[@fadeemblem7665]

Salvage is a very interesting card for this deck because it allows you to add 2 water monsters with 1500 or less attack back to your hand. All the level 7 monsters are weenies with only 700 attack, and they're all Water attribute, so they can all be brought back with salvage and be used as fodder for all of the other monster effects. I also find it interesting that they specify "Tribute" one level 7 or higher monster from your hand rather than saying "Send" or "Discard". There's probably some kind of card interaction reasoning for this, and I'd be curious to know what it is.

[@Crimson_Monarch]

I just the subtle things you can find from card design, not the art but what the card does. Most likely the Drytron monsters and the Bearcti monsters are in the same "universe" , maybe enemies, maybe allies. Both archetypes have an effect to send 1 of themselves to the GY to SS themselves and they both have a new way of using a Summoning mechanic ( Drytrons using Atk for Ritual Summon and Bearcti using the difference in levels for synchro summoning ) Also the reason that the trap specifically sais 7 is most likely because the Big Dipper has 7 stars ( Big Dipper is in the Ursa Major, Ursa means bear ) Thank you for coming to my Ted talk

[@quintonclothier6171]

Okay, so Konami has been messing with their own mechanics as of late, so I am theorizing that they will do the same with the Pendulum archetype in that deck building pack, by breaking up their scales. I mean one might be left hand scale 3, and right hand scale 9, or something to that effect.

[@elemomnialpha]

I think not, both these and Draitron are related to constellations (Draco and Ursa) so they'll probably keep that theme going because lore

Bearcti, no way I'm calling it that... Beartic is my new head canon (Gotta love Yugioh and Pokemon references )

[@xenax6242]

Maybe they will change it when it comes to the TCG to Beartic

[@lykillcorreli6740]

So, a few things that come to mind. First off, (1): you don't actually NEED to use high level tuner+slightly lower level nontuner or anything to summon these. You can just skip Polari, and use a level 1 tuner and level 8 Synchro, for example. (2): One slight issue is that these Synchros need 3 monsters at minimum to summon them (two materials minimum to meet the Synchro 'half' of the requirement, and an additional tuner, all three of which have to be useful levels). This... isn't usually a big deal with stuff like Crystal Wing, because there's either a nice neat mini engine that results in it (Windwitches) or you can cheese it out (Tzolkin, Dragon Link), but those options don't really work for the Bearcti synchros. Still, shouldn't be too hard to get Septen Trion out in other decks, though you'll miss out on the search effect. (3): The revival spell can also trigger the on-summon effects on the opponent's turn, BUT all the effects are hard once per turns so you can't trigger multiple Micpola searches or Megatanus flips in a single turn. (4): Bearcti really don't have any sort of protection aside from Septen's floodgate effect? And being unable to revive Septen means there's very little reason to play it in-archetype compared to splashing it into other decks. (5): No real method of profiting off of the tributes, and Hieratics are level-incompatible with these. A darn shame.

There are a lot of parallels between this archetype and Drytrons: 1. Drytrons also took an established summon type (Ritual) and made their own spin on it (based on ATK instead of Level), Bearcti/Ursarctic took Synchro and look at difference in levels instead of adding them 2. Drytrons were named around stars in the constellation of Draco, while Bearcti/Ursarctic are named after stars in the Big Dipper and Little Dipper 3. both archetypes' art styles are space mechas with their respective celestial constellations in the background 4. both archetypes' mecha designs are based on their constellations, Drytrons are dragons and Bearcti/Ursarctic are bears (the Big Dipper and Little Dipper are also known as Ursa Major and Ursa Minor) Hopefully if Drytrons were received well and Bearcti/Ursarctic are received well, maybe Konami will make more archetypes for other constellations for the other summoning methods (Fusion, XYZ, Pendulum, Links)

[@guardian_of_the_rune]

Oh you have 2 level 9s on the field let me quickly activate all my monster effects.

[@OddhornLonghorn]

I noticed how similar they were to Drytrons immediately, but the more I look at them, the more potential I see. I can see so many combos already. So, let’s say you have a hand full of monsters. Summon during your opponent’s main phase two, and you can rank up or link summon when it comes back to your turn. Synchro in the graveyard? Add it to hand to get it back in the extra deck so you can special summon it again! The deck may be a bit difficult to work with, and while I am a casual player, I do like very much what I see.

It wouldn't surprise me if Draitron and Bearcti are somehow lore-adjacent. - Both based off constellations - Both look like giant mechs - Both field spells are giant space carriers - Both provide new ways to execute their respective styles of summoning. Makes you wonder what other constellations might be made into archetypes...

They look like gundams tho...literally looks like a bearguy

[@MrZerodaim]

I think you're underrating that field spell quite a bit. Don't see it like a combo extender, but rather like a piece of interaction. Sure, seven counters seems like a huge ask, but remember that it gets a counter each time a monster is special summoned... which includes your opponent's summons. So you grab it with your level 1 synchro, special summon one of the level 8 main deck monsters and special summon the negate on a stick synchro. Just with that, you're at 2 counters already. On your opponent's turn, they do something like normal summon, special summon from hand, link into Halqifibrax, special summon from deck, link into Auroradon, make tokens and whatever (I don't know the current starters, that's just a basic example). Well, their combo isn't finished yet and that's already 5 different special summons right there, bringing you to that prized 7 counters. Meaning that you can quickly disrupt plays by stealing their key combo pieces as they get special summoned. And that's just by going into the negate synchro and nothing else, if you can get one or two extra summons that disruption can be live very early. (now I don't know the rules so well, if the trigger conditions on (2) and (3) don't override spell speed 1 - meaning they only activate on your turn, then ignore what I said)

Just found out the TCG name on YGOrg, it turns out they're gonna be called "Ursarctic"

[@dalesabandal9113]

yugioh summon mechanics in the future: “can not be synchro summoned, must be synchro summoned by doing the quadratic equation and finding the common function of both cards”

[@tachyontenthousand9215]

Bruh this is just Dark Synchros lmao. I dig it

[@Yami_Duelist]

I don't understand the similarity between them

[@Hyperencrpted12345]

Both involve subtraction

Deep Sea Diva searching Neptabyss can actually let you summon Polari on its own and then you have Neptabyss's effect to potentially get Sea Searpents from Dragoons's effect. Dragoons can also trigger off of Grand Chariot. Although, no Lv. 7 or higher Sea Serpent has an effect when it gets Tributed, so you wouldn't get that much advantage off of using them to summon your high level Bearcti monsters.

I wanted a generic beast synchro monster for melffys and we get this :( Still it’s cute AF and it’s an interesting mechanic

Terrible Archetype. A "Mask of Restrict" or "There Can Be Only One" easily shut down this Deck .

[@majordukem]

@@abuhassan8849 Mask of Restrict is a bad card and there's not a reason to play it, only if you consider "it kills drytrons" a good argument, because while it could work against Drytrons and this archetype, it (mask of restrict) sucks against pretty much anything else. Also there's the fact that "this deck dies to TCBOO" could be said for many decks, and there's also the fact that no meta deck (except rogue) is using there can only be one. This archetype really is not the greatest, but you just gave the wrong reasons of why it is not good

[@carlschmitthenner7369]

If the synchro monsters are summoned using their proper, written summoning method, even if not the card-types specific procedure, then it may be revived from the gy just like cards that contact fuse instead of using the regular summoning method.

[@TheItalianoAssassino]

Bruh every artwork nowadays is either a waifu, a weird-looking dragon or a gundam

[@Asmodean1111]

The Field spell, if effect 2 is correct, means it gets counters with either players Special summoning. SO either it's going to have a bull's eye on it, or you'll have to bait out negation. But it's main use will be for effect 1

[@A_Jeffsux]

I pronounce it “Bear-Ci-tee” almost like “bear city”

Is it better than owl city

2 things here. This is the second animal Mecha archetype, based on a constelation, that breaks summoning rules, the other being Dritron. Meaning that we can expect to vreak pendulums, XYZs and Fusions. Also, this is straight up Dark Synchros

[@yusheitslv100]

The way it's spelled in Japanese is "bearukuti", so it's pronounced "beark-tee" Also, the "new way to Synchro summon" existed with Ultimaya Tzolkin.

[@IamMolifu]

Cimo, about Dipper: ANY time a special summon occurs you put a counter on. Opponents count, too.

[@MirageUchiha]

Me: Debris Dragon and Dandylion on the field. Opps: Oh you gonna Black rose, ok. Me: NOPE! 😏

[@PhilipMonsos]

Looks cool! Seems like everyone is going into an ice/winter theme with Bearcti along with the new Ice barriers deck, and even Magic releasing Kaldheim.

Atem : the GY

[@exeledusprince9165]

So, can the synchro monsters never be summoned from anywhere except the extra deck? Their summons dont count as synchro summons, and therefore they arent ever properly summoned, correct?

[@TR-qf2gt]

we'll have to wait for the rulings on this since this feels like a "idk Konami said so" kinda thing HAHAHA

[@Joe-qs8in]

Don't forget, Cimo: Big Dipper takes the opponent's monster, does not negate its effects, it can still attack and is a permanent steal--that can be pretty powerful. Combined with Tri-Brigades (because all Bearcti are Beast/Beast-Warrior), there's a lot of potential here. I gotta say, I'm kinda stoked for DBAG (though I can't imagine Konami sticking with that set abbreviation in the TCG).

[@rez3r092]

I don’t see how they will work with tri-brigade

[@hunterboss8497]

the second effect on the trap would be interesting to see on a generic spell that you can target your opponent or yourself until the targeted player reached what ever number was printed

[@kendrickgraham431]

This is interesting all my years i play yugioh i never heard of these decks. When i watch your videos it helps me a lot in the new era. Thanks cimoooooooo for teaching your suscribers about the new era of yugioh cards.

[@sebay4654]

I think the preventing form special summoning from the graveyard is because they can be easily cheated there by one of the level 8 monarchs (which would also force the opponent to banish an equal amount of cards (I use to use this combo in my monarch zarc turbo deck when I didn't have the fusion card to monster reborn or other similar card supreme king starving venom dragon and then I could use it's effect to target odd eyes revolution dragon from the graveyard which would then add 4000 attack points on top of its base attack basically compleatly wiping your opponents life points in one or two attacks (the deck also ran herald of arc light x3 to get a blue eyes chaos max engine to hand along with zarc for even more damage)

[@alexanderbatterbee8369]

Imagine summoning monsters on your opponents end phase and laughing at their nibiru in hand

[@Buzterer]

Sadly you live or die by your ability to summon the little carebear, so maybe if you run a small amont of generic lv1 and 2 monsters then you might not need to open that many bearcti monsters

[@Hoserutscht2031]

Righty + Lefty Driver

[@surgeonofdeath7576]

Big Dipper only says each time a monster is special summoned. Not each time you special summon or each time a Beartic monster is special summoned. So your opponents special summons will count too. With most decks being combo decks. It would be easy to activate this effect. I think it’s a solid card. @Cimooooooo

[@jonassilva2099]

Bearcti is probably a pun with "Bear" and "Arctic". And the space background is actually an sky view at North Pole (or South Pole, I dunno). This arquetype's synchros are very cool (good and generic although lil' harder to summon), but it lacks some key things, as card advantage, recursion, some kind of control. Unfortunately, these Synchro monsters din't have other "accel-synchro" method to summon them other than using their archetype's trap.

[@glint3924]

Their unique approach for Synchro Summoning kinda reminds me on how Draitron strayed how you Ritual Summon.

[@TheGundamDude8045]

"Differ by" means subracted lvls. 8-7 = *1* Just a helpul tip here if those were curious.

[@AzeriusDenetrate]

Me a synchro summon main: Look at me. This archetype is part of my deck now

[@blanktrigger8863]

This method for synchro summoning seems to be an irl version of negative synchro summoning from the dark signers. 8-7=1, but instead of introducing negative synchro summoning, they did it this way for some reason.

[@taylorwinslette8061]

I’m a huge mecha fan, I’m a huge synchro fan, I feel like Konami is speaking to me directly with this archetype

[@GracefulMage3089]

For the level 1 synchro, good engine would be the "Drivers" considering Right gets you Left to the field. Making it a 1 card synchro.
