Just to note some finer points: It's kind of amazing how much each end piece of Floo exists to shut down certain types of summoning. Empen is obviously busted against most Link plays, Dreaming Town and Snowl actually stop most Synchros, XYZs, and Link plays since face-down monsters can't be used for those types of summon. If you happen to be able to get it, Scary Sea as stated can basically turn skip, but it's more side-deck reliant since it only works if the special summon type isn't on a chain. If it did, it'd be far harder to play through Floo. Ironically, one of the oldest forms of Extra Deck summoning is something Floo can't actually stop. Fusions are ruled to not care about whether a card is face-up or face-down, meaning setting materials won't work. Most Fusions occur off a chain, so Stormy Sea can't stop them either, and if someone walks into Empen's effect negation, they're only going to do so once. At that point, you have no reliable way to answer Fusion decks outside of gimmicky lockout options. I will also note that it's funny that Stormwinds was brought up too, because if you're willing to tech Small World in Floo will have reliable access to Pachycephalo, which is far less reliable to search and forces you to go -2 in total but if they're not running strong enough Normal summons or drawing spell or trap-based removal they might as well scoop.
This is a great comment, thanks for sharing! If you don't mind me asking, since you're obviously well acquainted with the deck, could you share a potential decklist? I'd like to build this in Master Duel if possible
When the deck has 6 turn one negates with enough damage on board to probably kill: "Aaww! So cute!" When the deck has a single floodgate: "HELLO? HUMAN RESPURCES?!"
Modern Yu-Gi-Oh: When you play the exact same 10 cards on every turn of every duel: "aww, so cute" When your opponent plays one card for fun: "HELLO, HUMAN RESOURCES?!"
I absolutely adore the Floo archetype. Something about the fact that, despite all the big scary dragons, machines, fiends and warriors that dominate Konami's card design and archetypes that see all the most competitive play, this one group of cute little birds going on an adventure is just there and keeping up with everything to cause problems with tribute summoning. I love it.
@Ty17V I play Lab and I've never lost a duel to Floo. I even beat them with my Dark Magician deck once lol. Not saying DM is better than Floo, btw (I know it isn't), just saying that Floo isn't necessarily that hard to deal with if you're familiar with the deck and its gameplan.
I really like this series because it helps me know what I'm interested in ahead of time so I don't buy something I don't want to play. Something I'd appreciate out if this series going forward is a section at the end explaining what cards would be best to use interaction on such as removal or hand traps.
Hey! Thank you so much for this video, I tried to get into master duel a couple years ago and found it just too overwhelming. I'm used to Yu-Gi-Oh from like 2004-2006. I am still very much a newbie but just found your channel about a week ago and love how informative your videos are. This video is super helpful!
Idk why but for some reason this havebthe same energy as that little girl with the house in fire meme .... Like "You took my toys so i took your life" Energy
OH, this is a new format… Also, Floo being powerful BECAUSE it focuses on the otherwise neglected notion of Normal Summons just shows how far behind the mechanic has fallen for most other decks… It would be cool if you could have a second Normal Summons/Set as a standard option, BUT only for Normal/Gemini and Flip monsters respectively (whom have ALSO fallen off hard outside of VERY specific builds).
@@ashblossomandjoyoussprung.9917 That was why I suggested that they get a free second normal summon… It automatically nullifies their biggest hang up…. The idea is to take the 3 most useless monster typings and turn them into a merit in their own right.
Thank you, for making this contend as a bird player you nailed it and you’re right about needing to know your birds effects and what’s going on in the current format to success.
Snake Eyes or Labyrinth explained - wait until your opponents turn to play half your deck at the beginning of their draw phase, then wait for them to realize youre finally done and then realize it's actually their turn, then win easily.
THIS EXACTLY Edo or md I’m just waiting, and you gotta special summon once so they get the Promethean princess out, than I’m just like ‘you done’? Than I just play through everything and win
I have a Floo deck with Tri-brigades. Knowing full well about the special summoning restrictions but the deck itself actually works if planned correctly and it's surprisingly fun.
A couple other, more niche things Floos can run: Time-Tearing Morganite: This is generally more of an anti-meta deck card, but you can use this to get even more advantage with the extra card during your draw phase. Macro-Cosmos: Floos can abuse the shit out of this. Most decks do NOT like having their cards banished like that, whereas Floos either don't care or even benefit from it since it makes it easier to recycle stuff using Toccan. Earthbound Immortal Asla Piscu: To be fair, Earthbound Immortals themselves are old and kinda obsolete. Asla Piscu is unique among them in that it has pseudo-protection - if the opponent pops it in any way other than by removing Magnificent Map, they nuke themselves - and as a result it's probably the most viable of the Nazca Lines. It's a good way to get in damage if someone decides to make Borrelsword or some other big beatstick that you can't get over, since it has a "can attack directly" effect, plus it can't be attacked. You could probably use Unexplored Winds in the same situation but this gives you another option should you choose to run it. Dark Simorgh: Good going first against decks that like to set things, such as Eldlich (golden road traps) or DM (Eternal Soul).
Wischorla Rasqa (I’m spelling it wrong prolly) Is a good hand rip, but you need to set a bunch of useless cards you can shuffle back in the deck. Requires too much setup and luck imo for a 1-2 card destruction hand rip on average in my experience
TTM means you need to ditch all handtraps. A second normal summon isn't super useful and going +0 next turn means you need to have a good hand already for it to work. It's also terrible going second. Macro is nice, but is also very terrible going second and also minorly fucks with your endboard as you lose out on the city of dreams grave effect. Asla Piscu is more of a brick than anything decent tbh Dark Simorgh is okayish in certain formats, but its brother Simorgh, Bird of Perfection +/- their field spell is even better. Chain blocking your ns Robina when that was your only good opening card? YES. Extra body on the field for more shenanigans? Also yes. Elborz, Sacred Lands of Simorgh. 300 attack/defense buff doesn't seem like much, but suddenly avian and empen are 3k and Raiza is 3100. You get to tribute summon a big bird for one less tribute, AND you can have an extra normal summon because why not. It's basically a mini magnificent map
@@GuardianEnigma yea I have. It's a very good card esp going against SEFK and the like. My floo deck mainly consists of 3 crow, 2 d fis, and 3 shifter for back row hate. We can also cycle 1-2 crows within the first turn provided you don't open exclusively Robina. Turns out having 2-3 crows and a Stri banish by the second turn majorly fucks up any graveyard deck lol
@@thisisit595as a main Simorgh player, all i have to say is PLEASE PLAY THE ARCHETYPE AND DONT GET YET ANOTHER SIMORGH CARD BANNED BECAUSE YALL NITPICK THE SIMORGH CARDS IN YOUR BUILDS UNTIL THEY ARE RIPPED BY THE BANLIST. Thank you.
Please do more of these, me and many other plebs who are interested but not familiar with yugioh need to know how in the hell a group of cute kitty cats or cartoon birds manage to beat the shit out of demonic armies from the depths of hell
Although it's not the most reliable since it's not searchable, I like to use "final attack orders." I always put at least one in the deck because if I happen to draw it, Empen becomes just that more devastating. As now, all monsters are forced to be in attack positions, making all special summoned monsters normal monsters
I remember reading those animal fact files where the Robin one mentioned how they are only chill in the UK (like magpies). Knowing what magpies are like in Australia how are robins outside the UK?
11:55 in another deck dreaming town might not be as good because it doesn’t work on link monsters but in Floo you have to remember that Empen is a hard counter to link monsters and also the searcher that gets you dreaming town, so the two work together very well. Basically you Empen their link monsters, then flip everything else facedown with dreaming town as you summon a Raiza or Apex Avian to deal with any annoying spells/traps. This deck also basically does not care about monster protection other than full on being unaffected. Nothing it does targets or destroys. Now being unaffected is actually a bit hard for it to deal with since Empen reduces attack rather than buffing its own.
I call the 3 bird bosses, the bird version of the egyptian gods 14:28 I knew the deck would be great on its own, but this card was the cherry on top. It was basically Monarchs Stormforth or Exchange but as a continuous card that can also tribute backrow
Just a suggestion for this format: I think it'd be best to start off with an overview of all the relevant cards prior to going into basic combo lines at the start. Other than that, great concept for a video, we need more easy-to-follow deck explainers.
I was actually debating between Kashtira and Floo since I drew 2 D-shifters this month, I am currently waiting for which one would get a pack before picking
Master Duel or TCG? Floo is kinda bad in Master Duel atm because of the banlist, also for both format Kashtira is splashable on many deck as engine, meanwhile you can't do that with Floo, so there you go
Barrier Statue of the Winds being banned is so strange, all the other Barriers still legal and they have 1,000ATK which is super easy to swing over I wonder why Konami banned it
@@ferdyoktav I agree! As soon as they can ash Robina and you don't have a response you're kind of screwed if you can't respond. I was thinking of a bird that can normal summons itself when a bird is negated. It can be normal summoned in defence and it's affects are you can pitch it to normal summon a bird from the deck or search and let you normal summon again. Or something to be spicy is that it can be an omni negeta! I kind of think it would be too broken, but I had fun thinking about it! Also it would be a Canadian Goose!
@@TheSerbzillaI'm not sure if it would fit. But this brings to mind it being a Swan. Basically getting pissed at the opponent doing that and just coming in to stop them lol.
Can you make the most budget deck version for master duel as they’re pack has just dropped making this even more budget to get a hold of instead of crafting cards you later on find you don’t need
I wonder if the white owl in the quick play spell will ever be made? Hopefully a main deck monster with a good effect, to replace any of the non archetype monsters in the deck? I just like playing pure decks a majority of the time
Floowandereeze & Snowl is the card you're looking for ! The perspective of the card is mainly focused on the Terns leaving Snowl, but the card is referring to the Snow Owl !
As much as I hate these birds, I love the video format. Please make this a regular series. Maybe cover another popular deck like Swordsoul or Sky Striker?
genuine question: if this archetype were to get hit on the ban list, what would it be? if I had to guess, they'd limit robina and/or ban/limit empen. now that i've seen like 3 floo vids in the last week i'm guess we'll see a hit, particularly since I just bought a floo deck myself that hasn't even arrived in the mail yet
Realistically the worst bans that can hit the deck is putting map and empen to 1. Map going to 1 nearly forces the deck to commit to the regular normal summon and risk a hand trap, and empen going to 1 limits the options that the deck can make for end boards and extentions. Robina and eglen in all honesty at most would go to 2 since going any further basically kills the deck outright
@@crashlight54 eh?? Floo is strong but we still have Labrynth, snake eye fire kings, purrely, kashtira, and sword soul decks that all can stop a floo deck outright. The deck is full power right now in the TCG and is not seeing as much play since it's halted by a veiler, ash, or an imperm on turn 1, just because floo can have pretty nasty combos doesn't mean it's consistently happening to where the limit is needed. Simply side decking a droll and Locke bird, a kaiju, or even raigeki is enough to counter the deck where it can't really ramp as much as it can. Just because it could be limited does not mean it needs to be.
Mostly I like responding to their first normal summon, had a crazy play sometime when I went CL1 add marincess wave and they went dreaming town. You can guess what happens next ;)
As soon as you activate Robina’s effect, priority passes to your opponent. So that isn’t legal. You’d have to activate Shifter on the draw/standby phase and then you can dodge ash on Robina summon.
I loathe these damn birds so, so much. He didn't even mention that since Floo doesn't special summon they can use Pot of Duality, Extravagance, AND Prosperity, all in the same damn turn if they happen to have them all in the opening hand. Correction, you can't use all three in the same turn since Prosperity locks you out of drawing cards, but it's still dumb Floo can use all three cards in the deck with zero issue.
@@shinobuoshinoisbestgirl5778 I didn't mean in that order. Extravagance has to be the first one you activate, but it doesn't conflict with the other two since they don't draw cards. Correction; you can't use all three in the same turn because Prosperity locks you out of drawing cards.
I'm fine with an archetype that doesn't need to go into its extra deck, but can we please not have the ability to normal summon on your opponent's turn? Or at least have some downside like if it's your opponent's turn, let them draw _three_ cards? It's not loosing to Floo and drowning in bird poo that makes me mad, it's the way I lose.
Is the Perfection-Elborz combo really worth it? You have to give up Magnificent Map to play Elborz, and the effect of Elborz doesn't seem to provide much benefit outside a win-more situation.
Yeah, that's actually a handy use for these videos. For example, you could hambone the birds with Zombie World. I need to study all these new archetypes myself...
This should be a template for subpar summoning methods like Tribute, Flip, and Gemini for example. To make it relevant or consistent, your gameplay should have at least 3 ways to initiate those summons/gain those summons. At least 1 of those being on your opponent's turn. Monarchs have it, True Draco have it, and the more recent Floo has it. ...so Im looking mainly at you older decks, like Steelswarms, Worms, Chemicritter, and the likes. Unless you have multiple ways gaining those summons, especially at least 1 way on your opponent's turn, you will never amount to much regardless of how broken future support becomes or lack of OPTs you have
I love my floo deck ❤❤❤ espacally why they dont use their extra deck i hate extra deck plays. I'm even playing mist valley thunderbird for endless negates with apex avian
When you successfully get your plays off with Floo, you drown in advantage, and your opponent drowns in bird poop.
I'm amazed I haven't gone against it in master duel. I usually get put against a deck that crap all over me.

That's a good way to put it. I can also see how it can get overwhelming for an opponent, like a big flock of birds emerging from nowhere.

Bro i literally just made this deck, thanks
would Neo Spacian Air Hummingbird be a good game 3/time card to throw in?
I love these videos explaining archetypes. Can you do one for Snake Eyes
Fuck that deck
Normal Summon is the new Special summon while special summon is the new Normal summon.
Angry birbs. *quack*
That's my fav. deck.
I know it'll never happen, but I think Floow needs more birds, or some new support! The new quick play is fine, but I'm greedy and want more!
The deck is trash and should be seen as trash
Consistency boost is enough IMO,current Floow monsters already stong af but this deck kinda bricky
Something that like ROTA,Fossil Dig or Bonfire but for Winged Beast generally is enough
@@ferdyoktav I agree! As soon as they can ash Robina and you don't have a response you're kind of screwed if you can't respond. I was thinking of a bird that can normal summons itself when a bird is negated. It can be normal summoned in defence and it's affects are you can pitch it to normal summon a bird from the deck or search and let you normal summon again. Or something to be spicy is that it can be an omni negeta! I kind of think it would be too broken, but I had fun thinking about it! Also it would be a Canadian Goose!
@@TheSerbzillaI'm not sure if it would fit. But this brings to mind it being a Swan. Basically getting pissed at the opponent doing that and just coming in to stop them lol.
These things are why I started picking up rifle lessons
Gonna destroy my friend group with these birds
Normal summon Robina, response?
Nice video but It would be great to have a small section to explain how to contend against this and other decks instead of just how to pilot it
Is there any reason to not run Wiraqocha Rasca to discard from your opponent’s hand? It’s searchable off eglen and seems really strong.
Can you make the most budget deck version for master duel as they’re pack has just dropped making this even more budget to get a hold of instead of crafting cards you later on find you don’t need
Floo experience explained in four words: "You like Normal Summons?"
I wonder if the white owl in the quick play spell will ever be made? Hopefully a main deck monster with a good effect, to replace any of the non archetype monsters in the deck? I just like playing pure decks a majority of the time
Floowandereeze & Snowl is the card you're looking for ! The perspective of the card is mainly focused on the Terns leaving Snowl, but the card is referring to the Snow Owl !
This is getting me to want to play Floo in Master Duel again
MD banlist really pressing down on the birds though. As I understand its very cheap to build?
one of the best parts about Floo is activating Harpie Feather storm after your opponent draws >:]
As much as I hate these birds, I love the video format. Please make this a regular series. Maybe cover another popular deck like Swordsoul or Sky Striker?
genuine question: if this archetype were to get hit on the ban list, what would it be? if I had to guess, they'd limit robina and/or ban/limit empen. now that i've seen like 3 floo vids in the last week i'm guess we'll see a hit, particularly since I just bought a floo deck myself that hasn't even arrived in the mail yet
Take a look at Master Duel - there, Empen and Map are both limited, and other consistency cards are also hit (most pots limited, terraforming banned)
Realistically the worst bans that can hit the deck is putting map and empen to 1. Map going to 1 nearly forces the deck to commit to the regular normal summon and risk a hand trap, and empen going to 1 limits the options that the deck can make for end boards and extentions. Robina and eglen in all honesty at most would go to 2 since going any further basically kills the deck outright
@@mikopoot1486
So they should be down to one, got it
@@crashlight54 eh?? Floo is strong but we still have Labrynth, snake eye fire kings, purrely, kashtira, and sword soul decks that all can stop a floo deck outright. The deck is full power right now in the TCG and is not seeing as much play since it's halted by a veiler, ash, or an imperm on turn 1, just because floo can have pretty nasty combos doesn't mean it's consistently happening to where the limit is needed. Simply side decking a droll and Locke bird, a kaiju, or even raigeki is enough to counter the deck where it can't really ramp as much as it can. Just because it could be limited does not mean it needs to be.
@@mikopoot1486
Is joke
Step 1, enter main phase.
Step 2, normal summon Robina.
Step 3, ???
Step 4, win.
yeah that's cool and all but how do you stop them?
More of these please.
Australia?! Ostriches are from Africa! We have Emus! Floo won our local regionals this weekend in Canberra
Yo, could you do this video format for Virtual world?
I have the cards, but i dont know how to play it
Can you do a video for sharks. This video format of a video is really cool.
I had Floowandereeze built in Master Duel before I went on hiatus. Should I take flight against all this insane newer stuff with the birbs?
Surprised you haven't done one for Snake-Eye yet
Mostly I like responding to their first normal summon, had a crazy play sometime when I went CL1 add marincess wave and they went dreaming town. You can guess what happens next ;)
Wait, Empen only negates the effects of special summoned ATK position monsters?
Superheavy Samurai: _Evil Laugh_
Normal summon Robina, activate effect, and I'll chain shifter. Response?
As soon as you activate Robina’s effect, priority passes to your opponent. So that isn’t legal.
You’d have to activate Shifter on the draw/standby phase and then you can dodge ash on Robina summon.
I loathe these damn birds so, so much. He didn't even mention that since Floo doesn't special summon they can use Pot of Duality, Extravagance, AND Prosperity, all in the same damn turn if they happen to have them all in the opening hand. Correction, you can't use all three in the same turn since Prosperity locks you out of drawing cards, but it's still dumb Floo can use all three cards in the deck with zero issue.
....
Read extrav again
@@shinobuoshinoisbestgirl5778 I didn't mean in that order. Extravagance has to be the first one you activate, but it doesn't conflict with the other two since they don't draw cards. Correction; you can't use all three in the same turn because Prosperity locks you out of drawing cards.
Imagine hating on silly little birds just going on their journey
@@melvinshine9841 Nvm didn’t know that’s how it works
I'm fine with an archetype that doesn't need to go into its extra deck, but can we please not have the ability to normal summon on your opponent's turn? Or at least have some downside like if it's your opponent's turn, let them draw _three_ cards? It's not loosing to Floo and drowning in bird poo that makes me mad, it's the way I lose.
It's ok for Floo to do that, since barrier is gone.
Is the Perfection-Elborz combo really worth it?
You have to give up Magnificent Map to play Elborz, and the effect of Elborz doesn't seem to provide much benefit outside a win-more situation.
Why doesn't Maxx c work i had a guy on the ropes i maxx ced and he went into a 10 card play and i drew no cards it needs a nerf bad
Would love to see an Aroma video
The main flaw of master duel is that i cant choke the enemy opponent after they normal summon robina, a shame really as it is the main counterplay
MY FAVORITE ARCHETYPE OF ALL TIME 🐦🐧🦆🦅
floowandereeze nuts is the best trap card for the archetype
Their weaknesses are now within my knowledge.
Yeah, that's actually a handy use for these videos. For example, you could hambone the birds with Zombie World. I need to study all these new archetypes myself...
is @TheDuellogs Duel log the same person as @TheDuelLogs?
TheDuelLogs please explain how Fire King decks work :()
This should be a template for subpar summoning methods like Tribute, Flip, and Gemini for example. To make it relevant or consistent, your gameplay should have at least 3 ways to initiate those summons/gain those summons. At least 1 of those being on your opponent's turn. Monarchs have it, True Draco have it, and the more recent Floo has it.
...so Im looking mainly at you older decks, like Steelswarms, Worms, Chemicritter, and the likes. Unless you have multiple ways gaining those summons, especially at least 1 way on your opponent's turn, you will never amount to much regardless of how broken future support becomes or lack of OPTs you have
I love my floo deck ❤❤❤ espacally why they dont use their extra deck i hate extra deck plays. I'm even playing mist valley thunderbird for endless negates with apex avian
I fucking love floo my fav deck 😫 toxic gang 😂😂😂
