Yu-Gi-Oh! Max Metalmorph Deck Profile & Archetype Explained

[@jacobnorris1487]

God i wish there was a lower power format

[@nimisisblademedia866]

There is, it's called the heart of the underdog. It's hard to get started but is fun but over time people start fighting about what over powered means and everyone gets upset and then they fight it ends. It's worse if you have goat/Edison/hat format people in the same card shop. They tend to sabotage it thinking it will make people want to play their format. And we all lose.

love the nostalgia

Great video! You really put a lot of work into it! Keep going!👍

[@duelsanctuary]

Thanks :)

[@roymakano6306]

When it comes to the Metal cards, I incorporated it with Red-Eyes. Giving it a proper Boss monster that’s not Dragoon or Black Comet dragon. Also feels nice to have Red-Eyes have a Metal strategy once more

[@duelsanctuary]

Cool! I haven’t had the time yet to try out the new Metalmorph cards in a Red-Eyes Deck, but it’s definitely something I want to experiment with in the future. And you're right, Fullmetal definitely feels more like a proper boss monster for Red-Eyes!

[@roymakano6306]

@@duelsanctuary I cant explain now but I use a more Pure Form of deck building (If its in the archetype, fair game. if not, Staples to fill in what i cant) So you can make a decent red-eyes Fusion/burn deck Just Fuse the Red-eyes cards and the Metal cards! trust me, its more fun that way

[@ricardoaffonso2261]

This is a Control deck, fill it with floodgates going first and boardbreakers going second

[@loucawithers42]

By any chance could we get a Neos or Battl' Boxer deck profile next? they're my favorite archetypes and I find really fun. Plus these videos help loads on understanding decks!

[@duelsanctuary]

They’re both definitely on my to-do list! but I don’t have them coming up in the short term.

[@loucawithers42]

@duelsanctuary well it's definitely worth the wait with the quality of the deck profiles

[@speclove1]

I’m about to pick this deck up

[@duelsanctuary]

Nice! If you wanna see some gameplay, I just uploaded a Live Duel featuring a more pure version of the deck.

Great deck profile !

[@duelsanctuary]

Thank you!

[@clarkside4493]

Would Instant Fusion or Ready Fusion be too slow to drop out a Level 5+ Dragon or Fiend for Max Metalmorph or would that eat up too much space in our Extra Deck to even consider? I like those cards, so I look for any excuse to use them.

[@duelsanctuary]

Those cards are definitely really cool! But I didn’t really think about them while working on the video, so these are just my initial thoughts without testing or trying to make them fit. I don’t think Extra Deck space would be the issue. Unfortunately I think they are be too slow because you can’t use them on turn 1 because Instant Fusion and Ready Fusion destroy the summoned monster in the End Phase. So you wouldn’t be able to tribute it with Max Metalmorph during the opponent’s turn. If we get future support that lets us summon one of the Metalmorph boss monsters on turn 1, it would be much easier to use Ready Fusion / Instant Fusion monsters to tribute.

[@clarkside4493]

@@duelsanctuary Yeah, that's what I thought. Having a set Max Metalmorph survive until your next turn won't be easy.

[@Smurftastic69]

I could be wrong, but i feel like there could be some Labrynth synergies...

[@Kopaka007]

We need some monster quick eff to ser trap during opps turn

[@duelsanctuary]

Yeah that definitely would make the deck a lot better!

[@Smurftastic69]

Lady labrynth?

[@manny8560]

Arias butler i believe

[@EaterOf100Dreams]

Quick question when it comes to max metalmorph given the way its effect is worded is it possible that you can actually tribute one of your opponents fiend or dragon monsters to bring out your Metal monsters... After all all the effect really says in the start is "tribute one face up monster"

[@duelsanctuary]

Great question! The way Max Metalmorph is worded, it indeed says 'tribute one face-up monster,' which might seem like it could include your opponent's monsters. However, tributing a monster typically means you must control the monster unless the card specifically states otherwise (like Lava Golem for example). So in this case you can only tribute one of your own face-up monsters to activate Max Metalmorph's effect. I hope this helps!

[@EaterOf100Dreams]

@@duelsanctuary Understandable although why do I get the feeling that this is unintentional labyrinth support.... Stairs pointedly at a certain Butler and archfiend suit of armor who's value and variations of said deck made just skyrocket... Or is it just me

[@u.a.perfectace7786]

There is synergy with Lair of Darkness actually. You get those dark tokens out and you can use them to get your Metal moms out IIRC. Throw in some Virud cards and three Diabolosis retrain (the good one from the SD) and the deck is pretty good. It's a budget alternative to Dragon Link/Bystial control as well.

[@kevincango225]

nice video

[@superkroger]

can y’all just put the list of cards in the description?

[@glumac994]

im currently experimenting this deck with runick cards (not bad for now) also not its the budget friendly vesrion , so no fountain or red-eyes metal cards :(

[@duelsanctuary]

There’s definitely some synergy there! Runick cards really support a control playstyle. I’ll probably try it out myself at some point :)

[@glumac994]

@@duelsanctuary will also keep an eye out if you post a deck list here then 🙂

[@Shadowrulzalways]

You are aware Exodia topped at YCS, right? 😂 And made 1st at WQC.

[@duelsanctuary]

Oh yeah I know! Exodia is the best example. Because the reason that deck can somewhat perform is because it can play a lot of unfun cards, like Shifter and Secret Village, which you really don’t wanna see in casual play. That's why we need 2 formats. The current advanced format where we can still see some cool stuff like that happen from time to time, and a lower powered format where these decks can be played as intended :)
