INVOKED [D.I.D.S] - Ten Minute Testing 

"eh, im already playing invoked, may as well embrace full degeneracy"

Nice thumbnail

i love yugioh

It's not full drytron board if they can only negate 3 spells. Unless drytron boards are that much worse than endymion.

@@GodzillaFreak it kinda is giving that eva was limited and the only other forms of negates you have is appollousa

@@Hella_Animations Eva being limited doesn’t matter. Drytron now makes hip hoshinigan to pop it with DPE to Re-Add Eva to hand.

Not a full drytron board. Drytron is now 5 Omni negates, DPE and scythe lock.

And if anything it's better now

Farfa changing name to mechaba as we speak

I mean, according to the RL Aleister Crowley, Aiwass told him with the The Book of The Law (referenced in Magistus Invocation): "Do whatever you desire", so he choose fuse with anything but DIVINE.

"summon all kinds of monstrosities" Do you mean mechaba pass

the mistake was almiraj and gardna enabling the best invoked monster to be easily summonable through a one card combo, MBT here mentions that Nibiru is light because for a while having lights mattered for shaddoll (construct) and invoked (mechaba) but like your handtrap attributes don't matter when links are free to summon. If Aleister weren't a one card combo he simply wouldn't be played, if for example gardna had not been printed even, we wouldn't have this ongoing meme of him being the go-to NS for 5 years, that meme would only begin existing once Artemis was released, that's about 4 less years, but ygo players tend to focus on the wrong cards to ban anyways, so I guess I can't expect much from them when they clamor for Aleister's ban as if suddenly other NSummons will look better in comparison (spoiler alert, they don't, basically it's just brave token, that's pretty much the only NS I can imagine on a similar power level) but of course instead of complaining to konami about how so many archetypes get crap normal summons, it's easy to hyperfocus on hating on archetype and blame it for all the problems that Konami cooked into insert fav archetype here

I like fusion decks. They're retro

The drawback of the engine has always been the load of extra deck space it takes up, really limiting what you can play with him. Unless you run a small list of Fusions making his recouring use less effective.

At the very least then maximus becomes slightly wonkier to play in the deck? But yeah alubert could easily become the next best normal summon for decks that don't special from the extra anything besides fusions

Aleister is THE splashable engine

I mean it’s amazing that he last this long but… good? It’s boring af to see people just throw it in every single deck that doesn’t use their normal summon and makes any deck it’s in just be boring too.

I also do like it when old cards resurge to relevance unexpectedly, like token collector, forbidden chalice, vylon cube. But sometimes archetypes as strong as aleister end up restricting card design to "you're either much better than aleister as a normal summon or you aren't played", so I think it could be cool if they just gave the engine a slap on the wrist with like meltdown to 1. It opens up to other strong normal summons like pay reflector, which depending on the match up can be any synchro from lvl 5 to 9, which include Draco berserker of the tenyi, omega, Shenshen, wolfaryet or whatever you may want.

You should know cause you won against Alex due to NS Aleister

It would've probabily baited veiler and make ttt live

@@andreabuzzolani7205 Exactly. And the Prosperity hurt a lot just doing 3 probably makes him win the match

It got severely power crept by Tearlaments Ishizu by 1000 x so its never getting hit.

Care to elaborate? I didn't know what that was referring to.

is it the the artist behind EATEOT

@@UsernameyMcUsernameFace the caretaker was the alias for a musician best known for a 6-part album conceptualizing dementia and how one's mind works when affected by this evolving, terminal disease.

Mechaba also gets rid of DPE because it banishes instead of destroying

MBT always banishes 6 for no reason other than being extremely greedy. Banishing 3 is fine to find one of your 15 one-card starters (3 each of meltdown, aleister, nadir, ecclesia, fusion destiny + terraforming) and then you haven't lost almost half of your extra deck in the process.

@@EpicKingofFail This feels redundant but what I'm saying is that Prosperity is a dogshit card, especially in a deck where 15 Extra Deck slots are already too tight.

@@novarajna8047 nah you want to be able to dig for answers to various decks, especially games 2 and 3 when you want to see the cards you sided in

@@EpicKingofFail your answers should've been in the Extra Deck, had you not banished them with Prosperity. Invoked Dogmatika has always been a PROACTIVE strategy, not reactive.

​@@novarajna8047 The cards that get you to the extra deck are in the main deck and prosperity allows you to play through hand traps after you get hand trapped by fetching you what you need to keep going. Not only that, but like said before its get you your side deck cards and cards like evenly or tcboo are way more powerful then extra deck options. Ive been playing this deck for like 6 months now and like to think im good at it, and prosperity is amazing in this deck because you have so many cards that are just 1 card starters. The 15 cards in the extra deck are tight yes, but you dont need them all every game (most of the time at least). options people play like raidjin and omega and extra engine cards like the second mechaba and construct can usually be banished and it not be too punishing. Basically the card is good. very good infact.

No mechaba is fine, probably one of the fairer omni negates. The issue is that with the arrival of link monsters like the Magistus link 1 and almiraj it has become a 1 card combo that recycles itself. Interrupt it? Doesn't matter, they still have 4 cards in hand.

@@sirernest546 yeah aleister is way too good with dognatika monsters.

@@user-fe6uq1bl8v exactly, every time a see Allister summoned I groan but when I see nadirs servant activated afterwards I die a little inside.

I agree. It's not too spammy and i like how Aleister's power is basically to search Polymerization and be recoverable. Also Fusion cards are one of my favorite and its cool how one card can make them playable

Same

Both Both are bad
