The addition of tenpai was great for this series because now you have opponents who will actually stick around and wait for your full combo to be done. Also, magnet Warriors next please? It's a very competent rock deck :)
I love this deck. I’ve built a pure variant that does well at ending on a Baronne + Crystal Wing, but have seen people combine it with SuperHeavy, Pend Mag, Speedroid, or WindWitch to end on some pretty impressive boards.
With fiendsmith ryzeal (which looks insanely fun btw, pure gas), not pend. Im curious with some support if Pend is going to start actually topping YCSs again
cool idea to look at this archetype! I think this is the essence of yugioh, archetypes. Archfiend next?! Summoned skull deck or his brother cards would be sick!
If Jesse can play symphonic warrior then i need to see him play earth machine! Machina, infinitrack, sky striker, vernusyplh, any variant you desire, i want to see Jesse being forklift certified
Symphonics!! Love these and all music related archetypes! I loved spamming weird synchros out of archetype to make end boards. Symphonics and Solfachord are the only Pend decks I care to operate, but I love the both!
Im kinda interested to see if you can do anything neat with mayakashi. Most mayakashi builds are basically just bone tower mill or ghost meets girl pass, which are both really boring.
Sometimes I think I’m getting pretty good at YGO, then I see Jesse break a (scuffed but still fairly menacing) Yubel board using little more than a bunch of rogue-level engine cards and apologise for how much of an embarrassing mess his performance was.
Pend is the single most underrcooked mechanic Konami ever made. Almost every Pend is generic (as far as scales are concerned) so you wind up not caring about like 95% of them. Combine that with the fact that something like a third of all pends are stuck in the Perfom/Odd Eyes horde and Pend Soup just winds up being the best verion of Pend at almost all times, with a proper archeytpe beating it out very rarely. Then you look at how Konami refuses to actually fully utilize all the interesting things Pends are capable of (Having two different Scales on the same card is an easy one) and youve got the weird mess they exist in
I'll never understand all the hate the pendulum mechanic gets in yugioh. You know, the game where people insist on infinite loops with decks like 6 samurai, doing FTK/OTK combos or having 20 minute combos that lock others out of the game, while at the same time complaining about how (insert card here) needs to be banned or something goofy like that.
I don't think those who dislike pendulums like FTKs and 20 minute combos. In fact, one of the reasons I dislike pendulums is because it's good at facilitating those things.
Pendulums are overcomplicated for no reason. Before and after all summoning mechanics were very simple, grab two things make one thing. Pendulums have so many extra rules that they feel like they're playing a different game. I do like the aspect of them being continuous spells as well as monster, but again that's just one aspect of the many pendulums have.
Bro what. Those are the exact reasons people hate pend. 20 minute combos? That's essentially the only thing any pend deck ever does. FTKs? One of the best FTK decks in history was a pend deck.
this is a very nice build! i always thought of Symphonic Warriors as more of a support engine than a pure deck. Tenpai spine works well. I'd really recommend adding Supreme King Gate Magician as a Darkwurm search target, you can play Clear Wing as a ZArc ingredient to maybe synchro summon, and the Magician will add Pendulum Evolution to give you a 2nd pend summon (and possible 2nd search with a 2nd Beyond, her first effect is not once per turn!) when you synchro summon Rockks!
Symphonic Warriors are really cool! Really happy to see you do this. I for one would be interested in seeing you take on decks that HAVE Pendulums, but aren't really "Pendulum decks" in the traditional sense- decks like Melodious or Vaalmonica. Also once again begging for making Harpie Ladies meta!
I like a lot of the decks that came from the Arc V era, Phantom Knights in particular is so cool, and I hope that it gets new support eventually, but even as it it, there are 1-2 card combos that can either lead to 3 monster negates in 1 card, or a going second OTK with Arc rebellions
1:37 to be fair, the scale effect on Astro is useless *nowadays* because he's limited. if you opened 2 astros that scale effect would let you instantly get 2 free bodies on board and your 3rd astro into your hand which got you a really easy setup for odd-eyes absolute post pend summon, which let would you cheat out odd-eyes vortex for basically free. and running stargazer for that was 1110% worth it
A while back I was really into the idea of a matchmech/symphonic deck. I didnt think they'd mesh well, I only wanted to be able to name the deck Math Rock
For Pendulums my favourite is the “Empowered Warriors” I run an Empowered Warriors Vanquish Soul deck. They are (mostly) fire earth and can make Dempsey for me :) Also that one sneaky direct attacker on top of all the burns has a tiny bit of utility. I also like Symphonic Warriors and Igknights. Because they are generic kinda
If you want an archetype where the pends have use as bith monsters and spells, you should try making Vaalmonica meta after the Fiendsmith cards drop in MD. That's the pend deck I fell in love with and The LEDE support really patched it up
In terms of Pendulum I think it is a unique idea that has a lot of potential to be great, but that up until recently, Konami was scared to make good pendulum strategies, I’m glad that’s changed with decks like Melodias and Valmonica, but none of them will top Abyss Actor
I can't remember exactly when but like me maybe a year-ish ago these 2 buddies showed up to one of our OTS case tournaments and both played a symphonic warrior FTK deck and they ended up in 1st n 2nd it was just their day both are good players but acknowledged that it was a kinda one trick pony I want to say it might have been Kash format because it was super hand trap lite meta.
You don’t kill that turn it you ancient fairy to special because you can’t conduct your battle phase during the turn you activate ancient fairy’s effect to special summon, still a good board wipe with the field spell.
I played this at the last YCS Niagara lol and this deck can do a ftk where everything in the main deck is in-archetype other than the ending combo pieces which is searched by things from the ED
Is there any good pendulum decks like this in tcg? I’ve always liked the mechanic but not having appo/barron/savage feels rough for current tcg format. Any ideas?
True Draco is a really budget engine. good tech cards that are low rarity: Forbidden Chalice, Mystical Space Typhoon, My Body As a Shield, Swords of Concealing Light, Book of Moon, Mad Hacker, Hop Ear Squadron (turn Phatazmay/Chaos Hunter into Shenshen or huge Accel Synchro Stardust plays off Psyframe Driver and Bystials)
Hey I'm still kind of curious if something can ever build a deck with millennium shield Total defense Shogun and elemental hero wild heart and make it work
Please please mr Kotton, can you do a video on resonators please. I know this deck has potential. I want to know the best possible ways to utilise the archetype
Just to let you know any deck you make is probably good enough for me also I'm not really into pendulums but these do kinda seem interesting and would be willing to try them

All I have to say is... PEND BEST DECK
also didn't Trif just win a YCS that's insane.
With fiendsmith ryzeal (which looks insanely fun btw, pure gas), not pend.
Im curious with some support if Pend is going to start actually topping YCSs again
not with pend is kind of sad though
No electrumite is a huge problem for most tcg pend decks @@seijiren5115
cool idea to look at this archetype! I think this is the essence of yugioh, archetypes. Archfiend next?! Summoned skull deck or his brother cards would be sick!
🎵And the Band Played On🎶
Not really an archetype but i really like the 2 doodle beast cards and it would be really cool to see them in a deck
If Jesse can play symphonic warrior then i need to see him play earth machine! Machina, infinitrack, sky striker, vernusyplh, any variant you desire, i want to see Jesse being forklift certified
Symphonics!! Love these and all music related archetypes! I loved spamming weird synchros out of archetype to make end boards. Symphonics and Solfachord are the only Pend decks I care to operate, but I love the both!
The symphonic warriors is the only Pendulum deck I like as well, more for the art that anything, its not meta at all but I love the band!
Im kinda interested to see if you can do anything neat with mayakashi. Most mayakashi builds are basically just bone tower mill or ghost meets girl pass, which are both really boring.

I mean, he did thrash talked the Yubel board even before it was finished, so maybe you could've done so as well

Ikr. People complain about everything in this game. And their solution is always “ban the cards I don’t like.”
Bro what. Those are the exact reasons people hate pend. 20 minute combos? That's essentially the only thing any pend deck ever does. FTKs? One of the best FTK decks in history was a pend deck.
People get mad at every new mechanic, if you go back to when they where first announced a TON of people absolutely hated syncros
Day I don't remember of :asking for Dogmatika
Daymn im impressed this cooks really hard

Please can you cook with Vendread? I came back to the game thanks to the deck so I love it very dearly.
Thank you for giving this deck a try, I really really love it's design effect and artwork wise

Krawlers Krawlers Krawlers! 👾
And make them spicy! Lol curious to see how you can make it Meta with the new support like Sunset Beat & Conbirdable!
Gonna make my pitch for Ancient Warriors! It's a super fun going-second archetype of board breakers that *can* go first if made to do so.
1:37 to be fair, the scale effect on Astro is useless *nowadays* because he's limited. if you opened 2 astros that scale effect would let you instantly get 2 free bodies on board and your 3rd astro into your hand which got you a really easy setup for odd-eyes absolute post pend summon, which let would you cheat out odd-eyes vortex for basically free. and running stargazer for that was 1110% worth it
A while back I was really into the idea of a matchmech/symphonic deck. I didnt think they'd mesh well, I only wanted to be able to name the deck Math Rock
i think the best and new player friendly deck for pendulum is Dinomist. very fun, easy to learn, has control aspect, and it can hit pretty hard.
For Pendulums my favourite is the
“Empowered Warriors”
I run an Empowered Warriors Vanquish Soul deck.
They are (mostly) fire earth and can make Dempsey for me :)
Also that one sneaky direct attacker on top of all the burns has a tiny bit of utility.
I also like Symphonic Warriors and Igknights. Because they are generic kinda
Re the last game: As the great Luke Tyler says, "Time isn't real, it is just a concept"
If you want an archetype where the pends have use as bith monsters and spells, you should try making Vaalmonica meta after the Fiendsmith cards drop in MD.
That's the pend deck I fell in love with and The LEDE support really patched it up
I love vaalmonica too. So fun to play, i can't wait until the support comes to MD..
In terms of Pendulum I think it is a unique idea that has a lot of potential to be great, but that up until recently, Konami was scared to make good pendulum strategies, I’m glad that’s changed with decks like Melodias and Valmonica, but none of them will top Abyss Actor
Seeing Jesse make a video over one of my favorite archetypes was not on my 2024 bingo card! Do my absolute favorite next, Altergeists!
I can't remember exactly when but like me maybe a year-ish ago these 2 buddies showed up to one of our OTS case tournaments and both played a symphonic warrior FTK deck and they ended up in 1st n 2nd it was just their day both are good players but acknowledged that it was a kinda one trick pony I want to say it might have been Kash format because it was super hand trap lite meta.

micc and guitar where used in cyber dragons too
Shoutout to the editor for the title cards. Cool stuff
A _real_ challenge would be to create a Galaxy-Eyes Photon deck that will give the _Meta_ decks a run for their money...
With the unband of Knightmare Goblin i think Infernity should be worth a try.
Hey Jesse, would love to see you play Red Dragon Archfiend as its my current irl deck.
One of the best decks, don't forget your Void Apocalypse's
Hey There Jesse, I would really like to see your take on the "Ancient Warrior" arch type.
Amazoness would be cool to check out! I think they got some pendulum monsters. Awesome build!
Another video of me asking Jesse to do the Nephthys
is it possible to do a modern orcust? haha id love to play them but dont really know how and started playing way later
Is there any good pendulum decks like this in tcg? I’ve always liked the mechanic but not having appo/barron/savage feels rough for current tcg format. Any ideas?
Lair of darkness with two monsters called, luminous soldier and vampire hunter. Would love to see how you make it meta
This is a joke, right?
I’ve seen enough sub replay friday to know that these cards can do practically anything
This deck is secretly (this is a lie) heinous and terrifying.
Is it even possible to make War Rocks good? I would love to see that.
If I was to build this in the tcg, how would I replace the tenpai cards and snow for the shooting riser send? Is there a good lv4 target?
YOOOO my favorite summoning method finally coming home!!! Let's goo
I think it would be cool if you did budget master duel deck n, r, sr and then staple hand traps that most people would have it would be cool to see
True Draco is a really budget engine.
good tech cards that are low rarity: Forbidden Chalice, Mystical Space Typhoon, My Body As a Shield, Swords of Concealing Light, Book of Moon, Mad Hacker, Hop Ear Squadron (turn Phatazmay/Chaos Hunter into Shenshen or huge Accel Synchro Stardust plays off Psyframe Driver and Bystials)
I dead set thought you were gunna say melodious 😩
Do a lunalight deck next
Make Dragunity playable PLEASE!!!! That deck has so much potential as a Dragon Synchro deck
Hey I'm still kind of curious if something can ever build a deck with millennium shield Total defense Shogun and elemental hero wild heart and make it work
a jesse fluffal deck would be so awesome
The thing is these decks exist and people know they exist but majority despise pendulum and never give it the time of day 💀
Bro … 3rd day of me asking Jesse Morton to make weather painters META
First! Also, Day 13 of asking for T.G. to be made meta. I will strive for this deck until they get their chance in the spotlight!
Please please mr Kotton, can you do a video on resonators please. I know this deck has potential. I want to know the best possible ways to utilise the archetype
We need subterror now!! The best flip deck in the game.
Your the goat 🐐
I want to see your take on Infernobles once Azamina comes live to master duel! >:D
Ancient Warriors made meta.
We‘re not disrespecting Abyss Actor, they’re actually well designed and balanced 🗣️
I would love to see a Weevil insect deck.
play this at locals. the reaction would be crazy!
I Want To See Monarchs Jesse
Making Amazoness playable/meta would be cool
Oh god. Do you really want him to do a cringe, faux feminist bit about liking strong, muscular women? Lol
It’s pendulum it’s easy to spiecal summon any monster with no restrictions
I would live to see fortune lady/Fortune Fairy in modern and be good
Just to let you know any deck you make is probably good enough for me also I'm not really into pendulums but these do kinda seem interesting and would be willing to try them
DJJ for the win 😎 4:34
22:49 you said Xuanzang there?
You should cover Red dragon archfiend or Ice barrier
Pendulums are the most powerful type of in deck cards
Still asking for mekk knights! Especially with the new stuff coming up
TRIF ENTERS THE CHAT
I play a version with superheavys that makes 8 negates on turn 1
Pendulum not beating the vomit generic omni negates allegations
Lavals next????
Ruin & Demise: End of the world (Ritual deck)
Why did you choose to use the default field
i was interested till the end board of game 1 was just the generic end board of 90% of combo decks barron apoo savage
I'm still waiting on the speedroids bby
53:38
Very cool
I’m not a fan of pendulum either but this deck looks fun 😅
$100 says you CAN NOT make Yosenju meta
Red-eyes deck next please 🙏
Average Pendulum endboard 😂
i wonder why 3 of his endboard pieces are banned in TCG , hm still some room for more bans
Burn deck list please. I cant afford meta decks and can only afford burn cards
BLS deck PLS
Please make dragunity meta
Prove to me that you are a good boy
thousand eyes/relinquished/Millenium eyes
Jesse, can you plz make a dino deck meta? Asking for a friend. That friend is me.
Please break Lunalight now that Tiger is back to 3.
Day 1 try for jesse kotton to make a new version of prank kids that's more meta relevant 😀 😄 😉
