This is literally me right now watching glad deck profiles. I stopped playing a little after xyz came out. Well before pendulums. And if you ran Andal you got laughed at.
Yeah that was me in 2021 lol I was also so excited to hear the deck got legacy support only to be immediately disappointed to find out that ash blossom exists....
>"Why is the Roman archetype using a Greek thing!?" Because that is the most Roman thing to do: take things from other cultures and say they made it and its better now that they made it.
The Sonicfox name-drop was so unexpected I rewinded to make sure I heard you right 😂. As a FG player who recently got back into Yu-Gi-Oh and Gladiator Beast being my first deck I created... It's kind of creepy.
I was about 13yo when they came out. The mechanics seemed pretty cool, so I tried them at my locals without much thought. It was the first time I ever got first place there. Love them from the bottom of my heart.
I was 11 and all I remember was older kids getting sad that a kid knew how waboku worked in the battle phase. Them and grave keepers always been my fav especially being budget and underrated at first
I wish the gladiator beasts got their anime support. Like Gladiator Beast's Medallion, virtus, Medusa shield and test fusion. I wish Alexander gets a fusion.
Fun tips with Darius, or some people may know already but, anyway--if Darius is tagged out, you can chain Book of Moon and flip Darius into face-down, so any GB Darius ressurect will have it's effect not negated! Also, did you know that a face-down GB can still perform a Tag Fusion? Second tips, anyone? If you tag both Sagitarii and Equeste out in a correct order, you just made Pot of Greed out of them! Third! If you can make Andabate, you might just destroyed 4 cards, along with Editor and Gyzarus on your field as well! Figure it out yourself! Fourth, I guess? Spartacus or Hoplomus might be a good reason if you are too afraid of having Gladiator Beast Comeback or Rejection become dead cards! But I would recommend Retiari or Murmello instead!
It was awesome to see you do it’s archetype I had fond memories using it’s in duel links I had to step up my game in it and what I can do with vendreads but many great strategies like if I could get rejection test tiger or a unexpected dai in hand I could make a easy 3 material glad beast they were a fun deck
imagine if we got a new boss monster that has a quick effect to make all your GB monsters immune to effects except during the battle phase, and also has a continuous effect that, each time you return a beast from the field to the deck, you immediately shuffle one of your opponent's cards back to the deck? Maybe also add a restriction that it requires you only have GB monsters for it to proc? What do you think?
Wish you mentioned the "Gladiator Beasts" friend & enemy "Which Doctor of Sparta" who effect does 500 damage ANY time a monster is summoned from the deck(was make basically just for the GB as it was same set) the enemy seems to be D.D warrior lady in a new guess GB HUNTER which stops any cards from the field returning to the deck
i loved using gladiator beasts in the games because no character used them in the show so it was a great "original" deck but i was always sad it took so long for them to appear in the anime.
Just recently got back into yugioh and after essentially splitting my old deck up into material for 3 new decks, I stumbled across the Gladiator Beasts and fell in love with them. I ended up building a deck using Gladiator Beasts as the primary force with Harpies and Amazoness cards functioning as supports, allowing for some pretty fun plays and outright shenanigans throughout most of my duels.
Definitely agree on what you said about the playstyle shifting. I kinda miss the days when it took more planning and dedication to get out a given fusion. Now the game plan (at least how I've typically done it) is to tag into Augustus, summon Tamer Editor and pump out fusions every turn that way.
@@GoldenNovaYugioh I think definitely will! GB seems like something that’s right up my alley Would you consider making a video on the Six Samurai archetype?
Glad players talking to a base player: you and you’re Frankenstein abomination should be aware **draws sword** I HONE MY SKILLS IN THE PITS OF DARK ARM
Trojan gladiator beast has been useful twice, first when burning abyss came out, and second during eternal format against sky striker. Basically only good against the most xenophobic of decks.
@@AggroSZN oh yeah, with the right cards, you can have 3-4 Glad fusions, Tamer as one of them, and a link monster, not Test Panther, and that's in the Main Phase 1
I love how Dragases could have been just as well a fusion, but Master Rule 4 is a bitch, so its a link, but really its a fusion Also ive grown to like Respite, since it can unbrick hands like Augustus, Noxious, Noxious, Laquari, respite, to name one example
you were wrong there with tygerius. The "this card cannot be used as a fusion material" means that it can't be used as a material for a fusion spacial summoned by an effect that do fusion summon -any fusion/polymeryzation card or effect that say "this special summon is treated as fusion summon"-, contact fusion (special summon fusion monsters from extra deck without the use of polymerization or any similar card) is a build-in special summon which is not treaded as fusion summon.
For whatever it's worth, when I've tried this in yugioh legacy of the duelist link evolution, it doesn't not allow for contact fusion either. So, unless the game is incorrectly programmed it also bars contact fusion. As a side note, in a deck that's predominantly about contact fusion and not being a super great target for a fusion outside its archetype means it doesn't make much sense for Konami to specify this unless they also meant contact fusion. But I could be wrong /shrug
To answer the Trojan /Greek stuff in the Roman archetype THEY ARE GLADIATORS Gladiators very very often reenacted legendary battles of both history and myth (this at times even included props like battle ships and ramparts or other structures) Additionally in the common Roman belief Rome itself was founded by the descendants of Trojans Soo it actually makes perfect sense all things considered
And depending were in Greece you were gladiator battles where also thing.....it's nothing new as you can count the knight battles at Renaissance fairs basically the same just with Knights
despite how bad of an idea it is, I'm surprised you didn't mention the idea of using Trojan Gladiator Beast alongside Gladiator Taming. It's the only in-archetype way to use the second effect of Taming in a non-mirror matchup.
Yeah this got me back intonyu gi oh in 09 and it became my go to deck in all the tagforce games. Edit: gladiators really stuck with me since my next main was firefist 3/4 combo. Hehehe
Hello I just want to ask about the mechanics of the card effects. For example I attacked my opponent's monster and the attack point is higher than my glad beast can the shuffling back to the deck effect still trigger. My card won't be destroyed?
Attorix in hand → tag in augustus with someone → summon attorix → send fusion material to grave → can contact fusion with augustus and attorix impersonating someone
Best way to use Gb Trodgen is with Gb tamer Pop it at start you turn or end of theirs put weaker Gb from you had to their feild gain a card Then as along you have one on the feild gb or play one . Use tamer to bring the card back to your side Then you got test panther or other uses :3
No comments on how E Hero Prisma was used as a GB card being tagged back into the deck. In my area from locals to regionals the judges would allow a E Hero Prisma who dropped Beastiari with effect, after attacking to tag back into the deck to grab another GB. I would have them read the card, explain that it doesn't get effect, the judges all said "well it's named as a GB RN so i'll allow it"
Don’t you shuffle your deck after every tag out making defense tactics move around after it gets put on bottom of the deck making it much more viable to redraw. Though still not likely. And Trojan horse trap could be paired with the spell that lets you take control of gladiator beast from your opponent letting you take it back. Very niche combo but possible. Lastly I feel which doctor of Sparta should be included in the archetype as an auxiliary or support card since it works well with the constant summoning from the deck.
I'm just getting back to this but only in master duel. I'm considering this as a good get back into the game deck but I don't want all the extra stuff I'm seeing ppl use atm, tri-brigade and zoodiack I think. Any advice?
Going 2nd blowout cards can really help! Harpies, LS, droplet/chalice, raigeki, DRNM (if you're going for a herak/domit board). Depending on the matchup you usually have enough baits to get to your end board.
The very first Archetype I played in yugioh. It's a fun deck to use, but too bad the game is in a state where their playstyle isn't good anymore. I still love them though, and it brings me great pleasure to crush an enemy in Master duel using these brawlers. Ours is The Fury, I say!
Hopefully someone can answer this question: Gladiator Beast Spartacus can only be Sp Summoned by Homopolus. But if Spartacus is in my GY, can I revive it with Call of the Haunted?
Man, this is such a cool deck, but I'm sad to say I really missed when they were playable, so at least I've never had to experience the mirror? That said, has any archetype aged worse that glad beasts? I wanted to try them with tri-brigade but it got to a point where the best hands were just playing pure tri+brigade anyways... Maybe some kind of magical support could make them good again, but I just can't imagine it wouldn't squash the thing that makes them unique to do it.
I made a deck the other day on Master Duel. They can can get to plat pretty easy. Wind Barrier Statue and Simorgh Bird of Sovereignty does wonders for the deck without Tri-Brigade.
@@bigpolk4219 that's kinda what I mean though. You hit plat but you got there by using this unique contact fusion battle focused archetype to make a powerful link from a totally seperate archetype to floodgate your opponent out of the game.
Why is the Roman archetype using a Greek thing? You do realize that the Romans literally copied just about everything from the Greeks as their base right?

FINALLY!!!! The glory of the gladiator beasts is being immortalized by golden nova. This is my favorite archetype in the game!
All these years and I’ve never realized Sagittari is a winged-beast monster! I think my brain was trying to block it out.
One of the most interesting battle centered archetypes ever printed being covered by one of my favorite creators? This is going to be good!

Very nice :)

If I had a nickel for everytime how Trojan Gladiator Beast was useful, I would have 2. It not a lot but its weird it happened twice
Glad Beast my favorite archetype !
Ancient Forrest is a fun card with this deck too since you can tag out before the effect works but it’s only for casual fun
Beast Tamer Editor is broken… He’s not once per turn… He’s really broken
It's a soft once per turn, u can send him to the grave or back to the extra deck and resummon him and he gets his effect.
@@AggroSZN oh yeah, with the right cards, you can have 3-4 Glad fusions, Tamer as one of them, and a link monster, not Test Panther, and that's in the Main Phase 1
