The reason for Valkryries not seeing much play is mostly due to their hand problem and their fairy rivals. If you wanted to run fairies you'll see just your average drytron deck which never runs out of cards in hand for perfect heralds omni negates, also you have your counter trap fairy decks that I see more often then valkyries. It would help if this comment got some likes so others can see since I'm seeing some people other than rhyme ask.

“Why didn’t it work?!?!” “Unaffected by your opponent’s spell effects” in big letters right at the beginning of the card’s effect 😂

Ash Blossom is significantly better: 1. It’s generic. Herald of Orange Light only works in a few decks. Ash is splashable. 2. Every competitive/viable deck searches or draws cards. Ash can respond to that. Herald can’t 3. Even though Ash can’t negate all monster effects like Herald can, some of the most pivotal/essential monster effects are the ones that add to hand, special summon, or send to GY from deck, so Ash can respond to those.

21:28 Valkyrie Brunhilde is unaffected by opponents spell effects, so couldn't be used as material for super polymerization

Ash is too splashable it's damn near mandatory to run, but that's just because the game is at the point where every modern deck needs to be checked or they just run rampant on turn one.

Ash Blossom literally can negate 90% of all cards in Yugioh, plus it stops combos or even the start of a combo so easily.

Bro the change of picture when C-rex was getting nuked got me rolling

Valkries require a good amount of cards on the field to be menacing but I love the archetype and was one of the first decks I built in MD

Loving the master duel content guys. Appreciate it during these hard times.

As someone who has never played Yu-Gi-Oh outside of watching these videos Ash Blossom seems like the better card. For Herald of Orange Light you need fairy monsters for it to work and that might be limiting on what kinds of decks you can put the card in. It seems like you can use Ash Blossom in way more decks and that makes it very versatile.

I'm a valkyrie deck main and I think the reasons that they're not played much is because they don't have any built in negates and they're reliant on a few cards that can get negated easily. I love them and when they work, they work insanely well. But if your search or your ride of the valkyries gets negated you can often end up in a pretty bad situation. That being said, I think they're underrated and lots of fun.

For some reason these stills of seereax are killing me! Love the stillreaxs

I was looking through KZfaq for something to watcha and this just popped up. This should be good

Yoo thats a crazy card. Skipping the opponent’s turn is wild

Still frame/Canadian South Park talking head Seereax forever. 😂😂😂😂😂 (need more of this and different versions for each emotion and/or shout/screams lol) that was hilarious. 😂😂

Even tho seereax is the supposed to be the bad guy why do I feel bad like rhymes the true villain in these duels

thank you so much rhyme. I had a bad case of ugly but after liking the video it magically disappeared!!! my life is now forever changed.

The first line of the Valkyrie you tried to superpoly with says "Unaffected by your opponents Spell effects." You didnt do anything wrong, other than not reading lol 🤣

Man I feel old. I remember when Yugioh battles used to last more than two turns.

I think a single ash blossom will have a larger impact, but also I play 3 crossout designator in almost all of my decks to negate hand traps, and I run ash blossom as well, so a herald of orange light will often times be harder to deal with because I can’t negate it even if I have crossout

That voice that SeaReax kept making had me dying of laughter

I got sooo excited because I run Valks, they can be a lot of fun! I'm far from a pro, but my opinion on why Valks don't see more play is they struggle dealing with high attack monsters and a lot of the good cards in the archetype (like the turn skip Deion used) require you to have only Valks. So it's tough to use other archetypes or extra deck monsters to fill in the decks weaknesses.

Love how am getting new info from cards I never heard of love Yu-Gi-Oh

We can’t ignore how rhyme edited how seereax talked😂😂🤝🏾

Herald of Orange Light is worse because you have to send both itself and another Fairy type to negate the activated effect, whereas Ash Blossom only has to send itself to grave in order to negate activation/effect

Been running the Valkyrie deck for a few seasons now. Glad to see it get some love

I thought Rhymes is villain this whole in this video 🤔😆 I hope you guys have awesome day. 😎

never stop master duel these vids

Serereax: are u gonna hapie feather dust me or rygeki me which one Rhymestyle: both

Lmao the fact that when SeeReax said discard a fairy. And at Fairy they brought him into the foregound for that split second. Didnt have to do my mans like that T.T lmfaooo

Seereax straight up bullying Rhyme after that loss 🤣🤣🤣

This is why Crossout and Call by the grave are such important cards. Basically if my deck can support Crossout I’ll run it.

11:35 That had me rollin lmao

Seereax is sitting there menacingly🤣

The dark timeline where Deion actually runs meta instead of optimal anime decks

0:50 hearald is too specific and -2 in card advantage but ash blossom is -1 and condition can be easily achieved

I pressed the like button did I fix my ugly?lmfao 🤣

Love the beginning 😂🤍

Why did Seereax start talking like the paradox brothers halfway through the video lol

Editor is putting in work with the SeeReax images.

I use Ghost Orge & Snow Rabbit, it's good for cards already on the field, it negates activation of monster effects and continuous spell/trap cards and destroys them. I run them in all my decks, I don't use Ash even though I could for stupid amounts of negate. Valkyries was the first deck I ever made, they're fun to use up until you reach the later Silver ranks where players only ever use meta decks. But Valkyries also need very specific hands so more often than not it can lead to bricked hands if you want to call it that. You can still get playable hands, but not enough to where you can get to take full advantage of Valkyries, Deion had a very specific combo with Athena and that's hard to achieve. I moved on and made a Kozmo deck which is leagues ahead of Valkyries and I'm able to stave off if not beat meta decks that players are so fond of. I'll still use my Valkyrie deck after a rank reset and wait a few days afterwards. That's usually when you won't come across meta decks and you can actually have fun.

4:29 Seereax laugh sounds like a scooby doo villain

Finally! Someone told me how I can stop being ugly!

rhyme is fire and always has been

When he thought he misplayed invocation he could’ve just summoned the other fusion using the dark in his graveyard lol

Canadian seereax is just cursed

Rhymestyle rocking the yu yu hakusho shirt

11:40 words hurt man 😭😭

I'd really love to see one of you use my boys odd eyes, pend magicians and performalpals.

Seereax looking like a zoom call

Also last comment. If you want to feel more evil run your sacred beast deck against his valkyries. The reason behind this is because Seereax's spell that forces his next battle phase can be negated by Cerulean skyfire just like super poly since it is a passive and not an activated effect. I would love to watch Seereax's reaction when it gets negated by Skyfire

Was that Dumbo here? lol XD 22:33

Hey read that Valkyrie card is the same name as the Valkyrie queen in GoW4 thought that was cool considering sigrun is actually second in command to none other than odins vanir wife feyja and I liked that that’s one aspect of true Norse myths that GoW didn’t change because when Freyja left vanaheim she named sigrun acting queen of the valkyries some outtakes from the differing versions of the tail the most common is that freyja used vanir magic to remove her wings and fused them into sigruns own wings to give sigrun the true power of the Valkyrie queen kinda cool

Bro this thumbnail is FIRE!

I literally forgot Ash Blossom wasn't just an orange trap card. It can actually synchro summon. Also Valkerie Brunhilde no being affected by spell cards is kinda legit.

Ash is significantly better because it's generic and can be play any deck, but orange is really great in fairy decks. It can discard a fairy card with good GY effect and have a ash and ogre simultaneous, the destroy effect it's really good.

Rhyme don’t readdddd the first sentence says “unaffected by your opponents spell effects”😂😂😂 when he played super poly I litterally said noooo

I'd love to see a tag duel with Valkyries and the Aesier god decks on the same team. Lol.

As someone who runs a ritual deck, and just recently got ash blossomed four times in two back to back matches, three of which were in the first three turns of the first match. I think I have to say that Ash Blossom ticks me off more

Gotta thank SeaReax for letting everyone know what it would sound like if Anderson Silva played yugioh

Rhyme I’m sure someone already told you, but that Valk was unaffected by spell cards, meaning Super polly couldn’t fuse it away (:

Hey Rhyme! I am really enjoying the Yu-gi-oh content, it brings back so many memories, keep up the good work! I wanted to share some of the latest duels I had; do you think I can share my ID here? You might enjoy some of the limited-One event duels 😎

The starting hand on that third duel was cancer in the best and worst ways.

Editing skills is 💯

To answer the negate question: Now, I'm not a professional yugioh player, but, herald of orange light is only crazy in a deck like drytron. Ash, can be used in almost anything. Ash feels like the obvious choice but their are specific decks where you'll wanna go for herald. It all depends. Also, ash is a once per turn and can be easily baited while orange light doesn't have that restriction, at the cost of being only usable in fairy decks, and drytron lol. I've also seen people say that ash is toxic/annoying but she can be baited out so it's more of a annoyance if you dont bait her out, but if you got more searchers you'll be fine

That's a great thumbnail

Since i found Mischeif, valkyries have been my favorite archetype and i just found out that if you use Banquet of Millions and skip the opponent turn the cards stay banished, which allow to almost always clear the entire board and otk my opponents, fun deck ;)

Could’ve called by the grave that honest in the beginning

I think the strongest negate in the game is placing your hand on your deck, as that negates the entire duel and you can do it anytime

This is seereax villain arc

Why Deion talking like the Canadians in South Park in the beginning 😭

The wrong thing Rhymestyle did with super poly was that the monster he originaly triad to use was uneffected by the opponents spel Cards and super poly`s activation Cannot be negeted nor its effect.The opponents monster effect did not stop super poly so that is the reason why things did not go your way

Photo of deion got updated ahaahaha

Purely situational honestly

1- I hate herald more 2-F in the chat for Seereax's PC playing Master Duel at 1 FPS

Deon Ungabunga the right way. Respect. :)

If you want to do angels vs fallen angels you could run Darklords rhyme! One of my favorite decks

can't believe y'all fixed my ugly just like that.

The reason super Polly didn’t work wasn’t your fault besides the fact that u don’t read. His card on the field was Valkyrie Brunhide which is unaffected by opponents spells.

This game looks like a lot of fun but then I have to remind myself that I don't know this game like that to actually build a decent deck

If you run witch's strike you can use that against herald but not ash blossom, if you don't know what witch's strike does it destroys your opponent entire hand + field if your opponent negates the ACTIVATION of 1 of ur effects

I'll say that Herald is easily more annoying and generally more effective against certain decks, but Ash Blossom is so ungodly effective at shutting down combos early on that it basically shuts down most, if not all, decks' first turns immediately. I personally play HEROs, and while Ash can't stop specialized effects like Liquid Soldier or Solid Soldier, it so easily stops my more important effects like Stratos, Emergency Call, and ROTA. Herald is more effective within its own archetype when you have a field of negates and plenty of Fairy monsters to shut down anything your opponent does, not to mention GY effects to capitalize off of Heralds' effects.

does rhyme have his deck list anywhere? his dark magician deck is insane

CHALLENGE MODE: the dumbest viable strategy deck you can think of

Deion’s photo looks like a WWE match card pic lol

Seereax makes the best content, I miss when he did more naruto. He switched up on da gang lol

Ive run Valerie's decks and even have an entire Achetype for them. There pretty flexible in turns of what exactly you want to get and Valkeries are you Friendly New beginner deck, Mischief of the time gods is incredibly good because of it's Wierd rulings of skipping the opponents turn! Basically they can't get a DPE back because there turn is auto-skipped, Valkeries however are easily Disrupted due to power-creep dispite there amazing spell cards and some Situational traps. Is cards like herald of ultimate ness that exist, that make playing Valkeries not really worth it. Is a fun casual deck to recommend, for folk. Also I've dealt with more ash blossom then i did with orange Herald mirage. Is -1(Ash Blossom) vs -2 (Orange mirage) In card advantage. So if you run Orange mirage, you best hope you make use of the -2 as it's costly. I would go more into what makes Valkeries good, expectionally with no extra deck monster (Meaning they are flexible with almost any extra deck mechanic you wanna give them mostly utopia for example.)

Valkyries don't see a lot of play because most people who play, at least on master duel, invariably play to win and so will always pick a deck that has higher chances of victory, or lockdown, or something that just stops the other person from playing so they can win. Valkyries look kinda strong OTK wise (and fun tbh), but next to meta which everyone plays they're less consistant and you'll more likely lose more than win going up against them because of mass negation, so everyone goes for the safe, samey option. Which, to be honest, has always been a thing in YuGiOh, it's just more widespread now and worse. Regardless, seeing them kinda makes me wanna run them now.

Rhyme could you give a deck list of the magician deck you made??

The reason why you couldn’t make construct in that last duel is because that specific valkyrie is unaffected by spells meaning super poly cant target it.

Ash blossom is the card I fear the most.

I think ash is better because not only does it not need anything else for its effect to work, you can also use it to start the easiest Accesscode Talker combo by using it if it happens to be dead (since you have an extra one or because the negate won't work for some reason) The utility that ash has works for a lot more than just a couple decks (like herald of orange light) Just my 2 cents though ✌🏾

i would def say ash blossom is worse than herald it stops more than just monsters and doesn't require you to play a certain type of monster to use it plus master duel has that one pack that gaurentees you get 1, so it's super easy to get

It´s always funny to hear how people pronounce german words. XD But I guess it´s also the same in reverse.^^

The Valkyrie you tried to use to make Construct with is unaffected by your spell effects

Mischief of the time Goddess is sick I've played Valkries before just for that card

You already know ash blossom is insanely popular these days and it can work in most decks. I can't make the same argument about orange light so...

Herald of orange light is worse also love your videos

Rhongo is also probably the most busted negate card currently legal in Master Duel. Going first Rhongo is auto win like 98% of the time

One of the valkyries biggest issues imo is if you get clapped by nib you're done. They also struggle with getting over any monster over, like, 2700 I think?
