Malefic World field spell: -real world effect. conduct draw, oppenent choose 3. blah blah blah. -maybe special summon only "1 malefic monster per turn but it cant attack until the next turn" -probably have as many malefic monsters (5) on the field BUT only 2-3 malefic monsters attack per turn. malefic archetype: -pretty much what 6:27 has except remove only 1 malefic on the field effect and other monsters you control cannot declare an attack. -keep their original effects from the movie/original monster's effect(s), BUT with the catch that the field spell has to be Malefic World
I agree. Either they only get the extra affects with the field spell or maybe, only get the effects if they summoned by banishing their original forms and not by any other means of special summoning.
And now we have a card that demolishes every card on your field when it leaves the field, and if he simply stays on the field he will continue to just banish your stuff 💀
@@koalafromtomorrow5656 Maybe he only wanted to have two of each different type of dragon 🤷♂. Two normal dragons, two synchro dragons, two main deck effect dragons, and two machine monsters.
I think it's because dragons like Cyber End Dragon and Rainbow Dragon effect are not only just Overpowered but also more effective than any Signer Dragon card effect aside from Stardust Dragon P.S. : honestly Paradox should've steal Five God Dragon instead Red Eyes.
In my opinion, the Malefics should all have some abilities based on their original counterparts, but NOT the exact ability. IMO, they got it right with Stardust Dragon: it still retains it's ability to protect something, but different or limited. For M. Cyberend could have a burn effect instead of piercing. M Rainbow Dragon could have kept the mass destruction effect at the cost of all your Malefics in the GY, similar to the anime. This way, it makes the Malefics and their counterparts functionally the same, but still different I like the Malefic archetype as well, but without their training wheels in the form of a field spell (which, thankfully, are far better now than they were before) or Skill Drain (which is limited T_T ), the deck is an amazing brickfest with nothing much to make them unique compared to other archetypes
I would love to see more Malefic cards be made. Hopefully we could get more corrupted versions of signature cards, like Malefic Red Dragon Archfiend, Malefic Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon, Malefic Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon, and Malefic Firewall Dragon.
"Malefic Firewall Dragon" Sir you need to calm down, the first fire wall is already guilty of several war crimes. We don't need another one that can just be dropped out of the hand for free XD
What about malefic gandora dragon banish gandora special summon this card and returned a banished filed spell to the respective zone and returned All other banished cards to the graveyard and you gain 380 Life point's for each card returned from the banished zone
Anime cards tend to be more unplayable than cards that weren't in the anime, simply because of the demographic that the anime ponders to. That is, the uncompetitive losers that buy cards simply because they've seen them in anime.
I love summoning impractical boss monsters. This deck is that but over and over again and some spell/trap cards keeping them on life support, almost making the deck amazing but falling just short. Definitely one of my favorites. I think the monster effects should be slightly changed from the originals, but still have some kind of effect, like Malefic Stardust vs. original Stardust Dragon.

2:30 I have the theory that the reason he uses the mask is because the movie was being promoted while 5d's was in TV, specifically during the last episodes, where we used to see flashbacks of Aporia/Z-ONE/Antinomy showing us their future.

Perhaps a Galaxy eyes Archetype. They are so cool. Cipher dragon is my favourite. Also the Malefics were always one of my favourite decks. Malefic Cyber End Dragon is my favourite.

@@mangonite7426 if I remember right Yusei wouldn't have even gotten a turn. Just, "MST to Malefic world, Melefic truth dies by its own effect, Dark Magician girl and Neos Knight for game."
Seeing as stardust's malfic form was the only one of those dragons seen as good I think having abilities that referenced their real abilities would have been atleast decent enough
Because it was Field Barrier but with a decent body on it which was kind of a big deal back then. Not to mention regular Stardust wasn't necessarily just there for the sake of being there.
I'll never understand why Yusei summon Stardust in his firts duel with Paradox when Paradox didn't have any monsters and Junk Warrior and Junk Synchron have more combined attack than Stardust
Well since only the first 3 shows happen in the same universe they can only add malefic versions of those shows, not sure why Stardust is the only one from 5D's up to date.
I just had a dumb thought, Let's say you banish maybe Blue Eyes, Red Eyes, and a Stardust Dragon, So let's say all you're monsters are gone and you don't have a card. Then you activate Return from the different dimension
I feel like the Malefic monster should retain their original effect, but a little bit nerfed by “When this monster makes the first attack, you can activate this effect: [Retained effect]. “ It would make perfect sense, since the Malefic Cyber end dragon can attack and use its effect. Plus another support card that allows all malefic monsters to attack regardless of effects, seeing as how everything is so power creeped.
I think keeping the originals' effects, or even straight up buffing their effects, wouldn't be too much for the archtype. Because removing their field spell insta-nukes their entire existance, making them that much more vulnerable to getting shut down. Like, imagine a card that is just situationally not a beatstick, and for that has the drawback of being treated as both a monster and a spell/trap card with 0 protection. That's Malefic Truth Dragon(that's not even touching the whole "pay half your LP" thing as well). And I know Malefic Territory is there for protection, but that's an entire other card you potentially have to pull and setup in order for just one layer of protection. If the opponent uses one more spell/trap removal, or uses non-targeting backrow removal and bypasses the protection outright, it's good night for the whole archtype.
Instead of Paradox stealing Rainbow Dragon to turn it Malefic , I’d have loved if he’d have stolen Neos Elemental Hero Malefic Neos has a nice ring to it 😃😃
Actually yes and no. Malefic did get meta in past but more has an anti-meta deck and not has pure malefic.(thans skill drain) Only cyber end and stardust really did see play since they are the easiest to summon , sometime playing the gear or the truth.
@@matthewwilliams8267 it's painfully clear that the writer for Avengers Endgame use this movie as a reference for that scene. "I used the stones to destroy the stone"
Malefic as a whole is such a cool concept, and i like the designs, I just feel like they screwed them over with the effect changes. Also Paradox is awesome but I thought the movie wasn't too good. They could have done so much more if he was simply a villain in the 5d's series during the Z-ONE arc, instead of the movie.
The Malefic is an archetype with lot of potential. They have a very powerful search anything spell card, 1 quick-play monster reborn and an insane synchro monster that can special summon other synchro monsters
To me, if Rainbow Dragon and Stardust mantained their effects they would've been TOO broken, considering that it was still the synchro era too Cyber end dragon could've mantained it cause it's not that strong but then it would be dumb to give the effect to just one monster
Malefic World field spell: -real world effect. conduct draw, opponent choose 3. blah blah blah. -maybe special summon only "1 malefic monster per turn but it cant attack until the next turn" -probably have as many malefic monsters (5) on the field BUT only 3 malefic monsters attack per turn. malefic archetype: -pretty much what 6:27 has except remove only 1 malefic on the field effect and other monsters you control cannot declare an attack. -keep their original effects from the movie/original monster's effect(s), BUT with the catch that the field spell has to be Malefic World
I think the reason why Malefic monsters are so sick is simple: They don’t fuck over the original archetype. See, if you want to make a Cyber dragon deck (like I am right now), Malefic Cyber End is unironically a great card to have. It’s an easier version of Cyber End to summon, with less restrictions. But here’s the kicker: they could have made the field spell clause ONLY accept Malefic World. Instead, any field spell works.
Jinzo archetype video, I'm genuinely curious of the different versions of jinzo throughout the years jinzo used to be my little brother's favorite card
Paradox wasn't even technically in the wrong. He was legit saving the world from certain Doom while yugi and friends were taking a time wizard spin with no guarantee things would change. They should be trying to help him lol
That depends on how we look at time travel. You can say that he would fix the future. You could also say that he is wrong about how the future plays out. There might not be a genocide in the future of their timeline. Paradox could create an entirely different future that has nothing to do with his present. Finally, if he changes the past he can’t change the future. Removing duel monsters from the past solves the genocide issue. It also removes any reason for time travel which would allow duel monsters to exist in the past. Tl:dr Paradox has the right idea but he doesn't know what the outcome of his actions will be
i would love to see what other malefic monster could come in here like say: malefic dark magician, neos, odd-eyes, the other signer dragons, utopia, harpies' pet dragon etc.
All three should have kept their anime effects. Even if they might have seemed overpowered on their original release, "power creep" would have fixed that in time
Let me get this straight. Paradox's goal is to save the future, and to achieve this goal, he destroys the past. Wouldn't destroying the past _also_ destroy the future he lives in, thereby negating the whole purpose of his mission? Like, I know I'm not a genius when it comes to space-time, but isn't the whole idea super counterproductive?
I believe Malefic Rainbow Dragon should keep its effect. The normal one is already a bitch to summon and its malefic counterpart already has a bunch of restrictions already. Thanks for the all the trivia on paradox and the archetype’s name btw. :)
9:32 honestly I think they should’ve been given unique effects that are variation of their original counterparts honestly just giving them there original effects are kinda borning just look at the majority of toon monster effect the most unique ones are the ones based on normal or non effect monsters while for others it hurts the viability Stardust effect is perfect in this reguard supporting the malefic play style by protecting the field spell so the others don’t die mst while referencing the original stardust’s effect here’s my proposal I don’t know what to give Blue Eyes and Red Eyes since being normal monsters shouldn’t be an excuse Cyberend Dragon when the card destroys and opponents monster inflict damage to your opponent damage equal to that destroyed monsters original attack points reference the piercing damage by having your opponent take damage from the attack despite having a defense mode monster Rainbow Dragon once per turn you can target one of your opponents cards up to the number of malefic monsters on your field or in your grave yard return them to the hand a reference to its bouncing effect but significantly weaker to compensate for the easier summoning condition
I love how you break down these archetypes. One I absolutely want to see is the Dragunity Archetype, I fell in love with the archetype on duel links and I feel like it doesn't get much attention
Here are the list of Deck Trivia you should add from Yugioh Vrains: Code Talkers Firewall Dragon Firewall Dragon Darkfluid Borrel Tolopogic Salamangreat Gouki Dino Wrestler Hydradrive @ignister Codebreaker
Why Rainbow Dragon can be banished from the hand: In the main deck there are 3 cards with 3 malefic counterparts: Blue eyes, Red Eyes, and Rainbow dragon. If Blue eyes and Red eyes ends up in the player’s hands their still playable by sacrificing, however if Rainbow dragon ended up in the player’s hand and didn’t allow the person to banish it, Rainbow dragon would he completely useless since the Crystal Beasts wouldn’t be in a malefic deck, so I believe this feature was used in order to make Rainbow Dragon still have a purpose
I like the Malefics, no surprise that I got the Red-Eyes from the DVD! My mate used to run them and in the games, when I play them, I like to run Earthbound Immortal Chacu Chalhua! So what if it can't attack, you can jus Burn your Opponent each Turn and stuff it in Defence, meaning your Opponent cannot conduct their Battle Phase! Yes, you may copy that, you are welcome!
@Kreamy SZN You'd be surprised! I play that Quick-Play Spell, "Fires of Doomsday", I think it's called (it's been a while...), lets you Summon two Tokens, but they can only be used to Tribute Summon a DARK Monster, the Immortals are all DARK, so... you jus play it during your opponent's End Phase and then hello, giant evil whale! Who is somehow a Fish, because Mammal isn't a Monster Type in Yu-Gi-Oh!... (That said, it's the same story for all spiders and scorpions being Insect-Type, so...)
I still love these cards even if they aren't the best. Seeing them get some updates over the years is pretty nice too. I just sort of wish we got a few more monsters. Like give us a Malefic Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon, Black Winged Dragon, Red Dragon Archfiend, etc. I think would add more variety
There's also the paradox that if he changes the past, he won't need to go to the past to change the past, Thus..... he won't go to the past to change the past.
a card i would like to see is malefic doom chimera dragon with a custom malefic ability which would be to equip other malefic monsters to it and if malefic doom chimera dragon was destroyed by battle then you can special summon any equipped monsters regardless of their summoning conditions.As the word chimera is a mixture of animals composed into one being. I also think that malefic clear wing would be a good pick because it shows more of an futuristic aspect of where paradox came from and i think it should also gain a new effect being kinda like future fusion but for malefic monsters so it would be when this card is special summoned and if "malefic world" is on the field you can activate one of these effects: Target one "malefic monster in your grave special summon that card in 2 turns: if this card is destroyed by card effect you can banish one synchro monster from your extra deck and in two turns summon that banished monster regardless of its summoning conditions. The last one that i would think is a good pick for malefic monsters is malefic magician of hope and its effect would be... When this card is special summoned you can special summon one malefic monster from your graveyard but banish it when it's destroyed. When this card is destroyed by card effect or battle you can activate 1 of these effects: if there are 3 or less malefic cards in your graveyard you can special summon 1 of those cards. you can banish this card and for every banished malefic card you have all your malefic monsters gain 200 atk for each one. I chose these cards because doom chimera dragon represents the death and destruction combining the souls of the dead into vengeance while clear wing represents the future (where paradox came from), and lastly magician of hope because of the hope/resolve paradox had to save his world from being destroyed.
The DM era dragons DO have something over the other cards that most people look over: they are the ONLY Malefic monsters that you can revive after properly summoning. There's some cheeky stuff you can do with that, but it isn't groundbreaking.
I like it to but my only 2 complaints are that 1st the archtype was small and had few cards in it and my 2nd is that for 5ds they should have done red dragon archfiend not paradigm
You did a mistake while speaking of Malefic Force, not only does it appear in Duel Links but also in the movie, Paradox uses this card to protect Malefic Paradox Dragon thinking Yugi would want to get it since it's the strongest he had at that moment, but his target was actually Stardust Dragon.
If you actually think about it the Malefic Monsters are a reflection of the people that originally owned them: Red-eyes: Joey once was part of a evil school gang that always stuck themselves into street brawls, and Joey also oftened bullied Yugi out of Jeolousy while Aticus once was worked with Prof. Banner and Kagemaru once to research the Shadow Games with Fujiwara and again to awaken and obtain the 3 Sacred Beasts. Blue-eyes: Kaiba left his own Grandpa to die at his Kaiba Corp. amusment park after Atem defeated Kaiba's Grandpa at Duel Monsters, then went on to try kill Yugi and his friends with his "Death T" Terminal while psychologically breaking down Soguro Motou and ripping up Soguro's own Blue-eyes then manipulated an entire tournament for his own benefit while Soguro himself once trespassed in ancient tombs to find games to play or sell at the "Kame" shop. Cyber-end: Zane once used to have an insatiable amount of lustful endulgence on victory and physical anxiety, betraying him bro. Syrus and his friends at Duel Academy. Rainbow: although it was all done under Yubel's Possession Jesse did go around the Duel Terminal World reaking all kinds of dimensional chaos and dispair. Stardust: Although it was Roman that caused the incident Yusei's dad was the one who created the Ener-D reactor and in turn allowed Roman to sentence everyone who was killed in the "Zero-Reverse" incident to the Netherworld where they all were tortured and punished for crimes the murdered masses never comitted.
They should remade the monster line-up now that it's too late to fix the monsters, they could make Malefic versions of Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon that can attack up to 3 times to monsters, a Malefic Black Skull Dragon with burn effect, Malefic Rainbow Overdragon with a shuffle into the deck effect (but It would only shuffle one card instead of the whole field) and Malefic Stardust Spark Dragon with a similar protection effect.
Personally I think they all should have kept their original effects from the movie, but with the catch that the field spell has to be Malefic World
Malefic World field spell:
-real world effect. conduct draw, oppenent choose 3. blah blah blah.
-maybe special summon only "1 malefic monster per turn but it cant attack until the next turn"
-probably have as many malefic monsters (5) on the field
BUT only 2-3 malefic monsters attack per turn.
malefic archetype:
-pretty much what 6:27 has
except remove only 1 malefic on the field effect and other monsters you control cannot declare an attack.
-keep their original effects from the movie/original monster's effect(s),
BUT with the catch that the field spell has to be Malefic World

Well since only the first 3 shows happen in the same universe they can only add malefic versions of those shows, not sure why Stardust is the only one from 5D's up to date.
@@doomsdayguy2650 only one of those are dragons they all have to be dragons
@@railord7207 more like Malefic Utopic Dragon/ Sin Hope Dragoon
I just had a dumb thought, Let's say you banish maybe Blue Eyes, Red Eyes, and a Stardust Dragon, So let's say all you're monsters are gone and you don't have a card.
Then you activate Return from the different dimension
I feel like the Malefic monster should retain their original effect, but a little bit nerfed by “When this monster makes the first attack, you can activate this effect: [Retained effect]. “ It would make perfect sense, since the Malefic Cyber end dragon can attack and use its effect. Plus another support card that allows all malefic monsters to attack regardless of effects, seeing as how everything is so power creeped.
I think keeping the originals' effects, or even straight up buffing their effects, wouldn't be too much for the archtype. Because removing their field spell insta-nukes their entire existance, making them that much more vulnerable to getting shut down.
Like, imagine a card that is just situationally not a beatstick, and for that has the drawback of being treated as both a monster and a spell/trap card with 0 protection. That's Malefic Truth Dragon(that's not even touching the whole "pay half your LP" thing as well).
And I know Malefic Territory is there for protection, but that's an entire other card you potentially have to pull and setup in order for just one layer of protection. If the opponent uses one more spell/trap removal, or uses non-targeting backrow removal and bypasses the protection outright, it's good night for the whole archtype.
Instead of Paradox stealing Rainbow Dragon to turn it Malefic , I’d have loved if he’d have stolen Neos
Elemental Hero Malefic Neos has a nice ring to it 😃😃
It wouldn’t work since all Malefic monsters(except for the gear) they have to be dragons
Malefic Hero Neos sounds cool too
@@scarletsage6267 Cyber End, too
@@zad_rasera Cyber end, is a mechanical DRAGON. They never said dragon type. They just said they have to be dragons or gears.
@@camtoonzz2271 could gears include...
*ancient gears?*
This deck needs major improvement, it’s wasted potential for a deck that revolves around the most iconic dragons out there.
There not all dragons some are machines and 1 is not an old dragon 1 is a new dragon, malefic paradox dragon and truth dragon
@@kalintheinfernityking9383 they didn’t say all of them were dragons they said they revolve around the iconic dragons which is true
The Malefic is so bad that Konami created "Malefic Territory" to change the monster effects lmfao.
Actually yes and no.
Malefic did get meta in past but more has an anti-meta deck and not has pure malefic.(thans skill drain)
Only cyber end and stardust really did see play since they are the easiest to summon , sometime playing the gear or the truth.
His logic was to save the future from duel monsters by using duel monsters
Fighting fire with fire, you beat the world at its own game then delete such game, boom, world saved, that was his plan.
"I used the Children's Card Game... to destroy the Children's Card Game "
@@matthewwilliams8267 it's painfully clear that the writer for Avengers Endgame use this movie as a reference for that scene. "I used the stones to destroy the stone"
@@matthewwilliams8267 perfect way to put it.
2:09 Sounds like he knew Mystic Mine was coming.
2:29 COVID, duh.
Malefic as a whole is such a cool concept, and i like the designs, I just feel like they screwed them over with the effect changes. Also Paradox is awesome but I thought the movie wasn't too good. They could have done so much more if he was simply a villain in the 5d's series during the Z-ONE arc, instead of the movie.
Yeah the movie was okaaay to me
The Malefic is an archetype with lot of potential. They have a very powerful search anything spell card, 1 quick-play monster reborn and an insane synchro monster that can special summon other synchro monsters
To me, if Rainbow Dragon and Stardust mantained their effects they would've been TOO broken, considering that it was still the synchro era too
Cyber end dragon could've mantained it cause it's not that strong but then it would be dumb to give the effect to just one monster
Would you be able to do a Blackwing version of a yugioh trivia as they have always received support since they were released
I mean they were so popular they literally changed the anime itself
The whole video would help like 24 hours
One of my favourite archtype for bringing a huge monster easily
Malefic World field spell:
-real world effect. conduct draw, opponent choose 3. blah blah blah.
-maybe special summon only "1 malefic monster per turn but it cant attack until the next turn"
-probably have as many malefic monsters (5) on the field
BUT only 3 malefic monsters attack per turn.
malefic archetype:
-pretty much what 6:27 has
except remove only 1 malefic on the field effect and other monsters you control cannot declare an attack.
-keep their original effects from the movie/original monster's effect(s),
BUT with the catch that the field spell has to be Malefic World
Finally my prayers have been answer by the mighty god Sam himself.
You worship sam? Pathetic
You worship Sam? Awesome
Really hope you do an //assault mode archetype video, i really like them and would be nice to see more talk about them
I think the reason why Malefic monsters are so sick is simple:
They don’t fuck over the original archetype.
See, if you want to make a Cyber dragon deck (like I am right now), Malefic Cyber End is unironically a great card to have. It’s an easier version of Cyber End to summon, with less restrictions.
But here’s the kicker: they could have made the field spell clause ONLY accept Malefic World. Instead, any field spell works.
When paradox took Blue-Eyes White Dragon from Kaiba Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon was born.
This is my favorite archetype in yugioh
Jinzo archetype video, I'm genuinely curious of the different versions of jinzo throughout the years jinzo used to be my little brother's favorite card
Hey could you do gravekeepers and its support like necrovalley. I've been seeing more like these recently in tournaments
It's not really Gravekeepers, more like Dragoon turbo control
Woah weird was only watching the bbt movie 30 min ago
If Malefics get better support I would totally play a deck with them.
0:55 “My Pwan is Gweat!”
- Paradox’s Robot copy(apparently)
It'd be cool to see the Fur Hire archetype
Wooow, one of my favorite archetypes, thank you very much
Super galaxy
Please do D/Ds soon It's one of my favorite archetypes and the way you do these videos is so entertaining.
Paradox wasn't even technically in the wrong. He was legit saving the world from certain Doom while yugi and friends were taking a time wizard spin with no guarantee things would change. They should be trying to help him lol
That depends on how we look at time travel. You can say that he would fix the future. You could also say that he is wrong about how the future plays out. There might not be a genocide in the future of their timeline.
Paradox could create an entirely different future that has nothing to do with his present. Finally, if he changes the past he can’t change the future. Removing duel monsters from the past solves the genocide issue. It also removes any reason for time travel which would allow duel monsters to exist in the past.
Tl:dr Paradox has the right idea but he doesn't know what the outcome of his actions will be
i would love to see what other malefic monster could come in here like say:
malefic dark magician, neos, odd-eyes, the other signer dragons, utopia, harpies' pet dragon etc.
man this archetype broke the meta and it makes big monsters free summons lol
I would've praised him so much up he put "Mawefic" in the title.
They should keep there effects but I'm biased because I play malefics
All three should have kept their anime effects. Even if they might have seemed overpowered on their original release, "power creep" would have fixed that in time
What are the odds i rewatched bonds beyond time this morning
Let me get this straight. Paradox's goal is to save the future, and to achieve this goal, he destroys the past. Wouldn't destroying the past _also_ destroy the future he lives in, thereby negating the whole purpose of his mission?
Like, I know I'm not a genius when it comes to space-time, but isn't the whole idea super counterproductive?
That's the point. It's a paradox, just like Paradox himself and everything he does.
Paradox did something that paradoxing himself
Z-One and friends decided to save the world by any means necessary which meant messing with the timeline a lot
I love the Malefic archetype! It’s so fun to use and I like the “high ATK beat stick” strategy too lol 😁
I literally have a malefic deck in duel links and it’s usually my main deck
I believe Malefic Rainbow Dragon should keep its effect. The normal one is already a bitch to summon and its malefic counterpart already has a bunch of restrictions already. Thanks for the all the trivia on paradox and the archetype’s name btw. :)
9:32 honestly I think they should’ve been given unique effects that are variation of their original counterparts honestly just giving them there original effects are kinda borning just look at the majority of toon monster effect the most unique ones are the ones based on normal or non effect monsters while for others it hurts the viability Stardust effect is perfect in this reguard supporting the malefic play style by protecting the field spell so the others don’t die mst while referencing the original stardust’s effect here’s my proposal
I don’t know what to give Blue Eyes and Red Eyes since being normal monsters shouldn’t be an excuse
Cyberend Dragon when the card destroys and opponents monster inflict damage to your opponent damage equal to that destroyed monsters original attack points reference the piercing damage by having your opponent take damage from the attack despite having a defense mode monster
Rainbow Dragon once per turn you can target one of your opponents cards up to the number of malefic monsters on your field or in your grave yard return them to the hand a reference to its bouncing effect but significantly weaker to compensate for the easier summoning condition
I love how you break down these archetypes. One I absolutely want to see is the Dragunity Archetype, I fell in love with the archetype on duel links and I feel like it doesn't get much attention
Malefic Cyber End should have kept its original effect, though I think that Malefic Rainbow Dragon should have gotten something unique to it.

I have Malefic Red Eyes it’s my favorite despite it’s drawbacks I’m even to make a deck to bring it out as a boss
Dude that sound at 5:20 scared the shit out of me
Yugioh bonds beyond time greatness
Why Rainbow Dragon can be banished from the hand:
In the main deck there are 3 cards with 3 malefic counterparts: Blue eyes, Red Eyes, and Rainbow dragon. If Blue eyes and Red eyes ends up in the player’s hands their still playable by sacrificing, however if Rainbow dragon ended up in the player’s hand and didn’t allow the person to banish it, Rainbow dragon would he completely useless since the Crystal Beasts wouldn’t be in a malefic deck, so I believe this feature was used in order to make Rainbow Dragon still have a purpose
And there is another redo. Konami likes to troll you.
I like the Malefics, no surprise that I got the Red-Eyes from the DVD! My mate used to run them and in the games, when I play them, I like to run Earthbound Immortal Chacu Chalhua! So what if it can't attack, you can jus Burn your Opponent each Turn and stuff it in Defence, meaning your Opponent cannot conduct their Battle Phase! Yes, you may copy that, you are welcome!
@Kreamy SZN You'd be surprised! I play that Quick-Play Spell, "Fires of Doomsday", I think it's called (it's been a while...), lets you Summon two Tokens, but they can only be used to Tribute Summon a DARK Monster, the Immortals are all DARK, so... you jus play it during your opponent's End Phase and then hello, giant evil whale! Who is somehow a Fish, because Mammal isn't a Monster Type in Yu-Gi-Oh!... (That said, it's the same story for all spiders and scorpions being Insect-Type, so...)
Please do Ogdoadics next plssss
I could of swore you covered these already.
I still love these cards even if they aren't the best. Seeing them get some updates over the years is pretty nice too. I just sort of wish we got a few more monsters. Like give us a Malefic Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon, Black Winged Dragon, Red Dragon Archfiend, etc. I think would add more variety
Malefic Paradox Dragon is arguably the worst Main Deck Boss monster ever in Yu-Gi-Oh history
Paradox: I fear no man
But her?
(Yubel)
She scares me
I think that Malefic Stardust's effect is fine, but I do think that Malefic Rainbow and Cyber End should have had their anime effects
That's a lot of nerfs for a bunch of cards that rely on literally the oldest trick in the book.
There's also the paradox that if he changes the past, he won't need to go to the past to change the past, Thus..... he won't go to the past to change the past.
a card i would like to see is malefic doom chimera dragon with a custom malefic ability which would be to equip other malefic monsters to it and if malefic doom chimera dragon was destroyed by battle then you can special summon any equipped monsters regardless of their summoning conditions.As the word chimera is a mixture of animals composed into one being. I also think that malefic clear wing would be a good pick because it shows more of an futuristic aspect of where paradox came from and i think it should also gain a new effect being kinda like future fusion but for malefic monsters so it would be when this card is special summoned and if "malefic world" is on the field you can activate one of these effects: Target one "malefic monster in your grave special summon that card in 2 turns: if this card is destroyed by card effect you can banish one synchro monster from your extra deck and in two turns summon that banished monster regardless of its summoning conditions. The last one that i would think is a good pick for malefic monsters is malefic magician of hope and its effect would be... When this card is special summoned you can special summon one malefic monster from your graveyard but banish it when it's destroyed. When this card is destroyed by card effect or battle you can activate 1 of these effects: if there are 3 or less malefic cards in your graveyard you can special summon 1 of those cards. you can banish this card and for every banished malefic card you have all your malefic monsters gain 200 atk for each one. I chose these cards because doom chimera dragon represents the death and destruction combining the souls of the dead into vengeance while clear wing represents the future (where paradox came from), and lastly magician of hope because of the hope/resolve paradox had to save his world from being destroyed.
Skill Drain being back at 3 makes me interested to play Malefic Skill Drain again
The DM era dragons DO have something over the other cards that most people look over: they are the ONLY Malefic monsters that you can revive after properly summoning. There's some cheeky stuff you can do with that, but it isn't groundbreaking.
Loved this video just started working on a malefic deck like 3 days ago perfect timing
2:13
“Sounds pretty hypocritical…”
-YGOTAS Yusei
13:56 "Sin Territory"
That's a different way of saying "Las Vegas", but I'll allow it.
I like it to but my only 2 complaints are that 1st the archtype was small and had few cards in it and my 2nd is that for 5ds they should have done red dragon archfiend not paradigm
Watching all these videos back to back made me buy a Polymerization card, even though I can't actually fuse most of my Fusions
You did a mistake while speaking of Malefic Force, not only does it appear in Duel Links but also in the movie, Paradox uses this card to protect Malefic Paradox Dragon thinking Yugi would want to get it since it's the strongest he had at that moment, but his target was actually Stardust Dragon.
If you actually think about it the Malefic Monsters are a reflection of the people that originally owned them:
Red-eyes: Joey once was part of a evil school gang that always stuck themselves into street brawls, and Joey also oftened bullied Yugi out of Jeolousy while Aticus once was worked with Prof. Banner and Kagemaru once to research the Shadow Games with Fujiwara and again to awaken and obtain the 3 Sacred Beasts.
Blue-eyes: Kaiba left his own Grandpa to die at his Kaiba Corp. amusment park after Atem defeated Kaiba's Grandpa at Duel Monsters, then went on to try kill Yugi and his friends with his "Death T" Terminal while psychologically breaking down Soguro Motou and ripping up Soguro's own Blue-eyes then manipulated an entire tournament for his own benefit while Soguro himself once trespassed in ancient tombs to find games to play or sell at the "Kame" shop.
Cyber-end: Zane once used to have an insatiable amount of lustful endulgence on victory and physical anxiety, betraying him bro. Syrus and his friends at Duel Academy.
Rainbow: although it was all done under Yubel's Possession Jesse did go around the Duel Terminal World reaking all kinds of dimensional chaos and dispair.
Stardust: Although it was Roman that caused the incident Yusei's dad was the one who created the Ener-D reactor and in turn allowed Roman to sentence everyone who was killed in the "Zero-Reverse" incident to the Netherworld where they all were tortured and punished for crimes the murdered masses never comitted.
They should remade the monster line-up now that it's too late to fix the monsters, they could make Malefic versions of Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon that can attack up to 3 times to monsters, a Malefic Black Skull Dragon with burn effect, Malefic Rainbow Overdragon with a shuffle into the deck effect (but It would only shuffle one card instead of the whole field) and Malefic Stardust Spark Dragon with a similar protection effect.
Malefic Archetypes look like if Necrozma (from Pokemon Sun and Moon) fused with the yu gi oh monsters instead of a lion and a bat.
please do Genex and Jurrac or more of the Hidden Arsenal Archetypes. Their Stories need to be told.
Awesome video man
I love this archetype because there’s a clear drawback of the strategy which makes it fun to build around. Like with skill drain. Or trade in.
favorite archetype of all time and that will never change
I just noticed Malefic Red-Eyes has a red, fiery/molten background in its artwork and Malefic Blue-Eyes has a blue, lightningy/storm background.
