[@darylmendoza5650]

this is the royal family of zombies... and they create a happy and hilarious scenes.. like "THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE" where the whole family takes a vacation.. but suddenly in the airport, they're been stopped by airport security...

and they have a little skeleton puppy lol I like to think he evolves into Chewbone

[@jaykettavong4109]

Aw man skull king servants takes me back to my younger days playing a Yu-Gi-Oh! Ultimate Masters: World Championship Tournament 2006 where i was introduced to what a beat stick was and i had those feelings flow right back into me when i faced that again in duel links

[@TheWizardMus]

Theres nothing I love more than hearing King of Skull Servants recant tales of the old days

[@johnmichaelbushman]

This is arguably my favorite casual deck. Just dump all your bones into the graveyard then hit for big number. Alternatively, these skelly bois and girls are amazing for synchro and link climbing.

[@dontedoestuff]

I don’t know if I would call it a casual deck, just because it’s simple. It’s pretty strong. I got into plat on Master Duel using only Skull Servants. But I’m also a pretty casual player to begin with

[@drakofox1362]

Chronomaly,D/D/D, Odd-eyes Yosenjus, and finally SUPERHEAVY SAMURAI'S Also I noticed that Bone tussle theme from Undertale

[@dragonmaster613]

Odd-Eyes will be difficult due to overlap with Performapal and Magicians.

[@drakofox1362]

@@dragonmaster613 he could just do what he did with Yumas cards separate them into three groups (that would give him more views to )

[@thegayghost872]

Still waiting on Skull Servant spell and trap cards

[@AkaRedFallen]

Funny enough, Skull Servant is my main deck. Spent YEARS building it up, mostly because I love my Boney Boys. I wonder if my current version would do well in tournies, after all my online duels have me with a good few victories over a fair few meta decks. Welp, hope I can find a locals soon as remote dueling...kinda not great given my internet reception at home.

[@bjarnivalur6330]

Bone Mouse needs its own archetype tbh.

[@spyro2002]

I'd like a not talked over version of wight King's story xD

[@Letso-S-Relaeng]

Oh, I second that.

[@luciferneverchanges5841]

Skull Servant, the accidently super powerful beat stick. I won a few duels with Skull Servants.

[@sirianluca]

My reintroduction deck was a blend of Wights, Eldilich and Vampire cards with Plaguespreader Zombie and Red Eye Zombies. It was a tour de force! Now I’ve incooperated more Vendread in lieu of Wights but they will always be my rookie days reminder! Also I love the idea of the wights being under Eldilich’s rule and Vendread having to work with that evil to free them. LOVE YOUR CONTENT!

[@tracythomas4700]

I appreciate these boneheaded weirdos of a skeleton crew.

[@sharktenko267]

you are forgetting ALLOT theres kuribandit which gets you abunch of cards in your grave theres magical merchant which acts as a slower grass is greener theres charge of the light brigade and and ryko which both mill 3

[@RedEyeKing313X]

Needle Nest normal trap mills 5 cards to grave, Card Trooper can mill up to 3, Needle Worm Flip monster mills 5 for both players

[@yusheitslv100]

Skull Servant, aka Sans if he were a Yu-Gi-Oh card.

[@crimsonbutterfly2282]

Spooky Scary Skeletons are here to OTK~!

[@kingcrowbro2486]

Okay okay okay. Hear me out. Skull Servant Xyz Monster. That you can Xyz Summon by banishing three Servants from the graveyard and stacking it on top of a King.

[@callummilford9346]

i love how you give us your own lore

[@callummilford9346]

Can you please make a speedroid and odd eyes and supreme King dragon explained

[@Starpotion]

One of my favorite decks due to how funny it is; just keep dumping your deck into the GY until you have an unnecessarily powerful beater that you can keep running into your opponent

[@JillLulamoon]

You know there's something very charming about archetypes who's only focus is just "Power up the boss, attack for game." Something nostalgic about it. Skull Servants may not be top tier but I love them regardless. All hail the King of the Skull Servants.

[@walterlopez5054]

I still run Skullys to this day. Also, Dragons Mirror banish any 2 zombies to get out Underworld Dragon Dragonecro.

[@Letso-S-Relaeng]

A D/D/D explained would be great and also, well Spellbook/Prophecy would be great too.

[@jedaye47]

[@pedrorosa3300]

So whe gonna come back to the story?

[@23gameoverlord]

I wanna see more support for this funny little archetype, it definitely has potential to get some good cards, like an equip card or 2 another back-up boss monster to swing for game, or a set of cards for a devastating combo if not stopped.

[@oussamalasfer4860]

Ogdoadic want a clean up mission and skull servant only one will handle it XD

[@willropa4226]

You're not gonna touch on all the other cards that Skull Servant/King appears in? Our boy gets caught up in interdimensional customs because they found Skull Dog Marron being smuggled in his luggage. Man, Skull Servants caught me by surprise when I was running around with my zombie deck, thought Eldlich the Mad Golden Lord and Shiranui Sunsaga would be my top dogs in terms of damage, King of the Skull Servants just said hold my beer.

[@UserShadow7989]

I got to Platinum on Master Duel via weaponized calcium overdose, though struggled there due to the big meta decks shutting them down almost perfectly (skill drain hurts in the Eldlich match-up, has a rough time with too many negates so good luck against Drytrons) and the deck I used being too monster-heavy (lots of your best play starter options are monsters, so hand traps have an easier time stopping my momentum dead in the water, and the number of garnets makes the deck prone to bricking even smoothed down as much as possible). You can do some ridiculous extra deck plays though, Nemeses works very nicely with them for rank 3 XYZ plays (waiting for Ghostrick Shot to get on Master Duel so I can do two card F0 plays), and link climbing and synchro plays are an option too. The biggest thing the archetype could stand to use is spell or extra deck support- a Link 1 that uses any level 1 zombie and protects level 3 or lower zombie effects on the field/graveyard for effect 1, with a 1/turn 'send a level 1 zombie from the Deck to the GY' effect for effect 2- would give them some needed protection against interruptions and turn a good number of your garnets into play starters, while also making good starts with prince or baking in the hand even better. Even so, it's a ridiculously fun deck. Get a solid set of negates on the board to start (a good hand can net you 4-material Apollousa and F0, possibly Borreload Savage Dragon with 3 tokens, and running Nemeses Corridor makes for a stupidly easy Thunder Dragon Colossus on MD where it's not banned) and sometimes just pull out a 10k beater and run over the opponent's attack position boss monster for game when they had you dead to rights.

[@disasterleo8883]

@@GoldenNovaYugioh you've made me more attached to a normal monster achtype than konami, and i used to be blue eyes player

[@jocha0372]

They gotta add some sort of support that treats itself as the other materials for the fusions and gives the fusions effects. It'd be pretty cool.

[@walterlopez5054]

At this point it'd be easier to make retrains of the fusions and fusion material, being them closer to theme synergy, maybe give the deck something else to do with a graveyard full of boney bois. Wight Flame Ghost and Wight Warrior.

[@GreyVictory1510]

The story skits are the beginning are just GOLD!

[@arandompup5234]

A great combo with skull servants Geonator transverser King and your opponent monster so you get damage from your opponent monster (or Geonator if higher) then special summon King back to your side. Works amazing if your opponent doesn't expect it

Ah yes, my favorite archetype of all time. Also, BONE UP!!

[@emilygordbort7300]

Skull Servants is the whole reason I'm regaining interest in YGO tbh I keep trying to enjoy it but all the added rules and conditions are so fucking confusing I can barely keep track and I have absolutely no idea what's happening Skull Servants as an archetype / gimmick / whatever might actually solve that. The game plan is the same thing it's always been: if something is dying, you're winning. The deck's core strategy of "just kill everything and eventually you win" is always a valid one because... there's not a lot out there that can handle the 10k attack stat King can get to on a semi-regular basis, power creep be damned, so you have a lot more freedom to focus on the other bits and pieces of the deck like spells and... whatever type of nonsense is good in the extra deck this month You just can't go wrong with a level 1 monster that can throw 6000 atk haymakers right out of the hand and consistently come back from the graveyard, so as a new/inexperienced player it gives me a lot more freedom to figure out what the fuck the rest of this shit is supposed to be If the big XYZ-tuner-pendulum-thing that's popular this week can be sent to the graveyard, King can fix the problem and I don't have to give a shit what arcane konami code bullshit they used to get 6 monsters out on turn one. If it can't, that's a pretty unusual situation to be in, so it's easier for me to identify what the problem is and how to solve it.

[@thedootlord]

YES
