Armed Dragon Explained in 24 Minutes [Yu-Gi-Oh! Archetype Analysis]

[@kennydarmawan13]

2004: We restrict LV monsters because we worry that they might be too powerful. 2016: Hey look. We introduced the Digital Bugs. They're like LV monsters but better since you can bring them out from safety. 2021: LV10 at turn 1. You want it? It's yours my friend. As long as you have enough cards in your hand.

[@MedioTaffy]

All that and theyre still trash lol

[@kennydarmawan13]

@@MedioTaffy I dunno. Master Duel has Thunder LV10 have a summon animation. Implying Armed Dragon Thunder is actually a competitive deck. Even TheDuelLogs point out how much of an improvement the Armed Dragon Thunder is.

[@aliastheabnormal]

SQUADALAH!

[@Gknight11037]

​@@kennydarmawan13 Summon animations don't inherently mean competitive. For instance Disaster Leo and Starry Dragon aren't competitive, but they are the decks "boss monsters" so they get animations. Thunder LV 10 is absolutely an improvement over the original no doubt about it (over a decade of power creep will do that), but I don't think they've been competitive (could be wrong though. heaven knows it wouldn't be the first time). It could be a fun deck to tinker with though and maybe could see some rogue viability. I'd be interested in seeing what a dragon link variant with the Thunders as the big board cleaners could look like or if the Adventure engine could help any since Flash cab special your LV 3 and you only special summon from there.

[@kennydarmawan13]

@@Gknight11037 I see. But if that's the case with Leo and Starry, then Divine Neos would get animations too, and that card's rubbish. I think cards like Disaster Leo and Starry Dragon are more of great finishers like Armed Dragon Thunder LV10 with ways to easily summon them.

Everytime those dragons showed up in the GX anime I thought that they were dope. Then I discovered that they weren't really good back in the day. But they were still dope so I used them anyway.

[@Elfking94]

I gotta say I do like how old LV10 isn't completely irrelevant since you can simply special summon it without the discard cost and you put it in your hand via 5 or 7. Plus it's effect is different too and easier to activate immediately

[@doubl2480]

No mention of Artillery Catapult Turtle in the tech picks? It's a good starter, summons LV5 to start the chain.

[@Blazecap]

Yeah I’m surprised he didn’t mention that card. I’ve seen deck profiles for this deck that includes that card for this reason.

[@victorleppas3067]

Armed dragon lv10, the only interesting part for me in ghost from the past with the solavalons. Especialy because 3€ instead of 40 for 1 anime deck card was way better

[@dustinvance243]

23:38 but they do have negates. One of them is even in archetype and works with the spells and traps. You even called it by name. Armed dragon catapult cannon can banish every card on your opponent's field and in their gy and while it's on the field, it negates the effects of face up banished cards. So if your opponent is playing a small deck with lots of multiples this card can basically turn off at least half of your opponent's deck. And if you can summon this, you can just as easily summon A-TO-Z Dragon Buster Cannon with the same combo. A card with an omninegate that can negate spam as long as you have discard ammo. And it can tag out into the materials that made it.

[@wolfbrother9025]

But that's adding more cards needed u need the letter dragon things that adds more brickability to the deck pure armored with a couple easy special summon out archtype is best no more than 3 though even then I hit darkness metal more than I'd like when an armored lvl 3 would be better

[@dustinvance243]

@@wolfbrother9025 Ojamas beg to differ. They're such a good engine for both archetypes that you can easily play all 3 in one cohesive package. Ojama blue letting you spam ojamatch, ojamagic, and ojamassimilitation lets you summon these with ease. I run the A-to-Z monsters as one ofs so they don't take up to much space with armed dragons being the meat of the deck and ojamas as i said are the engine that glues them together. The deck works better in larger deck sizes since armed dragons burn through their resources so quickly that you need to run more cards to avoid running out of gas. So this is a deck that you actually want to run at 60.

[@wolfbrother9025]

@@dustinvance243 still sounds like u r going over 40 with that strat thus bringing down consistency

[@dustinvance243]

@@wolfbrother9025 it's less consistent with just 40 because armed dragons burn through their resources way to fast and it isn't able to do nearly as much as it would without Ojamas and A-to-Z. Like I said, this is a deck you want to run at 60 to get the most out of. Besides 60 card decks aren't bad. The advantage to running more cards is that you're able to do more plays. And even if you don't want to run A-to-Z, you should at least be running Ojamas since cards like Ojamatch, Ojamagic and Ojama Pajama are just that good.

[@dajohnniesanders6997]

I would love new lv support maybe a field spell by target a lv" monster you control tribute its, then special summon a lv monster that list that card name in it text from your hand, field or graveyard ignoring it's summoning conditions and its treated as being properly summoned. All lv monster that you controls gain 700 atk/def. Whenever you special summon a "lv" by the effects of level up card it treated as being properly summoned Support they need is a level spell that add a lv" monster from your deck or graveyard to your hands, a quick play level up card and a level counter trap.

[@sacredwolf2720]

Omg the end of this video is absolutely amazing 😂 Needed that laugh! Seriously, this video was really informative. Oh I love playing thunderstruck when I'm winning using the armed dragon thunder dragons. Love the archetype (or is it named?)

[@literallygrass1328]

Why didn't you mention speedroids in the tech picks? They special summon themselves if you control a wind, have good levels for synchro summoning with your armed dragons (lv3 can go with a 3 for charge warrior or jiujiu, or a 4 for clear wing fast, 5 can go with a 3 for kitedrake, or a 4 for shenshen, and 7 goes with a 3 for baronne). You don't have to go full speedroid, a small engine of 3 carturbo, 3 taketomborg, 1 terrortop, 0-1 den-den daiko duke and 1-3 fuki midoshi piper is fine. Piper's summon effect works greatly in the deck for excavating a whole bunch of cards, and it's gy effect can help you lower the levels of higher level armed dragon or the tuners for smaller synchros. If you want to go full speedroid, rubber band shooter only needs 2 winds as material, so armed dragons make it easier to go into that with flash. I would have put this over branded, because the only synergy they have is lubellion and albaz's discard, and they already have despia tragedy for discard fodder. The only issue is that carturbos summoning condition, and taketombotgs tribute effect, conflict with level 10 white as they windlock, but just summon them first. Overall I am shocked and appalled, and will be calling my lawyer yusei fudo on the crime of ignoring card game motorcycles.

[@uaeoaeoeoi]

Given that Spirit Ryu's effect isn't any form of once per turn and it triggers the thunder's on discard effects, you could theoretically activate spirit ryu repeatedly in a single battle and get an 8K boost for an unlikely one turn kill, would require the opponent severely brick to not have any option to stop you and have a 1000 or less attack monster in attack mode, but actually seeing this happen would be hilarious.

Not great. Your only discard for a dragon monsters effect is gae durg, and baby roc does that for free off the search effect. Dragunitys (at least pure) also use a lot of materials from the hand, so a bricky engine just really isn't worth it.
