Don’t forget that in the anime Grandpa Muto also had to switch the positions of the tokens twice to “turn” the Ancient Key that unlocked the Ancient Gate meaning that you had to not only keep them from being destroyed it also meant you had to take the 1000LP burn damage from the tokens not attacking for 1 turn 😂
General idea may be to flip the damage effects on the ancient rock stuff to "deal dmg to the opponent if you didn't attack" as a sort of idea that you aren't doing anything, but the millennia are passing and the ancient monsters are staying the same while the opponent is withering or something... Then again that may get obnoxious with the Runick package. If we're going with some sort of defensive/control/passive game plan then maybe make Ancient Dragon's new effect be something like "(Quick Effect): Once Per Turn destroy cards on your opponents field for every defense position monster on your field" add in some sorta protection effect or two and you've got a boss monster that's just hard removal that's hard to remove. Heck if you want to get real crazy maybe add in Time Wizard, Baby Dragon/Thousand Dragon retrains as well to create the "Things getting old" motif.
I was also thing. Wouldn’t it be cool to have this Deck’s Theme and Playstyle be around a ROCK/DRAGON Archetype? Where like Ancient Stones allow for these Dragons to appear from beyond the Ancient Gate? Heck, this could even be a ROCK/WRYM archetype that suggest that the stones hold the Spirits of Ancient Dragons, allowing for this deck to have some extra deck synergies outside its Archetype.
I think ancient gate was supposed to imply that you could special summon the ancient dragon from your deck if the other ancient cards were on the field but they never specifically said for some reason. If it was going to be a real card they could tack on some other effect as a activation condition discard cost or you need to have certain number of cards in your hand etc.
I always thought these cards were ass in the anime...and I still do, lmao. Way too bricky. The Duel itself, however, did show off Giant Trunade and Premature Burial being a great combo...which is part of why they're banned.
Allow Ancient Gate to add 1 "Ancient" card from your deck to your hand. Simple and effective, you just add the Key to your hand, summon the Tokens and sacrifice for the Dragon. Ancient Dragon could be viable with the extra effect of sacrificing one 'Ancient' monster on your field to turn all monsters on your opponents field to defence position. It becomes a field wipe and that is always nice.
I would love seeing White Night cards / archetype getting new support. Like what we saw in GX, Snow fairy, white night fortress, etc. We need to get an actual ice typed deck which is strong.
Now, let me cook! Ancient city: Og effect + ss 1 ancient giant from hand/deck/gy(hopt) + face down cards you controll can not be destroyed by card effects Giant: Og effect + opt during your main phase 1 you can change this card to face down def + if a card or effect would destroy "ancient city" while this card is face down on your side of the field(quick effect): change it to face up atk; negate the effect and destroy that card. Key: is fine as is Tome: Og effect + you can banish this card from your gy; add 1 "ancient" spell/trap from your deck to your hand Gate: you can change any number of "ancient" cards you control face down(hopt) Dragon: Og + when this card is summoned change all monsters on your opponents side to face down def + piercing + after this monster attacks; destroy all face down def monsters your opponent controlls + if a card or effect would be activated(quick effect): you can send 1 face down card you controll to the gy; negate the effect and destroy that card It could work as a rouge strat if it finds a good enough engine to benefit from key; or just slaped together with lab
I don’t know why, but this was one of my favorite episodes of the original series. The theming of this deck was cool, even if it wasn’t good, so I’m happy to see it get some coverage!
I can really appreciate it for being a one-off Deck that had more than just a theme. It at least had the semblance of an engine and a direction, albeit awful, 😅 but there was more depth to it than say the knight duelist from the same season 🤺
@@burblebineabbletv Agreed 100%! I think that’s part of the reason it stuck with me so much-the implication of being an engine beyond just a deck theme.
I mean honestly, if this was made onto a legitimate deck. I'd mix a Prime Material Dragon into it to reap the benefits of that self burn, then never proceed to touch the deck.
I could see the appeal of a card destroying all defense position monsters with how appealing lighting storm can be. Perhaps even just giving it the full effect of lightning storm as a quick effect except with defense instead of attack position monsters.
I really want to like the effect because I enjoy blanket "destroy all of this" type effects, but specifically with that, it comes up so few and far between that I have to be realistic and say that the card probably would've been cool in LOB format, if that... 😅
@@burblebineabbletv Well I do know, at least off of master duel, a fair number of people can like to put things in defense position instead of attack to avoid the lightning storm. But even then if it's a boss monster it'd likely need more than just being a reverse lightning storm on legs to be good.
I liked falon who dueled joey in the orichalcos saga his cards were armour he would attach to himself to duel with like some kind of mighty morphin duelist
I would have loved for this to get a printing in the way a lot of modern cards are. With similar but more powerful and synergistic effects and maybe some other cards from the duel as cards in the archetype like the wandering mummies he used, or even the ordeal of a traveler card he used against Joey in the duel. Really I wish this archetype was given some love by being printed since it's part of my favorite duel in the OG series. And the other two big decks of this arc in the show have had their own printings namely Valkyries and Fairy Tails.
That's what I'm saying! The fact that the fairy tale cards got printed and these didn't is baffling. I get that the fairy tale cards were more than likely more a fan favorite/demanded, but with Grandpa being such an integral character in the protagonist gang, I can't fathom why the Ancient Deck wasn't printed alongside the fairy tale cards.
I would really like Konami to make this deck in Real life , im a Big fan OF dragons and the ancient dragon is si classy , the mix of European dragon and Asian dragon in the design is really the card exclusive to the anime that I would most like to be printed . On this you gain a subscriber and good luck on UA-cam from a French fan of YU-GI-OH.
Best I figure? They can keep the effects they have but they should have some added effects as well, like maybe ancient giant gets some backrow protection, maybe the tokens give monster protection while in play, maybe the gate gives your dragon protection, maybe the book lets you discard to add one of the ancient pieces to your hand if you choose not to just draw, and maybe the dragon gets to banish anything it destroys by battle or with it's effect? I'm not great at coming up with card effects, so this is off the top of my head.
This is a great video series concept. Would absolutely love more like it. +1 sub; you make really good content (esp for the sub count). Anticipating big things for you friend :)
Honestly, I'm not sure if it's because the anime came so long ago or that the original manga reached its 20th anniversary in 2016, but the last decade looks like they tried to prioritize cards from the manga, Eye of Illusion design screams manga desing (but I don't know if they took it from it), I believe they made a Jinzo monster of a different level to 6 because in the manga it wasn't 6. They made "Infinite Forbidden" and the comercial was voice by Yugi's grandpa VA I believe instead of printing the anime exclusive cards. That kinda lowers the chances of them printing decks like Armor or Ancient Dragon that didn't came from the manga
To be more specific on Ancient Tome, it specifically switched a card in your hand with the top card of your deck instead of any card in your deck. So basically, a worse Card Trader
In all honesty....i think this deck has potential, if this archtype was expanded and retrained i think it could actually be pretty fun. The initially idea in my head is they could make this arctype kind of like the millennium arctype in how it was like the cards Grandpa Moto's ancestor (forgot his name) would've used. An idea i thought of for an ancient dragon retrain was something like it has effects simmiler to the god cards but lesser because the card effect reminds me of Slifer and it could be something like "opponents mosnter set face down will be flipped and if they have less then 2000 defense, dystroy that card" or maybe just "your opponent cant set monsters" but that might be too oppressive. Idk, just throwing out ideas.
@@thedarkebika9488 it's a emulator you download on your PC or phone. Once you download it, go into deck edit, select alternate formats, and boom! Every single anime card is there. I just made a Marik anime accurate deck and it's pretty fun. The A.I. is kinda dumb so it'll make foolish plays, but you can set it to whatever duel format you want and even duel ppl in rooms you host. Honestly it's the best way to play the game if you dont want to sink actual money into it.
They could rework Ancient Dragon's effect to destroy all monsters on your opponent's side of the field if it destroys one by battle. Basically a less Malific Truth Dragon.
I'd say all of their effects could be reworked with the slightest change and be infinitely better. Ancient Giant, for example, retains the currents stats, but gets a Cyber Dragon-esque Special Summon effect, even if it gets a nerf by needing to control or revealan Ancient Spell Card 🤷♂️
To be fair, crap cards from the anime have gotten some solid re-trains in the past. The most recent example being the "Chimera" cards of Gazelle, Berfomet and Chimera the Mythical Beast (and a new card to add to that AND its own fusion card) Granted its not some Tier 0 Op deck like Snake Eyes is right now, but its certainly solid and much better than its original counterparts. And that art, by God, that art is glorious. Point being, Ancient Dragon has a cool enough design and a cool enough premise to where a re-train could be just what it needs. Hell, you could make Ancient Dragon be an exodia and just have getting all 3 "Ancient" cards on the field, then summoning it, be an insta-win
Maybe make gate burn your opponents life points instead of the burn on your lifepoints. Still not that amazing but it fits with the cards better and removes those self burns. Less you just want to run Prime Material Dragon with these cards but that defeats the boss monster lol.
Honestly if these cards were brought into the modern game and maybe powered up a bit (maybe like The Ancient Dragon being 3500 Atk and given an actual effect) it could be cool
@@burblebineabbletv Honestly only 1 card from this set would even benefit from those cards and that’s Giant. Though yeah, honestly an interesting idea would be that similar to Ancient City Rainbow Ruins, The Ancient City could gain effects for each of the other Ancient cards you control with final effect being the Special Summon of The Ancient Dragon or maybe make all the card being on the field an alternate summoning condition to allow The Ancient Dragon to summon itself from the deck similar Red Eyes Black Metal Dragon.
Im actually watching Season 5 of yugioh right now and saw this archetupe even tho the cards are bad i think they just use their anime effects as building blocks and then add modern effects too them
That seems to be the going trend. I'd be down for this Deck to become a modernized collection of tech cards that could work with any Rock oriented deck.
I'll have to give it a look! I've been trying to keep up with the upcoming side sets to see if any DM Era cards/archetypes are finally getting printed. 😄
As someone who has been running an effective RDA rogue deck against the current meta with the recent crimson king support...look I'd run Scarlight over the original on 99.9% of the times but the CK support has actually done the original some justice after nearly 20 years of mediocrity.
ancient tome might have been meant as a combo with ordeal of a traveler and sinister serpent, so joey couldn't memorize what was in grandpa's hand turn to turn, and grandpa would keep discarding serpent
also, I'm pretty sure that in the show, a person managing to get all the cards needed for ancient dragon (not in a duel, but just obtaining the cards) was very difficult. It's like how hard it was to originally get the exodia cards in the ocg. Grandpa used this deck because he and Arthur Hawkins had a bet on who could get all the cards 1st.
Which, in concept, I think they did pretty well, as far as making it this big grandiose ordeal to basically get all cards to the field. However, the payoff was simply not worth it
@@burblebineabbletv it wasn't just an ordeal to get everything working, the bet was to see which of them could get all the cards period. Grandpa just needed to show Hawkins he had managed to get them all, but he decided to show off by actually using them in a duel. It's like how there were only 4 copies of blue eyes in the show, or how exodia's head was originally going to only be released in premium pack 1, and 2 of the limbs were promos from strategy guides.
Red-Dragon Archfiend wasn't too bad back in the Synchro era. 3k generic beater that laughed at stall-happy kids. People did not run it as much in competitive but it wasn't unheard of and Swords of Concealing Light, Book of Moon, Enemy Controller, and such were fun combinations. Now think that being in the DM era when like, Goat era decks used FLIPs as half the game plan. Nowadays? yeah no chance xD
some day Firedragon support is gonna drop and when it does, it'll drop like a bomb it's gonna burn the whole meta i'm thinking tier-0 here you'll all see Fire's gonna be meta again... just... not now... we just had a tier-0 fire meta deck... so I guess we'll just have to be a little more patient... again...
@@burblebineabbletv their effects where so weird, I still remember him cancelling an attack by changing the polarity of his magnets with a trap to repell his opponents monster or something xD but I love that we got Lithmus Doom Swordsman, his design is soo cool, he could really use some support cards Also, I think it's kinda cool we get some anime cards in Duel Links, like that little princess that infatuated jadens Elemental Heroes before Burstinatrix got mad at them There's so many amazing cards that never got printed This video format showing some light on them is an amazing idea Thanks for making these vids, I'll definetely tune in to watch a few :D Also some are just hilarious, like when you red that Stone Soldiers effect I audibly gasped at how bad it is XD
There’s an interesting idea here! I mean a Rock/Dragon Archetype that allows for this deck to function would be some new ground to explore! Along with the fact that this deck could also have access to the Fossil Fusion Archetype to really branch out its range of Monster utility since each Fossil monster and the Cards that help to make that Rock Deck work do create advantage plays to keep your opponent busy. The only problem with Today’s game is that if you aren’t playing Runick or some mix of Stun/Aggressive Graveyard Deck that can get passed A lot of the Stacked Boards these days, then trying to play Yugioh is damn near impossible with A lot of decks that use Archetype with A lot of Built-in Negates and Farm Nagates out of hands! Synchros and LINKs are Exactly what I’m talking about here! The Potential to just Get Shit on by a Bunch of BS cards is to say the least…aggravating! Because when you realize you have to start building a Functioning deck - Extra Deck First! You know you’re in for Some trouble on turn One (or Turn Two).
Spot on! And I think this Deck really suffers from its end game of 'Generic Boss Monster'. I know some decks can pull it off in stride, but they've got far more tools for consistency than THIS hot mess 😅
It could also be a viable Deck if it had different effects. 😂 In all honesty, I could see them being worked to fully incorporate Stumbling as a lingering effect on some of the cards
Would prefer them never getting adapted to tcg they would get changed far too much for them to work in the modern format. they should of printed back in classic era yugioh as for cards that can be adapted accurately I'd love to get the orichalcos deck made with it's all insane effects, it's actually possible these days due to how much more powerful decks are these days besides if numerous can get printed mostly accurate then so can orichalcos also get retrains of the Egyptian god cards which are accurate to the anime
I want to say that maybe they'd do okay if they were premiered in Speed Duel... But I think it's even too late for THAT. And definitely agree with wanting to see the Orichalcos stuff in its entirety
pretty much could adapt geh or shunnoros at full power as opposed to before look at how numerons got printed pretty accurately despite how broken they were in the anime
You couldn’t Tribute summon to summon The ancient dragon you need to play those cards and ancient city Arthur Hawkins even stated as such saying he had the same card but could never summon it cause it requires to be summon by ancient city
@@burblebineabbletvwell it make sense why else would Yugi grandpa go through all that work just to summon the dragon if he could of just tribute summon it unless he actually had to
These cards looked cool, but that's all they really had going for them. The Key is alright, but everything else is like..really bad pack filler. Especially Ancient Giant.
They need a tune-up, for sure! But if Konami were to release these cards as is, I can only hope that they shoehorn them into a Battles of Legend set and take up every Secret Rare slot 😂
@@burblebineabbletv I'd like to see Arthur Hawkins use the deck himself if it's ever released in the OCG and we then get something like another Legacy of the Duelist game. And then have Solomon use the new Exodia support we just got since it's based on the cards Muran used in the old video games.
What do you expect from the guy who made a really trash deck full of low attack monsters and for some reason Exodia without any way to draw the pieces faster
To be fair, Fire Dragon was never even seeing in a duel nor has its effect revealed. Same with Ultimate Fusion God, the Dark World Fusion monster, Cosmic Blazar Dragon and Earthbound Immortal Red Nova.
Not the Speed Duel argument! 😅 But you're probably right. As is, they are far too slow and 'old-timey' in function that Speed Duel is most likely their best home for prominence
Love seeing someone talk about weird anime exclusive decks and strategies.
Glad you enjoyed! 😎 Definitely looking into more for future videos 📹

I could see that happening and I'm here for it! 😬
Maybe make gate burn your opponents life points instead of the burn on your lifepoints. Still not that amazing but it fits with the cards better and removes those self burns. Less you just want to run Prime Material Dragon with these cards but that defeats the boss monster lol.
Any changes would be acceptable 😂
That knock sound effect scared the bejeezus out of me
🚪 👀
My favorite part of this duel is when the Goblin Attack Force ran over and beat the crap out of Grandpa Moto.
He might be a worse red dragon archfiend, but a worse red dragon archfiend is a very strong card pre-gx era.
True, true. These cards would've killed in LOB format 😵
Honestly if these cards were brought into the modern game and maybe powered up a bit (maybe like The Ancient Dragon being 3500 Atk and given an actual effect) it could be cool
I really want to see more meta relevant, or at the very least capable, that don't rely so heavily on Adamancipator
@@burblebineabbletv Honestly only 1 card from this set would even benefit from those cards and that’s Giant. Though yeah, honestly an interesting idea would be that similar to Ancient City Rainbow Ruins, The Ancient City could gain effects for each of the other Ancient cards you control with final effect being the Special Summon of The Ancient Dragon or maybe make all the card being on the field an alternate summoning condition to allow The Ancient Dragon to summon itself from the deck similar Red Eyes Black Metal Dragon.
I guess , this convoluted method would be worth it if you summon the ancient dragon you win the duel
Exodia Dragon... Quite fitting for Grandpa
It'd be cool if ancient gate special summoned an ancient giant.
A Special Summon or search on activation would be a God send
Im actually watching Season 5 of yugioh right now and saw this archetupe even tho the cards are bad i think they just use their anime effects as building blocks and then add modern effects too them
That seems to be the going trend. I'd be down for this Deck to become a modernized collection of tech cards that could work with any Rock oriented deck.
Ancient Gear Statue is one such card that is from the anime that was never printed... that card is now supposed to be printed soon
I'll have to give it a look! I've been trying to keep up with the upcoming side sets to see if any DM Era cards/archetypes are finally getting printed. 😄
As someone who has been running an effective RDA rogue deck against the current meta with the recent crimson king support...look I'd run Scarlight over the original on 99.9% of the times but the CK support has actually done the original some justice after nearly 20 years of mediocrity.
Better late than never, I suppose
I do think Konami could try to combine the Exodia Support with the Ancient Dragon.
Exodia the Forbidden Dragon? 👀
No thanks I'm sober sent me 😂😂😂
Stay safe, kids 👀
Yugioh fair and balanced 😂😂😂 good one buddy
Call it how I see it 🤡
ancient tome might have been meant as a combo with ordeal of a traveler and sinister serpent, so joey couldn't memorize what was in grandpa's hand turn to turn, and grandpa would keep discarding serpent
also, I'm pretty sure that in the show, a person managing to get all the cards needed for ancient dragon (not in a duel, but just obtaining the cards) was very difficult. It's like how hard it was to originally get the exodia cards in the ocg. Grandpa used this deck because he and Arthur Hawkins had a bet on who could get all the cards 1st.
Which, in concept, I think they did pretty well, as far as making it this big grandiose ordeal to basically get all cards to the field. However, the payoff was simply not worth it
@@burblebineabbletv it wasn't just an ordeal to get everything working, the bet was to see which of them could get all the cards period. Grandpa just needed to show Hawkins he had managed to get them all, but he decided to show off by actually using them in a duel. It's like how there were only 4 copies of blue eyes in the show, or how exodia's head was originally going to only be released in premium pack 1, and 2 of the limbs were promos from strategy guides.
Red-Dragon Archfiend wasn't too bad back in the Synchro era. 3k generic beater that laughed at stall-happy kids. People did not run it as much in competitive but it wasn't unheard of and Swords of Concealing Light, Book of Moon, Enemy Controller, and such were fun combinations. Now think that being in the DM era when like, Goat era decks used FLIPs as half the game plan. Nowadays? yeah no chance xD
I do rag on RDA a bit 💀
some day Firedragon support is gonna drop
and when it does, it'll drop like a bomb
it's gonna burn the whole meta
i'm thinking tier-0 here
you'll all see
Fire's gonna be meta again...
just... not now...
we just had a tier-0 fire meta deck...
so I guess we'll just have to be a little more patient...
again...
I personally want Bastion's Magnet Warriors before we see Fire Dragon 🤷♂️
@@burblebineabbletv
their effects where so weird, I still remember him cancelling an attack by changing the polarity of his magnets with a trap to repell his opponents monster or something xD
but I love that we got Lithmus Doom Swordsman, his design is soo cool, he could really use some support cards
Also, I think it's kinda cool we get some anime cards in Duel Links, like that little princess that infatuated jadens Elemental Heroes before Burstinatrix got mad at them
There's so many amazing cards that never got printed
This video format showing some light on them is an amazing idea
Thanks for making these vids,
I'll definetely tune in to watch a few :D
Also some are just hilarious,
like when you red that Stone Soldiers effect I audibly gasped at how bad it is XD
@@rasendestroyer2701 I appreciate it 😊🙏
Still waiting for Konami to make all of Valon’s Armor cards from Season 4- Waking the Dragons arc 😞
And Allister's Army deck
a rock burn version of volcanics.
Rock-canics 🪨 🔥
I doubt it they may leave it the way it is
Boy, I really hope so 🙏
Can you do a video on bastion's chemical deck, like what you would do to make it playable?
Adding in to that fire dragon we never got
I'll check it out! I've got a series I'm working on coming soon going over all of the currently anime exclusive cards in the series 🤫
Ancient Giant is actually super based PUNK support.
At least it's good for something 😂
@@burblebineabbletv It's the extra 200 attack on PEP that gets you
There’s an interesting idea here! I mean a Rock/Dragon Archetype that allows for this deck to function would be some new ground to explore!
Along with the fact that this deck could also have access to the Fossil Fusion Archetype to really branch out its range of Monster utility since each Fossil monster and the Cards that help to make that Rock Deck work do create advantage plays to keep your opponent busy.
The only problem with Today’s game is that if you aren’t playing Runick or some mix of Stun/Aggressive Graveyard Deck that can get passed A lot of the Stacked Boards these days, then trying to play Yugioh is damn near impossible with A lot of decks that use Archetype with A lot of Built-in Negates and Farm Nagates out of hands!
Synchros and LINKs are Exactly what I’m talking about here!
The Potential to just Get Shit on by a Bunch of BS cards is to say the least…aggravating!
Because when you realize you have to start building a Functioning deck - Extra Deck First! You know you’re in for Some trouble on turn One (or Turn Two).
Spot on! And I think this Deck really suffers from its end game of 'Generic Boss Monster'. I know some decks can pull it off in stride, but they've got far more tools for consistency than THIS hot mess 😅
Still waiting on Forest Wolf ;w;
🐺
Great video
Thank you! 🙏
This part 😂 💀 1:01
👁👄👁
Backup Gardna is still anime exclusive
Definitely in my Top 10 for cards I want to see printed!
Tbh it could be a viable deck if the whole deck had support centered around forcing ur opps cards into defense and dealing piercing
It could also be a viable Deck if it had different effects. 😂 In all honesty, I could see them being worked to fully incorporate Stumbling as a lingering effect on some of the cards
@@burblebineabbletv it could be a weird gimmicky deck. It's yugioh with thousands of cards and ppl plenty like 5 decks. Variety is better
RDA does use the original RDA because of Scarred cheating it out, other than that agreed
Maybe I don't give RDA enough credit 😅
Would prefer them never getting adapted to tcg
they would get changed far too much for them to work in the modern format.
they should of printed back in classic era yugioh
as for cards that can be adapted accurately
I'd love to get the orichalcos deck made with it's all insane effects, it's actually possible these days due to how much more powerful decks are these days besides if numerous can get printed mostly accurate then so can orichalcos
also get retrains of the Egyptian god cards which are accurate to the anime
I want to say that maybe they'd do okay if they were premiered in Speed Duel... But I think it's even too late for THAT. And definitely agree with wanting to see the Orichalcos stuff in its entirety
pretty much could adapt geh or shunnoros at full power as opposed to before
look at how numerons got printed pretty accurately despite how broken they were in the anime
Nice stuff.
Much appreciated! 🙏
You couldn’t Tribute summon to summon The ancient dragon you need to play those cards and ancient city Arthur Hawkins even stated as such saying he had the same card but could never summon it cause it requires to be summon by ancient city
Oh, great.... So it's even worse than I thought 😵
@@burblebineabbletvwell it make sense why else would Yugi grandpa go through all that work just to summon the dragon if he could of just tribute summon it unless he actually had to
These cards looked cool, but that's all they really had going for them. The Key is alright, but everything else is like..really bad pack filler. Especially Ancient Giant.
They need a tune-up, for sure! But if Konami were to release these cards as is, I can only hope that they shoehorn them into a Battles of Legend set and take up every Secret Rare slot 😂
good channel yo
I appreciate ya 🙏
Technically this isnt actually his deck. Its Arthur Hawkin's deck that he borrowed.
Understandable
@@burblebineabbletv I'd like to see Arthur Hawkins use the deck himself if it's ever released in the OCG and we then get something like another Legacy of the Duelist game. And then have Solomon use the new Exodia support we just got since it's based on the cards Muran used in the old video games.
Don't bully these because Konami will give them an Ishizu tier treatment.
Bet 😂
Nice i love it
Happy to hear it! 🤩
Has anyone ever told you you sound like Bill Farmer young?
That's a new one, 😅 although I'm not sure if that's a compliment or not 💀
What do you expect from the guy who made a really trash deck full of low attack monsters and for some reason Exodia without any way to draw the pieces faster
I expected him to put Exodia back in his deck 😂
Wow i think i havnt heard the word metrosexual since 2013
The biggest mistake you made in this video was saying you wouldn't play the original rda, we actually need him in order for scarred to work.
Let me rephrase that!
"I wouldn't play an RDA deck..." 💀🔥
The ancient dragon is just boomer RDA
Okay, boomer 👴
To be fair, Fire Dragon was never even seeing in a duel nor has its effect revealed. Same with Ultimate Fusion God, the Dark World Fusion monster, Cosmic Blazar Dragon and Earthbound Immortal Red Nova.
Doesn't help that Bastion got retrained into Tarzan 🙉
Don't liked too much, needed more trap cards
True, it wasn't slow enough
"And now I can finally summon the ancient dragon... and then i surrender"
Opponent: why did you summon it anyway?
Me: bragging rights.
😂😂
I mean they could work in speed duels
Not the Speed Duel argument! 😅 But you're probably right. As is, they are far too slow and 'old-timey' in function that Speed Duel is most likely their best home for prominence
Thank you so much for answering and I agree with you
