This video was a passion project that was rotting in my brain for over a year before I even started uploading. I never thought I would actually make it a reality. After finally doing so, it probably should have stayed that way. The handtrap/boardbreaker “testing” section is never going to be featured again. As I realized how redundant it was after putting the first duels together. Other than that, feedback is appreciated. If you think about it optimistically, we can only go up from here. Vote for the next entry in the series if you haven’t already with this poll link. I’ll be doing them all eventually in descending order of the results. Also leave in the comments other archetypes you’d like to see covered in the future.

The idea of Graydles chilling and taking bits- but only working amongst their own mostly, is a great opportunity to Roswell photobomb the games continuity. I love it; hopefully Konami was as on it as you when the new support comes a few years out.
just yesterday I thought I would rework my graydle deck a bit and I stumbled upon this... I definitely applaud the passion (especially the amazing card names^^) and would love this archetype to get new support. my current build has bahrastos and a couple r3nk enablers also an xyz armor package lol. but it would be nice to play it pure. I tried engines like penguin in the past and the new ice barrier support looks great but... I feel like those decks don't need graydles and are better off pure
Personally, I'd say if you're aiming to make this support seem realistic, i would err away from making reference to other cards or archetypes, or be very subtle about it. Konami tends to be pretty deliberate with the cards they relate to one another thematically, often with a metacontextual reason behind it. Otherwise i really like the video concept and execution, i appreciate the obvious effort put into the editing especially
Imma be a 🤓 and point out some mistakes in your card text as someone who makes lots of custom cards for fun. 1: CAPITALIZATION. Most of it is actually good. But "Deck" should also be capitalized. 2: "during either player's turn" is redundant as (Quick effect) is literally the same thing 3: speaking of quick effects, spells and traps dont actually have quick effects. Traps are automatically assumed to be activatable during either player's turn, including GY effects, unless specified otherwise. While spells always have some kind of trigger condition to do stuff that isnt an ignition. So that quick synchro could be tied to something like "if your opponent special summons a monster: blah pop blah" 4: trigger conditions always have a ":" after them, not a ",", unless it is part of the effect. The template for a card is: Trigger condition: cost; effect, then, if X, effect 2 5: what the heck is an activate spell/trap from deck? I think what you're intending is "place a continuous spell/trap from deck", not "activate". The only time you can immediately activate a s/t from deck (or from anywhere for that matter) is the specific wording "take 1 X from Y and either add it to your hand or activate it" that metaverse and true dracos have. But even then, it only works for contis and field spells, and it doesnt actually activate on-activation effects of cards (metaverse doesnt trigger light stage search for example). So the card should be "set 1 graydle spell from your deck to your field". And "take 1 graydle trap from your deck and either activate it if it is a continuous trap, or set it to your field." 6: "Aqua-type" doesnt exist anymore. Newer cards just say the type itself and dont add the "-type" suffix anymore. Look at any generic type searcher as an example. Btw i dont think wyvern is that strong that it would cause aegirine to spike up in price since it's just a go second boardbreaking synchro, which there are plenty off, and needs equip spells. Due to that one rabbit pendulum's wording it also resets itself if it banishes itself. Not sure if you noticed that. Anyway thanks for reading my extremely minor nitpicks of some custom cards created non seriously.
I literally just searched to hunt "similar" effects in an effort to Frankenstein effects into a coherent PSCT. It's not super intuitive to translate effect ideas to PSCT. Especially with all the cards that have outdated text. I noticed Bee Lancer reset itself by the last match, so I adjusted it to banish itself facedown to avoid triggering itself. Another case of needing to find other mechanical rulings in order to get a card in a functional state. This game rocks.
29:30, illegal card position play, graydle slime special summons other graydles in defense position when its special summon effect is used only, you cannot put wyvern in attack, it has to be in defense.

Time for a long form video on a card game i love on cards i find interesting and vaal is in the thumb nail time to make popcorn
The second I heard this was going to be a video on the channel I was hyped to watch this! I really hope Graydle gets more support in the future!
Im Glad UA-cam Randomly Recommended Me This Video
As a graydle lover i approve

*audible sigh*
ŴĤĔŇ!!?!?!1!!1!1
Showing the graydles hanging around other archtypes because they're essentially body snatchers is such a clever idea that Konami could make BANK on
You did a great job with this! A bit different than I expected by making Pendulums for the deck but it was neat!! The art was funny as well!!
Yo this is tight? What the hell

konami really was ahead of its time by making AI generated cards so early.
2 hours ur brazy for this ngl
