I see a man of culture right here

@@lorenzolombardi3369extremely popular vine

My bussy winks for you

Grr

My main goal also to give freebody for my Kashtira friend for XYZ summon, especially go 2nd

at least he is an earth machine, not a plant

Regulus is my favorite springans card

Also acting like a boss monster in Springans because they have like, 1 searcher that overlaps.

​@@Killermudkip1you mean he is your favorite rikka card

@@Illya9999he’s my favorite super heavy samurai

don't forget nemeses corridor who's only purpose is as material for the link 1 thunder dragon colossus

The Nemeses cards are perfect for this list. Keystone was played in Adamancipator decks at one point and Corridor was super popular in the OCG to make an easy Colossus. Almost every one of the 7 Nemeses cards is playable but they just never got a second wave of support that makes them a strategy on their own. It's laughable that this archetype that needs cards in the banish pile to do something has no way to get cards there.

@@NolenJacobson hard agree. I'm coping real bad that the generic rank 4 that searches any pyro that's coming out will make flag a valid link engine

Secretly Swordsoul card lol

I did, but it didn't look like they were meant to work together.

I said it but didn't make it to the video

They only have 2 cards that lock you into fusions. Its still insanely easy to make in Predaplants.

@@ThatOneWeirdFlex Obligatory "Branded Fusion is a Predaplant card". Preds have *3 cards* that lock them into fusions. lol.

Yep

Need generic removal or water-locked? Gamaciel! Countering Bird Up? Gadarla! Want to make a cohesive Kaiju deck? Good luck.

They're actually really powerful as an archetype, but they're pretty much just vanilla monsters with really good removal without the field spell or Interrupted Kaiju Slumber. Like, they barely function as their own archetype without the field spell.

The reason why kaijus don’t work as deck is they have only card to make counters. That and you can only control one of them.

Ok but have you ever actually faced one? A kaiju oriented deck can be well and truly insane, their effects are ridiculous. Gamciel is a multi omni negate, dogaran is a raigeki, Radian prints tokens, thunder king is a hard blanket and a really hard hitting dude, kumongous is an insane floodgate, and jizukiru is a conditional negate and pop.

That’s because his deck is meant to summon him but just doesn’t do it much because it’s inconsistent as hell.

Several people did. It's just not that interesting to talk about so it got left out of the youtube video.

Omega is even used in decks that don't Gamma, such as Ritual Dogmatika using it as a way to return their ED monsters to send again later.

@LadyTsunade777 Oh, 112%, it got used in every deck that ran Dogmatika Punishment, or could bin monsters from the extra deck as extenders.

Even better in MR4, where it was one of the only cards that would take itself out of the EMZ, so you could make a second extra deck play without resorting to Link monsters

@Smudges00 that's so true, you're spitting raw facts right there.

The saddest part about that is that if your making a dedicated PSY-Frame Deck, the other Psyframes make Gamma WORSE because you won't see it when you need it but you'll see one of the other, much worse and less applicable PSY-Frames instead lol

Those cards aren’t bad in the deck though.

There were a lot of cards that were not bad in their decks but better in others

What they think about those generic card that they don't slap the archetype's requirement for summon

It also was a staple in pendulum good stuff pre PePe format, since it was a reusable Omni for them

I remember that as well...whenever apex appears bad things happen

What's even funnier is Verte is ass in predaplants since all their play starters fusion lock you.

Also gives them time to cook up some support for mid archetypes for fun/rogue tier decks... but if the busted support ever gets too generic, it will show up in this video or a sequel.

Great example

I'm sure there are others, but to this day I don't use any generic Link-1s besides Link Spider and Almiraj.

@@ThermiteKittylinkuriboh and linguiriboh

Its one of those trivial optimal things too where the accesscode didn't even come up that often, but what else are you doing with your extra deck slots?

Selene is very good in Endymion tho

Selene is amazing in Endymion, if she wasn't you wouldn't have wanted more than 1

Fleur is an archetype, but there are not enough Fleur cards to make a dedicated deck.

@@Ragnarok540I feel like there’s a few archetypes like that though

I genuinely forgot kelbek & his cronies werent part of the tear archetype.

Hell I'm doing it now in a runick build, fountain goes loud when it's live for a draw 3 off your first spell activation

Yeah Lyralisc aren’t fusion summoning.

Any copy effect should not be easily accessible

​@@TheGuyWhoIsSittingyou take that back, my good sir. There's no reason to not play her in lyrilusc. She's a very good target for instant fusion.

@@mokeymokey5666 Here's the thing...just make Millennium-Eyes Restrict instead

@@kichiroumitsurugi4363 that's good for sure, but sometimes you just really need the winged beast typing for sapphire swallow and/or wing requital. Being a Lyrilusc for bird strike is nice too.

Shoutout to these adorable and slightly strange mangas of Laundry and Eldlich that (as I'd guess) spawned thanks to this synergy.

No joke saw Tear use her after Merrli was banned in MD

its the thing yugi does in the anime, they can't nerf it.

IMO they should nerf it using the LP requirement… again Make it require 1500 or less LP to use, maybe even 1000 or less

Konami just doesn't want stall to ever become relevant again, most likely because it's a terrible first time experience to go against. That's why every new, mostly irrelevant, card that could be used for stalling gets limited in some way.

@@matchanavitell that to the people who put the timelords in and their skill that makes them much better…. I’ve lost hours of my life playing agaisnt that deck.

​@@matchanaviPlus they allow Lava Golem and most of the kaijus. I guess they love some toxicity in their city.

One of the times u want a card for its cost rather than its effects In fact, u had to run a garnet for the effect since YGO doesnt have "fail to search"

Genex is now a playable deck thanks to the new support and both Undine and it’s new retrain still aren’t good in it

Magicians souls is my favorite metalfoes card :)

How would that work? Isoldes effect to not be able to normal or special the searched monster is for the rest of the turn and not while Isolde is on the field, so clearing her does not allow you to summon the searched Medraut, or am i getting something wrong?

​@@Oearli You special Medraut off the Isolde effect, sending 4 equips. But Medraut's effect requires that he be the only monster on the field. A funny combo line is Medraut->Borz->Sacred King->Extender->Link to Isolde->Use Sacred King to bring back Medraut->Use Isolde to summon Black Laund->Use Black Laund to pop Isolde for an equip->Use Sparkles to pop Black Laund->Use Medraut again. It's very VERY Niche tech. But it is funny.

@@HavenKhaos that does sound pretty sick

Only ironically

We all love

Except Vennominaga isn't apart of the venom Archetype, it's related yes, but it's jpn Kanji does not contain the characters to count it among the God awful reptile archetype

@@SuperSayianWarrior it's still clearly a part of the archetype even if it's _mechanically_ outside of it, in the same vein that black-winged dragon is clearly a blackwing card for people who love bad synchros

Also some builds of monarch, you would summon gofu and the tokens, the tribute summon kuraz over gofu, then pop the tokens to draw 2

That’s pretty greasy NGL

Seto Kaiba moment

@@RanPG stonks

Plus an extender, I forgot that

Add to that extra xyz fodder and nontuners.

Huh, I didn't stop 🤣

Yeah, why did people move on from that?

@@LazurBeemz I think it's because the main reason it was played was as insurance against handtraps, that if it wasn't needed on your turn could make an extra negate on your opponent's turn. When the handtraps that it was beating (Nib by putting up a negate in few summons before your real plays, Ash by trading 1 for 1 with it without sacrificing a play starter etc) fell out of relevance with decks like tear and kash forcing handtraps like D Shifter (can be shotgunned before the package is live, makes the bounce harder to put online) and Droll (going through the adventure line turns off your ability to search now) the package just didn't do a lot in the meta anymore- better to run targeted hate, like book or the aforementioned handtraps.

@@LazurBeemz it's simply power creep. Decks are already super resilient and consistent by themselves, if you implement the adventure engine you have to dedicate a lot of slots and you lose the effect of your normal, so you either lose consistency or hand traps to get resiliency and higher power. It's currently only used in synchron as a non-tuner engine (cause we don't have anything better lol), but for example if rise heart didn't lock you into XYZ we would play that instead

​@@LazurBeemzturns out, 1 omni negate isn't enough nowadays

Good point

Left

Don’t make my fave candy worse!

That's actually a really funny thing to call it now

still is

dragoon + REF + anaconda as well

Might as well mention hyper librarian she was a staple in synchro spam for a decade. But TG was even at their best mid overall

I'd say I play pure predaplants fairly regularly, and I'm pretty sure I've used verte one single time ever. I don't even know if it's good in the version that plays branded stuff.

Let's not forget dragoon and enforcer while that's in the mix

Tons of people posted verte in the Twitter thread. It's just not very interesting to talk about, so MBT didn't feature it in the video.

@@ParallelSync Those are actually good in their decks.

You'd need the lvl6 (Red Warg) that gets summoned off a lvl3 Resonator.

I use the lvl 8 Hot RDA way more, and it is still has a useful effect. Hot RDA Bane is a good lvl 9. Abyss is comparable how??

Kitedrake is a better Red Rose Dragon and they do not hide this fact.

@@residentgrey proceeds to look up red rose dragon

@@residentgrey first off Kitedrake is a Speedroid monster and isn't on its Forbidden and limited list, second of did you mean black rose dragon because if that's your comparison yeah, also completely different eras but Black Rose is a generic level 7 while Kitedrake needs Machine Wind monsters. Yes I have played Speedroids irl

@@Mimiyan_or_Pikapikafan It is a matter of EFFECT... You should know what I mean...

@@Mimiyan_or_Pikapikafan Plz do look up that deck. It affected the meta.

Its still a staple in HERO tho? and there's no Masked Hero main deck monster, they're not meant to be played separately from other Heroes

Dark Law is the best card in HERO.

@@mateusrp1994 There is none...but the manga does have main deck Masked HEROes, that we have not gotten yet

Damn bro you're a really strong duelist

@@LazurBeemz Not really. I just had one of the best hands ever (Adhara, Ashuna, Vishuda, Taia, Eccelisia, and a drawn Ash Blossom to blank Catty).
