Thanks so much! I still need to grab some of the newer Winged Dragon of Ra support cards, but I'll definitely keep that suggestion in mind! There's one more Live Duel on the channel for you to check out, and after that, you'll be completely caught up! 😉kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJKkk3l7a9Fleqs We’ve just started brainstorming on the next one too!

Interesting! I hadn’t thought about combining Bloom Prima with Harmonist’s battle protection effect. Thanks for the suggestion!

Thank you! 😊 Glad you enjoyed it! We have another Duel with the Flame Swordsman Deck on the channel if you wanna see more :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJauhZeMZrujf6s

Yeah it’s definitely one of my favorite Extra Deck cards too! Such a cool design.

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. I also like Diviner of the Herald + Arc Light to search Any Ritual Spell or Monster. It also makes it easy to summon a Chaos Angel :)

@@duelsanctuary funnily enough, I used to run a chaos deck that relied on summoning Demise and Ruin, using Manju and the few chaos card that existed in the old Yu Gi Oh GX Spirit caller game. And I splashed BLS in there. It was bricky, but somehow it worked

@@tizianolocarno111 Oh that sounds really cool! I’ve never played with Demise and Ruin myself, but combining them with Chaos/BLS in an old format sounds super interesting. I might have to give that a try someday!

@@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)

Thank you! I hadn’t thought about the Gishki's while making the video, but that’s a really cool idea!

I have! kzbin.info/www/bejne/o17KdZJ6ZqmgitE

That’s a great point! Using it as a follow-up to Soul of the Supreme King does make sense.

Earlier in the combo at 14:20, we used Red-Eyed Dice to change Cork Shooter’s level to 6 ;)

Predaplant is on my to-do list! Not super soon. But I'm planning to cover all the Dimension Dragon archetype decks in the future. A Z-ARC Deck Profile is already on the channel :)

Odd-Eyes is definitely on my to-do list! But not super soon. I’ll probably tackle it when the new Odd-Eyes Synchro monster arrives in the TCG or hopefully when we get even more support in Alliance Insight!

Yeah I agree! So many decks cheat Fusion Monsters out in ways that almost make them feel like a Link-1 and not a Fusion. I really like the playstyle of the Melodious deck, and other than Ostinato, the Fusion mechanic feels pretty good.

Cool! I haven’t had the time yet to try out the new Metalmorph cards in a Red-Eyes Deck, but it’s definitely something I want to experiment with in the future. And you're right, Fullmetal definitely feels more like a proper boss monster for Red-Eyes!

@@duelsanctuary I cant explain now but I use a more Pure Form of deck building (If its in the archetype, fair game. if not, Staples to fill in what i cant) So you can make a decent red-eyes Fusion/burn deck Just Fuse the Red-eyes cards and the Metal cards! trust me, its more fun that way

Yes! Send the Dupligate to the GY, and when you reborn the Red-Eyed Dice instead of changing Daiko Duke's level to 2, reduce the Ultra Hounds level to 1 so you can make Clear Wing Synchro Dragon :)

They’re both definitely on my to-do list! but I don’t have them coming up in the short term.

@duelsanctuary well it's definitely worth the wait with the quality of the deck profiles

There’s definitely some synergy there! Runick cards really support a control playstyle. I’ll probably try it out myself at some point :)

@@duelsanctuary will also keep an eye out if you post a deck list here then 🙂

Yeah that definitely would make the deck a lot better!

Lady labrynth?

Arias butler i believe

Joey's Graverobber kinda stole Metalmorph during the duel yeah ;)

Why because the pot of prosperity or what ruined the video. It’s just fine with me, it’s modernized deck’s and prosperity is a meta modern Yugioh card. I don’t see the problem???

Thanks! I just added the deck list in the video's description. It’s not the exact list from this duel, but very close. It’s the one we used for the Metalmorph video, as I don’t have the original deck list anymore. We build these specifically for each video/matchup in mind. I was planning on doing a dedicated Flame Swordsman Deck Profile, but then they announced the new Flame Swordsman Metalmorph cards... So I'll probably delay that as we just started testing a new build that includes the upcoming Flame Swordsman cards set for release in Jan 2025. So, you can expect a full Deck Profile with explanations and combos around that time :)

@@duelsanctuary thank you! I’m looking forward to the new Metalmorph swordsman love the artwork direction there going with.

Thank you!

Totally agree! These more casual designed archetypes are so much more fun when played pure. The duels still feel modern, but a bit slower and more variety, rather than just negate after negate.

Absolutely! Flame Swordsman is one of the coolest casual archetypes they’ve released in the past couple of years.

Speedroids is definitely one of my favorite and most fun Synchro decks to play!

That’s amazing to hear, thank you! They take a while to make, but there’s definitely more on the way!

Nice! If you wanna see some gameplay, I just uploaded a Live Duel featuring a more pure version of the deck.

@@duelsanctuary along with my American bandana and my glock…just/k

@@speclove1 🤣

Thanks so much! We just uploaded a new Live Duel with some soundtracks you’ll probably enjoy too :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJauhZeMZrujf6s

Oh yeah I know! Exodia is the best example. Because the reason that deck can somewhat perform is because it can play a lot of unfun cards, like Shifter and Secret Village, which you really don’t wanna see in casual play. That's why we need 2 formats. The current advanced format where we can still see some cool stuff like that happen from time to time, and a lower powered format where these decks can be played as intended :)

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.

@@duelsanctuary Yeah, that's what I thought. Having a set Max Metalmorph survive until your next turn won't be easy.

There is, it's called the heart of the underdog. It's hard to get started but is fun but over time people start fighting about what over powered means and everyone gets upset and then they fight it ends. It's worse if you have goat/Edison/hat format people in the same card shop. They tend to sabotage it thinking it will make people want to play their format. And we all lose.

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!

@@duelsanctuary Understandable although why do I get the feeling that this is unintentional labyrinth support.... Stairs pointedly at a certain Butler and archfiend suit of armor who's value and variations of said deck made just skyrocket... Or is it just me

There is synergy with Lair of Darkness actually. You get those dark tokens out and you can use them to get your Metal moms out IIRC. Throw in some Virud cards and three Diabolosis retrain (the good one from the SD) and the deck is pretty good. It's a budget alternative to Dragon Link/Bystial control as well.

Thanks :)

Thank you!

For Master Duel, I'd recommend just adding 3 Maxx C. It's only one extra card since the Max Metalmorph cards aren't in the game yet. You don't have to run the typical negate Maxx C cards like Ash and Crossout because this deck can keep it's Special Summons in check under Maxx C.

Thank you!

Thank you! I recently got a similar question on another video. The reason we didn’t include the deck profiles is because we were playing with some banned cards, like Pot of Greed, and these deck lists were made specifically for these duels. But we’re planning another duel video soon, and I’ll start including the deck lists at the end of the videos from now on ;)

@@duelsanctuary that's awesome, keep up the good work! Greetings from Guatemala

Hi, thank you! The reason we didn’t include the list is because we were playing some banned cards like Pot of Greed, and the deck lists were specifically made with this duel in mind. But we’re planning on doing another duel video soon, and I’ll include both deck lists at the end of that video ;) There is a Shining Sarcophagus Deck Profile on the channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o17KdZJ6ZqmgitE and I’ll get around to doing one for Flame Swordsman eventually :)

@@duelsanctuary perfect! Grazie mille! :)

​@@mattykalwheeler182 Hi! I just added the Flame Swordsman Deck List in the video's description! I don’t have the exact list from this duel, so I included the one we used for our latest video, Max Metalmorph vs. Flame Swordsman. We'll probably do a dedicated Deck Profile video, including explanations and combos in January when the new Flame Swordsman cards are released!

Thank you very much! I really appreciate it. There’s a new Deck Profile video coming next week about another one of Yugi’s archetypes :) And the video after that will probably be another brand new archetype with a lot of anime references :)

I have played this decklist for a little while now and even if they can link away you have enough negates on the board to block.

@@Qwarkk1 you only have 1 omni negate and 1 spell/trap negate. that's not much.

@@EGS3586 + firewall defenser in the graveyard to protect against cards like raigeki + protectcode doing the same thing + if you're lucky a set imperm

Zombie World can definitely be tricky. If your opponent activates it from the hand, you can still chain your Celestial King Trap and tribute Gate Magician since, at that point, it’s still a Spellcaster. If they use Necroworld Banshee to activate Zombie World directly from the Deck, you can chain the Celestial King Trap in response to Banshee’s effect to summon Z-ARC. And the nice thing is, once Zombie World resolves, Z-ARC’s effect activates to destroy it :)

@@duelsanctuary oooh! So that's how that works, tysm!
