One way of fixing the archetype is focusing on black luster Soldier away from BE and DM. Here is an Idea: LINK-1 3000 Down arrow 1 Ritual or Non-Effect "Black Luster Soldier" monster. Cannot be used as a Link material. Face-up "Seed" Spell/Traps cards you control cannot be targeted or destroyed by card effects. If this card is Link summoned: you can add to your hand 1 card that mentions "Black Luster Soldier" monster(s) or 1 "Black Luster Soldier" monster from your Deck or GY. Once per turn (Quick Effect): if your opponent activates a card or effect you can negate that effect, and if you do, banish that card. You cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck or activate their effects the turn you activate either of these effects except "Black Luster Soldier" Monsters. The Original BLS is searchable by the field spell and Pre-prep. We can also use Ritual Foregone! This is the first “Seed” continuous spell, Rebirth Seed: You can only control 1 "Rebirth Seed". "Black Luster Soldier" monster(s) you control are unaffected by your opponent's card effects that do not target them. Apply these effects depending on "Black Luster Soldier" Monsters you control: ● Link: Once per turn: Special Summon 1 "Black Luster Soldier" Monster from your hand or GY or that is banished to a zone your "Black Luster Soldier" Monster points to ignoring its summoning conditions. ● Effect: The effects of "Black Luster Soldier" monsters you control can be activated as Quick Effects. ● Non-effect: "Black Luster Soldier" Monsters control cannot be switched nor they can be tributed by your opponent. ● Ritual: You can activate Trap cards that mention "Black Luster Soldier" Monster(s) directly from your hand. These two cards are crazy, they won’t break the deck and combined with the support you made they will be wonderful. They can work with both “Seed” and “Super Soldier” cards, and it gives the BLS Link 3 a place in its archetype.

Yeah I totally agree! BLS should stand as its own archetype without leaning on DM and Blue-Eyes. I really like your ideas! Especially making all BLS monster effects Quick Effects. That would definitely make the older cards much better and make some of them playable and pretty good!

@duelsanctuary9 күн бұрын
I wouldn’t recommend adding Dark Paladin to this specific build since it would require running some Dark Magician cards, which would hurt the Deck’s consistency. I didn’t consider Dark Paladin while building this Deck, but I love the idea, it's such a cool monster! Maybe I should try making a Buster Blader/Dark Paladin focused Deck sometime 🙂

How di i protect the fusion blader and buster dragon from card effects
@duelsanctuary9 күн бұрын
If you're referring to the Prologue of Destruction GY effect, it unfortunately cannot protect Buster Dragon or the Buster Blader Fusion, as it only protects 'Destruction Sword' cards. Destruction Sword Flash is another trap that could protect them, but it's way too situational and hard to set up. That's why I recommended in the combo section to wait for your opponent to commit something to the board before summoning, so they can't use cards like Impermanence or Lightning Storm on your Buster Blader and Buster Dragon. Another great way to protect them is by summoning Red-Eyes Black Fullmetal Dragon alongside them 🙂

another good thing about the BLS ritual build is the access to both Manju/Senju, which are Light monsters, and the ritual Djinn, which are Dark and dumpable with Foolish and help with fetching your ritual stuff and buffing up your ritual monster, and work with envoy of beginning too if you're desperate. granted, it's a bit of an older way to do it, and the little knights are still warriors, so they still benefit from ROTA and Allure, but even with that, it's like putting a bandaid on a bayonet wound.
@duelsanctuaryАй бұрын
Yeah Manju and Senju are currently both good options for sure! I play Manju in most BLS builds. But it says a lot about the current state of the deck that you still have to rely on 20+ year old consistency cards.

@@duelsanctuary mainly because they're a light/dark duo, even in a GOATS like format like the old games with how little support ritual monsters had, Demise is still a great monster, Ruin less, but it's more for the theming than anything else. If you're also lucky and like bricking yourself to oblivion you can run instant fusion (still at 3 copies back then) to get a free ritual tribute for a measily 1000 LP from level 1 to 5, which is a lot of old fusion monsters (even though thousand eyes restrict was banned back then)

Great video, i think adding better main deck monsters for searching spell/monsters can be great too, something similar to what gishki has where you can discard one to add a gishki ritual spell and discard another to add a ritual monster, this will also help with GY setup for your chaos plays and ritual summoning from the GY. I also think that leaning on the ritual aspect is so cool for the deck, BLS is such an iconic yu gi oh card and ritual summoning was always cool to me so i hope it can one day be the best ritual strategy in the game.

Would Instant Fusion or Ready Fusion be too slow to drop out a Level 5+ Dragon or Fiend for Max Metalmorph or would that eat up too much space in our Extra Deck to even consider? I like those cards, so I look for any excuse to use them.
@duelsanctuary2 ай бұрын
Those cards are definitely really cool! But I didn’t really think about them while working on the video, so these are just my initial thoughts without testing or trying to make them fit. I don’t think Extra Deck space would be the issue. Unfortunately I think they are be too slow because you can’t use them on turn 1 because Instant Fusion and Ready Fusion destroy the summoned monster in the End Phase. So you wouldn’t be able to tribute it with Max Metalmorph during the opponent’s turn. If we get future support that lets us summon one of the Metalmorph boss monsters on turn 1, it would be much easier to use Ready Fusion / Instant Fusion monsters to tribute.

@duelsanctuary2 ай бұрын
Great question! The way Max Metalmorph is worded, it indeed says 'tribute one face-up monster,' which might seem like it could include your opponent's monsters. However, tributing a monster typically means you must control the monster unless the card specifically states otherwise (like Lava Golem for example). So in this case you can only tribute one of your own face-up monsters to activate Max Metalmorph's effect. I hope this helps!
