      Never understood why in the anime when Gozaburo summons Exodia Necross, Kaiba didnt go apeshit that he summoned Exodia

      It would be much easier if it were treated as a Ritual Monster with an alternative Ritual Summon requirement. Contract with Exodia and Exodia Necros would be easier to search. Also it should have been immune to all card effects, not just Spell/Traps. Wasted potential.

    Dark Flare Knight was broken in Reshef of Destruction on GBA! It was a regular effect monster and it activated whenever the card was in the graveyard.

    If Exodia Necross had its anime effects it'd be a much better plan B boss monster for Exodia decks.
    In the anime, Contract with Exodia was a Ritual spell and Necross was a Ritual monster that was explicitly named on it, so you'd be able to use Pre-Preparation of Rites to search them up.
    Then, for each piece of Exodia, as long as it was in your grave, Necross had different protection effects: Head in grave gave it battle destruction immunity, Right Arm let it gain 1000 ATK during damage calc with another monster, Left Arm gave it Monster Effect destruction immunity, Right Leg gave it Trap destruction immunity, and Left Leg gave it Spell destruction immunity. And it didn't require keeping all 5 pieces in the grave to stay on the field; you only needed them there to activate the ritual spell.
    Best part is these aren't even really that broken, since it can still be targetted, negated, and banished as normal, it only boosts up to 2800 in damage calc with monsters, and the pieces in the grave can be sent elsewhere to stop those pieces' effects; so it wouldn't be even remotely hard to out, just a neat plan B for Exodia if the pieces end up in the grave.

    Checkmate was actually pretty useful to me back in the day. Because of two cards. The non effect monster "archfiend soldier" and the "Axe of Despair" one was a decent lvl 4 1900 beat stick, and the other gave terror king a 1000 atk bonus. If your opponent had 6000 or less lifepoints, two checkmates was all it took. I won many a game with this strategy lol
    EDIT: let me clarify for the people taking this way too seriously, I played against friends during lunch in highschool in like, 2010.

      I love the Chess Archfiends and even I'd say that's a stretch. The value I find in the archetype is that it could play 4 Snatch Steals, it has a non-once-per-turn resource engine in its field spell, and a set Terrorking is uniquely punishing to the Goat Format special of 'summon Sangan, attack your facedown'. Checkmate isn't just ultra-specific and niche in use, it's anti-synergistic; Terrorking is at his best when battling to negate recruiters and flip monsters, not when poking life points.

      Because it’s the first new monster type in a while, and a realize MANY archetypes from the past would have been illusionist’s had the type come out sooner (especially with spellcasters and psychics.) So I’m getting on the bandwagon early to try and get some Illusionist monsters custom made. Plus the “illusion” here could come from the fact this card derives its strength and characteristics from its tribute fodder, giving it the “Illusion” that it’s borrowed strength is its own….

    Temple of the Mind's Eye was actually used more for direct attack decks, not really stall decks in Duel Links. They'd use it with cards like SkyStarray (600 ATK) to attack directly which would then banish itself until your next turn, limiting your opponent's ability to deal with the direct attackers while each one deals 1/4 of their LP.
    The original "Chess" Archfiends were actually crazy for their time because of their protection, their cost was really the main thing that held them back. Unfortunately the new "Chess" Archfiends (Emperor, Empress, Giant, etc.) dropped the OG's unique protection. Also people always forget that Skull Archfiend of Lightning, a Summoned Skull retrain, was released in that same set and shares the same effect as the "Chess" Archfiends being easily the best one (only 500 LP cost and negates with die roll of 1, 3 or 6).

    • @nicolaistuhlmuller8718
      @nicolaistuhlmuller8718 Před rokem

      It's less the cost actually and mostly just their garbage stats. Only 4 Archfiends had usable stats, and one of them was a vanilla (5 if you count queen being able to pump herself, but sadly she can't do that on the turn she's summoned). Terrorking also needed you to have another archfiend on the field, which made him far too unreliable despite having a good effect.
      Skull Archfiend would've been nice if it came out earlier, but it came out a few sets after Jinzo, which was already the best high attack tribute monster, dark ruler ha des which was great disruption too and parshat, which was insane utility.

    It's fascinating how Agido wasn't any good in it's original form but it's retrain became part of one of the most infamously broken decks in Yu-Gi-Oh history.
    That might be an interesting topic for a video: Cards that never saw competitive play whose retrains were highly useful.

  • @TheMoribund666

    Did everyone just forget that Pandemonium existed? I almost never had to pay costs for Archfiends, and got tons of free searches. Won a ton of duels with them too, well into the synchro era (and yes against people who actually played for money). Falling Down was an incredible support card, Archfiend's Roar was fantastic for synchro summons, the card effect immunities were great, if they activated even once a duel that was a free card negation for no cost. They are my favorite archtype, they are not nearly as bad as people think.

    you can equip Star bow Ceal to your opponents monster to drop them by 1k, and since its on the field you can summon guardian ceal even if you dont have your own monster for the equip. then you can send the bow you control to the gy to either destroy the monster it was equipped to or another one that might be causing more of an issue.

    They really did Exodia Necross dirty compared to the anime. Extremely nerfed from the Towers it would've been, explodes instead of losing effects for cards not in GY, and it's not even a Ritual monster for what was absolutely a Ritual Spell CONTRACT with Exodia. Not that I blame them, Ritual cards were infamously bad due to their very strict rules back in the day, but good lord.
    Honestly, even if they reworked it for modern day where Contract with Exodia would Advanced Ritual Art all five pieces to the GY, it still loses to Called By The Grave/Ishizu.
