Galaxy-Eyes - Failed Cards, Archetypes, and Sometimes Mechanics in Yu-Gi-Oh
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 тра 2024
- Out of all the cards with the “Insert Color” Eyes card, what even is Galaxy-Eyes? Galactic-Eyes that see space? Eyes that look like a galaxy? Whatever it is, it certainly doesn’t mean a successful archetype. Konami has been supplying Great Value Blue-Eyes with support for over a decade, and the deck has had little to show for it outside of being an incredible deck to play at your locals. With the 184 billion Xyzs given to the deck and the easy access to make Rank 8s, it’s honestly surprising that the archetype hasn’t impacted any of the metas. Well, It doesn’t help that the archetype’s support is split between Galaxy, Photon, and even Cipher monsters for who-knows-what. So what stalled the Galaxy-Eyes from becoming a beast? You’ll find out in today’s video why Galaxy-Eyes became an astronomical flop.

hello fellow Galaxy copers, I see we’re all here for a similar reason
I'm here to see if I can use this stuff for utopia
True
lol
Nonono, see MY deck is ACTUALLY great... maybe just in duellinks though
Na fr how’d galaxy eyes fail 👀 cause I’m still whooping people with this deck 😐
My worst nightmare is here, an failed archetype about Galaxy-eyes
They had some success in the OCG , new support is coming soon
Here’s the question: DO THEY HAVE A STARTER?

I’ll speak up for you. Galaxy Eyes is a GOOD DECK. It’s just not a great deck.
I got I you boss, GALAXY EYES is the best antagonists "Eyes/Dragon" monster. I was just running GEPD Xyz deck in the master duel event. And if I add link and synchro I'm getting 6-7 wins or gf 10 games

Maybe Photon will have new support after this video(like genex)
@@TruongNguyen-vy7rwit dont need it. It's good as is. I'm whiping meta deck with it. Though I'm not saying more support isn't welcome.
Give it 5 years when new OP meta decks hit and we'll soon see Tearlaments showing up as a failed archetype.
To be honest, this channel uploads a lot of videos about 'failed' archetypes which really aren't failed at all but just don't typically beat the current top 5 meta decks... like every other deck doesn't. There are some archetypes, like Genex and Ally of Justice, which are truly failed as they were never competitively viable even at release and don't have any synergy. However, Blue Eyes, Galaxy Eyes, Predaplants, Dark Magician, etc. certainly are click-bait or just very questionable to put into this list because they are good archetypes with synergy and competitiveness. They simply aren't 'on top' right now, yet tell that the many average-to-mediocre archetypes like Fortune Lady, or even actually bad ones like Koa'ki Meiru - they would statistically get crushed.
I won't be surprised if we see archetypes like Floowandereeze, Raidraptor and Utopia here which were on top of the food chain at one time and still have decent success nowadays.

I mostly would like to see a new Tachyon dragon with neos anime effect. (Yknow,the ability to basically reset the entire turn.) While it would likely be banned I'm sure there could be a way to balance it... maybe?
Duel logs once again willing new support into existence out of pure irony
The same way older yugioh players adore Blue Eyes, I adore Galaxy Eyes. I don't care how impractical or bad the card and deck is, I love the space dragon
Its not even that Bad. Just not competetive. Except in master Duel, there it was an actual viable rouge strat
@@tumage8592 still is as long as you can pilot it good enough. C62 is a scary card. 😅
Yeah no not all of us older yugioh fans like blue eyes white that cards trash
@@tumage8592 A lot of these archetypes aren't "Bad", just need to be matched to the power level that it's designed for. It's why I really feel Konami needs to refactor the "ban list" to stop being a "one size fits all" and do the "Ban tiers" system. where certain cards or archetypes simply aren't allowed in certain tier rungs. That way, a lot of cards that are only broken/bannable because of like Spyrals or Monarchs existing can finally help thier own archetype as intended instead of letting weaker archetypes fall into obscurity permanently while the new meta threat just gloats about how it doesn't need it, but still got the archetype banned. That's kind of the issue I'm seeing with the TCG mostly. It's not even power creep, it's the fundamental mechanics of Yugioh being thrown in the trash because there are cards that ignore the balancing factors of the game entirely without weakness. Like when Pokemon introduced Mega evolutions and of course gave the most overpowered pokemon Megas as if THEY'RE the ones who needed a boost, while Flygon got sh*t on. at least Smogon was smart enough to do the tiering list so there were reasons to use lower level pokemon and most Megas were banned to OU/Ubers anyway. But no one can forgive what Stealth Rock did....
I love GE and photons. It's still the only archetype I consistently go back to. Not only because of who uses it, but it's so fun to overlay 5 times in one turn
0:03 No, no, he literally has a galaxy in his eyes, it shows in the DL summon animation. And it's one of the sickest things in ygo
I love @14:30 when you can practically hear the board meeting. "People still can't play Galaxy Eyes well even with all the support we've given them. What should we do?" "Make a ritual monster that's just a reference to another archetype."

@@KorinIta jeez lol. what are the other two?
"Great Value Blue-Eyes" murdered Me!😭😂
Basically it's what I call an anti XYZ blue eyes
Tachyon is basically a ability wipe
funny part is... its far better then blue eyes
Galaxy Eyes is like the HERO archetype lots of experimentation and it slowly gets better over time
I do remember Galaxy eyes taking Duel links by storm.
I recalled that. Maybe was the ability of Kite or the Galaxy +support card available at that moment
It's fairly consistent and easy to get 2 level 4 photon monsters on the field for Galaxion, sometimes even without normal summoning if you Thrasher and Vanisher. And then Galaxion summons a GEPD from the deck or hand.
Mainly because they got a busted skill that gives you a free double Foolish Burial, and then after that got nerfed Mizar came in with a skill that casually goes plus a million and searches an omni-negate, and then when that got nerfed people began using Kite's second absurd consistency skill which allows a free +2 and searches Cloudragon just because
In between those though they were kinda garbage
Because of the skill abuse
It's been tier 3 twice in the past year and Tachyon was tier 0 this year.
Just like with Genex video, on the 7th day Konami said "fuck this, we shall prove the spider vtuber wrong by making actual good support". False alarm boys, galaxy-eyes still strong
This aged SO WELL. The support is INSANE.
Blame the anime for the split support: there were 2 different characters that ran Galaxy-Eyes decks.
*three
@@christopherb501 There was Kaito and Mizael, who's the third one?
@@KaoruMzkthe other kaito from arc v that use cipher monster

WHY TWO? And both are in the same anime!
All of us galaxy enthusiasts are in shambles
Wallahi We're finished 😂
I absolutely love this deck and hopefully we get more support for this deck. And please cross over with Cipher.
The new support is great. But it needs tachyon cards to make the counter trap searchable
the new Duelist Pack are featuring Mizar so there's a possibility for Tachyon support there and i also hope it can strengthening Galaxy-Eyes even more
Well we'll be getting Galaxy War Drake soon. Also, a crossover with Cipher? No way. Besides the XYZ monsters, the Ciphers have very little, if even any, synergy with Galaxy Photon. Doesn't help the Cipher archetype is complete garbage.
I think Cipher should be its own archetype if it gets support.
@@hey_its_brandenit is it's own archetype, it just a has a lot of unprinted cards
29:25: Kite used Ciphers in Arc-V, whereas he exclusively used "photons" in ZEXAL.
I hate ciphers.
Let my favourite character not swap to CIPHERS
@@Rikufan748why do you hate them?
@@emanuelstornello8009 I don't hate all of them, but most. I should've clarified that. But it's because we don't need both photons and ciphers! Ciphers also feel really... I don't know how explain it but... Weird and Odd to play? I don't like playing them. Though I will praise their boss monsters for their power. They are very good. Also, I'm not a fan of the deck switch. I get it's a different version of the character, but photons were iconic. Ciphers? No.
@@Rikufan748personally I liked the aesthetic, what I didn't like is aster/edo keeping destiny hero without the lore tied to it and using dystopia instead of plasma, and I do like dystopia but it was literally his one trick pony and got boring fast.
@@emanuelstornello8009 the legacy duelists were all done dirty in Arc V.
No matter how bad this archetype is, I WILL keep playing it for as long as I live even if in the far distant future it gets to a point it becomes top tier.
No other archetype really does it for me, most likely wouldn't be playing or caring about YGO at all if it weren't for these cards.
Well said our Galaxy Lord
Our favorite deck will rise again no matter what
Watching this one April 3, I cannot take any of this seriously and every line sounded sarcastic.
21:02 OK, mistake like calling Dragon an archetype is NOT helping. 29:27 Oh, come ON!
I was looking for you in the comments when I finished this video. Your games are always epic!
This archetype is still the only deck I have laying around after I stopped playing. I don't care what they say, I feel like Kaiba with how much this archetype has made me obsessed with it
Well said my brotha
"Kite carried Zexal series" FACTS. Kite is my favorite character from the series. Enjoyed briefly using a Galaxy-Eyes deck in duel links.
Best thing he said in this video fr. Kaito is just doing his job as the breakout star of Zexal.
@@BlizzardLuinor Kite/Kaito carried Zexal. I loved Zexal, but it's mainly just him.
I didn't expect to find you here BTW!
Anyways, Kaito is the best.
@@Rikufan748 Apologies for the late reply, but yes Kaito was the one true HIM in Zexal for me at least. Vector and Mizael are my other close favs.
Yeah I sometimes comment here and there lol.
@@BlizzardLuinor No need to apologise! You shouldn't need to apologise for that. Anyways yeah, Mizar and Vector were great too. Although I liked Shark more than them. Though I do have (in DL) a level 39 Mizar so...
I should watch the anime again. Can't wait for Prime photon, it's one of my favourite cards ever.
Edit: watcg changed to watch, I hate when autocorrect actually doesn't work.
Fr. I could NOT get into Zexal at ALL. But then I saw Kite playing GEPD (after it was completed). And I immediately loved all of the GEPD and XYZ cards.
how dare you, stop attacking my childhood
I will drop your childhood like the Joker dropped bars on Robin.
Fr, Galaxy-Eyes means so much to me even to this day.
@@Yuyuki727Death in the Family?
TFW you're old, and realizing Galaxy-Eyes could legitimately be someone's childhood.
@@DaemonRaygewe grew up with Blue Eyes. The teens of today grew up with Galaxy Eyes. I genuinely enjoy playing all the different "eyes...dragon" decks though.
A bit of a nitpick but Photon Strike Bounzer, while yes is a Photon card, is more of a part of the "Bounzer" archetype that's full of level 6 monsters, but due to anime reasons, it was given the Photon name as well
Babe wake up
TheDuelLogs summoned support for an archtype they covered in a Failed Cards and Mechanics video again
"Galaxy Eyes"?
"Failed cards"?
That's a two-phrase combo I was not expecting. lol
I'm waiting for my Glad beasts to appear in video form. I can already hear "An archetype that relies on the battle phase just can't cut it in the modern era despite literally being a jack of all trades, self contained archetype" Though it also has the issue of having TOO many tools and having the wrong tools in your hand at the wrong time can end your game turn 1.
Still it's a really fun deck because of how versatile it is, but you really need to play it in slower paced duels.
@@MarioMastarI don't like how duel logs just ignores historical significance. like I love the guy's videos but blue-eyes won worlds. in no way did that archetype "fail". a glad beast video would be similar.
@@polocatfan Blue Eyes winning Worlds somewhat conveniently by being made as an anti-meta doesn't change the fact that the archetype is still horrendously bad. It definitely is worthy of being called a failed archetype considering how much support it has and how little it does
@@MarioMastarAnything that doesnt summon your entire deck or bullsht effect that prevent ur opponent to play, like weebtearlement or kashittira are failed cards according to duellogs
DuelLogs can be so savage in these videos that it almost makes me feel bad for a piece of cardboard.
Never feel sorry for unplayable cards. Never feel sorry for decks that keep believing we're in DM era
@@soukenmarufwt5224 my guy I promise you if we were in DM or even Xyz era these cards would be broken.
@@soukenmarufwt5224💀😭
Galaxy Eyes ran rampart through Duel Links twice, actually. The first time was with the skill Xyz Galaxy, which allowed you to Xyz Summon Photon Lord with just a single GEPD. The second was just a few months ago when Mizer dropped and one of his skills allowed you to Summon Tachyon Dragon on your first turn, then giving you the option to immediately upgrade it to its Chaos form right afterwards.
I only went back to Duel Links when they finally dropped GEPD and Photon Lord. Then they fucking nerfed our Skill & Lord. 😭
Dang, 50 minutes on one of my favorites. Got the membership just to watch.
Same here lol
I know this series doesn’t necessarily mean a archetype is inherently bad but to put it in the same bottom bin as Aliens is crazy work😭
Yeah he did galaxy eyes dirty. Aliens are doodoo butter, galaxy eyes are on par with mathmech cyberse pile in otk damage numbers
@@DirtyDan1203 At least aliens have good payoff with their warcrime A-counter garbage. OTK damage numbers are just numbers higher than you actually need to kill.
Coming back here now really does hit you now the support is out and the counter trap is searchable.
Guy is truly a word of is own
24:34 “No cards in the Galaxy-Eyes or Photon archetypes search for Tachyon cards.”
Wow, this aged horribly with the reveals last night.
Ikr it's crazy
Duel logs gonna get cancelled by the galaxy community now 💀💀💀
Being a fan of galaxy eyes, we know how bad it can be 😅
Weird how yuma as main character is pretty much hated but his deck see so much play on the meta while his rival kite Suffer the opposite....
Love the "C69" @ 45:14. I guess we all know this archetype wasn't interesting enough to hold theduellogs' attention.
And yet the card was a C62, not C69
As a blue eyes player I do love galaxy eyes, cause they make majority of my extra deck
@TheDuelLogs You see the new card of promo: "Galaxy War Drake"? It's a new extender....🤣
I feel like it was galaxy that motivated Konami to create xyz decks like Kashtira that was good at pumping out high level monsters with disruptions for XYZ plays.
The scariest thing about this is how many different waves of support it received only to end where it is now. Imagine if kashtira had 15 waves of support for it
It's a common problem for beloved anime archetypes. Just look at Blue-Eyes. Consistent "support" that causes everyone else to groan in annoyance but which is always years behind the meta. No matter how much support an archetype gets it is useless if they are starving for useful starters and searchers.
15 waves of support and the only 1 card starter we got was wing 😢
lol but Kash was designed to be broken out of the pack…
Idk ehat your talking about but, I've crushed a lot of the current metas with Galaxy eyes and its a fun deck
Glad to see I’m not the only one who was obsessed with Galaxy Eyes as a kid
While I totally get why you're doing a failed cards video I can't deny I'm gonna always love galaxy eyes, it's so fun to play!
On Duel Links, Galaxy Eyes was pretty much everywhere and I hated that deck so much. I played Red Eyes and I would always have a huge smile on my face whenever I had Red Eyes Slash Dragon on the field since it would negate Galaxy Eyes targeting effect. Won me quite a few games with it.
Well timed video right before the new support came out 😂
Tachyon incoming support: 0:30 You forgot about us.
Mans wanted a fight! Not only is he adding Galaxy-Eyes to the failed archetype series, pretty sure this videos easily the longest of them. I know theres a lot of cards to cover but FIFTY MINUTES?!?!?
This deck put the fear of god in me when i used to always summon in attack position.
As a Galaxy-eyes main, I am borderline offended XD
After some time. I am very offended Galaxy-eyes is being referred to as "Great Value Blue-eyes" when Blue-eyes can't even function anymore without adding Branded Bystial. Most "Blue-eyes" decks only ever include a handful of Blue-eyes cards these days. At least Galaxy Photon functions on it's own.
Logs always sounds slightly angry and disappointed when he talking about failed cards XD
this card can you instantly win you a duel when you play it needless to say its pretty bad
seeing this on my homepage felt like a dagger to the heart
Lo and behold, new galaxy support is inbound that lets you search tachyon spells and traps. It might not be a failed archetype yet
"Great Value Blue-Eyes" Bruh! I'm dead!
Take a drink every time he says, “Extender.” 😂
NGL my galaxy eyes rolls snake eyes and labyrinth gonna get master just to prove a point cause this video lol
Galaxy-Eyes isn't a *complete* failure. It's a Rank 8 engine, enabling "Number 97: Draglubion" and "Number 38: Hope Harbinger Dragon Titanic Galaxy"
The Rank 8 engine which nobody ever used lol
And c62 neo galaxy eyes prime photon dragon
It's only a failure because Konami keeps printing "rich boy cards" that effectively make the TCG "Pay to win" instead of "play for fun". Cause without some of the problem archetypes that pop up in EVERY ONE OF THESE VIDEOS as the reason the speed of the game is "too fast for trap cards...a fundamental mechanic of the game" get rid of them and most of these failed archetypes become playable again.
@@MarioMastarthat name on that number monster is beyond dumb. 😅😂
I love spamming out a bunch of big bosses and ability wipe monsters only to bring in the prime-afterglow or draglubion one shot tech. The ONLY two things that make this deck get held back are consistency and the fact you have to use a lot of effects to get to the huge boards. Get rid of those and maybe a tachyon searcher and this deck will dominate competitive. Its a fun-rogue deck for smaller tournaments currently Id argue.
So after the Ishizu retrains, we're back to cards that were that just fail by normal means...yet with how long this video is, it's amazing how much was ATTEMPTED to fix the issue. Guess it's a case of Konami should've worked smarter rather than (only) harder.
Is this the longest single video DuelLogs has put out so far? Because good god was there a LOT of detail in this video.
42:44 I know you've been talking for a while, but this voice crack killed me! 😂🤣
"While you control a _gAlAxY..._ "
As someone said in a previous comment, don’t let this discourage you
In many metas but especially Yugioh, 80-90% of archetypes are not competitive
0:52 Idea for a “dwarf” version of this card:
_Galaxy-Eyes Dwarf Dragon_ (LIGHT)
Level 4
Dragon/Effect
(This card is always also a “Photon” card)
_(Quick Effect) You can Special Summon this card (from your hand) by Tributing 1 or more monsters with 1000 or more total ATK/DEF. During the Battle Step, if a monster you control battles an opponent's monster (Quick Effect): You can target that opponent's monster; banish both that battling monster you control from the field and that target. Return those banished monsters to the field at the end of the Battle Phase, then apply 1 of the following effects:_
_⚪️Add 1 card to your hand (from your deck) that mentions “Galaxy-Eyes” or “Photon” in its name or effects._
_⚪️Increase or Decrease the ATK/DEF of 1 monster on the field by 1000_
ATK/1500 DEF/1250
What a Praime idea.
So what I'm hearing is "It failed cause it's not meta"
And the Curse continuous. If an arctype is brought to this section, it's fans can prepare the party cause there is coming support for it
Just give Kaito a damn starter already and a valid Turn 1 Combo. Also, a Galaxy-Eyes Photon Maiden as well because why not at this point.
My boy Kaito is definitely gonna get smth out of Mizael's support, that's for sure.
I love using G.E just because the combos u can do with prime photon dragon are hilarious with the damage calculation
"I would like to otk my next 30 opponents at the same time please"
Its a really great feeling when you xyz combo like crazy and have a full field of Rank 8s then using Afterglow with 36/C36 and dealing a billion damage with a single attack.
@@Botan_KatouI think you meant to say Number 62. Number 36 was a Chronomaly monster.
Oh no, Galaxy Eyes players gonna be after you now.. But at least they're not as crazy as the Ghostricks
They're too busy stalking MBT if he ever play Ghostricks...... 😅😅😅😅
We fully embrace we'll be eternally stuck in high rogue. Konami has decreed us the forever casual archetype
24:30 Man....... This line aged really quickly, looks like someone in KONAMI see this and said "Hey, let's prove how wrong this guy"
Ikr I'm having a blast deck building again after years of being board!
I'm seriously curious about this series. What exactly are the clarifications of an archtype being considered a failure?
I think a big part of it is whether the archetype as a whole ever gets to see TCG/OCG success, as distinguished from one or two cards from the archetype getting splashed into other decks and doing well. Dark Matter Dragon being so good as to get banned forever while actually not being useful within its own archetype (at least at the time) is maybe the most glaring example of that so far.
Anything that was never meta at some point, it seems.
Anything that doesnt summon your entire deck, bullsht effect, negate, or disrupt that prevent ur opponent to play like weebtearlement or kashittira are failed cards according to duellogs
archetypes that are bad…. like galaxy eyes
Konami doesn't like you at all, do they?
I can get behind the main deck ciphers being failed cards, but the galaxys/photons too just cause they were never meta threats is an overstatement IMHO
A combo deck that is incapable of playing through droll, shifter and nib and can have their boards broken by half of the game's going second cards is a failed archetype. Galaxy-eyes has been my pet deck for years and while it does have a very powerful strategy, the combos just aren't resilient enough to function in a game focused so heavily around interruption and the number of bricks you have to play forces you to play basically no non-engine cards so that you don't brick every other game. The potential is there, it just needs a few starters that provide the deck with more structured combo lines so that you don't have to memorise a spreadsheet of combo lines on par with D/D/D
I feel like this series should instead be called "Why [archetype name] doesn't see play."
Dzeef already has a series called that... But unfortunately he doesn't do that very often
Yeah Galaxy-eyes is not a bad deck at all. It's fine for locals.
I'm trying to build this deck now, I saw this video and I was like "Oh no" then I saw the length of the video and i like "plz no"😭
Only problem when talking about a failed archetype, it's cause the archetype it's probably "healthy", unlike all the shit that goes meta where the rule is:
Virtually EVERY CARD MUST comply with at least one of the following:
- Be a one card combo
- Be a free summon + quick effect + GY effect (and sometimes even banished effect)
- Unleash a myriad of interactions right on opponents' draw phase, before he can get their own stuff going
TRANSMIGRATION IS SEARCHABLE NOW‼️‼️‼️😩😩😩
I feel liks some of these points talked about could be made about almost every archetype.
Hello fellow Galaxy-Eyes copers
NEW SUPPORT IS ABSOLUTE GAS LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO
The one thing Galaxy Worm did right was support Digital Bugs, because they need all the help they can get, because I just like them.
Also, bad or no, I cannot deny the joy and satisfaction of that one time I defeated an opponent during Dragon Ruler format by summoning a live "Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon". It was glorious.
Photon sanctuary locks you in to light monsters for the entire turn
You also can only summon light beflre the activation
Might wanna remake this video, we got some new cards, but I bet you can guess what kind of cards they are.
Can’t wait for “Failed Archetypes: Snake Eyes” two/three years from now
Honestly we haven't seen something like Fire Fist yet so we can say pretty reliably for now that by failed archetype it means an archetype that never was Meta/ never reached rogue status in the least.
blue-eyes won worlds though @@asafesseidonsapphire
What?!? This archtype is a failure?!! What do you mean? This archtype is amazing! I understand that a deck is not meta unless it’s consistent and recursion but I still believe Galaxy/Photon did what it set out to do. Being very pretty and powerful!
More like get support every year and still be mid Af in every format
I really love that you go into detail with every card without glossing over anything. Think you could cover Gusto? My favorite archetype, but its definitely flawed.
Gustos are fun to play they aren't very competitive but I enjoy playing them alot more
The recent support of PHHY made the deck playable (even tho way harder to play) , got couple of tops between regionals and ots. The deck isnt played a lot because it's an old anime archerype but after the support it's pretty playable and it's better than some of the rogue decks that didn't get support recently. There are gonna be other support too soon, big hopes for them 🙏🏻
I watched the entire video. I hate to admit it, but I understand why my favorite archtype in Yugioh can’t stand up to meta threats. Without enough starters and ways to get around hand traps and graveyard shuffling protection, Galaxy Eyes just can’t do anything. It doesn’t help that you are forced to use bricks and consistency is always a key factor in yugioh.
But I will be honest. I prefer it this way. I play this cards casually and I don’t want Galaxy Eyes to become such a massive threat that my favorite cards need to be limited or banned. The magic of Galaxy Eyes is the spacial power and beautiful display of finesse. It eats up resources but to me that’s fair.
I wish yugioh would stop this issue where decks need resource recycling and consistency to be a mega threat. Nothing we can do as long as there are better cards. But I will stick to my Galaxy Eyes just because it’s just so fun to summon your powerful xyz monsters!
While not meta it was definitely rogue before Snake Eyes came around since it topped a couple of regionals and OTS's. Topping regionals basically makes your deck rogue tier which definitely wouldn't fall under the criteria of a failed archetype.
The biggest problem with this archetype is they have to do so much to get so little. Solflare is about the worst form of disruption possible. Discards a card, targeted destruction, only on opponent's turn, and only special summoned monsters. Like, why did it need to be that bad? The best possible turn 1 is like 1.5 interruptions. They have to combo for days just to end on an OTK that other decks can do in 1-3 cards. The searches are super restrictive and require a PhD in engineering to understand. Half the monsters are Galaxy, half are Photon, and certain cards only search certain ones.
wait till this archetype gets one more support card and you'll hate going second to this.
All it needs is a card that searches the tachyon transmigration onmi trap card. That alone would make it a rogue deck imo. And I’d like a card that gets busted effects if u tribute summon it to play off Emperor’s effect
You people say this every time this deck gets support

So what is your definition of a failed archetype? This deck has had tops recently and its a solid deck. How can you put it on the same level as War Rock?
You either didn't watch the entire video, or have comprehension issues.
Dang man I love all your content since Ive been in Middle School, But the Failed Card Mechanics & Failed Decks are mad Addicting.
Highkey I know you have your Content Schedule but Deck Explained where you explain what the Symbolism of the archetype aswell as Deck Success which IG would just explain what decks popped off when & why which IG would lead to the Strongest Plays in Yugioh or Board Setups.
Im gonna start Creating This type of Content as I love it & simply love Yugioh.
Aged like fine wine, rejoice fellow photon players
Rejoice!
For what we will get in the next set. Tachyon Support will make us raise in the meta (I hope)
do not insult my child you
So this aged well huh, look at them custom suport cards
Galaxy-eyes is not a failed archetype, ask any galaxy fanboy and they’ll tell you you’re just playing it wrong
Yea "failed archetypes" is just a bad name for the cards he makes videos on nowadays since he literally says it himself that the decks isn't bad, just not competitively viable
You just need to be careful of what to play and when
As someone used to play kuriphoton, when logs said kuriphoton prevent BATTLE DAMAGE, I got triggered lightly.
You did not just say galaxy eyes is a failed archetype we topped a regional not that long ago and was always there my guy no way you just got a lot of people mad lol
i was about to say cope but than saw your name and now just feel bad

If you make a video about any topic there will 100% be a dude in the comments called "topic+ edgelord pre/suffix" that will act like a manchild over it

@@traiges414 I’ve been playing the deck since it came out I don’t need your commentary I topped enough with it with the new support
I guess I remember this archetype very differently. I used to play with a guy that got top 8 at a couple regionals with galaxy eyes
Even Galaxy-Eyes didn't go to meta, it's a good archetype nonetheless.
An archetype doesn't need to be meta to be good, if it's playable, it's good imo
You really have some feelings towards the coolest dragon in yugioh
I mean, this feels like a personnal attack, this is my favourite deck by far and it doesn't disappoint in locals as a weaker rogue deck xD
Less than a week later konami releases info about new insane support
Duel Links got Photons alongside some very good consistency helpers.
Biggest of which was Starliege Lord Galaxion, which is still incredibly easy to get out on a Photon deck.
