This is an Updated Version of the Old Gate Guardian Video now featuring all the new cards that got announced like one month after I made the first video.

A little surprised how long it took for this archetype to get more support. It was pretty iconic and little bummed we never got additional Guardian Pieces. Like a Fire piece, Earth, Dark, etc.

[@Akuma07]

Maybe random archetypes he covers will get more support because he covered them. We can only hope lol

It's nice to not only see Gate Guardian gets support cards but also the Labyrinth cards get upgrades too.

[@aceclover758]

Similar to how Novelles and recipe cards are combined into one archtype, we beee more Lab support. Like a card that allows one to special summon lab wall from the hand or deck, as well as use it as a defensive tank Like it gives it protection effects from card effects so you can only beat it with brute force

[@JohnDoe-gr9kg]

@@aceclover758 hi dude how are you

[@LennyShawn-by3gz]

Fun fact: in some of yugioh video games gate Guardian is treated as a Ritual monster

[@filipvadas7602]

1. I'm genuinely suprised to this day that this and the Yubel archetype weren't a thing like 15 years ago! 2. Credit where its due to the design team to be honest. They took full advantage of how much the game has evolved over the years and took one of the worst boss monsters in its history and turned it into a cohesive, fun strategy with an actual win condition that also doesn't sacrifice the unique flavor of the original monster/s that helped make them so iconic to begin with. Them remastering the Labyrinth/Paradox Brothers cards to also give the deck consistency is *much appreciated*

[@tyrelllowery2074]

I haven’t played yugioh in YEARS. This might be what brings me back. I love the gate guardian cards, and I’ve always wanted to use them. They were just SO BAD!! The new support looks awesome!

[@quisejones7106]

I agree w you 100% my dude, and for that reason I can’t wait till the Phantom Knightmare box comes out so that we can get ahold of the new yubel cards

[@rainbowdragon168]

The Gate Guardian archetype definitely deserved the upgrade it got and it makes the archetype a bit better than before. I like how the Fusions are made up of two pieces and the attack is half of the combined attack of the two pieces they’re made up of. It’s really unique in my opinion

[@joseph86255]

Plus if Gate Guardian Combined is destroyed, you can summon the original Gate Guardian in its place.

[@alexanderrobins7497]

I wish the fusions got one type from one monster, and the attribute from the other to emphasize the fusion was a mix of the two pieces. The way it is now is like one part is completely dominate over the other rather than a collaboration. So close to perfection in my eyes.

[@Ustaleone]

​@@alexanderrobins7497very good observation and point.

[@ThermiteKitty]

This is also how Blue-Eyes Ultimate and a few other fusions are, I like having some logic there.

[@rainbowdragon168]

[@larrytod9790]

I love how Suijin gets completely Screw over in terms of design😂

[@Evixyn]

It is good to see gate guardian finally able to be good and anime accurate.

[@ThePuff18]

Fun fact: the best combination monster (in my opinion) functions very similarly to Anime Gate Guardian: the boss monster of the White Aura fish archetype, White Aura Bihamut. It’s a giant fish with a WICKED high attack, and its card art has two heads. This is represented with this part of its effect: During your turn, when this card is Synchro Summoned: You can Special Summon 1 "Divine Dragon Token" (Fish/WATER/Level 10/ATK 3300/DEF 3000) in Defense Position. Also, it’s got a Hydra-type effect: Once per opponent's turn, while you control no Tokens (Quick Effect): You can Special Summon 1 "Divine Dragon Token". If this card you control is destroyed by an opponent's card effect and sent to your GY, while you control a "Divine Dragon Token": You can Special Summon this card in Defense Position. Seriously, if you are making a WATER deck, try Bihamut out. Even if you don’t use the whole (or any other members) archetype, Bihamut is a BEAST, and since they’ve been getting more support, maybe we can get a whole deck?

[@rsookchand919]

I know Bandit Keith got his modern retrains with Barrel Dragon, but I still want an update for Machine King ( or at least tie it with Nezbitt)

[@SirFailsalot91]

I was so happy to see the support from Maze of Memories, it only made sense to make a monster that's made from other monsters to be a Fusion monster, and the amount of special summons you can make with them can get ridiculous - and the support just making it super easy to summon them was the icing on the cake (unfortunately no Monster Tamer and Dungeon Worm retrains yet.)

[@Practicalinvestments]

Ikr with 2 burial from another dimension’s I got all three copies of combined XD, then thunder and windy search riryoku guardian for an otk 😂💯 when the deck gets shut down it gets shut down but when it pops off it goes brrrrr 🤣

[@PricefieldPunk]

I wish they made a game outta the actual concept of Labyrinth Wall turning a game into like a table top game. That concept always intrigued me.

[@comicfan3133]

there already exists a game where you can move your monsters on the field, which is in some ways similar. it´s yu-gi-oh duelist of the roses. has some nice mechanics. I can definitely recomend it.

[@PricefieldPunk]

@@comicfan3133 PS2 era games are something i havent found emulators for or a working PS2 to play it on lol

[@dreamcream3738]

​@@comicfan3133i think they meant a physical tabletop game

[@noelleholiday61]

​@@dreamcream3738That exists too. In the manga volumes that featured the Meikyu brothers, the last few pages featured a printable version of the Labyrinth Duel field, some cards, and a ruleset

[@homebredpacman9715]

So a very small detail that I find interesting is these new fusions seem to have Kazejin with its limbs intact. Original Gate Guardian Kazejin was just the middle section as just a ball even after it was destroyed in the anime it still remained JUST that ball with a mouth and cheeks , but each of the new fusions you can see his hands or arms still there. I thought it was a cool little detail.

[@Kris2005isMine]

After this video, you're legally obligated to do duel analysis of the two Paradox Brothers tag duels.

[@derpychu3085]

Oh my god, I’ve been a yugioh fan for seven years now, and I’ve never knew Kazejin had eyes.

[@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire]

Ok, so we got retrains for Gate Guardian and various lesser combo fusions between 2 of the 3 components… BUT what we _didn’t_ get were retrains of "Sanga of the Thunder", "Kazejin", and "Suijin", whom all have the shared effect of *_Once while face-up on the field, during damage calculation in your opponent's turn, if this card is being attacked (Quick Effect): You can target the attacking monster; make that target's ATK 0 during damage calculation only._* *_I’d_* personally like to bounce off some retain ideas for each GG component monster that A: Play around with the above original effect, B: Help get the other components out faster, C: Provide some passive support for their respective attributes, and D: Tie into the Paradox Brothers “Labyrinth” archetype: SO, for each of them: _Suijin of the Gate Guardian_ (WATER) Level 7 Spellcaster/Effect _This card's name is always also treated as "Suijin". Can be normal summoned without tributes while you control a face-up “Labyrinth Wall” card. If this card is summoned, or inflicts battle damage to your opponent, you can add 1 Level 7 LIGHT or WIND monster to your hand (from your deck or GY). While this card is face-up on the field, players can use WATER monsters in their hand as tributes for their normal summon/set of a monster. If an opponent’s monster declares an attack: You can decrease that monster’s ATK or DEF by 2500._ ATK/2500 DEF/2400 _Sanga of the Gate Guardian_ (LIGHT) Level 7 Thunder/Effect _This card's name is always also treated as "Sanga of the Thunder". Can be normal summoned without tributes while you control a face-up “Labyrinth Wall” card. If this card is summoned, or inflicts battle damage to your opponent, you can add 1 Level 7 WATER or WIND monster to your hand (from your deck or GY). While this card is face-up on the field, players can use LIGHT monsters in their hand as tributes for their normal summon/set of a monster. If an opponent’s monster declares an attack: You can decrease that monster’s ATK or DEF by 2600._ ATK/2600 DEF/2200 _Kazejin of the Gate Guardian_ (WIND) Level 7 Thunder/Effect _This card's name is always also treated as "Kazejin". Can be normal summoned without tributes while you control a face-up “Labyrinth Wall” card. If this card is summoned, or inflicts battle damage to your opponent, you can add 1 Level 7 LIGHT or WATER monster to your hand (from your deck or GY). While this card is face-up on the field, players can use WIND monsters in their hand as tributes for their normal summon/set of a monster. If an opponent’s monster declares an attack: You can decrease that monster’s ATK or DEF by 2400._ ATK/2400 DEF/2200

[@customcardguy]

Great ideas for retrains. Only thing I'd add for consideration is by having "Gate Guardian" in their names, that makes cards like the new Riryoku and Double Attack significantly more powerful. I imagine Konami intended for those cards to only work with the combined variants given that, particularly in Riryoku's case, can end a game by itself.

[@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire]

@@customcardguy Ok then how about “Sanga of the Crashing Thunder”, “Kazejin of the Roaring Winds”, and “Suijin of the Surging Waters”?

[@customcardguy]

@@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire perfect names

[@joseph86255]

​@@ButFirstHeLitItOnFireThose sound awesome.

[@demonintellect9834]

I assume that Gate Guardian Combined can summon out normal Gate Guardian when it gets destroyed, hence why it said ignoring special conditions.

[@andresmarrero8666]

If there were ever to be a crossover between Yugioh and Pokemon I would love for the Regis to be merged with this archetype. The resulting aesthetic would be awesome.

[@MechaTamago]

I see you are giving your old video legacy support

[@ItsPForPea]

3:35 By the way, the same is true for Blue-eyes Ultimate Dragon also (although the DEF is supposed to be 3750, not 3800) and it *might* be a common theme for fusions back in the early era of Yu-Gi-Oh. I need to fact-check this though.

[@jamesturner6979]

Hopefully Greiger's "Reactor" deck is the next archetype to get this kind of love as assembling the three pieces to summon Skyfire is just as annoying as trying to summon Gate Guardian used to be.

[@spicymemes7458]

I'll never forgive them for what they did to Dark Flattop. I've never been so mad about a card ruling.

[@mystery8820]

@@spicymemes7458 It would be cooler if Flattop can shuffle SKY FIRE into the deck before summoning it. Or if SKY FIRE was retrained to be a Fusion Monster.

[@Wolfboss7]

In my opinion, I think these are some good retrains and support for Gate Guardian the Labyrinth cards. They did an especially good job retraining Gate Guardian itself and the composite fusion forms its three pieces can create, including ones we never got to see.

[@deviancepurplehaze6045]

[@WelshGiraffa]

10 Points for updating the labyrinth series of cards for a second time but -3 points for not doing the entire video in rhyme

[@TachyonEmperor107]

Both Dark Guardian and Dark element were recently confirmed to be released in the ocg

[@ironmuro]

10:17 additional clever thing to note here. The trap monster's ATK matches the English anime's Jirai Gumo rather than the real one because of the 400 damage Joey took for it killing Axe Raider, however it still has the real world one's DEF because the Japanese dub never had a stat to compare for that while the English dub did. Side note, fun personal fact, Jirai Gumo was my first ever card given to me by a total stranger that thought me how to play with his cards when I was a kid.

[@thomasboatright2905]

Honestly I like the idea of updating old archetypes that got a lot of support recently like Dark Magician

[@One_LuvZ]

That tag duel and this archetype are a favorite of mine as a kid. I remember me and a few of my friends who love playing actually handmade the labyrinth wall field so we can play it at one of our places. Eventually making rules and conditions to make playing it. Have to see if any of them still have the pieces to that old collection.

[@nulllex0099]

It's so odd to see at last. Wall Shadow in particular was my favourite monster period, and the maze duel was one of my favourite events too. This is an odd revival of childhood

[@ObiClon]

The duel of Yugi & Joey vs. The Paradox Bros will always be a favorite duel from the series. And I think a large part of that is due to the cards the Brothers played in that duel.

[@demongirl9879]

I love these cards! Been dying to get them in master duel to really give them a go. Now the helilos cards and the guardian cards needs new cards to make them not garbage

[@dakotastein9499]

i like that the two-piece fusions arent just "backups" in case your combined guardian fails,as all 3 of them have very useful effects that,in some situations actually makes them better that GG combined. wind-water in particular is very useful...if you manage to have it as well as GG combined out thats a pretty good desruption wall... a little protip...Magicians souls,fusion deployment and keeper of dragon magic fair well in this deck as they can help get your fusions out turn 1

[@pierrelamart8197]

So happy to see the gate guardian getting a new update, I recently order this new deck !

[@lessituro6637]

10:10 They even gave the Trap Monster the Statline from the Anime with 2100 Attack instead of the 2200 that Jirai Gumo has origially.

It makes me so happy to see my childhood cards get the upgrade they need to stay consistent in this new age of YuGiOh. And they look awesome too!

[@rkur936]

[@RustyHarmonica]

Looking at the Jurai Gumo makes me think about what kind of horror materials the illustrators had back then to draw those monsters because some of them sure are nightmare fuel.

[@Bored_Barbarian]

4:01 OMG they have fusions now? Cool!

[@thelaughingman6975]

With these Duelist Kingdom cards getting retrained, I wanna see Rex get his cards retrained as well as Bonz having Pumpking getting a new form where he doesn't need Castle of Dark Illusioins and instead gets power from other zombies and Castle of Dark Illusioins becoming a field spell that powers Dark monsters as well as shielding them from an attack. Also a new Harpy Sisters card and Harpie Lady 1-3. Harpie Lady Sisters can attack 3 times and is a fusion monster that can be Contact Fusion. Harpie Lady 1-3 dont suffer from the early Harpie Lady Curse of being always a copy of Harpie Lady. And a Orichalchos version of Harpie Lady, Dark Magician, Guardian Eatos, monsters that were under the effects of the Orichalchos to fill up the Orichalchos archetype and a new seal of Orichalchos that if a Orichalchos monster is destroyed or destroyed a monster, it gains a counter and with enough counters allows you to summon Orichalchos Dragon, Leviathan.

[@terrysyvertson9205]

[@maniacalmurderer4123]

An old revamped archtypes that actually considered the possibilities of what happens on the field? Amazing Most of those older card collections that sought to work with each other were often to situational and inconsistent. This archetype actually retains that consistency with synergy in-game. I really hope that we get some labyrinth traps that trigger like Jiri Jumo with the column effects. They could also have references to other cards the paradox brothers used like Magical Labyrinth, Beast Tamer, or Tribute Doll, judgement of Anubis, dungeon worms, worm beast, guardian of the labyrinth. Magical labyrinth could summons “labyrinth wall” as long as you have labyrinth wall shadow in the field zone. Tribute doll could be a continuous trap that prevents Gate Gaurdian and his materials from destruction while also allowing you to summon those materials from the hand or grave. Monster tamer could be a trap that equips to an opponents monster in the same column and allows you to take control of it until the card leaves the field. Worms of the labyrinth (dungeon worms and worm beast) could be a trap card that negates the effects of cards in that column for as long as this continuous trap is on the field, also summoning a worm token to your side of the field each turn. A lot of creativity with this, excited to see where it goes.

[@mikeburnette2190]

Thanks for the video. I do want to point out two things you were off on: The first is Sanga of the Thunder can get a quick tribute off of Kaiser Sea Horse. Second is Metal Raiders was released between 2002-2003. I know because I actually did a near-impossible, pulling a random pack of Metal Raiders, and I pulled Gate Guardian. Needless to say...I had to run out the store, because people were chasing me.

[@enlongjones2394]

Oh I just realized why Labyrinth Wall Shadow stops you from attacking on the turn a monster is summoned unless it’s level 5 or higher. In the anime, monsters could only move spaces up to their level. So, if you treat each zone on the field as 1 space, a monster in your hand moves across the monster zone, EMZ, monster zone, and spell/trap zone, in order to reach your opponent’s space.

[@1stCallipostle]

[@snowboundwhale6860]

It's cool that they're actually making Dark Guardian since it was the most surprising part of Gate Guardian not getting support for so long, since it was literally right there in season 1 of GX, but to this day I do not understand it. Dark Guardian feels like a prime example for weird GX support for DM cards, it goes the "make it DARKer" route, and it only really exists because it's a "stronger" variant of a DM era boss monster that Yugi faced down to serve as "the secret true final boss monster" because we've already seen the original go down before, so they feel the need to have another bigger threat behind the one we've already seen like disney in their twist villain phase. What really gets me though is what a complete departure it is from Gate Guardian. GG is literally 3 monsters stacked on top of each other that somehow couldn't pool enough finances between them to afford a trenchcoat, and so the combined form looks just like it's materials, but you could show a yugioh player who doesn't already know about Dark Guardian a picture of Dark Guardian, tell them it's name, and they probably wouldn't ever draw the connection to Gate Guardian; They'd just as likely connect it to Celtic Guardian thinking it's like a Warrior of Zera development, or Vorse Raider's final form. There's simply no resemblance whatsoever and it's always been really weird to me, it's not even some guy wearing the broken parts of the elemental trio it's just a big drider with armour and an axe. Even dark Element doesn't show anything GG related like Riryoku Guardian, it's just ~some guy~ with a generic gloopy dark aura and a horned skull, this art could be anything from an ATK boost to a ritual spell. That aside the new support is very cool, they nailed the fusions imo, I like the Shadow Ghoul cards and between them and Jirai Gumo they really nailed the flavour of turning the weird anime manoeuvres into actual effects. Shadow Ghoul "diving into the wall" by dumping itself for the search, and hiding in the walls using ambush tactics with the field spell's effect to pop monsters weaker than Shadow Ghoul's original ATK, which itself distracts from how the monster itself also has a one time use pop that doesn't have the stat restriction. Imo the deck is probably the best way to create a "dungeon crawl experience" for your opponent available, the labyrinth preventing low level monsters from attacking the turn they're summoned being akin to them hesitating due to intimidation, and GG is like a climactic dungeon boss with multiple phases that gets built up as they "explore the labyrinth". It feels incredibly fitting given that the DK arc duels were like ttrpg encounters using yugioh cards as prompts and characters.

first booster box i bought had these guys in it and while i may never use them i do like that legacy cards are getting upgrades. i like the art and how they seem to be trying to make these cards fun to use, if not in a comp setting so much.
