I Gave Every Yu-Gi-Oh GX Character a New Deck! 

*Alright, I'm certain I missed some super obvious modern deck pick for at least one of these Yu-Gi-Oh GX characters, so lay it on me!* 👇🏾 Modern Decks for original DM characters - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xd7XZCSoXxM.html

I would have lowkey gave Syrus the rescue-ace deck not gonna lie.

I honestly think Kaiser would play Infernoids. They are big, scary, machine dragon type things plus with 'grass' he could definitely pick out 50 cards from his deck and just toss them to the wind like in the anime

11:13 I actually use a Madolche deck on Blair in Duel Links, even though her only skill support is for her Maiden in Love archetype ftmp. So that just feels the best fit imho.

You should check out what decks Duel Links does for some becuz they do reference some things nowadays! Hassleberry was given Jurrack focused things actually! Honestly its half about the playstyle and themes. Not just a theme. Like some people said, Fur Hires could work for Jesse cuz the playstyle is similair to CBs. Chazz would go for Sprite or Thunder Dragon like you said cuz he likes to Block and Board Wipe. Alexis=Mikanko works for her style of using your plays against you for massive damage. So, I think you're on point with these, Jaden would make HERO builds with those decks, and Syrus fusions have ambulances and combinations so he would like Rescue-ACE, dont think Gizmek fits him much at all.

Yo, not gonna lie I would’ve bet so much money on you giving Jaden at super quantum. It’s a superhero deck. They have a wing kuriboh and Alfin. And white layers kind of a perfect neos clone

Which character would get Nekroz. I don't think any character in the OG or GX got given that as an option.

So for Jaden, I always thought a world chalice deck would suit him pretty well. A deck with heroes who combine to become stronger extra deck monsters. Instead of meeting the Neo Spacians during the society of light arc, he could’ve met the Mekk-Knights instead. Instead of evil heroes, he would have the Knightmares.

Bastion and Mathmech is the biggest "no shit" of the whole video

Since you gave drytron to zane, a good fit for syrus would be ursatic Is the "lesser" brother of drytron, more gimmicky rather than powerful, with cuter visuals (specially on the bosses) There's even a weird fusion monster between both decks

Syrus I think would work with Gold Pride. It just feels right. I actually would give Chazz Spright as his "main" deck. A big part of why he shuffles his decks around but keeps Ojama as a core is because of their versatility and ability to splash in his other strategies, and Spright seems up his alley since it can be combined with "literally any set of Level 2 focused decks." And it keeps his Thunder themeing. Alexis I would probably go for Mikanko, a large part of her GX decks are that she has some cards that are based on dancing and gymnastics but the Cyber Angels are Ritual monsters based on Shinto gods. So why not Mikanko, a Ritual Deck that is based on Shinto priests and involves dancing? Blair just for the Tag Force reference is mandatory to play Lightsworn. Banner being all about alchemy I could see getting Eldlich, since that also is an alchemy deck. Or Invoked could work if the concept is to match his ideal of being an occultist seeking knowledge, and you wanted to focus on a versatile strategy with multiple attributes. Darkness, I want to say Shaddoll. In terms of his philosophy of individualism bringing suffering, play style involving set cards, and in-story abilities of possession, Shaddoll seems like a good fit.

I really wanted Jaden to have Super Quants like the thumbnail suggested.

Blair later evolves her deck to mainly run a Charmer deck. So her deck type is basically cute girls who gain strength from each other. I think Witchcrafter would suit her.

also, Chazz's title in the japanese dub is Manjyome THUNDER. he would absolutely play that up with Thunder Dragons.

I feel like lightsworn would be perfect for sartorius. the light theme fits very well and the mill aspect could be tied to some destiny/terror card reading things

Banner's overall theme is alchemy, which means his best match would be Eldlich - the Eldlixir cards reference the same alchemical process some of his anime-only cards do, plus being zombies nod towards his inproperly-alive status.

the fact you didn't think of Prophecy for Sartorius hurts me inside. It's literally based on the same theme of the major arcana.

Shame that there probably won't be Modern Deck vids on Zexal, Arc-V or VRAINS since Paul and Alec have admitted to not watch much of those shows... Totally unrelated video series idea for APS Amplifier: Paul and Alec react to Zexal, Arc-V and VRAINS! (If it's too much, I'll settle just for Zexal since it's peak)

Ancient Warriors would be very entertaining and flashy. Creatively finding solutions and ways around any villain of the weeks decks as well as adapting to and out playing the rest of the cast's various styles of play. They also would fit Jaden's honorable hero's journey/story arc style and personality. Every game would feel unique and fun to watch.

Thunder dragon feels right for a Chazz serious deck. But I definitely was thinking sky strikers for Alexia surprised you picked that!

Bastion wrote equations on cards, he would definitely go for Mathmechs. And thunder dragon is perfect for Chazz when you consider that in japanese there is kind of a thing with "Manjoume thunder".

Blair would probably play Madolche or other cute stuff. During her second showing she used a Mystic Deck and in the games she just played Lightsworns.

Judai would absolutely play tearlament because it's got "miracle" top decks, fusion from the graveyard, and an answer to every game state, just like how Kaiser Ryo tells him the heroes have "infinite potential"

I think Blair Flannigan's best deck would be Mikankos as they are all about taking control of opponents monsters and using equip cards I really like the libromancer pick for Jaden tho great video!

Unchained actually fits Yubel super well in my opinion. Great vid as always

If they make another Legacy of the Duelist type game, it'd be awesome if they had "challenge decks" like this for every character, like they did in that game but more competitive.

Let syrus play ANY deck at this point. Vehicroids are such an unserious and unthreatening group of monsters lol

Fur Hires also come to mind for either Jaden or Jesse; I’ve always found the card art for them to have a lot of personality as if you could see each one of them being a Duel Monster Spirit, and Beat (or Filo) specifically feel like they occupy a similar “cute small monster mascot” niche to Winged Kuriboh or Ruby Carbuncle. Plus, their strategy really pushes swarming the field and obtaining beneficial effects from being together, so they really feel fitting towards Jaden/Jesse’s ideas of friendship and teamwork.

I love that you guys give them completely brand new decks instead of just 2024 upgrades to the decks that they have in the anime like other channels. Really great work, guys. 💚👍🏾👏🏾

I never thought about Drytron being Zane’s deck but that does make a lot of sense. Bc of the card design of the Tenpai dragons, and that they’re a going second beatstick heavy deck, I had an idea that Zane would play Tenpai. Also I really wish Cyber Dragon got support in Duelists of Brilliance. Oh well…

Alexis would get Ursarctic and Drytron from me. She has that Cyber-Theme with her original Deck, so some more Machines and Ritual Monsters that go into the future with Synchro's fit really well.

I really like the idea of Chumley using Melffys. Especially with their very pastel watercolor-ey art style and Chumley's affinity for card art/design.

The only thing that I would change is for Sartorius to have Spellbooks/Prophecy. Your uploads always bring a smile to my face. Thank you.

I got started into Yugioh recently because my girlfriend played long ago. So I chose ancient warriors and only playing them. They're such a beautiful and wonderful archetype. Thanks for adding them into this video! I'm biggest Ancient Warriors fan!

Darkness, the big final boss, used a basically all trap deck, and would set 5 every turn with a 0 and Infinity and card, I definitely think lair of darkness is fitting but I would almost prefer if he could use some of the ZARC stuff, since he's supposed to be a manifestation of everyone's self doubts and existentialism about the future

I kinda like Heroic Champions deck for Judai. Especially since he loves dueling with less than 500 life points most of the time lol. Also has a high chance for OTK and when Judai came back from fusing with Yubel he had a couple of OTKs. Also Heroic has Hero in it lol.

Imagine if Konami took an actual game from a YCS or worlds or something, and gave the two decks to a couple characters and went and fully animated the entire duel. Like imagine a full power spright vs tearlament matchup, or the dragon link vs swordsoul game of 2023 worlds. Even if it's just one game from the match, that'd be so sick imo.

I think that another Deck for Sartorius that could technically work is Spellbook, since their monsters are also named after Tarot cards, like the Arcana Force

I wold give Jaden a modern ninja deck

I genuinely appreciate how you take the effort and go the extra mile to figure out what deck they'd play instead of just going with the easiest copout answer anyone could come up with

honestly im surprised you didn't give Blare Dragonmaids tbh. Using powerful maids that then turn into dragons just seems right to me. And they are fusions so totally fits GX's theme

Honestly could easily see Jaden playing Super Quantum Going from Marvel Heroes to Super Sentai Rangers, would be pretty funny

Hey Paul, would love to see an Ashened deck duel! A bunch of us Dark Souls fans got interested in yugioh again because of the really cool theme. Keep up the great work guys!

Super Quants in the thumbnail, no Super Quants in the video... My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.

If I was to give Alexis an Archetype I’d have given her Dogmatika. The female warriors works well with Alexis, and it keeps the ritual summoning part of her original Cyber Angel cards.

I don’t know why but Eldlich is came up my mind when u mention ancient golem. I think crowler can use eldlich, he also use trap monster like stuff and he have his ace fusion card.

I really like this idea, it makes me wanna see a short anime series of the previous Protagonists doing this

I think Paleozoics makes more sense for Jim because they are basically fossils as well. I like your picks alot. Also Bastion has played Magnet Warriors at some point. So he could have modern magnet warrior/ABC? Not sure about that one

For Jaden, definitely super quant, they are also heroes, work to combine. all that good stuff For Syrus, i'd go for Geargia it definitely has the goofiness akin to the roids, but if i'm being honest, anything else is better Alexsis, I think what you chose works, but mikanko does feel a bit better to me. Blair, Dream mirrors definitely feel like the wave there Sartorious, Surely you go prophecy

Funny that you end op droping this video today, because just two days ago i watcht your part one with the DM chareckters, and i loved it better than all the other versions of this topick, that other Yugi tubers had made, to the point that i thought, this guy does it better than the others, that has tacklet it, thoug if i could give one critic thoug, it would be that you dont alwas show artwork of the archtypes you put on the charekters, wich can end op with me thinking “what was that archtype again” F.eks in the last video you gave the Paradoks brothers an archtype i dident know, and couldent find when seartching on RU-vid, thoug you missed to do it only a few times, so the critic isent that Big, also maybe fore your next “what alternative modern decks would these charekter’s play video” you could do the rest of the DM chareckters you dident cover. Chareckters you missed like • Mako Tsunami • Duke Devlin • Panik • Rebecca Hawkins Viertual World charekters like • Noah • Gozaburo • The Big five Avakening of the dragons charekters like • Datch • Raphael • Valon • Alister And the turnament arc before the final Arc (dont remember its name) • Zigfried • Leon I get why you dident cover Thea and Tristan, there not really duelist.

Jessie could also play snake-eyes with flamberg dragon replacing crystal beast dragon and the mechanic of putting cards in face up spell and trap zones like the crystal beasts

I think Chazz would have Duston as they are closer to the Ojamas, same stats, swarm opponents board and make it harder to summon, and have a big beater boss monster in StarDuston who shares his signiture black color.

I don’t want to be rude or anything and this is just my honest opinion but I would’ve probably given sartorius a spellbook prophecy deck since it has the same tarot cards as arcana force

I would say a fun deck for Jaden yugi for super quantum being based on power rangers/ super sentai being kinda like Jaden’s hero’s

For 5Ds Yusei- Visas Starfrost Jack- Snake-Eyes Aki- Fire Kings Crow- Floowandereeze Leo- Dinomorphia Luna- Vaalmonica Kiryu- Runick (it's just like hell) Sherry- Quit the game because her favorite card got banned

I think geargia would fit cyrus pretty well. Cute little machine guys that combine into larger robots

That intro though haha. Staring right into my soul.

Regarding some of the choices. Judai/Jaden's whole thing is a kid/teenagers growing into an adult. So Ancient Warriors fit this, they fit an kid/teenager growing into an adult, with first being attract it because they are cool, and later on because they represent what he believes. Sho/Syrus, ironically, i think that the Rescue-Ace fit him, not because they are powerful, but because they fit him trying to be helpful but initially not knowing how and slowly but surely grows into it. Johan/Jesse ironically, i do think that Crystrons fit him, because the small monster of it do fit with it. They fit with the idea of the crystal beast, then Purrley. Because his thing is family and family helping each other to be better(Synchro) fits with him, reason to why the Crystal Beast stay on the S/T zones. Saoi/Sartorius no, Lightswarn, especially having in mind season 4, where they Twilight version of them fits him too.

Sartorious' best choice imo is Qli, they're based on Kabbalah iirc and that was the same base for the Arcana, if I'm remembering Persona 3 right lmao. They also have that final boss vibe and godly being aesthetic. Apoqliphort Towers felt like a legit anime boss whenever I had to take that down back in the day.

This is the earliest I’ve been

I was thinking Libromancer worked for Jaden, and I think that giving Aster a ritual deck makes that a stronger pick! I feel like a case could have been made for Syrus to get Infinitrack and for Crowler to get something else, but I admittedly can't think of something better for Crowler, so it's whatever. If you want to keep the Tarot theme for Sartorius, you could give him Prophecy/Spellbook!

Cant wait for the 5DS episode!!

NGL I love how incredibly knowledgeable you are about yugioh overall but I just like hearing your voice say nerd things I love thanks for being you and making videos

I think Jaden would play Superquantals. And maybe Vendread as Supreme King?

And like Vendreads, the Edgey Anti-Hero will be put down to the ground faster than you can say “what the r f***?!”

I love these picks! Also thank you for playing the Amber Mammoth clip. 😂

I think Jaden plays Sky Striker or Ninja

where did Bonaparte go? He had a toy based strategy and would like to say that he is a sort of a strategist. The Zombie Madness would most likely fit him the most

bro forgot about Atticus just like Konami forgot about him in duel links

Modern decks for 5Ds characters when?

I love ancient warriors for Jaden

Waiting Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal

I was thinking Rescue Ace for Cyrus and Voiceless Voice for Alexis. And actually, Memento fits Chazz since he gathered everyone else's thrown-away cards.

Please do a 5ds episode of this

I know this isn't about a yugioh gx character but as i was thinking as i was watching. if you were to do this with 5ds. To me a perfect fit for Jack Atlas woukd be the new tempai dragon deck from legacy destruction. Cause there all dragon types monsters. Their fire attribute which goes with his personality and when he summon his scar red nova dragon in the dub. he talks abour his raging/burning soul which intertwins with the fire atrribute of the archetype. Plus jack's agreesive, always wanting to attack, confidence and his ego espically in the first half of the season fits well with tempai dragon agressive, beatdown and constant attacking fits him the best. Thoughts?

I feel like Jesse would play snake eye cuz of the whole continuous spell similarity with crystal beasts. For axel I feel Laval or flamvell. For sartarious I think he would play spellbooks. For Blair I agree with your choices but I feel she could also play rikka.

When Larry’s hole?

Jaden would probably play Yubel, it was his favorite card. Or a heavy fusion deck like Branded. Branded have such a main character Judai energy its crazy, Albaz effect even is a super poly at home and that card was such a important part of the show.

Such a neat concept :)

Now go for 5ds !!!!!!

Zane actually stated he wanted to try a level up deck near the end. But yeeaaah, don't really see it lol. Drytron would be far more reasonable. Or maybe some sort of rank-up

Jessie should have admancipators💎

I thought that Blair would have Mikanko cause they're maidens that can steal monsters.

Maybe it's just me but vanquish soul feels like a Jaiden deck. The fact that they're based on fighting games make them fit in perfectly to something jaiden would be interested in.

Awesome!! Looking forward to the inevitable 5Ds video lol

For Darkness I'd say Dark world... It kinda just feels right at first glance, however I haven't really watched this season of GX enough, so idk. Other than that great video! I never in my wildest dreams imagined to be this good and thoughtful!

I’m actually writing a fanmade Yugioh series that’s a sequel to GX. Here’s the Decks everyone plays; Protagonist; SPYRAL Best Friend; Mekk Knight Invoked Supporting Friend; Shaddoll Invoked Strong Female; Lunalight Rival; Dinos

For Jaiden/Judai, I have another idea His theme along with heroes is fusion, specially since Super Polly is HIS card,, not only that, but also adventure and discovery, with a second deck for his darker side So what about Jaiden/Judai having an Albaz deck, having a bit of Tri-brigade too While Supreme King would have the Despia variant Essentially Fallen of Albaz would be Jaiden/Judais Ace and Aluber would be Supreme King

Manga chazz with light and darkness dragon, it’s counterparts etc. I can see him playing felgrand alongside them. With the new manga chazz support coming out lately. I can definitely see him with those. Thunder dragon is another great pick for him though

I think the Memento archetype would suit Chazz pretty well. Summoning weak monsters, only to destroy them right away in order to bring out his boss monsters seems right up his alley. For Alexis, I'd pick Mikanko. Seems like they would fit both her aesthetics and high-risk playstyle. An obvious pick for Jesse would be Majespecter. For Axel, it would have to be Ignight.

With Zane using Drytron how about giving Syrus Ursarctic due to their relationship and the fact that Syrus eventually merges their two decks. With Jaden, I think Libromancer is probably best If we're going for a more modern Tarot deck for Sartorious then Prophecy is probably the best option. For Amnael, I think Eldlich would suit him.

I'm shocked you didnt conaider flower cardians for sartorius or mikanko for blair. Sartorius bringing a third card game to the table is deeply funny to me but Blair moving on from "Oh no you *can't* hit me..." To "I'm going to make you hit me so hard you die" is exactly how I expect her growing up to have gone

For Jessie I would say Mekk Knights. They have Mekk Knight combined into Spectarum Supreme and like Dark Crystal Beast they Have Knightmare as Dark version of them since Knightmare are made with Mekk Knights Crystal core.

I was thinking Jaiden would have an Empowered deck since the Empowered Warriors have the Super Sentai/ Power Rangers look to them. And Chazz would prolly use a Duston deck for comic relief.

Tbh, I'd say that Jaden should've had a Yubel deck (since Yubel is his bae monster, plus it's actually a strong deck with good playmakers now) and that Darkshroud (The Darkness) should've had Darklords, since it's the Lord of Darkness after all, and the Darklords being its servants would make perfect sense.

I feel like Jesse could also play a memento deck. Rainbow dragon requires 7 different crystal beasts on your field/GY. Combined Creation requires you to bring back 5 different Memento monsters from your hand/gy. Given that he has a strong bond, bringing back his monsters from the graveyard to bring out his strongest monster feels even more fitting than rainbow dragon. The sacrificial effects also represent his own self sacrificial nature as is shown in the anime.

I would have been interested in keeping with Chazz's manga deck which is based around LADD, so a Thunder Dragon Chaos deck would suit him quite well I think. Tearlaments seems to fit Alexis well aesthetically taking her manga deck which was based around ice queens into consideration, though she does strike me as more of a control player than an aggro player based on the spotty memory I have of the manga and no knowledge of the anime I have. For Sartorius, I think that Flower Cardian might fit his Tarot thing pretty well, going from one alternative card... thing... to another. I was liking the idea another commenter gave of giving Syrus Ursarctics since the connection to Zane's deck is there while being the lesser version. For Blair, if we're talking about stealing opponent's monsters and using them against them, Mikanko is a pretty easy shoe-in for that slot seeing as it has an archetypal snatch steal and is based around redirecting the power of the monsters they attack into. If we take issue with using them because they were assigned to another character in DM (it's been a bit since I watched the first video and I forget if they were already assigned), then you'd have to cut prank-kids out of the runnings for Chazz since they were assigned to Pegasus last video.

"Jesse, Jadens rival..." Bruh, you didnt just call two boyfriends rivals... honestly. The more i think about my past relationships the more it actually fits.

I enjoy playing stuff that I find fun I've got a few compived decks but more fun people have enjoyed playing my compivited decks just as much as my fun decks
