I play Sacred Beasts in MD and honestly its one of my favorite go to decks. Such a fun shutdown deck that I've even shut down some of the very meta decks with ease if i get a good hand.
Nova. Not sure if you realized it or not since you didn’t mention it. But Hyper Blaze counts your opponents trap cards as well as your own. Also a deck that I had joked about throwing the Sacred Beasts in with my friends was D/D/Ds. Since you already run Fiends, continuous spells, and continuous traps. Not saying it would work. But it would be funny.
Hi, not Sacred Beasts but Yubel D/D/D is pretty funny NS Dark Beckoning -> Spirit Gates -> Another Dark Beckoning because haha engine piece Use your second NS from Dark Beckoning on Kepler. Kepler -> Gate Contract -> Lamia, send Gate Contract to GY to SS Lamia, use Kepler and Lamia to make Gilgamesh, pend scale Kepler and Orthos. Link away Dark Beckoning for Almiraj so you have a Spirit Gates target in GY Use Spirit Gates, pitch Yubel, SS Yubel You now have Yubel with Almiraj as Tribute, and more Dark Beckoning in hand that you can use for future Tribute fodder On your subsequent Standby Phases, Kepler in pend scale will destroy your own Yubel, giving you the opportunity to upgrade it After you reach Ultimate Nightmare, use Orthos in your other pend scale to destroy Kepler so you don't end up popping Ultimate Nightmare as well Bonus Gilgamesh to float into any D/D/D extra, like Siegfried or Purple Armageddon
I really appreciate how each of their "attack name" support was made to match their summoning material. I've always wondered if Uria could be a weird tech pick in a theoretical pure Vision HERO deck, since they count as continuous traps while in the S/T zone, much like how Hamon works in Crystal Beasts.
before the structure deck release, my buddy splashed Uria and Hamon into his True Draco deck, with all the continous spell/traps it uses to run it worked kinda consistantly, the sacred beast might not been untargetable menaces like MasterPeace or Metaltron XII, but having a huge atk stat in the side pocket (which pretty much no one expected) came in handy pretty often for him.
I don’t know why, but I really like this archetype. I don’t know if it’s because of the visual/effectual similarities to the Egyptian God Cards, I don’t know if it’s because the support can make them unstoppable engines of destruction, or if it’s because my first experience with then came in the form of Phantasmal Martyr where I saw Uria and though “hey, it’s Slifer the Sky Dragon”, but whatever it is, I love these guys. Even bought three copies of their structure deck and now have my own custom made Sacred Beast deck
I subscribed and I'm going to binge watch your "Explained" series while waiting for your follow-up on the Duel Terminal Storyline. I'm so hyped to listen to your interpretation on the part that's coming since the Gishkis are so sick, everyone deserves to know about DT lore, and you've done it beautifully. Thank you so much!
Holy shit Uria in True Draco as a boss monster is perfect. Especially cause it's tribute related, therefore Monarch cards apply. Genuinely could be amazing
A simple "messenger of peace" is a good continuous spell to put in since it stops your opponents monsters from attacking if you brick on getting out the beasts. And also, during each standby phase, you can choose to pay the 100LP maintenance cost or destroy messenger of peace. Destroy it when your big monsters are ready to attack. And if you have the Spirit Gates spell on field, you can just bring it back to your hand for free to play it every main phase 2 so that the opponent can't (for example) attack with an XYZ monster and go into Zeus to wipe your board.
I've playing around with a 5 card Branded core and the hand traps from the Albaz structure deck. With the amount of plusses Fallen Paradise generates, it's been working wonders. Bonus, Branded Fusion helps to set up your grave on following plays.
Didn't think anyone would read this. Here's my janky list for now, if anyone has any ideas feel free to share. Main Deck: 2x Hamon 2x Raviel 1x Shimmering Scraper 3x Dark Beckoning 3x Chaos Summoning 2x Dark Summoning 2x Fallen of Albaz 3x Effect Veiler 3x Ghost Ogre 1x Chaos Dragon Levianeer 1x Radian the Multidimensional Kaiju 1x Thunder King the Lightningstrike Kaiju 3x Spirit Gates 2x Fallen Paradise 1x Cerulean Skyfire 1x Awakening of the Sacred Beasts 3x Branded Fusion 3x Pot of Extravaganza 1x One for One 1x Foolish Burial 1x Called by the Grave Extra Deck: 3x Mirrorjade 3x Lubellion 3x Albion 2x Sprind 2x Brigrand 2x Titaniklad

One thing I find though is the Extravagance may seem like a good idea in Sacred Beasts but it conflicts with Fallen Paradise and doesn’t let you draw from when ideally you want to end with it on board turn 1.

@@stevemcqwark7061 The list was made with just structure decks so I appreciate any ideas. Was considering dropping Raveal and Beckoning Beast to one, just haven't decided on what I'd replace them with.
I cannot believe you did not mention Salamangreat Almiraj. You normal Beckoning Beast, search either DFD or Core (whichever one you don't have) and use your extra normal on core. Link away Beckoning Beast for Almiraj, then tribute it targeting Core. That effect triggers Core's effect, dumping all three Sacred Beasts, then you DFD for Armityle.
Perfectly fitting. Legit my MD Sacred Beast deck only had one Extra Deck card and it was just Almiraj, my gameplan was locking everything down with Awakening and then just pop Scraper to win. If I needed protection, brought back one of the lesser beasts to link them out. Far better defense than Core ever could be, why would I want to throw away my Sacred Beasts? Dumbest shit.
As a supposed God Archetype stand in like the wicked gods, they look interesting. And with their added supports, they do seem more fun. Not sure how good they're are because I've never invested into them, but they look fun to play. And it seems now Raviel is the sacred beast to only run, at least to me.
If your playing sacred beast trust me your playing all 3 and tbh your best 1st turn beast is usually hamon, and uria is usually summoned 2nd. Funnily enough raviel tends to be last to be summoned as a game ender. But of all the divine beast archetypes Sacred beasts are pretty much the best one tho I guess you could argue nordics but not really.
@@jpawlus33458 hmmm. That's true I suppose. Though like I mentioned I haven't played Sacred Beast so I'll take your word for it. As for the 5D Nordics, same goes for them, I never acted them.
Great video! I really like the Sacred Beasts, it was fun to see Konami retroactively make a janky anime deck with no synergy into a functioning archetype.
Perhaps it missed your thought...but Cerulean Skyfire means that you don't have to rely on continuous spells at all anymore. It can be literally any spell to sac to the lord of thunder.
Funfact: you can use spirit gates to special summon the monster you pitched to its effect, provided you have a monster with 0 attack and def in the grave already. So, you could discard Dark Summoning Beast, special summon it and summon a Sacred Beast while still retaining our normal summon, if another 0/0 fiend was in the grave.
I'm not following the terminology and sequencing of YGO anymore... "Once per turn:" is the condition, "You can discard 1 card;" is the cost, "special summon 1 Fiend monster with 0 ATK/DEF from the GY" is the effect. So in order to activate the effect you need to meet the conditions, but the effect itself needs to be "activatable", meaning, having a 0 ATK/DEF Fiend in your GY also becomes a condition?? And the effect only happens AFTER you paid the cost...so since you paid the cost already you suddenly have another 0 ATK/DEF Fiend in your GY you can chose from to special summon. Common, how can an effect dictate its own condition, which need to be met before activation, and at the same time, after paying the cost the properties of another card not used for meeting the condition changes so that it now happens to meet the same conditions, its still okay to use that changed card in the effect??
@@baukepoelsma The effect can be activated as long as the condition(s) for its activation is valid. In this case, to activate the effect of Spirit Gates, there MUST be a 0/0 Fiend in the graveyard that it can target on resolution BEFORE activation can take place, and THAT particular copy of Spirit Gates cannot have used this effect already, this turn. Once those activation requirements are met, costs are paid, in this case, a card is discarded as cost. That's the important part. The cost is paid before targets are selected. Because of this, the card you discarded for cost is in the graveyard before you select a target to bring back, and is thus a valid target for the effect if the discarded card is a 0/0 Fiend.
I legit played Hamon in True Draco on Master Duel just because I happened to pull a Royal Finish one. I would even make the erroneous claim that it wasn’t the worst card in the deck because Metaltron XII and Majesty Maiden both exist.
For the names, this is what I could find : - Uria coming from Uriel makes sense, since Uriel, meaning "Fire of God", is one of the four archangels. Even though he isn't really related to fire in its depictions (he is modtly associated with summer alongside being a major archangel along with Michael, Gabriel and Raphael), it is by far the most meaningful connection with the YGO monster it represents. - Raziel is the angel of secrets, mystery and laughter, his name meaning "Mystery of God". He is not, as far as I know, mentioned in the Torah or the Bible, and instead appears in Jewish mysticism, most notably in the Sefer ya Zohar, the major book of the Kabbalah. I guess the connection to phantasms can be made. - Haman is a character in the Bible, an antagonistic figure, a Persian King whose goal was to slay the Jews in Persia, and who was trumped by Queen Esther. I fail to see the connection to thunder, but maybe it comes from other texts. In the Qu'ran, the name refers to a completely different character, as "Hāmān" is a title referring to the architect of the Pharaoh. - I didn't find anything much for Amatiel. It seems to be a first name related to "hope" in meaning ? I thought the name also looked similar to Armisael, but there isn't much known about it either besides being related to the womb, and being mostly featured in Neon Genesis Evangelion. So Armityle is kind of a mystery to me.
Uria being a reference to Uriel is a neat connection, but it's just as likely that it's a reference to Uriah the Hittite, a soldier who's death was engineered by King David so that the king could claim the man's wife, Bathsheba, as his own.
I would love to see D/D/D. I only watched part of Arc V but it seemed cool to have a deck use all summoning types, it sucks it was neutered by master rule 4 because I can't find any info on it anywhere
I think it mainly comes down to 2 factors; 1) For as bad as their adaptations to the real game were, the designers can show a bit _too much_ to the Gods; especially in insisting they be tributed out or brought out with with 1-turn revivals. But the Beasts, we can spam out like they're Summoner Monk targets. (Which in fairness, is accurate to their respective anime.) 2) Because they had less catch-up to do to get to their anime selves, new support was already able to boost their pay-off beyond that, like Hamon's Spell/Trap negate on Skyfire. Meanwhile, a lot of what Ra & Obelisk have gotten is either stuff to just get them out or bring them back to their anime levels (and Slifer hasn't exactly gotten much of anything for when it's on field). Only real exceptions are their attack name cards. hopefully that changes going forward now that, aside from protection effects that were pretty inconsistent anyway, all their effects seem to have already made it onto cards in their respective decks. Also, bonus 3) Their Field Spell is great. The official God field, Mound of the Bound Creator, came out first and was made generic level 10 support for the most part. But Fallen Paradise is dedicated, and thus allowed to be amazing; which if neat because it was already amazing in the anime.
@@GiftOfKnowledge-np9vg that's also ignoring the fact that in more cases you'd want to run the 3 sacred beasts in the same deck unlike the egyptian gods which work better in more dedicated decks.
Armityle Summoned by Dimension Fusion Destruction: Gains 10,000 Atk. Cannot be destroyed by Battle. You take no battle damage from attacks involving him (Dimension Fusion Destruction effect), your opponent can attack an Armityle in attack position, but you won't suffer anything. With Fallen Paradise on field it's cannot be targeted or destroyed by card effects. I think he is currently a better fusion than Trilojig.
The Raviel theme benefits greatly from the lair of Darkness support due to its focus on tributing and fiend monsters especially since the field fell itself can summon the required materials for his summon and the activation of his effect and his support monsters effect trigger the in hand and graveyard effect Diablos. Not to mention tributing your opponent's monster to trigger his effect or as cost for viruses is hilarious
I LOVE shoehorning Raviel into any Fiend-Heavy deck, together with fallen paradise Pot of Greed every turn is pretty neat and the reaction of my opponents basically saying "You arent playing this shit" always gets me
Uria also had a high tier trap deck on its release too. Hammon wasn't the only competitor. Infact due to the early trap reliance in early formats its not surprising the trap-centric sacred beast had it's 15 minutes of fame.
When you didn't mention Trilojig with Armytile at first I thought I'm going to comment: "Didn't mention Trilojig 0/10". But in the end you did mention it, so guess that isn't possible anymore :p
Honestly Cerluean Sky Fire has become my favourite card due to Hamon just being cooler than the other beasts and it having the strongest single card negation in the game But The Suppression Pluto is a close second. Hoping you ever do the planet series
Am I the only one who thinks the Armityle retrain is a bit superfluous? I mean yeah, big 1-sided field nuke while also summoning the base version... but if you're using the archetypal fusion spell to summon it, it's just a better option to summon the base version with it, since it keeps Armityle from taking battle damage (which is its last remaining weakness if you already have Fallen Paradise on the field) If you use the retrain instead, yeah you have the base and the opponent's field clear, but they still have their turn and you're sitting on a 0 atk body If it came out before Dimension Fusion Destruction, I'd be a bit more lenient personally as just an easier way to get it with Poly and a fusion substitute, but it was revealed AFTER the structure deck with all the support came out, so it just feels a bit weird to me
6:45 Nova's puns are neverending. First we got him making a pun about O.T.T. (Obelisk The Tormentor) and now we got R.L.O.P (Raviel, Lord Of Phantasms)'s pun which is "It's still pretty good at unRAVIELing your opponent's field." We need him to make more puns.
I gues Uriel makes sense for a card that’s the “Lord of Searing Flames,” given that (at least I think, I’m not reigious so I could be wrong) Uriel wields the flaming sword.
Some trivia. Paradise lost features the Huluppu Tree from the Epic of Gilgamesh the proto story of the garden of eden. The tree is infested with a number of wild animals/demons and he has to drive them out.
Regarding the names Uria, Raviel, Hamon, and Armityle: Haman, dubbed Haman the evil, is told to be an advisor to the Persian king Xerxes (in Judaic and Christian tales he is called Ahasueros). At some point in the Book Esther, Haman is either crucified or hanged on his king's order on a gallow or tree that Haman himself had prepared for the persecution of Jews. His character has been likened to the anti-Christ and while I didn't find any direct relation to thunder or lightning, his death seems to come pretty sudden, as if figuratively struck by God. Additionally, lightning is also associated with punishment which apparently was within the scope of his office. „Uriel“ can be translated as „Fire of God“ and according to some tales Uriel is the angel guarding the entrance to hell which matches the searing flames. „Raziel“ means something along the lines of „Mystery of God“ and Raziel is supposed to have access to the Book of Life where every human life is detailed which conversely might give him some power over death (the summoning of tokens and conversion of monsters into power can be stretched into a reference to this). Unlike these two Amatiel is not an archangel and is associated with hope and rebirth, new life, so one could say that in true Chaos fashion Armityle is a contrapoint to its rather devastating predecessors.
Salad almiraj and beat cop are both great tech. Beat cop protects Fallen Paradise, and Almiraj is an easy way to target Core, as well as protect a sacred beast should Fallen leave the field. In Master Duel, verte is probably the best way to make Dim Fusion Destruction actually usable
Lot's of good analysis here but I want to bring to attention a couple other non staples to use here. Piri Reis Map x3 is absolutely a must. Darkest Diabolos lord of the lair for this deck is nasty. Crackdown combos soooo well with Awakening of the Sacred Beast. Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Max is a must have Xyz for this. Finish your BP crushing with your sacred beast. Let's say they have 1600 lp left, MP2 Gustav. 😎
Also for trilojig I fused my friends rainbow neos and 2 of my sacred beasts several times in a duel with super poly 😂 neos had me worried but I had super poly ready all times
Trilojig. Why have I never heard of that card? Sounds like I gotta at least try it out in Trains once. Especially since Citadel can be a material and a way to trigger its effect.
Hamon is also a JoJo reference. Hamon is sun-like energy that manifests itself as lightning. Hamon (the card) is the Lord of *Striking Thunder* and is the evil version of The Winged Dragon of *Ra.*
The Carthaginians, who spoke a language closely related to Hebrew, worshiped a storm god called Ba'al (Lord) Hammon, a "Lord of Striking Thunder", if you will. His name indicates he may even have been a merger of the Semitic Storm God Hadad and the Egyptian God Amun, considered an aspect of Ra, hence his design.
i'm surprised you didn't mention skill drain, considering their own one-sided version. better yet, awakening can recycle skill drain for extra frustration :P
My sacred beasts deck runs dpe a lot of floodgates last resort would be to fusion summon the chaos phantom if I don’t have skill drain!!! Also there can only be one Is good same with vanity emptiness
3:41 Hi. I can help here. I've never heard of Raziel and Amatiel prior to watching this vid, as angelology isn't a part of the normal curriculum. I can help with the other 2, though. Uriel is one of the Four Archangels (best term that fits and non-Jews will understand) in Judaism. (The other 3 are Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael. (Before you say, "No, there's 7 Archangels!", 1: that's a Christian thing, and 2: that's from the Book of Enoch with The Watchers.) "Uriel" literally translates to "Light of G-d". Haman, on the other hand, was basically Hitler's biblical predecessor. Because 1 Jew wouldn't bow down to him because it's not a Jewish this to physically bow to anyone but G-d, Haman was like, "Genocide sounds like a good idea". Of course, this failed because Ester, the queen, was Jewish, and told the king, Ahashveiros (I don't know how it would be spelled in English, ok?) that she would be killed if Haman's plan went through, so Haman got hung. (It's an oversimplification, I know, but if you want it in more detail, read the Book of Ester for yourself. It's a book in the Hebrew Bible.)
I would der if uria has any kind of synergy with the labyrinth deck or am I reaching?? Owell back in the day I use to is raviel in my random dark fiend deck with yubel and darkness neosphere.. it probly sucked but I had alot of fun wit it
I find that if you use them right with egyptian god slime and the egyptian gods your opponent is gunna have a hard time depending on how their deck is built, works half the time for me not really reliable though.
Is weird to me that only Raviel got a signature move card, I know is the most powerfull of the beasts in the anime but the other sacred beast could use the help as well, specially Uria to gain the anime effect to discard a trap to revive it from Gy

I fail to see the connection to thunder, but maybe it comes from other texts. In the Qu'ran, the name refers to a completely different character, as "Hāmān" is a title referring to the architect of the Pharaoh.
- I didn't find anything much for Amatiel. It seems to be a first name related to "hope" in meaning ? I thought the name also looked similar to Armisael, but there isn't much known about it either besides being related to the womb, and being mostly featured in Neon Genesis Evangelion. So Armityle is kind of a mystery to me.
Uria being a reference to Uriel is a neat connection, but it's just as likely that it's a reference to Uriah the Hittite, a soldier who's death was engineered by King David so that the king could claim the man's wife, Bathsheba, as his own.
Hamon is a name for Gabriel they are all Old Testament Jewish references
24:15 did you call my name, prehaps, goldennova?
Fallen Paradise is the coolest card name no cap
I would love to see D/D/D. I only watched part of Arc V but it seemed cool to have a deck use all summoning types, it sucks it was neutered by master rule 4 because I can't find any info on it anywhere
The only one that I know that works with them is Uria/Uriel, as Uriel uses purifying flames.
Honestly at this point the sacred beast have better support than the god cards which is kinda weird
I think it mainly comes down to 2 factors;
1) For as bad as their adaptations to the real game were, the designers can show a bit _too much_ to the Gods; especially in insisting they be tributed out or brought out with with 1-turn revivals. But the Beasts, we can spam out like they're Summoner Monk targets. (Which in fairness, is accurate to their respective anime.)
2) Because they had less catch-up to do to get to their anime selves, new support was already able to boost their pay-off beyond that, like Hamon's Spell/Trap negate on Skyfire. Meanwhile, a lot of what Ra & Obelisk have gotten is either stuff to just get them out or bring them back to their anime levels (and Slifer hasn't exactly gotten much of anything for when it's on field). Only real exceptions are their attack name cards. hopefully that changes going forward now that, aside from protection effects that were pretty inconsistent anyway, all their effects seem to have already made it onto cards in their respective decks.
Also, bonus 3) Their Field Spell is great. The official God field, Mound of the Bound Creator, came out first and was made generic level 10 support for the most part. But Fallen Paradise is dedicated, and thus allowed to be amazing; which if neat because it was already amazing in the anime.
@@GiftOfKnowledge-np9vg that's also ignoring the fact that in more cases you'd want to run the 3 sacred beasts in the same deck unlike the egyptian gods which work better in more dedicated decks.
Can't wait for the master o' faster explained vid. Hyped
Uria is bestie with eldich
This is now new lore for eldich
Armityle Summoned by Dimension Fusion Destruction: Gains 10,000 Atk. Cannot be destroyed by Battle. You take no battle damage from attacks involving him (Dimension Fusion Destruction effect), your opponent can attack an Armityle in attack position, but you won't suffer anything. With Fallen Paradise on field it's cannot be targeted or destroyed by card effects. I think he is currently a better fusion than Trilojig.
Only one more god based archetype to go. Nordics.
I wondered why Hamon specifically was in the crystal beast structure deck
Also for some reason hamon can do that dumb captain trick that makes your opponent unable to attack
Obligatory quote whenever you heal LP off of Awakening:
"DRINK!"
Hope to see you explain the Qli archetype in the future
Barricade borg blocker+one for one+cyber stein+there can be only one+deck lockdown
The Raviel theme benefits greatly from the lair of Darkness support due to its focus on tributing and fiend monsters especially since the field fell itself can summon the required materials for his summon and the activation of his effect and his support monsters effect trigger the in hand and graveyard effect Diablos. Not to mention tributing your opponent's monster to trigger his effect or as cost for viruses is hilarious
I LOVE shoehorning Raviel into any Fiend-Heavy deck, together with fallen paradise
Pot of Greed every turn is pretty neat and the reaction of my opponents basically saying "You arent playing this shit" always gets me
Uria also had a high tier trap deck on its release too. Hammon wasn't the only competitor. Infact due to the early trap reliance in early formats its not surprising the trap-centric sacred beast had it's 15 minutes of fame.
When you didn't mention Trilojig with Armytile at first I thought I'm going to comment: "Didn't mention Trilojig 0/10". But in the end you did mention it, so guess that isn't possible anymore :p
Honestly Cerluean Sky Fire has become my favourite card due to Hamon just being cooler than the other beasts and it having the strongest single card negation in the game
But The Suppression Pluto is a close second. Hoping you ever do the planet series
Am I the only one who thinks the Armityle retrain is a bit superfluous? I mean yeah, big 1-sided field nuke while also summoning the base version... but if you're using the archetypal fusion spell to summon it, it's just a better option to summon the base version with it, since it keeps Armityle from taking battle damage (which is its last remaining weakness if you already have Fallen Paradise on the field)
If you use the retrain instead, yeah you have the base and the opponent's field clear, but they still have their turn and you're sitting on a 0 atk body
If it came out before Dimension Fusion Destruction, I'd be a bit more lenient personally as just an easier way to get it with Poly and a fusion substitute, but it was revealed AFTER the structure deck with all the support came out, so it just feels a bit weird to me
Still waiting for the six samurai archetype video.
Oh I need that!
patreon?
Congratulations on 30K subs!
Might have been nice to have Trilojig get a little buff when released tbh.
6:45 Nova's puns are neverending. First we got him making a pun about O.T.T. (Obelisk The Tormentor) and now we got R.L.O.P (Raviel, Lord Of Phantasms)'s pun which is "It's still pretty good at unRAVIELing your opponent's field." We need him to make more puns.
I gues Uriel makes sense for a card that’s the “Lord of Searing Flames,” given that (at least I think, I’m not reigious so I could be wrong) Uriel wields the flaming sword.
Some trivia. Paradise lost features the Huluppu Tree from the Epic of Gilgamesh the proto story of the garden of eden. The tree is infested with a number of wild animals/demons and he has to drive them out.
Wait a minute, is dark beckoning beast the child of uria, hamon and raziel born from their power?
The three Phantasms… nice to see other enthusiasts.
I want to see Wicked Gods, even though they don't have any support besides Divine Evolution
Well he technically already did in the Egyptian god video
@@sonic21blast88 Forgot about that. Okay, well I want a Nordic video.
Regarding the names Uria, Raviel, Hamon, and Armityle:
Haman, dubbed Haman the evil, is told to be an advisor to the Persian king Xerxes (in Judaic and Christian tales he is called Ahasueros).
At some point in the Book Esther, Haman is either crucified or hanged on his king's order on a gallow or tree that Haman himself had prepared for the persecution of Jews.
His character has been likened to the anti-Christ and while I didn't find any direct relation to thunder or lightning, his death seems to come pretty sudden, as if figuratively struck by God.
Additionally, lightning is also associated with punishment which apparently was within the scope of his office.
„Uriel“ can be translated as „Fire of God“ and according to some tales Uriel is the angel guarding the entrance to hell which matches the searing flames.
„Raziel“ means something along the lines of „Mystery of God“ and Raziel is supposed to have access to the Book of Life where every human life is detailed which conversely might give him some power over death (the summoning of tokens and conversion of monsters into power can be stretched into a reference to this).
Unlike these two Amatiel is not an archangel and is associated with hope and rebirth, new life, so one could say that in true Chaos fashion Armityle is a contrapoint to its rather devastating predecessors.
Next should be Nordics if he didn't already do them
Salad almiraj and beat cop are both great tech. Beat cop protects Fallen Paradise, and Almiraj is an easy way to target Core, as well as protect a sacred beast should Fallen leave the field. In Master Duel, verte is probably the best way to make Dim Fusion Destruction actually usable
Lot's of good analysis here but I want to bring to attention a couple other non staples to use here. Piri Reis Map x3 is absolutely a must. Darkest Diabolos lord of the lair for this deck is nasty. Crackdown combos soooo well with Awakening of the Sacred Beast. Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Max is a must have Xyz for this. Finish your BP crushing with your sacred beast. Let's say they have 1600 lp left, MP2 Gustav. 😎
Telephon FTK really was a great time to be alive
Raviol, Lord of Pastasms
While Shimmering Scraper is about “big number,” you still have to combo it out with Raviel to get there.
Also for trilojig I fused my friends rainbow neos and 2 of my sacred beasts several times in a duel with super poly 😂 neos had me worried but I had super poly ready all times
Trilojig. Why have I never heard of that card? Sounds like I gotta at least try it out in Trains once. Especially since Citadel can be a material and a way to trigger its effect.
Wonder which of these new cards may make it into Duel Links in the next box
I hope nearly all of them (mostly the summon beasts)
Hamon is also a JoJo reference.
Hamon is sun-like energy that manifests itself as lightning.
Hamon (the card) is the Lord of *Striking Thunder* and is the evil version of The Winged Dragon of *Ra.*
The Carthaginians, who spoke a language closely related to Hebrew, worshiped a storm god called Ba'al (Lord) Hammon, a "Lord of Striking Thunder", if you will. His name indicates he may even have been a merger of the Semitic Storm God Hadad and the Egyptian God Amun, considered an aspect of Ra, hence his design.
We get the other, now the final truo
🗿
i'm surprised you didn't mention skill drain, considering their own one-sided version. better yet, awakening can recycle skill drain for extra frustration :P
Ham is the best og but in blanket effect it’s ravioli
Only in Yu-Gi-Oh can a card with restrictions for it's power then need a card that nullifies the restrictions to make it usable
My sacred beasts deck runs dpe a lot of floodgates last resort would be to fusion summon the chaos phantom if I don’t have skill drain!!!
Also there can only be one Is good same with vanity emptiness
do frightfur
and fluffal
So in the lesser beast part did anyone else pick up that Dark Cloud soundtrack?
You forgot to list the effect that says Armytile cant be destroyed by battle
Can you do a video on the Wicked Gods?
Idk man... In duel links.. That red fake comes in handy way more than that red gawd
3:41 Hi. I can help here.
I've never heard of Raziel and Amatiel prior to watching this vid, as angelology isn't a part of the normal curriculum. I can help with the other 2, though.
Uriel is one of the Four Archangels (best term that fits and non-Jews will understand) in Judaism. (The other 3 are Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael. (Before you say, "No, there's 7 Archangels!", 1: that's a Christian thing, and 2: that's from the Book of Enoch with The Watchers.) "Uriel" literally translates to "Light of G-d".
Haman, on the other hand, was basically Hitler's biblical predecessor. Because 1 Jew wouldn't bow down to him because it's not a Jewish this to physically bow to anyone but G-d, Haman was like, "Genocide sounds like a good idea". Of course, this failed because Ester, the queen, was Jewish, and told the king, Ahashveiros (I don't know how it would be spelled in English, ok?) that she would be killed if Haman's plan went through, so Haman got hung. (It's an oversimplification, I know, but if you want it in more detail, read the Book of Ester for yourself. It's a book in the Hebrew Bible.)
I would der if uria has any kind of synergy with the labyrinth deck or am I reaching?? Owell back in the day I use to is raviel in my random dark fiend deck with yubel and darkness neosphere.. it probly sucked but I had alot of fun wit it
hamon is best no contest, and also my stuff is lightning, if you guys lose to a hamon, thats me
I find that if you use them right with egyptian god slime and the egyptian gods your opponent is gunna have a hard time depending on how their deck is built, works half the time for me not really reliable though.
These 3 end up helping a girl by give up thier life force after events gx anime really makes me chuckle a bit.
Ah yes oreo ham ravioli the sacred beasts cards
What about the wicked gods?
He already Covered them in the Egyptian God Video.
I never understood the point of Trilojig and no idea where the name comes from
Marincess archetype
Jack Atlas explained!!!!!
Urea, Hermann and Ravioli
Is weird to me that only Raviel got a signature move card, I know is the most powerfull of the beasts in the anime but the other sacred beast could use the help as well, specially Uria to gain the anime effect to discard a trap to revive it from Gy
Aren't Hyperblaze and Cerulean Skyfire signature move cards to Uria and Hamon respectively?
Cerulean Skyfire and Hyperblaze:
Did you forget about us?!
*Stab
i thought here would be loooooore ! :(
Remember if you hate altergeist you're just a bad player
Yu gi oh is a big joke now, the player base is a meme on its own, y’all are ridiculous
