    • @spyro2002
      @spyro2002 Před 2 lety +2

      Not really. Adamancipators don't actually utilize the excavate mechanic for them it's merely a restriction for their bonkers tuners, if they could remove the excavation from them and change nothing else they would only be better for it and their playstyle would be the same. For Sylvans on the other hand, excavation is integral to how the deck works, you could not simply "remove it".

      @@spyro2002if you removed excavation then they literally couldn’t work because that’s not a restriction it’s their main mechanic for why they’re so good. Both of their excavations are integral and can’t be removed.

    Hermitree’s design is really interesting to me: I don’t know what it’s called, but that rope and tassels around the trunk of Hermitree is from Shintoism and denotes a place or object that is sacred or blessed. However, in media, these ropes also act as a sort of repellent for evil spirits and things like rocks and trees that are believed to house evil spirits will have one tied around them to keep the spirit at bay.
    So, either Hermitree has one because its a sacred object, OR it has one because its possessed by an evil spirit.

    I love using Princessprite in Vampires. There's a combo with Retainer, Familiar and Desire to summon this which keeps Retainer and Familiar from banishing themselves since they become XYZ materials. Plus, if you excavate a Zombie, it gets sent to grave. Then there's Zombie World turning Princessprite into material for Sucker.

    Risky but potentially useful tech card: Top Share. It's a normal spell that requires both players to pick a card from their decks, reveal it, then place them on top of the deck.

    Ok Nova. 3 things. 1.) Great video. I haven’t made a Sylvan deck in a while so this will be a go to video when I remake it. 2.) When does quasar commander become available? And 3.) DO A D/D/D EXPLAIN VIDEO. D/D/D and Dark Magician are the 2 archetypes that I have been waiting for you to do since I first discovered your channel. I would love to hear your takes on the decks. Your channel always gives me new deck ideas to try. So keep up the good work.

    • @GoldenNovaYugioh
      @GoldenNovaYugioh  Před 2 lety +1

      Both those archetypes will get their day in the sun eventually! I know DM will definitely be a milestone video, but DDD will be at my future discretion.
      As for the Quasar Commander, there's not really a schedule for it. As long as the person with that role holds it, they can make a request every month, but if it ever becomes available, I'll be reaching out to the Discord to let everyone know!

    @Digimaloko Před rokem

    Sylvan still has a lot of potential, there's a lot of tech cards that can be used in the deck and a lot of different styles of builds, i have been testing the deck a lot and the build that looks most promising is Orea Fertilizer (basically focused on using Miracle Fertilizer and Archfiend's oath, alongside Orea which can return those cards to activte again)
    some tech cards that can be used include :
    -Therion engine
    -Predaplants engine (which includes adding instant fusion with darlington cobra and then using Ambulomelides + chlamydosundew + predaprunning to summon Dragostapella)
    -Mardel (can add any plant monster)
    -Evil thorn
    -Living Fossil (can revive evil thorn or lonefire and still resolve their effects if they tribute themselves)
    -Top Share (can place any card on the top of your deck)
    -White Rose Cloister (personally i think this card is a lot better than mount sylvania, mount sylvania is a -2 to place 1 card on the top of your deck, it's not a good play at all)
    -Reasoning (if excavated, good, if summoned, good too)
    -Parallel exceed + Rikka strenna
    -Rose princess (adds White Rose Cloister but it's still a plant, better than running terraforming)
    -Spore
    -Fengli the Soldrapom
    -Rikka princess
    -Snowdrop the rikka fairy
    Of course i don't recommend running all of them because then your consistency will just go to hell, you have to make some choices yourself

    @MageAmazedYGO Před 2 lety

    I used to mess around with Sylvans in Duel Links all the time. Either way, I love this archetype! Since Special Summoning and working off the GY has become more crucial in this game, I feel Sylvans have some synergy with Plant Synchro. Along with Carrotweight, Plants like Rose Lover and Rose Girl can work off of the rigjt Plants hitting the GY.

    • @GoldenNovaYugioh
      @GoldenNovaYugioh  Před 2 lety +1

Mount Sylvania is the only archetypal card that'll interfere with the deck stacking, and that's easy enough to account for when scripting duels.
