That's the difference of making a story mode based on an archetype with a pre-designed story in the card arts/names, and making one out of cards designed to look cool.
It’s amazing how this Solo mode not only brings the full story of Vendreads to life but also tricks people into thinking Vendreads are actually playable.
22:11 Batman: Who are you? Revendread Slayer: I am you, but zombie apocalypse Goblin slayer: I am you, but medieval fantasy Ninija slayer: I am you, but cyberpunk Doom slayer: I am you, but Sci-Fi
after that feature match im beginning to think farfa is more devoted to dante than trif to electrumite because i actually cant recall the last time trif brought pends to a ycs lol
I am still so salty that most of vendread monster effect only applied when used on the field. Imagine if their effect applied when used as ritual for vendread monster period, this deck would be more usable.
To you this is free content but to me these are the only way I can experience the solo modes. I’m visually impaired and struggle to read cards (luckily this seems to be a normal thing) and just skip the cool lore. This means nothing to most but I was waiting for this video, since this is a hood lore to an otherwise irrelevant deck. Thank you!
I really love this story, so fucking cool and actually emotional too. It made me want to build a Vendread deck even! ...then I played the loaner duels and decided it was sadly not a good idea lmao
When "Vendread Daybreak" came to the tcg, I teared up knowing it was the end of his saga. That card art made me feel something when I pulled it in a pack. Really great story, on par with The World Legacy.
Fun fact: Vendread Battlelord's original OCG name translates to Vendead Bastard. Damn those Japanese people give zero fucks about censordhip and I really like that! You are free to look it up yourself!
vendread got support awhile back that actually helps with their lack of search power, allowing for more consistency in the deck, they still die to any form of interruption though
I know the timeline probably doesn't work, but what if he was the inspiration for the HERO's? Like Avian and Burtsinitrix and all them? They were survivors and were inspired to become hero's like him?
I didn't know about this archetype and Ritual monsters aren't really my thing, but it was surprisingly fun. Nice deck, don't think it will ever be meta relevant but if it gets some support I'll consider crafting it.
as a vendread player, hitting halq is pain because now you cant consistently get out balerdroch also the meta matchup in tcg and master duel is super bad because super poly kills their board instantly when the support comes out in MD, theyll be playable and fun in matchups that dont consist of super poly matchups
Hold on, if the vendread are the corpses of people and they have no memory of their past life... that means Revendread slayer is basically slaying innocent people that had lives just like his who don't have any control over themselves. Damn, that makes it so much more tragic.
Revendread Slayer (the ritual monster) is the only ritual spell searcher in this deck now. OCG gave a better spell/trap searcher for this arctype a few months ago. So, it is still a very long time until those cards come to Master Duel. You can link-2 to Avendread Savior to add any Vendread cards from GY, including the spells. . In duel between Executor and Battlelord, I think you get Chaos Ruler there. Milling some cards first is better to get more material for Ritual summon or "indirectly" search for ritual monsters. In standard duel I use Vendread Synchro too, and it will be better if you have Grass and play 60-cards.
Only ritual searcher In master duel, scar vendread is out in tcg as well. Also I think the first 3 scenario games don’t even give you avendread savior because lore deck follows lore rules
Great video. I feel like the only way to generate advantage is to tribut a slayer on field to make another slayer. It feels like a benten search benten interaction just worse
It just has to go to the GY, so if you link or synchro summon with it you generate advantage...you can ritual summon from the GY and there's a card that allows you to summon from the banish pile too that you can easily mill to the GY
Vendread is one of my favorite archtypes and i was waiting for a solo mode to drop since the game came out now all i can do is wait for the albaz lore since it contains a lot of other lore like tribrigade dogmatika springans despia swordsoul and many more
I mean we live in a world where Drytron/Hearld exists, the era when Ritual monsters could be treated as an irrelevant summoning mechanic (like say Gemini or Spirit monsters) is long past. Vendread is a TCG World Premiere archetype, and like several other TCG Premiere archetypes, its good but not great. (See for more recent examples: Beetroper's, Libromancer's and Ghoti's) There were new cards released in Power of the Elements for the archetype its just in a world where Splight and Tear exists, Vendread can't be anything but Rogue at best.
Avendread Savior is a Link monster, and the only Link monster of the archetype Avendread Savior is Revendread Slayer revived by the people's will, hence the effect that changes its name as "Revendread Slayer"
@@renaldyhaen Only one tho but a really good card and common for zombie world decks. I once managed to beat an Eldlich deck under skill drain with Avendread because his effect of sending to graveyard is a cost.
I actually play this deck and it is not at full power due to it missing cards in this solo mode. It would be more playable in Master Duel if they included cards the cards like Scar Vendread, Ravenous Vendread, and Vendread Scavenger. Ah ghoul is also a great generic zombie tech for the deck. Vendread Slayer is one of the deck's best cards. I love the aestethic combination of Resident Evil and Spawn.
easily one of the better solo modes out there, the music fit really well too also...if the vendread main deck monsters didnt have the "this card on the field" clause...they would've been so much better, maybe not meta, but a legit rouge deck, konami really pulled their punches with this archetype, maybe the quick play banishes were too much for their liking and...what's with the constant title changes?, i think this is the 2nd time this video's title changed
Honestly the deck doesn’t struggle. I got to diamond 1 with my zombie ritual deck. You just don’t know how to zombie link climb and extend. Granted pure vendred is ok. But your supposed to combine the zombie archetypes into a 60 card zombie ritual and it actually runs through branded despia and swords soul. 43 win streak in diamond 1.
Kinda bullshit that Slayer got to stay after the whole shtick about him having to disappear as well because he too is a Vendread, but hey there's gotta be a flaw somewhere in the story right
its a generic revenge story, but I would watch the hell an animated movie of this Archetype. Imagine a post credit scene saying: Avendread Saviour will come back with HEROES. Then next movie will be about the E-Hero Archetype. 😁
Konami recently released a searcher for spell/traps for the archetype making it better (not meta or even rogue but better) and for reasons I don’t get those cards aren’t in master duel.
As a vendread player, it’s cool and fun but this meta matchup is terrible First of halq Is banned so turbo balerdroch is wayyyy harder, and super poly is literally an instant scoop for you cause the whole deck is dark
One of the stories I loved in Solo Mode! Much like the World Chalice/World Legacy archetype! Too bad Vendreads is hardly a playable deck. Sucks it's a Ritual archetype
I actually really liked this story. It was much better than "These are beetles and they do war"
That's the difference of making a story mode based on an archetype with a pre-designed story in the card arts/names, and making one out of cards designed to look cool.
God I’d really love for them to give us the duel terminal and albaz storylines to play.

Only Savior is used. Milling Zombies just by battling is actually pretty good.
Well, one guy with Vendread almost beat me once, and I was using Swordsoul
Tbf vendreads were decent in duel links back then but compared to md meta its too slow and easily negated
They are though?
Easily one of my favourite solo modes. I really liked it!
My Favorite too...because it's also my Favorite Ritual Deck.

Assvendread savior
This deck deserves to be playable. Come on Konami
And playable as its own deck. Not as "1 single meta staple that gets banned so its own deck can't even use it"
Fun fact: if you send a vendread ritual monster to the grave you can still ritual summon it properly
Drytron ritual summon from GY too.
And nekroz
Salamangreats ritual can as well. Plus eagle is funny in the link event if you properly summon eagle
heck almost any ritual deck then
@@realjooj1296 Don't give rituals too much credit. Not MOST rituals do that...

Much better lore than other stuff we have seen.
My favorite part of the Vendread lore is when Slayer said “it’s vendreading time” and vendreaded over the other vendreads.
Being fair, not too far off the mark.
that it that the whole story
and revendreaded all over the vendreads*
I think he said it's Revendreading time. Very important difference.
Fun fact: Vendread Battlelord's original OCG name translates to Vendead Bastard. Damn those Japanese people give zero fucks about censordhip and I really like that! You are free to look it up yourself!
Well there's also one of albaz's forms called bastard in ocg
They really should have fleshed out all of the stories like this one. And they REALLY need to finish the "World Legacy" arc and work on the Abyss arc!
I liked this archetype as I love zombie monsters, but dam this video has just shot them to the top for me, such a great lore video.
His tale is like the protagonist of Parasyte having to kill the monster that stole his mother's face.
The writing for these stories is amazing
Ahem. Beetroopers are calling for a refund, should I put them on hold?
"amazing" is an INSANE overstatement. Nice? sure. Cool? yeah. Amazing? nah.
@@trippersigs2248 I mean this one was, but thats about it
@@trippersigs2248 The amazing one have to be given to World Legacy by virtue of having an actual long-running story arc in Master Duel.

@@renaldyhaen for realll. thats why scar vendread is such an important card for the archetype
This story is pretty good ngl
This was such a good solo mode gate. I didn't think I'd invest myself in it - but I did. Glad to see others agree.
The music tracks also did a lot too.
It's funny that the human version of revendread slayer is a total chad, look at that chin.
zombies get some of the best stories. I loved the Shiranui story too.
take a shot every time Farfa says vendread in the first 5 minute.
Great video. I feel like the only way to generate advantage is to tribut a slayer on field to make another slayer. It feels like a benten search benten interaction just worse

Vendreads take place in the same city the elemental HEROs are in, btw
That was awesome 👏 thank you for sharing. Love this lore of Vendread.
Really hoping to see more support after pote. They seemed to have started a new story thread with scar, hopefully we get support to expand upon it.
easily the best one so far (waiting for the full duel terminal lore story mode :))
Vendread is one of my favorite archtypes and i was waiting for a solo mode to drop since the game came out now all i can do is wait for the albaz lore since it contains a lot of other lore like tribrigade dogmatika springans despia swordsoul and many more
Epic story tbh, I teared up. Hope Konami does more of this.
Story time with Farfa is always so much fun
Literally just the punisher zombie edition
Pre-prep is activatable thanks the effect on origns that protects a slayer from being destroyed for anyone wondering
Implying that they could beat a Machina deck Konami?
i love this story man probably the best yet in MD
Such a cool looking archtype. Wish it was a link archtype instead of ritual
I mean we live in a world where Drytron/Hearld exists, the era when Ritual monsters could be treated as an irrelevant summoning mechanic (like say Gemini or Spirit monsters) is long past.

@@renaldyhaen Only one tho but a really good card and common for zombie world decks. I once managed to beat an Eldlich deck under skill drain with Avendread because his effect of sending to graveyard is a cost.
The Lore contains so many sacrificial theme so ritual is more fit. (Sacrifice=tribute)
This ,I swear, is a more beautiful love story than Twilight, and much fcking better than Morbius as a zombie-surviving storyline
Okay but now I wanna know if Slayer could destroy a tank
I really want them do add a field spell with this song in the background.
I actually play this deck and it is not at full power due to it missing cards in this solo mode.

More of this content please also love ya farfa glad your getting back to things your content has become a really fun part of my day and missed it ❤️
Ps this has made me make a deck for this gigachad hero
If only konami would give the archetype support to make it as good as its lore so it could truly be a happy ending.
*"The Slayer has entered the facility."*
Is it just me or does Farfa's voice slightly shake at the end? 😢😢😢
easily one of the better solo modes out there, the music fit really well too
also...if the vendread main deck monsters didnt have the "this card on the field" clause...they would've been so much better, maybe not meta, but a legit rouge deck, konami really pulled their punches with this archetype, maybe the quick play banishes were too much for their liking
