Why Nobody Remembers Majestic Mechs | Yu-Gi-Oh!

[@Dakki_]

I remember trading Magestic Mech Goryu for Gogiga Gagagigo back in the days in the schoolyard. Clearly the other guy didn't know what he was doing, giving up 50 atk points like that!

[@vicentserrano9268]

Really?! Wow what a noob😂

[@BreauxC]

That level four should have been : "If this card is used as a tribute for a Majestic Mech, that monster is not sent to the graveyard during the end phase" which would let you bypass the restriction of the higher level cards. Still would have been garbage but at least it would synergize

Celestial Transformation is good in Timelord decks because they can't be destroyed by card effects ^.^. I didn't realize that it was part of very obscure archetype that i never heard of. Thought it was just some generic, niche fairy support. So at least one card in the archetype is useful lol.

[@izaiahsundquist6877]

Oh man, I loved this archetype so much as a kid because of the art. I have also been enjoying these "why nobody remembers" series because trying to make gimmicky decks work has always been something I love doing in card games and it reminds me of some of the cards i would try.

[@trueblueryu5713]

So fun fact, at least about Goryu, even though it can be summoned with 1 tribute and sent to the graveyard during the end phase, this cannot occur via the effect of Mausoleum of the Emperor, meaning of you want to summon the card that way, you have to pay 2k. At least that’s how the DS games handled it.

[@azuredragoon2054]

I think it's a ruling with Mausoleum where it must use the base number of tributes for its effect. And you're not actually using monsters either, so if you paid 1000 to normal summon Ohka its effect would still go off because it was normal summoned without a tribute.

[@borisheidenreich1830]

Mausoleum clearly says that it is *not* a tribute summon, MM's specify the tribute summon

[@azuredragoon2054]

@@borisheidenreich1830 Ohka's text: "You can normal summon this card without tributing. If you do, during the end phase; send this card to the GY." It will go off regardless of why it's normal summoned without a tribute. This means "Cost Down", Mausoleum and other cards will not prevent its effect from working. My comment was specific to Ohka. And in regards to Goryu for the same reason: if you use a monster that can treat itself as two tributes, it will still count as only using one monster to tribute summon Goryu and will also send itself to the GY in that case.

[@pyroki9296]

I played Goryu back when I played. The deck I used was more revolving around discarding stronger monsters then bringing them back (I played limited, so I had more options, but yea, deck was more of a gimmick than anything, even though I did have some success with it). So basically I would use him as discard fodder for the most part then use Monster Reborn or something like that to bring him back. Or if the game was about done I might have used him to finish the game, even though I didn't do a lot of tributing with that deck. Sometimes you get fun ideas with these cards when you play more casual, though I know that deck would have been disqualified at a big tournament (or just really bad if I did update it to be tournament legal).

I was actually thinking of picking this deck/cards up again when I started again around 3 years ago. I used to run a fairy swarm that could compete with D.A.D. decks back in the day. But the power creep is real. Its also slow now compared to other decks. But nice throwback, I appreciate this.

[@XionSteel]

seeing this come up on a video is a nostalgia hit for me actually. Before morphtronics i was a fairy player. regularly using majestic mechs, athena, valhalla, then eventually adding in the harolds for a bit of lock down with skill drain or else forcing monsters into def position and then attacking over with goryu, a lot of times into marshmallon stall. My deck you can say as a little dis-proportioned since i was running a bunch of boss fairies but no krystia at the time, but ran 3 honests. Even back then with rogue decks running around i was still seen as weird. Though i hit some pretty fun combos with athena, letting me swap out the mechs that would otherwise sak themselves for ones in the gy that wont at the end phase.

[@BILOUUU59]

These always have been my favourite series! I hope they'll get support one day

[@OtaRyuzaki]

I actually used the one very heavily in the yugioh 5DS DS game. With power decka basically being the meta for it, dropping a 2400 monster actually helped. Making an opponent waste their mirror force/any battle traps mainly. Other than that it made good revival into easy synchro for stardust or red dragon archfiend. Card would never be competitive irl, but in some games it was a good addition when other choices weren't available because you havent opened the pack yet or the game didn't have it.

[@YGOstratPlayer]

Everyone that remembers these seems to remember them from one of the Yu-Gi-Oh video games. But for me it's because one of them was in the xyz symphony starter deck that I bought when it came out.

[@korrafey1044]

Ive known about them forever i like the design i just wish they were better. Like 99.9% of yugioh cards

[@hlundertaker]

I actually remember all of these because I played the video games, and all these are lower rarity than say Cyber Dragon and other alternatives you mentioned. They were pretty good budget option to get a light fairy deck when honest first came out

[@squelto]

I actually currently use the pyro tech mech in a generic fire deck I have right now, and Majestic Mech Goryu was one of the boss monsters along side Guardian Angel Joan in my first "good stuff" deck as a kid. It's not a good card, but I love it! Love the series!

[@platypusfox73]

The Only Majestic Mech card I was familiar with was Goryu since I remember it being in one of the old structure decks as a kid. One Archetype I'd like to see in this series is Chazz Princeton's Chthonian cards.

That's nostalgic. I played Ohka in a chaos beatdown deck I ran back in the day.

The last time I thought about Majestic Mechs was the Xbox 360 Arcade Yugioh Game. The last time I thought about the Pyro Mech was that time I beat Dzeeff in a Battlepack Draft duel with it on the Switch game :D (tho I don't remember if that was the card I used to win, just that it was one I drafted for that deck cuz I liked it in that format). Cool vid as always, genuinely didn't know that lvl 4 (or lvl 8) Majestic Mech existed.

I still have my original copy of a holographic Goryu; it's design was super interesting to me and I loved how the crystals would change color in the light. I think of it sometimes since its name made me wonder why it was a fairy and not a dragon.

[@WhoIsSirChasm]

I distinctly remember Ohka being in some of the early DS games as something that was practically unbeatable, at least in the early game where your deck was, like, Blazing Inpachi toolbox or some nonsense. It would show up, topple whatever you had on the field, and leave everything up to your next draw, and because it was a video game with "Yu-Gi-Oh!" in the name, you never drew what you needed.

[@lamiaprincess6371]

I forgot about the OTHER two mechs, but I remember Ohka when I was looking for good level 6 monsters to play with 3-Axis Fire Fist when Spirit was limited. But yeah, there is also Malevolent Mech - Goku En and Pyrotech Mech - Shinryu as well.

[@DrakeSilver]

i remember seeing these cards for a while back in the day (well except the lvl 4). The cards weren't that bad since we had a bunch of revival cards back in the day. They don't send themselves to the grave when you special summon them so reviving them is pretty good. Also not sure if Valhalla was released back when these cards first came out but that was another way to get around their negative effects. These cards might have not been great but they were fun to play with.

[@DespairMagic]

I lately received a lot of dzeeff recommendations since I kinda got back into yugioh trough the legacy of the duelist video game. And this was recommended to me. It has the usual feeling like every other video of dzeeff. And just now I realized that it's been uploaded like 4 hours ago 😂😂😂 love this dude. He can talk about the last dump of his imaginary dog and I'd still love to listen 😂

[@snowboundwhale6860]

I actually think of these somewhat often just based on the artwork. Their aesthetic is similar to some of the counter fairies, like Bountiful Artemis and Guiding Ariadne, as well as some other fairies like Banisher of the Radiance, and I quite like the art design of these crystalline mecha-angels.

[@TrueNomadSkies]

Only one I actually used or really that I remember anyone playing was the Malevolent Mech Goku En in light zombies, but that was released quite a bit later. It had lots of utility with zombie support including Pyramid Turtle and Plaguespreader Zombie. The deck also made very good use of Honest, Skill Drain, Royal Oppression, as well as Creature Swap, and probably wouldn't have existed without Goku En given how well it tied the elements together.

[@eli507]

An important thing to remember, in every TCG not just Yugioh. Count the "Ifs". If i have a monster to tribute, if I still have my normal summon, if my opponent has a monster in defense position, if that damage dealt is enough to win the game. What makes or breaks a card (and archetype) often comes down to how many ifs are needed for a win condition. It's why one of my favorite archetypes in yugioh will never be competitive. Skull servant, by it's very nature, is a deck filled with dead draws. using wightprince effectively mandates at least 4 garnets in the deck, which is 1/10th of said deck.

[@fabianalfaro]

Dude, Ohka was one of my firsts cards, I really loved it's design

[@persephone5023]

Celestial transformation is actually alot better in Timelords than it is with that archetype.

[@_Vengeance_]

Funniest thing about Senku is that Masked Sorcerer already existed years before. For just a measly 100 less ATK, it stays on the field (and sure, this means your opponent has a good shot at taking down some of your LP, but the benefits far outweigh that). On top of that, for the draw to occur the damage it deals doesn't have to be a direct attack either: its effect also triggers if it attacks a weaker ATK monster or if it's attacked in defense position by a monster with less than its DEF, which is 1400.

[@LunarWingCloud]

I remember playing these cards in World Championship 2008 on DS. Never again after that

[@A88mph]

Wrong Dzeeff! I remember them, because Ohka is a mainstay in my Synchro Deck! Set Shiba Warrior Taro turn 1, summon Ohka turn 2, and BAM! Stardust. No one expects that combo, and its won me many duels.

[@honeyboyify]

It seems as konami gave them indirect support with the parshath link 3. it has an effect, which triggers, if a face up fairy is sent to the graveyard. (remember their effects activate, when summond their way) You can banish a fairy to summon a fairy from your hand with a higher level (summoning a higher mech and bypassing it's end phase restriction)

[@eightteentwo]
