Gonna say it here. Ever since Master Duel, the fact the duelists with these decks spam the same 4 cards in triplet form is entertainingly irritating. But the lore of every archetype is always fun.
It’s a very interesting deck for sure. But it’s easy to beat. No longer a meta deck. Beaten nearly all of the Eldlich players I’ve faced and I only used RDA deck 🤷♂️

Lich's return from the dead as long as their phylactery remains intact. Usually depicted as a vase of sorts. The Eldlich monster uses his trap cards as pseudo phylacteries, where as long as he has a trap card available, he cannot ever really die. Lich's are also known as powerful wizards of sorts and are able to utilize and make use of corpses for themselves. They will often reanimate a corpse and possess it. Eldlich does this as well where he has undead zombies that come from his power (trap cards).
Honestly, this is one of those archetypes that is just awesome for the references and lore alone The actual mechanic of Eldlich reviving himself as long as he has a Phylactery/Trap Card is just the icying on the cake

I thought he had the purple cape because he was a “Lord”. Purple use to be a very rare color, the only people of royalty would be only ones to have it .

Funnily enough, the lich is one of the most legendary monsters in D&D, and is used as the final villain for many campaigns. However, it is lacking it what it can do, with very few hitpoints for having a challenge rating of 21, at only 135 hp. It's spell list is also lacking, and a party of level 20 players, which the a challenge rating 21 opponent is supposed to present a challenge for, will often times mow it down easily, because of the sheer power a level 20 party can hold. Which is why many people will make modifications to it for the lich to present a greater challenge, and the Eldlich archetype as a whole feels like a really cool homebrewed version of a lich.
This is probably also why a lot of fantasy series make a clear distinction of "ordinary" Liches and Elder Liches Implying a Lich grows in power over time
I don't think Japanese, including Yu-Gi-Oh deves, are aware of D&D anymore outside of few old ones, let alone this deep into it. It's so dead and WotC stopped Japanese version .
@@mslabo102s2 I don't think they're completely in the dark about it either even if interest over there is minimal.

It's late to comment this, but I didn't see anyone else talking about it and I think this is a really interesting theory that's worth mentioning. When you think of the Philosopher's Stone you typically think of some sort of crystal, gem, or rock. But the Eldlich's Philosopher's Stone is strange because it's a spiral. It looks like a shell, more specifically a Nautilus shell. We even see in the card art of Eldlixir of Scarlet Sanguine that the stone has chambers the same as a Nautilus shell. Now something commonly associated with the Nautilus shell is the irrational number Phi (1.618033988...) which goes by many different titles such as the Fibonacci Sequence, Golden Ratio, or in this case Golden Spiral. A logarithmic spiral with the growth factor of Phi or the Golden Ratio. This Golden Spiral's shape is considered perfectly proportioned for infinity and is often compared to a Nautilus shells. This has led people to find the Golden Ratio in all sorts of weird places in nature giving people the impression that the Golden Ratio is some hidden building block to the universe. So all that to say it's really cool that the Philosopher's Stone, an all powerful alchemical creation capable of bending the laws nature and equivalent exchange to it's whim like transmuting lead into gold, takes the form of a spiral representing the Golden Spiral and Golden Ratio, a number that acts as a building block to the universe and nature. I haven't seen Yu-Gi-Oh! lore go this hard since Vendread.
I was todays years old when it occured to me that our lord and saviour, the legendary lord helix himself, is featured in the Eldlich archetype as the philisopher's stone.
I love the use of Gilgamesh on this video, Fate would be a great franchise for you to expand into. I'd definitely enjoy your breakdowns of characters and legends in that universe.

Playing Master Duel for the last couple weeks has made me want to buy a copy of “Eldlich the Golden Lord”, entirely so I can go full Episode 1 Kaiba on it. It wouldn’t actually stop anyone from using it against me, but it would feel *damn* good.
@TheRealOJ32 Oh yeah, don't get me wrong: there are plenty of other degenerate decks out there. I've run into the horrors that are Numeron and Blue-Eyes before, and can attest to how infuriating there are; I haven't personally encountered True Draco (and haven't had _that_ much trouble with Utopias), but I can also add Tri-Brigade as possibly the single most obnoxious deck I've ever played against. It's just that I tend to encounter Eldlich players a LOT more than I encounter the other annoying decks.
@TheRealOJ32 Sky strikers take skill unlike traptrix, virtual world, blue eyez, thunder dragons, zombies, and fucking herald, please tell me you're kidding when you barely know the horror that is a herald of ultimate with zeus, or a turn one MAX dragon.
Little mistake: The Eldlixir cards don't all summon from the same places. Scarlet Sanguine, the trap card, summons from the deck or graveyard (most of the time the best effect countered by being a slow trap card). Black Awakening, the normal spell card, summons from the deck or hand and it also summons in face-up defence position only. White Destiny, the quick spell card, summons from the hand or graveyard (often a bad effect at the start of the game but being a quick spell card makes it pretty versatile later in the game).
This is mostly correct, but it's important I think to note that it's implied Eldlich the Mad Golden Lord isn't him eventually being consumed by the philosopher's stone, but rather Eldlich when he fully unrestrains the powers of the philosopher's stone and allows it to run wild. If you compare Eldlich after being summoned by his effect with Eldlich the Mad, they're actually extremely similar: both have stats of 3,500 and 3,800 (Eldlich has more defense while the Mad has more attack) and immunity to destruction effects. The biggest difference lies in that Eldlich can keep reviving himself whenever he's sent to the graveyard whereas Eldlich can't be destroyed by battle: Eldlich has total immortality and normally can just revive himself if he's killed but when the stone's powers are completely released the energy sends it into overdrive and speeds the process up so much that he effectively just can't die. I'd imagine eventually (whether he just calms down or gets taken out) the stone's power returns back into itself and Eldlich returns to normal no worse for the wear. It's also important to note that Eldlich (when he was human) wasn't the first one to go to El Dorado in search of the stone, as plenty of groups of adventurers tried before him and all fell victim to it. He was just the only one who was crazy enough to go in alone. Considering how absolutely MAD you would have to be to hear rumors of a city of gold that steals the minds and bodies of all who see it and speedrun your way to the middle to grab the limitlessly powerful artifact of doom with your bare damned hands I think Eldlich probably wasn't ever sane to begin with.
You're surprisingly accurate with the current master duel solo mode, eldlich was a pirate mercenary and he was hired to protect the researchers who wants to study the golden land which unfortunately all of them turned into zombies, except him who is somehow strong enough to not get killed by the rampaging zombie and immune to the radiating stone, he was freaking insane man.

Thanks for doing these. Read about the right away after getting Plat 1 with them and was wondering what it’d be like if they got a TGSAnime archetype video. Wish granted :)
@@nxtz8712 if I said I used any other deck from Drytrons to DD Dynamite, I’m sure the reaction’d be the same. I’ve gotten to Plat 1 Tier 1 with most decks given my special tech. If you need a decklist, it’s on public. Good luck, you’re gonna need it ;j (Also 2 months late dude)
Eldlich, the epic tale of greed, of a man so fueled by lust for more that he even began to claim the Master Duel Ranked Ladder for his own. Blessed be our golden lord
This was my specialty since last year. In November of 2021, I won my first Local Tournament using an Eldlich Invoked Dogmatika Dragoon deck. I won a game mat and field center as a result of my winning.
Ooo interesting choice for lore exploration. Nice! Kind of expected the people malding over Eldlich but considering the game is just "Make sure your opponent can't play" unlike the anime, they probably play stuff so they can just beat up their opponent with no resistance too. Which is why I just play Eldlich to just save steps for the same result anyway since MD is for when I'm bored.
The best video i've never seen Edit: So i've seen it. The lore is really cool but i still hate this archetype cuz it's very annoying in master duel. Anyways Good work on the video!
I played an eldlich player yesterday. I used prohibition on golden lord and I won instantly lol. It's just a trap heavy deck that uses golden lord to beat down the opponent. Cheap and corny. I recommend everyone to main deck prohibition in master duel.
My favorite card from this archetype is " El Dorado Adelantado" the artwork looks badass and the name sounds cool af and I guess the card effect is cool too
These videos really make me want an anime series that focuses on the lore of these archetypes. The possibilities are just about endless especially with how many archtypes share "worlds" with each other.
I just finished assembling my Eldich deck and I used it 3 times this past weekend.. I destroyed 2 Red Eyes Dragoon decks along with destroying 1 Dragoon with Eldich the Golden Lord and the other with Eldich the Mad Golden Lord. I lost to a blue eyes deck ONLY because I didn’t use Huaquero correctly. This deck is literally worth gold in real life. I never thought that I would have more spell and trap cards in my deck than monsters. Deck rating: 10/10
Here's not something official but what comes to mind between Conquistador and Huaquero cards. A Conquistador was also associated with some sort of violent "conquista" and I can see it's effect related to make violence on "someone" (the monster destroyed). A huaquero is a more modern concept, where they act as graverobber, usually destroying "things/sites" and thus doing violence on the dead (banishing from GY). It is a little odd they look more like pirates in the picture, and even carry a sable and not more "digging" tools. Thanks for the vid, was fun!

@@LeglessLion people forgot about true draco, that deck is more braindead and even more powerful then Eldlich
@TheRealOJ32 Oh yeah, don't get me wrong: there are plenty of other degenerate decks out there. I've run into the horrors that are Numeron and Blue-Eyes before, and can attest to how infuriating there are; I haven't personally encountered True Draco (and haven't had _that_ much trouble with Utopias), but I can also add Tri-Brigade as possibly the single most obnoxious deck I've ever played against. It's just that I tend to encounter Eldlich players a LOT more than I encounter the other annoying decks.
@TheRealOJ32 Sky strikers take skill unlike traptrix, virtual world, blue eyez, thunder dragons, zombies, and fucking herald, please tell me you're kidding when you barely know the horror that is a herald of ultimate with zeus, or a turn one MAX dragon.
God damn it the lore makes me want to play this archetype but I dont want to be a eldlich player
Little mistake: The Eldlixir cards don't all summon from the same places.
Scarlet Sanguine, the trap card, summons from the deck or graveyard (most of the time the best effect countered by being a slow trap card).
Black Awakening, the normal spell card, summons from the deck or hand and it also summons in face-up defence position only.
White Destiny, the quick spell card, summons from the hand or graveyard (often a bad effect at the start of the game but being a quick spell card makes it pretty versatile later in the game).
This is mostly correct, but it's important I think to note that it's implied Eldlich the Mad Golden Lord isn't him eventually being consumed by the philosopher's stone, but rather Eldlich when he fully unrestrains the powers of the philosopher's stone and allows it to run wild. If you compare Eldlich after being summoned by his effect with Eldlich the Mad, they're actually extremely similar: both have stats of 3,500 and 3,800 (Eldlich has more defense while the Mad has more attack) and immunity to destruction effects. The biggest difference lies in that Eldlich can keep reviving himself whenever he's sent to the graveyard whereas Eldlich can't be destroyed by battle: Eldlich has total immortality and normally can just revive himself if he's killed but when the stone's powers are completely released the energy sends it into overdrive and speeds the process up so much that he effectively just can't die. I'd imagine eventually (whether he just calms down or gets taken out) the stone's power returns back into itself and Eldlich returns to normal no worse for the wear.
It's also important to note that Eldlich (when he was human) wasn't the first one to go to El Dorado in search of the stone, as plenty of groups of adventurers tried before him and all fell victim to it. He was just the only one who was crazy enough to go in alone. Considering how absolutely MAD you would have to be to hear rumors of a city of gold that steals the minds and bodies of all who see it and speedrun your way to the middle to grab the limitlessly powerful artifact of doom with your bare damned hands I think Eldlich probably wasn't ever sane to begin with.
You're surprisingly accurate with the current master duel solo mode, eldlich was a pirate mercenary and he was hired to protect the researchers who wants to study the golden land which unfortunately all of them turned into zombies, except him who is somehow strong enough to not get killed by the rampaging zombie and immune to the radiating stone, he was freaking insane man.
I’ve heard him be called “Richie Lich” before, and that’s my favorite name for him.
I love all of your videos. You got me back into yugioh! Not sure if that’s a good thing because I’ve spent so much on it in the past few months lol
Ah yes, the archetype which has forced me to run max copies of twin twisters and cosmic cyclone.
Absolutely cannot get over the bored yet seductive look of the alternate Eldlich card
I believe Orcust deserves a TGS video since it keeps getting shafted on the banlist
Hopefully we see Harp back soon.
To get to the Orcust archetype he would have to explain the whole World Legacy series/storyline
Really like you’re archetype explanation hopefully you can cover virtual world in the future love your vids by the way
Eldich Gameplay: set traps cards and then activate effect, special summon Eldich, get destroyed, pays his fines and comes back "I'm back bitch with more ego boosted"
Eldich Lore:
The most smooth brain playstyle in the game
I love the golden boy, this deck is really cool to me
Combo deck breaker.
Imperial order is played
Your meme is negated
Thanks for doing these. Read about the right away after getting Plat 1 with them and was wondering what it’d be like if they got a TGSAnime archetype video. Wish granted :)
Plat 1 with EDLICH you should be ashamed
@@nxtz8712 if I said I used any other deck from Drytrons to DD Dynamite, I’m sure the reaction’d be the same.
I’ve gotten to Plat 1 Tier 1 with most decks given my special tech. If you need a decklist, it’s on public. Good luck, you’re gonna need it ;j
(Also 2 months late dude)
I’d like to see etheric or syllable (gagaga, ganbara, zubaba, gogogo and dododo) archetype
ONOMAT
XD
Eldlich, the epic tale of greed, of a man so fueled by lust for more that he even began to claim the Master Duel Ranked Ladder for his own. Blessed be our golden lord
You should try out the Rikka archtyype combined with the Aroma Archetype they flow together very well.
This is how you get Number 87 Cure Moonlight as your boss monster.
*Jaiden who already obtained the philosopher's stone*
This was my specialty since last year. In November of 2021, I won my first Local Tournament using an Eldlich Invoked Dogmatika Dragoon deck. I won a game mat and field center as a result of my winning.
I like the new format for the intro and summary of the topic archetype.
I had always wondered if this archetype had a story. Well done!
I think a video about the Rikka archetype would be awesome.
Bro Duel monster stories are so cool
i hope at some point he makes a updated version of the dark magician archetype
Ooo interesting choice for lore exploration. Nice! Kind of expected the people malding over Eldlich but considering the game is just "Make sure your opponent can't play" unlike the anime, they probably play stuff so they can just beat up their opponent with no resistance too. Which is why I just play Eldlich to just save steps for the same result anyway since MD is for when I'm bored.
Eldich, the archetype feared by most duelist, but Eldich has a unexpected fear: *PENGUINS*
I can see how Penguin Soldier & Nightmare Penguin can be nuiceances, but...the rest of them? I'm pressing x to doubt
@@roninwarriorsfan read nopenguin
I have yet to know how this intelectual presenting the video achieves to optain such tremendous amount of lore on the cards.
Well done.
The best video i've never seen
Edit: So i've seen it. The lore is really cool but i still hate this archetype cuz it's very annoying in master duel. Anyways Good work on the video!
Great video as always
I played an eldlich player yesterday. I used prohibition on golden lord and I won instantly lol. It's just a trap heavy deck that uses golden lord to beat down the opponent. Cheap and corny. I recommend everyone to main deck prohibition in master duel.
Gotta say, probably my favorite archetype, i love everything in it, bring control, the lore and the aesthethic
My favorite card from this archetype is " El Dorado Adelantado" the artwork looks badass and the name sounds cool af and I guess the card effect is cool too
Frankly, this deck archetype, with all its fun lore, is still a pain in the backside to kill. I have yet to find an easy archetype to counter it.
Bystial killed it and made it no longer meta. Still good though
@@DreadMaestro and how does this archetype work and how easy is it to pick up?
Can't wait for Melodious archetype.
Im not sure if its the card artwork or how the lore combines elements of fma with the legend Eldorado but i am loving this deck!
Eldlich aka:
The archetype that will not allow you to have fun in master duel
I love these videos so much, I keep hoping to see a Gravekeeper’s episode.
Stomped on this deck in MD with traptrixes. Oh it was sooo damn good negating that damn lich effect from the graveyard
The archetype with the most majestic swag. period.
Literally searched for Eldlich lore today and then this video goes up, nice!
Awesome content, now I will be trying to get into this deck with bigger interest.
Fantastic job regardless! I'd love to see a video surrounding both the Salaman and Borrel archetypes. They are both so cool!
Watching this to find weaknesses for my ranked matches
I really like this new style how ur telling the archetype. Good job
These videos really make me want an anime series that focuses on the lore of these archetypes. The possibilities are just about endless especially with how many archtypes share "worlds" with each other.
between Eldlich being so popular and my personal grudge against Traptrix, I think Jinzo needs to make a spicy return
You could always make a Jinzo deck to counter them
I just finished assembling my Eldich deck and I used it 3 times this past weekend.. I destroyed 2 Red Eyes Dragoon decks along with destroying 1 Dragoon with Eldich the Golden Lord and the other with Eldich the Mad Golden Lord. I lost to a blue eyes deck ONLY because I didn’t use Huaquero correctly. This deck is literally worth gold in real life. I never thought that I would have more spell and trap cards in my deck than monsters. Deck rating: 10/10
Here's not something official but what comes to mind between Conquistador and Huaquero cards. A Conquistador was also associated with some sort of violent "conquista" and I can see it's effect related to make violence on "someone" (the monster destroyed). A huaquero is a more modern concept, where they act as graverobber, usually destroying "things/sites" and thus doing violence on the dead (banishing from GY). It is a little odd they look more like pirates in the picture, and even carry a sable and not more "digging" tools. Thanks for the vid, was fun!
Was kinda hoping for the numbers, but this was cool too
Been kicking eldlich butt with my red eyes deck on master duel. 6 and 0 vs eldlich now .
Aleister and Eldlich:BUDDYYY
This Is Where My Character Oldrina Comes In #TGSAnime She Has A Special Crown That Protects Herself While Being Inside Her City But When She's Out She Pass Through People She Loves And Yes She's Married To Eldlich
Oh wow! The only thing i'm scared of and have nightmares about!
