Yes it's cool, but it means you need to put it into your deck and it's a hard garnet. I really don't think adding bricks is worth making the second effect live. Sure it's a better target than blue eyes or obilisk, but i don't think it's better than not playing a target for it at all.
@hannessteffenhagen61 I think it is way more low investment than the World, which is high investment, high risk for a high reward meanwhile Beast King is a singleton in a Deck goes plus 3 off one or two cards with a great return off 1 card
@@Machinegundon64 yes, it's better than another bad card, but it's still pretty bad. Adding bricks for some potential better payoff that only works if you're already winning is usually not worth it.
@hannessteffenhagen61 So if Brilliant Fusion was unbanned the original Garnet wouldn't be worth running? Keep in mind this tech is tied to a literal brilliant Fusion like card, which is searchable. It is the most optimal tech? Ofc not but floating from a banish from ABC to a field nuke is worth it for most games
@@Machinegundon64 "So if Brilliant Fusion was unbanned the original Garnet wouldn't be worth running?" Unironically, yes, for most decks. Getting an extra blank body and an extra normal is not worth an ED slot and a garnet in the deck for most modern decks. Things like e.g. the melodious exist these days which are much better, and even they're not worth running in every deck. Most modern decks simply do not rely on normal summoning as much as decks in 2018. But aside from that, this isn't a remotely fair comparison. Brilliant Fusion gets _something_ starting from nothing but a single spell card. Running Barbaros gets you a pop if you succesfully tag out ABC or new-XYZ while having the new spell in GY and you haven't drawn Barbaros yet. That means it's conditionally a strong effect when you've managed to set up already, which IMHO isn't a very good justification to add a brick to your deck. Most people even cut things like in-archetype trap cards because they're sick of drawing them going second and would rather play more hand traps or board breakers, I don't see where you're gonna find the room to put a card that's actively bad to draw.
@@manjackson2772 wait- this is EASILY a two of in flat dm because you can go this or souls into linkuriboh and just errata link to say level 1 dark monster. (konami errating tho lmao)
@LordBeau That's irrelevant to what I was talking about... Actually wait the new support kinda sucks for Ojamas you have to commit your Ojamasimilations so you can saryuja/Appo before you get light locked
Beast King Barbaros to nuke your opponent's board. Or, as shown here, The World so they just don't get to play, ever. Might be others, but all the ones I can think of don't have 3k+ attack.
I know it's the most boring option, but if it's Nibiru, that means you don't add any bricks to your deck, and you get a piece of insurance that makes it nearly impossible for your opponent to OTK you if they break your board. Then you have the entire ABC lineup in grave for your crack back. Seems busted to me.
@@halowaffle25You have to normal summon the card after, so you will ended up with a Rocky Blue Vanilla on your side of the field in the end. Not a good search target
They likely didn’t do Arcana Force because there’s no way they expected a living human being to mald about Arcana Force being passed over to the degree that MBT did here
I bet they couldn't decide if they wanted it to be effectively a new archetype where decks play literally none of the old cards, or if they wanted to do the thing where you're forced to play the old cards as bricks to turn the new cards online.
Photon hypernova was based on Galaxy/Photon, used by Kite. The Tachyon cards are used by Mizar with the only shared ground being Galaxy eyes. Kite focuses on light, Mizar is more focused on dragons.
@@REvoLverj98i mean jaden as one itself fulfill your whole criteria as protag and antagonist. The evil hero more fiend based and the normal hero more warrior based.
@@REvoLverj98 funny enough, they don't share monsters (Mizar in his final duel vs Kite didn't even summoned main deck monsters thanks to "the seventh one" bringing C107 immediately), but their final duel had a plot point about how "if both use galaxy-eyes, that means they most likely have the same spells and traps".
Just for clarification Photon and Tachyon arent the same archtype(atm thier are only 5 Tachyon cards in the game). Theyre two related archtypes and this support is clearly trying to make the effort to give Tachyon its own seperate gameplan(which is why not a single one of the new cards list Photon monsters.)
Konami: Nerfs mind crush because it allows the user to get an unfair amount of knowledge from the opponent Also Konami: "Let's give trickstars a hand reader."
in archtype effects being op is absolutely the ONLY thing konami should be focusing on unless they wanna errata/ban like half the cardpool or completely change some rules
The Duelists of [Attribute] sets are not strictly "only print monsters of this attribute." It's always been "cards representing duelists who predominantly used this attribute." The first pack, the Dark one, had some Water monsters for Marik, and the Wind pack had some Light monsters for Sherry.
@@bluedemontr-whisperofwind-2296 i really hope animation chronicle one day prints the STU card of the A-Z LIGHT Union Monster archetype. maybe change the effects to make it useful
Him and most of Yugitube likes the smell of their own farts and the sound of their own voice. These cards aren't once per turn, that in itself invites loops and other silly things
@@LinessAlexander reminds me of dpyugioh. Funny enough, they only care about hyper busted game breaking cards. then immediately complain about how unfair they are
Not gonna lie. I was already looking into marincess because the whole dexk core is under 10 bucks and seeing this, dear God. Talk about absolutely batshit broken.
0:41 The marincess trickstar 4:31 Depending the context, it is BOTH Yuri (as a lot of magical girls/warriors are), and self-cest 12:59 So Kinda sad and funny this is the card that finally makes easier to summon Obelisk. Too bad the artwork doesn't even shows obelisk or blue-eyes. I am personally sad the new "ABC - VWXYZ" support didn't even try to go for the Chazz route instead of the Kaiba route. They could have easily gone for the missing letters: DEF, or PQR (funny enough, STU, already appeared in anime in form of a equip spell: Dimensional Destruction Cannon - Super Thunder Unit). Maybe include the Mechojamas. You can still have the "search obelisk / blue-eyes" for the sake of nostalgia pandering.
Yeah!! idk how I feel about the special summon effect being 1 per duel but I guess you only need to play 1 anyway since you'll just mill it with Blue Tang and if you draw it you mill sea horse and special aqua angel instead from hand Doesn't look like there will be much of a grind game looking at the new cards, 1 turn or bust (idk about meta, just an outsider perspective)
@@gabrielyamatoy.matodraw5570 Once per duel effects are good way to print overly good cards to push an archetype up on its start without making it a nightmare.
So.. if I'm reading this write, if you open X and Z (or one and a way to get to the other) you can: NS X, equip Y from deck, SS Y w/ its own effect -> Y equip Z from hand, Z SS itself -> Y & Z into Union Controller, seach Hangar/etc. -> then if you have any way to reborn Y you can equip and SS Z -> you now have X, Y, and Z to go into the new triple fusion, and you also just searched Hangar so you have access to the entire ABC line... Seems good
The Earth Machine fanatic in me sees the potential in running a small Machina package with these new Union guys. Like 2-3 gearframe, 1 each of Fortress, Citadel, and Ruinforce, 1 Unclaspare. The basic Machina line makes Gear Gig to search an XYZ/ABC piece, then can make plat gadget with the dumped fortress off of unclaspare. Then later when you use your 3k search, you can grab either citadel or ruinforce to get another fortress summon. Could be cope, but there's a lot of incidental synergy that's really cool. Especially with gearframe itself being a union.
@@SirGrimLockSmithVIII the lock only occurs from the ED, so it's not really an issue. You would just do your Machina combo first, if you have it. That being said, I didn't realize their new spell only searched *light* unions, which is very unfortunate for Gearframe, but you still have all the other benefits, like being able to loop Fortress like crazy.
In regards to that Union spell meant to search Obelisk: Why hasn't Konami just made an Archetype for the God Cards yet? Seriously, give us Egyptian God retrains, give us SEPERATE ARCHETYPES for each of them PLEASE...maybe make it good, then watch the money flood in
@Argenta_Rosa Yeah, but I'm talking about dedicated actual archetypes with modern retrains of the Gods to actually make them playable. The Ra stuff is the closest to actual support while the Suit Knights and this are just poorly tacked on to legacy support of Completely separate decks because "they did it in the anime."
@ethanmacdonald8568 Not retrains but Ra's anime forms but ok. And yes, the Gods HAVE support cards but I'm talking dedicated archetypes. Honestly, why is that so hard for people to understand?
imo making an archetype goes against the nostalgia. There weren't many archetypes, just a bunch of dudes that had some incidental synergy. I like the new Spell in that regard because it doesn't explicitly call for a god card.
How does Detonating Kuriboh not target? It equips as an equip spell so it continually targets and doesn't work on untargetable monsters. I guess it doesn't target when you activate the effect but it has to equip to the monster it responds to so your opponent still knows what you're going to effect.
Someone gets it. I remembered Someone got mad at me because I kept trying to explain to them that the lack of targeting being mentioned on the card did not do much like they thought because it still has to equip to that specific monster on resolution.
new activation can search ZA-WARUDO!, apoqliphort towers, obelisk, timelord, beast king barabos, blue--eyes monsters, volcanic doomfire & his retrain (the card doesn't specify that the monster you add can be normal summoned or set, so you can add the chaos monsters), chaos dragon levianeer, envoy of the end, envoy of the beginning, BLS, drytron rituals. ZEILGIGAS (gishiki)!, the trains(knight express knight)!, white knight dragon, horus dragon level 8. also an ftk with za warudo
Notably the 3k+ body you get to search and normal with the trap doesn't require being Light. I wonder how many good monsters you can normal with 3k+ attack that do something incredible on-summon.
Omg they banned baron, barreload, upgraded the master duel UI and finally retrained xyz? Dreams do come true. I might cry. I told them retrains were the way to go. The old cards need to match their lore to face this new shit
love that the y dragon is an infinite combo you can use to insta win the maxx c challenge. and don't worry cause if your wondering how you'll get a y in your hand.... x gonna give it to ya
Josh's paleo deck has lines that go to a marincess link and has tons of mills. Its counter intuitive but it can use this marincess card 😂 Or maybe tearlement
I think we should absolutely not let Arcana force be playable. If it becomes playable as a dedicated deck it's just going to be a consistent The World turbo AKA FTK every game This deck already does The World turbo and we do not need any Arcana Force cards that are not 50-50's
XYZ Hyper dragon cannon's effect is modular? "Once per Opponent's turn" does that mean it's not once per turn, on the player's turn who owns the monster so long as they have cost?
What do you mean by modular? It means that the effect specific copy on the field can only be used once per turn while it is the opponent's turn. However, if it were to be summoned from a public location (banished or gy) it would count as a new card, so you could use it again. Any card that says something like "once per turn: you can" means that the effect of that the restrictions apply to that copy and it can not be used again that turn if the controller of the card changes. But as stated earlier, reviving or summoning a new copy from the extra deck bypasses this. Any effect that say something like "you can only use this effect once per turn" means that each player can only use the effect of a copy of that card once per turn, and this is when you can take control of a monster the opponent and use the effect even of they already used it that turn.
it makes me just a tiny bit angry that the new xyz can't be used to summon xyz dragon cannon. like the point of given actual real retrains of the xyz unions would be so that you can make those ridiculous 100 materials contact fusions without playing 97 vanillas in your deck
The 'Xross' and 'Yearhead' are probably because X in Greek is used for 'chi' hence 'Chross' and Y is used for capital 'gamma', so it's 'Gearhead'. Z is also a Greek letter 🤔
I did some testing with the xyz cards and idk man they can do some strong combos but theyre so awkward to play with and youre playing a lot of bricks and normal summons.
