Yu-Gi-Oh! - Ghostrick Archetype

[@Yugiohfans11]

Ghostrick's playing style usually centers around immobilizing (I.E., scaring) the competition rather than attempting to overpower them. The ideal Ghostrick goal in a duel is: "you have all these great cards, but you can't use them because you're scared."

[@OniMalco]

Now-a-days we see cards that send and get over this with the talker link cards along with anything that includes "send 1 target card an opponent controls to the grave" or "tribute to special summon onto the opponents board" in some capacity.

My all time favorite Archetype in Yugioh for their designs and playstyle. I love that they're made up of low level monsters but can still kick ass if you underestimate them. The mental image of a boss monster being stopped by cute Halloween monsters is hilarious. I still feel that they need a proper boss monster though. I'd love to see an upgraded evolution of Angel Of Mischief that keeps the win con similar to Gimmick Puppets. They may not be the best, but I've loved them since day 1 and that won't change anytime soon.

what they need is a proper setup/opening play

I miss my ghostly boys and girls so much! I can’t even play them casually because links just break the decks core function so bad haha

[@deanoor9391]

I love Ghostricks so much that I incorporated a bunch of shenanigans within the walls of their mansion. I made a mystic mine ghostricks deck and a Egyptian God Ghostricks deck that I just call EGGS I've been playing them ever since they first released and I'm super excited for their new support

[@Sleepy0173]

For Jack O' Lantern, there is a Zeltic legend about an old man named Jack that was infamously evil and dangerous. He lived in the middle of nowhere halfway into a long road that connected the South and North of I don't remember what country. Very much a god forsaken wasteland but travelers couldn't go by without passing by. When he was scheduled to die, the devil paid him a visit to claim his soul, yet Jack pranked him asking for a last favor before leaving: the retrieval of something important to him that was atop a tree. When the devil climbed up, Jack filled the surroundings with holy stuff (crucifixes, holy water, stuff like that). This allowed him to strike a deal with the devil where he'd live some more years and be left alone in exchange of letting the devil go. Years passed by and the time came once again for a devil visit. This time Jack was at a bar and asked for a last beer. Jack propossed to have the devil turn into a coin to pay for it so they'd get away with free beer. The devil liked the idea and followed through, but Jack put the coin in his pocket next to a crucifix and paralized the devil. This time, the devil promised Jack would never go to hell, and left for good. Some years passed by again and Jack inebitably passed away. Upon arriving at the doors of heaven, god told him he was a bad man and could not be allowed into heaven, redirecting him to hell. Over at hell's door, the devil told him he wasn't allowed into hell as per their agreement. This meant that Jack's soul could never rest in peace. As an act of pity towards Jack's destiny, the devil took a turnip, hollowed it, and put inside of it a small blaze of hellfire, giving it to Jack as a makeshift lantern to illuminate his path as he set out to aimlessly errand through the world forever. When Tradition got carried from Ireland to America, Pumpkins were a lot more commonplace than Turnips so the festivities replaced it, giving birth to the Jack O' Lantern we all know today. As a follow through, it is said that the evil spirit of the Jack O' Lantern was avoided at all costs, as it kept doing evil deeds to those that stumbled upon it. They were forced to choose into giving Jack an offering or accepting the "trick". Trick would translate into something like waking up with a relative or part of your crop or animals dead, your house in fire, or "fun" things like that. Seems Jack wasn't the only scary thing out there though, as it was said that around that time of year, the line between worlds was easier to cross and even overlapped them at times, allowing all sorts of specters and evil spirits into our world to spread on more misfortune, and the tradition to pretend to be monsters during Halloween started as an attempt to blend in with the monsters to avoid becoming a victim of them. Pretty interesting stuff..... this is stuff I vaguely remember hearing/reading somewhere a long time ago so I don't have any sources for it but still found it pretty amusing xP
