I find it so absolutely hilarious that the decks play style has starters, a combo line, but then fails to stick the landing by that combo not ending on much.

[@YourKingSkeletor]

It's basically Beetrooper, needimg just an endboard to become insane.

[@PhuckedUpPhilosophy]

Honestly the end board is fine, the main issue is just extreme vulnerability to handtraps. Pick any random monster in the entire combo line to imperm/ash and they end on nothing. You also don’t have enough room to main crossout AND have enough non engine to not auto lose going 2nd. Cranium Burst by itself is a crazy end board piece. Back it up with a snatch steal and pop 2 and most decks are going to struggle.

[@Hella_Animations]

I mean it's a control deck that's trying to be a combo deck

[@BlackBeartic229]

@@PhuckedUpPhilosophy Yeah this is the true reason this deck isn't that good atm. They basically have everything else, just give them WAY more resistance to interruption and we got something decent.

[@MiyaoMeow588]

tbf, i think that's reasonable given that you're usually milling at minimum 4 or 5 named monsters per turn. We don't need this deck to just be Tearlaments

[@fjorddkcckkc3783]

@@MiyaoMeow588 it doesn’t have to be as powerful as tear lol, maybe a quick infect banish, destroy a card on the field if you control a memento, or a banish for a search

[@weedhigh2564]

The Attic ghost has a good grave eff besides I think this deck will get some more support, not necessarily soon but it will because even with the new attic ghost support the archetype does not feel as a whole besides the boss has such weird wording of his effect that implies an extra deck monster for the archetype is missing.

[@Did_No_Wrong]

Considering what trouble the ishizu and Tear cards caused Konami was probably looking to stop graveyard effects for awhile until they balance it.

[@blaze3422160]

Interesting that the combined creation mentions shuffling memento monsters into the extra deck when there currently aren’t any. Here’s hoping this means there will be future support and not just stuff left to rot like Materiactor or the Priminerals

[@eduardobremen7452]

im guessing they're getting more support usually this kind of arquetypes of constructor packs get 2 or 3 rounds of support that make them viable, like exosisters got martha and magnifica in diff sets, rescue-ace was same thing, purrely and mikanko the same, they usually start slow cuz its just the begining set, i hope the get some support for extra deck and something that let them play over a handtrap in a turn

[@riveriglr]

That doesn't guarantee they'll add extra deck memento monsters. Nekroz of clausolas mentions nekroz traps when there aren't any and it's been like 8 years since nekroz format

[@blaze3422160]

[@kshencijemdl2247]

Btw there is a nekroz trap, but it doesn't mention nekroz in its name://

[@DarkdustDragon]

The biggest disappointment of this deck is it doesn't allow you to play your turn backwards and forwards.

[@Chris_Tootoo]

Yooo, Dark Blade was my favourite card growing up. To this day I still have my battleworn Dark Blade the Dragon Knight.

[@LunaLament]

When Memento Attic Ghost comes out in the next set, it fixes up some of the consistency issues of the deck by letting Tatsu do a bit more on its own. It certainly isn't gonna fix the deck completely but its a cool add nonetheless. Really hoping this deck gets a....Link 1 that searches the field spell....(yeah yeah) because it would really really help :)

Honestly I'm more interested in the FL Synchron deck

[@Did_No_Wrong]

Considering that the boss monsters summoning condition literally list you can send mementos back into the extra deck as well Konami just needs to hurry up and make a extra deck monster for the archetype to help this deck.

[@MiyaoMeow588]

im not kidding, bone back seems like a decent side deck pick against a variety of strategies. namely any deck that's running bystials or anything that primarily ends on little knight. if your opponent plays into it, which in some instances they might be forced to do, you get to punish them harder than anyone has ever been punished before

[@angel-memeroftheisles]

Bone back is generally good. Oh? You outed my boss? Oh no! Anyways, here's another one. Enjoy!

[@ricardolima4809]

bone back is terrible. id rather play a second copy of the boss

[@angel-memeroftheisles]

@@ricardolima4809 Thing is, bone back is supposed to be used to get another boss out incase they out the first one. It's meant to do just that, but it doesn't work.

[@aaronmorgan5860]

The main issue this deck has is not having the support to bridge different plays. It's mostly a question of your search targets, not enough extenders, and the deck needs a way to net plus advantage. The field spell can get punished if your opponent has a hand trap for your starter, essentially ending your turn(Case in point in this video 13:20).

[@dakotastein9499]

its nice to see a neat retrain of tri-horned...the fact that this is a runs on a gimmick of old forgottan normal monsters being revived as undead (despite none of them being zombie types) with heavy control and resource manipulating is really neet...and given the abundance of old vanilla cards theres a wide veriety for potential support in the future.... i could see Serpant night dragon getting in on this archtype

Memento has the same issue early lightsworn had. They can dump a lot of cards but those cards don’t really do anything.

[@Dareianrc36]

Love how everyone has this take when it comes to decks like these. Last time someone said " these cards are bulk" from a collector rare set was rescue ace. This archetype is legit 1 or 2 cards away from being busted just like RAce was with "Emergency!"

[@grosspapillon9336]

Totally agree!! I’m just so curious as to what that support will be… bone party is already essentially the decks Emergency. I feel like attic ghost in the next set is getting the deck prepped for a link 2, but I’m not sure exactly what the deck needs… definitely a way to search the field spell, and another monster that can special itself so you can play through an ash/imperm? What do you think?

[@Dareianrc36]

@@grosspapillon9336 A monster to help the strength of the end board. The engine in this is strong already. Just needs something strong to at the end. An archetype Crenscendo like trap, A link that can make the boss untargetable, a floodgate. Something strong to end on.

[@zainiaz07]

You gotta put the tip of your tongue in between your front teeth (like if you are about to bite it) to pronounce the tlan at the end of Mementotlan. And the phonetic accent must be in the 'a' at the end of the word: mementotl(a)n. In the video you pronounced the phonetic accent in the 'o': Mement(o)tlan. But it should be in the 'a' instead, as it comes from the word Mictlán (the Aztec underworld). Not calling you out, I'm explaining this if you want to learn how to pronounce it. It's not a big deal anyways.

Memento's best feature post Phantom Nightmare is how easy it can link climb to feed it's boss monster, right now it has almost no redeeming qualities as all it does is telegraphed, very disruptable and linear. And it's setup, while easy to do, dies and ends it's turn after 1 handtrap on average. A fact the Attic Ghost does not really change.
