Fun fact: While Apoqliphort Towers was the competitive monster that coined the term "Towers," the first one in the game the unaffected clause was actually Vennominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes. Had she been a little better (in terms of being summonable), we might have wound up calling these monsters "Deities" instead.
@@lisaruhm6681 would've been better if it was not tributable.. I don't think there's anything targeted that affects immunes is there? But for all the difficulty in getting her out she can just be kaiju'd.. kind of like arrival cyberse.

well this can work under floodgate, so it has one reason why it could defeat some opp also it has several way to gain hand advantage plus some control by tributing card making it even looks stronger for some player
This reminds me of when I beat The Arrival with Towers because I misplayed, and my opponent responded to my misplay. The OG Towers beating the new Towers was just really satisfying.
I can't stress enough how much of a nightmare qliphorts were during the prime time of pendulum with og pendulum rules. It was my main nemesis and also my PTSD. Even to this day, it irks me whenever I see the words "Qli" or "Towers". Yang zings were second.
@@AeonAxisProductions nekroz was still building up to me at the time and I did use some of its cards in a funny herald of ultimateness deck I used to run back in the day so yeah I did run some annoying stuff But the moment I got paired with a Qli deck in locals, I shut up real quick lol.
I think the main Problem why Qli is prob more in Peoples Brain is probably because they could abuse Floodgates way more then something like Shaddoll/ Nekroz, i mean back in 2014/15, Qli could Pendel for like 3-4 and in your Turn they would just say "Have fun playing, while i have Vanitys Emptiness and Skill drain, gg ez" and i mean even today Qli is prob still one of the best abuser of Skill drain, since most of there Effects go off on the Extra Deck and not on the Field.
Qliphort did not age as well as the other 2014 archetypes, but it’s still quite a fun deck. A funny fact: Qli works surprisingly well with the Monarch Spell/Trap support because each Pendulum Qli Monster has Monarch Stats
@@Dz73zxxx Well, all Qlis are Earth, so Bystials shouldn’t be an issue for them at all. Links is honestly what gives Qli the most issues. That and the fact they’re not the best users of the extra deck (not that they particularly need it other than having arrows for pendulum summoning)
If tower immune to Link 2 and below or something it could have been something. Also most of generic boss monsters can out Tower easily with their superior attack. The deck needs way more buff as a whole to stay in the meta. Right now the best way to play Qli deck is to Limit Removal it for OTK instead of using Tower
@@FilipSlim There are most likely many better Qli decks, but I like mine.

Towers being the localized name is funny because i dont think its better in the context OF THE CARD but it makes way more sense to call an immovable extremely protected boss monster a TOWER.
Back when I played Qli in Triangle format (Shaddoll > BA > Qli > Shaddoll), one thing that REALLY annoyed me is that the summon restrictions stopped me summoning to the opponent's field too. This means no Flying "C" or Ojama Trio to fuck with them
This deck has bittersweet memories for me. It's the deck I used in my last ycs befire quitting, Milan 2014. I had fun, reached day 2 but unfortunately got wrecked by shaddoll artifacts too many times. Back then pendulum was on declaration, so if they mst'd one of your scales, you burnt your one pendulum summon. Also, I was on towers, and back then nobody was using it. It made the mirror match a cakewalk. What WASN'T fun and made me quit the game, was having a disk getting stolen from me, when they were 60+ $.
I also played Qliphort on Duel Links right now. The best part is, not many players know about how Qliphort monsters are unaffected by other monster effects depending on their level. The worst part is, they brick.
Ayo qli player here too, rejoice the OG towers Still hoping some sort of cont. Spell or field spell that treats 1 link arrow = lvl 2 monster for shithousing
My favorite thing is when I activate any danger effect from hand get ash'd then just reactivate the effect cause ash just doesn't work against the in hand effect
1:50 Wrong, I know this archetype off of the back of my hand when I say this, but every Qliphort monster is unaffected by monsters effects whos level or rank is 1 below the level of the Qliphort monster in play. I.e., your Helix at this point is unaffected by Rank and Level 3 or below monsters effects.
I was playing tellars when this deck was at its peak it would seem. Over half of locals was playing this or BA. My friend was playing shaddolls, needless to say we didn't win much but it was fun
I remember when ocg put saqlifice to three (they only limited saqlifice, semi'd scout and never hit towers and it wasn't viable after a while smile having the out will do that) Shit sucked orbs
I was wondering if you could possibly do a deck structured around Kaiser Glider/ Kaiser Glider-Golden Burst? It's my favorite monster and I don't think he gets enough love.
My favourite Pendulum archetype. Unfortunately MR4 really messed it up real bad, and MR5 doesn't really do much for the deck anyway. I hope Konami makes good support for them.
This deck made me quit Yu-Gi-Oh, i went from playing Shaddoll to a weird phase where I brought Fabled at locals for 6 months than just gave up on the game to play Force of Will xd

It honestly sounds better than towers
Vennominaga is not only unnaffected by other cards, but also untargetable.

Farfa playing a 2014 deck that isn’t Burning Abyss? I think I just stumbled into the wrong timeline
He transformed BA into dust
@@nicolasturetta7959 and then immediately re crafted the whole thing
He does this all the time
Bizarro Farfa
Probably the timeline where the channel's name is, let's say, helix instead of farfa
The funniest part, to me, is that he beat the same Beetrooper player twice in one video.
surprised they didn't think to just insta-surrender. lmao
I am honestly shocked at how good this looked. Obviously the opponents were kind of.... bad. But still what the heck
well if master rule 3 was back qlihorts will actually be better in master duel especially with how great it works with floodgates
Wdym? Beetroopers can search Maxx "C", the deck is broken
It's a slow deck for today's standards but the cards are still pretty good
There was a reason master rule 4/5 and kaijuus were invented. Towers was such an asshole.
well this can work under floodgate, so it has one reason why it could defeat some opp
also it has several way to gain hand advantage plus some control by tributing card making it even looks stronger for some player
This reminds me of when I beat The Arrival with Towers because I misplayed, and my opponent responded to my misplay. The OG Towers beating the new Towers was just really satisfying.
It can actually beat all of them in a 1v1 if he active his effect and op has no monsters in hand as it effects the player.
i loved it when he said it was towering time, and towered all over everyone
Specially in the timeline where he said it is killering time and killered all over everyone
@@yubarta1 what could have been
Has to be one of the duel of all time
But Farfa's short
I love it when Farfa is towering over me 😩
Don't know if you noticed that, but you faced literally the same Beetrooper duelist - Draon. Which is funny, by the way.
He would never beat my insect deck lmfao

Wait which luna is unaffected unless your talking about a none luna monster.
I literally did that rn lmao the guy tried to destroy it like 3 times
They targeted their own monster because towers is tributed summoned so they can't target it with lost wind
Towers being the localized name is funny because i dont think its better in the context OF THE CARD but it makes way more sense to call an immovable extremely protected boss monster a TOWER.
I mean, lorewise, it's a spaceship that act as a command center, so kinda make sense to call it a "tower"
All memes aside, as a qliphort player, seeing big yugitubers playing it Towers my soul full of pride
Qliphort makes me very happy but it's so hard to play nowadays when any link with removal beats towers :(
It's one of my favorite archetypes too
That's why you have Skill Drain and Lose 1 Turn. Link with removal won't help then
Same here, qli is one of my favourite decks

Also the diddy kong racing OST bops hard
My favourite deck, playing it since 1984
Crushcards deserves an award for this one. Had me rolling 🤣
@crushcards - Best video editing team around! Thanks for bringing happiness 😁
Man Towers is such cool boss monster
Oh my gawd trampolynx! On the upside never seen this deck in action, kinda neat.
Lost Wind cannot target your Tower because the Wind can only target special summoned monster, while Tower is normal/tribute summon.
Towers wasn't the og towers vennominaga the deity of Poisonous snakes was. And she doesn't lose to nih
As someone that plays Qli unironically. This pleases me
Now we need a Qli link monster that makes other Qli's it points to unaffected by the effects of Link monsters...maybe some level modulation
Ayo qli player here too, rejoice the OG towers
Still hoping some sort of cont. Spell or field spell that treats 1 link arrow = lvl 2 monster for shithousing

Qli was and is my fav deck of all time. My build is better it is the second deck I made in master duel. Its also very budget friendly.
when you pay 800 to pay 800 to pay 800 to pay 800 to pay 800 to pay 800 to pay 800 to set 4 pass
i felt that frfr
Towers really seem a tower
I’m starting to recognize crushcards edit style.

7:49 Lost wind only works on special summoned monsters. Towers was normal summoned
This felt like whne i beated people using toons and they dont understand why they couldnt destroy them or why i was attacking directly
The first guy was probably born when towers came out. Also that same guy appeared twice lol
As a modern-day MD Qli enjoyer this video brings a smile to my face.
The good old days when you had to use star eater to out the towers. Lava golem was a thing too though.
Amazing editor

The answer is no, you cannot destroy the master duel meta with this deck.
I was wondering if you could possibly do a deck structured around Kaiser Glider/ Kaiser Glider-Golden Burst?
It's my favorite monster and I don't think he gets enough love.
i often play Qli and yes people never read towers for some reason which leads to easy wins.

This beast needs a retrain, now
The only chsmge needed is the additin of link rating to the unaffected but
Great and relevant meta decks such as Beetroopers and Paleozoics
So who’s going to tell him that Dwayne Dwayne Dwayne is actually a level 11?
Is that music during the outro from Diddy Kong racing?!?
I'm just amazed that I witnessed a pen 5 in 2023 even if farfa may be a bit illiterate xD
Disappointing he is not using the monolith pet aka fridge

I remember hating Qliphort so much at the time.
I want to go back.
how does he find those opponents for me ranked is currently ishizu and spright variant symulator
The issue here is that the opponents were not playing too serious
I need this decklist so I can bring tower's back to terrorise my friends who only came into yugioh during links 🤣
As an Insect player, that first guy was playing horribly wrong. He didn't even run scary moth ._.
The thing is if you summoned five times Nibiru would be able to stop towers.
Who would win? A 3 tribute monster or a unicorn made of piss?
