    Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning is my favorite Yugioh card ever. The artwork, the chaos concept behind it and the fact that was one of the strongest monsters when it was released. When I saw the card for the first time I immediately wanted it and finally managed to get one through trade during high school. Yeah it's been power creeped and reprinted to hell now but it still remains my favorite card and I still have my first copy of the card to this day.

      @Augusto Zoli plus the whole reason it was that powerful in the first place was because it was piss easy to wipe the entire board and hand with chaos emperor dragon and then float into yata. In an era of slow ass decks the yata-lock deck was practically an olympic sprinter and there weren't really responses to it. These days there's not really a 1 card option to wipe everything and there's like 50 layers of disruption, not to mention that the graveyard is functionally a second hand. Yata would flounder against a wall of hand traps and graveyard effects if it only destroyed the board, and any kind of janky setup you'd be doing to get a board, graveyard, AND hand wipe off would probably be incredibly easy to disrupt. A modern yata-lock would probably have about as much impact as other super inconsistent gimmic decks do.
      That being said, I think Yata is just on there these days because Konami has a nagging "what if" in the back of their head that they might have accidentally printed (or will accidentally print) something that would make it oppressive again.

    Sacred Soldier was a maybe-sometimes tech card for Duel Links, in the Vampire Deck. Vampires do not rely on Normal Summon much (or use effects to give extra Normal Summons) and often banished Dark monsters, so Sacred Soldier was useful for recycling resources and also putting some points on the board.

  • @PANICBLADE
    @PANICBLADE 2 года назад +2

    I love the natural synergy of the BLS Super Soldier with Envoy of the Beginning. If you run 3 of each, it's very easy to get both on the field at once before you even normal summon because you can send the light/dark monsters you need for Envoy to the grave through the Super Soldier ritual. I know it's not a super competitive meta build or anything but it still has otk potential and is super fun to run.

    Envoy of the Beginning may have been the most OP BLS card for a looong time and probably had the most impact but I strongly consider Soldier of Chaos his final form. And what I especially love about it, aside from how good it is, is how easily you can put it in a deck based off Yugi and, even disregarding, it's just so good in other, more regular decks, that I would absolutely try to fit it into one if I had it.
    To conclude... reprint plz, Konami?

    • @ShiningJudgment666
      @ShiningJudgment666 3 года назад +3

      Any Deck that can easily use a Level 7+ monster for Link Material should try to fit it. It's no joke and well worth summoning with protection. Even with 1 ATK boost, it can be nigh-unstoppable since it can't be run over easily since 4500 ATK trumps most other boss monsters and it can get stronger still and it will have pretty solid protection (Dark Dragoon level protection). And it can banish stuff. The double attack effect is kinda slow though since you need to wait a turn to benefit from it. I have one. Wasn't cheap. Costed me more than Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon.

    Great video. Just to add to the discussion:
    The original vanilla BLS released in 1999 was made of stainless steel (therefore illegal). Also only 1 copy existed. However, if it were legal at the time, it would've been meta defining for a few formats because at the time, the OCG's rules allowed level 5 and higher monsters to be summoned without tribute. And BLS is superior to Blue-Eyes because:
    A. Dragon Capture Jar existed and had potential to stop Blue-Eyes and Curse of Dragon, but not BLS
    B. Legendary Sword existed and had a place in the meta because of Kanan, Gaia, and other smaller Warrior beaters. Sword made BLS bigger than Blue-Eyes.
    But this is a hypothetical what-if format.

    Idea for Sacred Soldier.
    *Ursarctic Chaos deck*.
    There are 2 Gaia cards who help you get BLS monsters on the field when tributed. Charging Gaia searches a BLS monster, and Arisen Gaia special Simmons a BLS monster. And Ursarctics need to tribute level 7+ monsters from the hand or field to use their quick Summoning effects. So, you tribute Charging Gaia to summon an Ursarctic and search Sacred Soldier. Then you tribute Arisen Gaia to summon Sacred Soldier and another Ursarctic. Then you add Charging Gaia back to your hand with Sacred Soldier, for more search/tribute fodder.
    I’m only half joking with this.

    I remember playing ritual bls deck using beginning and evening twilight knight to ritual summer super soldier,the banishing was fun and you could deal 6000 damage with only 1 card it was crazy

    Seeing that toon bls has all of the Toon text, I’m really surprised Konami never just put all the instructions on Toon World and then made every card just say stuff like “can only be special summoned by the effect of Toon World”. Would have saved so much text, especially on a lot of the older toon monsters

    I am sad about the fact that when summon sorceress was running rampant, I had a deck where you summoned her, target a warrior monster, summoned galloping gaia, tributed it with a ritual spell. In this case I was using hymn of light to summon queen of dragons, searched Envoy of the evening twilight, used divine sword phoenix blade to banish monsters so I would have equal lights and darks and ripped a card from my opponents hand. My deck left you with your draw phase card. I miss summon sorceress :(

    5:17 you stated this multiple times but you hadn’t watched the anime so you wouldn’t know this but the card is widely remembered due to the anime kaiba and yugi team up moment :p it was a anime filler episode(I think it was filler)

    Chaos Form, plus "Super Soldier" cards, seem to provide added support to BLS (mostly the ritual side), as an archetype, but not much. At least from looking up and reading the cards' text on the yugioh database.
    Come to think of it, I'm surprised most BLS monster cards have yet to be re-printed with a disclaimer text, which says, "This card is always treated as a 'Chaos' monster." Seeing as how 'Chaos' is in the card's name in the OCG (i. e. The card's name is "Chaos Soldier," rather than "BLS").

    • @jedaye47
      @jedaye47 3 года назад

      I think they dont need to reprint because there's nothing giving support to the chaos series

    Dragon Master Knight is best in Cyberdark decks, if you can dump it to give the fusions a massive attack boost.

    For me it is great that nowadays one can have the opportunity to find Dragon Master Knight in competitive decks just because it is a great option to send to the GY via Dogmatika Punishment to guarantee you kill your opponent's monster.

    • @ShiningJudgment666
      @ShiningJudgment666 3 года назад +1

      It's a last resort option at best if you're in a situation where you're against something that you wouldn't normally be able to activate Punishment against. Dogmatika Punishment would be mediocre if it didn't have the interactions with Elder Entity N'tss or Titaniklad the Ash Dragon in most cases since they turn a +0 into a +1. Also, Five-Headed Link Dragon would probably be a better target since it would at least be summonable (generic Link-5 with 5000 ATK) though I personally never go into anything higher than a Link-3 (BLS - Soldier of Chaos or Knightmare Unicorn) in decks using the Dogmatika engine.
