The Archetype That Changed Ritual Summoning [Yu-Gi-Oh! Archetypes Explained: Cyber Angel]

[@heleno6917]

This Archetype is a great topic. From the many censored artworks to being an insane Tier Zero deck in Duel Links to being Alexis/Asuka's deck in Arc-V to changing Ritual Summoning forever, this could easily be argued to be one of the most iconic Archetypes in Yu-Gi-Oh's history.

[@kazumakariama]

One of the mosy game changing for sure, i wouldn't say iconic.

[@I-Yui-I]

First

I really hope any future support gives us a cyber blader retrain and another ritual spell to go along with it that doubles as a fusion spell like magikey mafta, except this would would tribute monsters. We could also do with another name that has a good effect when tributed but for god sake make it less generic than benten. Also gonna take this moment to ramble about how hot ass the support in the duelist pack was because wow all those cards except maybe cyber egg are terrible. Konami seemed under the impression that you get alot of advantage out of tributing but all those cards do is make you cycle through all your copies of benten for some awful battle related effects and a terrible draw spell that basically ends your turn.

[@FAlynn92]

That would be amazing. Before Cyber Angels were released, I spent so much time trying to get Cyber Girls to work, but they have little to no synergy. Modern retrains of all the monsters (like Ishizu's Earth Fairies got) would be amazing if they had a definite playstyle in mind.

[@linksstruepower7443]

No, Cyber Blader was never good. Even when we only had Three monster zones, no one played it. It was however, the biggest pain in the ass when the Alexis events happened and you wanted to farm her drops. That daid, Cyber Angels have been on and off the Ban list. Pretty sure they are at full power now and no one uses them because we have Necroz

[@FAlynn92]

I remember waiting so impatiently back around 2006 for Cyber Angels to be released. I ended up quitting yugioh TWICE before they were finally released and as soon as I saw them, I grabbed a playset of everything. One of my favorite archetypes.

[@arenbuffaloe6578]

So, considering Cyber Blader is a Level 7, how about a "Harmonic Ritual Fusion" type card that requires you to send monsters equal to Level 7 or more to Summon both the Cyber Angel and the Cyber Blader? However it works, it would be a little fitting. (Also a Cyber Blader Fusion and Ritual retrain would be great, especially since Cyber Angels also don't have a Level 7 Ritual...)

[@qorv4973]

Anime Cyber blader was a level 6er since Alexis loved to use Fusion Weapon on it. Id love a level 6 ritual retrain or even just an expansion on new fusion combos for other cyber girl fusions with effects relying on #of enemy monsters. (Cyber tutu+ Etoile cyber, etc)

[@23gameoverlord]

Harpie Lady, Amazoness, and the Cyber Angels are my picks for the most badass female centric archetypes in the game. And while I'm a mega simp for my Harpie Lady's, Cyber Angels are a damn near CLOSE to being their replacement. Though honestly I kind of wish the Cyber Angels got more main deck monsters, all centered around dances and gymnastics, and have support cards that references dance moves or styles. Like I can just imagine it: *you use the main deck cybers with the supports to assault your opponent in non-direct ways, same goes for affecting their fields with tricky card effects. And the monsters are able to swap out each other easily if a certain requirement is met, that way you can get your preferred monsters to use for the Ritual summons.

[@zebastianbaez432]

Sooner or later we have to talk about the archetype of goblin Squad / Force they deserve to love the other archetypes have and they don't I wish honestly that these guys have a story 😢

[@Cino-Cin]

But they are ugly

[@crystalcortexx]

Goblin is out now.

[@nickd6303]

Maybe we'll see a retrain of cyber blader to better fit with the ritual theme.

[@professortrickroom3777]

It's nutty how, unlike the other Alexis cards, the Cyber Angels weren't printed until about a decade after their debut in the anime. I guess Konami R&D was too scared to unleash them into the game at the time. EDIT: TBF they were also printed during the Arc-V era, where Alexis made a re-appearance in the anime.

[@alexisschiffer4830]

In the anime, Idaten’s effect allowed you to recycle any spell in GY. She used Pot of Greed twice in one turn. 2000s era would never give the cards tribute effects.

[@Sta_cotto]

I still can't look at Benten without feverishly dreaming of an errata that finally breaks it free from Drytron.

[@chillsper]

I want this so bad. They deserve their own shine

[@Ragnarok540]

Same but for Heralds, Drytron is interesting ritual support, but they make summoning heralds way too easy, and that's just a mistake.

[@tensai_kodai]

They just need to make Cyber Angels/Cyber Girls actually playable. I want nothing more than a powerful Ritual/Fusion Deck for her!

[@sladevalen]

I love drytron (I don't run heralds) so having benten is really nice. How else am I going to search for vanietys ruler to stop annoying albaz spammers?

[@MidnightRaindrops]

Yeah but then nobody would play them unless they give cyber angels serious support

[@Sh1ranu1]

Sorry mate, but no one is running 2 shitty fusion materials for cyber blader in a 20card speed duel deck

[@dely9999]

In my humble opinion the title of "the archtype that changed ritual summon" is something more apropiated for Drytrons, the Dragstars (who got the reference?) Changed the summon from being the worst to Tier 1 Cyber Angels just made it more viable and consistent is like saying that Deskbot 001 was the one who changed Synchro Summons for ever when if Auroradon don't help him he does nothing basically.

[@IvanSanMe]

Cyber blader is good in Speed duel as there is a skill that lets you fuse her from the deck as long as one fusion material is on your field and it gains 400 atk, making her on par with other Beatsticks that are easily summonable, like Dark Magician. It is also a good target for Waking the dragon

[@MissFortune1000]

Talk about an archetype that needs retrains all the Cyber girls need to do it be compatible with the Cyber angels and make them easier to use and make them great

[@ianr.navahuber2195]

1:43 Might as well cover them now, because I don't see them getting their own video anytime soon 3:34 Alexis' supposedly Ace Monster 5:30 Shouts to the normal monster original version..... Huh..... Only NOW I notice the Kuriboh stats 10:02 Obligatory "Ben 10" shoutout..... Kinda sad Nova didn't mention how, funny enough, it has a "Flame Wingman" like effect 10:09 the one that could be Alexis' real ace monster

[@metalmariomega]

Summon Benten, Tribute Benten, Add Benten. Being Level 6 means it just gets used for Herald of Perfection and as Beatrice material half the time nowadays unfortunately. Bystials both make its Tribute effect more annoying to use after recent rules revisions and make it easier to make Rank 6s after summoning the thing. And yes, you can just Normal Summon them over it to get a search too(just don't Tribute Summon Magnamhut, that HAS to be Special Summoned to get its delayed search effect).

[@monikhadka]

I came here because of the thumbnail

[@MEGASTRIX]

I dont remember cyber blader ever being good in duel links. Cyber angels on the other hand used to be a tier zero in the past.

[@Voltexfinal]

6:04 Amuro, heading out!

[@spicymemes7458]

Casual: Alexis/Asuka Competitive: Benten & Friends

[@adamvalero8605]

As a Speed Duelist I will say Cyber Blader is good and also Cyber Angle is still a tier 1 deck in Speed Duels

[@darrenrobey9670]

Always found the fact that they call cyber odd because none of them are cyber-type they're all fairies

[@some2043]

If you are refering to cyberse-type it is recent compared to the cards However if you refer to the lack of a cyber type then type has a very loose definition we might get it some day

[@goodpeople25]

The cyber angels are angel type that's not odd at all. Now angel type being referred to as fairy in TCG languages (except for Portuguese at one point apparently) does lead to oddness.

[@barbatosmcmurderton4209]

​@goodpeople25 Censorship issues. Its the same reason that the "Undead" type became "Zombie" and "Demon" became "Fiend" they hoped changing it would make it seem more acceptible to American parents so they'd buy it for their kids. Just like how they censor so many different card arts to remove things that they deem to be "Religious" (Crosses, Pentacles, making Ha Des look a little less satan-y), "Suggestive" (any hint of clevage or other skimpy clothing, an overweight human man not wearing a shirt, etc.), Or, an implication of violence (soooo many spell and trap cards, I'm not even kidding).

[@PKProductionzBeatz]

I use Herald of Perfection with CE. BENTEN And Natasha in my Voiceless Voice deck 🤣👍🏻

[@EthanKironus8067]

You actually used a word like malarkey? I'm laughing my head off.

[@stone3706]

I really wish the third cyber style got some love. Cyber Ogre was cool but a lame card overall

[@neogotham2k395]

Alexis is everyone's crush and her Cyber Angels are awesome!

[@MillenniumStudios2395]

I sincerely hope they get another wave of support in the near future.. they deserve it :)

[@ghostrouxinol6169]

They sure need a Pre-Preparation Rites.

[@Haobeanies]

Day 6 of asking for aromage explained

[@zachpottinger1842]

Wondering when he’s gonna do the Photon Archetype?

[@theonewhowatches869]

I think that would fall under a Kite Explained, so that may take a while because he generally does characters for various milestones.

[@ghostfreak777]

LOVE CYBER ANGEL VRASH 🎉🎉🎉

[@kazuichisouda6479]

im laterally playing them in the ritual event in master duel.

[@unscbug12-52]

I know the video is quite old by now, but another GREAT addition for supporting them is Saffira, Queen of Dragons. She can once on field help recycle,draw,or rip from the opponent's hand. Also shes level 6 which is perfect for making her out of benten or Idaten.

[@pedrorosa9893]

I thought it was dryton?

[@arenbuffaloe6578]

Well yes, but apparently no.

[@spyro2002]

Look kid, ever since gishki every notable ritual deck "changed ritual summoning" it kinda comes with the territory

[@saint18ruben]

Deck profile?

if a mobile suit gundam arcehtype were to be made how would they work?

[@theoroderick782]

Izana has that amazoness outfit that is amazing ie not Mais amazoness just warrior like

[@colinsickels8013]

I would love to see a infernoid video like this

[@omnistasis]

My favorite archetype.

[@vivigeass6010]

Genshin shogun arcthype

[@dundee1232]

I am really happy that the GX archetypes are getting some love! Now I just have to wait for cyber dragon. Hopefully that’s the 60 K video!

[@KaitlynFedrick]

I think it's important on this truly special day to give thanks to our saviour, Drytron Alpha Thuban. For without them we would never see the wonder of Benten into Benten into Benten into Vanities Ruler, nor the power of resolving Natasha 4 times per turn into a Borrelsword OTK with 23000 LP

[@ronalddasrich6519]

Was diviner suppose to help cyber angels since it can send herald of arc light and summon the smaller fairy monsters?

[@purewhiteloverbizarrejelly]

Is it weird to say that I’ve been nostalgic for the classic Golden Nova explained bgms

[@theoroderick782]

That be ten joke was amazing😂

[@benjaminseelking9483]

Finally a good Quality Archetype Video about these heavenly Hotties. How long have i been craving that. And to answer, my Fav is Dakini, hands down (all 4 of them). Now here is to Hope that your Nova Magic takes hold and Konami makes some more support for Alexis´s Deck of Choice, maybe some Equips to beef up the lower Level Angels, or some Shrine Maidens that start and/or extend?

[@fabianbeteta5795]

GoldenNovaYugioh you have outdone yourself with this archetype video. Very impressive 👏 👌 👍
