In this video, I look back at the infamous Nekroz Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game archetype, and see how this deck dominated Yugioh enough to be considered a tier 0 deck!

After you do all the tier 0 decks, you should make vids about all the decks that won Worlds and why
Stellar Yugioh yeah he should!
Yeeeesss great idea
Aaaa I have been noticed
Blue eyes brick dragon first
Wouldn’t that be about decks that were coincidentally meta at the time of the WCQs, and also could function under the mixed banlists?
It's insane to think that a lot of new players probably think "Oh, that's the DB mascot" when they hear Nekroz. They don't know the pain... _Vietnam flashbacks of Djinn locks and fake gentlemen's agreements_
Side out my Djinn if you side out your Djinn?
yah not so much Trish for me but jin lock I can vantys but that lock was stuiply stong at my shaddolls got super poly now to deal with that deck
I used Djinn with 3x Royal Decree back then, so ss lock with trap lock. Stupid, but it worked wonders
What Chat said probably fits in so well. I destroyed my small country's Yu-Gi-Oh! fan trournaments three years in a row with Nekroz deck before I was banned from participating with it. The next year after that I came back with a chaos dragon deck and immidietly went against a new guy with Nekroz and got utterly destroyed.
@Chat From all strategies i played against in various metas, demise otk with those dumb insects and advanced ritual spell card was the only strategy I would shit my pants if I had to play against it. My very first horror of a deck.
Woah, they made a whole archetype for the Duelingbook mascot?
Lol
Hold on are you saying the art was first on the Duelingbook intro but Konami made the artwork into an actual card?
@@alio6051 Not sure if serious but the comments a joke.
Blackguy61 ??!!!
I remember researching nekroz for the T-0 video and didnt find any events where they took more than even half the top spots. Although that doesn't mean I looked at literally everything so I must have missed the ones that went over 65%. Oopsie poopsie
Ah I see, yeah it happens. YCS Tacoma was the first event with full power nekroz if I'm not mistaken, and it had 22 people play Nekroz.

"Additionally, Ritual Beast were released. Which will be important later on."
>proceeds to not talk about them lol
Ritual beasts were contact fusions not ritual monsters
@@thenightstalker6165
Yes, and?
@@RadiantAeon why mention them as rituals then?
@@thenightstalker6165 because Blade mentioned that they'd be important to Nekroz, because they were a common rogue deck that had the tools to beat Nekroz pretty effectively
@@RadiantAeon bs
Please do a shaddoll deck history 🙏
Bubz Bro, you can already watch one on my channel : )
@@lpjohnn interesting
This!
Shadoll has no future
During Nekroz format, me and my friends were still playing daily at school and I'll never forget how much we couldn't understand when our more competitive friend explained the price of a full Nekroz deck
How much for a full nekroz deck ?
6 S easily 1500-1600 usd
It's crazy to think that Nekroz was tier 0 at the start of my senior year of high school
yah same but I like them jest not there presce a the time
My fav deck of all time
Im actually surprised how you mention the shocking upset wins of Burning Abys and Shaddolls, but not the one of Tellarknights at Worlds that year. And to add, you mentioned that only Qli and BA could keep up with the deck bc of all the backrow, but forgot to mention Tellarknights
The World's banlist is its own format that sets it apart from both the OCG and TCG. Solid win for Tellars, similar to Blue Eyes in 2016, but lots of the top deck contenders were crippled by the World's format. I believe BA couldn't even be played because they were tcg exclusive at the time.
@@mrevilducky true, but Performage Nekroz was pretty much the same for both lists at the time. So in that regards, its still a point
Yeah no that's fair. The only thing is Satellarknight just wasn't as good of an archetype as BA or Qli, so that's why it didn't have enough representation to top even though it played back row. The other thing was I don't count worlds because it's a completely unique format from anything else. It definitely was a deck during that format with some representation.
You should do a history of each banlist update- what got hit on each banlist. Obviously a multi-video project, but I think it would explain a lot of previous formats and why cards are still on the banlist
It’s crazy to think that this notorious deck that reached tier 0 status at a time is nearly at full power now and is barely tier two, if that. All we’re missing are 2 Unicore (which would admittedly help a lot), and 3 Rota that they might not even run. Djin is obv missing too but... he’s never coming back.
Which is hilarious. Djinn wouldn't even be run in modern Nekroz because Archlord Kristya is just straight up better nowadays. Djinn is basically on the banlist for no reason other than Duelist Alliance PTSD.
@@WyvernKnightBright I mean, Djinn could still be used in other stuff tbf. OCG used it in Vendread which accessed it quite easily. I personally used 3 Nekroz cards + Djinn in Yang Zing, Jiaotu + 2 other Yang Zing cards in hand got me Djinn Lock + some other stuff. Now, that was when Djinn was still legal so I'm guessing other decks could do that + a big board nowadays.
@@tinsaus5498 Absolutely it could be used in other stuff. Which would be a great option in TCG rogue. But it wouldn't be meta-breaking. And the fact that the arguable best ritual deck has better options and still doesn't scrape the meta is a testament to the fact it's spot on the list is outdated.
@@WyvernKnightBright Yeah, I suppose the spot is outdated. Though I can understand them being scared of releasing such a card. Seeing how some older cards are so accessible through combo's now.
@@tinsaus5498 Doesn't change the fact that Djinn is a combo that requires at least 3 specific bricky cards, 4 if you ritual for anything above level 3. ;)
Mostly a display of Konami not knowing what to do with half the clutter on the banlist, even if the cards are years past playable.
There is something funny about how the deck that was known for floating for ages and never dying outlasted pretty much every deck from their time, even Nekroz.
BA beste decke : )
You can't go to hell of you're already there :)
#Dante4ever
Nah definitely not ba was the runt satellar knights were way better along with Shaddolls and nekroz
Still waiting for a Nekroz trap
It’s going to be a hand trap fs. Claus will be a Brio.
Nekroz(2015) : *Tier 0*
Also Nekroz(2015): *Doesn't win YCS prague and Burning Abyss wins*
Day 26 of waiting for vendread support.
Also Nekroz(2015): Didn't win WCS 2015 because it got smashed by the banlist before that, and
*Tellarknight won*
Lost count, but I still waiting for new Tellarknight support!
Finally, a deck actually deserving of support in someone’s “Day X of waiting for X Support.”
Liquesmus Lapis Thank YOU
You mentioned how Qli and Burning Abyss were the two main competitors with Nekroz.
Yet out of those three, the only one that sees any sorts of rogue play today is Burning Abyss.
What makes the deck so resilient, even after all these years?
Dante's mill eff being a cost, for starters
Graveyard decks are in general hard to powercreep. In addition, the modern ba support cards are actually good, unlike the one's from Qli for example.
Float float float float float
The old man that would not die.
Because Dante is love. But seriously, like someone already said, GY centric strategies are hard to powercreep. Aside from BA, Shaddolls, Zombies and even Lightsworns are still relevant to this day.
wish I had known you were gonna make this video, I just posted a video a few days ago about the history of duelist alliance era, but left off right before the release of Nekroz. Definitely wouldve been cool to collab on a topic like this
this deck took a lot of skill to play, it got hit too unfairly imo
I do wonna say I don't think nekroz showed the power of ritual monsters, since gishki as I remember was released before nekroz, and they kinda turned the idea of ritual summoning on its head.
With their consistency and hand loops
my first deck, zielgigas turbo
really cool video. Also, for those who said nekroz wasnt T0, when decks start playing cards like mind crush and mistake in the main deck, as well as shared ride at the very release of nekroz, its not for the shaddoll mirror or the BA mirror xD its only for nekroz. So you understand at this point that nekroz was T0. And those cards stayed in the main deck for as long as nekroz was competitive.
I remember just pulling most of the core and I felt so damn lucky. I think the price ended up making it not as high represented.
can't wait to mash nekroz with dragma-balls..
Nekroz in 2015: "Tier 0"
Nekroz in 2020:
TheInternet they aren’t good anymore but they could do something
Plz Konami 3 unicore
Hassan x06 someone heard you
Chris I wished for 3 core 3 faker and 3 harp these decks are my favorite
@@hi-uz6uo Still no Djin, but even with Djin I don't think would make much difference.
Felt you could've added a lot more info on the meta back then and how match ups went. Also going into why Nekroz is not as strong currently ( even with 1 unicore)
We shall return to tier 0 status one day
:( Konami pls more support
Stay Banned
man I miss this format despite the degeneracy it had. Played Ritual Beasts during this and was my first competitive deck to get back into yugioh, and I was happy to hear that it had a good matchup against nekroz due to how their tag mechanic didn't care about Unicores Skill Drain effect. Good memories!
Next vid: Why Dante and the gang never die?
"Dinanzi a me non fuor cose create
se non etterne, e io etterna duro.
Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch’intrate"
"Before me nothing if not eternal things were created, and I last forever. Leave all hope behind, you who enter"
Between the release or Duelist Alliance (BA, Shaddolls, Tellarknights, Yang Zing) until Dimensions of Chaos (Kozmo Dark Destroyer) was a TIME!
Ah my favourite deck of all time. Performage nekroz was my favourite variant with the ridiculous resource games using emeral and trishing your opponent when they’d least expect it. My best game ever using that deck was against a really grindy burning abyss player who in the end conceded to me cuz he had such a fun time playing. Duelist alliance yugioh was my favourite.
Gladiator beast should be considered a Tier 0 by winning 11 events straight
Love how this gets recommended to me when nekroz support is in dL lol
Duelist alliance era was hell to any deck except for shadoll, necroz, BA and Qliphort
Its kinda amazing to think that necroz is powercrept and is pretty much at full power with increadible ritual support yet it cant see any play
Good news guys! Nekroz Unicore is back at 3!!!
Ah, the year I couldn't stand the power creep anymore and stopped playing, good memories.
Then fuck off.
So I recently realized that the nekroz ritual cards were all unbanned/unlimited (barring the ROTA and Djinns obvs) so I decided to build it for the modern format and guys, I think we're sleeping on the ritual deck. It's really consistent still and Unicore+Trish can break the board so stupidly easily it's a nasty deck to face. Dinos sort of blow them up though.
Probably should be pointed out that, Obedience Schooled decks were actually a strong contender in that format, with ROTA at 3 you could free summon Spell Striker from deck and T.G. Striker if going 2nd.
That said a deck full of free summons that could turbo into Nat Beast and Vanitys Fiend together or Majesty's Fiend was gonna be good in that format.
Brings back painful memories going up against Nekroz in DA format and also the other reason why Jinn got banned because of the “gentlemen agreement” it was a mirror and who ever gets Jinn first wins and in siding both of them agreed and the guy didn’t know his opponent had a Jinn in his side so he put it in and won the round.
I'm glad that OCG finally banned djinn this April. Don't want to see Book of Eclipse in side deck anymore.
Unicore + Trish - format with no called by and almost any hand trap = gg
ngl Nekroz format ended up being one of the most enjoyable format to play. Infernoid OTK was extremely sleeper during it and Shaddoll actually faired pretty well into Nekroz after Anoyatilis and the Clown support allowing easy Nat beast
Fav format of all time. Got me into the game shit was so fun
Nekroz artwork reminds me of Naruto and Knights of the Zodiacs.
It was tier 0, but not by an outrageous measure. It’s not like Pepe or dragons or spell books where if you didn’t play it was an auto lose. While BA and satellerknights at least stood a chance
Dragon rulers weren't tier 0 spellbook was the tier 0 deck when they were released so they basically the only deck played when they were together
@@liosan431 I thought neither were tier 0 because they were alive at the same time so it was roughly 50% dragon ruler and 50% spellbook
@@someperson8569 well spellbook were released before dragon rulers so they were tier 0 until the dragon rulers were released
Fingers crossed for Dragma to bring Nekroz back. 🤞
And maybe a unicore unlimit
@@davidcapes1567 IT HAPPENED!!!!
@@mathunit1 I'M SO HAPPY
Something abou that format that i talked with a friedn was that i predicted that Satellarknight wa going to win the WC because that was going to be the only deck that wasnt going to be destroyed by the banlist when the WC happens, and that was what atually happende Satellarknight was untouched, the only card was Reinforcemnt at 1 but they got all of their other cards.
I remember playing lightswoorn dragon rulers , beating nekroz was hard lol
No mention of chad Denko Sekka?
Nekroz: is the Tier 0 of *2015*
Also, *2015* WCS winner: Tellarknight
When will we get new Tellarknight support?...
Sekai Hunter not cool man strealing Jokes :/
Konami is trapped in a time loop. Every time they make a tier 1+ archetype, they hit cards around it to keep it alive and make the most amount of money possible, finally hitting the archetype cards later, and intentionally making other archetypes less playable to prevent this situation happening again, only to fall into the loop again when they announce a new archetype.
I never saw a Bull Blader through that whole format. Who used it?
before I watch the video..I'm going to say opne word... Djinn.
aaah the triangle format of that time, Nekroz, Yosenju, Ritual Beast
Djinn lock that's all there is to it
Is there a particular structure deck(s) you should buy to start a necroz deck? What Booster packs should I focus on?
OMG 5 years ago already... those were the times for me. Duelist Alliance was the best format i've ever played. This Link era doesn't even comes close to it. Now that they "fixed" the Extra Deck dilemma and Pendulums remain nerfed i am looking forward to see more variety of decks ruling the meta again. Shame that Konami always hated Rituals they are a good mechanic and were always around since the beginning of the card game.
Wow perfect timing with duel links
I’m still playing nekroz now. Recently dropped the 3 zaborg for benten, vanity’s ruler and ROTA
Archlord Krystia >>>>>>> Vanity's Ruler
In 2015 it was a tier 0 deck
Now in 2020, the best version is the nekroz dragma deck, actually is very consistant and it has potential.
"You be happy that you didn't play this format". Words to live by.
i did, lost all hope with Yugioh
im sticking to pokemon and vanguard.
Honestly, I think the Duelist Alliance era (or as I like to call it "the big 5 era") was a golden age in this game's history. I would love to see a video on each of those decks, especially, (and this is definitely biased, given it's one of my favorite decks of all time) Tellarknights, the little deck that could.
The fact that the contendors in this format powercrept so much other cards but actually were still interactive in nature (mostly, I know, Djinn Lock etc.) was so cool. Sure Qli could eat you alive with a Vanity's, but it was do-able to get rid of. Facing 6 negates nowadays means you can't even try to get rid of it. Or try to out grind. The game was complex in 2015 but it still allowed for a back-and-forth even with such good cards. Golden age for sure.
Wtf reinforcement was at 3 in nekroz format?! I always thought it was on the banlist since the first banlist
ROTA has been all around the ban list. It was semi-d for a little bit too
One of my favorite decks and also the hardest to play correctly, no matter the year.
And now Nekroz gets great support from Drytron and are getting a new monster that negates monster effects
Blade Imma need a video on my thunder bois it’s obvious our time is up
🙏 praying Colossus comes back one day
One day we will get the Nekroz trap
Hyped to start watching this vid! (After my homework :(
My favourite is the original Nekroz, Kaibaman (he wore a dragon first)
Nekroz best deck baby
I thank necroz for pushing me into Duel links
Love the deck and play it tell this day
You didnt mention the highlander nekroz build that was at worlds cause of the combined ban list
I played during this format but nekroz wasn't teir zero back then
Another BladeYGO video? let's goooooooomakeavideoondarkworldspleaseooooooooooooo
first it was Qliphorts, next it was necroz
I thankfully never played through Nekroz format....but I did start during the PePe format. 😂😂
Shout out to agreeing to side out djinn and siding one in
*single mention of ritual beasts*
Free the bird Konami god fuck
Always love fresh content from our favorite Bald Dragonmaid 🙂 ik people who are still trying to make Nekroz tier 0 again
Gods back when I could play gravekeepers and not lose every game. Necrovally can do a lot. But the game is just to different now for it to keep gravekeepers possible.
Obvious copout, but I remember Hero players experimenting with Djinn Lock. This is a bad build, but an interesting concept
twitter.com/DKBZDarkLAW/status/618995898933080064
yugiohtopdecks.com/deck/5849 Void Ogre deck with Djinn engine in sideboard :0
@darkblazechips Djinn Out. 3 Rota, 2 Knight, 1 Foolish. Obviously would be a better side card.
@@shockz1715 There was a Yang Zing combo back in the day as well. Jiaotu + 2 other Yang Zing cards got you to a Clausolas with Djinn Lock active. I think it required you to run Djinn, Claus & Cycle. Jiaotu got you into Herald to search stuff out and what not. Figured I'd mention this one as you stated a few. ^^
Youre the rhystic studies of yugioh and i love it!
Oh
I
Remember
It was one of the Best Ritual decks in the game !
only got releaser banned now
does it still have potential as rogue ?
This video was recommened to you because you are a duel links Player
Tellars were a huge competitor at the time too, they even won 2015 Worlds (mostly cuz the banlist but w/e). And u forgot to mention the card of the format, used to stop those blue boys, Vanitys Emptiness at 3 so, Tier 0? Nah... they were just very popular, I mean, amazing effects, amazing game mechanics, amazing art, every1 wanted to play Necroz, but that doesn't make them 0 at all...
Don't forget Dance Princess was sometimes ran so that Naturia Beast couldn't negate the activation of the Ritual Spells. My deck at the time (and still is) was Raccoons which could summon Naturia Beast first turn since Upstart was still at 3 so I could hopefully turbo up an Obedience Schooled for an easy Naturia Beast. I hated Necroz format and it honestly made me quit the game altogether.
balde keeps uploading I am happy
Fudge Konami for short printing Nekroz.I mean look at that artwork its Saint Seiya for the Duel Terminal world.
This man has forgot gishki hand loop. Rituals were good before nekroz. Can you do a history of the hand loop?
my favorite deck even tho I don't physically own a single card. the concept of the archetype is just so good.
Tier 0 is a lie, it's obvious that burning abyss was best deck.
What music was used in this video?
Great video for my favorite deck
Bring back Djinn lock! It would be fine now
Evolved Gishkis
It’s obvious this guy did not play that format irl
As a Duel Links player it's funny, because Nekroz is so horrible. Whatever influence it had in the TCG was so impactful that these players just cant accept how horrible it currently is in DL.
