How Good is the MEMENTOTLAN Archetype?

[@MrJuan_Vzla]

Memento looks like an archetype designed to teach new player; simple effects and interactions, doesn't require ED and they are retrained monsters.

[@MattOsheaYGO]

That sounds about right! its an interesting archetype that unfortunately is pretty high rarity

[@u.a.perfectace7786]

Typical deck builder set bullshitb with how pull rates and rarties work tbh. Shame too. Memento is a cool archetype (Not gonna refer it by Mementolan lool). No reason why things like Witch and Party are so pricy.

Nice short synopsis of the archtype, I think almost pretty much you said was spot on. As for ratios, I been liking Mace at 2 and bone back at 3. I think if you lose the dice roll your opponent disrupting your avenue to getting to the combined creation is going to happen a lot more often than not, giving you the window for triggering bone back. Another note is you can crash into an opponent's monster during the BP which gives you the choice to activate bone back as well (which is even harder to stop because you'll be in the damage step when doing so). I also won games in which you have the combined creation/cranium burst setup and they prompt themselves into removing the combined which makes it even tougher for them if you have bone back. it also insulates your GY from one of the aformentioned side options which are the bystials.

[@MattOsheaYGO]

You seem to know a ton about the archetype! If the cards get pretty cheap i might buy the deck, but i doubt it

[@brittis_n3xus]

I think the deck will be very budget soon, like until PHNI this deck isn't close to top tier. Also thank you I'll take that compliment to the bank, I actually playtested the deck for a bit and did a thorough analysis on its main flaws. I feel if the text on some of the cards were slightly different, this couldve been a top tier contender for sure @@MattOsheaYGO

[@teamyodaygo]

You can also tech in Dark Hole Dragon since it's a free Special Summon when you use a Memento effect since it's a non targeting pop

[@MattOsheaYGO]

That's awesome! I didn't even think of dark hole dragon!

[@fjorddkcckkc3783]

Eh it’s kinda hard to tell, since rescue ace was Garbo before all the support. I might wanna grab a set of them just as an investment for future support

[@fjorddkcckkc3783]

It’s such a missed opportunity that none of them have good graveyard effects though

[@MattOsheaYGO]

It was super lackluster before, but you could at least see the unfair things the deck could do. Turbulence set 4 for example but i see your point

[@fjorddkcckkc3783]

@@MattOsheaYGO I mean, a 5k appo is kinda busted too, if they get something that lets them get both big guy and trap out extremely easily, then it’ll be really nice

[@teoman_aslan]

@@fjorddkcckkc3783its a 2 card in engine combo. But i see your point. I would say it needs more gas. I would invest in it cause from the past we can learn, that these sets have massive potential😅

[@mynameisari1]

Bro the ghost is coming at in PHNI

[@MattOsheaYGO]

Yup! My bad, jumped the gun on this one 😅

[@jakerasmussen8998]

Hopefully the Memento Extra Deck monster we get will be good.

[@MattOsheaYGO]

I hope so too! Just something that lets the boss monster attack everything while its on the field or that offers interruption

[@dakotastein9499]

im honestly suprised that somehow NONE of these monsters are Zombie type... lore wise the popular theory is that you are using the remains of these old monsters and through necromancy you are breaking them down and reconfiguring thier bones into new monsters. if they do make new support im curious as to what monsters they will be based off of since if we are to follow the formula (save for the boss monster) all of them are: 1. based on a normal monster 2. based on a monster from the early DM era and most of them: 1.are monsters that had unusual cult following/popularity OR were cards that were either refrenced on other cards OR had counderparts (such as memento attic ghost being bassed on wretched ghost of the attic which was a counterpart to koriboh). 2. save fore the level ones,each momento has a different level its also believed that the field spell's old name may have been a refrence to temple of skulls,another old vanilla monster. i think since a lv 7 memento does not yet exist...im willing to bet the next one might be a retrain of serpant night dragon.

[@alexanarchy8858]

Dude I love all the work you put into this video you earned a sub I can’t wait to make a memento deck

[@MattOsheaYGO]

Appreciate the kind words! Its a lot of work, but totally worth while!

[@mcr985ful]

I really wanna make the deck into a combo deck rather than a stun deck. I just feel stun is too boring.

[@MattOsheaYGO]

Thats fair, stun is a little boring, but its pretty tough to pair with other archetypes since you need so many names, when we get extra deck monsters itll be more possible

[@Gachadon97]

Thx for the help, i bought the pack yesterday and was adamant about making this deck. I still figuring out more of the extra deck, but also attic ghost, is it in the tcg or is it still ocg

[@MattOsheaYGO]

Attic ghost comes out in the next set, I jumped the gun

[@colinsickels8013]

The attic ghost isn’t in this set as far as I’m aware

[@MattOsheaYGO]

you're right, i jumped the gun on that one

[@marsplo9618]

is attic ghost even out yet?

[@MattOsheaYGO]

Nope, i jumped the gun there!

[@katzuma7641]

Smh should have kept the name “netherskull”

[@MattOsheaYGO]

Totally! Much better than "Combined Creation"

[@Houharium]

I wait Pitch Dark Dragon and Kiryu forme Dark Blade like Link and Xyz Memento.

[@ayh4968]

how to beat infernoble 🙏

[@MattOsheaYGO]

One day!

[@sqoiche]

MEMENTOTLAN might be overlooked but cards that increase in attack and defense based on the amount of cards in players hand will always be superior 🤓

[@MattOsheaYGO]

OK SLIFER THE SKY DRAGON!!

[@sqoiche]

@@MattOsheaYGOI was thinking of a certain level 2 rock monster 🤓

[@omegaXjammur]

"Mementotlan" sounds terrible. TCG should have just kept the original name.

[@rim4038]

I disagree, it's based of the Aztec mythology , particularly the underworld

[@MattOsheaYGO]

I wish they kept the original name too, but only because i have such a hard time saying Mementotlan

[@neogalactic1195]

Garbage/10 granted I still love the deck, bought it in max rarity

[@MattOsheaYGO]

LOL my favorite comment yet!
