THE MOST INFURIATING DECK EVER MADE (to me) [Yu-Gi-Oh! Archetypes Explained: Altergeist] 

IT'S HERE!!!

Altergeist truther here. There is one potential use for Haunted Rock that enables a quick OTK combo that ends on Hextia pointing to Memorygant specifically because you can flip Haunted Rock the turn it was set by Marionetter. I'm not saying it's optimal or anything because drawing Haunted Rock is the worst feeling in the world, but it's there. The combo is: Activate trap on opponent's turn, summon Multifaker Multifaker summon Melussek On your turn, link both off for Hextia Meluseek search Pookuery Link Pook + Hextia into Primebanshee Chain 1 Hextia, chain 2 Pook so you can chainblock the search Hextia adds Marionetter to hand Summon Marionetter, setting Haunted Rock, then activating it by discarding the Pook Marionetter sends Haunted Rock to revive Hextia Link Marionetter and Primebanshee into Memorygant so it's being pointed to by Hextia (adding multifaker to hand with Primebanshee for next turn, just in case) This'll give you a memorygant and a Hextia with a buttload of attack, so you can attack with Hextia, then attack with Memorygant tributing the Hextia to gain a truly absurd amount of attack points.

My experience with Altergeist in MD: Me: *Attempts to play one single move* AG Player: "Let me stop you right there"

Nova's opinion on Altergeist: "Oh I hate that deck. But that doesn't change the fact that it is a formidable adversary. I respect it, but I don't have to like it." -Eggman.

Doug we be so proud

Me: i play a card Altergeist player:no Me:but... Altergeist player:no Me:I Altergeist player: no no no no no noooooooooooooooooooooooo

Ah, the dzeef special

The opening reminds me a big of Brentalfloss' opening to his "What is the Water Levels from Super Mario 64 had Lyrics" video, where he puts out a Twitter poll, and goes "That was the control! You guys weren't supposed to pick that!"

The things we do for Doug ♥️

But also ghost girl was one of my favorites from vrains so I am excited for this one (even if I do not like them in tcg)

Recently used this deck for the legend anthology- and what luck that they got a video now! Always such a big fan of your content!!

I love the editing updates. I miss the old background but I love the sleek black and all the slides instead of just cut-ins. Great job to you and whatever editor is working here!

that bit at the end of the intro was too cute omg

FINALLY!!!! I’ve been waiting MONTHS for this one!

Honestly I'm glad you did this Archetype. Never really understood how it worked

You are a legend for this I cannot stress this enough

Finally. My new favorite nova video. Best video. For the best deck ever.

The "altergesit" haters support you, we know how hard it was to make this video

I've never played altergeist but there's still a sort of respect I have for it, 100% because of dzeeff

I got an UR for Altergeist and wanted to check if the deck would be worth building, thanks for the video - very detailed!

Damn that edititing looking mad clean

I like the idea that you have a picture of doug that's his profile pic instead of just an actual photo.

I was aware that Silq-Manifestation was a combo of sorts, but I'd thought it was for being able to trigger floating effects on demand while recycling the Manifestation; e.g. bring back Meluseek to float it when the trap gets bounced, or res Silq then bounce Manifestation for the compluse, popping Silq to float into adding another trap in gy to hand. Didn't know there was a rules interaction allowed for keeping the monster you bring back, that's cool. Personally I like Altergeist quite a lot. As control strategies (that I'm aware of) go they're rather active without needing a big turn 1 combo; of course you can play them with some of the worst floodgates in the game like you said thanks to protocol, though that's hardly a unique sin. Looking at playing mainly the in-theme cards, they bounce around between basically everywhere except the banish zone pretty often, and they're very capable of not just negating but dodging effects/ attacks thanks to Silq & Spoofing, which adds to the "ghost" flavour. They feel very responsive to play and tend to have pretty fun choices to make on both turns. Fun for the Altergeist player of course. That said I cannot fault anyone for having a distain for playing against them. Control/ stun is typically what you're aiming for with Altergeist and that means restricting your opponent's ability to play their deck, preferably at all. From the other side of the table I dislike getting shut out of the game as much as anyone else, so I can certainly understand; Altergeist lets the user play a lot of yugioh, but if it's successful then it's preventing the opponent from playing any yugioh. People playing yugioh tend to want to actively play yugioh, so going against decks that stop them playing is rather frustrating. Altergeist are very good at doing this sort of thing, but I don't think this is really an Altergeist-specific issue, or even control/ stun-specific since any deck that can set up a board that functionally turns your hand into a brick can produce the same effect (the end goal for a lot of combo decks is to end on big bodies with negates or that are basically untouchable, so either you find a way to break that board, wall up all you can, or you simply lose).

the transitions between the different sections were pretty SPOOF

Altergesit is my favorite archetype, yes

love the new background very nice

Don’t worry, Nova. You’re not alone with your hate for this deck. I physically hissed when Silquitous popped up, and I very much agree with your thoughts on Multifaker.

This is one of my favorite deck in Master Duel, it's fun to see my opponents instant scoop when they can't break my fully established Altergist board along side with Secret Village of the Spellcasters.

I'm surprised how little I saw this deck during that anti-spell festival in Master Duel

with silquitous, manifestation, protocol and your spoofing , the opponent's win goes "spoofing".

Here comes the Zeef

Altergeist Peritrator, which came out after this video was made, can work with the second effect of Failover. Or Foolish any Altergeist card. Peritrator and Meluseek are a nice pair to go in a deck that has use for level 1s.

I hope Doug’s break is doing ok.

Got anything for my Spoof? I'm gonna Spoof, response? Let's see, I'll chain Spoof. I'll pitch Spoof for cost. The possibilities are endless.

I used to hate altergeist when i played against them but now im a geist player and proud of it

I’m sorry Nova. But inside my deck box are 2 wolves, one is an evil controlling stun strat in the form of Giest. The other is a mad homebrew combo deck of PK Raidraptor

@24:33 Heads up. Altergeist Protocol protects ACTIVATED card effects. The first effect of Altergeist Protocol is not an activated card effect, it’s a continuous card effect that just applies while it’s face up on the field. This means Royal Decree will negate the first effect of Protocol and then proceed to negate every other Altergeist Trap on the field.

Im big 😂 fun thank you for making the video

Damn it! Mecha Phantom Beast was so close!

Honestly, the same reason you did this video was the same reason I picked it in the poll. Do it for the spheal.

I recommend Small World. They’re all spellcasters with different levels and attributes, so you can bridge between them pretty easily, or just use Veiler and Droll.

Yooooo Dzeef lore!!

im a long time mecha phantom beast player but quit playing yugioh this year bacause i think new ygo arch is so op but still want to see you make vids about them

More Altergeist cards are coming to Duel Links with the next main box, so it’s funny how I came across this randomly.

After battling them I can understand how you feel.

They just added Ghost Gal to Duel Links, and I fear what they will bring to my Speed Duel chicanery.

The Anniversary Pack gave me Link into the VRAINS yesterday Didn’t think it was a sign…

I played Altergeist for years since it came out in CIBR, all the way until Virtual World came out

YES FINALLY

See I like how the newest support is an actual boss monster because there is a lot of plays and build up just to get a primebanshee and a hexstia on board since you probably used multifaker and are locked into altergeist monsters

I used to not like this deck. However, when me and my cousin used to competitively play against each other on Legacy of the Duelist he made some annoying ass decks and I eventually turned to this to even the scales. Have liked it ever since. Altergeist REALLY is one of the most annoying and mitigating decks in all of Yugioh. Lol. If it wasn’t so easy to get locked in archetype, Altergeist would be meta, I believe.

Love this weird Archetype

This is surprising

I play magicalized fusion and saryuja so i can go into quintet and swing for lethal. I love hitting people with the outrageous amounts of draw power Haunted rock helps alot more than people know

YOOOO LETS GOO GHOST GIRL BEST GIRL

He did it

Can’t wait for the new support looks busted

Nova has reached MBT levels of saying card names wrong.

Yo is that a new camera? Looking good!

Question Golden why do you hate Altergesit? They seem like a cool archtype thematically and there play style is fun limited but fun

Outstanding as ever.But...Where Jurrac?

WHATS THE BACKGROUND SONG CALLED at the extra deck part???

THE BANE OF MY EXISTENCE

This deck is so op

New support! Hahaha, this aged well.

Just uploading a Master duel video of me vs Altergeist was infuriating to rewatch T-T

GoldenNovaYugioh, you are not the only one who hates this archetype. I also hate this archetype as well.

What do you think those little orb people are in Haunted Rock?

my best friend hates altergeist. i never let him play the game when i play altergeist. love the deck. understand why you hate it so mutch.

Hold on… does dragvirion have protection from kaiju/lava golem/etc based on its effect?

They're my babies

And now there are more cards for Altergeist, funny how whenever people cover a whole archetype, new support is revealed a short while later.

Can you please make a speedroid and performapal videos please

Altergeist ist Liebe

Do it for Doug

Who's going to tell him that altergeist got there last support in Duelist Nexus?

Y'all know a funny tech to add to an altergeist deck? Performapal Five-Rainbow Magician. HILARIOUS when ppl can't read and also can't do jack or shit and then ragequit.

As someone who hates playing against combo but has to much self respect to play a pure floodgates deck this deck is one of my only real options until recently modern qliphorts are bad so qliphort advantage isn't much of a strat and most other advantage decks are just combo decks in disguise

yosenju!!!!

Considering Altergeist's playstyle, is kinda funny to think Ghost Girl / Gal from VRAINS either doesn't know how to play her own deck, or actually nerfs herself, just to troll her opponent

You're not good enough to be my fake!

They are all spellcasters? You'll want selene for sure

question anyone: can protocol protect its own activation from negation?

0:35 Who is Doug?

They got more support.

Noooooo

Bro if altergeist is your most hated archetype I'm gonna assume you haven't actually played yugioh in the past 7 or 8 years

I don't know why but the monsters of this archetype all look like cyber clowns or circus performers because slot seem to have a silly face. As for the Archetype itself I haven't played or played against these guys and while Nova does a great job in detailing cards.....I'm not quite sure how to personally place this deck.

She would be my type of only she knew what a sandwich was.... No it's not a taco either

DW, I hate this deck too

Alest it can get out the way I hate the deck my self so much so my sister rather learn a weaker controll decks then use this deck

Ah yes.... The Deck I flipping hate. Gosh I hate this Archetype

Still don't see what's the hate for, they seem pretty cool. Is it just that Multifaker thing?

OK, so question. Nova, why do you hate altergiest. I mean, sure it is a trap based deck but it's not like elditch decks. Those are more annoying than altergiest

So 2 things. 1 I had no idea Altergeist was a gag entry and 2 how sad is it that Ghost gal only got 1 win in the whole anime and it was against and idiot.

18:15 2800 + 2200 = 4k?

You hate Multifaker? Well I hate Marionetter. I hate it so much. Just literally gets Protocol for free. Every game, I just couldn't do anything.

I get you hate this deck and you may hate me but I may give it a try since I like control decks. I have a disdain for Sky Strikers and Dinos.

ooh another toxic trap deck to build.

Aren't there worse decks? Or have those just proliferated to the point of normalization by now? P.S. I don't begrudge you the Altergeist dislike.
