The Fur Hires have such 'protagonist deck' energy

[@nachoalfonso2614]

I want them so badly to be used in an anime... It would be cool if it's the archetype used by the main rival, instead of badass dragons. It would keep things fresh.

[@ToxicBlur1337]

Furry deck go!!

[@LassBisharp]

@@nachoalfonso2614 I want to see this deck used in the anime too. It's kind of funny, because I'm seen as the, "rival," of my Yugioh group too. Ahaha.

[@YuseiTheSynchroHero]

I'll never get over "Training Fur Hire, Fur All Your Training Needs"...

[@Ramsey276one]

On its own, it almost work... *NOT ENOUGH!*

[@crimsonbutterfly2282]

I really, really, REALLY want to go on adventures with the Fur Hire monsters, it looks like it would be so much fun!

[@yofyo]

it has a very zidane from ffix feel, open skies and adventures!

[@TerraEmperor1]

My first introduction to Fur hires was in duel links. They're nowhere near full power in that game, but can still pop off even against some tire 1 decks

[@jamesbrincefield9879]

Back when Duel Links first launched they were surprisingly bordering on Tier 0. It’s been years so I don’t remember what else was in the format besides maybe Vampires but i remember them being super busted.

[@katzuma7641]

Imagine full power fur hires in duel links, even today they would be tier one

[@katzuma7641]

@Honest youtubr oh idk, I haven’t played duel links in years

[@katzuma7641]

@Honest youtubr I don’t think folgo and lafarl are in duel links

[@katzuma7641]

@Honest youtubr shows how long I haven’t played lol

[@lucifercon4868]

I love my fur hire deck. i picked it up on a whim on Master duel once i ended up with Rafale one day and amde a deck with it. surprisingly, despite the weaknesses of it, Fur Hire is the deck that got me the most wins and acturally caused most of my opponents to surrender

[@DestinedBeastx]

Yeah I made it to Plat with them

[@satrioprime]

Can you made it to diamond?

[@MugenAsa2205]

That's so me dude! But I often get stopped by the opponent disturbance.

[@misogi9727]

@@satrioprime easily yeah it's not hard to get there anyway, just loses turns or duels to disruption but that happens to most decks. can definitely still make it

[@Charley-ju6yg]

Another fun little spell to add could be “one for one”. Discard a monster fur hire to summon Filo from deck and immediately use Filo to get the discarded monster back. Plus it’s another way to summon, which is always great in a deck like fur hire that’s reliant on its normal summon

[@LassBisharp]

one fur one

[@oranbluethorn3956]

So glad ya got to Fur Hire, love this archetype! Also god, id love training fur hire if not for the fact the little fur hire don't activate in the damage step, imagine if they did! The continuous trap giving you another replacement fur hire AND triggering the effects of stuff like Beat to replace it, Donpa or Recon to pop stuff, or Filo and Seal to recover the guy who just got whooped? What a world Fur Hire players would live in if that was the case

[@Jeyz1965]

About two years ago I came back from a long Yu-Gi-Oh break. I realized the fur hire not long ago. Even if they are just Rogue I love the archetype. Even found a Facebook group for it a few days ago. I hope many join to exchange about the Deck

[@Sta_cotto]

Aside from... certain reasons...I love the mechanics of this archetype, and the clever wordplay in the effect text. Also I need a Tri-Brigade + Fur Hire crossover fic yesterday.

[@LassBisharp]

Too bad there isn't much lore to go off of. It'd be nice to see a Fur Hire solo adventure in Master Duel so we can learn more about them.

[@XTempestBuster]

Also... sagitta was one of the few TCG cards to not get her... "heirlooms" censored (Her bust)

[@weedleisopcute3626]

OwO

[@pokeperson1000]

1:55 considering the the way they're worded, not using "you might be Fur Hire" instead of "you might be a Fur Hire" was a missed opportunity

[@Energyhedgehog]

Another card I'd recommend for consideration to slot in is Archnemesis Eschatos. At the price of banishing 3 monsters of different types (from grave or feild), you get a beat stick that can't be destroyed by card effects and can target specific types of monsters to destroy and then deny special summons of those types following. It can be quite useful in a deck like Fur Hire, as it is quite easy to summon (although its summon requirements also hinder its usability, since Fur Hires don't want their buddies banished)

[@peytonibarra8992]

Fur Hire needs a Misc for the deck. You are screwed if the effect negate your first summon. Other than that, I love the deck. Play it at locals sometimes when I don't mind losing, lol.

[@MadArtillery]

Main reason I run Reasoning for them. Perfect way to start fur hiring without burning the normal summon and if it does end up in the grave it still an extender if you can filo/seal.

[@jcplays5831]

This archetype is just so awesome. When used correctly it really does feel like a team tagging each other in to deal with the opponent.

[@zimattack9994]

The fur bait is strong with this one. Remember for some reason furries have a lot of money

[@yusheitslv100]

It would explain how they got the suits.

[@ianr.navahuber2195]

I would recommend Running I:P Masquereena, to make Folgo indestructible from card effect Destruction, and run stuff like Raigeki or Dark Hole (You would still get 1 Draw from Folgo's effect)

[@thunderhamilton1]

Didn't think about this before I had added underworld goddess to my deck and was hmmm I should use IP toake her indestructible

[@wilhammartins9898]

Wait, Folgo will trigger after being destroyed?

[@dailybugle2147]

Started playing a pure fur hire deck in MD and got a lot of fun matches with them. Yesterday got into a duel that went on for 20+ turns with a shadoll deck. Kept trading to the point where we were both down to less than a 1000 lp. Thanks to Sagitta I got the win.

[@richardstamm2144]

On tech picks, I always push Awakening of the Possessed. You have a full team of different elements, and the potential for up to 1800 attack to 6 monsters, and more likely 900 to 4. That's still enough to turn about half your hands into OTK levels of raw damage. Run Raigeki at 3 and you can do some insane steamroll plays.

[@thunderhamilton1]

Yo let me see your deck list I'm hella Interested

[@Ramsey276one]

I too am an adherent of Doriado

[@thehavrecardman5074]

Pleasure working on this video with you. The puns and everything were amazing and excited to do more in the future! Keep the awesome work rolling!

[@GoldenNovaYugioh]

And it was a blast having your assistance and talent, it really elevated the episode! Thank you so much!

[@bosiagan]

Hot picks I use! Iiiiits a small world after all! With so many types, attributes, levels, and even varying attack and defence, you have no trouble searching for any special monster Fur Hire you need. Link apple: this one is just funny. He's either an upstart goblin or a free cyberse to go into folgo or linkuriboh. Costs a random extra deck monster but that's showbiz. Reasoning reasoning reasoning! The ONLY Fur Hire that has matching levels are Recon and Dompa. So you're almost guarenteed to find an extra help hand... provided they dont call 3 faster than a Phantom Knight enthusiast.

[@bosiagan]

Add-on. Accesscode talker IS extension for folgo and deals psychic damage to your opponent.

[@ZachPrime]

I demand a PS2 Era video game immediately, this screams low poly greatness

[@EclipseHighroller]

“A little Folgo in your cup” 😂 There goes your PG rating 😂

[@majordukem]

is it a good thing i don't get it

[@alexrazmus1798]

Call me a furry if you want, but I love cards like these Fur Hire monsters! I also love Lunalights and Melefys because of how cute and powerful they look.

[@LordVittaminn]

Along with Awakening of the Possessed, I also tend to run one or two copies of United We Stand. Have had many games where you go from an empty board to well over 12k raw damage. Add in some board wipes and cards like World Legacy Succession, Mayhem Fur Hire, and Rookie Fur Hire and you got high damage potential and good cycling and recovery. ROTA is a must to increase your chances of getting Beat fur sure and if you feel like it, adding Pot of Avarice can help keep things going on turns when you have big link plays. I'd run two I:P and then a complete arsenal of link monsters. Consider also using Underworld Goddess of the Closed World (end on I:P and two or more Fur Hires and/or Pankratops)and using it to purge huge threats if you go first, just make sure you have some way to regain momentum on your following turn. Called By the Grave can also stop first summon negates like Effect Veiler and adding Double Summon can help you normal summon a second time on your turn if your first summon gets negated and you can't stop it. I haven't tried doing this myself yet, but a buddy of mine also runs a few Mirror Forces and The Fang of Critias to get out Mirror Force Dragon to deter targeting.

[@randoweirdo3420]

I like fur hire alot but, canceling there first normal summon basically ends there turn.

[@jk844100]

Same as Floow

[@marktwayne9796]

They really need a continuous spell that can special summon a Fur Hire from the hand.

[@yourturn5059]

Love fur hire! It was one of my very first archetypes I build coming back to the game, along with Rikka. It's a great deck to teach the game too without overwhelming new players.

[@DestinedBeastx]

Yeah it was mu 1st deck coming back in the game

[@jerbear8884]

I've loved this deck since 2017 and I have always kept it as a deck option for play. I've got most of the cards pretty easily in Master Duel

[@yusheitslv100]

At one point, I wanted to play Fur Hire. It honestly looks interesting. And Rafale, Champion Fur Hire, is dragon type. And someone I knew in summer camp had a copy of Rafale, Champion Fur Hire.

[@captianblitz]

I was gonna make the Tri-Brigade joke, but ya beat me too it

[@MadArtillery]

Ah my Fur-Hires are probably one of my best masterduel decks. They can pretty easily put out 5 monster negates and a spell negate on turn one while also having a pretty mean floodgate available. Truly a brutal deck especially since they play well with reasoning as they have such varied levels and even in the grave a fur hire can be used as an extender though it's great to have 2 furhires on field capable of special summoning if one gets negated. Learning when to Folgo with filo on field is just a delicious way to help extend your field and seal + helmer/ folgo is great card advantage as well helping you have that important furhire in hand for your spells or emergency 6th monster negate. Apollusa of course being a core extradeck card.

[@xv2189]

I remember when this was tier 0 at duel links

[@battlingandballing]

I Maybe A Dragon King,But Hey,This Archetype Is Pre'ty Cool!

[@yusheitslv100]

Raphael, Champion Fur Hire, is dragon type. Also, same on the Dragon King part. (Even though I play a some non-dragon decks, and main Samurai Tribal in MTG.)

[@Gridiron992]

Having only know of this archetype through the naming controversy(Skyfang Brigade is still a better name), the deck looks fun...but a bit too fair for its own good. It can swarm pretty well...but doesn't have the crazy loops of Six Samurai. It has negation effects...that need a discard and don't destroy. It has a link monster that plusses you out the wazoo...but locks you out of a link-4 and you probably need one extra summon to get its full potential when you already burned a lot to get it out. It has a destiny draw and a field nuke... the former is worse than an instant search and the latter is more of a win more effect and doesn't let you close out the game. The art is nice and the name, while lesser, is a fun pun, but it is too honorable in a modern format that has none.

[@adaywithoutconscious7407]

Factual its a good fun competitive deck that actually takes skill to be op just sucks that theres alot of cheese players which can make this archetype hard to play

[@Ramsey276one]

SKYFANG BRIGADE WILL NEVER FALL!

[@filipvadas7602]

I love how the game has reached the point that a deck that's actually pretty balanced is underpowered as hell in the context of the meta game lol

[@MadArtillery]

They can pretty reliably put out 5 monster negates and a spell negate as they are great at making Appo so they can actually be a pretty brutal deck if you learn the combo lines. Important to have extenders like reasoning or rookie fur hire to replace the negated one to stop a single negate from ruining their day though.

[@eduardkhaylewaje1126]

yes this my fav archtype because they are pirated archtype decent effects plus Im a furry

[@BladetheFox141]

This archetype will always be my main till the day I die. Every Fur Hire card feels useful, and the versatility is super high.

[@ShadowBaofu]

This deck has a real Tale Spin aesthetic.

[@incarnateofthe7sins227]

fur hire is one of my best and favorite decks. So I thank you for the deck building ideas.

[@-AirKat-]

Fur Hire & it’s PSCT is so silly & I love it

[@marcusking332]

This needs to be updated as Fur hire got some more support since this was released.

[@geminitheimp3126]

Fur hires might know Tri-Brigade because they are named the Skyfang Brigade in the OCG

[@PorceLynPoltergeist]

1:35 I was out in public when watching the first part of this video and heckin lost it when this came up, I was not ready for that lmao

[@hughbrowne8608]

Dude sagitta was my furry awakening...

[@ODDiSEE_]

I still prefer skyfang but I wasn't mad when I saw the name "fur hire"

[@sammeyphammey349]

[@scottdreemurrthegodofcreation]

I collect these cards, not to use them in a dual, but because they’re adorable. They are adorable animals with weapons who doesn’t like that.

[@tvskull5270]

Love this deck man, it’s so fun when your opponent can’t handle the swarm

[@Legendthehedgehog]

I clicked this video to learn how to play fur hires I subscribed because of the jokes and puns

[@guy229]

Step 1. Summon Step 2. Lose

[@noahbee4290]

Instead of making almiraj and galant and running a bajillion bricks, you could just make relinquished anima and dugares to reborn formud skipper. Spellcaster+fiend+cyberse= Folgo. No bricks

[@noahbee4290]

So I just now rewatched the video and realized I made a mistake. I originally thought he was doing the combo with formud skipper, but that isn't the case. If you're just using exceed without skipper you'd still make Almiraj with your normal summon, but then you'd make dugares and reborn the monster used for almiraj's summon.

[@stardynasty6094]

Yes the furry archetype

[@fabianbeteta5795]

Still waiting for the six samurai archetype video.

[@Hunterslammer]

I don’t play, haven’t played in years. But I to this day want a fur hire deck

[@GoldenNovaYugioh]

No time like the present!

[@matthewdodd1262]

Gotta love a digimon reference in a yugioh vid 🤣

[@nickkelley9139]

I have a love-hate relationship with the name "Fur Hire". On one hand, the pun is decently clever in emphasizing that they are mercenaries and that it extends to the card text is also kind of neat. But at the same time it makes their card text a little hard to read when you're used to how cards normally indicate an archetype and that they discarded the name Skyfang Brigade, which is such a cool name that it honestly feels like a crime to have not used it.

[@aklirothcranixvi944]

8:52 Smash.

[@djskittle4]

Honestly, I also think that tri-brigade and fur hire have some kind of connections. Since between all of the decks. They work really well with tri-brigade. 😂

[@maunabesanika]

Wait how's fur hire balance?

[@shiroyama5137]

Fur Hire is a strong deck but it need more spell, trap and extra deck support to really compete in tournament play and casual play. As someone who bought a box on day one and fully build a fur hire deck with that said box and loves the fur hire archetype i got the impression that the deck wanted to turbo out and swarm the board but its being held back with the lack of spell, trap and extra deck support but knowing konimi they will never do it

[@Stony2103]

Well, this archetype isn't realy strong at all, to be honest. It's not that the pieces themselves don't build a solid core, it's just that the deck is simply a worse deck than it's competitors. This isn't really based on needing more support, but fundamental flaws in it's gameplay. It needs lots of resources from your hand to keep your plays going since you have to special them. This means playing non-engine cards like handtraps actively decreases your power level, but playing without handtraps is a death sentence. There's simply no reason to play a middling deck like this, being a mashup of Tri-Brigade and Flundereeze, when both of these decks have a way easier time breaking through boards, running handtraps, playing through negation, and not needing their only normal to start off their combo (Flunder just gets another one).

[@victorleppas3067]

My first serious deck years ago, this furry fun deck. Pure or tri bri mix is pretty fun. And to draw, Pintoing launch, this card is draw 1 each turn but without lose more than one spell if the effect/activation is negated, you dont use your important extra and ... less expensive than the second pot you talk about My next serious deck in 2022 : Albaz dragonmaid :3
