The ULTIMATE Infernoble Knight COMBO GUIDE FOR MASTER DUEL!

[@HexLex]

Hey everyone! Just wanted to clear up real quick that while I did briefly mention using notes and research in this video, I should note that some of the specific combo lines found here came from the Infernoble write-up on Master Duel Meta, which I'll link below. When it comes to the combo guides for meta decks, I always reference multiple videos and/or write-ups in my research to make sure I show the most relevant lines. It's never my intention to try and claim credit for any of the combos I demonstrate, as I very rarely come up with them myself LOL! Anyway huge shout out to Jeremy over at MDM for the following write-up, which greatly helped in my research: www.masterduelmeta.com/articles/guides/infernoble-knight-jeremy-valdez#diabellstar-combo

[@Kintaku]

I’ve always assumed that many of your videos are you sharing existing knowledge unless you specifically say you came up with something. But I admire that stepped up and pinned this! Great video as usual!

[@jacebase]

10:30 you can also press 'card info' to read it easier. Also cool combos

[@MarioLopez-xs3vc]

The problem with the Isolde line is that everyone knows to negate the second effect, so you pretty much have to have open one of the various defensive cards (Called by for monsters, Forbidden Lance for Spell/Traps, Eagle Booster for both) to ensure it goes through. But Angelica is also a pretty clear choke point so sometimes you have to cover that too and options for that are more limited(especially if you had to go through the Isolde line first). So basically, if you can set up Apollousa with what you open(which will likely be prioritized over Angelica if made first), you should do an Isolde line. Otherwise it might be safer to open with Angelica to ensure access to Museum and Emperor Charles. And ALWAYS bait with the Wanted engine first to lure out disruptions if you open that, it'll hide what your deck is doing unless you have to send an equip or higher level Fire Warrior. If you play Engage for Eagle Booster/Hornet Drones(lvl 1 Warrior token)/Hercules Base(searchable fodder equip spell) you DO have to use those cards BEFORE putting other monsters on the board, so use those options AFTER Wanted but BEFORE Diabellestar.

[@spleenya]

It's worth mentioning immortal gearfrieds battle phase effect where when it declares an attack it can equip any opponents monster (including one its not currently attacking) to itself. This gives the deck non-targeting non-destruction removal that doesn't put the card into the grave.

[@-Ncrypt]

THANK YOU. I’ve been able to learn this archetype because of you. I’m new to competitive Yugioh and this is the first combo deck I’ve tried to learn. I couldn’t understand any other “guide” I watched, I felt like they were strictly for advanced players, but yours is clearly explained in a way that a fairly new player can understand what’s happening. You make it make sense. Thanks, good work

[@user-mn7gv8mm3u]

Not sure if you mentioned this when describing the end board on the first cline but the link Charles is a soft once per turn effect. So you can use its effect twice in one turn for each on the field

[@RobBomford]

Yeah he said it was only 1 S/T negate not one per Charles for a total of 2, good catch

[@mickconnor88]

I just Pulled a Royal Charles when this video notification came. It's destiny then. I have to build an Infernoble Knight deck.

[@semisolaire5866]

It's super fun but it might be more complicated that snake eye sometimes

[@ValeValentinVlad]

In the Diabellstar + Museum Combo, you should have sent Living Fossil instead of durendal. It is always a good idea to leave the second durendal in deck for museum.

[@greenale6145]

Best Infernoble Knights guide i've ever seen so far, thank you so much! Everything looks clear now.

[@Ragnellrok]

This helped me get into master rank, so thanks a bunch

[@Angels-Haven]

don't forget to give credits to literally everyone who has ever used these combos or that's stealing! great guide

[@caxe7]

Is there any notes on how to combo with dempsy and gearblade? Every deck now has those but every guide has dempsy and gearblade and they don't seem to function 100% 1 for 1

[@iamj5551]

Btw, you can click card info to see link charles original effect, instead of reading the card, if you find it hard to read that way

[@ryoujiarisato7308]

i've recommended this video to everyone that i've seen wanting to learn infernoble, great explanations of the mechanics and combo lines, just reading them on the website often isn't enough for me

[@alisonarizapa343]

Just a question the choke point is the Isolde sending multiple equip spells from the grave right what if they imperm that effect?

[@CuddleCuttlefish]

32:00 Considering in this instance you opened "Heritage of the chalice" (which tbf, is pretty likely with running 3 copies and all), there might have been a line to get the two Charles onto the field after all. I imagine if you use it to search out Magius early, and manage to discard that off Oliver to shuffle back an equip spell to search off the second field spell. You'd be able to continue normally. There might even have been a way to shuffle the Almace itself back, by discarding it off Diabellstar. I can't describe the line exactly myself, because I'm not comfortable enough with the deck yet. But I can't help but feel that there most likely was a line there.

[@raystrife234]

Oh great. First we have our main enemy as yugioh players, "Reading" and when we finally get over our enemy, we got our second enemy in line which is "Reading the words on the actual card by squinting your eyes"

[@zakariaelhimer1325]

Finally !! Was waiting for this

[@ThinhNguyenKhang]

Great personaility. Great video as well. Thank you for your contribution.

[@RobBomford]

Great video man, seeing all the different lines with interruption etc is so helpful. Also just a heads up, Ogier is pronounced OH-JUH, keep up the good vids!

[@JeremyValdezYGO]

Man these combos are so cool aha, where’d you find these lines they’re crazy 😃

[@HexLex]

The Master Duel Meta write ups for more specific lines and KZbin combo guides for some of the more generic ones. I usually end up looking at both visual and written guides when doing research for these videos.

[@HexLex]

Ah, I see now that you're the one responsible for the MDM write up! Thank you again for your hard work!

[@edcatallanpoe2152]

Tu nombre suena tan a que hablas español jajaha

[@toddthorpe1]

Thanks for this man.. so thorough.. one question though.. would love to see the utilisation of Barone.. if you get chance

[@SkYMaKi91]

After i spent a lot of time playing and researching this deck. i would say that this deck doesn't need "Maxx C" in it since we don't want accident pulled of equip for "Isolde" 2nd effect, and try to less the number of equip spells since it will be bad for opening hand be it 1st/2nd turn. Only one museum will make it playable, because we only use it mainly for 2nd Charles one is alrdy good enuf if we cant full combo. This deck means for OTK a long battle will just turned it bad. If we get rid of Maxx C & 2 Copy museum also Living Fossil we have a lot of interrupt to play. The only bad side about this deck is Full equip Charles which negate everything can be targeted by Lava Golem effect.

[@iceicebabyil]

Love the video and your explanations thank you ❤ has helped me pilot the deck a bit

[@agedmilk1]

Ty sir I know it took a long time watch it all it helped I liked and sub for future guide

[@marineking09]

This is fantastic. I just started using this deck and MANNN did I make mistakes. Especially with Link Charles 😂

[@somakun1806]

this deck is very confusing but your video helped alot

[@wiiman218]

Great video, would definitely want to see you run this decklist in ranked

[@semisolaire5866]

Instead of red layer im on jokers knight to return either of my light warriors to the extra deck

[@lstheprodigy7761]

If the promean princess targets angelica while she is in the graveyard and angelica activates her effect does the princess still get summoned ?

[@joenitrate]

I tried this and got a time out loss because the first turn takes forever 😞

[@gravethestampede3454]

You can play Photon Thrasher over Red Layer. It's not a fire though so that might matter but it still helps make Isolde

[@lukasbaum1493]

i have to say that its iritating to have such a rant in a well structured combo guide

[@Rofy_TV]

I want to play this deck, but I don't want to use more than 40 cards. Is it even possible? Any lists?

[@MarioLopez-xs3vc]

You'll probably have to sacrifice a few engines but it MIGHT be possible if you're willing to settle for a lower ceiling. You mainly have to keep in mind the deck's wincon is getting Isolde and/or Angelica to resolve(prioritizing Angelica if your hand doesn't have a clear Charles line already) and preventing Maxx "C" from coming down at ALL COSTS since the fastest line to a Synchro Charles without minusing yourself(setting up both the Museum and the quick play Roland Synchro equip) takes about 4 summons, and Isolde adds an extra 3 to the process. If you want to combine Psy-Framelord Omega with Aqua Dolphin and/or Trishula for the classic "hand rip" style that practically auto-wins going first if it resolves, a Gamma package helps a lot with that while also potentially stuffing Maxx "C" if your first special summon can be chained to. To that end though, the only non-engine you have space for if you want to minmax card count directly supports the FIRST 2 goals(Charles Control doesn't NEED the hand rips, they're just a nice extra). The Space Connector package can lead to dead turns if you don't open another way to put a Warrior on the field before or after if it gets interrupted, or if you open Aqua Dolphin with it, so those can be cut if you want. Any other card in the deck can be cut down to a 1 of except maybe Durendal since those are extra RotAs, so having more makes it easier to get to anything else you had to cut down. Renaud is your best extender and Ogier your best level 4 non-tuner, so having those at 2-3 is also a good idea. Playing "Isoldeless" or "TCG style" means you don't need to force yourself to have tons of extra equips in the deck to dump 4 for that, but then you want to max out on Ogier + Renaud and potentially play extras of Oliver and Ricardetto(which can shift levels or convert things to tuners) to ensure you can Synchro 5 for Angelica so there's going to be a trade-off and some Maths involved. It's gonna involve me crafting a few things so I don't have everything I need for that just yet myself.

[@Angels-Haven]

oh yeah it's 100% possible you just have to remove some of the equips and a copy of the field spell

[@edwardirwin3478]

Cut the Sinful spoils engine

[@TheBluntsmith69]

40:07 if you like it then you shoulda put Angelica’s Angelic Ring on it

[@suavetheman992]

If you click card info you can read the link effect 😂

[@fallenrynchan7077]

We need a combo line to play through maxx c without drawing the out (only from engine)

[@theguy_lpgimpact71]

just go into bagooska and pray. sadly this gives them 3-4 draws and isnt always possible

[@iphonz1137]

You took the exact combo lines, literally the exact ones, from the Master Duel Meta Infernoble guide with 0 credit which I helped work on. Edit: Thank you Hex Lex for responding! Credit goes to Jeremy Valdez for the guide.

[@safeandsound712]

To be fair, they never claimed to be the creator of the combos. And if you've played the deck before these are pretty common knowledge lines. Nothing too crazy. Although IF the master Duel meta website was used as a source, which is very likely but not certain, it should have at least been cited as a source in the description or during the video. I do agree with giving credit where it's due. But it's possible that both are correlated without being cause and effect driven. All that said thank you for your work on the combo guide. We all owe you some gratitude for simplifying the lines to an easily digestible format. Good work.

[@iphonz1137]

[@HexLex]

Yes, your write up was one of the resources I used, particularly to find the Anti-Nib line and Diabellstar combos. I also used various TCG video combo guides to help as well. I didn't try to claim credit for the combo in the video nor was it my intention to make it seem like I did. In fact, I mention referring to notes and research multiple times in the video. My apologies for any misunderstandings, and thank you for your hard work!

What are some favorable matchups for infernoble?

[@jacebase]

In my experience the deck does well against Adventure Engine. When they equip dracoback, destroy a card with Charles.

[@iphonz1137]

We have a decent matchup into Snake Eye so long as you play Red Layer, we have a decent matchup into Branded, we have a decent matchup into Lab and Vanquish Soul, we do well into things that arent most FTK combo boards.

Also seperate from my other combo addressing a credit issue, you also got Link Charles wrong, you can use both effects. Connector ends on 6 interactions, not 5.

[@edwardirwin3478]

Is there a way to play 12 hand traps? I'm basically trying to copy PAK's tcg list but it seems like Divine Sword is really needed for this deck to be top tier.

[@eawavy2316]

Wooh let’s go

[@TCakes]

I tried this deck for a while in the tcg on a simulator when it first got the new support and liked it, but in md the deck is ass imo. Loses to maxx c, plays shit going second with how easy to disrupt it is, and not enough room for a decent amount of hand traps. Even if your opponents let you draw almost your entire deck from a resolved maxx c going second all you've got is an ash, a droll, and no board breakers whatsoever for the next turn. If they destroy your first summon there's not enough extension to do a whole lot

[@fallenrynchan7077]

Thats also my problem 😂 we need a way to play under maxx c. I'm willing to make a weaker board in order to play under maxx c and maaaaybe giving them 2 draw at max

All they're saying is that you need the Bamboo Sword to make certain combos because you can't do certain lines without an Equip Spell. Since Phoenix Blade is banned in MD and Gearblade isn't out, Bamboo Sword is the only way to ensure you have plays.
