[@ShadowD.Joestar]

Came here after finding out that a Genex is getting a link monster. It's called Repaired Genex Controller. I read that link monster and nearly screamed. Since nearly every R-Genex Monster has an effect to search on normal summon. This card effectively says “Go +8, you deserve it.” Literally the only draw back is that there physically aren’t enough monster card zones for the sheer amount of searching you’re doing. Also, THEY GAVE A HANDTRAP QUICK SYNCHRO TO A DECK WITH A WALKING PERMANENT CHANGE OF HEART?!

[@Memento_Mori-24]

I mean yeah, you do deserve to go +8. You're playing Genex

[@matiaspereyra9392]

I mean, there's a lot of useless ninja cards, the one difference is that the archetype had a small place within some rogue decks and the package would be different depending on the times Hanzo, upstart, ninja art of transformation was probably the one that saw play the longest but there's also the super transformation one, that used the dragon ninjas saw a lot of rogue play Ninjas on their own only saw some play after the pends were out and even then it kinda felt worse than when you played a ninja core All in all ninjas are kinda like red eyes, they never really got down to a unified style, the ninja arts are the only thing that identifies their play style through most of the eras but it is better than red eyes in the sense that you could at least splash it, even if you where playing only 3 different cards out of 6 different cards that were worth playing out of the 200k different cards that composed the ninja support

[@leojamesquiambao1047]

@@matiaspereyra9392 the thing about ninjas, at least, they have a decently effective game plan that let's them be at least rogue tier.

[@J3Puffin]

For many of us, Genex will be remembered as the archetype that got 2nd place in War of the Worthless because some mad lad decided to take Rata’s suggestion that they were the worst archetype in the game seriously and built just about the most competent deck in the tournament using them 😂

[@BloodfelX]

Genex Recycled copying Blastfan then using Machine Duplication to go into Trishula and add 2 cards from deck to hand is such a legendary move - I would honestly love to see Genex get an archetypal card that searches Machine Duplication and potentially sets up Recycled.

[@BloodfelX]

(Extrapolating on that thought, something like the following as a conceptual Continuous Spell: Genex Mass Production When this card is activated you can send 1 "Genex" monster from your hand or deck to the grave. If this card in your possession is sent to the grave by an opponent's card effect you can add 1 "Genex" non-Tuner monster from your deck or grave to your hand. You can only use 1 of the following effects of "Genex Mass Production" per turn and only once that turn: >Reveal 1 "Genex" Tuner monster from your hand or field, add 1 "Machine Duplication" from your deck or grave to your hand. >Reveal 1 "Machine Duplication" from your hand or field, add 1 "Genex" Tuner monster from your deck or grave to your hand. Probably simultaneously over-tuned and under-tuned, but that just sounds like retroactive archetypal support in Yu-Gi-Oh generally.)

[@Createrz2015]

Would've won too if it didnt go against its literal worst matchup in the entire tourney in the last round. That being the anti synchro deck Meklords.

[@mermaid_hina2713]

I just wanna say the Nordic player did a tremendous job though too. Dude came so close to winning it all too, but like Genex it had to go up against Mekklords too.

[@joanaguayoplanell4912]

My idea for that was an archetypal Trishula on drugs (Aldo banishes 1 card from top of deck and extra deck, and you get to see the hand and extra deck to choose them, and if the Genex tuner is the original vanilla, you banish up to 3 instead from each place. If sent from field to GY by any means, free Machine Dup from deck or GY)

[@joshuakim5240]

I find it hilarious that the best use of Genex was as a Trishula engine more so than anything to do with with Genex synchros. And all because of a weird wording loophole involving Machine Duplication, which allowed any Genex monster whose name got copied by Genex Spare to be mass summoned because it's based on the stats of the card present, not the ones about to be summoned (so have Spare copy any lvl4 Genex monster's name to special summon 2 of said monsters and then synchro into Trishula). For context, Locomotion R Genex can be summoned this way but no one would choose that over freaking Trishula.

[@eavyeavy2864]

The madlad summon the train 😂

[@kennydarmawan13]

Do Ursarctic next. And you know the archetype is bad when the boss monster that gets its own animation is Locomotion R-Genex, a random nobody card.

Genex feels like an anime protagonist's archetype: gimmicky, centered around a mediocre vanilla, has a an extra deck monster of each attribute, gets an upgrade/evolution for the archetypal monsters each season and it has seemingly random, unrelated cards thrown in the deck for no apparent reason.

[@N12015]

Yet it IS NOT a deck from 5Ds, but hidden arsenal like Ally of Justice, Ice Barrier, X-Saber and Flamvell. 3.5 of those archetypes are worthless.

[@riccardolanni9973]

[@backtothepoolture6453]

I feel bad for Genex... Many Archetypes from the past were also considered 'Bad' or 'Unplayable', but they still got some Decent Support after some time, like the 'Ice Barriers' or 'T.G.s', hopefully someday they get the same treatment.

[@kappadarwin9476]

They need spells and searcher man, like what was Konami thinking?

[@oldhunterreview7440]

Yes and Ally of Justice will be a top tier deck, Konami abandoned those card since Genex had good ideas but were mismanaged beyond salvage heck Ice Barriers were more playable then Genex, at least Wet Lands Beat down was fun for Ice Barriers and the Synchros were and still some of the most powerful cards in YuGiOh history even with the prevalence of other cards Thrish is still a card to be feared in any Synchro Deck.

[@justinpennington6680]

I thought some T.G. Cards had some tops a couple years ago

[@juksleo6257]

There is no few set of cards that can salvage Allies of Justice. The only way to do it would be going the vampire route and doing a full archetypal remake giving them an entirely new gimmick

[@Mighty-Eight]

Genex will always be my favorite Archetypes of all time Good or bad. We are In a Hiden Arsenal Renaissance so Hopefully this Archetype gets some well deserved support. Ice Barriers are finally Playable, Genex can do the same.

[@olleekenberg]

Despite being underwhelming, they are my second favorite archetype. The trick is to not run so many of the bad Genex cards and you can make a casual coherent list.

Similar to Guardragons imo

[@kanrakucheese]

That might have actually worked if their tuner wasn't utter trash, or their effects actually did *anything* to turbo out their single tuner, since Tuner options were so limited in early Synchro format even Flamvell Magician saw play. Even a passable synchro with generic materials, like Ally of Justice got, would have worked better. Of course, they couldn't do that because Synchron *already* took the theme of machine monsters that turboed out synchro monsters, and that actually produced a decent number of useful support cards (even if they were never really great as a pure archetype).

ah genex, a series of cards I mostly know from their appearance in the 5d's ds games as one of the few archetypes available early on. they look super tempting up until you actually start a duel with them only to realise you're functionally stuck playing on half speed and none of the monsters you can keep on the field can stand up to the sheer unbridled power of gene-warped warwolf. so then you give up and resign yourself to beating the story with a warrior tribal deck and ally of justice catastor. like every other chump.

From what I noticed from the Video, most of the Genex monsters (At least the First ones), had some Decent Effects that just weren't properly used due to the fact that they would mostly require your Normal summon, more ways to Special summon could be good, but what if they had more ways to Normal summon as well? Maybe if they had a card with an effect like 'You can Normal Summon 1 'Genex' monster in addition to your Normal Summon' or something, maybe a Field/Continuous Spell, that could make it the first one of the Archetype, maybe with another card that could search it?

Only 4 cards stood out and only 1 Synchro was even worth playing! Genex Ally Axel and Birdman (mainly Birdman) are really the best Monsters out of the Entire series, as Axel is a Synchro that has Decent attack stats, can summon and also boost Attack Scores for the Cards he summons! While Birdman is a lesson in Synergistic Card design that Works! He not only summons himself, but he both boosts his own attack, and changes his own attribute! But overall he just sends a monster back to the hand because he’s ment to reflect the “Mist Valley” clan! It’s no wonder why this card by itself lasted so long! It just makes so much sense, it hurts! Which tells me that NONE Of the Other Cards Ever Did this! Duradark was a great anti-Dark tool! But none of the others Changed their Type or Attribute in ways that would work with Flamvells, XX Sabers, Ice Barriers, or even their namesake AOJs (Ally of Justice)! Nor did these cards Give benefits or Drawbacks for “Light” Based decks! I mean what even is the point of these cards if their Don’t trigger off of Attributes that you or your opponent have?!

I think Genex could be fixed by adding a field spell which allows one additional normal summon of a Genex monster, a continuous spell to add a Genex monster to the hand whenever a Genex monster is summoned and a continuous trap which gives you life points equal to the Genex monsters used for a synchro summon and return one of the materials to the hand.

[@jshtng78]

A lot of these old abandoned archetypes could be blanket fixed by just giving each one a non-interactable field spell that is guaranteed to go off whenever and gives the archetype all the modern functions they need to at least be rogue, with extremely strict restrictions against generic usage. That 1 card could then be retrained every time power creep gets far enough. Not sure if anyone who doesn't play those archetypes would appreciate that becoming the standard though.

it's a dire situation that I can say that I'm not sure a better cynet codec would be good enough lmao

Top 10 "Umi" field cards and support cards that references "Umi" in their text.

[@JosephHk743]

Looking at the support nowadays for Genex, the new cards were actually okay. Return Genex Controller is a Link 1 that required 1 level 4 or lower Genex monster as material and has a non-once per chain (and non-once per turn turn) effect that allows you to normal summon another Genex monster from your hand if you added a Genex card to your hand. It made the slow board building process of the past into a viable glue to Genex Decks. However, it was also the biggest target to negate with Imperm and Veiler or stop the searching from the deck by Droll and Lock Bird. Plus, if Genex didn’t get a monster Negate on board, then Nibiru also completely counters the Link 1 Summon Spam. They also got a new Synchro in Arms of Genex - Return Zero. A Level 10 Dark Machine Synchro that requires a Dark Tuner and one or more non-Tuners. It has a quick effect monster negate that it can activate by banishing monsters of the attribute of the monster effect being activated. It also has a once per turn effect to shuffle up to 6 Genex monsters of different attributes from the GY or banish zone to destroy that number of spells/traps on the field. While not immediately game breaking, Return Zero is a really nice payoff that had an impressive endboard presence. It’s mostly effective in Genex Decks, but Return Zero has had some brief experimentation in decks like Centur-ion. Overall, while Genex is not quite meta relevant, the new support did provide a solid combo plan that, when uninterrupted, makes the Genex strategy more consistent.

[@feliperocha2541]

[@kevintan6110]

how coincidence that they got the support right after this video

[@talenstout8324]

Red Dragon ARCHFIEND got some good support recently.

[@Jyxero]

Sure, don't forget Labrynth ARCHFIEND did got some love too... RE doesn't synergize with OG Archfiends aside of few cards like Falling down

[@JGdouble2]

Rata changed the way we see genex

[@nosfonader8792]

Don't forget about Samurai Destroyer. That monster is generic with a solid 2600 attack value. Also it negates the opposing monster's effect when they are destroyed. Making them unable to activate anything. I tried liking Genex in Duel Links but I found them impractical. I saw some good players on Master Duels though.

This will become the Legacy of the Worthless of this generation

[@trashcrash8865]

DT 1-2 archetype are wild, they make these archetype that relies on other of their member to gain their effect, without any ability for them to swarm the field

[@richardomilos8686]

İm still having flashbacks to that trishula/crystal wing board.
