For Dark Ruler Protection, Couplet can search out the Trap Illusion which makes a Melodious unaffected by Spell/Trap effects. So, you can target Etoile and they can still disrupt your opponent along with re-establishing the lock for the following turn.
If you have a special summoned Aria on field, Illusion can't be activated cause Aria prevents target from any source, including your own cards. I don't think the deck has any form of protection for drnm or droplet without a hard drawn counter trap or something.
I should’ve clarified that Illusion only works if you’re not going for Aria, but Illusion can do something similar. A lot of the targeting you are worried about involves effect negation and destruction. So you can easily make a board involving Bacha, Etoile, Elegy and Illusion which effectively means your opponent has to deal with Etoile bouncing at least 3 cards because Bacha makes Etoile’s effect unnegatable.
In a few ways this deck reminds me of marincess. It has a lot of 1 card combos, can hold a lot of hand traps, relies heavily on its own engine, has a lot of protection but not a lot of interruptions. I could see it being at the same level of tier 3 or rogue depending on the meta.
Really like the option of running condensed witch to ss another melodious from deck on opponent's turn or even statue of the heavens to lock them into lights ss. You just need to save your normal summon to do it to not conflict with the link 2 which is totally possible with the fusion spell or other play starter.
It's been a long time. DUEA and DUEA introduced archetypes will always have a place in my heart. All of them. Deskbots, Melodious, BA, Dolls, Tellars. Thank youuuu Konami!
Galaxy Photo Dragon is a great inclusion, you can search the trap that let's it rank up to Photo Lord then you have a negate. Can either use the Photon Ship as a normal summon to make it or just as a 1 card garnet that can be made with 2 level 4 melodius. Other options include adding a small trickster engine to have a normal that makes the herald link to get a spell trap negate.
This deck has always been one of my favorites. I've been playing it off and on since it first came out. It's always been one of those decks that no matter how many times i'd set it down to play something else, I knew I could always be able to pick it right back up. So glad it's getting new support, and actually good support at that. Then again my motto when it comes to yugioh is that, I may not win but if I can annoy you with my deck that's a win for me.
The locks on 1st Movement Solo and the Link-2 can be really annoying if you want to shove in other engines. Though the most notable Fusions you'd probably want to consider running are Shaddoll Construct(Shaddoll Engine enabler with that Castastor effect) and The First Darklord(ANY Fairy Deck can make it for blanket Targeting protection that's less intrusive than Aria's, but it's Dark and requires 3 mats). Those may or may not be worth it depending on what you're trying to accomplish with the deck.
This deck has no need to be this good now 😍 I'm so happy!! I just finished my testing of them and any deck that can win on the same turn that they had their board wiped by Zeus is a-ok in my books
now that i see it how did melodious not have pend cards up until now. the entire point of arc v was that these are the decks that have pendulums available. that was why every deck from that time got random pendulum monsters
I’m really interested in what a version without the link monster looks like ostinato can be the new branded fusion/brilliant fusion. The engine is very similar to the super heavy samurai pendulum engine. There’s so many synergies with other decks and it doesn’t lock you into anything.
Actually there was quite a decline in main deck talents at YCS bologna because of Rescue-Ace. I could see this doing decently if Fire king and Rescue Ace are still meta.Z One things for sure though, TCGPyke will be sweating bullets if sees this.
Kinda, but Eloite's effect dodges nibiru. If your opponent trys to nib you, chain Elo, get rid of ALL your melodious monsters, nib fizzles out without any monsters to eat, Elo returns all melodious monsters back to your board at end phase except the EMZ but hey 5/6 is still good instead getting rocked.
This deck needed new support a long time ago. Thank you, Konami, for remembering it. 🎵🎵🎵🎵
Cant wait for ur vid on them
Same 😂😂
Still waiting on that Silienforc video
The editing will be awesome
Can't wait for your vid..
5:13 "Ah! Baka! I think it's Baka! Yeah! UwU"

I’m that guy at locals you described at the end been playing them since they were released

kinda pointless since 10/10 you're aiming to have Aria out on field

Just play judgment
Aria moment.

It's way better than Marincess.
Never thought Id hear lithium say Baka at 5:13 lmao
Well, the name is Bacha.. 👀😄
@@Lithium2300 oh lol i thought u ment the other Baka in Japanese
I don't think lithium2300 watches anime lol.

Its just nice to see konami making main deck monsters actually relevant and not just materials for extra deck monsters.

It also gave super nice support to forgotten old archetypes like skull servants and batteryman, god DUEA was such a sick set
This was one of the first real decks I made after getting back into the game in the early 2010s. Cool to see it FINALLY get some proper support.

Herald of Mirage Lights could be a tech card as it can provide a spell and trap negate

Melodious has fans?

Too bad that ostinato is nowhere near powerful as branded fusion tho, both the card itself and the support around it.
Seems like a very solid engine for pendulums. Ostinato alone is a 1-card scale and Beyond the Pendulum.
i love how many ways are to get the same board: Etoile + Schuberta + Special Summoned Aria + Elegy; with just ostinato.
I know it would be very hard to give Gagaga support but I loved their cards, they all made me think of em as related to Dark Magician
We REALLY NEED FABLED SUPPORT
with this new support melodious has a combo that ends on the aria/elegy lock plus a 4k apollousa.
Actually there was quite a decline in main deck talents at YCS bologna because of Rescue-Ace. I could see this doing decently if Fire king and Rescue Ace are still meta.Z
One things for sure though, TCGPyke will be sweating bullets if sees this.
I want someone to believe in me the way Lithium believes in every archetype that gets support
05:13 the baka KULLED ME 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The gem knight crystal monster is a 1 card starter also theres 2 of em and one isn’t once per turn i think
Since ostinato doesn't state that the cards have to be sent to the graveyard doesn't that mean it can't be ash blossomed?
You are the best yugituber
But Dragonmaid support? When?! xD
8 years too late. I remember playing this deck and auto losing to Skill Drain and Ice Beast Zerofyne😂
doesnt this just auto lose to nib?

I love my white woman!
