Why Nobody Plays The Egyptian Gods

[@Dzeeff]

Why the remake? The original Why Nobody Plays The Egyptian Gods video propelled my channel at a crucial time and I wouldn't be here without it. ...but it's also a video posted by a very different Dzeeff haha It was made by a much smaller Dzeeff channel on a bad microphone in a dorm room and I had a different, more jaded outlook on card discussions. It doesn't even have background music! While I know a lot of people loved it, to me it's pretty difficult to sit through and I've wanted to fix it for years. MANY creators are embarrassed by their most viewed video and I understand that completely I know not everyone will see it is a "necessary" remake but I think the videos are quiet different in structure, delivery, and quality. Enjoy!

Fun fact: Obelisk was actually playable in Resonators back when they were Meta in Duel Links, since Resonators could summon 3 bodies without using a normal summon and non targetable meatshields were hard to deal with back then.

It was always a fun guessing game in the mirror match. “Are they playing the brick that can beat me or no?” My favorite deck was thunder dragons but they struggled against resonators if you draw poorly.

Divine Beasts should have inherit protection. Even their normal effects got nerfed to the ground, Slifer not even affecting defense position monsters for example.

[@Zetact_]

While I get that keywords are overall bad for card game design there is some aspects of hardwiring mechanics into certain types that Konami already does that could save card space at the very least. Like they could consolidate Tri-Brigade types (which have been common through the game's entire run to have cards that reference Beast, Beast-Warrior and Winged Beasts just they only got a concise nickname with Tri-Brigade) into calling them "Wild Beast Type" monsters and have a rule in the handbook saying, "Wild Beast type includes Beast, Beast-Warrior and Winged Beast Type". Or that silly thing with Illusion type where they ALL are seemingly going to be required to share an effect like they're Spirits or Geminis instead of an actual new type.

[@NinjaLobsterStudios]

Just invent a new Monster Card type called "God Card" or something that has rules that govern how it can be interacted with. Link monsters can't be changed to defense position, so just put the universal God Card mechanics like Spell Speed 4, untargetable, etc in the rulebook.

The DIVINE attribute should be treated like keyword abilities from Magic: the Gathering: "Monsters with the DIVINE attribute cannot be Targeted or Destroyed by Card effects. When a DIVINE monster is summoned, cards or effects cannot be activated. A DIVINE monsters summoning cannot be negated." That way, it would save on card text.

I think it might be interesting if there was a extra deck card that could use the egyptian gods as discard fodder to come out and then give some kind of path to bringing them out.

[@raydhen8840]

I think this is the best fix, easily accessible extra deck monster that can search the god cards and/or any card that mention them, plus an effect to summon them ignoring the condition; either from GY, or giving additional normal summon without tribute, again, ignoring the restriction. Because let's admit it, even with all that good stuff, god cards won't become meta anytime soon.

[@Sketch_XR]

Perhaps the compromise is to re-train the Egyptian Gods as Pendulum monsters? That way you can maintain their main deck presence like the originals, and give them easier access once summoned initially? Pendulum summoning would also be a nice way to off set Slifer and Obelisk sending themselves to the graveyard after each turn.

[@GiftOfKnowledge-np9vg]

Yeah but the problem with that is that if you're retraining the God cards; those retrains aren't God cards. They'd just be game original 3-tribute things that might resemble the God cards. And maybe this isn't true for everyone one; but to me, making the God cards' decks good at the cost of taking out the God cards is too big a compromise. Playing them is the only reason I care about these decks in the first place; not the other way around. And at worst you could end up with something like the Gate Guardian support; which replaced it's namesake with something useful just to expose that the gameplay associated with it is still bad anyway. And as a cherry on top, the deck doesn't even play the legendary Gate Guardian.

[@Diamondr11Blue]

[@BandannaBread]

Good video. I do want to mention though that Obelisk has gotten some pretty nice cards to support it. They aren't very good for Modern Play, but Fist of Fate, Ruin Breaking God, and Soul Energy Max are still very good cards. Their effects: Fist of Fate This card's activation and effect cannot be negated. If you control a monster whose original name is "Obelisk the Tormentor": Negate the effects of 1 Effect Monster your opponent controls, and if you do, destroy it, and if you do that, for the rest of this turn, the effects of that monster are negated, as well as the activated effects and effects on the field of monsters with the same original name, then, if you activated this card during your Main Phase, you can apply this effect. ● Destroy all Spells and Traps your opponent controls. You can only activate 1 "Fist of Fate" per turn. Ruin Breaking God The activation of this card, or its effects, cannot be negated, nor can its effects be negated. Special Summon 1 "Obelisk the Tormentor" from your hand or GY, and if you do, it is unaffected by your opponent's card effects this turn. If you Tribute 2 or more monsters you control at the same time to activate your card or effect, while you control "Obelisk the Tormentor": You can banish this card from your GY; banish all monsters in your opponent's GY, and if you do, inflict 500 damage to your opponent for each. You can only use each effect of "The Breaking Ruin God" once per turn. Soul Energy Max If you control "Obelisk the Tormentor" whose original Attribute is DIVINE in your Monster Zone: Tribute 2 other face-up monsters; destroy as many monsters your opponent controls as possible, and if you do, inflict 4000 damage to your opponent. During the Main or Battle Phase: You can banish this card from your GY; add 1 "Obelisk the Tormentor" from your Deck or GY to your hand, then immediately after this effect resolves, you can Normal Summon 1 "Obelisk the Tormentor". You can only use each effect of "Soul Energy MAX!!!" once per turn.

The god cards need support that lets you get them out with one card while acuring advantage. Something like their own version of Boss Stage which searches a god card on activation and fills your board with tokens every turn to tribute for them but locks you into only being able to summon divine beast monsters is the kind of power level that you'd need to consider playing them. And even then I think you'd need a lot more support.

[@t3arki113r]

What the deck really needs are: •Normal Summons that summon fodder that also give an extra normal summon. •Something that searches any of them out, not just their own named mini archtype support. •Something that searches out their cards that list their names. I was thinking since we got Ra’s disciple; why not make a slifer and Obelisk disciple that are always treated as ra’s disciple so they can all summon each other. They could each be one of the above categories. Then if any of them are sent to gy; shuffle back all 3 disciples and add 1 to hand. Then each turn, the gods have a set up.

[@aprinnyonbreak1290]

Ways to tribute enemy monsters is probably peak. People already run Sphere Mode to do this, just giving them a way to tribute using 1 or even 2 enemy monsters in addition to some of yours. Since we're flinging out disciples, maybe that's the ability of Disciple of Obelisk. Something like "If this is the only monster you control, and your opponent controls two or more monsters, you may tribute summon a Divine monster using this monster and two monsters an opponent controls" Maybe "The summoned monster cannot attack the turn you use this effect." if it needs a leash. Make some other card, a continuous spell or something with an effect reading "If you Normal Summon a Disciple (or something to single them out), you may make an additional normal summon of a Divine monster" so an Obelisk Disciple isn't just a super Gamaciel. And I dunno, maybe Slifer's Disciple effect is just draw 2 when tributed to summon a Divine monster. Make summoning Slifer off of only them a +2, which he kinda really really needs, and is a nice thing for the others.

[@LightBringer666]

i definitely agree that these cards should get extra deck retrains. i can see obelisk also getting some representation for his Obelisk The Progenitor form from the spinoff manga where he's equipped with divine evolution. since there's already some decent support for summoning these monsters, it'd be nice if they got a few cards that allowed you to transform their summoned forms into the extra deck retrains by paying some form of cost if they are special summoned, but no cost if normal summoned.

These types of videos never get old. Keep it up Dzeef! You're doing great. Showing trishula as an example of monster that requires 3+ monsters, made me think of Barrone. It should really require 3+ monsters too. Without that restriction I'd argue it's ban worthy for being a way accessible and powerful extra deck staple. You automatically play it because nothing is comparable or better for just 2 monsters.

[@ArbitraryOutcome]

I wouldn't mind Baronne errata'd to need 3+ materials. Would be controversial for sure but certainly way more sensical than the Goyo Guardian errata (since that card was already power crept by the time of its errata so all it did was give less options for decks without EARTH tuner access).

[@painvillegaming4119]

The only time I have ever beaten Baron while it was on the field is when I ironically already had the obelisk out and there was nothing it could do

[@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire]

If I were to retrain each god card, I would try something along the lines of… _Obelisk The Destroyer_ (DIVINE) Level 12 Divine-Beast/Effect _This card’s original name becomes “Obelisk The Tormenter” while on the field, in the GY or if banished. Cannot be normal set. (Quick Effect) Must be normal or Special summoned (from your hand or GY) by tributing 3 monsters from your hand or field. This card’s summon cannot be negated. If summoned, Cards and Effects cannot be activated. Neither player can target this card with card effects. (Quick Effect) You can Tribute 2 monsters from your hand or field; destroy all monsters OR Spells/Traps your opponent controls, then increase this card’s ATK/DEF by the total ATK/DEF of the tributes. This card cannot declare an attack the turn this effect is activated. If this card leaves the field: Add 1 DIVINE monster to your hand from your deck._ ATK/5000 DEF/5000

[@norrisjohnson6032]

That name is closer to the japanese original one that says obelisk the Giant soldier. I'll work with your card.

[@babrad]

We already have "Obelisk The Progenitor". There is also "Divine Evolution". Personally, i would retrain it into a Fusion Monster just like the Gate Guardian Support + Charles link 1. Obelisk The Progenitor Level 10, 4000/4000, DIVINE, Divine-Beast Must be Special Summoned (from your Extra Deck) during a Duel you Summoned "Obelisk the Tormentor", by banishing 1 card whose original name is "Obelisk the Tormentor" from your field and/or GY. This card's Special Summon cannot be negated. If Special Summoned this way, cards and effects cannot be activated, also this card's name becomes that banished monster's name, and replace this effect with that banished monster's original effects. This card's activation and effects cannot be negated. (1) Unaffected by card effects, except your cards that mention Divine-Beasts. (2) (Quick Effect): You can send 1 Spell/Trap card that mentions this card's name from your hand or Deck to the GY; add 1 card with the same name as the sent card to your hand, OR this effect becomes that card's effect when that card is activated. (3) If this card leaves the field: Special Summon 3 "Tormented Soul Tokens" (Fiend/DARK/Level 4/ATK 1100/DEF 600), and if you do add 1 Divine-Beast Monster from your Deck, GY or that is banished to your hand, then immediately after this effect resolves Normal Summon 1 Divine-Beast monster. Then we can use this as a template for the other Gods having the same condition, protection (1), and floating (3), with a signature bonus effect (2). Slifer the Sky Emperor Level 10, ?/?, DIVINE, Divine-Beast Must be Special Summoned (from your Extra Deck) during a Duel you Summoned "Slifer the Sky Dragon", by banishing 1 card whose original name is "Slifer the Sky Dragon" from your field and/or GY. This card's Special Summon cannot be negated. If Special Summoned this way, cards and effects cannot be activated, also this card's name becomes that banished monster's name, and replace this effect with that banished monster's original effects. This card's activation and effects cannot be negated. (1) Unaffected by card effects, except your cards that mention Divine-Beasts. (2) Change all monsters on the field to Attack Position, also negate the effects of monsters that were destroyed by battle or the card effect of Divine-Beast monsters you control. (3) If this card leaves the field: Special Summon 3 "Sky Spirit Tokens" (Winged-Beast/WIND/Level 4/ATK 1100/DEF 600), and if you do add 1 Divine-Beast Monster from your Deck, GY or that is banished to your hand, then immediately after this effect resolves Normal Summon 1 Divine-Beast monster.

[@babrad]

I believe the text can become shorter, but if you notice it's carefully worded so that you need to summon the originals, but even if you cheat these cards out they won't gain the bonus effect. They float to the original gods so that you include them in the deck, but instead of their own copy you can shift between an aggressive Obelisk and a control-ish Slifer. Ra is a case on his own because he already has the Sphere-Ra-Phoenix loop.

I did separate decks for each. Slifer and Ra were easy since they have archetypes tailored made for them. Ra support for Ra and Poker Knight for Slifer. Obelisk was the hardest. I ended up going with ABC. With Union hanger I could get the ABC fusion out and during my opponent’s end phase I could tribute it to special the separate ABCs for his summon. I used Union driver and platinum gadget to get them in the field and in the graveyard. Having foolish burial goods to dump Soul Energy Max into the graveyard, made his summoning way easier since I could do it during my opponent’s turn after tributing the fusion.

Imagine having a normal summon for the egyptian god that dumps divine beast and add a card that mention "divine-beast" or a divine-beast monster's name.

Lets call it "divine disciple" or something. It could also have less than 1000 atk to link it into almiraj for a spicy protection and have a banish effect from gy to either add a divine beast from deck to hand or dump a divine card from deck to gy (the opposite of normal summon).

No, you can't fix the issues by adding other cards to your deck assuming you'll just magically have both in your hand at the same time every game. 5.

If we're talking about these God expies as Link monsters, would Link 5s make more sense? Link Ratings seem to value at a 2:1 ratio to levels, i.e. a Link-3 is about equivalent to a level 5 or 6 & a Link-4 is like a level 7 or 8. So if you wanted to make something like the Gods in the link mechanic, that'd probably be something like a Link-5 with "3+ monsters" as material. That's what I'd expect anyway.

What I’d love to see: Extra Deck forms of the monsters. Obelisk the Tormentor: Link Monster requiring exactly 3 Monsters and is a Link 5-6. It is immune to targeted effects and effect destruction. Treated as “Obelisk the Tormentor” while on the field or in the grave. It can tribute any 2 monsters it points to to destroy the opponent’s monster zones or board, but can’t attack; instead it deals damage equal to the attack or any opponent’s monsters tributed this way. If special summoned except from the Extra Deck, it returns to the grave during the end step. Slifer the Sky Dragon: Synchro Monster requiring exactly 3 Tuners and no non-Tuners. Treated as “Slifer the Sky Dragon” while on the field or in the grave. Unaffected by non-targeting effects. Keeps all other Slifer abilities. Winged Dragon of Ra: Pendulum Monster with the 3-tribute clause, and can be tribute summoned from the Pendulum Zone. Treated as “Winged Dragon of Ra” while on the field or in the grave. Has different form effects in the Pendulum Zone and the Monster Zone, and Pendulum Scales of . If destroyed, can be moved into an empty Pendulum Zone (optional). If special summoned in any way, it returns to the Extra Deck during the End Phase. You can only control one card named “Winged Dragon of Ra” at a time.

[@phantomnite]

Ra shouldn't be a pendulum monster. Pendulums exist in the main deck primarily and hence, ruins the reason why we're changing ra to an extra deck card.

[@_lime.]

You could run Slifer in a Domain Monarchs deck with fiends. It would be a hard board to get out, but if you got Domain and March of the Monarchs out it would give Slifer the protection that is needed. Then if you got Majesty and Mystery Fiends out you would lock the board. No special summons, no monster effects, none of your monsters can be targeted by card effects. If you opponent trys to out the fiends by normal summoning something with over 2400 atk, Slifer's effect come in and drops it by 2000. I'm not certain if there's many cards that can be normal summoned with 4400 or more atk.

[@CYBRLFT]

I really enjoy having Slifer in my red eyes fusion deck but he’s mostly icing on the cake. My deck plays so fast that usually the duel is over. I sped up Slifer access by including Mound of the Bound Creator and using MST to pop it and get a divine search but unfortunately he doesn’t have dedicated search like Ra. Slifer and Obelisk definitely got the short end of the stick there. Mecha Phantom Dracossack is also great for popping Mound to search a Divine beast from deck.

[@AlissonLima-d4m]

I think it is because for the competitive level we have today, they are not competitive enough

[@Xehnas]

I think what they really need is just a set up monster that passes their "heirarchy" from the show/manga to them again. AKA immune to effects of all non-divine cards and for modern times make it so they cannot be tributed either. And make it also lock you into only playing divine beasts this turn "You cannot special summon this card if you have special summoned this turn" and make it a 5 star with a summoning condition. and just for kicks give it god specific effects when tributed. Ra, set base atk/def to 4000, slifer, draw till you have 4, and give something else to obelisk (cant think of anything, but this sets all gods to 4k when summoned).

[@megustAslagt]

Make a link 3 monster with the effect: "3 monsters. This card's link summon canmot be negated. When this card is link summoned, your opponent cannot activate cards or effects. When this card is link summoned: tribute it; special summon 1 level 10 divine-beast monster, ignoring its summoning conditions. This special summon is treated as a normal summon. You can only use this card's effect once per turn." So not a retrain of an egyption god, but still giving them a way to sorta still be summoned from the extra deck. I think this may boost the deck by quite a bit.

[@americangizmopied]

I used to play obelisk in my frog-narchs in like 2014 and it was actually super good. Since it's pretty easy to get 3 frogs to tribute and his summon can't be negated it was a really solid boss monster when paired with LADD and narchs

[@shadow_man_exe4727]

I found some success with both obelisk and slifer in monarchs when they got their starter deck support. but this was at the local level.

[@babrad]

To be honest, this remake felt nostalgic to the point i paused it, watched the old one, then watched this one. I get you don't "like" the quality of the old one as a content creator, but still it's a nice piece of YGO history. About the Gods. I consider the Gate Guardian support incredible for what it did to an outdated anime deck. And this could work with Egyptian Gods as well. The new Infernoble Link 1 is one of my favorite card designs ever because it isn't a cheap "fix every problem" link 1 like Striker Dragon/Bale/Infant (don't get me wrong, they were needed) but instead, it builds a true "boss" monsters through layers. Ideally, the god cards should be retrained as Extra Deck Monsters (Fusions, but each one getting a different version would be funny) that inherit the name/effect and build upon them, like Charles. We already have "Obelisk the Progenitor" in manga, and "Divive Evolution" in TCG/OCG. A simple change to the "evolved Slifer" like forcing every monster to Attack Position would boost the original's destruction effect (2nd mouth attack). They can even throw "The Wicked" series there since they are the DARK DIVINE counterparts.

[@amanofnoreputation2164]

The reason is fairly simple: it takes a lot of effort to put them on the field, and then they just kind kind of die because Obelisk is the only one with any protection from card effects. Even if they do manage to stick around -- they're mostly just really huge beatsticks, so again you can just use card effects to not have to deal with them. They're a relic from the days where effects were relegated to spells and traps while mosnters where strictly conceived of as combatants rather than "traps" and utilities in their own right. Under that paradigm, there's nothing more a monster is really supposed to do for you than be a huge beatstick. But this changed pretty rapidly as Yu Gi Oh evolved from the _concept_ of a cardgame played by manga characters into an actual cardgame played by real people. The concept of an Egyptin god is that they're these super-powerful monsters that could obliterate any ordinary opponent an instant for any duelist capable of actually summoning them, but the reality is that a true "god card" in Yu Gi Oh isn't something with a huge attack profile but something that, -- Is consistent -- Fast -- High value/hand advantage That is to say, you don't need a particularly lucky hand to summon it with lots of conditions and playing it is mroe disruptive to your opponent than it is costly to you. Cards aren't really designed to work no their own anymore, so there isn't really such a thing as a "god card," but to the extent that such things do exist, they're generally better at getting in early and locking down your opponent with effects to keep them from popping off their combo rather than being this lumbering final boss leviathan that takes ten turns to bring out, but once it's finally there it OTKs you by itself.

Create a continious/field spell that does something explosive when a tribute 3 effect occurs that allows you draw 2 cards to offset the cost of tributing to allow you to keep engine. It would also give monsters summoned this way to become unaffected by card effects. But long story short, outside of the bricking problem, reward the actual tribute effect. Or create monsters that do additional things when they are tribute material to god cards

[@orca8433]

I love how special all these cards are, even today. But what if we got some more god cards today? Where they could use more Egyptian gods but maybe treat them as lesser monsters that serve the archetype. Like Anubis, Iris, Bastet, etc. I would love even if Horus could get in on it, but due to the name being used already, maybe not. They could all be divine-beast types with divine attributes. With this, maybe we can get some retrains of the gods to make them what they were truly meant to be. Even if they need some support to get all their effects. Maybe the new god cards could even be new card types like link monsters would be great for them, so you always have access to them, but perhaps their summoning requirements need to be made hard to make you earn that reward. Synchro and XYZ may be too restrictive.
