Can The FIRST Boss Monster Still Win In Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

The first boss monster in yugioh was probably Summoned Skull. He’s received very odd support over the years, but today we’ll see if he can keep up against the modern yugioh meta in this Stone Tablet series.

Summoned Skull should have more support specifically for him rather than "Archfiends"

[@NexxOmega]

I think it was done that way, because his name in japanese is "something archfiend"

[@Thestar17x]

His name is Demon Summon in Japanese

[@KRISTIANSMILJANIC]

⁠@@Thestar17xYeah but arent all the archfiends also demons in Japanese?

[@ZodiacDemon]

@@NexxOmega You'd be correct it roughly translates to "Archfiend's Summon".

[@CodySvsTheNet]

Lumping summoned skull in w archfiend's was his downfall. But then again they shouldn't have made archfiend's so lame.

[@scott--1629]

summoned skull must hate the fact that yugi constantly chose dark magician over him even tho he has the same attack points and requires 1 less tribute.

[@BeaglzRok1]

They just weren't that close back in Egyptian times I guess. He even used to be an ace monster back when Yami was basically pure evil, beating Kaiba in game 1 and nearly pulling out the win against VHS Pegasus.

[@danielschott4639]

Think Yugi, Think!

[@minicle426]

And that Dark Magician got its own waifu varient. :P

[@Astonoke]

@@minicle426 heiress tho :p

[@JumpedOnTheBandwagon]

I think he was Yugis boss monster when he made his deck without the Pharaoh. After that Atem was like: no. Only Egyptian Homies. And beaver warrior. And mushroom man

[@pocket_dwarf]

Deion is the best masterduel youtuber when it comes to making fun and playable decks. I don't think this man has ever missed, his decks always look fun to me.

[@thealolanmarshadow4898]

For the final episode, after the Kaiba one, Reax should combined all Ten Decks to make one Stone Tablet Deck(Do it Deion, I double dog dare you!)

[@kennethmeier7576]

I agree with this statement! And knowing @SeeReax and his top tier deck building abilities he could definitely do it and make it multiple ways. A fun way, an optimal way, and probably a troll type way as well lol

[@Kailer504]

​@@kennethmeier7576sounds like the SeeReax I know

[@ZENKI07]

summoned skull is actually my boss monster for such a long time especially in the early yugioh. 1 tribute for a 2500 beatstick was so good

[@kennethmeier7576]

And summoned skull was so underrated by everyone it was crazy. Only the good yugioh players knew the actual power of summoned skull

[@fuzzanswers]

Man, Kashtira really is the "No Fun Allowed" deck, huh. Good job actually getting all those Summoned Skull variations out, even with all the Fun-Police in the game at this time.

[@wutizgoin9873]

Honestly design wise i always thought summoned skull and buster blader were the coolest i never liked dark magician and blue eyes

[@DarkSymphony777]

What about jinzo?

[@AzureNova23]

Honestly same. Blue eyes always looked kinda goofy to me because of it's lanky arms and massive head. Dark Magician just wasn't really cool to me in general.

[@christiancinnabars1402]

Buster Blader and Red-Eyes Metal Dragon - _specifically_ its model from Falsebound Kingdom - were my favorite designs back then. Dark Magician and Blue-Eyes were aight, but I feel like the former would have looked better with a more iconic weapon and the latter would do better with a less... I guess rounded(?) head (the head shape looks cool on a Xenomorph because they lack eyes. With eyes, that type of head just looks weird imo).

[@soul8648]

I agree. Though I did/do like Blu Eyes

[@Axilstealspie]

reported

[@laytex134]

About time one is pulled that actually has all the proper colors instead of a ditto variant

[@lordflarus]

Well those are rares so

[@KazamaRaikan]

Some looks dope ngl like Exodia and Blue eyes

[@Demonboy52]

That was the most appropriate ending to a video I've ever seen. The struggle just for the ritual monster was real

[@ledgicyt2929]

I'm gonna be sad when this series comes to an end, 😭, I hope they made more of these so it can continue.

[@greeneyeballs]

there are probably other little knock off box creatures, right?

[@GuerreroDelArcoIris]

Don't say that!

[@ledgicyt2929]

[@ledgicyt2929]

@@GuerreroDelArcoIris Don't worry, I knocked on wood beforehand so we good!

[@poluni8144]

I’m think just pulling random monsters or Yu-Gi-Oh characters to build a deck around using an online randomized would be a good substitute.

[@uglyboi5254]

For future reference to search the ritual spell more consistently, sending herald of the arc light to the GY let’s you add any ritual spell from deck to hand

[@EpsilonUnitGaming]

Wouldn’t advanced ritual art work here or am I missing something?

[@Turtlegme]

He didn’t think about it or he forgot about it. It happens a lot of people

[@NN-ge2wf]

​@@EpsilonUnitGamingIt would, in the deck with multiple OG summoned skulls at least. But he'd run into the same problem where he would still need luck to have them both in hand. His whole problem this video was that he just could never draw into them both, not a lack of material once he did.

[@nick-knackgaming365]

The summoned skull ritual you couldve gotten out a lot easier if you just used advanced ritual art, you can dump the og SS since its a normal monster from the deck, then you get to summon the ritual SS, not entirely sure you could search advanced off of pre-prep or not

[@Creat0rXYZ]

That's exactly what I was thinking!

[@RazorBlade747]

Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands could search it, and its a light level 4 for chaos angel

[@NN-ge2wf]

Not really. His whole problem was that he never drew into the two of them together, he was never lacking the material to Summon it once he did. If he had replaced all the Contract with the Abyss cards with ARA and had the same draws, he still would've repeatedly been without both cards in hand just as often.

[@verarobinson7591]

Seereax I felt your pain when you finally opened up with Ritual and Spell and that guy played Anti Spell Fragrance, Damn, bro i don't see how you didn't just say Screw it right then and there, Honestly this has been one of the best Yu-Gi-Oh series I've seen. Your Deck building skills are top notch keep it up. PS. Go Cook Sam in the next Wheel of Yu-Gi-Oh 😁

[@aelelrjamot]

“This deck doesn’t usually brick like this” literally me anytime I wanna duel my friend but against randoms it’s just a crazy starting hand

[@khaleddjermane8544]

Can we just admire seereaxs deck building ability...i mean he can make any archtype look good for some reason 🤣

[@ZinoAmare]

He has hours and hours and hours to do this usually people work and sure KZbin is a job but it ain’t the same

[@zenethehero5527]

I'm surprised he didn't consider impcantations for the ritual summon skull

[@Hmmm-uk946]

That and he spends hours recording wins so when he gets 3 wins in a row it probably came with like 50 losses. With KZbinrs and their videos only the good stuff gets recorded and published. So you never get to see the bad hands or plays.

[@TheChar45]

I've never seen a video more perfectly capture the current state of master duel and show the pain that comes with it. Props to you, and great vid! RIP Editor

[@doctorchaos4436]

I felt that bit about Kashtira. From both sides. It feels downright unfair getting cooked by it, and it somehow feels even worse cooking someone with it.

[@BAMFuPanda]

Honestly, I just use Kashtira as an anti-Tearlaments/Labrynthe, fighting fire with fire if you will

[@dragondrakage2402]

I run Kash with dark magician, mire often then not I usually wind up summoning ebon magician since it's a lot easier to banish your opponents field. And after facing so many runicks, labrynth, twarlaments, etc... it feels nice to stick it to the other metas a lil bit

Nah bro I feel bad for you cause what happened in those last few duels 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@lucashoward1730]

I've been wanting a Summoned Skull video for so long 🎉🔥🔥🔥

[@aizenvermillion434]

I think the Ritual and Fusion is the best of them all mainly because the combos I need to make Xyz and Synchro is just too much of a tall order for my tiny brain to handle.

[@DragonmanX90]

I kind of want you to keep chibi-Skull on your hat as a mascot.

[@loafingaboot9841]

Great video! Diviner of the Heralds into Herald of Arclight can search out any Ritual Monster/Spell Card. I thought for sure you'd use Advanced Ritual Art for your ritual card as you send a Normal Monster (vanilla SS) from the deck to summon any Ritual Card.

[@Punisher1996]

I always thought in the OG Yu-Gi-Yo Summoned skull had the coolest artwork! Great job of using this absolute classic card in your deck.

[@Mr.Business34]

Gotta respect Seereax's pure Bower to be dedicated to get That ritual card out, and ofc the editor to sit through it all.

[@Izzygadi]

Honestly big props for repping ALL the summon skull variants. I was looking forward to this monster the most out of the Tablet series cause Summoned Skull decks are notoriously bad and he always comes up with interesting and different ways of playing

[@LonesomeDrifter-rf2tc]

We need a summoned skull support Konami : yeah sure here's a dark magician support

[@ragnarok9594]

Sam - Using the same deck he does for any monster combo. Seereax - Using a unique dect with interesting tech choices to make it personal and interesting Lol

[@animeshowfan8145]

Agian love the creativity in these deck buildings. Even in thr dark world deck it still felt fairly focused on summoned skull and had stuff that felt on brand with the card. You gotta do this kind of challange with some of your friends with the same deck building rules

[@Citizen_Nappa23]

What amazes me is how many of the people that comment dont pay attention to the title and series, and continue giving advice on cards that have no relevence to the deck challenge series. Was never really a Summon Skull enthusiast but was interesting to see you make it work. Been watching your whole series was fun to watch.

Oh I felt the pain trying to get that ritual monster out. Outside that, the deck honestly was cookin'

[@nytecrow6452]

For Future Reference for any future Rituals. Herald of the Arc Light paired with Diviner of the Herald(For tribute fodder for the Ritual) or Dogmatika Punishment for removal. Also, Advanced Ritual Art is an alternative method to Ritual Summon using Normal Monsters from the Deck. And High Ritual Art uses Normal Monsters in hand to Ritual Summon from the Deck.

There is an alternate timeline where Summoned Skull became Yugi's ace monster and gets all the love and support and Dark Magician is this weird vanilla monster whose gimmick is that there's different variations of him for each summon type.

There's also an artifact card that you can tribute from your hand to prevent banishing for the turn, and a Gravekeeper's Inscription that allows you to activate 1 of 3 effects, preventing banishing is one of them; and also the trap imperial iron wall, but those affect you also.

[@adriancardona2172]

Ok, as someone who tried at Rituals+ looked up a lot of shit, while they are of course best with dedicated support+ engine (Impcantation my beloved), anything that sends to grave from Extra Deck can combo with Herald of the Arc Light to add **ANY** Ritual piece, Monster or Spell. Impcantations are bit demanding depending on your spread, but can pay off if Ritual is your goal, or even Tribute Summoning since they special 2 bodies with no real board value on their own. If you DO run Impcantation, Zaborg the Mega Monarch can be Tribute summoned over Candoll and whatever else is summoned (Talismandra if it's just necessities) to absolutely ERADICATE both Extra decks, and with Candoll, you get to choose which 7 go to grave, while you send Herald, and (if you're running this package) N'tss+Skull Knight for tons of pops and advantage to play with. If you don't Tribute Zaborg for the effect, that's 7 levels for Rituals on the board, or just a Mega Monarch-sized beatstick Edit: Advanced/High Ritual Art is also a good idea to run for Summoned Skull specifically, though with deck limits I can understand choosing not to
