Joshua Sipes He is not insulting, berating or making fun of anyone for being gay, how is he hitting them at all, let alone hard? Just saying that something reminds you of gay propaganda does nothing of the above, you people should stop desperately searching for stuff to be offendend by...
Placing an entire deck in the spell/trap zone, eh? Man, I can't wait to see what kind of ruling headaches that creates. Like "do they technically count as Xyz materials", "do I still draw from it" and "what the fuck happens if it gets MST'd".
It'd be interesting if the crystal beasts had been made with effects for when they were in the spell/trap zone, and were prototypes of pendulum monsters.
This archetype is protected by nostalgia and nothing more. More than half the deck has nothing going for it, the crystals fill up unnecessary space, their boss monster is stup- *ruby carbuncle jumps on my lap* ....Nevermind.
One change I'd like to see is making Crystal Vanguard and Crystal Protector be treated as Crystal Beast monsters while face-up on the field. This'll give them a lot more use in the new format as they'll effectively function as 2 s/t zone crystals. Also, nostalgia aside, Crystal Beasts have always been my favorite-looking cards. They're just incredibly pleasing to the eye.
seeing as how often the TCG translations backfire on their ass later down the line, i wonder when they wil regret their shitty pun card names like toadally awesome, the grass looks greener, bunny blast etc
I dunno man, Toadally is still a toad monster like half the other support non-frog frog support they get. On a more general level they have gotten better about dealing with it over the years. If any further crystal beast support comes over i fully expect them to just say ultimate crystal god monster and once that happens they reprint rainbow dragon with the text (this is always treated as an ultimate crystal god), Like summoned skull saying it is treated as an archfiend. Also just plain old reprinting the issue away like with harpie's brother becoming sonic warrior or whatever it was called
Crystal Tribrigade and Crystal Pendulum are utterly absurd. Massive pluses, Rainbow Dragon easily summonable, and the combination of Rainbow Ruins' negates, the newly announced Crystal Miracle, Apollousa and Revolt or Time Pendulumgraph is lethal against almost everything else.
here we are 5 years after the video, 4 years after the comment, and now Rainbow Bridge no longer is restricted, you now can search out Violet Crystal in your Crystal Beast deck and it's totally legal in the TCG
Here's ideas on boosting crappy crystal beast monsters: Topaz tiger: while in the spell and trap zone "crystal beast monsters" and rainbow dragon monsters" gain 400 attack and defense. Amethyst cat: while in the spell and trap zone "crystal beast monsters" and rainbow dragon monsters" are unaffected by opponents trap cards. Cobalt eagle: while in the spell and trap zone if you control a "crystal beast monster" or rainbow dragon monster" instead of conducting your normal draw you can add "crystal" spell or trap from your deck to your hand. Emerald tortoise: while in the spell and trap zone if you control a "crystal beast monster" or rainbow dragon monster" during either players turn if your opponent activates a spell card you can send this card to the graveyard to negate and destroy it. Amber elephant: while in the spell and trap zone once per turn: if a "crystal beast monster" inflicts battle damage you can add one "crystal beast monster" to your spell and trap zone from your graveyard.
crystal beasts more like crystal beans haha but seriously draconet neutrality is a serious issue and allowing the VRAINS to give each link monster a different cost is not only immoral it's also a class A offense in some latvian villages sign my petition
It's a shame that the “big bear”archetype never receive any further supports beyond Over The Rainbow，which is a card made only to indicate a lore union between “crystal beasts” and “big bears”. Does this make Over the Rainbow the spell card equivalent of Flamevell Magician？
1:41 It just hit me: the seven Crystal Beasts monsters are actually the colors of the rainbow. Ruby is red, Amber is orange, Topaz is yellow, Turquoise is green, Sapphire is blue, Cobalt is indigo, and Amethyst is violet aka R.O.Y.G.B.I.V. I know, I know, the boss monster is literally Rainbow Dragon, how did I not notice, but in my defense, this archetype is primarily themed around gems and crystals, and with all the gems, minerals, and crystal on 90% of cards, I hope I can be forgiven for not paying too much attention to the colors of the individual monsters.
We... Are the Crystal Beasts. We always brick ya game. And if you think we can't We'll always prove we're lame. That's why the people Of this game Doubt in... Tiger, Pegasus, And Panther... And Carbuncle!
I personally use The Seal of Orichalcos in my Crystal Beast deck. The larger ones become better beatsticks and protects the smaller ones. Only downside is that the fusions are unusable with it.
Reminds me. I'm still waiting for Konami to print the rest of the Orichalcos cards. Hopefully they'll be in the villain based Legendary Duelists. Legacy of the Villains.
It also helps that the Crystal Beasts placing themselves on the backrow makes it look like you are using the anime version of the card. Funnily enough, Rainbow Ruins sort-of has all the anime effects of Orichalcos, minus the Soul thing (altough since defeating anyone within this deck tends to break their spirit and will to live, you can argue it even has that effect as well)
*Dead asleep with girlfriend* My brain: "OH SHIT RATA UPLOADED AGAIN, CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH IT." *Girlfriend turns into The One Whose Shape Was Snatched* What has my life become...
I think konami should make more Superlight Vikings. Like Superlight Viking Win Recker. A normal trap that says "You win the match. You can only activate this card during your opponents main phase 3."
Too broken. Many new cards allow you to do a Main Phase 3 and reset the summon and once per turn restrictions to combat the extreme amount of instakill handtraps that were in the turn designed to stop the constant ZTKs.
YuGiOh already made Archetypes mixing: - Sentai robots and office appliances - Alien invaders and letters of the alphabet - Random animals and airplanes - Kids toys and high-speed racing - Evil demons and freaking _kitchen utensils_
Don't forget: -Kamen Rider and bugs -Animals, ogres, and wrestling -The weather and painters -Predatorial animals and plants -properties from Star Wars and The Wizard of Oz
Let's not forget about Ojamas- which is just "Ah!Real Monsters!" In speedos edition. Dustons- literally Ojama's but in Dirt/Dust form Wind-ups- weaponized toys The whole Water Dragon Arch- how to make friggin water And not to mention Malefics- What if "already existing dragons" but edgy????
I am still holding out hope for a full retrain of them. Maybe include the effect of always being treated as that monster even in the deck. Pegasus and Carbuncle can largely stay as they are but maybe eagle could get the effect of returning things to the hand and granting an additional normal summon. Turtle might negate spell/trap cards in exchange for switching his battle position. Cat might give you a search or graveyard recovery when successfully attacking (also not lose attack while doing so) tiger they could increase the boost from 400 to 1000 and give him effect immunity while attacking. Mammoth they could add that if you have 2 the opponent can't attack and that mammoth is unaffected by all the opponent's card effects that don't destroy it.
“And what the hell is this doing in duel links” No fucking clue why crystal beasts are there in the first place other then because a main character used them seeing as they don’t have enough spell trap slots for the archetype to work properly.
With the recent Structure Deck and the Advanced Crystal Beast finally getting printed, wouldn't be surprised if the next Archetype Archive sequel would be this.

I dunno if you read comments on old videos but, i ran crystal beast in high school. I didn't have every spell/trap but i had one copy of rainbow dragon and gravity. In my school i was ranked as the 3rd strongest from the nuking and focusing on crystal swarming. Now we weren't pros and played the game like a game instead of a 30 chain combo for the first turn. To me, crystal beast and monarchs are my favorite. They both made me a semi-good player and helped me learn that pro playing isn't fun. Playing that game without figuring out how to summon 2 blue eyes or making 3 different link summons.

Despite only having played the game for a few years having bought two starter decks, Sorrcerers Aliance and some vampire deck, and watching the original anime series religiously, I love your content. You have witty humor combined with memes, keeping both in balance. I actually considered started play the game again, I visited my local game shop and then I left running and screaming once I remember how expensive it can get and i saw two guys play half their decks in 3 turns in 10 seconds. I'll keep watching you though, you are funny.
I heavily played crystal beasts before and I can say for a fact they can be force to be reckoned with even without the newer support the only thing I would change was bump power to a yellow everything else is on point
I have a blasted beater decks which rely on killing monsters to operate at peak efficiency, and let me tell you that the fact most of the time they will be sent to the spell zone hard counters my deck. Ticked me off to no end in the recent Duel Links event.
ClayXros There are two monsters that really messes up Crystal Beasts Deck and that is Arkbrave Dragon if summoned from the graveyard as Crystal Beasts are treated as Spell cards in the trap zone and Arkbrave if Summoned from the graveyard banishes all face up spells and traps on your opponents side of the field and it gains a 200 attack boost for all cards banished by its effect and Dragon Spirit of White which banishes traps of spells when summoned.
Cyber Dragon and Crystal Beast -both came out in the GX Erra -both have special mechanics -both receive new support every so often + Cyber Dragons Are now an engine that bring out Big Ass fusions or super strong rank 5’d + Crystal Beast....they got Pendulums (that sucks) and a Fusion
Ah, good to see another video from the grand boss of Trains. Just wondering, ever thought of making an Evilswarm Archetype Archive? They're getting a new Link monster, *_"Steelswarm Origin"_* , and yes, it's basically a Evilswarm Link monster despite the name.
@@asrieldreemurr9968 I think that was covered in the legacy of the almost worthless video. I have had that in the back of my mind ever since that came out
I first discovered you on that 40 minute "yugituber" interview video with the other guy and I was instantly hooked on your accent, and your humor is amazing, also just happened to start playing yugioh again, can't wait to watch everything.
The glorious Weegee emperor I know. I follow him, that's how I found out about it in the first place. Still would like to hear a video addressing it since not all his subscribers follow him.
Ok, hear me out here. What about doing a "Legacy of the Worthless: Where are they now?" You look at archetypes you already reviewed, and see if their newer support or link summoning has lowered or increased their grades.
Technically he does with Support Report, commenting on new additions to the archetypes, he just doesn't say if the 'improvements' altered the grade and by how much
Love your videos. Perfect amount of salt, sarcasm and facts. May I suggest my favorite archetype: HERO's. Maybe make it a small series to cover them all: Judai's Manga deck, anime deck, masked heroes, destiny heroes, and such. Greetings from Colombia!
Kind of wish they made some new main deck Crystal Beasts, over the years, with better effects that followed the play style of being sent to the spell/trap zone upon destruction effect. Additionally, it would be cool if there was some kind of crystal beast contact fusion that required you to shuffle 3 face up crystal beast monsters (from either the monster zone or the spell/trap zone) to the deck, to bring out. This way, rainbow dragon wouldn't be power creeped as how dark paladin wouldn't be power creeped, because with new cards will come more opportunities to use it.
"is it gay if you're being mind controlled by an alien hermaphrodite" it's never gay if you say no homo however I never say no homo, so for me it is very gay and I love it

Rank10YGO asking the real questions.
Only if said Alien Hermaphrodite is gay. Otherwise, it's completely fine.
It's not gay if you say no homo after dueling with them.
Here's ideas on boosting crappy crystal beast monsters:
Topaz tiger: while in the spell and trap zone "crystal beast monsters" and rainbow dragon monsters" gain 400 attack and defense.
Amethyst cat: while in the spell and trap zone "crystal beast monsters" and rainbow dragon monsters" are unaffected by opponents trap cards.
Cobalt eagle: while in the spell and trap zone if you control a "crystal beast monster" or rainbow dragon monster" instead of conducting your normal draw you can add "crystal" spell or trap from your deck to your hand.
Emerald tortoise: while in the spell and trap zone if you control a "crystal beast monster" or rainbow dragon monster" during either players turn if your opponent activates a spell card you can send this card to the graveyard to negate and destroy it.
Amber elephant: while in the spell and trap zone once per turn: if a "crystal beast monster" inflicts battle damage you can add one "crystal beast monster" to your spell and trap zone from your graveyard.

I had fun playing this archetype back in the day
I don't even play yugioh anymore but I just love you videos
Gem-knights next? Cuz you kno, crystals, gems, basically the same thing.
Wish granted
Oh great, time to rev up the legally required Steven Universe jokes.
Great video! Your work is genuinely fun and unique and I'm really glad I found you because your work revived my love for yugioh and it's archetypes.
Despite only having played the game for a few years having bought two starter decks, Sorrcerers Aliance and some vampire deck, and watching the original anime series religiously, I love your content. You have witty humor combined with memes, keeping both in balance. I actually considered started play the game again, I visited my local game shop and then I left running and screaming once I remember how expensive it can get and i saw two guys play half their decks in 3 turns in 10 seconds. I'll keep watching you though, you are funny.
Wondering what would happen if they release a Crystal Beast Link monster
+Slayerthecrow It would probably be a BEAR!
I heavily played crystal beasts before and I can say for a fact they can be force to be reckoned with even without the newer support the only thing I would change was bump power to a yellow everything else is on point
I have a blasted beater decks which rely on killing monsters to operate at peak efficiency, and let me tell you that the fact most of the time they will be sent to the spell zone hard counters my deck. Ticked me off to no end in the recent Duel Links event.
ClayXros There are two monsters that really messes up Crystal Beasts Deck and that is Arkbrave Dragon if summoned from the graveyard as Crystal Beasts are treated as Spell cards in the trap zone and Arkbrave if Summoned from the graveyard banishes all face up spells and traps on your opponents side of the field and it gains a 200 attack boost for all cards banished by its effect and Dragon Spirit of White which banishes traps of spells when summoned.
Wow, this video was actually pretty great. Exceptional background, pacing, and bgm, keep up the great work my man.
Not saving that hidden 'gem' bit for the Gem Knight Archetype Archive was truly truly truly outrageous.
17:31 you're welcome
Can we meme "Big Bears" into existence
Cyber Dragon and Crystal Beast
-both came out in the GX Erra
-both have special mechanics
-both receive new support every so often
+ Cyber Dragons Are now an engine that bring out Big Ass fusions or super strong rank 5’d
+ Crystal Beast....they got Pendulums (that sucks) and a Fusion
I'm glad you kept the thumbnail.
Ah, good to see another video from the grand boss of Trains.
Just wondering, ever thought of making an Evilswarm Archetype Archive? They're getting a new Link monster, *_"Steelswarm Origin"_* , and yes, it's basically a Evilswarm Link monster despite the name.
Isn't "lswarm" the archetype?
@@kingangst233 FINALLY! SOMEONE REMEMBERS THAT THE NAMES AREN'T STEELSWARM AND EVILSWARM, THE WHOLE ARCHETYPE IS 'lswarm'
@@asrieldreemurr9968 I think that was covered in the legacy of the almost worthless video. I have had that in the back of my mind ever since that came out
WHO WANTS TO PLAY WITH ROCKS!?
I first discovered you on that 40 minute "yugituber" interview video with the other guy and I was instantly hooked on your accent, and your humor is amazing, also just happened to start playing yugioh again, can't wait to watch everything.
Every time yugioh makes me feel down I cry tears of joy when rank10ygo uploads an archive ;,) thanks for making me feel better agaib
Svaka cast susjede. Predobar show.
... Sapphire Pegasus isn't a winged-beast? I never realized this because it seemed so obvious.
+ULGROTHA Also Aligator's Sword is a Beast and not a Beast-Warrior.
I love the pure look of disgust on your face at that terrible pun. Made my morning dump better.
Not just ANY big bears but SPECIAL big bears
Can we address Rank11YGO please?
The glorious Weegee emperor I know. I follow him, that's how I found out about it in the first place. Still would like to hear a video addressing it since not all his subscribers follow him.
Well he does seem like the guy who would like R U M
*Insert creative crystal based pun here*
CrazyGingerMan WE.......ARE THE CRYSTAL GEMS!
Your joke is lacking some Luster..
sd sd ruby is more of a garnet than any other tbh
OH MY GOD I think I love you,I waited soooo long for this
You have no idea how long I've waited fr this day AWESOME video
Ok, hear me out here. What about doing a "Legacy of the Worthless: Where are they now?" You look at archetypes you already reviewed, and see if their newer support or link summoning has lowered or increased their grades.
Yeah and some archetypes he didn't review because they were not bad but just mediocre got worse
sounds good to me
Well now he is. It's called Support Report.
Support Report.
Technically he does with Support Report, commenting on new additions to the archetypes, he just doesn't say if the 'improvements' altered the grade and by how much
Wouldn’t be a Rank10 video without being uploaded at 12:30am
Love your videos. Perfect amount of salt, sarcasm and facts. May I suggest my favorite archetype: HERO's. Maybe make it a small series to cover them all: Judai's Manga deck, anime deck, masked heroes, destiny heroes, and such. Greetings from Colombia!
Kind of wish they made some new main deck Crystal Beasts, over the years, with better effects that followed the play style of being sent to the spell/trap zone upon destruction effect.
Additionally, it would be cool if there was some kind of crystal beast contact fusion that required you to shuffle 3 face up crystal beast monsters (from either the monster zone or the spell/trap zone) to the deck, to bring out.
This way, rainbow dragon wouldn't be power creeped as how dark paladin wouldn't be power creeped, because with new cards will come more opportunities to use it.
"is it gay if you're being mind controlled by an alien hermaphrodite"
it's never gay if you say no homo
however I never say no homo, so for me it is very gay and I love it
Looks at clock
Shows 10:30
Gets into bed
Sees Ratta upload a video
SCREW SCHOOL RATTA UPLOADED!!!!!!
Matt blacker 10:30? Damn man you're hardcore!
I believe we're at a +2 for videos this year. Thanks Rata.
I liked how your first suggestion for xyz was gustav max. Train love at peak! Reminds me of how i like bls and heroes
I'm a simple man, I see mention of Kamen Rider and I hit like
we
are the crystal beasts
we'll always save the day
and if you think we can't
we'll always find a way
that's why the monsters
of this world
believe in
ruby
pegasus
and ahhhh...
well that's about it
Ah yes, how could I forget my favourite insect, Kamen Rider Stronger
Nice! Not often we get an archetype with good versatility and consistency👍
This is mostly thanks to the new S/T support
So how long will it take for them to get the support they need as you finally made a video.
Still waiting for Evil HERO btw
It's a long-running gag that HERO will be "RANK10YGO: The Movie ", and you know Rata's conviction to hold onto memes.
killu2later Evil HERO are literally 5 main deck cards and 1 extra deck card, and the other ones are only Evil HERO by name
About as long as it takes for Konami to make Supreme King Hao into a monster.
