Gusto - Failed Cards, Archetypes, and Sometimes Mechanics in Yu-Gi-Oh

More like, "WHEN missed timing was an archetype"

[@josbertgarcia5606]

I really hate how most archtype have a lot of if effect to go to the GY and when send to the GY, activate his effect, taking priority over gusto and missing the timing of any gusto because they have when you can.

[@truetakofame4112]

"the archetype was so mid, Winda even abandoned it." Even Volcanics and other archetypes couldn't burn that much.

[@soukenmarufwt5224]

Wind was controlled before being freed and went to become part of ritual beasts. That's the story. Ariel is the opposite. Was better as an ice barrier then Gishki or Nekroz

[@fakhrifr7833]

Not just Winda, butt all of clan menbers. The first who did it is wynn.

[@legeul]

To be fair though, based on the events of Duel Terminal, a lot of people from the various tribes died and new tribes were formed with the survivors. Ritual beasts being one of such tribes with Gusto. And then there's Nekroz which was created with the survivors of the Gishki tribe.

[@okita_souji_alter]

Wait dont one of the gusto's become a ritual beast too? Double dosage😭

[@airtempest8945]

Gusto is probably the biggest victim of the When/Can curse in Yugioh. I genuinely think these things would've been viable at some level if they were If/Cans instead of When/Cans, or even just When/Dos.

[@selectivepontification8766]

If they were released in the modern day they'd definitely be "if" effects, and probably also have hard once-per-turns on everything because the alternative is them vomiting their entire deck in one turn

[@benplocica3790]

[@Batrstad]

As i Gusto main I do want to note: Winda IS eventually saved from the Shadoll horror- mattered a great deal that my peaceful wind folk got brutalized but there IS a happy ending

[@MarioMastar]

The card lore is arguably one of the best things about Yugioh, being a story within a story, evne with almost no bearing on the actual card game. Really wish effect monsters had flavor text like the normal monsters so we could get some more, but it's fun to put the pieces together... like the millenium puzzles! OHO! I think I solved Yugioh! Hopefully the spirit who inhabits me isn't evil....

I think the only reason they don't is to avoid being too close to MtG.

[@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire]

The WIND archetype is so under supported that “Wind Effigy”, the WIND “Effigy” monster, only has 2 cards that can be used for it’s effect to count as 2 tributes for the normal summon of a normal WIND monster: “Leonardo's Silver Skyship”, an illegal match winner pendulum monster, and “Simorgh, Bird of Ancestry”, which only counts as a normal monster while in your hand.

[@CB-L]

Made worse that both cards came out *after* the release of Wind Effigy

[@Waldo_I_Am]

​@@CB-L they made Simorgh specifically to give the Effigy a target.

[@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire]

@@Waldo_I_Am Here, that gives me an idea for a new “Primoredial Effigy” card: _Guabancex, the Primoredial Effigy of Wind_ (WIND) Level 7 Winged Beast/Effect _You can only control 1 “Primoredial Effigy” monster. This card is treated as a Normal Monster while in your hand. During your Main Phase, you can Normal Summon 1 WIND Normal Monster or “Primoredial” monster in addition to your Normal Summon/Set. (You can only gain this effect once per turn.) You can Normal Summon/Set WIND Normal Monsters and “Primoredial” monsters with 1 or 2 less tributes. Your opponent cannot negate your Normal or Flip Summon of a WIND Normal Monster or “Primoredial” Monster. If you Normal or Flip Summon a WIND Normal Monster or “Primoredial”, it gains ATK equal to its original DEF, and DEF Equal to its original ATK. If a WIND Normal Monster or “Primoredial” you control attacks an opponent’s defense position monster, inflict piercing battle damage._ ATK/0 DEF/2600 Basically it’s an augmented version of the current “Wind Effigy” but A: Designed to work with ALL higher level WIND Normal Monsters, B: Is part of the “Primoredial” archetype which supports Normal Monsters anyway, and C: Massively augments your WIND Normal Monsters and “Primoredial” monsters by making them MUCH easier to summon, gives them more ATK/DEF on said summon, and gives them piercing battle damage.

[@SakuraAvalon]

Nah, what makes it worse, is Whirlwind Prodigy exists.

[@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire]

@@SakuraAvalon I’m looking it up right now, and there seem to be EXACTLY 21 monsters you can use its effect for, while the other attributes have MANY more monsters to do so with.

[@arielcevallos8188]

I like that, in that era, Konami still care about giving a Extra Deck monster the require of one monster from their archetype to summon it. These days you rarely see that in Synchro, Xyz or Link archetype. That's one of the reasons why Extra Decks monters nowdays are more easy and abuseable to use, leading them to stay in the Banlist radar.

[@theoldmonk]

Always loved this deck, it is a joy to get Sphreeze on the field and watch people just shake their heads in disbelief that this was a deck lol Still remember going against a pro-player for fun and he saw Winda and went "lol okay, not even let you normal summon" and proceeded to slaughter me while telling me all the cheeky stuff his friend was pulling with the deck.

[@jonathandeepee8317]

I tried to use this deck as a kid, everyone would tell me it was trash... but i wanted it to win u.u i love the whole green wind theme

[@NotControlledByMillipedes]

Dragunuity has the same theming and it's still pretty viable

[@MarioMastar]

I feel that way about cards with good artwork. I don't care if the archetype is "trash", if the artwork is good, I'll have more fun losing while playing my favorites than winning cause I splurged on the plethora of generic looking anime style cards. At least unlike Digimon, the humans usually build up to summon a powerful dragon or majestic beast as the boss monster, not the other way around like most other monster based games....

[@kawaiiprophet9410]

TheDuelLogs summoning more support for a failed archetype once again, I see

[@HazeEmry]

Let's fucking hope so. Though I don't think that would happen since the lore has gone waaay past Gusto's generation. But hey, Ice Barrier got a comeback so who knows...

[@tonedeafcrow]

Gusto will forever be special to me as a lore enjoyer and it being the deck that got me back into the game being the first deck i build in master duel (and having multiple opponent not reading cards moments) sucks missed timing being a thing in this game :/ hopefully wind will have its chance like fire has been having (thats not floo summoning stormwinds lol)

[@lancerguy3667]

The archetype so mid, one of its mascot monsters became more powerful by dying and having her corpse puppeted by an eldritch horror

[@quijassajiuq900]

Winda didn't "abandon" the archetype she was fucking killed and forcibly conscripted into Shadolls. 🗿 She was then revived and joined the Ritual Beasts because all of her friends died more than 100 years ago.

I would always get the text "you missed the timing of the activation of the effect".

[@CB-L]

I remember Gusto for being ridiculously expensive(especially Emeral) back in the days mainly due to Duel terminal randomness stupidity.

[@AstralFlame]

big time gusto fan and this vid is soooo good EXCEPT for talking about Griffon. That card is actually CRACKED with Tailwind. If you use tailwind in your combo to summon vedir u can bin Griffon and then when u make sphreez you add back griffon, use tailwind in gy to discard it and get a summon of any gusto monster and any gusto spell/trap. Its an amazing one of for the deck.

I once ran a D&D campaign around the Duel Terminal. My players each picked a card to base their character on. They also weren’t aware of the Duel Terminal storyline. One of my players managed to spot a string sticking out of the back of Winda’s neck. They managed to save Winda from her Shaddoll fate, but despite all my hints trying to ward them from tracing the string back to its source, they ignored me and ended up getting tpk’d by Shaddoll Construct. I’m thinking about trying this campaign again, and using their dead characters as Shaddoll monsters.

[@IamJerf]

I want to try this out. This definitely sounds like something I would do with my friends who heavily do DnD campaigns and also play Yu-Gi-Oh but don't know much about the DT lore

[@Chikayuki]

I made Gusto recently. Griffin became much better with the Wind Channeler or Tempest to discard, it can use the Speedroid engine really easily, and although it is not amazing, I still got wins against VS with this Deck ^^

[@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire]

0:01 Idea make a “Simorgh” and “Gusto” joint Boss monster: _Daigusto Simorgh, Bird of Gusto_ (WIND) Level 7 Winged Beast/Synchro/Tuner/Effect 1 or more Tuner monsters + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters _If this face-up card you control would leave the field, shuffle it into your extra deck instead. If this card is Synchro Summoned using only WIND materials, you can shuffle your entire hand into your deck, and if you do (or if there were no cards in your hand to begin with), draw cards until you have 6 cards in your hand. You can only use this effect of “Daigusto Simorgh, Bird of Gusto” once per turn. During your Main Phase, you can Normal Summon up to 2 WIND monsters in addition to your Normal Summon/Set. (You can only gain this effect once per turn.) All monsters on the field can be treated as 2 tributes for the Summon/Set of a WIND monster. Each time a WIND monster is summoned and/or a Spell/Trap card or effect is activated, You gain 500 LP. You can declare the name of 1 monster that mentions "Simorgh" or “Gusto” in their names or text (Quick Effect): Pay LP equal to that monster’s original total ATK/DEF, then Normal or Special Summon it from your hand, deck or GY._ ATK/2700 DEF/1000

[@AnarchoCatBoyEthan]

Yes baby! always thought the gusto were so weird so very excited about this one. Thanks DuelLogs squad

[@GreenNeonzzz]

Despite it having the missed timing problems, I run this deck occasionally as a casual in Master Duel. Love the theme, and nothing is more satisfying than crashing the tiny birbs with Sphreez out against big beat sticks for OTKs against unsuspecting opponents Only one other time I ran into another Gusto player in MD, and it got my respect for sure. Literally the underdog (or bird?) archetype for me that I can't help but love even if everyone else clowns on it

[@tonirasic1728]

I will always love gusto Griffin for being the best discard fodder ever. Recently I made a casual non archetypal rank 6 spam Deck and one of my main plays is sending Griffin to the gy to special summon apprentice illusion magician, then summoning sage if the gusto off of Griffin.

[@Baron2662]

I hope you eventually cover vehicroids, the whole archetype just makes me sad. It’s such a cool concept but it just suffers from overreliance on normal summons and mediocre effects. Even its fusion spell doesn’t work for certain fusion monsters.

[@thunderhogTH]

As a long time gusto enjoyer, I do want to point out some of the smaller qualities some of the more jank cards have that arent as obvious. Kamui was playable at 1 in the deck, not exactly for the flip effect but that could come up if you drew him, but rather as a combo piece to the sphreez otk. Kamui was the lowest attack non tuner Gusto monster at the time, and if you had one in deck with a field of sphreez and guldo crashing to become egul then kamui, you could get 8100 damage off of a monster that was at least 2800 atk, and in a format where REDMD and chaos dragons existed, that was worth it just for the otk. Also for Daigusto Falcos, his use was really niche, mainly as a counter to steelswarm roach as a monster that was too small for his effect, but would instantly be big enough to beat it in battle. Alternatively it would act as awkward bridge as the level 4 non tuner for Sphreez if you had 2 tuners and 1 non tuner.

[@EddoDomin]

[@red_panda5901]

Sad to see this video, but I knew it would come at some point. Gusto is a personal favorite deck of mine, even managed to pull of an otk a couple times, but even I can admit it has its downsides. Although one thing I can say, I don't think I've ever missed the timing on pilica (I play on master duel) I've also tried experimenting with speedroid to get more bodies on the field for plays and have included the wind elemental lord since I'm able to manipulate my graveyard a fair bit with effects. Really hoping it gets more support at some point, maybe even something tying in ritual beasts

“The power of grammar” - duel logs, 2024

[@SeRoShadow]

question in Master Duel from a non-player can you chain Light Force Sword in response to opponent declaring a cost, like Atem did to Kaiba ? Kaiba declared he will tribute 3 monsters and Atem activated Light Force Sword in response, banishing Obelisk. When the attack declaration of a monster isn't responded ... - Osiris ATK declaration negated by Command Silencer negating the player attack declaration; - Obelisk ATK negated by Electromagnetic Turtle ending the battlephase ; ... it moves to a damage-step phase. If thats so, when a cost declaration isn't responded, shouldn't it move to a "cost-step" phase ??? In the anime at least, all plays have to be declared. To summon a 5+ level monster, a char always started by declaring the cost and not with the cost-resolve. Instead of "I summon A by tributing XYZ" the anime has "I tribute XYZ (cost-step, can be responded) ... to summon A (cost-resolve, can't be responded when summoning, can be chained to)" is cost-step a thing ? because I believe it should. Here is how i see it should work: - Player 2 - Activates the Effect"Ash Blossom" - Player 2 - OP Declares the Cost "Ash Blossom", cost-step ( that would be revealing the card in hand, for effects, not for summoning ) - Player 1 - Chain Light Force Sword, resulting in "Ash Blossom" getting banished. Since the declared card is no longer in hand, OP gets to replay to respond in other ways if possible. OR - Player 1 - Chain Light Force Sword, resulting in "Ash Blossom" NOT getting banished. The "Ash Blossom" moves to cost-resolve and resolves its effect.

[@vereflores1240]

[@gekikudo]

This was bt far my favorite deck when I still played. Mostly because I mainly played counter top with my friends and we didn't know about dumb missed timing rules. It's simultaneously one of the most fun points of my time playing and my loss of innocence because the second I took it on dueling network, I realized how bad Konami is at game design

[@Fairies-Warden]

Wait Gustos were bad? Then why do they have a specific counter card printed by Konami for them. I’m talking about “Poisonous Winds”.

[@Realdeal958]

Gustos were one of my first archetypes and i used them all the time in the handheld games like the 5ds and Tag Force games. They carried me a lot. seeing how they just aren't good in the game compared to everything else especially with the whole missing timing really sucks. This hurts even more knowing that Mikanko and Yubel do what Gustos do better. It feels obsolete now. I don't know if they'll ever get more support but a guy can dream.

[@Robbbbinator]

I just LOVE that archetype! Playing it in master duel with Windwitch and it is still a lot of fun. Although it still is a Crystal wing plus Sphreez and another of the small gusto monsters who float. Or better if the opponent is not reading, playing galaxy and running into your Sphreez or the other lttle gusto for game😂

If this card is used as tribute or material for the summon of a “Floowandereeze” or “Gusto” monster: Draw 2 cards. You can only use each of the following effects of "Floowandereeze & Gusto" once per turn, and can only Special Summon “Gusto” monsters during the turn you activate either effect. If this card is Normal Summoned: You can add 1 card that mentions “Floowandereeze” or “Gusto” in its name or text from your Deck or GY to your hand. If a Winged Beast monster is Normal Summoned to your field while this card is banished: You can add this card to your hand._ ATK/900 DEF/1100

They are amazing and really fun to play against not meta deck. Can be really tricky, steal monster and summon some really dirty boss monster at not cost. But they really suffer for the when/can condition and have and the "im not attacking you" opponent. Without ways to fill the GY, the gusto deck really feel weak to the point you are forced to pay lifepoint to fill your own GY.

[@Entei9000]

I guess I can see why missed timing is a thing because it gives players an option to counter certain cards, but I feel like it mostly only serves to make the game more confusing than it already is, and to make bad cards worse than they already are. I think they should either get rid of it, alter cards that can't miss timing to make it so they can, or at least make it easier to distinguish what causes it, other than remembering the difference between "if" and "when". Side note, I think Caam was one of the main reason that Mind Master got banned if I'm not mistaken.

[@nazeersadek6705]

11:56 the picture shows she’s not a tuner

[@BondhanClanner]

Gusto is bad cz Mistiming issue. If Gusto has "If" Clause, then it might be fun for casual and fun defensive decks. Its kinda sad how Gusto has lotta trivia and a good storyline but abandoned for such a reason. Quick trivia : Someone actually made singles called "Story of Winda", series of songs dedicated to her. About her daily life takin care of nature and birds, reminiscence of her "sister" Wynn, and how she deal with poisonous wind and possessed by Shaddoll. So good that some made into some rhythm games.

Seeing how badly my beloved Gusto archetype was screwed over by incredibly pedantic and stupid rulings on wording just makes me even more grateful that my current TCG, Cardfight Vanguard, lets you put all relevant skills on standby when they meet their conditions. Not only that, players can activate them in any order they wish, and performing as much of that effect as they possibly can. So straightforward.

[@windmirror7083]

Im actually fine with missing the timing effects. Keeps things fresh for 1. But I wish this was used more for clearly higher tiered archetypes than lower tiered ones. But ig this fine since the trade off is that you can float essentially indefinitely and loses a any OPT restrictions. But the key cards/starters should be kept "If's" imo

When i first started playing Duel Links, knowing nothing about the "when" ruling, I actually wrote to Konami telling them that there was a programing error, because I kept seeing a "missed timing" message

ahhh yes, the archtype where nearly all the lore-important member abandoned it Wynn left foor the charmers Winda was mind controled into Shadoll before becoming a Spiritual Beast Tamer Kamui grew old and led the Spiritual Beasts instead

I really hate that "When" misses timing on even a spell card going to grave at the same time, but "If" is so lenient that you can choose to activate it immediately or sandwiched later in the chainlink. They should make "When" just mean mandatory effects that trigger without timing.

Not that it was incredibly relevant but Tempest pitch Griffin gets to Musto, which could immediately shut down an opposing Ophion and made for a somewhat-not-terrible way for Rulers to answer Ophion set 4 pass. On the off chance you don't need this, Griffin is also an immediate target in grave for Debris to go into an Iron Chain, which could become a PSB in conjunction with Windaar summoned by Griffin. It made for the tiniest of synergy that resulted in probably the single worst Ruler variant ever conceived, Gusto Rulers. Edit: not the last part cuz it's not a Debris target. But this was somehow still the basis of a Ruler variant
