I expect if this or really next years Maze set is based on Odion's trap monsters, I can see a future Maze set focusing on Masked Beast support, like new Mask cards that can help search or Ritual summon a new better Masked Beast monster.
Definitely feels like an archetype they would throw into the Maze sets that come out at the beginning of the year, especially since Gate Guardian got the same treatment, and Lumis and Umbra are the Battle City versions of the Paradox Brothers.
The Masked Beast was my boss monster when I was playing on the playground with my friends. I'd love to see a retrain of these cards even if it's not too good.

I actually used Masked Beast Ritual Monster when I was leveling up Umbra & Lumis in Duel Links. It was fun when I actually got it out thanks to the Skill that gives you a free Mask of Restrict upon summon. Though I didn't use the other Masked cards, that was when I was trying to get Des Guardius' game mat. Instead, I combined it with Masked Heroes.
@@eavyeavy2864 of the flawed decks, Jaden Yuki's original deck(without the Neo Spacemen) was a flawed deck, and Sky Strikers in its first version was also a flawed deck.
I think having retrained versions of the normal monsters that have effects that make it so their names are technically the same as the normal monsters when they’re on the field, but also have really good effects would be good and I think more spells and traps that are generally mask related would be fun
I feel like new support would require an archetype name of sorts like "Des Mask" or "Fiendish Mask" so if potential search cards are made, they don't have to resort to putting "Except Masked Dragon, Masked Sorcerer," etc. in the card texts. I can see Melchid and Tiki Elder getting effect retrains like the Memento archetype. I could see a possible Des Guardias fusion card that requires Melchid and/or Elder and getting an effect that relates to or interacts with Remnants. Maybe new Mask equip cards can be: Equipping to a "Masked" Fiend-type monster has a positive effect but a negative effect on monsters that don't fit the criteria. Maybe some can have the effect that they can't be responded to during activation. Just a couple of thoughts.
I'd love to see some new expanded support for the Reactor archtype, as I'm a sucker for machine archtypes that combine. For example more consistency to accessing Sky Fire, like a Reactor fusion monster that floats into Sky Fire, or something similar to the support Cyberdarks got to assist with making plays into the original trio of monsters, or retrains that can replace themselves with the originals similar to Magnet Warriors.
The masked beast was my first actual deck on duel links and where I really got into the game, i'd kill to see it get the same glowup other decks I love did (Shinobird, Gimmick Puppet, Ice barrier and more). To note a few things though, first Des Gardius only takes opponent's monsters, not give yours. Second is not noting both the obvious issue of Mask of Restrict preventing the bosses coming back out and that in the anime that effect was also circumvented via Masked Doll. Third is not noting a few other good synergies, firstly is Tour Guide and Doomdog Octhoros, Tourguide for the Dog is nice, link them off for whatever and search for Des Gardius and in duel links you can use the skill to place a normal to tribute alongside the link for a des gardius, there's also Dark Necrofear, you should have at least 2 fiends in Grave by bringing out Des Gardius so summoning him shouldn't be too bad. Also a neat fact Des Gardius says "Must First" meaning bringing him back, sending him, stealing and then doing that to pick apart a board also is pretty fun, though a big issue is recycling the masks once they hit the field. Also as my take on the deck for support i'd love to see it focus on Light and Dark Mask monsters with the Lights focusing on S/Ts and then Darks focusing on Monsters, similar to both Lumis and Umbra, Des Gardius needing a Light and Dark as tributes and The masked beast needing both the monster (Umbra) and a spell (Lumis) to bring out though I know character theming for Lumis and Umbra of all characters is probably a stretch.
It's sad that these, along with many anime archetypes, still remain unprinted/unsupported, while Konami continues to repeatedly churn out more of the same meta, one-card combo bullshit.
Gate guardian, Flame Swordsman, Voiceless Voice, Metalmorph, Shining Sarc, Millennium, Blue Eyes, Ishizu cards 😂. They do print plenty of legacy support or retrains in fairness to Konami.
I would love if Konami updated the Masked Beast Ritual with the ability to equip (quick effect) Mask Equip cards directly from the deck or gy. I play some of the Mask cards in Mikakos, and Oohime's quick effect is handy!
More mask spell or trap that can equiped to a monster that do either negate effect, reduce attack or whatever and a new ritual The Mask beast where the ritual spell can use opponents monsters equipped with your mask spell or trap (level will be equal to rank or link rating if it is an xyz or link). The new mask beast can equip mask spell and trap to cards from the graveyard to suitable targets on the field and gain immunity while there are cards equiped with mask card on field
This gave me an idea for revamping the archetype: Mask of dispel - Negates the effect of a card equipped to, 500 burn damage at standby phase Masked beast of dispel - special summon from deck by tributing 2 monsters, one equipped with mask of dispel, double burn damage of mask cards Curse of the masked beast - Tribute a masked beast monster, add one masked beast monster or mask to your hand What are people’s thoughts. Would probably have extra effects like protection and niche buffs but these would be generic effects of archetype
I enjoyed these in Duel Links, 'Advanced Ritual Arts' made it somewhat reasonable to run both Masked Beast bosses plus the normal monsters. My favorite moment with the deck was winning a 50 turn duel since 'Mask of Remnants' makes it impossible to deck out.
I wish the late great Kazuki Takahashi was still around to do something more with these because they are his creations, and Konami can only do so much without him both creatively and potentially legally and I think there’s a lot of untapped opportunities like making a story about the world the monsters live in like dual terminal, but more cohesive and for a wider audience
I could see a Masked Beast nostalgia deck coming out at some point. Making more nasty mask cards along with a monster that can search them would be cool.
shoutout to Menjaburo in yugioh go rush anime who use a noodle parody of these cards they are unprinted anime cards i would not be shocked they finnally print them due to this video in the future.
I think they should add the mask archetype to the new expanding Gate guardian archetype, they were both used in the rare tag duels in the anime and have a (somewhat) similar aesthetic plus the idea of seeing a new monster that’s just gate guardian wearing 3 masks would be kinda hilarious
If the Duel Monsters nostalgia has taught me anything. Konami (most likely the TCG side) will eventually give this deck modern support, to truly cash in on the nostalgia. Wonder what type of suppport they would do, especially to make reference to the Lumis & Umbra duel vs Kaiba and Yugi 11:38 if Mask gets support, it is gonna be a stall / stun deck, isn't it?
These were all beautifully designed cards, and hey, they HAVE to get retrains and/or support, because if Gate Guardian and Flame Swordsman can, so can these.
There’s another anime only mask card being Mask of Impregnability which either stops one attack or protects you from attacks for a turn I can’t tell from the description I found on the wiki
Back in the day, I picked up a Tactical Evolution Box, can't for the life of me remember why, but I did pull Des Gardius... which I STILL can't play to this day! Still looks cool, though! Also, aren't Grand Tiki Elder and Melchid the Four Faced Beast the Fusion Materials for Skull Knight? I know Tiki is, I can't quite remember if Melchid is the other or not...
idk if you often read your comments, or if youll even see this, but maybe a good video idea would be going over the strengths and weaknesses of the ABC/VW/XYZ lines? something like that, idk. its one you dont see often, but was used by a few prominent characters in the anime
As a GOAT player, these cards would'nt have done anything in GOAT format. Every single card in Goat has to do something good, so playing 2 vanillas that have to be summoned, stay on the field for at least a turn just to bring out their "boss" FROM THE HAND is totally unviable (especially since the floating effect doesn't work against Chaos and DD Lady, 2 of the most common removal cards in the format). Compared to how easily Chaos Sorcerer or BLS or Zombies can be brought out and that it doesn't do anything against Burn strategies, these cards could be added to GOAT with literally 0 impact
@brianaguilar8283 That's true, I misread the card a little. Still, neither of the Tributes do anything and can be run over by basically everything else. If you don't have the luck needed to draw the tribute AND the beast at the same time, the cards are basically useless. You could increase the odds by playing multiple copies, but then you have multiple vanillas/bricks, so you know... Maybe it could be ok in a Skill Drain strategy, where a big beatstick actually matters? But even then, it'd be one of the weaker rogue decks
@@lucasmiller8286 Agree. The two normal vanillas are too weak for GOAT Format. The overall requirement to get Mask Beast Des out is too slow. You got to get either Elder or 4 Face out, protect it and another monster out. This is like..3 or 4 turn. Even if they change the wording on Mask Beast Des saying that it can be special summon from deck or hand as long as you tribute one of the following monster(4 face or Elder) and another monster....Like what you said BLS, DD Warrior lady or Chaos Sorcerer can banish it or Mask Beast can be popped by some other card effect. If your opponent destroy your Mask Beast, send it to the GY, you can equip Mask of Remnants spell card FROM THE DECK to one monster on the field and change the control. 99% of the time you want to take control of one of your opponent's monster. Why do all of that process and have these cards in your deck? When you can just use Snatch Steal, Creature Swap or other cards? Lol
@@SCH292 Yeah, I think people often underestimate the power level in Goats. Like yeah, you often don't get more than 1 monster out per turn, but the monster you do bring has to be pretty strong
I think masks would be a lot more interesting if they were an archetype that broke field rules. Like, putting a mask on a target lwt you actually.put that mthaton that card, freeing up your zone to put more cards then normal. I tbink with how weak they seem to be, thats a cool way to offer even more of a swarm like effect, but may possibly be game breaking
They should just make a magic shadow box archetype with all retrains of the mask cards. I’ll never forget the dub of the 4 way duel and how lumis never shut up with saying magic shadow box and shadow realm 😊
Top 10 Worst classic cards 7: Ancient Sanctuary, or Top 10 Worst Warrior type monsters. Or Worst monsters that cannot be normal summoned or set For the non top 10 list: The Unknown side of Yu-Gi-Oh: Beasts of the Colliseum featuring Gladiator Beasts
06:08 That doesn´t work unfortunately. Newer Versions of "Masked Beast Des Guardius" specify, that you must epuip an opponents Monster with Mask of Remnans. You cant equip your own Monsters with it to give it to your opponent.
Since I'm a very proud masochist, not only do I have to admit I love Masked Beast Des Gardius, but I also love to see a new episode of the "Failed Cards" series.
He obviously misspoke and swapped the 2 and the 3 while reading. the very next thought is that the masked beast has over 3000 attack, so why would he say that if he thought it was only 2300. You are consuming their content for free, let people make mistakes
@@yatagarasu5775all he’s gotta do is combine videos for the super videos, and read a script. Does he edit the vids? If not than I could do what he does, just with a worse voice.
0:57 It really irks me when the duellogs makes these kind of mistakes. Like geez. Would it kill you to 1. Either read the stat line properly or 2. Double check your source?
wow right off the bat not even fixing the fact you said 2300 not 3200 i hate how these failed videos only look at the meta and no where else if people like the cards and use them for fun then can you really card them failed cards

can't wait for Konami to suddenly come out with a Mask Beast support after this
That is where irony comes in.
I expect if this or really next years Maze set is based on Odion's trap monsters, I can see a future Maze set focusing on Masked Beast support, like new Mask cards that can help search or Ritual summon a new better Masked Beast monster.
It worked for Flame Swordsman.
Not before Rata also makes a video about Masked Beasts
I have made custom cards for that but cause I used the old cards too, people complained.
I loved these as a kid, and thematically would love a retrain of them
They don't need a retrain, they need more members period.
I'm kinda shocked we haven't had retrains already
Definitely feels like an archetype they would throw into the Maze sets that come out at the beginning of the year, especially since Gate Guardian got the same treatment, and Lumis and Umbra are the Battle City versions of the Paradox Brothers.
The Masked Beast was my boss monster when I was playing on the playground with my friends. I'd love to see a retrain of these cards even if it's not too good.
Don't let Rata review those cards or he'll meme support into existence!!!
In before "Masked Beast" support being brought into existence. Thanks again ahead of time, if it comes to pass.
my childhood deck (which I still have) has a fake Masked Beast Des Guardius which removes it's effects and conditions

The idea of a mask/puppet based deck would actually be cool.
Always liked the art for Masked Beast, would love a retrain of these fellas

gate guardian literally just got retrained

I think we found our 2026 Maze set WP theme :V
I would love if Konami updated the Masked Beast Ritual with the ability to equip (quick effect) Mask Equip cards directly from the deck or gy.

He has 3200 ATK

He's not wrong though.@@yatagarasu5775
I had no idea there was even more than 1 monster for Masked Beast until now
Masked tribute with subterror went hard. I went kog 2 times back to back with it
I think they should add the mask archetype to the new expanding Gate guardian archetype, they were both used in the rare tag duels in the anime and have a (somewhat) similar aesthetic plus the idea of seeing a new monster that’s just gate guardian wearing 3 masks would be kinda hilarious
Been waiting for this
Get ready for the Masked Beast retrains in a few weeks, everyone!
If the Duel Monsters nostalgia has taught me anything. Konami (most likely the TCG side) will eventually give this deck modern support, to truly cash in on the nostalgia.
Wonder what type of suppport they would do, especially to make reference to the Lumis & Umbra duel vs Kaiba and Yugi
11:38 if Mask gets support, it is gonna be a stall / stun deck, isn't it?
In MD they used the OCG list for Goat... Next time I will play those masks :)
What about Mask of Shine and Dark from Forbidden Memories? Ritual and similar to Luminous and Umbra. Good material for retrain/support.
We also miss "Psycho Puppet". Not sure if it was in Forbidden Memorys. But its still an old Video Game exclusive Card from the early Gameboy Games.
These were all beautifully designed cards, and hey, they HAVE to get retrains and/or support, because if Gate Guardian and Flame Swordsman can, so can these.
There’s another anime only mask card being Mask of Impregnability which either stops one attack or protects you from attacks for a turn I can’t tell from the description I found on the wiki
This is the last video, that i would expect.
It would be kind of neat if masked cards got an archetype and some retrains
I see the mask get help in the yearly maze set or duel terminal .
No mention for rescue rabbit and unexpected dai to easily summon the masked beast...
Back in the day, I picked up a Tactical Evolution Box, can't for the life of me remember why, but I did pull Des Gardius... which I STILL can't play to this day! Still looks cool, though! Also, aren't Grand Tiki Elder and Melchid the Four Faced Beast the Fusion Materials for Skull Knight? I know Tiki is, I can't quite remember if Melchid is the other or not...
Looks like its prime for a retrain in the next 10 years
When are you gonna touch the Roid cards, cuz that’s an Archetype worth reviewing for this series
idk if you often read your comments, or if youll even see this, but maybe a good video idea would be going over the strengths and weaknesses of the ABC/VW/XYZ lines? something like that, idk. its one you dont see often, but was used by a few prominent characters in the anime
Can you do a video on Roid archetype?
Specifically the Roid archetype Cyrus Truesdale used in Yu-Gi-Oh GX.
As a GOAT player, these cards would'nt have done anything in GOAT format. Every single card in Goat has to do something good, so playing 2 vanillas that have to be summoned, stay on the field for at least a turn just to bring out their "boss" FROM THE HAND is totally unviable (especially since the floating effect doesn't work against Chaos and DD Lady, 2 of the most common removal cards in the format). Compared to how easily Chaos Sorcerer or BLS or Zombies can be brought out and that it doesn't do anything against Burn strategies, these cards could be added to GOAT with literally 0 impact
You don’t need both out at the same time, just one or the other
@brianaguilar8283 That's true, I misread the card a little. Still, neither of the Tributes do anything and can be run over by basically everything else. If you don't have the luck needed to draw the tribute AND the beast at the same time, the cards are basically useless. You could increase the odds by playing multiple copies, but then you have multiple vanillas/bricks, so you know... Maybe it could be ok in a Skill Drain strategy, where a big beatstick actually matters? But even then, it'd be one of the weaker rogue decks
@@lucasmiller8286 Agree. The two normal vanillas are too weak for GOAT Format. The overall requirement to get Mask Beast Des out is too slow. You got to get either Elder or 4 Face out, protect it and another monster out. This is like..3 or 4 turn.
Even if they change the wording on Mask Beast Des saying that it can be special summon from deck or hand as long as you tribute one of the following monster(4 face or Elder) and another monster....Like what you said BLS, DD Warrior lady or Chaos Sorcerer can banish it or Mask Beast can be popped by some other card effect.
If your opponent destroy your Mask Beast, send it to the GY, you can equip Mask of Remnants spell card FROM THE DECK to one monster on the field and change the control. 99% of the time you want to take control of one of your opponent's monster. Why do all of that process and have these cards in your deck? When you can just use Snatch Steal, Creature Swap or other cards?
Lol
@@SCH292 Yeah, I think people often underestimate the power level in Goats. Like yeah, you often don't get more than 1 monster out per turn, but the monster you do bring has to be pretty strong
@@lucasmiller8286 Cards like The Mask Beast are best for PLAYGROUND because nobody play by the rules on Playground. Lol
what are your favorite OG classic no effect monsters that you would like to see coming back in play with a new archetype of their own ? 😍
I just use my opponent's monster(s) to summon Des Gardius. And to Trigger its effect, I play Pot of Destruction.
I remember losing some duel in duek links online to this archetype
Duel logs made an Why it Failed video? Expect new supports in the next week or two
Do skull servents. I dare you
Would be pretty cool for them to get love and retrains like konami did with gate guardian.
I swear they forgot to add a negation effect to Mask of Dispel. It's literally called DISPEL
i just watch short video about masked beast few days ago, and duel logs make it full of it.
i wonder when you actually make darklord failed card
I think masks would be a lot more interesting if they were an archetype that broke field rules. Like, putting a mask on a target lwt you actually.put that mthaton that card, freeing up your zone to put more cards then normal.
I tbink with how weak they seem to be, thats a cool way to offer even more of a swarm like effect, but may possibly be game breaking
mask beast stun in the future one day, mark my words
You have literally have no idea how bad I want masked beast or zera the mant ritual support
Thats what the point of the mask is
0:07 meh I've looked into making a Mask Deck for something interesting but I wasn't interested in it by the end [got really really board]
They should just make a magic shadow box archetype with all retrains of the mask cards. I’ll never forget the dub of the 4 way duel and how lumis never shut up with saying magic shadow box and shadow realm 😊
Maybe you could do the OG Noble Knights next?
What if there were a mask equip card that let a monster attack the opponent directly but the controller takes the same damage. Thatd make doll useful.
Not even Primite cards will save this archetype in the TCG.

Would you do an Episode on Cubic?
06:08 That doesn´t work unfortunately. Newer Versions of "Masked Beast Des Guardius" specify, that you must epuip an opponents Monster with Mask of Remnans. You cant equip your own Monsters with it to give it to your opponent.
Mr Duel Logs. You read its statline wrong. Its not 2300 atk, its 3200. still a bad card but ya know
The Rare Hunter Failed Deck
Since I'm a very proud masochist, not only do I have to admit I love Masked Beast Des Gardius, but I also love to see a new episode of the "Failed Cards" series.
I need a retrain of this archetype
First 5 minute group here
tldr: the only good mask card is mask of restrict, because floodgate
They work.
welp at least the artworks are neat!
Um...
Mask of brutality 😂
Konami! Retrain this archtype and my wallet is yours!
Last
Why do archetypes with really cool aesthetics have to be the most shittiest thing on the planet?
Did you know that Rush Duels made retrains of these cards based on Ramen dishes?
I actually beat someone with this deck
The stats are 3200 attk and 1800 def. Tell the editor do better with your script
I said the same thing. And he can see the card for himself to see that the script is wrong as the video is being edited
He obviously misspoke and swapped the 2 and the 3 while reading. the very next thought is that the masked beast has over 3000 attack, so why would he say that if he thought it was only 2300.
You are consuming their content for free, let people make mistakes
Dude he makes multiple hour long videos a week give the guy some leeway
Look at this guy so smart 🤓🤓🤓
@@yatagarasu5775all he’s gotta do is combine videos for the super videos, and read a script. Does he edit the vids? If not than I could do what he does, just with a worse voice.
Don't worry, Konami might change from Fiend to Illusion type.
Let’s not forget that these cards were used in the story by the masked tag duelists Lumis and umbra
With how obnoxious they made voiceless voice i just pray these never get any support it will be miserable
Man... Our generation really is getting pushed out huh... :)
0:57 It really irks me when the duellogs makes these kind of mistakes. Like geez. Would it kill you to 1. Either read the stat line properly or 2. Double check your source?
Why don't you make these videos?
Sorry DuelLogs I can't like the video, under any circumstances. Ever.
Why?
@ the original wording of Mask of Restrict said "neither play can tribute under any circumstances" or something which had a couple memes.
First
wow right off the bat not even fixing the fact you said 2300 not 3200 i hate how these failed videos only look at the meta and no where else if people like the cards and use them for fun then can you really card them failed cards
