Actually, back when Magical Scientist was legal (especially during Yata-control days), Dark Flare Knight was used extensively because it was, at the time, the highest ATK fusion monster you could special summon with Scientist. It was part of the toolbox that also included Ryu Senshi, Dark Balter the terrible and possibly Thousand-Eyes Restrict. There were other niche uses for them too like summoning Dark Sorceror.

[@Wannabechefguy]

Dark Blade the Dragon Knight has the same attack and it can banish 3 monsters from your opponent's GY when it inflicts battle damage. Seems sus that Dark Flare Knight was prevalent.

[@feder373]

You said what I was gonna say. Also, even though Mirage Knight saw very little play in competitive, it was sometimes used to get over bosses like Summoned Skull, Jinzo or Chaos monsters, since it was easy to get out just by ramming Dark Flare and taking a bit of damage.

[@Frostnburn]

@@Wannabechefguy Dark Blade the Dragon Knight was released in December 2004 in Rise of Destiny set, Dark Flare Knight was released in December 2003 in Dark Crisis, a full year earlier, so Dark Flare Knight was definitely used with Magical Scientist. I used it myself back then too, but it is true that it's not frequently seen, but there was a practical reason for its inclusion. In fact, Scientist spent 10 months as a legal card with Dark Flare knight before it was banned the first time, but only spent 4 months as a legal card with Dark Blade the Dragon Knight (in the TCG at least) before it was banned the second time.

One way to summon out Dragon Master Knight without using any of it's fusion requirements would be to have an extra deck containing it and blue eyes ult, use fusion tag on any face-up monster you control to make it's name become blue eyes ult for the use of a fusion, then use polymerization + any fusion substitute, and bam, one 5000 atk/def stick without any actual materials.

Dark Flare Knight was used in conjunction with Magical Scientist! I want to say it was the monster with the highest attack you could bring out that way, which was good for beating over things. Magical Scientist was the ultimate swiss army knife monster in its time because depending on the situation you could grab a fusion that negated spells, one that negated traps, Thousand Eyes Restrict to eat something up or Dark Flare Knight for beats. Worth noting you can easily summon 3 Dark Flare Knights this way, which is a lot of damage!

[@dylanogg347]

Fun Fact: Yaro/Yarou is a Japanese word that can translate to "Punk" or "Bastard". Not only that, but in Japan, "Super Roboyarou" and "Roboyarou" are known as "Rare Metal Knight" and "Rare Metal Soldier". There's also a similar situation for the monster "Fireyarou", who is known as "Flame Devil" in Japan. Maybe this was a simple mistake and the localization team was going for something else. Also, for those wondering; "Robolady" and "Super Robolady" are known as "Rare Metal Lady" and "Rare Metal Valkyrie" in Japan.

2:55 It's weird to see how what is effectively messed up wording screws over a card.

I believe Harpie Lady, Cyber Harpie Lady, Harpie Lady 1, 2 and 3 are also screwed over by the same conditions as Neo-Spacian Dolphin.

[@selectivepontification8766]

The Harpie Ladies had the excuse of coming from way before archetypes were even a concept, so Konami (or at least Kazuki Takahashi, RIP) thought that simply making cards copy each other's names was a good idea without considering the gameplay ramifications. Why Konami still hasn't errata'd them to work in a more sensible way is anyone's guess.

I think the argument was that you could use Cybernetic Zone, bring the monster back during the End Phase, and then use the effect to swap it out for its counterpart, thus negating Cybernetic Zone's destruction effect and letting it be used as a hyper specific form of protection, or to let you just swap the monsters out faster.

[@trueblueryu5713]

The special summoning restriction on a majority of early E-Hero fusions is kind of excessive. Yeah, they probably figured at the time that constant revival might seem OP since that format was a lot slower and they did have miracle fusion, but they could have at least thrown a bone on a few more of the monsters. It would be a waste of time to do now, but if they errata those fusions to remove the special summon restriction, it might give a bit more variety to hero builds

Wouldn't the "During your next Standby Phase, destroy it" portion of Cybernetic Zone mean that it always destroys Super Roboyarou / Robolady? The extra-deck switch isn't a quick effect, right? So whether you use it during your turn or your opponent's turn, it gets brought out during an end phase & destroyed by your standby phase, before you have a chance to use the monster's effect.

Yeah Cybernetic Zone is effectively worthless unless the monster has some way to not be destroyed by card effect, in which case you probably won't even need to use it as Limiter Removal would just be the better option for doubling the ATK of your machine monsters.

[@domsteele7038]

@@intensellylit4100 the 2x ATK is pretty much a defensive maneuver, as using Cybernetic Zone on your OWN turn will have either Super Robo return to the field with 2400 ATK while on the field during your opponent's turn. By the time it's your own turn, your Super Robo is destroyed after you draw a card. & Activating Cybernetic Zone on the opponent's turn "protects" your Super Robo for a turn by removing it, and it will return at the End Phase with 2400 ATK, but only until you are done drawing a card. Hopefully it would be another Cybernetic Zone, so you can quick-play it and do it all over again. There's also some old Trap that skips the Standby Phase entirely for a turn, bypassing the downside of not being able to use the 2400 ATK offensively.

Re: Armityle: Armityle was way more interesting in the anime where it didn't actually attack, in its very first appearance its effect was that it inflicted 10000 damage to a targetted enemy monster, essentially launching an attack in all ways without actually declaring an attack. Naturally this would be hell to implement in any way, shape, or form, so it was omitted. It also lacks the random "Eat your opponents field for a turn" effect that popped up once. I don't say having these effects would make it "good", but it would certainly be way more interesting. Re: Fusion deck: There wasn't actually a limit on Fusion Decks prior to becoming the Extra Deck beyond "you must be able to do it unaided", at least as far as I can recall. Re: Inferno: Manga only I'm afraid. And it kind of sucked there. Still, the GX Manga gave us Attribute specific E-Heroes like Great Tornado and Absolute Zero. Nova Master is basically them taking a mulligan on Inferno, as the E-Hero fusion that debuted immediately after it was Gaia, who was the first "E-Hero+Attribute" fusion monster.

*HIS HEAVYSAMS DECK REPLAY FLASHBACK*

[@michaeltrinh4394]

Dragon Master knight is used in a very old style of deck known as World Fusion, which was created by an obscure but brilliant TCG player who used to rank internationally while using [mostly] budget cards and anti meta strategy (as opposed to Tier 0/1 decks with expensive cards). World style fusion can work consistently while running Blue eyes, dark magician, and red eyes in the main deck, so despite the prototype being made in 2006, it can easily use new support cards like the red eyes/DM fusion monster.

Granted, it's still not a great deck and Armityle is still probably worthy of a low spot on the list (especially given that nowadays any deck that can put two level 4s on the field and is willing to include a Garnet can easily spit out a 10000 ATK beater, and because Anaconda got banned), but it's something.

[@ampotat9018]

I've been playing a lot of YGOPro lately and I have to say that most of what you said about Armityle isn't wrong but it's not correct either. Before Dimension Fusion Destruction, what you could do was using the field spell+Atk position Hamon+Cerulean Sky Fire+Sacred Beaast Awakening, wich would cause that, if they decide to attack your Armityle, the worst thing that could happen is that it gets destroyed (By negating it's effects through not targetting him) as you'll regain all LP you'd loose as soon as your opponent summons any monster. The field spell negates any effects that would target him or destroy him without targetting him, and atk Hamon+Cerulean Sky Fire means you can negate ANY effect once per turn AND put your Hamon on defence position, meaning your Armityle won't be able to be attacked either. That way you protect your LP and Armityle against everything they could use (unless they have 2 Dark Ruler No More in their hand, for example, in wich case you can just have TWO atk position Hamon and that'd fix it.) Now, with Dimension Fusion Destruction, you can just summon him, you won't take any damage, with the field spell he won't be destroyable or targetable by card effects (Meaning Infinite Impermanence won't even be activable) and that way you'll have a totally immortal 10k atk monster. And what about 0 atk and def? Let's just say he's also fiend type. And let's just say the archtype also has a continuous spell wich is practically the main part of the deck. You see, there's a monster called Dark Beckoning beast wich allows you to, when normal summoned, add any card that is or mentions any of the sacred beasts, and once per turn, perform one aditional normal summon only if that card you summon is 0 atk and def (Any of the monsters you should run on this deck) meaning you could easily tribute summon Dark Summoning Beast and automatically summon a sacred beast from your hand/deck. Now, I said that Dark Beckoning Beast allows you to add ANY card that mentions sacred beasts, meaning you can also add the continuous spell I was talking about, called The Seven Spirit Gates Unleashed. What this card does is pretty almost OP. When you activate that card, you add a MONSTER type card that mentions or is any of the sacred beasts (Basically Dark Beckoning Beast but worse, as the monster allows you to also add any magic/trap card too). Then, if you control a lvl 10 monster, once per turn you can add a continuous spell from your gy, and finally, you can, once per turn, discard a card from your card, AND SPECIAL SUMMON A 0 ATK AND DEF FIEND TYPE MONSTER. Oh, what monster is 0 atk and def and Fiend type? Armityle is, for example. Oh, and by the way, if you have a continuous spell on your hand, you can discard it, summon a monster that card can summon and then add it back to your hand if you control a lvl 10 monster, the only downside being Armityle doesn't count as he is lvl 12 and it's lvl 10, not lvl 10 or more To say basically everything way shorter. Nowadays, it's kinda easy to summon Armityle while avoiding to suffer any battle damage, protecting him from most effects, draw 2 cards each turn if you still control him, special summon him from the gy REALLY easily and the only real counter to him being either destroying all your field and then destroying him with an effect, attacking while it's effects are negated or, the best alternative, banishing it with a non-targetting card effect, such as BE Twin Burst Dragon So, if you analyze the card individually, it's pretty bad. If you analyze the archtype, it's a really good card, relatively easy to bring out (thanks to the fusion spell) and both hard to destroy and easy to bring back if destroyed Oh god that was a long text Well... Now I'm gonna say an almost totally unrelated thing. Imagine if Dimension Fusion wouldn't be banned. You summon Armityle and then use Dimension Fusion and in one turn you have all the sacred beasts and Armityle on your field lmao

[@johnwalker1058]

Phew, reading this was quite a relief as someone who recently got their hands on a Sacred Beasts Structure Deck.

[@SWAATSFan]

The summoning restrictions on HERO monsters are the most annoying and worst thing on them and I have that weird feeling that the only reason it happened was because in the anime no opponent of Jaden has ever revived his monsters even though they usually have been the strongest, which is still not a justification at all considering that barely any opponent ever has revived a monster from a main character.

[@four-en-tee]

Marine Neos might be easier to bring out in a Tearlaments HERO build since dumping King of the Swamp clears the extra deck monster name requirement, and that deck runs 3 Swamp to begin with. It would mean that you would have to have Neos in your GY though, so you couldnt always bring it out unless you got Swamp out during an excavation and then used Branded Fusion to dump Neos into the GY to bring out Albion the Branded Dragon, which would require running a small Albaz package.

[@yugiohfan7906]

Even with that build you can't summon marine neos because it doesn't fusion summon and contact fusion is not fusion summon. And yeah contact fusion is unofficial term. But you can use instant contact to bring marine dolphin and somehow have neos on the field to contact fusiom or have neos in your GY to activate miracle contact, or use instant contact and neos fusion to summon marine neos but be sure to special summon before activating Neos fusion, because it's restrictions

[@JABRIEL251]

Depends on the card text. If the card says "This card's name is also treated as "monster name" or "This card's name is always treated as "monster" then yes, you can only have three copies. Harpy Lady is the best example. You have Harpy Lady 1,2 and 3: Because they are always treated as "Harpy Lady", you can only have three copies between them (1 of each, 3 copies on 1, etc). On the flipside "Harpy Queen" is only treated as Harpie Lady on field and gy, so she does not count towards your "Harpy Lady" total. Hope you understand what I'm sayin.

I made a dragon Master Knight deck back in 2014 before most of the Blue-Eyes Support (We still had Maiden and the Searcher stone) it was before I knew more about deck building so it was just a dragon fusion deck that used rituals as well so I could first turn Dragon Master Knight quite a few times with King of the Swamp and BLS, though it was just fun to play tbh.

[@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire]

7:00 I was mulling some ideas to make non-effect ritual monsters relevant again, and this reminds me of an idea from another KZbin video I commented on (I altered the OG comment for here, so they’re _may_ be some writing goofs… I wanted to make a series of ritual/quick play spells that allow you to use non-effect ritual monsters and their proper spell from either your hand or deck, and confer one of three effects: Quick play and/or ritual spell: _Ritual Amplifier Type-N.E, B Series_ (Battle) _Ritual Amplifier Type-N.E, L Series_ (Legion) _Ritual Amplifier Type-N.E, R Series_ (Relinquish) So they all have the same first effect of: _Once per turn, if you have a ritual spell card for a non-effect ritual monster, you may also ritual summon that monster from your deck or graveyard, or if you have the ritual monster in your hand, you may also activate it from your deck or graveyard, but banish it after. After summoning a non-effect ritual monster with this card, you may confer the following effect: (And each ritual amplifier would have one of the three effects tied to it) _(Series B) The ritual summoned monster cannot be destroyed by battle, gains piercing battle damage, its ATK and DEF are increased by each other, and when it destroys a monster by battle it gains ATK/DEF equal to the different in ATK or DEF, and you gain an equal amount of life points (Series L) When you would summon a non-effect ritual monster, you may also summon up to as many non-effect monsters from your hand, deck, or graveyard with an equal level, and make any of them a tuner monster if they are not already such. Non-effect Ritual monsters can be summoned this way, and count as a proper ritual summon. You cannot summon extra deck monsters for the rest of this turn (Series R) When you would summon a non-effect ritual monster, you may instead banish facedown any number of the same monster from your hand, deck or graveyard to either gain LP equal to that monsters level X500, send a card from the graveyard or banish zone back to its owners hand, or destroy one card on the field and send it to either the graveyard or top of the owners deck, per ritual monster banished._ So let’s use the original _Black Luster Solider_ as the example non-effect Ritual Monster (being the highest ATK and level non-effect ritual monster that I am aware of) If we use _Series B,_ It cannot be destroyed by battle, gains piercing damage, both its ATK/DEF become *5500* each, and those stats increase by the difference in the stats of the monster it destroys while you also gain LP the same way (so destroying a zero ATK/DEF monster would give you 5500 LP while effectively doubling Black Luster Soldiers ATK/DEF in a best case scenario, and at 11000 ATK/DEF even heavy weight hitters like ten thousand dragon and armyntile are beaten into pavement lotion the moment they look at you funny)… _pair this with a card that enables multiple attacks💥_ If we use _Series L,_ ritual summoning Black Luster Soldier also allows one to summon up to *5* level 8 non-effect monsters from the hand, deck, or graveyard, of any types or attributes, and make any/all them tuners if I so wished, at the cost of not being able to immediately use them for extra deck plays. So let’s say I summon one BLS and three Blue Eyes, and a final level 8 non-effect monster of your choice, I could, next chance possible, fusion summon a Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon or its other variants, and use dragons mirror to summon a second one immediately after (relevant to this video, I could fusion summon the OG ultimate dragon then fuse THAT with the BLS already on the field for an easy(ish) dragon knight), or go into any number or rank 8 plays, or have any number of high level tuners for synchro shenanigans, or just have a mess of monsters for link plays or just have a sturdy army/wall for battle…. Lot of options basically… And if I use _Series R…_ Well Rituals outside of Yu-Gi-Oh have plenty more uses then summoning monsters, and this taps into the idea of using rituals for other powerful effects. So I could banish facedown any number of Black Luster Soldiers from my hand, deck or graveyard to do any combination of A: increase my LP my each soldiers level X500 (so a respectable 4000 for just the one, or up to a whopping *12000* LP total if I use three BLS for the same effect, easily enough to stall or thwart most OTK attempts), send a card from the graveyard or banish zone back to the owners hand per BLS used, to recoup my own losses or muck up an opponents strategy if they need a key card dead or banished, or just destroy any number of either players cards equal to the number of BLS committed to said effect, and control where they go after destruction. The fact that the BLS’s used in this matter are banished facedown as a cost means it’s harder to abuse this too often.
