I hope you had a good Christmas TGS anima ( I don't know you real name )

[@valkyriegremory]

TGS, did you watch yugioh capsule monster before, i remember it was on sky one a long time ago, i thought it was part of the main series but found it was a spin off etc. I like to see you cover it like, rules, could Alexander be yugi and such.

[@yeshwizard7519]

Can you do graydle for the next archetype video?

[@LUISLopez-ry8kn]

Can you do cipher next

[@kristofgriffin384]

An interesting thing you forgot to mention regarding the knights is that each of their names end with the suffix "-el". This is a reference to the four archangels, whose names also end with "-el": Michael, Gabriel, Rafael and Uriel. On top of all that, El is the Hebrew word for God".

[@filipvadas7602]

To be fair, there are a TON of other angels who's names end with "-el" Those are just the most popular examples, but you also have Zadkiel, Azrael, Raguel, Jophiel, Raziel etc An important one as well would be Samael. Who later would be renamed into simply Satan or Lucifer

[@D.BREAKER]

i was about to comment this lol Also, Fairy-type in Japanese is known as "Tenshi", which translates to "Angel".

[@BluePhoenix_]

​@@filipvadas7602 though the name "Satan" comes from the morning star, Hasatan. Essentially a story about the morning star(Venus, if i remember correctly), rebelling against his father, the dawn. This was then turned into a rebellion of angels for some reason...

[@Logantrenlholm1928]

Also, the prefix "el" is referential to "elf on the shelf"

[@darkbladetri]

Um those are called arch angels but are also considered seraphim

[@CloudyNight2156]

Dreaded Dusk Dragon

[@OmnicidalClown1992]

7:39 Here's another bit of interesting trivia between Seiyaryu and Serpent Night Dragon, but in the Yu-Gi-Oh Capsule Monster anime series, when Yugi and friends were tasked to battle five evil dragons that were terrorizing a small village, Teá was sent to a dark cave where one of the dragons lives. And the dragon she was sent to confront was Serpent Night Dragon, the rival of Seiyaryu, and Teá's ace monster.

[@Yasuda9000]

Yep. I saw that episode. The other dragons in the episode were Tyrant Dragon, Luster Dragon #2, Meteor Dragon, and Aqua Dragon (Despite that it has Dragon in it's name, Aqua Dragon is a Sea Serpent monster.) These dragons fused together to create the Five Headed Dragon (Five God Dragon).

[@OmnicidalClown1992]

@@Yasuda9000 This does make me wonder if the monsters used by Yugi and friends are seen as rivals with the other dragons. Black Luster Soldier being rivals with Tyrant Dragon, Red-Eyes Black Dragon being rivals with Luster Dragon #2, Thunder Dragon being rivals with Meteor Dragon and Curse of Dragon being rivals with Aqua Dragon.

[@idkwut2callmyself561]

Kinda wish they referenced this in Duel Links but hey now I can give Anzu both Magician Girl and Starry Knight decks

[@jakeblancaster8498]

If it makes you feel better, you can say Starry Dragon is Seiaryu after a Form Change when its infused with Sacred Power.

[@chaoscontroller316]

So you're saying the Starry Night archetype doubles as a Saint Seiya reference?

[@ZeothTheHedgehog]

@@chaoscontroller316 yes

[@jackmclarnon9628]

It gives me a great idea for a trap or spell card, which would let you tribute seiyaryu and summon Starry night,Starry dragon from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard Maybe one day konami will consider it

[@23gameoverlord]

It's really cool how Konami can turn 1 vanilla monster into a really awesome thematic archetype based around a holiday and has an interesting play style. I do hope Konami does make Serpent Night Dragon into the idea you pitched. Also for Seyarue going from pink to platinum, I don't see much issue, but maybe the retrain version could have some pink highlights around it's chest and head to break up it's 1 solid color.

[@absoul112]

On the one hand, white makes sense for a light attribute dragon on the other, when I think of a white dragon, it’s always blue-eyes. So it probably should’ve stayed pink for the sake of being unique.

[@TheSandwhichman108]

On the bright side being a light attribute dragon means you can use return of the dragon lords protection effect on it.

[@MrMovieMaker116]

Actually, Seiyaryu isn’t the only card with a japanese name in English. This includes Hinotama (Fireball) and Hitotsu me giant (one-eyed giant/cyclops).

[@ducklett01god]

Yujo friendship aswell because Yu Jo means friendship in japanese

[@MrUltiblood]

Raigeki and Raigeki break, there's millions of them, Umiruka, there's a bunch of them, because those are the ones whose OCG names are in English. Kind of an exchange program

[@nicholasdaniel2778]

I felt like the background of the monsters is also a reference to the Starry Night painting by Vincent Van Gogh, but I may be wrong.

[@KnightsofGaming2016]

Imagine playing this deck while playing "Holy Night" in the background lmao. Now I want to build a Christmas themed deck 🤤 Edit: really hope there'll be more support for this archetype. I love knights in general and as someone who celebrates and loves the Christmas season, that would be nice to see.

[@roninwarriorsfan]

That might be a bit difficult ^^;

[@Dishinshoryuken]

@@roninwarriorsfan not at all Use cards like Santa Claws, Give and Take, Gift of Greed, and other cards that are giving your opponent cards from their deck Keep it going with cards that revive from the graveyard and ones that stop your opponent from destroying your side

[@carljimen]

Same here. I used a Starry Knight loaner deck from one of their events and I did pretty good with it.

[@adriannaranjo4397]

I was actually a bit of a fan of Seiyaryu. It was was basically a dragon equivalent of Dark Magician and it's art was really pretty. Especially with the foil Glad it got the "random whole archetype around __" treatment

[@ThespianDevil]

Something no one brought up, so I will. Santa claws translated name is Satan claus.

[@Azamingg]

TGS: Santa Claws looks like Santa Claus Me: I will never, ever, wait for Santa again

[@Yasuda9000]

I think that card also took some inspiration from Krampus. It explains why it looks demon-like.

[@defender2222]

I would love to have a serpent Night Dragon archetype. If it were me I would base it around the winter solstice. The darkest and coldest night of the year. Make it that it has some kind of freezing effect that locks your opponent down that they can't use certain cards. Maybe an effect that forces them to set cards on the field but they're not allowed to flip them face up and they can't be used as defense monsters. It's like they don't exist. So that you eat away at their magic and trap zones and their monster zones so that there's nothing they can do.

[@heroicheart6911]

Seiyaryu was my first monster card and I still have it to this day over 20 years later.

[@TheKpa11]

The pink certainly made it stand out. My favorite look of it was from the anime, the fire attack was cool……..now I question why I ever liked it at all though

[@Trekkie46]

Serpent Night Dragon is one of my faves partly because I pulled one back in the day outta MRL. I've been bringing up that it needs an archetype ever since Seiyaryu got one. Also it should mirror Starry Dragon but probably be the inverse. Level 4 DARK Fairies, Silent Night Dragon that goes in and outta the grave, and bouncing monsters. Plus be un-targetable by LIGHT monsters instead of can't be destroyed. Maybe even make copies of the spells and traps, but switch them so the Ceremony-like card is a Trap and Arrival is a Continuous Spell.

[@gabriellacar]

As a Christian, this was a really nice video to watch. Plus Seiyaryu is one of my favorite vanilla monsters, next to Red-Eyes Black Dragon and Serpent Night Dragon.

Personally I would prefer the pink color too…only cuz I had the original Seiyaryu card from Japan when I was in high school. I worked at a books a million where regular Yugioh mini tournaments were held every week and I was in change of it (cuz my Mom was the manager and she knew I liked Yugioh 🤣). A kid who was a regular at the tournament events went to Japan and came back with the card as a souvenir. Good memories…

[@kitvrenwa3129]

Starry knights cards look amazing if you obtain them as prismatic and or glossy

[@tobytrooper3928]

Starry Night, Starry Dragon is my absolute favorite Yu-Gi-Oh card of all time. It’s just such a beautiful creature! 🤩

[@hafizyb]

This archetype is surprisingly one of my favorite deck to use in MD that doesn't have to do with anime (HERO) nor waifu (Dragonmaid, Exosister, etc.). Was pulling Exosister before and Starry Knight was also in the same pack, so I thought wth, let's just build both of them. It quickly grew on me due to the artwork as well as the playstyle that the deck brings. So much so that I managed to reach diamond rank, twice, back to back. Even against some meta decks, it is surprisingly effective on how it can counter dark monsters while having some recovery too. And the fact that most of my opponents have no idea how to handle a Starry Knight deck, it just increase my odds in winning even more. Like, I have no idea why, Starry Knight just drew me in the more I play it. I main HERO deck most of the time and that's because I like HERO mostly due to anime + manga (and all all of that hero reference for each sub archetype). Starry Knight is genuinely the deck that I saw randomly and be like "you know, you look fun, let's try you out".

I already have a small idea for a Serpent night dragon which would be called Silent Night Silent Dragon Lv 7 DARK Dragon/Effect If this card is summoned from the Hand or GY: target one card on the field banish it. This card can't be destroyed by battle or effects of Light monsters. If this card Attacks a monster you can activate this effect: return that monster back to the hand and if you do this card can Attack again. 2350 ATK/2400 DEF I would like if this monster works like Starry Night Starry dragon just in reverse but I don't know what ideas would the rest of the "Silent Knights" would have besides being Dark Fiends

[@melvinshine9841]

I've had a Starry Night, Starry Dragon for almost a year in Master Duel and a Starry Knight deck is one of six or seven decks I keep telling myself I'm going to make at some point. They've got searchers, can pop cards, potentially during the opponents turn thanks to Arrival, and have an omni-negate so they should be able to hang with some of the craziness running around if supplemented with some generic staples. Though, I guess there is the issue where Starry Night only pops cards if summoned from the hand.

Mostly Starry Knights, but with Level 7 Dragons splashed in just for additional plays. Seiyaryu to me looked like one of the coolest cards, but I could never get one back in the day.

First off, Starry Knight Dragon should of had some kind of pink accent on its design. I do like the overall white angelic design. But boy does it look too much like Blue-Eyes card. That being said, man is archetype disappointing when I first saw it. For one, Starry Knight Blast is not a proper counter trap, but a regular one. It’s main searcher, Rayel, has to be normal summoned. Both are not terrible, but by comparison to everything else. It doesn’t boast confidence. As for the main boss monster itself, and really the whole gimmick. Why? Why? Please tell me why it has to be summoned from the hand to pop a card, instead of in general. And why the other level 4 can’t even summon it from the GY. In general, great concept but severely lackluster execution. Saddest part is, even if they made those changes for the archetype. It would still be lackluster to other decks.
