Yes but about eclipse... you still need 4 CARDS just to summon one Ritual monster. 1st A Draitron monster on the Field 2nd Eclipse 3rd Meteornis Draitron and finally 4th The Ritual Monster you want to summon. So thats not a lot of value if I'm perfectly honest

[@PathBeyondTheDark]

That's still bad. The eclipse just takes the place of the second monster, you are literally still using 2 resources (Eclipse plus the monster) in addition to the Ritual Spell. It doesn't help mitigate the cost problem at all. And as for the 3rd effect of the field spell, that is a nice addition. But considering Link monsters are the premiere extra deck archetype atm, it won't do much more then stop one potential play whereas the meta deck you are playing against probably has multiple.

High chances of it being meta

[@duelrising8721]

I do ygopro replays for a youtube channel and have found some neat interactions with this deck. I found they trigger benten. Knowing this i chose to run multiple copies of benten plus prep to constantly trigger benten for advantage. U can search krystia,barrier statue and honest w these cards. Now ik light barrier statue isnt the best one but if u happen to face the light matchups u got backup. U can make summon the ritual monster which quickplay sends cards on your opponents field, and if u dont have this access w your current hand you can make dragun when dragun gets released! Funnily enough keeping the barrier statue safe is easy w all the options. U can make avramax,protect it w the honest, make linkuriboh w the draitrons to protect it and the ritual can protect it with its interuption eff. Also u can make avramax on opponents turn with i:p and verte just make ip before summoning dragun. Also u can mix this deck w nekroz as benten searches nekroz cards aswell.

The ritual is searchable with card of the soul and can be used to hard make AA-zeus

[@Always.Smarter]

So, when the Ritual Spell says it can be used to summon any Ritual Monster, it's no joke. There are no Ritual Monsters with more than 4000 ATK, so if you Tribute 2 Draitrons (or just 1 of the ritual), that fulfills the conditions to summon literally any Ritual Monster in the game (regardless of Levels). Combine that with the fact that Alpha searches any Ritual Monster in the game, and it is searchable with both Cyber Emergency and Draitron Nova, and you have an engine that can consistently turbo out any Ritual Monster in existence. The problem is that there are actually very few decent Ritual Monsters in the game, and the Draitron Ritual Monster doesn't fix that issue. Some options are Amorphactor Pain, the Imagination Dracoverlord, Nekroz of Trishula/Unicore, and Cyber Angel Vrash, maybe even Odd-Eyes Gravity Dragon in a control matchup... but that's it, and none of those by themselves are really enough going first OR second in today's metagame.

[@3EyeStudios]

I've been messing around w Draitron using the new Demise/Ruin monsters, Amorphactor Pain, and Lord of the Red and it's decent. I tried with Nekroz first and it got a little clunky and i haven't tried with Megalith yet (though I don't think it'll work very well), but the ability to search Sauravis is really cool, and you can even ritual it from the GY to stop a special summon if you really really need to Addendum: I've found that Amorphactor turbo seems to work best with Draitron going first, since it completely skips the opponent's MP1 on summon, forcing them to go straight to BP or EP. I'm not sure if skipping their MP1 with a completely empty field makes them not have a MP2 entirely? (EDOPro seems to act that way anyway), but as for going second, I think either Lord of the Red and/or Blue-Eyes/Magician of Chaos MAX seem to be better? Still not entirely sure though Being able to tribute Amorphactor and summon him back turn after turn somewhat reliably seems like a decent lock anyhow, if a bit fragile depending on what you have

[@598019001]

I did some testing with Herald of Ultimatness, relying on 3 manju and 3 benten. it was a little bricky, but I think thats from my lack of deckbuilding ability. Manju is useful because its another way past hand traps, since nothing uses the normal summon and benten replaces itself after its used by the 1 stars tributing effect, which is pretty good. Herald of Ultimatness is a single Draitron tribute, For an omni negate which seems decent enough. A lot of the time, since the rtual can summon rituals from the grave, the 12 star draitron monster is used in hand as a way to summon any other ritual monsters. Nekroz of trishula is pretty easy to summon and is great, and odd eyes gravity is good for blasting back row away. The sheer amount of searchers in the deck means it can do a pretty good imitation of the extra deck toolbox. I underestimated gamma at first, but its pretty important for getting past the 1 monster on field as you tribute your draitrons for their effects without dumping hand resources.

[@nemanjacvijancevic8349]

I've tested quite a bit aswell and from my results I can safely say that I like pureish Draitron with a nice compact Invoked engine the most. You either end with I:P + Mechaba + DRA + Linkuriboh or with Apollousa and a Mechaba. Going first the deck is actually really decent but going second is a struggle to say the least

[@crymetyme320]

@@598019001 I did a herald build with benten, and I can tell you it's not bricky at all. Benten is free material for the draitrons and should be abused. It also searches the light barrier statue (use your normal summon for it) and you can get out linkuriboh to protect it. Draitrons also have a ton of search cards, so it's easy to get what you want. Don't rely too heavily on the ritual summons in this deck. Treat it more like a link summon archetype, and you can make some good boards. I also use the fluffal engine with bear, wings and toy vender. You can discard any of the draitrons with toy vender because they can special summon from the grave, and you have the potential to drop another draitron in the grave because of it. You can also use any of the fluffal monsters as cost for herald.

[@jofx4051]

It would be better with Terminal World since you can also force them to skip MP2 and makes them EP and since you will likely can summon it again later turn, you would lock their turns so they cannot play Yugioh They would be forced to go BP or else they should end turn (they will go BP since they still have MP2 anyway) Except they bring spell removal, they most likely cannot play

While I can't claim to know how exactly to build Draitrons, I'd still recommend that you at least run a Benten or two even when playing a relatively pure build. She's free tribute fodder for the Draitrons' self-summon effects, and can even search out a Manju (or eventually in the TCG, a Diviner of the Heralds) to extend further. Considering that Draitrons don't put quite as many free materials on board as Impcantations, the card advantage boost is too good to pass up IMO.

[@elimcrae385]

Esbern Hawkins yea that’s exactly what my pure list looks like and it runs amazing

[@esbernhawkins5912]

@@elimcrae385 Oh shit, I misread your original comment, sorry about that. I thought you were saying you _weren't_ going to use Unicore, Benten, and the like. Yugioh reading comprehension strikes again. Good to hear your build is going well, though. I was wondering, is the deck any good at playing against handtraps/negate boards in your testing? I was pretty big on Impcantation Goodstuff about a year ago, but sort of drifted away from it after realizing that only a negate or two could turn a great hand into a dead hand. I was wondering if Draitrons would hold up any better.

[@elimcrae385]

Esbern Hawkins it’s fine bro. i can’t read either lol

[@elimcrae385]

yea it’s working pretty well and you can end on the draitron ritual with a unicore most of the time

[@shinigamikiragami6886]

Bro this deck is mainly a generic ritual summon support, u can merged this with necroz, u can merged this, with other utility ritual monsters like armageddon king or dakini for monster removal, if u want a better boss monster u can merge it with chaos max and the little version for an otk, this archetype opens soooo much ritual opportunities that it's insane, most like u only need to offer up 2 draitrona to bust out a ritual, if u want to do some invoke go ahead, u underestimated eldlich and adamancepators during your initial reaction to them when they were 1st announced, and here we are with them topping the meta, there sheer potential this deck has combined with the fact that necroz is back in full power with 3 unicore and 3 trishula, rituals can be a force to be reckoned with, and at the very least, that field spell and counter trap will be played in nearly every ritual deck just because it's a free searchable solumn that thins out the deck and doesn't cost life.

[@dominiquem7799]

Cool idea but sucks that it loses some of the best support for rituals (impcantations and pre-prep) right off the bat

[@jacobanderson6114]

Competitive or not I will be maining this archetype. Something tells me it’s gonna get some ridiculous support in the future

[@WillRennar]

So basically the optimal play is to turbo Alpha and Zeta to your hand. -Sac Alpha to summon Zeta, add DRA to hand. -Sac DRA to revive Zeta, add Meteo to hand. -Activate Meteo, sac Alpha and Zeta to revive Ritual Monster (should be a legal move as it's a proper Ritual Summon). Total level of sacced monsters was 2, so omni-strike ability is active. -Banish Alpha and/or Zeta as needed to deal with any problem cards. -Proceed with plays from there. EDIT: I just realized you can literally swap DRA with *_any_* Ritual Monster. Crab Turtle Turbo lives again!

[@Adam0193Official]

Just stumbled on this video...since all of the Draitron can't be normal summoned/set, can Chaos Space technically be used as a searcher for this archetype?

[@cthefro]

Nope they are all light and the levels don't work

[@DualSwordBesken]

Someone correct me if I am wrong since I haven't played a game of Yu-Gi-Oh in a long time, but couldn't you use Draitron Eclipse to basically make the ritual a 1 tribute? And if so, since one of the cards being used is just being banished from the grave, wouldn't that help with the inherent card disadvantage of ritual monsters?

[@dangerzon3857]

You would, except considering that by the time you would use the GY effect of eclipse you would have already 2 material ritual summoned turn 1

[@dungeonmaster3464]

Personally, I don't really think it matters how well this archetype does competitively, because this has massive implications for future card design. The fact that this is a ritual archetype that doesn't use levels means that level requirements aren't a law for future ritual monsters anymore. Future ritual spells could have different requirements. Also, the boss monster may not be game winning on its own, but the spell and trap support has a lot of potential disruption. The quickplay and trap are basic, but they can be used on your opponent's turn to disrupt their plays. Even the field spell can mess up an xyz or synchro play with the third effect.

[@atk9989]

Also you can turn the boss into a 6k attack everything

[@federicodc]

What else is gonna be in this set? Fusion Summoning with Levels? Pendulum monsters half monster half trap? Companion in yugioh? Dual sided cards? (I've been hoping for the last one since I started playing vanguard and seen Gyze...)

[@thanosv1168]

I actually really like the 2000 atk gain card. Use it on your big ritual guy to bring him to 6000 and then atk all of your opponents monsters with it. Not bad. Potential game ender right there.

[@kailee2166]

The manjuss will be used for sure for the normal summons.

[@kristopher4746]

You can't normal the turn you activate their effects. So unless you want to cut your turn by a lot, they aren't worth running

[@Daniel-xx1dy]

Draitron works well with Cyber Emergency, as well as Where Arf Thou. Overall I really like the idea and artwork behind these cards, even if it won't be competitve enough

[@josephtate5315]

That last Normal Spell, boosts any of your monsters to 4000 attack thus meeting the summoning requirement of your ritual monster by itself

[@nemanjacvijancevic8349]

yeah but if you use Eclipse then you need 4 CARDS just to summon a single Ritual monster. 1st A Draitron monster on the Field 2nd Eclipse 3rd Meteornis Draitron and finally 4th The Ritual Monster you want to summon.

[@lost.in.melancholy2509]

Did anyone else notice the massive red screen that appears for a split second at the start of the video????

[@filthyneutral5801]

Can you still ritual summon after you use a drytron effect

[@FinDoesStuff-lj8of]

Anyone notice the 1 frame of red at the start 0:00

[@hip2besquare632]

The ritual spell is a problem since you can bring out herald of ultimatness a card that is a omni negate thats is not once per turn (you also need to send a fairy monster from your hand to the graveyard)

[@Rick_Rolland]

Yes, but you have to tribute machines for the ritual, so you have to play some weird fairy hybrid, if you want that to work, so I wouldn't say it is a problem.

[@wwmandalore]

With Eclipse, couldn't you ritual summon one of the Drytron monsters with just one monster on the field?

[@d.e.g.e.3061]

That's the intended purpose I guess

[@FracturedDMR]

This is interesting. I could see them -possibly- being a replacement to impcantations given their semi-generic ritual support. Depends how well they end though since I seriously doubt that monster line-up is it. I doubt it'll be meta but there is rogue potential especially with standalone rituals like Lord of the red.

[@hafidzaulia9675]

I'm looking at you, Hungry Burger!

[@ashtonmiller9756]

I haven't played competitively in a bit so feel free to shoot this down, but could you work this archetype with lightsworn?

Can't wait for Cydra Draiton to become the new meta...

[@steved7777]

I think as a engine these might be pretty crazy, just not as a pure deck. Kinda sad it's not really great for generic Ritual monsters since they are all Level 1.

[@blitzdungeoneer2786]

There's some pretty crazy combos you can do with these currently but if Linkross or Halq get banned in the TCG they'll be dead on arrival and Linkross is already banned in the OCG if I remember right. They're super cool either way though, so definitely excited for them.

[@vanitaspero1043]

*There are

Draitron don't fucking need Linkroos and Halq, that's stupid.

Quick question would a level 1 go down to level 0?

[@de1tabad929]

Feel like this will go good with nekroz. Idk why I just think it will be consistent with the search cards and the impcantation

[@ASavageEye]

These look like a fun alternative to my usual Demise Ritual deck. Never liked Nekroz, too overpowered and take all the fun out of it for me. I like to feel that I might lose if Im not careful.

[@shadowspector3611]

I have a question about a ruling. If you activate the spell that increases a monster's attack by 2000 until the end of your opponent's turn and use it on a 4000 atk monster, and then you use that monster's effect to lower itself by 2000 atk, then would it stay at 4000 at the end of your opponent's turn or would it go down to 2000 permanently?

[@palatasikuntheyoutubecomme2046]

It would go down to 2000 ATK permanently
