Fucky amendment time, as per usual. This is not particularly relevant to the current state of the game but it's very funny: As Magnus first summons itself and THEN picks up the materials, that means you need to have a fourth zone free on the field to summon it, which made it nearly unsummonable with field-only materials during MR4 - even with Blaster Magna. Again, not a massive deal but it would've made for an entertaining piece of trivia in the video which means I'll be forever mad knowing I forgot to include it. Swag
One of the greatest mistakes Arc-V anime did was not giving us an "Ancient Gear Chaos Giant" vs "Super Quantum Mech King Great Magnus" moment in the Heartland saga.
I mean... they aren't nostalgia bait from a previous season, so they couldn't appear on the Heartland "saga" (like, seriously they were in heartland for all of like 6 episodes or something).
Hell I wish they could've given us a two on one duel with Reiji and Yuya creating Odd-Eyes Armageddon Dragon which was big enough for a battle against Chaos Ancient Gear Giant.
Love how Archetype Archive is slowly turning into "Rata geeks around about Tokusatsu culture for 20min each 6 months" Personally, I couldn't ask for better content
I've been getting a lot of use out of Magnaslayer in Master Duel specifically because of the proliferation of Crooked Cook Stall. a lot of good that Invincible Monster does when I do 4600 Piercing damage (or 2800+1800+1800 if he flips it into Attack position in a panic)
One of the reasons the main Super Quantum heroes don't have as 'unified' as design as you might expect is because they're actually less based off Sentai, and more specifically the Chouseishin Series of tokusatsu shows from the mid-2000s - which Konami manufactured the toys for! Claws were common weapons in the series, as they used huge robot animals as a consistent theme, which explains their presence on Red.
Ooh so that's why Dinomorphia Therizia also has claws (tho more justified this time)! Thought they were also inspired by Dino-based sentai (also thanks to Rata for pointing out how Dinomorphia Frenzy coincidentally looks like Dino Thunder scene)
Honestly this archetype should get accolades for making a card like Great Magnus that is somehow regarded almost universally by the community as "The raddest fucking thing I've ever seen."

As if I can’t appreciate a positive archetype archive as much as I can relish in the 15 minute rip and tearing of whole archetypes or Royal Knight of the ice barrier.
@@Zetact_ Both are Kamen Rider, Kamen Rider has had Bug themed heroes in its roster since Day 1, to the point that "bugs squash evil" is a part of modern Japanese pop culture, such as the Bug-type defeating the Dark-type in the almighty mega-franchise Pokémon.
Rata has done Ultraman(Neos), Kamen Rider(Inzector), and finally Super Sentai(Super Quants) meaning that he has finally collected the powers of the big 3 toku franchises.
10:36 to be fair that is also thematically accurate for Sentai and Power Rangers with the individual zords being tough and capable on their own but most often just form straight into the megazord so giving Magnus comically overpowered effects based on having 6 materials which is what it’ll have if you overlay 3 mech beasts summoned via the field spell (hey look at that) it’s about the most sentai thing you can think of
the fact the "ultrazord" feels so meh is like a personal reference to me of how cool the initial megazords in lightspeed rescue were, and how their final megazord, the omega megazord, had such a cool name but its design left A LOT to be desired, and even their attacks looked meh. especially considering how it looked better in their individual zords and as the omegacrawler it looked so meh i am convinced lifeforce megazord (which is just a recolored lightspeed solarzord) was made to bring back the cool facotr
The reason is just that it's a lot easier to film a fight scene involving one guy in a rubber suit than it is to have a bunch of non-humanoid robots running around. Like, this is why they had fight scenes involving the Dragonzord and the T-Rex in the original Mighty Morphin'--you can get a guy in a suit to play those, but you can't do that with a mastodon or a saber-toothed-tiger (at least, you can't do it and have it look any good).
White Layer actually IS Alphan. You can tell by both of them having chest/chin fur and the black shuriken behind Alphan turning into White Layer's hair and tail. Alphancall Appeal's art is of them finally transforming after a desperate situation like with SPD's Shadow Ranger.
...And suddenly White Layer letting you get a copy of Alphan in hand while also being unable to discard Alphan for his own special summon makes so much sense.
Oh cool, a new Archetype Archive, I love these videos. I wish this guy uploaded more. Oh shapesnatch it's always fun to see him again-- YO IS THAT A FUCKING ENA PLUSHIE, THAT'S SICK
I know it wasn’t intentionally, but it’s pretty appropriate that this overview of an Xyz archetype dropped on the same day as the big Xyz Master Duel event
10:55 “The only morally correct way to use Dragoon is as a drink coaster.” Welp, now I know what to do with my first Dragoon if I ever pull one. Seriously, I was already disinterested in the card, but then a few weeks ago, I was about to finally beat the ‘unbeatable judge’ at my locals when he drew the fusion on his last turn and OTKd me right there! Frankly, it can’t be banned soon enough.
Play UAs. There is no greater joy than my brother summoning dragoon me going "ah, I have no outs to it I guess I should just scoop....unless" and then a 6500 attack basketball player dunking a hole through the unbeatable dragoon
OH YES BABY! I remember playing Super Quants a bit during the late Xyz era (or whenever the fuck they came out) and absolutely loving them, so I'm glad Rata is treating them with the respect they deserve. I hope he does the same with Gladiator Beasts!
Your flashier editing really fits this archetype, making this video as fun to watch as it is to listen to. Even after 5 years of this, you're still improving on the tried and true. I love it.
I could definitely see it getting at least two more main deck monsters, two more Mech Beast cards, witch each one being either Earth or Dark attribute, and perhaps add one or two more boss monsters. One that is based on a auxiliary megazord, and one that is an actual Ultrazord.
wouldn't it be more like "ultra ultrazord"? Like how we got some in boukenger/operation overdrive and RPM/Go-onger the link monster feels like the modern ultrazords that are called as suchbut at best is the main red ranger zord that sadly is like 75% of the body, combined with the newest one and maybe the sixth ranger's zord Yeah, they could use the auxiliary megazord. although i think those would have an effect that lets them equip to a superquant xyz monster tou control once per turn. and maybe lets it special summon itself (like their union monster that its not a union)
I remember playing Janky zombie structure deck back in 2018, I ran Lusterex in the ED and the only way I could summon it was by overlaying Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon and Red-Eyes Zombie Necro Dragon, it was absolutely not worth it but I am ashamed to admit that I did it more than a few times (somehow) just because my lack of XYZ monsters made summoning it really cool to me
Okay, I know more support would be cool, but could you imagine if they did the same thing with Super Quantums as they do with Six Samurai? Where each new support wave brings new Monsters with a new Aesthetic, to represent the changing teams
Rata! I had just decided to make Trains in master duel and now you have sold me on Super Quants and now I dont know what to do! Your enthusiasm for these archetypes is very infectious. Love your videos, I rewatch regularly and I'm always happy to see new stuff.
Been waiting for this one for a long time. I'm definitely an old school "set one monster and pass" kind of player, but Super Quants are the one deck I have a real soft spot for.
Now if only we can get a Black, Yellow, and/or Pink Layer with their own beasts and mech king(maybe as some sort rivals or evil turn friend like the thunder beetle rangers or the teams fight but ultimately team up against evil) and a better mech king combination since blaster magnus is just a band-aid come on mystic rata powers
Now we just need an archetype based on the enemies of Sentai/Power Rangers. Their minions would be low level that provide the usual functions (search, recovery etc.), and the high level Main Deck monsters would be the actual villains. However when a villain would be destroyed, instead it floats into its 'mega' form which is represented by an XYZ monster, with the villain as material. And yes, it is required by law to for the archetpye to include a card that is named "MAKE MY MONSTER GROW"
I haven’t played yu gi oh in years and I don’t keep up with it, but I will admit, listening to you talk about some of these archetypes and learning about the backstories and themes actually makes me want to play. Keep up the good work sir
Wow, this video was just a pleasant experience, the archetype is decent, it's got a fun theme, rata actually likes it. These last few featured archetypes have been pretty good, so I think it's time for some blood. Some real gore, a true horror show. I vote Dinowrestlers, every effect of theirs I've ever read is so bad it feels like it came out 3 animes ago.
Oh wow, I've never actually heard of this archetype before, so this is the first time I've seen any of these monsters. These things all look rad as hell! All of the designs for the not-Rangers feel super on point, and even the not-Zords they pilot also hold the aesthetic they are going for really well too.
I love when Rata does archetypes he likes. The tone is different but notable and it makes for a very fun video where the jokes are fueled by his passion rather than just "angy boy card bad!!"
The evolution of Rata's hair throughout the years has been mesmerizing. From a generic guy from Montenegro, he now looks like he's gonna be friends with a talking Great Dane and go around the world with a trap lover, a generic attractive white lady, and a thicc nerd solving mysteries and hunting down men in really convincing monster costumes. Btw Dragonmaid Archetype Archive when
Not gonna lie, I expected the Googly Eyes Drum Dragon to explode the moment Ojama Lime jumped in. But destruction was still had so I guess I was a little correct.
I'm shocked Orbital 7 (Yes those monsters were played by him in the anime) didn't show up at the end and in response to the carnage say "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!"
@@goodpeople25 To be fair at the end of Zexal that bot is married to Lillybot and they SOMEHOW had KIDS! So maybe they retired from dueling to focus on work and family.
Firstly, a bit late, but happy 5 years of probably my favorite Yu-Gi-Oh! Comprehension series to ever exist on RUclips. Secondly, I cannot get over how much I love the way you transitioned into Great Magnus. Timestamp: 9:32
I Love Super Quant monsters! The fact they reference Liveman(my favorite) more than any other Super Sentai serires in their aesthetics, makes me love it even more!. Edit: Some References: -The team/zords are clearly Liveman and LiveRobo (twin dolphin legs+Lion chest, the eagle is missing though) -Magnacarrier is the zord carrier from Liveman, oldschool non-teleport manual transport of zords. -White Layer is more in tune with Kibaranger like Rata said, but I see a lot more of AbareKiller (Dino Thunder White) on it. -Alphan Spike is another retro sentai thing....like 1st ever sentai retro we are talkign about, it's the Goranger Hurricane!!! They just pass the ball from team mate to team mate and then spike the ball to blast the opponent LOL -Magnaslayer is just Sunrise mech pose
Yo, this drops right after I finally grind back to Plat in season 2 on Master Duel with these guys. I was bored of having to try hard with Dragonmaid, and I believed in the power of Super Quant. People always get Blaster Magna wrong, though. It's not a bandaid for Link. In Link Era, you coulnd't even Summon Great Magnus using this Link, because you needed a 4th spot. This card is meant to cover the losses of the Field Spell's discard cost, meaning you'll plus off it from the theme's GY effects. In post-Link Era, this card makes making Great Magnus ez as cake in situations where you wouldn't normally have enough resources.
I only realized the 4 zones MR4 ruling when I got reminded of it after uploading the video. Omitting this genuinely crazy fact is going to haunt me for fucking life. Thanks for pointing it out.
Was just in the process of watching old Archetype Archives, so... yeah, I’m good with this! And it’s for a deck I know all of one card from! Having finished the video, weird but definitely pleasant to hear energy in Rata’s voice again as he talks about something he definitely likes. Shame that making videos on archetypes he actually likes is probably much harder, but it’s funny how bright, colorful, and energetic this episode is, even down to thumbnail.
Alphan Spike is kinda neat since the monster it cheats outs for your opponent wasn't summoned properly, so a lot of boss monsters won't get their on-summon effect, and it can't be revived from the GY later since it wasn't summoned properly. Won't come up much, and it isn't that significant...but it's funny.
"Super Quantal Mech King Great Magnus." I'm convinced that the only way that name was conceived was by one of the Konami execs throwing darts at a list of the coolest names they could think of.
That's Names Keisuke, they keep him in a closet in Konami HQ and give him a couple of bread crusts whenever they need a name for something. He's the mind behind such names as DanKira Boys Be Dancing, New Love Plus Plus, and Harlem Beat You're the One.
Yugioh and Tokusatsu seems like a match made in heaven in terms of aesthetics. Masked Heroes, Inzectors, Kaijus, Neos (probably), and now Super Quantums. This might be one of my favorite Archetype Archives so far. Loved the intro and ending skits and I got a small chuckle out of all the Toku/Sentai tangents, especially at 11:44 since I recently finished Dairanger.
I'm so happy you picked these guys to do a video on, Rata! I remember the days of three brilliant fusion and making a 9 mat Magnus first turn. Playing that was so sick. Keep up the good work man I've been watching a long time now. Happy 5th anniversary!!
YYYEEEEEESSSSS THIS IS MY FAVORITE ARCHETYPE HONESTLY! I started playing them recently so this video is amazing to see in my sub box! thank you for introducing me at least partially to kamen rider and sentai in a strange way.
I still love and play this deck to this day, even got JDF (the OG Green Ranger) to sign my green and white layers. a few suggestions id make to the deck list is trade the danger package for 3 volcanic shells, trade the diviners for ash blossoms, and trade the pot of desires for feast of the wild lv 5. Hope this helps somebody! And great vid btw!
To adress the complaint about the suits being different, each and every main deck monster is based on a different ranger team. For instance, Red layer is based on Gao Red, Green layer is Ginga Green, and Blue layer is based on blue dolphin from liveman. And of course, white layer is based on JDF trying to stay releveant
Rata returns and with an archetype that references Super Sentai/Power Rangers, is artistically coherent, functions well due to actual effort put into the design of the cards, and is overall something our sweet Slavic boy genuinely enjoys. :)
I swear, I'm like the only person with hopes for DonBrothers. IDK, Inoue has had very solid work in Kamen Rider (and whatever the fuck the second halves of Faiz and Hibiki were), and Jetman is a certified hood classic. But with that aside, I'm glad we finally got to review this archetype. Now when Masked Heroes? Addendum: I just realized the Core 3 Super Quantal Mechs are a homage to Liveman, with them being a bird (Jet Falcon), a lion (Land Lion), and then a shark, that is to say, sea creature (Aqua Dolphin)
Inoue used to be the guy who did good for most of a series and fucked up more as it went in, looking at you last episode of Jetman among other things, but as time went on he started skipping straight to the "fucked up more" period. Those Zi-O vs Decade Rider Times were legitimately fucking awful and that's the last major Toku stuff he's done, which doesn't help.
Right when i was looking for decks with interesting themes that are reflected in their playstyle, Rata comes as a saviour. I love how much you love he archetype dude. You should show off more stuff you are giddy for like these.
Being one of my favorite decks I loved this video and the jokes where perfect. My special story with the deck is that like 3-4 years ago I discovered this deck existed and searched my town for anybody with the deck but failed , till my birthday one of my best friends literaly threw the deck and my face and shouted “happy birthday !” And left , and now I had the deck I was so happy XD , special place in my heart and collection for that since I’m still very good friends with that person
I think the idea of making the sword finisher attack a trap card is because rangers never start the battle with the finisher. So... you know, fight a little before you can use this baby
I absolutely love this archetype, too. One of my favorite unexpected choices is Message in a Bottle. It works surprisingly really really well, and the field spell lets it duck under the card's Xyz Summon requirements. It does take some set up and luck, but if it pays off, you get MASSIVE advantage from it.
0:27 Funny enough, Air Neos still lives in the Legacy of the Duelist game.... too bad nobody plays that game 3:42 Carter Grayson being used as the reference for crazy is perfect (Or i guess GoRed from GoGoV is the crazy one you mean?) 4:14 the diss towards jason david frank is a nice take that 5:34 The fact RATA references Zenkaiger and Don Brothers is true proof he is very deep into the fandom 9:26 I love this effort put into the summon of Great Magnus into the video 14:42 Well that gotta leave a mark 15:11 yes, sentai is also gonna get hit too
@@BurningAzure i think it was the commentary about it fumbling. maybe it was just a balanced "one sentai season gets a joke, 1 ranger season too". the only wat to make it more balanced would be to make a joke about a specific sentai actor like jason david frank was. then again maybe is balanced by joking about donbrother's "out of the box" designs
God I love this video and this archetype. To this day I’m still playing the power rangers and having a blast with them, even if I don’t always win. Here’s hoping we get more support for the deck.
Barely halfway through the video and it's definitely my favourite one on the channel just due to how much passion Rata has for the subject matter. It's nice to see and hear.
I learned to love this deck a few months ago,a tad hard to pilot(fitting I guess lol) and it has few issues that need solving(like literally a backrow card worth crap lol) but still it's a blast and quite competitive in the right hands Oh and glad to see you rata here for many more years of your channel!
2 years later, I still play this deck in Master Duel. Granted, it's way different than how it started out. The most current iteration Ive built uses Danger!s for discard fodder/draw power and tossing in the usual Ash Blossoms along with some Ghost Ogres also allow synchros into Baronne and Chaos Angel. Also my Quants have befriended some terrific women on their adventures. Namely Underworld Goddess, Appalousa and tbeir naughty pal SP Lil' Knight. (I think she's gonna be HUGE in the HipHop community)
I'm surprised you haven't done Fire Kings. With your love of nuke effects, and FK being a deck about having a nuke and nuking your nuke so that you can nuke your nuke. They've been my favorite archetype since high-school, being the first structure deck I've ever had.
Super quantum archive, AKA the perfect excuse to poke fun at all things sentai Also not sure if it's just me but Magnacarrier always reminded me of the Soul Bird from Gaoranger.
As a fellow fan of Power Rangers, Super Quants will always hold a special place in my heart, and I do hope we get some more support for them in the future. They're not in as bad a position as certain other archetypes I like, but there's definitely room for improvement.
Super Quants are my favorite. When I first saw them be released, I went to them over Phantom Knights and Raidraptors. Because I like sentai and power rangers. When I first built it, I ran Volcanic Shells because if you can get red, blue, green, and the field spell with one shell in hand, it would be a first turn magnus with six units just saying screw you to the opponent. I want this archetype to get more love.
I was hoping to see this. Super Quantums are one of my most favorite archetypes. I'm more for Gundam than Power Rangers, but as long as I can pilot a mech, I'm a happy player.

"I put a win more card in my deck, but now i'm winning less?" Once again, Rata knocks it out of the park

Win more is obviously very misleading.
Not exactly win more you can equip it to any xyz monster including liger.

Me: im tired. And sad. It feels as if nothing can cheer me up.
*opens youtube, rata posts for one of the coolest archetypes ever*
Me: im a happy man
Oh cool, a new Archetype Archive, I love these videos. I wish this guy uploaded more. Oh shapesnatch it's always fun to see him again-- YO IS THAT A FUCKING ENA PLUSHIE, THAT'S SICK
I know it wasn’t intentionally, but it’s pretty appropriate that this overview of an Xyz archetype dropped on the same day as the big Xyz Master Duel event
Now I want to play a "quant" deck for the event, but I spend all my gems on a train deck which I feel is kinda ironic
10:55 “The only morally correct way to use Dragoon is as a drink coaster.” Welp, now I know what to do with my first Dragoon if I ever pull one. Seriously, I was already disinterested in the card, but then a few weeks ago, I was about to finally beat the ‘unbeatable judge’ at my locals when he drew the fusion on his last turn and OTKd me right there! Frankly, it can’t be banned soon enough.
It’s already banned in the OCG, so hopefully it won’t take long for TCG to catch up.
Play UAs.
There is no greater joy than my brother summoning dragoon me going "ah, I have no outs to it I guess I should just scoop....unless" and then a 6500 attack basketball player dunking a hole through the unbeatable dragoon
Any day that rata uploads is automatically a good one. Thanks for making good content for so many years man
Amen
Hearing rata geek out about sentai and cool robots makes me smile.
me too
Oh man, the Rata x Rangers crossover I’ve been desperately craving.
something I didn't know I needed! I feel you haha!
OH YES BABY! I remember playing Super Quants a bit during the late Xyz era (or whenever the fuck they came out) and absolutely loving them, so I'm glad Rata is treating them with the respect they deserve. I hope he does the same with Gladiator Beasts!
Super Quants came out during the Pendulum Era IIRC
@@hotaruasakura9120 I can't actually remember. They could have.
Well since Emergency Teleport is back at 3 this should make it more consistent now.
I wish so too bro on Gladiator Beast!
Your flashier editing really fits this archetype, making this video as fun to watch as it is to listen to. Even after 5 years of this, you're still improving on the tried and true. I love it.
"I'm qualified, I crashed a decoyroid once" fucking comedy gold
I am a huge power rangers dork so by default I _adore_ this archetype.
Thanks for all the laughs and cards, Rata.
I literally rewatched this yesterday before the news hit. Damn that's rough.
What news?
@@ThunderGiant The guy who played the Green ranger died. Took his own life.
It's even worse now that Hasbro has effectively killed Power Rangers as an IP.
I could definitely see it getting at least two more main deck monsters, two more Mech Beast cards, witch each one being either Earth or Dark attribute, and perhaps add one or two more boss monsters. One that is based on a auxiliary megazord, and one that is an actual Ultrazord.
wouldn't it be more like "ultra ultrazord"?
Like how we got some in boukenger/operation overdrive and RPM/Go-onger
the link monster feels like the modern ultrazords that are called as suchbut at best is the main red ranger zord that sadly is like 75% of the body, combined with the newest one and maybe the sixth ranger's zord
Yeah, they could use the auxiliary megazord. although i think those would have an effect that lets them equip to a superquant xyz monster tou control once per turn. and maybe lets it special summon itself (like their union monster that its not a union)
10:55
“This card doesn’t deserve a spot in my deck, but it might make a good coaster for my DRINK!”
Best reference lmao
I remember playing Janky zombie structure deck back in 2018, I ran Lusterex in the ED and the only way I could summon it was by overlaying Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon and Red-Eyes Zombie Necro Dragon, it was absolutely not worth it but I am ashamed to admit that I did it more than a few times (somehow) just because my lack of XYZ monsters made summoning it really cool to me
Okay, I know more support would be cool, but could you imagine if they did the same thing with Super Quantums as they do with Six Samurai? Where each new support wave brings new Monsters with a new Aesthetic, to represent the changing teams
Rata! I had just decided to make Trains in master duel and now you have sold me on Super Quants and now I dont know what to do! Your enthusiasm for these archetypes is very infectious. Love your videos, I rewatch regularly and I'm always happy to see new stuff.
Rest in Peace Jason David Frank
Been waiting for this one for a long time. I'm definitely an old school "set one monster and pass" kind of player, but Super Quants are the one deck I have a real soft spot for.
That opening, both the skit and the archetype overview were so wholesome while keeping the style of humor that makes these videos so fun to watch
This has to be one of my favorite Archetype Archives ever. Thanks so much for covering this.
Now if only we can get a Black, Yellow, and/or Pink Layer with their own beasts and mech king(maybe as some sort rivals or evil turn friend like the thunder beetle rangers or the teams fight but ultimately team up against evil) and a better mech king combination since blaster magnus is just a band-aid come on mystic rata powers
Now we just need an archetype based on the enemies of Sentai/Power Rangers. Their minions would be low level that provide the usual functions (search, recovery etc.), and the high level Main Deck monsters would be the actual villains. However when a villain would be destroyed, instead it floats into its 'mega' form which is represented by an XYZ monster, with the villain as material.
And yes, it is required by law to for the archetpye to include a card that is named "MAKE MY MONSTER GROW"
I haven’t played yu gi oh in years and I don’t keep up with it, but I will admit, listening to you talk about some of these archetypes and learning about the backstories and themes actually makes me want to play. Keep up the good work sir
Wow, this video was just a pleasant experience, the archetype is decent, it's got a fun theme, rata actually likes it.
These last few featured archetypes have been pretty good, so I think it's time for some blood. Some real gore, a true horror show.
I vote Dinowrestlers, every effect of theirs I've ever read is so bad it feels like it came out 3 animes ago.
Oh wow, I've never actually heard of this archetype before, so this is the first time I've seen any of these monsters. These things all look rad as hell! All of the designs for the not-Rangers feel super on point, and even the not-Zords they pilot also hold the aesthetic they are going for really well too.
2:11 I'd like to say that the editing here was clean as hell.
I love when Rata does archetypes he likes. The tone is different but notable and it makes for a very fun video where the jokes are fueled by his passion rather than just "angy boy card bad!!"
The evolution of Rata's hair throughout the years has been mesmerizing. From a generic guy from Montenegro, he now looks like he's gonna be friends with a talking Great Dane and go around the world with a trap lover, a generic attractive white lady, and a thicc nerd solving mysteries and hunting down men in really convincing monster costumes.
Btw Dragonmaid Archetype Archive when
Zoinks Shape my snacks like got snatched!
Like, zoinks, what do you have there, Fred?
Oh, this? This lets me search for any trap. Watch!
Astolfo: You summoned me, master?
Rata = Shaggy = God?
But he's supported by Toadally Awesome and they have Ojama Lime as a mascot
Sigh Jason David Frank...
Not gonna lie, I expected the Googly Eyes Drum Dragon to explode the moment Ojama Lime jumped in. But destruction was still had so I guess I was a little correct.
I'm shocked Orbital 7 (Yes those monsters were played by him in the anime) didn't show up at the end and in response to the carnage say "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!"
@@Rabbitlord108Maybe he's still busy being dead/nonfunctional on the moon with an equally dead teen inside of him.
@@goodpeople25 To be fair at the end of Zexal that bot is married to Lillybot and they SOMEHOW had KIDS! So maybe they retired from dueling to focus on work and family.
Firstly, a bit late, but happy 5 years of probably my favorite Yu-Gi-Oh! Comprehension series to ever exist on RUclips.
Secondly, I cannot get over how much I love the way you transitioned into Great Magnus.
Timestamp: 9:32
I Love Super Quant monsters! The fact they reference Liveman(my favorite) more than any other Super Sentai serires in their aesthetics, makes me love it even more!.
Edit: Some References:
-The team/zords are clearly Liveman and LiveRobo (twin dolphin legs+Lion chest, the eagle is missing though)
-Magnacarrier is the zord carrier from Liveman, oldschool non-teleport manual transport of zords.
-White Layer is more in tune with Kibaranger like Rata said, but I see a lot more of AbareKiller (Dino Thunder White) on it.
-Alphan Spike is another retro sentai thing....like 1st ever sentai retro we are talkign about, it's the Goranger Hurricane!!! They just pass the ball from team mate to team mate and then spike the ball to blast the opponent LOL
-Magnaslayer is just Sunrise mech pose
Yo, this drops right after I finally grind back to Plat in season 2 on Master Duel with these guys. I was bored of having to try hard with Dragonmaid, and I believed in the power of Super Quant.
People always get Blaster Magna wrong, though. It's not a bandaid for Link. In Link Era, you coulnd't even Summon Great Magnus using this Link, because you needed a 4th spot. This card is meant to cover the losses of the Field Spell's discard cost, meaning you'll plus off it from the theme's GY effects. In post-Link Era, this card makes making Great Magnus ez as cake in situations where you wouldn't normally have enough resources.
I only realized the 4 zones MR4 ruling when I got reminded of it after uploading the video. Omitting this genuinely crazy fact is going to haunt me for fucking life. Thanks for pointing it out.
>try hard with Dragonmaid
What a fucking world. Remember when Dragonmaids were a joke?
Was just in the process of watching old Archetype Archives, so... yeah, I’m good with this! And it’s for a deck I know all of one card from!
Having finished the video, weird but definitely pleasant to hear energy in Rata’s voice again as he talks about something he definitely likes. Shame that making videos on archetypes he actually likes is probably much harder, but it’s funny how bright, colorful, and energetic this episode is, even down to thumbnail.
Alphan Spike is kinda neat since the monster it cheats outs for your opponent wasn't summoned properly, so a lot of boss monsters won't get their on-summon effect, and it can't be revived from the GY later since it wasn't summoned properly.
Won't come up much, and it isn't that significant...but it's funny.
"Super Quantal Mech King Great Magnus." I'm convinced that the only way that name was conceived was by one of the Konami execs throwing darts at a list of the coolest names they could think of.
That's Names Keisuke, they keep him in a closet in Konami HQ and give him a couple of bread crusts whenever they need a name for something.
He's the mind behind such names as DanKira Boys Be Dancing, New Love Plus Plus, and Harlem Beat You're the One.
@awkwardcultism those aren't real. You're pulling my leg
Yugioh and Tokusatsu seems like a match made in heaven in terms of aesthetics. Masked Heroes, Inzectors, Kaijus, Neos (probably), and now Super Quantums. This might be one of my favorite Archetype Archives so far. Loved the intro and ending skits and I got a small chuckle out of all the Toku/Sentai tangents, especially at 11:44 since I recently finished Dairanger.
It is so themathic he chose dairanger reference when he could have easily chose justin from turbo
So many great things this episode. The resurrection of shape, Rata talking about an archetype he likes, and the extra long ojama lime short.
I'm so happy you picked these guys to do a video on, Rata! I remember the days of three brilliant fusion and making a 9 mat Magnus first turn. Playing that was so sick. Keep up the good work man I've been watching a long time now. Happy 5th anniversary!!
The opening sequence is just fantastic. Academy Award material 100/10!
2:28 seeing this art just made me like this archetype even more than I already did
Magnacarrier is one of those cards that if you stare at is art for longer than five seconds the whole this falls apart
YYYEEEEEESSSSS THIS IS MY FAVORITE ARCHETYPE HONESTLY! I started playing them recently so this video is amazing to see in my sub box! thank you for introducing me at least partially to kamen rider and sentai in a strange way.
A day where Rata uploads is a good day. Especially when it's chock full of him going full geek with super sentai reference
I still love and play this deck to this day, even got JDF (the OG Green Ranger) to sign my green and white layers. a few suggestions id make to the deck list is trade the danger package for 3 volcanic shells, trade the diviners for ash blossoms, and trade the pot of desires for feast of the wild lv 5. Hope this helps somebody! And great vid btw!
The Green Ranger bit aged horrifically
That is the most poorly aged joke that rata ever made
It sure did!
To adress the complaint about the suits being different, each and every main deck monster is based on a different ranger team. For instance,
Red layer is based on Gao Red, Green layer is Ginga Green, and Blue layer is based on blue dolphin from liveman. And of course, white layer is based on JDF trying to stay releveant
They also look like a thing that Konami did for a few years in the early-mid 2000's.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chouseishin_Series
Rata returns and with an archetype that references Super Sentai/Power Rangers, is artistically coherent, functions well due to actual effort put into the design of the cards, and is overall something our sweet Slavic boy genuinely enjoys. :)
My only experience with this archetype prior to this is using red layer in warrior toolbox decks.
They look very cool design wise though.
3:36 the "lswarm" was also a funny one I remember for Evilswarm and Steelswarm
RIP Jason David Frank
I swear, I'm like the only person with hopes for DonBrothers. IDK, Inoue has had very solid work in Kamen Rider (and whatever the fuck the second halves of Faiz and Hibiki were), and Jetman is a certified hood classic. But with that aside, I'm glad we finally got to review this archetype.
Now when Masked Heroes?
Addendum: I just realized the Core 3 Super Quantal Mechs are a homage to Liveman, with them being a bird (Jet Falcon), a lion (Land Lion), and then a shark, that is to say, sea creature (Aqua Dolphin)
Inoue used to be the guy who did good for most of a series and fucked up more as it went in, looking at you last episode of Jetman among other things, but as time went on he started skipping straight to the "fucked up more" period. Those Zi-O vs Decade Rider Times were legitimately fucking awful and that's the last major Toku stuff he's done, which doesn't help.
I feel that Rata has been waiting for the perfect way to nerd out on Super Sentai and this was just the perfect outlet that he needed.
The Tokusatsu references are so beautifully specific it's killing me. This channel couldn't be more made for me.
Right when i was looking for decks with interesting themes that are reflected in their playstyle, Rata comes as a saviour.
I love how much you love he archetype dude. You should show off more stuff you are giddy for like these.
So nice seeing Rata happy for once when talking about an archetype
Being one of my favorite decks I loved this video and the jokes where perfect. My special story with the deck is that like 3-4 years ago I discovered this deck existed and searched my town for anybody with the deck but failed , till my birthday one of my best friends literaly threw the deck and my face and shouted “happy birthday !” And left , and now I had the deck I was so happy XD , special place in my heart and collection for that since I’m still very good friends with that person
I think the idea of making the sword finisher attack a trap card is because rangers never start the battle with the finisher. So... you know, fight a little before you can use this baby
Magnus: Fights a little
Any enemy: Is blood pancake before the finisher is warmed up
@@autobotstarscream765 magnus always makes sure to double tap. And then proceeds to unload 2 full clips into em
I absolutely love this archetype, too. One of my favorite unexpected choices is Message in a Bottle. It works surprisingly really really well, and the field spell lets it duck under the card's Xyz Summon requirements. It does take some set up and luck, but if it pays off, you get MASSIVE advantage from it.
Message in a Bottle literally reads like it should have been named a Super Quant card.
0:27 Funny enough, Air Neos still lives in the Legacy of the Duelist game.... too bad nobody plays that game
3:42 Carter Grayson being used as the reference for crazy is perfect (Or i guess GoRed from GoGoV is the crazy one you mean?) 4:14 the diss towards jason david frank is a nice take that
5:34 The fact RATA references Zenkaiger and Don Brothers is true proof he is very deep into the fandom
9:26 I love this effort put into the summon of Great Magnus into the video 14:42 Well that gotta leave a mark
15:11 yes, sentai is also gonna get hit too
What does he have against Lupinranger vs Pataranger?
@@BurningAzure i think it was the commentary about it fumbling. maybe it was just a balanced "one sentai season gets a joke, 1 ranger season too".
the only wat to make it more balanced would be to make a joke about a specific sentai actor like jason david frank was.
then again maybe is balanced by joking about donbrother's "out of the box" designs
The fact that Sentai is on life support right now and this can be 100% traced to LuPat doesn't hurt.
Yeah, JDF joke kinda hits differently now.
God I love this video and this archetype. To this day I’m still playing the power rangers and having a blast with them, even if I don’t always win. Here’s hoping we get more support for the deck.
Barely halfway through the video and it's definitely my favourite one on the channel just due to how much passion Rata has for the subject matter. It's nice to see and hear.
This is honestly one of my favorite opening bits archetype archive has had to date. XD the fusion thing has been bothering me for years.
I learned to love this deck a few months ago,a tad hard to pilot(fitting I guess lol) and it has few issues that need solving(like literally a backrow card worth crap lol) but still it's a blast and quite competitive in the right hands
Oh and glad to see you rata here for many more years of your channel!
Rata over here asking for the Inzektor crossover, but I also really want to see the Quantum Mechs face off against the Kaiju archetype.
2 years later, I still play this deck in Master Duel. Granted, it's way different than how it started out. The most current iteration Ive built uses Danger!s for discard fodder/draw power and tossing in the usual Ash Blossoms along with some Ghost Ogres also allow synchros into Baronne and Chaos Angel. Also my Quants have befriended some terrific women on their adventures. Namely Underworld Goddess, Appalousa and tbeir naughty pal SP Lil' Knight. (I think she's gonna be HUGE in the HipHop community)
I'm surprised you haven't done Fire Kings. With your love of nuke effects, and FK being a deck about having a nuke and nuking your nuke so that you can nuke your nuke. They've been my favorite archetype since high-school, being the first structure deck I've ever had.
I heard you like field nukes, and thus I put a nuke in your nuke so you can nuke while you nuke.
Thanks Rata for uploading this Archetype Archive a week after I put up my Super Quant and bumping that videos views 😂
Super quantum archive, AKA the perfect excuse to poke fun at all things sentai
Also not sure if it's just me but Magnacarrier always reminded me of the Soul Bird from Gaoranger.
As a fellow fan of Power Rangers, Super Quants will always hold a special place in my heart, and I do hope we get some more support for them in the future. They're not in as bad a position as certain other archetypes I like, but there's definitely room for improvement.
I'm happy for all the callouts to Super Sentai. But you did not need to throw Lupinranger V.S. Patranger under the bus like that.
But he's right
I really love these long videos about archetypes I haven’t heard of, please keep making more
Certainly love the aesthetics of this archetype, feel like it could use more Rangers and Mechs to give a bit more modern support too
I was afraid you'd tear these guys apart but as a fellow Sentai/PR fan I love them just as much as you do so I was very happy with this video :)
It's Morbin' time
A very neat archetype, and yes, i agree that when the mechanics of the deck play well to the design inspiration, it makes things sing all the more.
Super Quants are my favorite. When I first saw them be released, I went to them over Phantom Knights and Raidraptors. Because I like sentai and power rangers.
When I first built it, I ran Volcanic Shells because if you can get red, blue, green, and the field spell with one shell in hand, it would be a first turn magnus with six units just saying screw you to the opponent. I want this archetype to get more love.
I was hoping to see this. Super Quantums are one of my most favorite archetypes. I'm more for Gundam than Power Rangers, but as long as I can pilot a mech, I'm a happy player.
