It's Time To Make Some Mischief! [Yu-Gi-Oh! Archetypes Explained: Valkyrie]

[@VamYGO]

Valkyries are so funny because it is either a giant nuke OTK or a bricked hand filled with meh cards

[@pptemplar5840]

Sounds like Ancient Gears

[@reezadote2411]

like kaiba

[@DuskoftheTwilight]

So it's like blue eyes?

[@jamesturner6979]

Faithful to the anime then since Zigfried’s momentum stalled immediately after both Joey and Kaiba survived his OTK strategy.

[@Alejandro333777]

OTK One turn kill

[@calich33sehead]

I love that he took the time to learn how to pronounce the Yang Zing monsters’ names correctly, but not the Valkyries’.

[@C3l3ryMan]

This video series is so well done. I only very casually play yugioh but I love watching these.

[@rex2g4]

It is a casual deck so it fits

[@jamesturner6979]

Zigfried was one of my favourite characters from the original anime and I run a Valkyrie deck that whilst not hyper competitive, occasionally nets me a win whenever I manage to pull of the Ride/Time Goddess combo. 😍

[@ianr.navahuber2195]

0:32 A different type of Starter Pack 7:52 For some reason, I love this card's artwork 12:34 I like the pose of this Vallyrie in this card

[@pokeperson1000]

7:13 fortune chariot profile typo, it talks about Zweite being once per turn instead of Fortune Chariot 13:37 same for Ride of the Valkyries

[@dustinvance243]

I'm just going to ahead and assume luminous spark is a joke pick for a tech card and recommend a field spell that does the same thing, but better. The Seal of Orichalcos gives the same amount of attack for all monsters you control without dropping their defense, can't be destroyed by card effect once per turn, and prevents your opponent from attacking your lowest attack monsters. Yes it destroys your special summoned monsters upon activation, but that can easily be avoided if you simply play seal before special summoning. And while it does lock you out of the extra deck, Valkyries currently don't have any extra deck monsters so it doesn't really matter for them.

[@carolynbossom2297]

Also, I should bring up the card "How did Dai get here?". It can not only summon a monster from the deck, but more importantly, can place a field spell from the deck to the field face up. And since it technically doesn't activate the card to my knowledge, that means that if the seal leaves the field, it can still be activated if you can bring it back to your hand. Mind you, I'm going by what i experienced in edopro, so take my advice with a grain of salt.

[@ionicphoenix5136]

Now hear me out. "Sanctuary in the sky"

[@carolynbossom2297]

@@ionicphoenix5136 I'm listening

[@dustinvance243]

@@ionicphoenix5136 good generic card for fairy decks in general since it gives them some extra survivability, but it doesn't really do anything to further the game plan. They need cards that boost their attack more than anything else so seal of orichalcos is better for them. It might be worth if you wanna splash some agent/hyperion cards, but at that point you're better off playing agent/hyperion.

[@ionicphoenix5136]

It gains access to a lot of other fairy cards other than Valkyries. Plus the agent cards can allow extra deck plays. Or use it with the counter parshath, Yes with the goddess trio on the field counter is impossible but the trio isn't necessary. Honestly I just wanna see some defense for the archetype as soon as the other player gets a turn its going to be hard to survive. And I like the zero damage from battles with sanctuary itself it would enable the battle destruction card and would mean the opponent will have a harder time taking your lp.

[@BrolySayian]

That funny i play Luminous Sparkin my VALKYRIE too but i also play CIRCLE OF ORICHALCOS on Master Duel for fun like i did today in the Dark vs Light and it was fun because i like playing fun decks and it feels so good when you beat someone with a VALKYRIES deck and they are using a try hard deck

[@rosebelmahjoubi1932]

Bruh they really printed a card that lets you king crimson your opponent

[@NeoWocky]

Dark ruler is so funny with Valeries, you can clear their board on BP1 then deal all the damage in BP2

[@576gamerdude]

As a valkyrie player one of the hardest things i came across was army of boss monsters "break my board" negates waiting. I then found myself using Dark ruler no more to use my first battle phase to clear their monsters then my second battle phase to do the damage putting them in a vripple position they 95%of the time they dont come back from.

[@stevenceja4706]

What also sucks is that alot of their support is archetype exclusive and requires you to only run Valkyrie cards in order to use their effects so you can't even pair them with other light/fairy cards very well. Brunhilde (my favorite) is definitely the best of the bunch because she's the most generic and you can use her by herself if need be.

[@josephcourtright8071]

Those goddess cards give me flashbacks from playing against lantern control.

[@PrinceAnthony]

One of my favorite decks that I still use to this day 🔥

[@EthanKironus8067]

YOU'RE BACK!!! I only noticed Ride of the Valkyries playing in the background at 1:10.

[@samwill7259]

Of course Kaiba's always early, he's the exact kind of person who would dangerously cut people off in traffic

[@spicymemes7458]

Ziegfried von Schroder is my favorite DM villain only because he is the only one whose power doesnt come from shadow magic or ancient mystical items. He is just a computer genius and hacker which makes him the most grounded and believable. I also like how the revenge plot isnt against Yugi or his friends, but instead at Kaiba. He just wants to ruin Kaiba Corp, not take over the world. I find that refreshing and a template I wish more yugioh villains followed, but I understand why that might not be so appealing to kids.

[@Treisiess]

I would say more support is needed. Given the way they work, they would benefit greatly from valkyrie themed pendulum monsters. I would also like to see better on theme spells. Also for tech picks, monster reborn and water of life are useful as they can revive sechste or sigrund to grant a bonus summon giving you two valkyries for one card, side note: with water of life you can only activate the effect of the card it revives. I also use world legacy monstrosity in order to summon out sigrund to trigger her effect again allowing two valkyries for the price of one spell card.

[@theWIIISEguy]

I commented about wanting this exact archetype and through what feels like luck and fortune. Valkyrie has a GoldenNova video. 🙏💪🏿

[@TheRevanchrist]

With the Volsung Saga and the Nibelungedlied as my favourite stories, I have tried to build a "good" Valkyrie deck for master duel and edopro. however, without following every card released (and too many to keep track personally) I am reliant on seasoned players like you to help me see the possibilities. Also, I hope for an eventual release of Nibelung's treasure an Nibelung's ring. two anime cards with potential draw power that if made exclusive to the archetype, could be a massive boost considering, from personal experience, Valkyries struggle with high their competitive plays at at that stage, I see players burn through almost half their deck on their opening plays alone.

[@JGang4Life]

I like how the Goddesses are pretty much just Miku, Luka, and Ren 😂

[@anthonythomas305]

Valkyrie was a very unique and beautiful archetype in Yugioh. Zigfried was a cool antagonist in DM who doesn't have a grudge on Yugi or his friends, but Kaiba instead

[@red2794]

2:34 I have actually won a few games with valkries with this card

[@Phanto5692]

Ah! My Goddess! That aside, I've been looking for an all-light-attribute deck and Valkyrie was considered on the short list. I'd rather not be associated with that purple-haired freak but I wouldn't mind giving Valkyrie a try in Master Duel.

[@wizofwonders]

Ironically the three main goddesses in that series appear as continuous spell cards

[@fabianbeteta5795]

Nice use of the music flight of the valkyrie GoldenNovaYugioh.

[@suteki-shi8291]

There it is! Thank you, sir! Brunhilde. 😍

[@MrThewooter]

Nova's VA has gotten so much better! Glad I checked this out again.

[@KogashiwaKai]

yeah i made one of these in MD cause "oh warrior anime girls" and then get wrecked with them. although somehow in recent events like light and dark and the last type theme one I used these to somewhat okay success. just wish I really knew how to field things consistently or have whatever i manage to get on board able to actually kill things

[@kodytiffany5686]

Loges flame + Black Garden... I hope you see the point.

[@lordkarasu2263]

HEY HEY, put some respect in valks, kaiba used the card that LITERALLY MADE THE BAN LIST NEEDED.

[@somegamingstuff2164]

So funny listening to Nova trying to pronounce German words!😂 still, pretty good Video, love your Content❤❤

[@Kmation]

Ahh! My Goddess he’s talking about Valkyries!😏

[@oldxyz7741]

Me thinks to buy a deck Nova-Here you goo

[@jerfuhrer2581]

1. WHYYYYYY did it take them 17 years to print this archetype???? Why do they always do this? 2. All of the mispronunciation of the German wording is funny, but painful. But I like how you still ended up counting down (zeks-tuh, foonf-tuh, fear-tuh, drih-tuh, zvai-tuh, AIRs-tuh meaning "sixth, fifth, fourth, third, second and first valkyries)

[@WillRennar]

I would love to see Aa! Megami-sama alt arts of the Goddess cards.

[@cerezscypher549]

Hey, what about the accidentally archetypal "Element Valkyrie"? Given that Valkyries are choosers of the slain, I'm disappointed that the archetype doesn't involve a lot of summoning monsters from the graveyard. It would be especially on-theme for Valkyries if they could summon any monsters from the graveyard, not restricted to summoning Valkyries, but possibly it could be limited to monsters destroyed by battle or maybe you can only use that effect at the moment a monster is sent to the graveyard. It would clash with the restrictions on these actual cards that some effects are turned off when you have non-"Valkyrie" monsters on the field, so maybe they would have had to change that too if they went in this direction.

[@ahmes004]

Waiting for Cubic eventually XD

[@23gameoverlord]

I forgot that this was an actual deck! Though I never seen anyone play with them in person.

[@creaturetransylvania8943]

Most of the cards have a 0.001 percentage of play,I would know as I play them & have never encountered anyone else playing them.

[@SloopYGO]

lets goooooo one of my fav archetypes mischief of the time goddess is such a silly card

[@אביצאלי-כ8ז]

i would also add soul release

[@nathanvig4401]

Anyone else wish archetypes had theme songs? Also isn't there a deck box with a speaker built into it, so you could play Ride of the Valkyrie when you play it? 👀 Only saw you say it after I put in the comment, but fun fact the yugioh cards (in the anime at least) came out before Hatsui miku

[@illusionist1872]

(Approximately) Erste = Eh-ah-stuh Zweite = Tsvai-tuh Dritte = Duh-hit-tuh Vierte = Fee-ah-tuh Funfte = Feenf-tuh Sechste = Zeks-tuh Their names are German, and translate to “First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth.”

[@pufnbal1744]

I always get this archetype mixed up with the Valhalla one from Yu-Gi-Oh 5ds. I always think they are both a part of the same archetype. Yet they aren't. pretty cool deck though

[@Bezaliel13]

NGL, be nice if more archetypes had Unions.

[@bariannash601]

Ok now where is our record of ragnarok archetype

[@Oracionsonata]

Great video 😁🔥

[@vivigeass6010]

Rip no revolutionary girl Utena references

[@kodytiffany5686]

Give them a few links and Xyz and maybe a few tuners and Synchros. What they lack is consistency with all the bricks the deck has... so some extra deck wreckers would solve all that. Imagine if Chest that summons from deck set off a 1 card U Link and no mon spaces left Mischef play. Searchable because a link one or two it could summon out could search all you need. Maybe a boss that debuffs oppents monsters based off the buffs on your side and protects from stuff. I feel its an arch type that is maybe 3 or 4 cards off from Ishizu level game changes. As you said they fit in their own niche and so the game is not ready for a FTK or OTK build. Maybe a card that allows turn 1 battle phases but is arch type locked with that effect.

[@wanderlustwarrior]

Excellent puns!

[@saylorstackhouse]

I just played the light/dark event in Master Duel (i played valkyries) and the first thing i thought was they need a link monster!

[@natsu330]

Wasn't there a Valkyrie card that makes you draw 2 cards on your draw step?

[@saberfangwolf7]

I wish we could get ziegfried in duel links, but that follows the manga 😢😢😢

[@scary-sounds]

Haven't played it in awhile but i think i did see a cut scene involving how pegasus is dead to certain versions of the og cast on youtube. So wouldn't it mean it's a mix of both anime and manga?

[@KazeMemaryu]

I find Valkyries frustrating to balance. The archetype is inconsistent to the point of half its cards not having "Valkyrie" in the name, the searchers are weird, the tribute monsters are difficult to bring out, and combos strongly rely on heavy setups and topdecks. It's really hard to get them going, and it needs to many pieces to stabilize. But the designs are great, and it's exhilarating to actually pull off a Mischief combo, plus there are so many small engines you can add in to benefit from the turn skip!

[@catriamflockentanz]

I am a tiny bit sad that you didn't go for the joke to partially throw out the usual level-based Main Deck Monster Order and instead count up the smaller Valkyries as their names suggest. Granted, you probably don't even know what I mean by that.

[@Billy-ot8mk]

Valkyrie's one of my favoritte archtypes yeah, they are not great but I like them anyway.

[@TheWcasey]

I feel like they focused this archetype of effects to much without making any cards that can function as good beat sticks.

[@creaturetransylvania8943]

The later added union monsters are supposed to act as tools to make a Valkyrie a beat stick.

[@LabMatt]

You didn't mention my favorite "Valkyrie" card, Valkyrie of the Nordic Ascendant :^)

[@okbutwhy2749]

The thing I hate with the Valkyrie archetype is that most of the names and artwork are not even Norse/Scandinavian, I mean take ride of the Valkyries for example in the artwork it depicts Greek buildings, and then some cards depicts/mentions Pegasus which I’m pretty sure is only in Greek mythology, and then the only names that are Norse (at least from what I know) is Brunhilde, Sigrun, Erda and Dritte. I’m just upset because I am Norse and is really into Norse mythology.

[@IyoMaestro]

That is what happens if an archetype is based on a german opera named "Der Ring des Nibelungen" by Richard Wagner. So all the not Norse names are german and mean: Erste = 1st, Zweite = 2end, Dritte = 3rd, Vierte = 4th, Fünfte = 5th, Sechste = 6th...

[@stevenceja4706]

The goddess cards are also based on the Norns in Norse Mythology aren't they?

[@aureliodeprimus8018]

Ah it is always funny when people speak german with english pronounciations.^^

[@SonicSanctuary]

Wait they don't have any extra deck monsters?! Boooooo

[@hewi2253]

learn german ^^

[@GoofballGorgon]

While I doubt many other archetypes will lean on German, I'll help you with pronunciation anyway. I'll be leaving out several cards due to repetition.
