on nibiru token or DPE pass 💀
I'll be honest, I have absolutely no fucking clue what's going on since I never got into Yu-Gi-Oh, but your energy and confidence makes videos like this extremely entertainingg.
Monarchs, their design is both simplistic and cool at the same time, their archetype builds amazing synergy on tributing cards that most other decks can’t compete with. Not to mention, should you let a monarch get off its effects you might not have a chance to beat it.
The Monarchs are absolutely awesome, my favorite is Caius the shadow monarch
I'm a huge fan of folklore and mythology, so cards like the Ogdoadic or even the Mayakashi (Mostly Yoko the Graceful Mayakashi) are archetypes that I'm drawn to. In fact, you faced one of my favorite cards in this video, Reptilianne Melusine's part of my Ogdoadic Reptilianne deck.
Same reason why I really like noble Knights with them being based off of Arthurian legend and infernobles being based off of the 12 paladins of Charlemagne
The arcana knights have always held a place in my heart i dont know why but ive always loved them and then when joker's knight came out it quickly became my favorite card purely for its card art. Just something about that deck speaks to me
I feel that idk why but they just click with me.
Arcana Knight is very awesome gotta admit
I’ve always had a soft spot for Silent swordsman lvl 7. The silent swordsman were the first cards I built a deck around as a kid
Archfiends are indeed very cool! My entire channel is dedicated to improving them, and I also recently wrote an entire primer on how to play them.
Your build looks somewhat inspired by the Dark Spirit / Empress loop that I popularised which is great to see! Easily one of my favourite ways to play them
Lmao funny seeing you here.
Hey you made me build archfiends in master duel
♥
I wished there were more archfiend cards other than summon skull reskins. Love the archetype hell more cards would be great like an talowar equip card or extra deck version of empress or lord
No new videos 😢? I have missed your cool videos dude
Ironically, my fave is the Meklord Archetype. Having a card dubbed as “synchro killers” was really cool to me and the anime made me love them more. Eventhough they ain’t that great irl, it’s still one of my faves.
I love seeing these decks that aren't super meta.
And I think my favorite card is Time Wizard, though my primary deck is Trains.
The gladiator beast is really my favorite, been trying to improve it more by adding some engines.
I actually really like Ruddy Rose Dragon and the Rose Dragons overall. I like to use them in a plant based deck just as a very loose reference to "Duelist of the Roses" even in just name alone lol. Really enjoyed seeing my brothers play that on the PS2 all the time and the music is still fire
My personal favorites are a bit out there, but they are the “Pyramid of Light” setup from the Yu-Gi-Oh movie. “Pyramid of Light” with the Sphinx cards are by far my favorite cards hands down. I still have all my limited edition versions of all the cards they gave away with watching the movie. I watched the movie so much in theatres when it came out that I have many copies of all the cards they gave out lol.
My favorite card is kind of a forgotten one, but it's called Exarion Universe. His card just looks so colorful so it appealed greatly to me.
Lvl 4 with great stats... Respect
And banned in the Classic Goat Format. Mad Respect. It depends on your Region bc that was a Modern Day Ban lol
Favorite card would probably be Yubel, loved their arc in the anime and they were the last truly eldritch horror type monster in the show imo. Outside of the anime though it’s hard, but probably Treeborn frog or Vampire Grimson.
Try tribute summoning Yubel with Hardened Armed Dragon. HAD can Special itself by discarding a Lv 8 or higher and anything tribute summoned using HAD is immune to destruction effects... including their own.
Tribute-free and destruction-free Yubel anyone?
Don’t know why… but I actually always liked the spell card called “Night Beam”.
That card is one of the banes of my existence on Duel Links, but it IS a good card lol
I actually play Archfiend emperor in my RDA deck. I use that limited lvl 4 dark to send heiress to the GY to draw emperor for my next turn so I can pop a card next turn.
Old school Archfiends and Destiny Heroes were my first real decks back in high school in like 2012 lol so I have a lot of attachment to them. I used to summon Summoned Skull, double summon into Great Maju Garzett to make a 5000 beat stick that terrified my opponents
Hold up why was this VIDEO so HYPE LOL. Jeez I respect the recipe that wasn’t half bad!
@@NotsoNaisu I didnt know how hype did it go
You also use RDA? Respect
RDA players rise up lmao
Yubel. I love the three card arts. And I’ve always seen her as a “if you’re gonna hit me, im gonna hit you back harder”. Unchained, gimmick puppets, live twins, and sacred beasts are also some of my faves
deskbots. and i don't mean the super optimized combo for vfg or an infinitrack deck with a side of deskbots; just deskbots. maybe a few gizmek cards, but that's mostly just for searchers like uka. big beat sticks.
Dunno if it's considered "weird" enough but my favorite card is The Weather Painter Rainbow. The card art is beautiful and unique, the effect is very strong, and it's the card that made me realize the Weather Painter archetype exists which is now my favorite deck. And the only one I have built IRL. They're super unique and really strong once they get rolling.
Rainbow Dragon has always been my favorite card. It’s a shame it has zero protection and a terrible deck type. Also, the nordic gods, silent magician. But if we’re talking playable cards I’d say Thunder Dragon Titan. A beast of a boss monster.
I'm gonna be honest, Doomkaiser Dragon is a very big favorite of mine and I really wish there was an archetype/retrain for it.
It’s called zombies
Deskbot 003. First yugioh card I ever pulled, and I still love deskbots to this day
Eldlich the Golden Lord, he was the first archetype to ever get me hooked without having any show nostalgia or relying on my general non-franchise specific love of dragons. Been trying to make him work by mixing in some some other zombies including (most importantly) some from the Shiranui archetype so the deck maintains some functionality if he is banished and I have a chance to unbanish him using Shiranui Samuraisaga. Its not really tournament ready, but I have managed to get a few over on players running some high tier decks.
Buster Blader, always liked that card since it's first appearance in the anime and years later learning the lore surrounding him only solidified that for me. Close second would be Light and Darkness Dragon, love the half dark, half light appearance of it and do intend to one day figure out a dragon deck which can summon him fairly consistently.
Light and darkness dragon is badass! easy top 10 for me
It's not an old card, but I love the Tindangle archetype. Their fiends look really obscure and such but the art is super dope.
They're based on the hounds of tindalos by H.P Lovecraft
I’ve always loved Zushin the Sleeping Giant because of how hard he is to bring out.
Love seeing Deion playing Archfiends. Would definitely love to see more duels with the demons. 🔥
I love Rashef the dark being and Shinto King of a Higher Plane.
I love the odd eyes pendulum dragon. I like the design and both of it's effects are pretty neat.
I absolutely love Odd-eyes, favorite protagonist ace monster.
I currently have a new appreciation of the Thunder Dragon cards, since my new pet deck is Chaos Thunder Dragons (with some Metaphys sprinkled in for fun). My old favs were the Vampire cards, it was my first structure deck, although I haven’t actually tried the new Vampire Archetype.
The First Darklord card is actually looking sick and it’s effects also it’s kinda my favorite.
That persona 5 music at the end of the first duel was perfect
I love Arcana Force XXI The World. It is not easy to set up but when it works and it skips your opponet's turn, its so damn ephoric.
I love King of the Skull Servant. I ran him in old decks too honestly, before Grass is Greener and all that. I just thought he was so cool and was an easy big beatstick if I played cards that discard my bricks (Raigeki Break is one I recall fondly).
Now I play him with Eldlich in a 60 Card Deck. Which is pretty fun, not a lot of negates but a decent amount of protection and coming back from the grave over and over again.
One of my favorite cards in the game is the immortal phoenix gearfired, the design of it just looks so cool to me and introduced me to one of my favorite architypes infernobles
i love these type of video of people trying to improve forgotten decks or just dead archtype and try to make it work in a modern setting as always banger vid
I'm like weeks late to the video, favorite card's beat, bladesman fur hire. You'd think it's a beast-warrior with a name like that, but surprisingly it's just a warrior. It's one of the cards of the archetype that lets you pull for one of the higher level monsters, Rafale, which has a quick effect of discarding a card in the archetype to negate an effect, and a special summon effect that lets you excavate depending on how many fur hires of a different name are on the field.
I made a fun deck in Duel Links a while back, and fell in love with a card. It's a pure troll deck, and the monster isn't amazing, but it's hilarious if you can get it to work. I made it to Gold rank in Links with the troll deck.
Cat Ear Tribe. Make a deck that constantly decreases the attack of your opponent's monsters or increase yours. Protection for the little cats, and cards to force the enemy to attack. You now have a deck that can't lose to battle unless the continuously remove the tribe or the cards that change the ATK.
Cat Ear Tribe's effect: If this card is targeted by an attack, the opponent's monster's original ATK becomes 200.
Even a +-100 will make your tribe immune to battle with anything that isn't boosted by 200 or more. Add Pumprincess and, a few turns later, you're almost untouchable by battle.
It's not a fast deck, but it's fun to mess with people. I haven't had luck making the deck in Master Duel as of yet.
My favorite yugioh card is "Cyber-tech Alligator" because I used to play back in the day with my friends back during playground days. I liked its card art more than summoned skull and it was one tribute as well so I would play it over summoned skull usually. I won so many duels using it in my childhood and I fell in love with the card. I don't think it will ever get any modern support as it was kind of a one-off vanilla and no one else really talks about it.
I absolutely love the volcanic cards. Volcanic doomfire is so cool and at the time of release pretty good. I just wish it wasn't the smallest archetype in the game
Black Skull Dragon has always been my fav card, don't know why but I fell in love with it the moment I laid eyes on it's low poly model in Forbidden Memories.
Fav cards I actually play, though, are Blackwings.
Revendread Slayer archetype, love everything about it, zombies, resident evil/ spawn inspiration, art style, the fact that it's a ritual deck and is quite viable. I'm such a sucker for the vendread archetype for like no reason I think they're amazing!
I also like did king Siegfried, and flame wingman
honestly, Closed Forest. A field spell no one really uses but for it's time it's effects were pretty powerful. Locking out your opponent's field spell zone and giving all your Beast type monsters 100 ATK for every monster in your GY was really fun to combo
Dark Master - Zorc. I loved building decks around his dumb gimmick that if you roll a die you either clear a field of monsters that can be affected by said destruction, only destroy one of them, or wipe your own field of monsters. Genuinely amazing.
Pot of the Forbidden. Made an entire Morphing Jar flip deck just because of how cool it is. The artwork was fire and the effect was cool as hell.
My favorite card is Darklord Desire. It was a really cool artwork card I had growing up and was one of my best cards in my first decent custom deck I built. A Fairy Themed Deck about gaining a ton of LP to use strong abilities with the Boss Monster being Ra.
Darklord Desire was always there for me when I needed it or it’s ability to just remove off the field. Plus he introduced me to probably one of my favorite Archetypes in the game, Darklords.
Though being older and looking back at him I can definitely say he might be one of the weakest Darklord Monsters unfortunately but he holds a special place in my heart. I still have that Fairy Ra Deck with him in it that I play with my siblings and friends every now and than.
Bonus Monster: Marshmellon was my first ever Yu-Gi-Oh Card alongside Reborn Zombie. Though I really liked the Marshmallow more than the terrible zombie.
I haven’t played much, but of what i have played my favorite cards are the magical musketeers! They can be a complete shutdown if you let them, and there’s so many options
In general, my favorite cards are dark magicians because they're the only ones that I can't hang against. But overall, my single favorite card is probably "red eyes undead dragon" I think the name is because, when used correctly, you can play using both graveyards for backup and it can be brought back from any location pretty easily.
I'm the biggest fan of the Darklord archetype. My favorite card in that deck has to be Darklord Nastan! That card and deck were one of the first I truly built. I even entered a few local tournaments with that deck. Only won once, but it gave me a lot of good memories.
Blue eyes white dragon and flameveil guard are my favorite
I mean red eyes haven't ever been meta relevant but i always thought it was cooler than blue eyes as a kid frightfur is like 3 cards away from being meta relevant and it's really fun the exodia archetype is an interesting concept with like a grass exodia deck where your boss monster gets bigger when exodia peices in the grave yard and helps you draw them out of the grave along with other spells and traps that return them to hand or move them to the grave it just came out to late to be relevant at all
I know it's not great as a card, but I've always loved Millennium Shield. I'd never use it in a duel, but I love it all the same lol
As for cards I love that I actually duel with, I love the Superheavy Samurais and more recently, the Ultra Athletes.
When I got into Duel Links last year... or rather back into it, after I played it on release and got bored and stopped playing for a few years... I'd never even heard of Superheavy Samurais, but when I duelled against Gong Strong (whom I thought was a rather silly character) and seeing them played, it reminded me of another favoured card of mine, the Total Defence Shogun. The ability to attack while in defence mode always seemed like a great strategy, so to find an archetype based around this concept that seems so much different to the rest of the game, I instantly fell in love with them.
As for Ultra Athletes, since I only play Duel Links, I've only played with about 2/3s of the cards, but I love how powerful and trickful they can be to play. Constantly buffing them with Stadium, switching them in and out every turn, as well as clearing all monsters on the field with Turnover Tactics (especially useful if your opponent only has monsters from the Extra Deck on the field)... They're extremely fun to use, and easy to confuse the opponents with, as most people rarely give the archetype a second look, and thus don't know the tactics of the cards.
I'll never be a top-tier player, as I play to enjoy the game rather than win every single time with BS decks... but I don't care. I love the game, and enjoy myself whether I win or lose ❤
(FYI: When I say "BS decks", I am... specifically... talking about the likes of Galaxy-Eyes and Harpie decks lol)
Snowdust Dragon. Mostly due to the fact that my personal favorite deck(s) at the moment is a deck revolving around Ice Counters and locking down using Snowdust Dragon and Snowdust Giant; and a deck where it revolves around drawing your entire deck with Heart of the Underdog and then using Infinite Cards to hold all of em and make a busted Slifer. Stack that Localized tornado in case you don't get infinite cards off the draw (all you do is run HotU, Localized, and Infinite Cards) you can reset your entire deck. In other words Snow or Self Kill, but snow is definitely my favorite atm.
The cubic deck was always my favourite and your cubic videos really revived my love for them and yugioh in general. But besides that probably Gandora.
My first ultra I ever pulled from a pack was the OG Barrel Dragon, so I'm always attached to that, but I think my favorite archetype is Thunder Dragons still.
The card I used the most in my deck building way back when was Wingweaver. I liked that with dragons a lot. One of my favorites was Enchantment Javelin.
Silent Swordsman and Cubics have always been some of my favorites. Both are so fun and have such interesting support and the art on both card archetypes is amazing
Arch Fiend Emperor kinda reminds me of Urizen from DMC 5
My favourites to this date are still the Toon Cards. Back when toon kingdom first came out I mained toons.
I absolutely brought terror to the hearts of my neighborhood children with my fiend deck. In an alternate universe I said this out loud and got arrested.
I was surprised to see this video, I made a deck with this guy back in 2017 and remembered all about him when I pulled him recently in master duels
My man, can I hit you with some old lore from back in the boomer days? Before Yugioh popped off here in the states (2001-2002 ish) and before Chaos our strongest decks were Vampire Lord and in fact Demon decks and, yes, Dark Necrofear was the boss monster.
Just a little fyi. Anyway as far as my favorite card, I don't know if you'll call it weird but definitely Vampire Lord. Back then it was hard to get around him without the staples.
Keep doing what you do and stay blessed.
Suppression Pluto is hella sick. Also easily summonable in Archfiends, funnily enough.
The phantom knights were so cool to me as a kid and espically Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon i love running the deck i made for them and it kinda cooks the meta decks, im so happy to see my fav can cook.
I Appreciate the love for older cards cuz people would look down on me for playing old cards so im glad i ain't the only one
Strong wind dragon is one of my favorite cards.
You actually dueled my favourite card. Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon (and its archetype) were the first things I ever interacted with in YGO, through the old DevPro emulator, as a friend to get me into the game. Still my favourite card now, and it was even the first deck I built in MD.
Pitch Black Warwolf, i loved it ever since i was a kid playing tagforce 1. Its art is amazing, his effect is just Jinzo, its the reason i play the most crazy rouge decks.
Without a doubt the new cards are super cool. As a young boy I've always liked the Black Luster Soldier and Phoenix Gearfried, and when master duel was released, I knew I had to start playing.
All these new summons are new to me lol GG boys. Happy 1 year of master duel (don't forget to sign in daily for the rewards)
My favorite monster has got to be Goyo Emperor. Just the idea of yoinking your opponents monsters has always been funny to me, and I think it'd be really neat to see a viable deck based on it.
Gaia the Fierce Knight! Yugi's number three guy. Deserved better. Should've been Tristan's ace!
Horus is one of my favorites. Galaxy Eyes make up my new favorite after getting into MD around the start of this past year
I have fallen in love with Mirror Force Dragon and all of the other fusions that require the traps to he summoned with The Fang of Critias. I would love to see you play the deck
My favourite card has to be "Tyrano infinity", simply because it could easily be the strongest card and the weakest card back in the day depending when it came out of your deck, plus I'm a mad fan of dinos.
Nowadays, not the biggest fan bit still sometimes makes one to bring out a 20000 attack dino god
Archfiends have always held a special place in my heart, specifically Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend. It's quite powerful and Jack Atlas is one of my favourite characters from the anime.
“A card you probably haven’t heard of” bro I have a physical copy 😂 0:17
I say Guardian Eatos since its more playable but hands down favorite. Archlord Zerato. Literally a "D.D Fairy" Deck that was built around the DD's that were around removal and Ancient Sanctuary
tfw you suddenly realize "wait, was I NOT already subscribed to SeeReax? Okay that has to be fixed."
My favorite card is probably Gearfreid the Iron Knight. Joey’s duel against Marin really stuck with me as a kid and the fact that all had to do was play that card and he could have beaten him made the card my favorite card
My favourite card is the "Last Warrior from another Planet". he was part of my very first booster pack and also a part of my fusion deck until they banned Metamorphosis
I have a weird love for Magical Musketeer mastermind - Zeikiel, His effect is way too slow, but oh man when you pull it off you feel SO cool.
I love the masked heroes, especially acid, but my current favorite is ultimate conductor tyranno. A beater with great effects.
You should do a Hero deck containing Elemental, Destiny, Evil and Xtra Hero cards
My favorite card is Eldlitch the golden lord. His Alternative art with him sitting on the throne is so cool to me.
Perfect Machine King, The Creator and Nurse Reficule the Fallen One were my favorites by themselves. Six Samurais were my favorite set.
uuuhhh I need a quick clarification on like 2 cards i think are majorly OPed. not in the sense you cannot beat them but that they have some REALLY nice effects.
Dark Cavalry
"Dark Magician" + 1 Warrior monster
Gains 100 ATK for each Spell/Trap on the field and in the GYs. If this card attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing battle damage. When a card or effect is activated that targets a card on the field (Quick Effect): You can discard 1 card; negate the activation, and if you do, destroy it.
Mirage Knight
This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by the effect of "Dark Flare Knight". When this card battles another monster, during damage calculation increase the ATK of this card by the original ATK of the opponent's monster. During the End Phase after this card was involved in battle, remove this card from play.
Tell me I am misreading dark cavalry somehow and its effect for discard negation can only be used once a turn? Or the fact that if you use a card that halts banishments you can basically keep mirage knight on the field INDEFINITELY???
Dark cavalry gets 100 atk for EVERY spell and trap on the field AND in both graveyards. consider most people use a balance of 5-10 traps and 10-15 spells. thats a grand total of 4000+ atk for cavalry's already impressive 2800. Plus also piercing and a negation/s
I know of ATLEAST 1 card that stops players from banishing FULL STOP. meaning if you cannot banish does that halt mirages end turn removal? if so, its EFFECT does not say its attack is REDUCED TO ITS ORIGINAL amount at the end phase. are you effectively getting a free infinitely growing atk monster? add in something like power of the guardian to reduce risks of destruction (and remember banishing is blocked) your getting a damn scary monster.
Dark Necrofear has always been my favorite card/monster ever since I saw her in the anime, but I also love the Ghostrick archetype cause they're adorable
Favorite card is Koumori Dragon. Don’t even know why but his art has always just got me. That and the OG holographic Blue Eyes White dragon card like the one Kaiba has.
Archfiend Emperor was also a favorite for me so cool seeing someone show him some love great videos
Red-Eyes Black Dragon. I love Red-Eyes ever since the first Yu-Gi-Oh series, and love dragons, and the way they created Red-Eyes it's been my #1 dragon in the entire world of Yu-Gi-Oh.
I will always have a special place in my heart for Octoberser as it was the first real Yu-Gi-Oh card I obtained as a child.
My favorite card of all time is the White Horned Dragon. It’s a 2200 ATK level 6 Dark Dragon monster that banishes up to 5 spells in the opponents Graveyard in order to gain attack, 300 for every spell. It was the first card I ever got, and the story is actually kinda funny.
I was in kindergarten and this kid who was mean to me brought all of his Yugioh cards one day to show them off. I was interested in the cards and this kid wanted to pull a weird kind of prank on me. He did a game where he had put all of his cards face down on his desk, and I had to guess which one was his best card, The Blue Eyes White Dragon. He said I could keep the card if I guessed it right, but if it was wrong, I wouldn’t get a card. I guessed and instead of uncovering Blue Eyes, I uncovered the White Horned Dragon. As a kid, I didn’t know that the card was different, so I got happy. He got pissed that I disrespected Blue Eyes, so he crumpled up the card, calling it a stupid and weak card. I took it, uncrumpled it, and decided to make a deck with the card. I learned to play Yugioh just to spite that guy, and make him pay for making his partner feel worthless (I was really into Pokémon back then, still am but back then Ash Ketchum was my hero)
Our duel came down to his Blue Eyes against my White Horned, and with 5 spells in his grave, I was able to banish them in order to get my White Horned Dragon to 3700 ATK, which is higher than Blue Eyes’ 3000 ATK, which also won me the duel in the end.
I have that card, (still in its “PSA 11” condition) framed in my room. I also have another, not crunchy, copy of the card that I still use in locals today, and I kinda some day want to win a YCS or a Locals with that card some day, just gotta do some push-ups and keep training, ya know? Either way, that’s my little favorite card story. Hope it gives y’all a laugh!
We need Deion to get 1 Milli subs, he deserves it.
Tyrant dragon was my favorite card.
Ironically it was featured in a lot of dragon archetype cards even in the olden days , but it never had an archetype of its own...
It was also heavily underutilized by Rex, imo. I wish they'd bring an archetype for it or a new updatef version of it, it may make me try to muddle my way through modern day YGO again.
