If I had to iterate it with hindsight, I would probably remove Psy-Framelord Omega and replace him with any level 8 fiend synchro monster (the new Grozer the Thunderclap Tyrant sounds like a good one). This is mainly because in a pinch you can send it with Dogmatika Punishment and recycle a Dark Spirit! I've been having a lot of fun with this build so I'm eager to hear your thoughts and any personal touches you might add!
It works especially well with Emperor. The only issue is running Zoa since it's not the most ideal card, but can definitely see some funny interactions with Lair of Darkness!
I've been playing archfiends for a couple of years , and probably the best addition I've made would be 'supply squad' at 3 copies. The soft once per turn on its activation means that you can end up turning the destruction of a twin, cavalry or empress into a plus 3 in card advantage. The fact that its a continuous spell means that its easy to make up for the cost turn 1, which is a bit busted.
Yeah I used to run Supply Squad in an old Archfiend build back when Demise was at 3. It's a great card on paper, but I stopped using it as I felt like I needed to open multiple copies just to get any use I've noticed that Dual Avatars use Supply Squad to some success. I may need to revisit it as it's definitely a good tech
Zoa is one of those classic cards that's just really cool to run! Even though it's a tad expensive for what it is Chupacabra is cool since he's a fiend, can work well with Call of the Archfiend for example
I used this deck as a base to make my own archfiend deck, with mine i add an extra empress, and use 3 copies of hand destruction to avoid bricks and use fiendish chain to halt the opponents plays
You know, I've recently thought about using a second copy of Empress. If she gets banished it can really screw you over. She's very annoying to draw because she's essentially a dead draw on her own. Particularly top decking her! But I can see the benefits of running 2, or even 3 if paired with Trade-Ins or something similar. Hand Destruction is very interesting! I'll have to give it a go myself!
I really like the theory of your deck. I will probably try to use some of the cards in a Destiny Board deck 😁 (for example the void card, the Emperor and call of the Archfiend)
Hey, thanks! Glad you like it Void Apocalypse is a great card, it's only down side is top decking it with no other cards in the hand... Call of the Archfiend is good too, especially since you can search it Let me know how it goes with your deck!
Accidentally disliked this while trying to click on something else on the taskbar. This is one of my favorite builds of yours! Curse Necrofear is one of my favorite cards, such a sick design and effect. I love trying to build decks around her.
RIP, ha! That's great that you're getting some use out of it! Curse Necrofear is indeed very cool, and really strong! Definitely catches people off guard
im kinda new to this chanel but i really like archfiends, could u make a tutorial to play them cause i have seen the duels u post but its hard for me to follow u and ur thoughts about what u are doing btw im a darklord player, so id like to try this formula even if i dont win :D
Sounds like a good idea! Yeah I'll get around to making an Archfiend guide or how to series to address all the plays. Darklords are awesome! Have you seen that "First Darklord" fusion monster? The artwork and theme is really interesting
As a fellow archfiend enthusiast myself who floats on the gimmick/casual side, I've been really digging cards like Annihilator Archfiend; can be searched by heiress, SS'd by Stygian, Cavalry and Giant, pops your own archfiends (or itself) on the field for recursion effects or pandemonium procs (for emperor/ess, heiress etc). Some other stuff I've been trying out is mixing Unchained as an engine with a couple copies of some *True Kings*, which, while being unorthodox, does have some synergy with Archfiends; It procs Pandemonium when they're popped in hand, you can pop "Unchained Twins -Aruha" on the field and "Infernalqueen Archfiend" in the hand with pandemonium up to SS "True King Agnimazud the Vanisher", banish 1 card, then SS "Unchained Soul of Disaster" to then begin Link shenanigans, or Unchained Twins - Sarama in order to get extra fiends on the board, and if you have another true king in your grave like Calamities in the grave you can recycle it too. Archfiend of Gilfer has always been the Pandemonium Grinder of choice. Masterking Loops with "Broww, Hunstman of Dark World" for bricky free upstarts, Grapha for removal, along with "Dark Spirit Mastery" "Void Apocalypse" and "Meklord Assembly" discard costs, "s fun.
I really like Annihilator as well! I'd recommend two with three copies of World Legacy Monstrosity. Since you like playing True King cards, Monstrosity is live fairly often! Unchained cards are great too. I always feel like they have all the destruction support Archfiends dream of having, but splashing an engine into Archfiends works really well! Glad to see there are others who are interested in this archetype!
As a fellow archfiend enthusiast, i think you're bringing some real spice and things to definitely look into. I think i prefer a deck focused on 1 card Masterking combos and try to establish the grave and combo off. Following that, back it up with the floodgates to really make your opponent's life difficult. I hope for proper archfiend support in the future instead of the random 1 off cards that don't necessarily mesh like we've been getting recently.
Thanks! Masterking is very fun to use, and I like that he's a retrain of Terrorking. I wonder if we'll get more chess related Archfiends in the future. I think that'd be awesome. Either a Pandemonium retrain or more support around that field spell. And yes, we do need more than Staff of Despair, but I'm hopeful for what the future brings!
@@TheArchfiendGuy I think building support around pandemonium is probably the best way for the deck going forward. At least I hope so, I still have my playset of ulti generals lmao
It would pretty cool we got a Summoned Skull retrain (the kind where it's treated as Summoned Skull/Archfiend card in the deck, hand, and gy) w/an Archfiend structure deck. I mean one look at your profile and it just screams for additional support. Or maybe make La Jinn an archetype lol. It happened to Thunder Dragon so anything is possible haha. Gonna shamelessly netdeck the crap out of this. ;D Good stuff my dude.
Yeah definitely! Konami always releases support, just not the support we always expect! I was actually thinking about what an Archfiend structure deck might look like... Would be cool if they added a completely new Archfiend boss monster as the deck's mascot! Netdeck away! I've come up with another deck that I'm going to showcase soon so stay tuned for that!
Thank you! And yeah the Danger cards are pretty cool. Chupacabra is great as an extra fiend but will only really work if we play a more dedicated Danger engine. So for now Mothman works okay!
There is a level 8 that is dark and it looks like it has sun light in the background 3000 atk forgetting the name but it can resummon itself from the grave
BOOM! Although this one is a bit expensive to build in real life :c But the UK has a lockdown now anyway so I won't be making a irl build anytime soon XD I really want to though
I wish we could! At least then it'd have more synergy. The only issue with Beast of Talwar is that it's level 6, and Successor Soul only summons level 7 or higher. I wish it affected level 6 because then it'd make Summoned Skull a million times more viable in the Archfiend strategy
I got into archfiends solely because of archfiend soldier lol any way I can add that card to this deck, or maybe just add it to the Side deck. My friends told me its used mostly for a beatstick so I'm just curious.
Archfiend Soldier used to be a fantastic beatstick during goat format. Soldier is still useful if you use cards like Unexpected Dai and Charge into a Dark World. Unexpected Dai let's you summon him to link into Link Spider which can get you Verte Anaconda and then Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon. If you have Archfiend Palabyrinth, you can SS him with Unexpected Dai, normal summon Archfiend Emperor, then banish Soldier for an Archfiend Empress. So he has his uses!
Successor Soul was more of a tech than anything so don't worry too much about that. Zoa is a bit too expensive for what it is anyway Void Apocalypse is pretty good! But the discard can sometimes be steep, especially if they Ash it
Quite an interesting variant for sure, skill drain is such a good card for Archfiends but my friends hate it so wanted to play a bit more of an interactive version. Curse Necrofear I have also been playing (also circumnavigates skill drain with its 2nd destruction effect which is sweet), but been having really fun duels incorporating the evil heroes into the archfiend engine. Gotta wait for Legendary Heroes Season 3 before i see em in person though cause they are expensive as hell!
I've not tried the Evil Heroes myself but I can see how they'd synergise nicely with Archfiends. What's the goto strategy? Skill Drain really is awesome for Archfiends and I can just imagine what it feels like to run three in the OCG. I suppose you could play some Solemn cards if you still wanted protection but not have a continuous floodgate?
The point of Curse Necrofear is to revive more often and destroy stuff so there's not really an alternative, but Abominable Unchained Soul would be the closest since he can revive himself once and also pops a card when he's summoned
I'd love to see new Archfiend monsters get released, definitely. In this deck, we rely on Emperor and Empress hitting the field, so all the Dark Spirits etc are just there to help make that happen. I suppose both Curse and Abominable are level 8 choices that could easily be swapped out for any other level 8. Imprisoned Queen for example could go in here and also get searched. Synergises with Roar too
@@TheArchfiendGuy this build is more based on curse necrofear. i´ve tried out a tourguide base buld with rhino warrior, doomdog and a single banishment Doom Shaman with gemini ablation is pretty good as well sine it can spam good. Thoughts about trol cards like dark neosphere and lavagolem
Curse Necrofear, while great, is still situational in this deck. You need face up spells/traps for the destruction effect to go off, which isn't super consistent I've found. We have a decent set of cards like Gozen etc to help the effect remain live, but if there's none or 2800 isn't enough then I just revive Emperor and spot remove that way. Tour Guide is a fantastic card and I'm glad it's at 3! Just have to make sure it doesn't get Ash Blossom'd (Successor Soul can help with that). Doom Shaman and Red-eyes Archfiend of Lightning are both decent picks! Lava Golem is still a solid card in my opinion. Its only issue is that it's a fire rather than a dark, but you can still search it out with Dark Spirit's Mastery and then tribute 2 monsters. Darkness Neosphere is fun and good for clutch plays or win more scenarios. Haven't playtested with it enough to really comment though!
I do use a small Unchained engine in the deck I made in August if you haven't seen that already. It's only a 4 card engine minus the extra deck monsters though And a gemini engine sounds like a plan! In the past I've used a gemini engine to help summon Archfiend Black Skull Dragon, so I want to show that off at some point!
Unfortunately I am not convinced of this deck and I think the magic and the extra deck are way too expensive for the real price. A short other topic for your Terror King deck, I would recommend Dark World Reinforcements.
Yeah some of the cards are really expensive. I for one am not buying Triple Tactics until it gets reprinted. Gozen works well though, especially against the new Myutant archetype and Prank Kids. For online though it's fine And yeah Dark World Reinforcements or Charge into a Dark World I think it's called would be great for Terrorking! Discard any fiend for setup and also SS him sounds good to me
I like Hate Buster but always feel like those sorts of traps are far too slow. My opponent would just spot remove everything before hitting the battle phase At least with the Dark Spirit monsters they activate from the safety of the hand
Hey Archfiend Guy! Just found your videos/channel recently when I finally decided to get into the game after a few years of not playing. Always been an Archfiend Guy myself lol, so I was glad to find your channel. I was wondering if you could make a build utilizing Berserk Dragon. I have currently a video showcasing Berserk Dragon OTK with Archfiends at work. It was something I came up with years ago while messing with the new cards myself. Please take a look if you want and tell me if you can modernize it even more to be able to stand a chance. Anyways thanks again and keep making them videos I am enjoying them. Here is the video btw, hope I can link this here: ua-cam.com/video/gGFeVuCxmO4/v-deo.html
Hey! I checked your video out. I love the fact that Deal with Dark Ruler is searchable and how easy it is to bring Berserk Dragon out through Archfiend Emperor. And also you can use that spell card as Emperor fodder which is nice. Berserk Dragon in general is pretty cool and I've tried using it here and there as an extra piece of firepower. I didn't even think about its synergy with Nightmare Archfiends, that was pretty cool to watch. In terms of modernising it, I'll need to delve into it more myself and get back to you!
@@TheArchfiendGuy Hey thanks a lot for the kind words. It would be really cool to make it work with the current meta game. A lot had changed and a lot of new cards. I messed around with your more recent deck profiles to implement him in the deck, but cannot figure out a consistent way to make it work. Hope you can come up with something. Thanks again for taking a look.
Yeah I agree, it would be cool if it could see some play in today's metagame. I think Berserk Dragon needs a deck built around it really. I've tried throwing him into standard Archfiend decks as a tech boss monster but it just feels like I should make better use of the space. But still, we just need to keep trying!
@@TheArchfiendGuy I agree that you do have to build your deck around Berserk Dragon, I actually been testing builds and Forbidden Droplet is actually really good since you get the sent effect while also halving the attacks of all your opponents monsters and preventing their effects and in doing so, you can use A Deal with Dark Ruler to summon Berserk Dragon and wiping out their monster zone. I will continue to test. However, one main issue I have with Nightmare Archfiends OTK part is when it gets destroyed, as I only run 1 because you can search it and running multiple gets cloggy. I am running Archfiend's Roar and Fiend Griefing for back row and also to dodge some back row destruction that can target Nightmare Archfiends. I would like to hear if you got any tips for that. I like to build it around the OTK because it's just fun to see people's reaction when it happens.
Forbidden Droplet can work really well, I agree. Although you'd have to send Emperor from the field rather than hand in order to proc Real with Dark Ruler. But you can also run monsters like Rhino Warrior and Toddler of Torment to get additional effects. It's just a bit frustrating to see how expensive Droplet is! Another great card that I've been teching lately is that fusion Trishula monster. If I happen to draw a dead hand, I can just dump a bunch of monsters to summon it, and then get their effects (e.g. Send Rhino Warrior, Scarm etc). Roar can be useful, especially during the battle phase for the extra damage (usually game winning). The OTK variant seems fun but I'm not convinced on the consistency of it without more playtesting. Another OTK type build is to run Archfiend Black Skull Dragon and burn them to death
If I had to iterate it with hindsight, I would probably remove Psy-Framelord Omega and replace him with any level 8 fiend synchro monster (the new Grozer the Thunderclap Tyrant sounds like a good one). This is mainly because in a pinch you can send it with Dogmatika Punishment and recycle a Dark Spirit!
I've been having a lot of fun with this build so I'm eager to hear your thoughts and any personal touches you might add!
The normal monster spell is a great tech card. I may have to use it in a lair of darkness build.
It works especially well with Emperor. The only issue is running Zoa since it's not the most ideal card, but can definitely see some funny interactions with Lair of Darkness!
Brooo thank you for putting the deck list in the description, saved me so much time 🙏🏻

Neat! Any deck that can use Zoa is good in my book. I went down a similar route with mothman but I have to run El Chupacabra with him.

Chupacabra is cool since he's a fiend, can work well with Call of the Archfiend for example

Same! I like that they always see continuous support, even if it's not in the direction I expect

I like to build it around the OTK because it's just fun to see people's reaction when it happens.
Forbidden Droplet can work really well, I agree. Although you'd have to send Emperor from the field rather than hand in order to proc Real with Dark Ruler. But you can also run monsters like Rhino Warrior and Toddler of Torment to get additional effects. It's just a bit frustrating to see how expensive Droplet is!
Another great card that I've been teching lately is that fusion Trishula monster. If I happen to draw a dead hand, I can just dump a bunch of monsters to summon it, and then get their effects (e.g. Send Rhino Warrior, Scarm etc).
Roar can be useful, especially during the battle phase for the extra damage (usually game winning).
The OTK variant seems fun but I'm not convinced on the consistency of it without more playtesting. Another OTK type build is to run Archfiend Black Skull Dragon and burn them to death
