I said Sapphire Pegasus is a WIND Beast, not a Winged Beast, freakin type police over here

Don't worry, if this deck ever gets hit really hard by powercreep, you can place it in the spell and trap zone instead.

Remember Mammoth has a secret effect When attacking or summoned, quote 1 Arnold swartzinager from your deck

Finally some Big Bears support.

This isn't your average everyday darkness this is A D V A N C E D D A R K N E S S

It'd be interesting if the crystal beasts had been made with effects for when they were in the spell/trap zone, and were prototypes of pendulum monsters.

This archetype is protected by nostalgia and nothing more. More than half the deck has nothing going for it, the crystals fill up unnecessary space, their boss monster is stup- *ruby carbuncle jumps on my lap* ....Nevermind.

It's the Dark Souls of Yugioh videos.

>One of the gayer parts of GX. If you played Crystal Beasts and didn't end up at least bisexual what were you even doin'?

I had to stop watching archetype archive to watch this archetype archive

Last time I was this early, Shapesnatch had a text-to-speak voice

CHILLIN OUT WITH THE CREW IN THE SCHOOLYARD.

>No mention of Amber Mammoth's dub voice that was just an Arnold Schwarzenegger impersonation. Shameful.

Now Rainbow Dragon and Rainbow Dark Dragon have the condition that they’re always treated as “Ultimate Crystal” monsters.

Crystal Beast Hamon Turbo is actually surpringly consistent with the proper support, and is a fantastic way to catch your opponent off guard.

Now I want a Big Bears archetype with Ultimate Buddha God monsters as its boss monsters.

One day Konami of America will stop being prudes and translate things correctly

We... Are the Crystal Beasts. We always brick ya game. And if you think we can't We'll always prove we're lame. That's why the people Of this game Doubt in... Tiger, Pegasus, And Panther... And Carbuncle!

"Fellas! Is it gay if you're being mind controlled by an alien hermaphrodite!?" Rank10YGO asking the real questions.

It's not gay if you say no homo after dueling with them.

crystal beasts more like crystal beans haha but seriously draconet neutrality is a serious issue and allowing the VRAINS to give each link monster a different cost is not only immoral it's also a class A offense in some latvian villages sign my petition

It isn't gay if the yugioh cards don't touch

seeing as how often the TCG translations backfire on their ass later down the line, i wonder when they wil regret their shitty pun card names like toadally awesome, the grass looks greener, bunny blast etc

Here's ideas on boosting crappy crystal beast monsters: Topaz tiger: while in the spell and trap zone "crystal beast monsters" and rainbow dragon monsters" gain 400 attack and defense. Amethyst cat: while in the spell and trap zone "crystal beast monsters" and rainbow dragon monsters" are unaffected by opponents trap cards. Cobalt eagle: while in the spell and trap zone if you control a "crystal beast monster" or rainbow dragon monster" instead of conducting your normal draw you can add "crystal" spell or trap from your deck to your hand. Emerald tortoise: while in the spell and trap zone if you control a "crystal beast monster" or rainbow dragon monster" during either players turn if your opponent activates a spell card you can send this card to the graveyard to negate and destroy it. Amber elephant: while in the spell and trap zone once per turn: if a "crystal beast monster" inflicts battle damage you can add one "crystal beast monster" to your spell and trap zone from your graveyard.

I personally use The Seal of Orichalcos in my Crystal Beast deck. The larger ones become better beatsticks and protects the smaller ones. Only downside is that the fusions are unusable with it.

*Dead asleep with girlfriend* My brain: "OH SHIT RATA UPLOADED AGAIN, CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH IT." *Girlfriend turns into The One Whose Shape Was Snatched* What has my life become...

It's a shame that the “big bear”archetype never receive any further supports beyond Over The Rainbow，which is a card made only to indicate a lore union between “crystal beasts” and “big bears”. Does this make Over the Rainbow the spell card equivalent of Flamevell Magician？

Thank god I was running out of things to distract me from homework

Oh boy, was gonna go to sleep because of a big exam tomorrow, and now this shit pops up in my sub box... Thanks.

1:41 It just hit me: the seven Crystal Beasts monsters are actually the colors of the rainbow. Ruby is red, Amber is orange, Topaz is yellow, Turquoise is green, Sapphire is blue, Cobalt is indigo, and Amethyst is violet aka R.O.Y.G.B.I.V. I know, I know, the boss monster is literally Rainbow Dragon, how did I not notice, but in my defense, this archetype is primarily themed around gems and crystals, and with all the gems, minerals, and crystal on 90% of cards, I hope I can be forgiven for not paying too much attention to the colors of the individual monsters.

I love the POLISH of your videos, they really are a DIAMOND in the rough. I VALUE whenever you upload..... I'm sorry.

Carbuncle = Espeon.

I think konami should make more Superlight Vikings. Like Superlight Viking Win Recker. A normal trap that says "You win the match. You can only activate this card during your opponents main phase 3."

"Putting monsters in your backrow" Infernity: "A WORTHY CHALLANGER! OUR BATTLE WILL BE LEGENDARY!"

Looks like im not hanging my self todat

Comback ability should be fully green, suprised this deck is so great.

I’ve been rewatching the alien hermaphrodite joke for about an hour now

i'm SO sorry for the support report you're about to make

This is probably my favourite archetype archive episode yet, nice job Rata

Nothing ==> i sleep New Archetype Archive =======> *R E A L S H I T ! ! ?*

Looks like Christmas came early!!! Thank tiu Rata!!! :) :)

That Stronger Inzektor reference though. Too bad their Kabuto and Gattack are respectively shite tho.

I am still holding out hope for a full retrain of them. Maybe include the effect of always being treated as that monster even in the deck. Pegasus and Carbuncle can largely stay as they are but maybe eagle could get the effect of returning things to the hand and granting an additional normal summon. Turtle might negate spell/trap cards in exchange for switching his battle position. Cat might give you a search or graveyard recovery when successfully attacking (also not lose attack while doing so) tiger they could increase the boost from 400 to 1000 and give him effect immunity while attacking. Mammoth they could add that if you have 2 the opponent can't attack and that mammoth is unaffected by all the opponent's card effects that don't destroy it.

Alternate title: What if you had the most broken spell and trap cards but only two passable main deck monters and no good extra deck monster

Hey how about we make an archetype that involves mashing animals and crystals together??? Genius right?

Crystal Bonds has the greatest Yugioh card artwork ever.

Great video! Your work is genuinely fun and unique and I'm really glad I found you because your work revived my love for yugioh and it's archetypes.

This *actually* helped me learn about the deck unlike other "101"'s. So thank you from Minneapolis, Rata!

Sad that "rainbow life" isn't crystal beast support. Would have been perfect for Jaden and Jesse if ya catch my drift

I still have nightmares about this archetype because when I got back into the game I just had my shitty Warrior equip beat down deck (featuring OG BLS and the Gaia Synchro) and my buddy ran crystal beasts. He would whoop me good and once Rainbow Ruins got going I was fucked. Even to this day when I play good decks like Kozmo or Paleofrogs, Crystal Beasts still make me sweat

Wow, this video was actually pretty great. Exceptional background, pacing, and bgm, keep up the great work my man.

“And what the hell is this doing in duel links” No fucking clue why crystal beasts are there in the first place other then because a main character used them seeing as they don’t have enough spell trap slots for the archetype to work properly.

In the defence of that trap letting your opponent draw when you play ancient city, that was a format where you could only have one field spell between the two of you

if the crystal beasts had effects while in the backrow as cont spells, like a kind of prototype pendulum archetype, they'd have been a lot more interesting; something of a missed opportunity

Every time yugioh makes me feel down I cry tears of joy when rank10ygo uploads an archive ;,) thanks for making me feel better agaib

You have no idea how long I've waited fr this day AWESOME video

I know they aren't bad, but I desperately want a Gladiator Beast video because I love them

With the recent Structure Deck and the Advanced Crystal Beast finally getting printed, wouldn't be surprised if the next Archetype Archive sequel would be this.

OH MY GOD I think I love you,I waited soooo long for this

Make a before they were banned series talking about broken decks like dragon rulers or pepe.

Svaka cast susjede. Predobar show.

I don't even play yugioh anymore but I just love you videos

I had fun playing this archetype back in the day

That artwork on ultimate god rainbow over dragon is beautiful

Ultimate Crystal The World Over Heaven

Crystal Protector is just Johan going around with some cosplay accessories.

Despite only having played the game for a few years having bought two starter decks, Sorrcerers Aliance and some vampire deck, and watching the original anime series religiously, I love your content. You have witty humor combined with memes, keeping both in balance. I actually considered started play the game again, I visited my local game shop and then I left running and screaming once I remember how expensive it can get and i saw two guys play half their decks in 3 turns in 10 seconds. I'll keep watching you though, you are funny.

This video let your personality really SHINE through. I could really watch but I couldn't stop GLISTENING to the alluring sound of a voice. I hope this video won't become a hidden GEM and gets the spotlight for a change. I should a stop so my jokes don't lose their CLARITY. This last one might not make the CUT because it doesn't make much sense... Love you Rata :D

*generic comment about how Crystal Beasts got new support in 2023*

Thabks for all your work this was a great video

God dammit, I love you Rata. Never change.

So now that RANK10YGO has done both Neos and Crystal Beast. When can we expect Gem-Knights?

I heavily played crystal beasts before and I can say for a fact they can be force to be reckoned with even without the newer support the only thing I would change was bump power to a yellow everything else is on point

I believe we're at a +2 for videos this year. Thanks Rata.

Hidden gem, the comedy gold I subbed for never fails to amaze me

17:31 you're welcome

WHO WANTS TO PLAY WITH ROCKS!?

I first discovered you on that 40 minute "yugituber" interview video with the other guy and I was instantly hooked on your accent, and your humor is amazing, also just happened to start playing yugioh again, can't wait to watch everything.

Excellent video as always.

Can we meme "Big Bears" into existence

Gem-knights next? Cuz you kno, crystals, gems, basically the same thing.

I'm glad you kept the thumbnail.

I saw this video and shit my heart out. Favorite set of cards here I can't wait to see what crazy shit you come up with.

"is it gay if you're being mind controlled by an alien hermaphrodite" it's never gay if you say no homo however I never say no homo, so for me it is very gay and I love it

Wondering what would happen if they release a Crystal Beast Link monster

pretty neat video editing there rata

YES!!!!!! Thank you for this Rata

Can we address Rank11YGO please?

we are the crystal beasts we'll always save the day and if you think we can't we'll always find a way that's why the monsters of this world believe in ruby pegasus and ahhhh... well that's about it

I liked how your first suggestion for xyz was gustav max. Train love at peak! Reminds me of how i like bls and heroes

the editing was really good in this one

Wait, why does Rainbow Dragon have a set of smol extra wings on its tail... and why did I never notice that!?

Ah, good to see another video from the grand boss of Trains. Just wondering, ever thought of making an Evilswarm Archetype Archive? They're getting a new Link monster, *_"Steelswarm Origin"_* , and yes, it's basically a Evilswarm Link monster despite the name.

RATA! just earlier today i thoght of the song "Last Resort" for the first time in years and was obv smirking quite hard and now its IN THIS!!;!?? u rly the best :*)

One of my favorites Archetype.

*Insert creative crystal based pun here*

I'm a simple man, I see mention of Kamen Rider and I hit like

I was bout to go to sleep, but Rank10 uploads a new video...... Who needs sleep lol

Love your videos. Perfect amount of salt, sarcasm and facts. May I suggest my favorite archetype: HERO's. Maybe make it a small series to cover them all: Judai's Manga deck, anime deck, masked heroes, destiny heroes, and such. Greetings from Colombia!

Ok, hear me out here. What about doing a "Legacy of the Worthless: Where are they now?" You look at archetypes you already reviewed, and see if their newer support or link summoning has lowered or increased their grades.
