Archfiends TEARING UP decks for 30 minutes straight

[@TheArchfiendGuy]

Let's play a game, eat a Yugioh card every time I say "ladies and gentlemen" 😁

[@JohnDoe-km9vx]

Zalamander Catalyzer would you ever consider this as a potential discard for the lvl 8 in hands to re-activate the spirits? It may miss timing on the refresher from time to time but still could be good to test with?

[@TheArchfiendGuy]

Yep, 100% you should be running Zalamander. The card is just amazing for fiends. I don't think it ever misses timing

[@jackalsmalls4995]

OH MAN, Lets GO! ARCHFIENDS!!!

[@TheArchfiendGuy]

[@sirsetokaiba9982]

It's nice that you are using gilfer in your decks lately, i love that card.

[@IIOver9000]

Summoned Skull on the thumbnail looks sick, also first game was nutty 🔥

[@TheArchfiendGuy]

Yeah I love that alternate artwork!

[@artistwithafro909]

it's always satisfying to see any "non-meta" deck destroy what is currently in the meta! the new mic sounds amazing!

[@TheArchfiendGuy]

Yeah it's always fun when I get to take a few wins vs meta And thank you!

[@PridedWaif]

Look at the Sound quality, sound quality! I felt that for real! I can’t wait to see you back in master duel with the new update. Archfiends are being feared now🗿

[@TheArchfiendGuy]

Yeah, I'll have to get on that!

[@kingxjaan]

I love your content men i freaking love it, im a streamer from argentina and i keep using and talking about your decks there really cool!

[@TheArchfiendGuy]

Hey Marcos! Sorry for the late reply, I've just been busy. Thank you so much for the kind words, that really means a lot. That's fantastic that you talk about my decks over there! I appreciate it :)

Getting a new mic is always a nice feeling, congrats on the s o u n d q u a l i t y. The hair is also looking fantastic as usual Adam! I said steve before the edit because I'm an idiot and got the joke wrong

[@JohnDoe-km9vx]

Ah nice :D this is great. Gives great insight into how to play this beast of a deck :D. Thank you

[@TheArchfiendGuy]

You're welcome! Still a ways to go to improve this particular build, but I'm having fun with it

[@JohnDoe-km9vx]

@@TheArchfiendGuy Which video would you say is this build or is it an updated decklist? (Off to CM :D for the shopping list soon so that's why i'm asking)

[@TheArchfiendGuy]

Closest is probably the latest video I made. But just be advised in the Gilfer loop in the sense that it may not be a legal loop (PSCT and possible Edopro bug) so I'd swap those out Some sort of Labrynth package is great too I'd recommend playtesting a bit online first before committing to the deck!

[@JohnDoe-km9vx]

@@TheArchfiendGuy Yes I saw the notice :D and once I have a decklist I first play it as it is and then add my own twist to it. I played something similar in Unchained Danger. But never thought I could apply the same to Archfiends :D so when I saw this i was Like Hell yes... I want to make this.

[@JohnDoe-km9vx]

And yes while I do like Master Duel for decks I enjoy playing I like to have a physical copy ... I don't know sometimes testing hands it just feels better.

[@maxg3140]

As a Dogmatika player I love the package sending Arc Light from Extra Deck as tribute for White Relic to search a Ritual, I used to run this myself but I ended up running out of space in my extra deck for it

[@TheArchfiendGuy]

Yeah I like how much ease of access Arc Light brings. Just lets me run a small package rather than many cards just for one ritual

[@747jackt]

Thanks for the gameplay

[@TheArchfiendGuy]

You're welcome

[@DittoStyx]

Hey I’ve been watching a lot of videos on the channel lately and wanted to thank you for the inspiration you’ve provided on such an old deck people don’t tend to experiment with. I’ve been tinkering around and wondered what you would think on Metalfoe Archfiends? I’ve made a build revolving primarily around your Pandemonium with Archfiend Of Gilfer loops and found a lot of coherent synergies with the two archetypes with a few examples being of course Archfiends loving to be destroyed by card effects and Metalfoes don’t make them miss timing, Archfiend Of Gilfer being a constantly recurring non once per turn face-up card to pop for your Metalfoes so you aren’t losing card advantage, Pandemonium giving you plenty of non once per turn searches every time you use your Metalfoes to pop Archfiends for BIG pendulum summons, Archfiend Eccentric being able to pop your face down spell/traps or simply your own Metalfoe Combinations to search for more Metalfoes to continue looping Archfiend of Gilfer and search the proper scales you need for pendulum summons while also being a pendulum monster herself which allows her to be used to fuse into Metalfoe Mithrilium AND having a decent scale of 7, Labrynth Archfiend being a level 7 perfectly fits into the Metalfoe pendulum summon range of 2-7 and since Metalfoes set you their spells/traps from deck you can set up things like Metalfoe Counter for her to be live more often with less traps in deck as well as giving that normal trap in grave 400 atk boost which could matter from time to time, Linkmail Archfiend being able to effectively be summoned and use its effect to lower your opponents monsters attack since Metalfoes are a fusion based strategy (really like this since of course pendulum decks kinda need link monsters and Linkmail is a very unique Archfiend boss monster that you do not see in most Archfiend builds since it is hard to summon effectively) , One of my favorites but I tend not to run is Archfiend Soldier and even Archfiend Marmot are usable in the deck since they are searchable vanillas to use for fusion summoning Metalfoe Alkahest to disrupt your opponent, and some simple things like Metalfoes tending to fit some of the level ranges of some of the useful Archfiends like Hieress,Eccentric,Cavalry,General,and Labrynth for some really nice rank 3,4,7 XYZ plays (Big Eye being one of my favorite since it feels almost like using Falling Down). Overall I love the feel of the deck since in my opinion it does keep some of the Archfiend identity of floating and grinding through games with things like your Mithriliums, Metalfoe Counters, Pandemoniums, and of course the pendulum mechanic as a whole while also giving it such explosive plays that Archfiends don’t tend to have with the huge pendulum summons since most of the time Archfiends tend to stay in hand since they have so many normal summons. My only issue with the deck so far is that because of the Metalfoe scales and the ratios I’ve found that this may be a build in which it’s not worth running or at least not necessary to run the standard Archfiend staples such as Archfiend Empress, Archfiend Emperor, or the Dark spirits since they are level 8’s (or rely on level 8’s) that may clog hands and cards like Call Of The Archfiend being a bit less useful overall since it’s mainly used for Empress and Emperor plays. Once again I wanted to thank you for the Archfiend inspiration since I’ve been having so much fun playing this deck and I just wanted to share some ideas that came as a result of your content.

[@holstonmatt]

decklist ?

[@TheArchfiendGuy]

Thanks for your message! That all sounds very interesting. I agree that Metalfoes synergise very well thanks to all their destruction support. I've messed around a bit with Metalfoes but could never really get them to work or find ratios I liked. It felt like almost the entire deck was full of metalfoes cards, and only a small handful of Archfiends on the side. With the right build though, I reckon they could be cool! Linkmail is very underrated! Just a bit hard to summon, but it's a good defensive card

[@Trickster7916]

Sounding great!!!

[@TheArchfiendGuy]

Thanks! I no longer sound muffled

Archfiend ASMR, the screams of pandemonium will put you to sleep. Also been testing out Clear New World, and it's going good, but ratios are a problem

[@TheArchfiendGuy]

That's great! Ratios tend to always be the problem I suppose. And if I did Archfiend ASMR I reckon I'd be the ONLY youtuber doing that. You know when a niche is maybe too niche? 😅

[@thecopperowl8386]

@@TheArchfiendGuy it's just you reading the text of the cards. Also can you do a rulings video on Archfiends? Like explain how Emperor works so we know how to summon things or how to chain block with Masterking etc

[@GMZoidburg]

The first 2 Archfiend duels against Heroes/Utopia, did u previously post deck lists of these variants? They look different from when I saw the Archfiend of Gilfer loop vids, and actually interesting when u went into Chaos Archfiend ect

[@TheArchfiendGuy]

It's a list I've built recently but haven't posted just yet! Chaos Archfiend is pretty cool

I would like to see a deck list and gameplay of this deck for Master Duel even though we don have Chaos Archfiend yet

[@diegoramz906]

Is there the decklist of this in some video? Help, its for my homework XD

[@khornebread4802]

Love these replays of your Archfiend decks! I wouldn't banish General if you have Imprisoned Queen: It can turn Archfiend General into a 3.1k beater during the Standby Phase. Besides Curse Necrofear, do we have any way of recouping our banished Archfiends/monsters in general?

[@DarkSymphony777]

necroface is all i can think of

[@TheArchfiendGuy]

Trance Archfiend can technically. There's a new tuner called Mind Tuner which can recycle as well, which I suppose we can use Emergency Teleport on for a recycle + synchro play

[@duelistsyncjd]

How do you feel about fusion deployment and dark fusion? Summon skull turn 1 or dark fusion with nib into Gaia or the skull fusion

[@TheArchfiendGuy]

Deployment summoning Summoned Skull is pretty cool to be honest. I prefer Dark Calling to Dark Fusion because Malicious Bane is just a super strong card.
