@@paddykelly2851 Yeah but if i remember Correctly, at that time you had like... no Equip cards in your deck ? i Know BWD was a useless card if you dont played against burn decks, but imo still beter then PTD.
@@TheDarcaneify "Wasn't Power Tool Dragon the worst Signer Dragon..." It wasn't even a Signer Dragon. Rua (Leo) didn't even have a mark like other Signers. It was only through his courageous will that it became Life Stream Dragon. So Black-Winged Dragon was in fact, the worst Signer Dragon!
Blackwing was my first deck when I got back to yugioh back in the day. I played as a kid obviously but when I truly learned how to play we were in the middle of synchro era and I loved this deck SO much, none other deck made so happy to play as this one. I miss playing it.
Broken enough to pretty much write Aki out of any important, meaningful role and character development in the second half of 5Ds. Daaaamn you Blackwings!
@@wind64a39 Akiza's intended storyline was also pretty clearly going to be cult-focused, which would've been... a bad idea at the time for the show. Crow was more just in the right place at the right time to capitalize on a vacuum.
@@wind64a39 that's not true if you check her Wikipedia page you will see she had her first son in 2014 and 5D's ended in 2011 That being said it's dumb hating on Crow and his BW for what happened to Aki, it's all writers' fault if anything
I’m pretty sure crow used black whirlwind once - in a duel that wasn’t a “speed duel” in the show, he used it (I believe it was the duel he played on that old duel system that was in the junk yard, don’t remember the name of it)
I kind of wish we saw what Crow's original story would've been....like how would he have turned into a Dark Signer, or even what he'd look like! Also apparently Kaiba came back from the ending of DSOD, the creator had an art of it?
The level 8 was used with Vayu. It is pretty obvious but I guess he missed that. And the Sirocco/Vayu interaction was so good that a deck revolving around it (Vayu Turbo) saw play and was a top tier contender for a while.
Not the only one. My record against the deck is terrible and even when they were really bad my luck wasn't great. I think I can count on one hand the number of times I have beaten BW's.
If I'm not wrong the reason I'm assuming Crow didn't play Whirlwind is because most of his duels where Turbo Duels (aka Card Games on Motorcycles) and in that format the only spells that were used were gimmicky speed spells that barely made a aperreance. And I guess the few duels he did have where he could use spells he didn't play it. Still even with that Crow barely lost.
I seem to recall crow’s unique arc v cards were like 1 or 2 good main deck cards and a bunch of irrelevant synchros. If you talk about all the arc v character counterparts you might be able to combine them all together in 1 video
Sirocco effect is similar to Ghostrick Ghaul who have same effect. But both play differently each other despite have same effect as Sirocco can special summon like Cyber dragon if no monster u control which is a huge plus. While Ghoul your play when Socuteboss around which make Socuteboss so hard to kill plus the damage boost also apply himself unlike Sirocco which only + 3 monster att combine, Ghoul +4 monster combine.
These cards were busted cool! The new ones.... what were they thinking? And it was Greiger, the flying fortress sky fire guy who played dark strike fighter. He used black salvo to bring back trap reactor and went into strike fighter
As somebody who never knew about competitive yugioh until recently, it makes sense to me now why BW’s don’t really get any support anymore. I would assume they’d end up being too strong and problematic if not managed properly.
Silverwind was nice because if you use Vayu's GY effect to cheat it out, it bypasses the dumb triple material requirement and it's just a nice 2800 beatstick.
Crow and his Blackwings in the anime: struggling to survive against Earthbound Immortals, the MekkLords and other broken decks in the anime His Blackwings in TCG: POWER!! UNLIMITED POWER!!!!!
Silverwind can be summoned by Vayu with armor Master for a 2800 beater according to the judges at a regional in Pittsburgh in Dark Strike Fighter Blackwings
you forgot mirror force. he had it set on the field against that clock guy but held back on activating it. i kinda expensive you not to mention it as it was very subtle and probably forgettable moment.
Too bad crow had to build his deck out of scraps from new domino city otherwise he wouldn’t have a deck mostly comprised of blackwing support that don’t help the archetype in the slightest. Why did they release like 8 blackwing cards that were meta power houses and then release like 20 cards that were utter garbage
So i never played this deck but can someone explain to why exactly this deck isn't good anymore ? Might be cause im just a casual but it always sounds like a good deck when i hear the effects. Am i missing something ?
Damage step kalut to GAGE! Did you want to get me to like and comment? Because mentioning the progression series gets me to like and comment. I'd love to see a series where you go through progression archetypes and how their decks compared to the pure archetype with access to all cards. That's just me though
Actually it did, check out Armed Wing's uncensored art, not only Konami colored his weapon of childish colors but also flattened his cock bc it was apparently too big in the OCG
Most of Crow's duels in the 5d anime were turbo duels and there was no version of Speed Spell Black Whirlwind so it would have been a dead draw just give him every card he needs in his opening draw
They are a very good archtype and they can spam blackwings to make Good synchro And some of them require a black wing tuner Armor master is basically his ace
I assume Crow never played Black Whirlwind because 5Ds was turbo dueling, where non speed spells couldnt be used, and Crow barely played any Master Duels if i remember correctly
I'm a blackwing player and tell you, I can live without Kalut, but I don't make a blackwing deck without Blizzard. Blizzard means 2 monsters, with Black Whirlwind, it means 3.
I forgot how many Blackwing monsters were guys in bird suits.... Hate it. Blackwings are like the HERO of the 5Ds era. There's ALWAYS a guy at locals trying to make them work again and every once in a while they top because of the copious amount of Blackwing Support Cards.
Can't believe that in the world where dueling is basically everything, the guy that played blackwing has struggled everyday to survive.
Remember that the duelists in Satellite also had to build decks primarily out of cards that people in Neo Domino threw away due to being considered weak.
@@Zetact_ How the hell did they play blackwings back then? Set Kalut pass?
We established early that he never used Black Whirlwind. Plus, he did use the trash Blackwings.
@@Zetact_ Actually, the Blackwing deck was given to Crow by someone else, though whether that guy scrounged for it or not is unknown.
@@Zetact_ No wonder the world went to shit.

@@quelqunx7470 The ones out of Ragnarok were insane. It was best deck for a good while, especially with 3 gateway.

Crow also played cards such as Mirror Force and Compulsory Evacuation Device.
"How Broken Were Cimo's Yu-Gi-Oh! Cards?"
Up until seeing Bora’s card art up close I thought that he was the bird but he’s not, he can see that he’s a guy wearing a birds head
Every tuner blackwing is a bird, and every non tuner is a man in a bird suit or humanoid bird thing.

Yay this series is back! Though I am a tad disappointed that none of series past 5ds has been touched...
Crow didn't use black whirlwind in the anime, although he uses it in some of the video games (like tagforce)
He used it once, in a regular duel.
Yeeeei my favourites Blackwings one of the two archetypes that took me to KOG in duel links
I played blackwings just because I opened Blackwing - Shura the blue flame from a pack and that card looks so good that I just decided to play it.
I always preferred raid raptor over blackwings. My friend would use blackwings and I would use RR all the time to see which was better all the time.

I love this guy so much blackwings were always my favourites
Lame.
We need Reginald Kastle/Nasch next.
The primary archetype in 5D's and for a good reason.
Who needs Chaos Dragon Levianeer when you have Black Wing Armed Wing who has a fucking gun
you forgot mirror force. he had it set on the field against that clock guy but held back on activating it. i kinda expensive you not to mention it as it was very subtle and probably forgettable moment.
One of my favorite decks in Duel Links
I used delta crow and trap stun back then I loved blackwings.. even when everything got hit to 1 lol
Wait that means you can summon blue flame ,special summon kochi with it s effects negated and use it to synchro summon.
Damage step?
Why wasn’t black whirlwind a field spell in the first place?
Wasn't terraforming unlimited at the time, cuz that would broken if whirlwind were to be a field spell
I still have My Blackwing deck since 2008. My one and only deck.
The big stars of The Progression series.
Props to Crow.
wait...are blackwings actually birds, or dudes with bird-like armor?
Yes
In the far distance you can hear Gage cry
Crow played trap stun too , it was decent during 5ds and zexal
Too bad crow had to build his deck out of scraps from new domino city otherwise he wouldn’t have a deck mostly comprised of blackwing support that don’t help the archetype in the slightest.
