Fun fact : In OCG their monster's original names are based from different type of guns like Magnum, Uzi, (Desert)Eagle, even a friggin Stinger launcher.

Now THIS Archetype is one of the only reasons why I don't COMPLETELY hate Pendulums: they give Normal Monsters a chance to be good while not themselves having effects.

I am ONE MINUTE into the video and i am already laughing at the editing work. Damn it Emony you editing wizard!

This archetype need the "broken link 1 tm" to fix all its issues With master rule 4 the deck lost all its spark Maybe a link 1 that says "you can pendulum summon igknight monsters from your face up extra deck to any of your main monster zones while this card remains face up in the extra monster zone"

The orignal tallyho lore deck

One thing I love more than the way the cards/deck is supposed to play is the theme of it all. We recently got a look at the Centurians, which is essentially Gurren Lagann. And the Igknights seem to be a fire-themed, bumbling super sentai team who have a terrible habit of blowing themselves up in a comical fashion. Win or lose, I'd love playing with these cards

I was today years old when I learned that Nova's name is Zane

Beyond the pendulum needs effect monsters so you can't really make it in igknights all too well

They don't blow themselves up. They blow eachother up. Very different. lol

And, of course, since they're normal monsters that (kinda) swarm, you can sacrifice them for Tyrant's Throes, which in this deck is sort of a one-sided Vanity's.

Now would be a good time to mention I have used igknights in Infernoble Magikey. They get me to Isolde, then I can pend them back, and finally pop them to search Bradamante!

Nova, I understand that Igknights were part of a historical event recently, but considering the recent Majespecter support, it probably would have been wise to wait to make this video

Considering how sick it was that a guy used igknights for a Exodia combo I'd say my interest in the deck is peaked.

Jeff literally joined in the game due to his son. He PLAYED THE GAME. BECAUSE OF HIS SON. He is literally the yugi boomer to all yugi boomers.

WOW. The editing really gives this video replay value. I usually just hear it like a radio / podcast, but now I have reasons to pay attention to the visuals

People paid attention! I kept dropping the name! They have uses I still don't see many use where they can. They are engines for XYZ summons that no other can do in house. The only bit they lack beyond some negates would be a way to get the ED monsters back to hand. There is a link monster that can work well: Gransolfachord Musecia. The deck builder in Duel Links has Zubaba General in the ED. Brilliant play!! Pop the pends for Champion or Lancer and equip to General for 4500+ to answer to.

gotta say, the editing here is immaculate

This archetype is just a one or two card release away from being a hilariously effective ritual support deck, one fire warrior or link that uses normal monsters with an effect that can search a ritual spell gets you high/advanced ritual art and plenty of normal monsters to tribute and even better if they get a link monster that easily recycles them from grave and extra deck.

Guns(again!)

Burning Draw is always a good card to include in any Fire deck. Sure, it Fire licks you, but you can still play the deck, since you are pretty much playing with Fire cards.

The Igknights, our favorite Exodia's engine

First of the Dragons is another good tech pick for Igknights

Wait, is your real name "Zane" ? Or was that a part of the bit?

I have to give Igknights credit for being in-art and on-theme to one of my favorite goofball cards: Oops! (Normal Trap, targets and destroys a card you control.)

I really wanted to get into this deck, I still do but I’m not gonna lie to you I have no idea how to use them LOL

i use these guys in my shitpost exodia deck all the normal igknights, 2 reloads, 2 Heart of the Underdog, some misc high defense normal monsters, and exodia. in my extra deck i have a couple copies of Grandsolphachord Coolia for actual offense if i can't get an Underdog quickly. i also have slypher in there.

Great vid! Some of the SFX were too loud though. :S

I've always wanted to play Igknights, but I've never really understood how they do what they do

Me and the boys called this deck as Instagram Knight

If igknights ever got support i would rather it be a synchro that doesnt need tuners, like harpies, with a effect that reloads destroyed pendulums into the hand for more material for the "shooting eachother to win" pendulums. And pendulum normal monsters support in general, they deserve better

Gosh I’ve always been interested in these cards but idk if it’s even worth it in this day and age

4:50 either this script is quite old or there is something i am missunderstanding. Arent we already on MR5? MR4 is over for quite a bit of time already

Just wanna say, you miss-accounted for the fact Champion and Lancer do not target the card they are placing back, just the Igknight they are returning to hand, so aside of unaffected cards or cards that make themselves go to the GY anyways, they will always be an option for removal. But yes, they generally aren't played simply because there isn't a need to run them when you can go balls to the wall as a combo/ftk deck. Not bad cards, just not useful in the situations Igknights find themselves in. This Archetype was also sadly the second biggest casualty of MR4 for pendulum's as it's entire gimmick got shafted, and the only deck I could rank worse off is Amorphage, whose only claim to fame was being floodgates, not pendulums, and didn't really even function as a deck anyways. Dinomist had Charge to recur to hand, and Majespecter could atleast try to shut your opponent down with a variety of interruption while also having a good amount of search, all Igknights got was consistency and a crap ton of some of the most powerful non-targeting removal in the game, at a steep investment. It also seems Konami was aware of the fact Igknights got scrapped in particular, because both Bad Aim and OOPS feature Igknights, and both are quite bad cards that felt more like jabs at the deck as opposed to meme references. It's also funny to note that the deck also didn't have a great time accessing Electrumite on it's own grounds and needed outside help, and until Ignis, quite literally could not make use of Beyond the Pendulum on it's own accord. The greatest saving grace is that Ash sucks against this deck, and Infernoble/Isolde just exist in the way they are.

My favorite Igknight card is the trap card "Oops!" if only because it's a joke card.

They just need a decent link 1 and they're back in business

Who here thinks Bakugo from My Hero Academia would run these as his deck? They might not have so many expletives, but I think they fit. Wait, Champion targets!?

Our team’s main goal is to blow up and act like we don’t know no one! Also, if anyone knows the name of the song used in the background during the archetype explain, I would appreciate it. I’ve been jamming to that song ever since I heard it on the Patreon release.

This deck cant even get past lets say… a reptile pile deck trying to out reptiliane musiline with volcanic lord!

I will always prefer Dark Templar

Igknights are dead now that isolde is banned :( rip isolde
