In a little tournament i was playing against a dude with the field spell that summon tokens on your side and reduce your monsters atk by half (i don't remember the card), and he manages to summon the xyz raidraptor Now, i had my field full of those anoying tokens, but had the Phantasm spiral field spell, if you know about the arquetype you know that drawing into Phantasm spiral dragon is a dead card in your hand, but i realize something, not only in my hand i draw the Phantasm spiral dragon, but also in my hand i had "together we stand" Sooooo i did something i never expected to do in my life, tribute summon Phantasm spiral with 2 of those tokens, then with the field spell Pacifis i added to my hand Phantasm spiral grip (the one thar adds you 500 atk), then i equip both p.s. grip and togheter we stand to my dragon, and thanks to the tokens, my dragon surpased the attack of the raidraptor and i managed to kill it, not only that but manage to win the round :D

I run Dinowrestlers with cards like Transmodify, Living Fossil and Call of the Haunted. I know I’m using the archetype differently than what was actually designed (aka the effects happen when your opponent has more monsters), but turboing out a 3500 beatstick with one-time protection isn’t too bad. SS Valeonyx or Coelasilat, NS another Dinowrestler, Link them into Terra Parkourio, use Living Fossil to bring back one of your Dinowrestlers, then use Tyrant Dino Fusion to summon Chimera T Wrextle.

When the Ice Barriers were released I loved using them so much. The archetype is pretty bad if used on its own, but that's why you would have lots of supports to help it out. Then when I realized that the Synchros made for this deck got banned because they were able to be used and abused in other archetypes it made my heart hurt. :( I love the Ice elemental so I wanted to make a deck specifically based around it, yet Ice counters are garbage and Ice Barriers (at the time) were the only other option for me.

[@coolkidsclub9943]

I actually thought about Naturia, since they have problems similar to Ice Barriers, but I think their main deck monsters are just slightly good enough to where they wouldn't be a high contender. They do revolve around their annoying negation methods which can actually be effective if they establish a decent board. They can also summon and technically use all their extra deck monsters, which is more than can be said for some on the list.

[@AgileAndDeft]

Gagaga Cowboy primary usage is the effect damage like you mentioned in the video, but I believe it was, and still is prominent today not because of the effect damage finishing an opponent off but because if your opponent has less life points than you when time runs out at a tournament, you win the duel. So Gagaga Cowboy was the 'make it or break it' for a lot of duels simply due to time; a quick and easy 800 burn to get the edge in lifepoints, and then winning by time since your lifepoints are slightly higher than your opponents.

@@lord-of-roses6647 i see some people pull predaplant deck really well as their fusion boss monster is so good as really easy to summon,as Scorpio and cobra combo still good even in today meta deck because it give up a fusion card so easily to make combo games as their strongest boss monster,venom dragon as their banned card ssv dragon (because nightgale) so broken

As soon as I read the title I thought "Engage engine" Then I remembered wait a second that archetype has been meta for too long so it doesn't count

[@galorafaelgallardolecaro6914]

Great video. Please one video with the best level or rank 1.

[@petiteexplication6249]

Noble knight is my all time favorite deck and with their new support which indirectly also support battlin' boxers they are pretty much very effective

[@newnemesis666]

Good video as always. Can you consder make a videou about: Top 10 cards that can be summon without tribute (and has the less drawbacks)? One of the list I consider is: Wicked Acolyte Chilam Sabak. Thank you.

[@FurthestBen]

I would like to add that raidraptors at the moment are bloody terrifying to go against. Though they don't usually end on ultimate falcon. Their current end board that can play around 1-2 negates to get to it is simorgh link 3, cyber dragon infinity, number 39: utopia and barrier statue of stormwinds. Raidraptors before were a joke before duel overload. Duel overload was a powerful set for raidraptors and I honestly expect them to be at least tier 2 this format.

[@soma1743]

someone used the winged dragon of Ra's sphere mode on me but luckily I had winged dragon of Ra in my deck.

[@natapancabuana3908]

"Ally of justice catastor is so good" Me running blackwing : weak

[@IgorSalaj3578]

I would have used Shadow Imprisoning Mirror against it

[@coolkidsclub9943]

It isn't that amazing, but even with dark being one of (if not the) most popular attributes, catastor still has plenty of removal potential. It's basically a worse Shaddol Construct, since it doesn't hit all special summoned monsters and is smaller/arguably a little harder to summon.

[@DarkPegasus87]

I think the "Gagaga" archetype is perfect for my Level Tyrant strategy. I built a deck for Total Defense Shogun that revolved around the idea of changing battle position for effect. I included the two Level Limit cards to force L1-L3 monsters into AP and L4-L12 monsters into DP. For bonus effect, I included Dream Clown and Crass Clown so that I could change their position every turn to activate their effects. I even had Copycat and Relinquished to copy/absorb high power enemy monsters. Because they're L1, they're forced into AP with a high damage output. It was a nice little idea that was completely outside-the-box.

[@priince869]

Good job buddy. I like your videos

[@driptcg]

I love how this guy narrates. Even when i know everything he is saying, its just amusing to hear him say it

[@Di7manya]

I guess now Magician's Souls could be changed for Dragun of Red-Eyes, which works for two archetypes.

[@fluffyninja3467]

lmao I use 3 copies of Souls in a Turbo Dragoon deck I built last year

[@davidluz2340]

I literally listen to your videos on the background omg

[@luisabreu7295]

i feel like a video about the top 5 meta decks of each and every would be something to talk about and make lots of videos about how and why they were so good and groundbreaking

[@popcorndinosaur123]

Love cowboy. He's my boi for life.

[@HeraldOfOpera]

Yeah, the reason the Gagagas worked the way they did was so that Yuma could use all the Numbers if he had to in what was otherwise just Utopia Turbo. Funny story: there are circumstances where you CAN profitably use the monster you searched with Isolde. The most common is probably Pendulums, as only their monster effects are prevented so activating it as a spell basically removes the drawback. Imagine summoning 2 Trishulas and then overlaying into Enterblathnir (which is flavorfully connected to the Mecha Phantom Beasts who could earn an honorable mention on this list with Auroradon much like Crystron kinda did when you showed Halq at the start, but isn't actually part of the archetype). That's 3 handrips and Virtual World could probably do it if you were allowed to run it in multiples. That said, the Ice Barrier tribe was actually built around keeping its dragons imprisoned so of course it can't actually summon them. (It's a Duel Terminal archetype, putting lore above sanity is on-brand given Flamvell Magician.)

[@wonka_my_willy3139]

I actually have all 4 ice barrier monsters because I wanted to learn how to play since it always seemed fun so I bought the deck at Walmart but did not know it was that good at least the synchro

[@Master00Ra]

Lavalval Chain was originally designed to be used in Lavalval and Gishki decks, not only the first. So, it is a double support card that was better outside its archetypes.

[@bulborb8756]

but at the rate the game is going to far, it's very, very unlikely that Lavalval Chain will ever come off the ban list....most likely the only way he's ever going to come off is if his effect get's nerfed (which they could very well make it a hard "Once per duel" effect if they needed too...ik that sounds like overkill but that's just an example)

[@downingdonuts2474]

Dino wrestlers are actually pretty good. They can be fun and fit perfectly in a normal Dino deck

ayo i friggin love winged dragon of ra it looks sick and can get some real high damage pretty quick and it can be a pain in the butt to remove not to mention you can regain the lost life points if played correctly

*me looking at my 99 legendary duelist, magical hero booster packs which i will open tomorrow on christmas eve* yeah, magician soul does sound nice... also thank you. i am not keeping up to date but i want to build a dark magician/ spellcaster deck to play with a friend and I didn't know about Quintet Magician.

Limit Overdrive and King's Sychro for Galaxy Blazar Dragon. Red Hot Dragon Archfiend and Stardust Shining Dragon. World Legacy Clash/Chaos Zone with Soul Release. Zane Manna Dragon with Transmigration Prophecy+Jar Of Agrace. Pandemic Dragon with Spell Absorption. And more.
