@philosophicaljay3449 I'd love to see a special themed set like that, like the Legendary box sets. It's been 3 years since the structure deck that they got real supports and I just really want them and Fairy Tail to get something more useful to them
Great video. Only a small negative: during the tech picks I missed seeing the cards you were suggesting. It was just your icon during the first half of the tech picks. Otherwise great video. Please keep up the good work! I look forward to your explained videos.
Charmers were the first cards I ever loved ever since I was a kid. I always had made a deck with them before archetypes were a thing, and them getting a structure deck blew my mind, even though there sadly wasnt much supports shown but i was happy either way. The fact that they even now have scale figures just shows how massively popular they are. I hate the fact that we still do not have Happy Lover and Metabat getting their Awakened forms, as well as Dharc getting his alternate art for his Familiar-Possessed form. Happy Lover and Metabat would actually be heavily used in the deck and could make the field spell more viable What i hope to see in the future is more supports to give the deck more viability and consistency. An actual boss monster could make the deck more aggressive, id love it if it was a non-link monster like a lv 8 fusion or rank 4 Xyz. A rank 4 Xyz could actually be more useful as this deck can potentially make enough Rank 4s with the familiars and could eventually turbo into Utopic Draco Future. More spells/traps can give off more search options from the cards we already have that searches and these cards could have effects that either grants extra normal summons, prevents other Possessed spells/traps from being destroyed by card effects, grants a Familiar-Possessed their effects ignoring the condition when summoned, and/or quickly change attributes of the opponent's monster from the field or GY.
I had a couple of the Albaz fusions in a Charmer deck I was running and I remember dueling against a Branded player and...let's just say Dharc link summon and stealing Albaz from the grave and then *fusing* my opponent's Mirrorjade with *his* Albaz? Lots of fun.
Charmers are interesting. I still dont get how they're tied to the duel terminal lore but still cool. Also waiting to see what editor shenanigans are afoot in this video. Will they finally tell us if Doriado was able to land a date with Avramax or did her dark sister ruin her chances of it
The main way they fit into Duel Terminal is that each of them seems to be from a Tuel Terminal tribe. Winda is from the Gusto, and Aria seems to be from the Gishki. No idea what tribe the others might be from. All of them apparently left their homes and somehow found each other.
Winda has a Ritual Beast form, which is the successor to the Gusto archetype, and she is related to the Ritual Beast Tamer who was captured by the Shadolls, if I remember right.
Charmers literally are what got me into everything I'm into today. I was given Wynn the Wind Charmer by my younger brother when we were growing up through foster care, and in my desire to collect them all, I ended up making a whole character inspired by her and created an entire IP centered around elemental manipulation. Now I'm making games based on elements thanks to Wynn when she FIRST CAME OUT. My nostalgia is melting my brain. I can't even go into all the things these girls helped me discover about myself. My love of spellcasters and wizardry, the idea of familiars, etc. Thank you Patrons!
I love Charmers a lot, but I would like to see some actual boss monsters for the archetype. Either the Charmers themselves or the Familiars getting to amp up. I know the deck has a power of friendship vibe, but it would be cool to have a plan B if your backrow gets torn apart. Your field stability relies heavily on Unpossesed and Awkening of the possessed, and without them, beating over anything above a level 4 monster is challenging.
@umbralumbreon7380 Doriado herself ought to be the official boss monster for Charmers. I'm not sure if this actual lore is real where she's said to be their mentor so I had hoped we would see her become a boss monster that plays well in taking advantage of different attributes
I believe a great boss monster would be a Fusion boss that takes 2+ monsters (one of them being a Charmer). It would be cool if it was treated as having all the attributes used for the materials used, and also gained effects based on the amount of attributes that it has.
@akiraishin7141 I had that thought too like it can be treated as a Familiar-Possessed or Charmer monster, can gain different attributes based on the materials used and have multiple effects based on those attributes. I also had thought a rank 4 Xyz could really benefit with the deck too as you potentially make alot of rank 4 plays with the familiars and could turbo into Utopic Draco Future who can also steal monsters.
Either that, or also you could make Link 1s for the level 5 familiars. That way they can be easily sent to the GY to search the Spell/Traps, while getting a monster that could have a useful effect like granting another normal summon, or quick effect disrupting the enemy.
Charmers are one of those themes that they have a habit of slow rolling support for. That's why the latest Hiita was just released recently(alongside a bunch of misellaneous Fire support), and the next Eria will probably be out on the following year(though the last big "wave" of Water theme support was just last year I believe).
I believe the next Charmer-related card would be in the next set after Age of Overlord. Although I can't be too sure this time because there was a huge gap of no Charmer card between Power of the Elements and Duelist Nexus
Yeah if they keep the trend of revamping Structure Decks, Eria Channeler will probably be released with an Atlantean Structure Deck R. Which would be fitting since Atlanteans trigger when discarded, too
@panblu it's wishful thinking since we do have them as links where people thought it wouldn't happen, but it did. They're getting left out since the structure deck only focused on the original 4, and we still don't have their familiars evolved forms either
As a pure Charmer duelist, might I say at 19:35 that while Ichirin may LOOK like it won't do much in the long run, do note that, in my experience on master duel, other duelists don't tend to read their opponents cards. I've had many situations where Ichirin consistently got rid of important combo-starters, because the opponent usually starts with them. Furthermore, even after they realize the effect negation that's on the board, they either try to brute force their way through or end up with lowered moral due to losing their first effect each turn.
Really wish their field spell allowed them to quick effect change the attribute a monster on the field and quick effect flip a card on the field face-up or something
This was an excellent summary and breakdown of the Charmer archetype. This deck is often overshadowed by the presence of the Link Charmers, so it was refreshing to see their true strengths highlighted. You've earned yourself a sub! :D
That open with the Avatar reference sent a wave of disappointed over me as I realized they don't have some sort boss fusion form(s) a al Captain planet. HUGE missed opportunity. Like they could even have story line where they fight against Monarchs. So much untapped lore creating potential
I had that feeling too. They have so many cards but lack the story lore to know all about them yet they're connected to other stories in some way. They absolutely needed a boss monster that just ties them together. Charmers vs Monarchs is also something I had thought about too.
The best way to play charmers is to hard focus on the 1500 def spellcaster line up and use Charmers as an engine with their earth stuff (Aussa, Nefariouser, etc) and Spell and trap line up. Decks like Magistus, Dogmatika and Branded have some really good 1500 def spellcasters like Zoroa, the Ecclesia's, Quem and Cartesia to name a few and they all pair really well in a big 1500 def spellcaster pile deck that can pump out some surprisingly strong end boards. You can go as far of splashing in other archetypes like Gravekeeper's, Windwitches, Incas and Fairy tails to vary up you're lists. Ascator dawnwalker is a 1.5 card combo for ATOP nefariouser archfiend and a level 8 synchro which is really nice as well as cards like Gravekeeper's shaman is a soul drain in monster form you can send to the gy off of Magicians souls (Great if you hate Tearlamanet in MD). Overall Charmer is an insanely versatile deck with a ton of potential builds such as a Charmer Volcanic FTK, a flip penguin version using Eda the sun magician and Penguin squire that can summon Tzolkin with a searched s/t for Crystal wing and the aforementioned Dogmatika Magistus Charmer pile (DMC) to name a few.
@@IamJerf You can actually use Lyna and Dharc with their Familiar possessed forms as a search engine with Branded. Namely with the Bystial to search out cards like Cartesia and Quem. Funnily enough in Dharcs case you can search Silent magician and summon her straight away and get a spell negate on your board. They work incredibly well with shadow's light and duality.
I've found the most powerful version is to focus them around lockdown cards like Skill Drain, Secret Village, Summon Limit, and so forth. A single lv4 charmer + village + skill drain or summon limit + Awakening. locks your opponent down hard.
@@shadowspider9 yeah basically without all the techs and engines, a Charmer deck with floodgates is always viable as all you'll do is beat them up with a 3000+ Atk Familiar-Possessed
@@shadowspider9 you can actually use ecole de zone with charmers and floodgates like rivalry and summon limit. The charmer backrow either makes you plus, set up the gy or you are stright up immune to the destruction effect of de zone ahilst your opponent is not. Whats even funnier is that De zone spawns a spellcaster type token which when used with rivalry will prevent them from summoning anything none spellcaster thanks to the token you gave them. Charmers being spellcaster means you can summon as many as you want. Finally with summon limit, the summon lf the monster and token meets the full requirment of summon limit and will lock them out, charmers being immune thanks to awakening means you can summon even more afterwards whilst your opponent will be stuck just summoning low atk tokens. "Familiar De Zone" is honestly a really funny stun/floodgate deck you can run.
3:46 You've forgotten at least one example of a monster that summons itself from the Main Deck, besides the Familiar Possessed and the Awakening of the Possessed monsters: *Dark Sage!* Of course, it can ONLY be summoned that way, unlike these cards.
Having finished the video now, I think he actually was alluding to Dark Sage being the other card with a similar summoning condition that's tenuously connected by lore, since he pointed out a Dark Magician reference in one of the cards.
It's one of my favorite decks to use, it always feels fun to steal away a blue eyes. I really hope they can expand on this with more than Link Monster love your content
I need to mess around more with em, but the Awakening of the Possessed can easily be made in Magikey with some finagling, especially Nefariouser Archfiend since it gets you a monster back.
The first card pack I ever opened had charmers in them (I only bought precons before), and I fell in love with the archetype instantly. When my brother saw there was a structure deck with them, he bought me three ("three? Why would I need three?!"), and now this yugiboomer plays again. I main charmers and try to stick them wherever I can. Magistus also works really well with them since all the monsters are of different attributes, and the combo starter is 1500 DEF.
I always play the Familiars and Link Charmers with Fortune Fairies, since having six attributes of Spellcasters that all have special summon conditions makes it very easy to swarm the field. Not to mention, Miracle Stone provides its ATK boost to ALL Spellcaster monsters, not just Fortune Fairies. And to top it all off, when you link summon a Link Charmer, Awakening lets you draw a card- and if you draw a Fortune Fairy, it summons immediately, and if you draw a Familiar, it can summon for free. Combine that with whatever you steal from your opponent's GY, and you have Link-4 material.
Incredible Ecclesia, the Virtuous, Witchcrafter Golem, The Iris Swordsoul, Hat tricker, and the adventure engine works with the charmers. Angraecum umbrella can be used to get Fortune lady every out. Card like mind control and change of heart helps in the deck as well.
The adventurer package is great in charmer as well. You can get multiple attributes on the field + a negate. Also, my favorite charmer is probably Hiita!
I want more Lyna Support, I'm bias I don't care, she is cute, I want Happy Lovers and alternate forms of Lyna, Fill out Dharc and Eria too, it's not like it would make any attribute significantly more powerful
I really love the whole Charmers archetype, cool to see just how many different forms they and their familiars have taken over the years! Also they're a really fun deck, I'd just like to see them get a big archetype boss monster plus familiar possessed forms for Happy Lover and Metabat, then I think they'll really be cooking! Oh as for my favorite charmer, gotta be Hiita I love me some "fiery" redheads!
Awwww yeah Duel Terminal tie in! I... presume that the Duel Terminal world is one of the dozen parallel worlds mentioned in GX? And I think the crew even ran into General Freed in season 2 and 3? But my memory isn't the best? So... lotsa connections! And a MULTIVERSE VIDEO YESSSSS
I love this archetype. These cards are too fair; they need more cards that let them recover resources or extend plays. They need a spell card that searches "a non-spellcaster monster that can be special summoned if a spellcaster is on the field" to add their familiars to hand. And a spell that lets them add or special summon themselves from the GY.
There is one godsend for this deck to fulfill the ability to search a Familiar, and that is Witch of the Black Forest. Summon her, link her off for Artemis, and you can search any of the pets. This is ideal because they can dodge the restriction of Witch of the Black Forest and be summoned to the field. Ideally, you search Nefariouser Archfiend to get the Awakening of the Possessed Archfiend from the deck and use it's reborn effect to bring her back. If you happen to have another Familiar in hand, you can do the same combo, minus the search from Witch. Link off the stronger familiars and you can search not 1, but 2 of the Possessed cards. ...either that or just search Maxx C and pass :')
Well thank god they added the spell and deck devastator called eclipse Which has more than one effect. The only drawback is that your pony gets to draw as many cars that were flipped on their side of the field and place them in their hunless. You're putting a spell or a trap of some kind of active or going to be activated? That 1 either prevents or does the opposite effect. You're kind of hot to go to Deal with the fact that you just give your opponent an advantage
Love these videos bro!!! Thx 4 the updated vid & xtra tips. Already made a charmer deck in master duel but now this vid will help me critique it better. THANKS NOVA!
I don't know if you agree with this, but you can also squeeze an evil eye. Both the monsters and spells and trap. It's a theme type that would fit in with the dark type. Charmer I'm still considering the light type what was fit in there? I'm thinking fairies maybe honor Not sure what other ones I would throw in there I could always throw in dark corner, but it's a dark type. Not a light type and therefore not a fiend
Hiita was my 1st yugioh card my name is based of of the set code 028 and the fox in the background of her art work I have her in a protected case on my desk
"The only other example [of summoning itself from the Main Deck] is in the Charmer continuity." ...Theinen the Great Sphinx, Dark Sage, Red-Eyes Black Metal Dragon, and Metalzoa are related to Charmers? Huh, who knew?
i'm the first!! i love charmers on master duel my charmer deck has traps that effect attributes and ones that makes monsters stay a different attribute than their original
Idk if you didn't know or didn't care but there are other "Summon self from deck" cards. Black Metal Dragon and Metal Zoa, but considering both are incredibly bad I understand not seeing them worth mentioning, there's probably a few more but I know these As a side note it would be cool to see "Metal Morph" support, it was an interesting idea in card design held back by the fact that the payoff was 99/100 times a vanilla that was worse than what you cashed in to get it, Maybe they could retrain the whole weird mechanic, like tributing an opponent's equiped monster to cash them in for appropriate monsters based on the type of card tributed, like a techno organic virus, and maybe make the cards 0 attack extenders so they aren't bricks, but copy original stats if they are summoned via the deck equip/tribute method.
Konami, I swear to God, if you don’t print the Channelers in matching Starlight or Quarter Century rarities and leave the set as is, i will burn the building to the ground
They always give the Charmers in such unorganized rarities. Hiita's Link-2 strangely enough is the most odd one because she's the only one with a common rare, no Ultra Rare, and a Super that's made available only from the OTS pack.
Always loved the charmers even before they became an archetype Just kinda sad unga bunga beat down not very good rank 4 maker is all they can do, and not mix well as a whole with anything. If only the familiar possessed were normal monsters then magikey charmers would be quite the sight
Not only does Dark Spirit Art feature the Dark Magician circle but also a certain other object in the back-right corner that... I'm sure has some sort of effect but my mind just happens to be drawing a blank on, probably some obscure thing i've never had explained.
i have them i got them on valentimes day,i had them on order a few weeks ago and they arrived just in time for valentimes day,they were gift from myself to myself.
My main deck is a mix between charmers and element sabers and Doriado. Quite funny to play whit Awakening of the possessed and Elemental palace on the field. I always surprise my friends when I say that I attack his big boss monster whit a lvl4 whit over 3000 attack
You didn’t include the best tech, it’s a continuous trap called “Rainbowlution Lab” basically, target a monster, it’s now all attributes and a machine. All attributes, which means all the charmers work on it, oh and did I mention that the continuous spell doesn’t require different monsters to checks it’s attack gain effect?
Charmers are my personal favourite. I've always liked using cards from my opponent as resources, and they did exactly that. But until the Structure Deck, they were insanely brittle and difficult to use, to the point of feeling like a deliberate joke of an archetype. But now, they actually have combos and setups that can lead to massive payoffs. Unfortunately, juggling 4-6 attribute targeting lines is kinda hard, so most Charmer Decks are highly brick-vulnerable. By the way, Charmers work exceptionally well with Kaijus. Through them, 90% of the setup is under you control, instead of having to hope for the right girl against the right color. You just off the enemy boss monster as Kaiju fodder, then flip your Charmer to immediately take the Kaiju for yourself - even better if you had two in hand, which would then both be on your own field. Then you Link them into the same Link Charmer to prevent your charmer from getting shot and you losing the Kaiju, instead reviving it from GY for permanent access. Another variant that works really well Is Charmer-Invoked, since Aleister is searchable, and his fusion monsters cover all attributes, plus Invoked Elysium functioning as an omni-attribute boss monsters to instantly max the boosts from backrow supports, including Dark Doriado in the Pendulum Zone.
I sure hope that Konami release the advanced forms of Happy Lover, Meda Bat, and Lynn’s, and Dharc’s posessed Familar forms one and the rest of the level 5 forms of the other charmers. Like seriously. But I also hope that they get others forms of support as well.
Guess I was a bit Charmed tland didn't realize how good that deck actually is even though I have it. Don't worry I'll get Familiar with them soon enough
Idk if you didn't know or didn't care but there are other "Summon self from deck" cards. Black Metal Dragon and Metal Zoa, but considering both are incredibly bad I understand not seeing them worth mentioning, there's probably a few more but I know these
What about Archnemeses Protos? Much like Elemental Grace Doriado it requires multiple attributes in the graveyard it is easy to summon and can destroy all monsters of a certain attribute.
Dear golden ova I got a charmed at myself not a true set of 3 mind you, but I noticed that there were 2 creatures. One is a light based spell castle who's a charmer? The other ones that dark based spell caster. Who's a termer that aren't included? And my thing is and I don't know if you're willing to do a secondary retake on this. I don't know the names of the monsters that are non spell casters that are related to it.
I like to use this series with Aleister The Invoker. Also, Dharc is my favourite because I'm an edgy nerd, but also find it adorable how awkward he must be surrounded solely by cute girls
Something I find odd is that despite the fact the charmers being connected to both the duel terminal lore and marauding captain lore thanks to Wynn and jigabyte I don't think the charmers themselves have any lore.
Yeah that's the biggest missed opportunity for them. They're connected to so many other lores but they themselves don't have their own story, not even the card arts give us a clear answer except for "cute girls doing cute things". Konami should make a manga series for them, if they could make Sky Strikers then no doubt Charmers deserve it more.
Oh this is nostalgia😊, I had my own collection of charmer cards. Still do. And out of the group I've always been more attentive to use Hina and a bunch of fire monsters.
I don't think that the Gagagigo with Erina is actually meant to be the same character as the one from the Marauding Captain story line. They're only ever shown together on Charmers/Familiar-Possessed cards, while none of the Gagagigo/Maruading Captain stuff directly and clearly references Erina.
@@emonychan I just read the Gagagigo section, there is no direct reference to Eria there. It mentions Gagagigo having feelings for "a girl," but it doesn't give anything more than that. The Charmers section of Master Guide 2 does have this, "By her side is "Gigobyte", who has just begun his journey into manhood." Which does admittedly allude to his story outlined in Master Guide 1, but it doesn't still directly state him to be the same character. To be fair, Marauding Captain, Inpachi, and Gagagigo's sections make no direct mention of each other either despite being pretty integral to each other's lore. However, I think that is more a reason to not treat these as definitive sources for the lore.
@@magicianofd8434 It's literally all we have though, and it makes far more sense for a character with a unique name and look like Gigobyte to be the same monster than it does for it to be different. One should not have to be hand-held through the lore to connect the dots, after all. Further, we have to assume that if a card shares aesthetics and name, it IS the same character or at least a descendant/cousin/relation because that's kind of just how YuGiOh works. There's literally no reason to believe there are two Gigobytes.
@@magicianofd8434 Also worth noting: You can link Charmers to Marauding Captain using Petit Dragon two ways: 1. Mokey Mokey appears with Petit Dragon on the "Normal" cards and will eventually be seen with Goblin of Greed on Dark Factory, as well as with the Traptrix ogres on several Trap Hole cards. 2. The foot of Manticore of Darkness is on Return to the Normal. Manticore is then seen with D.D. Warrior Lady on Return from the Different Dimension, who is seen fighting Dai on several cards, who in turn is seen in The A. Forces with several figures from the Marauding Captain storyline.
@@emonychan Considering the cards themselves give us more information than those entries, it's not all we have. In fact, it seems like it'd more useful to reference the actual cards over the Master Guide articles in just about every scenario. Moreover, you said that Master Guide 1 made clear they were the same character when it actually doesn't, that's not asking to be handheld. Until there is a clear and direct reference to them being the same character, I am free to believe otherwise. Also, the majority of Yugioh archetypes don't have any actual story associated with them, thus we can assume (especially earlier on) this isn't a high priority of the game. So, it makes more sense to just assume that Gigobyte was used simply because it was a weak water monster, that aesthetically looked good with Eria without regard to any associated lore. Because again, if Eria is meant to be cannon to that story line, why does she not appear or be clearly referenced in any non-Charmers/Familiar-Possessed cards?

If we get a pack that gives extra support to the Charmers AND Fairy Tails, then I genuinely think that we have the potential for a fun rogue deck.

A rank 4 Xyz could actually be more useful as this deck can potentially make enough Rank 4s with the familiars and could eventually turbo into Utopic Draco Future.
More spells/traps can give off more search options from the cards we already have that searches and these cards could have effects that either grants extra normal summons, prevents other Possessed spells/traps from being destroyed by card effects, grants a Familiar-Possessed their effects ignoring the condition when summoned, and/or quickly change attributes of the opponent's monster from the field or GY.
Charmer's one of the low key scariest decks there are for taking your cards and using them against you.
I had a couple of the Albaz fusions in a Charmer deck I was running and I remember dueling against a Branded player and...let's just say Dharc link summon and stealing Albaz from the grave and then *fusing* my opponent's Mirrorjade with *his* Albaz? Lots of fun.
The one card I'd absolutely add is Fu-Rin-Ka-Zan just for the looming threat of clearing your opponent's field
Elemental mistress Dorado.
Charmers are interesting. I still dont get how they're tied to the duel terminal lore but still cool. Also waiting to see what editor shenanigans are afoot in this video. Will they finally tell us if Doriado was able to land a date with Avramax or did her dark sister ruin her chances of it

Thank you Patrons!
I love Charmers a lot, but I would like to see some actual boss monsters for the archetype. Either the Charmers themselves or the Familiars getting to amp up. I know the deck has a power of friendship vibe, but it would be cool to have a plan B if your backrow gets torn apart. Your field stability relies heavily on Unpossesed and Awkening of the possessed, and without them, beating over anything above a level 4 monster is challenging.
Bests I could recommend is Elemental Mistress Doriado, but that would take quite a bit to make work honestly
@umbralumbreon7380 Doriado herself ought to be the official boss monster for Charmers. I'm not sure if this actual lore is real where she's said to be their mentor so I had hoped we would see her become a boss monster that plays well in taking advantage of different attributes
I believe a great boss monster would be a Fusion boss that takes 2+ monsters (one of them being a Charmer).
It would be cool if it was treated as having all the attributes used for the materials used, and also gained effects based on the amount of attributes that it has.
@akiraishin7141 I had that thought too like it can be treated as a Familiar-Possessed or Charmer monster, can gain different attributes based on the materials used and have multiple effects based on those attributes.
I also had thought a rank 4 Xyz could really benefit with the deck too as you potentially make alot of rank 4 plays with the familiars and could turbo into Utopic Draco Future who can also steal monsters.
Either that, or also you could make Link 1s for the level 5 familiars. That way they can be easily sent to the GY to search the Spell/Traps, while getting a monster that could have a useful effect like granting another normal summon, or quick effect disrupting the enemy.
Charmers are one of those themes that they have a habit of slow rolling support for. That's why the latest Hiita was just released recently(alongside a bunch of misellaneous Fire support), and the next Eria will probably be out on the following year(though the last big "wave" of Water theme support was just last year I believe).
I believe the next Charmer-related card would be in the next set after Age of Overlord. Although I can't be too sure this time because there was a huge gap of no Charmer card between Power of the Elements and Duelist Nexus
Yeah if they keep the trend of revamping Structure Decks, Eria Channeler will probably be released with an Atlantean Structure Deck R. Which would be fitting since Atlanteans trigger when discarded, too
@joaquinduverne6259 true, and maybe with the Dark Magician and Blue-Eyes structure decks we could see either Dharc or Lyna released
@@IamJerfwishing too much with those light and dark
@panblu it's wishful thinking since we do have them as links where people thought it wouldn't happen, but it did. They're getting left out since the structure deck only focused on the original 4, and we still don't have their familiars evolved forms either
As a pure Charmer duelist, might I say at 19:35 that while Ichirin may LOOK like it won't do much in the long run, do note that, in my experience on master duel, other duelists don't tend to read their opponents cards. I've had many situations where Ichirin consistently got rid of important combo-starters, because the opponent usually starts with them. Furthermore, even after they realize the effect negation that's on the board, they either try to brute force their way through or end up with lowered moral due to losing their first effect each turn.
6:13 my god. Did they just channel earth, wind, and fire. We’ve been omega trolled.
Really wish their field spell allowed them to quick effect change the attribute a monster on the field and quick effect flip a card on the field face-up or something
That's what I wanted it to do as well, or at least give us an extra normal summon on top of the effects you mention
This was an excellent summary and breakdown of the Charmer archetype. This deck is often overshadowed by the presence of the Link Charmers, so it was refreshing to see their true strengths highlighted. You've earned yourself a sub! :D
Wynn can also work with Armed dragon decks too. Noticed that Dharc is heavily favored in non charmer decks as well.
That open with the Avatar reference sent a wave of disappointed over me as I realized they don't have some sort boss fusion form(s) a al Captain planet.
HUGE missed opportunity. Like they could even have story line where they fight against Monarchs. So much untapped lore creating potential
I had that feeling too. They have so many cards but lack the story lore to know all about them yet they're connected to other stories in some way. They absolutely needed a boss monster that just ties them together.
Charmers vs Monarchs is also something I had thought about too.
The best way to play charmers is to hard focus on the 1500 def spellcaster line up and use Charmers as an engine with their earth stuff (Aussa, Nefariouser, etc) and Spell and trap line up. Decks like Magistus, Dogmatika and Branded have some really good 1500 def spellcasters like Zoroa, the Ecclesia's, Quem and Cartesia to name a few and they all pair really well in a big 1500 def spellcaster pile deck that can pump out some surprisingly strong end boards.
You can go as far of splashing in other archetypes like Gravekeeper's, Windwitches, Incas and Fairy tails to vary up you're lists. Ascator dawnwalker is a 1.5 card combo for ATOP nefariouser archfiend and a level 8 synchro which is really nice as well as cards like Gravekeeper's shaman is a soul drain in monster form you can send to the gy off of Magicians souls (Great if you hate Tearlamanet in MD).
Overall Charmer is an insanely versatile deck with a ton of potential builds such as a Charmer Volcanic FTK, a flip penguin version using Eda the sun magician and Penguin squire that can summon Tzolkin with a searched s/t for Crystal wing and the aforementioned Dogmatika Magistus Charmer pile (DMC) to name a few.
I use the Branded build on my Charmer deck + Zoroa/Artemis and it's done pretty well. I've seen the Volcanic FTK and it's very interesting
@@IamJerf You can actually use Lyna and Dharc with their Familiar possessed forms as a search engine with Branded. Namely with the Bystial to search out cards like Cartesia and Quem. Funnily enough in Dharcs case you can search Silent magician and summon her straight away and get a spell negate on your board. They work incredibly well with shadow's light and duality.
I've found the most powerful version is to focus them around lockdown cards like Skill Drain, Secret Village, Summon Limit, and so forth. A single lv4 charmer + village + skill drain or summon limit + Awakening. locks your opponent down hard.
@@shadowspider9 yeah basically without all the techs and engines, a Charmer deck with floodgates is always viable as all you'll do is beat them up with a 3000+ Atk Familiar-Possessed
@@shadowspider9 you can actually use ecole de zone with charmers and floodgates like rivalry and summon limit. The charmer backrow either makes you plus, set up the gy or you are stright up immune to the destruction effect of de zone ahilst your opponent is not.
Whats even funnier is that De zone spawns a spellcaster type token which when used with rivalry will prevent them from summoning anything none spellcaster thanks to the token you gave them. Charmers being spellcaster means you can summon as many as you want. Finally with summon limit, the summon lf the monster and token meets the full requirment of summon limit and will lock them out, charmers being immune thanks to awakening means you can summon even more afterwards whilst your opponent will be stuck just summoning low atk tokens.
"Familiar De Zone" is honestly a really funny stun/floodgate deck you can run.
Man, the editing in this video is on point.
Outstanding, keep it up. 👍
Just want to say that I love this series so so much, keep on keepin on Nova
My one and only fav archetype, I play this religiously
Me too!! 😊
Heck yeah, I’m glad you mentioned Elemental Grace Doriado! My favorite headcanon for the Charmers is that Doriado is their mentor.
3:46 You've forgotten at least one example of a monster that summons itself from the Main Deck, besides the Familiar Possessed and the Awakening of the Possessed monsters: *Dark Sage!* Of course, it can ONLY be summoned that way, unlike these cards.
And metal morph versions of monsters
Yea, I heard that line and was like "huh, Metalzoa ties in to Charmer lore?"
Having finished the video now, I think he actually was alluding to Dark Sage being the other card with a similar summoning condition that's tenuously connected by lore, since he pointed out a Dark Magician reference in one of the cards.
It's one of my favorite decks to use, it always feels fun to steal away a blue eyes. I really hope they can expand on this with more than Link Monster love your content
3:46 Theinen the Great Sphinx can summon himself from the main deck with his effect. Kids these days don't know history!
lets gooo
i hope charmers get their own boss monster some time
I need to mess around more with em, but the Awakening of the Possessed can easily be made in Magikey with some finagling, especially Nefariouser Archfiend since it gets you a monster back.
I love charmers effect
The first card pack I ever opened had charmers in them (I only bought precons before), and I fell in love with the archetype instantly. When my brother saw there was a structure deck with them, he bought me three ("three? Why would I need three?!"), and now this yugiboomer plays again. I main charmers and try to stick them wherever I can. Magistus also works really well with them since all the monsters are of different attributes, and the combo starter is 1500 DEF.
Konami. Charmers "cute girls doing cute things" anime/manga. It will print money.
The Charmers in a way are starting to remind me of the Atelier series where it's literally cute girls doing cute things and doing alchemy.
I love beatdown charmers. Just so much fun to play
I always play the Familiars and Link Charmers with Fortune Fairies, since having six attributes of Spellcasters that all have special summon conditions makes it very easy to swarm the field. Not to mention, Miracle Stone provides its ATK boost to ALL Spellcaster monsters, not just Fortune Fairies. And to top it all off, when you link summon a Link Charmer, Awakening lets you draw a card- and if you draw a Fortune Fairy, it summons immediately, and if you draw a Familiar, it can summon for free. Combine that with whatever you steal from your opponent's GY, and you have Link-4 material.
Incredible Ecclesia, the Virtuous, Witchcrafter Golem, The Iris Swordsoul, Hat tricker, and the adventure engine works with the charmers. Angraecum umbrella can be used to get Fortune lady every out. Card like mind control and change of heart helps in the deck as well.
They should print a divine type charmer
Thanks for the breakdown, much appreciated!
The adventurer package is great in charmer as well. You can get multiple attributes on the field + a negate.
Also, my favorite charmer is probably Hiita!
I recently got the Charmer structure deck, added the Link monsters and Eda and god damn, they kick ass!!
I want more Lyna Support, I'm bias I don't care, she is cute, I want Happy Lovers and alternate forms of Lyna, Fill out Dharc and Eria too, it's not like it would make any attribute significantly more powerful
Charmers will always be my favorite archetype because it's just fun to play around entirely.
I love this Archetype, probably my second favourite after Shaddolls, though Hiita is my favourite, I've played her and her Familiar quite a bit.
Ayo fenrir what you doing?! You've betrayed *the boyz!* do you have anything to say for yourself?
I mean, maybe they could continue the trend of connecting Charmers to every lore imaginable and just say that Fen is Aussa's uncle or something lol
I really love the whole Charmers archetype, cool to see just how many different forms they and their familiars have taken over the years! Also they're a really fun deck, I'd just like to see them get a big archetype boss monster plus familiar possessed forms for Happy Lover and Metabat, then I think they'll really be cooking! Oh as for my favorite charmer, gotta be Hiita I love me some "fiery" redheads!
Invoked charmers is fun
my favorite archetype, especially the charmer centric lore
“Oh hey Dogmatika, how’s it going?”
As a Branded player and follower of this man’s Albaz Lore videos, this killed me.
My favorite archetype; I'd been wanting to make a deck based around them since their first release.
you can also add the elemental spells/traps (spells or traps that lists earth, fire, wind and water).
Awwww yeah Duel Terminal tie in! I... presume that the Duel Terminal world is one of the dozen parallel worlds mentioned in GX? And I think the crew even ran into General Freed in season 2 and 3? But my memory isn't the best? So... lotsa connections! And a MULTIVERSE VIDEO YESSSSS
I love this archetype. These cards are too fair; they need more cards that let them recover resources or extend plays. They need a spell card that searches "a non-spellcaster monster that can be special summoned if a spellcaster is on the field" to add their familiars to hand. And a spell that lets them add or special summon themselves from the GY.
There is one godsend for this deck to fulfill the ability to search a Familiar, and that is Witch of the Black Forest. Summon her, link her off for Artemis, and you can search any of the pets. This is ideal because they can dodge the restriction of Witch of the Black Forest and be summoned to the field. Ideally, you search Nefariouser Archfiend to get the Awakening of the Possessed Archfiend from the deck and use it's reborn effect to bring her back. If you happen to have another Familiar in hand, you can do the same combo, minus the search from Witch. Link off the stronger familiars and you can search not 1, but 2 of the Possessed cards.
...either that or just search Maxx C and pass :')
Was going to comment a joke about avatar, but you beat me to it, nova.
Well thank god they added the spell and deck devastator called eclipse Which has more than one effect. The only drawback is that your pony gets to draw as many cars that were flipped on their side of the field and place them in their hunless. You're putting a spell or a trap of some kind of active or going to be activated? That 1 either prevents or does the opposite effect. You're kind of hot to go to Deal with the fact that you just give your opponent an advantage
Love these videos bro!!! Thx 4 the updated vid & xtra tips. Already made a charmer deck in master duel but now this vid will help me critique it better. THANKS NOVA!
I like jiggabyte Cause it goes right back to being named gigabyte with out the s at the end at level five which is nuts
Wynn best charmer!!
I don't know if you agree with this, but you can also squeeze an evil eye. Both the monsters and spells and trap. It's a theme type that would fit in with the dark type.
Charmer I'm still considering the light type what was fit in there? I'm thinking fairies maybe honor Not sure what other ones I would throw in there I could always throw in dark corner, but it's a dark type. Not a light type and therefore not a fiend
Hiita was my 1st yugioh card my name is based of of the set code 028 and the fox in the background of her art work I have her in a protected case on my desk
"The only other example [of summoning itself from the Main Deck] is in the Charmer continuity."
...Theinen the Great Sphinx, Dark Sage, Red-Eyes Black Metal Dragon, and Metalzoa are related to Charmers? Huh, who knew?
i'm the first!! i love charmers on master duel my charmer deck has traps that effect attributes and ones that makes monsters stay a different attribute than their original
Idk if you didn't know or didn't care but there are other "Summon self from deck" cards.
Black Metal Dragon and Metal Zoa, but considering both are incredibly bad I understand not seeing them worth mentioning, there's probably a few more but I know these
As a side note it would be cool to see "Metal Morph" support, it was an interesting idea in card design held back by the fact that the payoff was 99/100 times a vanilla that was worse than what you cashed in to get it, Maybe they could retrain the whole weird mechanic, like tributing an opponent's equiped monster to cash them in for appropriate monsters based on the type of card tributed, like a techno organic virus, and maybe make the cards 0 attack extenders so they aren't bricks, but copy original stats if they are summoned via the deck equip/tribute method.
13:34 I didn't know that was the dark familiar trap card
Konami, I swear to God, if you don’t print the Channelers in matching Starlight or Quarter Century rarities and leave the set as is, i will burn the building to the ground
They always give the Charmers in such unorganized rarities. Hiita's Link-2 strangely enough is the most odd one because she's the only one with a common rare, no Ultra Rare, and a Super that's made available only from the OTS pack.
Always loved the charmers even before they became an archetype
Just kinda sad unga bunga beat down not very good rank 4 maker is all they can do, and not mix well as a whole with anything. If only the familiar possessed were normal monsters then magikey charmers would be quite the sight
Fun Fact: Pot of Greed story is tide in with Charmers…look at Dark Spirit art-Greed
Fun fact: You can add in Eria and her support in Kragen sharks for some dank jank
Not only does Dark Spirit Art feature the Dark Magician circle but also a certain other object in the back-right corner that... I'm sure has some sort of effect but my mind just happens to be drawing a blank on, probably some obscure thing i've never had explained.
The fairy tail cards also can be slashed in since they have the same stats as the possessed
i have them i got them on valentimes day,i had them on order a few weeks ago and they arrived just in time for valentimes day,they were gift from myself to myself.
My main deck is a mix between charmers and element sabers and Doriado. Quite funny to play whit Awakening of the possessed and Elemental palace on the field. I always surprise my friends when I say that I attack his big boss monster whit a lvl4 whit over 3000 attack
You didn’t include the best tech, it’s a continuous trap called “Rainbowlution Lab” basically, target a monster, it’s now all attributes and a machine. All attributes, which means all the charmers work on it, oh and did I mention that the continuous spell doesn’t require different monsters to checks it’s attack gain effect?
Charmers are my personal favourite. I've always liked using cards from my opponent as resources, and they did exactly that. But until the Structure Deck, they were insanely brittle and difficult to use, to the point of feeling like a deliberate joke of an archetype. But now, they actually have combos and setups that can lead to massive payoffs. Unfortunately, juggling 4-6 attribute targeting lines is kinda hard, so most Charmer Decks are highly brick-vulnerable.
By the way, Charmers work exceptionally well with Kaijus. Through them, 90% of the setup is under you control, instead of having to hope for the right girl against the right color. You just off the enemy boss monster as Kaiju fodder, then flip your Charmer to immediately take the Kaiju for yourself - even better if you had two in hand, which would then both be on your own field. Then you Link them into the same Link Charmer to prevent your charmer from getting shot and you losing the Kaiju, instead reviving it from GY for permanent access.
Another variant that works really well Is Charmer-Invoked, since Aleister is searchable, and his fusion monsters cover all attributes, plus Invoked Elysium functioning as an omni-attribute boss monsters to instantly max the boosts from backrow supports, including Dark Doriado in the Pendulum Zone.
I've always been a fan of Charmers as a kid
Hita's my favorite cause fire monsters are always fun
I just want a lore book already
I sure hope that Konami release the advanced forms of Happy Lover, Meda Bat, and Lynn’s, and Dharc’s posessed Familar forms one and the rest of the level 5 forms of the other charmers.
Like seriously. But I also hope that they get others forms of support as well.
Im surprised i haven't seen cataclysmic charmer barrier statue stun before.
Guess I was a bit Charmed tland didn't realize how good that deck actually is even though I have it. Don't worry I'll get Familiar with them soon enough
Currently in a crazy Master Duel challenge
Awakening of the Possessed to draw Exodia
(Guest starring Dark Doriado)
XD
I was already thinking of making a deck with them n master duel…. Now I’m really going to lol
Idk if you didn't know or didn't care but there are other "Summon self from deck" cards.
Black Metal Dragon and Metal Zoa, but considering both are incredibly bad I understand not seeing them worth mentioning, there's probably a few more but I know these
What about Archnemeses Protos?
Much like Elemental Grace Doriado it requires multiple attributes in the graveyard it is easy to summon and can destroy all monsters of a certain attribute.
Dear golden ova I got a charmed at myself not a true set of 3 mind you, but I noticed that there were 2 creatures. One is a light based spell castle who's a charmer? The other ones that dark based spell caster. Who's a termer that aren't included? And my thing is and I don't know if you're willing to do a secondary retake on this. I don't know the names of the monsters that are non spell casters that are related to it.
What about the Elements monsters, like Element Doom or Element Valkyrie?
People say that they're weak. But when I use them, they are strong
we need a charmer lore anime now DO IT KONAMI
You Uh, mind showing the cards you’re talking about in the tech Picks section?
I like to use this series with Aleister The Invoker.
Also, Dharc is my favourite because I'm an edgy nerd, but also find it adorable how awkward he must be surrounded solely by cute girls
I’m still salty that Charmers got all the love and support when Pikeru and Curran came out around the same era and are just as interesting
Dark Doriado for fun
Something I find odd is that despite the fact the charmers being connected to both the duel terminal lore and marauding captain lore thanks to Wynn and jigabyte I don't think the charmers themselves have any lore.
Yeah that's the biggest missed opportunity for them. They're connected to so many other lores but they themselves don't have their own story, not even the card arts give us a clear answer except for "cute girls doing cute things". Konami should make a manga series for them, if they could make Sky Strikers then no doubt Charmers deserve it more.
Yes FINALLY!!!
My boi Dharc, came in clutch a few times, shame about the arm
Dharc: Please dont talk to me....
Took you long enough to create a video on one of Konami's favorite waifu archtype
They're all children, like Raye. How dare you
Aussa beatdown won me a game against U.A once
y'all he forgot Red-Eyes Metal Dragon
Where are thr Darc cards Konami?
WHERE ARE THEY?!
Oh this is nostalgia😊, I had my own collection of charmer cards. Still do. And out of the group I've always been more attentive to use Hina and a bunch of fire monsters.
Ha, I was right!!!
I don't think that the Gagagigo with Erina is actually meant to be the same character as the one from the Marauding Captain story line. They're only ever shown together on Charmers/Familiar-Possessed cards, while none of the Gagagigo/Maruading Captain stuff directly and clearly references Erina.
No, he definitely is the same character. Master Guide 1 establishes that as canon beyond the cards.
@@emonychan I just read the Gagagigo section, there is no direct reference to Eria there. It mentions Gagagigo having feelings for "a girl," but it doesn't give anything more than that. The Charmers section of Master Guide 2 does have this, "By her side is "Gigobyte", who has just begun his journey into manhood." Which does admittedly allude to his story outlined in Master Guide 1, but it doesn't still directly state him to be the same character.
To be fair, Marauding Captain, Inpachi, and Gagagigo's sections make no direct mention of each other either despite being pretty integral to each other's lore. However, I think that is more a reason to not treat these as definitive sources for the lore.
@@magicianofd8434 It's literally all we have though, and it makes far more sense for a character with a unique name and look like Gigobyte to be the same monster than it does for it to be different. One should not have to be hand-held through the lore to connect the dots, after all. Further, we have to assume that if a card shares aesthetics and name, it IS the same character or at least a descendant/cousin/relation because that's kind of just how YuGiOh works. There's literally no reason to believe there are two Gigobytes.
@@magicianofd8434 Also worth noting: You can link Charmers to Marauding Captain using Petit Dragon two ways:
1. Mokey Mokey appears with Petit Dragon on the "Normal" cards and will eventually be seen with Goblin of Greed on Dark Factory, as well as with the Traptrix ogres on several Trap Hole cards.
2. The foot of Manticore of Darkness is on Return to the Normal. Manticore is then seen with D.D. Warrior Lady on Return from the Different Dimension, who is seen fighting Dai on several cards, who in turn is seen in The A. Forces with several figures from the Marauding Captain storyline.
@@emonychan Considering the cards themselves give us more information than those entries, it's not all we have. In fact, it seems like it'd more useful to reference the actual cards over the Master Guide articles in just about every scenario. Moreover, you said that Master Guide 1 made clear they were the same character when it actually doesn't, that's not asking to be handheld. Until there is a clear and direct reference to them being the same character, I am free to believe otherwise.
Also, the majority of Yugioh archetypes don't have any actual story associated with them, thus we can assume (especially earlier on) this isn't a high priority of the game. So, it makes more sense to just assume that Gigobyte was used simply because it was a weak water monster, that aesthetically looked good with Eria without regard to any associated lore. Because again, if Eria is meant to be cannon to that story line, why does she not appear or be clearly referenced in any non-Charmers/Familiar-Possessed cards?
The weird how hitta have gotten channeler status 3rd instead of second or last.
