Ninjas Explained in 52 Minutes [Yu-Gi-Oh! Archetype Analysis]

[@morthozst-n-rusalye]

Long before time,the first spinjutsu created ninjago-

[@FusionHero1298]

I love ninjas and ninjago I think they're amazing!

[@Mockingbird0014]

Coincidentally I just came from a LEGO Ninjago video before seeing this video and noticing it was uploaded recently.

[@yusheitslv100]

Long before time had a name, the First Spinjutsu Master used the Four Golden Weapons of Spinjutsu to create Ninjago. The Scythe of Quakes. The Shurikens of Ice. The Nunchucks of Lightning. And the Sword of Fire.

[@jasperjavillo686]

Sees Green Ninja. No Ninjago reference. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

[@legendofdymin]

Agreed

[@daltonlefler892]

It kinda makes sense that ninjas managed to keep their archetype status hidden at first

[@thiagodias5530]

As far as I remember. Lady Nina Yae had been released around the same time as Roc from the Valley of Haze. The strategy was to discard Roc with Yae's effect, trigger Roc's effect in the graveyard and shuffle him into the deck, then activate ninjitsu art of transformation and tribute Yae or another LV3 or higher Ninja to summon Roc directly from the Deck onto the field.

[@ZEDEX252]

I love the new support. It help ties (almost) all the ninja playstyle so they can now finally be a solid deck

[@LeAndre_McCoy]

39:20 It's for the Dragon Ninjas. They require an Art and Ninja, to activate their effects. Upon summon, you get to pick up whichever you're missing.

[@zachbahamutson5477]

The interesting thing about this archetype is that it epitomizes one of the many traits people tend to forget about ninjas, the sheer Ingenuity you have to have to be a ninja. I'm serious Ninja's were all about ingenuity and innovation I mean look at a lot of what their gear was, which was usually mundane everyday items that were modified for newer purposes and easily disposable. No ninja tool ever had only one purpose as every tool was meant to be multi-purpose and many of the Ninja cards were multi-purpose.

[@antoniomontana95]

That cricket sound when you showed the field spell...so soothing haha. The first i saw the artwork i literally tought the same: one of the most beautiful artworks ever. It also looks so cozy and peaceful. Truly beautiful

[@greymon3654]

Black dragon ninja is a monster in Duel links. You can banish him multiple times and just beat your opponent into the dust.

[@tossthegoats4280]

I remember using super transformations back when I was fresh to the game to summon galaxy eyes photon dragon. You use the effects to tag out to unlink from the trap so you aren’t destroyed if they pop it.

[@taylorsmith894]

I Play a ninja/ Karakuri deck. The best part about my deck is the diversity I put into it. I usually play one copy of each ninja, besides a few powerful ninjas, because, if you play it right, it can become very easy to recycle the ninjas from the graveyard. Playing it this way gives your opponent more than 1 problem to deal with while being unpredictable. I set up so many counters to stall my opponent so I can survive till the next turn to put more problems on the field for my adversary. I don't win them all but, the ones I do win, are always a fight for the top of the mountain. Keep up the good work because these videos help me create a, very powerful, semi pure ninja deck.

[@taylorsmith894]

I'm hoping to have some of my master duels on my page if anyone is interested in potential of the ninja Deck. I have high hopes for this archetype tbh

[@cipherreese8877]

Anyone thinking we’ll get a Green Dragon Ninja now that we have a Green Ninja? Maybe it’ll be Insect type

Nah. Dragon type. Why? Because we just jump up, kick back, whip around, and spin!

For tech cards Magic Planter is absolutely vital for any ninja deck, if you're not a fan of ninjitsu alchemy's destruction cost getting rid of all ninjitsu cards.

So many ninja monsters, but they are so spilt apart, besides their spells and traps, which are good, I wish I could learn how to use them for my own evil ways.

[@stevenreyes7779]

1.Wait for someone to so summon a really good monster (let’s say neo blue eyes ultimate dragon) 2.use super transformation to take that monster along with your own to summon yellow dragon, 3.use the effect of yellow dragon to destroy some of their cards 4. Use mirage transformation to steal said monster and attack (Hope this helps, this actually won me alot of duels

You failed to mention that Black Dragon Ninja can continuously remove itself and bring itself back for repeated attacks during the battle phase as long as you have the cards to send to the graveyard.. This is by far my most favourite card.

[@patdav56]

Mini tech pick, if you want the draw power of Alchemy but dont want to wipe your entire ninjitsu backrow, use Magic Planter, letting you destroy 1 continuous trap for a draw 2, at the cost of searchability

[@coobe7291]

[@23gameoverlord]

SHOW ME THE WIN-INJA'S!!!!! 😆 😆

[@angrynightmob]

I honestly would love a full archetype of just the Mystical Ninja Cards, and since it's another Konami game, they could easily pull from the series. You could have a boss monster in The Great Peach Mountain Battleship Balberra, which, upon destruction or removal, could special summon The Fairy of Love and Dreams D'Etoile

[@simplelad4722]

In the case of art of alchemy, I think magic planter would be much much better. Welp, time to build my ninja deck.

[@NelsonOokami]

I like playing ninjas a lot. I built a control deck using cards like Amorphage Goliath (can't summon from Extra Deck) + Dark Simorgh (can't set cards) + Anti-Spell Fragrance (has to set spells before using them) + Performapal Five-Rainbow Magician (the player with no spells or traps on the field can't attack or activate monster effects). It may seem improbable to create a field with those but it's fairly easy with the ninjutsus. So... The player can't set anything, or activate monster effects on the field, nor attack or even ss from the Extra Deck. Kinda fun. :P

[@pokeperson1000]

How does Alchemy interact with White Dragon? Since it doesn't say "and if you do", does that mean you get to have a free pot of greed, or do you fail to draw cards altogether?

[@GoldenNovaYugioh]

Unfortunatly, it's a non-bo. The 'and if you do' denotes you have to do the first to do that second AND that it happens simlutaneously. But since Alchemy says 'THEN draw 2 cards', it means you have to destroy at least one Ninjitsu art to do the rest of the effect, then the draw happens afterwords. So what's worse, it can cause things to miss timing, if that ever becomes relevant xD

All fun comes from anticipation, that said: The forced jokes after every card are painful to get through, I kinda sucked it up and got through the video on sheer will but by the halfway point it really was making me wanna watch anything else, what is the point of making countless jokes if by design they aren't funny? and if they were to be interesting they are not on the basis of expecting them every single card, it's just kinda pointless and tired I think Rata has the most enjoyable content when it comes to "just reading and explaining a bunch of cards" type of videos, and he keeps it funny, light hearted and interesting all the way through without forcing bad jokes/writing hundreds of times in a single video, not saying people gotta copy him but man this style of video can be so much more respectful of the viewer's time I'd love to binge this whole channel but it's just too much death time if I'm to expect this amount of unfunny and forced bits every video, not even talking about being tired of it like 10 minutes in (I know it's kinda aggro but it's just my opinion, take it as constructive feedback or leave it if you like the way you run things even tho some people won't like it, it ain't meant to be an attack

Another archetype that is forsaken and desperately needs new support, updates , retrains etc. Played a ninja deck for months in MD and it just doesn’t hold up or do anything. The biggest problem is the deck doesn’t do much and the costs you have to pay to do what are now vanilla effects are ridiculous! The boss Ninja monsters are too clunky and hard to get out and to activate the effects. I wanted to like that deck so much. I even did the anti fragrance/simorgh lock…just wasn’t enough. 🤦🏾‍♂️😔 EDIT: There is new ninja support??? Just now seeing this. It’s not in MD yet so I don’t know if it’s good or not but, I mainly want archetypes to be good without splash cards/boss monsters. Can they hold their own with their own? Not just running to big brother DPE or Big sis Barrone all the time. Can they fight their own battles?!
