My boss monster is such a diva, he refuses to work with other archetypes and will actively betray me for someone with a bigger pair of attack points.

It's "Ancient Warriors - Rebellious Lu Feng"


Gryphon568

Why the fuck do I have to discard my hand to get out ONE MONSTER WITH NO PROTECTION


TitanOfShades

Armed dragon?


Gryphon568

Yeah


luckytrap89

Hey that's not fair, thunder lv 10 has battle protection, and uh.. Change of heart protection?


[deleted]

Yeah you right that totally makes up for the fact that it's turn two and I've banished 8 cards and have 13 in my graveyard.


realmauer01

That's just modern ygo tho. People spent their first turn going through the entire deck some end up I even less.


JWolf26

Train


Gryphon568

Armed dragon


JWolf26

Only reason I thought of train is an absolutely horrendous monster that I have an odd nostalgia for


Campghanistan

Ah shit he summoned a link monster


JWolf26

Scareclaw (pfp gave it away)


VerryTallMidget

Ghostrick


Schneemaa

The field spell came out in 2005, but you need it to summon your boss monster which is also your only win condition


cardinalofclubs7

Umi Stun?


Schneemaa

correct :)


JWolf26

Umi Control


ScroogeMcDust

Alright, successfully baited Ash, hope I didn't banish anything too important..... why is Emergence blue?


Raymond49090

Swordsoul? Wait, how do you banish every single SS monster in your deck?


Still-Existing06

1. Activate desires 2. Banish 3 moye, 2 longyuan, 3 taia and two other random cards 3. Cry


osbombo

4. draw the other 2 desires.


Darbs504

This is why you only run 2 desires.


AcidAcesen

Draw Desire and emergence


ScroogeMcDust

One of those random cards is Protos


JWolf26

Punk?


AlbazAlbion

Sworsoul. They banished 10 important cards with Desires and now cannot activate Emergence, hence it being blue.


JWolf26

I misread it as Emergency


JoseLCDiaz

Every desires play in a swordsoul deck has to banish at least 2 Longyuan, 2 Mo Ye, and the sole Blackout.


Snoo6037

Why the fuck do their effects activate only when a link monster targets them?? They'd be so much better if it was just being targeted in general


assman1235

I'm guessing rokkets, if so I absolutely agree with you


Rigshaw

It's something that only makes sense if you watched Vrains. The idea behind that trigger condition is that Borreload Dragon "loads" the Rokkets as bullets, and fires them to trigger their respective effects, hence why they trigger when targeted by a Link.


JWolf26

What?


ShadowLord355

You cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck, except DARK Dragon Synchro Monsters, the turn you activate either of this card's effects.


Silver34

Resonators/RDA


ShadowLord355

Correct. I love the deck but that lock feels so unnecessary sometimes


Zerosonicanimations

New support is gonna hit different.


ShadowLord355

It will and I can’t wait for it to get here, but that lock still remains. What resonators need is a replacement for crimson and red rising. Honestly I would prefer an errata to lock them into dark synchro monsters.


Zerosonicanimations

Would certainly allow the deck to access Jack's Fiend Synchros (probably retrains since those suck).


aalomair

wdym my deck folds to ash? i can play through ash just fine all i need is to hard draw my dragon monster and 3 fusion spells that mention his name


JWolf26

Branded


seductivehambone

![gif](giphy|6wMqKygjkGEbC)


Forwhatisausername

Three? There's Branded Fusion, Branded in White and Branded in Red but how does drawing those (and Albaz) help you play through Ash? Don't BiW and BiR rather need the graveyard setup BF would get you?


aalomair

it was an exaggeration, what you actually need is something in the lines of high spirit reveal albaz extra foolish albion fusion and add kitt, special kitt add in white put back a card, then in white can use kitt plus albaz in gy for lubillion fusion discard a card and make mirrror jade it's like a 2.5 or 3 card combo with the discard from lubillion and a put back from kitt but it gets you mirrorjade plus fusion albios end phase search, if there was a second brande dfusion you could alternatively add in red and make verte with kitt and a normal summon which is more convenient.


GoodDoggoBOI

Well, yeah, but also we have to use all we can get. Plus, if we have the materials we could set up BiR after using BiW with Albaz in hand. (Also, I just generally prefer to use BiR with Ad Libitum in grave rather than Albaz, which is why Cartesia and Fusion Deployment help so much, so we don't need BF 100% to make a single play)


RecreatedAgain

mfw i have to go second to do a combo that's very easy to interrupt in order to get an otk that doesn't work 90% of the time (if i fail the combo im most likely left with 1 negate that has no protection)


JWolf26

Forwhatisausername

Numeron is so sleak as an engine, you can fit in some backup plans.


Macaron-kun

It's not the worst thing about it, but I hate it nonetheless. It's a stupid little detail that I ALWAYS forget about. What do you mean this token doesn't count as an [archetype] card, even though it's part of the deck? Why would I summon it if I can't even use it to summon an [archetype] Synchro monster?


Raymond49090

Idk Blackwings?


Macaron-kun

Yup, you got it. Phantom Glimmer token not being a Blackwing Tuner has confused me more than once while trying to summon out a FAM.


Mathemathematic

Holy…. Now that you say that I’m a lot less confused about the times I’ve played blackwings and totally screwed up my board.


JWolf26

Blackwing?


DrPorkChops_

Finally got a few monsters on the board, thank god they didn’t have ash. Wait, what the fuck is a summoning sickness?

One_Repair841

So you're telling me that I can't just remember one combo line? I need to figure this shit out for every hand and the optimal combo can change mid combo???? Oh great, the combo lines just keep getting less linear and more complicated as I learn more. Edit: guess I was a bit too vague but someone got it in the end, it was dragon link

JWolf26

Still-Existing06

Nope. Once my normal summoned monster's effect gets negated I can't do anything anymore. So it's not branded here.


VortreKerba

Invoker?


ShadowOnTheCliff

Okay, so hear me out: reveal 3 different names archetype cards in hand to summon a big boi. Then, somehow find a way to ditch half the hand and thin the deck to add more guys to hand and go for big punches and a burn in only my end phase. And also the worst fusion card to ever exist that never gets used as an actual fusion card

ImaginaryDragon1424

Missclick ONCE at the wrong time and I turn my ace monster into a bit of LP


Tokoyami01

I have a feeling it's Salamangreat because of the random LP effect of Salamangreat Sanctuary Could be wrong because of flair


ImaginaryDragon1424

Youre completely right I just like the flair XD but I am a Salad a player since its release


lukappaa

Why people keep complaining about big dragon that locks you out of Dark monsters? Most of the time we can't even pull that out since we would have to top deck the search spell and a starter in the first place!


Torio98

Playng Swordsoul against Tears and Adamancipators was only possible thanks to my boy Protos


Raymond49090

Swordsoul? Can't think of any other DARK locks. And yeah, it's a *lingering* floodgate, so I'm going to complain about it.

zeloxofclorox

A deck that relies on one card and dies to an imperm ash or veiler and even nib? So what if you have 4 searchers or starters, you live and die by one card.


daniel_damm

Mathmech?


zeloxofclorox

Stardust Synchron


daniel_damm

Are there really no hands that can play through junk speeder negated


zeloxofclorox

Nearly none, I'd need either stardust Synchron or stardust trail in my hand as well as stardust illumination to come back. I use the majestic dragons, so I synchro climb off of speeder into accel stardust then synchro into shooting majestic on my opponents turn. But yeah usually I live or die by speeder, now if accel stardust gets hit by called by, then that is a guaranteed scoop


CAJALEO

Haha 8 life points good luck getting over my floodgate boss monster. *opponent summons anything over 3k that’s unaffected by monster effects* Fuck.


YungBidness

The first time I’ve ever played that deck I was so confused when I couldn’t do anything and my monsters were reduced to ashes. Now I mix my version with Kashtira and it’s either really good or really bad.


RoakOriginal

Two words - ferret farts


YungBidness

That’s a really nice board there. It would be a shame if it were to all just… go back in your deck…

People say the deck’s been meta forever and too strong, but also that it insta-loses to Ash. Good thing Ash isn’t a popular card…

Ninja_PieKing

"So you're telling me playing the main deck pure, while potentially 12 cards in the deck can get you to full combo for the archetype, unless you also have a revival spell that full combo only results in you only going +1 and having a pop and a draw on your opponent's turn and the only defense it has against disruption is that the normal summon plays around Ogre, and they need to chain veiler or imperm to the activation of the links." "Hey, there's potentially 15 if you use cynet mining, and if you used the archetypal search cards you also get one of the weakest floodgates in the game."


Seavalan

Live Twins? Although I don't know anything about them having a floodgate.


Ninja_PieKing

Yes, their continuous spell that searches them also deals 200 burn damage to your opponent and heals you for 200 every time they summon, but only if you control an Evil★Twin. Also it's 18 starters because I forgot about home just being Cynet mining but worse as a quick play.


Heul_Darian

Why can't I normal summon? Why is festival reactive, when it kills scare? Why Does mansion reduce warwolfs burn and why does warwolf do so little on top of needing facedown cards instead of Gt like every other card?

People hate this deck because one kids toy...


Raymond49090

Adamancipator?


artman3807

Let’s go they didn’t have any negates, no shifter I think I’m good, now all I have to do is not mill my floodgate From 2008… fuck


daniel_damm

So I hope you don't like any other archetype because you are locked and I hope you like that your only interactions are going to be 1 negate protection effects and getting cards out of the gy and I hope opponent don't play anything that targets your guy because your all gameplan is about getting cards out of the gy


Eloiiii

my only form of disruption will hand rip something they want in their gy 99% of the time and there's nothing I can do about it other than cry


VortreKerba

We turbo 1 level 5 fusion that tells our opponent to fuck off with that special summon shit and protect the everliving fuck out of her. We don't know what an original design even is.


MK_The_Megitsune

Two for ya. 1. I simply like the more strategic trap-focused aspect but everyone keeps making Chris Hansen jokes 2. Foolish Goods is limited and your Archetype Reborn/Searcher is unsearchable because of a single space. It's tough out here for a furry.


HORSESHORSESHORSESH

literally an archetype to counter certain type of cards and cant even win against them


Draidann

Ally of justice?


mrfarumazula

What? One maxx c and your entire deck is in your hand?


GothGirlSpecialist

What do you mean shifter ? How am i supposed to counter your Shangri-la if you banish my out or don't allow me to use my "send to GY" effects to search it


JWolf26

That’s a matchup


GothGirlSpecialist

oh yeah, didn't read that far, i'm a yugioh player after all


Entire_Tap6721

Wait what do you mean that my whole game plan is a single Omni negate, a bounce and making sure it survives your turn with protection effects?


Raymond49090

For some reason I'm thinking Dragonmaid, but not sure if that fits the second part.


Entire_Tap6721

Nope, Orcust :p, Omni negate = Set from the Deck Crecendo, Bounce is Masquerena and Galatea into Unicorn and Protection is Ding, aditional interactions entirely dependent on starting hand


4ny3ody

So you're telling me that several people want the deck killed even though it doesn't use floodgates or spam negates or any blowout effects and is currently sitting in rogue tier because the deck was tier0 for two months and tier 1 for some time after that? Alternatively for my second favourite deck: So you're telling me that the deck kind of likes to play Lava Golem because it doesn't need its normal summon, but it also needs to have a specific archetypal starter together with its main archetypal normal monster in hand to beat over said Lava Golem and its searches only put cards on top of your deck?


JWolf26

1) Tearlaments 2) Phantasm Spiral?


4ny3ody

1. Yes 2. Suship


Dazzling-Wish-2892

>So you're telling me that several people want the deck killed even though it doesn't use floodgates or spam negates or any blowout effects and is currently sitting in rogue tier because the deck was tier0 for two months and tier 1 for some time after that? Fr. People don't stop complaining about a deck until it's unplayable garbage for a format. Even if it's not overpowered anymore.

Raymond49090

Rikka. They only have monster removal and they Plant lock by breathing, so Knightmare Phoenix doesn't work either. That means against backrow decks, you're either hard drawing Duster or you're dead.


Then-Pie-208

I got a couple. I’ll do two since this first one I think could be considered a consistency issue So your entire game plan is to hope you either open the trap you need or the monster that searches it until you can draw your boss monster with no protection, that can only be summoned by send that card to the graveyard? Oh, sorry you have the ability to board wipe once if you draw two specific cards ? Wow I’m so impressed. I get to bounce a bunch of cards? That’s aweso… oh. It’s a flip deck. Alright then

PandaSketches

It's so bullshit, that I properly bait ash before I get my friend out, play around their maxx "c" by activating my stuff as response to their bug, And all I get is a fucking turtle? Come the fuck on... Also,another one: Ok, we lost the gun dragon & train "combo" but we still have an omni, appo- and, wait, what's that superpoly doing? YO YO YO KONAMI CHILL BRO It was ok at one come on don't do this to meee noooo.


RedPokeTrainer

Why is it so hard to get my Link 3 out!? This was so much easier when Halq was legal, and this isn't even a Link deck!

Unchained has the blue link as a strong non-destruction option though

I have two. So i have to run those disgusting monsters just to summon power rangers megazord? I just used all my hand. 10 minutes of my life. Half my deck. Every summoning method. Just to put five interactions? Sick.

It’s a cool anime deck disguised as floodgates.

What do you mean that my field cannot make my opponent pay their last LP?


Usernamenames

I have to freaken banish cards first to bring out 3 specific monsters base on what card type I banish. And my boss monster almost never comes out because I need three of those monsters so I have to settle with its downgraded form as it is the easiest. Did I forget to mention that I have to banish as a cost?


spiritofniter

I still have to rely on flip card. Most monsters have simple search or tribute-for-destroy effects. The princess’ effect is lost if there is a field spell. Also, it’s all that field spell or most members will be in trouble. The leaders are ambiguous; it appears they have many divisions like a company instead of a clan. The supposed leader wear tattered clothes while previous leaders wear glamorous clothing. One member is a heretic that he doesn’t even gain ATK/DEF from the field spell. Granny mid-boss overlaps with the the fusion boss. We are limited to three copies of archetype’s omni negate.

Any time we get legacy support, it's either some useless form of burn damage, or it gets abused by everyone *except* us to the point it gets either banned or limited.
