S-Force Explained In 13 Minutes [Yu-Gi-Oh! Archetype Analysis]

U.A. meets Mekk Knights: A Column Story

[@GoldenNovaYugioh]

Yo, you can't just spoil future Dream Theme episodes like that xD

[@majordukem]

This archetype reminds me of Ice Barriers in some way, since the theme is focused on monsters with floodgate effects, but most of their floodgates are very underwhelming. Also, EDOPro seems to rule the Security Columns in a very silly and interesting way which kinda makes sense with the wording "that faces a security force monster": if a monster your opponent controls is in a security column, your opponent can make their monster NOT suffer the debuff from the security column if they put a monster in the Extra Monster Zone above their own monster, which makes the monster they control in the extra monster zone suffer the security debuff while protecting the monster behind it since it is not directly facing a security force you control (but one of your opponent's monsters instead, creating a "meat-shield" type of situation)

[@GoldenNovaYugioh]

That is...very interesting. I can kind of see how that would work, and I trust the EDOPRO programmers more than myself, but...I've gotta do some research. I don't really know if 'facing' is a term that has any precident in the game outside of Security Force.

[@ryantortolano7764]

Ground collapse? Ojama trio?

[@Silverstar_GG]

They might get teleported to different worlds as enforcers of justice. Each is similar to a card from another archtype while the field spell depicts various places or "worlds" they travel to enforce their justice. For example, Gravatino is Gravity controller and orifice has resemblance to MM8 Caspar. Or could just be coincidence idk :)

[@GoldenNovaYugioh]

Oh yeah, I'm totally on board with that! I can't wait to see what other archetypes they rope into Security Force, cause that's gonna be cool!

[@Divineniijigamer]

You did a good job explaining security Force. Because others kept splashing in different cards that did not fit.

[@Rael199327]

So Professor Digamma was experimenting with Driver by using him as a test subject for the PSY-Framegears but he went rogue and escaped with the framegars maybe? Also, kinda cool that the one going against the Time Thieves is the anachronistic cowboy. I'm curious as to the counterparts of the other Security Forces. (If any)

[@GoldenNovaYugioh]

Yeah, considering their lore card os called 'Specimen', I think you're in the right track. I have a feeling each member of Security Force is tied to a different theme, but I can't tie down the aesthetics. I have a FEELING Rappa is connected to Masquerena, and someone brought up that Gravitino kind of looks like a Quantum Layer? Hopefully more confirmations come in Lightning Overdrive.

Glad you liked! Good luck locking down your friend!

[@carpedm9846]

Also important thing to note, gravitino banishes monsters when they leave the field. Meaning anything that would bonuce cards or shuffle them into deck would end up banishing them. Hard counter to UAs I suppose.

[@pedrorosa3300]

Ok, just spelling the beans, this is the most random arquetpe that I ever seen. It was mention in the Psy-fram series, but I think nobody remembers that. And it mecânica..... I didn’t think was that cool.

[@GoldenNovaYugioh]

There is a lot going for it, that's for sure. Personally, I love the mechanic, but I do feel like it needs to be fleshed out more before it's effective.

[@ffjj3964]

In Master Duels, it reveal they’re a Multiversial security force. Pretty name.

[@atimelyjest9551]

Now that the Security Force have gotten Link prevention, protection from targeting, and the potential for a full board bounce, I wonder what the new diagnosis for them are. Personally I think Edge Razor, Dog Tag and Chase have done a lot for the deck already, Dog Tag even capable of creating Security Columns on your opponents turn, and Edge Razor getting 2 Security Force Monsters for the price of one. The real star being Chase in my opinion. It can replace the banish for Orifice or Rappa Chiyomaru by banishing itself from grave and can bounce all cards in Security Columns

[@GoldenNovaYugioh]

Completely agree! All the new support was a total banger, I really think this deck has legs!

[@atimelyjest9551]

@@GoldenNovaYugioh I was super excited for them when they got their World Premiere, and I think its a bit of a shame that they've been so overshadowed by the War Rocks.

Funny how the POLICE archetype is one of the most diverse, so much so it can play under TCBOO.

[@AuraKnight-kn1ux]

This is a decent archetype the ability to suppress you’re opponents monsters advances by simply being in the same column as a Security force monster is pretty impressive the only problems I can c is this 1 like you said now way for an early start & no big game finishers apart from Justify & I love that suggestion you made on adding BLS in there I’m a huge fan of BLS so I would no problems splashing him in 😉. Kind Regards AuraKnight P.S Personally I feel Konami needs to more monsters Spells & traps to this deck & more link monsters with arrows pointing to the opponents side of the field cause that would be an interesting twist plus it goes with the Security forces theme & Justyfi won’t feel Lonely 😄

[@MizuAstrum91]

I thought the "S" stand for "Smash", as S-FDorce is an amalgmation of other archtypes in the same plane of Space-Time

[@adamsherwani3971]

I'd love to see a trickstar video or updates for decks that get support after you upload the video on them.

[@GoldenNovaYugioh]

Trickstar would make for a great video, I'll have to keep them in mind! And if it helps, I already have a plan for updates! I liked the format of my "2020 Round Up Explained", so that'll be my yearly update about new cards for archetypes I've already Explained!

[@TokenCast]

So some of these cards show up in other archtypes, why not mention there maybe a connection. Isn't Little Knight also a ninja card related to rappa?

[@_12k70]

Man, such cool designs, I love the attribute combinations, tbh, I think a nice way to support this deck would be if konami released more Extra Deck monsters soo we could have a way to dump all those monsters into some bigger ones. Also, it's just me or is "Justify" such an evil name, guy's build like a wall of bricks and has a useful effect...but the atk feels soo low...

[@GoldenNovaYugioh]

No, I agree with Justify being pretty evil. They are a cop, after all. But yeah, more extra deck monsters would be keen. It'd have to be a link monsters, since Justify doesn't allow for anything less than 3 materials, but a Link 1 that did something on summon would be neat.

[@_12k70]

@@andresmarrero8666 Almost feels like they're this group of sickos that only joined the S-Force to "Justify" their terrible actions Or at least some of them, I feel like the chaos attributes may serve to signal which are "actually good cops" and which are "evil corrupt" ones

[@seekertosecrets]

12:06 This would be good as part of a lockdown deck

[@GoldenNovaYugioh]

Seems about right! I feel it handles the dual job of removing your opponent's threats OR any of your floodgates that are getting in the way. OR BOTH!

[@raulbastidas853]

So lore wise these guys are what Time thieves are up against... so what i'm hearing is new support? (Double Barrel doesn't count). Also this could explain why TT and Psy-frames work so well with each other maybe they join forces? Konami could frankenstein the two decks like they did with raidaptors and Phantom knights.

[@GoldenNovaYugioh]

That would be utterly outrageous, and I'm here for it xD

[@gibgobgalaga300]

[@samuelcalderon5525]

Just wondering what your thoughts are on the new support from LIOV? I just got the deck and I think the new support is a... FORCE to be reckoned with! ;D

[@GoldenNovaYugioh]

Every single one is absolute fire! Dog Tag means you can slap a Security Column on your opponent out of nowhere, and actually stops negations monsters (Dragoon, Borreload Savage, etc.) in ways they can't interact with. Edge Laser helps mobilize the higher level ones AND gets more material on board for Justify. Chase is a multi-bounce that can make Rappa's effect free. It's all SO GOOD! Also, good pun xD

[@jameshewitt4706]

Don't the Magical Musketeers also use column-based effects? So might they possibly work with the Security Force without creating any safe zones?

[@GoldenNovaYugioh]

They do! However, I think MM work on a different axis that doesn't quite line up with SF. MM care about S/Ts being lined up with them, while SF only work on monsters, so they would technically still make blind spots for each other. At least, that's how it goes on paper. You COULD theoretically make a deck that uses both, using one yo threaten zones the other doesn't to make a kind of 'lesser of two evils' situation? I would certainly like to see the brew that can pull it off!

[@blakemaddox2328]

Weather Painters do too, I love them

[@GoldenNovaYugioh]

Agreed, those cards are delightful!

[@jameshewitt4706]

Y'know, I can't believe I only now thought of this: Ojamas. Yes, any extra monsters create safe zones from your Security Force cards. But Ojamas also have tricks to take said safe zones away.

[@GoldenNovaYugioh]

That's a fair assessment. But I think if you do it with Ojamas, it's entrapment, very sticky legal situation.

[@FelipeWalker2]

What is this V-Link that you referred to in the video?

[@GoldenNovaYugioh]

A V-Link is a theoretical Extra Link that could be established using only three monsters, instead of the U-Link that needs 5. It would require a monster with at least one downward diagonal, then one with two upward diagonals, then a third with the opposite downward diagonal as the first. Unfortunately, Konami has put a restriction on any monster with two upward diagonal arrow (you can also find it Zeroboros) so it is currently impossible.

[@FelipeWalker2]

[@okami_kamkam]

Just had a stupid thought. If we put Justify in the centre column, Would that stop them opponent from wanting summoning from the Extra Deck?

[@GoldenNovaYugioh]

It might, IF they don't have a way to get rid of Justify after that. And if you want to negate the effect of that monster while it's in the EMZ, that would involve moving it into the MMZs, taking them out of range for the attack banish. It IS something to keep in mind, though, weird stuff like that can come in handy.

[@okami_kamkam]

@@GoldenNovaYugioh ok. I am going to honest with you. I have no clue what half of that meant.

[@GoldenNovaYugioh]

Ah, sorry. So, like, if your opponent summons a monster in the Extra Monster Zone, shortened to EMZ, and it can't attack over Justify, then the attack effect is great removal. But let's say they summon something like a Knightmare Cerberus, targetting the Justify. Well, you COULD save the Justify by using it's effect to negate Knightmare Cerberus, but part of that effect is moving the targeted monster to the Main Monster Zone, or MMZ. Thus, Justify would only threaten the usage of monsters being summoned to the EMZ if they can't inherently deal with Justify. Hope that cleared it up!

I love the design and I use it on Master Duel. But, it's trash.... I love the concept but their play isn't suitable for their name. They are Security Forces, their job is *catching* bad people. But in every turn, they are all very passive, the only one can catch bad people is Dog Tag and it's not enough. The only good starting hand are Chiyomaru and Razor, but if you don't get them or Chiyo interrupted, you cannot do anything next. . I hope KONAMI will give more active support for this deck, because it has a nice concept as an anti-META control deck. Like other control decks like Raye or Painter, they all can interrupt opponents play in their turn. But if you play with this deck, you can only pray that your opponent cannot read.
