Better Extra Deck? With the exception of the Xyz and Link monsters + Megafleet since it requires a Emz monster and Cyberdark End Dragon He all the other Fusions
One card, I have to say I feel like Aster would run due to theming and for his Diamond Dude to pop up (especially in tandem with Dominance) is Draw of Fate given the incredible normal spell cards of his choosing he can get, but he can activate the card's effect without the requirement of needing to have lower life points than the opponent. I cannot express how fun it is when I added it to my Destiny Hero deck (few Evil and w/e dark attribute monster support).
Wouldn‘t Dangers! be Perfect for Chumley? They are rare and often times dangerous creatures Like most wildlife in Australia, because it doesn’t exist elsewhere. Many people first thought that these animals couldn’t be real just like cryptids. And they life on an island you first have to get to from everywhere else in the world. Yeah there is no Danger! From Australia but I think it could fit with Chumley being kind of able to talk to duel spirits so him collecting cards of animals that might or might not exist really fits for me.
20:54 For my personal preference, he would definitely play Mathmech. They literally reference mathematics + are mechanical based. For a guy with a genius mind, I wouldn’t mind him playing a deck all about addition, subtractions, etc 28:33 Jim Crocodile Cook could combine his Fossil cards with the Adamancipator. The archetype shows characters finding crystallized beasts within diamonds, similar to how Jim Cook finds bones of creatures within rocks. 33:18 Amnael could play a Gren Maju deck, along with Golden Homunculus and the Helios series. The deck is all about banishing cards, so it would definitely work for him
As someone who plays a Fossil/Adamancipator deck I agree. Ngl Im surprised how well these two archtypes fit togetler. Have the girls mill through the deck, summon a bunch of monsters, synchro the boss monsters and use fossil fusion to get out the other monsters
@@thedarknight307 Spot on. I currently play that deck in master duel. I added Kaijus in it, cause if I use the effect of the Water Adamancipator Synchro , I can recover the Kaiju monster on my opponent’s field. Or have it destroyed, so that the Synchro can gain a negate (if it is Gamaciel)/use it as a material for Fossil Fusion.
@@supremeking6694I mainly keep the Water and Wind boss monsters, idk the fire one isnt bad but I just feel the water one with the negate, and returning cards back While the wind has a banishing and monster summoning is way more useful Mainly my version of the deck is about getting the monsters on the field to get out the synchros, fusions and XYZ monsters
@@thedarknight307 Yeah, I also don’t like the Fire Version. I tried it first, but it doesn’t fit well. My Extra Deck usually consists of 3 Xyzs, 5 Synchros, 2 Links and the rest are Fusions
Nah He was a decent and fun support character. He had a beautiful closure without dragging him too long or in terrible and pathetic situations like our boy Bastion
Ogdoadic actually works for Viper perfectly fine, thematically. His core motivation being to revive his son, so a snake-themed deck based around revival of monsters is fitting.
So, after thinking about it, I think that the modern deck Banner/Amnael would use is Eldlich/Golden Land. His original deck in the anime was an Alchemy Beast deck, which obviously all had to do with alchemy and making the Philosopher's Stone. The Golden Land cards were also about the Philosopher's Stone. It also has the whole myth of the city of El Dorado angle, which plays into Banner's love of archeology, myths, and legends.
My second fave deck of all time. Ancient Gear Golem was the first Ultimate Rare I ever pulled in 1st Ed and is my favourite card in my collection by a mile. I have him framed on the wall, much to my wife's annoyance.
When I started playing Master Duel I experimented with some GX-inspired decks and MAN did I hit gold with Ancient Gears. They're easily my favourite deck
22:30 I've had this conversation with someone before and the conclusion i came to was that i think a nice throughline for Chumley would be evolving from the just Koala's and random beasts to take the "Rare animal" concept and make a combo "Danger! Fur Hire" deck so he's got the fluffy critters still going but also the idea of rare animals still part of it and the Fur hire part mostly in Chumley really strikes me as an rpg player and he'd enjoy the furry dnd classes aspect.
If there's been any support for Master of Oz which seemed like his boss monster when he had to face his dad in a duel. Either that or the Des cards in general with a Beast/Beast-Warrior deck theme maybe?
Personally I think nemleria makes some sense, as he is known to sleep a lot and likes food, but it's more grilled cheese than anything else. Of course I could be pulling that info out of my ass since I haven't watched gx in a while.
In Tag Force 3. Blair got a complete overhaul and started playing Lightsworn. So, just make her the Lightsworn user. Since her cards will never be printed.
Bastion could be favourable in this scenario if we're talking spin offs, because in the manga ( which is a spin off timeline, correct me if I'm wrong) he played zombies, and with the new support the zombie archetype/deck has, he could perform really well
Gladiator Beast she only plays in Tag Force 3 Max deck and that's only if you have a banned card in your deck. So, he's both incorrect and correct, just not the way he thought
I mean, obviously it's because only one copy exists of Super Poly in the GX anime. I think multiple copies exist in Arc-V, though that was done to try to make Ultra Poly more impressive.
Darkness could run a Lair of Darkness deck, with Darkest Diabolos as the boss monster and cards like Lillith, Lady of Lament to tribute the opponent's monsters as the cost for their effects. I could see that being what he'd use
Could also have darklords be an option as well given it would fit being the embodiment of darkness using cards that can be like him summoning his generals to do his bidding.
I feel so bad for Vehicroids. I think they were always supposed to be a counterpart to the Elemental Heroes with the specific fusions etc. With just some better suited support, they could’ve been a good match for them.
can you imagine a world where they got just as much support as heros wed be hearing about new cards and people would be like ugh new vehicroid support again
@@vaultboy5492if they got the same support as HEROs I still don't think they'd be any good. Unless you count Speedroids as Vehicroid support everything you could do to support Vehicroids would work SO much better with Speedroids or generic Machines because they'd have to support every card with "roid" or just machines in general. It's the same problem with Predaplant that the best Predaplant support worked SO MUCH BETTER in generic fusion decks than pure Predaplant.
Nahh they deserve the trash support I can't just take syrus or the vehicroids seriously. I mean, just look at them for christ sake. They scream "im a virgin!". If im a yugioh monster, i wont feel threatened by them. Perfect match to syrus' character lol
Fun fact: Legacy of the Duelist as well as Link Evolution gave us duelist challenges where the anime characters had new decks. Some were wildly different, all things considered. First released in July of 2015 and the latest update to Link Evolution in mid-2020, the new decks can be challenging if you obey the F/L lists.
Maybe you could give Chumley a Danger deck. It's not really Australian, but the mix of unassuming and dangerous would be kinda cool for a guy like him.
After GX Season 4, Cyrus started using Cyberdark with the condition that he would have to adapt new strategies to satisfy them. I imagine Cyrus would run many different decks structured around Cyberdark. Mostly dark machines.
Chumley could maybe play a DANGER!? Deck? Bunch of dangerous animal monsters and if he had an Australia deck, a deck filled with murderous criptids could work. Because Australias wildlife is just that wild.
I'm surprised you didn't mention the Yokai zombie monsters that Bastion Misawa used in the GX manga. Those cards include Mezuki, Gozuki, Nine-Tailed Fox, Crow Tengu, Goka the Pyre of Malice, Red Ogre, Daidara-Bocchi, Shutendoji, and Onmoraki. Bastion also used Enma's Judgment and Haunted Shrine in that deck as well. So, instead of a modern Water Dragon theme deck or Chemicritter deck, why can't Bastion use a modern Zombie that centers around the Yokai monsters? Considering that many Zombie decks play cards like Mezuki and Gozuki, it's not that big of a stretch.
Don't forget that cyber angel Idaten's tribute text line doesn't state that the card must be tributed from the field to activate. You can give your cyber angel ritual monsters 1000 extra atk and def by tributing idaten as ritual material as she simply needs to be tributed(literally by any means) in order to trigger and she CANNOT miss timing as this effect reads 'if this card is tributed'. Given that at level 6 she can wipe out most if not all the cost of a cyber angel's ritual summon requirements on her own this could open up some disgusting combinations of card effects including looping idaten for ritual tribute. So a 1000 Atk stronger Benten or Dakini (if combined with a level 2 cyber monster like petit angel or egg angel) could become a terrifying combo machine in this deck.
As a Hero Deck Player, I'm so happy seeing Elemental Hero have aged so well despite being older than me. Love beating my friends and opponents with different heroes every time. I'm never gonna neglect this Hero family. Though even with all the new changes, my ace card and favourite card will always be Shining Flare Wingman
@@SowaraAkther1 yeah now that I'm getting back into yugioh I've built two hero decks one is dedicated to neos and the other flame wingman and there's finally a comic shop close by where I can play it'll feel good to get back into the swing of things although I think I'll play master duel first to get a feel for the new playstyle
Younger than you? I feel so old 😭. I'm all seriousness though I live that there are young YGO fans keeping the game alive and enjoying themselves. I been playing since the first starter decks released in 2002.
13:19 Syrus does inherit the Cyber Darks tho. To make a CyberRoid deck. Then Zane chooses to move on from them. No one really knows if Syrus kept them all or if Zane took some back to build his new path. So that could have helped you along with making a better deck for him.
Why not both? In the anime, he was shown to have a variety of decks so I can definitely see him having both Chemicritters/Gemini and Yokai Zombies as his main decks with Water Dragon Cluster with Duoterion for like 1 fanservice duel.
For the manga vers of Bastion, I think Mayakashi and Shiranui would suit him, then for his anime version... Math-Mech, Deskbots, Chemicritters, and Tindangels.
16:35 My headcanon to this day is that Joey Wheeler gave his Red Eyes Black Dragon to Attitcus when Attitcus was younger, to imspire him to be the best duelist he can be, similar to Yugi giving Winged Kuriboh to inspire and help Jaden
Tania actually used Mai's Amazoness cards in both the anime and the video games, not Gladiator Beasts. The only characters who ever used gladbeasts in the anime were a pair of characters from ARC-V called Battle Beast and Sanders, whose decks focused on Contact Fusions and "Murmillo" + "Gyzarus" removal combos together with "Thumbs Down" and "Gladiator Beast's Great Fortress" to burn his opponent while protecting his monsters with "Gladiator Beast Assault Fort", and a deck that focused on traditional Fusion Summoning with various "Test" monsters to support that strategy, respectively. Tania's true monster spirit form actually looked a lot like a cross between Crystal Beast Topaz Tiger and Amazoness Tiger, oddly enough. Plus she and Bastion are canonically an item.
As mentioned before, Joey would also use a Red-Eyes deck. Joey said Flame Swordsman because he didn't have Red-Eyes at the time as he didn't duel Rex yet. Once he obtained Red-Eyes, Red-Eyes became his partner, even to become Duel Champion alongside Red-Eyes. And as you used manga cards for Jaden and Aster, don't forget the others. Chazz with a dragon deck with key monsters Light End Dragon, Dark End Dragon, and Light and Darkness Dragon. Atticus could use Red-Eyes or he could use his winged-beast deck. Alexis uses an Ice based deck around Tribute Summoning. And so on.
For Chazz , he could have used the chaos dragon (light end dragon, dark end dragon , Light and Darkness Dragon) that used in the manga And for Bastion he could have used the Yokai deck he used in the Manga. And for Alexis she could had the ice counters , I know they haven’t had support , but again it is an option Just stating the option, sorry
I like this series because it scratches an itch that wasn't really scratched by Arc-V despite them trying to do so. Also I'm intrigued on how you're going to do Arc-V, considering the repeat characters who actually play different decks (Kite not playing Photons AT ALL in Arc-V for example)
@@bmwjourdandunngoddess6024 No reason? So we're just gonna ignore the massive production problems the show faced and the skeleton crew they were stripped down to?
Your spiel into Chem Critters was adorable!! Haha I've never heard of them but I like that theme too, Chemical themed decks like Bastion's Hydrogedons I remember always thinking were so cool!!
Ok first off:I don't know why everyone keeps saying that Judai changed Elemental HEROs for Neo Spacians and the went to use the two together, since the very first moment he got Neo Spacians he used them alongside his E-HEROs and he got many victories with his E-HEROs after that point, he even said to Edo that his deck was finally complete, so it's always been a E-HERO/Neo Spacian deck. Also I guess if it was up to me I would cut the Masked HEROs since the anime and manga are very different and just add to Judai's repertoire the Evil HEROs and Yubel cards since he mastered his Gentle Darkness powers and can use them at will alongside his Yubel Powers, representing it by using their cards makes a lot of sense.
@@Deathmare235 I dunno, Neos Wiseman is a thing, and it would signify the eternal bond he and Yubel have, so it would be strange to have him have his darkness mastered with evil heroes but not have Yubel by his side. And I think the Yubel cards would work, probably not all of them, but with the new support TGS mentioned, that new Yubel fusion plus the special summon yubel plus super poly would work pretty well I think. And if evil heroes are in, then malicious bane and fiend would pair with Yubel, though fiend would not be as good as bane.
Realistically, if Jaden were to use modern cards, but also considering his personality, he would be running a low power E-Hero deck due to him preferring to run all his neo-spacians, preferred E-Hero, and some of the new fusions, i think he would hate the 15 card extra deck limit though
Thank you so much for making this video! Im a recently returning yugioh player. Pickled up paper yugioh a month ago cause of phantom nightmare as I really WANTED a yubel deck. Even went to my first locals with it. That said, yugioh Gx lives in my heart rent free and I love everything about it. Great video, solid points and very entartaining and nostalgic. Subscribed! Hopefully more GX content on the way
This is a really good video idea, would love for you to do another video like this for Yugioh 5Ds (cause so many characters have new support...except Luna 😬)
Ultimate Conductor Tyranno basically combines the good elements of every other Tyranno monster while leaving behind the underwhelming parts of those effects: Black Tyranno can attack directly but only when the opponent controls defense position monsters with no backrow/field spells; UCT doesn't have a "direct attack" effect but it forces the opponent's applicable monsters into face-down defense without targeting. Ultimate Tyranno can attack all of your opponents' monsters one time each but it's forced to be the first monster you control to attack - there may be situations where you don't want it to attack first. UCT can attack all opponent's monsters and it's not locked into having to be the first to attack. Super Conductor Tyranno can inflict 1,000 LP damage but you need to tribute a monster you control (itself is an option) and it can't attack when the effect is used. UCT inflicts 1,000 damage when it attacks a defense position monster and sends it to the GY (non-destruction removable). A bit of a stretch admittedly, Tyranno Infinity gains 1,000 ATK for every one of your banished dinosaurs but it's a "?" ATK monster (making it's starting ATK 0) and easily loses the boost if it gets Fiendish Chained or Skill Drained. UCT, while not getting a buff from banished dinos, does require you to banish 2 dinos from the GY to special summon - if one of those banished dinos is Giant Rex (who already starts with 2,000 ATK), it special summons itself and gets a 200 ATK boost for each dino still banished. And screw it, Galaxy Tyranno can special summon itself but requires a "Galaxy" monster to be attacked (Photon monsters which heavily support Galaxy-Eyes do not count for this effect). Then Cyber Dinosaur (which might as well just be a Machine-type "Tyranno" based on how it looks) can special summon itself but only when your opponent special summons a monster. UCT's special summon requirement is easier to do and you don't do it on your opponent's turn.
There would be nuclear fusion ( a polymerisation that relies on the materials levels to produce a fusion with the level equal to the sum of it's materials) and nuclear fission ( which by tributing a high level monster wipes the field, prevents the opponent from using any card zone that previously had a card on there for a turn, and allows you to summon monsters from the graveyard whose levels sum is equal to the monster sacrificed to use this card). And a chemistry deck would rely on levels to function.
I could see Aster pheonix playing some of the other heroes like stratos in his deck because his deck did have a few elemental heroes in including Avion, burstinatrix, Sparksman, and clayman (maybe bubbleman I'm not 100% sure about that one.) After all his original pheonix enforcer was a elemental hero and yet he unnecessary had clayman.
Elemental HERO is my favourite archetype. Sure, Dark Magician is obviously iconic to me, Stardust Dragon is my favourite card, and Bunnila is my duel spirit, but, as a whole, i love the elemental heroes a lot
I like the idea of Chaz playing armed dragon as it's also a homage to his manga deck which was a dragon type deck specialising in getting out high level dragons quickly
Tanya actually played an Amazoness deck that is much more focused. Consider all the fusions and spell support that has gotten. Amnael having a deck that is heavily banished focus I imagine Gren Maju de Aiza as a last trick and also have cards for deck destruction banishment. For Bastion, I honestly think since he's supposedly the most calculating of the cast he would be utilizing the MathMech archetype although it could do with some new mathmech specific support and I am tired of seeing it always paired with the Code Talkers. Jim can also play his Fossil deck alongside the Adamancipators and you could say Jim would be playing a deck themed on Excavation both rare minerals and fossils.
1. Syrus would play a Cyberdark deck. 2. What about Alexis's Manga Ice Counter deck? 3. What about Atticus's Manga Sphere deck? 4. What about Chazz's Manga Light & Darkness deck? 5. Bastion's Yokai deck? A fire Dragon made of Iron & Magnesium. A 3-headed Water Dragon referencing Tritiated Water. A T2-18O spell. 6. Jesse's Insect deck? 7. Axel's Electro deck?
Same as the other video, I think this prompt is more fun when you try to pick out a NEW deck for them that fits their vibe / strategies. Bastion: Mathmech. Easily Mathmech. NERD! Chemicritters aren't bad either. Cyrus: Karakuri / Geargia / Earth Machine Viper: Ogdoadic Bonaparte: Whichever half of the (Infer)noble knights is French Chazz: An engine pile. With Dustons. Chumlee: Gladiator Beast? Melffy? Axel: Burn... Jayden: Six Samurai? See, there are so many options.
Chum Lee I think would play Master of Oz in the deck, it was given to him by Jaden in the anime and holds some sedimental value for him. So maybe a deck based if that.
Evil Heroes are a favorite of mine and as some who likes coming up with ideas for these kinds of things, I have been thinking about what else these guys need to become a viable deck. They are: 1) more in archetype fusion summoning cards. The Castle has definitely been helpful, but they still need cards to help with fusion summoning. They need a dark version of “Fusion Recovery,” a fusion trap, it’s own version of Super Poly, substitution monsters, heck a pendulum monster that can do Trump Witch would be helpful too! Plus ones like the trap-fusion, the pendulum fusion and the super poly can also grant the in-archetype immunity Dark Fusion gives. 2) more main deck support. There is currently no dark version of “Hero Barrier” or “Hero Signal” to help get monsters onto the field quickly. It also lacks means to boost attack and defense outside of the Castle. All way have thus far is Evil Mind (came out with Bane and the Castle, you missed that)! 3) more/better Fusion Monsters. There are 3 different directions this could be taken, either individually or all at once: A) more dark versions of preexisting Heroes. Somehow we have yet to get an Evil version of Shining Flare Wingman, or a dark version of Phoenix Enforcer and its evolved form. Plus, I feel like a dark version of Terra Firma could fit in with this deck. B) furthering the group I like to call the “Evil Omni Heroes,” like Bane and Dark Gaia. Since the traditional Omnis focus on attributes, these guys could focus on types. Some would have predetermined attack and defense while others would have theirs determined the same what Dark Gaia’s is (through the material). It would also fit well with both Super Poly and if they made an archetype exclusive version of the card. C) new original fusions. They could be fusions involving Yubel (she would still try and make herself a part of whatever deck Jayden would play), or fusions that aren’t done in the Elemental Hero archetype like Avian + Clayman or Wildheart + Sparkman or even Avian + Burstinatrix + Clayman + Sparkman + Wildheart! They could also do fusions between 2 or more particular Evil Heroes.
20:14 Thinking about it, the "Bonding" cards (and Water Dragons) work like fusion spells and monsters. 21:04 In Duel Links he actually has some "Chemicritter" cards as level up rewards, and even played them in an event. 22:30 For a Beast deck, maybe "Fur Hire" would be (a little) more fitting.
I feel like Aster would use various subarchetypes of HERO together. But only the DARK ones. Picture in his second duel against Jaden, they both open with monsters like Shadow Mist
Serious missed opportunity to give Darkness a Lair of Darkness deck, it relies on a field spell and disrupting your opponent with traps, similar to how Darkness operated
I hope one day Atticus gets his own archetype styled after the Red-Eyes Darkness monsters. I doubt it'll get announced within the decade, or even the next 5, but my hope'll never die.
From what I remember Bastion didn't have a dedicated theme cause he was a counter player, who structured his deck to fit his opennent. Probably why it was so hard to pick a theme for him.
Happy 20th anniversary GX, one of my favorite shows when I was a teenager and I don’t know why but I’m on a season 3 binge watch lately and I love Rainbow Dragon.
Alexis could also use the Impcantation cards as their good generic ritual support allowing her to get out some easy tribute fader for her ritual spells as well as searching said spells and monsters. Her brother Addicus could run a sort of hybrid build of Red eyes and buster blader. To be honest it’s probably the best he’s got in terms of options.
U could've also allowed Cyrus to use cyber and dark cyber dragons since that was what he got from his brother in the last season he added them to his deck
Feels weird to not note about this for Yubel, but there's even MORE Support that is coming to them after Phantom Nightnare. There's a Field Spell, and a Very Useful Fusion Monster called Phantom of Yubel that just makes the deck so useful.
I saw someone mention Dangers! For chumley and I can agree to it, if not them a mix and match of D.E.S monsters? Just throw in his big koala and master of Oz etc. other bigger beast monster
Chumley could play Zoodiac. Also, the thing of "there are no archetypes for Hasselberry" when what Jurrac exists as does Evolsaur, Dinomorphia & Dinowrestlers.
I agree. Evil HERO needs more supports like some new fusion monsters with Bubbleman as material, alternative cards of Clayman and Wildheart, and new corrupted Evil HERO monster cards
Aster Phoenix uses Elemental Heroes too, he picked up and started using Destiny Heroes on Screen, but previous to that he was THE HERO player, him using E-Heroes at least to supplement, like Stratos, is not out of the picture, since he's done it before. Cyrus inherited the Cyber Legacy from Zane, this includes both CyberDark and Cyber Dragons. Zane quit dueling because of Heart issues.
I think Viper would play Ogdoadic if only because the deck focuses on filling the grave with reptiles to revive them later which fits his ace monster Vennominon perfectly. And he could still play Rise of the Snake Deity and Vennominaga if he wanted to.
@@Observe-h1t Atticus and Joey kinda play divergent versions of red-eyes. Atticus plays a version that represents the potential darkness in ppl and Joey plays the potential strength in himself. With that in mind aliens are a reptile archetype that fits closer to viper with counter control being a part of their mechanic.
@@mr2oxking This is not mine but Viper entire plot that drive him to be villain is to revive his son, so Ogdoadic being his modern deck seems fitting since Ogdoadic revive alot.
Can I say the thumbnail looks amazing. I know it is just a picture of Jaden throughout the seasons but seeing him grow and gain heterochronic eyes seems stunning. He so pretty!
I have a deck meshing Fossil Fusions with Adamancipators that was a lot of fun. It'd be perfect for Jim I think. It's like actual Adamants, not the endless synchro engine that ends on no Adamant cards.
I could see Jaden also slotting in a regular Yubel and a Defender Forever, since their souls are fused. Plus, Defender Forever even resembles Flame Wingman! I could also see Aster having at least *some* Elemental Heroes, since he did use them before he pulled out the Destiny Heroes.
On the subject of Yusuke Fujiwara, a fantastic little combo (that could work much easier in anime than in real life, of course) would be Clear World and RGB Rainbowlution. It's a Continuous Trap that, once per turn, let's you change one monster on the field to have the Machine-type... Oh, and also they gain EVERY ATTRIBUTE aside from Divine. Literally every time they summon something, he can just make it every attribute and force them to reveal their hand, limit attacks if they have multiple monsters, destroy a defense monster, discard a card, take 1,000 burn damage, and pay 500 LP every time they activate a spell. So, yeah, I think that'd be a deliciously malicious combo for the little apocalyptical twit.
Tyranno Hasselberry could play a dinomorphia or transcendosaurus deck as these archetypes could be seen as reflecting the fact that he is a human dinosaur hybrid.
When I saw the title, I immediately thought of Blair playing Lightsworn and it would fit her well or she could play Madolche instead. Also Tanya played Amazoness not the Gladiator Beasts
Bastions magnets were a positive & negative theme according in the dub. That can potentially be a future game mechanic as long as they fit it around a new master rule.
I feel Supreme King would play a combination of Evil Heroes and Yubel cards, rather than having Yubel as a separate character. This would make Supreme King's deck good on both offense and defense.
I'd give Yusuke a Vicious Astraloud Turbo deck the uses Clear New World, Visas Starfrost and his variants to turbo out Astraloud and try to OTK the opponent while playing through multiple negates and hand traps as a blind going second deck with some pretty nasty tech cards to side into going into games 2 and 3.
With Darkness' Zero to Infinity mechanic I could see him using a Pendulum deck, focus in on the similar style of having key cards on the ends of the Spell/Trap Zones. As which cards, there are a few options. The Amorphage archetype feels like it could play into it well, comparing darkness to sin and all; D/Ds might be good but the vast playstyle might not fit him too well. But I think one that could fit him very well is the Qli Archetype. His want to remove individuality can pair quite nicely with the apocalyptic lore and robotic appearance of the Qliphorts Also for Syrus, an easy switch to give him could be the Geargias. Similar aspects of cute robots combining together Power Rangers style while being at least marginally more usable.
I honestly feel like Syrus is the first character in the video who would play a different deck today than he did in GX. So today, what deck has small & cute Earth Machine monsters, but takes a page out of Zane's book by making huge numbers and is able to OTK out the ass? Especially with machine support cards that Syrus already plays, like Limiter Removal? Deskbot! Edit: Viper could just play the Reptile Pile link deck. Alien, Reptillanne and Ogdoadic make a legitimately powerful strategy that can draw 5 cards going first for a pure advantage play, before using 1-for-1 cards to stop your opponent being able to make plays. And that's WITHOUT using smt like Snake Rain
“You-Sue-Key” Fujiwara… 😅 For future reference, in case you cover his duels in a later video, Yusuke is pronounced more akin to something like “Use-Kay”. That said, it's neat to see whose decks would change the most with more modern cards, and I'd say they fit their characters fairly well. Looking forward to seeing how different the decks for the 5Ds cast would be. Keep up the good work 👍
I miss the days when you needed a spell card to get monsters from the fusion deck, and that it was actually called the fusion deck. I do like Synchro plays and I did make plenty of them in gimmick decks for casual play, but I also don't like how thanks to the extra deck mechanics you can just poop out a bunch of tokens and climb into a scary boss monsters. At least in the old days, you had to draw the fusion spell card to bring that boss monster out.
I mean, Neo-Spacians and Gladiator Beasts both existed pre-Synchro and didn't use fusion spells. Cyber Dragons also had contact fusions. Glad Beats were even meta.
@@RoboJay-jq3cu I think it is out of archetype tokens into extra deck that bother me. I never explained about Sky Strikers. I still groan whenever token spam into Link-4 boss happens, especially if those tokens don't come from an in-archetype spell designed to bring out tokens to use as either fuel or matierl for that archetype's other cards.
The Syrus deck was painful. He uses vehicroid/cyber after Zane's retirement. So, he'd be more likely to use Cyber Dragons. It's not impossible or a taboo to consider that 2 people use the same deck.
I remember Chazz played some Union cards that were like bug-themed machines. Too bad they never got printed, I would have enjoyed playing them and seeing how they would fit in with the ABC, VWXYZ cards.
For Viper, there is a version of a Venom deck I goofed with where you used Reptilliane and Ogdoadic together to make Venoninaga a lot smoother (though, I prefer to remove the venom cards for the alien cards)

Zane wouldn't need much change to his deck. Just a better extra deck and the other cyber cards and he'll be fine.
Better Extra Deck? With the exception of the Xyz and Link monsters + Megafleet since it requires a Emz monster and Cyberdark End Dragon
He all the other Fusions
@@spatialawareness5384the XYZ and Link are what op is referring to. You basically said, besides the stuff they need, they don’t need much.
Cyber dragon infinity is the only good card in cyber dragons. I will die on this hill
@@bats-are-just-Puppy-with-wings Sorry, I just used your hill as material for Megafleet Dragon, you'll have to die on the floor :/
Some of the cyber dragons would be good for him like core zwei and so forth
Note: Aster *did* use elemental heroes in his first duel, alongside destiny heroes.
Technically it was in his second on screen duel, when he fought Zane, because his first duel was against Jaden and Aster did NOT use Heroes.
@@JudaiMaverick86I have a Secret Rare Pre Errata Destiny Hero Disk Commander.
@@JudaiMaverick86 You mean when he fought Schmaiden Schmookie?
One card, I have to say I feel like Aster would run due to theming and for his Diamond Dude to pop up (especially in tandem with Dominance) is Draw of Fate given the incredible normal spell cards of his choosing he can get, but he can activate the card's effect without the requirement of needing to have lower life points than the opponent. I cannot express how fun it is when I added it to my Destiny Hero deck (few Evil and w/e dark attribute monster support).

Me: OHHH THAT HURTS!!! DEEPLY INSIDE!!!
That hurts you. What hurts me is that the OG is even older... That's "fades to dust and blows away in the wind" type levels of feeling old there, man.
You know we're just two years away from Yugioh on the whole being THIRTY years old, right?
@@christopherb501 Jesus Christ will you just shut up already with that. I am not over 1/4 Century rares yet.
I literally went "oof" when he said that lol.
Jesus that just reminded me that I'm almost 40 ooh god I cnt deal
Wouldn‘t Dangers! be Perfect for Chumley? They are rare and often times dangerous creatures Like most wildlife in Australia, because it doesn’t exist elsewhere. Many people first thought that these animals couldn’t be real just like cryptids. And they life on an island you first have to get to from everywhere else in the world. Yeah there is no Danger! From Australia but I think it could fit with Chumley being kind of able to talk to duel spirits so him collecting cards of animals that might or might not exist really fits for me.
And maybe give him some dogs cards or brightly ninja card
Or Melffy lmao
melffy is what i thought of. no idea why, but it's the vibe i have for him. maybe he runs it on masterduel, and doesn't tell anybody he runs it, lol
@@Sydrad426 the most popular show it's cute is from Australia
@@esther6138 the most popular show is from Australia you know the one with the talking blue dog
20:54 For my personal preference, he would definitely play Mathmech. They literally reference mathematics + are mechanical based. For a guy with a genius mind, I wouldn’t mind him playing a deck all about addition, subtractions, etc
28:33 Jim Crocodile Cook could combine his Fossil cards with the Adamancipator. The archetype shows characters finding crystallized beasts within diamonds, similar to how Jim Cook finds bones of creatures within rocks.
33:18 Amnael could play a Gren Maju deck, along with Golden Homunculus and the Helios series. The deck is all about banishing cards, so it would definitely work for him
As someone who plays a Fossil/Adamancipator deck I agree. Ngl Im surprised how well these two archtypes fit togetler. Have the girls mill through the deck, summon a bunch of monsters, synchro the boss monsters and use fossil fusion to get out the other monsters
@@thedarknight307 Spot on. I currently play that deck in master duel. I added Kaijus in it, cause if I use the effect of the Water Adamancipator Synchro , I can recover the Kaiju monster on my opponent’s field. Or have it destroyed, so that the Synchro can gain a negate (if it is Gamaciel)/use it as a material for Fossil Fusion.
@@supremeking6694I mainly keep the Water and Wind boss monsters, idk the fire one isnt bad but I just feel the water one with the negate, and returning cards back
While the wind has a banishing and monster summoning is way more useful
Mainly my version of the deck is about getting the monsters on the field to get out the synchros, fusions and XYZ monsters
@@thedarknight307 Yeah, I also don’t like the Fire Version. I tried it first, but it doesn’t fit well.
My Extra Deck usually consists of 3 Xyzs, 5 Synchros, 2 Links and the rest are Fusions
@@supremeking6694 Mine are the fusions, 3 synchros and 3 XYZ
"I don't really know what to give Chumley." feels exactly like a line that was said at least a dozen times in the GX writer's room ngl
It would be so easy to give him an koala deck. they just want a cheerleader for jaden.
Nah
He was a decent and fun support character. He had a beautiful closure without dragging him too long or in terrible and pathetic situations like our boy Bastion
Ogdoadic actually works for Viper perfectly fine, thematically. His core motivation being to revive his son, so a snake-themed deck based around revival of monsters is fitting.
I've recently been gathering the ogdoadics in Duel Links, and they work really well.
They're also coincidentally the best archetype to try to bring out Vennominaga.
So, after thinking about it, I think that the modern deck Banner/Amnael would use is Eldlich/Golden Land. His original deck in the anime was an Alchemy Beast deck, which obviously all had to do with alchemy and making the Philosopher's Stone. The Golden Land cards were also about the Philosopher's Stone. It also has the whole myth of the city of El Dorado angle, which plays into Banner's love of archeology, myths, and legends.
Crowler tho, OH BOY, he'll have a field day with his modern deck as there has been support for Ancient Gears
My second fave deck of all time. Ancient Gear Golem was the first Ultimate Rare I ever pulled in 1st Ed and is my favourite card in my collection by a mile. I have him framed on the wall, much to my wife's annoyance.
all the potential students who couldn't get past him because he pulls out ultimate ancient gear golem turn one : 😭
GET YOUR ELEMENTAL HEROES OUT OF THIS ACADEMY BEFORE YOU GET OTKED WITH AN “ULTIMATE POUNDING”, NANONE!!!
When I started playing Master Duel I experimented with some GX-inspired decks and MAN did I hit gold with Ancient Gears. They're easily my favourite deck
22:30 I've had this conversation with someone before and the conclusion i came to was that i think a nice throughline for Chumley would be evolving from the just Koala's and random beasts to take the "Rare animal" concept and make a combo "Danger! Fur Hire" deck so he's got the fluffy critters still going but also the idea of rare animals still part of it and the Fur hire part mostly in Chumley really strikes me as an rpg player and he'd enjoy the furry dnd classes aspect.
Not fur hire they don’t make too make much sense, dangers make a lot of sense though
If there's been any support for Master of Oz which seemed like his boss monster when he had to face his dad in a duel. Either that or the Des cards in general with a Beast/Beast-Warrior deck theme maybe?
Personally I think nemleria makes some sense, as he is known to sleep a lot and likes food, but it's more grilled cheese than anything else. Of course I could be pulling that info out of my ass since I haven't watched gx in a while.
Maybe an archetype about Drawing because he did go to work for Pegasus?
@@hydrasfang Yeah, like weather painters or something
In Tag Force 3. Blair got a complete overhaul and started playing Lightsworn. So, just make her the Lightsworn user. Since her cards will never be printed.
Yeah, printing her cards would be USELESS. 💀
Love archetype from rush duel says hi
Charmers would be a good fit too
So that's why you get Lightsworns for levelling her up in Duel Links. That really confused me.
Bastion could be favourable in this scenario if we're talking spin offs, because in the manga ( which is a spin off timeline, correct me if I'm wrong) he played zombies, and with the new support the zombie archetype/deck has, he could perform really well
32:34 Tania used the Amazoness Archetype, not the Gladiator Beast Archetype.
I literally searched the comments to see if anyone else pointed that out first lol
I forgot about that. It's kind of ironic because she was the Amazoness Tiger wasn't she?
Gladiator Beast she only plays in Tag Force 3 Max deck and that's only if you have a banned card in your deck.
So, he's both incorrect and correct, just not the way he thought
I was going to say she played amazons I'm a big mia valtine fan so seeing amazons being used in gx was cool
@@soukenmarufwt5224Never actually played any of the Tag Force games.... I think. The Tag Force games are PSP exclusive, right?
Jaden: I run one super poly. It's a dangerous card
Me:(three and many ways to search) what?
Me: i run one too but just becuase i can't qfford more
@@robinvobin9094same haha
I mean, obviously it's because only one copy exists of Super Poly in the GX anime. I think multiple copies exist in Arc-V, though that was done to try to make Ultra Poly more impressive.
@@FruityGroovyI thought only Yuri had super poly
@@robinvobin9094 I too use only one, but that's because of space
Darkness could run a Lair of Darkness deck, with Darkest Diabolos as the boss monster and cards like Lillith, Lady of Lament to tribute the opponent's monsters as the cost for their effects. I could see that being what he'd use
just give him his duel generation deck cause it was rather hard to deal with it
I hope his Darkness deck actually gets made one day.
Could also have darklords be an option as well given it would fit being the embodiment of darkness using cards that can be like him summoning his generals to do his bidding.
Eldlitch 🗿
I feel so bad for Vehicroids. I think they were always supposed to be a counterpart to the Elemental Heroes with the specific fusions etc. With just some better suited support, they could’ve been a good match for them.
can you imagine a world where they got just as much support as heros wed be hearing about new cards and people would be like ugh new vehicroid support again
@@vaultboy5492if they got the same support as HEROs I still don't think they'd be any good.
Unless you count Speedroids as Vehicroid support everything you could do to support Vehicroids would work SO much better with Speedroids or generic Machines because they'd have to support every card with "roid" or just machines in general.
It's the same problem with Predaplant that the best Predaplant support worked SO MUCH BETTER in generic fusion decks than pure Predaplant.
Agreed. This archetype was a bit of disappointment for GX
Nahh they deserve the trash support I can't just take syrus or the vehicroids seriously. I mean, just look at them for christ sake. They scream "im a virgin!". If im a yugioh monster, i wont feel threatened by them. Perfect match to syrus' character lol
@@bluengold3443 ur so right tho lmao
Fun fact: Legacy of the Duelist as well as Link Evolution gave us duelist challenges where the anime characters had new decks. Some were wildly different, all things considered.
First released in July of 2015 and the latest update to Link Evolution in mid-2020, the new decks can be challenging if you obey the F/L lists.
Maybe you could give Chumley a Danger deck. It's not really Australian, but the mix of unassuming and dangerous would be kinda cool for a guy like him.
Tanya played a Amazoness and with the support they’ve gotten, it would fit her perfectly
After GX Season 4, Cyrus started using Cyberdark with the condition that he would have to adapt new strategies to satisfy them.
I imagine Cyrus would run many different decks structured around Cyberdark. Mostly dark machines.
Chumley could maybe play a DANGER!? Deck? Bunch of dangerous animal monsters and if he had an Australia deck, a deck filled with murderous criptids could work. Because Australias wildlife is just that wild.
I'm surprised you didn't mention the Yokai zombie monsters that Bastion Misawa used in the GX manga. Those cards include Mezuki, Gozuki, Nine-Tailed Fox, Crow Tengu, Goka the Pyre of Malice, Red Ogre, Daidara-Bocchi, Shutendoji, and Onmoraki. Bastion also used Enma's Judgment and Haunted Shrine in that deck as well. So, instead of a modern Water Dragon theme deck or Chemicritter deck, why can't Bastion use a modern Zombie that centers around the Yokai monsters? Considering that many Zombie decks play cards like Mezuki and Gozuki, it's not that big of a stretch.
Bastion has like 8 decks so just simply add them in one of his collections.
Don't forget that cyber angel Idaten's tribute text line doesn't state that the card must be tributed from the field to activate. You can give your cyber angel ritual monsters 1000 extra atk and def by tributing idaten as ritual material as she simply needs to be tributed(literally by any means) in order to trigger and she CANNOT miss timing as this effect reads 'if this card is tributed'. Given that at level 6 she can wipe out most if not all the cost of a cyber angel's ritual summon requirements on her own this could open up some disgusting combinations of card effects including looping idaten for ritual tribute. So a 1000 Atk stronger Benten or Dakini (if combined with a level 2 cyber monster like petit angel or egg angel) could become a terrifying combo machine in this deck.
As a Hero Deck Player, I'm so happy seeing Elemental Hero have aged so well despite being older than me. Love beating my friends and opponents with different heroes every time. I'm never gonna neglect this Hero family. Though even with all the new changes, my ace card and favourite card will always be Shining Flare Wingman
I'm getting back to heroes and I'm so happy with all the upgrades I used to get made fun of to hell and back for using them but now😊😊😊
@mriddley Same I loved them for years but got bullied for using them but now they are sick. They had a great glow up
@@SowaraAkther1 yeah now that I'm getting back into yugioh I've built two hero decks one is dedicated to neos and the other flame wingman and there's finally a comic shop close by where I can play it'll feel good to get back into the swing of things although I think I'll play master duel first to get a feel for the new playstyle
As a Hero player myself Cosmo Neos made we wretch and ask is this necessary?!
Younger than you? I feel so old 😭. I'm all seriousness though I live that there are young YGO fans keeping the game alive and enjoying themselves. I been playing since the first starter decks released in 2002.
13:19 Syrus does inherit the Cyber Darks tho. To make a CyberRoid deck. Then Zane chooses to move on from them. No one really knows if Syrus kept them all or if Zane took some back to build his new path. So that could have helped you along with making a better deck for him.
My head cannon is that Syrus run CyDra/Cyberdark while Zane runs Drytrons (since he uses Cyber Eltanin in the manga)
Chumlee could play dangers!? Even though all the monsters are different types it probably could work just my opinion.
Love chemicritters for Bastion
Another good pick would be updating his Yokai deck from the manga
That'd be good, but no matter what deck he plays, there's one card he HAS to have in it, Pikeru.
Why not both? In the anime, he was shown to have a variety of decks so I can definitely see him having both Chemicritters/Gemini and Yokai Zombies as his main decks with Water Dragon Cluster with Duoterion for like 1 fanservice duel.
For the manga vers of Bastion, I think Mayakashi and Shiranui would suit him, then for his anime version... Math-Mech, Deskbots, Chemicritters, and Tindangels.
16:35
My headcanon to this day is that Joey Wheeler gave his Red Eyes Black Dragon to Attitcus when Attitcus was younger, to imspire him to be the best duelist he can be, similar to Yugi giving Winged Kuriboh to inspire and help Jaden
It wouldn't really make sense, since their artworks are different. So it can't be the same card.
Tania actually used Mai's Amazoness cards in both the anime and the video games, not Gladiator Beasts. The only characters who ever used gladbeasts in the anime were a pair of characters from ARC-V called Battle Beast and Sanders, whose decks focused on Contact Fusions and "Murmillo" + "Gyzarus" removal combos together with "Thumbs Down" and "Gladiator Beast's Great Fortress" to burn his opponent while protecting his monsters with "Gladiator Beast Assault Fort", and a deck that focused on traditional Fusion Summoning with various "Test" monsters to support that strategy, respectively. Tania's true monster spirit form actually looked a lot like a cross between Crystal Beast Topaz Tiger and Amazoness Tiger, oddly enough. Plus she and Bastion are canonically an item.
As mentioned before, Joey would also use a Red-Eyes deck. Joey said Flame Swordsman because he didn't have Red-Eyes at the time as he didn't duel Rex yet. Once he obtained Red-Eyes, Red-Eyes became his partner, even to become Duel Champion alongside Red-Eyes. And as you used manga cards for Jaden and Aster, don't forget the others. Chazz with a dragon deck with key monsters Light End Dragon, Dark End Dragon, and Light and Darkness Dragon. Atticus could use Red-Eyes or he could use his winged-beast deck. Alexis uses an Ice based deck around Tribute Summoning. And so on.
He became a duel champion at a time where he only had time wizard to his name.
The rare hunter took red-eyes.
For Chazz , he could have used the chaos dragon (light end dragon, dark end dragon , Light and Darkness Dragon) that used in the manga
And for Bastion he could have used the Yokai deck he used in the Manga.
And for Alexis she could had the ice counters , I know they haven’t had support , but again it is an option
Just stating the option, sorry
I like this series because it scratches an itch that wasn't really scratched by Arc-V despite them trying to do so. Also I'm intrigued on how you're going to do Arc-V, considering the repeat characters who actually play different decks (Kite not playing Photons AT ALL in Arc-V for example)
Arc-V decided to side line them for no reason. 🙄
@@bmwjourdandunngoddess6024
Sideline AND disrespect
@@bmwjourdandunngoddess6024 No reason? So we're just gonna ignore the massive production problems the show faced and the skeleton crew they were stripped down to?
Your spiel into Chem Critters was adorable!! Haha I've never heard of them but I like that theme too,
Chemical themed decks like Bastion's Hydrogedons I remember always thinking were so cool!!
Ok first off:I don't know why everyone keeps saying that Judai changed Elemental HEROs for Neo Spacians and the went to use the two together, since the very first moment he got Neo Spacians he used them alongside his E-HEROs and he got many victories with his E-HEROs after that point, he even said to Edo that his deck was finally complete, so it's always been a E-HERO/Neo Spacian deck.
Also I guess if it was up to me I would cut the Masked HEROs since the anime and manga are very different and just add to Judai's repertoire the Evil HEROs and Yubel cards since he mastered his Gentle Darkness powers and can use them at will alongside his Yubel Powers, representing it by using their cards makes a lot of sense.
So basically, Jaden is broken. 😂
Yubel cards might not work with heroes though, evil heroes are enough
@@Deathmare235 I dunno, Neos Wiseman is a thing, and it would signify the eternal bond he and Yubel have, so it would be strange to have him have his darkness mastered with evil heroes but not have Yubel by his side. And I think the Yubel cards would work, probably not all of them, but with the new support TGS mentioned, that new Yubel fusion plus the special summon yubel plus super poly would work pretty well I think. And if evil heroes are in, then malicious bane and fiend would pair with Yubel, though fiend would not be as good as bane.
Realistically, if Jaden were to use modern cards, but also considering his personality, he would be running a low power E-Hero deck due to him preferring to run all his neo-spacians, preferred E-Hero, and some of the new fusions, i think he would hate the 15 card extra deck limit though
Thank you so much for making this video! Im a recently returning yugioh player. Pickled up paper yugioh a month ago cause of phantom nightmare as I really WANTED a yubel deck. Even went to my first locals with it. That said, yugioh Gx lives in my heart rent free and I love everything about it. Great video, solid points and very entartaining and nostalgic. Subscribed! Hopefully more GX content on the way
This is a really good video idea, would love for you to do another video like this for Yugioh 5Ds (cause so many characters have new support...except Luna 😬)
Ultimate Conductor Tyranno basically combines the good elements of every other Tyranno monster while leaving behind the underwhelming parts of those effects:
Black Tyranno can attack directly but only when the opponent controls defense position monsters with no backrow/field spells; UCT doesn't have a "direct attack" effect but it forces the opponent's applicable monsters into face-down defense without targeting.
Ultimate Tyranno can attack all of your opponents' monsters one time each but it's forced to be the first monster you control to attack - there may be situations where you don't want it to attack first. UCT can attack all opponent's monsters and it's not locked into having to be the first to attack.
Super Conductor Tyranno can inflict 1,000 LP damage but you need to tribute a monster you control (itself is an option) and it can't attack when the effect is used. UCT inflicts 1,000 damage when it attacks a defense position monster and sends it to the GY (non-destruction removable).
A bit of a stretch admittedly, Tyranno Infinity gains 1,000 ATK for every one of your banished dinosaurs but it's a "?" ATK monster (making it's starting ATK 0) and easily loses the boost if it gets Fiendish Chained or Skill Drained. UCT, while not getting a buff from banished dinos, does require you to banish 2 dinos from the GY to special summon - if one of those banished dinos is Giant Rex (who already starts with 2,000 ATK), it special summons itself and gets a 200 ATK boost for each dino still banished.
And screw it, Galaxy Tyranno can special summon itself but requires a "Galaxy" monster to be attacked (Photon monsters which heavily support Galaxy-Eyes do not count for this effect). Then Cyber Dinosaur (which might as well just be a Machine-type "Tyranno" based on how it looks) can special summon itself but only when your opponent special summons a monster. UCT's special summon requirement is easier to do and you don't do it on your opponent's turn.
Cue the Sesame Street music: Venomminon! (Do do do du doo) Venomminon! (Do doo du doo)
Yesssss!!!
Bastion's chemical archetype is just dripping with potential, like imagine a felid spell "Bismuth Pyramid" or a boss monster based on Uranium
There would be nuclear fusion ( a polymerisation that relies on the materials levels to produce a fusion with the level equal to the sum of it's materials) and nuclear fission ( which by tributing a high level monster wipes the field, prevents the opponent from using any card zone that previously had a card on there for a turn, and allows you to summon monsters from the graveyard whose levels sum is equal to the monster sacrificed to use this card). And a chemistry deck would rely on levels to function.
@@sebastianpijov8708the fusion would need to lose atk or become a smaller fusion monster during your standby phase.
Alexis was pretty well of ritual summoning hope there are other cyber girls that can be added for her deck
I could see Aster pheonix playing some of the other heroes like stratos in his deck because his deck did have a few elemental heroes in including Avion, burstinatrix, Sparksman, and clayman (maybe bubbleman I'm not 100% sure about that one.) After all his original pheonix enforcer was a elemental hero and yet he unnecessary had clayman.
Elemental HERO is my favourite archetype. Sure, Dark Magician is obviously iconic to me, Stardust Dragon is my favourite card, and Bunnila is my duel spirit, but, as a whole, i love the elemental heroes a lot
I like the idea of Chaz playing armed dragon as it's also a homage to his manga deck which was a dragon type deck specialising in getting out high level dragons quickly
Tanya actually played an Amazoness deck that is much more focused. Consider all the fusions and spell support that has gotten.
Amnael having a deck that is heavily banished focus I imagine Gren Maju de Aiza as a last trick and also have cards for deck destruction banishment.
For Bastion, I honestly think since he's supposedly the most calculating of the cast he would be utilizing the MathMech archetype although it could do with some new mathmech specific support and I am tired of seeing it always paired with the Code Talkers.
Jim can also play his Fossil deck alongside the Adamancipators and you could say Jim would be playing a deck themed on Excavation both rare minerals and fossils.
1. Syrus would play a Cyberdark deck.
2. What about Alexis's Manga Ice Counter deck?
3. What about Atticus's Manga Sphere deck?
4. What about Chazz's Manga Light & Darkness deck?
5. Bastion's Yokai deck? A fire Dragon made of Iron & Magnesium. A 3-headed Water Dragon referencing Tritiated Water. A T2-18O spell.
6. Jesse's Insect deck?
7. Axel's Electro deck?
Hmmm Atticus I can see him play Simorgh and maybe Floo, Bastion manga deck I think Mayakashi and Shiranui would fit his Youkai deck
I'd like to see you do a rundown on the Chemicritters. They sound interesting from how you got so excited about them
Same as the other video, I think this prompt is more fun when you try to pick out a NEW deck for them that fits their vibe / strategies.
Bastion: Mathmech. Easily Mathmech. NERD! Chemicritters aren't bad either.
Cyrus: Karakuri / Geargia / Earth Machine
Viper: Ogdoadic
Bonaparte: Whichever half of the (Infer)noble knights is French
Chazz: An engine pile. With Dustons.
Chumlee: Gladiator Beast? Melffy?
Axel: Burn...
Jayden: Six Samurai?
See, there are so many options.
Damn that’s a great idea also funnily enough bastion has a chemcritter deck in duel links
Six samurai doesn't really fit jaiden as I feel he would use a fusion themed deck
Chum Lee I think would play Master of Oz in the deck, it was given to him by Jaden in the anime and holds some sedimental value for him. So maybe a deck based if that.
Evil Heroes are a favorite of mine and as some who likes coming up with ideas for these kinds of things, I have been thinking about what else these guys need to become a viable deck. They are:
1) more in archetype fusion summoning cards. The Castle has definitely been helpful, but they still need cards to help with fusion summoning. They need a dark version of “Fusion Recovery,” a fusion trap, it’s own version of Super Poly, substitution monsters, heck a pendulum monster that can do Trump Witch would be helpful too! Plus ones like the trap-fusion, the pendulum fusion and the super poly can also grant the in-archetype immunity Dark Fusion gives.
2) more main deck support. There is currently no dark version of “Hero Barrier” or “Hero Signal” to help get monsters onto the field quickly. It also lacks means to boost attack and defense outside of the Castle. All way have thus far is Evil Mind (came out with Bane and the Castle, you missed that)!
3) more/better Fusion Monsters. There are 3 different directions this could be taken, either individually or all at once:
A) more dark versions of preexisting Heroes. Somehow we have yet to get an Evil version of Shining Flare Wingman, or a dark version of Phoenix Enforcer and its evolved form. Plus, I feel like a dark version of Terra Firma could fit in with this deck.
B) furthering the group I like to call the “Evil Omni Heroes,” like Bane and Dark Gaia. Since the traditional Omnis focus on attributes, these guys could focus on types. Some would have predetermined attack and defense while others would have theirs determined the same what Dark Gaia’s is (through the material). It would also fit well with both Super Poly and if they made an archetype exclusive version of the card.
C) new original fusions. They could be fusions involving Yubel (she would still try and make herself a part of whatever deck Jayden would play), or fusions that aren’t done in the Elemental Hero archetype like Avian + Clayman or Wildheart + Sparkman or even Avian + Burstinatrix + Clayman + Sparkman + Wildheart! They could also do fusions between 2 or more particular Evil Heroes.
What I love about support cards is that their artwork and effects reference other cards.
20:14 Thinking about it, the "Bonding" cards (and Water Dragons) work like fusion spells and monsters.
21:04 In Duel Links he actually has some "Chemicritter" cards as level up rewards, and even played them in an event.
22:30 For a Beast deck, maybe "Fur Hire" would be (a little) more fitting.
Chumley would rock that Branded-Koala deck (yes you read that right) that I saw in Farfa's most recent table 500.
I feel like Aster would use various subarchetypes of HERO together. But only the DARK ones. Picture in his second duel against Jaden, they both open with monsters like Shadow Mist
GX came out 20 years ago? God damn am I getting old
Yes
Grampa tell us about the gx days
You think you're old? I've been around since before the earliest days of the Yu-Gi-Oh anime and trading card game.😅
Serious missed opportunity to give Darkness a Lair of Darkness deck, it relies on a field spell and disrupting your opponent with traps, similar to how Darkness operated
I hope one day Atticus gets his own archetype styled after the Red-Eyes Darkness monsters. I doubt it'll get announced within the decade, or even the next 5, but my hope'll never die.
Nah. Konami will give more support to tearlaments
In the manga Atticus got a Sphere Deck
From what I remember Bastion didn't have a dedicated theme cause he was a counter player, who structured his deck to fit his opennent. Probably why it was so hard to pick a theme for him.
Happy 20th anniversary GX, one of my favorite shows when I was a teenager and I don’t know why but I’m on a season 3 binge watch lately and I love Rainbow Dragon.
Alexis could also use the Impcantation cards as their good generic ritual support allowing her to get out some easy tribute fader for her ritual spells as well as searching said spells and monsters.
Her brother Addicus could run a sort of hybrid build of Red eyes and buster blader. To be honest it’s probably the best he’s got in terms of options.
U could've also allowed Cyrus to use cyber and dark cyber dragons since that was what he got from his brother in the last season he added them to his deck
Feels weird to not note about this for Yubel, but there's even MORE Support that is coming to them after Phantom Nightnare. There's a Field Spell, and a Very Useful Fusion Monster called Phantom of Yubel that just makes the deck so useful.
fun fact, one of ra's support cards makes it apart of the blaze accelerator archtype for some reason
The Japanese name of the Blaze Accelerator archetype is Blaze Cannon and the Japanese name of Ra's Signature move is God Blaze Cannon.
I feel like Chumly should have mellfy archetype for the beast theme and for the pastel painting because of desire to be a industrial illusion artist.
for Syrus I would say that if he just straight up ditch the roids he could do the Machina archetype, Machines that are also vehicles.
Like mechloids (i think that's how it's spelled) or Maybe not FAs
I'd say Gold Pride, it just kinda feels right.
@@Zetact_ But Gold Pride fit much better with any 5ds cast due to it's theme.
I saw someone mention Dangers! For chumley and I can agree to it, if not them a mix and match of D.E.S monsters? Just throw in his big koala and master of Oz etc. other bigger beast monster
Clear World is getting more support soon, bringing the rest of the Clear archetype to the TCG
Chumley could play Zoodiac. Also, the thing of "there are no archetypes for Hasselberry" when what Jurrac exists as does Evolsaur, Dinomorphia & Dinowrestlers.
I agree. Evil HERO needs more supports like some new fusion monsters with Bubbleman as material, alternative cards of Clayman and Wildheart, and new corrupted Evil HERO monster cards
And a better version of Gaia pls.
I would love to see more Evil Hero support, maybe an Evil Hero version of Neos and the Neo-Spacians.
We actually did get to see evil clayman in the anime, I'm not totally sure why they never actually printed it.
@@TheKabuto90 And Wildheart, too. What's interesting about Wildheart is that his bandages and loincloth change from white to black in his evil design.
Can't wait for Evil HERO for Plasma Vice and Shinning Flare Wingman... if Konami would make it 😅
Aster Phoenix uses Elemental Heroes too, he picked up and started using Destiny Heroes on Screen, but previous to that he was THE HERO player, him using E-Heroes at least to supplement, like Stratos, is not out of the picture, since he's done it before.
Cyrus inherited the Cyber Legacy from Zane, this includes both CyberDark and Cyber Dragons. Zane quit dueling because of Heart issues.
I think Viper would play Ogdoadic if only because the deck focuses on filling the grave with reptiles to revive them later which fits his ace monster Vennominon perfectly. And he could still play Rise of the Snake Deity and Vennominaga if he wanted to.
I’d argue ogdoadic would be used by odion since they’re Egyptian themed reptiles
@@mr2oxking why not both? if Joey and Atticus can both run Red-Eyes then I can't see the problem.
@@Observe-h1t Atticus and Joey kinda play divergent versions of red-eyes. Atticus plays a version that represents the potential darkness in ppl and Joey plays the potential strength in himself. With that in mind aliens are a reptile archetype that fits closer to viper with counter control being a part of their mechanic.
@@mr2oxking This is not mine but Viper entire plot that drive him to be villain is to revive his son, so Ogdoadic being his modern deck seems fitting since Ogdoadic revive alot.
I think the "Horus" cards would fit the Pharaoh guy, they even have a Continous Spell card which is a Sarcophagus.
Can I say the thumbnail looks amazing. I know it is just a picture of Jaden throughout the seasons but seeing him grow and gain heterochronic eyes seems stunning. He so pretty!
I have a deck meshing Fossil Fusions with Adamancipators that was a lot of fun. It'd be perfect for Jim I think. It's like actual Adamants, not the endless synchro engine that ends on no Adamant cards.
Chazz did also have his Light and Darkness Dragon deck from the manga. He could use a Chaos Dragon deck nowadays.
I could see Jaden also slotting in a regular Yubel and a Defender Forever, since their souls are fused. Plus, Defender Forever even resembles Flame Wingman!
I could also see Aster having at least *some* Elemental Heroes, since he did use them before he pulled out the Destiny Heroes.
On the subject of Yusuke Fujiwara, a fantastic little combo (that could work much easier in anime than in real life, of course) would be Clear World and RGB Rainbowlution. It's a Continuous Trap that, once per turn, let's you change one monster on the field to have the Machine-type... Oh, and also they gain EVERY ATTRIBUTE aside from Divine. Literally every time they summon something, he can just make it every attribute and force them to reveal their hand, limit attacks if they have multiple monsters, destroy a defense monster, discard a card, take 1,000 burn damage, and pay 500 LP every time they activate a spell.
So, yeah, I think that'd be a deliciously malicious combo for the little apocalyptical twit.
I hope his Clear deck actually gets made one day.
I once had the idea of summoning Elemental Mistress Doriado while Clear World was on the field, just for giggles.
Tyranno Hasselberry could play a dinomorphia or transcendosaurus deck as these archetypes could be seen as reflecting the fact that he is a human dinosaur hybrid.
When I saw the title, I immediately thought of Blair playing Lightsworn and it would fit her well or she could play Madolche instead. Also Tanya played Amazoness not the Gladiator Beasts
Zexal World Duel Carnival has a Madolche player named Sanagi
@@soukenmarufwt5224Yeah I know but I think Blair would play the archetype in the modern day
She could even include some of the Charmer cards to still incorporate that monster stealing mechanic
@@teapartypenguin1353 Yeah maybe she could include the Charmers
Blair also rocked Silent Magician/Warrior in Tag Force 2. I could see her playing that today but I recon Lightsworn is more likely.
Cyrus/Sho got hoed here. He created a Cyber Dragon/vehicroid deck at the end of the series after he inherited his brother’s cards.
Lets be honest bastion would be a meta player. He would be playing fire king snake eyes rn
Bastions magnets were a positive & negative theme according in the dub. That can potentially be a future game mechanic as long as they fit it around a new master rule.
Chumley can play melffy, nimble or, rescue cat
Funny coming back to this now that we got the new Evil Hero support 😂
I think a honourable mention for Chazz would be Light and Darkness dragon. A deck revolving around it would also be a good option.
I feel Supreme King would play a combination of Evil Heroes and Yubel cards, rather than having Yubel as a separate character. This would make Supreme King's deck good on both offense and defense.
Give Chumley a Melffy deck
I was thinking the same thing honestly
I'd give Yusuke a Vicious Astraloud Turbo deck the uses Clear New World, Visas Starfrost and his variants to turbo out Astraloud and try to OTK the opponent while playing through multiple negates and hand traps as a blind going second deck with some pretty nasty tech cards to side into going into games 2 and 3.
20 years ago GX is old enough to have it's first beer
With Darkness' Zero to Infinity mechanic I could see him using a Pendulum deck, focus in on the similar style of having key cards on the ends of the Spell/Trap Zones.
As which cards, there are a few options. The Amorphage archetype feels like it could play into it well, comparing darkness to sin and all; D/Ds might be good but the vast playstyle might not fit him too well.
But I think one that could fit him very well is the Qli Archetype. His want to remove individuality can pair quite nicely with the apocalyptic lore and robotic appearance of the Qliphorts
Also for Syrus, an easy switch to give him could be the Geargias. Similar aspects of cute robots combining together Power Rangers style while being at least marginally more usable.
I always felt bad for Cyrus. Poor kid came down with a bad case of Roids.
New Evil Hero support goes crazy!
Couldmt bastion play mathmech?
Geaneas
That's what I was thinking
I honestly feel like Syrus is the first character in the video who would play a different deck today than he did in GX. So today, what deck has small & cute Earth Machine monsters, but takes a page out of Zane's book by making huge numbers and is able to OTK out the ass? Especially with machine support cards that Syrus already plays, like Limiter Removal? Deskbot!
Edit: Viper could just play the Reptile Pile link deck. Alien, Reptillanne and Ogdoadic make a legitimately powerful strategy that can draw 5 cards going first for a pure advantage play, before using 1-for-1 cards to stop your opponent being able to make plays. And that's WITHOUT using smt like Snake Rain
Whatever the deck Jaden plays, he’s always going to get absolutely obliterated by Yusei every single time.
“You-Sue-Key” Fujiwara… 😅
For future reference, in case you cover his duels in a later video, Yusuke is pronounced more akin to something like “Use-Kay”.
That said, it's neat to see whose decks would change the most with more modern cards, and I'd say they fit their characters fairly well. Looking forward to seeing how different the decks for the 5Ds cast would be. Keep up the good work 👍
I miss the days when you needed a spell card to get monsters from the fusion deck, and that it was actually called the fusion deck. I do like Synchro plays and I did make plenty of them in gimmick decks for casual play, but I also don't like how thanks to the extra deck mechanics you can just poop out a bunch of tokens and climb into a scary boss monsters. At least in the old days, you had to draw the fusion spell card to bring that boss monster out.
I mean, Neo-Spacians and Gladiator Beasts both existed pre-Synchro and didn't use fusion spells. Cyber Dragons also had contact fusions. Glad Beats were even meta.
@@RoboJay-jq3cu I think it is out of archetype tokens into extra deck that bother me. I never explained about Sky Strikers. I still groan whenever token spam into Link-4 boss happens, especially if those tokens don't come from an in-archetype spell designed to bring out tokens to use as either fuel or matierl for that archetype's other cards.
The Syrus deck was painful. He uses vehicroid/cyber after Zane's retirement. So, he'd be more likely to use Cyber Dragons. It's not impossible or a taboo to consider that 2 people use the same deck.
2:10 But, the evil heroes are technically his. Granted, they’re corrupt versions of the elementals, but still.
I guess it’s cause they were in the anime and he didn’t use them but he should’ve
I remember Chazz played some Union cards that were like bug-themed machines. Too bad they never got printed, I would have enjoyed playing them and seeing how they would fit in with the ABC, VWXYZ cards.
24:22 ZA WURDO!! Love the reference ;)
For Viper, there is a version of a Venom deck I goofed with where you used Reptilliane and Ogdoadic together to make Venoninaga a lot smoother (though, I prefer to remove the venom cards for the alien cards)
