Not gonna lie, I'm very surprised this is an archetype debuted in TCG. They are practically SLAPPING us in the face with Susanoo and the Sacred treasure of Japan Kusanagi no Tsurugi; in which the Kusanagi was found by Susanoo in the freshly dead body of Orochi, the Eight-Headed Serpent or Many-Heads Serpent.
the TCG exclusives are cards designed by the OCG, they are just released in the TCG first. if you are interested in a proof, look at this card: "SPYRAL MISSION - Assault", the card is censored in the TCG version of the card, they removed the brass knuckles. if is was censored then it was not designed by the TCG, it was just released in the TCG first.
@@BussiDestroyer Naruto did too, Orochimaru being the snake and Sasuke using Susano'o as a technique later in Shippuden. Several of his clan can use it, but I'm sure everyone got my point.
Its good to see Reptiles getting some love. Being the first wave for a tcg exclusive it is looking pre good so far. Hopefully they get some solid support in the 2nd wave. Solid cards so far and nice artwork as well. I also think this will work with a mini Ragnarika engine.
snake rain + ogdoadic goes hard with this, another option can be pairing them with libromancer, their field spell is a rather perfect match for mitsurugi if you want to tribute your monsters almost none stop
All of this is very on point. I feel like maybe tough this was full on designed by the OCG, with the TCG mainly just asking for more reptiles and rituals. On the bright side, being designed by the OCG means it's probably going to be good and playable.
I think this could be a tier one strategy, especially if they get a field spell revealed, they have a lot of two card starters but a lot of different avenues in which it could be played, I’m excited
7:44 its ANY reptile monster NOT just ritual, essentially making it a monster reborn for any reptile monster if its discarded or sent to gy, given u have a monster on field to tribute/tag out for resolution
The new archetype has so much potential with a lot of searching starters that ritual decks need, however because they are reptiles, ogdoadics are one everyone’s mind which sure; they got 4’s and 8’s but they suck super hard with how specific their playstyle is and combining that with the new rituals, droll, nib and even shifter will kill the whole ogdoadic engine. Basically just wait till their 2nd wave and if they get the same ratios again, the deck will take off right
holy crap, new favorite box, the argostars will be great support for my phantom knights, and i will love building a mitsurugi deck with splashes of ragnaraika or/and reptillianne
Idk why but i feel like Mitsurugi's gonna be Fiendsmith for Ritual decks (an engine), Benten is still at 3 and it searches universal ritual spells, not to mention rites. Ritual decks like Drytron, Voiceless voice gonna have more bodies & interruption for their endboards
Your going to with how many Link effects your going to be using for this deck with the Alien Link support to. Hell, the Odgo stuff doesn't even perma lock you into Reptile if you just get some of the engine of board.
This could be interesting let's hope they don't treat this archetype like some of the other TCG exclusive archetypes where they release a couple of the cards in one set, a couple more in the set after that, and then no more until like five years later
The problem whit reptiles was never that they where not good at combos. They just didn't have good bossmonsters or negates exept zer'oll and ogdoabyss. Finnaly having a card that is an omni negate(the trap) helps them to a good degre.
Snake Rain: Discard 1 card, send 4!!!! Reptile monsters from your deck to the grave. Oh, hello targets for the most broken version of foolish burial in the game.
That ritual spell is low key busted. And I hope they start giving rituals this quality of ritual spell. Summoning/tributing from the deck is exactly what rituals needed. I kinda hate this though because I just bought all Nekroz stuff to get ready for the new support whenever we get it but I really want to try this out when it drops. I don't think it will impact the meta unless it gets good second and third wave support. Hopefully they will get a Miracle Fusion for ritual summoning. Or a level 8 non ritual to facilitate the ritual spell to allow you to use just one material if need be.
But it is perfect. You can send nunu and nauya for the cost of paying the ritual. Or keurse. You can tribute the ritual monsters for the ogdoadic effects and tbey just come back
Oh yeah it’s good alright. There’s a lot of really neat interactions that the two archetypes have that make them a good match. Very excited. I think that these new guys seem to want to be in the hand and Ogdoadics want to be in the graveyard. Would need to see test hands once I’ve got the new cards to add to the deck.
finally a direction for Ogdoadic to go. for so long that deck was just a floodgate turbo deck but now it actually has plays for good reptile monsters. and the extra deck is free to be ragnaraika cards. I hate that it takes 3 different decks to finally make ogdoadic playable.
This ritual theme is gonna be busted… gonna play this if the next wave of support in alliance insight gives them another maindeck monster and a form of protection
Nah this wouldn’t work well with drytrons I think, they need too much engine to function, diviner definitely likes this deck though, especially bc of how easy it is to make level ten and eight synchros
@evanhensley11 but you know we love our little engines with the inside of archetypes. How successful this will be, who knows, but I think it totally is viable. And as a lover of all things drytron, I'm definitely going to do my due diligence.
This deck is looking like a lot of 2 card combos, with some crazy extenders for late game grinds. This is what I hope yugioh goes back into, instead of the absurd single card board builders that we've been getting lately.
Am I off base here or can you just get the raika link 4 into the bin and special it out for protection from hand traps turn 1 in addition to the bonkers rituals?
Yes. And ALSO just start discarding out your opponents hand because they will be throwing shit into their grave to get off their effects and your just going to be mad tributing Reptiles for funny effects.
I'll be honest I'd much rather Konami not print new cards for a year or seriously space out non-reprint sets and just do reprints and new support for the existing card pool, since Tearlament product feels like it drops faster and faster and power creep has cranked to 11 a slowdown year would be great, just mess around with the banlist and focus on making the game as affordable as possible.
I am waiting for second wave before I have any form of hype. These look cool but they don't do enough so far. 1 possible negate and 1 possible board raigeki isn't enough.
"Will it be game-breaking? Nope" I really hope they aren't because I hate when when a new archetype I like gets cards banned for being "broken". I'm still salty about Fiendsmith

Here comes Branded Fusion for Rituals! I'm glad its for an underutilised Type, and coincidentally 2025 is the Year of the Snake!
Please more venom support please
Snake Rain is going to be banned, mark my words
@@covilderagnaros1028that card is SO OP tbh 😂 there just were no good snakes until this point
@@covilderagnaros1028shut up they don’t know
Not sure how the Mitsurugi card will interact with the Ragnaraika cards, but the competitive Reptile pile dream is slowly becoming a reality
Finally me and the other 10 reptile players got something
🙏🙏🙏🙏 Âmen my bro.

And us insect players are patiently waiting in line like 🙇🏾♂️ lol

You can add one more because of this archetype❤

its a common Japanese story that gets used in many Japanese franchises@@Jamrockian- SMT uses it, BlazBlue etc

Snake rain, offering to the snake deity, King of Feral Imps...
reptile has always had potential, but they needed an archetype to fit in.
Nah bro they just needed an OMNI negate or s/t negate there isn't 1 till now
This archetype is so genuinely cool, especially because the ritual monsters don’t need to be ritual summoned to activate their on summon effects.
That part in particular makes them rather interesting to test with the other reptile engine parts
Its good to see Reptiles getting some love. Being the first wave for a tcg exclusive it is looking pre good so far. Hopefully they get some solid support in the 2nd wave. Solid cards so far and nice artwork as well. I also think this will work with a mini Ragnarika engine.
As a reptile AND ritual enjoyer, this new deck make me really happy
snake rain + ogdoadic goes hard with this, another option can be pairing them with libromancer, their field spell is a rather perfect match for mitsurugi if you want to tribute your monsters almost none stop
Snake rain will get banned 😂
"Finally, I knew it was great idea buying out Snake Rain!"
The people who kept buying out Snake Rain for the 17th or so time, probably
I love how Komani is keeping the tradition of supporting lesser non archetypes with Rituals! I can't wait for the rest of the Archetype to drop
I can't wait to see what actual good and creative players do with these. Some of the effects are gas.
Can’t wait to bring my Ogdoadics back. The synergy has a lot of promise!
All of this is very on point. I feel like maybe tough this was full on designed by the OCG, with the TCG mainly just asking for more reptiles and rituals. On the bright side, being designed by the OCG means it's probably going to be good and playable.

7:44 its ANY reptile monster NOT just ritual, essentially making it a monster reborn for any reptile monster if its discarded or sent to gy, given u have a monster on field to tribute/tag out for resolution
Those generic Reptile targeting lines got my trust levels fluttering.
@DirtCheapFU trust me bro reptiles have a literal 2way skill drain booogska, pops thanks yo raika, and finally negates thanks to mitsurugi
Seems like it’s gonna be pretty solid any card that lets you summon from the deck is usually pretty good!!
my only thought is this splashable with the ragnarika reptile monsters?
5:27
All the 3 cards are the monsters itself
4:07 we literally just got mimighoul cali come on man 😂

Hell, this has generic support for Reptiles going forward and the Odga set just got a boost with how it likes tributing stuff to.
Have been wanting a good reptile archetype for a while
Idk why but i feel like Mitsurugi's gonna be Fiendsmith for Ritual decks (an engine), Benten is still at 3 and it searches universal ritual spells, not to mention rites.
Ritual decks like Drytron, Voiceless voice gonna have more bodies & interruption for their endboards
Can’t ragnaraika be used with this?
Yep! It's nice because reptile was the weakest synergy with ragnaraika until now
That was my first thought
The quickplay shows the next ritual monster. Just look at the artwork for the other two cards.
Pretty sure that’s the blue level 4 non ritual.
Its the first level 4 monster
Haggard lizardose is finally gonna beba spicy tech
This stuff has major potential ngl
2:28 u can tribute with gy effects of the higher level ogdodic monsters
The art looks so goooood
If you are looking for synergies, take note of Drytron. They got both ritual and tribute synergies.
I kinda want to somehow mix these with Ragnaraika... mostly just for the theme
You should
Your going to with how many Link effects your going to be using for this deck with the Alien Link support to. Hell, the Odgo stuff doesn't even perma lock you into Reptile if you just get some of the engine of board.
RAISE MY SERPENTINE SIBLINGS!
🎊🐍🎊
Its a great start
Finally, all we need is a real boss monster. This will go great with my alien deck!!! Come check it out
This could be interesting let's hope they don't treat this archetype like some of the other TCG exclusive archetypes where they release a couple of the cards in one set, a couple more in the set after that, and then no more until like five years later
Love the idea of this and ragnaraika
Raika and this deck gose crazy
unfortunatly they don't work with either prep rites, but I am looking forward to these cards maybe shaking up the meta. and of course wave 2 in alin
But a dogmatika engine though.......
@@markwalker2627I been thinking about a Dogmatika engine but don’t know yet how would that work
@OblivionDragma have arc light in the extra deck for maximus to dump to search the rituals along with N'tss or even Garura for a draw
@@markwalker2627Maximus seems bad in today’s meta both malis and ryzeal play extra that love being sent to grave
The problem whit reptiles was never that they where not good at combos. They just didn't have good bossmonsters or negates exept zer'oll and ogdoabyss. Finnaly having a card that is an omni negate(the trap) helps them to a good degre.
Im so happy ogdoadic got support
It’s not support it’s an entire new deck type
Did you like him saying he was so happy that "ogdodic" was correct and then running with that? Lol
Could this work with the Lair of Darkness strategy??
Im fixating on those tribute lines. Those Lv4s might play a role in that board wipe effect.
This deck goes way harder with drytron!
Snake Rain: Discard 1 card, send 4!!!! Reptile monsters from your deck to the grave. Oh, hello targets for the most broken version of foolish burial in the game.
Snake rain doesnt really do anything for Them. None of the Cards do Something If sent to grave
That ritual spell is low key busted. And I hope they start giving rituals this quality of ritual spell. Summoning/tributing from the deck is exactly what rituals needed.

"its broken, but"
Its not broken at all
Could the dogmatika engine work in this
keep in mind. they getting 7 more cards
Dyna Mondo cheesin hard af, VV sweatin n gettin NERRRRRR-VOUS!
Aight im a fan
I think this with Ragnaraika would balance out well and add recursion.😊
Snake Rain buyouts incoming 😂
Snake Rain's CR jumped from 5 bucks to 50 on TCGPlayer. Which is funny.
As an ogdoadic player, I’m super excited for this. The synergy isn’t perfect at all, but it will make reptiles better. Can’t wait
But it is perfect. You can send nunu and nauya for the cost of paying the ritual. Or keurse. You can tribute the ritual monsters for the ogdoadic effects and tbey just come back
The mitama monster summons ogdoadic bosses from grave when your opponent special summons. Once per Chain. Im so hyped
Oh yeah it’s good alright. There’s a lot of really neat interactions that the two archetypes have that make them a good match. Very excited. I think that these new guys seem to want to be in the hand and Ogdoadics want to be in the graveyard. Would need to see test hands once I’ve got the new cards to add to the deck.

No Lair Of Darkness synergy sadly, they got really careful wording these monster effects
The monsters in that archetype work with this new set though
They work well with Ogdoadics because they want to tribute things anyways.
This ritual theme is gonna be busted… gonna play this if the next wave of support in alliance insight gives them another maindeck monster and a form of protection
1 more Endboard piece + 1 more Starter + a Form of protection = the Last Two Points could be solved by a fieldspell 😂
@amoogieztv7815field spell would go crazy
i want the remade evil heros more, Mitsurugi shino going be busted
Drytrons say hi.
Nah this wouldn’t work well with drytrons I think, they need too much engine to function, diviner definitely likes this deck though, especially bc of how easy it is to make level ten and eight synchros

Seeing that cracked ass ritual spell as a vendread enjoyer made me so mad.
Ogdoadic will be tier 1 with this deck
REPTILES LEtS FUCKING GOOOOOO
If only the ritual black luster solider deck got new support.
Please make videos using this archetype
Can this be used with Drytron?
Yes but poor
The adds were not once per turn, you can normal it, search, tribute for a ritual, and search again correct?
they are once per turn. only the revive effect of futsu is not once per turn but once per chain
@M3Jou he didn't say it like that, dang it. Not as broken as I thought
This deck is looking like a lot of 2 card combos, with some crazy extenders for late game grinds. This is what I hope yugioh goes back into, instead of the absurd single card board builders that we've been getting lately.
Snake rain buyout incoming
the deck has strong roots, but not much generic support out there, Ogdoalics are super neggi
So snake rain finally good?
Snake rain has always been good
Does has a bad type for its effect
Am I off base here or can you just get the raika link 4 into the bin and special it out for protection from hand traps turn 1 in addition to the bonkers rituals?
Yes. And ALSO just start discarding out your opponents hand because they will be throwing shit into their grave to get off their effects and your just going to be mad tributing Reptiles for funny effects.
No. You cannot summon a monster from the grave that hasn’t been properly summoned yet.
MORE RITUAL SUPOORT RAHHHH
Hm maybe combine with ragnaraika?!
I'll be honest I'd much rather Konami not print new cards for a year or seriously space out non-reprint sets and just do reprints and new support for the existing card pool, since Tearlament product feels like it drops faster and faster and power creep has cranked to 11 a slowdown year would be great, just mess around with the banlist and focus on making the game as affordable as possible.
Wait so tcg can translate when its ocg cards, but not when its their own cards?!
I am waiting for second wave before I have any form of hype. These look cool but they don't do enough so far. 1 possible negate and 1 possible board raigeki isn't enough.
Hype
Ragnaraika Mitsurugi
ragnaraika
Ragnarakia support
"Will it be game-breaking? Nope" I really hope they aren't because I hate when when a new archetype I like gets cards banned for being "broken". I'm still salty about Fiendsmith
Fiendsmith was just badly designed. They're just asking to get hit.
The have Real Chance to be Good
Ragnaraika anyone?
Ragnaraika
After scamming us with Ashened, I’m not interested in these TCG exclusive cards
How was it a scam? They never said it would be good lol
They had meta potential but Konami messed up the second wave of support but atleast mimighoul was competitive so hopefully these will be viable too
I was hoping for reptilianne support, but I guess this will have to do.
