MY BIGGEST Yu-Gi-Oh! PET PEEVE!

[@Azrayel488]

Here is how the new magnet support route should go according to my personal opinion : print Zeta the magnet warrior which in greek alphabet comes after Epsilon , then print the combined form of Delta , Epsilon and Zeta . After this make the Electromagnet versions of each new Magnet warrior + their combined form , add their fusion spell & their omni-negate Trap card . In the next sets release their Fusion form / other Fusion combinations .

[@LeosAlloy94]

If you want a really big pet peeve of mine, I think Konami should embrace legacy cards on how they were tossed around in the anime. Like I love Red-Eyes, and I like Joey, but clearly Joey as inspiration isn't working (except the new fullmetal red eyes). Maybe it would be cool if we get Red-Eyez based on Fubki.

[@neofan6466]

they sorta do with amazoness

[@LeosAlloy94]

@@neofan6466 Thats true, I sometimes forget Arc V and Manga do somewhat share between their characters sometimes.

[@vampireguy92]

They need to make a big legacy box full of new support for very old archetypes with each deck getting like 4 cards each

[@RedTheWeeb]

I mean fubuki already had a full wave of red-eyes stuff but I do believe he should get more. I want darkness and wyvern to have retrains. The joey stuff does somewhat work it's just they made baby kinda mid. Had baby floated the same way BMD did we would have BMD, baby, stone as "starters" outside.

[@vampireguy92]

@RedTheWeeb isn't that 1 lil dragon guy a soft OPT and can get u like plus 4 if uninterrupted?

[@vampireguy92]

There are plenty of decks that Konami just forgot about or tossed to the side and didn't glance back at them. I can name at least 5 decks that haven't gotten support in such a long time and it's been more than 2 or 3 yrs and still never gave them new support. My favorite deck of all time is toons and Pegasus definitely deserves to be on the cover of a pack or box and is well liked enough to get those 7-10 new cards

[@turrbul8882]

i only got back into the game a couple years ago cause of master duel. first deck i built was magnet warriors cause they where my favorite as a kid and was excited to see the new cool cards and fusion for them. imagine my dissapointment when i realized the best way to play the deck was to just use adamancapaters to spam them out for link and synchro material to end on a board that would 99% of the time not have any magent warriors by the end. Maybe after they ban appo they will play around with the idea of giving block dragon back and from there advanced the deck identity/cards more.

[@PiantaBroker]

This always reminds me of Team APS's video of returning players. "Where are all the blue-eyes?" "In the grave"

[@HyroDeFlure]

In the anime, Yugi's decks were designed to draw the perfect card at the perfect moment.

[@PiantaBroker]

i just realized they made magnet warriors in rush duel and XYZ in normal ygo almost at the same time i can see the bias, but i think Konami has this design philosophy to match the OG monsters, which is really stupid when Valkyrion is supposed to be a fusion. Because of that, they made another main deck ace. Tho if i had a pet peeve involving this, it would be ABC is the only viable Union deck. Konami doesn't know how to make a brand new Union deck

[@al_2331]

For real. I wish we got a Dark Blade deck that was just him riding different dragons. Or have used the Union subtype for archetypes that equip monsters like Buster Blader and Dragunity Also I love how Rush adapted the magnets

[@grantswallow1256]

Ok but Berserkion being main deck isn’t the biggest issue he has. You can make main deck boss monsters that work well, look at Empen. You just have to give the deck the tools to make that work, and magnet warriors didn’t get that

[@sebastianordonez4966]

I love magnet warriors so much and got so hopeful with adamancipator coming out that maybe one day they would be good, but that day never came...

[@Bezaliel13]

What about in Rush Duels.

[@narfd.8837]

The thing is that Magnet Warriors have huge potential if you just make the perfect cards to either use their bricks to your advantage or by just retraining Valkyrion to a card that is always treated as the OG, but can make you fusion summon by shuffling the materials from your GY, hand, field amd/or banish into the deck. Add to that a spell that mills the vanillas from hand or deck to special 3 of the level 3's from the hand, deck, GY and/or banish and can get back to your hand by putting the 3 vanillas from your GY and/or banish to the bottom of your deck and you would have a solid engine already that creates massive card advantage (the spell alone would create 3 bodies and 2 searches plus potentially an omni negate on top) and a lot of follow-up. And that would be just 2 new cards! If Magnet Warriors should ever get support, they have a solid chance to be the feature of a core set, meaning 10+ new cards. Their foundation is so good, Konami just has to take the opportunity to make them consistently build on that foundation.

[@chipinii2521]

Honestly rush did way better magnetic warriors support than the tcg.

[@duyknguyen]

Konami is far from being good but this is the great direction for the game that they're starting to realize 🎉 Nothing compared to the fun of Legacy supports (relevant supports not jank), sometimes we just want to enjoy Yugioh with friends (Yubel VS Ancient Gear, ABC VS Magnet Warrior and all..) and forget about "what's best". Imagine who would want to get back just for "the meta decks" after taking a break (like 5 years) just to see constant Tier 0 archetypes that no one remembered "Kashtira, Tearlaments, Snake-eyes", which would get forgotten 2 years later by banlist and new waves.. (cough cough Spyral, Zoodiac).

[@cliffkrahenbill5971]

As an Adamancipators and rock fan . I really appreciate we can if we this a thing 😢 Make magnet warriors great again 😅 they never were . I just want good to rock monsters.

[@safeandsound712]

I like the transparency you have to talk negatively about this game we love. It's good to get it off your chest. And it can spark great discussion. I don't mind too much. But I think you have a good point. I understand the frustration. I think Konami should have these anime decks be at least tier 2 for a format or 2 on release. But I personally don't think they really realize how good or bad the decks would be. They thought snake eyes and tear were fine lol. They released ashened completely unplayable. Etc. They just wing. It's not personal or intentional. They just print stuff that they want to sell to us. Maybe if we're critical and vocal enough they'll give future support to try to fix some of their flops. Respect bro. I like your channel. Keep up the good work 👏

[@Trey50Daniel]

Konami clearly plays favorites with the archetypes and what type of support

[@naiko8412]

Konami while making a bunch of support for Yugi/Atem never makes anything even usable for any of his archetypes i love the Facecards archetype yet they are so unplayable in any type of competitive since :(

[@Bezaliel13]

So, is your issue that they did not replace Valkyrion?

[@jaernihiltheus7817]

When it comes to future magnet warrior stuff - there is actually a bit of anime support stuck in limbo, but they work nothing like the originals or the retrains (epsilon is the only one printed iirc). As it's functionally a different deck despite being part of the same archetype (think arc v's fusion and now pendulum amazoness vs GX & DM's main deck control amazoness, or DM red eyes being equipped based for joey reasons while GX red eyes being burn & mill based). With these kinds of archetypes specifically, konami is kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place. Do they give support to each version of the archetype separately like in the case of The Chazz's VWXYZ union engine + boss monster and Kaiba's tribute fodder XYZ engine for Obelisk, OR do they try to combine them into a cohesive strategy like they tried to do with red eyes, archfiend, and galaxy-eyes. I tend to like the way konami has been doing it recently, which is to have decks played differently by different characters function differently - which i suppose started in ernest with the tyler sisters' arc v amazoness being a noticable departure from previous support attempts, but really ramped up lately with the tachyon support and XYZ support. Making it clear that galaxy-eyes tachyon dragon and OG XYZ belong in their own, character-appropriate decks which *can* be combined if you want to, but aren't really meant to be.

[@BG-fy5vd]

Yeah I wonder why Konami decided to keep the new Xyz monsters in the regular card game and the new magnet warrior stuff went to rush duels?

[@RedTheWeeb]

As a red-eyes player. I get this entirely. I do have to say though. Atleast we know konami has the creative ability to FIX decks that seem hopeless. Like did ANYONE expect gate guardian to actually be a playable deck?

[@jaernihiltheus7817]

The problem with red eyes is that there are 2 prominent red eyes duelists in the anime whose decks are VERY different in playstyle. If you pander too hard towards joey red eyes support, then atticus' stuff doesn't really fit, and vice versa. So it has this weird thing where red eyes is functionally two different archetypes doing different things stitched together currently.

[@RedTheWeeb]

@@jaernihiltheus7817 honestly they arent too different. One thing they both did a ton was revival which is why red-eyes has so much reviving stuff. The split really is when you look at atticus playing it as a burn thing/big body with darkness While Joey played an equip focused ideas like dragon nails metalmorph. (Although Atticus also played metal equip stuff) Most support is tied to joey with a few exceptions such as: chick, wyvern, darkness, darkness metal, spirit, inferno fire blast, burn, black stone(as a chick retrain) But fullblack metal fits both so well as it is metal equip which they both played, it's a more joey based card, and it burns like an Atticus.

[@mikesterepic6355]

They need a fusion spell that dumps the bricks from deck to grave but restricts you to rock / earth monsters after activating it. They need a rota, they need a magnet warrior that specials itself when you have a magnet on board, they need more disruption too or at least a magnet with a floodgate effect through a new boss monster that is a contact fusion that enables plays like how abc got the enemy controller fusion. Berserkion is cool but they need options going first since he's great but the ignition effect is stupid, if it was a quickie, that would be viable.

[@autobotstarscream765]

Nah, the Fusion effect they need is one that shuffles the bricks back into the Deck when Fusing them.

[@brycebledsoe3870]

Magnet warriors are the same as phantom knights to me, really good engine with eh boss monsters, the main difference is that you have a ton of options with phantom knights where magnet warriors have a very small pool of good cards they can maybe go into

[@kronkhere9805]

Wouldn’t put it past Konami to make new magnets as shining sarc cards

[@Bllackmage]

btw abc is support for obelisk but the suppoert for slifer is jacksknight

[@KaosIsMyName]

I'm glad people are realizing that archetypes are constantly getting convoluted support that's barely playable despite being strong. They constantly make trash cards (See Dark Magician) that are barely playable along with archetypes that just don't fucking work. But when a deck's gonna be meta? They powercreep the fuck out of it.

[@impidimp9331]

the thing i hate to what they done about the new XYZ Hyper dragon cannon is that they missed the card to be "Treated as XYZ Dragon Cannon" for AtoZ Buster Cannon. Missed the goddamn opportunity

[@autobotstarscream765]

I think they make Kaiba's cards better than Yugi's on purpose to draw a line in their rivalry and say they're not really equals despite being rivals, that Kaiba has better cards because he's rich while Yugi wins with objectively worse cards because the Pharaoh is a better Duelist. That and the card designers probably see Chimera as the option for Yugi fans to face off against ABCVWXYZ Kaiba fans with, as Chimera is pretty solid right now (it can turbo Diabellze!) and that gives each side something to play with aside from Dark Magician vs. Blue-Eyes (Joey fans got Flame Swordsmen to go alongside Red-Eyes). Also, ABCVWXYZ has an edge on Magnet Warriors: none of the main characters used Magnet Warriors in GX, they had one appearance with new cards iirc, while The Chazz himself inherited XYZ and thus it draws from two pools of support that are both fan-favorite kharacters; OjamABC is the most well-known XYZ Deck for a reason, literally having both cards only Chazz used (Ojama) and cards only Kaiba used (ABC) in its very name. So basically, XYZ wins because Chazz, so thanks for coming to my TED Talk and *CHAZZ IT UP!* ✊️

[@waynemcmillian5445]

I think what Konami should do is just make a advanced deck set that is competitive out of the box because the structure decks are not enough for a new player.

[@DarkfireYGO]

I've been saying magnet warriors need to become a link focused strategy. Give em a link 1 that searches their field spell. Maybe even a new fusion with a in archetype fusion spell.

[@amanonaquest451]

It’s crazy that rush duels made magnet warriors an actual playable deck compared to the main game.

[@arrownoir]

Rush duel is different.

[@johnofalltrades8266]

I just wish they got at least a good interruption on Summon on one of their names so the Electromagnet Warriors had a good card to tag into as a like good floor for the deck to have.

[@Liliana_the_ghost_cat]

(First of all your video was very thought provoking and informative and I'm sorry for the long comment but I think that I need to be nuanced here to present my argument strongly enough. You got a whole video to make your case so it's only fair) Honestly. I think that new magnet warrior support would indeed be a highly reasonable addition. However I do actually think it makes sense from a ludo narrative perspective that Kaiba's cards are stronger than Yugi's. Why? Because it's always been this way. Think about it. Their very first boss monsters were Dark Magician and Blue-Eyes White Dragon. Guess which one is the strongest one? Then they both got a iconic chaos monster. Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beggining and Chaos End Dragon. They were both strong but guess which one got banned first? (Black Luster Soldier's chaos form didn't tecnicaly show up in DM but it is a retrain of one of Yugi's monsters and it did show up in GX as part of Yugi's deck so it counts) Then they decided to rig the banlist to try and make Dark Magician and Blue-Eyes competitive in 2016. Guess which one was the only one to actually see competitive success. Why are Yugi's cards always weaker then? Simple, it's an underdog story. From their very first (iconic) match Yugi is cornered completely, Kaiba had 3 Blue-Eyes White Dragons which were almost invincible, so how did he win? With Exodia, which symbolized his friendship. Yugi's cards are supposed to be weaker but Yugi always manages to win anyways either because he outskills, outsmarts or outfriends him. Why does Kaiba have access to all the good cards? Because he's rich, if Kaiba were alive in real life you bet he'd be piloting 1000 dollar Snake-Eyes lists right now. So I actually think that Konami making all of Kaiba's cards stronger than Yugi's makes total sense since if you try to do a match between them irl, the player piloting Yugi's deck would also be an underdog, he'd also need to find some other way of winning by outskilling, outsmarting or outsacking theit opponent. Phenomenal ludo narrative

[@JustNutzProd]

Totally agree! I would say though that Even though blue eyes is better than dark magician, it’s not by much. Point is: it was close. I don’t need magnet warrior support that makes them better than ABC, I just need them to be a competent strategy with a reasonable game plan. Thanks for the comment:]

[@Liliana_the_ghost_cat]

@@JustNutzProd I agree with that also. Magnet Warriors do deserve new support. There's a lot of interesting ways that they could make it work and many of them seem promissing. Thank you for the polite response :3

[@vampireguy92]

Being an underdog story is fine and all but they could've given magnet warriors some new support cards that made the deck more cohesive. E.G make a MW that ss itself and on summon, be a ROTA for all MW cards. Unfortunately they have some bosses that really aren't worth playing and that's a Shane cuz it's a cool deck, it's just not very cohesive.

[@nickd6303]

Magnet warriors should distance itself from the identities from the DM and gx eras and become a co-link focused deck.

[@Liliana_the_ghost_cat]

Good point. That actually seems like a good idea (just please don't let them U-Link)

[@jaernihiltheus7817]

I partially disagree. I think they should distance themselves from DM but actually lean into their GX stuff for once. They don't have to print the plus/minus mechanic, but printing reworks of the GX cards that do stuff/care about having magnet warriors with different names for spamming & control would be a solid way to keep the spirit of the deck... but make it faster & more flexible for extra deck plays.

[@autobotstarscream765]

​@@jaernihiltheus7817Co-Linking is a cute way to replicate the Plus-Minus attraction, but I was actually thinking Pendulums as the Scales would form the Plus and Minus.

its pretty obvious Kaiba favoritism everything Yugi and DM are very mediocre outside of Dragoon,souls and illusion magician like you know the Blue eyes structure deck later is gonna at least be better than the Golden sarc deck

[@autobotstarscream765]

I think they give Kaiba better cards than Yugi on purpose to show they're not a traditional even rivalry, Kaiba buys victory by having the best cards while the Pharaoh wins with objectively worse cards because he's the better Duelist.
