Considering Goddess of the Third eye is a fusion substitute monster with a pretty situational effect, I'd say it'd make sense/fair for her to give that "Quick Attack" effect for fusion monsters.
Reminds me of when i drew out a labyrinth style dungeon path game board, and made monster tokens on slips of paper, then my friends and I would play a Paradox Brothers style game of Duel Monsters where monsters summoned would have to walk the labyrinth, and could only battle when they were in range of eachother relative to their level. (this was way before Xyz summoning and ranks, and only involved Vanilla Monsters, or occasional effect monsters.)
I had a pyro/volcanic deck and my DM was solar flare dragon. I gave him the ability that all effect damage involved by fire monster had 500 more damage once per turn
I got an idea for a Utopia Deck Master skill. "When a monster declares an attack: You can detach 1 XYZ Material from a monster you control, take half damage from the attack, also if the target was a monster, it is not destroyed. Once per turn, you can XYZ Summon 1 XYZ Monster with "Utopia" or "Utopic" in the card name by using this card and another XYZ Monster you control as material, ignoring it's Summoning conditions. That monster goes in your Deck Master Zone, and is treated as your Deck Master for the rest of the Duel, unless it is used to summon another Monster. (This summon is treated as an XYZ Summon.)"
not long ago i made a rule of my own: strategy duel : both players put all cards in order of there choice, Shuffling effects are not applied, add cards effects can be used directly and added from there place, nether player can't re-order there decks except with card effects It was so fun back then, that when we play it half the game was irdering
Of course with a commander style, for the real life game, you would need a whole new type of card to officially have a commander, and not just any random monster! legacy type sounds good, as those would be the choice cards to build decks around
The whole thing is similar to "Commander" for MTG, great concept, just really hard to do considering you'll have to be focusing an "arch-type" in order to play Deck Master correctly. Bujin's/Madolche/Mermaill, are arch-types that can use Deck Masters for sure, though, I'm sure it's a little hard for people to make it safe.
Yeah definate feels of edh. Even to thid day games like vangaurd, dbs, and the one piece tcg(waiting for us release) all take inspiration from a commander its a bang on idea since you have a card you can connect to and reflect your playstyle and deckbuilding around
came here to make this same comment. I realized not long ago that this show was made me interested in commander in the first place. The decks that they use all feel like commander decks, where they only play one copy of each card (with a few exceptions)
For Goddess of the Third Eye seemingly being an exception, I have an idea. Instead of normally "fusing" the cards, she might allow contact fusion or the tributing of fusion materials to special summon. One of the exceptions to the fusion fatigue rule in Battle City was always Kaiba's X, Y and Z combinations, so that might bypass it. I think the only strong hole in this theory is that in the Japanese dub, Kaiba's duel disk sometimes keeps X-Head Cannon as the monster, presumably making Y and Z just union cards. But I don't believe the effects would carry over if it weren't technically a true fusion monster.
Like:"fusion cards special summoned with fusion or polymerization cards cannot attack the turn they are summoned" Which would hold up the theory that third eye allows contact fusion and is not considered a fusion or polymerization card.
Maybe her full ability it fusion summon without poly by discarding a spell, and if you do, the summoned monster can attack on the turn it is fusion summoned? or if you do this is treated a special summon not a fusion summon?
I always felt that the Deck Master abilities fell towards the kinds of decks the duelists used. Because lets face it, they all likely just remade their real-life decks. Joey has LOADS of fusion monsters like Thousand Dragon, Flame Swordsman, his many Red-Eyes, so him having a handful of Deck Masters with the ability to allow fusion monsters to attack the turn they're summoned makes sense. Serenity likely also runs a fusion-heavy deck since she probably looks up to Joey a lot, thus she also gets Deck Masters where that's a common ability.
I just figured that a Fusion Monster Fusion Summoned with Goddess o the Third Eye's Deck Master Ability would be able to Attack the turn it's Summoned, but could only Fusion Summon this way Once per Turn...
I think Relinquished would be a nice one to have with the effect of Once per turn you can select a monster your opponent controls and take control of it until the end of the turn, to kinda go along with its normal effect of stealing monsters to augment its attack and defense, that or that would be 1000 eyes restricts ability and relinquished would allow you to copy (or add, whichever seems more interesting and fair to you) an opponent's monster stats onto an existing monster on your field while reducing the opponent's monster's stats by the same amount.
Would be neat if Deck Masters became the gimmic for a whole generation of yugioh. In addition to future archtypes having their own deck master, we'd definitely see Legacy support/retrains for favorite archtypes and itd be a fun bit of nostalgia. It might actually be a mechanic that could help some archtypes that were always too clunky even for casual play, like neos spacians, without printing a bloated field spell/searcher with a dozen effects.
@@mr2oxking What leak? Thought they would have done maximum summon as the next thing for sure though. It would be interesting to finally get something new that is only main deck and doesn't revolve around utilizing the extra deck.
@@jamaldavis2480 their was a leak on alternate formats that will be available for tournaments a little while ago and one of the formats was deck master, also I’m pretty sure OG yugioh won’t be getting maximum summons that’s just for rush duels
It's funny, given how the concept of 'Monster Spirits' would become much more prevalent as the franchise has gone on (even as early as GX), I'm really surprised that the anime has never really revisited the whole Deck Master concept. It seems like such a natural way to let the heroes interact with their monster partners/companions. I could totally see Jaden using Winged Kuriboh or Yubel as a Deck Master. Also, here's a fun headcanon: The reason several Deck Masters can 'talk' to their dualists (Kuriboh, DMG, Flame Swordsman, etc) in this arc is because they are the actual spirits of those monsters using the virtual environment to partially manifest themselves to help their dualists. Particularly in the case of Kuriboh and Dark Magician Girl.
"Endymion, the Master Magician" [When this card is Master Summoned, you can add one Spell card from your GY to your hand. Once per turn, while this card is in the Deck Master Zone, you can remove one Spell Counter from your side of the field to target one Spell/Trap card your opponent controls; destroy it.] Basically just a deck masterish version of his usual effect. I played a Spell Counter deck back before all the new Endymion support came out, so I have a soft spot for the OG Master Magician
I was always a fan of the virtual world arc and the deck master involvement. It was unique and lead to some really interesting shenanigans throughout the arc. I think you’re right, it’s probably where duel links got the idea for skills. To be honest that’s one of my favorite reasons for playing Duel Links in the first place is because of the skills. You can literally make the weakest deck become super broken with the right skill.
Just my 2 cents here: I really liked Noah's arc because it reminds me of the Magic the Gathering format I play: Commander/EDH. It is a multiplayer format (usually with 4 players). Each deck has 99 cards, led by a legendary creature of choice of the owner. This creature is the deckmaster/commander, and usually dictates what cards go in the 99. I believe the highest point of Commander/EDH is the interactions between cards and players. Despite being free-for-all, the players sometimes team up against a common enemy, and these dynamics are always a blast to see. Anyway, thanks for your videos about Yu-Gi-Oh - I watched them all :-)
I also definitely think Commander. While it became more officially supported only in 2011, its origins trace back to 1996. So it is not out of the realm of possibility that the Deckmaster format was at least partially inspired by Commander.
@@likky1 wow so after some quick searches on the yugioh subreddit, it looks like Konami is officially supporting the format (although as a MTG arena player I don't really know what that means). One comment is saying it's possible deck master will be added to the new Master Duels digital game, so that would be awesome. However, other comments are saying it won't work because there are too many busted monster cards that will essentially tell your opponent you don't get to play. So either the ban list will have to be ridiculously long, or Konami will have to go all-in and make special deck master monsters. So at least there is some hope, but it looks like it will be very complicated for Konami to figure out and this won't really be a viable format for like another year at least. But it looks like it has been a popular idea among the community for a long time. Just copy the MTG commander philosophy (fun > winning), don't play cards literally no one likes, and it will work for in person games.
I'd pick sangan as deckmaster, with the following deckmaster ability : once per turn, when one of your monsters is sent to the graveyard, add 1 monster with 1500 atk or less from your deck to your hand
I'd probably pick Dark Ruler Ha Des as my deck master. And would probably keep it's deck master ability the same as it's regular effect. "Negate the effects of monsters destroyed by battle with a fiend type monster you control.", It seems pretty good and I like to run fiend monsters.
This is something that most yugitubers (team apps, dzeef) will never understand because they hate the anime and take every chance to ridicule it. Real fans (anime, not tcg) love Noah’s arc. Only youtubers call it “filler”. It’s basically hateful spiteful language used by fat neckbeard try hard tcg players
@@griffingower1883 my idea is foe Konami to release a PDF with SUPPORTED deck masters and their abilities - thus they don’t need to print deck master cards. Konami would control who can be deck master. It’s like a forbidden list and would limit their power. Imagine a worlds deck masters tournament! That would be fun n creative!
@@dudono1744 dark magician is a normal monster yet he had effects in anime. So that’s what I’m talking about. Otherwise it would totally shut out normal monsters which I feel is dumb. And yes Konami newly supported the format but does that mean they will hold deck masters tournaments? That’s the dream therw
Its more likely that you have until the end of a chain to replace your deck master if its destroyed. Remember, Five Headed Dragon was the Big Five's deck master when it was destroyed during their duel with Yugi and Joey, but since they used A Deal with Dark Ruler to summon Berserk Dragon, Berserk Dragon became their new Deck Master and they continued the duel. The only thing I can think of that contradicts this would be Rainbow Blessing, since Kuriboh was tributed, but I guess you can say that the chain was still active at the time if you accept that Yugi activated it at the start of the battle phase (remember, Battle City rules).
Elemental Hero Avian. Once per turn, instead of your normal draw, add one level 4 or lower elemental hero to your hand from the deck. If it's a normal monster, special summon it to the field. Once per turn you can fusion summon using materials from the field, hand or graveyard, including this card, but the fusion must require an Elemntal Hero or a card that contains the word Elemental Hero in it's card text.
A buddy and I would duel each other all the time and when Deck Masters hit the scene in the anime we tried to do it too. We just had a Gentleman’s rule of keep the ability tame and the other person has to either provide an edit and/or fully agree to the effect. Generally it worked out really well
Although not explicitly stated in the anime, I believe that all deck master monsters share the same ability that if the deck master is used as a fusion material for the fusion summon of a monster, that fusion monster can attack during the same turn that it's fusion summoned, which explain how blue-eyes ultimate dragon and dark flare knight were able to attack on the turn they are fusion summoned.
@@aceclover758 Either way the general rule is still "Summoning Sickness for Fusion Monsters" be it ignored because of the Quick-Attack Spell or a DM Effect, it is still there on the normal conditions of the format
Since I run Cyber Dragons my deck master would be Cyber Dragon Zwei. It's effect allows me search a cyber card (monster, spell or trap when I summon any machine type but only once per turn.)
Deck Masters was such a cool mechanic. The new one proposed by Konami isn't as cool, but I can see the reasoning to not come up with a deck master effect for literally every monster card. It would have been fun to see deck masters getting synchro summoned, or even link climbed, with each new link monster having their own deck master effect.
I can think of a few deck master effects for ace monsters in future installments Stardust dragon: once per turn (quick-effect) if your opponent activates a card effect that would destroy another card, negate that cards activation and destroy it. Synchro monsters can not be destroyed or have there effects negated the turn they are synchro summoned. Synchro monsters synchro summoning cannot be negated. Red dragon archfeind: all synchro summoned synchro monsters gain 500 attack and defense for each non tuner material used in its synchro summoning. If a synchro monster attacks a defense position monster, inflict piercing damage. Number 39 utopia: once per turn if your opponent declares an attack, you may negate the attack. Once per turn (quick-effect) you may select 1 xyz monster, select 1 non xyz, non link, non fusion, non synchro monster from your graveyard or face up extra deck, attach it to the chosen xyz monster as an overlay unit. All xyz monsters you control gain 500 attack and defense for each overlay unit attached to it. Odd eyes pendulum dragon: once per turn you may pay 1000 life-points, you may preform an additional pendulum summon. Each time a pendulum summon is successful put one pendulum counter on this card. All pendulum monsters on your side of the field gain 200 attack and defense for each pendulum counter on this card. Once per turn each, if a monster in your pendulum zone would be destroyed, it isnt. Code talker: you can link summon link 2 or higher link monsters using 1 less link material then normal. Each link monster you control gains 200 attack times its link. All link monsters you control cannot be attacked or be targeted by opponents effects of opponents monster cards they are linked to.
I like that Last Warrior From Another Planet is clearly the best choice of deck master even by these rules. Glad the TCG kept the spirit of the thing when translating it.
If I were to have ANY monster as my deck master, I'd pick between four: "Number 39: Utopia," "Elemental HERO Neos," "Gilford the Lightning," and "Archlord Kristya." As for deck master effects, they would be as follows: Utopia: "At the beginning of the duel, this card can have up to 5 'Light Wing Shield' Counters on it. If a monster declares an attack, you can remove one 'Light Wing Shield' Counter from this card: Negate that attack, then end the battle phase. If this card from the monster zone is removed from the field in any way: Special summon 1 'Utopia' or 'Utopic' Xyz monster, using this card as material. You can only use this Deck Master ability of 'Number 39: Utopia' up to the amount of counters this card had at the start of the duel." Neos: "If you fusion summon a fusion monster with 'HERO' in it's name, you can shuffle the material monsters back into your deck from your side of the field instead of using Polymerization. Once per monster, if a Fusion Monster would be removed from the field in any way, it is not removed. You can only use this Deck Master ability of 'Elemental HERO Neos' once for every monster affected by this effect." Gilford: "You can tribute all monsters you control to Master Summon this card. If you do, all cards your opponent controls are destroyed, and all monsters among them are banished. You can only use this Deck Master ability of 'Gilford the Lightning' once per duel." Kristya: "If you draw a monster card that is of LIGHT attribute, you can reveal it, then special summon it to the field. This summon cannot be negated. If this Master Summoned card would be destroyed, move it to the Deck Master Zone instead. You can only use this Deck Master ability of 'Archlord Kristya' once per duel, and if this Deck Master ability is used, 'Archlord Kristya' in your Deck Master Zone cannot be Master Summoned again."
The Deck Master system was also used in the PS2 game, "Duelists of the Roses", along with a Labyrinth Duel type board where you moved your monsters around to battle your opponent's monsters.
With how many "evolving" monsters there are, particularly these days, I wonder if there'd be a "first stage only" rule on deck masters. That is to say, would Weevil be able to start with Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth or would he be required to begin the duel with Petit Moth or Cocoon of Evolution as the Deck Master for that? Or not being able to just start with Quasar or end-of-line boss monsters. For an in show example Kaiba make Blue-Eyes White Dragon a DM instead of Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon; If we're still operating by the anime rule(s) that seem to treat fusion monsters as a game-state applied to other monsters then it makes sense you couldn't start with a fusion monster as your Deck Master, there's Joey w/ Flame Swordsman, but Flame Swordsman is consistently a normal monster in the anime, which just leaves Super Roboyaro as the confusing factor. I feel like most of the arc is showcasing a situation where Ritual & Fusion monsters (an extra deck monsters as a whole) aren't permitted to be your starting Deck Master, but can become one later in the duel. Shinato's Ark had a bunch of effects and floats into the king though so maybe Noah ran that as the DM by preference, but I do wonder if Ritual Spells are what you'd need to choose if you want the Ritual Monster it summons to be the DM. If this were the case, then DM choices like Last Warrior from Another World or Thousand-Eyes Restrict would be illegal due to needing to be fusion summoned first, which is probably way less broken though still deeply flawed.
If this were the case we would need to make the mc effect of monsters that can easily evolve to be weak, but since all of them can evolve the best compromise i can think of is that your master card effect does not change and only transfers, cant remember if they have this in the anime.
If a monster with an almost impossible set up is chosen as a Deck Master, then its ability should be somewhat of a cost to Master Summon it. In Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth's case, I'd say that instead of waiting the 6 turns to summon it after Petite Moth is equipped with Cocoon of Evolution, maybe make the cost of summoning something like milling the top 6 cards of your deck, after sending an insect equipped with an equip card to the GY, then you may Master summon this Deck Master. Making it way easier to play should be the monster's Deck Master ability if the set up is darn near impossible...
Hey sam, recently i saw the duel between Mai & Marik again, and something popped into my head. If Mai attacked Holding Arms with Harpie Lady Sisters, she would've won the duel. Can you confirm that after doing Yuma vs Kite round 1?
Did marik have the card in attack or defense mode because if it's the former than yes, but the latter is no. Plus it's the anime were style points mean more than smart plays
Did you know Yuma actually could’ve won his first duel - I worked this out a few days ago so I want him to do all 3 of Yuma vs kite much like his jaden vs zane video
Personally I would want petit angel as my deck master with some effect along the lines of “one per turn, you can special summon one level 3 or lower non-effect monster with 1000 or less atk points from your deck in face up atk mode.” To try and make some sort of meek or wimpy beat down deck. Or having it get an equip card to boost up the wimpy cards you have in play. I know that doesn’t sound good, but petit angel is my fav card and I would do anything to have a reason to play it
Thinking about this story arc again makes me sad - it was a chance for Yugi, Joey, and Kaiba to try new cards, new strategies, and move beyond their regular decks. But they didn't. Closest that I can think of is Joey taking a Cyber Harpie Lady to honor Mai. I don't think he drew it during that duel, which is again a shame. Would have been a great plot point.
My deck master would probably be rapid fire magician and I would honestly keep it's effect as the deck master ability since it fits with what already exists if I remember right
For harpy lady: while this card is in the DM zone, any time you summon a winged beast or dragon type monster, you may destroy 1 spell/trap csrd on the opponents field, or you may add 1 spell card with harpy lady in its name or card text. You can only activate one of its effects once per turn.
If Quick Attack was a real card, i’d say it’d be somewhat “make one of your monsters unaffected by your opponent’s card effects until the end of the turn.”
"You can only activate this card on the first turn of the duel. Target 1 monster you control. This turn, that monster may declare an attack." It'd be literal FTK bait but I think it's funny enough to see what sort of wild stuff people come up with ortheyjustrunpowerbondandlimiterremovalandgetitbannedimmediately
One huge missed opportunity of this story arc was to have the characters experiment with cards they don't usually use. Yes, Joey did take a Cyber Harpy in one of the duels, but that is one card. It doesn't really count. Also, I realized this a while ago - the Deckmaster rule is kind of similar (and maybe was even at least partially inspired by?) the Commander format of Magic the Gathering. My deckmaster would be an old card, my favorite - The Creator. I like to think that given its ability to revive monsters from the GY, its ability would be something that lets me basically Foolish Burial once per turn (with a cost, probably shuffling another card to the deck), but no effects happen as a result of it going to the GY. And maybe while on the field when using its reviving ability it can ignore summoning conditions/restrictions.
Deckmaster: "All Charmer Spellcaster" Effect: "Once per turn you could special summon 1 monster (that have appropriate attribute with the chosen charmer) from either your graveyard or opponent graveyard to your field.
I’d have to choose Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon lol His DM Effect would probably be “If a monster you control battles an opponents monster; Banish Both monsters until the end of the battle phase”
I’ll choose divine dragon lord felgrand If a monster is special summon from the graveyard. you can target 1 monster your opponent controls or in the graveyard, if you do gain half of atk and def equal to its original level by 50.
for my deck master, I would have ancient gear golem. its effected would be "all ancient gear or gadget monsters can inflicted piercing damage when attacking a defense mode monster. any fusion monster that used this card material can attack the turn its summoned". if you can't tell I run an ancient gear deck with gadgets.
My Deck Maser would be Elemental Hero Flamewingman. Its effect would be "If you fuse two Elemental Heroes, destroy a Monster, can inflict damage of the original Attack and can attack twice."
Fun fact, Deck Masters first became known to me in the PS2 game, Duelist of the Roses. I wish that game got more love than it did as it’s honestly the best dueling style for Yu-Gi-Oh! Yet and has tons of potential if deck masters all had various abilities on top of their normal effects if they had one. Edit: If I could have any deck master, I would choose Command Knight! On top of its normal effect to power up all warrior type monsters by 400atk that I control. I would also like it if she had a Deck Master Ability to protect warrior type monsters from being destroyed by magic or trap cards. Not an OP ability for a deck master, but fairly powerful in it’s own right. Monsters can still be destroyed by monster effects and effects not involving destruction can still affect them. Like being spellbound, weakened, changing positions, or brainwashed, or just sending them back to my hand or deck. Even being removed from play still works! So no, I am not being overpowered in effect choices before anyone asks!
I've been looking for this comment, cuz that's where I was introduced to it too Also I love that game, and it's my dream to make a heavy scale remake of it some day
@@de606returns6 Finally! Another visionary with great taste in how to duel like me! I am happy to hear your desire and appreciation for the potential of such a dueling format/style this game has shown us!
Astrograph Sorcerer would be my pick. I feel like his effect be similar to the anime: if all your cards on the field are destroyed, you can master summon this card, return all cards that were destroyed this turn to their original state then you can banish this and 4 dragons of different types to summon Z-ARC. Once per duel you can add one pendulum monster from the deck to your hand.
I'd love it if Duel Link's added a Duel Master rule set and made a few Deck Masters that can be used, then hold tournaments for the winners to decide what cards can become Deck Masters. We'd get some crazy Deck Masters and the app would get so much more fun.
@@Mannyindahouse Yeah, and if they did the tournament idea they could actually hype it up a lot and put the final match recording online with both players already showing what card they want for Deck Master to get the audience rooting for one.
The cool thing is that we now have an official format for duel masters. The sad thing is that it's so poorly done that there is actually only a couple of good options, with the rest being useless compared to them. The Last Warrior from Another Planet would be crazy. On the "fun" side of the game, maybe cyberse quantum dragon if we have to keep the effect as similar as possible to the card's written effect
@@the24thcolossusjustchillin39 Nothing if you want to do it for fun, but the IRL ones are for sanctioned events/OTS supported by konami, so, the same thing that prevents us to use custom cards on any official tournaments
The deck masters I would use (different ones for different decks, obviously) would be as follows (along with their Master ability): Gladiator Beast: Test Panther -- Once per turn, during your draw phase, instead of conducting your normal draw, you can add 1 "Gladiator" spell/trap from your deck to your hand. Once per turn, Target 1 "Gladiator Beast" monster you control, return it to the deck to Special summon 1 "Gladiator Beast" monster with a different type and level of the monster returned. T.G.: Trident Launcher -- Your opponent cannot negate the synchro summon of any T.G. synchro monster. If this monster is summoned to the field, it is summoned to the EMZ and is considered as being link summoned, and its effects cannot be negated the turn it's summoned this way. Lswarm: Steelswarm Origin -- Any "Lswarm" monster you control cannot bet targeted with card effects. The first time an "Lswarm" monster would be destroyed by battle or card effect, it is not destroyed. If an "Lswarm" monster would be destroyed by battle or card effect, you can special summon 1 level 4 or lower "Lswarm" monster from your deck in defense position. Yosenju: Mayosenju Hitot -- Any time a card it returned to the hand, deck, or ED, all "Yosenju" monsters you control gain 500 ATK/DEF. Once per turn, during the end phase, you can place up to 2 Yosenju monsters that are face up in your ED, that were sent there this turn, into your pendulum scale zones.
For my warrior deck mine be fotres Warrior if any warrior monster battle I could save IT once from destruction make sure so I can take no battle damage for My reptile deck orgdic the big 8 star with 2000 attack points Which would let me summon a reptile from grave by tribute a a reptile monster for my machine deck construction turn signal Red make so when my opponent decaled a Attack I special summon a level three machine for my hand and it can't be destroyed by that battle and for My DDD fiend deck I would choose the tactical trap master Guy And his effect would let me atcivtstie any trap the turn I set it
Mai's is most likely Harpie lady or Harpie lady sisters. Besides Ra I can't think of any monsters heavily associated with Marik maybe lava Golem? It's deck master ability is probably to swap with one monster on the field, the swapped monster is now your new deck master and you apply lava golems effect as normal? And ishizu... That's a hard one she doesn't really have an Signature monster. I think the closest she has to an ace is her trap card Blast held by a tribute.
If they're allowed to pick spells or traps like Noah did with Shinato's Arc (which was supposed to be just a basic ritual spell) Mai would probably choose Hunting Ground. Having played Duel Links where skills are available, that's a pretty big advantage to immediately have it out on the field. Harpies were Tier 1 for about a year until they've started limiting the support cards and then finally hitting the skill.
Mai would've definitely had Harpie Lady Sisters, and it's ability would've been something like allowing it to attack 3 times. Marik would've probably had Lava Golem, and it's effect would've allowed it to lock up up to 2 monsters the opponent controls and burn them every turn. His whole deck was themed around imprisonment and torture, after all. Ishizu is hard to figure out, but likely Agido would be her deck master. It's the most referenced card of hers, often appearing on God support. No idea what the effect would be, unless it gave her some kind of recursion or mill since her main strategy was to try and deck out Kaiba.
I said mai deck master be pet dragon with a effect to increase her harpies monster by three hundreds attack points for each sister or lady she had on the field Marik would be drilago Or lava golem drilago would allow his monster to do piercing or lava golem could let him give his opponent any monster and burn his opponent for 1400 during each standby phase now izuhu no idea
If you check out the ps2 game “duellist of the roses” you’ll see deckmasters for different characters even like Pegasus,… because they’re also used there for different rulings.
Mine would be Moisture Creature. It's ability would be "Tribute 1 monster on the field to destroy all opponent's spell and trap cards" It'd also have an effect where it's nearly impossible to actually find and only appears at certain times of the day. (Falsebound Kingdom reference)
My fav main deck monster is still Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon, I’d prob go with that, but I’m imagining the dueling shenanigans you could get up to with a Tuner as your deck master. In that sense, I’d choose Plaguespreader Zombie
I'd probably pick Dark Elf as my deck master. Considering her effect for her card is to pay 2000 life points in order to attack, I'd do a modification of that as the deck master effect. Pay 1000 life points in order to attack without her leaving the deck master zone. EDIT: Her effect costs 1000 life points, my mistake
My friends and I loved the deck master format, we used to play it all the time as kids. It would be really cool if duel links or master duel would have a deck master event.
I always loved this format of Dueling and wished there had been official rules for it, but I know trying to come up with unique Deck Master effects for EVERY MONSTER IN THE GAME would take ages, so I was resigned to just let it stay stuck in the anime. Now I can at least try it out IRL, at least in a practice Duel between my own Decks. I surely can't be the only one who liked this idea. I wonder if anyone out there has considered making Deck Master effects for other Monsters that weren't shown or used in the Virtual World arc?
Check out the "commander" format of "magic: the gathering." It's really similar so, if you can find a play group, you all could probably make it work in yugioh.
Maiden with Eyes of Blue and her effect would be to negate 1 attack or targeting effect per turn and switch all Attack Position monsters on the owner's side of the field to defense mode
I was thinking something similar, but instead of switching all your opponent's monster positions, instead I went in the direction of summoning up to three non-ritual /extra deck monsters that list "blue eyes white dragon"
Deck Master Stardust Dragon would have the ability: Once per turn, during either player's turn; when a card or effect is activated that would destroy a card(s) on the field: tribute one monster you control or discard one card: negate the activation, and if you do, destroy it.
Always found it odd that none of the duelists put soul exchange in their decks. Given how often the opponents deck masters entered the field tributing your opponents deck master became a literal instant win condition! Yugi could've chained it with dark magician deck master ability and one shotted the vanilla monsters!
For my deck master, I'd love a suped up version of Keeper of Dragon Magic. Something like (as a Deck Master): Keeper of Dragon Magic: Once per turn, you can reveal a fusion monster from your extra deck, then discard cards from your hand up to the amount of named fusion materials for that revealed monster you have in your GY: Add that many "polymerization" or "fusion" spell/trap cards from your deck to your hand. I just really love Keeper of Dragon Magic and fusion support lol.
4:53 Actually, I think Yugi used another Kuriboh. There's a video on RU-vid that basically recreates the duel between Yugi and Gansley. And according to that duel, when Kuriboh's Deck Master ability activated, another Kuriboh was special summoned to the field. Here's a link to the video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UduZJCxSpzA.html
I always loved deck masters, the idea of seeing a bunch of older monsters, mostly those without effects, get cool alternate abilities that make them at least have situational use. I'd have liked somehow, a format with custom printed deck master cards. But then konami made all those alternate formats and they added deck master format in about the least imaginative way possible. pick a monster from your deck or extra deck, it's an untouchable guy sitting outside of the field and can activate its effect(s) whenever. Unless they have or will implement serious changes, it's a pretty simple format. naturia exterio, last warrior, or the rank 12 raidraptor to just lock your opponent out of doing anything. though having aleister as a deck master would be funny. but also boring. for an actual deck master, I'd like to see summoned skull. favorite normal monster/old school monster, and I've always liked the skeletal but muscled look of the archfiends. maybe give it a modified version of its duelist kingdom lightning shock attack. like 1250 boost to a monster's ATK and can deal piercing damage.
My favorite card is Blue-Eyes White Dragon, so I'd probably pick that just so I can stand next to one during the duel. Lord of D would also be a choice I consider because of his effect. However, to add a new deck master, I'd add Cyber Dragon Core. It's effect would be similar to Malefic World's effect. During my draw phase, I would choose 3 Cyber Dragon cards, or cards that list Cyber Dragon in the text, and my opponent would randomly choose one of them. I add the chosen card to my hand, and the others are shuffled into the deck. This takes the place of my normal draw phase.
Cool. First Battle City, then Duelist Kingdom, and now Deck Masters, I think that covers all the different rules of the game. Also, on the subject of Deck Masters, so if I tributed my Deck Master alongside another monster to summon Yubel she would become my new Deck Master and then if she was destroyed and her effect brought out her evolved form Yubel - Terror Incarnate, then that one would be my new Deck Master right?
So. Let's see if I get this right. You summon a deck master. Then you fusion summon using the deck master as material. The fusion monster becomes the new deck master. If you use Defusion, your previous deck master should become the deck master again, right? Now. Imagine this. You fusion summon, then while the fusion deck master is on the field, you special summon your previous deck master from the grave. Who is the deck master? The fusion or the original master? And if it's the fusion, then if the fusion leaves the field, does the former deck master get the title again or then the fusion is considered the only deck master and thus you lose?
I think you lose. The og deck master became the new one, that individual is the new deck master. Any change has to be done on the card chosen as deck master and the changes give you a new one. In defusion uou could chose which one. The og card is another copy of a card you could normally play.
I had conversations just like this when I was 9 and tried to actually do deck master rules with some friends. We both had 3 Monster Reborn (naturally) in our decks so it came up very quickly. It ultimately stalled the entire endeavour when no one could agree.
I know it's been 2 years since this comment, but I'm pretty sure that at this point in the anime, fusion monsters still weren't actual cards, and the materials just kind of merged together to create new cards instead of going to the GY. So the situation you described couldn't actually happen. I could be wrong though. It's been years since I watched the season.
As someone who has LOVED the Vampire Archtype since Vampire Lord released in Dark Crisis, I've always LOVED the thought of Deck Masters becoming an official thing (taking potential effects of Vampire Lord/Vampire Genesis into consideration), and the impact they'd bring to existing "rogue" decks.
Let me try giving Lord and/or Genesis a Deck Masters Effect. Vampire Lord: When your Opponent sends a Card(s) from their Deck to the Graveyard, increase your Life Points depending on the Card(s) sent: *Monster: 300 equal to the amount of Levels. *Magic: 400 *Trap: 500 Maybe Genesis can have the same Effect? What do you think?
@@fireball1249 So, you bring up an interesting thought (when thinking about how Deck Masters would effect Archetypes). Nearly 20 years ago, the deck destruction (and Yata Garasu) were staples. This was around the same time I remember this story arc airing in the US. The thought I had at the time was: any zombie inflicting battle damage essentially "gets V-Lord's damage step effect". (As well as have the immunity aspect expanded if turned into Genesis, when on the field out of the Deck Master Zone). However, while I still consider Lord/Genesis to be the "figureheads" of the vampire type, they'd (like many others) need an updated effect that benefits the archetype as a whole. Now? I feel like it's a bit more complicated. If Deck Masters were a thing, having an OG representing, especially if they had a "transformation" seems like a no-brainer. But if you wanted them to "boost" the Archtype, it would likely make more sense to base the DM effect on what the type is currently based on, as opposed to their original effect.
In several of the Duel Links surveys, I have mentioned I would love to have an event in the game based on this arc. The game seems well suited to adapting it, since, as you mentioned, it already has skills. I would also love to have part of the event involve quickly throwing a deck together, but that would be much harder to implement and would probably make lots of people angry.
I have a few Deck Master effects ideas! 1) Elemental HERO Neos: Once per turn, instead of drawing, you can pay 500 LP: Add one Elemental HERO or Neo-Spacian card from the deck to the hand. 2) Stardust Dragon: Once per turn, If the opponent activates a Card Effect that would destroy one or more monsters, banish a card from your hand, face-down: That effect is negated. 3) Number 39: Utopia: If your opponent attacks a monster you control, you can discard a card OR detach an XyZ material from a monster you control: Negate the attack.
Deck Master: The Weather Painter Aurora Effect: If there any 'Fairy' monster in your graveyard, banish them; then draw the same amount of cards as the banished monsters. You can also draw any card from your deck with 'Weather' in it's name.
I play Yang Zings (I just love the art on the cards) and I'd want Baxia, Brightness of the Yang Zing. It's effect: any time a syncro monster is successfully summoned, you can select 1 card for every attribute used in the syncro summon. Shuffle the selected cards back into the owners deck.
If I could choose I think my Deck Master would be Pot of Greed: I really like that card's artwork, now if only I knew what its effect is... oh well, I guess I'll just have to come up with one myself
Junk Synchron's hypothetical Deckmaster ability: Once per turn, you can special summon one Level 2 or lower monster from your Graveyard (to reflect its on summon effect). You can perform one Synchro Summon during your opponent's Battle Phase (to reflect its art in the trap card "Urgent Tuning").
I'd probably choose something like "Hiita, the Fire Charmer". I imagine that she'd be able to let me tribute a FIRE attribute monster to deal damage directly to my opponent (much like the "Spiritual Fire Art - Kurenai" that features her) or something akin to her ability to steal FIRE type monsters. Then again, a lot of the Charmer associated monsters can special summon each other from the deck, maybe she'd be able to special summon FIRE monsters with a tribute? It's fun to think about!
elemental hero electrum 1. once per turn you can summon 1 hero fusion monster from the extra deck, graveyard or removed from play by using materials from the hand, field and/or graveyard 2. by paying half your life points you can also choose fusion materials from deck and removed from play. 3 only usable on turn 1 pay all your life points except 1 to summon 5 different hero monsters form your extra deck in attack position these monsters cannot attack and have there attack and defense become 0 as long as they are on the field. 4 if you use effect 3 you cannot use effect 1 for the rest of the duel.
I've always liked the Deck Master concept. Having one of your monsters as your companion in a Duel, even better if they can talk to you. I'd go with either Dark Magician Girl with her in-anime Deck Master ability (Don't FBI me) or Black Dragon's Chick, with the ability to let me Special Summon a "Red-Eyes" monster from my hand once per turn.
Greetings from Duelist Kingdom! We've hit a bit of a cold spot here on the island, but otherwise it's bright & sunny as befitting "island life". Personally I think they should've spent more time exploring the virtual reality that was made(my head cannon states that they ditched poor Duke Devlin there), but oh well.... As for your question; my usual "Deck Master" would be Exxod Master of the Guard with the ability to (once per turn, just to make it fair) make all defensive monster's on your side of the field immune to all removal abilities. I noticed in the original that VERY few people played flip effect monsters(I think that lout Weevil was one of the few that did), so I'd run a full Invincible Fortress Deck with the plan of either Battlefield Control (can't affect the game if you ain't got anything on the field), or effect damage. Have fun and don't forget the Louau next week! The original Lazy Duelist
Damn it I was trying to forget the VR arc but you had to bring it back lol. As for the rules, they make sense although some of the villain deck masters were busted but still a pretty fun video!
I love the idea of Deck Masters, you get one card that represents you and your deck, summoning the deck master is a really risky move but you can get a great reward, also you have skills like in duel links, it sounds fun
I like these rules! I'd like to try it out and maybe picture what a deck master ability of one of the Egyptian God Cards would be. Slifer's could be: Sacrifice 3 monsters on your side of the field. Choose one monster on the field you control, that monster's attack raises by 500 for each card on your hand. I know it's specified that the Egyptian Gods can't be used in the Deck or as a Deck Master, but hey, it'd be interesting.
Here's red eyes black dragons DM effect: once per duel, if you summon it from the DM zone, you may deal damage to your opponent equal to the monsters original atk, if you do this, it cannot attack on the turn it is summoned
Damn, I cannot believe I forgot all about these rulings in the Yugioh Arc. This would've been so sick if the anime rules were integrated as extra challenges in the Solo Mode of Master Duel.
Decode Talker and here is his Deck Master Effect: All Link MOnsters you control gain 500 ATK. If a card(s) you control were to leave the field in any way, shuffle them into the deck instead and draw until you have 5 cards.
Depends on the deck I’m running. Since I can’t think of a perfect example, I’ll use Gong’s Superheavy Samurai deck and have Big Benkei as the D.M. (Deck Master) and his ability would be that of the special archetype effect of the Superheavy Samurai’s. [Level 4 or higher Superheavy Samurai monsters can attack while in Defense mode and apply their defense for damage calculations]
Right now, the way I most wanna hear about Master Duel is if it's in the term "Deck Master Duels"! Super excited for this video, & might comment more later! Thanks for uploading!
My deck master would be Sacred Arch-Airknight Parshath DM Ability: Whenever your Fairy monsters inflict battle damage to your opponent, you can add 1 card that list "Parshath" in the card's name, or 1 Counter Trap card, from your deck or GY to your hand.
If a card I had were to be made into a Deck Master, I’d probably go with “Albion the Shrouded Dragon”. For its Deck Master ability, allowing Fusions to attack the turn they’re summoned is a no-brainer; but I’d like to take Albion’s a step further. “If a monster with ‘Fallen of Albaz’ as a Fusion Material is Fusion Summoned using your opponent’s monster, you can add up to 2 ‘Branded’ Spell/Trap cards from your Deck to your hand.” Plays into the Albaz shtick well, while also being a semi-beatstick if necessary.
Man, I was just thinking about Deck Masters today and here you are with a Deck Masters Video. I'm a Dark World main and I have at least 2 Deck Master ideas. 1. Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World: "Once per turn, when you discard a card(s) by a Card Effect, you can destroy 1 card on your Opponent's sode of the Field." 2. Ceruli, Guru of Dark World: "The first time you discard a Dark World Monster(s) by a Card Effect for the Turn, select 1 of them and the discard Effect becomes an Effect by your Opponent." Optional choices 3. Zure, Knight of Dark World: "Once per turn, when you discard a Card(s) by an Effect, you can draw equal to the amount of the cards you discarded." 4. Renge, Gatekeeper of Dark World: "Once per turn, when you discard a Card(s) by an Effect, you can target 1 Dark World Monster on the Field, that Monster gains 2100 ATK until the end of that Turn."
Hi I love your videos and how much love you put into all of them and how in depth you go into the rules and lore of the game. Could you please make an archetype video on the Magical Musketeer cards.
