To better explain why nobody plays the Sacred Beasts, let's go over what you have to do to get them 1: Collect all 7 Spirit Keys 2: Oh fuck Chanceler Sheppard distributed them to the best students in Duel Academy 3: Defeat Jaden (Good luck with that), Chazz, Bastion, Alexis, Zane (Good luck with that), Crowler, and Banner in a Duel without losing to any of them 4: Go into the catacombs underneath Duel Academy 5: Don't have your soul stolen by the sheer power of the Sacred Beasts And once you do get them, you have to try and keep them from stealing all the energy from the Duel Monster Spirit World, resulting in every card in the world becoming blank, _including your own cards_
Maximum Valkyr but neither is cosmic blazar. Didn't stop it from wrecking my shit the other day until I finally drew burial from the different Dimension. Fun fact: if you burial a monster that banishes itself for an effect, it can't return.
I just imagine the original Gods meeting the Sacred Beasts. Slifer: “Who’s this poser?” Uria: “You, but better!” Obelisk: “You don’t even wear protection!” Raviel: “Like that ever made YOU viable!” Ra: “You look ridiculous!” Hamon: “Says Slifer the Executive Producer, Smiley Blue Steroid Exodia, and Mega Ultra Chicken.”
Crazy not if we had the anime Wyrachucha Rasca- the anime Wiracucha Rasca - anime Wireacuchea Rasca - the bird one, which burns you to 1 life point and in range of the age old sparks ftk.
Rasca's anime effect really was broken. Skip the battle phase, your opponent's life points become 1. Not to mention that it couldn't be attacked by your opponent or affected by his spell/traps. Sad how in the real game it's the worst immortal. The only good one was Aslla Piscu (the one Carly used) in my opinion.
Crazy Depending on how you construct your Deck, Aslla Piscu (the Hummingbird, Carly's) and Ccarayhua (the Chameleon, Misty's) can both be really good. Also, once we get the Lair of Darkness structure Deck, Uru (the Spider, Roman's) is going to be really good- Tributing your opponent's monster to steal your opponent's monster is some amazing shit.
After all these years, you are still the one of the best Pyro boss monsters ever made in this game. Which is surprising, considering you came out at a time when garbage like Rainbow Dragon, Neo-Spacians and UFOroid Fighter were made
Yeah their support was very much needed, it didn't make them broken but it made them a pretty good deck, and I can't wait for the new board nuke Armityle to come to the TCG
@@AxisChurchDevotee they're FUN - they are effective enough to be playable and let you consistently get the big besties on the board and potentially still have resources left over to put down some other stuff, including a negate or two sometimes Far and away the best of the "deity" type of thing from each season I think... I mean, unless you consider SK Starving Venom a God, because if he wasn't banned he would be making you bow... To dodge all the BS he would be throwing at you.
Unless l'm mistaken, the sacred beats were released before the legal versions of the egyptian god cards, so it's super weird that they ended up better.
the real egyptian god cards were originally made to just be collectibles. i dont know why they ruined them by turning them into very awful playable cards
No they didn't... They came out before the official god cards that were able to be used in tournaments. The god cards were created and sent as fan items LONG before the sacred beasts.
I just wish that they had some of their anime effects and support; Uria could Special Summon itself from the GY if you discarded a Trap (which also makes it even stronger), you take no damage the turn that Hamon is destroyed, Raviel only needed three monsters to Tribute (not just Fiends), Dark Summoning Beast could summon *ALL* of the three Sacred Beasts at once ignoring Summoning Conditions, Chaos Core could deck thin by sending the Sacred Beasts from your deck to the GY, Armityle could non-target Banish all of your opponent's monsters once per turn, and Dimension Fusion Destruction could summon Armityle with the Sacred Beasts in your GY (not just your field), etc. Oh and also they were Divine-Beast attribute in the anime; which means any God Card support would also help them out as well.
could always make some continuous spells/traps that give them those effects, that way you're still playing "fair" monsters, while also having the option of getting them to broken levels of power if you can get a better setup later on.
If Konami gave people a way to revive the Sacred Beasts, either in the form of specific, Archetypal Continuous Spell and/or Traps as well as doing things that increase the likelihood of getting all three on the board in the same way that a lot of modern Archetypes can get several boss monsters out in one turn with only a few cards (a personal favourite is how D/D/D can fill a board with a few cards) then people who enjoy the visual and thematic style of these three "Phantom Demons" could enjoy playing with them more consistently in fun casuals.
the god cards main issue is that they just don't do a whole lot. at least uria anyway actually does a fair bit by himself. the trouble is summoning him, since there's no real way to actively get three face up traps to tribute for him on the first turn. even something like temple of the kings only lets you get one active during the turn it was set, unless you wanna try abusing bubble illusion (which i don't recommend) the god cards just need three tributes, and obelisk and slifer at least can also still be special summoned, provided you don't mind losing them in the end phase. you could just as easily spend three turns normal summon three tributes, use things like d/d lamia, speedroid terrortop, supreme king dragon darkwurm, or use scapegoat on the opponents turn and use the tokens for three link monsters, and everything in between to summon any of the gods. the other problem with the god cards is that outside mound of the bound creator, you can't really protect them that way, though ra at least has immortal phoenix to help protect it by establishing a cycle of rebirth between sphere mode, ra, and phoenix. obelisk is clearly just designed to smash things with little to no thought put into it, while slifer has a fair degree of control with his effect, but it's also sort of difficult to utilize in any meaningful way given how easy it is to play around him. i think if they want to support the god cards and the sacred beasts, they have to design support for each specific card, not support for them as a group. this is the main problem with ra's disciple. in the anime, it's clearly supposed to be support for ra, taking advantage of how ra's attack is determined by the monsters used to summon it, and 3000+ atk plus the life point conversion effect meant ra would always be a threat. this isn't the case in the actual game though, so it falls flat. i'm fine with dark summoning beast working the way he does, and i'd also like to see the other "chaos" monsters from the anime that helped the sacred beasts be adapted as well, though that particular group is more designed to summon armityle, so that's also pretty iffy i suppose. i'd like to see traps for uria that can activate the turn they're set so uria can be a little more proactively summoned, i'd also like to see monsters that can accelerate his summon and grant more attack by letting you dump traps to do things, or even having them be trap monsters. hamon could have continuous spells that add another copy when activated like that one continuous spell yubel used in the anime to summon it against amon. (but preferably with an additional effect, since otherwise it's just kind of a waste of backrow space) maybe have continuous spells/traps that grant hamon/uria additional effects if they're sent to the grave to summon them. raviel is a bit trickier though, since by all means he should be able to rally a wide range of fiend monsters and build an effective deck around summoning him. the problem is that he's objectively the worst between the sacred beasts, and even the god cards, so you'd actively make whatever fiend deck you're playing much worse by running him in it. it's clear he's supposed to be used with the other two, with hamon protecting him from battle, and uria clearing the backrow out so he can actually attack the opponent. i really don't know how i would go about supporting raviel unless they made fiends that were archtype specific to avoid having them just be fuel for extra deck summons instead. i'd continue, but i'm pretty sure i should be close to the character limit for youtube comments, lol.
i tend to construct comments in a sort of "stream of thought" style, in that i type what comes to mind as it's coming to me. i also tend to find that youtube likes to fuck with my comments when i try breaking up my comments like what you suggested. but regardless, my lack of capital letters or paragraph breaks should have little to no real affect on the actual quality of the information i'm attempting to convey, so i fail to see how it's necessary to use "proper" writing structure on something as trivial as a youtube comment. (besides, i figure that if someone isn't going to bother reading through what i write, then they probably aren't worth discussing anything with in the first place since they clearly aren't willing to actually put in the most minimal amount of effort)
Raviel might be an interesting option with the "Lair of Darkness"-Field Spell. The generated Shadow-Tokens are fiends and for his summoning you could use one of the opponents fiends (or Shadow-Tokens). Not to forget, that he has his own tributing effect.
Personally I use Harmon in my crystal beast deck, once a crystal beast is destroyed it counts as a continuous spell card. He fits in well with that effect and I’m not competitive by any means so it works.
Krystal Daneilson I haven’t bought any new cards for about three years now, I don’t mind using him in my deck because I don’t go to tournaments or anything, I just play against my friends. I either use crystal beasts or my fire kings
lolnopound I don’t own that card, I use three normal rainbow dragon and a copy of rainbow neos. Like I said I just play against friends so it’s not a huge deal
I kinda hate it too. I don't remember if it had another ability or not, but one of them makes me angry. You gain 10,000 until the end phase I think, can't remember it off the top of my head. But how much do you have on your opponents turn? None. Straight trash. Instead of giving it a good ability with actual thought behind it, they make another "OMG, BIG NUMBERS!!!!!!1!!" card. It's a bitch to summon too.
Actually, Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder is named after an angel in judeo-christianity of the same name, while Hamon AKA Ripple in JoJo's Bizzarre Adventure is named after the japanese swordsmithing technique of the same name, denoting the wavy pattern created during the hardening process present on a sword's cutting edge.

Fun fact: in one of the earliest NDS yugioh games ( I think world championship 2004 for nintendo ds) you could summon Uria with three face DOWN trap cards, even non-continuous ones. This made it super easy to cheese it out in that game.
Someone is going to mention Mound of the Bound Creator for the God cards, and yes, it does support the God cards, but it doesn't exclusively support them like Fallen Paradise does for the Sacred Beasts, or Ra's Disciple.. It's also a little paradoxical in that it needs to be popped in order to add a DIVINE monster to your hand but you want it on the field to provide protection for your God cards, so its also not nearly as good as Fallen Paradise is. This being said, it probably did deserve a mention all things considered.
My favorite use for Uria was to have as a backup plan in my "Bad Reactions" deck. Considering Bad Reaction to Simochi and Eye of Truth was already amazing having Uria as an alternate way to win was always nice.
i can recommend you a video that summerizes the story very well and is fun to watch anyways. look up "Overly Sarcastic Productions" video on Paradise Lost.
+Kenny H I love using it with Nordics. Having a 4000k Odin that can make himself unaffected to Spell/Traps and can't be Targeted or destroyed and deals extra 1000 damage if he destroys a monster is pretty spicy.
Kenny H mound of the bound creator sucks because you have to pop it yourself and take a neg one to even search the monster then somehow get another one on the field for protection. That's like a -3 or 4 play right there
The issue with the god cards is that they don't special summon themselves. If you do SS them, they off themselves. And there isn't a single card that actually helps you summon all of them. Like it's easy to run all 3 sacred beasts in the same deck, but almost impossible to run all 3 gods in the same deck. And y'know, not brick harder than Shaq at the free throw line.
Matt the Backwards One it's a +1 if you pop it with Ancient Fairy Dragon & can be like a plus 7 if you popped it with the set rotation yazi combo, standard holactie ftk things, I think that was one of the reasons AFD was banned there
Unless Uria was errated and I just never got the new variant, you can use cards such as metal morph, Kunai with chain, spike shield with chain etc etc on top of any continuous traps
8:03 to 8:09- that secondary effect is actually more useful then you think. I mean you can summon dark summoning beast with the pendulum scale or something then you can tribute it to summon Raviel immediately, then set call of the haunted and use it next turn to bring dark summoning beast back,also make sure you have a fiendish chain trap card set to protect dark summoning beast, then tribute it to bring out Hamon and then place as many continuous traps on the field,as long as you have at least 2 or more in your hand, but leave one space if you have heavy storm in your hand. Finally you can banish dark summoning beast from your graveyard to add Uria from your deck to your hand, tribute 3 of the traps and then summon Uria, then activate heavy storm then the extra trap cards you set will be sent to the graveyard and will give Uria quite the power boost(it will also get rid of any spells or traps your opponents set on the field so it's a win-win situation).
There actually was a really cool Uria deck focused on trap monsters and tons of stall and counter traps. It would just sit there and totally lock the field until deck out, which would almost always be the other guy thanks to them searching, or drop a 16,000 atk Uria and one shot for game. Pretty fun deck, and more consistent than you might have thought.
I’m surprised you didn’t mention that people tried Hamon in crystal beasts, since they could tribute the crystals on their bench. I know crystal beasts were not too relevant, but I thought it was pretty cute.
Crystal beasts was my favorite deck back in the day. But after experimenting with Hamon a lot, I concluded it's simply not worth it. The card just doesn't do anything, and it's honestly often not worth the 3 tributed CBs, which could be used for something like Crystal Abundance instead. You already run Rainbow Dragon in that deck, which is just plain better. And you only need so many 4000 beatsticks.
I hated how they are so ridiculous similar in design to the egyptian god cards and how nobody in the duel academy nobody notices that despite of them all living in slifer, obelisk and ra houses
I remember making top 8 at Regional with Hamon Crystal Beasts years ago... Good times. Hamon/Emerald Tortoise was fun. Attack and defense at the same time.
Too bad Bagooska does the job better nowadays. But at least now the structure deck made them pretty decent on their own, and a legitimate rogue deck if supplemented by the Eldlitch engines.
just wanted to say the three sacred beast were desined to be played together in a sense for example if you played uria and hamon together then introdused ravial it would make a very difficult barrier for your opponents (granted you would have to get kinda lucky or wait till this plan is able to be done) that goes to say i have all three and also a 5 headed dragon that i like to keep in my deck with a dragon shield or two
I remember pulling Uria when i was a kid, lost my shit, but it was also around the time i moved so i had no friends to play it against or even show it off to.
Raviel can theoretically OTK if you tribute Hamon but that's such a risky play you really only wanna do it if you're absolutely certain you can. Stuff like Stygian Street Patrol and Mystic Tomato really helps with getting Dark Summoning Beast out into the field without tributing, and Imperial Customs will protect your Continuous Traps until you're ready to use them to summon Uria, which makes Trap Monsters pretty effective. And Mound of the Bound Creator is a decent secondary field spell. Gives the same protection, and does a little burn damage. Which makes Hamon pretty dangerous, dealing 2000 damage whenever it destroys a monster. Just a few suggestions for anyone wanting to build a Sacred Beast deck.
it's fun how the egyptian gods and variations of then always follows a line of "wanna be gods", they all belong to an god themed archetype with potential to gain high atk and a good effect, but they are all limited by a summoning condition and a requiriment to trigger their effect.
I used Hamon all the time in my Crystal Beast deck like seven years back. It did alright in regionals, but having the crystal beasts being able to become continuous spells made Hamon stupidly easy to throw into the deck. Almost feels like they unintentionally made Hamon for Crystal Beasts.
Considering Emerald Turtle's effect works very well with Hamon (altough modern Crystal Beast decks run Bagooska wich has a better lockdown effect and is easier to summon), you can even argue it being intentional.
This kinda makes me sad because I really like the Sacred Beasts and GX is my fav and those are the most memorable cards from the GX for me. Ughhh I just wish Konami would take a moment to give some old cards support and make them good because there are a lot of GX,5d's and Duel Monsters fans that really want to play with some of the cards from that era but they suck compared to today's meta. If only Konami would just add new support to them instead of constantly making new cards. I really wish they made some new support for the Evil Heroes too. They were amazing when they came out and I love the Supreme King.
I really, really like these three monsters. As a kid I often tried to make them work in my decks but wasn't very successful. Now I'd love to give them another go, especially Uria.
4:15 it does have defense and attack the 3 continous traps you sent to the graveyard gives Uria 3,000 ATK 3,000 Def for each continous traps in your graveyard
I will say I've managed to build a deck that revolves mainly around using Hamon and raviel which is a fiend focused deck one of the simplest cards that is useable to quickly summon Raviel is the Phantom blaster (genuinely forgot that things name) but basically once Hamon is in defense on the field and you have raviel the only other monsters or cards you would need are negate effect cards/monsters and use raviel and other monsters to attack Theres quite a lot of support options for raviel and hamon if they are the two main cards for the deck especially fiend decks have alot of support but the cards are lack luster in terms of how much a single card provides in terms of support so it's hard to keep a good balance of both spells and traps with monsters if you are overly worried about card effects Only issue is it's quite easy to over power hamons defences so even then an additional defensive support for Hamon would also be needed just incase But the key is learn how to play the cards and what card combos work best because even a simple deck like a Gaia deck using the gaia that gains 2600 attack for each card it destroys could quite easily catch up and supersede raviel and Hamon
I'm not sure you realized that the sacred beasts came out long before the legal god cards were released.. otherwise great video, but they weren't "improving on their flaws"
I’m still mad we aren’t getting the sacred beast structure deck. I would’ve loved to see the meme that would be the deck haha. Shaddolls are cool too I guess lol
Shouldn't this video technically be called "Why Nobody Plays the Sacred Beasts, except by a small handful of people and more frequently than the Egyptian Gods"?
One thing about Slifer the Sky Dragon I could say was good is that if you had the spell Infinite Cards you could hold as many cards as you drew, permitting that card isn't banned, anyway.
I really wish Uria had his revival effect from the anime. That was the only thing they changed from his anime effect. Basically his revival effect in the anime was "if this card is destroyed you can discard one trap card, special summon this card ignoring summoning conditions" or something along those lines
Actually, Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder is named after an angel in judeo-christianity of the same name, while Hamon AKA Ripple in JoJo's Bizzarre Adventure is named after the japanese swordsmithing technique of the same name, denoting the wavy pattern created during the hardening process present on a sword's cutting edge.
The new "Lair of Darkness" Deck could add in Raviel as a boss monster due to the number of Fiends it already has and that all the tokens from the field spell that it is named after being Fiends as well and the fact that they love tributing cards makes it a really good deck for Raviel.
Easy way to make them better: Uria is unaffected by traps, Hamon unaffected by spells, Raviel unaffected by Monster effects - and the protection spreads. So, if you have Uria and Hamon on the field, they're both immune to Spells and Traps. All 3 - they're essentially unkillable unless you can somehow run them over.
Uria was actually pretty good when mound of the bound creator was released. Running 3 skill drains, malific cyber ends, and metal reflect slime were the main cards, with some extra continuous traps that offer protection to backrow and front row. Only thing it couldn't complete with were the pendulums, which had also just released.
With the idea for Raviel that would be too OP. His draw back for only being stronger for one turn is balanced. You can use a 5000atk monster and Raigeki and can obliderate your opponent(s).
I love you for uploading this! Here's a good one: Why nobody uses "rank-up magic", specifically the Zexal era ones that created the cxyz and chaos numbers. The arc v ones are archetype support so it's not really the same.
Wicked Eraser, Deadroot and Avatar are called the Wicked Gods in the Manga. You could also do the Nordic Gods (Aeiser monsters) or the Earthbound Immortals from 5Ds, pretty sure no one plays them competitively IRL.
Nordics should just be able to do their own thing and not need to follow the same 3 god gimmick as what came before. If they're going to be given legacy support, they first need to be rebooted, because the original cards are either powercrept or unfixable gimmicky nonsense at this point
One card you forgot about, Dzeef, although it's basically as mediocre as Ra's Disciple... worse, since it requires playing multiple different Sacred Beasts in your deck, and is only useful to Worst Beast Raviel. (Well, i suppose you could use it to generate tribute fodder for Dark Summoning Beast, but unless you topdeck it with Fallen Paradise's draw...) Phantasmal Martyrs: Activate only while you have 2 or more cards in your hand, and control a face-up "Uria, Lord of Searing Flames" or "Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder". Send your entire hand to the Graveyard to Special Summon 3 "Phantasmal Martyr Tokens" (Fiend-Type/DARK/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0) in Attack Position.
Uria used to be immune to bottomless trap hole back when u played it. When I used to summon it you can call priority on its effect when its summon. Since they cant respond to it the effect resolves and now uria has been successfully summoned.
In my opinion, SOMETIMES, the Sacred Beasts are better than the Egyptian Gods, permitting that you have meaningless traps to sacrifice to summon Uria, and meaningless spells to sacrifice to summon Hamon, for example. Truthfully, I like to duel with my deck that's not unfairly OP'd, because I like strategy with monsters that normally wouldn't be good to use in battle.
The Four Star Gamer My favorite cards are Arcana Knight Joker XYZ Dragon Cannon, Draco Equiste, which are all fusion monsters. Oh I duel with my Yugioh cards, I just like to strategize with cards most people wouldn't use sometimes.
Just molly whomp some dudes using spirit ryu in a dragon deck, get some backup to destroy defense cards and discard 5 dragons from your hand and boom 6k glass cannon on a 3☆ monster, nobody ever expects the dark horse known as spirit ryu
The most fun I had was with Uria was back in Infernity format. Infernity couldn't do anything vs any combo of skill drain/grave of the super ancient organism/metal reflect slime. Each Infernity players frustration was priceless as they all they could do was wait until finally you spring your cold wave summon Uria and attack their archfiend they always summoned in attack mode because they never wanted to set/discard it for game.
Uria could have been much better if they kept its effect from the anime, which went like this: "This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by its own effect or by sending 3 Trap Cards you control to the Graveyard. This card gains 1000 ATK and DEF for each Trap Card in your Graveyard. Once per turn, you can select 1 face-down Spell or Trap Card your opponent controls, and destroy it. Spell and Trap Cards cannot be activated in response to this effect's activation. If this card is destroyed, during your next Main Phase, you can discard 1 Trap Card to Special Summon this card from your Graveyard. During the turn you Special Summoned this card by its effect, you cannot activate its other effects, and if you control another monster, this card cannot declare an attack."
Alex Young well that would make Uria op urias anime effect has the ability or break an entire deck since you have to continuously spend resources in this case your trap cards and unless you run an entire deck full of traps your opponent could just remove uria from play basically now if you can’t use any of those traps you previously had you just wasted your deck and another reason uria would be overpowered would be because of you play duel links some players every once in a while use specific cards only like this one specific kind of deck to run uria and while you might argue that if your dedicating an entire deck full of nothing but traps effectively helps you support the card or helps you effectively protect it with the other traps you have this might be true but it can also simply be used as a trap bait deck in a nutshell forcing you to use a spell or trap so they can get rid of certain threat then reveal their real strategy and another disadvantage would be if your opponent used a card that removed other cards from play this drastically reduces its overall attack points as well as putting you at a major disadvantage in the anime jaden when facing kagemaru had to remove cards in his graveyard basically he had no backup plan while urias anime effect definitely won’t be a bad thing it will make the card overpowered especially if you are that one guy who’s willling to buy pack after pack after pack just to be able to support a specific card but the card would be op in real life it’s anime effect best stay that way cause In real life your opponent would be at a disadvantage while you have an unfair advantage
RioluMan Yeah i just happened to be playing crystal beasts before pendulum was announced soo i know how good both dragon and hamon are and my deck was 45 card because there are so many cards i wanted to play pot of duality torrential 2 copies of all crystal spells except promise and becon 3
I would really like to see if there's a way to work Raviel into Lair of Darkness, since his effect could potentially remove an opponent's monster and give you a big attacker. Also, summoning him can produce some lair tokens and possibly bring out a diabolos, regaining a bit of lost card economy. The trick would be to find a way to get three fiends out easily, which is much easier said than done.
I used to play a dark necrofear deck and Raviel was a nice boss card to have, but it was still pretty hard to summon. I ended up replacing him with a 4000 atkdef big fiend dude whose name I can't remember but was much much easier to summon.

Me: *Watches a video about how the Sacred Beasts are absolute trash* Also Me, an absolute mad man: *Splashes them into my D/D/D Deck* Also Me in July 2020: "Did Konami watch this video and say *We'll show him to call these discount Egyptian God cards bad!* ?"
if they only had their anime effects, they would be played by more people i mean uria for example, you need 3 continuous traps, in the anime you only need 3 traps for atk no matter what kind of trap, and you could bring him back from the GY with discard 1 trap, so hes back with even more power, and to be honest, i maybe have some understanding (like 2%) why they decided to bring out the gods without their anime effects, but the sacred beasts? they are not immune to effects/traps/spells so there is no reason why they couldnt bring out the anime version
the Egyptian monsters received several card support not only Ra's Disciple but also (Mound of the Bound Creator ) which protects the Egyptian cards against card effects and prevent them from being destroyed , inflict 1000 Damage for each monster destroyed by an Egyptian card and if this Zone card is destroyed add 1 Egyptian card from your deck to your hand The True name can be used to search the deck for Egyptian cards directly Card Advance combined with The True Name and Ra's Disciple can be used to tribute summon an Egyptian card in one turn I don't think you've studied the Egyptian cards very well
To better explain why nobody plays the Sacred Beasts, let's go over what you have to do to get them
1: Collect all 7 Spirit Keys
2: Oh fuck Chanceler Sheppard distributed them to the best students in Duel Academy
3: Defeat Jaden (Good luck with that), Chazz, Bastion, Alexis, Zane (Good luck with that), Crowler, and Banner in a Duel without losing to any of them
4: Go into the catacombs underneath Duel Academy
5: Don't have your soul stolen by the sheer power of the Sacred Beasts
And once you do get them, you have to try and keep them from stealing all the energy from the Duel Monster Spirit World, resulting in every card in the world becoming blank, _including your own cards_
all that for a 4K beater that you can barely summon. Yay.
For the first 3 just trick Chazz into taking them and have him face someone who protects the keys.
We don't screw around in looking for wielders
Uria, Lord of Searing Games Why you looking for people to help seal you 🤔🤔🤔

It's obvious why nobody plays them. Their boss monster can't be summoned by Brilliant Fusion.

The reason no one plays these cards is because when there’s no monsters on the field you can attack directly with Dark Magician.

Also, once we get the Lair of Darkness structure Deck, Uru (the Spider, Roman's) is going to be really good- Tributing your opponent's monster to steal your opponent's monster is some amazing shit.
Disliked. Flagged. Reported to the Yu-Gi-Oh! Police.
Uria, Lord of Searing Games
Oh believe me i have
I played against a uria deck during a tournament.
After all these years, you are still the one of the best Pyro boss monsters ever made in this game. Which is surprising, considering you came out at a time when garbage like Rainbow Dragon, Neo-Spacians and UFOroid Fighter were made

2018: "Sacred beasts aren't good, "
2020: "Oh God!"
Yeah their support was very much needed, it didn't make them broken but it made them a pretty good deck, and I can't wait for the new board nuke Armityle to come to the TCG
oh god! they're still pretty bad
@@AxisChurchDevotee they're FUN - they are effective enough to be playable and let you consistently get the big besties on the board and potentially still have resources left over to put down some other stuff, including a negate or two sometimes
Far and away the best of the "deity" type of thing from each season I think... I mean, unless you consider SK Starving Venom a God, because if he wasn't banned he would be making you bow... To dodge all the BS he would be throwing at you.
With the structure deck they are super good for people who want to get into yu gi oh
The new support is useful and is what makes them good
Unless l'm mistaken, the sacred beats were released before the legal versions of the egyptian god cards, so it's super weird that they ended up better.
Probably because the Egyptian Gods are really just overbalanced fanservice
the real egyptian god cards were originally made to just be collectibles. i dont know why they ruined them by turning them into very awful playable cards
Yeah, I was pretty certain they did, but dzeeff made it sound like they came out after and I second guessed myself.
Yo sacred beats cards would be lit
No they didn't... They came out before the official god cards that were able to be used in tournaments. The god cards were created and sent as fan items LONG before the sacred beasts.
I just wish that they had some of their anime effects and support; Uria could Special Summon itself from the GY if you discarded a Trap (which also makes it even stronger), you take no damage the turn that Hamon is destroyed, Raviel only needed three monsters to Tribute (not just Fiends), Dark Summoning Beast could summon *ALL* of the three Sacred Beasts at once ignoring Summoning Conditions, Chaos Core could deck thin by sending the Sacred Beasts from your deck to the GY, Armityle could non-target Banish all of your opponent's monsters once per turn, and Dimension Fusion Destruction could summon Armityle with the Sacred Beasts in your GY (not just your field), etc. Oh and also they were Divine-Beast attribute in the anime; which means any God Card support would also help them out as well.
could always make some continuous spells/traps that give them those effects, that way you're still playing "fair" monsters, while also having the option of getting them to broken levels of power if you can get a better setup later on.
If Konami gave people a way to revive the Sacred Beasts, either in the form of specific, Archetypal Continuous Spell and/or Traps as well as doing things that increase the likelihood of getting all three on the board in the same way that a lot of modern Archetypes can get several boss monsters out in one turn with only a few cards (a personal favourite is how D/D/D can fill a board with a few cards) then people who enjoy the visual and thematic style of these three "Phantom Demons" could enjoy playing with them more consistently in fun casuals.
the god cards main issue is that they just don't do a whole lot. at least uria anyway actually does a fair bit by himself. the trouble is summoning him, since there's no real way to actively get three face up traps to tribute for him on the first turn. even something like temple of the kings only lets you get one active during the turn it was set, unless you wanna try abusing bubble illusion (which i don't recommend) the god cards just need three tributes, and obelisk and slifer at least can also still be special summoned, provided you don't mind losing them in the end phase. you could just as easily spend three turns normal summon three tributes, use things like d/d lamia, speedroid terrortop, supreme king dragon darkwurm, or use scapegoat on the opponents turn and use the tokens for three link monsters, and everything in between to summon any of the gods. the other problem with the god cards is that outside mound of the bound creator, you can't really protect them that way, though ra at least has immortal phoenix to help protect it by establishing a cycle of rebirth between sphere mode, ra, and phoenix. obelisk is clearly just designed to smash things with little to no thought put into it, while slifer has a fair degree of control with his effect, but it's also sort of difficult to utilize in any meaningful way given how easy it is to play around him. i think if they want to support the god cards and the sacred beasts, they have to design support for each specific card, not support for them as a group. this is the main problem with ra's disciple. in the anime, it's clearly supposed to be support for ra, taking advantage of how ra's attack is determined by the monsters used to summon it, and 3000+ atk plus the life point conversion effect meant ra would always be a threat. this isn't the case in the actual game though, so it falls flat. i'm fine with dark summoning beast working the way he does, and i'd also like to see the other "chaos" monsters from the anime that helped the sacred beasts be adapted as well, though that particular group is more designed to summon armityle, so that's also pretty iffy i suppose. i'd like to see traps for uria that can activate the turn they're set so uria can be a little more proactively summoned, i'd also like to see monsters that can accelerate his summon and grant more attack by letting you dump traps to do things, or even having them be trap monsters. hamon could have continuous spells that add another copy when activated like that one continuous spell yubel used in the anime to summon it against amon. (but preferably with an additional effect, since otherwise it's just kind of a waste of backrow space) maybe have continuous spells/traps that grant hamon/uria additional effects if they're sent to the grave to summon them. raviel is a bit trickier though, since by all means he should be able to rally a wide range of fiend monsters and build an effective deck around summoning him. the problem is that he's objectively the worst between the sacred beasts, and even the god cards, so you'd actively make whatever fiend deck you're playing much worse by running him in it. it's clear he's supposed to be used with the other two, with hamon protecting him from battle, and uria clearing the backrow out so he can actually attack the opponent. i really don't know how i would go about supporting raviel unless they made fiends that were archtype specific to avoid having them just be fuel for extra deck summons instead. i'd continue, but i'm pretty sure i should be close to the character limit for youtube comments, lol.
i tend to construct comments in a sort of "stream of thought" style, in that i type what comes to mind as it's coming to me. i also tend to find that youtube likes to fuck with my comments when i try breaking up my comments like what you suggested. but regardless, my lack of capital letters or paragraph breaks should have little to no real affect on the actual quality of the information i'm attempting to convey, so i fail to see how it's necessary to use "proper" writing structure on something as trivial as a youtube comment. (besides, i figure that if someone isn't going to bother reading through what i write, then they probably aren't worth discussing anything with in the first place since they clearly aren't willing to actually put in the most minimal amount of effort)
Raviel might be an interesting option with the "Lair of Darkness"-Field Spell. The generated Shadow-Tokens are fiends and for his summoning you could use one of the opponents fiends (or Shadow-Tokens). Not to forget, that he has his own tributing effect.
Personally I use Harmon in my crystal beast deck, once a crystal beast is destroyed it counts as a continuous spell card. He fits in well with that effect and I’m not competitive by any means so it works.
Sailor Wolf eh crystal beast don't need him anymore
Krystal Daneilson I haven’t bought any new cards for about three years now, I don’t mind using him in my deck because I don’t go to tournaments or anything, I just play against my friends. I either use crystal beasts or my fire kings
lolnopound I don’t own that card, I use three normal rainbow dragon and a copy of rainbow neos. Like I said I just play against friends so it’s not a huge deal
Sailor Wolf a) that has been done for years b) nowadays it just wastes resources so it's bar

Android 17 i'm screaming
The Fusion of all three of these is the biggest disappointment in the world.
I kinda hate it too. I don't remember if it had another ability or not, but one of them makes me angry. You gain 10,000 until the end phase I think, can't remember it off the top of my head. But how much do you have on your opponents turn? None. Straight trash. Instead of giving it a good ability with actual thought behind it, they make another "OMG, BIG NUMBERS!!!!!!1!!" card. It's a bitch to summon too.
Lazy Lee ever heard of horakhty
Nah, swinging with it is hilarious, especially since Paradise protects it.
JHC_ _YMG horakthy wasn't fusion tho and you only needed mons for the gods
It is
These cards ruled my schoolyard when they came out. I remember trading a Ultimate Rare Uria for an entire binder when it first came out. #noragerts
I also traded my Raviel for a shit ton of good cards back in the day. Guess I kinda knew back then that it was dogshit
2018: Nobody plays Sacred Beasts

>hamon
WAIT A SEC IS THAT A...
Actually, Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder is named after an angel in judeo-christianity of the same name, while Hamon AKA Ripple in JoJo's Bizzarre Adventure is named after the japanese swordsmithing technique of the same name, denoting the wavy pattern created during the hardening process present on a sword's cutting edge.
I read this whole thread in gigguk's voice
OVERDRIVE!
@@OnEiNsAnEmOtHeRfUcKa Hamon as far as I know isn't an angel hes a guy who tried to kill all the Jews in the book of Esther (well he's called haman in the book) Uriah was sent to the front lines to die by king David and I'm not sure about raviel
@@OnEiNsAnEmOtHeRfUcKa *so much virgin in one comment*
Fun fact: in one of the earliest NDS yugioh games ( I think world championship 2004 for nintendo ds) you could summon Uria with three face DOWN trap cards, even non-continuous ones. This made it super easy to cheese it out in that game.
Someone is going to mention Mound of the Bound Creator for the God cards, and yes, it does support the God cards, but it doesn't exclusively support them like Fallen Paradise does for the Sacred Beasts, or Ra's Disciple.. It's also a little paradoxical in that it needs to be popped in order to add a DIVINE monster to your hand but you want it on the field to provide protection for your God cards, so its also not nearly as good as Fallen Paradise is.
This being said, it probably did deserve a mention all things considered.
1:20
Ah yes, Uria, Lord of Searing Piss
Ghost Rider alternate form?
Urine, Lord of Sears Portrait Studio
So the Wicked Gods are next? I can totally get behind that!
My favorite use for Uria was to have as a backup plan in my "Bad Reactions" deck. Considering Bad Reaction to Simochi and Eye of Truth was already amazing having Uria as an alternate way to win was always nice.
Roses are red, it's dangerous in the streets, "Why no one plays the sacred beasts"
I'll reply so you can look at this comment of yours again and see that it doesn't rhyme
Same time as Cimoooooooo. Gotta think of something quick...
They're each a third of masterpiece. A better card
StickFigureJosh cimoooooo rips off a lot of dzeeef's content. In fact he even has lipsinked videos 3 different times.
Hamon run over that (not a jojo reference)
Hyoroemon Meto Hamon runs over that (Mandatory JoJo Reference.)
Dzeeff >cimoooooooo
Paradise lost is better than Fallen Paradise anyways.
Jackben Imble Megaman X8 anyone?
more like classic literature anyone
Being latin american I had no idea about John Milton's book, but I appreciate the recomendation I guess...
i can recommend you a video that summerizes the story very well and is fun to watch anyways.
look up "Overly Sarcastic Productions" video on Paradise Lost.
That's cool, and if you haven't played it, I recomend you Megaman X8, it's one of the most underated Megaman games in the franchise...
Everyone gangsta till the structure deck came out
What about Mound of the bound creator? That's a field card for God monsters.
Hamon + 4 attack + mound of the bound creater = gg
+Kenny H I love using it with Nordics. Having a 4000k Odin that can make himself unaffected to Spell/Traps and can't be Targeted or destroyed and deals extra 1000 damage if he destroys a monster is pretty spicy.
Kenny H mound of the bound creator sucks because you have to pop it yourself and take a neg one to even search the monster then somehow get another one on the field for protection. That's like a -3 or 4 play right there
The issue with the god cards is that they don't special summon themselves. If you do SS them, they off themselves. And there isn't a single card that actually helps you summon all of them. Like it's easy to run all 3 sacred beasts in the same deck, but almost impossible to run all 3 gods in the same deck. And y'know, not brick harder than Shaq at the free throw line.
Matt the Backwards One it's a +1 if you pop it with Ancient Fairy Dragon & can be like a plus 7 if you popped it with the set rotation yazi combo, standard holactie ftk things, I think that was one of the reasons AFD was banned there
Unless Uria was errated and I just never got the new variant, you can use cards such as metal morph, Kunai with chain, spike shield with chain etc etc on top of any continuous traps
Are those still trap cards or do they count as equip spell cards while face up? I have no idea
Why Nobody Plays the Wicked Gods/Nordic Gods?
TerribleTitan oh and the Earthbounds
I’m so sad the Nordic Gods became less viable. Back in the days I used Nordic decks in so many tournaments.
There's a legacy of the worthless for nordic gods
Check out legacy of worthless dude
EddieP9524 I think you mean the “mother” series (joky joke much bad joky joke)
8:03 to 8:09- that secondary effect is actually more useful then you think. I mean you can summon dark summoning beast with the pendulum scale or something then you can tribute it to summon Raviel immediately, then set call of the haunted and use it next turn to bring dark summoning beast back,also make sure you have a fiendish chain trap card set to protect dark summoning beast, then tribute it to bring out Hamon and then place as many continuous traps on the field,as long as you have at least 2 or more in your hand, but leave one space if you have heavy storm in your hand. Finally you can banish dark summoning beast from your graveyard to add Uria from your deck to your hand, tribute 3 of the traps and then summon Uria, then activate heavy storm then the extra trap cards you set will be sent to the graveyard and will give Uria quite the power boost(it will also get rid of any spells or traps your opponents set on the field so it's a win-win situation).
0:01:30 - Actually, Uria is pronounced the second way (Yoo-Rye-Ah) (which is how it is said in the anime, so it must be correct, right? :-|D).
Lol I thought it was yoor-e-ah
In Germany we just say U-Ri-A
There actually was a really cool Uria deck focused on trap monsters and tons of stall and counter traps.
It would just sit there and totally lock the field until deck out, which would almost always be the other guy thanks to them searching, or drop a 16,000 atk Uria and one shot for game.
Pretty fun deck, and more consistent than you might have thought.
I’m surprised you didn’t mention that people tried Hamon in crystal beasts, since they could tribute the crystals on their bench. I know crystal beasts were not too relevant, but I thought it was pretty cute.
Crystal beasts was my favorite deck back in the day. But after experimenting with Hamon a lot, I concluded it's simply not worth it. The card just doesn't do anything, and it's honestly often not worth the 3 tributed CBs, which could be used for something like Crystal Abundance instead. You already run Rainbow Dragon in that deck, which is just plain better. And you only need so many 4000 beatsticks.
I hated how they are so ridiculous similar in design to the egyptian god cards and how nobody in the duel academy nobody notices that despite of them all living in slifer, obelisk and ra houses
I remember making top 8 at Regional with Hamon Crystal Beasts years ago... Good times. Hamon/Emerald Tortoise was fun. Attack and defense at the same time.
Too bad Bagooska does the job better nowadays. But at least now the structure deck made them pretty decent on their own, and a legitimate rogue deck if supplemented by the Eldlitch engines.
Question to the anime: So Pegasus almost got almost went insane making the God cards. Why did he print the Sacred Beasts??
Free money
And to think just 2 years later sacred beasts would get support that makes then not only a fun, but actually competitive rogue deck.
just wanted to say the three sacred beast were desined to be played together in a sense for example if you played uria and hamon together then introdused ravial it would make a very difficult barrier for your opponents (granted you would have to get kinda lucky or wait till this plan is able to be done) that goes to say i have all three and also a 5 headed dragon that i like to keep in my deck with a dragon shield or two
I remember pulling Uria when i was a kid, lost my shit, but it was also around the time i moved so i had no friends to play it against or even show it off to.
Raviel can theoretically OTK if you tribute Hamon but that's such a risky play you really only wanna do it if you're absolutely certain you can.
Stuff like Stygian Street Patrol and Mystic Tomato really helps with getting Dark Summoning Beast out into the field without tributing, and Imperial Customs will protect your Continuous Traps until you're ready to use them to summon Uria, which makes Trap Monsters pretty effective. And Mound of the Bound Creator is a decent secondary field spell. Gives the same protection, and does a little burn damage. Which makes Hamon pretty dangerous, dealing 2000 damage whenever it destroys a monster.
Just a few suggestions for anyone wanting to build a Sacred Beast deck.
Holy frick, is Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder a goddamn JOJO REFERENCE?!?!
Nope it's the opposite jojo is a refrence to sacred beasts
good boy how does that make sense jojo came out in the 80s
Christopher Banks 2000's is > than 1980's sooo you lose the argument
good boy hmm.. alright now
I mean Kazuki Takahashi IS a JoJo fan
it's fun how the egyptian gods and variations of then always follows a line of "wanna be gods", they all belong to an god themed archetype with potential to gain high atk and a good effect, but they are all limited by a summoning condition and a requiriment to trigger their effect.
When do we get another Pack opening Video?
;)
I used Hamon all the time in my Crystal Beast deck like seven years back. It did alright in regionals, but having the crystal beasts being able to become continuous spells made Hamon stupidly easy to throw into the deck. Almost feels like they unintentionally made Hamon for Crystal Beasts.
Considering Emerald Turtle's effect works very well with Hamon (altough modern Crystal Beast decks run Bagooska wich has a better lockdown effect and is easier to summon), you can even argue it being intentional.
So, Earthbound Immortals next?
Yes! Arise Aslla Piscu!
This kinda makes me sad because I really like the Sacred Beasts and GX is my fav and those are the most memorable cards from the GX for me. Ughhh I just wish Konami would take a moment to give some old cards support and make them good because there are a lot of GX,5d's and Duel Monsters fans that really want to play with some of the cards from that era but they suck compared to today's meta. If only Konami would just add new support to them instead of constantly making new cards. I really wish they made some new support for the Evil Heroes too. They were amazing when they came out and I love the Supreme King.
Remember when JoJo was good, when there was the Lord of Striking Thunder instead of stands?
do you really think that or just using it for the joke?
I really, really like these three monsters. As a kid I often tried to make them work in my decks but wasn't very successful. Now I'd love to give them another go, especially Uria.
Awesome vid, can you do the Nordic Gods or Wicked Gods Next
wicked dreadroot is one of my favourite cards, it was pretty much my 'ace' monster for a long while in casual duels
Raviel isn't too bad in the new Lair of Darkness structure deck
4:15 it does have defense and attack the 3 continous traps you sent to the graveyard gives Uria 3,000 ATK 3,000 Def for each continous traps in your graveyard
Leave my precious uria alone
*YOU LEAVE HIM*
I will say I've managed to build a deck that revolves mainly around using Hamon and raviel which is a fiend focused deck one of the simplest cards that is useable to quickly summon Raviel is the Phantom blaster (genuinely forgot that things name) but basically once Hamon is in defense on the field and you have raviel the only other monsters or cards you would need are negate effect cards/monsters and use raviel and other monsters to attack
Theres quite a lot of support options for raviel and hamon if they are the two main cards for the deck especially fiend decks have alot of support but the cards are lack luster in terms of how much a single card provides in terms of support so it's hard to keep a good balance of both spells and traps with monsters if you are overly worried about card effects
Only issue is it's quite easy to over power hamons defences so even then an additional defensive support for Hamon would also be needed just incase
But the key is learn how to play the cards and what card combos work best because even a simple deck like a Gaia deck using the gaia that gains 2600 attack for each card it destroys could quite easily catch up and supersede raviel and Hamon
I'm not sure you realized that the sacred beasts came out long before the legal god cards were released.. otherwise great video, but they weren't "improving on their flaws"
What god cards were out before the legal ones?
I’m still mad we aren’t getting the sacred beast structure deck. I would’ve loved to see the meme that would be the deck haha. Shaddolls are cool too I guess lol
Shouldn't this video technically be called "Why Nobody Plays the Sacred Beasts, except by a small handful of people and more frequently than the Egyptian Gods"?
Funny, considering I am one of that small handful of people. ^_^
Obelisk is played more, true name decks n stuff
RisingJericho Isi
One thing about Slifer the Sky Dragon I could say was good is that if you had the spell Infinite Cards you could hold as many cards as you drew, permitting that card isn't banned, anyway.
dzeeff 2018: Why Nobody Plays the Sacred Beasts
Konami 2020: z0mg LOLOLOL
I really wish Uria had his revival effect from the anime. That was the only thing they changed from his anime effect. Basically his revival effect in the anime was "if this card is destroyed you can discard one trap card, special summon this card ignoring summoning conditions" or something along those lines
HAMON?? IS THAT A JOJO REFERENCE??
OVADRIVUUUU!!!
Obligatory Jojoke: Your Hamon is MUDA MUDA MUDA! WWRRRRYYYYY!
from what I understand, the sacred beasts were based on biblical figures
Actually, Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder is named after an angel in judeo-christianity of the same name, while Hamon AKA Ripple in JoJo's Bizzarre Adventure is named after the japanese swordsmithing technique of the same name, denoting the wavy pattern created during the hardening process present on a sword's cutting edge.
Dexxus thanks
*SUPER SPAGHETTI OVERDRIVEEEEEEEIEIRHWODOEKFJDJSISJJ*
The new "Lair of Darkness" Deck could add in Raviel as a boss monster due to the number of Fiends it already has and that all the tokens from the field spell that it is named after being Fiends as well and the fact that they love tributing cards makes it a really good deck for Raviel.
I think you mean the sacred feasts
Oreo, Ravioli, and Ham
Reply if you get the reference
Noel George haha good one
thx
Why do I get the reference. Fuck
Easy way to make them better: Uria is unaffected by traps, Hamon unaffected by spells, Raviel unaffected by Monster effects - and the protection spreads. So, if you have Uria and Hamon on the field, they're both immune to Spells and Traps. All 3 - they're essentially unkillable unless you can somehow run them over.
This will all change soon to "Sacred Beasts are worth playing" once the structure deck releases
Uria was actually pretty good when mound of the bound creator was released.
Running 3 skill drains, malific cyber ends, and metal reflect slime were the main cards, with some extra continuous traps that offer protection to backrow and front row.
Only thing it couldn't complete with were the pendulums, which had also just released.
Egyptian god cards vs the Christian god cards
With the idea for Raviel that would be too OP. His draw back for only being stronger for one turn is balanced. You can use a 5000atk monster and Raigeki and can obliderate your opponent(s).
oreo lord of scared feasts lick if you get the refrence
I love you for uploading this!
Here's a good one: Why nobody uses "rank-up magic", specifically the Zexal era ones that created the cxyz and chaos numbers. The arc v ones are archetype support so it's not really the same.
There should be a duel of: Egyption gods vs Sacred Beasts.
Check xylophoney playes for that
Wicked Eraser, Deadroot and Avatar are called the Wicked Gods in the Manga.
You could also do the Nordic Gods (Aeiser monsters) or the Earthbound Immortals from 5Ds, pretty sure no one plays them competitively IRL.
Why not do the Nordic gods not next? It’s a full archetype and has enough support to be a full deck?
Maurice Pete was already done by rank10 lol
MeisterMyn and the Earthbound Immortals are more interesting.
Nordics should just be able to do their own thing and not need to follow the same 3 god gimmick as what came before. If they're going to be given legacy support, they first need to be rebooted, because the original cards are either powercrept or unfixable gimmicky nonsense at this point
As a returning player, can you please make a video about the difference in card rarity and what different rarities look like?
Nobody:
Absolutely no one:
UA-cam recommendation: ay you tryna learn about yugioh for absolutely no reason?
One card you forgot about, Dzeef, although it's basically as mediocre as Ra's Disciple... worse, since it requires playing multiple different Sacred Beasts in your deck, and is only useful to Worst Beast Raviel. (Well, i suppose you could use it to generate tribute fodder for Dark Summoning Beast, but unless you topdeck it with Fallen Paradise's draw...)
Phantasmal Martyrs:
Activate only while you have 2 or more cards in your hand, and control a face-up "Uria, Lord of Searing Flames" or "Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder". Send your entire hand to the Graveyard to Special Summon 3 "Phantasmal Martyr Tokens" (Fiend-Type/DARK/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0) in Attack Position.
they are the “sacred feast”
- Oreo (uria)
-Ravioli (raviel)
-Ham(hamon)
are you watching that Cvit video?
Uria used to be immune to bottomless trap hole back when u played it. When I used to summon it you can call priority on its effect when its summon. Since they cant respond to it the effect resolves and now uria has been successfully summoned.
That rule doesn't exist anymore
In my opinion, SOMETIMES, the Sacred Beasts are better than the Egyptian Gods, permitting that you have meaningless traps to sacrifice to summon Uria, and meaningless spells to sacrifice to summon Hamon, for example. Truthfully, I like to duel with my deck that's not unfairly OP'd, because I like strategy with monsters that normally wouldn't be good to use in battle.
John B aka Smooth Chocolate I mean, you can just play true kings instead and you'll probably win every once in a while.
The Four Star Gamer My favorite cards are Arcana Knight Joker XYZ Dragon Cannon, Draco Equiste, which are all fusion monsters. Oh I duel with my Yugioh cards, I just like to strategize with cards most people wouldn't use sometimes.
Just molly whomp some dudes using spirit ryu in a dragon deck, get some backup to destroy defense cards and discard 5 dragons from your hand and boom 6k glass cannon on a 3☆ monster,
nobody ever expects the dark horse known as spirit ryu
OXOTNHK aka D3ath Patr0l I can even use dragon ravine and dragon shrine too
John B aka Smooth Chocolate I would destroy you in yu gi oh
Closest thing egyptian gods have to fallen paradise is mound of the bound creator
Which sucks and doesn't help them at all. Fallen paradise at least has a pot of greed effect.
2018: Meh they sacred beasts aren’t too good *2020 has enter the chat*
and they still aren't too good.
@@NickersonGeneral support amazing the cards themselves aren’t so much
The support made the sacred beasts much better, still not enough though
The most fun I had was with Uria was back in Infernity format. Infernity couldn't do anything vs any combo of skill drain/grave of the super ancient organism/metal reflect slime. Each Infernity players frustration was priceless as they all they could do was wait until finally you spring your cold wave summon Uria and attack their archfiend they always summoned in attack mode because they never wanted to set/discard it for game.
Raviel summons tokens ... mmm
Raviel 2018 link spam deck? lol
Uria could have been much better if they kept its effect from the anime, which went like this:
"This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by its own effect or by sending 3 Trap Cards you control to the Graveyard. This card gains 1000 ATK and DEF for each Trap Card in your Graveyard. Once per turn, you can select 1 face-down Spell or Trap Card your opponent controls, and destroy it. Spell and Trap Cards cannot be activated in response to this effect's activation. If this card is destroyed, during your next Main Phase, you can discard 1 Trap Card to Special Summon this card from your Graveyard. During the turn you Special Summoned this card by its effect, you cannot activate its other effects, and if you control another monster, this card cannot declare an attack."
Alex Young well that would make Uria op urias anime effect has the ability or break an entire deck since you have to continuously spend resources in this case your trap cards and unless you run an entire deck full of traps your opponent could just remove uria from play basically now if you can’t use any of those traps you previously had you just wasted your deck and another reason uria would be overpowered would be because of you play duel links some players every once in a while use specific cards only like this one specific kind of deck to run uria and while you might argue that if your dedicating an entire deck full of nothing but traps effectively helps you support the card or helps you effectively protect it with the other traps you have this might be true but it can also simply be used as a trap bait deck in a nutshell forcing you to use a spell or trap so they can get rid of certain threat then reveal their real strategy and another disadvantage would be if your opponent used a card that removed other cards from play this drastically reduces its overall attack points as well as putting you at a major disadvantage in the anime jaden when facing kagemaru had to remove cards in his graveyard basically he had no backup plan while urias anime effect definitely won’t be a bad thing it will make the card overpowered especially if you are that one guy who’s willling to buy pack after pack after pack just to be able to support a specific card but the card would be op in real life it’s anime effect best stay that way cause In real life your opponent would be at a disadvantage while you have an unfair advantage
hamon could work in a crystal beast deck
Sadly there isn't enough space to put him in
Actually this has been done before. He makes for a much better boss monster than Rainbow Dragon.

Pascal Simioli cool
Or you could use your Cystal Beasts to make Saryuja instead.
I would really like to see if there's a way to work Raviel into Lair of Darkness, since his effect could potentially remove an opponent's monster and give you a big attacker. Also, summoning him can produce some lair tokens and possibly bring out a diabolos, regaining a bit of lost card economy. The trick would be to find a way to get three fiends out easily, which is much easier said than done.
bakura is hot af
More like basura. Johnny Steps best waifu.
I used to play a dark necrofear deck and Raviel was a nice boss card to have, but it was still pretty hard to summon. I ended up replacing him with a 4000 atkdef big fiend dude whose name I can't remember but was much much easier to summon.

Actually, Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder is named after an angel in judeo-christianity of the same name, while Hamon AKA Ripple in JoJo's Bizzarre Adventure is named after the japanese swordsmithing technique of the same name, denoting the wavy pattern created during the hardening process present on a sword's cutting edge.
The Egyptian Gods at home.
pronounce it like kenshiros gf; yuria
...what?
+dzeeff I think they meant the pronunciation of Uria
everybody: hammon,uria,raviel
me: ham,ravioli, uria of sweet candy
Im from the future. sacred beasts will get a structure deck
Me: *Watches a video about how the Sacred Beasts are absolute trash*
Also Me, an absolute mad man: *Splashes them into my D/D/D Deck*
Also Me in July 2020: "Did Konami watch this video and say *We'll show him to call these discount Egyptian God cards bad!* ?"
The sequels nobody asked for
if they only had their anime effects, they would be played by more people
i mean uria for example, you need 3 continuous traps, in the anime you only need 3 traps for atk no matter what kind of trap, and you could bring him back from the GY with discard 1 trap, so hes back with even more power, and to be honest, i maybe have some understanding (like 2%) why they decided to bring out the gods without their anime effects, but the sacred beasts? they are not immune to effects/traps/spells so there is no reason why they couldnt bring out the anime version
"They are better"... No continuation of the original 1997 series will ever be better.I should know.I've been an Anime based Duelist for 15 years now.
the Egyptian monsters received several card support not only Ra's Disciple but also (Mound of the Bound Creator ) which protects the Egyptian cards against card effects and prevent them from being destroyed , inflict 1000 Damage for each monster destroyed by an Egyptian card and if this Zone card is destroyed add 1 Egyptian card from your deck to your hand
The True name can be used to search the deck for Egyptian cards directly
Card Advance combined with The True Name and Ra's Disciple can be used to tribute summon an Egyptian card in one turn
I don't think you've studied the Egyptian cards very well
Yeah all those cards sadly haven't helped the god cards be competitive, and that's what this channel is about
At least they see play on ygopro xd
