I can see Joey and Nightshroud having a Yugi vs Arkana style duel where Joey looks like he's on the ropes and Nightshroud declares himself as the True Master of Red-Eyes and Joey interrupts him by stating he hasn't "seen nuthin' yet" and whips out every new Red-Eyes in his deck.

[@Deathmare235]

I see a Joey vs Kaiba duel where Joey meets nightshroud refuses to use it but still keeps it and he loses to Kaiba then he decides to put the mask on and have a rematch maybe trapping him in a shadow game he wins with the red eyes darkness cards

[@phantomknight0015]

Except that would never happen. Darkness deck has no red eyes cards (he only had them when he took possession of Atticus) and Atticus got rid of his red eyes darkness cards. Joey would never use red eyes darkness cards as they’re antagonist cards.

[@aozorahaou2643]

The only way Joey would even use Darkness Dragon is IF Nightshroud appeared in DM though it be cool to see Blue-Eyes Shining vs Red-Eyes Darkness

[@trinitybraley8907]

I'm honestly loving this

[@aliastheabnormal]

Maybe Nightshroud copied his deck. I mean it isn't his true deck and Atticus uses different cards. So maybe he netdecked Joey's deck and called it a day.

[@adamzajdel478]

It's a well thought out deck, but Lord of the Red would have been his ritual monster if he only could have one. Not only is it a double negate and destroy, but a reminder of his most badass moment against Valon when he BECAME the monster! Just seems to fit him so much more.

I like the deck. since GX is supposedly set 10 years after DM, Joey has more than enough time to reworked his deck, gain more rare, super rare, ultra rare cards, and retool his play style. The gamble deck in battle city was to compensate for Joey’s lack of funds to buy rare, super rare, and ultra rare cards , as well as an FU to his abusive, alcoholic, and gambling addict father

[@minivenom0109]

[@thepyrostickfigure7637]

@@jedaye47 that's just for the game in the lore of the show he has always had red eyes and in his final duel we are directly showing him using it as a child.

[@virtualcolt]

Fun fact. I think Retro Dragon is based on when Joey used Bandit Keith's Time Machine trap to resurrect Red-Eyes Metal Dragon. Sience Retro Dragon does pretty much the same but for multiple Red-Eyes monsters and as a hand trap. And thats not all. In Retro Dragon's card you can see the time machine behind him.

[@gir1456]

In the manga it's stated Joey took cards from the deck bandit Keith left behind after their duel and he used time machine. (Actually i'm sure he only took time machine and metalmorph.) In the later spin off Yu-Gi-Oh R he used it against bandit Keith. Which caused a little banter between them where Keith called Joey a thief for taking his time machine and Joey defending himself by saying it was fair for him to take it since the cards were abandoned and no one stopped him.

[@aozorahaou2643]

@@gir1456 Well damn Joey should've build his Battle City deck with not only the BC cards, but also Keith's if that's the case he probably would still lose to Marik, but still

Man I really love these and your rewritten gx series, please keep doing what your doing and I've been using these decks and trying to build decks like them (tho I'm pretty bad at it) and they are so much fun, ty for all the hard work

[@CreweontheSofa]

The only card that seems an odd choice to me is Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon (And I guess Darkness Metal by extension). I understand why you'd add that from a game perspective, but from an in-universe perspective, doesn't quite make sense to me, given the cards connection to Atticus Rhodes. Still another enjoyable Deck Profile :)

[@Deathmare235]

Maybe Joey could’ve had other copies he could’ve been a previous host of Nightshroud

[@mageside]

@@Deathmare235 that's only applicable if Joey is ever seen playing these monsters in the same vein that Yusaku was seen playing PHOTON Thrasher

[@steveshin820]

Darkness Metal makes sense, remember his duel with Bandit Keith?

[@aozorahaou2643]

Pegasus would easily make copies of those two don't forget that

[@NexeL_NKC]

Just imagine Joey having a full power modern red eyes deck today. That’d be pretty insane. But more than that, there needs to be two and three headed red eyes fusion monsters like Blue Eyes Twin Burst and Ultimate Dragons. Maybe even variants depending on if he uses Alternative Black Dragon as materials, much like blue eyes. And their effects would be all about burn damage, just like a lot of other red eyes monsters.

[@sjjdkxjcbejsj]

When is the next gx rewrite this series is amazing?

[@Arthas30000]

I'd totally watch that! Gotta hope Joey adds Comrade swordsman of Landstar to his deck, and gets some weird Synchro potential. That would be sick!

[@Driger1792]

Would be awesome to see these characters in Vrains Era and their decks

[@36moshpit7]

I'd add in Supermagic Sword of Raptinus, and maybe Supervise, Mordschlag, Hidden Armory or Armory Call, and Release Restraint Wave, along with Raptinus itself. If I think of something else, I'll edit it in. A Warrior/Red-Eyes deck with Slash Dragon as my ace was my first Duel Links Deck, and I always thought it was a shame Joey never got to play it, so this deck profile fills that hole. And Double-Edged Sword's pretty cool, I've been meaning to work an OTK combo with Volcanic Counter into my Volcanics. Good to see you, dude.

[@conradvallon5661]

Wait a minute where's Swordsman of landstar? That's one of Joey's best cards how could you miss it?!

[@CD-Gaming]

Better yet, it might be a Tuner Monster, but thinking about makes me realise that would bump his target pool even more (to even include Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon who needs ANY non-Tuner Normal Monster), but what about Comrade Swordsman of Landstar and his Ability to boost all your Warriors' ATK by 400?

Great video and I really like the choices you made for it. I just wish Giltia the D. Knight Soul Spear made it into this deck as not only it is easy to bring out if joey has an empty field but can also summon a level 7 dark dragon monster or a level 6 dark machine monster (Red-eyes and Jinzo respectively)

[@WildCardVA]

Really solid and well thought out list, but it definitely needs the currently OCG only card Giltia the Dark Knight - Soul Spear. It can search Red Eyes and Jinzo, which is perfect for Joey's updated deck, and has an interesting banish effect. It would also fit the criteria for the Gilti-Gearfried fusion since you can use Gearfried the Red-Eyes Iron Knight alongside Giltia Soul Spear, and canonically fit the summoning conditions originally used for Gilti-Gearfried in YGO R. :D Edit: Just realized two new Red Eyes cards were announced after this video was made that would also fit the deck, particularly Red Eyes Soul since it references Mind-Controlled Joey's duel against Yugi.

[@aozorahaou2643]

Honestly would be cool to see Joey duel and appear in GX or atleast a monster based off him like Kaibaman is to Kaiba. Imagine Jaden, Hassleberry, Bastion, and Syrus running into Joey during the field trip to Domino City imagine the duel hell imagine the duel he and Jaden would have or imagine Chazz dueling Joey since Chazz is pretty much a mixture between Joey and Kaiba character wise.

[@mikebottomlesspitdunham2954]

Lord of the Red and its Ritual Spell in the place of Darkness and Darkness Metal considering they were only used when Atticus was using the power of Night Shroud.

[@DarthMohawk1]

100% this. Also, Darkness Metal had a different (worse) effect in the anime that basically made it vanilla Darkness but with higher numbers.

[@phantomknight0015]

@DarthMohawk it’s not that bad. It has this effect “ You can negate the effect of Spell Cards that target this card. You can discard 1 card to negate the activation and effect of any Spell Card your opponent controls and destroy it.” It’s worse because anime darkness metal dragon requires too much set up. But the effect is not bad. Spell card negate is decent in the modern era.

A really nice deck format for our favorite underdog of the series. But I only got one question. Where's Lord of the Red? That Ritual monster is a great addition to the Red Eyes deck, serving as both a double negate and a good attack monster on the field. Still a very nice deck profile. I would like to see what Tea would have in store for the new eras, like Syncro or Xyz. Have a good day/night, and stay safe out there

[@mattykalwheeler182]

Well well, Immortal Phoenix Gearfried it's exactly the perfect freaking card that my fella Joey could use in his freaking amazing deck! 😎🤙🏻 At this list i would add also Divine Knight Ishzark (one of my fav warrior monster from the manga), Dragonic Knight (Chazz manga monster), Golem Dragon and Kidmodo Dragon. Return Of The Dragon Lords, Dragon Shrine, Supermagic Swords Of Raptinus and Lightning Storm for spell cards, Sixth Sense, Necro Fusion for trap cards. 😁👌🏻

[@chricre]

i am surprised you didn't add monster reborn. It was a staple in his time and the GX era i believe. Also, it has synergy with his other cards, being able to bring back his red eyes monsters. One monster reborn raises his win rate by more than 200%.

[@alexiecierra]

My favorite Joey's trap card is Graverobber. Saved him a few times from Duelist Kingdom to Battle City.

[@STM017]

Very good deck, almost an exact copy of my own Red-Eyes deck in Legacy of the Duelist Link Evolution. The only difference is I added Xyz monsters like Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon and Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon. Also if you get two copies of Xiangke Magician, or one it doesn't matter, then you can add Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon to a Red-Eyes deck. It's actually quite easy to summon with Flare Metal Dragon's effect to revive a normal monster from the graveyard.

with Konami printing all this cool new support for cards from the original series. It be cool to see the company that did dark side of dimensions go back and redo some of the early Yugioh seasons as movies. Imagine dawn of the duel uncensored and in movie quality. That or put them in charge of a sort of Yugioh shippuuden esc series that takes place during GX but focuses on the original cast. That way you can introduce all these new support cards to the anime and keep the modern Yugioh format intact.

One, darkness metal specials summons cards from the hand as well, inferno and cards of red stone I understand are red eyes support but it will more than likely still brick his hands and even if he wanted to they can’t be searched due to not being “Red-Eyes” cards, I do like the deck profile though because it is interesting. Edit: You will have to use poly or red eyes fusion when you have the lighting on the field due to it being a gemini monster and does not count as a normal monster so it’s going to be hard to pull off for archfiend black skull dragon

What exactly is the working definition of GX-era here, because several of those cards weren't around during GX, hence Keeper of Dragon Magic referring to an Extra Deck and including a restriction that doesn't make sense in an era where the Fusion deck only held Fusion monsters.

[@AdamSelvig]

Inferno fire blast technically the original attack depends on which card is used for instance inferno fire blast works for any creature that has the name red eyes black dragon and red eyes fusion changes any red eyes fusion name to red eyes black dragon

[@XshadOtakuX]

Funny story: my cousin and I, who were *HUGE* YGO nerds back in the day (not that that's changed; I *am* here, after all), had a kind of fanfic-y idea in-between seasons of GX where we thought Joey should be hired at Duel Academy to replace Professor Banner as head of the Slifer Red dorm. While the majority of these cards didn't exist back then, this vid kind of makes that old dream seem just a bit closer to reality. Thanks for the nostalgia, my dude! ... Also, if this gives you any ideas for Season 2 of the GX rewrite, you don't have to credit me, or nothin'... *Just sayin'...*

[@Ruby_Mullz]

Can you do an arc v version of Alisa? I really think she’s undersupported in the anime and she would’ve had a more significant role if blackwings weren’t so popular in the TCG. I think she should’ve came back in arc v instead of Crow, and it would be cool to see a potential deck for her!

It might be a hot take but I think you should’ve included some sort of metal morph It was important enough for Joey to run a red eyes metal dragon which is out dated now.

In a scripted duel with Joey and Ishizu, Red-Eyes Alternative Black Dragon was given to Joey, by Kaiba, who said he didn't want it. So it definitely belongs in a modern Joey Deck. Red-Eyes has the cooler artwork, for an alternative, by a long shot. This Duel took place at a national tournament, I think. Maybe a qualifier.
