@@just_mikey I think reptiles in general could use an archtype that isn't self destructive to help generate more support oriented cards. King of the feral imps feels like the biggest player for keeping reptiles in the game, in terms of support anyway, but unless they change the field to allow a card for A counters to stay on face down monsters, as well as spread to monsters sacrificed for special summons, its going to be a tough fight as we move forward into more and more link summons... Not to mention that whatever gimmick they come up with next in a few years is also going to punish hostile-counter decks even more than it has already. Venom decks are already beaten into the ground due to how hard it is to get a Venom to stick on the field, but I'd like to see A-counters and Venom counters get some proper support as well. I think for aliens specifically, getting them some 'alien invader' themed cards for pendulum summoning might help(different UFOS perhaps?) in order to coinside with the Ruin spell card for more recycling, Or get some more protections against monster effects since Alien Mars really isn't cut out for his job without additional support, as much as I love Mars shutting down so many effect summon decks with Alien kid, or the trap that generates an auto-counter. Albeit Mars then needs a shield or three, since 1k isn't much of a beatstick. What's your experience with the hijacker type alien set up, where you maximize hijacking enemy cards with things like A brainwashing, Mother Alien, and their OG boss monster before the syncro/link came out? I've been finding very mixed success with it. Either it gets countered, or you suddenly own whatever your opponent had prepared to otk you with, since most folks like to attack with their strongest monster first for some reason which as a result stops an OTK from occuring past the first destruction. Biggest thing that stops it from working is if someone knows how the deck works, but then again... Who expects alien hijack decks or even know what most of those alien themed traps do outside of reptile players?
I personally use the a counters to control the board i dont generally take the monsters with it at all its all about effect negates and lowering attack points and taking care of the back row to me
They also need to stop making boss monsters that aren’t considered Aliens! They could’ve included that in the EFF . It’s hard to get it destroyed n not being able to ancient ruins them after using so much resources to bring them out in the first place . The Reptilianne link is pretty solid support though . But it’s main targets are the little snake girl n danger Tsuchinoko . N you gotta watch out if you used a pot that same turn . They need help n support but the two new cards made it fun agaij
@@williamyoung64 hmmm i wanted to use her. But her other effect didn't really sit well with me. Then i hear people talking about Naturia with aliens....but that doesn't work neither
Since it's unlikely you'll use her for a synchro summon I've never really thought about it, and the taking damage part rarely matters in this game unless it's massive
@@williamyoung64 i say she's easier used with link and xyz. Hands down. But it can be used with the new reptile synchro. I'll have to get all these cards and really reconstruct my deck....mainly with the spells, hand traps, base traps and the extra deck. Aliens really are Super good now
Been playing Aliens for years. There was this moment watching you play I said to myself "Now why did you do that? I'da done: Blah blah blah.?". Turns out you did it becuase you are a better player than me. Huh. Don't think I like that, but thanks for the summoning order trick - I'll use my Overlord a bit better now.
@@just_mikey So what if it wasn't absolutely optimised? It's aliens. It's why I've been playing aliens this whole time. It's a pretty forgiving archetype and can get bonkers. Anyhoo, you keep doing youtube stuff and we'll keep watching :D
@@just_mikey Dude , you're such a liar. I've played Aliens for years now and the kind of hand you draw there is very slow and would get pummeled once the opponent lays the foundation for blocking every move you make.
@@anthonypersaud3695 yeah it was a slow hand it happens when you run pure aliens my guy and im not a liar i got to plat 5 each season and then stopped its not the beat deck out there its just fun to play. I been playing aliens since before they had a synchro.
@@anthonypersaud3695 check out my newest vid i started with a similar hand and was playing against shaddolls and you know they flip them selves back facedown and wipe the counters away lol
as one alien user to another, I salute thee for your good work. May the Aliens rise once again.
Some new support would be awesome like a new field spell or some hand traps

Busted... good job bro. I play alien and always did since telepath and Grey. I run this in MD but the way you piloted it.... 👏🏿 👏🏿 👏🏿
Fellow alien user here, check out the reptile spell cards, also the reptillian synchro and SR tuner are good additional support
What is the SR tuner monster?
reptilianne lamia, free special summon as long as you both have a monster

I play Aliens but this deck is slow and is trash.

@@just_mikey yeah me too. I love the alien and volcanic archetype. I started collecting Alien cards from 15 years ago.
