I love when they release the reference art for monsters, always nice to see little stories outside of their card art. If Konami released short mangas for more than just Sky strikers they would make hella cash
I wouldn't be surprised if the 4th snake child is being used by the hunters to hunt Diabel and I figured Diabel was the Queen or at least may be being groomed to be the New Queen for the Snake Eyes.
Based on recent OCG trends, Diabellestarr’s an amazing addition to R-Ace, since you can search Hydrant. So if your a fan of Maki from Fire Force, you now have just the deck for you.
Diabellstar seems like she would be a fun protagonist to follow, with the whole "cursed weapon" thing allowing for an arsenal that could be amazing to watch. Guess I can add her on the list of Yu-Gi-Oh cards that I would love to see a proper anime for, alongside Revendread Slayer, Gagagigo, Raye, World Legacy, etc.
I'm really feeling this lore so far, definitely more than I was Visas. I'm excited to see where they take our resident hunter with Bayonetta vibes next
@@halyoalex8942 Yeah, honestly I'm surprised not to hear the connection more often. Stylish witch with demon companions she summons to battle is the major Bayonetta vibes and as a big fan of the franchise I'm excited to see where Belle goes
1:57 She has Protagonist's Ace Monster Stats 5:04 has the same ATK / DEF as Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon. So in my book, it does have Rival's Ace monster stats 9:28 Diabellestar: "My nose is not that big, isn't it?" 15:55 Inspiration of the Snake-Eyes
Gem of rebellion can be run in Vaylantz since the in-archetype cards that put monsters in the spell and trap zone don’t work on monsters in the extra monster zone
You knocked this video out of the park! Something about this archetype really really appeals to me, and I loved your coverage of it. I’ve enjoyed the shit out of you covering the Abyss storyline, so I can’t wait to see how you cover future archetypes related to these guys! Thanks again!
I remember researching the figure Diabellestar is named after. I have some ideas about more cards that could be added. And remember, people, lore cards are made up of several sets so I’m predicting at least four more card themes to attach to this.
16:23 which was revealed to be poppler WHO resembles flamberge WHO IS supposed to be the Grass snake Prince which means they're gonna pull a Buster blader and have poppler evolved into another flamberge
I don’t know if anyone else mentioned this but I didn’t hear it in your video. One of the things that has me excited about disbellatar is that I think the monster is based on a real person. Belle Starr (nickname) was a real American outlaw and I’m excited to see what they have for her in the yugioh lore
@@arcanaido6415just look Yu-Gi-Oh ocg stories on google. Currently fan translations still stuck on sky striker story, is ending soon though since the manga characters has gotten their card form on the ocg
I know this hasn't really been done with a lore archetype before, in tandem with a world release, but I am partially convinced Tistina is another archetype in the lore. In terms of design they have a lot of similarities with Snake-eyes and its setting mechanic seems like something that can be easily turned into a Sinful Spoils tech just like Snake-eyes' spell/trap zone mechanic does. As for my thoughts on Diabellestar as an archetype, it's really fun to see the Devil May Cry type video game mechanic of the hero gaining new tech and weapons based on the boss monsters they beat being turned into the card games.
ADHD story brain go brrrrr: Albaz and Ecclesia cross paths with Diabellestarr after she gets thrown out of some bar and they decide to help her out (or need to chase her down after she pockets Ecclesia's wallet, I wish I could actually write these down instead of just imagining them in my head)
This feels like episode 1 of an anime. We witness our badass outlaw protagonist doing her usual thing, killing monsters and collecting treasures through the use of her abnormal abilities. I imagine that in the next set, episode 2, we'll be introduced to some kind of travel companion/support character for her. Maybe another monster of the same archetype, maybe a rep from a newer archetype made for this story
I'm liking the artwork a lot, kinda wanna try if this can work alongside Evil Eye, tho I don't think there's any direct synergy at all, more just two different playstyles (which I do really like in decks)
@@mrmeteor64 1x Abominable Unchained Soul 1x Unchained Sharvara 1x Unchained Shayama 2x Unchained Aruha 2x Unchained Sarama 3x Tour Guide 3x Ash Blossom 1x Serziel Watcher of the Evil Eye 1x Medusa Watcher of the Evil Eye 1x each of Basiltrice, Catoblepas, and Basilius 2x Evil Eyes Unleashed 1x Evil Eye Awakening 3x Abomination's Prison 1x each of Reasoning, Foolish Burial, Monster Reborn, and Called by the Grave 3x Wailing of the Unchained Souls 1x Evil Eye Gorgoneio 1x Evil Eye Selene 2x Evil Eye Domain 2x Quaking Mirror Force 1x Escape of the Unchained 2x Abominable Chamber of the Unchained EXTRA DECK 3x Unchained Abomination 1x Zerrziel Ruler of the Evil Eyed 3x Unchained Soul of Anguish 3x Unchained Soul King Yama 2x Gorgon, Empress of the Evil Eyed 3x Unchained Soul of Rage The side deck was pretty much all the other archetypal cards to make it easy to change out the ratios. You can probably tell I haven't done a lot of work with the deck. Basically just started with what I thought were the best engines of both and haven't yet had a chance to incorporate any meta strategies. Bystial is a staple and probably Dharc that could fit in well.
If you want something cheeky, mix evil eye with Destiny Board. Which is literally a 15 card side deck basically. Three destiny board, one of each letter, three sentence of Doom, 2 dark Spirit's mastery and three dark sanctuary. So you can still run pure evil eye but then smoke screen into Destiny Board. Which I have managed to pull off twice
One thing that I'm wondering about is if the Diabelle lore archetypes are going to be super specialized like Snake-Eye is so far, with Diabelle and the Sinful Spoils coming in as generic combo pieces to round out the decks.
My headcanon is that Diabellstar is hunting the Spoils down to prevent their power from being abused, and she knows too well who wants to do just that. Thus, she's being hunted. Plus, the spoils themselves seem to not like the notion of their power being used for evil ends, thus making their partnership with Diabellstar make more sense.
i probably not original to come up with this but running this in a link deck would be crazy. flameberge activates if it is sent to gy in anyway, including as link material, giving you two more monsters on the field for material or even more if 1 of the monsters is a snake-eye that didn't activate it's effect this turn, or a jet synchron imagine sending one snake-eye and jet synchron to bring out flameberg, turn one of your opponent's monsters into a spell, flameberge and another monster into a link 2(sunlight wolf), revive the snake and and jet(and maybe return the flameberge to hand with sunlight wolf), use them to do whatever, revive jet again also you could use magician's soul to send diabellester to grave, and if you have hunter fiend as one of your spells, you can send it and the other spell, draw 2, return the other spell with hunter fiend
I was so surprised to know this is from a Lithuanian tale! I’m glad Yu-Gi-Oh! is bringing in stories from many different backgrounds, especially considering I have Lithuanian lineage that never got passed down to me
I'm definitely getting Sinbad from the the anime Magi feel from this character like she's going into the dungeons and gaining the powers of as many Djinn as possible continue to run afoul with the Royals who believed that divine power to belong to them.
From a lore point of view, is there any connection here with Saambell and Risebell, for some reason those 2 crazy kids popped into my head as soon as I saw Diabellestar, or is there story played out somewhere else?
I hope it won't be crazy expensive on release :( I just want the new meta cards to be straight up super cheap on release. So tired of waiting for 1 year or more for reprints....
1. New deck to pilot as pure as possible cuz funny 2. Wish they made a metroid referenced deck, I want my discuss samus (probably either a synchro or fusion type deck)
id say the archtype has a decent enough gameplan to stand on its own already. put some extra deck support and negates into the mix and you have a deck focused on continuous non-destruction removal with high otk potential. there are already other small archtypes that work just fine on their own with a bit of generic support like dragonmaids and labrynth which both rely on small monster swarming into one or two boss monsters just like snake-eyes.
My Lore theory is that she's going to get overwhelmed by corruption once she gets enough Sinful Spoils and then becomes the Final Boss for another group of Heroes
…yugioh…new archetype called snake eye…Konami is making yugioh… they also made a small franchise called metal gear solid If my math is mathing then we’ll finally get a bomberman archetype 🗣️🗣️🗣️
If this is the next lore I hope it still comes around and connects to Albaz because uh, it left with a bit of loose ends and also we didn’t get the universe resetting god
Wait, doesn't vision HERO cards turn themselves into continuous spells? Idk what synergy they could have in the long run, but that's a feature I remember.
I’m really surprised no one is trying eka the flame buddy in this deck. On normal or special target a monster card in the s/t zone and summon it to your field. Sinister snake eye puts one there, eka summons it
diabellstar wopuld probobly bee a good archtype for the new yugioh proteganist. tcg style anime, not rush duel. make it on theme as a tresure hunter to get more cards to make up the extra deck. and boom, you got a base line for a story to work with. as far as i know yugioh story's. they seem to start with the proteganist to base the rest of the story off.
Oh yeah, I can see that. At first I got hung up on the fact that they make themselves continuous trap cards, but as long as you just use Flamberge to set it up, you're all good.
Diabellestarr when see her poster: "They never get my hair right!"
I was really hoping for a reptile archetype based on the name. Alas, the noodles will struggle on
One day. One day we shall get more noodles.
If they're gonna make a good reptile archetype one day, snake rain would have to get banned sadly though :(
Calling snakes "noodles" shut up reddit is not funny
@@spinalspiral9901 what?? reddit?
@@greenarchetype
Not necessarily. The pyro soul charge is at 3.
Snake Eye: What is my purpose?
Duelists: You summon Apollousa.
Snake Eye: Oh my God.
I'm just really happy we have a new "-Eyes Dragon" archetype. I started experimenting with them and the new volcanics the day they got revealed.
Created a Blue , Galaxy eyes deck now i gotta create a snake eyes now!!
It's not a - eyes dragon archetype though. Wierd??
I love when they release the reference art for monsters, always nice to see little stories outside of their card art. If Konami released short mangas for more than just Sky strikers they would make hella cash
To be fair, OCG Stories is supposed to be adapting all manner of archetype storylines, but because it's only doing one at a time, it's very slow going
I wouldn't be surprised if the 4th snake child is being used by the hunters to hunt Diabel and I figured Diabel was the Queen or at least may be being groomed to be the New Queen for the Snake Eyes.
"You can also snipe crystal beasts and Vaylantz" You say it so confidently as if anyone plays either of those (I play both)

With your lore hunting they should hire you to work alongside solo and chronicles
God why is the yugioh lore always so interesting like it’s literally just a card game WHY IS THE LORE SO GOOD
diabellestar looking cute tbh with how lazy she really is behind the scenes and needing the sinful spoils to help her put on her coat
Gem of rebellion can be run in Vaylantz since the in-archetype cards that put monsters in the spell and trap zone don’t work on monsters in the extra monster zone

I think putting your opponent monsters into the spell and trap zone represents turning the opponent monster to stone like gorgon
I remember researching the figure Diabellestar is named after. I have some ideas about more cards that could be added.
And remember, people, lore cards are made up of several sets so I’m predicting at least four more card themes to attach to this.

Shes basically theaving bayonetta and im all for it.
16:23 which was revealed to be poppler WHO resembles flamberge WHO IS supposed to be the Grass snake Prince which means they're gonna pull a Buster blader and have poppler evolved into another flamberge

Glaring Ruler covers one weakness with the archetype, its inability to use its removal tools during opponent's turn.
But there are other other cards to help fix that issue too.
So I guess there will be a diabellstar to set or add a s/t from grave
Ok my theory is that nova is involved in this lore i mean the headband and eyes of his avatar are green/have green parts
I can neither confirm nor deny this.
Very slick video, I must admit. You've outdone yourself with the intro.
Diabellestar is a god dang protag
i can't unhear Nep's voice when looking at her

Why??
Bruh 1 is a mid tier OTK enabler and the other cannot even be played in a duel. Why errata them?
Alright, I'm going to go try and make something with this and Vaylantz, it's probably going to be too scuffed to be a realistic gameplan, but I'm sick
What do you mean "so close to Blue-Eyes"? Literally the only difference is the Attribute!
Diabellestarr has very much a Ragna The Bloodedge feel to her. It is as if Ragna and Hazama aka Yuuki Terumi had a love child and I am all for it.
