If all Wyrms were Dragons Mare Mare would be an Aqua,Swordsoul would be Warriors and Yang Zing would be a clusterfuck. The point is:Konami wouldn't make every Wyrm a Dragon if it were avoidable and the game would be even more fucked up because Tenyis and some random Yang Zings happened to be Dragons

[@bencosta4390]

Missed the thread, but: Fun fact - until the release of the Illusions in DUNE, there was at least one offbrand dragon in EVERY type. Shaddoll Dragon is a Spellcaster. Immortal Dragon is a Zombie. Ken the Warrior Dragon is a Warrior. Double Dragon Lords is a Beast-Warrior. Black Dragon Ninja is a Beast. Rindbrumm the Striking Dragon is a Winged Beast. Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World is a Fiend. Cloudian Storm Dragon is a Fairy. Dragonbite is an Insect. Bayerock Dragon is a Dinosaur. Evil Dragon Ananta is a Reptile. Ravenous Crocodragon Archethys is a Fish. Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier is a Sea Serpent. Solar Flare Dragon is a Pyro. Thunder Dragon is a Thunder. Block Dragon is a Rock. Snapdragon is a Plant. Cyber Dragon is a Machine. PUNK Jam Dragon Drive is a Psychic. The Winged Dragon of Ra is a Divine Beast. Mudragon of the Swamp is a Wyrm. Firewall Dragon is a Cyberse.

[@123roland6]

I don't think I would count Double Dragon Lords for this. That's more of a titel. The chemicritter xyz (no idea why the hell exactly it's a beast warrior) or the pendulum "dragoons of draconia" work perfectly for this though.

[@Zetact_]

The thing about a lot of common themes like "Dragons" or even just "humanoids" that are a "weird" type is that it's thematically more relevant to have them be their other type compared to just being like, "He's a person, he can't be a Rock-type." I mean the game would be really ridiculously limited if every human had to be a Warrior or Spellcaster. Or with this logic, if every single monster that looks like a dragon has to be Dragon-type. Like, "Oh, sorry, Cloudian Storm Dragon, I know that you're part of a Fairy archetype and you aren't an actual dragon but because you look like a dragon I guess you need to be Dragon-type."

[@apollyon1311]

Something along the lines of: Use the pendulum cards layout but remove the scales Naazca Earthbound Immortal [monster name] [Type] Effect [Field spell symbol] Monster effect: You can activate this card as a field spell from your hand. [Rest of the effect] Field Spell effect: You can tribute 2 monsters you control to special summon this card, and if you do, you can activate a "Earthbound" field spell from your hand, GY or Deck.

[@Sasquatch_sightings]

[@snowboundwhale6860]

The idea of using pendulum's monster/ spell hybrid property for the megalith monsters being the ritual spells sounded cool, but then Fire King Island Turtle swept in as the best concept I've heard in months. There's another comment in this comment section suggesting the Earthbound Immortals as field spells that become monsters which I also love, it fits as a rework to their "live or die by the field spell" mechanic and depending on how it'd be done it reminds me of MTG's keyrunes, manarock artifacts that have an activated effect to turn into a creature for the turn. Also the person pointing out that Amrophage should've revolved around this is absolutely right, their core trait in lore is the amorphage is an infectious disease that mutates creatures into dragons, and we already have DNA Surgery & DNA Transplant that change types/ attributes which establishes a theme of genetics relating to a monster's type/ attribute. Basically Amorphage should've been a take on a Dragon Capture Jar strategy where you turn things into dragons then seize control of them/ shut them down with anti dragon effects (kinda like Zombie World + Balerdroch/ Vampires).

Exactly! As a chaos player since day one this has always bothered me. We have a few that have the text line but they should have all just had a second orb in the card. As for type, just all dragon knights should be dragon etc.

[@BrandonSwinney-j2v]

I agree that the chaos monsters being treated as both attributes would be cool, even if they don't get a combined attribute symbol. Chaos monsters, L&D, and skelesaurus were the first monsters I thought of when I saw this video. Another card that works for this is draconic attack, an equip that makes a warrior monster into a dragon type, similar to skelesaurus changing type when gemini summoned.

[@ItsPForPea]

New type fusions in Rush Duel is cool and all BUT: 1. This means the fusions CAN'T benefit from supports of their pre-fused archetypes, unless that support card stated otherwise. (Magical Knights are warrior + spellcaster, but you can't use either warrior support or spellcaster support with it.) 2. They stopped adding fusion types after Sevens finished airing lmao. I think it is a cool idea, but with the first point I stated above, all it does is making the cards worse, so they kinda ditched that early on.

Link/Pendulums that you can scale by summoning them directly into the pendulum zone because a link arrow points to it. Their arrows point left and right and their pendulum effects let you summon other link monsters into the backrow Crystal Beasts that are pendulums and let you pend out your backrow CBs because it's a Yugioh Crime that the monsters that become continuous spells aren't the type of card that can be either monster or continuous spell (I pitch these under every tangentially related yugioh video but they've never been more appropriate lol)

[@pickyphysicsstudent201]

2:04 With regards to Rush Duels, the weird types on some Fusions is not a conjoint type but just a whole new type.

[@Motleydoll123]

Honestly would not be the hardest thing to impliment if you were clever. probably give them a fun name like "World Monster" and summoning condition where you can change them from a field spell to a monster. like lets say you have a monster that is a Sleeping Dragon that has an entire city built upon it (lets call it Slumbering Fortress Dragon Collosa). when you want to summon it, you need to fulfil a condition like sending 3 cards from the field to the graveyard to awaken the Gaia monster, landing a massive summon that removes the monster from the field and instead summons it to a monster zone you control. I would have the gaia monster be pretty strong and resilient to removal, but probably have some form of downside to prevent it being too strong. like maybe a World monster could nuke your board when its first summoned, and cannot attack on the turn its summoned. however... it can block certain effects that might target your back row or other monsters before it is destroyed, or it can redirect attacks aimed at it toward the rest of your board. who knows.

[@DefuaIt]

We kinda got one of them, Rock of the Vanquisher is technically both a monster and a Field spell for the archetype allowing for unique effects and being un-targetable by battle if Vanquish souls are on the field. there is also Simorgh bird of perfection which is counted as both Wind and Dark Attribute, unsure if this is a feature on all the Simorghs however.

The field spell/monster hybrid could actually be a great retrain for the Castle of Dark illusions! Like...why was that card not a FS in the first place!? Imo it should actually come with a whole retrain for PaniK's monsters as well "King of Yamimakai" as the boss monster (this card should have gotten some support by now outside of that one random D/D/D spell card where he is mentioned). You could even use that archetype to go deeper into the hybrid-types. Making the retrains treated as both Illusion and Fiend type monsters or change type on wether Castle is used as a fieldspell or a monster making them "real fiends" when the card itself is a monster or Illusions when it's used as a field spell But tbh, i just want a PaniK retrain/archetype cause his duel was iconic for the early days of the YGO anime

About Dream Mirrors, there's something that Magic did that YGO could have benefitted from. So there are cards that are printed on both sides - yes, I know, but please let me cook - that you can basically flip depending if certain circumstances were met. So in Magic, for werewolves, if no spell was played during a turn, you had to to flip the werewolf from its human form to its werewolf form BUT if the werewolf was in its werewolf form and 2 or more spells were played this turn, it did go back to its human form. Both sides had different stats and effects, that, for werewolves specifically, could be summarized by "werewolf has same effect than human but stronger". There were also cards that were creatures on one side and non-creatures on the other, but since you're already having a panic attack reading me, we won't mix these today. To prevent your opponent from realizing you're going to draw one of these, you used cards that looked like regular cards on their back but had a spreadsheet on their front, and you had to tick which card it represented on said spreadsheet. Applying these to Dream Mirrors, you could have an effect that says "Once per turn, if this card hasn't been flipped this turn, and "Dream Mirror of Joy/Terror" is face up on the field, you can: flip this card. This counts as a Special Summon of the monster on the other side." If an effect like Book of Moon would flip the card face down, just bring back the spreadsheet I guess. Now let's be real, I have not looked into the meta in months so I have NO IDEA WHATSOEVER of what kind of monstrosity Konami could make with this kind of mechanic that would break it and make the game even less playable than it is currently, if used for new cards that aren't Dream Mirrors.

A year ago I made custom cards and created extra deck monsters that were called Vortex Monsters.

Oh... I honestly forgot that cards that let monsters have multiple Attributes/Types at once existed. So I looked up the rulings of Gozen Match right after you brought it up, and... yeah, I was just straight-up wrong. Rivalry of Warlords and Gozen Match do indeed check if the monster has a Type/Attribute respectively that's different from the chosen Type/Attribute. 2:23~2:27 I also want this. And not just this, I want literally every possible Extra Deck hybrid combination (both the Pendulum and non-Pendulum variants), *including Links!!* 3:55~4:00 I'm pretty sure a Trap counterpart to Pendulum would be more than just a color swapped border. It should at least say "Pendulum Trap" on the Type list instead of just "Pendulum". 'Cause here's the thing: colorblindness exists. There can, and probably will, be people who would not be able to tell the difference unless it was stated in text purely because they can't see the colors.

Nah, forget about dual types. Hear me out: give us Legion mechanics like in Cardfight Vanguard. I want a set of monsters that can just occupy the same monster zone. They would work together as one unit and could still be played separately if you aren't able to see both of them, but they get stat boosts and bonus effects for being played together in the same monster zone. XYZs are already aping off of Vanguard to begin with, so i don't think anyone would lose their minds. It'd just be better unions and could probably promote a more unique design space for battle phase decks. The only downside would be that it might clutter the field a bit.

Also, to cook a bit: instead of kill gozen, make a "set limited" list, where you can only have 1 card from a shared pool of 3-5 cards/they count against eachother for the max 1/max 2 limit of deckbuilding and slap the bulk of floodgates in two section.

@@Merilirem “ You are just judging them on looks” I feel like this comes with the territory of figuring out what attribute some thing is Also I feel a monstrous type should be dependent on simply morn then what they can use, Dark magician for example has used light looking Attacks in his spell cards he is on Ace rescue aces Fire type is meant to illustrate the environment they are perpetually in not that they have fire power besides if chaos sorcerer is light and dark it would act as a horrible counterpart to lightray sorcerer his light counterpart unless Konami also make a pure dark version to complete this set

3:36 And because of T.G i now think memento monsters should also be zombies because cannonically ALL OF THEM ARE DEAD! (And chilling in hell, although being illusion monsters also works like creatipn king)

3:55 - thanks, I always wanted to know Yu-Gi-Oh for "how does Banding work?".

[@sobriquetsola5172]

Not exactly related to the video but I appreciate the use of Spectrobes music in the background.

[@Dr.Frogerston]

that thumbnail is an absolute masterpiece

[@micl6025]

I approve of the background music being the Nessa theme from Spectrobes.

[@moonman4659]

I always thought a new type of backrow would be pretty neat. What it would be exactly I'm not sure. One of my ideas was something like a pendulum trap monster like mentioned in the video that you could set in the pendulum zones which could potentially open the door to other kinds of cards (e.g., quick-play pendulum monsters to set, equip effects?, etc.). Or Konami could throw us a real curveball and print Field Traps.

[@dex1157]

This was a great Twitter Thread. I honestly kinda love ones that are people theorycrafting different development ideas. Even if they end up sucking, you can normally find an interesting idea or two in there. The Arcana Force one, for example. That's an interesting concept for a series of retrains for them.

[@jkattack2640]

Magic once literally did a mass type errata where they gave every creature a race and most a class. It also included some rules about creatures with a type in their name automatically gaining that type unless there was an obvious reason not to. Eg. Dragon tamer is not a dragon. This resulted in some fun things like the card skeleton archer finally becoming a skeleton archer

[@babyrath8621]

YOOOOO Is that Spectrobes ost in the background ?

[@turtle_combat]

The field zone monster is a great idea. Better than my pet innovation, aoe spells and traps with arrows on the card. A yugioh Commander of sorts would probably have unique drawbacks for each card based on its power. Destroy an island turtle, everyone sinks, for example. Some might lose you a chunk of lifepoints or chunks of your field or deck, others may be an automatic loss under certain conditions.

[@digiing1992]

The nearest we have to this concept are the Chaos Monster which explicitly state "this card's attribute is also LIGHT/DARK" and nothing else. But even with that, Konami does it half-hearted.

[@rektenx]

7:18 Sound reasoning. 10/10

[@neyrhu]

YO the SPECTROBES OST !

[@ArxGaming67]

The only thing I can think of in considering the Adamancipator discrepancy is they didn't want to specify between a Rock and Spellcaster specific effects so they just called everything in it a rock

[@SilentEcho3486]

3:56 how day one pen players be reading their cards xD

[@jonahbyers6183]

4:34 Shame Joseph said "firefighters" instead of just "firemen", I could have come in with the clutch Fahrenheit 451 joke

[@MaZeW1]

And suddenly I remember way back then a new set was teased (by I think a magazine) that claimed they would introduce dual types in it because they just plain forgot that Beast-Warrior was a thing and misread it.

[@memereview305]

Why has no one mentioned Vaylantz. It’s literally the Water vs Fire Field Spell Pend deck. It also has a random standalone earth guy, where are the others?

[@ScionStorm1]

Still waiting for the missing EARTH Prankids fusion.

[@aetherblackbolt1301]

6:12 great idea, you should a vid in DB where you pretend the Wicked monsters are divine beast type, and then build a deck around them using all the support cards for the actual divine beasts :)) That would be really cool to see versus Dzeef

[@blaze3422160]

I saw the Twitter thread too late, but the Sky Scourge cards seemed like they were moving towards a hybrid direction since they wanted a deck using Dark Fiends or Light Fairies.

[@emmaholbrook2366]

Note all red dragon archfiends count as archfiend monsters

[@straightXjessedge]

I had a dream when I was kid, shortly after Union monsters came out, that Konami *did* make monsters that were also field spells. Im my dream they were called California monsters, which was pretty weird. But here I am, over two decades later, still thinking it was actually a really good idea that my 10-year-old brain came up with

[@Dw7freak]

There are a few multi-attribute cards, like Dark Simorgh and LaDD, but nothing that just says "This card is also always a *** type".

[@ScionStorm1]

The anime versions of Ape Fighter and Ape Mage were also treated as Warrior and Spellcaster in 5Ds.

[@TheLetterJ0]

I have often thought it is weird that monsters have been able to have multiple attributes (though only through effects) ever since Elemental Mistress Doriado was printed in 2005, but there has never been a way for a monster to have multiple types. Except in the anime, as the commenter in the video who brought up TGs mentioned. But none of those effects made it into paper.

[@Doombacon]

when compared to pokemon types or mtg colors, hybrid cards would be related to a deck building restriction rather than just a stat line on cards. when I think of hybrid cards in yugioh I think of cards that are explicitly part of several archetypes at once like the dogmatika albaz cards or the raid raptor phantom knight cards. So they have done some of this, but it's more complicated because while mtg has 5 colors yugiohs color pie includes things like "marincess" and "fluffel"

[@aaronlastname9259]

awesome video and also shoutouts to dire for the spectrobes music

[@Sasquatch_sightings]

@ 7:11 Finally, my post got mentioned and wasn’t dunked on! I’ll be living off this dopamine hit for the next month! 🎉

[@robertproffitt3171]

Damn that rescue ace take is so real. Never crossed my mind.

[@luisyanez6261]

I find dual archetype cards to be the best way for YGO to do this while also adding to the flavor of the archetype. Like Girsu the Orcust Mekk Knight being of both archetypes and having effects that mirror them. Or the Kashtira corrupted Tearlaments Kashtira and Scareclaw Kashtira. Is kinda of a shame that some of the earlier ones (gishki chain or daigusto emerald) that are technically part of two factions in lore didnt get the hybrid treatment

[@veefrog]

Oh shoot, Spectrobes! I was wondering why the music sounded familiar

[@nexus_gsshadow5457]

Wait, Spectrob ost? Idk who put the music in this video but I love you

[@absoul112]

Imagine if Thunder Dragons were both thunder and dragons

[@buddasogudda]

It's strange because I see type and attribute as the natural remedy to the duel type question, being that any monster can have any combination of the two

[@kidomni5283]

Oh cool, biblically accurate MBT. Not sure that was something I was ready to see.

[@StealthNinja4577]

I'd settle for an effect that reads you can treat this monster as a plant and only give it to certain rose dragons

[@WillRennar]

I feel bad for missing this thread, I would've gone into a whole string of posts about Trap Monsters.

[@Omnia0001]

Hybrid Monster & Elemental types? Pretty easy to demonstrate and doesn't take up too much text space. I feel like keyword or rules-text counters would be a helpful design space to support dual-typing without needing as much 'effect text' on cards. eg: "If this was special summoned, put an Aqua and Water counters on this."

[@alextsana9556]

Rescue-ace is based on a tokusatsu series tomica hero:rescue force where they deals with "super disasters" and fight the evil causing them. So the basically fight fire with fire.

[@SkullofKinsune]

The idea of monsters being field spells was actually shown in Yugioh in deulest kingdom

[@jamesnicholls8701]

why dont for things like the dream mirrors you have two sides to the card, and there effect that would usually summon a counterpart from deck would just flip them to fhe ofher side?

[@SymphonisXD]

I think predaplant fusions should be both plant and dragons so that their weird off brand venemy could work with them and raidraptors should also be machines

[@miguelmata6883]

Totally onboard with the Wyrm=Dragon guy, it would be extremely funny when all the wyrm stuff does absolutely nothing in the current format despite the fact that they came up with wyrms cause they deemed the cards would be too broken of they were compatible with the existing dragon support.

[@fryenchill2817]

Mo Ye reveal Lubellion would be insane though

[@stardust9470]

Tenyis would be insane in Dragon Link because they would be literally free dragons on field and Ashuna would represent Romulus/Seal on its own

[@skirch6094]

Hybrid monsters already exist, they're things like Shaddoll Zefracore that belong to two separate archetypes.

[@velphidrow]

Elemental NecROID Shaman

[@shakeweller]

If they made wyrms into dragons, that would mean you could use the Ib combo to get World legacy guard dragon, then literally search Master peace(brotaur, eclipse wyvern etcetc.) and immediatly tribute it turn 1with spell and monster immunity. There are even more way to do that for example cupid pitch combo or small world or thrust etc.
