HOW Many Decks Have Spawned From Yugi's Anime Deck?!?

[@finaldarkfire]

One fun little headcanon I've had for a while about the in-universe 'card lore' about all the archetypes that spun out of Yugi's deck is that Yugi's monsters were once all part of a classic D&D/JRPG-style adventurer party who went on all these big quests together, representing the arcs of the show. And when the party finally disbanded after their final adventure (ie; when the anime ended), each of the members would go off on their own solo adventures, representing all the archetype development they got: Buster Blader became the Destruction Swordsman and adopted Buster Whelp, Gaia formed his order of knights (my theory that many of the Gaia Knights are actually various members of an ORDER of knights founded by the og Gaia), Summoned Skull returned to the Dark World and became a powerful Archfiend, the Poker Knights formed their own order, etc.

[@janehrahan5116]

and kuriboh continued to be an eldritch abomination.

[@ironmuro]

I would like to suggest Summoned Skull specifically became Archfiend Commander in this scenario. They have the same stats and lightning motif.

[@camarofan2008]

I like this headcannon.

[@GSSAGE7]

So, funny story. You're not too far off. See, there's a series of monsters called the "Skilled Magicians". There's five of them, and they all share an effect. When they have three spell counters, they summon a different monster. The first two were the White and Black magicians. They summon the Buster Blader and the Dark Magician, respectively. Later on, we got Blue, Red, and Brown. They summon Gaia, Kuriboh, and any Archfiend (despite what TGS says, the Summoned Skull DID become an archetype).

[@filipvadas7602]

The original Gaia likely canonically became The Black Luster Soldier, so there's an added layer to that too

[@TheAzureSky1]

1:05 you ask what those cards have in common: Kazuki Takahashi was into table top like DND, so Yugi's deck is really DND themed, at least in the beginning. Even Duelist Kingdom, if you consider tabletop roleplaying, is basically roleplaying so that's why the Castle Of Dark Illusions scene worked. It's stupid to us but not to a table top player trying to figure his way out of a situation.

[@Modie]

This has been true for most of the series. Yes, they seemingly follow the rules more closely in Battle City, but most duels still revolve around one big boss monster being summoned and you having to find a way around their effects. In Battle City, those were mostly God Cards, but also Exodia or Bakura's ouija board deck.

[@Crimson_Dragon01]

The Milennium Exodia deck is really more of Yugi's grandpa's deck I would argue. Celtic Guardian technically has an archetype, but I'm surprised they haven't done more with it.

[@vollied4865]

Why would you when it can top a Japanese regional in modern yugioh 😂 that will never not be absolutely hilarious to me that a dude won it all with a Celtic guardian turbo deck

[@kk-till-infinity7089]

You are correct, specially because there is a blue eyes monster for the archetype.

[@Jade_Bunbun]

There are a ton of elves too, honestly they could just take all the elves with celtic guardian (elf swordsman in japan) and just make them all celtic guard monsters. Mystical Celtic Guard Elf, Dark Celtic Guard Elf, maybe even include stuff like winged dragon celtic guardian of the fortress and beaver celtic guard and feral celtic guard imp or something

[@misterOrca4]

Yeah I always saw him as the Link (Nintendo character) and Mystic Elf, the Zelda, of his Deck. Back when Yugioh was about Fantasy creatures

[@alphamarigi]

Yugi's deck was his grandpa's deck

[@evodolka]

i personally saw his duelist kingdom deck as a sort of odd D&D party, and then when they broke up after the 1st adventure, they ended up forming their own stories themselves this is just how i saw his weird hot pot of monsters personally though it would make sense with him being a king of games, and what not

[@dklounge7082]

You forgot about the Archfiend archetype since Summoned Skull is part of that archetype

[@thebladeace4064]

Summoned skull does have archtype

[@Straven93]

He also mentions Archfiend of gilfer

[@Straven93]

Well for what it's worth. Archfiends are more of Titian's archetype

[@AllMight6]

Summoned skull is a Archfiend card but he didn't inspire the archetype and isn't the backbone of it like DM or BE

[@AeonKnigh432]

Well yes but also no. It's only an archfiend on accident, it did not inspire the archetype

[@scottmacaluso9102]

Little Yugi used both the Magnet Warriors and Gadget in the final duel against the Pharoah. He played the Gadgets at the beginning and then used the Magnet Warriors with the Trap Card to reflect Slifer's effect back at all 3 God cards.

[@JediKnight5641]

Not in the original manga he didn't.

[@scottmacaluso9102]

@JediKnight5641 Ah, ok. Didn't realize the decks were different

[@JediKnight5641]

@@scottmacaluso9102 I should clarify I mean he didn't use the Magnet Warriors. His final deck in the manga had Marshmallon, the Silent duo, Blockman, and Gandora. A lot things like Summoned Skull, Gaia, and many other classics were added in the anime.

[@CarbonMalite]

Chimeras were the surprising one for me. Gazelle was originally part of its own completely unrelated archetype and they basically jumped right past those with the new support. If we see new Toon support, I'm definitely expecting cards based on these new retrains

[@matthewkeeling886]

If Konami ever does another single player videogame the "Phantom Beasts" Gazelle was originally part of would make a great starter deck so they can skip the "level 2 beatdown" phase you always see at the beginning of those. It is just complex enough to be interesting for experienced players but not so complex to be intimidating for new players and does most of what a modern deck does at a basic level, limiting the learning curve needed for new players.

[@the1magageneral323]

They are part of the arch fiend types too

[@leoultimaupgraded9914]

If we get Toon Support, i hope it has cohesion with Relinquished as well would be a great way to tie the decks together, given Relinquished and Thousand Eyes Restrict are Pegasus’s boss monsters

[@CarbonMalite]

@@leoultimaupgraded9914 Personally I want to see more like Toon BLS (& maybe a Toon Relinq eventually) that try to emulate the different summoning methods using main deck monsters. A lot of these Duel Monster-era reimaginings are fusion based so it makes sense to go there imo.

[@Jips907]

The other "Phantom Beasts" right?😅 Rock lizard Cross wing Thunder Pegasus Wild horn Etc

[@PhantoRoyce]

1:08 I always figured yugi’s deck had a “sword and sorcery” type theme to it kinda like DnD. Most of his monsters are wizards,knights,and other mythical stuff you’d find in a DnD game

[@LouX453]

Ah yes, magnets, my favorite mythical stuff

​@@PhantoRoycenot to mention gods and demon type dark monsters..... soldier monsters were also pretty common

[@infinityguy16]

Summon Skull archetype TECHNICALLY exists, but not really

[@ES-dp6tw]

If I recall, a few spin-offs like a fusion form, a ritual monster, an XYZ card, that all basically say 'this is Summoned Skull btw, and if it dies out comes another Summon Skull'. Be cool if Skull got a fusion with Dark Magician/Magician Girl, or some kind of new form forged by the Claw of Hermos.

[@kappakiev9672]

Skull Archfiend should be its official name, since it is part of the archfiend archetype

[@FranciscoRamirez-nb4uu]

Isn't archfiends his deck? He was called Demon or Daemon in the japanese versión and that's how that archtype is called

[@ironmuro]

I mean TECHNICALLY Summoned Skull was the first in the Archfiend archetype. The Chess Archfiends have a retrain of him with Skull Archfiend of Lightning and the Empire Archfiends have the retrain Archfiend Commander.

[@RaineBans]

summoned skull also have a ritual,fusion, synchro and and xyz that float into vanilla summoned skull aside from archfiends

[@TK11223]

Dark Magician, Summoned Skull, Gaia the Fierce Knight, and Buster Blader are all relate to the light and dark chaos magic theme according to their lores. Dark Magician is a dark type that has its light type alteration/predecessor Mahad, Summoned Skull has the fiend magic attribute that can summon lightning, Gaia the Fierce Knight is the pre-evolution of chaos soldier (Black Luster Soldier), Buster Blader has dark element and is the fusion comrade of the aforementioned dark magician as well as the Yin Yang counter relationship to the infamous light dragon (Blue Eyes White Dragon).

[@Nexit1337]

RAGNAROK, litterally being the card that defeated Marik, truly needs a full whole deck archetype

[@kevinbell5674]

That was anime filler. Yugi does actually defeat Marik with Fiend's Sanctuary in the manga.

[@TheJoethud22]

@@kevinbell5674 how does that work?

[@kevinbell5674]

@TheJoethud22 Nah, I was wrong, don't know what I was thinking. Yugi used Magical Dimension to destroy Ra. In the manga, one of its effects is that if you control 2 Spellcasters then you can destroy one monster your opponent controls, and then those 2 Spellcasters are sent to the GY. He used Magical Dimension to allow DM and DMG to destroy Ra. The anime does have Yugi use Magical Dimension, and uses it to tribute Obelisk and Gazelle to summon DM. I guess the anime is still using the manga's effect since that effect doesn't allow you to destroy a monster. So the only reason Ragnarok even exists is because the anime had Yugi use the wrong effect of Magical Dimension, or it was intentional because Magical Dimension wouldn't have been "cinematic" enough of a climax.

[@ES-dp6tw]

One of my favourite nuances to archetypes formed from aspects of the anime is when an otherwise one-off/uncommon interaction forms a new dynamic in the group. For example, Catapult Turtle once gave Gaia the Dragon Champion a helping launch. So when Gaia expanded, gaining new dragons and fusions, they reached out and gave Catapult Turtle its own revamp as the Artillery Turtle to help the deck search and set up combos. Likewise, the three Face Knights consistently got tributed for Slifer, so naturally their archetype got a magic card that helps search and summon Slifer and also a Queen Knight revamp, Arcana Triumph Joker that essentially acts as a second Slifer. Personally, I'd love to see a revamp/expansion on my old favourite Wingweaver, using peace and hope to sway and pacify enemies. What monster would you wish to see get new abilities or pals?

[@rushalias8511]

what's funny is that due to the wording of the card, Thunderspeed Summon I think its called, the face knights can also search and summon ra as well as slifer, including ra's sphere mode, what makes it even better, is that they do it on the turn of the opponent. The archetype also has a spell, trap and monster that can all recur on the end phase meaning you'll always have the 3 cards in hand for 3000 for slifer

[@meganmartin3373]

Hm... That's a tough question. I guess the first thing that comes to mind is that, while I'm very happy with Yubel finally getting expanded into a proper archetype, I can think of one monster in particular that Yubel used in the anime that wasn't remade into a new support card: Regenerating Rose. I kinda wish they could do something to revamp that one, if only to make the set feel more complete. Actually, Card Ejector from that same duel is another good example. I've always been fond of it, but like... Its presence in Jaden's deck has always been baffling. It's got no synergy with his E-Heroes or his Neo-Spacians. It seems... tangentially related to Card Trooper and Card Blocker, two other cards Jaden had used, but it lacks the self-milling effects that the other two had in common. It didn't even accomplish anything of note in its one appearance; Jaden summoned it and tried to use its effect, and Yubel immediately negated and destroyed it with a random trap. I would _love_ to see them come back and do something interesting with this one.

[@weathermangohanssj4]

Well obviously "Use the Celtic Gaudian Yugi." I mean just go whole hog on the Zelda references the archetype writes itself really.

[@tarikkash4282]

Speaking of Zelda, the legendary heroes arc 43-45 did feel like Zelda a little bit! Even Iru (played by Misty's voice actor) the fairy was a direct reference to Navi!

[@michaelmurray8134]

Well, Celtic Guardian fits well with the noble night Archetype especially the Infernabels. They could always combined find a deck based on it with mystical elf.

[@michaelmurray8134]

They could make more more mystical elf card similar to the magician girls. One would special effects that prevent.You're appointed from using card effects or attacking you directly passing over your monster. They can also make upgrades to Celtic guardian, Like Celtic Knight or Celtic Captain. One elf for offense , one elf for defence.

[@retru9642]

In Yugi’s earlier decks there were a few rock types including the giant soldier of stone, it has retrains but a theme of his other rocks with the stone soldier support could tie in nicely to the magnet warrior archetype and generic rock support.

[@NueAstrosirus]

There is kind of a summoned skull deck considering he has like 4-5 more forms of himself and he also counts as an archfiend card as well

[@AceHufflepuff]

I actually really wish we had seen more of YUGI in Yugi's deck. When you think about it, Yugi's deck doesn't really match his personality type, which is kind and shy and emotional. The deck they used throughout Battle City, among other arcs, more so reflected the Pharaoh, rather than Yugi. Or rather, their shared soul. It's why it was so flexible and easily changed around. It isn't until Yugi is truly on his own in the Memory World Arc that he has HIS own deck that reflects HIM. I like the use of the term "flavors" for each of his decks you can mold your own to be around, and honestly...ngl a stall/defensive strat isn't a bad one to rely on. The best offense, is a good defense. Plus some of HIS own monsters are just god damn cool asf and deserve more attention.

[@alanhenrique9280]

This is something i actually was searching and found some that he used before the merging of deck

[@rickyl3819]

In a similar vein, I wish that Konami would make an Arkana Dark Magician deck. Maybe make it so that its magic cards only work on its version of DM (Darkening Magician?) and vanilla DM cards to prevent it from just being included in standard DM decks. Arkana has a line about designing his deck around taking Yugi's DM away from him, so maybe that could be its theme? You get your DM on the field and have to sacrifice it or your other cards to remove cards from your opponent? Maybe give the DM a recursion ability to bring it back from the graveyard if it's sacrificed to use its abilities? Maybe they can special summon themselves at the cost of some lifepoints like a built in Dark Magic Curtain?

[@filipvadas7602]

Didn't the Silent archetype and Gandora get retrains + some support, quite recently? Plus, Yugi's DSOD deck fits him well too. Its basically all about defense and then counterattacking in huge bursts, with some OTK and tech options ,like the Gadgets thrown in there for good measure

[@AceHufflepuff]

​@filipvadas7602 I did really like his DSOD deck. Let me tell you seeing the cards HAVE THE DESCRIPTION of what the cards do in the film took me by complete surprise at first. Then I realized "oh yeah this is post the Manga not the dub"

[@wolfamon95]

I think this is kind of what the Shining Sarcophagus deck was meant to do. Excluding Dark Magician, they are exclusively cards Yugi used without Yami during Season 5. Though, I do wish the archetype was a little larger, since there is more material to pull from there, but that is probably just a me thing.

That's fair but there is already a character that claims the Archfiend archetype so it's a stretch to say it's Yugi's archetype instead of Titian's

[@TheDizzyDungeoneer]

​@@Straven93it's as much a stretch as other decks listed here Red-Eyes Grandpas exodia deck etc. Also he literally listed Summoned Skull as not having an archetype so it's a reasonable correction

[@edwiniseman4]

Even still, he has SS and had REBD, and there are tons of support that blends those two together, so there should be a REBD/Summon Skull deck here too.

[@Pasta_Parade]

yeah but they existed before those two were even archfiends

[@TheDizzyDungeoneer]

@@Pasta_Parade they were archfiends day 1 they just weren't translated properly. Plenty of early cards weren't dubbed properly into their archetypes because archetype synergy and support wasn't really a thing in the earliest days of the game. That doesn't make them any less part of the archetype. If you were to use that logic you could say any card that wasn't made with day 1 archetype support wasn't always a part of their own archetype but that doesn't make sense especially since a lot of them spawn around supporting one or two initial cards and building around them as is the case with the archfiends but the same is true for basically every card showcased in this video. You're argument hinges entirely on a solely Western and uninformed perspective it's entirely moot.

[@saxpro1055]

3:22 Palladium Oracle Mana came out August of 2019. I believe it was with the tin that had Exodia the legendary defender. Yugi also used both of them in a live duel against Kaiba lol

[@shpirit5867]

I feel like the Mushroom Man archtype isn't too far out of the realm of possibility because Yugi, in the OG manga, used Skull Servant in his first duel with Kaiba and now he has his own archtype. Additionally, Mushroom Man was in said first duel too.

[@ryanager8029]

I’d love to see a modernised Summoned Skull deck. There’s individual cards, like Summoned Skull, the Fusion, Synchro, Xyz and Ritual retrains, etc. but I’d love to see such an iconic card from the second ever full anime duel and an early metagame staple get its day in the sun once more.

[@SpinDoctor147]

I think it would have been cool if BLS got other monsters for each extra deck type. It’s really random how there’s a link monster and nothing else. They could be centered around using the level 4 beginning and evening twilight knights. The gimmick could be they each need 1 light and 1 dark to be summoned. The synchro could have the ability to make one of the knights a tuner, similar to the summoning condition of cyber slash harpie. The XYZ would be rank 4 instead of 8, but could be a search or banish from the graveyard to activate the effects of the level 4 knights

[@MrDarksol]

I think it was because of your trivia videos that got me into your content in the first place and the fact that you basically nearly touched on every arc type Yugi used, definitely proves that your content is great. With that said now that you've mentioned that there's a couple of these that you haven't done I think a good restructuring is in order but great job with the video!

[@timroarty505]

My favorite thing about retrains of old archetypes is that they make those cards new, exciting, and fun. Sometimes they're busted, but for the most part they just become a fun but still somewhat playable deck to mess around with.

Imagine a Yugi deck with all those vanilla one off monsters from like Duelist Kingdom that eventually got phased out once Battle City rolled around: Celtic Guardian/Elf Swordsman, Winged Guardian of the Fortress, Beaver Warrior, Feral Imp

[@wolfamon95]

For a new Yugi Deck idea, I think it'd be cool if he got one based directly on Spell Counters and would contain retrains of all of Yugi's/Yami's Spellcasters. This would be based prominently on Breaker the Magical Warrior along with the Silent Magicians, but would also have Mystical Elf, Magician's Valkyria, Odd Vindictive Magician, and possibly Magician of Faith. Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl would also be included, of course. And Maybe even a Sorcerer of Dark Magic retrain to act as an alternate Spell Counter boss monster, so you wouldn't need Endymion.

[@burnum]

The first deck was Solomon Motou's, don't forget. Though, Yugi did do surgery to it right after Duelist Kingdom and right before Battle City. Illusion as repurposed from the old monster type Dream that was in Dark Duel Stories. Make a Rude Kaiser deck, cause he had the card for the first duel in the dub as well.

There’s also the magician girl deck from the movie, and the chaos deck came from BLS envoy of the beginning. And I guess technically the Celtic guardian archetype, if you can really call it that, and the archfiend skull deck from summoned skull

[@vanguardduelist]

I’m really excited for future Shining Sarcophagus cards to come out. Plenty more monsters were used in that duel.

[@Suika_Ibuki_The_Drunk_Oni]

Celtic guardian got into Noble knight support, summoned skull into archfiends and red eyes, marshmallon and gandora are in the silent one, mystical elf betrayed yugi for blue eyes support, Big shield gardna became a family man and has an entire series, archfiend of gilfer is...well, an archfiend, and even mirror force got support in the form of mirror force launcher.

[@christopherbouska6779]

Thank you for making this video. Your videos are always awesome. I've tried to make every single yugi deck. If it wasn't for cost, I would have them. I was most excited when I deck built a deck with dark magician, buster blader, blue-eyes, red-eyes, and felgrand. It is nice to be able to make a unique deck with good synergy that doesn't just stick to 1 archetype or archetypes designed to go together. Reminds me of the days where archetypes weren't so prevalent and everyone had Mashup decks of whatever you had.

[@javislugo6835]

You know I believe it especially if you think about his grandfather owning a card shop and him being the king of games he probably just get support for any of his cards that weren't archetype. I like to believe that each tournament yugi entered he wanted to showcase his new cards

[@OmnicidalClown1992]

I'm guessing that there's gonna be a video or a few more focusing on the cards that Duelist like Kaiba, Pegasus, Joey, and several others that they used and how they become archetypal decks.

[@caseyjarmes]

I mean Summoned Skull has the archfiend archetype. There are also a lot of Gardna cards. And there are a few retrains of gandora

[@PortablePuertoRican]

Summoned Skull's name is originally Archfiend Skull and that did get a spinoff

[@benjaminvalenti9285]

I truly love these videos, they give so much insight on the yugioh tcg. And not the mention, the anime itself with the could blank beat blank series. I am glad to find this channel to learn more of yugioh

[@quicobrujo3951]

9:10 Man, he wasn't kidding... It only took 16 days!!!

[@quicobrujo3951]

12:00 Damn! 43 days after this video came out he did that one too. This guy's hardcore!

[@Backslashed]

Kite has two Kuribohs both to represent Galaxy and Photons which the Photon one is seeing a lot of play because of Tenpai Dragon that is Kuriphoton along with that Detonating Kuriboh is the most recent one

[@andrewshearsby8125]

Played Chimera, and Arcana Knights with Slifer and Dark Magician. I hope Mystic Elf gets a deck with Celtic Guardian next

[@Dragon66898]

I actually have the palladium Mana card (a few actually) came in one of the tins that focused on Yami Yugi.

[@TheBruh560]

We need more magnet warrior cards over the last type of magnet

[@thepanelbiter9915]

I’m not saying I want a reboot of DM, but it would be cool to have a story where characters have multiple decks (like Bastion), and Yugi would play different decks for different situations.

[@mr2oxking]

I like to make yugi decks that use 2-4 of yugi’s archetypes, it’s a nice challenge for myself to find what synergies well together

[@Onepiecefan95]

Summoned Skull does not have an Archtype but it does have a Fusion Synchro XYZ and Effect Monster Counterparts that i think represent Different stages of Evolution for him.

[@DaisyEdwards-md7jl]

As a Celt myself I want a Celtic guardian archetype for sure!

[@TheLordGlenn]

I want to see a Catapult Turtle archetype that retrains it for the modern day to not be just a burn FTK type of card. Focus on turtle shells, retrain Magical Hats into a Shell Game type of card, Catapult gets different effects based on how many monsters you control and want to tribute at one time or what the highest Atk on your board is (Dragon Champion-level of Atk or higher gives piercing to all, etc.), and so on.

[@TheDizzyDungeoneer]

Summoned skull is part of the archfiend deck also worth mentioning a lot of the cards listed at the end don't have full decks but do have support

[@darkessinzero]

Mystical Elf would be kind of cool I imagine a Deck where you get absurd amounts of Life Points and Monster Protections and therefor have to pay a lot of Lifepoints as well Maybe even playing around with the Defens Position as well

[@IAmTh3Doom]

Gazelle's archetype are the Phantom Beast (only 1 trap, but some monsters).

[@ShadowStarkiller]

I always loved the character design of Breaker the Magical Warrior. I'm not sure it would be possible to build an archetype around him (I know he has a handful of related cards but I don't think a full archetype) but I'd love to see them try.

[@sagee4890]

mystical elf could make for a cool archtype, play into her defensive style and make monsters loose attack to do damage back at them. It could be a whole elf kingdom with different elves as the monsters or even doing something like the danger!! cards and base all the monsters on celtic or old medieval "mystical" creatures.

[@harp-692]

man I love your channel! Thank you for your videos!

[@Lucarivyle]

Actually, Summoned Skull became the Archfiend Archetype, Mirror Force also branched off into many different versions of Mirror Force.

[@kakarikokage2514]

I would love a full Celtic Guardian deck.

[@princeami7344]

Looking forward to the video on the Mushroom man archetype

[@sammeyphammey349]

I love this video idea. Sam should do more of these

[@alphamarigi]

Little Yugi used both the Gadgets and the magnet warriors because he had amazing taste. Atem used Chimera and the knights of face

[@DrakeSilver]

of all the cards that are left the Celtic Guardian or Summoned Skull would be the most reasonable and predictable ones. They already have some random supports or new forms so why not make them into a proper deck. Also Gazelle being a "Phantom Beast" essentially means it is part of the Phantom Beast archetype and also technically the Mecha Phantom Beasts as well, just a little fun fact

[@ShiroShouten]

Imagine how wild a Beaver Warrior archetype could be

[@thrim25]

I would like to see a new deck gimmick of Yugi’s using a defense deck strategy. Using retrain versions of Giant Soldier of Stone, Big Shield Gardna, and Mystical Elf into an archetype, and give it Fusions ofc with quick play spells, and traps that can activate from hand (only during battle phase when you control the particular archetype) 🤔 🤷 Or another gimmick deck focusing on pierce damage with using equip spells (that all can switch to another monster on your field only during the battle phase once per turn, and they all say “if sent to the graveyard, you can added it during the next standby phase) with using retrain versions of Beaver Warrior, Silver Fang, Griffore, Feral Imp, Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress #1 & #2 into an archetype and give them fusions as well with the boss being a Knighted Unicorn 🦄🤨 and BOOM “Horn of the Unicorn” archetype 😅

[@Chucky_Martinez]

The ones that come to mind are these: Dark Magician (Palladium Oracle, Legendary Dragon Knights) Magician Girls Magnet Warriors and Electromagnet Warrior King Queen and Jack (Face Cards) Phantom Beasts (Gazelle and Berfomet) Exodia Black Luster Soldier (Blue Eyes, Dragon Master Knight) Gaia the Fierce Knight and Curse of Dragon (Catapult Turtle) Buster Blader

[@animemusicarchive5292]

Special mention, there is also now giant soldier of stone archetype like (sentry soldier of stone) but only a few was released same with celtic guardian having only two (obnoxious celtic guard and celtic guard of noble arms) and summoned skull archetype has some cards too like the synchro version, fusion version, xyz version as well as one included in the archfiend archetypes (coz summoned skull is also considered an archfiend) and also in the sub archfiend that is made up of chess pieces (skull archfiend of lightning), I think you forgot those.

[@MrSlushee22]

Fun fact: The Winged Dragon of Ra also works well with the Knights of Face cards.

[@JustAmiVT]

Palladium Oracle Mana was a 2019 tin card.

[@christopherb501]

In addition to these, there's the myriad inspiration later decks took, i.e. protagonist ace cards and trends and series ballooning around them, that continues to this day.
