For people curious about the maliss translation. It refers to the Melissa Virus, which was notable for hitting the Pentagon. Aliss, a book that's dark take on Alice in Wonderland. of course, then also Malware and Alice.
@@RazielTheUnborn the searching for it online databases and eventually games would be annoying.

It's litterally the worst designed deck we had in a while. They are just a generic waifu with the generic link spam playstyle. And the artwork has nothing to do with Alice in wonderland except by lazely quoting it.
so the play style of Maliss is similar to how coding works. the Link Monster is the main program, and the main deck monsters are similar to subroutines a program can perform, the more subroutines a program has, the more complex it is.
No, if anything I’d be more worried, if their effects are at all related to their hacking process, they might be the worst computer virsus’s known to man
HI mathemtician here: in simple terms "for all" aka "upside down A". Just means "for ever item" or "in all cases". E.g. if I have a "set" (of numbers/items) like the Natural numbers [1,2,3,4,...] (called N) then: 2*x is even "upside-down A" x in N Means "for every item x in the set of N, two times any item in that set will always be even". Maths takes a lot of writing so there is short hand notation for everything. So long as someone clearly defines all notations and terms then even this entire comment i could have writen in 1 line. Maths is the langue of the universe after all, you rarely use actual numbers post 1 year degree.

Guess we finally found Playmaker's waifu deck. Seriously though nice finding. I want to post a hot take on this video comment section (not on this replies, unless you want). Could I mention you in regards to this 3 pattern? Cause I see (likley just a coincidence) a mix of Yusaku with another character of Vrains when I saw those cards.
I’m not gonna lie, between Golden Sarc, the new Exodia support, and now the Malice cards, Konami’s been cooking with the archetypes lately. Also I like the idea of the international translation being in elite speak “M4L1C3”
i also want to point this out, but the Dark Irregulars clan in Cardfght Vanguard also has an Alice in Wonderland theme subclan called "Nightmareland" (all the references will be obvious if you look it up)
I'll share this to you guys,the creator of cardfight vanguard wrote Yu-Gi-Oh R before eventually doing cardfight vanguard.He's also an artist supporting Kazuki Takahashi.
Can't believe they actually made a link archetype that cares about link arrows i almost thought they forgot the arrows existed. Also i love the art for GWC-06
I really never understood the logic on the arrow placement for some cards. I always thought it was related to the card artwork and how a character was facing or whatever. Then, after learning more about Link cards, I saw it wasn’t really the case, and I find it irritating more than anything.
4:39 They could have also just let the name be. The upside-down "A" would have already disqualified any card that aren't part of the archetype from being affected by their effects. As for making the decks in-game? I do not think anybody would have cared if they had to be careful when picking the correct cards in Deck-building, after all, whenever you search for "HERO" in, say, Duel Links you also get the "Heroic" archetype mixed in as well.
I also think they had inspiration from the Looking Glass War books, which used Aliss for her name in Wonderland, and Alice in the normal world ((the story is nuts)
i think what they need to do with the translation is just to add an "e" in the end so it became malisse. -you keep the malware reference -you keep alice (a bit of a weird spelling though) -its an anagram of "melissa" a famous computer virus from the 90s
What makes this deck so dear to me even though it just got released is the fact that I recently just got back to Yugioh, and have just finished rereading Alice in the Wonderland, fast forward a few weeks I talked with a few friends about the idea of an Alice in the Wonderland themed deck, after talking about my getting my first job (which is related to Cyber Security) needless to say, I love how the deck was announced at the right time as if it was made for me (even though I dont think it was)
These cards have beautiful artwork and I adore the literary references included in their names, art, effects, and just the overall vibe. I also love your Haikyu shirt!
4:00 but this same reason is why HERO was capitalized (There was a few HERO cards spelled “Hero” at first iirc), to prevent cards spelled with “Hero” be technically searchable or used effects with certain cards that they aren’t supposed to.
As someone with a degree in mathematics, I would have went with the original name. It's such a unique presentation that it stands out so nicely as the name for an archetype. Alternatively, I do enjoy the "M4L1C3" choice as well - after all, the TCG was the one to spring "Ghoti" = "Fish" on the world, so I don't think they should have any qualms on this archetype's name...
This is the first deck that I genuinely want to build just because of the art and the theme in a long, long time, I hope it won't be too expensive to build
They are Cyberse as well. So this could make the deck have Playmaker (type, names and hacking), Blue Angel (fantasy literature and artwork), Ghost Girl (names and hacking) vibes. I immediatly thought of the former two after seeing the theme and type of the cards and I think the archtype is closer to a mix of Yusaku and Aoi avatars and decks , but I could see some of Emma also fitting.
I feel like no one realizes that every MAlice's card artwork is about a single person, Alice herself is all those card's characters. Like she has multiple hacker accounts (Multiple + Alice = MAlice) They share the same eye color, base hair color (only the highlights are different), and body type.
Im pretty excited about them. Also those link arrows seem really friendly to go linking and co-linking off. Especially since when you special summon from banish they can be put in main monster zone.
At the very least, they could have named it MALICE in caps lock to differentiate it from the other Malice cards, they did the same with HERO, making it so the archetype support cards won't work with Oscillo Hero or with Heroics.
Man, I really like this archetype. I'm really excited to see how it evolves further. I really want to see the Twiddle Twins, The Walrus and the Carpenter, and even Alice herself! I didn't notice until this video that there wasn't a card for the titular character.
Indeed... though i imagine alice might get 2 representations... as a pawn and as a queen, meanwhile, there might be more pawns or other chess pieces and codes that could be brought in. I could see a searcher called Malice (K) White Knight which combines the character of the white knight and a Trojan virus.
Making the Wonderland a Cybernetic Mystic World and the characters being Mecha is Genial, Although i would think it would be really cool if there was a Wonderland Toon Archtype.
Considering the theme/design of the archetype at first glance appearance to me, and added by details of what another user ( @MetronaJ ) pointed out as a characteristic of the archetype; while I doubt this was intentional, the Maliss, in my opinion, only, at lesat, has a very Yusaku/Aoi vibe. The Yusaku part is obvious, it is cyberse, it has a computer theme involving hacking (keep in mind that some of the cyberse cards or archetypes, like Salamngreat, don't follow the computer / web themes), Also, as pointed out by the other user mentioned above, there is number 3 pattern in several aspects of the archetype cards (for now at least); and Yusaku had his “3 reasons” quirk. The Aoi part is not evident, but could be argued: First: the Maliss follow Alice in Wonderland them, a children’s novel with part of it having fairy tales elements. Aoi inspired her Blue Angel avatar on a fairy tale book for young children, which was even released in IRL as a card. While the exact form of literatures is different, they both follow fantasy magical worlds stories that are aimed at children as one of the inspirations. Secondly, the link monsters are inspired on royalty characters from Alice, mainly the Queens where it seems we have different forms/appearances of Alices: from the main deck monsters, closer to the creatures, then to royalty beings in the Extra Deck. Aoi, in season 2, changes her avatar from Blue Angel (magical girl/ fairy = magical creature) and Blue Girl (regular girl = Alice) to Blue Maiden and adopt the Marincess deck. The deck is clear in royalty theme (Marincess = Marine + Princess). Now the word "Maiden" by default doesn't refer to royalty (it is usually used for young unmarried girls), but in some fantasy novels or stories, knights rescue princesses, who are also read as "damsel", which is a synonym to "maidens", since the princesses are single. So by going with this logic Aoi final avatar follows the theme of Maliss bosses. In the end this is mainly my pov. I may just me reading to much into it and, as I said, doubt Konami did it on purpose (unlike say "Gemknights" that are clear mix of Judai/Jesse). So take this as more of a funny thing than outright fact.
I think either “M/Alice”, “[M]Alice”, “MAL-Ice” or “M-Alice” could’ve worked. That or just come up with a new name that keeps the intent of the archetype the way they did for the Malefic/SIN Archetype
Sounds like Blue-Eyes Spirit Ultimate will be indispensable when dealing with this archetype to keep cards in my graveyard from being banished and Bystial Dis Pater can be used to great effect in stopping monster effects cold to and reviving any banished monsters.
I absolutely love the thought and love put into the design and aesthetic of Yu-Gi-Oh cards. It's a shame that so much detail and design gets hammered by bans and limits when overused in the meta and can't play an archetype for itself when core cards for playing that archtype on its own are hit.
This kinda makes me want to see what else Yugioh can do with other fairytales and classic stories and combining them with things like malware or other such elements, like they did with Wizard of Oz and Star Wars, even the Fairy Tails; maybe Peter Pan and/or Treasure Island/Plant?
I cannot wait to get these in both Master Duel & the TCG!!! I have been waiting for an Alice in Wonderland-themed Yugioh card archetype/series for a long time!!
Hoping that Maliiss get more Base Deck members in future. : ) Luckily, there are lot options, how many of them have malware names to go with is another story. I could see that larva/butterfly be used with "worm" malware at least. Another would be a Troijan, but... I don't know if there was any horse in the Wonderland. At least we got Mad Hacker to go with the deck.
I would really like to see a Snow White archetype with the 7 dwarfs all being their own monsters levled 1 through 7, You could potentially even have a play on them mining gems and give them the crystal beast effect of goong to the spell and trap card zone when destroyed. Your win con could be getting all 7 dearfs out onto the field and then getting Snow White out whom could lock down all effects on your opponents field if all 7 dwarfs are on the field, and maybe get some sort of attack boost You could have a poison apple spell which if played goes to your opponents side of the field and causes them to lose X amount of life points, discard from their hand, or banish from their graveyard as cost. Then you could use the magic mirror as a spell or trap that bounces any card effect back onto the opponent.
There is the card Fairy Tail - Snow in the game, complete with an effect that banish 7 cards to '''rescue'' her from the GY, but an archetype would be nice too!
He used to do booster box openings like other Yugitubers would do around a new set but I think he mentioned how either Konami or someone else didn't want him to do his duel analysis videos anymore if he wants to get products early and he decline that offer

I think either “M/Alice”, “[M]Alice”, “MAL-Ice” or “M-Alice” could’ve worked. That or just come up with a new name that keeps the intent of the archetype the way they did for the Malefic/SIN Archetype
Sounds like Blue-Eyes Spirit Ultimate will be indispensable when dealing with this archetype to keep cards in my graveyard from being banished and Bystial Dis Pater can be used to great effect in stopping monster effects cold to and reviving any banished monsters.
such a creative archetype, it's been some time since konami cooked this hard
alos the guy who wrote alice in wodnerrland based the character on a student he took care of often and was rumoured to being in love with
I absolutely love the thought and love put into the design and aesthetic of Yu-Gi-Oh cards. It's a shame that so much detail and design gets hammered by bans and limits when overused in the meta and can't play an archetype for itself when core cards for playing that archtype on its own are hit.
Im definitely gonna be playing this archetype plus I like playing link monsters. Really looking froward to this one.
How have I never heard about this archetype?? 🤯
Insane that Sam did an archtype that basically just got announced and isn't even out yet, I would of waited for more support but still, great video ^^
I'm so excited for these to get to masterduel (I know that's going to be a while) they look so awesome
I need this archetype in my life now.
I love the Maliss archetype and wish it gets more support like bishop, rook, and jack link monster
I was excited about White Queen looking like Sky Striker 2, but holy crap this deck looks so cool.
If they somehow referenced Evil Twins in future support (Vchat meets malware), that would be amazing!
I like the shirt. Need to go rewatch that again…
This kinda makes me want to see what else Yugioh can do with other fairytales and classic stories and combining them with things like malware or other such elements, like they did with Wizard of Oz and Star Wars, even the Fairy Tails; maybe Peter Pan and/or Treasure Island/Plant?
I like to imagine that this archetype supports the Fairy Tail archetype.
I do hope we get more of the Malice- I mean MALISS archetype in Supreme Darkness. It would be awesome!
How did you get the upside-down A for Malice?
It’s a Unicode symbol. You can get it the same way as any special symbol or just copy paste it
Press ALT+"+"+2200 → ∀. But i think you should have a certain setting enabled to work on Windows.
M/ALICE TALKER 🗣️🗣️🗣️
This deck looks like a lot of fun, I can’t wait to try it out!
I cannot wait to get these in both Master Duel & the TCG!!!
I have been waiting for an Alice in Wonderland-themed Yugioh card archetype/series for a long time!!
Best Deck. Also, M4L1c3 sounds like a password
This is really cool imagine if character used these in the show
Hoping that Maliiss get more Base Deck members in future. : ) Luckily, there are lot options, how many of them have malware names to go with is another story. I could see that larva/butterfly be used with "worm" malware at least. Another would be a Troijan, but... I don't know if there was any horse in the Wonderland.
At least we got Mad Hacker to go with the deck.
malware one villain of Ben 10 series
I would really like to see a Snow White archetype with the 7 dwarfs all being their own monsters levled 1 through 7,
You could potentially even have a play on them mining gems and give them the crystal beast effect of goong to the spell and trap card zone when destroyed.
Your win con could be getting all 7 dearfs out onto the field and then getting Snow White out whom could lock down all effects on your opponents field if all 7 dwarfs are on the field, and maybe get some sort of attack boost
You could have a poison apple spell which if played goes to your opponents side of the field and causes them to lose X amount of life points, discard from their hand, or banish from their graveyard as cost.
Then you could use the magic mirror as a spell or trap that bounces any card effect back onto the opponent.
There is the card Fairy Tail - Snow in the game, complete with an effect that banish 7 cards to '''rescue'' her from the GY, but an archetype would be nice too!
Really can't wait for the second wave of support. We haven't even gotten actual Alice yet
Konami, hire this man, or at least sponsor him. NOW.
He used to do booster box openings like other Yugitubers would do around a new set but I think he mentioned how either Konami or someone else didn't want him to do his duel analysis videos anymore if he wants to get products early and he decline that offer
