Magistus Explained In 19 Minutes: Yu-Gi-Oh! Archetype Analysis 

Delilah's Devious Scheme: twitter.com/DelilahUnknown/status/1295582438945705984?s=19

So I think this archetype illustrates that the magic of the Endymion, Witchcrafter, and Invoked archetypes are all taking inspiration from this experiment, but being interpreted in different ways. Each archetype still desires to deal with these entities, but in different ways. So, obviously, this experiment was probably seen as a failure, as Zoroa is probably dead, since we've never seen him or anything similar to Vafram before. We see Zoroa being the subject of the ritual and him fighting Vafram in two separate spell cards, I'm gonna assume he's dead, or in hiding until the climax of this Magical City State story. Anyhow, starting with Endymion, he probably took this failure to heart the most, considering his in lore stance of keeping magic out of the hands of the masses and the under-qualified. He's seen what happens when inexperienced mages (like Crowley) mess with forces like this. However, Endymion himself still wants to figure it out, so he champions the development of spell-counters as a means to contain magical power. He likely believes that if they had focused the power created by the ritual into an inanimate object, it would have been easier to control, and wouldn't have summoned a giant dragon that possibly killed someone he possibly saw as a friend. This is also why he could have championed the development of the mythical beasts, as he would want to test the fusion of this power and living creatures, before he did it to a person or himself. The Witchcrafters probably had a similar theory, and thus began the development of Golum Aruru, as a vessal for Goddess Ninaruru, believing that creating a body for the entity would make it more stable, and less likely to rampage like Vafram did. I don't have much more to say on them, but it kind of connects to my side theory about Verre creating new glass bodies for herself to inhabit, giving more credence to her idea of creating a vessal for Ninaruru. To me, this explains how she would go from an adult body to a child. Maybe the glass bodies still grow, maybe she chose a child's body to hide from Endymion, who knows. Maybe Witchcrafter takes place before Magistus and Verre was just a child prodigy, hence why Endymion would want to work with her in the first place. I don't know, Verre is actually the most confusing part of all of this to me. Finally, Aleister, being the one who kept the book, probably just wants to continue studying the means of attaining this power on his own, and therefore attempts to take the entities within his own body. Ironically, he is the only one whose future archetype doesn't deal with one of the Magistus entities, because Aiwass has probably been controlling Aleister's mind the whole time, hence why the staff he wields and that we see piercing each invoked monster looks so much like Aiwass.

One of the inspirations for this deck is the concept of Guardian Deity,From The Alchesmist that Aliester is Based on.

I for one cant wait to see all the big boss Spellcasters in their crazy college years.

I also thought it was odd that Endymion was water, until I saw Zoroa, the magistus. Rilliona is light and Crowley is dark. So Endymion is water while Zoroa is fire, balance. Also you can add that Endymion is now dark because Zoroa might have died during their experiments and became dark because of it.

I think you're one of my fave YGO channels now. You did a great job explaining the archetype from both a lore and gameplay standpoint! I like the way you speak the most out of the channels I've seen which dabble into this, cus you speculate while keeping focus, but without being too stiff. AND the Witchcrafter Masterpiece parallel was something I never noticed, which, whoa. I'm even more interested in the future lore that the Magistus cards could show for all of these archetypes. Also, I laughed a bunch at the Water Endymion bits, this is good humor. Anyway, excellent video! I get good vibes from your content, even if it's not all like this.

I like how their extra deck monsters relate to the main deck monsters, giving each magician a different form of power.

Endymion being a water type does kind of make sense. Since Endymion is based on a Greek myth involving the goddess of the moon, and the moon controls the tides, there is some reason to make him a water type. That's how I'm choosing to interpret it, anyway.

Damn, the lack of Spellbooks/Prophecy references in this archetype really bummers me, it seems that something is missing... Btw smol Aleister best Aleister

We still miss one of the cards in the monster line up for the archtype and i suspect that he either rouge of endymion or their friend that died which made Alister go insane or something like that... We will see what the lore brings soon...

As a Thelemite "the religion founded by Aleister Crowley" I just wanted to mention that Crowley believed that Aiwass was his holy guardian angel and claimed to receive the contents of the book of the law in Cairo Egypt from him through automatic writing.

I have PTSD from that one time I lost against Cyberdarks when I was playing traditional format Zoodiacs whenever I see the word "Equip" on a monster card. Look, I wasn't expecting Final Destiny to be played on my opponent's first turn going second. The worst thing was that he top decked Pot of Avarice next turn...

WELCOME BACK!!! Glad I found your channel. Best channel for lore, and archetype explanations. Great for catching up on things I missed since I’ve been off the game for years. Keep up the excellent work! Keep it up ✌🏼❤️

Long live Madame Verre. Yes,I'm a simp for her. But seriously, I like how diverse the 3 are. While Aleister was seeking to explore spells, Endymion was hoping to achieve more power for himself, and well, Verre looks like she likes to nap a leave the work to her girls and only show up when needed.

Great video! I really enjoy your Explained videos! The mix of both lore and gameplay is really interesting!

It's been 84 years since I saw this good content turns out not hitting the bell is really a crucial thing. I have alot of content to binge watch cheers my guy. Also thanks to Delilah to mention your name.

3:00 For me it's obvious magistus members were working together to aquire the power of certain entities (equip extra deck monster) but one of them (fire one) decided that absorbing them is smarter and they had to stop him. Then they broke up. Alister wanted to try absorbing them and it went wrong, Verra fu#ked up and she is kid now, Endymion destroyed his body and now he have to were his armor/mask all the time.

15:44 There is, if your deck's primary goal is to do anything but synchro summoning, you can equip Shooting Quasar Dragon, then send it to the graveyard by any means to trigger the floating in Shooting Star Dragon

Seeing Smug Loli Verre always gives me......... conflicting feelings.

So, I've been studying the arcane for a while and just wanted to comment on Endymion. His attribute being WATER might be caused by 2 things, 1. It's a play on Artemis being the moon and how his magic relates to lunar energy. And the opposite of the moon is the sea 2. Water is above the "Abyss" in magical thinking so as he went deeper, his attribute reflected that too Also considering Zoroa is the only card relating to a monotheistic tradition, it might be a story on how Zoroa was banished because he wanted to either expose or reform things. And no one likes a revolutionary, but we'll need much more, but that my theory

The lore If this, and all of those in this clusterfuck of a card group is incredible and i love every piece of these cardboard pieces

Since the younger endymion is a water maybe it's an older blue boy

Okay so from this original magistus group we can see that Endymion went on to create all the spellcounter cards with Selene and make the mythical beast monsters, we can see Verre went on to continue whatever this magistus group hoped to achieve (seemingly making some form of body this could allude to the end goal of alchemy making the rebus or rebis aka the Magnum opus or great work a perfect soul combining male and female aka a god ) using her alliance or control over the witch crafters using either Ninaruru or the lessons she learned there going forward and dwelling in the citadel of Endymion to do so some of the witchcrafters even join the Endymion archetype , we have nothing on zoroa so I wonder if he died originally fighting and taking out vahram… and we also have aleister who went onto invoke many more spirits and monsters seemingly in the name of aiwass as he wears symbols inspired by aiwass and whenever he invokes a spirit you can see aliester use the symbol of aiwass to control them, which is seemingly a large component of whatever the magistus hoped to achieve but he fails and gets corrupted and either after his corruption or during his corruption manages to found the spellbook prophecy archetype and the fool character goes onto mess with that storyline becoming the reaper and the heriophant I think there is also the rivalry between the spellbooks and Endymion’s forces as they’ve seemingly battled in the past … it seems zoroa is the only missing piece to this spellcaster world building atm but tbh I love all this so much the lore is fantastic

“Generally vibing “ cracked me the hell up

so much myth's connected with this deck. a Endymion card with a moon card is a nice touch.

I think the engine is good in Windwitch. They can function as Small World bridges if you don’t open with Ice Bell, and the fourth main deck name, Zoroa, is a Tuner that can Summon Glass Bell from hand or the graveyard.

I need a magistus/endimion/invoker/wichcrafter/prophecy deck that will be a mess but will be so fun as a lore decj

Great video! Keep up the good work.

I actually did try Witchcrafter Magistus and it did pretty well Especially Zoroa since he can take Vahram to the extra deck and just destroying I've met herald drytron and I just blew his Herald 3x times and make him surrend I also meet with numeron that summon Infinitrack and just blew it up with Vahram Vahram equip effect is nuts

Armory Arm is a synchro that equips onto monsters, their are multiple numbers that can equip to other monsters

I was looking for a good way to use Theurgy's weird equip effect. I think what you're meant to do is equip a sent to the graveyard effect monster and then have endymion pop it for hand manipulation. But it's tough running pure magistus.

10 months in and there's still no clarity towards the Magistus' objective(s). Hopefully we get to see more answers as to who Zoroa is, also Vahram looks like a Fire King High Avatar (not to mention that it also has a Nuke effect like Garunix).

I think the water attribute of Endymion it's actually (besides not to overlap with crowley like you said) in reference to their synchro monster that hasn't been revealed, and i mean that it will be the original rouge of endymion, so far we've got the identities of servant (genni) and reflection (selene) so id be really cool to see what's the deal with them. Maybe Endymion and rogue were best friends and something happened between them and Endymion wen full emo and became dark attribute. This archetype opens the gates for so much more cool stuff they could do, like hopefully a wind attribute precursor of the spellbooks and an earth attribute younger version of magical exemplar/abductor

im probably wrong but didnt Witchcrafters invent spellcounters? I catn seem to remember where I heard it from but I heard someone say it and I just seemed to believe it so Magistus Endymion not using spellcounters sort of make sense

I think the 4th member is base on the ritual monster legendary flame lord

Endymion getting married to Selene is in greek mythology, Endymion’s Reflection is Selene I think.

I believe that the Invoked archetype came before the Spellbook Archetype, because after a particular incident Alistair Went insane and was captured by Augoeides which trapped in within as the first Propheseer and Augogeides became the spellbook tower. and the Book of law was broken down and rewritten into the many spellbooks of La Maison. also the Magistus was archetype seems to be more like an adventuring magic party practing their spells and rituals, with the new Zoroa, the Magistus Confligrant Calamity, it seems that perhaps after this event and the combining of one of the magical gods and one of their party, they had an arguement about how magic should be handled and went different ways. though it seems mostly like it was more just Crowley wanted to experiment with summoning while Endymion felt that more control needed to be maintained and Verre went with him.

we need a huge lore story...magistus invoked prophecy Endymion witchcrafter... still not sure what happened to the three of them

I think it's time you update this video just saying because new support 👌👍

15:05 The red guy's back. Right there in the centre

Welp, my monster of a spellcaster deck is about to get stronger

why i cant load the video? its broke or something?

* inhales * . . . . . AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Y'all know I love these videos normally but with all this lore stuff explained in the beginning this one's especially 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌 Plus that perfomage idea is pretty big brain I might have to steal that for my Magistus deck 👀👀👀 Also idk what y'all mean if I was an ancient deity looking to pass on some forbidden magic I'd totally give it to some 12 year old w early evil bastard energy

that big ol' synchro dragon looks like they belongs in Fire Kings what with the blue and yellow feathered wings and the gold jewelry/armor.

why do you think endimyion is water attribute? to extinguish the sizzling serpent of course

I'm trying to decide whether magistus is more black clover or fairy tail?

This video needs an update. Also, I thought all the Magistus came out in Genesis Impact

Me litterally watching this video at 12:02: 😅😨😰😱💀

I think it's pronounced Ma gi stus. Also welcome back!

10:10 GoldenNova has future in light novels?

Video is broke or something I've been trying to watch it for days now and it's won't work it's the only video that does this too

I ended up getting one of their boss monsters on accident.

as a dragon user i read vafram and thought. Huh, indirect redeyes slasher support... LETS GOOOOOO

Spellcasters cinematic universe

When pondering the second effect of Theologia Magistus I immediately thought of the Synchro Monster Armory Arm, only to realize it has to equip via its own effect to get the bonus. However, being a level 4 that can special summon itself from the equip zone I think has a LOT of potential with making Ninaruru's. If we can get armory arm back from the grave in the same turn we can equip it using its own effect.

“There’s not a single extra deck monster I can think of that gives you benefits for being equipped” Rhapsody in berserk- am I a joke to you?

Seto Kaiba Ego!!!!!!!!!!

Black Clover deck

Kkkk, fire jokes.....
