It woukd have the effect to special summon itself if you control a bamboo sword, and then equip one from hand or field to itself. During the End phase, detach an equip card attached to this monster;add and equip card from the deck to hand.
You forgot that it needs a field spell as well. It'd be cool to get something like a training dojo that gives a real attack boost to monsters equipped with bamboo sword cards. And maybe a generic ritual monster that capitalizes on the bamboo swords, perhaps a dojo master
Or perhaps the field spell could be a Bamboo Forest that adds one Bamboo Sword card from your deck to your hand? Perhaps at the cost of tributing a monster? Discarding seems too easy. I think a Tribute is counterintuitive enough to make it balanced, but still quite good.
@@clarkside4493 they already have one searcher, but it wouldn't exactly be redundant considering that the theme of the engine is deck thinning. I do like the idea of a bamboo forest field spell though, especially if they made a Panda themed monster to go with it for the archetype.
I know they wouldn't, but I wouldn't mind a Bamboo Sword Ritual Monster and Ritual Spell. It'd be kinda neat as well as maybe having an effect(s) based on how many Bamboo Sword cards you activated with different names or something similar. As for a Quickplay, maybe pop a different Bamboo Sword card to pop an opponent's card and then be able to retrieve a differently named Bamboo Sword card from your GY.
@@RobertWilliams-of5bu call the ritual "bamboo sword offering and instead paying the price with monsters you pay the cost with bamboo sword cards except bamboo sword offering
@@codyholley Love the ideas so far! Maybe the monster could have a recycle effect when it returns to the hand for the bamboo sword cards used for its summon or just in general?
I think a few monsters would be nice like a card called bamboo swordsmith, which lets you search out a card, but give it low stat, like 500 atk or something, then we have Bamboo Swordmaster, lets say it can be special summoned by tributing a monster equipped with a bamboo sword, and its effect is that it lets it equip an bamboo sword in your graveyard, give it like high atk or something and an effect based on the number of bamboo swords equipped to it.
Make it's attack it's level, times bamboo equip spells equipped to it, times 1000. Low level, but it can't be normal summoned or set, and must first be special summoned by its effect
@@Lore-Cracker-fool if thats your view its fine, but i think if not a monster then at least a spell showing who created the bamboo swords and its original user.
@@TGSAnimeWhile a sword itself wouldn't make sense as a field spell, I think a sword fighting dojo could be interesting. But how would the effect work?
Quick Play can be something like equipping a Bamboo Sword from your Deck or GY, a field Spell could be Bamboo Training Dojo. Monsters Equipped with a Bamboo Sword takes half the damage from battle and survive one battle by sending a Bamboo Sword to the GY. The End Phase can be to search a Bamboo Sword if you do not have one on the field.
Interesting fact: Back in the early Duel links era, there was an OTK deck using Bamboo swords with the monster "Woodland sprite" (Deals 500 damage when equipped card is sent to the graveyard). The monster is still banned since then.
Adding some monsters with different attributes to match the spell cards artworks. For example a dark monster since Cursed Bamboo Sword has dark colours in the artwork and traps to this archetype might make it slightly better
Honestly they could release Bamboo Sword Ritual Monster and Ritual Spell. Heck, the ritual monster could be just a Bamboo Sword with no wielder, with 0 atk, can be equipped to another monster like union monsters and it is also can be splashable in decks.
It could be something like magicians rod thats dark magicians staff projecting a translucend form of dark magician. Kinda like a ghost possesing the sword
Even though it's missing a field, quick-play and ritual spell, I think a pendulum monster would be perfect. And even better if it was the impachi archtype as it is a training dummy
Shaman King, what a throwback. One of my favourite anime when I grew up...now I kinda wanna rewatch it lol A bamboo sword ritual would be funny. Maybe have the spell tribute other bamboo spells. The monster could be some "spirit of the bamboo sword", who interacts with swords in grave in some way.
What If...? Future "Bamboo Sword" cards, individually, had effects that negate Monster Effects, Spells, and Traps during certain phases or later turns. Or, a TRAP "Swift Bamboo Sword" that can only be activated when your opponent attacks while you control a "Broken", target and negate one card on the field.
For the ritual spell, they dont HAVE to make a monster for it, they could make it like those generic ritual spells that can summon a monster of a specific type or attribute or whatever
"Spirit of Bamboo" "This card is used to Ritual Summon any 1 'Warrior' Ritual Monster. You must also send Monsters from your Deck to the GY whose total Levels equal the Level of that Ritual Monster. When the Ritual Monster is summoned, add one card with the name 'Bamboo Sword' to your hand from your deck or GY"
3:27 Look around you, look beyond! Edit: Ok, I want a Shaman King archetype, where the Shamans main-deck Spellcaster Monsters, and the Spirits are equip spells that give the Spellcaster they're equipped to an additional Attribute, Type, ATK/DEF, and some sort of effect. Like, Amidamaru makes the Shaman it's equipped to a LIGHT Warrior in addition to its types, gives it 2000 AKT/DEF and, I donno, once per turn when defeating a Monster in battle draws a card or something. It would rule!
you know i didnt realize till now but maha vailo would be a descent card to attach it to for it gains 500 atk for each equip card thats attached to it but there may be a few that would be better but thats the first that came to mind
Im working hard to make it a full playstyle, with full stun adding Terminal World to also block main phase 2. The best monster I have had success with making this happen - Fairy Tail Rella. You can discard cursed, and then equip that same cursed from grave, and still get the search effect. Hard to make a competitive deck though. Will happily take free tips.
I see a lot of comments talking about ideas for the other three kinds of spell cards and a ritual monster for the bamboo sword archetype. Here’s an idea for a trap card: Reverse Bamboo Sword; “this card can only be activated during your opponent’s battle phase. When this card is activated equip it to your opponent’s attacking monster. That monster can attack you directly and it’s attack can not be negated. If you have a bamboo sword in your spell/trap card zone when the monster equipped with this card attacks, gain life points equal to the monster’s attack instead and your opponent will take damage equal to the monster’s attack. During the End Phase the monster equipped with this card will be banished. The monster equipped with this card will be special summoned back to your opponent’s side of the field during their standby phase on their second turn after this card resolves. After this card resolves, you skip your next two Draw Phases.” What do you think? I feel like this effect could make or break a game for the player who uses it.
There's a VERY ICONIC archetype you somehow have not covered yet: THE SOLEMN archetype, aka the god will cards. You know, the iconic "God say no" cards who have shaped the game for two decades at this point.
a ritual spell called Rite of the Bamboo Sword you can tribute monsters or banish bamboo sword spells from the field/gy as the cost with the spell cards being treated as level 1 monsters a ritual monster called Master of the Bamboo Sword gains an effect for the amount of bamboo sword spells on the field
I actually made a Monster Card for this Archetype. Crafter of Bamboo Swords Attribute: LIGHT Type: Warrior/Tuner Level: 1 Atk: 0 Def: 500 Effect1: OPT: If you control a “Bamboo Sword” card, you can special summon this card from the hand. Effect2: If this card is summoned, add 1 “Bamboo Sword” Spell Card from your Deck or GY to your hand. It’s something simple, but effective. Thoughts?
Quick play spell and can be activated like a hand trap Breaking of Bamboo sword Probable effect : prevent 1 monster from being affected by opponents card effect by sending 1 bamboosword from your deck to the gy. And the Ritual can summon a ritual Monster that equip to your monster and be a proxy broken bamboo sword with additional effect.
Broken Bamboo Sword's effect is pretty useless unless you use it on "Armed Protector Dragon" who gains 500 Atk for every equip spell equipped to it, just thought it would be cool to let you know
A watt bamboo deck done right would be intense, as it can already attack directly to pull of some of the combos without the need for all the cards. add some mage powers in to be extra aggressive or just normal stall cards and boom. likely to slow still for modern meta but if pull of quick then full shutdown of opponents deck especially if you can get watt chimera in on the combos, no draw phase and quickly no hand.
Gintama is a pretty good anime with wooden swords.Honestly since they do crossovers all the time with other Shonem Jump show a bamboo sword ritual card that summons the White Yashka Gintoki would be awesome.
You forgot about field spells too, bamboo swords cover all but quickplay, ritual, and field spells. Shouldn't be too hard to make a field spell for the bamboo swords, something like Bamboo Dojo: Once per turn, discard 2 spell cards, add 1 bamboo sword from your deck to your hand.
I'm not sure but I believe that like a number of other archetypes, like Vampires, Gradius, and B.E.S for example, the Bamboo Sword archetype might be a Konami reference. I remember seeing similar items to some of the cards when I would play Castlevania Symphony of the Night back in high school.
This is kinda pedestrian. But there's a monster that does benefit from the Bamboo Sword Equip Spell cards. That card is Maha Vailo even though theres no Atk increase, Maha's effect adds 500 Atk per Equip Spell... potentially quite literally becoming....a beat stick 😂
I personally feel 3 cards would complete this archetype. Ritual spell (shows the bamboo sword be grabbed for training lets say). If a bamboo sword is on the field, you can use your oppenents monster to use as tribute but must be correct level (keep it from being too strong and limited) to showcase the student challenging the master Monster card (I dunno, man in white clothing standing in kendo position with the original bamboo sword) Say level 6 Earth Warrior Att 2000 Def 2200 1st effect-When summoned can search and play a bamboo sword from the deck instantly 2nd effect - during battle phase, depending is this card is in attack or defence, you can choose an opponent's monster to switch the same way this card is (Just thinking another way the bamboo sword can dictate play)) Spell quick play card - (in response if the monster gets destroyed, the card shows the monster holding the broken bamboo sword signalling lost battle) let's say this card can just destroy as many cards on your opposite I'd the field for each bamboo sword you have face up on ur side Rest of the archetype already seems quite good, and these extra inclusions I don't think would be too awful and defo not over powered What do yall think?
I'm willing to bet, just for fun, they make a quick play bamboo sword, and a ritual bamboo sword with a corresponding bamboo monster, but with 0 attack and defense, but it has an instant win condition needing all the bamboo swords in the grave.
Fan of Shaman King, nice man. Though I didn't know that was supposed to be a bamboo sword. I thought since he was wooden sword Ryu, I assumed well...a wood. Not a Bamboo which is technically wood but also grass...Bamboo is weird right?
scary scrolling around to see if i would make up a bamboo sword deck (without wincon draw exodia) just really like the equip cards and archetypes around them and the bamboo sword archetype is the most funny one equip spell that gives you 0atk boost ;D
Swift bamboo sword quick play if a monster attacks a monster you control that is equipped with a bamboo sword equip spell change all the monsters your opponent controls to defence position and add a bamboo sword spell in your graveyard to your hand
There is one use for broken bamboo sword that I can think of and that is to equip it to your opponents monster and then activate eternal rest which destroys all monster with equipped cards attached to them.
Ok here is a possible monster Kazuki the kenpo student Earth warrior level 3 effect Once per turn if is card is equipped with a bamboo sword equip spell; you can discard 1 card send the equipped spell to the graveyard, add one bamboo card except the sent card.
Benkei and Maha Vailo can use these cards as their big weapon. Cause Benkei can attack x the number of cards equip to it. And Maha Vailo increases attack x the number of equip cards to it (500). No wonder they won't put "Bamboo" monster cards cause they have one already. Also I saw some boss monster that also rely on equip cards.
Woo shaman king reference, nice For ritual, maybe can be A Generic ritual card for warrior type monster and take a bamboo sword card in deck or graveyard
No, as a little child, I thought the monster's attack became 0. I used to always try to bait an attack and swap the equip card to the opponent's monster.
I honestly either knew about this archetype and somehow forgot it or just didn’t know about it. As far as future content for future videos might I recommend either the salamangreat archetype or the Dinowrestler archetype?
Recently, I discovered a rather bizarre Yu-Gi-Oh archetype, which is saying a lot considering that this is Yu-Gi-Oh we're talking about, called the Gunkan Archetype. A series of monsters that are primarily Aqua-Type, Fire Attribute monsters, that are based on battleships that take on the form of sushi. Mainly the gunkan-maki. Is it possible to do an archetype video on this archetype, provided that you haven't done it already?
I think they need to make two more bamboo swords quick play and also ritual. Maybe they should make Bamboo swords ⚔️ for each different kind of trap cards that would be cool!!!! For a Monster They should make Bamboo Bushido Bounty Hunter 6 Stars Atk 2350 Def 2050 effect when summoned equip as many bamboo swords ⚔️ to this monster it gains 100 Atk points for each sword equipped to it if it would be destroyed destroy a bamboo sword equipped to it and it is not destroyed. Decrease its attack if it would lose one of its equipments!
Ritual Bamboo Sword: Send Bamboo Sword Cards from hand or deck to the graveyard. Special Summon a ritual monster from your deck to the field with a level equal to the number of bamboo sword cards to graveyard.
While not a Quick-play, they already have a card referencing Iaijutsu: Slash Draw. Would be nice if there was a Bamboo Sword card that made using Slash Draw easier, though.
Field spell variant: Dojo of the Bamboo Sword. It's effect is that every monster equipped with a bamboo sword gains a set amount of damage, drawback, only one monster could be equipped with one bamboo sword at a time. Debate.
The perfect ritual spell would be "bambo blank" sacrificing a monster with "broken bamboo sword" would ritual summon "bamboo samurai" who has 0/0 and for every bamboo sword on the field they gain 1,000/1,000 and if they are sent to the grave yard add one "broken bamboo sword" to your hand
Can you do the darklord. Their a dark fairy type monsters named after Mayan Gods I think. I used then but not all. They mainly use graveyard as a way to get them on the field
