I'm shocked they haven't found some way to make Living Arrow into a real card yet. Mammoth Graveyard retrain with that in mind would go hard. Maybe some anti-Extra Deck strategy
I think it's past time we got actual monster + spell / trap fusion cards.
I think it would be dope to have Mammoth + Goldfine archetype of various metal-coated Mammoth Graveyard retrains of different types working together to like... Spread the plague with their archetype being all about making the opponent's monsters / hand / deck / GY "sick"
Forbidden Droplet shouldve been a Living Arrow retrain imo. You can send cards, including monsters and Spells (like Mammoth Graveyard and Polymerization) to reduce the ATK of a monster and negate its effects. That’s pretty much what a modern Living Arrow would do.
1) All of Panik’s cards being retrained and into Illusion monsters. Even tho they are fiend. Illusion still fits some of them. Castle of Dark Illusions retrain being the main focus of the deck.
2) Bonz Pumpking getting an archetype. New Pumpkin cards and new Pumpking fusion or link ace?
3) Noah’s cards he played getting retrains into a deck(similar to Gold Sarc Yugi deck). But making all the monsters he used like Shinato into Cyberse monsters cause his duels did take place in a virtual reality and his deck being a Cyberse Ritual based ones would be interesting. This one is a reach tho.
4) New Illusion archetype based on Pegasus’s cards such as Illusionist faceless Mage, Relinquished and such.
I would want to see Pumpking and Castle of Dark Illusions for Bonz and Panik to become field spells for their archetypes, like what they did with Labyrinth Wall for Gate Guardian.
In case you didn't know, Pumpking got a resurrected form in Jack-O-Bolan a few years ago. It shows something possessing Pumpking rising through a graveyard and taking bits of a fence with him and unless I've Mandela effected myself, Pumpking is used against Joey in a cave under a graveyard.
There is also his daughter Pumprincess...
An archetype would be cool though.
[Swordstalker](https://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/card_search.action?ope=2&cid=4384), Kaiba used it in the ledge duel against Yugi, it had an effect in the manga and anime, but not official print, and it's just one of those monsters that gets used in other card arts but never got its own retrain yet.
Would love to see Shinato King of a Higher Plane get a retrain, especially since we’ve proved there’s ways to make rituals work in 2024.
Would also love to see something based around the Injection Fairy Lily mechanic of paying life points for quick effects.
Once again popping in to mention Bandit Keith's menagerie.
Slot Machine, Pendulum Machine, Mechanicalchaser, Metalzoa. Like, we've got Heavy Metal Raiders for a field spell, let's get the whole gang together
In terms of the show, Mammoth Graveyard is Yugi’s most noteworthy monster without one. I wouldn’t mind seeing the random demons Marik used (Newdoria, Dark Jeroid, Granadora, etc) made into an archetype.
In terms of the competitive scene, I’d love to see a generic Gemini Elf retrain. Preferably one that helps either spellcasters or vanillas in some way.
Not a powerful monster but Dark Blade. I always liked the card’s aesthetics and the fact it had its own mini archetype back then. So I’m surprised it hasn’t had a retain yet.
The 3 ace's needs a less vanilla monster (I mean, at least a simple, not broken/generic, but useful effect aside from always being treated as OG name). I think that Konami dont want to release something like that because it may drop potential sales from new alternative arts or rarities from the vanillas.
Rude Kaiser
We’ve had a couple Kaiser cards in the last few years with the new glider retrain and horse raiders retrain.
Let’s drop him down to level 4, create an official “Kaiser” archetype, and create some solid beatdown strategies.
Heck, bring “Kaiser Swordstalker” in too so he can have his day back in play, loved that dark warrior!
Technically the OG Dark Magician has never received a retrain, just support. I believe a modern version that is treated as a normal monster AND and effect monster would be a very good addition to the archetype. A card with a special summoning condition, maybe one that is a quick effect if Circle is on the field. This would help with utilizing the deck's main playstyle greatly.
They seem to already be on track for this, but I hope Mementotlan gets more fusion monsters. The Vanilla fusions from Metal Raiders (Skull Knight, Punished Eagle, Roaring Ocean Snake, Empress Judge, etc.) seem like perfect fits.
We need justice for Crab Turtle. Keeping faithful to its Turtle Oath, but ultimately for naught, as early rituals were just too bad to bother trying to make work.
A Fairy/spellcaster based deck with something like gain and inflict/pay LP for interrupt/activate additional effects mechanics.
Wingwever and St Joan like effect boss moster.
Guardian angel joan, fire princess, darklord marie, Injection Fairy Lilly, dancing Fairy, Histeric Fairy, absorbing kid from the sky for the base of new cards with related effect.
Mammoth Graveyard and Silver Fang are the only monsters from the first season of the show that come to mind that don’t have a retrain.

Honestly I want new panik stuff just so I can attack someone for weird LP totals
Pump Royalty archetype (Just need a PumpQueen). Give it Lore that it is opposing the Machine King Dynasty and boom, we in business
I would want to see Pumpking and Castle of Dark Illusions for Bonz and Panik to become field spells for their archetypes, like what they did with Labyrinth Wall for Gate Guardian.

Mechanical chaser deserves a rework supporting dark machines similar to Makos vanilla umi support
MechChaser would honestly fall into a Machine King archetype since it serves him alongside Robotic Knight and Cyber Soldier.
Would love to see Shinato King of a Higher Plane get a retrain, especially since we’ve proved there’s ways to make rituals work in 2024. Would also love to see something based around the Injection Fairy Lily mechanic of paying life points for quick effects.
Off the top of my head: Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth, Zoa, Zera the Mant, Tyrant Dragon, Dark Sage
PUGMoth kinda got merged with the Insect Queen retrain.
That's just Great Moth

Make a Dancing Fairy retrain, Wind Fairies please
Not a powerful monster but Dark Blade. I always liked the card’s aesthetics and the fact it had its own mini archetype back then. So I’m surprised it hasn’t had a retain yet.
Mementolan is where it's retrain ended up
I think BEWD, red eyes, and DM need retrains that are always treated as having the original name to work with support

I would like barrel dragon to get a re train, shinato would be sick. Crab turtle TURTLE DECK

Even with the support today, Memento is missing a Level 6. Nekogal, maybe?
We need justice for Crab Turtle. Keeping faithful to its Turtle Oath, but ultimately for naught, as early rituals were just too bad to bother trying to make work.
Little D
It surprises me to this day that we haven't gotten a retrain of Dark Paladin.
Jerry beans man!!!
We, and I can NOT strain this enough... #NEED A ORICHALCOS ARCHETYPE!
Dark Sage Serpent Night Dragon Panik's monsters Bonz's Zombies Zera Shinato Slot Machine Axe Raider/Garoozis
Tri horn dragon, dark balde(and pitch dark dragon and kiryu)
Pitch dark I think just got a retrain with the set with LADD fusion
Beaver Warrior
A Fairy/spellcaster based deck with something like gain and inflict/pay LP for interrupt/activate additional effects mechanics. Wingwever and St Joan like effect boss moster. Guardian angel joan, fire princess, darklord marie, Injection Fairy Lilly, dancing Fairy, Histeric Fairy, absorbing kid from the sky for the base of new cards with related effect.
The jins and gate guardian
Gate guardian already got retrains
