@@strength5149 Same tbh, it's so funny bricking on it then flipping it when your opponent is low on life and is trying to walk over one of your guys and they just die
I love that this is the third year in a row Shark/Nasch have gotten a significant wave of character support 2022 had the Water Duelist Pack with Nasch on the cover 2023 had the Armored XYZ cards in Age of Overlord 2024 has another wave with his upgraded Shark Drake on the cover
Let's not forget that we got the best shark starter(Buzzsaw shark[and lantern shark but it isnt as good]) in 2020, and then Right hand shark and the Kragen cards in 2021
Which is why the new BlunEyes structure will include a card that banishes every monster in the backrow and every monster added to hand outside the draw phase.
I think it mostly feels artificial with blue eyes because of that one time they released blue-eyes cards specifically designed to target the best meta decks leading up to a tournament- designing it to be "meta" as opposed to designing it to be powerful which results in it being meta. That still colors the way a lot of people see the archetype.
This is an Animation Chronicle (aka Battles of Legend), which the entire selling point in the OCG is "Hey! Look! It's anime-exclusive crap we never printed before because we knew back then that it was anime-exclusive crap! Buy buy buy! (oh also there are some reprints ig idk dw abt it)"
I concur, LV monsters are a neat concept that was given a bad rap from the poor mechanic of trying to keep the monster line alive. Armed Dragon Thunder is a step in the right direction, making the climb faster and having a way to mitigate cost within the archetype. I'd like a LV archetype that are a party of adventurers who grow from their encounters, LV monsters that level up after you use effects that interact with them in some form, something their spells/traps could enable, they could also pack effects to put back higher level monsters from the hand so that they can be later summoned from deck (have a draw/search as part of the effect for doing so like Illusion of Chaos).
@@MiyaoMeow588 This was after he said "but they're not really searchable." It could have been misspeaking since he had been talking about virtue stream alongside Xyz poseidon splash but it's kinda funny
Omg yes thank you! I wish they did that with the Armed Dragons! But instead they just made an entirely new archetype instead of giving the LV new support cards.
The RUM equip spells is funny as hell since if you equipped it to Shark Drake (the OG) uses it own effect to make a second attack, then use the equip spell effect to bounce the equip spell, you can then treated it as an actual RUM by discarding it and then go into Shark Drake Leviathan for another 2 attack and then piercing lol.
look all im gonna say is the Vicious Knight floodgate effect actually kinda just hits snake-eyes and and tenpai's boards kinda well. its definitely resident sleeper for sure
The new support actually changes the Shark endboard greatly. Now we can cut the utopic future line for ED space and our board instead has a monster negate (New Veiss), Icarus Attack (Off Virtue Dragon/Stream), and a nontargeting xyz suck (Nasch Knight). You can do this all off a Buzzsaw Shark (who you'll have 9-12 copies of once we get Seventh Tachyon too)
@TheSliferSlacker199 Seventh Tachyon search Buzzsaw > Normal Buzzsaw > Buzzsaw summon Big Jaws > Make Bahamut > Bahamut detach Big Jaws to Special Virtue Dragon > Search Virtue Stream > Virtue Dragon detach from Bahmut to add back Big Jaws > Special Big Jaws, search Abyss Shark > Virtue into Full-Armored Black Ray Lancer, then into Armor Fortress > Armor Fortress Search Full-Armored Xyz and Reincarnate Unveil Mail > Abyss Shark Special, search Drake Shark > Drake Shark Special itself > Overlay Drake Shark and Abyss into OG Shark Drake > Discard Unveil Mail to overlay Shark Drake into Shark Drake Leviathan > Set Virtue Stream and Full-Armored Xyz > End Phase Unveil Mail equips onto Armor Fortress (Threw in the Armor cards because they also let you plan B Toad+Armor Line if you get handtrapped) to get the Nasch line you can just use Abyss Shark to grab Crystal Shark instead at an earlier point of the combo The combo DOES depend on you having activated a spell at some point to turn on Big Jaws special from hand. You can use Triple Tac Thrust/Talents to hit that requirement, but an upcoming card Seventh Tachyon in the LIGHT Duelist pack searches Buzzsaw, and Seventh Ascension searches that spell so you'll have 6 cards that get you Buzzsaw and turn on Big Jaws at the same time. You can also run Called By and Crossout to hit that threshold if your opponent Ashes/Veiler's you
The thing that is really funny about the Allure Queen support is that all the legacy support is basically just so they can set up the board Queen has in the anime turn 1, which isn’t shown in the actual duel. And to ‘well acksually’ MBT here, Queen doesn’t show up until VRAINS season 2, and much of the end of season 2 and early part of season 3 is writing Sol Tech out of the show since it seems like 20+ episodes were cut from what was originally planned for the final season so they just didn’t have time to wrap up the Sol Tech stuff
@@mateusrp1994 you know what everyone is talking about when they say pendulum pile, there's only 1 deck that is called pendulum pile, no one calls valmonica for example pendulum pile
As a Zombie player, the Duke needing 2 zombies is incredible when we already wanted a six star besides Garura to fuse off of ghost fusion, I would play it at one just for that, then being recursion is nice if you got hand trapped, and it gives you another normal, I’d play a 2/2 split of this and garura
Xyz Poseidon Splash is, funnily enough, searchable in Utopia off Astraltopia, which is a completely different xyz deck that also happens to like having equip cards on its xyz cards!
Unironically Altergeist Merluseek is a 1-card Golden Allure Queen since all Altergeists are Spellcasters. Normal Summon Merluseek, link off into Artemis, Merluseek search out Malwisp, Malwisp Special Summon itself and revive Merluseek. You got 3 Spellcasters for Golden Allure Queen. Is it the best thing you can be doing with Altergeist? Not really no. Is it funny? It absolutely is, and you should do it for the funnies
I'm excited for the Clear cards, I enjoy attribute gimmicks and the Clears in the anime made for a really fun duel with Atticus and Fujiwara. I know it isn't going to see play competetively but these new cards do help the deck a lot in what it wants to do and I hope we get some more. I know I'm alone in that since YuGiOh and by extension it's playerbase doesn't give a flat fuck about anything but competetive play but I'll take the free pie everyone is passing up and have some fun with the ice cube bois.
It annoys me that chat still says you can search off of Xyz Poseidon Splash with Generation Force when a new card XYZ Force has power crept that card in every way as a searcher and a Foolish Burial Goods.
True. On the other hand, since they are not and instead make you immune to clear world, you can technically run a clear world engine with other archetypes, which is kinda funny.
I imagine it’s more of the fact that when they printed Clear Vice Dragon years ago they changed his effect since they didn’t do weird effects like having no attribute back then and they just decided to stick with it for these cards.
Because sometimes archetypes end up being bad because they tried too hard to be unique. Or it could be because Vice Dragon doesn't have those effects and they didn't bother adding in a retrain. Edit: Also, the original Clear monsters had attributes even in the anime. Their effects just treated them like they didn't.
I wonder if virtue signaling dragon can be used in the Ghostrick Angel OTK. You'd somehow have to summon a rank 3 with Lyrilusc/Ghostrick in an already tight combo, but if possible it could be useful.
If people are wondering what engine to play with the new Allure queen support, just use white wood. Deck is designed to be used to quickly search a spellcaster
the 50 cards arent 50 main deck psure 40 main 10 in side probably reprints of both the synchros, twin burst, alternative ultimate, neo ultimate, old ultimate and 1-3 new extra deck cards (depending on if they add blue-eyes tyrant dragon and dragon master knight too)
Don’t know if it’s a mistranslation or not but the super poly target does say fiend and/or zombie monsters so you could theoretically fuse 4 monsters into this
Fun Fact: Ice Barrier is EVEN BETTER now assuming we get the new Full Armor guy in Battles of Legend. FBG is also just a great spell to use to get Beeg Jaws online
I feel like the clear world stuff could be annoying, Vicious Knight is a floodgate that is kinda easy to get out, clear world is a floodgate even if bad
i like how they went and said you can ONLY use the equipp effect as quick effect as if there where any other effects on there extremely known cards. and what if they decide that the cumers are so strong that they will buy out every card with a women on it and remake the original lv version and now all the effects on the retrains are quick effects. like ocerstrated babel exists and no one said its broken that a tier 1 deck has all effects as quickies on a far easier to get to card
A shame to see people hating on the clear cards so much. This was one of the archetypes from the anime that I've wanted for a super long time. Not everything needs to be meta warping
mildly annoying thing about the Clear archetype to me: why are they all DARK? if basically every monster is gonna have "You are unaffected by Clear World" in it, why tf not give actual attributes and make the monsters a little more interesting? hell, give 'em multiple attributes and play that into their effects. --- quick example --- Clear Fractal Drop LIGHT / Aqua 1000 ATK / 1000 DEF This card's attribute is also treated as WATER. You are unaffected by the effects of "Clear World", and the effects that would apply to you due to this card's Attributes are applied to your opponent. You can only use the following effect of "Clear Fractal Drop" once per turn. You can select one card in your opponent's hand and look at it, and if it is a monster, you can activate one of these effects: - Banish that monster until your End Phase. - Add one of the selected monster from your Deck to your hand. --- it's a unqiue effect that plays into its attributes and is a lot more flavorful than "lol they're all DARK ooo"
@@Xenonfuji They make the cards, there is nothing stopping them from printing cards with no attributes, just like they printed cards with no levels and cards that can't be in defense position.
@@__-be1gk if they print it like that you would have to come up with another set of rules that dictate card interaction. Not to mention you also alienate the deck best feature, being a dark deck which benefit greatly from generic dark support.
@autobotstarscream765 what does Red Eyes do There are like 10 different types of Red Eyes support cards that don't synergies together and conflict instead
Seeing back in 2015 the structure was Meta defining i have feeling it will be again. Just you watch at least for a time structure in some way will Make Blue Eyes Meta defining or at least able to compete with the Meta, Blue Eyes has such a large fan base making brand new support Konomi cant afford not to.
Reminder that the Allure Queen lady also *CHEATED* during that duel by activating a skill during a master duel. In spite of all of that, she still got folded.
Ok, all that Fish support is horrifying actually. Surface Aqua Jet is both a Surface AND an Icejade, meaning you get 2 free Water summons, and one isn't a Monster. Why is it horrifying? Gishki's main playmakers are lvl 2 Water Fish monsters. Akd all this stuff recycles them easier than any shell prior.
the shark deck is very unfortunately a going 2nd deck. with these new cards the deck's objective will be to clear the board of interaction turn 2 or 3 and hope you have enough to summon c32 leviathan and finish from that positon
-Me excited for the Clear World cards and excited that the deck got massive buffs from the anime- -mbt- decks bad and no ones excited for it and why are they even wasting paper printing it- -me, ah guess I am no one then-
Konami should just retrain all of those old @ss LV monsters just like what they did with Armed Dragons and make them way better than the Armed Dragons' first attempt......
