The Chadlich players are the ones who play floodgates and good advantage cards, i.e. not Golden Land Forever! or Cursed Eldland.

I love it when I play against Eldlich "set 5 and pass" with my combo wombo "shiranui, Eldlich, Grass looks greener, summon my entire extra deck in one turn" hybrid of a deck. They use Eldlich to stall and not allow you to play the game, i use Eldlich as a combo extender which sometimes remains on the filed, but most of the time is used as link material for combos.

@@BpointShow There are plenty of better extenders in Grass Decks, like Snow, Jet Synchron, Damage Juggler, Hat Tricker, Giant Rex (with Snow), etc.

@@user-fe8gx3ie5v but using the accepted extenders doesn’t make you a Chad, one must go beyond the norm to become the truest of chads

@@user-fe8gx3ie5v (first off sorry for the long ass comment dude, just like to explain some of the plays this deck does) yes i know there are, i just prefer to play mostly zombies and take advantage of their GY effects (i do play two raidens and two wulf so i can use charge of the light brigade to mill some more). in the case of shiranui, i get them in the GY with grass alongside whirlwind flame to get them banished (or gozuki to get them banished) so i can activate their effects to either special summon, pop a card on the field, return another shiranui from the GY to my hand (spirit master is the usual choice here) then i use the whirlwind to either return it to the deck to get plaguespreader zombie out from the GY (if he's there), or special summon jet synchron from the GY (if its there), or to get Eldlich out from the GY for free basically, (keep in mind that once whirlwind is back in the GY it can be used again the same turn to banish two fire monsters, which shiranui are, and get a discard in the hand for free). once Eldlich is in the hand i can also special summon some other zombie like mezuki that i can use to go into link plays, or to go into Minerva the exalted lightsworn to get some more cards into the gy. I usually turn one get as many cards into the gy i can, then i special summon Halqifibrax to get another tuner onto the field, most of the times the level 3 shiranui, then special summon a lvl 4 zombie from the GY, usually gozuki with the effect of mezuki (i use the other effect of gozuki to send another mezuki in the GY, as mezuki is not once per turn), then i synchro into F.A dawn duster to have a spell/trap negate on the field, then i go into special summoning from the graveyard to get out masquerena so i can link summon during my opponents turn, activate mezuki again to get the shiranui lvl 3 tuner on the field, activate it's effect to get one lvl 4 shiranui and a mezuki that were banished back on the field so now i would have enough materials to go into either unicorn, or apollousa on my opponents turn, and with the two lvl 4s on the field and Halqifibrax i can activate the other effect of halqi to banish itself and special summon shooting raiser dragon, then activate it's effect to send another mezuki (or another lvl 4 to the gy), transforming raiser dragon into a lvl 3 tuner that i can use with either f.a dawn duster if my opponent activated a spell or trap that i negated this turn (this makes dawn duster a level 5 monster) and get out crystal wing for a monster negate or omega to banish one card from my opponents hand. I can also use raiser dragon with the two levele 4s to go into trishula (the level 11 variant) to banish 3 cards on the field (gotta be careful with this tho as it misses the timing...). Also, after my turn one i should have some of the Eldlich spell or traps into the gy so what i do with them is get a pop on the field with conquistador, a negate anything with golden land forever, maybe a special summon with the trap. btw if this all sounds expensive it's because it is expensive. Does the deck pop off? Heck yeah it does! I got to plat 3 last month with it with little to no losses. Is the deck consistent? It's consistent enough, i rarely had a turn one where I don't have a play. There are also a lot more plays you can do with this hybrid of a deck, get shiranui samurai on the field to banish any zombie and make it a get out of jail free card (by his effect if he battles a monster and that monster is not destroyed, my opponent banishes that monster, which is a great boss removal), i can go into samuraisaga for a big beat stick, go into sun saga to pop and return my zombie synchros back in the extra deck, get nine tailed fox out as a special summon to tree up space on the field (or get mezuki in the gy again to activate and special summon any zombie) and so on.

Eldlich is unironically fun.

@@user-fe8gx3ie5v when you mix it with other zombies and aren't playing floodgate.deck i would agree

@@mikaela5938 It's fun when it's the pure control/card advantage variant. Otherwise, the Deck sucks because it needs to have as many Traps as possible to be consistent.

@@user-fe8gx3ie5v you're just that type of person who only enjoys playing meta and winning every match, there is nothing wrong with it but no one is ever gonna agree with you

@@-daigher-2549 That's what competitive games are about, and who is this "no one"? Plenty people enjoy competitive play.

Agreed

started master duel with a shiranui deck after not touching any ygo game for many years. consistently got my butt kicked by meta decks. decided to add eldlich cards and a week later got to plat. it's a fun deck to play. I die to pure eldlich decks most of the time tho. gozen match freezes my plays hahaha

I used it with vampire And it’s rlly good vampire is big support to Eldlich

Agreed, since it’s the same thing happening with Drytrons, though the Drytron Fairy deck has them on the back burner for the Herald cards as the floodgate

I agree, the spells and traps of the Golden land archetype can 100% take care of themselved, my eldlich deck's only monsters are 3 Maxx C, 3 Ash Blossom, and 3 Eldlich, everything else are spells and traps, and I've yet to get bricked

It’s even better if you use super poly and use your opponents Eldlich instead of your own.

@@Firebird-he3sz It's even better if you use [Seven cities of the golden land] to fusion summon. Very easy find and combos.

Indeed. Until the other guy just pops an Ice Dragon's Prison on you to banish both your Mad Golden and a Regular Golden 😘.

i use summoner of illusions to get it out

@@samsiu4724 has yet to happen to me. I usually have an out for that 😘😘

Nobody expects the Golden Inquisition! The God-Emperor of TTS would love this deck

Ii use it all the time

Also, when people try to negate the effect and destroy it but they forgot to read that Mad Lord cannot be destroyed by card effect and battle. The only way to remove it is either banish it or use Zeus like effect.

@@professorhaaland6210 Non-destruction removal

@@professorhaaland6210 banish, return back to deck (so unicorn), etc can still beats out Mad golden lord. They should have given it immune to all card effects like crooked cook

Lol, thanks for pointing that out. Completely missed it.

5:32 he also share the detail

@@faraday2286 Gotta emphasize those dragon milkies. Some people actually thought Drident was a buff dude...

When I first got this card I thought it was bad. Kinda regret dusting one of my two copies of it now.

The "no" and "shut up" is my favorite

I am so glad too found out that duel logs has this channel and I can already see that I like this editor so much especially with stuff like this 2:02

All these Aki-gasps. Editor-san is really spoiling us with best girl.

I love when he gasps now because the editor is awesome.

ok but the laugh when he pulls off the gimmick

Happened to me playing against Drytron. Wasn't even mad.

If side deck is a thing like irl then it would be a legitimate options

If my usual deck with Super Poly had level 5 or higher zombies I'd totally do this, but I can still super poly it with the help of Verte Anaconda or Lair of Darkness, actually wait, Eldlich itself is a level 5 or higher zombie monster

@@James.D.B. edlich's trap is a level 5 monster

That how I usually run my eldlich. I love the archetype lol

If my opponent isn't having fun, I won't be either. That's why I run my Doomking Eldlich deck like this

Meta decks are never fun to fight cuz they never let u play the game

@@ggmasterguiltygear6315 This is spoken like somebody who runs no negates or hand traps in their deck lmao

@Aquarium Gravel Then run cards to destroy backrow dawg, counter what you play against. I understand that people hate the tools in Master Duel to floodgate but there's always variance and a way to beat the floodgates. That's YuGiOh, it's how the game is and should be.

@@SomersBugtopia I'm sorry that women don't want you bro, maybe if you took more showers.

If he had just special'd keras he'd have drident pop the cursed eldland and gone into zeus at minimum with duellogs running on fumes. Can lead a camel to water but can't make it link summon.

@@TempestDacine True he could go for a more conservative play if he feared removal like raigeki or another eldlich. His hand, and deck, was bonkers, but he just clicked buttons and lost.

@@TempestDacine Why pop Eldland? You're just giving more advantage.

@@user-fe8gx3ie5v as opposed to letting them search with it every turn and pop it themselves to revive golden lord yeah. It's a bitter pill to swallow but its def a way to press advantage with limited plays.

@@TempestDacine The card itself is not very good, but it makes more sense to pop it during the opponent's turn when he tries to search so he doesn't get the End Phase Set during your turn.

trust me, any zombie eldlich combination is fun af, you can make a good bit of interesting plays.

He made one today on twitch

Both equally as degenerate imo

@@BigBootyBatman nah, floodgate Eldlich straights up doesn't let you play while ZW Eldlich still allows you to play most of your decks

Zombie world eldlich wins the eldlich match up, but sucks at competcting against other eldlich decks.

ZW eldlich gives u more option to play as well than the pure trap one,if u got an oopsie and ur golden boi got banished in pure trap deck,there's little u can do,where with other mixed deck u can use other card to bring golden boi back from being banished,or u know...can still use other zombies in ur arsenal and still can make the play eventho u got one or two banished

@@vegaaltair8478 It does give "more options" but I say it is worse in the current meta than a pure eldlich deck. And I say this as someone whos ingame name is necromancer and got plat 1 with eldlich while currently climbing with zombie world eldlich that I will soon post on masterduel meta.

even better opponent doesn't play utopic package but choose to use chakanine effect

did he forget he have zeus or something.

Sometimes I just forget I have zeus. It rarely comes up. Almost costed me the duel, when I dueled a dimfissure macro-cosmos deck. Dude literally went first, used dimfissu, set 3, pass, standby flip macro, cuz why not. Then I went neg a thousand to make this xyz to atk, and forgot I had zeus. But next turn I remembered I had zeus. But since the guy had dropped an area limit, i had to go even more minus to summon a knightmare phoenix, pop the area limit, and then go into zeus.

Yeah idk what that tri-brigade user was doing. Putting Drident up screwed him on the Shiruaig play too. Big oof

I was so confused, genuinely thought the Brigade player was having a sudden brain aneurysm while playing

That's exactly why. Skill Drain at 3 in a BO1 format is duuuumb.

Because it's easier to ooga booga with pure trap eldlich with floodgates than mixed one like this. Eldlich fusion only benefits those who plays mixed one since it open more options for them how to play the eldlich. Mad lord ain't just 3800 beater,it's a beater with high atk,can't be destructible with battle/card effect,and can take control of opponen't monster.

@@vegaaltair8478 those effects are really good. I only said mad lord was a 3800 beater with skill drain on the field. Which most eldlich decks run x3

@@mikenicholson1388 Oh! Sorry about that, yeah I did try mad lord on the pure eld deck with Skill drain option and let's just say it doesn't work well.. and it better off with either pure trap or mixed one so it become more consistent

Yeah but if you run mad lord, you would chose not to rub skill drain cause his abilities are actually cracked

Sad how the Fusion Card is so useless given how it looks really cool

@@floofiekun1875 It’s more useful if you’re running Zombie World with Eldlich

@@gx9183 how?

@@evilsworn2901 it's essentially free fusion spell for your deck so you can Use it to fuse nethersoul/starving venom/etc while also getting rid of the monsters in your hand that you want in your gy like doomking with ZW on the field, or even Eldlich himself rez from GY

@@wolfnagi10 if you have Zombie World on the field, even the most powerful Perfectly Ultimate Great Moths will become one with the Golden Lord.

Zombie world and in tandem with those who also have Rivalry of Warlords does act somekind of a floodgate, but like u said, it falls into the category of "soft floodgate", but it would rly rly annoying against certain decks

yeah,its only good against Eldlich lmfao

@@mekudu-man3804 and Zombie World doesn't really worth the slot even with Super Poly, right?

actually it's a real playmaker in Shiranui Eldlich. Dumps a Synchro in the grave for use with Spectralsword and yoinks a monster.

yeah. it's really not that great. The real key card of eldlich is skill drain and imperial order, and vanity emptiness. protect those floodgates at all cost that's all you need to win the game as Eldlich. in the end using mad lord is the unoptimized version of the deck.

@@prophetmuhammad3890 Screw optimization I want to use the cool looking card!

Idk i think synchron eldlich is a bit better because the fusion doesn't make the eldlich plays any stronger or multifaceted. I agree floodgate eldlich is a waste its just really easy to play.

I just think he's neat

@@jeremiahbennett3004 Cannot deny that

He doesn't come out in most matches, but he is very good for the mirror match eldlich decks and is a much cheaper and incredibly consistent card to pull once eldlich engine is functioning over other anti-eldlich mirror match options, plus the steal effect is incredible at shutting down opposing eldlich's as it does not send to graveyard, I don't typically play it against other decks but in eldlich v eldlich, its a great fieldbreaker when both sides are at stalemate

It's more so that most of the "basic" Eldlich decks use Skill Drain (Also lots of decks in general use Skill Drain because it makes for a decent floodgate and makes your foe have less negates to work with). With that in play their fusion monster then becomes just a slightly more powerful Golden Lord with no effect. Basically if Skill Drain became limited/banned in Master Duels then the Eldlich fusion would see quite a bit more play.

@@astralguardian5930 I thought eldlich was in a special position since if any of your golden lords are in the grave you can pop your own skill drain at your leisure if for whatever reason you needed to get over something destruction immune

Not like "bad" per se,it's just most ppl more prefer to play pure trap eldlich with floodgates which is easier to use for them. But Mad lord is a welcomed addition for mixed eldlich,which is way more versatile deck and can catch other people's off guard with his effects

Don't know about the Eldlich-Trap monsters, but it works with the phantom knight shade trap monster. Using it in my time thief deck. so my guess is that it should work

Yeah you can it's sorta hard to get it out tho because it requires two turns to activate the guardian trap monster in order to whip out draglubion but I do run this combo with imperial order to protect guardian somewhat.

That's not needed, usually no eldlich deck uses guardian of the golden land but if you do use it then you can, it's still a time taking process since it takes 2 turns to establish two guardians of the golden land. I would suggest just to use rank 5 xyz since you got two lvl 5 trap cards which can be summoned simultaneously.

it's in the settings. turn on the "face down cards are transparent"

@@rivershen677 thank you for this.
