  • I've always wondered the question: what decks would the characters from the original Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters anime play if they were modern Yu-Gi-Oh TCG players? We're going beyond just legacy support! Let's find out what competitive decks they'd be on right now! What do you think? I also did the same thing for Yu-Gi-Oh GX - • I Gave Every Yu-Gi-Oh ...

    As for Yami Bakura. What better deck for a puppet master than Shaddolls. Plus using warped twisted versions of other monsters feels right up his alley.

    • @Mrryn
      @Mrryn 2 місяці тому +4

      I feel like Fire Kings would be the "good" Marik's base deck, and then when his evil half comes out, he adds in Snake Eyes to it to become an ultra menace with a big beater than he can keep resummoning and keep using to blow up the opponent, just like how Yami Marik played Ra - always cheating it out and bringing it back.
      Lair of Darkness honestly feels more Bakura-esque to me. Using traps and monsters to constantly control the game state and whittle them down. Marik wants them to hurt and scream in agony, while Bakura wants you to feel hopeless and wallow in despair.

    Atem with Branded would actually be amazing. Not just for the reasons you mentioned, but also because it's a very protagonist-friendly deck. Since there are so many different variations on Branded, Yugi can keep the core of it while swapping out monsters or archetypes throughout the series to show progression, or to counter specific opponents.

  • @benjaminwoods126
    @benjaminwoods126 2 місяці тому +37

    For Mai I would think either the Twins or even Sky Striker, especially since Sky Striker is in essence one of 2 girls in a Mech Suits, while also keeping her high flying aesthetic of the Harpies, and the synergistic properties of the Amazoness Monsters.
    And I fully agree with Atem's choice of Branded. That whole archetype screamed Protagonist, granted it might have something to do with the stat lines on most of the boss monsters, with Mirror Jade being like the only one that breaks the status quo.

    • @Kaiyuni
      @Kaiyuni 26 днів тому +4

      I think Branded being the pick for him has 2 main things going for it.
      For starters, Branded feels like a protagonist deck. Specifically the Albaz side of it. Many of the (lesser played) branded cards try to marry it between two archetypes and cross the bridge between them, such as Incredible Ecclesia and a few others. Yami would frequently merge his monsters with his friends' monsters in some capacity and many of the Albaz fusions are Albaz + some other archetype (usually). Ecclesia and later Cartesia also easily fulfills the Dark Magician Girl vibes.
      Next, it's the versatility of the deck and the power of "drawing the out". Yami is the best person to give a pile of 1-of cards to because he has the power to draw the out if he's ever backed into a corner. Given how many cards branded has that are branded themselves or branded-adjacent, he would be the king of the pile. I could totally see him getting his board blown up and his hand is majorly exhausted. Then he top decks Branded in White and swings himself back into the game or potentially wins on the spot. Maybe just top decking Fallen of Albaz and having him eat a boss monster in a simplified game state and swinging for game with Titaniklad or Mirrorjade. Or even just throwing out Albaz the Ashen after a super long and grueling game and he gets like +3000 attack (15 monsters in GY) and just swinging for game on the spot.
      I feel like Yami would lean a lot more into the "Albaz side" of branded, that much is certain.

    I think the coolest idea with Yami playing Branded and Kaiba playing Kashtira (especially for the META a few months ago) is how strong both decks were (and still are) and how either deck could win. Branded being the more tool-box/flexible option with many options to counter for winning in a longer game and Kashtira being more aggressive and depriving with zone locking and banishing to crush your opponent.

  • @capman42
    @capman42 2 місяці тому +11

    I had thoughts for Mai and Solomon Muto specifically!
    For Mai, I think Mikanko could be a good fit! It's definitely a little on the "girlier" side, but to me a) that goes along with her prominent usage of Harpie and Amazoness as strongly "female-inspires" decks, b) it plays into how her earlier appearances had her taking advantage of male duelists underestimating her (especially with the Mikanko stat lines), and c) the way Mikanko plays and especially interacts with battle is similar to how her duel against Joey saw her make tricky use of her Flying monsters. In addition, a case could be made for the trickier equip spells being vaguely reminiscent of the tricks she'd play in early duels
    For Solomon Muto, I'd make a case for Memento! It strikes a similar chord as Adamancipator in terms of looking to the past, the overall gameplan of "assemble the combo to play the big monster" present somewhat in Exodia and very present in his KC grand prix deck is similar to what Memento wants to do, and, given that this sort of rebooted series clearly features newer cards, the fact that all but one of the Memento monsters are retrained old monsters suits him well!

    Hey Paul, awesome video, you picked some creative choices i never thought of and wish i did. Also, side note since you dotn play duel links, but some events kinda hint at decks theyd make characters use. Bonz had a big event where its revealed his type of Spooks would be like Ghostricks now.

    I feel Ishizu is a Labyrinth player. All 3 of the gravekeepers in Yu-Gi-Oh had a focus on traps, and Labyrinths general theming of an elegant trap castle fits Ishizu to a T. She can appear unassuming and gentle, but if you let her appearance decive you your toast.

    I’ve built a few decks so far based on characters using a few of their cards from the anime, but just building support around those key cards. Yugi for example, uses dark magician support but also has slifer and Gaia with it along with magical hats and old trap staples. Kaiba uses blue eyes/obelisk support, but has cards like fairy meteor crush and enraged battle ox. Still gets ok results but they are so much fun to use.

    I could see Yami Bakura, Yami Marik or Bones using Memento they destroy themselves to use their effects, that one trap has 5+ negates which is good from just one card then you have their artistic theme being skeletal/phantom versions of older cards.

    I've seen this concept like 100 times but I think you're the first to actually nail it. So many just pick the modern variants or go with whatever's relevant right now and shares a type with their OG deck. You actual thought about the themes and character parallels that make a deck feel like a character's signature.

    I really liked the Idea of Yugi on an adventure deck. Fits his style and the idea of a party of friends.
    Joey would fit super well with a flame swordsman infernoble build.
    I love the idea of Kaiba on Kashtira, it really fits his personality and his playstyle with crush cards virus.
    Pegasus on Amazement is a fun fit to his flamboyant style.
    Mai is 100% the trickiest to nail down if your not just giving her Harpies or amazons. I like the live twin idea. Mikanko is also a decent fit for her more tricky play styles she uses in duelist kingdom.
    Atem on branded was an deck I wasn’t immediately expecting but I see your points, it has the ability to play multiple different ways depending on how you configure your deck and draw. The Horus cards would also be a good fit for him

    Dragunity as one of Joey's runner up modern TCG decks fits him pretty well. What came to mind was a representation of his relationship with Mai Valentine, a Wind Winged-Beast user through the Harpies. Harpies also have a Pet Dragon which very loosely reference that Winged-Beast/Dragon relationship.

Both have powerful cards and effects and are water types that mainly use fish/sea serpent/aqua types

    This video was super cool. I really agree about Yami Yugi, and now I can totaly see Kaiba playing Drytron! I also agree a lot with Pegasus, but I would include Plunder Patrol on his possible decks, for rememebering his style of monster hinding inside other cards plus the aesthetic of plunder cards..
    For Mai, I really think Mikanko feets her character, strong females that can challenge the most fearsome monsters, supported by very strong spell cards, like in his old harpies deck.

    • @NotsoNaisu
      @NotsoNaisu 2 місяці тому +1

      Drytron can also play Chaos Max even if it isn't the most optimal choice lol, and the new Drytron boss monster can actually Cheat Chaos Max from the deck.

    he played Saggi and Peten so playing Comedy/Tradgey doesn't seem that off beat, his flair for the dramatic would 100% let him use the Theatre and he gets to use all of the cool dragon fusions including the blue eyes ones. There's also a theoretical line where he summons queridas, drops the atk of everything on the board, and then turns over Crush Card Virus using his now-0 atk monster

    I considered the archtype, the Earthbound Immortals for Bakura to more accurate to his darker side because he is bound by the limits of the ring until he finds a vessal and his obsession with sending duelist to the shadow realm is like a field spell to the mentally strong while the immortals are bound by there shackles until enough sacrifices are made to bring them out in the show and game for tributes with a field spell active aka there insignia.

    Branded for Yami/Atem seems extremely appropriate.
