Give me a "heishen" from forbidden memories card. Have it allow me to view my opponents field, and then let it allow me to pick a hand from 20 cards of my choice. That's how it works in the game and we all played it.
Frogger, LV4 Aqua 500 ATK 500 DEF If there are no other cards in the same column as this card, it can attack directly. Each time this card deals battle damage, double its ATK. Cannot be destroyed except by battle with a monster in the same column. Basically, the opponent has to put an obstacle in front of Frogger to stop it. By the 5th direct attack, Frogger will have dealt over 8000 damage, just like how Frogger in the game has to jump over 5 lanes to reach the river. And yes, if the opponent puts a S/T in the same column, Frogger can't attack directly, but it can still attack monsters and get its boost that way. It would be gimmicky, but not in an OP way.
For the Castlevania IP the Belmonts (and Renards maybe) need more love. Theres only vampire cards and a single vampire hunter. The Metal Gear deck should be a Boss deck with the goal of summoning the different iterations of the Mecha, and the ultimate boss is Senator Armstrong.
Personally I'd like to see a archetype based on Bloody roar. It can functionally work like werewolves in MTG where once certain conditions are met, you can return the human warrior monster to the deck and special summon the animal, Beast-warrior and after the turn ends you can bring the warrior back to the field and activate an affect when it's summoned from the deck. This also goes for when the beast warriors are summoned from the deck.
They did..most were early cameos but there are archtypes as well. Lots of Gradius including random enemies you likely did not realize were Gradius characters. Look it up, there are a lot including Solar Flare Dragon, Ducker Mobile Cannon and so many more. Also the Gradius cards themselves and B.O.S.S. archtype. You have Ninja Gaiden characters in the Ninja archtype. Tactical Espionage Expert is clearly supposed to be a young Solid Snake. One of my favorites for how game lore accurate it is is Vampire Hunter. In the OCG it is Vampire Killer. Despite being a warrior type with an effect meant to counter rhe Vampire archtype, it is also part of the archtpe as a Dark, Vampire monster. The background has a refrence to castlvania the structure itself. In the midground and to the side is a white haired gut holding a whip which is extended foreward into the foreground with an aura. People recognize rhw humanoid as a refrendlxe to one of a few potential characters from the Castlevania series and debate which one. I do feel the refrence is important to a degree buy I think this is where people lose the point. I personally feel it's an amalgamation if several protagonists for the representation but reguardless it isn't actually the monster of the card. The whip is placed front and center, in focus. It has a dark aura. It's called Vampire Killed in the OCG. The card IS the whip. In castlevania lore for the origional timeline it's revealed that Leon Belmont had a fiance named Sara Trantoul. She was captured by the Supreme vampire Walter Barnheart. Leon tried to save her but when he reached Walter it was revealed ge was too powerful and had already bitten her. He just liked to play games with skilled mortals to pass the time. Sara had yet to turn but was inevitable so she gave her life sacrificing herself so her soul could be absorbed into the Achemical whip and upgrade it. Because hers was rhe soul of a vampire it immediatly made any creature of the night susceptible to the whip powered by it, even Vampires as powerful as Walter. Leon used the whip to defeat him but it was revealed his friend Mathias set all this up so Leon could defeat Walter and he could rush in to steal Walter's own soul. He used this with the crimson stone and a pact with death to become an even more powerful vampire, eventually changing his name to Dracula. Leon swore he and his decendents would continue to hunt frown Vampires with Sara's soul whip, the Vampure Hunter, until he got proper vengence on Mathais. The card is a Vampire but also a weopon agaisnt Vampires that is a whip. This is why its a warrior type. It's not the weirder, its the whip. Its the Vampire Killer AKA Sara Trantoul. This is such a beautiful accurate deepcut for one card not even that focused on in its release and probably why people don't realize how much Konami really does utilize its other properties. They tend to do deep cuts and one offs buried in archtypes of origional cards. Also, the vendreds are a mix refrence of R.E. and Spawn. This is because Kazuki Takehashi was a HUGE spawn fan. Its not the first spawn refrence either as Zybyra the Dark is also one. Origionally it wasn't a duel monster card but America's greatest super hero in the season 0 manga. Yugi knew a kid who was often sickly and had a dad who would travel to the U.S. he woudl bring back merch of the kids favorite character, Zombyra, rhe greatest American comic hero. The kid got in a fight with his helicopter dad and went to fight punk teens in the park wearing a Zombyra mask. The kids were tagging the park but got real dangerous fast. Yugi used their paint can to create a maze kn yhe ground separating them from the punks then lit it. While yugi and friend fleed, the punks had to navigate the walls of fire to escape, getting burnt a lot. Lessons were learned by both father and son on their communication issues and things resolved nicely for neither to make a reappearance. The character of Zombyra was made into a duel monster card though and his effect refrences spawns Hell magic depletion. He is also featured on A Hero Emerges!, further refrencing his Spawn ties.
One of my favorite video game franchises of all time is Metal Slug. I have always been aware of and somewhat familiar with the plot of Metal Gear but didn't put togther that MS was in part a satire series of MG. 😂 A rebel army lead by a conniving dictator bent on world domination steals an experimental new ultra weopon from the unified world government. It is a one man interchangeable all terrain vehicle with a mini tank base form. It is easily and cheaply mass produced with endless possibilities for upgrade and versatility outfitting. All conventional attempts to reclaim the weapon and stop the enemy army including armed forces and espionage experts. The only thing now that can prevent the hostile takeover are the last resort crack commandos of the Pereguine Falcon and S.P.A.R.O.W.S. squadrons. It's up to them to single handedly fight their way through all enemy forces and dismantle General Morden's military operation before his fleet of metal slug operating soldiers secure the entire world. I'll be honest..as goofy as they can be..I'll take any of the P.F. boys and S. Girls over Snake any day. He may be a badass..but he's not thousands of soldiers, tanks, airplanes, submarines, zombies waves, yeti, grey alien, xenonorph alien, brain jacker, monster fish, sentient paracite plant, giant crab monsters, giant crab with a fucking cannon on its back, giant phychic alien brain monster, horror fish, mummy, mummy dog, flesh eating scarab, xenomorph hoard, xenomorph king, death cult and gigantic embodiment of all evil demon God defeating levels of badass. I can see him jumping out of a plane. I can even see him jumping out of a spaceship. Can I see him fighting a giant psychic alien brian monster experiment with a standard pistol and no protective gear upon reentry, win AND survive with not but a scratch!? Nope. Lol
Hell even FiendSmith is based on Devil May Cry. As for an IP I've always wanted to see a Bomberman deck, you can pull a volcanic and give your opp a token that burns them, but you can have his power ups as spells and the map as a field spell
As unlikely as it would be to actually happen, I would love to see an archetype based on the Contra/Probotector and/or Rocket Knight Adventures/Sparkster franchises.
Yu-Gi-Oh is one of the only modern franchises that is confident enough in its native IP to not be shoveling out collab after collab and the only explicit collaboration events being the odd JP exclusive promo card or some Gradius/Ninja cards that are well-integrated enough that they work within the context of Yu-Gi-Oh and aren't jarringly out of place. Rather than just being, like, "what if we just put Star Wars cards in the game and released Darth Vader and R2D2 and they're just Darth Vader and R2D2" they make Kozmo which is a brilliantly unique idea that works surprisingly well.
@robertst.pierre1341 That has nothing to do with the popularity of MTG like I was talking about. If MTG was on deaths door, you wouldn't have people spending tons of money trying to find a 1:1 copy of the 1 ring.
Check the description. If there's a music credit in there, it's from MassoBeats on TH-cam. If not, it's from a channel called Tama's Little Music Shop. These are the two primary sources for the background music that I use. I just slow down the original track in my video editor.
You only play as Solid Snake in 5 (one of which only briefly since he isn't the protagonist of MGS2) of the 8 mainline games. Big Boss and Solid Snake are separate people. You play as Big Boss in Snake Eater, not Solid Snake. You do not even play as Solid Snake any of the V footage you showed. The "judgement" aspect of Silent Hill you're talking about is only really a thing in much later, outsourced, often poorly received games of the series. It comes from a fundamental misunderstanding of Silent Hill 2's themes. It's not the TOWN doing that to them, SH2, it's the guilt of the main trio doing it to themselves. James even SAYS this outloud the final Pyramid Head confrontation, and you also see this in how it's a completely mundane, safe town for the carefree child Laura. Also on a funny note, this isn't something you could have possibly included in the video because of the timeing, but former Yu-Gi-Oh product designer Matt Bell recently revealed in an interview with MBTYuGiOh that the Dream Mirror archetype was inspired by mirror motif and the Other World of the Silent Hill franchise. Granted, yeah it's NOTHING like the Gradius archetype stuff or even the inclusion of say Goemon characters into the Ninja archetype. Still, I think it's a cool touch that is worth mentioning.

I'd personally cut its level in half, just to fit the rest of the wider Frog theme.
Give it a move spell card, trap cards to reborn/move it, cards the just flat out move parts of the board for both players, and we're gold
You deserve to have such a massive channel. Amazing content
Konami lacks the management to coordinate all these things.
For the Castlevania IP the Belmonts (and Renards maybe) need more love. Theres only vampire cards and a single vampire hunter.
The Metal Gear deck should be a Boss deck with the goal of summoning the different iterations of the Mecha, and the ultimate boss is Senator Armstrong.
nah ultimate boss should be big boss or solid snake, no meme shit

So, dragonmaids?
I was thinking more gladiator beasts.
Ash Blossom bait
Bomberman link monsters when, Konami?
I want a Suikoden archetype with Monsters that you can summon to your back-row just like Vision HEROs.
Fire Fist has the same source lore inspiration as Suikoden.
Ok but how would you have the la li lu le lo in to the metal gear cards

I want future frog support to focus on the Wetlands beatdown aspect.
Beatdown decks have 20 years out of date.
What this supposed to accomplish
Please go work at Konami 🙏🏼 we need people like you there
I feel like Sky Strikers style of deck would be great for a Metal Gear deck
imo make the metal gear villains a kaiju

So you saying MTG, the undisputed #1 card game has no confidence in it's I.P.? Just say you hate guest characters instead of grandstanding.
@GiltiatheDarkNight didn't wotc just lay off a bunch of people ?
They did. They also thrown out a lot of their product to a landfield. People literally found sealed product on the garbage theme parks (landfields).

@@GiltiatheDarkNight Yes, MtG has no confidence in its IP.
I'm curious if you'll do a video on other existing archetypes, based on other properties
I WANT MY SILENT HILL DECK, CON SARNIT! And more Parodius 'Tsu support!
definitely would love a silent hill deck
Okay, I like them all, interesting ideas🤔
Forget Konami for a second; give me a list of the songs you've been using for your videos. Need that for my sleepy/ study time playlist.
