tbh this is why i kinda respected vanguard less sublety in that game(like at this point im 99% sure they only put in FIEND/FAIRY because too many cards at this point have the FIEND/FAIRY TAG that theyve basically dug themselves into a hole to change it to angel/demon
What does that even mean? The Poles, Irish, Itialian, Spanish and Bavarians are all catholic to their core. The concept of thinking everyone has read the bible twenty times is not uniquely american lmao.
It's really fucking weird for MBT to think that a pretty normal description of catholic ideas is weird and silly. Like, that's just how describing culture looks. Wtf does he think the descriptions of Japanese culture are saying?
"We've all been to a Requiem mass" Joseph the fuck are you talking about, I'm literally raised catholic in a Catholic dominant country and we've literally never heard of a requiem mass
As someone who was raised by Christian parents, same, I've never heard the word Lacrimosa in my life. This is not common knowledge, And while the translation notes are weird They are at least consistent with how they describe religions.
Most Christians dont even know there are not 10 commandments. There were 14 listed in Deuteronomy. And depending on the version of the bible almost always more than 10 given to moses on Mount Sinai.
@@thebelmont1995 Hmm, most likely forgotten, know wonder Jesus came back to give the commandment to love one another. Tell me, where do I find these other commandments?
Ikr? Like, I'm Italian, so i can easily read latin words and frases and translate them, and when i was a kid i used to go often to the church with my parents, yet i don't know all of these things, so i can only imagine how confused other people can be.
Even though it's not gonna be on the board together all the time but in-archetype they now have - Two Monster Negate (soft opt and not once per chain) - Spell/Trap Negate that is also a foolish and assist ritual. - Two Send face-up to GY that is not targetable by monster - Harpie's Feather Duster that is not targetable by Spell/Trap which can float. I also like the fact that they give them the machine lock for ritual so no more fairy nonsense which I REALLY LIKE. It gave them actual identity as its own archetype. I can FINALLY go back and do pure Drytron like when it first release.
After some a bit of testing. I can say that at the moment, Uninterruptted a lot of hand can consistently put out I:P + DAD + Mu Beta. but of course since Drytron loses hard when it comes to handtrap, yeah this shit still jank.
I think some people are analyzing Ancient Gear Dragon incorrectly. It's honestly moreso just meant for an Ancient Gear deck than the EARTH Machine pile, but its not really good in that either. The card is kind of confused. Going first the only Spell/Trap you're looking to negate is an Imperm, but Ancient Gear is a going second deck. One Spell/Trap negate isnt gonna change that So from that perspective, what are your options going second? Hope you open this one of so you can normal it after using Catapult, which doesn't seem reliable. Or use your Catapult summon on this, which is a waste. You need to open like Geartown and Wyvern together for this card to become remotely worth considering. But, not that reliable. And opening him sucks ass because let's say you normal this guy first, well then Catapult has been turned off. But if you wait, well your opponent has likely already interrupted you and Dragon's negate no longer serves a purpose I just don't see a point in this Also the Fiendsmith trap is nuts. You can wipe the board, and the later get rid of another card with the banish effect and sending thr big fusion to grave
The funny thing is he’s right that it’s bad, but he’s wrong about why. It’s not bad because you cant splash it in earth machine, it’s not meant for that. Earth machine is irrelevant, it’s like the 20th best combo pile deck. It’s bad because even though Ancient Gears can bring it out easily without worrying about the summon restriction, they have better to things to do with that. Dark Golem is the power card of the deck now, there’s no reason to waste a Catapult or a Tanker on this unless you already have a way to get Dark Golem. At best you’ll use Commander’s extra normal summon to bring it out, but that’s too late for its effect to be useful. And it’s still 500 attack- it should have been 500 defence if they wanted it to work with box.
Dark Golem has no special summon restriction. You summon it off popping Geartown. The fact that this thing bas the restriction and Dark Golem does not is legitimately very funny.
10:18 the entire guilty gear franchise is full of western band references, they named the main character the birth name of Freddie mercury for god’s sake
Let's not forget the unironicslly hundreds of characters and abilities from jojo's bizarre adventure who steal their names from songs, bands, and albums wholesale. Not like references, I mean there's a character who has ability named "Red Hot Chili Peppers"
MBT completely glossing over the fact that AG has multiple "ignore summoning conditiom" cards as well as it being an AG box target is a bit of a letdown. Oh well, maybe a lithium video will get him to re evaluate it
I've been playing Ancient Gears for a looooong time and I think Dragon is niche. Seems like it's meant to shore up AG's fatal allergy to going first, which is nice, but I don't think it's good enough. I'd use it as sideboard tech, maybe.
Okay so people keep saying this, but actually the vast majority of those "ignoring conditions" cards SPECIFICALLY state Ancient Gear Golem (or the fusion that fetches the other fusion). Like, Gear Frame *Cannot* get you this card, or any of the other things we associate with AG The only Ancient gear cards in the entire archetype that could summon this card ignoring its conditions are: - Ancient Gear Howitzer Dragon can summon this... if it's destroyed by battle - Ancient Gear Catapult can summon this if you control no monsters and you destroy one other card you control (so a continuous or Geartown, which we somehow searched without summoning a monster) - One of the other new-ish supports Ancient Gear Tanker on summon can summon an Ancient Gear from *hand* Really, there's no real way to work this into plays, and it's not worth it if you do, because it doesn't extend you at all. So like, I can summon it if I look for it, but that's the end of my turn unless I drew another "combo" as well. There's probably some convoluted line where you search this while summoning tanker to run it out of hand, but like Congrats, I ended on one backrow negate.
@@Rojo9149 >Ancient Gear Catapult can summon this if you control no monsters and you destroy one other card you control (so a continuous or Geartown, which we somehow searched without summoning a monster) You can Normal Wyvern, search Advance, Activate Advance and search Catapult. use the other effect of Advance to tribute Wyvern to draw a card, activate Catapult The problem comes after, because you're not summoning Dragon off of Catapult over Dark Golem
@@Rojo9149Catapult and Tanker are good enough. All your cards that don't ignore summoning conditions like Geartown are grabbing Dark Golem anyway, so whatever. And who gives a shit about the EARTH Machine pile? lmao get fucked peeps. Its not fixing any fundamental issues with Ancient Gear, but its a spell/trap negate, but its not awful.
MBT the only time I'd heard the term "Lacrimosa" was in the title of the game "Ys 8: Lacrimosa on Dana" and after finishing it I still don't know what a Lacrimosa is
@@aguilarraliuga1777Bro Yugioh is massive in Japan, we get the references to Shintoism if you're at least semi paying attention when you go to pray at a shrine
I'm glad MBT had fun with the Notes this time. Just because it's right beside us doesn't mean it can't feel as alien to people near us as other things from far away. Treating all religions in the same way is just a way of being thorough. It's little things like this that make the world a bit more wondrous than it had any right to be.
Yup a lot of people who were raised non religious would have no clue of any of it beside maybe kinda knowing some latin by ear so they can approximate what it means
@@matiaspereyra9392 It's not even just about being non religious either. There are so many other countries where Catholics make up like 0.34% of the population. That 0.34% stat is from Japan itself iirc lol. So providing an explanation of words and references is to be expected since these concepts are just as alien to so many people as Shinto references are to us. And tbh I was raised Catholic myself and I didn't even know what a Lacrimosa was 💀 To be fair, I became non religious quite a while ago so it's not like I had a full on Catholic upbringing.
Yu-Gi-Oh players: Konami makes archetypes too generic, for example Meteonis Drytron can summon any ritual monster, this is a design mistake. Also Yu-Gi-Oh players: The new Drytron cards lock you into Machine Rituals, they are unplayable. (I know both groups are probably different (some people will complain about everything) but the point is it doesn't matter what Konami does, players will never be happy).
That’s what I really enjoyed about Drytron and found cool is how it cheats the mechanic. I like these new cards but the lock is just a bit disappointing.
And if you don't need to send anything to the GY, you can make the DDD that will protect you from Nibiru and is a great interruption in the opponents turn.
The engine basically sky striker hornet drone you can make a 1 card beatrice or high wave king but just running 3 smith 1 copy of the token spell main deck wise
10:00 I mean, Yugioh is made by Japanese company and is loosely based on ancient egyptian religion neon genesis evangelion, death note symbolism... Japan generally really likes to explore other religions and make them into these sci fi/fantasy concepts that somehow dont follow the actual religion at all but are simultaneously completely respectful towards the og material
I'm not Catholic, but I'm Christian. I think it's cool that we're getting a Catholic archetype. Now if only Konami had the balls to release 'Link 8 Jesus of Nazareth'.
At first I thought Fiendsmith’s were Mozart references (Lacrimosa and Requiem were the first cards I saw) and then got confused when I got to Dies Irae.
Me who actually runs an actual Drytron build (with a fairy engine for protection, but now we have DAD for that). Also the 4k atk rituals have some really solid protection when DAD is out.
The DAD isn't a hard opt. You can loop it twice, first by linking it off with masq into dyna mondo, and then by tributing it with the new trap after it banished a drytron for cost and immediately ritual summoning it again (you'd need one additional material cause the trap only recurs 2, but you can just use a spent mu beta). DAD notably banishes for cost so you can trigger the trap even if it has been negated by let's say a dark ruler no more. This support is insane and makes the deck way less reliant on fairies! Also nova is a 1 card combo now
Pretty sure the Drytron stuff is actually pretty good under the assumption you don't get Drolled. You can get the new ritual out by 5 summons to not get nibbed and people seem to forget Fafnir actually has an effect on field. Ideally you end on what? Fafnir+new ritual+trap+a random link like S:P or Apo? That's a S/T negate, whatever link you end on, and then upwards of 4 monster negates from the ritual since you simply use the trap to refill your hand and summon ANOTHER of the new guy since he is soft twice per turn.
YES WHY ISN'T ANYBODY REALISING THAT YOU CAN JUST LOOP THE DAD!! You can also loop it a third time if you want to buy linking it off with masq into dyna mondo and then immediately reborning it
@@riccardomartina9517 Everyone genuinely ignores Dyna Mondo at any opportunity just because it’s ritual support. The card is insane and honestly might be a better link than S:P to get off I:P in some circumstances
The new drytrons can end on Appo 3(monster negates), The new Ritual(2 monster negates) the Drytron XYZ(with material for a Spell/trap negate) & I:P(to go into S:P) while also having the counter trap(monster summon negate) to back it up. People are sleeping on Ultimate Flagship Ursatron, Ursartic Drytron, & Ultimate Bright Knight Ursatron Alpha(spell/trap searcher).
Yeah, all the new lists I've seen just don't play the level 7. It's literally just a free extender that can search Nova, the trap, Meteonis, literally anything you need all for free
It’s funny to me that Fiendsmith is holding the Link-1 on his back, meaning he just peaces the fuck out when you summon it. “I have arrived! Take my coffin! Hi-yah!”
The searching spell being able to grab any Light Fiend is crazy. Some interesting things it can grab include: Majesty's Fiend, Santa Claws, HERO Adusted Gold, Archfiend Eccentrick, Mirror Resonator, Ms Judge, a few of the Kuribohs, and of course Fabled and Magical Musket monsters. I could see splashing in Adusted Gold, Dark Calling, and Malicious Bane. Adusted Gold is a Light Fiend, so works as material for the Fiendsmith fusions and links, and the Fiendsmith monsters with levels are level 6+, so work for making Malicious Bane.
That fiendsmith archtype instantly reminds me of dmc. Surprised nobody is saying that yet. Isn't the archetype just dante and his devil arms? If you played dmc it also has a ton of religious reference
>Website is literally just giving contextual information on the naming conventions of the Catholicism-inspired new archetype, just like what they do with all new cards >Joseph: makes fun of it for no apparent reason I have no clue why he was being so weird about this, it was painful to watch.
@@babrad right and if they got rid of ceaser the deck will not be playable in the current format, machinex is too squishy and Siegfried isn’t enough to carry either
Wild coming back to this cus at the time, we KNEW these would be good, but we were so unprepared with how game warpingly strong they would be with Necroqip and Closed Sky
11:15 most american moment like, idk if you thought about it, but GHOTI as a name literally makes sense ONLY in english, and that is why it remained as that in every single language how is it that you are joking about it only now that it's with other languages
"They're gonna have to ban Wave High King Caesar" No, they do not. What they should do is stop making cards that aren't problematic an issue by allowing enablers for them. Wave High King Caesar was NEVER an issue before these Level 6 Fiends came to being.
Currently have this archetype built with Fabled & Chimera. They already have great synergy, so the crossover with them and Fiendsmith is incredible. Also, honorable mention to Magnum the Reliever.
Dragon is INSANE... In Ancient Gear. It does literally everything for that deck. Catapult target, Box target, that deck can already get extra normals, and if your opponent has to go to battle to run over it, *_You're Ancient Gear, you win_*
I love drytron the artwork is cool and you get summon a bunch of silly ritual monsters, the new cards look cool i just wish their more in archtype ritual monsters for drytron
I love how drytron has a history of just being degeneracy turbo. During their heyday it was just 6 omni-negate herald, then eva got hit, then it felt like people weren't even willing to experiment with anything else and they fell off the face of the earth. Now people are trying to turbo out amorphactor pain and turn skips???? Lmao God forbid we try any of the existing other ritual archetypes if it doesn't have a floodgate to sit on
I'm surprised Drytron doesn't have a in archetype limiter removal, because that would be wild both for combo plays (the rituals get very free) and killing people.
What konami has actually given us are cards that are reaally good at making beatrice the guy himself is a 1 card beatrice without using your normal at the cost of the attack lock of the token You can access a different line to beatrice via making the fusion using any light fiend + any 1 guy at the cost of 4 extra deck slots and playing the smith as a hard garnet the archetype good at doing that is live twin but with the underworld goddess link 2 is coming before this does theoretically any deck and access that line with any 3 link material With beatrice being better than its ever been with transaction rollback im very curious to see if this archetype can actually bring beatrice to its limit
This was so weird. MBT is so catholic he doesn't even know that non-catholics play yugioh. Does he just assume everyone who speaks english is a catholic?
Why people thinking every piece of Ancient Gear needs to be put into Earth Machine soup? It's its own deck. Dragon is fine in AG. You can summon it off of Catapult to stop your Wyverns from being Impermed.
@@MiyaoMeow588 The other card you're more likely using Catapult on is Geartown, and you can summon Dark Golem off of that. It's not great, sure, but it's also not dogshit, coz you know once Dark Golem's out, people are gonna drop Imperms on it left and right.
@@reaflor91the way I see it, getting Dragon out as well as going through your normal plays is a 2 card combo, requiring opening either Geartown and Wyvern, or Geartown and Catapult, with the former being the better of the two And you also really, really don't wanna draw this, because unfortunately you can't summon this guy and then Catapult for Dark Golem So, not awful, but not that reliable
@@MiyaoMeow588 Yeah, understandable. It gets tempting to use as a first turn play coz Ancient Gear doesn't do anything going first outside of Howitzer pass I still wanna use it personally just cause.
just because of Caesar, Fiendsmith might be worth running in any deck that loses to nibiru, just run the bare minimum 7 card main deck and 2 card extra deck engine, there are no garnets since even Lurrie can be used with any discard...or even normal summon it if you reaaaaally need to
@@aerenntyne1099 Think about how many non-engine are required to play this format for example. Plenty of decks could find the room to play a 4 card engine, 2 spare ED slots and still play 12-15 non-engine especially for such a strong payoff. Granted I think the format will creep down in power pretty significantly when these cards release so maybe going below 12 non-engine in 40 will be possible again.
With Nu, I can say this thing is amazing for extension. Also makes the Field Spell/Nova into 1 Card Combo if uninterrupted, since Fafnir add Nova, Nova Summon Nu from Deck, Nu add whatever Drytron you need (usually Alpha or Zeta), use the added Drytron to Tribute Nu to summon themselves, and Nu can come back again via it's own effect. You could even then XYZ Mu Beta Fafnir to make sure Nu doesn't Banish itself. (The lock is troublesome though since means basically just Drytrons, but I understand that Konami doesn't trust us after Herald Drytron was born)
It's a 1 card DAD (you search Alpha with Nu, Alpha searches DAD, Mu Beta foolishes Meteonis, You return Meteonis to hand and activate it to summon DAD by tributing the whole Mu Beta)
People running drytron can still run the new support and jank crap like pain, Nu 2 only locks you out of ritual summoning non machines on *your* turn Meaning you can still go into dyna mondo and just summon pain on your opponents turn as soon as it starts. Plus fairy shenanigans will still be strong at least in terms of resources, since its not like you still cant tribute benten from the hand and get other stuff rolling. I run a herald/drytron with diviner as a solid synchro package, get diviner, pop either a n'tiss or an arc light depending on board state, get her to level 6 and use a chaos valk to go into Baron. Its not meta by any means but it packs a punch when it needs to.
Quite ironic that these fiendsmith cards should be announced while Shogun is currently out on Disney plus talking about how the catholics tried to convert Japan 😂
Spells like Tractus and Ground Xeno that Fusion Summon as a graveyard effect the same turn you use their "front" half are pretty crazy card design. I like it.
I think people are dogging on Drytron so hard because they have PTSD from Herald nonsense. It also loses to Droll, but so does F-King, RACE, anything rogue.
I'll still try Fiendsmith/Live Twins full of copium when it comes to MD. Fiendsmith artwork looks cool and I've wanted to play Twins for a long time, but I really do not like Spright.
Why do people know this catholic stuff by heart? I thought going to church was an actual meme. Like why would I need to know Lacrimosa? That just sounds like fantasy nonsense.
