The really old Fusions were just as wonky but with whatever 2 cards they felt like, rather than any 2 anything. Fusions with a named material generally look like a Fusion that involves that card, with Anime HERO being some of the best examples.
@@runningoncylinders3829 oh I agree but at the same time I argue modern fusions are worse in this regard like starving venom for example doesn't look a fusion of anything it just looks like a cool dragon. Wich is fine but I would've preferred modern fusions to look like fusions shekinaga is one of the few modern fusions I can think of that actually looks like a fusion.
@@nightmarearcade2663 It’s worse yet that Starving Venom seems to encapsulate the vibe of a generically strong looking card being considered a Fusion by mechanics, even amidst the other Dimension Dragons that do a bit better job of playing to the motifs of their mechanics. What’s funny is that it seems like we can look back to about Arc-V when Fusion was first starting to break itself into generic summons. Others will say Fusion from Deck broke it, but that’s not on visuals. What drives me up a wall is how much Fluffal was on the right track. Fuzzy toy plus bladed fiend makes a spooky feral toy. They always looked like a combination of something. Even the newer Ancient Gears dipped into some of the Metagross idea of fusing, not unlike the way ABC or the Gate Guardians had been. For some other Arc-V aces as the mechanic approaches being generic it puts out the big bosses as the Fusion, which is mostly true to this day. But stuff like Garura or Guardian Chimera doesn’t sit right. Even if the thing ends up looking like a combination of entities, if it looks nothing like the materials it might as well be a Link or an Xyz instead.
@@runningoncylinders3829 you basically just described what I've tried to tell so many people when fusion summoning is brought up I am so happy to see someone else get where I'm coming from.
Honestly, this feels like the first attempt at a proper Super Sentai reference beyond just fusion monsters that just go together like Gaia the Dragon Champion. Plus, being machines makes that work even further. Especially when we consider generational gaps that fit the theme of crossovers like Super Sentai have done… including combining Zords from different teams together lie Wild Force and Ninja Storm, and in a similar vein: Lost Galaxy with Lightspeed Rescue. (Yes I’m using Power Ranger names with Super Sentai title, but I don’t follow the names for Super Sentai, so forgive me.)
@@EthanKironus8067 remember, I said “first” attempt. You’re right about the Super Quants. There’s also Machina Force, but that’s even worse than Union, and you know what THAT says about the Archetype.
I feel like we should get a Union based Synchro archetype sometime soon. Maybe a tuner that auto equips 1 of their archetypes Union monsters from hand on summon, or lets you synch with monsters that are currently being used as equips.
unions have a tuner actually, torque tune gear. it makes the monster its equipped to a tuner and is a level 1 tuner on its own. I used to use it to summon omega and trishula In ABC
Remembering TGS Anime's video on the A-Z series, I hope Konami one day prints a DEF Monster and is about DEFense. and a JK monster as perhaps some joke
I've always loved these cards, it made me feel like a Lego maniac while dueling since I could mix and match my monsters. Personally I say we need more fusions of the XYZ mons combining with the ABC', heck, let V&W join in on the fusion fun.
I know this video was long enough, but it's worth mentioning that they also played well with the honorary Cyber Dragon, Galaxy Soldier. It was another LIGHT Machine discard outlet that set up Infinity, ergo a way around Nibiru at 4 summons. Plus Union Hanger was used often to attach Photon Orbital as a search option for Galaxy Soldier.
All they have to do is errata Union Carrier to be Union-specific. But no, they'd rather have an easy fix rot on the ban list. Same with Halq, make it Crystron-specific and it can come off the list.
I have played abc exclusively as my primary deck since the day they came out in english. Its gone through various partner engines since then to keep up with the times but is no less fun to pilot. And yes, i do listen to the relevant jackson 5 song whenever i play the deck in Master Duel.
OG Gattai Deck. I had a blast with ABC DPE AFD 60-pile deck last Duelist Cup in MD, so sad that it got powercrept so hard. Edit: Regulus is the must in deck, equip him with any Union in GY then summon said union to extend further.
Hey Nova Loved the video but at 14:38 you said there isn’t a way to cheat out the A-Z Dragon Buster Cannon but hear me out. In Duelist Nexus there was a card Called “Fusion Armament “ which will eliminate the X,Y &Z bricks leaving just the A,B &C monsters. Wondering what you think about that? 😅Anyway keep up the good work 👍
I just realised there are still 18 other letters of the alphabet left, hope they make 18 more monsters to create a army of these things like a j blue get or u drill stead. Plus it would make a A to Z fusion more menissing.
I think the next support for this archetype should be a retrain of the original X,Y,Z, and then fusions and heck let’s throw a Link monster in there too, and errara union carrier to work with union monsters
So there’s a reason I chose this one for my first quasar commander video. My first ever pet deck getting back into yugioh in 2021 was Buster blader… However, nova already covered that video and there hasn’t been any support released outside of rebirth judgment, and even then that was already a tech pick. So about a year or so ago ABC dragon Buster was released from prison at his full power without any form of parole or anything he was a free, machine, I guess… So one day I decided I want to build a deck around ABC dragon buster, so I went to one of my good friends who’s really well known for making ABC and he gave me a basic core and from there I just built a deck that I can use and cater to my play style. I already had a good chunk of the link monsters I use, and it was only a matter of coming up with cards I like to use to facilitate the link and XYZ spam play that I love using for this deck and even after my at the time most powerful deck in Branded got hit on master duel. I still have this beautiful dragon toy in the background ready to wreck lives . So I definitely have a soft spot for ABC dragon buster.
1:21 - I internally shrieked here, speaking as a childhood Bionicle fan who still has his figures and a smattering of extra parts (and Hero Factory, the worst unrelated spinoff sequel, killing the Bionicle lore just when it was getting into the free-roaming territory). THANK YOU FOR THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT! P.S. Did you ever watch the movies or read the Legends books? I couldn't get enough of the latter arcs in the books (RIP Matoro) or Mask of Light (Takanuva is the GOAT). But The Legend Reborn is just the best movie ever. P.P.S. Did you know that a LOT of the words/motifs--such as "Mata Nui"--were ripped from Maori culture/language (if not also other Polynesian cultures)?
Anyone else wonders when are we getting the D - U LIGHT Union Monsters? 15:12 I you squint, you might consider is the D - member 16:39 The son of a gun that should have only been able to be summoned by 2 UNION monsters, yet for some reason is generic
Actually wouldn’t mind if Konami added more support that involved other mechanics. Like DEF could be for links, GHI be Synchro. Just saying. It would be interesting to add more meat to this deck.
Y'know, this archetype was actually one of my favourites (before machina showed up), but its too bad that, even with the newer cards, this archetype just doesn't work well with itself
I hope one day ALL of the A-to-Z archetype unions can make an even bigger robot, since apparently there's no fusion that has all 3 sets, as far as I know

Can we just praise the fact that VWXYZ needs the 2 fusions rather than all five monsters individually.
Imagine the pain of that summoning.
tbf the only thing that does is make monster zones less obnoxious since you usually summon all 5 names at the same time for VWXYZ
Honestly I adore this line up of monsters and the fusions actually look like fusions of different monsters unlike a bunch of modern fusion monsters.

Super Quants are closer to Power Rangers, but I see your point.

unions have a tuner actually, torque tune gear. it makes the monster its equipped to a tuner and is a level 1 tuner on its own. I used to use it to summon omega and trishula In ABC
I LOVE the A to Z dragon buster cannon. Makes me wish we get all the robots from D to U just to make the ultimate mecha combination lol
YEEEESSSS EXACTLY!!!!!!!!
Solidarity brother ✊️
When I read the first half of the title I thought it was a video from the uaw 😂
@@cmw898 A-Z Local 1996 collectively bargains how we make Union Hanger applicable to the normal monsters within the archetype 😉
Regulus works perfectly in ABC. An omni-negate and extender as you can summon any piece after its been equipped to Regulus. It's amazing
You had me at bionicle

Nova is kinda doing my idea for Kaiba Explained (Thunder Dragon, Vampires and now A-to-Z)
I know links are the future, but like... it really feels like A-to-Z would benefit from a Pendulum splash in their archetype
All they have to do is errata Union Carrier to be Union-specific. But no, they'd rather have an easy fix rot on the ban list. Same with Halq, make it Crystron-specific and it can come off the list.

Dude, I’d LOVE to see a Magnet Warrior Video!!!

Edit: Regulus is the must in deck, equip him with any Union in GY then summon said union to extend further.
I really loved how Union Carrier litterally carried the Boxes that the A-Z monsters are stored in in Union Hangar
“The most fearsome bionicles of all time!” Lamo
Hope you do a ancient gear episode soon.
Love the Bionicle reference
I just gotta say I love all your puns. No mater how much of a stretch they may be.
19:50 XYZ Gattai!
**epic Gattai theme plays**
Would running the Ojama cards with the ABCs call the deck OjamA-to-Z?
Omg that would be soooo cool 😎

It'd make sense if both x head cannon and v tiger jet got retrains that are treated as the the original like most of the early harpies.
I see now.. Xyz Dragon cannon has a Destruction effect, ABC Dragon Buster has a Dimension effect and VW has a Gravity like effect.
What's...hilarious...is that Duel Logs just did a video yesterday about Chazz's best cards.
I used to play abc cyber dragon before and I loved it, I kind of want to try building abc again with rev synchron and the therions
I just realised there are still 18 other letters of the alphabet left, hope they make 18 more monsters to create a army of these things like a j blue get or u drill stead. Plus it would make a A to Z fusion more menissing.
A-Z is like a Fortress Cannon that has a Shutdown effect (Effect)
since the big fusions have a big name, i gave each a fitting name: vwxyz as megazord, armed dragon catapult cannon as dragonzord and a-z as ultrazord.
ABC Dragon buster is my Secondary ace of my Buster Blader.
Solidarity forever ✊ brother
I think the next support for this archetype should be a retrain of the original X,Y,Z, and then fusions and heck let’s throw a Link monster in there too, and errara union carrier to work with union monsters
I liked this archetype, especially with the abc such a strong limeup from a starter deck?! Nice
i feel it was a missed opportunity to also give us smaller fusions of abc

We need a “Elmeno-P” Light Machine Fusion monster.
My favorite deck of all time is abc I just wish we’d get support for it

Would love if you did a dragunity archetype video
They should release a model kit of this that we can combine.
Anyone else wonders when are we getting the D - U LIGHT Union Monsters?
15:12 I you squint, you might consider is the D - member
16:39 The son of a gun that should have only been able to be summoned by 2 UNION monsters, yet for some reason is generic
Actually wouldn’t mind if Konami added more support that involved other mechanics. Like DEF could be for links, GHI be Synchro. Just saying. It would be interesting to add more meat to this deck.
You should do Borrels and Rokkets
My fav archetype(?), respect
Could they unban Carrier if they added the word appropriate? Or equip a monster to a valid target or something like that 😅
please do next cyber dragon,ancient gear or cloudian
Anyone else looking at Union Carrier and Union Hangar and getting some serious Sentai vibes?
Especially Carranger and GoGoV.
Union Time with A to Z!
honestly just errata carrier to union monsters and bring it back
I feel like fusion deployment and fusion armament is really strong in this deck i could be wrong tho
Who knows they could add D-V down the road.
Um unfortunately dragon buster destruction sword is unlimited in the TCG I'm unsure about the ocg 18:38
I loved the combination sequences these cards had in the anime. To bad the ABC set never got that love.
Y'know, this archetype was actually one of my favourites (before machina showed up), but its too bad that, even with the newer cards, this archetype just doesn't work well with itself
We know what that means ...
More Ojama 😅
can you talk about nordic archetype please
No Power Rangers jokes?
The A-to-Z monsters might as well be zords and megazords.
BIONICLE MENTIONED!!!!!
Chazz it up
Imagin if they had Super Heavies Mechanics instead of the Union Bullshit
They could have been a actual good Archetype
Instantly proving you know nothing about the archetype eh?
New XYZ!!
Still don't know why they don't call xy cannon dragon, like why do we have to dragon cannons
Shouldn't it be called XYZ Dragon Tank Cannon.
I could have sworn he already did the A-Z Archetype
Probably TGS did a video.
Him and GoldenNova tend to have parallel videos about each Archetype.
I hope one day ALL of the A-to-Z archetype unions can make an even bigger robot, since apparently there's no fusion that has all 3 sets, as far as I know
I know we ask y dragon head but how dragon head is just as important
Also vw tiger catapult is an insult to German engineering
Eww no Zane is Kaiba actually true successor it even stated that somewhere in the manga and even on the Wiki trivia
chazz sucks
It has no sound
I defeated Ra using ABC Dragon Buster, I have the Video on my channel to prove that.
First?
