Wait the knightmares have music symbolism? I’ve never noticed that, that’s really cool and a neat way to, no pun intended, link them to the orcust with their heavy orchestra and brass aesthetic
Sick vid! Just need to get this off my chest: The Knightmare effects are mismatched compared to the Mekk-Knights they once were. This is really pissing me off. Purple and Mermaid both fetch cards from deck. Orange and Goblin both summon stuff from hand. Red and Cerberus both pop monsters Yellow and Phoenix both pop backrow Indigo and Unicorn are kind of a stretch, but I guess Indigo "shuffles" around the field Green and Gryphon both recur cards from GY This is such a missed opportunity and I'm really fuck mad about it now thx for coming to my ted talk/autistic outburst :)
This is how I feel when I look at raptite and analyzer isn’t on top, and leonite has seeker and dragite has analyzer. They could’ve just matched the fucking colors but nooo
@@sleepyygo The reason that raptite doesn't have analyzer on its back is because analyzer is a level 4, whereas Researcher (2) + Main deck Raptite (4) = Big Raptite, hence the two sharing the card art. Seeker (2) + Main deck Leonite (4) = Big Leonite (6). Analyzer(4) + Main deck Dragite (4) = Big Dragite. Also, if they matched the colours, you would not be able to see seeker on top of dragite lol. A similar thing can be seen with yang zing monsters: Yazi (7) shares design elements with Jiatou (2 tuner) and Taotie (5 non-tuner), or Baxia (8) sharing design elements with Chiwen (1 tuner), Bi'an (3 non tuner) and suanni (4 non tuner)
I respect your points! This archetype single-handily made Links generic and desirable to play. Before them, only Spyral could extra link. But after, the floodgates were open! As an engine and usability-wise, I 100% agree. However, from an "Top decks" perspective, I've got to disagree.
Yeah I’m certainly mot arguing for knightmare as a deck, purely an archetype and the impact it had. It terms of strongest decks that would be a very different conversation, probably centered around zoodiac
You know an Archetype is busted when they made Geargia revive from the grave for a last hurrah. At least for me, managed to win quite a few locals with Knightmare Geargia.
Really strong archetype, but realistically because they’re so old at this point we can only really speculate how they would be meta warping/powerful in comparison to crazy strong and splashed modern archetypes
@@sleepyygo Dragon Rulers are the only archetype which had Every.Single.Card banned at one point, not even mentioning them as a comparison is insane They were so good, that in every format that had more than 1 legal, they were the best deck also imagine how insane they would be with rokkets, absorouter is a 7 that you can send with ravine which you search with the rulers, router gets you the lv1 tuner which summons router back, etc. Also dracosacc spam with auroradon is possible The Rulers are imo clearly stronger than the Knightmares
@@jakob1809 this is actually inaccurate. The dragon rulers when they actually all got banned wasn’t because they were actively ruining the format, they had actually fallen off. The only reason they all actually got put from 1>0 was a preemptive hit from konami who was afraid of the deck paired with dark matter dragon. I stated my opinion on the matter, in terms of impact, and I can respect yours, but please don’t misrepresent with falsifications.
@@sleepyygo they fell off because the babies were all banned and the big rulers all at 1, and even then they, as you said, wouldve been a very threatening deck with dark matter
@@jakob1809 i don’t dent the strength of dragon rulers. But the archetype knightmare defined not only links as a mechanic, and the vrains era as a whole, but enabled the entire era of orcust, which had a dominant reign for a wide amount of time. I don’t discount the rulers, but I would say there is an argument to be made against them, this is my argument. Tis all.
While Knight.ares were fantastic, I don't think they were really the best archetype in Yugioh. It was more that the link mechanic was powerful and they made up the majority of good links at the time.
Knightmares are cool, but are you impliying messi is the best soccer player in history? Because I'm pretty sure he's not even the best to play for barcelona
Yes , that is pretty OBVIOUSLY the case. No player has scored more for a single club , won more trophyes for a single club , provided more assists and scored more goals in a year . I don't know what even is your comparison/alternative

Its sick right!
The Whole World Legacy Lore has some Aesthetic Symbolism.
Can't understate Cerberus's ability to create loops and ftks with topologic bomber dragon too
To think there could have been ONE MORE...

@@sleepyygo Yeah, there's a lot you can find out about decks by just studying the art. It's super interesting!
I have 3 of these I had no idea what the hell a link monster was when I got them out of packs
This Chanel needs more subs such great content !
🥰
I wish Knightmare had more Main Deck support.
I agree, the iblee and idlee artwork is so cool, i wish they had expanded on it more so
It would be, if I may, quite a *Knightmare.*

@@denisvodovozov1099 it is free at three copies though.
If it did then there would be even less of a chance mermaid would become unbanned.

Hey guys, guess what?
Guess who's back, back again
"Unicorn is the best linkmonster ever printed."
Firewall Dragon though.
From a splash ability standpoint at least
@@sleepyygo I agree on that point. It's powerlevel is what keeps it lower for me.
@@plzcme434 it’s def not as batshit broken as some of the link monsters they’ve decided to print

Clickbait title but good video.
Title is just the subject of the video, not a fan of clickbait sir
Not even click bait, like there is a very high likelihood a player has some knightmares in their extra. So as an archetype that's damn good
Who else pronounces them like "Kuh-nightmare"?
no one
...you do know that knight and night are pronounced the same way, right?
