Now we just need the Dark Scorpion, Venom, Guardian, and Phantom Beast support (no chimera does not count) to finally update all the archetypes from LOTW.
I wanted to be a theatre kid until I heard some theatre kids discuss that play. Lost my theatre boner and tried out for football after that pretentiousness
Mixing this deck with the Melodious engine is incredibly good. The Melodious pendulums let you pend out any light monster lvs 2-8, Arcana force World happens to be a lv 8. Gives the deck more utility too.
@@quaidan Minimum is 11 main deck (1 shopina, 1 melodious fusion, 3 ostinato, 3 of each pend). If you also wanna have melodious as a backup plan before the lock, then it's at least 13 (add 2 sopranos). You could also run a couple of garnets if you wanna minimize the arcana cards you need (zeradias and santuary in the sky because you can search anything by dumping zeraidas, then adding it with shopina, to get to the link 3 that adds any fairy).
There are actually alternative names for Tarrots that could have fit here. The Temptor fits. Its also been called The Captive and that still captures the meaning of the card. I think The Sinner would also have been a good name, even though that one isnt rooted in tarrot afaik.
Arcana Force is the greatest deck ever if you only flip correctly, and also don’t play Arcana force. Take this from someone who has played Arcana Force since release.
I'll never forget when my friends and I got back into yugioh in highschool. We developed a shitty meta of our own that was an arms race of unawareness going from battletraps, to Trap Stun as a 3 of staple, to Earthbound Immortals being unbeatable, to MST negating, and so on. Anyways my friend liked Jojo Part 3 and I found out a tarot archetype exist and happily told them about Arcana Force to see if they liked it. About a week later I found out it was one of the shittiest archetypes ever printed lol.
Fun fact: the voice actor for Sartorius is Takehito Koyasu, who also voices DIO. If I had a nickel for every time he had a roll in which he yelled "Za Warudo!", I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice
Just a quick FYI: don't buy Raycon. At least some of their models are repackaged cheap, mass-produced earbuds. I don't remember their name, but a reviewer of audio products did a deep-dive onto them years back. You can basically get the exact same - albeit without the branding - for way cheaper.
I didn’t even know there was new Arcana Force support until a friend started complaining about the deck a few weeks ago. It was only then that I learned what was in the cards for Arcana Force.
replacing Chariot with Empress feels like a bigger payoff Chariot has two nothing effects for the opponent and is used to summon the fusion anyway Empress has one nothing effect for them, unless they're also playing Arcana Force, and one fantastic effect for you and is still used for the fusion
They probably get something like this "example" - quickspell - change any cloudians into defense. After that return as many cards on the field to theire owners hand as cloudians that destroyed themself through theire own effect.
Honestly they could do some cool stuff with 5-6 new cards, maybe a field spell that turns their counter effects to quick effects, kind of like the Orcust field spell
15:16 Couldn't we have taken Crossout here and won this game with Spread, Hierophant's hand effect to protect Sun setting Wave of Light pitching Fuwalos?
Yeah he basically threw the last game. Even without knowledge of his opponent's hand he knew he was under Purulia and under threat of the opponent drawing the Nib.
If I were playing the deck, I would make two changes. 1. Swap Chariot for Empress because Empress's heads effect allows the Arcana Force player to special summon an Arcana Force monster from their had each time the opponent Normal Summons or sets a monster which not only gives you fodder for the World's turn skip effect but allowing the deck to OTK by way of the next change I'd make to the deck. 2. I'd Include Arcana Force 0 the Fool in the deck because you can give it to your opponent via Hirophant's effect, and apply the Fool's Tails effect to make it so that they can target it with their own card effects. Finally, because the Fool can't be changed to defense position you can run into it with your big Arcana Force monsters and OTK your opponent because the Fool can't be destroyed by battle as well.
Also he's way too invested into handtraps imo, i'd still rock the crossout to stop droll, but i'd be more focused on cards like talents and thrust so that i can make more plays even through standard interrupts.
Good list but I think you should play lovers instead of chariot, it gives you another line to summon the world. And it doesn’t lose to bystials. It also makes your deck less reliant on the fusion going off.
It being called Light of Destruction would be flavorful, but we have the OCG to blame, for once, not translators. The Japanese name of the continuous trap by that name is (in their alphabet for approximating foreign words, here represented with Rōmaji, a transliteration system) "Raito obu Desutorakushon." Now, it is possible that another phrase in one of their other two alphabets would semantically translate to Light of Destruction, and that could be the name of the continuous spell. This actually happens all the time where translators have trouble because two different phrases in Japanese can only ever translate to the same phrase in English, but they have to keep them distinct in translation in case one becomes an archetype. However, the name of that spell is (again, in Rōmaji transliteration) "Hikari no Hadō" which literally translates to "Light Wave." So they actively didn't name it that. (Perhaps because they predicted translation issues.)
Why are people always hating on Arcana so much? They were pretty cool in the GX anime and Id suffer 100 bricked Arcana hands before I ever play Genex. Even with the Link monster they gave them most of their synchros have so many arbitrary restrictions that I just despise that archetype
I just want them to get a second wave of support, specially to complete the Major Arcana. Its one of my favorite archetypes, they are so cool, literally based on the Lovecraft mythos
More than anything, tinkering with this deck has shown that there's just no good coinflip cards to search. Your best bet is, what... Head Judging? In a deck with Skill Drain? If Coinflip had as much good generic support as diceroll, this deck would be fucking insane.
This deck could be so fun if eventually we get enough support to push out the old ftk package and it plays like the new stuff: summon Arcana monsters that don't have terrible game losing effects on a 50/50 and have your opponent summon the bad ones to their field from your deck which you then use to go into the extra deck
Only time I had my fortune read that way resulted in the guy asking if I was messing with him. Probably didn't help that I was lazy enough to wear a cloak most Halloweens and he pulled The Hermit.
Now can we get support for: Vylon, Steelswarm (Lswarm), Flamvell, Venom, MPB, Worm, Laval, Mist Valley, X-Sabers, Umbral Horrors and such? So many archetypes still left unsupported. Like AF, I'm not asking for them to be meta, just at least playable (with coherent strategies lines and able to set up their bosses/win conditions turn 1)
I play drytron and use only 3 arcana cards, the world, fiend, and light barrier and I consistently turn skip and otk's. As benten searching ability get you the fiend for the field, then the world for your normal summon. If you go up against tenpia you just summon fucho and its gg, with other decks if you get hand-trap ending on vanity ruler can just win you the game. I usually get to diamond with it. But it does struggle with bystials and droll.
@geiseric222 No it wasnt lmao. The deck *had no point*. It was ARCANA FORCE. A GX deck without any Support. Thats like saying Dark Scorptions gimmick is Trap loops because Chick the Yellow was the only relevant card aside from Dong Zalong splashes

seems crammed. what would be the minimum engine requirements for both arcana force and melodious look like?

As soon as Joseph asked "what does that mean", I was expecting the bad "missiles into airplane crash into cars crashing" GIF playing on top of him.
I know its dumb but it kinda makes me irrationally annoyed that they kinda borked up the Arcana theme by censoring The Devil lol
I feel like its reasonable, its just dumbass censorship 'fiend' is just a synonym for Devil why change it at all?
And if the voice lines from duel links is any sign, then Death will also be censored if we ever get that.
They can't exactly name those De Vile/The Vile for The Devil and Shadow Realm for Death now huh 😂😂😂
There are actually alternative names for Tarrots that could have fit here. The Temptor fits. Its also been called The Captive and that still captures the meaning of the card. I think The Sinner would also have been a good name, even though that one isnt rooted in tarrot afaik.

This has been one of my favorite archetypes ever since I saw it in GX. Back then, Konami actually waited quite some time until they printed it irl.
I love going through the comments and seeing how many people were thinking the same thing as me. Persona 3 will always be goated!
Playing The Lovers instead of Chariot opens up lines that avoid Nibiru and Bystials.
Hilarious to think that an Arcana Force monster might actually get banned within our lifetimes

1 The lovers is the only level 4 or lower arcana force monster you need to run aside of hierophant. Other are just additional bricks
Group of Clouds is approaching Legacy support. Every day is a day closer.
Good list but I think you should play lovers instead of chariot, it gives you another line to summon the world. And it doesn’t lose to bystials. It also makes your deck less reliant on the fusion going off.
