Duality is a card, that I don’t see being broken: -It is strong in some decks like cyber dragon, but the card design is very intentional and limiting. Metamorphosis on the other hand is a very capable generic card. As the current best engine for it is runic: -You have specific levels to tutor for.
I never tried that particular combo - Might have to try it out because i love runick decks. I was playing pure dogmatika last season the only problem was alba zoa was vulnerable to flamberge/labyrinth since they weren't ED monsters. But man the feeling of euphoria and dopamine when i matched again superheavy samurai was a blast!
If the Extra deck isn't too tight, you could slot in some Tuner Synchros that allow you to Quick Synchro on your opponent's turn to climb from Hop-Ear Squadron into Baronne or Chengying.
@@xCorvus7x I'll keep that in mind. I do have a micro Albaz package in there though to get over Naturia Beast and cards like it since Albaz can be turbo'd out with Incredible Ecclesia, so i do have to be somewhat mindful of the space in my extra deck. Its strictly a control strategy. But yeah, the list is heavily inspired by Joshua Schmidt's old Bystial Runick list (just without much Bystials at all and with a Dogmatika package because I can't let this archetype go, lmao) I'll see what I have room for. If i'm good at anything, its condensing packages. I may need to move Iris Swordsoul to the side deck to make space in the main deck for other stuff. She's generally at her best going first anyhow.
Yeah i really like to examine cards from multiple angles and scrutinize why we use certain cards and why we don't. Also I go in depth into many mathematical videos and look at them from a statistical point of view. Thanks for watching and joining!
When you walked through the combo used in that Runick list, starting with Noble Knight's Shield-Bearer & ending on Chevalier de Fleur I laughed, because that's _exactly_ what the combo is supposed to do, or rather that was the intended combo/synergy of using those cards when they were being designed lmao - if you played the list/combo pure, it's possible to end on Baronne & Chevalier but you'd need to know your combo lines and play/open more pieces. It references the (criminally underrated) duel from 5Ds that those cards debuted in, being Yusei vs Sherry. 😁 Edit: Just realised Shield-Bearer can be used to search Flying Elephant 😂
Just watched the anime match because of your comment. Its funny because you would think the "NOBLE KNIGHT" monsters have to do with the noble knight archtype but really are team fleur.
Also i like how they made her french like the archtype was designed. Her name being sherry is a nice nod to the famous french line in movies "mon cheri" which means "my dear"
Her Noble Knight's debuted in the anime back in 2009. Three years before the TCG Noble Knight Archetype you are referencing. They just remained anime-only for about a decade and ended up being printed with additional effects. So it makes sense they primarily boost her strategy.
@@dancostello4872 Only in the localization. The "Noble Knight" archetype is referred to as "Holy Knight" in the OCG. This includes the anime and games. As such the "Noble Knight's" (or technically "Holy Knight's") archetype debuted in 2009.
That use of Gnomaterial is very interesting. Shield-Bearer has so much potential. I first saw that card played in Jesse Kotton's Crystal Beast deck against Sam.
I get so sad/mad when I see these ninja profiles and they leave out Shield Bearer. I reckon you probably feel the same way too with crystal beasts lol. Shield bearer is the man.
Glad you liked the combo - i tried showcasing a lesser known but sill potentially powerful combos to know especially as more cards get released some of these cards get more targets and grow in power.
If I had to share my favorite obscure tech card, i don't know if i could give a straight answer, so i'll just say Rookie Warrior Lady. She provides good GY recursion in Amazoness and is also a Dark Honest on top of that.
Duality in Dogmatika is really good. Summon Fleurdelis to negate an opponent's monster, then Duality it away for Dragoon onmi-negate. it won't have the pop, and you won't get to summon it back from grave or when banished, but what's better than a monster negate into an onmi-negate on your opponent's turn?
Thanks as always! I have started playing with the flower cardians and getting to lightflare is so hard lol. but i am not running optimal lines yet and still learning. The deckbuilding part of that deck is the most important part so i need to play around with ratios to get it right lol.
You really need to open “Flower Summoning” and the lvl 6 tuner rose with peony!!! since the deck struggles a lot with monster negates I am main decking 3 lost wind! It does whif when I draw it off a cardian effect, but can reset itself from grave!! The “best” board I have gotten: light flare, light shower and the level 12 Paul, that is a battle phase negate! Keep on keeping on duelist!
To add to the hasty horse comment - Chromonaly Viimana is a very potent rank 5 monster with a generic monster negate but also an in archtype absorb as well. There might be something to look into with that combo as well Ill have to mabye do some further testing. Good examples!
16:40 mutamorphosis can do a Lot for Icejade/Ice barriers. Tribute tatsunoko lv3 then you summon the LV 3 Icejade that searches an Icejade spell. Also tribute coral dragon for +1 then summon lvl 6 georgious. You can have revealer summon mirror Mage, synchro coral dragon -> search LV 5 general and then tribute coral for georgious, georgious SS the LV 5 general to search any spell/trap.
Granguignol the dusk dragon is a level 8 light spellcaster that can easily be summoned using Blazing Cartezia. You activate duality and boom, Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon.
the devouring sarcophagus was the saving grace of my deck when I tried the master duel masochist challenge, not that powerful but very neat and helped me get rid of monsters I otherwise could not with a deck built of only random master pack pulls
Ive noticed in recent years Konami is giving us more monsters that summon to the opponent's side of the field. Potential techs for this could be summoning curse and quiet life.
your right! I think they are doing this because imperm is becoming a +3 staple must have in decks. Being able to Turn off imperm is an enticing strategy for all decks. Summoning Curse is an excellent side board card if you know your going 1st. Love that tech idea.
@@JessePerezStrategyGamingThat's yet another reason why Imperm is OP compared to regular hand traps: being an actual Trap means disqualifying its hand activation doesn't stop it, it only slows it down as it can still be set and sprung from the field like any Normal Trap.
Zombie lover here, a few tips for Devouring Sarcophagus. You can use Avengdread Savior, attack into a powerful or problem boss monster. Savior can send one zombie from the deck to the grave once per turn during one battle. You send Sarcophagus, Savior gets destroyed, then you non target take control of that monster. You can use Alghoul Mazera to protect it from destruction if a monster attacks or destruction effect. This allows you to have a bit more control over which opponent's monster you take. The Patrician of Darkness allows you to choose your opponent's attack targets. Allowing you to force them to attack into your defense Sarcophagus. With Uni Zombie and Zombie World, you can send Glow Up Bloom to the grave, use Blooms effect to Special Summon Changshi the Spiridao. Use Changshi to send Sarcophagus to the grave. Then use Changshi and Uni Zombie to go into Savior. Then attack and send Alghoul Mazera to the grave. This way, if you get attacked, you can either Special summon Alghoul and protect your monster(s), or use Sarcophagus to take control of whatever destroyed your monster. Zombie support supports any archetype because of Zombie World or DNA Surgery.
Shield-Bearer/Hop Ear is my favorite Generaider variant. Personally, I think Hop Ear has more synergy because you can optimize unusable tokens and you can optimize the handrip effect with Harr + Desert Locust. The Spearholder is a good tech in Brigade GladBeast. With the horse, you can summon Borreload with Shuraig for big boost or Ferijit for 1 "mulligan" next turn.
i love hop ear in generaiders. such a good control deck. you go into phantom fortress enterblathnir they discard... use harr.. they discard... use locust swarm... guess what.. discard!
Mutamorphosis is being used on runick Synchron Bystial. It targets the lvl 6 altergeist synchro to trigger its effect and bring out a bystial from the deck
I knew mutamorphosis was a good card the second I saw it. In the OCG they summon hugin, activate mutamorphosis, free up the ED zone, and summon maxx c. End phase maxx c goes to hand. BUSTED.
I watched on recommendation a yugioh anime video. Apparently there is a character that uses this and they are technically all one archtype. I find it interesting because the "NOBLE KNIGHT" shield bearer and spearholder is technically part of the noble knight archtype with their name but goes more to the fleur archetype then nobleknights.
@@JessePerezStrategyGaming I also thought, that it was quite interesting, that it is an official noble knight card. On the other hand, the title of „noble knight“ is more generic than prank-kids. It probably isn’t part of the new card design. Still it is very interesting to have dual archetype cards: -mekka-orcust -all the cartesia and the dogmatika despia card There are a bunch of other examples in recent times. It is interesting, because there is such power in combining different synergies. The tri archetypes are very interesting for that manor. (nature: plant, insect, reptiles) (beast: winged beast, beast, beast warrior) (machine: cyberse, psychic, machine) Some of these new synergies are so specific, they might as well be official archetype support. The light fiend support is magical musketeer support, that just isn’t named that way. Even the first link-1 was very pushed in power level. It didn’t work, so a whole archetype was specifically made to make the deck viable. The design is so interesting, but the overpowered cards such as snakes eyes, maybe horus make the game uninteresting.
ash was actually not good against zoodiac and only ok against true draco. Everyone knew it was insane, but it just didnt fit into the format other than being sided for grass decks
Glad to see some love being shown to gnomaterial. Very underrated card. I use it in my fairy deck since she can also be use to pitch for herald hand traps.
Duality and shadow's light are both very underrated cards. Duality specifically has a lot of potential as a way to dodge targeting effects since it's a quick play. If a deck has a light or dark starter and is able to pair well with an opposite attribute like Aleister the invoker + blazing cartesia, I think it has a lot of potential.
absolutely. my favorite part is that duality basically pays for itself. Shadows light is a weird card that i still havent figured out yet. Very hard to find a deck for shadows light but since more cards keep releasing every day its good to have on the radar.
Mutamorphisis can make a great bridge into my horus cards from my dark magician/toy box/cartesia cards. You get imsety as a pretty strong body and then next turn can use his discard effect in the hand to bring out sarc + draw 1
Oh thats super strong and provides great followup for the next turn. Pretty much so long as your able to survive until then your followup is potentially even better than your turn 1 plays!
@@JessePerezStrategyGaming Yea, toybox magician soul and horus can create so many bodies and advantage that I'm starting to think about if I should be putting crimson dragon in and a couple of the primetime dragon targets its has. And if they cant pop sarc and go after any of my other cards if I just leave the Horus monsters on the field I can go like +4 to +12 from their trigger effects
Maybe you can make a video covering Light Warrior monsters? The typing feels so rare and niche, it's difficult to find routes with say, Poker Knights. Tri-Edge Master, Idaten and Gilti-Gearfried are the main routes I go for.
Exosisters XYZ and Utopia cards are also good light warriors are far as ED for utility. You are probably locked into light warriors but if you aren't lightsworn raiden is good with charge of the light brigade being one of my favorite searchers for the mill 3 addition. Its a level 4 tuner so you can do alot with that.
@@JessePerezStrategyGamingMy Face Card Knight ED is basically half R4nk Xyzes from ZeXal such as a Utopia toolbox, Heroic Champions Excalibur and Claivesolish, Photon Alexandra Queen, Starliege Paladynamo...
this guy: " here's my list of underated cards" reality: "here's a list of really trash and super situational cards that will more than likely be just there to brick your hands."
I've gotten Master Rank solely off the back of noble knight shield bearer in ninjas 🥷. Some of these cards are far more deadly than they appear at first glance. (*but i also agree some are only really good for speciifc niche side deck specific matchups)
Umm. You do realize that when you use cursed seal of the forbidden spell, it locks them out of "all copies" of that card...right?. Not just the one... For the rest of the duel.
@JessePerezStrategyGaming yeah they have a lot of good generic stuff. If you run a deck that mills itself like skull servants you can throw in doomking, banshee, and zombie world for some free negates. Shiranui spectralsword is an easy synchro in the gy as well. Also can run a super poly package to summon predaplants and nethersoul dragon pretty easy if it's dark types. Make sure to use avendread savior and vampire sucker if you're gonna make a zomb deck as well. Alghoul mazera is also a must
Duality literally says: "cheat out Red Eyes Dragoon from your extra Deck". The only issue with it it's that you need to build your Deck and extra Deck around it, but since I saw it I knew it was broken.
yes the card is very powerful and i agree currently we have to build around the card. I think the shift in power is when the card can finally just be thrown in a deck without being built around
I've been using Shared Ride in some of my decks instead of droll & lock. For any deck that plays on the opponents turn (where droll would also hurt you) it's actually cracked.
oooo i wish they made that an official game mode in Master Duel. I would like to see either that or draft mode. I don't want to make a whole new account to do a masochist run lol.
@@JessePerezStrategyGaming master duel has so much potential with stuff like that but most of the events are pretty ass imo. Atleast we get limit one back. I'd play a draft mode all day long though
Cursed seal is good going first or second in decks that play traps or against decks that use spells as a main part of their strategy. Just because it isnt an otk card that doesnt mean its bad. Not everyone wants to otk.
it should be "reborn type cards" lmao. I use text to subtitles for the subtitles and do alot of editing to fix some errors but i miss a few lol. But now i only hear what the text to subtitles say im saying!
when i heard you talk about Noble Knight's Shield-Bearer, i heard winged beast... so I think that might be useful for my harpie deck, but unfortunately, it's wind beast... oh well.
Look into black rose garden. The new aromage stuff can make garden maiden and search it with a 1 card combo. Going first it locks snake eyes players out of the game since their entire extra deck cant use tokens. And with 5 tokens on board they cant normal ash. Since its a level 2.
Can't they just use I:P masq? All they need is 2 non link monsters and the tokens furfill that condition. Pretty much every decklist i know runs at least 1.
@@JessePerezStrategyGaming true but the new aromage stuff searches the trap card as part of the combo and the trap allows you to special summon an aromage from grave which is 2 summons if you summon the tuner. Meaning the free monster zones are clogged up again by the tokens. You can also search superpoly during the combo with the predaplants and use i:p to to fuse into any predaplant since its dark (which gives them another token if they cleared one by normal summoning diabelle)
@@egggge4752 I'm not denying whether they can or can't escape the lock i didnt do any research into it. I was just pointing out there is an ED monster that can be summoned.
That Centaur Mina combo is literally the combo Shield Bearer was designed for. You made it sound like a unique combo, but those are all fleur cards used by Sherry LeBlanc in the anime. Yes, even the horse, shield, and spear bearers are Fleur cards.
yes, someone in the comments was already talking about OCG using mutamorph on hugen to get maxx c and add it back to the hand in end phase. Pretty deadly stuff. I wonder what TCG can do with it? There is so much to experiment with these cards and they have much untapped future potential as well.
Yeah that was my initial impression too. Absurdly powerful for such a small restriction. But I guess that is to attempt to futureproof the card as more ED cards get graveyard effects. I forgot to even mention you can send kitkalos to the GY to mill 5 in mill decks.
Another card I'll take you up on betting being banned in 5 years' time: Small world that card is easily the most broken spell card in the game that's still unlimited. Probably will take a while for people to adopt it more, but it's just waiting to be abused.
What a great suggestion. Wow! I think you will be correct the pool for small world grows infinitely larger as any new cards are released. I think your are correct.
I was around during maximum crisis and trust me when ash came out it was absurd just fell out of favor for a couple formats after because it didn’t do much vs zoo
when nadir servant came out in ROTD, it was arguably the strongest normal spell in the game, since it threatens (in combination with maximus) to summon el shaddoll winda on the opponents turn via schaddoll schism. This was so popular, that alot of lists ran cyber dragon nova and invoked mechaba in their extradeck, just to counter maximus ...so calling nadir servant a underrated card, that most of your viewers probably never heared of, tells alot about for how long youve played this game 😅 (also, sending ntss going 2nd locks you out of the ed, so its not that good going 2nd)
My tech card that I think has so much untapped potential is Duality. I love that card in branded. It can turn dogmatika maximus or gragnuinol into a dragoon. More niche uses in branded is you can dodge veiler on aluber and summon herald of arc light. so just with a normal summon, you have ripped a card out of their hand, setup an omni-negate, and have a mini-floodgate on board and added a card. I'm sure there are many other targets outside of branded, but I haven't really looked too hard into it. EDIT: just got towards the end of the video, I see you noticed it as well lmao
dualtiy on aluber for herald locks you out of branded fusion, also you cannot use it after opening and, as long as herald is on the field, you cannot puppeet lock without expulsion (i dont even know if thats legal in md)
can mutamorphasis be used to cheat god cards to dump em in the GY from like a Chaos Angel, or will it send them to the hand. Both have end phase effects to go to different places
oh this time the subtitles stayed until the end :D chevalier de fleur can't negate on your opponent's turn, only on your own unfortunately. gnomaterial is a pretty cool side deck card though, I would like to see it more in lists.
yes! same! they finally just got all of the runick extra deck monsters too! so there is alot of potential combos. Hugen into maxx c someone mentioned in the comments sounded deadly.
when was the last time you needed to negate a spell/trap on _your turn_ *after* yoour opponent lets you combo off? sorry but chevalier is not a good enough payoff, _mayyybe_ if she was for free, next to an actual endboard, or if you could summon her before your important combo to insulate against imperm/dominus purge/the other dominus card
Great clarification! After even further research there is a bigger 1 card combo to go into baronne other better syncros that has to do with using after using spearholder to make mina a tuner it then uses its second effect tributing itself to get a "living fossil" equip card and then reviving low level of your choice 4/3/2 to go into syncro. The 3 and 2 are guaranteed to be in the GY so turboing out a 8/9 is easy but the 4 might be banished if you used the hand effect to search so there is probably something to cook up to turbo baronne. I guess you can piviot into Visas Amritira to get the visas fieldspell but now your running a whole side engine to turbo barrone and too bulky now to be efficient.
if they have the jet synchron line you would have to use it then on the jet line by using gnome on the level 8 mon. Also, The jet line has generally been regarded as suboptimal as you need a "perfect hand" with almost no interuptions for it to work out consistantly so the ED spots are better regulated for other things so there are way less jet being run. (but some suboptimal decks will still run it) Either way you would just have to change your target accordingly.
also note: if you replace gnome with ash blossom/imperm in this senario you are still getting full comboed as they have full combo and able to play around handtraps with the jet syncron line, if that is the case gnome is still better because it takes out 1+ form of interaction for next turn while imp/ash is played around or only takes out 1 interaction max.
@@JessePerezStrategyGaming You could use Gnome on Jet, yeah, if they don't have a way to remove and bring it back anymore, which isn't super likely, but maybe you have that scenario. Also, Jet Synchron is still the best line, just that you can't always actually go for it if you get interrupted too much.
And this is one reason why Baronne was just banned, another is because it would ameliorate Tenpai's weakness to going first and help make it just broken overall. 🐉
Lava golem can be searched by - "Dark Spirit's Mastery" because he is a level 8 fiend. Sphere mode can be searched by - sending "guardian slime" from your hand or field to the GY, and then by adding "The true sun god" continous spell to your hand. Or just by searching it using "the true sun god"
@@jakob1809 not necessarily, you can send guardian slime to the graveyard with Branded fusion, then revive it somehow (for example Albion) and then when it goes to the GY it can search the continous spell which will search sphere mode. That will likely take 2 turns unless you have a beastly hand though.
Could you use Nadir Servant to send Blue-Eyes Ultimate, Master of Oz, or basically any normal fusion to the graveyard, then bring them back by special summoning ways, and bypass fusion summoning? Sort of like a bootleg cyberstein?
No unfortunately any card sent was not summoned properly and cannot be reborn from the GY unless its sent back into the ED and summoned properly OR if there is some kind of card that allows for the "ignore summoning conditions" and can summon the said card from GY.
@@JessePerezStrategyGaming yeah i worked around a fiend pile with magic musket as light and a level 3 engine with the guide sangan combo. The issue is these cards are not searchable and can be bricky. We need something that would function even when they are not drawn OR a mill deck. Unfortunatly there are no good light aquas either.
Hi. I really love your videos and you delivered with this one too. An idea for a video is about maxx c if it worth to play. Lets consider that ash, droll, cbtg and cross out are the out to maxx so 12 cards(gamma can be played around thrust and talent are a bit situational but those can be included too). Lets take 1000 games and I'm going second. In how many of them do I open maxx c (not as my 6th card even tho I'm going second) ? And for those in how many games does my opponent also open one of the 12 outs ? Additionally in how many games my opponent doesn't open one of the out while I did, resulting in maxx c resolving? Any comparison between those odds in the context of the number of games being played to see if maxx c is worth playing. For context I hate drawing maxx c as my 6th and this happens a lot for some reason; and it seems like it gets negates more than it resolves so I'm interested in the actual numbers because I'm definitely biased due to the reasons stated earlier.
I think maxx c is pretty much worth it to play. Although ash is a counter to maxx c - maxx c also has the benefit of using up the opponents ash so you can realistically not worry about ash. (Only 3.64 % chance to have more than 1 ash in hand if you are running 3) However, to answer your question - running 12 outs to maxx C will give you an 85.06% chance to open the counter to it. But again, even though there are counters to the maxx C is pretty high. Those 15% games are likely free wins, and the other 85% games eliminates an ash/cbtg/crossout from the opponets hand so its net neutral and thus no real disadvantage to not running maxx c. You both end up going -1. So in the end the only real bad thing is drawing maxx c as your 6th card which is 2.85% Hope this helps! Thanks for watching. Good questions!
Did you play when invoked dogmatika shaddoll was a deck? Because immediately preceeding that format people kinda did just chuck nadir servant into every other deck. Like you're not crazy it is good, the only reason nobody plays it is that a lot of players that know about it are already over it.
I tried nadir servant in branded, which is supposed to be the 2-3rd best deck to use nadir (after dogmatika itself and lab), and honestly its a dead card going second because you cant run malong/elder entity and a win more going first, it only gets you somewhere if BF gets ashed and if you play luluwalilith (ss cartesia and add fallen of albaz). I would play Nadir with Lab and that annoying going second deck that reflects battle dmg tho
try the maximus package. sending 3 cards from ed is strong in branded. by sending rindbrumm & luluwalilith with maximus you get a ss Quem who sends fallen of albaz who can superpoly on enemys turn by banishing rindbrumm or using quems effect on their turn when you can ss ed monsters again. there is also the gimmick puppet lock line but that combo is pretty lame lol as its such a troll move.
@@JessePerezStrategyGaming I've tried that too, other CCs tried that also. Maximus in MD is too much of a gamble, since you might face lab/branded/mathmech/ritual+herald dump decks and eventually you gonna brick with it since you can't run links on your deck and most of the fusions you want them in the GY until the end phase. In the TCG you can play it on the side deck when going first if you got space, going 2nd would be 100% one more dead card
usually you use nadir servant to send sprint to summon kit in the ep to get high spirits to send albion and get a search, aka to play on your opponents turn so basically, its only good going 2nd, if the other 5 cards in your hand break the opps board but arent enough to build one yourself
@@JessePerezStrategyGaming puppet is the only reason branded is viable against snakes lol, without puppet you just cant play through their board _and_ survive their follow-up should NOT be a thing tho
Gnomaterial isn't that great that you may think since if someone can summon Snake-Eye Oak and not used it yet, they can just use it to send it to GY to summon another Snake-Eye You may stop Ambrowhale this way but it isn't stopping other
The only thing that you will see most of time is I:P is summoned by Flamberge or Field spell and since I:P is used often Ghost Ogre seem viable solution since they will just link away I:P Stop it can stop sending Flamberge at least for temporary and you also stop Appolousa or any link disruption they will throw to you
For gnomaterial it just doesn't work. In pure version you are going savage before promethean and even tho SE pure doesn't use princess as link material, they oak send it to the GY. And against fire king bro is just going apo before promethean and the fire king loop
If they are running jet (which is imo suboptimal) you have to use the gnome on the level 7 monster they summon. Don't use it on jet unless it already used it's reborn effect. Then it's stuck.
@@JessePerezStrategyGaming it's really not usefull against se i think cause if they play pure (wich is the best version) they can send as clst the monster if needed or just leave it on the field at best it trades with 1 omni (same as imperm). And against fire king bro can just kirin or island
Only promethian princess will lock into fire and thats only when she is on the field. the lock is gone when she is not on the field. The combo is you use snake eyes flamberge to put any cards in the GY to the backrow then on your opponets turn you can ss them with temple or flamberge from the backrow. Typically its done with I:P masq but it can be used to recycle an opponents baronne de Fluer, other monsters with strong effects/negates/other good cards. There is alot of utility because it acts like a monster reborn.
@JessePerezStrategyGaming wow that is incredible. Thank you for that breakdown. This card sounds awesome to try out and very easy to access when put like that. 🔥
Re: Hop Ear Squadron, it's a sneaky good card in the upcoming Exodia deck. Millennium Cross wipes your field of non-archetype monsters and prevents summoning for the rest of the turn. Hop Ear gets around both restrictions.
12:16 Interesting selection so far. 13:25 This is a good card! It is a zombie virus card! I like that! 14:05 It is. You may not get the stats, but the effects of that card is still active. 14:29 I think I got this card. It resets the monster zone field.
chevalier negates only durring your turn... so it's infinitely worse than baron. even if it was generic, not needing the fleur synchron - it'd still be infinitely worse than baron.
Excellent point thank you! The card is not as strong then, interesting the runic player had that in his deck. The pop is still good though and fetching equip spells with that combo might still have alot of unexplored potential. Probably would explore other level 8 synchros in that case good thing 8 is a decent synchro number.
@@JessePerezStrategyGamingEven the original Stardust Dragon sitting there saying no touchy the Fountain would be annoying to deal with against Runick, and if you wanted to pivot Noble Knight back into actual Noble Knights, Accel Synchro Stardust Dragon can revive one of your many Level 1 Tuner options like Jet Synchron or Effect Veiler to make Noble Knight Emperor Chuck Norris himself.
I mostly ignore modern meta in my deck building because I don't care to participate in competitive stuff. I'm not interested in optimizing the fun out of the game nor am I interested in combos that last longer than 2 minutes, not including thinking time. I aim to find fun and interesting interactions in short combos of no more than very few actions taken per turn. To minimize solitaire as much as humanly possible and distil every action into something ACTUALLY fast and powerful enough to make meta slaves cry tears of blood. Just because you can do a lot of stuff in one turn of yugioh doesn't make it "fast". The more actions you cram into one turn, the slower you are in my eyes, because you are spending time to take those actions...lots and lots of precious time I can never get back every time I wait through those boring long flashy combos that end on more or less the same set of generic boss monsters plus meta flavor of the year boss monsters. I find competitive yugioh to be boring to watch, unfun to play (if meta slaves are involved and something unique isnt presented) People are unimaginative and boring, thinking in terms for "this or that package" or "this or that engine" or "this searcher or that searcher" or "this or that extender" ash this maxx c that tearlaments this kashtira that blah blah blah...boring af right down to the naming schemes..like freaking american pharmaceuticals and their grab bag of ass pill names Fun is all that matters, and I build my decks for fun and exploritory reasons. I win and lose about 50-50 the time and I am ok with it. If I am having fun, thats what counts. Learn to play less with yourselves and more with your opponent, and vice versa for the opponent. We need a happy balance between time taken per turn, actions taken per turn, and number of total turns per duel in order to increase the fun factor for more people imo
What a refreshing take. I feel the same way I often look for decks that go against the grain and put the extra challenge in making better decks. I love theory crafting and finding new and exciting synergies that are undiscovered. I do believe there is so much less back and forth and that is becuase of cards like accesscode talker that can otk you in 1 turn if you dont put up a board. hopefully konami can make more defensive cards in the future viable. I think more cards like typhoon are a step in the right direction.
I like the direction of this video. It is just useless with the current amount of powercreep. Normally I am a sucker for finding a group of cards with synergy, but it just doesn’t matter, because meta decks are too strong. Even my previous best card synergy are not viable. Nothing works, if you don’t play the 15 meta cards with high synergy.
Mutamorphosis with the runick mane can help the Generaider deck to start combos. I want to point out some cards that can be helpful techs: Soundproofed and Arrivalrival. Soundproofed can stop the meta Tempai Dragon deck and mixed with Dimensional Barrier can be lethal. On the other side Arrivalrivals can be useful in Tenpai, you can skip all your main phase one and star directly the battle phase. At the start of the battle phase you can activate for example Anti Spell Arrows and then chain Arrivalrivals or the quick play spell of the Tenpai. And then after you are protected against spell and traps like Fobidden Droplets, impermanence and you dodge nibiru, veiler and promethean princess as they must activate during the main phase. I also play constantly the combo of Black Garden in combination with Summoning Curse in my Dinosaur deck to rip off my opponent's hand on my turn one as you can manage to fusion summon the dinosaur that activates the fields directly from the deck or play Black Rose Maiden to search for Black Rose field spell and start the rip off 😂 or lock them with the tokens
Cursed Seal of the Forbidden Spell is a great card. Who gives a shit about it being "slow". It's a counter trap. It bans any spell it hits. Meanwhile "C" is a monster card. Do you have any idea how much shit is geared toward shutting monster effects? Use Cursed Seal on....say Branded Fusion, they can't use it anymore. Kashtira Rebirth...Gone. The one sky striker card they need to do anything...GONE. Runick Fountain......GONE. Use Retaliation C, it's going to get shut down cuz it's still on the field. They see it. They know what's up and they aren't playing your weak game.
retaliating c is a handtrap tho, you could chain it to oss for example, or basically any spell in branded, runick spells, drytron nova if that gets relevant again, ... AND if it dies it gets you maxx c if legal
Duality is a card, that I don’t see being broken:
-It is strong in some decks like cyber dragon, but the card design is very intentional and limiting.
Metamorphosis on the other hand is a very capable generic card.
As the current best engine for it is runic:
-You have specific levels to tutor for.
Trust me: Dogmatika Runick is such an underrated deck. Literally Pot of Greed. I should see if Shield Bearer has any applications too in that deck.
I never tried that particular combo - Might have to try it out because i love runick decks. I was playing pure dogmatika last season the only problem was alba zoa was vulnerable to flamberge/labyrinth since they weren't ED monsters. But man the feeling of euphoria and dopamine when i matched again superheavy samurai was a blast!
If the Extra deck isn't too tight, you could slot in some Tuner Synchros that allow you to Quick Synchro on your opponent's turn to climb from Hop-Ear Squadron into Baronne or Chengying.
@@xCorvus7x I'll keep that in mind. I do have a micro Albaz package in there though to get over Naturia Beast and cards like it since Albaz can be turbo'd out with Incredible Ecclesia, so i do have to be somewhat mindful of the space in my extra deck. Its strictly a control strategy. But yeah, the list is heavily inspired by Joshua Schmidt's old Bystial Runick list (just without much Bystials at all and with a Dogmatika package because I can't let this archetype go, lmao)
I'll see what I have room for. If i'm good at anything, its condensing packages. I may need to move Iris Swordsoul to the side deck to make space in the main deck for other stuff. She's generally at her best going first anyhow.
@@NotControlledByMillipedes Monarchs clash with the Runick monsters, though.
I like that you use some cards most people dont and take everything into consideration
Yeah i really like to examine cards from multiple angles and scrutinize why we use certain cards and why we don't. Also I go in depth into many mathematical videos and look at them from a statistical point of view. Thanks for watching and joining!
When you walked through the combo used in that Runick list, starting with Noble Knight's Shield-Bearer & ending on Chevalier de Fleur I laughed, because that's _exactly_ what the combo is supposed to do, or rather that was the intended combo/synergy of using those cards when they were being designed lmao - if you played the list/combo pure, it's possible to end on Baronne & Chevalier but you'd need to know your combo lines and play/open more pieces.
It references the (criminally underrated) duel from 5Ds that those cards debuted in, being Yusei vs Sherry. 😁
Edit: Just realised Shield-Bearer can be used to search Flying Elephant 😂
Just watched the anime match because of your comment. Its funny because you would think the "NOBLE KNIGHT" monsters have to do with the noble knight archtype but really are team fleur.
Also i like how they made her french like the archtype was designed. Her name being sherry is a nice nod to the famous french line in movies "mon cheri" which means "my dear"
Her Noble Knight's debuted in the anime back in 2009. Three years before the TCG Noble Knight Archetype you are referencing.
They just remained anime-only for about a decade and ended up being printed with additional effects. So it makes sense they primarily boost her strategy.
@@BlazeQuadZ yeah in the anime they were called "Sacred Knight's"
@@dancostello4872 Only in the localization.
The "Noble Knight" archetype is referred to as "Holy Knight" in the OCG. This includes the anime and games.
As such the "Noble Knight's" (or technically "Holy Knight's") archetype debuted in 2009.
That use of Gnomaterial is very interesting.
Shield-Bearer has so much potential. I first saw that card played in Jesse Kotton's Crystal Beast deck against Sam.
I’m glad shield bearer gets some love, I play it in my Crystal beast control deck to search sapphire Pegasus
I get so sad/mad when I see these ninja profiles and they leave out Shield Bearer. I reckon you probably feel the same way too with crystal beasts lol. Shield bearer is the man.
@@JessePerezStrategyGaming justice for sherry from 5Ds because she’s the one that uses the Fleur cards and centaur Mina in the anime
Something fun you can do with the centaur mina line is search snatch steal and then make the rank 6 vampire
Oooo yeah your right that is pretty cool! What a unique line and it works easily because of spear holder.
Great video. Thanks for telling us about some cool combos. Love to see what you do next.
Glad you liked the combo - i tried showcasing a lesser known but sill potentially powerful combos to know especially as more cards get released some of these cards get more targets and grow in power.
That second card is the exact type of stupid BS that i love to craft around lmao
The fun part is because it has "Noble Knight" in his name you can use "Heritage of the chalice" to search him.
Just thinking about the fact that someone used the entire Sherry package in a Runick variant has me cracking up.
If I had to share my favorite obscure tech card, i don't know if i could give a straight answer, so i'll just say Rookie Warrior Lady. She provides good GY recursion in Amazoness and is also a Dark Honest on top of that.
just looked at rookie warrior lady. seems like such a busted card has some very strong effects!
Duality in Dogmatika is really good. Summon Fleurdelis to negate an opponent's monster, then Duality it away for Dragoon onmi-negate. it won't have the pop, and you won't get to summon it back from grave or when banished, but what's better than a monster negate into an onmi-negate on your opponent's turn?
He’s back! With another amazing video!!! Thank you Jesse! I am now working on a morphtronic deck and flower cardian deck for casual play!!!
Thanks as always! I have started playing with the flower cardians and getting to lightflare is so hard lol. but i am not running optimal lines yet and still learning. The deckbuilding part of that deck is the most important part so i need to play around with ratios to get it right lol.
You really need to open “Flower Summoning” and the lvl 6 tuner rose with peony!!! since the deck struggles a lot with monster negates I am main decking 3 lost wind! It does whif when I draw it off a cardian effect, but can reset itself from grave!! The “best” board I have gotten: light flare, light shower and the level 12 Paul, that is a battle phase negate! Keep on keeping on duelist!
Other cool cards to get from Shield-Bearer:
Dynatherium - free level 4 body
Red Hared Hasty Horse - free lvl 5
To add to the hasty horse comment - Chromonaly Viimana is a very potent rank 5 monster with a generic monster negate but also an in archtype absorb as well. There might be something to look into with that combo as well Ill have to mabye do some further testing.
Good examples!
@@JessePerezStrategyGaming also durendal is basically an omni, as long as you have backrow to pop
16:40 mutamorphosis can do a Lot for Icejade/Ice barriers. Tribute tatsunoko lv3 then you summon the LV 3 Icejade that searches an Icejade spell.
Also tribute coral dragon for +1 then summon lvl 6 georgious. You can have revealer summon mirror Mage, synchro coral dragon -> search LV 5 general and then tribute coral for georgious, georgious SS the LV 5 general to search any spell/trap.
Granguignol the dusk dragon is a level 8 light spellcaster that can easily be summoned using Blazing Cartezia. You activate duality and boom, Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon.
the devouring sarcophagus was the saving grace of my deck when I tried the master duel masochist challenge, not that powerful but very neat and helped me get rid of monsters I otherwise could not with a deck built of only random master pack pulls
i wish masochist was a game mode! i don't want to start over on a new account lol. Konami when is the N/R event coming back!?
Shield bearer searches rampengu which is a one card combo for ritual beast with the new support
Ooooo thats a good one! Nice find!
Heh 😅
Ive noticed in recent years Konami is giving us more monsters that summon to the opponent's side of the field. Potential techs for this could be summoning curse and quiet life.
your right! I think they are doing this because imperm is becoming a +3 staple must have in decks. Being able to Turn off imperm is an enticing strategy for all decks. Summoning Curse is an excellent side board card if you know your going 1st. Love that tech idea.
And even Flamberge can place monster card to turn off Imperm or Evenly on their empty board
@@JessePerezStrategyGamingThat's yet another reason why Imperm is OP compared to regular hand traps: being an actual Trap means disqualifying its hand activation doesn't stop it, it only slows it down as it can still be set and sprung from the field like any Normal Trap.
Zombie lover here, a few tips for Devouring Sarcophagus.
You can use Avengdread Savior, attack into a powerful or problem boss monster. Savior can send one zombie from the deck to the grave once per turn during one battle. You send Sarcophagus, Savior gets destroyed, then you non target take control of that monster.
You can use Alghoul Mazera to protect it from destruction if a monster attacks or destruction effect. This allows you to have a bit more control over which opponent's monster you take.
The Patrician of Darkness allows you to choose your opponent's attack targets. Allowing you to force them to attack into your defense Sarcophagus.
With Uni Zombie and Zombie World, you can send Glow Up Bloom to the grave, use Blooms effect to Special Summon Changshi the Spiridao. Use Changshi to send Sarcophagus to the grave. Then use Changshi and Uni Zombie to go into Savior. Then attack and send Alghoul Mazera to the grave. This way, if you get attacked, you can either Special summon Alghoul and protect your monster(s), or use Sarcophagus to take control of whatever destroyed your monster.
Zombie support supports any archetype because of Zombie World or DNA Surgery.
Damn. So glad i subscribed from your last video. Ninjas is 1 synchro and 1 more in archetype searcher from being top tier.
Shield-Bearer/Hop Ear is my favorite Generaider variant. Personally, I think Hop Ear has more synergy because you can optimize unusable tokens and you can optimize the handrip effect with Harr + Desert Locust. The Spearholder is a good tech in Brigade GladBeast. With the horse, you can summon Borreload with Shuraig for big boost or Ferijit for 1 "mulligan" next turn.
i love hop ear in generaiders. such a good control deck. you go into phantom fortress enterblathnir they discard... use harr.. they discard... use locust swarm... guess what.. discard!
The Noble Knights line is the Sherry LeBlanc deck from the event in Duel Links to a T.
funny because you would think "noble knights" would be more in line with the noble knight archtype but really support a completely different family.
Sided cursed seal against a runick mirror and it blew them out completely both times. This card on fountain ends the game almost immediately
Mutamorphosis is being used on runick Synchron Bystial. It targets the lvl 6 altergeist synchro to trigger its effect and bring out a bystial from the deck
I knew mutamorphosis was a good card the second I saw it. In the OCG they summon hugin, activate mutamorphosis, free up the ED zone, and summon maxx c.
End phase maxx c goes to hand. BUSTED.
Wow that is deadly! Maxx C in a runic players hand goes even harder than other decks too.
Spright could do that but you usually don't see that cause it need more effort to just do that
How do you return maxx c to hand?
@@imandabayu4712 If u have Swap Frog u can return summoned Maxx "C" to hand OR you can use Herald of Pure Light to return it to hand
@@imandabayu4712 mutamorphosis returns the target special summoned in end phase.
Centaur Mina is obvious synergy, because all of the cards were released in the same set.
In some sense it is the intended instruction set.
I watched on recommendation a yugioh anime video. Apparently there is a character that uses this and they are technically all one archtype.
I find it interesting because the "NOBLE KNIGHT" shield bearer and spearholder is technically part of the noble knight archtype with their name but goes more to the fleur archetype then nobleknights.
@@JessePerezStrategyGaming
I also thought, that it was quite interesting, that it is an official noble knight card.
On the other hand, the title of „noble knight“ is more generic than prank-kids.
It probably isn’t part of the new card design.
Still it is very interesting to have dual archetype cards:
-mekka-orcust
-all the cartesia and the dogmatika despia card
There are a bunch of other examples in recent times.
It is interesting, because there is such power in combining different synergies.
The tri archetypes are very interesting for that manor.
(nature: plant, insect, reptiles)
(beast: winged beast, beast, beast warrior)
(machine: cyberse, psychic, machine)
Some of these new synergies are so specific, they might as well be official archetype support.
The light fiend support is magical musketeer support, that just isn’t named that way.
Even the first link-1 was very pushed in power level. It didn’t work, so a whole archetype was specifically made to make the deck viable.
The design is so interesting, but the overpowered cards such as snakes eyes, maybe horus make the game uninteresting.
i think the 20% usage of ash wasnt as much as it was nieche but more like the 100$ price tag
ash was actually not good against zoodiac and only ok against true draco. Everyone knew it was insane, but it just didnt fit into the format other than being sided for grass decks
Glad to see some love being shown to gnomaterial. Very underrated card. I use it in my fairy deck since she can also be use to pitch for herald hand traps.
Duality and shadow's light are both very underrated cards.
Duality specifically has a lot of potential as a way to dodge targeting effects since it's a quick play. If a deck has a light or dark starter and is able to pair well with an opposite attribute like Aleister the invoker + blazing cartesia, I think it has a lot of potential.
absolutely. my favorite part is that duality basically pays for itself. Shadows light is a weird card that i still havent figured out yet. Very hard to find a deck for shadows light but since more cards keep releasing every day its good to have on the radar.
Glad we're talking about Gnomaterial, it was lackluster on release but with the way the metagame has evolved over the years, it can be useful
Mutamorphisis can make a great bridge into my horus cards from my dark magician/toy box/cartesia cards. You get imsety as a pretty strong body and then next turn can use his discard effect in the hand to bring out sarc + draw 1
Oh thats super strong and provides great followup for the next turn. Pretty much so long as your able to survive until then your followup is potentially even better than your turn 1 plays!
@@JessePerezStrategyGaming Yea, toybox magician soul and horus can create so many bodies and advantage that I'm starting to think about if I should be putting crimson dragon in and a couple of the primetime dragon targets its has. And if they cant pop sarc and go after any of my other cards if I just leave the Horus monsters on the field I can go like +4 to +12 from their trigger effects
Maybe you can make a video covering Light Warrior monsters? The typing feels so rare and niche, it's difficult to find routes with say, Poker Knights.
Tri-Edge Master, Idaten and Gilti-Gearfried are the main routes I go for.
Exosisters XYZ and Utopia cards are also good light warriors are far as ED for utility. You are probably locked into light warriors but if you aren't lightsworn raiden is good with charge of the light brigade being one of my favorite searchers for the mill 3 addition. Its a level 4 tuner so you can do alot with that.
@@JessePerezStrategyGamingMy Face Card Knight ED is basically half R4nk Xyzes from ZeXal such as a Utopia toolbox, Heroic Champions Excalibur and Claivesolish, Photon Alexandra Queen, Starliege Paladynamo...
noone remembers satellarknights lol
or constellar, to some extend
this guy: " here's my list of underated cards"
reality: "here's a list of really trash and super situational cards that will more than likely be just there to brick your hands."
I've gotten Master Rank solely off the back of noble knight shield bearer in ninjas 🥷. Some of these cards are far more deadly than they appear at first glance.
(*but i also agree some are only really good for speciifc niche side deck specific matchups)
Umm. You do realize that when you use cursed seal of the forbidden spell, it locks them out of "all copies" of that card...right?. Not just the one... For the rest of the duel.
I just found this channel. I subscribed please make more videos like this
Thats awesome! Welcome to the fam! Hope to make many more videos for you to enjoy!
Kasha is a great zombie card. Endless decay can flip games under the right circumstances as well.
thats cool to know! :) maybe i have to try a zombie deck soon!
@JessePerezStrategyGaming yeah they have a lot of good generic stuff. If you run a deck that mills itself like skull servants you can throw in doomking, banshee, and zombie world for some free negates. Shiranui spectralsword is an easy synchro in the gy as well. Also can run a super poly package to summon predaplants and nethersoul dragon pretty easy if it's dark types. Make sure to use avendread savior and vampire sucker if you're gonna make a zomb deck as well. Alghoul mazera is also a must
Your content always great bro👍
Thank you! I appreciate the hype. I am really glad you enjoyed the video.
If you play sword soul gold sarc is a solid tech as long asyou run a second black out.
Good one! Gold sarc IS a great tech there are sooo many things you can do with that! I love seeing all the cool things people do with their techs!
retaliating c is real good tech card in traptrix deck since it literately can search almost every starter/extender in the deck
i didn't even think of traptrix! lol i know that retaliating C is a menance in beetroopers. Looking foward to the Raika engine cards coming soon.
This is probably the first time I’ve seen anyone mention the other “C” cards, especially in a useful manner
I believe in shield bearer. I feel like that card is waiting to become a staple in a wind deck or good engine.
It's my go to card in Ninjas
not sure if they play it in ritual beasts
Duality literally says: "cheat out Red Eyes Dragoon from your extra Deck". The only issue with it it's that you need to build your Deck and extra Deck around it, but since I saw it I knew it was broken.
yes the card is very powerful and i agree currently we have to build around the card. I think the shift in power is when the card can finally just be thrown in a deck without being built around
I've been using Shared Ride in some of my decks instead of droll & lock. For any deck that plays on the opponents turn (where droll would also hurt you) it's actually cracked.
Devouring sarcophagus goes hard in my masochist deck
oooo i wish they made that an official game mode in Master Duel. I would like to see either that or draft mode. I don't want to make a whole new account to do a masochist run lol.
@@JessePerezStrategyGaming master duel has so much potential with stuff like that but most of the events are pretty ass imo. Atleast we get limit one back. I'd play a draft mode all day long though
Cursed seal is good going first or second in decks that play traps or against decks that use spells as a main part of their strategy. Just because it isnt an otk card that doesnt mean its bad. Not everyone wants to otk.
You could use Mutamorphosis to tribute an opponent fusion or synchro with lair of darkness
7:46 im sorry, what?
it should be "reborn type cards" lmao. I use text to subtitles for the subtitles and do alot of editing to fix some errors but i miss a few lol. But now i only hear what the text to subtitles say im saying!
when i heard you talk about Noble Knight's Shield-Bearer, i heard winged beast... so I think that might be useful for my harpie deck, but unfortunately, it's wind beast... oh well.
Look into black rose garden. The new aromage stuff can make garden maiden and search it with a 1 card combo.
Going first it locks snake eyes players out of the game since their entire extra deck cant use tokens. And with 5 tokens on board they cant normal ash. Since its a level 2.
Can't they just use I:P masq? All they need is 2 non link monsters and the tokens furfill that condition. Pretty much every decklist i know runs at least 1.
You could even tribute summon Diabellstar if necessary
@@JessePerezStrategyGaming true but the new aromage stuff searches the trap card as part of the combo and the trap allows you to special summon an aromage from grave which is 2 summons if you summon the tuner. Meaning the free monster zones are clogged up again by the tokens.
You can also search superpoly during the combo with the predaplants and use i:p to to fuse into any predaplant since its dark (which gives them another token if they cleared one by normal summoning diabelle)
@@egggge4752 I'm not denying whether they can or can't escape the lock i didnt do any research into it. I was just pointing out there is an ED monster that can be summoned.
That Centaur Mina combo is literally the combo Shield Bearer was designed for. You made it sound like a unique combo, but those are all fleur cards used by Sherry LeBlanc in the anime. Yes, even the horse, shield, and spear bearers are Fleur cards.
mutamorphis could be good in runick?
yes, someone in the comments was already talking about OCG using mutamorph on hugen to get maxx c and add it back to the hand in end phase. Pretty deadly stuff. I wonder what TCG can do with it? There is so much to experiment with these cards and they have much untapped future potential as well.
I was certain nadir servant was a whole turn deal and not "after using the card"...
Yeah that was my initial impression too. Absurdly powerful for such a small restriction. But I guess that is to attempt to futureproof the card as more ED cards get graveyard effects. I forgot to even mention you can send kitkalos to the GY to mill 5 in mill decks.
@@JessePerezStrategyGaming ...and lock yourself in the process?
I think harmonic synchro fusion definitely should be in the list at the end of this video
Another card I'll take you up on betting being banned in 5 years' time: Small world
that card is easily the most broken spell card in the game that's still unlimited. Probably will take a while for people to adopt it more, but it's just waiting to be abused.
What a great suggestion. Wow! I think you will be correct the pool for small world grows infinitely larger as any new cards are released. I think your are correct.
why would you ban small world? sure it can search any monster for -1, but thats it, banning it would just reduce the consistency
I was around during maximum crisis and trust me when ash came out it was absurd just fell out of favor for a couple formats after because it didn’t do much vs zoo
Shield bearer in ninjas is goated. Baku or Hop ear for huge plays
when nadir servant came out in ROTD, it was arguably the strongest normal spell in the game, since it threatens (in combination with maximus) to summon el shaddoll winda on the opponents turn via schaddoll schism.
This was so popular, that alot of lists ran cyber dragon nova and invoked mechaba in their extradeck, just to counter maximus
...so calling nadir servant a underrated card, that most of your viewers probably never heared of, tells alot about for how long youve played this game 😅
(also, sending ntss going 2nd locks you out of the ed, so its not that good going 2nd)
Hooray, I knew all of these. :)
thats impressive! do you have any sleeper cards that you personally enjoy?
My tech card that I think has so much untapped potential is Duality. I love that card in branded. It can turn dogmatika maximus or gragnuinol into a dragoon. More niche uses in branded is you can dodge veiler on aluber and summon herald of arc light. so just with a normal summon, you have ripped a card out of their hand, setup an omni-negate, and have a mini-floodgate on board and added a card. I'm sure there are many other targets outside of branded, but I haven't really looked too hard into it.
EDIT: just got towards the end of the video, I see you noticed it as well lmao
dualtiy on aluber for herald locks you out of branded fusion, also you cannot use it after opening
and, as long as herald is on the field, you cannot puppeet lock without expulsion (i dont even know if thats legal in md)
can mutamorphasis be used to cheat god cards to dump em in the GY from like a Chaos Angel, or will it send them to the hand. Both have end phase effects to go to different places
oh this time the subtitles stayed until the end :D
chevalier de fleur can't negate on your opponent's turn, only on your own unfortunately. gnomaterial is a pretty cool side deck card though, I would like to see it more in lists.
Can't wait for mutamorphosis in MD and try out runick vanquish soul
yes! same! they finally just got all of the runick extra deck monsters too! so there is alot of potential combos. Hugen into maxx c someone mentioned in the comments sounded deadly.
Holy crap you look 20 years younger just shaving that beard
:D
I love retaliating "C"! What are your thoughts on Contact "C"?
(I was also gonna ask about sneaky C but you did mention it, I like the "C" cards haha)
when was the last time you needed to negate a spell/trap on _your turn_ *after* yoour opponent lets you combo off? sorry but chevalier is not a good enough payoff, _mayyybe_ if she was for free, next to an actual endboard, or if you could summon her before your important combo to insulate against imperm/dominus purge/the other dominus card
Chevalier is ok but only negates during your turn
Great clarification!
After even further research there is a bigger 1 card combo to go into baronne other better syncros that has to do with using after using spearholder to make mina a tuner it then uses its second effect tributing itself to get a "living fossil" equip card and then reviving low level of your choice 4/3/2 to go into syncro.
The 3 and 2 are guaranteed to be in the GY so turboing out a 8/9 is easy but the 4 might be banished if you used the hand effect to search so there is probably something to cook up to turbo baronne.
I guess you can piviot into Visas Amritira to get the visas fieldspell but now your running a whole side engine to turbo barrone and too bulky now to be efficient.
Gnomaterial does nothing to Promethean, in the good combo, you get rid of Promethean with Baronne or by using Oak to send it.
if they have the jet synchron line you would have to use it then on the jet line by using gnome on the level 8 mon. Also, The jet line has generally been regarded as suboptimal as you need a "perfect hand" with almost no interuptions for it to work out consistantly so the ED spots are better regulated for other things so there are way less jet being run. (but some suboptimal decks will still run it) Either way you would just have to change your target accordingly.
also note: if you replace gnome with ash blossom/imperm in this senario you are still getting full comboed as they have full combo and able to play around handtraps with the jet syncron line, if that is the case gnome is still better because it takes out 1+ form of interaction for next turn while imp/ash is played around or only takes out 1 interaction max.
@@JessePerezStrategyGaming You could use Gnome on Jet, yeah, if they don't have a way to remove and bring it back anymore, which isn't super likely, but maybe you have that scenario.
Also, Jet Synchron is still the best line, just that you can't always actually go for it if you get interrupted too much.
And this is one reason why Baronne was just banned, another is because it would ameliorate Tenpai's weakness to going first and help make it just broken overall. 🐉
How can I search a lava golem or a sphere mode ina branded deck?
Lava golem can be searched by - "Dark Spirit's Mastery" because he is a level 8 fiend.
Sphere mode can be searched by - sending "guardian slime" from your hand or field to the GY, and then by adding "The true sun god" continous spell to your hand. Or just by searching it using "the true sun god"
@@JessePerezStrategyGaming sooo draw lava golem/sphere mode or draw its searcher 🙃
so you cant search lava golem/sphere mode in branded
@@jakob1809 not necessarily, you can send guardian slime to the graveyard with Branded fusion, then revive it somehow (for example Albion) and then when it goes to the GY it can search the continous spell which will search sphere mode. That will likely take 2 turns unless you have a beastly hand though.
@@JessePerezStrategyGaming for which fusion?
Could you use Nadir Servant to send Blue-Eyes Ultimate, Master of Oz, or basically any normal fusion to the graveyard, then bring them back by special summoning ways, and bypass fusion summoning? Sort of like a bootleg cyberstein?
No unfortunately any card sent was not summoned properly and cannot be reborn from the GY unless its sent back into the ED and summoned properly OR if there is some kind of card that allows for the "ignore summoning conditions" and can summon the said card from GY.
@@JessePerezStrategyGaming not even "ignoring summoning conditions" lets you reborn a monster, that wasnt properly summoned
nice content man!
Chevalier the Fleur only works during your OWN turn 7:40
Part of the 3% using shield bearer to search Baku
Let's go fellow ninja enjoyer! Super strong and underrated archetype because of their difficulty to pilot
and how are snake-eyes supposed to bring back a wind warrior synchro?
Not even 5 years. I give it 3 years at max
ill have to think about going into hibernation and locking myself in a room and figuring out some busted combinations.
@@JessePerezStrategyGaming yeah i worked around a fiend pile with magic musket as light and a level 3 engine with the guide sangan combo. The issue is these cards are not searchable and can be bricky. We need something that would function even when they are not drawn OR a mill deck. Unfortunatly there are no good light aquas either.
Hi. I really love your videos and you delivered with this one too.
An idea for a video is about maxx c if it worth to play. Lets consider that ash, droll, cbtg and cross out are the out to maxx so 12 cards(gamma can be played around thrust and talent are a bit situational but those can be included too). Lets take 1000 games and I'm going second. In how many of them do I open maxx c (not as my 6th card even tho I'm going second) ?
And for those in how many games does my opponent also open one of the 12 outs ? Additionally in how many games my opponent doesn't open one of the out while I did, resulting in maxx c resolving? Any comparison between those odds in the context of the number of games being played to see if maxx c is worth playing.
For context I hate drawing maxx c as my 6th and this happens a lot for some reason; and it seems like it gets negates more than it resolves so I'm interested in the actual numbers because I'm definitely biased due to the reasons stated earlier.
I think maxx c is pretty much worth it to play. Although ash is a counter to maxx c - maxx c also has the benefit of using up the opponents ash so you can realistically not worry about ash.
(Only 3.64 % chance to have more than 1 ash in hand if you are running 3)
However, to answer your question - running 12 outs to maxx C will give you an 85.06% chance to open the counter to it. But again, even though there are counters to the maxx C is pretty high. Those 15% games are likely free wins, and the other 85% games eliminates an ash/cbtg/crossout from the opponets hand so its net neutral and thus no real disadvantage to not running maxx c.
You both end up going -1. So in the end the only real bad thing is drawing maxx c as your 6th card which is 2.85% Hope this helps!
Thanks for watching. Good questions!
7:45 MONSTER WHAT TYPE LMAO
Lmao Sorry :D should be "monster reBORN" TYPE cards, cards that bring themselves from the graveyard, or others back from the GY :D
@@JessePerezStrategyGaming yeah i figured, its completly fine, just gave me a laugh also great video love the presentation
I’ve been miserable in this game lately, but shield bearer makes it a little better.
Did you play when invoked dogmatika shaddoll was a deck? Because immediately preceeding that format people kinda did just chuck nadir servant into every other deck. Like you're not crazy it is good, the only reason nobody plays it is that a lot of players that know about it are already over it.
I tried nadir servant in branded, which is supposed to be the 2-3rd best deck to use nadir (after dogmatika itself and lab), and honestly its a dead card going second because you cant run malong/elder entity and a win more going first, it only gets you somewhere if BF gets ashed and if you play luluwalilith (ss cartesia and add fallen of albaz). I would play Nadir with Lab and that annoying going second deck that reflects battle dmg tho
try the maximus package. sending 3 cards from ed is strong in branded. by sending rindbrumm & luluwalilith with maximus you get a ss Quem who sends fallen of albaz who can superpoly on enemys turn by banishing rindbrumm or using quems effect on their turn when you can ss ed monsters again.
there is also the gimmick puppet lock line but that combo is pretty lame lol as its such a troll move.
@@JessePerezStrategyGaming I've tried that too, other CCs tried that also. Maximus in MD is too much of a gamble, since you might face lab/branded/mathmech/ritual+herald dump decks and eventually you gonna brick with it since you can't run links on your deck and most of the fusions you want them in the GY until the end phase. In the TCG you can play it on the side deck when going first if you got space, going 2nd would be 100% one more dead card
@@JessePerezStrategyGaming however I do like your ideas of running gnomaterial and ret "c" on the side, will try it in md in other decks too
usually you use nadir servant to send sprint to summon kit in the ep to get high spirits to send albion and get a search, aka to play on your opponents turn
so basically, its only good going 2nd, if the other 5 cards in your hand break the opps board but arent enough to build one yourself
@@JessePerezStrategyGaming puppet is the only reason branded is viable against snakes lol, without puppet you just cant play through their board _and_ survive their follow-up
should NOT be a thing tho
Gnomaterial isn't that great that you may think since if someone can summon Snake-Eye Oak and not used it yet, they can just use it to send it to GY to summon another Snake-Eye
You may stop Ambrowhale this way but it isn't stopping other
The only thing that you will see most of time is I:P is summoned by Flamberge or Field spell and since I:P is used often Ghost Ogre seem viable solution since they will just link away I:P
Stop it can stop sending Flamberge at least for temporary and you also stop Appolousa or any link disruption they will throw to you
For gnomaterial it just doesn't work. In pure version you are going savage before promethean and even tho SE pure doesn't use princess as link material, they oak send it to the GY. And against fire king bro is just going apo before promethean and the fire king loop
If they are running jet (which is imo suboptimal) you have to use the gnome on the level 7 monster they summon. Don't use it on jet unless it already used it's reborn effect. Then it's stuck.
@@JessePerezStrategyGaming it's really not usefull against se i think cause if they play pure (wich is the best version) they can send as clst the monster if needed or just leave it on the field at best it trades with 1 omni (same as imperm). And against fire king bro can just kirin or island
@@JessePerezStrategyGaming other than that it was cool
And that's one reason why Savage Dragon was just banned.
I can use nadir to send Dark magician the dragon knight and special them from the gy?
cards need to be properly summoned in the first place to be summoned from gy, so the answer is no
How do you get back De Fleur in SE? They lock you into fire I thought.
Only promethian princess will lock into fire and thats only when she is on the field. the lock is gone when she is not on the field. The combo is you use snake eyes flamberge to put any cards in the GY to the backrow then on your opponets turn you can ss them with temple or flamberge from the backrow. Typically its done with I:P masq but it can be used to recycle an opponents baronne de Fluer, other monsters with strong effects/negates/other good cards. There is alot of utility because it acts like a monster reborn.
@JessePerezStrategyGaming wow that is incredible. Thank you for that breakdown. This card sounds awesome to try out and very easy to access when put like that. 🔥
Re: Hop Ear Squadron, it's a sneaky good card in the upcoming Exodia deck. Millennium Cross wipes your field of non-archetype monsters and prevents summoning for the rest of the turn. Hop Ear gets around both restrictions.
Lulu also let’s u ss centurion primera at end phase :)
Good catch!
12:16 Interesting selection so far.
13:25 This is a good card! It is a zombie virus card! I like that!
14:05 It is. You may not get the stats, but the effects of that card is still active.
14:29 I think I got this card. It resets the monster zone field.
chevalier negates only durring your turn... so it's infinitely worse than baron. even if it was generic, not needing the fleur synchron - it'd still be infinitely worse than baron.
Excellent point thank you! The card is not as strong then, interesting the runic player had that in his deck. The pop is still good though and fetching equip spells with that combo might still have alot of unexplored potential. Probably would explore other level 8 synchros in that case good thing 8 is a decent synchro number.
@@JessePerezStrategyGamingEven the original Stardust Dragon sitting there saying no touchy the Fountain would be annoying to deal with against Runick, and if you wanted to pivot Noble Knight back into actual Noble Knights, Accel Synchro Stardust Dragon can revive one of your many Level 1 Tuner options like Jet Synchron or Effect Veiler to make Noble Knight Emperor Chuck Norris himself.
That retaliating C combo is good but against Branded it would be cheeks no? Mirrorjade can just banish Retaliating "C"
Mirrorjade has to send from the ED to GY as a cost. He wouldn't be able to use his effect in the first place.
@@JessePerezStrategyGaming oh right it NEEDS to hit the grave 📝thanks
I mostly ignore modern meta in my deck building because I don't care to participate in competitive stuff. I'm not interested in optimizing the fun out of the game nor am I interested in combos that last longer than 2 minutes, not including thinking time.
I aim to find fun and interesting interactions in short combos of no more than very few actions taken per turn. To minimize solitaire as much as humanly possible and distil every action into something ACTUALLY fast and powerful enough to make meta slaves cry tears of blood.
Just because you can do a lot of stuff in one turn of yugioh doesn't make it "fast". The more actions you cram into one turn, the slower you are in my eyes, because you are spending time to take those actions...lots and lots of precious time I can never get back every time I wait through those boring long flashy combos that end on more or less the same set of generic boss monsters plus meta flavor of the year boss monsters.
I find competitive yugioh to be boring to watch, unfun to play (if meta slaves are involved and something unique isnt presented)
People are unimaginative and boring, thinking in terms for "this or that package" or "this or that engine" or "this searcher or that searcher" or "this or that extender" ash this maxx c that tearlaments this kashtira that blah blah blah...boring af right down to the naming schemes..like freaking american pharmaceuticals and their grab bag of ass pill names
Fun is all that matters, and I build my decks for fun and exploritory reasons. I win and lose about 50-50 the time and I am ok with it. If I am having fun, thats what counts.
Learn to play less with yourselves and more with your opponent, and vice versa for the opponent. We need a happy balance between time taken per turn, actions taken per turn, and number of total turns per duel in order to increase the fun factor for more people imo
What a refreshing take. I feel the same way I often look for decks that go against the grain and put the extra challenge in making better decks. I love theory crafting and finding new and exciting synergies that are undiscovered.
I do believe there is so much less back and forth and that is becuase of cards like accesscode talker that can otk you in 1 turn if you dont put up a board.
hopefully konami can make more defensive cards in the future viable. I think more cards like typhoon are a step in the right direction.
You easy can use Duality to cheat out Dragoon
Mutamorphosis is a neg 1 to ash 😢
I like the direction of this video.
It is just useless with the current amount of powercreep.
Normally I am a sucker for finding a group of cards with synergy,
but it just doesn’t matter, because meta decks are too strong.
Even my previous best card synergy are not viable.
Nothing works, if you don’t play the 15 meta cards with high synergy.
15? Are you referring to Tenpai? 🐉
OH MY GOD I'M SO MAD/HAPPY.. Someone else sees how busted Mutamorphosis could be.
:) there is alot of research i want to do with those cards so much potential and only growing as more cards release!
7:45 Porn type cards?
Lmfaoo I'm crying. 🤣🤣The sentence is supposed to be "Monster "Reborn" type cards" good catch and a hilarious one at that. 😅😅
Corn-type, for the good Cap'n Corn! 🏴☠️ 🌽
Mutamorphosis with the runick mane can help the Generaider deck to start combos. I want to point out some cards that can be helpful techs: Soundproofed and Arrivalrival. Soundproofed can stop the meta Tempai Dragon deck and mixed with Dimensional Barrier can be lethal. On the other side Arrivalrivals can be useful in Tenpai, you can skip all your main phase one and star directly the battle phase. At the start of the battle phase you can activate for example Anti Spell Arrows and then chain Arrivalrivals or the quick play spell of the Tenpai. And then after you are protected against spell and traps like Fobidden Droplets, impermanence and you dodge nibiru, veiler and promethean princess as they must activate during the main phase. I also play constantly the combo of Black Garden in combination with Summoning Curse in my Dinosaur deck to rip off my opponent's hand on my turn one as you can manage to fusion summon the dinosaur that activates the fields directly from the deck or play Black Rose Maiden to search for Black Rose field spell and start the rip off 😂 or lock them with the tokens
7:45 what type? 0_o (sus)
🔥🔥🔥
Cursed Seal of the Forbidden Spell is a great card. Who gives a shit about it being "slow". It's a counter trap. It bans any spell it hits. Meanwhile "C" is a monster card. Do you have any idea how much shit is geared toward shutting monster effects? Use Cursed Seal on....say Branded Fusion, they can't use it anymore. Kashtira Rebirth...Gone. The one sky striker card they need to do anything...GONE. Runick Fountain......GONE. Use Retaliation C, it's going to get shut down cuz it's still on the field. They see it. They know what's up and they aren't playing your weak game.
retaliating c is a handtrap tho, you could chain it to oss for example, or basically any spell in branded, runick spells, drytron nova if that gets relevant again, ...
AND if it dies it gets you maxx c if legal
Shared ride
Thats a cool card! How do you think it fairs going 2nd though? Do you feel that is a win more card?
@@JessePerezStrategyGaming its fine look at the current decks , they search / add from grave even during my turn second
