Jurracs were the first deck I built from scratch, so they hold a special place in my heart. The satisfaction of dueling my friends with something I had made by myself and their annoyance at my battle destruction loops are something I'll never forget. They may be trash, but they're MY trash.
To this day they're still probably my favorite archetype. I took them apart when I was building Evols but ever since I wished I would've just kept both.
My suggestion for a Failed Cards video: Synchro Fusions. For some reason Konami thought the best thing to do in the synchro era to push the mechanic even further would be to introduce fusion monsters which required synchro monsters as their materials. While some were interesting, the obviously clunky mechanic never saw a lot of success.
Agree, or just do Extra Deck monsters that require other Extra Deck monsters as materials. It really only works when it is the same type of monster, not mixing types.
Ex: Naturia Exterio. And to put salt on the wound, Konami thought it was a great idea no letting use substitute cards as materials to fusion summon it, but cheating it out of the extra deck with Cyber Stein is ok 😑.
I swear all the cards with the best artwork are "subpar" in gameplay while all the "meta cards" are always these generic anime looking characters that effectively just spend 30 minutes to win the game. At least you can use cards with nice art over function in duel links. Gosh reminds me of the direction Digimon made. Less dragons/dinosaurs, more humans and robots....
Honestly, this archetype could have been so much better if all all monsters had 200 DEF so Rekindeling could be used with them. We all know how OP Rekindeling is because Flamvells and Lavals are useless whitout their attribute-spesific Soul Charge
Funny enough. Jurrac lore wise is same world as Laval and Flamvell. (same time period as Flamvell too during the whole Worm invasion) So having them be kindle targets would’ve been a good idea
Lavals were actually really solid even without Rekindling. Granted it was amazing in the deck and there wasn't much reason not to use it, they were still very capable of swarming the field even without it.

@@ButFirstHeLitItOnFireflip is fine as long as its Subterror/Krawler-esque. Gemini would never be playable. They literally gave them a field spell that does everything you want, but still requires you to spend both summons to make your Gemini monster an effect monster.
@@ThatOneWeirdFlex I meant generic flip support, like say, a quickplay spell or counter trap where if a monster(s) you control are removed from the field by an opponents card or effect, you can normal set any number of flip monsters you possess who’s total levels are equal to or less than the removed monster(s) level/rank/link. As for Gemini’s I’m thinking a pendulum/tuner/Gemini monster that gives benefits to normal summoning in general while you control face-up Gemini monsters (extra normal summons per turn for every gemini monster you control during the draw phase of said turn, Gemini’s can be normal summoned with 1 less tribute, etc…)
Gemini is easy to fix. Make more cards that give extra normal summons. Add easy to summon link 1 monsters that takes 1 gemini as a material and give it a revive and an additional normal on summon. You could also make monsters in the extra that are Gemini so you can I.e. fuse then use your normal to gemini summon.
You know what’s more crazy about the Jurrac archetype “not existing after the Ice Age”? That they are Fire attribute, the natural counter of ice. You would think that with the flames around their bodies, the Jurrac would be able to survive.
There is ONE upside to Jurracs. Too many YuGiOh Dinosaur monsters resort to the most typical of dinosaurs, T-Rex, Triceratops, Stegosaurus, Pteradon, Brachiosaurus and Velociraptor, and barely anything else, Jurracs at least decided to dedicate most of it's monsters to the lesser known Dino species, such as Giganotosaurus (My 2nd fav) and even Iguanadon, and it would be nice to see more Dinosaurs that aren't the staple generic monsters, even my fav the Ankylosaurus is barely touched in YuGiOh. If an entire type is going to be dedicated to dinosaurs, they should try and reach their inspirations beyond the more famous ones to give us variety, and Jurracs at least deliver on that, but as you say in the video, no ST support and lack of good strategy lets the archetype down.

Jurracs were actually a great rogue choice 2011-2013. They had a clear advantage over Tengu Plants, being able to trigger Guaiba with ease to go into Laggia/Dolkka. With the Flamvell hybrid + Rekindling working with Aeolo, you could assemble a board of Laggia+Stardust with ease. At that time, it was a great combo that ended games, especially if you added a boosted Giganoto to boot. I say this as someone who played Jurracs and got my nats invite with them.

RIP Rex Raptor. there are literally 3 characters from the anime who main Dinosaurs... at least Rex's Twin headed dragon did get some new upgrades lately that look fantastic and seem to pack a punch. Only OCG though, and I dunno if we're gonna see them in Duel Links...I feel it cause I love dinosaurs!
Especially if you could get 2 or more on the board. I also really liked Solidarity in the deck too. (I was one of those weirdos that didn't like using generic Synchros in it)
Funny enough this is the deck that got me back into yugioh I’m high school. And as a Dino deck main I can say the line about ditching jurracs for generic dinos is so true but it hurts so much. If I didn’t pull Velpitho and Monoloph I might not be a duelist today. Rest easy jurracs. You may have failed, but the battle isn’t over for Dino’s yet
Jurrac was one of my favorite archetypes back in the day with Fabled but yeah it felt kind of slow, even back then. I really hope they get enough support some day to be kind of playable. Flaming dinosaurs is too cool to not use.
Here are some ideas from me , to this archetype : 1. Some spells that allow for special summoning from hand or deck and providing destruction protection / other additional effects . 2. ATK buff for them & debuff for opponent's monsters and BURN damage , some Jurrac Link 2 or 3 monsters could help with it . 3. New Synchros that can deal huge chunks of damage either by doubling their ATK points ( taking example from Tenpai / Sangen dragons ) , or switching monsters to DEF and deal 2X piercing damage . 4. A game finisher Synchro monster . To Summarize , since they are Fire Dinosaur , Jurracs could be a battle / burn deck if it gets future support .
Dude, when i came back to the game around 2018 i fell in love with all the new dinosaurs in the game, it didnt matter to me how bad they were as an strategy, i love me some fire dinos, and then i got the then modern dino deck and ive never looked back. Nothing beats droping a Jurrac Meteor on my friends board and popping my own babies to swing back. Jurracs, Evols, True kings, kaijus, UTC and all the new dinos will forever have a place in my binders
Jurracs to me we're an aggro Fire/Dino focused Creature Swap and UFO Turtle were useful support to give them easy to run over targets. Molten Destruction was a better field spell over Jurassic World when focusing on the Fire aspect. Solidarity was also helpful if going full Dinosaur.
I really wish the duel terminal series would get more support nowadays. They look awesome my favorite being steelswarm and vylon. Imagine if they made some of these archetypes good one day.
I like Duel LInks more as a casual friendly way to enjoy the game at your own pace. All this talk of Meta deck this and hand trap that feels a bit too advanced for what the game was meant to be, but Duel Links being 2 years behind the TCG holds back the power creep JUST enough that while there's still meta decks and such, Konami is more careful monitoring that game's balance, and the characters give weaker decks much needed support for some exotic combos if you really insist on using your favorites. Shame I can't make my boy Rex Raptor work as all his abilities support normal Dinosaurs and his best one is the level 6 twin headed dragon, but alas.... his time will come.
Gilasaurus was actually kinda playable *very* early on (when it was released in OCG early), when a special summoned body was very useful and rare. The trick being it needs to be used before the opponent has monsters in the GY (or, at least, when you can already destroy by battle everything they could bring out), or right before you raigeki their board. GBA's Stairway to the Destined Duel, before you're far enough along to just Cyber-Stein everything, is about the right format for it to be functional in if not for that fact that the only way to get it early game by the totally random booster given when you beat that week's special opponent, which has everything in the game (at least it's a common there). It is an early game card in Nightmare Troubadour though.
Jurrac Guaiba saw play in Dino Rabbit decks just because it can special another copy of itself to go into The Evolsaur XYZ. Jurrac Aeolo probably still sees play in UTC decks if they want access to synchros plus still a great One for One target and summoning it with Misc.
Too bad the Jurrac archetype did so poorly. I really like the artwork and the idea of Fire based Dinosaurs. Wonder if DuelLogs will make a Failed Archetype video on the Steelswarm monsters.
I remember in 2017, when the good Dinosaur support cards such as Miscellaneousaurus and Souleating Oviraptor came out, and True King Dinosaur became meta, I netdecked one to try it out for myself, and when I read Jurrac Aeolo's effect, I got so confused since the deck played absolutely no other Jurrac monsters I, like everyone else here, later realized that poor Jurrac Aeolo is just used because 1. it's a free body on-board by pitching Miscellaneousaurus from hand to grave and then banished, and 2. it's a level 1 tuner to be used with Souleating Oviraptor for a 1-card combo to set up Nine Pillars of Yang Zing + Herald of Arc Light 😆
This video shocked me hard, I've had lots of fun and success with Jurracs in Duel Links and to see it being regarded as abject failures is just appaling.
I'll never forget how much I had to cope back in my Duel Links days finding anything for Rex that my endgame was Jurrac Titano that would still get sauced by Wall of Disruption anyways.
I would suggest double tuner Synchro monsters for the next video. It would be a short video as the idea was abandoned early, but the whole Red Dragon Archfiend line is based on Synchros that requires more than one tuner, along with a Vylon. Not a super expansive idea, but changed how Konami viewed what was appropriate synchro materials
Jurrac Iguanon made me rewind to make sure I heard the effect right. Returning a set card to the hand after destroying a monster by battle is weak for like, for late DM, nevermind 5Ds. Good job, you would've removed a mirror force if your opp didn't use it first. Oh wait, they'd just set it again. Duel Terminal archetypes had such random effects, but to give them credit; they were rarely broken because they were consistently underpowered.
Had a feeling this archetype would end up here, but it was still one of my favorites. Obviously they'd have no place in the meta nowadays but frankly nothing I've ever played would. It was really satisfying when I beat a Six Samurai player at a tournament I went to way back when they were top tier. And while it took a lot of outside support to work, Giganoto could be surprisingly hard to work around with the right protection, and Titano had a pretty decent protection effect too, if you could manage to get it out, even though they'd be nowhere near viable these days.
I always felt for some reason that jurrac should use their level as like a "food chain" kind of deal. Where they should summon a lower level jurrac. And the tuners could have subtle bonuses. So there may have been a benefit to run the higher level jurrac's in a synchro deck because they can get those "lower on the food chain." And maybe do what they did with shadolls but with combat. Have a default effect, and have a strong effect that activates for destroying a monster. Like, imagine a level 4 non tuner jurrac that summons or searches a level 3 or lower jurrac tuner. And that tuner when used to synchro would make the synchro gain 100 for each of its level for example.
Idea for a Dinosaur field spell: _Mesozoic World_ Field Spell _This card is treated as “Jurassic World” while face-up on the field. All Dinosaur monsters gain 300 ATK/DEF. You can apply each of the following effects of this card once per turn:_ ⚪️If you summon a level/rank 4 or lower Dinosaur monster(s): You can normal or Special summon any number of monsters from your hand or GY with the same original name as the summoned monster(s). ⚪️If you summon a level/rank 5 or higher dinosaur monster: it cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects until this card leaves the field OR until this effect is applied again.
Jurrac carried me hard in a KC Cup back then. Win after win after win. Ptera, hera and stauriko were mvps. Especially ptera cause sometimes he bounced ED monsters and sometimes when the opponent attacked with weak monsters first they couldn't beat over him 😂. Even had only a single guaiba. And when Titano hit the field it was game over for the opponent. Fun times 😢
i used to use a jurrac dino in duel links, that when you destroyed an enemy in battle, you could sacrifice a jurrac to draw 2, which i use it on itself not excellent by any stretch, but in duel links it was easier to kill things by battle and the opponent usually spend resources dealing with it, which is a positive for me, as i used it as card advantage, going neutral or +1 is good enough for it's purpouse
Dinosaur has always been my go to, I played Dinosaur Evo pill decks in the early 2000s, then after school I got back into the game right after dino rabbit, I found jurracs and made them my go to deck til the new dino structure came out. I had tons if fun playing that deck, added a dragon ruler blaster, evolzars, fire and ice hands, survival of the fittest, forbidden lances and shrinks, and actually got semi decent playing mermails, but shadolls completely wrecked me and I stopped playing it. Lol had tons of fun tho, I need to dig up that deck and try and modernize it
They've added a bunch of non-Synchro, non-Tuner Jurrac monsters into Speed Duel where they fit ok. The smaller deck size and larger focus on combat (along with few ways for players to flood their GY with monsters on their first turn), make it so starting the game with a Gilasaurus into Jurrac Tyrannus feels quite good. One of the Dino Skills also gives you 200 LP and a way of filtering your draws and a 200 ATK boost to one Dino every turn. They've never been tier 1 in the competitive Speed Duel landscape, but most of the people I know prefer to play that format casually with thematic decks rather than just a collection of the best staples and, in that context, Jurracs can be a force to reckon with.
I remember playing through the entire 5D's DS game using this deck and completely wiping the floor with the CPU opponents. I don't know whether that means this deck was viable at the time or the CPU opponents were just awful.
I like this kind of archetype. It has plan and simple card text. Yu-Gi-Oh now a day, you have to read a whole chapter just to understand the effects and sometime it's confusing. Sigh.. Good old days
I built a pure jurrac beat down deck running 3 ×solidarity in Highschool. I was that crazy kid with a Jurrac deck 😂 it's all fun and games until you get attacked by Jurrac Guaiba with 2500 Atk that brings out another Jurrac beatstick. Generic Back row removal was plentiful in the hidden arsenal days, so keeping them on the field wasnt too hard. Jurrac Giganoto raises the attack of ALL Jurracs on the field 200 atk for every Jurrac in the graveyard. That, plus Solidarity and I'd have the field full of 3000+ atk Jurracs. Meteor wasn't too hard to bring out once Aeolo came out. As soon as you wiped the board, bring back Aeolo and tribute it to bring back Guiaba and start the cycle all over again. I just think of it more like people failed to get a grasp of the mechanics and went with more mainstream decks of the time. I used to give Crystal Beasts and Gladiator Beasts a run for their money.
I really loved Jurracs mostly because their art was really cool! They really cemented Dinosaurs as a FIRE attribute staple which just feels so Yugioh. But yeah sadly they are always disappointing. I think they were slightly more successful in Duel Links with having multiple great Dinosaur-support skills. One of my favorites used both Jurrac Guiaba and Hydrogendon but also Frost And Flame Dragon. But sadly only moderately good at best.
Impact could actually be useful with the trancendasaurus, wipe the entire board while your big monsters are indestructible or just revive them right after and leave the opponent open or at least weakened for your massive monsters to run over them on your turn.
I was wondering where I heard this archetype from and then Jurrac impact came up and I was like “OHHHHHHHHH.” It was one of the first cards I ever got when I was younger I always assumed it was just generic dinosaur support
Here's good jurrac support. Jurrac Continuous or Field Spell When this card is activated: you can add 1 "Jurrac" card from your Deck to your Hand. You can Normal Summon "Jurrac" monster in addition to your Normal Summon/Set. (You can only gains this effect once per turn.) During the Main Phase: you can target 1 "Jurrac" monster you control; activate that card effect when it destroys a monster by battle as this card effect. You can only use this effect of "Jurrac Continuous or Field Spell" once per turn. You can only activate 1 "Jurrac Continuous or Field Spell" per turn.
You know whats crazy? The field spell could say: >All face up "Jurrac" monsters gain the effects of all other face up "Jurrac" monsters< and it still wouldnt be meta.
Such a shame that they're not that good because I think they look really cool. It was my first archetype I built around that got me back into the game since I played in the elementry school playground days. Yeah, it wasn't that great, but it was definitely fun with friends.
If jurrac get support cards and it’s broken most likely a field spell something like jurrac monsters can’t be destroyed unless it’s by battle and during damage calc when a jurrac monster battles you can tribute one monster you control and have it gains its atk or something like that and another synchro boss monster that actually does something and is easier to summon
Think it's good to say that Konami did not went "Yeah let's give this archetype, that nobody plays, support cards so one person thinks it's a good idea to play it now."
This hurts me well, cause the Jurrac's are practically the perfect archetype of Yugioh for me. I like dinos and fire, and this does it. I still even use them, but I admit they are not the best to be used... I just can't let go of them is all and hope they get better support soon.
0:59 I can fix this effect: _Gains 100 ATK/DEF for every card on the field and in both players hands. Once per turn (Quick Effect), you can change this face-up card’s battle position. The following effect are applied depending on this card’s battle position:_ Attack Position: “Jurrac” monsters card attack again in a row per turn, and deal piercing battle damage if they battle a defense position monster. Defense Position: Defense Position Jurrac monsters you control cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects.
so if the pattern holds.... we're getting some INSANE Jurrac support tomorrow.
Can't wait for the new Jurrac field spell Jurrac Ice Age
Just give them so more 200 def monsters and a spell that searches to any extent and it will atleast be usable not good by any means but usable

Especially if you could get 2 or more on the board. I also really liked Solidarity in the deck too. (I was one of those weirdos that didn't like using generic Synchros in it)
Funny enough this is the deck that got me back into yugioh I’m high school. And as a Dino deck main I can say the line about ditching jurracs for generic dinos is so true but it hurts so much. If I didn’t pull Velpitho and Monoloph I might not be a duelist today. Rest easy jurracs. You may have failed, but the battle isn’t over for Dino’s yet
Jurrac was one of my favorite archetypes back in the day with Fabled but yeah it felt kind of slow, even back then. I really hope they get enough support some day to be kind of playable. Flaming dinosaurs is too cool to not use.
Here are some ideas from me , to this archetype :
1. Some spells that allow for special summoning from hand or deck and providing destruction protection / other additional effects .
2. ATK buff for them & debuff for opponent's monsters and BURN damage , some Jurrac Link 2 or 3 monsters could help with it .
3. New Synchros that can deal huge chunks of damage either by doubling their ATK points ( taking example from Tenpai / Sangen dragons ) , or switching monsters to DEF and deal 2X piercing damage .
4. A game finisher Synchro monster .
To Summarize , since they are Fire Dinosaur , Jurracs could be a battle / burn deck if it gets future support .
Time for that Jurrac link one that soul charge from deck
Dude, when i came back to the game around 2018 i fell in love with all the new dinosaurs in the game, it didnt matter to me how bad they were as an strategy, i love me some fire dinos, and then i got the then modern dino deck and ive never looked back. Nothing beats droping a Jurrac Meteor on my friends board and popping my own babies to swing back. Jurracs, Evols, True kings, kaijus, UTC and all the new dinos will forever have a place in my binders
Jurracs to me we're an aggro Fire/Dino focused
Creature Swap and UFO Turtle were useful support to give them easy to run over targets.
Molten Destruction was a better field spell over Jurassic World when focusing on the Fire aspect.
Solidarity was also helpful if going full Dinosaur.
I really wish the duel terminal series would get more support nowadays. They look awesome my favorite being steelswarm and vylon. Imagine if they made some of these archetypes good one day.
Quick! Make a vylon video, we need support asap
Ah, another video of me dying inside at logs' pronunciations
I know right hah
Can you make a video about vehicroids so Konami can make a new support the next day?
I believe he did a while ago
These guys helped me learn yugioh (duel links) and for a while did really well for me, until I learned more
I like Duel LInks more as a casual friendly way to enjoy the game at your own pace. All this talk of Meta deck this and hand trap that feels a bit too advanced for what the game was meant to be, but Duel Links being 2 years behind the TCG holds back the power creep JUST enough that while there's still meta decks and such, Konami is more careful monitoring that game's balance, and the characters give weaker decks much needed support for some exotic combos if you really insist on using your favorites. Shame I can't make my boy Rex Raptor work as all his abilities support normal Dinosaurs and his best one is the level 6 twin headed dragon, but alas.... his time will come.
@@MarioMastar Yeah it's how I got into yugioh besides the anime I really love duel links a lot it's such a fun game!
Would love to see these come back they are a personal favorite of mine and I'd love to finally see some new one's!
Still love using Jurracs in Saikyo Card Battle.
Gilasaurus was actually kinda playable *very* early on (when it was released in OCG early), when a special summoned body was very useful and rare. The trick being it needs to be used before the opponent has monsters in the GY (or, at least, when you can already destroy by battle everything they could bring out), or right before you raigeki their board. GBA's Stairway to the Destined Duel, before you're far enough along to just Cyber-Stein everything, is about the right format for it to be functional in if not for that fact that the only way to get it early game by the totally random booster given when you beat that week's special opponent, which has everything in the game (at least it's a common there). It is an early game card in Nightmare Troubadour though.
Jurrac Guaiba saw play in Dino Rabbit decks just because it can special another copy of itself to go into The Evolsaur XYZ. Jurrac Aeolo probably still sees play in UTC decks if they want access to synchros plus still a great One for One target and summoning it with Misc.
Konami is pouring a beer and will ask someone to hold it tomorrow so they can drop some sick jurrac support
Too bad the Jurrac archetype did so poorly. I really like the artwork and the idea of Fire based Dinosaurs. Wonder if DuelLogs will make a Failed Archetype video on the Steelswarm monsters.
Really enjoying the puns on this one 😂
Damn the wordplays in this Go crazy
Perfectly researched video good job
I remember in 2017, when the good Dinosaur support cards such as Miscellaneousaurus and Souleating Oviraptor came out, and True King Dinosaur became meta, I netdecked one to try it out for myself, and when I read Jurrac Aeolo's effect, I got so confused since the deck played absolutely no other Jurrac monsters
I, like everyone else here, later realized that poor Jurrac Aeolo is just used because 1. it's a free body on-board by pitching Miscellaneousaurus from hand to grave and then banished, and 2. it's a level 1 tuner to be used with Souleating Oviraptor for a 1-card combo to set up Nine Pillars of Yang Zing + Herald of Arc Light 😆
Loved your content. Hope you do failed cards Machina/ Machina Force too.
This video shocked me hard, I've had lots of fun and success with Jurracs in Duel Links and to see it being regarded as abject failures is just appaling.
Jurracs with Rex is quite decent- probably because of Duel Links' use of skills
I'll never forget how much I had to cope back in my Duel Links days finding anything for Rex that my endgame was Jurrac Titano that would still get sauced by Wall of Disruption anyways.
Titano was level 9, not 7
I would suggest double tuner Synchro monsters for the next video. It would be a short video as the idea was abandoned early, but the whole Red Dragon Archfiend line is based on Synchros that requires more than one tuner, along with a Vylon. Not a super expansive idea, but changed how Konami viewed what was appropriate synchro materials
Make it a "cards that can be summoned with more than 1 tuner" and add in xx-saber gothams
A archetype that definitely is due for some more support is my beloved Reptiliannes 💘
Jurrac Iguanon made me rewind to make sure I heard the effect right.
Returning a set card to the hand after destroying a monster by battle is weak for like, for late DM, nevermind 5Ds. Good job, you would've removed a mirror force if your opp didn't use it first. Oh wait, they'd just set it again.
Duel Terminal archetypes had such random effects, but to give them credit; they were rarely broken because they were consistently underpowered.
Had a feeling this archetype would end up here, but it was still one of my favorites. Obviously they'd have no place in the meta nowadays but frankly nothing I've ever played would. It was really satisfying when I beat a Six Samurai player at a tournament I went to way back when they were top tier. And while it took a lot of outside support to work, Giganoto could be surprisingly hard to work around with the right protection, and Titano had a pretty decent protection effect too, if you could manage to get it out, even though they'd be nowhere near viable these days.
I always felt for some reason that jurrac should use their level as like a "food chain" kind of deal. Where they should summon a lower level jurrac. And the tuners could have subtle bonuses. So there may have been a benefit to run the higher level jurrac's in a synchro deck because they can get those "lower on the food chain." And maybe do what they did with shadolls but with combat. Have a default effect, and have a strong effect that activates for destroying a monster. Like, imagine a level 4 non tuner jurrac that summons or searches a level 3 or lower jurrac tuner. And that tuner when used to synchro would make the synchro gain 100 for each of its level for example.
Idea for a Dinosaur field spell:
_Mesozoic World_
Field Spell
_This card is treated as “Jurassic World” while face-up on the field. All Dinosaur monsters gain 300 ATK/DEF. You can apply each of the following effects of this card once per turn:_
⚪️If you summon a level/rank 4 or lower Dinosaur monster(s): You can normal or Special summon any number of monsters from your hand or GY with the same original name as the summoned monster(s).
⚪️If you summon a level/rank 5 or higher dinosaur monster: it cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects until this card leaves the field OR until this effect is applied again.
Jurrac carried me hard in a KC Cup back then. Win after win after win. Ptera, hera and stauriko were mvps. Especially ptera cause sometimes he bounced ED monsters and sometimes when the opponent attacked with weak monsters first they couldn't beat over him 😂. Even had only a single guaiba. And when Titano hit the field it was game over for the opponent. Fun times 😢
Time for Jurrac support!
i used to use a jurrac dino in duel links, that when you destroyed an enemy in battle, you could sacrifice a jurrac to draw 2, which i use it on itself
not excellent by any stretch, but in duel links it was easier to kill things by battle and the opponent usually spend resources dealing with it, which is a positive for me, as i used it as card advantage, going neutral or +1 is good enough for it's purpouse
Dinosaur has always been my go to, I played Dinosaur Evo pill decks in the early 2000s, then after school I got back into the game right after dino rabbit, I found jurracs and made them my go to deck til the new dino structure came out. I had tons if fun playing that deck, added a dragon ruler blaster, evolzars, fire and ice hands, survival of the fittest, forbidden lances and shrinks, and actually got semi decent playing mermails, but shadolls completely wrecked me and I stopped playing it. Lol had tons of fun tho, I need to dig up that deck and try and modernize it
They've added a bunch of non-Synchro, non-Tuner Jurrac monsters into Speed Duel where they fit ok. The smaller deck size and larger focus on combat (along with few ways for players to flood their GY with monsters on their first turn), make it so starting the game with a Gilasaurus into Jurrac Tyrannus feels quite good. One of the Dino Skills also gives you 200 LP and a way of filtering your draws and a 200 ATK boost to one Dino every turn. They've never been tier 1 in the competitive Speed Duel landscape, but most of the people I know prefer to play that format casually with thematic decks rather than just a collection of the best staples and, in that context, Jurracs can be a force to reckon with.
*WAIT OMG, I FORGOT THIS ARCHETYPE IS DUEL TERMINAL TOO*
JURRAC SUPPORT HOPE 👀🙏
For some reason I could've swore there were better Jurracs but then it turned out they were all Evolsaurs.
Since we're talking Duel Terminal archetypes, ever consider making a Duel Terminal series? I'd love to see Logs's take on decks like Dragunity.
Jurracs is the first real deck I had in yugi oh and what made me want to learn more about the game.
I remember playing through the entire 5D's DS game using this deck and completely wiping the floor with the CPU opponents. I don't know whether that means this deck was viable at the time or the CPU opponents were just awful.
Jurrac Lacks power, they need some.
@DuelLogs, noticed you've been posting 3 videos in the span of a weekend. Is this the new schedule for your posting of videos?
I like this kind of archetype. It has plan and simple card text. Yu-Gi-Oh now a day, you have to read a whole chapter just to understand the effects and sometime it's confusing. Sigh.. Good old days
I built a pure jurrac beat down deck running 3 ×solidarity in Highschool. I was that crazy kid with a Jurrac deck 😂 it's all fun and games until you get attacked by Jurrac Guaiba with 2500 Atk that brings out another Jurrac beatstick. Generic Back row removal was plentiful in the hidden arsenal days, so keeping them on the field wasnt too hard. Jurrac Giganoto raises the attack of ALL Jurracs on the field 200 atk for every Jurrac in the graveyard. That, plus Solidarity and I'd have the field full of 3000+ atk Jurracs. Meteor wasn't too hard to bring out once Aeolo came out. As soon as you wiped the board, bring back Aeolo and tribute it to bring back Guiaba and start the cycle all over again. I just think of it more like people failed to get a grasp of the mechanics and went with more mainstream decks of the time. I used to give Crystal Beasts and Gladiator Beasts a run for their money.
I really loved Jurracs mostly because their art was really cool! They really cemented Dinosaurs as a FIRE attribute staple which just feels so Yugioh. But yeah sadly they are always disappointing. I think they were slightly more successful in Duel Links with having multiple great Dinosaur-support skills. One of my favorites used both Jurrac Guiaba and Hydrogendon but also Frost And Flame Dragon. But sadly only moderately good at best.
Impact could actually be useful with the trancendasaurus, wipe the entire board while your big monsters are indestructible or just revive them right after and leave the opponent open or at least weakened for your massive monsters to run over them on your turn.
Les go we gonna get a link 1 that breaks the deck again
I tried so hard to make them work, i loved the hidden arsenal archetypes. Especially fables.
DuelLogs notice me, NOTICE ME
Finally, can't wait for the new Jurrac Support
I was wondering where I heard this archetype from and then Jurrac impact came up and I was like “OHHHHHHHHH.” It was one of the first cards I ever got when I was younger I always assumed it was just generic dinosaur support
Hey, Jurrac isn't a failed archetype!
I've summoned Jurrac Aeolo from the main deck with Miscellaneousaurus, like, at least one whole time!
I kinda wish there was a whole archetype for Dino's that could Actually compete with the likes of Kashtira, Mathmechs, and even Ghoti
Could you do a vid about witchcrafters? I tried thus deck seeing as it has great monsters and spells but it really doesnt do anything at all...
can you do dinowrestlers next?
Jurrac Impact works well with Dinowrestler Giga Spinosavate because it protects itself from the trap effect probally the best use for that card.
You should also do Gimmick Puppets
Here's good jurrac support.
Jurrac Continuous or Field Spell
When this card is activated: you can add 1 "Jurrac" card from your Deck to your Hand. You can Normal Summon "Jurrac" monster in addition to your Normal Summon/Set. (You can only gains this effect once per turn.) During the Main Phase: you can target 1 "Jurrac" monster you control; activate that card effect when it destroys a monster by battle as this card effect. You can only use this effect of "Jurrac Continuous or Field Spell" once per turn. You can only activate 1 "Jurrac Continuous or Field Spell" per turn.
You know whats crazy? The field spell could say: >All face up "Jurrac" monsters gain the effects of all other face up "Jurrac" monsters< and it still wouldnt be meta.
ah my children, my poor poor under supported children. this was my first truly "powerful" deck if you can believe it.
I was definitely that silly Jurrac guy and then Evolsaur guy
I still have my Jurrac deck till this day. Also circle of the fire kings good.
Babe wake up, time for more failed archetypes and cards
Such a shame that they're not that good because I think they look really cool. It was my first archetype I built around that got me back into the game since I played in the elementry school playground days. Yeah, it wasn't that great, but it was definitely fun with friends.
Make a vid on Seal of orichalcos and it’s anime arc themed cards please!
If jurrac get support cards and it’s broken most likely a field spell something like jurrac monsters can’t be destroyed unless it’s by battle and during damage calc when a jurrac monster battles you can tribute one monster you control and have it gains its atk or something like that and another synchro boss monster that actually does something and is easier to summon
Think it's good to say that Konami did not went "Yeah let's give this archetype, that nobody plays, support cards so one person thinks it's a good idea to play it now."
Hidden arsenal was a depressing time and beginning of the end of Yu-Gi-Oh for me once we got to pendulums
Meteor was ahead of its time. I feel that if jurracs receive support at this point, it will be a way to continue off of the meteor play.
ill keep this up until it happens but pleeaassseee do a mikanko and libromancer video
Ooh, the commentary was spicy this time around.
This hurts me well, cause the Jurrac's are practically the perfect archetype of Yugioh for me. I like dinos and fire, and this does it. I still even use them, but I admit they are not the best to be used... I just can't let go of them is all and hope they get better support soon.
0:59 I can fix this effect:
_Gains 100 ATK/DEF for every card on the field and in both players hands. Once per turn (Quick Effect), you can change this face-up card’s battle position. The following effect are applied depending on this card’s battle position:_
Attack Position: “Jurrac” monsters card attack again in a row per turn, and deal piercing battle damage if they battle a defense position monster.
Defense Position: Defense Position Jurrac monsters you control cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects.
9:35 you mispoke and mis-labeled, saying that Meteor's effect is "not mandatory" when i think you meant "not optional"
as a dino player i was excited with the idea of having a dino synchro deck. this was not that idea, and i hope to see it improved.
"Giganoto" read that again. Not "Giganto". Comes from "Giganotosaurus"
Jurracs are the reason I play Dinos to this very day.
Always loved the art of the Jurracs, wish they had been something.
