Why Do So Many People Love This FLOODGATE!? [Yu-Gi-Oh! Archetypes Explained: Horus]

[@astralguardian5930]

I think if the Sons of Horus were to have their own boss version of Horus, I feel like being Rank 8 XYZ could be interesting, they already got a huge pool for that Rank but it just would be sick to have it to bring the whole thing together.

[@yusheitslv100]

Hours the Black Flame Dragon R8. (Also, Black Flame LV8 is in the artwork of Canopic Protector.)

[@astralguardian5930]

@joeheitslv100 I mean that would be on the nose but I feel like a name I would do for a custom Horus XYZ would be Horus, the Eclipsing Flame Dragon. Would still keep with the "dark" flame naming and while Ra is the more well known Sun God, Horus also has been known by that Sun God mantle, so Eclipsing would make sense for trying to get both those themes together. Plus still sounds cool.

[@justamuart]

4+ Mats Cannot be used as an XYZ material. This card gains Rhongo Bongo's effects depending on the number of "Horus" monsters materials it has.

[@endeavor1299]

​@@justamuart to be banned? No thanks

[@endeavor1299]

Something like the xyz Garunix would be perfect, I give you for example: 2+ level 8 (max 4) *broken effects depending on how many materials and/or related to spells* When it leaves the field due to an opponent's card: special 1 "Horus the Black Flame Dragon" monster from hand, deck or GY ignoring its summon conditions.

[@MateFold]

Im building a Horus-Ra deck at the speed of light. Now we have enough tribute fodder to normal summon Obelisk and Ra and special summon Osiris thanks to the sons of Horus.

[@dakotastein9499]

oh shit i didint even think about adding a god card to the equasion,ra especially.

[@threesofthree6100]

The Sons are absolutely nuts. Their individual effects may not necessarily be the craziest, but their recursion and massive stats are honestly good enough on their own. If your opponent doesn't out the Sarcophagus, you pretty much just drown them in advantage each turn.

[@FGOboi]

Man if only Horus makes a lot of kids, we will get more support for this archetype

[@idosarts_and_krafts]

We got cool ones tho And as a bonus, when i originally saw the new Horus "support" i found an old tv show i used to watch with a lowkey banger theme ( mummies alive, and whoooo boi is the theme so good, also oddly fitting with the new cards)

[@WhyEvenExist]

One question how's the mother 😅😮🤔🤔

[@Darkslayer289]

Horus could get retrained versions like Armed Dragon did with its thunder variants.

[@idosarts_and_krafts]

@@Darkslayer289 should we tell him about metaphys horus?

[@Darkslayer289]

@@idosarts_and_krafts What about it? My point is if the Armed Dragon cards could get retrained in the form of the Armed Dragon Thunder LV cards, then Horus could get the same treatment.

[@23gameoverlord]

Honestly I want these cards. I used to have the basic Horus Lv. Monsters but that's it. Now after seeing these new cards, I want to play them.

[@StonedDragons]

I run sword soul metaphys and metaphys horus i something I always enjoy pulling out when the opponent has some big hard to remove asshole, clear their field of everything else and then 'give me a monster'.

[@CD-Gaming]

I run Lv 8 in my Goat deck, that King Tiger, for Spell negation and cuz 3000 ATK! (They're not especially deep reasons, but then, do they need to be? After all, I also run Mobius cuz I needed another card and Monarch!)

[@duskframe7331]

also to note that LV8 can be added with melody of awakening dragon

[@Sta_cotto]

What I would've given to see Atem bring out a beta version of Horus during his final duel with Yugi as a parallel to the latter bringing out the Silent duo.

[@OG-ColorfulAbyss.]

Nah, let's say somehow Bakura had turned Ra against Atem. They brought up Horus quite a bit throughout the arc, Atem could have summoned him as a counter and substitute for Ra until he got him back. This would line up with the IRL game too because most of Ra's anime effects have been turned into spell cards and Horus 8 omni negates spells.

Negate that target's effects. Pendulum Monster: Once per turn: Your opponent chooses 1 monster they control and gives control of it to you, but it cannot attack this turn

[@bajanyaoikaizer6902]

Wasn't Horus the Black Flame Dragon line the best if the LV series and the actual strategy used IRL usef by Sorano in the anime. Only the Armed Dragon line the second best. And they were both the original main dragon types. If only some of the other LV momsters got some of that treatment and also some new ones.

[@Bezaliel13]

Helped that Horus had an Effect you would want at your End Phase.

[@fryenchill2817]

One really cool piece of synergy you missed was the fact that 3 of the sons are tri-type (in fact, they're all different tri-types), and as it turns out, tri-brigade monsters aren't exactly against being sent to the grave, so I could see this engine giving Tri-Brigade a lot of powerful options, as well as a much more stable grind game.

[@xryuran]

Is there enough extra deck space to run a tri package and a rank 8 package?

[@fryenchill2817]

@@xryuran The rank 8 package would have to be small, but yeah, there should be room, it would hypothetically replace the lyrilusc stuff

[@trevintidmarsh5483]

The deck that I run that has Horus in it is a combination Ra and Nephthys ritual link deck, haven’t really tested it yet but with the new support for Horus I’m thinking of getting them and putting them in this deck to see how they run together, and it’s going to be two copies of each card apiece including new spell and trap

[@snake23001]

The sly cooper reference was the best

[@Numbers_Game]

"What do all of you have to say?" I have to say with so many lvl 8's you should take a page out of blue eyes book and run Trade-in. Horus lvl 8 also works with Melody of awakening dragon, so make of that what you will.

[@TheArctus]

For what it's worth, the main reason people like floodgates is frustration. Most people turn to those decks when they get salty, which usually occurs at the typical yugioh BS of having 0 resources or limits. 20 card starting hand +links is the definition of every game looks the same

[@pablodelgado7919]

I loved using the Horus moster cards in the first Tagforce game, especially Horus The Black Flame Dragon Level 8 as my main big monster.

[@TheWcasey]

Aye more Horus support hopefully well get more Egyptian Cards for the other gods and support to get them out.

[@RedTheWeeb]

I dont get how we dont have a LVL field spell based on stages like ? "FINAL STAGE" (treated as a lvl card)

[@azaizer]

Would be AWESOME to have a LVL field spell that had a built in Level Up/Down abilities along with giving you the ability to reshuffle LV monsters back into the deck to search out another corresponding version that you needed. Would also be nice if it provided some kind of effect where if your Level monster was removed from the field, then during the End Phase your could Special Summon back a LVL that was lower than it previously. I always thought it was strange how it took a bit of work to level them up, that there should be some amount of protection of instead of outright killing them off at higher levels, they'd simply level down each time if they were leveled up properly by their own effects.

[@RedTheWeeb]

@@azaizer I like the idea of cheating out lvl cards with different names that are the same level as one you have gotten out already by ignoring its summoning requirements in a like monster hunter-esq "hunt multiple of these monsters on this quest in the timelimit" so say you have armed dragon lvl 7 you bring out ultimate insect lvl 7

[@xKingGeorgeTheThirdx]

Volcanic Shell is spicy in this. Pitch a Shell in hand with Pharonic Sarcophagus, foolish a Horus monster, pay the 500 LP to search another Shell, repeat.

[@xSwiftx4]

Yeah but I mean all you're doing is just inflicting 1000 damage to your opponent I don't know if that alone is reason enough to have Volcanic Shell in the Deck. What else does it serve?

[@snowboundwhale6860]

Thank you for recommending Vanguard of the Underworld Emperor because I didn't know that card existed, but it's a neat L8 reptile and I love the art on it. The Horus cards are interesting; Black Flame was the best Lv monster, which was always a shame since it was also among the first, but it is very cool and it's cheeky how they made Horus dragon basically a colour shifted Ra dragon but it actually works for them because of Ra and Horus' relationship (compared to say Two-Mouthed Dark Ruler/ Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon).

[@Vii.671]

Nova, since you did Horus, can u try doing felgrand?

[@DavidS-gx1ok]

We will soon get an xyz horus retrain for sure!

[@connornewman1706]

Thankfull there finally getting some love again... when i was at school i started like every kid at time which was stack of carda you thought were cool (mostly beast+beat 4 me)..... but as i learned and these sets came out i ran horus/armed dragon with element dragon,flips n summon skull thrown in cos fav lol.... ran that most way through middle n upper schools only issue back then was lv4 having 1600 atk, therefore masked dragons effect couldnt summon it, armed dragon was able to summon lv3 on their turn and evo to lv5 as soon as u drawn

[@Project_TTG]

Lord of the Heavenly Prison is another good card to pair with them to keep cards protected or punch

[@u-topic4795]

Easy access to 3 Level 8 monsters brings you to coach king. Which thrice per turn: you can detach 1 to draw 1. In conclusion: draw 3. But no battle phase though, so keep in mind

[@jh9794]

I love this particular LV set. LV8 an infinite spell negate but it's also not untouchable and obnoxious. Shame I've yet to make a working deck yet.

Well, some retrains of the Black Flame Dragon cards would be nice. It worked for Armed Dragons, so why not here? Also, a new Level Up spell, or maybe multiple variants of them? A Quick-Play Level Up whose summons are treated as being summoned by LV monsters, a Level Up Spell that banishes from the GY to level up, maybe something that makes revivals easier? Give LVs some new general support is what I'm saying.

[@Miss-Alexis]

I love Horus the Black Flame Dragon. It's my favorite combination of type and attribute in FIRE Dragon, it's very strong even today (if you can summon it), and in the video games, Horus is a reliable choice for a boss monster, especially in a Dragon deck! I like playing Horus in Goat Format as well

[@OneWingedAngelsBand]

Upon playtesting I've found a lot of success using the Hieratic XYZs in the deck, particularly Sky Dragon Overlord and Sun Dragon Overlord. Sky to negate and Sun to clear the field. And even if you detach the Horus sons for the XYZ effects, you can bring them back anyway with Sarcophagus.

[@delllee4915]

I'm sorry.... did you say Sons of Horus? *THIS HERESY CANNOT STAND!*

[@OG-ColorfulAbyss.]

Really I want them to take Ra, Nepthys, Horus, Hieratics (or at least Heliopolos and that vanilla monster that looks like Ra Sphere Mode, and Blaze Fenix, and The Creator, and make them all one archetype. and maybe the Gravekeeper's cuz they're like the prerequisite to the humanoid Nepthys monsters. Also some of their effects were good but I hate that none of the Sons of Horus don't look like Horus except for Aegis. In fact they all look like humans in armor while Horus is an actual dragon.
