That's because the original monarch cards only needed one tribute to bring out and didn't need you to combo them with specific other cards in order to get their effects, which made them much easier to use if you wanted a deck that made use of tribute summoning. Steelswarms, by contrast, seem a lot more restrictive, which hurts them more than it helps, especially since the deck looks to be sorely lacking in ways to consistently get tribute fodder onto the field

He started with the Steelswarm, optimizing them as good as he could (Moth, Girastag, and Hercules were most used tribute Steelswarm).

Their tribute summons aren't terrible; they just need solid ways to reliably bring them out repeatedly.

3:55 I did try steelswarm and actually that card worked fairly well revived from the gaveyard or with double summon. tThe others also work fairly well. The engine is not the problem with Steelswarm, the problem is the high level monsters which just aren't strong enough. Even when you summon them and they do what they are supposed to do the opponent still has enough cards to destroy them or just overpower them. Steelswarm is kind of a unique case where it's a deck that has a clear win condition and functions pretty well for what it's trying to do. However it's win condition just doesn't cut it, you can summon the high level ones fairly reliably but most just don't give enough advantage or hurt the opponent enough to win you the game. Their complete lack of protection also makes their lack of power stick out a lot more.

It's always pained me that Steelswarms are just bad monarchs. I had built a Steelswarm deck years ago and always felt like the design philosophy was so scattershot. There are two decent tribute fodder monsters, and whilst one is an in-archetype treeborn frog, it also stops your other necessary tribute fodder monsters from being special summoned and belongs to an archetype that craves protection effects from backrow since none of the monsters can protect themselves. And then the rest of tribute fodder require extra normal summons. Their tribute monsters' effects, which only activate if you summon them by tributing Steelswarms, have mostly mediocre-to-decent effects that demand you pay lifepoints to activate them (barring Girastag). Gatekeeper is not only bad but is also the only Steelswarm that can't be returned to hand with recurring nightmare (not that you would anyway, it sucks). They have an in-archetype call of the haunted that asks you to pay lifepoints to use it. Why. I'm not running 6 call of the haunted. If I did I'd never get scout on board. To be honest, I think the cards were designed for pre-master rule gameplay. I've often thought about how much better longhorn and Hercules (hell, the whole archetype) would be if they were playable in Edison format, which of course they aren't because they were released in HA05 and onward. Infestation pandemic tries it's best to save Steelswarms but it doesn't matter because all your opponent needs to do is run over them. Also, well done for avoiding demonitisation and/or getting clipped, Dzeef. I really was hoping you'd try to pronounce Caucastag though.

In my opinion, it was better to special summon a cell and then tribute summon Girastag, send what may have been the only monster on the opponent's field to the GY, get a 1,000 LP cushion, and then swing for more damage than you were able to with Mantis. Not every deck was completely combo oriented back then, and, for me, I would rather get a LP gain and send the one single monster to the GY than pay 1,000 to bounce 2. Now, I still play Evilswarm to this day, and I use Steelswarm Origin in that ED. I mean, the combo of using it with Exciton Knight is just awesome; blowing up your opponent's field and being able to actually swarm the field with Lswarms... just awesome!!

This guys need support so baddly, they have sick ass designs, you can use trade in-allure for some draw power, march pf the monarchs for protection, and you can pretty much bite the opponent with rival arrival a retrain of their older tiny guys and the big boys could help them in some way

Steelswarm Neos was a very strong deck for the time. In Duel Links. But still.

wait a tik, does Origin turn Scapegoat into a great tool for deck thinning and field set up? Scapegoat for 4 tokens then a spell that destroys your own tokens in mass at one time so you get 4 evil swarm from your deck... or is that not worth it in the end? I really do not know the Evilswarms good enough to know if that combo does much?

As a evilswarm player yes scapegoat at 3 was broken… but it kinda was for everybody, I’ve definitely done the play that you previously mentioned many times before

@@BrandonJones-ej3zq What did you prefer to search for and what did you use for token slaying? Token Sundae is my guess for spell and the guys that pop on summon for the search guess. Its from that point I am not sure what was done or made.

I think the boss monsters should have been fusion meterials instead of tribute meterials then they might have had a fighting chance

I remember steelswarms because they’re the reason why some cards have effects regarding “lswarm” monsters. This refers to both steelswarm and evilswarm.

This actually funny I tried to make them work a few years ago basically use Monarch cards the monarch card that lets you Tribute on your Opponents turn was like the only Interruption

Steelswarm was a fun meme deck for locals. Also fun to mess around with in Duel Links a year or so ago.

I remember these guys, but I had no idea what they did lol. Steelswarms feel like one of those decks that will get ridiculous support in the future.

since during the tribute summon the last thing that happens is the summon of the monster, doesn't that means caller loses the timing, because it's effect is an optional with when condition, meaning the condition must be the last thing that happens to activate it's effect?
