One of my favorite things about Longirsu is his equipment; a purple lance, orange shield, and red armor - exactly the same as the world legacies. And because they can change shape/size as shown by the chalice, there's a nonzero chance that he really is wielding the World Lance, Shield, and Armor.
I mean there's also the fact that he's using a shield now that he failed to protect his sister before and most likely didn't want to lose anything again
Hes probably using the equipment of the Mekk-Knights..oh wait they got destroyed and Knightmared and destroyed again yeah hes wielding the world legacies
My main takeaway from this lore wise is that building a robot army to protect my robot-replica sister is a healthy coping mechanism that more people should try.
My reaction to Dingirsu nowadays: "So, Auram thinks he's so cool turning into a big golden Centaur with a sword? I'll show him! I'll be a giant golden centaur with a Lance and Shield! That'll teach him!"
Also does anyone else think that Longirsu is using the World Lance and World Shield? Like, we've seen that the World Chalice can seemingly change sizes, and it would make some since for Ningirsu to try to use those relics.
I remember there was concept art that revealed he's wielding the World Lance, Shield, and Armor I don't remember where I saw it, but it was probably YGO Organization
Sadge you didn't mention the Topologics, since they were great tools for Orcust, with Gizmek Oroshi in GY, being able to trigger any Topologic effect on demand. Great vid overall tho'!
Making the links require Effect monsters only is a nice lore touch, Ningirsu is basically abandoning the World Chalice tribe all together in this endeavour, with a non-corrupted Ib being incompatible with his archetype, at least until she's revived as Justicar anyway.
Orcust is a fun deck that i played with the ishizu and P. U. N. K. cards in Master Duel. They have one hell of a grind game and allow for a lot of fun. Shame Tear killed the Ishizu cards
I think the only thing keeping Orcust at bay was the Superheavy Samurai variants. I suppose we'll have to see how those do in Master Duel to know if they were right to fear them. With scarecrow gone, I think its high time for Harp to return to the TCG. Also, definitely should've mentioned two cards that are banned in the TCG but very legal in Master Duel for the tech picks - Curious and Chaos Ruler! Lunalight, PUNK, and Danger! all play well with Orcust especially when the aforementioned cards are legal - before Tearlaments were released in Master Duel, I played a 60 card Grass Lunalight Orcust PUNK Ishizu Raidraptor pile deck - and it's one of my all time favorites, able to go into IP Unicorn Dingirsu plays alongside Masquerena and/or Cyber Dragon Infinity through Wise Strix into Rank Up Magic Soul Shave Force.
I think it's funny tha Crescendo can search H.A.M.P., though I'd wait for Camelia to come out before trying out Striker Orcust in a serious capacity. And even then, I'd still probably prefer using I:P, World Legacy Awakens, or even Spiritual Dark Art: Greed to trigger that card's floatingnl effect over Orcustrated Release's(though if you REALLY want to use that card for sone reason, at least Camelia can guarantee your opponent having a Link monster if that effect goes through.
The hoops to get a positive out of Release is so random. I mean you need Lair of Darkness to tribute the opponents monsters and have....DNA Surgery out too to have all monsters on the field into machines. That's 3 cards (2 of them being bad and continuous cards makes it worse) just to do something..JEEZ
Has Nova done a Lore dive into the World Legacy themes & archetypes? Because after watching this and the other videos featuring World Legacy cards or connected to them I'm very curious about the overall story.
Just in my opinion phantom knight orcust is a really deck phantom knight give is the discard it need with torn scales and the the negates it can produce can be ridiculous at times then all u need is another dark monster along side the link 2 orcust monster can get u into Rusty Bardiche
Ah, Orcust. Easily my favorite deck of all time. I just wish it had more support, and that Konami would stop being cringe and give us back Harp Horror. Also, just imagine if Galatea allowed the cards she sets to be activated that turn. That would have been so crazy.
So sad we might never get harp back beyond more than 1 with how abusable this deck is with all sorts of engines and combos. I just love the grind game and everyone overlooks it in Orcust because of the way YGO design has been going for several years :(
