@@STEPHxCA Nah, we still had handtraps. The state of the game just wasn't so busted that a single handtrap on turn 1 could decide the game. A Kuriboh or Honest in the first 3 turns would not decide the entire game.
With the OG (Red) Flame & Blue Swordsman, it would be funny if Konami made Orange, Yellow, Green, Indigo & Violet Swordsman. Then if all 7 Swordsman are on the field or GY, you get to summon the illustrious Flame Dragon.
Or pink gold Flame Swordsman metal Flame Swordsman or baby Flame Swordsman if you're going to do all the palace flops you got to do the babies and the metals
I loved in the Yu-Gi-Oh! DM dub version, where Joey would say "KUNAI WITH CHAIN" as if to say to the opponent/opponents, "GOTCHA YOU LITTLE B*STARD!" 😂
So here's a fun thought: If Flame Swordsman wasn't so clunky to use, ie; if it was 4-star normal or effect monster, Joey would almost certainly never have started using Gearfried. Heck, Gearfried probably wouldn't even EXIST. Like in hindsight, it's pretty clear that Gearfried is pretty much a replacement for Flame Swordsman as Joey's go-to warrior monster post-Duelist Kingdom. It even has the same ATK/DEF.
Joey's got a crazy deck history... a modern Flame Swordsman deck works great for him, but I do think his true peak is a modern Red-Eyes deck (Duel Links confirms DSOD Joey uses basically every Red-Eyes modern card, especially Archfiend Black Skull Dragon which is a retrain of his original boss monster)... and heck, Gearfried is also iconic to Joey, with Immortal Phoenix Gearfried being inspired by what if Joey had beaten Marik. And also of course you can't forget Gilford the Lightning. The dream would be if Konami actually made new cards that put them all together as a coherent deck
We kind of already do actually. Red-Eyes slash dragon gives them a fusion option with Warriors so it can easily be splashed into a flame swordsman deck. And doing so is actually beneficial because you can dump fighting flame swordsman off of Red-Eyes Fusion to proc its gy effect. Flame swordsman also solves an issue Red-Eyes has had with Lord of the Red because now we can use their new level 8 mirage knight retrain as the requirement. And then there's claw of Hermos which just works super well with flame swordsman as they run 2 of the 3 monster types needed for the current hermos equip cards. Plus unlike the other 2 dragons, it can use material from the hand. So let's say you got ultimate flame swordsman on the field and have claw of hermos as well as either salamandra or fighting flame swordsman in your hand. If you use it on slamandra, you get Red-Eyes black dragon sword to equip to your boss, a search for salamandra with chain, and salamandra can equip itself from the gy. If you use it on fighting flame swordsman, you can get either rocket hermos cannon or goddes bow, a mill for Salamandra which gets you a search for Salamandra with Chain and can equip salamandra from the gy.
@@dustinvance243sir your ideas are good but can you make a coherent 40 card deck with this because it sounds too mishmash to actually make a consistent deck. Just to reiterate I am not saying the idea is bad but I cant see how it can be implemented without being a gimmick deck and if you could please prove me wrong as I love playing red eyes decks
@@kasaix_ytI made the deck, it will never be anything meta relevant but it’s been casually competitive so far. The trick is not running too many copies of things outside of searches for situational adaptation
For the discussion of Joey's Ace, there is something that came in mind. Its almost a Junk warrior/Stardust Dragon chemistry here, where instead of those two, its Flame Swordsman and Red-eyes Black Dragon. When it comes to decks, I cannot unsee a sort of mix between both red-eyes and warriors. We now have Phoenix Gearfried working with equips and Flame swordsman's cards like Salamandra. And for Red-eyes? We have Red-eyes sword, Red-eyes Slash Dragon! I bet that somewhere, there is a Flame Red-eyes deck. That would be perfect.
On the Red-eyes deck portion I honestly think it would be cool if they showed off the potential aspect by having them climb a fusion ladder where each card makes the next monster better and better untill it reaches its "Maximum" potential
My first yugioh experience as a kid was a moment in one of the first episodes where yugi looks at joeys deck and it turns out joey just had 40 beat sticks so yugì gave joey the time wizard to teach him the power of effects
Abridged Joey Wheeler: THE FLAMESWORD’S MAN!! Flamesword’s Man: My Name Is Frank Abridged Joey Wheeler: FLAMESWORD’S MAN EVERYBODY!! Flamesword’s Man: Ugh
I think that Red-Eyes deserves a shot as a Joey Deck because some of Joey's old cards got Red-Eyes retrains (Baby Dragon, Gearfried, Black Skull Dragon, even Kunai with Chain). The modern playstyle from Red-Eyes revolves around burn damage, like from Meteor Black Comet Dragon and Archfiend Black Skull Dragon.
If more cards are added to the Flame Swordsman archetype, I hope that a majority of Joey's cards will get retrained versions that relate to this archetype. Like, imagine Axe Raider getting a Fire Attribute counterpart, Time Wizard using his Time Magic to turn Flame Swordsman into an ancient, but powerful version of himself, or even have Flame Swordsman fuse with Red-Eyes Black Dragon to create a version of Flame Swordsman wearing a Red-Eyes Black Dragon Armor.
So take dark sage, but for flame swordsman, and let it be able to tribute summon on top of special summon by successful call of a coin flip from a time wizard monster effect
@@ethanmacdonald8568 I was thinking of making Ancient Flame Swordsmaster (That's what I named this ancient form of Flame Swordsman,) as a Fusion Monster very similar to Thousand Dragon. Ancient Flame Swordsmaster would be a level 10, Fire, Warrior Type monster with 3600 ATK, and 3200 DEF. Appearance wise, Ancient Flame Swordsmen would, obviously, be an older version of the Flame Swordsman, which his hair, (provided if he had hair,) would be longer and grayed. Multiple wrinkles and his clothes a tattered, worn and torn. I could also envision a cape that's engulfed in flames, as well as the horns and spikes on his armor being engulfed as well. And as for his sword, I think it would be a combination of the Red-Eyes Black Dragon Sword, but containing the symbol of fire, and a black flame is engulfing the sword. I would like think that he would have some effect at his disposal. Something along the lines of; This card can be special summon from your Extra Deck by sending one Time Wizard and one Flame Swordsman or a monster with Flame Swordsman in it's name from your hand or field to the GY. (You do not need to use Polymerization, but will be treated as a Fusion Summon.) This Card gain 300 ATK for every Fire Attribute Monster in your GY. Other Fire Attribute Monsters you control cannot be targeted by your opponent's monster attacks or card effects. Once per turn, you can pay 1000 LP to select one monster on the field and turn it into a Fire Attribute, excluding other Fire Attribute Monsters. Once per turn, you can banish one Fire Attribute Monster from your GY to destroy one card on you opponents side of the field. If this card targets a Fire Attribute monster via this effect, you can return one Fire Attribute monster from you Banished Zone to your GY. If this card should be destroyed by either attack or card effect, you can banished one Fire Attribute Monster from your GY and special summon this card.
Another iconic old monster got an upgrade. I love seeing stuff like this. I think the Flame Swordsman archtype could work well with Red-Eyes and maybe make the Red-Eyes archtype alot better. Yeah. We have the Summoned Skull archtype that did it. But I think the Flame Swordsman archtype can work it out better.
Hearing all the effects of the Flame swordsman archetype, what I think the Red Eyes archetype needs is support cards that can pull/support a "Red-Eyes" monster or a card that mentions "Red-Eyes" kind of like most of the archetype that was mentioned in this video.
That or having a Support card that says “Mentions either Red-Eyes or Flame Swordman in its text”. And just to play it safe, they could also do a “Red-Eyes Salamandra” monster card that also allows for both archetypes to be supported!
Honestly wish that the og archetype monsters could all get 4 star starters to make them more viable for legacy decks. Also came off a Yugi vid where he used flame swordmen. It was funny
I really wonder if they're planning to print any cards that help create some synergy between Flame Swordsman and Red-Eyes. Not only would it make sense thematically as it would be two of Joey's ace monsters working together, but the idea of these two archetypes Fusion climbing using each other would be both really cool and hillarious at the same time.
I wouldn't mind seeing more Joey fusions and retrains like: Dark Magician the Flare Knight (Dark Magician + Flame Swordsman or FIRE warrior) Magical Flame Swordsman (Flame Swordsman + Dark Magician or a Spellcaster) Red-Eyes Flame Dragon (Red-Eyes Black Dragon + Flame Swordsman) Red-Eyes Super Dragon (Red-Eyes + a bunch of Joey's monsters)
in order to broad the lore of the flame swordsman. Salamandra is actually Ranryu. In order to get this straight we gotta know how Ranryu evolved into Salamandra. Ranryu sinces he was a little dragon wanted to spit fire like his other brethren's, until one day he found Firegrass. Ranryu thought that by eating Firegrass, he could finally be able to spit fire like a real dragon. When he ate Firegrass, Ranryu turned himself into Darkfire Dragon. Even though ge grew more violent he still had his past memory of being Ranryu. In order to become stronger, he gathered 4 more dragons and formed the powerful monster 5-Headed Dragon. This 5-Headed Dragon was defeated by Dragon Master Knight, and, Darkfire Dargon got detached from the 5-headed dragon monster. DMK, felt pitty of all the other dragons after being detached so he sealed the souls of the dragons in different weapons, in the case of Darkfire dragon, he was then sealed into Salamandra Sword. Who was Ranryu? well, he was Petit Dragon, the familiar possesed of Wynn the Wind Charmer, who Petit Dragon promised to her that he would become a strong dragon able to breath fire like his other powerful brethren's
Except the part where Salamandra isn't a sword. Yes, Flame Swordsman's sword is used in the art for Salamandra, but Salamandra is the actual fire dragon itself. That's why its still Salamandra as a monster, why Flame Swordsman's sword gets a dragon added to it and nothing else in the show, and most importantly, how it works on ANY FIRE monster, and not just warriors. You gotta rework this a little.
@@IzraelGraves I don't write the lore, dude. I just try to put the lore in here. Why don't you pick the lore from the internet and put it here instead?
Would love a card that links Flame Swordsman to Red Eyes, could be a nice nod to Joey, who is just a combination of Flame Swordsman, Red Eyes, Gearfrieds and Gambling.
Loved this vid. GJ showcasing all the FS stuff there 'generally' is, at least so far 👍 Think you could also showcase some actual Duel gameplay of the stuff, too? Would LOVE a vid on that as well.
I love all the legacy archetypes we’ve been getting. Warms this old man’s heart. Hoping they’ll eventually do something with one of my favorite cards: Five-Headed Dragon.
I figured it out. If you start with Salamandra with chain, and equip to either Fighting Flame Swordsman or Flame Swordsman, so when they are used, it gets sent to the Graveyard, you can banish it, shuffle Salamandra and either Swordsman into the deck to summon Fighting Flame Dragon.
Honestly IMO I think Joey really should have used the Flameswordsman deck and kept red eyes, then should have had the Red Eyes Slash dragon as his Boss monster, since he uses Red Eyes so often and then in this case, uses the Flameswordsman archetype so he has a ton of warrior monsters to use for its effect
Now I'm hoping we get updated versions of Magician of Faith and Cyber Commander with nods to Tea and Tristan. Heck maybe some more Blue Eyes cards with references to Kaiba, Mokua and Kisara.
I actually made retrains for Masaki and Flame Manipulator. Though they no longer associate with the Flame Swordsman. It works out since Flame Swordsman got more representation as himself instead of his fusion materials. Chemical Sorcerer Attribute: FIRE Type: Spellcaster Level: 3 Atk: 900 Def: 1000 Effect1: You can Pay 2000 LP to special summon 1 Synchro Monster from the Extra Deck, ignoring Summoning conditions; but it’s effects are negated, it can’t be used to summon an extra deck monster, cannot attack, and is returned to the Extra Deck at the end of the turn (even if it left the field otherwise). ________________________ Masaki, the Grand Shogun of Samurai Attribute: EARTH Type: Warrior Link: 3 Atk: 2200 Link Arrows: Bottom, BR, and BL Effect1: OPT: If any “Samurai” or “Shogun” monster(s) would be targeted or destroyed by a card effect, negate that effect and banish that card. Effect2: All “Samurai” monsters gain 300 Atk for each monster on the field. Effect3: If this card leaves the field, special summon up to three “Samurai” monsters from your hand and/or GY. Thoughts?
Another thing to tie Flameswordsman to Joey is the kanji on Flameswordsman’s sword. It looks like two people on top of each other on fire. Which is what one of them on their own means: fire. Having them together like this means fire still in a sense. But it mainly means flames of intense passion. That’s what the kanji on the sword means and my gosh how that fits so well with Joey. I agree with you that Flameswordsman is definitely representing Joey more then Red Eyes
I always loved flame swordsman and had a deck focused on blue flame swordsman , so I am very happy we got new support and let's face it red eyes was Rex's card joey took it and made it his own , not sure about the season zero manga though maybe it was his ace there
Sam does such a good job teaching viewers how to play like a pro. Pro players know how to master different arch types. Something I was never good at but enjoy learning by watching Sam’s videos.
You know, this reminds me of an idea I had for a Black Flare Knight retrain back in the day… _Blue Flare Dark Knight_ (DARK) Level 6 Warrior/Fusion/Effect “Blue Flame Swordsman” + 1 “Dark Magician” monster _This card that is in your extra deck, face-up on the field or in the GY also treated as FIRE-Attribute. You take no battle damage from battles involving this card. If you would take any effect damage, you can lower this cards ATK or DEF (Your choice) by an equal amount instead. If this card’s ATK or DEF become 0 by this effect, banish it. This card gains ATK/DEF equal to any battle/effect damage you inflict on your opponent. If your opponent destroys this card by battle or card effect, or if this card is banished by its own effect(s): You can special summon 1 level 8 monster from your hand, deck or GY, ignoring its summoning conditions, but it’s banished at the end of next turn._ ATK/2200 DEF/800
@@r3zaful Well I suppose I should elaborate: When I first made the card, it was in replacing to Dark Flare Knight being outed as one of the worst classic cards (the OG for contrast…:) "Dark Magician" + "Flame Swordsman" _You take no Battle Damage from battles involving this card. When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard: Special Summon 1 "Mirage Knight" from your hand or Deck._ Meanwhile, my idea was made LONG before the new FIRE support, including for FS… Thus my idea was simply meant be an optimization of the previous card (better versions of the old effects, more flexible fusion materials, and a new effect or 2 to complement the old ones.) As for me choosing Blue Flame as a material, I would remind you that A: Certain fusion support cards require a monster that is a named fusion material (sometimes as a specific monster, others as just an archetype of them), and B: The Floating effect basically lets you cheat out ANY Level 8 monster that isn’t banished or in your extra deck, so I thought at the time that the more specific summoning requirements would have made sense to balance that.
I’m not sure if you take requests or not but I was wondering if you would cover “The Agents/Hyperion” archetype in the future. It’s one of my all time favorite archetypes and I’d love to get more in depth about this archetype that’s out of this world 🌎
It is heavily neat to see such an classic icon card have an amazing archetype that is good. Personally Red Eye is Wheelers Boss monster but the flame swordman is his Ace monster.
Had a feeling this video was coming with the recent support. I wonder if this could mean a Joey duel analysis could be coming soon. Wonder what duels he has left that you’d analysis. Ideas: Yugi vs Joey (DK or BC) Joey vs Bandit Keith or Bonz or Rex (DK) Joey vs Weevil or Espa or Mako (BC) I’d love to see you analyse a Duelsit Kingdom duel regardless - I wonder how you’d analysis duels with less rules than the traditional format.
Konami better add s retrain of Black Flare Knight, and have it special summon the new Mirage Knight. Heck, i wanna see an elderly Flameswordsman, like the ogon getting aged by Time Wozard but becoming an bop of s beat stick card.
Pulled a flame a swordsman from the very first pack I ever got ...instantly became my favorite card ... hadn't even seen or heard of yugioh before that day..
Not a combo I would've expected them to turn into an archetype. Not disappointed, flame swordsman, kunai with chain and salamandra were always some of my favorites.
Over the past 3 weeks I see red eyes as multiple decks. Focus on Fire/burn, Dark/power, machine/revival, zombie/spamming. So instead of all monster being a Red Eyes card there could be a side branch of Red Eyes flare dragon being a Fire dragon and that can fuse with flame swordman and it can become its new salamandra sword. I don’t know, I feel theme wise it can work with gearfried lore being a fire type future. Would like to incorporate Gilford the lightning but nothing I can think of combine them lore wise or theme wise beside it being its own archetype
I agree that I feel this new flame swordsman deck is a more Joey kind of deck than what red eyes has become. Its focus on warriors which were a large part of Joey's deck as well as equip cards and unique traps. I think a more modern Joey deck would be Flame swordsman focused with a smaller red eyes engine for fusions, and I hope they make a flame swordsman red eyes fusion to bridge the two and give red eyes a boss monster they can actually use thats more Joey themed than Dark Dragoon.
Yeah I’m only halfway through this video and I’m already sold on giving this deck a shot. As someone that barely even plays, and only plays casually, Joey and Kaiba are probably the only two non-protagonist characters I would make a legitimate deck out of. Plus the fact that it seems really effective? Joey wheeler is finally getting his Ws again.
Maaaan watching this made me realize yeah there a literal TON of more iconic cards in og duel monsters but flame swordsman never left Joey always staying relevant somehow just like it's goofy but tenacious master I see why Takahashi loved Joey the most and this card feels emblematic of that love. Even in Yami bakura's duel everyone picked their favorite card the only two that managed to stay true to this were Yugi and Joey kinda wish Bakura used a new variant of change of heart down the road regardless awesome video
instead of a dedicated Flame Swordmans deck, im sure Joey would have a combination of Flame swordsman + Red-Eyes kinda like how Seto Kaiba had a beatdown deck, with a dedicated Blue-eyes strategy

That's why its still Salamandra as a monster, why Flame Swordsman's sword gets a dragon added to it and nothing else in the show, and most importantly, how it works on ANY FIRE monster, and not just warriors.
You gotta rework this a little.
@@IzraelGraves I don't write the lore, dude. I just try to put the lore in here. Why don't you pick the lore from the internet and put it here instead?
@@casualtheeduelist I thought you made this up. Where did you get this lore from?
Would love a card that links Flame Swordsman to Red Eyes, could be a nice nod to Joey, who is just a combination of Flame Swordsman, Red Eyes, Gearfrieds and Gambling.
To truly make a Joey Deck the Flame Swordsman needs to fuse with Red-Eyes
Technically it can, it just doesn’t have a unique fusion card. But red eyes has a fusion where he fuses with a warrior monster.
Loved this vid. GJ showcasing all the FS stuff there 'generally' is, at least so far 👍
Think you could also showcase some actual Duel gameplay of the stuff, too?
Would LOVE a vid on that as well.
I love all the legacy archetypes we’ve been getting. Warms this old man’s heart. Hoping they’ll eventually do something with one of my favorite cards: Five-Headed Dragon.
I figured it out. If you start with Salamandra with chain, and equip to either Fighting Flame Swordsman or Flame Swordsman, so when they are used, it gets sent to the Graveyard, you can banish it, shuffle Salamandra and either Swordsman into the deck to summon Fighting Flame Dragon.
Glad that Flame Swordsman has support.
Man I love when these videos drop can't wait to see the next one where he comes out with should this person of one that duel
I don't why but i get major jojo vibes from flame swordsman
Salamandra with chain would be an amazing beyblade
Only thing we need now is Red Eyes Flame Swordsman to connect the two Joey decks.
Fun fact: Flame Swordsman's name is Frank.
my day gets better whenever i see TGS Anime uploaded a video
I would love to see a retrain of dark flare knight as dark flare swordsman or something.
Flame swordsman was such a badass warrior monster
I appreciate your impression of joey with the kunai with chain
Honestly IMO I think Joey really should have used the Flameswordsman deck and kept red eyes, then should have had the Red Eyes Slash dragon as his Boss monster, since he uses Red Eyes so often and then in this case, uses the Flameswordsman archetype so he has a ton of warrior monsters to use for its effect
WOOOOOOOO ARCHETYPE VID!!!!!! Love listening to these when im doing anything! 🗣️🗣️
Omfg finally big support for one of my all time favorites! Flame Swordsman and Buster Blader deserves all the support!
Now I'm hoping we get updated versions of Magician of Faith and Cyber Commander with nods to Tea and Tristan. Heck maybe some more Blue Eyes cards with references to Kaiba, Mokua and Kisara.
I actually made retrains for Masaki and Flame Manipulator. Though they no longer associate with the Flame Swordsman. It works out since Flame Swordsman got more representation as himself instead of his fusion materials.

Thoughts?
It’s a fun type. Flame Swordsman was cool in that first season. I agree that Joey would probably play this kind of deck in the modern day.
This came out quick. 👀 Neat.
Another thing to tie Flameswordsman to Joey is the kanji on Flameswordsman’s sword. It looks like two people on top of each other on fire. Which is what one of them on their own means: fire. Having them together like this means fire still in a sense. But it mainly means flames of intense passion. That’s what the kanji on the sword means and my gosh how that fits so well with Joey. I agree with you that Flameswordsman is definitely representing Joey more then Red Eyes
One of my favorite cards I love using Blue Flame Swordsman
Same. Most of the cards says Level 7 or lower Flame Swordsman or monsters that mention it. SO I hope we get a Level 7 Fusion in the near future!
I always loved flame swordsman and had a deck focused on blue flame swordsman , so I am very happy we got new support and let's face it red eyes was Rex's card joey took it and made it his own , not sure about the season zero manga though maybe it was his ace there
Sam does such a good job teaching viewers how to play like a pro. Pro players know how to master different arch types. Something I was never good at but enjoy learning by watching Sam’s videos.
You know, this reminds me of an idea I had for a Black Flare Knight retrain back in the day…
_Blue Flare Dark Knight_ (DARK)
Level 6
Warrior/Fusion/Effect
“Blue Flame Swordsman” + 1 “Dark Magician” monster
_This card that is in your extra deck, face-up on the field or in the GY also treated as FIRE-Attribute. You take no battle damage from battles involving this card. If you would take any effect damage, you can lower this cards ATK or DEF (Your choice) by an equal amount instead. If this card’s ATK or DEF become 0 by this effect, banish it. This card gains ATK/DEF equal to any battle/effect damage you inflict on your opponent. If your opponent destroys this card by battle or card effect, or if this card is banished by its own effect(s): You can special summon 1 level 8 monster from your hand, deck or GY, ignoring its summoning conditions, but it’s banished at the end of next turn._
ATK/2200 DEF/800
MAKE IT have GENERIC mats
Card design
@@r3zaful
Well I suppose I should elaborate:
When I first made the card, it was in replacing to Dark Flare Knight being outed as one of the worst classic cards (the OG for contrast…:)
"Dark Magician" + "Flame Swordsman"
_You take no Battle Damage from battles involving this card. When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard: Special Summon 1 "Mirage Knight" from your hand or Deck._
Meanwhile, my idea was made LONG before the new FIRE support, including for FS… Thus my idea was simply meant be an optimization of the previous card (better versions of the old effects, more flexible fusion materials, and a new effect or 2 to complement the old ones.)
As for me choosing Blue Flame as a material, I would remind you that A: Certain fusion support cards require a monster that is a named fusion material (sometimes as a specific monster, others as just an archetype of them), and B: The Floating effect basically lets you cheat out ANY Level 8 monster that isn’t banished or in your extra deck, so I thought at the time that the more specific summoning requirements would have made sense to balance that.
I’m not sure if you take requests or not but I was wondering if you would cover “The Agents/Hyperion” archetype in the future. It’s one of my all time favorite archetypes and I’d love to get more in depth about this archetype that’s out of this world 🌎
A dedicated Flame Swordsman deck that synergizes with Red-Eyes is the dream
12:05 The special summoned monster's effects are negated.
Flame Swordsman and Dark Magician looking at each other like "He don't mean me"
Man, you should have been the one to do the reveals for this archetype! I had no idea that’s what Fighting Flame Sword was referencing!
It is heavily neat to see such an classic icon card have an amazing archetype that is good. Personally Red Eye is Wheelers Boss monster but the flame swordman is his Ace monster.
Had a feeling this video was coming with the recent support. I wonder if this could mean a Joey duel analysis could be coming soon. Wonder what duels he has left that you’d analysis.
Ideas:
Yugi vs Joey (DK or BC)
Joey vs Bandit Keith or Bonz or Rex (DK)
Joey vs Weevil or Espa or Mako (BC)
I’d love to see you analyse a Duelsit Kingdom duel regardless - I wonder how you’d analysis duels with less rules than the traditional format.
Probably his duel with Odion since its the only remaining Battle City Finals duel that hasnt been covered yet here
Can't wait for it to be in the yugioh master duel game. Going to part of my Three Kingdom genre decks.
Buster blader
Gearfried
Gaia
Remember when joey would uyst normal summon flame swirdsman? Ahhh good times
5:47 Phil Swift would agree cause theoretically “That’s a lotta damage!”
I completely agree that a Flame Swordsman deck would be perfect for a modern version of Joey, and you described why very effectively.
Konami better add s retrain of Black Flare Knight, and have it special summon the new Mirage Knight. Heck, i wanna see an elderly Flameswordsman, like the ogon getting aged by Time Wozard but becoming an bop of s beat stick card.
I haven't got a pack in years, and I decided to pick up a maze of millenia pack. Super excited about flame swordsman cards
Atticus Rhodes is the one that has alot of Red Eyes cards in his deck, plus is his deck is all Dragon type cards.
Keep up the good work
The gearfreed archetype could do with an expansion too, maybe integrating with the flame swordsman for much needed backup.
I'd love if we could get the same treatment for Cyber Commander. Such a cool looking card and Tristan deserves some love too
I got an admit when I first heard about these cards. I thought they weren’t going to do much.
Now they seem pretty neat.
Pulled a flame a swordsman from the very first pack I ever got ...instantly became my favorite card ... hadn't even seen or heard of yugioh before that day..
im still waiting for the Melodius!!! As usual great work!!
Time Wizard and Gearfried represented him more in DK and BC arcs, to be honest. But I'm glad this finally got support.
A Flame Swordsman/Red-Eyes deck would be cool they should make those archetypes work together more they seem fitting together
Not a combo I would've expected them to turn into an archetype. Not disappointed, flame swordsman, kunai with chain and salamandra were always some of my favorites.
I've been playing a flame swordsman deck since the beginning of Yu-Gi-Oh so this new archetype is a dream for me
Wow this is some really interesting infernoble support
Nostalgia duels LETS GO
Over the past 3 weeks I see red eyes as multiple decks. Focus on Fire/burn, Dark/power, machine/revival, zombie/spamming. So instead of all monster being a Red Eyes card there could be a side branch of Red Eyes flare dragon being a Fire dragon and that can fuse with flame swordman and it can become its new salamandra sword. I don’t know, I feel theme wise it can work with gearfried lore being a fire type future. Would like to incorporate Gilford the lightning but nothing I can think of combine them lore wise or theme wise beside it being its own archetype
Joey needs his own version of Dragon Master Knight. Flame swordsman riding on red eyes.
I agree that I feel this new flame swordsman deck is a more Joey kind of deck than what red eyes has become. Its focus on warriors which were a large part of Joey's deck as well as equip cards and unique traps. I think a more modern Joey deck would be Flame swordsman focused with a smaller red eyes engine for fusions, and I hope they make a flame swordsman red eyes fusion to bridge the two and give red eyes a boss monster they can actually use thats more Joey themed than Dark Dragoon.
Yeah I’m only halfway through this video and I’m already sold on giving this deck a shot. As someone that barely even plays, and only plays casually, Joey and Kaiba are probably the only two non-protagonist characters I would make a legitimate deck out of. Plus the fact that it seems really effective? Joey wheeler is finally getting his Ws again.
5:57 he got turned into a marketable card
Sounds like a goood pairing with infernoble knights
I'm glad he finally got his retrain and his own archetype! I kinda want Panther Warrior to get his retrain or archetype too.
I saw this title and thought "oh? Frank got support?"
It took a moment to remember the abridged series isn't cannon.
Honestly shocked it took them so long to retool Flame Swordsman with how often they go for nostalgia decks
Maaaan watching this made me realize yeah there a literal TON of more iconic cards in og duel monsters but flame swordsman never left Joey always staying relevant somehow just like it's goofy but tenacious master I see why Takahashi loved Joey the most and this card feels emblematic of that love. Even in Yami bakura's duel everyone picked their favorite card the only two that managed to stay true to this were Yugi and Joey kinda wish Bakura used a new variant of change of heart down the road regardless awesome video
Day one of asking TGS Anime to show us his card collection
I somehow got to the end of the video when he just said flame swordsman at the beginning lol I thought it was a short video lol
Nice to know they're finding ways to make previously unusuable cards (og fusion flame swordsman) more usuable now.
Heyo Sam,I'm glad you're covering the Flame Swordsman Archetype! I hope you're doing good btw!
instead of a dedicated Flame Swordmans deck, im sure Joey would have a combination of Flame swordsman + Red-Eyes
kinda like how Seto Kaiba had a beatdown deck, with a dedicated Blue-eyes strategy
I’m def gonna make this in Omega
We need this in MD!
Looking forward to You covering My favorite archtype: Endymion.
