I Gave Every Yu-Gi-Oh GX Character a New Deck!

What if the Yu-Gi-Oh GX anime characters played modern Yu-Gi-Oh decks? By popular request, I've decided to go through all the main characters in Yu-Gi-Oh GX and give each of them a new deck that they might play today! Let me know what you think each character would use, too! I also did the same for the original Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters cast! - • I Gave Every OG Yu-Gi-...

*Alright, I'm certain I missed some super obvious modern deck pick for at least one of these Yu-Gi-Oh GX characters, so lay it on me!* 👇🏾 Modern Decks for original DM characters - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpWaiY15iNSLrq8

[@nathanaelgann9894]

I'm not gonna lie I'm surprised you forgot to mention Atticus rhodes, alexis's big brother. What deck would you give gx's residents red eyes player? 🙂

[@xenoexe4954]

LETS KEEP IT ROLLING WITH 5ds!!!

[@Red-Rebel]

Some other decks that Jaden could play are Inzektor, Bujin, and Vanquish Soul. Though it's a stretch to call the first two modern decks, they all have a colorful cast of monsters like Heros. For Syrus, Geargia and Wind-Up have the goofy machine aesthetic like Vehicroid. Alexis could probably play something like Swordsoul or Voiceless Voice. Mikanko might be a decent deck for Blair to use as a modern equivalent for Maiden In Love. And Crowler could play Machina due to the similar aesthetic of "militaristic machines with beefy mechs as their boss monsters". Citadel even has the same attribute and attack as Golem.

[@KachiKochiDragon]

@@Red-Rebel I second Jaden with bujin, if only because Yamato is designed after him

[@obtainedzero7945]

I think Alexis really fits with the voiceless voice. The fact they are light fairy is the main monster, it plays alot of the herald cards and has this protect the castle feel which feels very similar to her playstyle where everything is to protect lo

[@Lord_Nexus14]

I would have lowkey gave Syrus the rescue-ace deck not gonna lie.

[@jbmlk]

😅

[@TeamAPS]

OH MY GOODNESS IT'S PERFECT! That one completely slipped my mind and now I'm so mad I forgot it! 🤦🏾‍♂

[@scorpiophoenix2778]

I would maybe think Geargiano honestly

[@slosh7072]

I give Syrus Springans

[@kyleken8383]

I would save rescue ace for Leo in 5Ds maybe?

[@spicymemes7458]

Bastion and Mathmech is the biggest "no shit" of the whole video

[@jbmlk]

no shit

[@Ragnellrok]

Seems so antithetical since mathmech is the biggest "throw everything on the board and see what sticks" and bastion has always been a more calculated duelist

[@Krownyh]

@@Ragnellrok Which is why I think Invoked suits him more, both in theme and playstyle

[@lizardgames900]

@@Krownyh I've been doing something similar to this with the GX characters, revamping their decks while still keeping the fusion focus of GX. Invoked was probably the best one for Bastion from what I've found. It suits him really well tbh.

[@chazzitz-wh4ly]

Way better than the garbage he actually ran. I think even for that era, anything was better than that.

[@MOKIRITCG]

So for Jaden, I always thought a world chalice deck would suit him pretty well. A deck with heroes who combine to become stronger extra deck monsters. Instead of meeting the Neo Spacians during the society of light arc, he could’ve met the Mekk-Knights instead. Instead of evil heroes, he would have the Knightmares.

[@TeamAPS]

Oh my God yes! Very well thought out idea, I can't believe it just went over my head lol

[@MOKIRITCG]

@@TeamAPS Thanks! I only thought about world chalice because I was trying it out recently.

[@docmac9474]

If that’s the case , then Yubel would have an orchest deck to reflect Jaden’s Chalice story

[@SonicLion2]

This deck would really suit well with an anime protagonist.

[@amamiyaharuto8407]

Very clever

[@Anotherbaka999]

Since you gave drytron to zane, a good fit for syrus would be ursatic Is the "lesser" brother of drytron, more gimmicky rather than powerful, with cuter visuals (specially on the bosses) There's even a weird fusion monster between both decks

[@Flameville]

Perfect!!!

[@shadowspider9]

Blair later evolves her deck to mainly run a Charmer deck. So her deck type is basically cute girls who gain strength from each other. I think Witchcrafter would suit her.

[@soukenmarufwt5224]

She's plays Lightsworn in Tag Force 3 which is infinitly better. Also, Judgement Dragon being the best replacement for the out of date Mystic dragon card in the anime

[@IamJerf]

She does play Charmers in Duel Links and calls out their names when she summons them which is pretty neat.

[@brony4869]

Onee of my favorite yugioh gx fanfictions has blair using Dragonmaids

[@jamesstone404]

I really wanted Jaden to have Super Quants like the thumbnail suggested.

[@Medbread]

Would work really well considering they're based off Sentai, and in the manga he even uses a deck based around the brother show to Sentai, Kamen Rider

[@DanALones]

The thumbnail just to bait our comment maybe

[@scorpiophoenix2778]

​@Medbread Inzector has those Kamen Rider vibes too but not warriors

[@Zetact_]

Syrus I think would work with Gold Pride. It just feels right. I actually would give Chazz Spright as his "main" deck. A big part of why he shuffles his decks around but keeps Ojama as a core is because of their versatility and ability to splash in his other strategies, and Spright seems up his alley since it can be combined with "literally any set of Level 2 focused decks." And it keeps his Thunder themeing. Alexis I would probably go for Mikanko, a large part of her GX decks are that she has some cards that are based on dancing and gymnastics but the Cyber Angels are Ritual monsters based on Shinto gods. So why not Mikanko, a Ritual Deck that is based on Shinto priests and involves dancing? Blair just for the Tag Force reference is mandatory to play Lightsworn. Banner being all about alchemy I could see getting Eldlich, since that also is an alchemy deck. Or Invoked could work if the concept is to match his ideal of being an occultist seeking knowledge, and you wanted to focus on a versatile strategy with multiple attributes. Darkness, I want to say Shaddoll. In terms of his philosophy of individualism bringing suffering, play style involving set cards, and in-story abilities of possession, Shaddoll seems like a good fit.

[@Dont_know_what_to_name_it]

I kinda dont understand gold pride for syrus but i agrée on shaddoll for Darkness

[@walterlopez5054]

also, Chazz's title in the japanese dub is Manjyome THUNDER. he would absolutely play that up with Thunder Dragons.

[@TeamAPS]

🌩️

[@hmafussel94]

I feel like lightsworn would be perfect for sartorius. the light theme fits very well and the mill aspect could be tied to some destiny/terror card reading things

[@Gebirges]

and when he turns "mad" or "madder" he goes into the state of twilight; great fit

[@francescogirardello9250]

I think Spellbook would be a good pick too, since the Prophecy monsters are also based on the tarot cards

[@salihhtamer]

@@Gebirgesyeah when ı read this comment, I think exactly like u

[@soukenmarufwt5224]

Blair played Lightsworn in Tag Force 3

[@nav3346]

Thought Yubel should've gotten the "Memento" Deck. For Jaden, it might be odd but I think he'd run a Chaos deck. Both light and dark aspects of him, while aslo getting to do alot of crazy stuff!

[@ThaLedg]

I was considering Memento for Jesse. Their playstyle is a little similair with them being able to pop eachother and themselves with the endgoal of getting 5 in the GY instead of 5 in the S/T zone to summon their Big Boss monster. They also have their own coloured gems coming out of them and Ghattic can be his new Carbuncle. Design wise however, they don't really match that Well but they look threatening but their Lore shows they're just creatures that most their memories and just hang out and party together, Meanwhile Jesse doesnt look like a threatening duelist but very much is one. So they are kind of the opposites of eachother which sounds cool

[@fakename2890]

Ancient Warriors would be very entertaining and flashy. Creatively finding solutions and ways around any villain of the weeks decks as well as adapting to and out playing the rest of the cast's various styles of play. They also would fit Jaden's honorable hero's journey/story arc style and personality. Every game would feel unique and fun to watch.

[@TheClearSummer]

Aww I love Ancient Warriors!

[@lilsunny7399]

the fact you didn't think of Prophecy for Sartorius hurts me inside. It's literally based on the same theme of the major arcana.

[@jarco1121]

Eh probably is because the deck is not modern enought. Also i think having Sartorius deck being composed of mind controlling aliens makes a lot of sense with all the light of destruction (or whatever is called in english) stuff

[@justsomedangerbigfootwithweb]

@@jarco1121 What about a mix of those and Pendulum Magicians?

[@tdpmaze]

Those belong to Kev Ravenwood from Arc-V

[@TeamAPS]

Yeah, this actually makes a lot more sense now that I think about it!

[@Animefan8050]

Perfect choice. The arcana is the means by which all is revealed, after all.

[@larhyperhair]

Judai would absolutely play tearlament because it's got "miracle" top decks, fusion from the graveyard, and an answer to every game state, just like how Kaiser Ryo tells him the heroes have "infinite potential"

[@pascalschroeter123]

Why that ? He would play to 100% Omni Heros xD Its strong , can easy beat meta instead of every others. Ore the New Yubel Deck

[@larhyperhair]

@@pascalschroeter123 I believe the purpose of the thought experiment is to think of a modern meta deck with a similar playstyle as the characters deck, but that is notably NOT the deck they play in the anime/manga

[@KhanhNguyen-mh5ec]

Kaiser: Don’t make me pull out my full power Kashtira

[@themantyf1116]

Bastion wrote equations on cards, he would definitely go for Mathmechs. And thunder dragon is perfect for Chazz when you consider that in japanese there is kind of a thing with "Manjoume thunder".

[@masonschmid2329]

I never thought about Drytron being Zane’s deck but that does make a lot of sense. Bc of the card design of the Tenpai dragons, and that they’re a going second beatstick heavy deck, I had an idea that Zane would play Tenpai. Also I really wish Cyber Dragon got support in Duelists of Brilliance. Oh well…

[@TheSilentGM]

Unchained actually fits Yubel super well in my opinion. Great vid as always

[@silvertongue-242_99]

Thunder dragon feels right for a Chazz serious deck. But I definitely was thinking sky strikers for Alexia surprised you picked that!

[@bombodogless3922]

I think Blair Flannigan's best deck would be Mikankos as they are all about taking control of opponents monsters and using equip cards I really like the libromancer pick for Jaden tho great video!

[@azurelionheart]

Fur Hires also come to mind for either Jaden or Jesse; I’ve always found the card art for them to have a lot of personality as if you could see each one of them being a Duel Monster Spirit, and Beat (or Filo) specifically feel like they occupy a similar “cute small monster mascot” niche to Winged Kuriboh or Ruby Carbuncle. Plus, their strategy really pushes swarming the field and obtaining beneficial effects from being together, so they really feel fitting towards Jaden/Jesse’s ideas of friendship and teamwork.

[@salltukin7441]

I was just gonna comment on this! At least Jesse seems more likely to run a fur hire deck (totally not biased as my main deck is in fact, fur hires)

[@ghost_rain1996]

I love that you guys give them completely brand new decks instead of just 2024 upgrades to the decks that they have in the anime like other channels. Really great work, guys. 💚👍🏾👏🏾

[@gabrielfeldinger6533]

I genuinely appreciate how you take the effort and go the extra mile to figure out what deck they'd play instead of just going with the easiest copout answer anyone could come up with

[@Gebirges]

Alexis would get Ursarctic and Drytron from me. She has that Cyber-Theme with her original Deck, so some more Machines and Ritual Monsters that go into the future with Synchro's fit really well.

[@larhyperhair]

Darkness, the big final boss, used a basically all trap deck, and would set 5 every turn with a 0 and Infinity and card, I definitely think lair of darkness is fitting but I would almost prefer if he could use some of the ZARC stuff, since he's supposed to be a manifestation of everyone's self doubts and existentialism about the future

[@RailwayFalcon]

Banner's overall theme is alchemy, which means his best match would be Eldlich - the Eldlixir cards reference the same alchemical process some of his anime-only cards do, plus being zombies nod towards his inproperly-alive status.

[@robertbauerle5592]

Imagine if Konami took an actual game from a YCS or worlds or something, and gave the two decks to a couple characters and went and fully animated the entire duel. Like imagine a full power spright vs tearlament matchup, or the dragon link vs swordsoul game of 2023 worlds. Even if it's just one game from the match, that'd be so sick imo.

[@7thHourFilms]

Shame that there probably won't be Modern Deck vids on Zexal, Arc-V or VRAINS since Paul and Alec have admitted to not watch much of those shows... Totally unrelated video series idea for APS Amplifier: Paul and Alec react to Zexal, Arc-V and VRAINS! (If it's too much, I'll settle just for Zexal since it's peak)

[@JohnBluemon]

The only thing that I would change is for Sartorius to have Spellbooks/Prophecy. Your uploads always bring a smile to my face. Thank you.

[@babadoetwitch]

Hey Paul, would love to see an Ashened deck duel! A bunch of us Dark Souls fans got interested in yugioh again because of the really cool theme. Keep up the great work guys!

[@okanut]

I love these picks! Also thank you for playing the Amber Mammoth clip. 😂

[@monkeygrip2412]

I got started into Yugioh recently because my girlfriend played long ago. So I chose ancient warriors and only playing them. They're such a beautiful and wonderful archetype. Thanks for adding them into this video! I'm biggest Ancient Warriors fan!

[@caseyking5441]

That intro though haha. Staring right into my soul.

[@thenotoriousm.a.g.4156]

So much thought went into this. Really enjoyed the video!

[@LKPrime]

I really like the idea of Chumley using Melffys. Especially with their very pastel watercolor-ey art style and Chumley's affinity for card art/design.

[@thetruedaoster8863]

Such a neat concept :)

[@matthewblue1158]

NGL I love how incredibly knowledgeable you are about yugioh overall but I just like hearing your voice say nerd things I love thanks for being you and making videos

[@steel5897]

If they make another Legacy of the Duelist type game, it'd be awesome if they had "challenge decks" like this for every character, like they did in that game but more competitive.

[@blunk778]

I wish, master duel makes too much money

[@lonhia]

I kinda like Heroic Champions deck for Judai. Especially since he loves dueling with less than 500 life points most of the time lol. Also has a high chance for OTK and when Judai came back from fusing with Yubel he had a couple of OTKs. Also Heroic has Hero in it lol.

[@maskpenn9443]

I really like this idea, it makes me wanna see a short anime series of the previous Protagonists doing this

[@Kaiyou1691]

Awesome!! Looking forward to the inevitable 5Ds video lol

[@salihhtamer]

I don’t know why but Eldlich is came up my mind when u mention ancient golem. I think crowler can use eldlich, he also use trap monster like stuff and he have his ace fusion card.

[@Driger1792]

Love these types of videos

[@capman42]

I was thinking Libromancer worked for Jaden, and I think that giving Aster a ritual deck makes that a stronger pick! I feel like a case could have been made for Syrus to get Infinitrack and for Crowler to get something else, but I admittedly can't think of something better for Crowler, so it's whatever. If you want to keep the Tarot theme for Sartorius, you could give him Prophecy/Spellbook!

[@bluengold3443]

Let syrus play ANY deck at this point. Vehicroids are such an unserious and unthreatening group of monsters lol

[@backtothepoolture6453]

I think that another Deck for Sartorius that could technically work is Spellbook, since their monsters are also named after Tarot cards, like the Arcana Force

[@ericbreese3071]

Great sound editing to include the GX soundtrack in the video

[@Pretendbreadboi]

I wold give Jaden a modern ninja deck

[@andrewmunoz8714]

This is the earliest I’ve been

[@themaskedeconomist8404]

I think Paleozoics makes more sense for Jim because they are basically fossils as well. I like your picks alot. Also Bastion has played Magnet Warriors at some point. So he could have modern magnet warrior/ABC? Not sure about that one

[@ferencanka6142]

I think you guys are awesome, by the way. I'd love to see you some more duels.

[@krhodes866]

Jessie could also play snake-eyes with flamberg dragon replacing crystal beast dragon and the mechanic of putting cards in face up spell and trap zones like the crystal beasts

[@thomascarson4677]

honestly im surprised you didn't give Blare Dragonmaids tbh. Using powerful maids that then turn into dragons just seems right to me. And they are fusions so totally fits GX's theme

[@Zetact_]

It would sorta fit with the egg deck she apparently was supposed to use in later seasons but just didn't because she didn't really duel at all.

[@SargeWolf010]

Hopefully this series continues I'm enjoying it

[@OlaAremu]

Keep 'em coming bro

[@w2heck]

Sartorious' best choice imo is Qli, they're based on Kabbalah iirc and that was the same base for the Arcana, if I'm remembering Persona 3 right lmao. They also have that final boss vibe and godly being aesthetic. Apoqliphort Towers felt like a legit anime boss whenever I had to take that down back in the day.

[@justabucketoftrashtv1097]

I immediately thought of vernasylph for jesse, i think it fits him while also having a big payoff similar to crystal beasts, not very thematically related but more playstyle related

[@beaviermcbeaverman8849]

For 5Ds Yusei- Visas Starfrost Jack- Snake-Eyes Aki- Fire Kings Crow- Floowandereeze Leo- Dinomorphia Luna- Vaalmonica Kiryu- Runick (it's just like hell) Sherry- Quit the game because her favorite card got banned

[@Cr4z3d]

Lmao, that last one

[@BranMaddox]

I'd have love to see everyone's updated deck being ran. This works too

[@residentgrey]

Jim Cook can also go in to the reptile side for another deck. It would be nice for Shirley to even be truly in card form too, because does "Dark Alligator" truly reference her? I still use it in my DL decks with Whip Snake and Swingobra for triggering its token summon effect.

[@master-of-dreams7455]

I would like to throw Memento into the ring as a contender for Chazz's deck because of the times when he used both an underworld-related deck (Mementos are based in the Aztec afterlife with their boss cards) and the times when he was relying on "junk" cards to win duels since Memento is based almost entirely on vanilla monsters that have been thrown to the wayside.

[@megaclasse]

I really liked the hypotheses, it would be cool if you posted the decks for us to test. I love the videos on your channel

[@sovest555]

11:13 I actually use a Madolche deck on Blair in Duel Links, even though her only skill support is for her Maiden in Love archetype ftmp. So that just feels the best fit imho.

[@sovest555]

As an aside, I have an Evilswarm deck for Yubel, so...

[@yanoriff8744]

Ahhhhhh thank you for doing this. This is my favorite series. 🥰

[@professornervegrates6268]

I was thinking Rescue Ace for Cyrus and Voiceless Voice for Alexis. And actually, Memento fits Chazz since he gathered everyone else's thrown-away cards.

[@TeamAPS]

Yeah Rescue Ace was the perfect fit and it totally slipped my mind. And I play the deck myself 😭

[@professornervegrates6268]

@@TeamAPS xd hey we cant expect anyone to think of every deck on demand.

[@faereman]

Going for Armed Dragon (Thunder) to Thunder Dragon is such a perfect fit.

[@rachvx]

2:58 - Saying that bastion probably would play mathmech feels so right man, it just makes so many sense that no one could tell you that you are wrong. (Also mathmech is my favorite deck so i jsut happy to see them in the video)

[@Edanite]

When you started talking about Alexa I immediately thought Sky Striker's. Seeing the same conclusion a minute later made me happy, lol.

[@232Skull]

Dr Banner, when he finally dueled, had an alchemist vibe to him. I feel like spell counter or spellbook would be a cool deck, cause they are both themed around magical study and alchemy is kinda like that.

[@owenbas3371]

Cant wait for the 5DS episode!!

[@ultimateshadeofwar]

Regarding some of the choices. Judai/Jaden's whole thing is a kid/teenagers growing into an adult. So Ancient Warriors fit this, they fit an kid/teenager growing into an adult, with first being attract it because they are cool, and later on because they represent what he believes. Sho/Syrus, ironically, i think that the Rescue-Ace fit him, not because they are powerful, but because they fit him trying to be helpful but initially not knowing how and slowly but surely grows into it. Johan/Jesse ironically, i do think that Crystrons fit him, because the small monster of it do fit with it. They fit with the idea of the crystal beast, then Purrley. Because his thing is family and family helping each other to be better(Synchro) fits with him, reason to why the Crystal Beast stay on the S/T zones. Saoi/Sartorius no, Lightswarn, especially having in mind season 4, where they Twilight version of them fits him too.

[@markmorales7958]

And like Vendreads, the Edgey Anti-Hero will be put down to the ground faster than you can say “what the r f***?!”

[@emissaryofcharybdis105]

Woohoooo Lair of Darkness mention! Final boss energy, I love it. There's actually a vast number of tribute-based spells and traps, so Lair can get very vicious with even the modern meta.

[@samanderson1188]

In alternate universe where GX’s main mechanic was ritual summoning. Jaden with Libromancers, Zane with Drytron, Alexis with Cyber Angels or Voiceless Voice, Syrus with Magikey , Chazz with Ruin & Demise or BLS or Nouvelles, Bastion with Megalith, Aster with Revendread, Jessie with Nekroz. It fits well imo.

[@shinypony92]

I saw that Amber Mammoth coming and i still almost spat out my drink lol

[@ShayneO-cj9yz]

I agree Jaiden would run elementsabers, but it misses the fusion part of the e-heroes. So I think his “neos” upgrade would be the invoked archetype (although I could also see that being the supreme kings’s deck with the using other’s cards maybe with a kaiju base to the deck.)

[@Auroragoon]

i would love to see this for every main cast up to Vrains but PLEASE make a video like this for YGO 5Ds!!

[@Hc2p3n4t4rp]

Fun fact, Vendread story takes place in hero city, were the E-Heroes and the others are

[@PolluxTheBat]

I think that Professor Banner would definitely play Invoked. The banished theme is still there, along with the concepts of the occult

[@backtothepoolture6453]

For Yubel, other possibilities I thought were Infernoids, Lswarms, and maybe Fabled, but I feel like, similar to Pegasus in my comment on the DM video, Dream Mirror could maybe work too, mostly cause it kinda 'reflects' on how Yubel turned the people it possessed into Dark versions of them or something, idk

[@josealfredotirado5934]

For Sartorius i will go with the Prophecy/spellbooks archetype. Both the prophecy and the arcana force are based on the tarot cards. Besides with his hability to see the future or make "prophecies" is quite fitting

[@ljnkrabby]

I’m actually writing a fanmade Yugioh series that’s a sequel to GX. Here’s the Decks everyone plays; Protagonist; SPYRAL Best Friend; Mekk Knight Invoked Supporting Friend; Shaddoll Invoked Strong Female; Lunalight Rival; Dinos

[@M3rtyville]

Blair would probably play Madolche or other cute stuff. During her second showing she used a Mystic Deck and in the games she just played Lightsworns.

[@adampaterson5132]

I know this isn't about a yugioh gx character but as i was thinking as i was watching. if you were to do this with 5ds. To me a perfect fit for Jack Atlas woukd be the new tempai dragon deck from legacy destruction. Cause there all dragon types monsters. Their fire attribute which goes with his personality and when he summon his scar red nova dragon in the dub. he talks abour his raging/burning soul which intertwins with the fire atrribute of the archetype. Plus jack's agreesive, always wanting to attack, confidence and his ego espically in the first half of the season fits well with tempai dragon agressive, beatdown and constant attacking fits him the best. Thoughts?

[@bigc5090]

I feel like the Evolsaur archetype was made specifically to emulate Hassleberry's playstyle, he loved evolving winged beasts and reptiles into dinosaurs

[@VoicesOfChaos]

For Axel, I feel like Igknights really fits his theme. Probably weird to give him a Pendulum archetype but he is a later season character so having a different gimmick seems fine. Alexis is now known for Cyber Angels since they were printed much more recently but for a lot of the series her ace was Cyber Blader and she used female athletes. So I think U.A. fits her in a weird way. The 5Ds manga and onward would have characters use the same archetype but different cards but GX was more experimental and would have characters use totally different archetypes so I appreciate calling out Bastion's yokai deck. Jessie played an Insect deck and Jim played an Alligator deck. So it is kind of interesting to think about what their upgraded decks would be too.

[@archmagekyle]

I think the Libromancers would've made more sense for Jaden. It's like an alternate timeline where he chose a different comic to read (in terms of that theme)

[@darkpendulumsystem]

Can't wait to see what you do with arc v characters

[@SlayerMantis]

I love the channel and have been watching on and off for years. One of the things I have noticed is with the structure deck duels, a lot of them are very one-sided. That is pretty much to be expected. However I would like to present an idea. What about Theme-Decks. It takes the concept of the Structure Deck, but gives the duelist more control. Since some of the support cards are not great, You could probably cut those cards out and have more general use cards in their place as well as maybe removing some of the Ban List cards just to keep it interesting. I actually had a few ideas for a few Theme decks. I am a bit of a Normie especially when it comes to Blue-Eyes, but here we go. Blue-Eyes Shining X1 Blue-Eyes Ultimate X1 Blue-Eyes Twin X1 Blue-Eyes White Dragon X3 Lord of Dragons X1 Flute of Summoning Dragon X1 Melody of Awakening Dragons (X1) (Fusion card.. Polymerization/Fusion Reserve/Fusion Substitute/Dragon's Mirror) X2 Some way to Unbanish/Recover Blue-Eyes cards. X2 Maiden with Eyes of Blue X2 White Stone of Legend X1 White Stone of Ancients X1 Kaibaman X1 King of the Swamp X1 Mausoleum of White X1 Beacon of White X1 White Dragon Ritual X3 Paladin of White Dragon X3 Trade In X1 Negate Attack X1 Megamorph X1 Silent Doom X1 Ancient Rules X1 Cyberstien X1 That give you 26 or so cards to build around the Blue-Eyes Arch type that don't really fit the Arch-type, but would be great general support for the Arch-type itself. I would like to see that against a good Dark Magician deck. Magician of Black Chaos X1 Sorcerer of Dark Magic X1 Dark Sage X1 Dark Magician X1 Buster Blader X1 Dark Paladin X1 (Fusion Card X1) Dark Magician Girl X1 Time Wizard X1 Magical Cylinder X1 Spellbinding Circle X2 Thousand Knives X1 Magicians Circle X1 Magical Dimension X1 Magicians Unite X2 Eternal Soul X1 Sages Stone X1 I would also like to see a Red-Eyes deck with the Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon as its boss monster go against the Blue-eyes themed deck I mentioned earlier. I got out of the game a very long time ago and have no desire to start back up. I didn't keep the cards I had. Any way, what prompted me to write this out was one of your more recent uploads dueling with the Yugi/Joey/Kaiba Legendary Decks 2. I got that same box for just over 30$. I got it for the Nostalgia and I wanted to realize my childhood dream of owning the God Cards as well as Exodia. As much as these cards are Nostalgic, those decks as you said are all over the place.

[@RodvickRid]

The Tag-Force music brings me back.

[@xatuyou8045]

In the tag force games Blair played a lightsworn deck. Judgment dragon fits the deck that she used against Chazz. I could even see Jaden giving her a necro gardna because it works so well with her strategy. So tearlament would be a perfect fit.

[@IamJerf]

She also plays Charmers in Duel Links

[@cedwardcutts5797]

I was actually thinking Graydle for Blair. The graydle monsters are relatively cute, and they share a similar playstyle to maiden in love of using your opponent's stuff against them.

[@ericbreese3071]

I like the Vendread choice for Aster. Fits him well

[@andrewfirth9858]

Interesting thing about prank kids and thunder dragons, they have some synergy. The level 4 prank kid banishes from hand and draws 1, which can trigger thunder dragon effects. One of the best ways to summon the thunder dragon link 4 is through prank kids, since you can get a link 2 thunder and a thunder prank kids, and since you go through the line which banishes from hand, often you will have a thunder dragon somewhere. It’s kind of a shit card but like. Idc it’s fun.

[@andrewfirth9858]

Also I’ve always wondered what thunder dragon colossus in an anime would be like just sitting on a floodgate

[@KhanhNguyen-mh5ec]

You could have done Sotorious and the Spellbook deck. They also have the tarot card thing going on too

[@dandragon8595]

Can't wait to see your 5D's picks.

[@dennismaldonado201]

I can easily see Jaden playing Vanquish Soul, since the monsters are essentially fighting game characters, which compliment the Elemental Heroes who are comic book characters.

Another off the wall choice for Jaden would be Live Twins - they have that gamer/comic motif of the Elemental Heroes but with more of a Link utility.

This may sound weird, but I think Dream Mirror might work for Sartorius with his whole "Light and Dark" thing.

These were definitely some amazing new modern decks for the GX crew. Can’t wait to see what new modern decks for the 5Ds crew.

I can see Alexa using a an ice barrier dragon deck since she did use one similar when she went through the whole white light form.
