Top 10 Archetypes That Are Unlikely To EVER Get a Retrain

Pumpking, the undead king Fortress of dark illusion

[@Animexdraco]

Are you ready to came back to that video next year when they will annouced a retrain of one of the archetype present here ?

[@TheGreatSalsaMan]

Machine Kings design was just so COOL that as a kid I played him at 3 in old video games and recess meta. 3 Vanilla monsters mentioned him in their card text!!! That hype alone deserves some retrain love. Unfortunately hes a prime example of a card that could’ve been good but never saw use because of Summoned Skull and Jinzo. Alternatively Perfect machine kings design isn’t AS cool as machine king but he had the effect Machine King should’ve had. Perfect King should’ve been able to resurrect a fallen machine with a lower level than it AND gain ATK (maybe some hard OPT card effect immunity when there are other machines face up or a built in DNA Surgery effect. Anything that would be able to justify its level 8 2700 atk base stats.)

[@torakandwolf6786]

Bonz's zombies, paniks dark castle, Masked Beast and friends, Shinato and Reshef all deserve their own revamped strategies in my own opinion.

[@thecompareablezombie]

Yes, all characters have a deck, and can do be used for fun.

[@Creeperface111]

Please bring back the intros! They were charming and brought personality to these lists.

[@RealityMasterRogue]

I agree, I'd prefer to have the intros

[@SwoleTommyPickles]

The problem youtubers run into is when they do intros they get “I prefer when creators cut the nonsense intros and get straight into the video!” and when they cut the intros they get comments like these. There’s no pleasing everybody so they ultimately have to do whatever they personally prefer.

[@Creeperface111]

[@jshtng78]

@@SwoleTommyPickles The solution then is for commentors to stop directing requests at the youtuber and focus on trying to shoot the other side down. That way the channel owner has less pressure to make their own decision.

[@IndexInvestingWithCole]

@@SwoleTommyPicklesI’ve never seen anyone say that

[@FatesChosenHero]

Machine King might already been in progress some. Clockwork Night (the continuous spell) does make all monsters on the field machines and has a search effect for Earth Machines when banished from the GY (which the Machine Kings are). Additionally, the new link monster, Clockwork Knight searches out the continuous spell. If you look at Clockwork Knight's design, there are several parts of that monster's design that mirrors Robotic Knight's design: the green gem on the chest, the gold pauldrons with the red gem ontop of the shoulders, silver head with the gold face guard, to name a few.

[@thefanwithoutaface8105]

Honestly Konami could go on to make even stronger versions of Machine King, lie Perfectly Ultimate Machine King or Supreme Machine King,

[@chrisb7180]

As a child I always thought the burning beast was a giant red rock face. I find it hard to unsee it.

[@HOLYVEXZEL]

I still dont know what I am looking at

[@Totem4563]

Pyramid of Light would be an awesome archetype to get a retrain as a nod to the movie. That’s if Konami is willing to do so.

[@MarioMastar]

Yeah, giving the similarities with the Battle Pyramid archetype, it'd be nice to have mixed them together and done something cool with Thalia and ...the other guy (name I forgot). It's kind of a shame too cause they are pretty powerful, just clunky to summon and that's really the only thing holding them back. But gosh I just love thier designs honestly.

[@XBlasterAce]

I would like them to continue making more retrains of older cards that didn't see much play back in the day

[@TMek42]

Pumpking is the card I want a modern archetype of the most, or just a Bonz archetype in general. My other faves were flame swordsman, relinquished and gate guardian

[@MarioMastar]

Yeah, Bonz really deserves more respect than he got. He's the only one who was killed off and actually stayed dead despite being an unlucky child with a face defect that probably was a victim of severe bullying. Even in Duel links he questions why he's suddenly alive again, and if they can give Rex Raptor's two headed dragon some new cards (and mighty fine ones as well), they can throw Bonz something. I feel like Pumpking was WAY over balanced for the time, but the idea of protecting a monster to make it stronger in conjunction with the nature of zombie decks could lead to some really cool modern strats.

[@AGuyCalledHarry]

A retrain of Raphael's Guardian monsters would be good. Give them all Eatos' summoning condition and merge the equip spell with the monster eg: Guardian Grarl - Gravity Axe 3000/1500 If you have no monsters in your GY, you can special summon this card from your Hand. Monsters your opponent control cannot change their battle position. Maybe throw in some additional effects for each monster, but you could make a really good archetype by retraining Raphael's guardian cards and include support that have benefits for keeping monsters out of the GY.

[@gonzalez8juan]

Equip cards special summon the guardians from the hand and you can banish the spell cards in the graveyard to return the monsters to deck

[@RC_ALB]

​@@gonzalez8juanMake then also capable of negating monster effects when equipped to non-guardian monsters.

[@this_is_america_speaking]

With machine kings you could just make the loyal subjects into effect monsters that revolve around the machine king Maybe one of them helps protect your "machine king" from card effects and/or battle Another one can search for a "machine king" card from your deck and maybe special summon it or just put it into hand And the final one can maybe just buff your machine monsters further I'm not that creative but yeah Alternatively if you just want to make the current machine kings better to already have protection and such on the card You could just have it like this One special summons a machine king monster from the grave One special summons a machine king monster from the deck And one special summons machine king monster from the hand

[@ChinhNguyen-cs3pj]

I like how Konami tried to make the King Pumpkin and the Castle of Dark Illusion works together, despite them not being used by the same person in the anime... and like.... the stat increase in the anime is the pumpkin's effect....

[@ianr.navahuber2195]

it almost looks like they forgot panik

[@crab230]

I almost guarantee that Pumpking will get a retrain at some point. It's from one of the last unexplored Duelist Kingdom duels and a pretty iconic one at that.

[@jshadowhunter]

Goat format facilitates an "Orks & Goblins" deck. Stuff your deck with Goblin attack forces and Giant orcs, and any other high-attack monster with a drawback, then either use Final Attack order or Skill Drain to negate the said drawbacks.

[@MarioMastar]

Yeah I feel the Attack force cards still have a niche given the things you can do with them after they attack and they could work as a quick surprise 2K attacker in a pinch. Though I'm a duel links player so I mostly see value in the potential cards have assuming you survive past the 3rd turn and Duel links generally allows people to be more creative. Alas I think they're probably on this list because they don't have to be retrained.... the game has enough power creep as it is (coughLinkmonsterscough) and could use the pace being slowed down a bit to where battle effects actually matter again.

[@Zelgius1]

Perfect Machine King is even better in Reshef of Destruction, than in the real card game. Gaining 1.000 Attack & Defense for every Machine Type monster on the field, including itself, is at the very least a much better effect.

[@xenonim]

Goblin attack force artype maybe have high chance of retrain. Since konami have release Goblin Biker, hopefully retrain goblin attack force, the OG goblin monster.

[@Dionysus24779]

I know the D/D/D archetype already kind of goes into that direction, but I would love a "deal with the devil" based archetype based on Ha Des on something new. It could work by having cards with powerful effects, but great costs, which you can force onto your opponent, except for them the benefit might be questionable or even useless. (like for example a card which gives a powerful buff to link monsters, which is great for you, but your opponent might rely on Xyz). Or, what I think would be even cooler, you know how both players can use each other's field spell's effect, which rarely comes up? What if your entire deck has cards which your opponent is allowed to use as well, but if they do, it generates resources that benefit you and you have ways to greatly capitalize on these resources and ways to prevent your opponent from actually gaining advantage. Like, just an example, imagine you have a field spell which collects counters and uses them to protect itself (like in the Endymion archetype). Then you have another card which allows you, once per turn, to pay a bit of lifepoints to add a monster card from your GY to your hand, which is a powerful effect. Whenever this effect is used a counter is generated and added to your field spell. Your opponent can use this effect as well, but it also generates a counter for you. Then you have different cards with effects that scale off the number of counters you have, or remove them as a cost for powerful effects (like spell counters). Also you have ways to jinx your opponent's use of your cards. Like maybe a trap card that says "if your opponent adds a monster card from their GY to their hand, then monsters with that card's name cannot be summoned or special summoned and cannot activate their effects this turn." so you got to use that effect, you added a card from your GY to your hand, but the devilish twist is that it completely useless this turn.

[@bismarckimperia8781]

Oh boi, we are definitely going to get retrains or archetypes in these cards.

[@SueKaminari]

Freezing Beast & Burning Beast: (0:00) Pumpking the King of Ghosts: (2:20) Pyramid of Light: (5:42) Goblin Attack Force: (7:55) Adjective Retrains: (10:41) Cyber Commander: (13:15) Berserk Dragon: (15:54) are not even archtypes they are just cards mention each other, without deck it just set of cards add, not an archtype and what make them bad that they require specefic card however they still can be meta or at least a playable deck, for example, "Hungry Burger"

[@thecompareablezombie]

Yes

[@peterpanther23]

Duellogs in his top 10 Waifu cards video: "I will not be making top 10s about an archetype or deck" Also, the duellogs many, many years later:

[@TrollSlayer2001]

Pumpking could get its own archetype that utilizes pumpkin counters and Call of the Haunted. We could get retrains of Armored Zombie, Clown Zombie, Dragon Zombie, Great Mammoth of Goldfine, The Snake Hair, and Pumpking. Pumprincess could get support with this archetype.

[@JackHugeman]

I would love a burning/freezing beast retrain with cracked union support like what they did to chimera with the illusion cards.

[@MarioMastar]

There's a ton of old archetype ideas that could've been modernized easily with some good erratas and support that Konami just.....forgot about...which is the biggest shame. Stil upset they never bothered to finish the Neo Spacians and it would've been WAY easier for them to just make Ritual monsters go in the extra deck instead of requiring us to play Nekroz to get any use out of them.....

[@hahathatsgreat2]

They would have to be careful with the Goblin Attack retrains. So the Goblin Bikers are actually also generic Goblin support. For example, Goblin Bikers Gone Wild summons a "Goblin" not just a "Goblin Biker." Right now there are builds that go into Scrap Goblin to do synchro plays, but if there were another good Goblin archetype, it could be bridged as well.

[@RC_ALB]

That's exactly what I was thinking. How would they make a Goblin archetype without including Goblin Riders and many other random goblin monsters

[@thefanwithoutaface8105]

9:28 Honestly they could go with the Army theme and add another monster called Goblin Shield Force, which has ludicrous high defense and the special ability that when it's on the field all attacks are directed at said monster, allowing it to protect the Attack Forces when they are vulnerable.

[@SproingBoing]

An idea for a Dark Scorpion Retrain could be a Battle Focused deck that pilfers cards from your opponent, like how Grave Robber works. Something like upon successfully dealing LP damage reveal the top/bottom card of your opponent's deck and either send it to the GY *_or_* use the card for yourself. If it's a monster you may summon it to your field in defense position, Use a spell effect, Set a Trap, ETC. Naturally there'd have to be some kind of restriction, but it would allow these comically competent crooks to retain their unique flavor of milling or messing with your opponent.

[@SashaYamato]

1. Vishwar randi and succubus knight, they can make another waifu archetype with this 2.kanan the swordmistress, i like the artwork and the stats of 1400 atk/def and she's level 4, it's a really rare stats 3.locomotives/trains/railroad/gustav max archetype, you can make a union xyz that can detach from the equip union xyz and like a train with multiple units/railcar/cargo you can equip it a lot like ABC and VWXYZ archetype but it's xyz monsters 4.nekroz, just want them to be top tier again or any other ritual monsters to be competitive 5.kozmo, because i fear the future of star wars 6.timaeus, critias and hermos, legit i love this archetype, too bad it's super slow with little pay off 7.roids specifically syrus roids, just to piss the community and frankly if they can combine roids and cyberdark it would pay great tribute to the anime 8.neo spacian and hero, because i like jaden, but his neo spacian is really bad for hero except neos, so a fusion of neo spacian and hero would be awesome 9.charmer, their stories are intriguing 10.duel terminal lore cards, legit the best story on card and such a shame the lore where trishula and brionac come from cannot keep up with current meta

Pretty much most classic Yu-gi-oh cards need retrains in order to be competitive.

[@ragnaricstudios5888]

Heck, it might not be competitive but I was surprised they made a Metalmorph archetype

[@teddyhaines6613]

The monsters do, at least. The spells usually need nerfing to not be broken.

[@MarioMastar]

Honestly forget competitive cause frankly modern Yugioh is just power creep soup (literally most archetypes even modern ones are useless cause they "can't beat Tears") They need to just use thier ban list better and stop printing overpowered cards that literally do what a former banned card did but somehow far worse AND with tempo.... Fortunately Duel links knows how to put a lid on rediculous strats and let us actually have a chance of winning wtih some of our favorite archetypes, not just everyone use Tears or Sprights and prevent your opponent from playing the game and acting like that's peak yugioh....

[@Batman3939393]

[@ianr.navahuber2195]

The funniest thing is, is that Pumpking the King of Ghosts, Cyber Commander, Goblin Attack Force and even Machine King will surely eventually get a retrain & support because "DM nostalgia" . Cyber Commander was played by Tristan, Goblin Attack Force by Joey, Pumpking by Bonz (shoutouts to Duel Links) and even Machine King was played by Nezbitt and Bandit Keith 2:19 Even DuelLogs is aware this guy has chances of getting support 10:34 remember this card was played by joey. so it can always get nostalgia support 11:48 surprised this yugi mutou card hasn't gotten its own archetype

[@kmdgaming6039]

I would love to see a dedicated "Goblin" archetype focused on swarming, more cards like Goblin Attack Force and maybe some goblin-themed Equip Spells, Traps and maybe even some Xyx monsters themed around getting more ATK and effects with more Goblins attached to it as material.

[@walkerpierce5446]

Here's one: The metalizing parasites. If they were level 4s and had an easier way to special summon them, they could be great Cyber Dragon / Machine Support. The abilities to just add protections to Cybers would be amazing!

[@XragebootsX]

“Red-Eyes Prince, Prince of Ghosts” Level 7 Zombie/effect ATK: 2400 DEF: 2000 If you control a “Pumpking, King of Ghosts” or “Pumprincess, Princess of Ghosts” you may special summon this card from your hand. If a monster effect would activate during your Standby Phase, those effects activate an additional time. Just a bad idea given I have no idea of this would work, but I feel that fits with Red-Eyes

[@1rotzy]

An archetype that I personally like, and hope gets a retrain is the Iron Chain cards, an archetype that was introduced at the beginning of 5Ds, and was a victim of its time. Much like many cards that were introduced, it didn't really have a united theme besides the name. Some had burn effects, others could search, but it wasn't very good. If they retrained it, I could see it being tied to the chaining mechanic of Yugioh. The higher the chain the more powerful the effects you could use. An effect at chains 2, 3, and 4 with different effects. And the boss monster could change the entire order of the events in a chain so opponent cards could miss timing, and your cards could activate sooner. I know this is a very small possibility, but heres hoping.

[@Rhino-n-Chips]

A chess-themed archetype has literal novels worth of concepts it could draw from, but they decided to tie it to the archfiends and their long abandoned LP costs for some reason. Mechanically, they're closer to monopoly than chess.

[@RC_ALB]

I wanted to repurpose them into a fanmade archetype with actual chess gimmicks, but the fuckers have very few support cards to mimic strategies and rules.

[@JinhC]

Freezing Beast's art is one of my favorites in the game, extremely sick

[@LunarWingCloud]

As someone from the area, pronouncing it as "Sell-tick" instead of "Kell-tick" makes me think of the Boston Celtics, so now Celtic Guardian is the Boston Celtic Guardian.

[@MarioMastar]

Odd it'd be mispronounced given they literally always pronounced it "Kell-tick" in the show, but I guess if you grew up with the basketball team you'd probably read faster than you hear it.

Would be interesting to see Freezing Beast and Burning Beast a Fusion card, either level 6 or 8, that combines their stats(3000 attack, 2000 defense) and give them some fairly good effects involving other Union monsters or something.

[@Bashamo257]

I'll never forgive them for errataing Infernalqueen - the +1000 attack per round buff she gave used to be permanent and stack with itself as long as she stays on the field. The DRV reprint and onward makes it only last until the end of the turn.

[@Vol-Tear]

With the Chess Archfiends and link monsters I think they can get fairly creative as there are 6 chess pieces and the link arrows so you could have link 1 monsters of each piece that need a specific Archfiend piece Or have one layer of link 1s that help summon out other archfiends to where is pointing and then have greater versions with "Greater" in their names (Archfiend rook, Greater archfiend rook) and them being link 4 Or different pieces at different link rates depending on the directions their piece moves like Link Pawn is a link 1 as it can only move forwards, link 4 rook with + arrows, link bishop with X arrows not sure how the others would work but is interesting.

[@quijassajiuq900]

HE’S MANIFESTING NEW ARCHETYPE SUPPORT 🙏

[@MrShukaku1991]

I want to see a retrain of Super Roboyarou/ Super Robolady. A neat fusion archetype that can swap out with eachother in the ED. Could make an even more fun one where its a full ED summoning mechanic group that you swap between to get the one you need.

[@AZ-rl7pg]

Pumpking is one of those cards that have zero excuse for not already having a retrain. Its current effect is so out of touch with its anime effect. The two cards aren't even from the same duel/duelist, they're unrelated. Plus the duelist (PaniK) that used Castle of Dark Illusions didn't even use zombies, he played fiends with the Castle creating a dark mist to hide their stats so if anything it should be one of those flip support cards that reset and shuffle your monsters.

[@bradensmith8682]

Maybe a retrain of Pumpking that negates the effects of all monsters that had their stats reduced. And if either of their stats hit zero, they're banished.

[@RolandTheJabberwocky]

I honestly can't believe we've never gotten a PaniK deck retrain. They had some of the best art and great episodes that everyone liked as far as I know.

I'd have liked a gimmicky variant of Swords of Revealing light that works like how Yugi somehow used it against Panik. where if you use the card, All monsters on your opponent's field except the monster with the highest attack has immunity to battle for 3 turns but on the endphase of the third turn, destroy all monsters on the field. Monsters can't be tributed or removed from the field while this card is in effect though. So you protect your opponent's monsters for 3 turns, only to raigeki them and force them to waste a spell destruction to free their monsters so they can tribute them or protect them from the Raigeki effect, but they can then be damaged. Something like that would be cool. Kind of like the "Attack the Moon" card which is also a card based on Yugi's antics. Heck it'd be really funny if for every time a character cheated in Duel Monsters, they printed a card that somehow lets you do that. Like "If you summon Great Moth or Perfectly Ultimate Great moth, spread poison on the opponent's monsters that cuts thier attack in half" and even one referencing the infamous Kaiba gambit....although frankly that card already exists...it's called Soul relay.

I pulled berserk when I was young and would just read and reread it thinking why isn't this good, it looks so cool

[@AZ-rl7pg]

I'd love to see a Machine King retrain that works as a lore jump off for Earth Machine.

[@brave1_007]

You’re brave for uploading this Logs

[@jacobh1833]

Machine king is awesome but a bit sad as well, as E.M.R is a super rad card for the gundam esc feel of the archetype, but it relies on 'original' attack, I think if there was a card that gave them their boosts as 'original attack' when they leave the field or while on it we could see some interesting plays with it, not meta, but still fun!

[@runningoncylinders3829]

Rata has talked about the Dark Scorpions multiple times. I want to see them all together again.

[@streetguru9350]

I think if the Goblin cards split into tokens you could use for link summons in main phase 2 after the battle phase they might be useful pretty easily.

[@MrDonJuanquis]

An archetype I know for sure will never see new support is Bounzers, a 5 card group where only the XYZ was ever used.

[@JosephHk743]

After seeing the latest (as of posting) batches of retrains (P.U.N.K, Orcust, Dragonmaids, and (as of posting) the Dragon Rulers), I wouldn’t mind seeing any of the retrains mentioned in the video to actually happen.

[@FactorialGhost]

I haven't watched the vid but I always thought its a travesty that the Archfiends mostly Summoned Skull never got the love of Dark Magician and/or Blue Eyes. Even though those are not that meta but it still holds a place in ppls hearts and childhood and they get play and sometimes rogue status

[@brendanwiley253]

I would love to finally have a centerpiece to my Goblin-Boblin deck which is just a pile of card that either say the word "goblin" or have one in the artwork

[@D6zndlvF9Q]

Id love see a retrain of dark master zorc and diaboubd kernel. With zorc being the big bad of the final season and diabound having a lot of screen time, having them bundled together to make a zorc ritual deck would be cool

[@magnaillusion6085]

Katy Perry has been real quiet since DuelLogs mentioned the possibility of Hot and Cold archetype.

[@garyhill1993]

Would love to see a Slot Machine archetype. He was my favourite card when I was a kid!

[@attackonyugioh92]

I cry every day that pumpking doesn't get his retrain. Well I hope about it often lol

[@booshbear]

unironically pumpking is one of my all time favorite monster

[@deaconpeck881]

7:07 😆 That reference to the Kaiba theme song in the '06 movie. That early to mid 2000s edgy punk rock lolz.

[@citiestoash]

Chthonian cards deserve a retrain too. Make them something similar to fiend smith and have them as a small engine you could use

[@MJTRadio]

It doesn’t happen very often that I know every single card referenced in one of these. Fuck does that make me an old fan

[@RealityMasterRogue]

YOOO BERSERK DRAGON!!! I traded for that card when i was younger without reading it and then found out it needed a ritual to summon that I didn't own!!!

[@AtrieTheWorldTroublesolver]

Is he reuploading these vids but without intros??

[@chermill93]

5:39 Red Eyes Pumpkin Dragon is gonna go so hard

[@tonymastro42]

I would love to see a Garoozis retrain where they incorporate kunai with chain to buff attack and change opponent monster positioning.

[@leavezgaming]

With the new Skull servant supports again, Pumpking might actually appear in the new set revealed already.

[@CodySvsTheNet]

Archfiends need a complete rehaul, Summoned Skull needs to be their pankryotops/fenrir

[@km_1911]

Now you’re obligated to do a top 10 ideas of how they could successfully retrain bad archetypes.

[@themungebimp4523]

Mr Logs you should do Most Overpowered cards from season 1 of Yugioh, before they got errated (like Riryoku)

[@LocrianDorian]

You are severely underestimating Konami's desperation for cashing in nostalgic cards.

[@kawaiizombiegal]

Pumpking may have a evolved form in Jacko-bolan and a child in pumprincess

[@MEGACONTRAST]

Wheres the intro? :(

[@christopherfeatherley]

He took them out from recent videos :( I hope they come back, however

[@CodySvsTheNet]

Machine King has the possibility of being broken with Clockwork Night if it gets a retrain with protection.

[@VampirePrinceKRS]

I feel like Jack-O-Bolan is a retrain of Pumpking or at least it's final form. even if it doesn't have an effect that deals with attack increasing or decreasing.

[@infernape100]

I remember opening a pack years ago, got freezing beast in it. Never could use it but it was interesting.

[@musiyevonchilla6769]

Never say "Never" I mean, Konami made retrains out of forgotten vanilla garbage monsters (some of them were OCG only btw) with the Memento archtype, so we'll never know

[@zoid_on_youtube]

making a chess-themed mini-archetypes gimmick revolve around dice rolls is just bizarre. one of the most notable aspects of chess is that it has no RNG of any kind. did they just do it because dice are square, and chess also has squares...?

[@brandoncastellano1858]

If thunder dragon and Yubel can become meta overnight from a random set of support, then anything can be given support.

[@Petsinwinter2]

Or "DuelLogs attempts to manifest cards into existence by saying they'll never happen"

[@eerieeric834]

What about cards that needs to be re-trade to be good

[@thegreatbocaj]

Cyber Commander archetype could always have an option effect to special summon a cyber commander from deck to fuse, synchro, or xyz into different cyber squads. Even a field spell Cyber Command Base. Konami would censor it so bad😅😂

[@Danlight1911]

I want a Pumpking retrain SO DAMN BAAAAD! As a kid I thought the card was so fucking cool until I realized it was actually fucking awful even on release.

[@luckykiller911]

I would like to see Bonz cards get retrained

[@kiddprofit2500]

La Jinn the Mystical Genie, Ushi Oni, Mystic Lamp archetype would be cool a genie archetype

[@thetrippyonejacobzimmerman286]

I feel like Fire and Ice Hand are spiritual successors to Buring and Freezing beast. konami just streamlined their effects and made them better.

[@Diabl0Mask]

There are many cards I always wanted to get support or a retrain of: Aitsu & Koitsu. Pikeru & Curran. Roboyarou & Robolady. Muka Muka & Hane-Hane. Crab Turtle.
