The Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG is getting its first new monster type since 2017: Illusion! Twitter: / dzeeff Twitch: / dzeeff Thumbnail made by: / crushcards #YuGiOh #dzeeff
I want a full on illusion relinquished legacy / new wave of support. At best fusion based so it can mix with these cards as well! I want to play relinquished as its one of my fave archetypes to exist!
@@cardboard.sp00n19 considering the cards lock special summoning from the ED specifically to fusion only, they absolutely can mix ritual and fusion for the new support as well, since it wouldnt go against the new illusion cards.
Eye of Illusion is the closest thing we will get. It works will Spellcasters and Illusion monsters. The card was played by Pegasus in episode 2 of the anime against yugi.
Always good to see a new type of monster, it brings new strategies. Not only that but I look forward of old school cards getting new retrains as Illusion monsters.
Hearing about these new Illusion Type Monsters made my mind immediately think of a _Mirage Knight_ Retrain. Illusion Type is practically made for the card.
excited for the future of archetypes with this monster type in combination with chimera! if it gets another archetype other than generic illusion at least
Illusionist gives them an opportunity to retread Ruka's monsters from 5Ds. A lot of them were fairies, plants and beasts; you could retread a lot of them under the Illusionist type now, amd just have the new effects lock you into light Illusionist and Dragon monsters, to accommodate AFD and any upgraded form AFD might get.
@@kryzethx That's what I mean, although I guess it wouldn't technically be a retrain, since I don't think any of Ruka's cards from the anime actually got printed in the OCG/TCG
Fusion Armament seems REALLY good for setting up an OTK because if you can recycle the card or recycle the chimera fusion, you can "Fusion climb" through multiple copies of Chimera Illusion to get like a 4+ attack Chimera and just go for game
Chimera monsters have a certain cool factor, no question. Not sure how the new Illusion archetype connects with the classic concept of magical illusions based on the abilities shown, however. And on a side note: "Coatl" is pronounced CO-AH-TULL.
The obvious cards that'd suit potential Illusion retrains as Relinquished & associated cards, but I'd like to throw out that Toons themselves fit the notion of Illusion monsters quite well. Their manga/ anime gimmick was being indestructible as long as Toon World survives, and their original shared effects when printed were summoning sickness, an LP cost to attack, and being able to attack directly so long as the opponent doesn't have a Toon. Illusions are indestructible in battle as are whatever they fight, so this fits neatly with Toon's direct attacking & in-story battle protection (the only part that doesn't fit is not being able to destroy other monsters by battle).
This somehow feels like an engine. Would have to be for a fusion deck that doesn't need it's normal summon but getting rid of 1 card from your opponents hand and putting up 2 negates while only using 1 card in hand doesn't sound bad.
it is interesting seeing a new type that got an actual gimmick to it (cyberse only had a gimmick of being link monster focused), the main hope it does not just become an illusion pile deck but can also archetype to not create anouther dinosaur
I tried this deck on master duel with the triangle battle. It was really good for going second ! Especially the loop: -Discard coatl to add swordknight -use fusion armament to put the old fusion -normal summon sword knight Usually once you arrived there,you have enough effects to pass most boards... Coatl in GY prevents from targeting, swordknight summons berfomet to add the 2 last cards and can negate a monster on voard,and the 3 other cards in hand usually help to finish the board (not to mention the 2 cards you're adding by summoning berfomet) The chimera fusion is especially good since it adds draw power and destroy a lot of cards on the board, bot to pention gazelle and berformet have an effect when used to summon it so you can chain block and it is untargetable if you have poly in GY. I faced a red archfiend dragon deck which had at least 5 interrupts (the synch 9 archfiend dragon, the bystial synch, ash, imperm, the continuous trap) and won
My thoughts on the new type. Overall seems pretty strong, starting out with 2 in architypal negates is certainly fun. Something I feel is the main fusion card could possibly do more? Kinda like the Ancient Gear one, if you used og Befromet or Gazelle you could fuse using in deck mats or even a card from your extra. Gives even more reason to play them on top of the banish effect which comes in my next thought, An idea I had almost immediately was playing this with the Frightfur Package, that banish effect looks like prime Stapelia food. Idk could just be the Branded duelist in me. Edit: Nevermind just seen Fusion Armament im *totally* playing this with Frightfur Package.
It looks fun as they basically work similarly to Timelords. However, I don't understand why they are an archetype and not a monster category just like Spirit, Flip and Union. Archetypes are just reflections of the monster's physiology and don't have the same effect shared across their peers - that's what monster categories do, e.g.: Spirit monsters having to be Normal Summoned and returning to the hand or Flip monsters having effect activations when being turned up. We could argue that the Zombie archetype often has effects which are related to the graveyard, Pyro monsters potentially having a burn effect and Psychic monsters requiring Life Points to activate an effect but those effects aren't the exact same and don't apply to every monster of that archetype either.
A field spell like zombie world could be really busted in this archetipe. You can set it up, superpolly the field away into the big chimera, get in for a shitone of damage and win in the spot
Man I just remember the first 3 decks released back when I was a kid . Joeys deck, yugis deck, and Kaibas deck. (Hope I spell the names right been a min) but the nightmare magician reminded me of dark magician and I respect they made a illusion version
Surprised we didn't get a TCG exclusive Illusion monster revealed (although tbh they haven't even shown a new Illusion monster in Age of Overlord at the OCG sooo)
Branded Fusion with Gazelle into Rindbrumm to search Swordsman then sac it for Berfomet, get Kitt, and chimera fusion. SS Kitt, get Branded in Red, fusion kitt and berfomet into Chimera King. It's a pretty good combo off of 1 Branded fusion, and I've been doing that combo for a while now :) it's really fun.
For a second I didn't see the OPT clause on Phantom Chimera, I was like "Wait, Chimera isn't OPT and is fusion Material for another Chimera? Surely this won't be abused" I really thought they just made gustkraken 2, but considering Gishki got support maybe I should worry about the original instead.
The eye restrict tie in maybe? From that monster with Illusionist in name i think Millennium eye illusionist They could add dark magician tie in? With Illusion of chaos, apprentice illusion, magician of dark illusion, etc. They could go Yugi or Pegasus route 🤔
This takes me back to the days i used to play chimera deck in school just because i thought Gezzele was so badass looking Always looking forward to more old cards in modern ways
Random mexican here to confirm MR ZEEEEEEF's first pronunciation of Cornfield Coatl is pretty much it. As far as I recall, most words that end with "tl" are pronounced as the "tle" in "mantle."
They are going to have to do something about all the hand traps and existing meta tier 1 decks that win the game almost instantly if do you not stop them. Most games don't even reach the battle phase, it's going to be hard to have a new type of monsters that their ability is related to battle.
Seeing a new monster type made that’s game original makes me wonder if koanmi will ever implement the 6 new monster types the rush duel format made someday, always exciting seeing new monster types come into the game
Konami sponsored reveals are cool, but they make me wish the game was synched up globally. Everyone already saw and reacted to these cards months ago. They already got new support announced in the next set over in OCG land.
funny how he is talking about this arctype, while in the OCG the new Horus support can go + 1 while searching teh engine card, then foollish 4 and special summon those 4 and also draw 5 cards
Cornfield Coatl search Mirror Knight; Mirror Knight ss Berfomet, search Fusion and Beast; Fusion summon Chimera (Chimera eff discard opp, Berfomet eff reborn Mirror, Beast eff search Cornfield); Add Fusion back to hand then set it; In opponent's turn: Mirror Knight ss Berfomet, search Fusion and Beast; Activate Fusion to make Guardian Chimera (Pop cards, draw cards, Berfomet eff reborn Mirror, Beast eff search Cornfield) P/S: you can use Cornfield and Mirror negation somewhere along the combo
Just thought of a funny combo that no one will ever use: Fusion Armament to reveal Dragon Master Knight, summon Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon. Tribute it for Great Maju Garzett for 9000 atk.
Doug said it himself before that he doesn't like to discuss too much whether a card gonna be bad or good in the game. Always appreciate that from him. Kinda what I like about his videos of new set tho. What a great konami employee
Hopefully illusion is able to carve out more of a vissual niche for its self as more cards are revealed, other wise its going to end up like wyrm were its more a mechanical way of printing cards without having to consider the powerful support that already exists. Cyberse and psychic did a good job in my opinion, bringing a digital and cyberpunk style to yugioh that was underdevloped. But i do feel stuff like this points to set rotaion being needed in yugioh beofre we start getting "arachnid" "Soldier" "vehcial" and other such card types because it becomes to hard to design cards in warior insect or machine because of the preexsisting support
I feel like these cards are perfect examples why Yugioh would benefit from keywords it’d save a whole lot of space if they just didn’t have to right all that battle destruction stuff on each illusion monster
Thats never going to change unfortunately cuz then Konami would have to reprint every single card in existence which is not feasible and would probably make all the older prints lose their value completely
So… reminds me of the Gaia support from a while back, but with yet another of Yugi’s monsters and actually has ways to interact with the opponent and has a way to recover from a board wipe.
There's a problem, the Illusion Beast doesn't have the clause of being treated as a Phantom Beast, when cuz of the Japanese text, it's supposed to be a Phantom Beast as well but it ain't
regarding the pronunciation of coatl, yeah it's koh-ah-tl, but the tl in coatl is a fun sound that doesn't exist in english. y'know how, to make a t sound, you block airflow with your tongue, build up pressure, and letting up the tongue makes that sound? well, if you try to do that but you keep the tip of the tongue on the roof of your mouth like you do with L, and release the pressure by moving the body of the tongue back instead so air can go through your cheeks around your tongue, it makes the tl in coatl. it's cool c:
Coatl is pronounced like the English word coat, but after the 't' sound you let air out of your mouth with your tongue touching the roof of your mouth (not a phonetic used in English). It's a Nahuatl (pronounced nah-hwat[air sound]) word and you'd probably be fine just saying "coat" if you don't want to learn a new sound to make with your mouth; pronouncing the 'l' like an English 'l' is usually seen as the most cringy option when trying to pronounce words with the 'tl' sound, so coat-ull is probably the worst option, whatever you choose. Also fun fact: the little salamanders that Gentlemander is based off of are axolotls which is also a Nahuatl word! It's perhaps best pronounced a-SHOW-lote with English phonetics (you would also have to learn the Nahuatl 'x' sound if you wanted to pronounce it 100% accurately).
You could already do that sort of thing with Fusion Deployment, but the main difference for this card is that it can summon monsters from the Extra Deck
They've added so many new types they should add a new attribute instead. I also think they should open up divine beast type and divine attribute to other monsters than the gods. But they can keep the gods special if they want by leaving them as the only monsters to be both divine attribute and divine beast type. Others will be divine attribute and have a normal type like spellcaster or warrior and others will be divine beast type but be dark attribute or light or fire attribute for example. They can make the new hypothetical attribute the opposite of divine since all attributes have an opposite.
I mean there is only a certain number of elements, what would you add on to the 7 attributes we have? The opposite of divine maybe, what would that be called?
The Wicked, the Sacred Beasts, and the Aesir were originally DIVINE in their respective canons, but Konami changed it likely because other monsters based on deities were not DIVINE.
The opposite of divine could be Abyssal and type being abyssal, dreadful or pagan beast as to represent the "fake divinity" and make the Egyptian god cards the true deities of the game maybe? 🤔
With lots of archetypes having cards like Mirror Knight to stop effects going off, Black Rose Dragon desperately needs new upgrades with inspiration from RDA, BW, etc.
Personally I think they should have just made illusion a sub type instead of a main type. You know, like toon, spirit, gemini, union, tuner, etc. They all or mostly have that ability of neither monsters being destroyed by battle so just make illusion a sub type with that universal effect.
Cmiiw, you can use branded fusion with albaz and gazelle to summon lindwurm then search 1 illusion monster out of eff of gazelle.. seems pretty nice tech for branded
I think a new chimera archetypal card as a replacement for polymerization would be a big benefit to the deck (yes, I know the have one), it might make people run the OG fusion materials if it wasn't just vanilla poly. OG Berfomet into a normal poly is so meh.
I would rather they become some shared type atem representation. like chimera, magnet warriors, dark magician, poker knights, they were artwork similar stat illusionists.
5:00 I just realized the fusions dont have the "also counts as a phantom beast" part from the earlier translations. I think the original chimera is supposed to have Phantom Beast in its japanese name (or whatever words they use for the archetype in japan). So do these cards still count as phantom beasts?
Oh no, Arcana Force 0 - The Fool just got extra extra extra powercrept
Not at all.
No other card can u say "you fool" when they attack it
Ey there is always the chance they add it to duel links, bandit Keith with light ruler was kinda rogue on that last event.
Rare Estelle profile picture. Have to shoutout Legend of Heroes when I see it. My fav game series ^^

But do they care?
@@seanr.6498 They've updated all the other signers decks. They're also due for a light attribute duelist set; I don't see why not
By 'retread', you mean 'retrain', right? Sounds interesting though
@@kryzethx That's what I mean, although I guess it wouldn't technically be a retrain, since I don't think any of Ruka's cards from the anime actually got printed in the OCG/TCG
@@kryzethx Correction: I was looking at her anime cards; most of her monsters were printed in the physical card game
These cards do look pretty neat overall.

I love these cards so much and seeing these retrains gives me hope for the silent family to get some good support
What is the silent family
@@riroufudo silent swordmen silent magician and silent paladin
I wish the Silents had more as well, and were more affordable.
Yeah maybe there should new LV support as a whole
i really liked the LV cards like the Horus, saw the new horus archetyp sadly they do not mention the black flame dragon ;D

Okay I was skeptical but this Illusion archetype actually seems super fun. Can't wait to pick them up!
King of Phantom Beasts can be used with Beast and Fiend monsters, so people have been playing with it in Infernity.
i love when we get a new archetype AND the monster art looks cool!
A field spell like zombie world could be really busted in this archetipe. You can set it up, superpolly the field away into the big chimera, get in for a shitone of damage and win in the spot
Oh boy, Spellcaster 2 to also put in the bin next to Dragon 2. Now to wait another 6 years for the Gizmo Type so we can have Machine 2.
As a fan of old yugioh video games, I am really happy for this new type.
The illusion type seems very interesting! Can't wait to see more illusion monsters coming out!
Interesting to see a new monster type again, hoping to see what interesting things come out of it and it's interaction with older cards
Man I just remember the first 3 decks released back when I was a kid . Joeys deck, yugis deck, and Kaibas deck. (Hope I spell the names right been a min) but the nightmare magician reminded me of dark magician and I respect they made a illusion version

They could go Yugi or Pegasus route 🤔
A coatl! I love those feathery sneks. This is glorious.
Ooh, I want to play that Illusion Magician in my Spell Counter Magician deck.
"Time to make up a new Type for another Blue-Eyes archetype."
"Why not just use Wyrm?"
"How about NO!"
Ah yes, my favorite archetype, Bermofet.
I'll be sad if illusion faceless mage dosent get a illusion version
Now we need to get the old ‘Castle Of Dark illusions’ strategy in on this archetype. It’s perfect for it!
I haven’t played since Snycro monsters were added
I let out an audible “Holy shit” after you read Nightmare Magician’s effect
This takes me back to the days i used to play chimera deck in school just because i thought Gezzele was so badass looking
Always looking forward to more old cards in modern ways
Hope we get to see you go over the Shinobird support, as a longtime Spirit fan
finally, mystical sheep #2 support
If I am reading that right, even if you attack the illusion monster the no destruction effect kicks in, meaning you can attack over illusion beast
Random mexican here to confirm MR ZEEEEEEF's first pronunciation of Cornfield Coatl is pretty much it. As far as I recall, most words that end with "tl" are pronounced as the "tle" in "mantle."

Where is my retrain of all the Phantom Beasts now? Rock Lizard be dyin
Bermofet
The new Gazelle and Berfomet card arts 👌
they finally added illusionists from literally the first chapter of duelist kingdom
Oh, I KNOW exosisters are gonna have a field day with these new monsters
When I clicked into this I was expecting Relinquished type cards I never really considered Gazelle, Berformet, Chimera as "Illusion style" monsters.
This mark the first time that new monster type been made since cyberse type monsters
We need a Summoner of Illusions retrain

SPELLCASTERS 2: ILLUSION BOOGALOOO
Hopefully illusion is able to carve out more of a vissual niche for its self as more cards are revealed, other wise its going to end up like wyrm were its more a mechanical way of printing cards without having to consider the powerful support that already exists. Cyberse and psychic did a good job in my opinion, bringing a digital and cyberpunk style to yugioh that was underdevloped. But i do feel stuff like this points to set rotaion being needed in yugioh beofre we start getting "arachnid" "Soldier" "vehcial" and other such card types because it becomes to hard to design cards in warior insect or machine because of the preexsisting support
lets see and wait when we will have more monsters from the type illusion than from the pyro typ like the wyrm type did :D:D
you can only summon from Extra or GY tho
I feel like these cards are perfect examples why Yugioh would benefit from keywords it’d save a whole lot of space if they just didn’t have to right all that battle destruction stuff on each illusion monster
Thats never going to change unfortunately cuz then Konami would have to reprint every single card in existence which is not feasible and would probably make all the older prints lose their value completely
Why does Chimera get new cards and support, but Summoned Skull just has different summon variants?
Illusion r def going be very good to play with I def like that first card thay show def a play extender
The Kash players gonna love those lvl 7s
I like that the Illusion monsters all have a millenium eye. I hope they all keep that in some way.
So… reminds me of the Gaia support from a while back, but with yet another of Yugi’s monsters and actually has ways to interact with the opponent and has a way to recover from a board wipe.
There's a problem, the Illusion Beast doesn't have the clause of being treated as a Phantom Beast, when cuz of the Japanese text, it's supposed to be a Phantom Beast as well but it ain't
this sounds like the perfect type for a retrained Shapesnatch :)
Might use Chimera for my Branded deck.
The artwork is ready nice on all these cards
regarding the pronunciation of coatl, yeah it's koh-ah-tl, but the tl in coatl is a fun sound that doesn't exist in english. y'know how, to make a t sound, you block airflow with your tongue, build up pressure, and letting up the tongue makes that sound? well, if you try to do that but you keep the tip of the tongue on the roof of your mouth like you do with L, and release the pressure by moving the body of the tongue back instead so air can go through your cheeks around your tongue, it makes the tl in coatl. it's cool c:
That's interesting! I did come across a few pronunciations that were too difficult for me, but I think this might've helped lol
Im happy you got a sponsered vid doug.... but im heartbrokern it wasnt for the altergeist cards 😢
Berfomet is a fiend monster. I wonder if it's something we can sneak into Labryrinth.
I like how most of yugi monster got a retrain of the original
Something tells me dream mirror is gonna receive something like this
Coatl is pronounced like the English word coat, but after the 't' sound you let air out of your mouth with your tongue touching the roof of your mouth (not a phonetic used in English). It's a Nahuatl (pronounced nah-hwat[air sound]) word and you'd probably be fine just saying "coat" if you don't want to learn a new sound to make with your mouth; pronouncing the 'l' like an English 'l' is usually seen as the most cringy option when trying to pronounce words with the 'tl' sound, so coat-ull is probably the worst option, whatever you choose.
Also fun fact: the little salamanders that Gentlemander is based off of are axolotls which is also a Nahuatl word! It's perhaps best pronounced a-SHOW-lote with English phonetics (you would also have to learn the Nahuatl 'x' sound if you wanted to pronounce it 100% accurately).
took you long enough weve known about these for alteast a month now
So some illusion monsters are walking snatch steals right?
Still, very curious about this new type
7:29 you can reveal Sanwitch to special summon sangan/witch and their effects will activate once they hit the grave
You could already do that sort of thing with Fusion Deployment, but the main difference for this card is that it can summon monsters from the Extra Deck
Poor phantom beasts just sittin there on the sidelines.
They've added so many new types they should add a new attribute instead.
I also think they should open up divine beast type and divine attribute to other monsters than the gods. But they can keep the gods special if they want by leaving them as the only monsters to be both divine attribute and divine beast type. Others will be divine attribute and have a normal type like spellcaster or warrior and others will be divine beast type but be dark attribute or light or fire attribute for example.
They can make the new hypothetical attribute the opposite of divine since all attributes have an opposite.
I mean there is only a certain number of elements, what would you add on to the 7 attributes we have? The opposite of divine maybe, what would that be called?
The Wicked, the Sacred Beasts, and the Aesir were originally DIVINE in their respective canons, but Konami changed it likely because other monsters based on deities were not DIVINE.
The opposite of divine could be Abyssal and type being abyssal, dreadful or pagan beast as to represent the "fake divinity" and make the Egyptian god cards the true deities of the game maybe? 🤔
It's weird to not see ©1996 Kazuki Takahashi on the cards now
With lots of archetypes having cards like Mirror Knight to stop effects going off, Black Rose Dragon desperately needs new upgrades with inspiration from RDA, BW, etc.
Personally I think they should have just made illusion a sub type instead of a main type. You know, like toon, spirit, gemini, union, tuner, etc. They all or mostly have that ability of neither monsters being destroyed by battle so just make illusion a sub type with that universal effect.
There's one additional fusion for this archetype in the following set too.
Cmiiw, you can use branded fusion with albaz and gazelle to summon lindwurm then search 1 illusion monster out of eff of gazelle.. seems pretty nice tech for branded
I’m surprised this video didn’t even mention the New Berfomet Fusion that Came Out! No recognition what so ever for the Lvl 6 Multi Attacker!
I feel like "Illusion" type monsters are somehow related to the old games "Dream" type monsters.
I think a new chimera archetypal card as a replacement for polymerization would be a big benefit to the deck (yes, I know the have one), it might make people run the OG fusion materials if it wasn't just vanilla poly. OG Berfomet into a normal poly is so meh.
These are going to be SO GOOD going 2nd
4:52 shouldn’t new Chimera say (but it is still treated as a “Phantom Beast” monster)?
I want my baby Yubel to have some love with this new archetype
I would rather they become some shared type atem representation. like chimera, magnet warriors, dark magician, poker knights, they were artwork similar stat illusionists.
5:00 I just realized the fusions dont have the "also counts as a phantom beast" part from the earlier translations. I think the original chimera is supposed to have Phantom Beast in its japanese name (or whatever words they use for the archetype in japan). So do these cards still count as phantom beasts?
