Can You Beat YuGiOh Forbidden Memories With A Reptile Deck?

[@RedEyesBlackKnight]

Reptiles, the only monster type that doesn't have a field power boost........oh no, this ones gonna hurt isn't it.

[@Nyundaa]

Pyro, Machine and Fairy also don't get a boost and even worse they get weaker with certain field spells (Umi, Umi and Yami)

[@pedrorodrigosilvacaldas7703]

​@@Nyundaa Umi its the most op field spell by itself, buffs and weakens tons of types

[@bigjohnsbreakfastlog5819]

It's been 25 years and Reptiles still have nothing to show. They got these epic boss monsters but no practical reasons to run them.

[@pedrorodrigosilvacaldas7703]

@@bigjohnsbreakfastlog5819 Reptile its probabilly the weakest type in the game, i cant think a good reptile deck, or major reptile cards(except Venominaga but those are bad)

Toon Alligator is a "Toon" card, but it's not a Toon card. So you can search it with Toon Table of Contents, but you can't summon it with Toon Page-Flip.

[@megalowie1324]

Yu-Gi-Oh making absolutely zero sense, as usual

[@TheShinyFeraligatr]

Toon Table of Contents is hilarious because it might be the only card to make Toon an archetype in the game.

[@duncathan_salt]

​@@megalowie1324 it's because "Toon" (in quotes) means a card that has Toon in the name, whereas Toon (no quotes) means a card with the Toon Monster type. toons are very old and if they were designed today there would be no Toon type, only the "Toon" archetype

[@megalowie1324]

@@duncathan_salt I know, it was just a joke. This interaction is similar with Union Carrier, it is an "Union" monster but not an Union monster, so it can't be equipped with a Union monster through the effect of Union Hangar, for example.

[@DragoRidley17]

Fun fact! In Duelist of the Roses (the sort of sequel to FM), there's a Toon field that powers up Toon monsters and weakens everything else. Toon Alligator, Dark Rabbit and Bickuru Box all get boosted on that field, so they're intended to seen as Toon Monsters! Not sure why they didn't just give them the Toon label

[@Jon_Oh]

forgot about that! strange behaviour

[@TheShinyFeraligatr]

A fair few other monsters also got powered up on the field. These "Comic-type" monsters (per the manual), also includes Parrot Dragon, Stuffed Animal, Niwwatori, and HUNGRY BURGER.

2:55 "Snake-Eyes is satisfied with our power level" In the sequel to the episode where you set Egypt on fire, as a "Fire King"? Is that a joke about the Fire King Snake-Eyes meta deck?

I'll take that as a valid explanation! This is just some random crack lore based on the pyro run intro

Honestly, Jon leaving the outtake with the kiddo in was so refreshing, we all hope for more baby-oh appearances in the future

[@kiracaroso]

Reptiles? Oh this is going to be fun. They have kind of been all over the place in the history of the game and they tend to only be good when they have effects, and even then, all we have to do is look at the Venom archetype to show that they can still be trash when they have a win condition and support to work with. Still looking forwards to rock since the early game was full of them and they tended to be alright defenders at worst, and nightmares with the right setup and field presence.

"Why would you want to visit [Australia]" you say? Several reasons: 1. A certain Australian KZbinr keeps talking about this place called Cashies so often that he makes me want to visit. 2. To see if toilets flush counter-clockwise. 3. To play knifey-spoony. 4. To order a coffee and get a beer. 5. To see if a booting really is a form of punishment. 6. To meet the guy who remixes Simpsons quotes into dank music, who also happens to be the guy described in No. 1. Also I'm disappointed. That was Barry White you were facing.

[@Nightflameflyer]

Always a pleasure to watch these. Hear me out. For Christmas this year, krampus gives you a deck to punish you with for.... Reasons that you know why

[@wowmattarellano]

Jon-Oh! I got a random challenge for you: it’s a “locked out challenge. How it works: you have access to every card in the game and as many copies as you’d like until you use the card in gameplay. So you can put Dark Hole in the very first duel at three copies, but the moment you use it once you cannot use it again for the rest of the game. Exceptions : if you throw a card away to filter through the deck, it will not count against you. Setting a spell card face down and never using it will not count against you (but a trap will). Fusing a monster will not lockout the fusion, but it will lockout both materials used. The goal is to see you strategically play with as many different cards as possible .

[@Jon_Oh]

Goi think we'd run out of equips! Maybe a nuzloke mode where we have permadeath

[@homerman76]

I feel like you'd need to have a few more exceptions and modifications to avoid running out of certain cards, especially since a lot of the game plays as a gauntlet of battles, meaning you wouldn't even be able to modify your deck between matches during saying the final 6, for instance. You're on to something interesting, but I think the ruleset you defined would need a few tweaks

[@BaroneLowen]

​@@homerman76 i think the modification can be: It u have three copies but u use One, u now can put two copies in the next duel

[@aprinnyonbreak1290]

Mmm Since equips and field spells are so important, maybe a blanket exception for them. Equips and field spells aren't "expended" when you use them in a deck, but you need to factor the monsters you have available to make a good balance of equips to suit them. And then the final gauntlet would probably only work if those duels didn't eliminate cards, since you can't change in the middle anyways.

Respect the might of the reptilian sea rat! And who knew Toon Alligator would be the least ridiculous looking 3D model? So much trivia, and on such a broad selection of reptiles!

I literally saw the notification of this video and yelled out, "REPTILE RUN LETS GO!!!!"

[@WolfDB]

"Reptiles are one of the more underrepresented monster-types in Forbidden Memories" Pretty sure they're one of the most underrepresented monster types in the actual TCG too. They've only really got like two archetypes, one of which is really bad (Venom) and the other of which just got released this year and is shared with two other types (Ragnaraika, which it shares with Insect and Plant)

[@bigjohnsbreakfastlog5819]

They tried to do something with Reptiles in Rush Duels, however. The Chameleon archetype used by Yuga Goha was nothing special, but the Secret Investigation archetype (which are human ladies with lizard tails that wear masks to hide their true identity) used by Terza Flatwood/Mitsuko Hiramori became meta. So, there's some good news at last.

[@spademagna2672]

Dont forget about Ogdoadic and Alien

[@WolfDB]

@@spademagna2672 Oh shoot, I did...that just proves my point though. The fact that this type is so overlooked that you can forget most of the archetypes it does have

[@homerman76]

There's also the worm archetype, which was probably the closest the Reptile has been to competitive since they paired well with XYZ monsters, and then there were the Reptilians (not great, but they had some jank representation.) At least they had Des Feral Imp and Kagetokage helping them to say they were involved in anything competitive when Rank 4 spam was a thing, still not a great showing, but not horrible.

[@TheShinyFeraligatr]

What about Reptilliane, Worm, and Evoltile? Ragnaraika is a third reptile too.

Nice treat for today, Great Vid as always Jon-Oh. I always hear your birds at some points in your vids, but to hearing your kid is quite wholesome at least to me it is. As for your run, oh.....boy I felt that pain. That your strongest monster is only at 1800 and that you don't have a field spell that can power it, kinda sucks. If anything, at least you don't suffer a debuff with a field spell (like pyros with umi and fairies with yami (definitely scared for you when you do the fairy run since the final 6 has the yami field for the first half)) and that you don't have same type fusions. Great to add the reptiles native to your country dude to add to the trivia. Some runs that I would like you to do now that I have a very good idea of what you can do. 1st: Fiends, specifically so that you can highlight one certain card that has a same type fusion. 2nd: Thunders, so we can highlight the goat of this game Twin-headed Thunder Dragon though I don't know what you will do with it considering how you get it and thunder dragon. 3rd: I know I asked this during your last video on the spellcaster's trivia but I would want dragons here to highlight the 2nd goat, Meteor B. Dragon. If anything pls don't suffer and do a fairy run anytime soon, but if you do well I'm happy with any vid you post about forbidden memories just worried about your sanity.
