No but they had a Hatred against Dinosaurs and Insects. Look at Steelswarm, Donomist and Evol. Steelswarm, and Dinomist arent even Insects and Dinosaurs and Evol had a fucking Dragon as Bossmonster. Rex Raptor Reverenz?
@@dracometeors3010 why? Its clear what some Types got no love. And the Game add more and more Types for no reason, except advertising, whitout supporting them properly.
Reptilianne Igknights. Rank 6 plays give you Utopia Beyond. Rank 4 plays give you King of the Feral Imps to search Viper. Steal a 4 / use another 4 igknight to make Reptilianne Hydra, nuking your opponent's monsters and drawing a card for each. You could also tech in a few Odd Eyes Fusions to make Brave Eyes Pendulum Dragon as an alternative way to Zero your opponent's monsters. Additionally, since Viper is a dark, it can also give you Void Ogre. Like 90% of their cards are garbagio, but they've got some decent synergy with Igknights.
Shotty Which is not even that much of a rare sight, considering he does not play Pokemon competitively anymore and prefers english speaking youtubers over german ones anyway. :)
As much as I love the Phantom Beasts, I'll readily admit they REALLY have nothing. Honestly, if they just got some love and a retrained card or two, I think they have some good potential. Still, I really never understood why the creators farted out 5 cards for the archtype, but then scrapped it and made aircraft instead.
Frankly I don't even think the guys who made MPB even realized that Phantom Beasts even actually existed until well into development. Their OCG name of Genju is just such an incredibly generic term that I can honestly see some guys in Konami's card R&D going "oh, let's make animal airplanes that make, like, phantom images of themselves in the form of holograms to throw off targeting systems! Those'd literally be mechanical phantom beasts!" and then one guy pointed out that one of Yugi's cards was called a Phantom Beast ( in Japan, anyway ) and they thought it'd be neat little callback. Then when a higher-up later pointed out that they already made Phantom Beast cards they just sort of shrugged their shoulders and went with it anyway because it wasn't like those cards were particularly relevant in any way.
+CajunJ Heck I would personally start with retrained versions of: Gazelle The King Of Mythical Beasts, Berfomet (Even though he already got one with D/D Berfomet) & Chimera The Flying Mythical Beast to actually give them synergy with the other cards. Gazelle could be: When this card is normal summoned. Special summon 1 Phantom Beast monster from your hand.
@@GatorRay At the very least, they could rename Gazelle and Chimera to be full Phantom Beasts, since "Mythical Beast" is its own archetype, now (that has nothing to do with the Phantom Beasts). As for support, they got Caninetaur a while back, which is decent, and I guess you can synchronize them with Danger! Dogman! (level 7 Dark Beast-Warrior to match Rock-Lizard), plus the Fire Fist support and maybe Unexpected Dai (for getting out Gazelle for one-card Rock-Lizard shenanigans), but beyond that... yeah, nothing much to go on, here...
You could always make the "legacy of the overpowered" or start talking about how bullshit some effects were in the anime and perhaps even what archetypes right now are the absolutely best (for us noobs out here)
going into depth on the tier 0 decks of the past would be interesting for a lot of people. when tubers talk about decks like drulers and goat control, they rarely go into much detail on the interactions available at high levels of play.
***** if you want to see why they're overpowered, search "full power _______" and you should see some YGOPro Replays that'll show why they're so strong.
+Maiaer Hunders. Watts. Batteryman. None are ridiculously powerful or have consistency issues, but they at least aren't god-awful and fail to work at anything at all. Hell, Batteryman OTK was a deck for a while, and is still possible with very, VERY perfect hands.
Roxie ღ im pretty sure Sk is pronounced Ess Kay. like the actual letters S.K.. but yeah you just pointed out they spell sky fire and i feel so retarded for never noticing
It's even funnier that Trickstar effects to less damage per tick than Reactors, and they have no in-archetype negation. They're just a lot more consistent, and their damage ticks a lot more often than Reactors.
Honestly, I'm loving the fact you're fitting more archetypes into the videos. Means that I can neglect doing stuff I should be doing in order to watch you talk about shitty archetypes, and I love it.
+DaleL.Irwin Well. There's other monsters that are combined forms of other monsters that are effect monsters. Valkyrion The Magna Warrior & Gate Guardian come to mind. Not saying that a retrained contact fusion retrained version of Skyfire couldn't work though. But I think at this point I would rather see a retrained Link monster version that requires 3 machine type monsters. I mean they've done that with Arkana Knight Joker so why not give Skyfire that treatment. Same goes for Valkyrion.
Am I the only one who noticed That the suffixes of the reactors spell sky fire. SK Y FI RE SKY FIRE I can’t believe it took me this long to notice this.
+RedBlack Ha. the names are puns. And I admit I honestly think they're not as dumb as the puns Konami has been doing in more *RECENT* times *COUGH* FUR HIRE *COUGH*
silly Rank10, suggesting that snakes on a plane is a mixture of kozmo`s and venoms, but what he doesn`t know is that they are actually a mixture of REPTILLIANES AND MECHA PHANTOM BEASTS...seriously i built the deck and its fun as hell. (also the next archetype you should do is LV archetypes like armored dragon, allure queen etc.)
Did you get that from YuGiOh4RealMen? That'd be pretty ironic if so, given that the description of that video says "I've HAD IT with these NET-DECKING players in this NET-DECKING format!"
The Legacy Of The Worthless series is easily the most entertaining series RANK10YGO has come up with. Nice edits and a fantastic accent. For someone who was born in a country were English isn't the primary language. This guy speaks it extremely fluently.
I'm surprised that the Earthbound Immortal that's used as Misty's boss monster in her deck doesn't have any synergy with the Archetype. But then again, it's a part of another archetype that can only have ONE monster at a time.
One of the sad things I noticed playing Legacy of the Duelist is that the duel against Leo that was essentially a curb stomp battle in the animé is now genuinely difficult due to AI Leo's better strategy and the Reactors being hard to get out.
I'm a sucker for a good beatdown deck with no bells or whistles (Ancient Gear, Blue Eyes, Batteryman, etc.) and I can definitely see that theme in Phantom Beasts. They just have too few cards to do anything. Seriously, just add an archetypal searcher of some sort and a few more monsters focused on support from the GY and beatdown and more cards like Horn. It's not hard at all to make Phantom Beasts something.
Dark is over-represented as is, throwing a bone to Fire wouldn't have hurt. The same goes for Beast-Warrior. That's what happens when you limit an archetype to an attribute.
LOL Great vid Rata! Please continue this series and archetype archive. I like learning about the cards that I sometimes see in Duel Links and wonder what their TCG version looks like.
Do you have a decklist? I got a lot of the cards in Master Duel a while back as part of the Exosister pack I think. I love the art and the playstyle but I am new to them, so I'd love any tips you have!
@@MoskalMedia Sir, I warn you. Getting a decklist from me is actively asking to get as many losses as possible. I am the WORST at constructing decks. I would sometimes put work and effort into making a deck for myself and then slap some random crap together for my dad to play (when I was younger) and the random garbage would beat my deck. I hope you manage to find a deck that works, which is why In implore you, don't get one from me.
@@chdest4550 Thank you for the warning, my good sir. I appreciate your honesty! I wish you best of luck in your future Reptilianne and Yu-Gi-Oh endeavors. I hope you build a deck that can beat random garbage someday.
To be fair, RANK10 so far has been spot on with finding the absolute worst archetypes in this game. So once this series is done the playlist of this will be pretty much a guide on which archetypes to avoid at all cost.
Why all the hate on Reactors? They're meta when you combo it with DNA Surgery and Valhalla. You can even run Kristya if you run Sanctuary in the Sky Agents in them. They're meta.
Great video! I hope those last two episodes are about Chess Archfiends and Guardians. I can´t think of an archetype more worthless than them. Also, I wish that magazine was real.
I know its kinda tough to go with Cloudians, especially since I know that among their main issues is that they are just slow. Outside of that, the can drop counters for days and their effects are usable multiple times per turn. Hell, my old Cloudian deck ran all Cloudian cars outside of Eye of the Typhoon and only used Spirit Barrier as a damage defense.
Reptilianne is a deck I really love the concept of, I go back to it every now and again to play it. I actually got a decent build, not tier 1 but it can play against tier 2.
the phantom beasts are actually really decent and there's a clear point to it. some monsters support others on the field and the rest get bonuses from phantom beasts being in the graveyard that support phantom beast on field just for being in the graveyard. all they need is a searcher and a miller and maybe another boss monster, maybe a fusion, and they'd be above average.
i propose Reptilianne Ouroboros: Link-1 bottom left arrow, 0 attack. Requires one reptilianne monster. While in the GY, once per turn (Quick effect) you can target "reptillianne" monsters in your graveyard equals to the number of face up monsters on the field, make the attack of all face up monsters on the field 0. The activation of this effect cannot be negated. If when this effect resolves there are less monsters face up on the field than reptitle-type monster banished, you can shuffle all your banished cards into the deck, and if you do you can add one "snake rain" from your deck or GY to your hand, then draw one card.
Thank god Caninetaur is a thing for getting Cross-Wing and Thunder-Pegasus in the graveyard, and Gazelle can be utilized well in this deck with Unexpected Dai for a quick, dirty one-card setup for Rock-Lizard. Still not really great, but it's slowly improving, I guess.
Btw dunno if many ppl noticed that but you can boost Mecha Phantom Beasts with Crosswing and protect them with Pegasus as they are also considered Phantom Beasts.
phantom beast actully had good comeback back on their time because having 3 or even 2 cross wings the trap card and a single wild horn.i know it's too situational but for back in their time it was good
I would say it was a thing for even less time than that, considering Lavals w/Rekindling would make Red Nova / Quasar a lot quicker and easier than Flamvells ever could.
caleb zekeri Flamvell Magician is great because it's a Level 4 Tuner that isn't Ultra Rare, doesn't have a built-in drawback, and is compatible with Flamvell Firedog, Rekindling, and Lavals.
Ever notice how reptile decks tend to have 1 or 2 cards that if it where in any other deck they would be tier 0 but thank goodness they where in the bad type.
You got Aliens, Bounzer, Itsu, Cloudians (theyre iffy but still roastable), Jinzos, Djinns (which apparently are the ritual slaves, the musical Xyz guys AND some dragon lady), Majestic Mechs, Knights (Queen's, Jack's, etc.), Stygian, Machina, Metallizing Parasite, Batteryman, possibly Iron Chain, Jurrac AND Battleguard. Thats only the trash I saw in my binders.
(Phantom Beast is perfect, will show ya an build if I find my old DN deck prints) So what we learned today? 1) I'm going to build reptiliane metalfoes NOW 2) Reptiliane Meduse gives e the SHIVERS! 3) I'm definity running reptilian rage in my metalfoes reptiliane deck 4) Summon reactor is a lvl 5 machine-type; U KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS! (scenes of me partying with CDI) 5) Dark flaptop can summon a lvl 5 machine type, so U KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS! (scenes of me partying with CDI) 6) Phantom Beasts are OP u meta sucker scrub 7) Really hyped for War of the Worthless 8) MY MAN THAT WAS THE BEST FANFIC I EVER READ, WATTPAD TIER
Reptiliannes, just like you say do have decent effects(Vaskii, Hydra, Naga), they are just a bit too specific to get off. If they make it easier to get your opponent's monsters to 0 by sum support cards it would improve the deck big time.
A contender for a Legacy of the Worthless video would be Iron Chains. A mill-focused deck released early in 5DS which is only (or perhaps, depending on who you ask) remembered because everyone splashed an Iron Chain Dragon into their extra deck. I don´t think I´ve ever seen someone use the archetype in a complete deck.
Sigh... It's happened. There's a LOTW on an archetype I use. You always hope this day will never arrive, but somewhere in your mind, you know it's coming. (I have a Reactor deck) Actually your video on Venoms made me WANT to construct a Venom deck. (until I was looking for Reptile support, found Aliens, and forgot about Venoms, lol)
Does... does Crosswing have boobs? I mean there are some underboob lines and its chest is covered by decency feathers. Then again looking at the card closely it might be its rip cage? The artwork might just be weird. The top part of the upper body just doesn't look right in general. It seems to suddenly make have a twist in its torso...
So... some questions about some LotW in general: 1: Could you give us a bracket outline for the tournament, with Meklords being 1 and going to the last archetype, 16. 2: I may have some deck requirements that ensure that the duelists stay true to their archetype, if you would be interested. 3: Is there a set of dates we could expect to see the next episodes of LotW? 4: After the tournament is said and done, I may want to set up a LotW roleplay, but only once all the archetypes are done and I have the tournament with which to rank them. If you're interested, please comment and I'll give a more in depth description.
Okay I think I can make phantom beasts semi-decent. First have a phantom beast that is a level 4 dark beast whose ability is this card's name is treated as berfomet, so you can have still have fusion material for chimera, and "when this card is summoned you can add any phantom beast card from your deck to your hand" and "you can banish this card from the graveyard to return a banished phantom beast card to your graveyard". Next, you have another one a level 3 earth beast whose ability is" you can prevent the destruction of one phantom beast card by sending this card from your hand to your grave yard" and "while this card is in your graveyard and a phantom beast card is targeted by a card effect you can negate the effect and banish this card" once per turn obviously. Then, make a new boss monster like a level 5 gazelle beast warrior with special summoning condition like tributing a phantom beast monster. Have it get 100 atk for every phantom beast in the graveyard and be able to send one phantom beast monster to the graveyard. Then a field spell obviously, all phantom beasts get 100 atk for all phantom beast in the graveyard. Once per turn you can target one phantom beast card in your graveyard and send another card with the same name to the graveyard from the hand or deck. When this card is destroyed return all banished phantom beast cards to the graveyard. Finally, a continuous trap "when a phantom beast monster on the field is sent to the graveyard add one phantom beast card to your hand" and "when this card is in your graveyard you can banish this card to return one phantom beast card to your hand. Maybe an equip spell that adds 100 atk for every phantom beast monster in your graveyard and piercing damage. Well, that's how I would fix phantom beasts. Is it good maybe not, meta no way in hell, but at least this is in a playable state and thanks to fire fist there's beast warrior support that could help it.

Then when a higher-up later pointed out that they already made Phantom Beast cards they just sort of shrugged their shoulders and went with it anyway because it wasn't like those cards were particularly relevant in any way.
Same reason Gazelle is technically a Phantom Beast. It's just kind of a generic name.
+CajunJ Heck I would personally start with retrained versions of: Gazelle The King Of Mythical Beasts, Berfomet (Even though he already got one with D/D Berfomet) & Chimera The Flying Mythical Beast to actually give them synergy with the other cards. Gazelle could be: When this card is normal summoned. Special summon 1 Phantom Beast monster from your hand.
@@GatorRay At the very least, they could rename Gazelle and Chimera to be full Phantom Beasts, since "Mythical Beast" is its own archetype, now (that has nothing to do with the Phantom Beasts).
As for support, they got Caninetaur a while back, which is decent, and I guess you can synchronize them with Danger! Dogman! (level 7 Dark Beast-Warrior to match Rock-Lizard), plus the Fire Fist support and maybe Unexpected Dai (for getting out Gazelle for one-card Rock-Lizard shenanigans), but beyond that... yeah, nothing much to go on, here...
@@jeremyadkins9665 Agreed. I hope they retrain Gazelle & Chimera in the future.

***** if you want to see why they're overpowered, search "full power _______" and you should see some YGOPro Replays that'll show why they're so strong.
Legacy of the Overpowered: Episode 1 - Dragon Rulers
It makes me so sad that there can never be an archetype of Lizards that dominates.
William Sweeting You had Dino - Rabbit at one point. but yeah... I know the feeling. I want a Good Thunder Archtype.
toadsss
YOU FUCK OF WITH YOUR TOADS, THOSE ARE AMPHIBIANS AND YOU KNOW IT!
I pity you friend
+Maiaer Hunders. Watts. Batteryman. None are ridiculously powerful or have consistency issues, but they at least aren't god-awful and fail to work at anything at all. Hell, Batteryman OTK was a deck for a while, and is still possible with very, VERY perfect hands.
I feel dumb for not getting this when I first saw these cards along time ago.

SKY FIRE
SUCC WIFI RE! Got it!
I felt the same! I just thought "Meh, they're codes for each one like those of Karakuri and Superheavies. Nothing to work my brain about".
Roxie ღ im pretty sure Sk is pronounced Ess Kay. like the actual letters S.K.. but yeah you just pointed out they spell sky fire and i feel so retarded for never noticing
100% pronounced Ess kay, Wi-Fi and Ray. So therefore Sky fire is Esskaywifiray.
Roxie ღ Me too! These were like my favorite back when I was 9 and I never got it!

It's funny because Trickstars would be kinda do the gimmick of Reactors better and like Rata said, they are infuriating to play against.
It's even funnier that Trickstar effects to less damage per tick than Reactors, and they have no in-archetype negation. They're just a lot more consistent, and their damage ticks a lot more often than Reactors.
@@dungeonmaster3464 they also have access to reincarnation, which provides interruption that most decks aren't equipped to deal with.
"phantom beast outback Canadian" as a Canadian that has to be one of the funniest things I've heard. I've replayed it ten times now XD
Honestly, I'm loving the fact you're fitting more archetypes into the videos. Means that I can neglect doing stuff I should be doing in order to watch you talk about shitty archetypes, and I love it.
Me waiting years for Phantom Beasts to get some more support
💀
I waiting a good and useful Arcana Force card
I mean... you kinda got some?
So this archetype is all about removing your opponents monsters by giving them 0 attack, then removing them again. What an efficient archetype.
"Is it because she's a snek and sneks don't have necks? I don't know, don't ask me. I'm not a snekologist."
Makes me giggle every freaking time.
I feel like SKY FIRE should've been a fusion, anyone agree?
+DaleL.Irwin Well. There's other monsters that are combined forms of other monsters that are effect monsters. Valkyrion The Magna Warrior & Gate Guardian come to mind. Not saying that a retrained contact fusion retrained version of Skyfire couldn't work though. But I think at this point I would rather see a retrained Link monster version that requires 3 machine type monsters. I mean they've done that with Arkana Knight Joker so why not give Skyfire that treatment. Same goes for Valkyrion.
A contact fusion at least
I mean even make spell reactor a tuner instead before and would have made more sense
Or at the vert least like rata said have much better effects
Or a Synchro. Because it was 5Ds.
Pretty irrelevant comment, but....
10:45 that was actually Robert Costanzo, the look alike and voice-alike of Devito voicing Phil in KH.
Wait...
Could he cosplay Phil?!
XD
Am I the only one who noticed
That the suffixes of the reactors spell sky fire.

RE
SKY FIRE
I can’t believe it took me this long to notice this.
No, you aren't the one only, but you're probably one of the last
Reptilleanne Rage should be called "Mask of Duck"
"Sneks have no necks."
Excuse me sir, sneks are entirely neck
That gag at 5:11 just gave the duel links players in the audience a panic attack.
Trap reactor Wi-Fi?
Summon Reactor *SK*
Trap Reactor *Y FI*
Spell Reactor *RE*
*SKY*FIRE*
Mind blown
And, in Japan, they were Spell Reactor AI, Trap Reactor RR, and Summon Reactor AID. AIRRAID. AIR. RAID.
+RedBlack Ha. the names are puns. And I admit I honestly think they're not as dumb as the puns Konami has been doing in more *RECENT* times *COUGH* FUR HIRE *COUGH*
*WTF DID YOU JUST SAY ABOUT MY WIFEY?!?*
silly Rank10, suggesting that snakes on a plane is a mixture of kozmo`s and venoms, but what he doesn`t know is that they are actually a mixture of REPTILLIANES AND MECHA PHANTOM BEASTS...seriously i built the deck and its fun as hell. (also the next archetype you should do is LV archetypes like armored dragon, allure queen etc.)
Did you get that from YuGiOh4RealMen?
That'd be pretty ironic if so, given that the description of that video says "I've HAD IT with these NET-DECKING players in this NET-DECKING format!"
no actually i thought of my build on my own.
The Legacy Of The Worthless series is easily the most entertaining series RANK10YGO has come up with. Nice edits and a fantastic accent. For someone who was born in a country were English isn't the primary language. This guy speaks it extremely fluently.
I'm surprised that the Earthbound Immortal that's used as Misty's boss monster in her deck doesn't have any synergy with the Archetype. But then again, it's a part of another archetype that can only have ONE monster at a time.
What? Not tragic ending
I guess now it synergizes a little with the earthbound support
I love that gardna is literally just a fucking turtle.
One of the sad things I noticed playing Legacy of the Duelist is that the duel against Leo that was essentially a curb stomp battle in the animé is now genuinely difficult due to AI Leo's better strategy and the Reactors being hard to get out.
I'm a sucker for a good beatdown deck with no bells or whistles (Ancient Gear, Blue Eyes, Batteryman, etc.) and I can definitely see that theme in Phantom Beasts. They just have too few cards to do anything. Seriously, just add an archetypal searcher of some sort and a few more monsters focused on support from the GY and beatdown and more cards like Horn. It's not hard at all to make Phantom Beasts something.
Reptilianne cards have an amazing artwork, I really wish them to have more support.
Your wish has been granted!!! Thanks, Burst of Destiny!
phantom beast rock lizard. its not a beast not a rock not a reptile type. wtf it also seems to be standing on lava and its not fire
Dark is over-represented as is, throwing a bone to Fire wouldn't have hurt. The same goes for Beast-Warrior. That's what happens when you limit an archetype to an attribute.
eeeee!!!!
You should have vids like this and make two decks fight each other.
The worst of the worst duels!
lvl5Vaporeon there is going to be a tournament.
I'm guessing that's what The War of the Worthless is. :)
I like the Reactors design. They look like the background grunt mechs from Getter Robo and I mean that in the best possible way.
Man, I remember using a Reactor deck as a youngin' that thought they were the shit on the show. Still keep it around to play casually, good times
Man, the new support for reptilianne was spot on for what rata said they needed.
Not liking that new background. I prefer the dark space. It gives more color popping on the cards.
Fun fact: The background was changed cause I accidentally deleted the old one and couldn't remember where I got it in the first place ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
I feel your sorrow, mate.
RIP
LOL Great vid Rata! Please continue this series and archetype archive. I like learning about the cards that I sometimes see in Duel Links and wonder what their TCG version looks like.
I am so glad that Reptilianne got some support recently, they are one of my favorite decks and have a lot of potential.
Do you have a decklist? I got a lot of the cards in Master Duel a while back as part of the Exosister pack I think. I love the art and the playstyle but I am new to them, so I'd love any tips you have!
@@MoskalMedia Sir, I warn you. Getting a decklist from me is actively asking to get as many losses as possible. I am the WORST at constructing decks. I would sometimes put work and effort into making a deck for myself and then slap some random crap together for my dad to play (when I was younger) and the random garbage would beat my deck. I hope you manage to find a deck that works, which is why In implore you, don't get one from me.
@@chdest4550 Thank you for the warning, my good sir. I appreciate your honesty! I wish you best of luck in your future Reptilianne and Yu-Gi-Oh endeavors. I hope you build a deck that can beat random garbage someday.
while many would recommend aliens, they had alot of good cards, me im more curious about what other shitty archtypes there are out there
To be fair, RANK10 so far has been spot on with finding the absolute worst archetypes in this game. So once this series is done the playlist of this will be pretty much a guide on which archetypes to avoid at all cost.
I dunno why I loled so hard at "Thank you blurry Danny!" Take my like sir!
Trickstar is basically reactor but a whole lot better and stronger.
reactors are like a ww2 demagificated heralds of light
I eagerly await the last two archetypes in the series and I am very excited for the WAR OF THE WORTHLESS.
Why all the hate on Reactors? They're meta when you combo it with DNA Surgery and Valhalla. You can even run Kristya if you run Sanctuary in the Sky Agents in them. They're meta.
Eidolon intercept? TT intercept tho? Oh and Toadlyawesome intercept are things to worry tho.
JCD Godot rekt the train scrub
JCD Godot lol make some op reactos
relies too much on one card that you can just mst
Dont forgett the Reactor engine in antik Gear. Reactordragon is a Staple.
Phantom Beast supports are real now.
Not really, just Chimaera.
Great video! I hope those last two episodes are about Chess Archfiends and Guardians. I can´t think of an archetype more worthless than them. Also, I wish that magazine was real.
How about Guardians as in: Grarl, Ceal, Kay'est, etc.?
Kehhei! That be fun
I was about to make the same suggestion.
Yay another triple feature! keep up the good work!
I know its kinda tough to go with Cloudians, especially since I know that among their main issues is that they are just slow. Outside of that, the can drop counters for days and their effects are usable multiple times per turn.
Hell, my old Cloudian deck ran all Cloudian cars outside of Eye of the Typhoon and only used Spirit Barrier as a damage defense.
or Sanctuary in the Sky
Reptilianne is a deck I really love the concept of, I go back to it every now and again to play it. I actually got a decent build, not tier 1 but it can play against tier 2.
wow i just binge watched these all today and was sad there wasn't any more and this immediately pops up
Chain Link 1
Mauricio I Shapesnatched First from ya :^)
Yozzoy ay fancy seeing you here. Subterrors 101 was lit 👌👌
the phantom beasts are actually really decent and there's a clear point to it. some monsters support others on the field and the rest get bonuses from phantom beasts being in the graveyard that support phantom beast on field just for being in the graveyard. all they need is a searcher and a miller and maybe another boss monster, maybe a fusion, and they'd be above average.
rata needs an e-ratta. hahahahah *insert suffering here*
i propose Reptilianne Ouroboros:
Link-1 bottom left arrow, 0 attack.
Requires one reptilianne monster.
While in the GY, once per turn (Quick effect) you can target "reptillianne" monsters in your graveyard equals to the number of face up monsters on the field, make the attack of all face up monsters on the field 0. The activation of this effect cannot be negated. If when this effect resolves there are less monsters face up on the field than reptitle-type monster banished, you can shuffle all your banished cards into the deck, and if you do you can add one "snake rain" from your deck or GY to your hand, then draw one card.
Great, this card improves the consistrncy well
Thank god Caninetaur is a thing for getting Cross-Wing and Thunder-Pegasus in the graveyard, and Gazelle can be utilized well in this deck with Unexpected Dai for a quick, dirty one-card setup for Rock-Lizard. Still not really great, but it's slowly improving, I guess.
I really love these videos, and you. I truly appreciate this.
I love this serie and i'm a big fan of your channel!
Btw dunno if many ppl noticed that but you can boost Mecha Phantom Beasts with Crosswing and protect them with Pegasus as they are also considered Phantom Beasts.
phantom beast actully had good comeback back on their time because having 3 or even 2 cross wings the trap card and a single wild horn.i know it's too situational but for back in their time it was good
I'll suggest it again.
LOTW - Flamvells.
flamvells red nova was a thing for a while though....until rekindling was limited
I would say it was a thing for even less time than that, considering Lavals w/Rekindling would make Red Nova / Quasar a lot quicker and easier than Flamvells ever could.
Flamvell Firedog and Flamvell Magician (the only great Flamvells in the first place) will always be welcome in Rekindling Decks such as Laval. :)
Autobot Starscream Flamvell Magician wouldn't even be good without flamvell dog. It's so bad on its own.
caleb zekeri Flamvell Magician is great because it's a Level 4 Tuner that isn't Ultra Rare, doesn't have a built-in drawback, and is compatible with Flamvell Firedog, Rekindling, and Lavals.
just give reactors the ABC treatment and i see a good deck,
like when say a spell is activated, negate its effects and summon this card
Tbh, we already have a better version of reactors.
It's called Psy-Frames.
u right, but i like the way reactors look alot
Skeletal pyschian
Indeed they do look awesome. :)
As a matter of fact, I am Greek, so thanks for considering.
Ever notice how reptile decks tend to have 1 or 2 cards that if it where in any other deck they would be tier 0 but thank goodness they where in the bad type.
You got Aliens, Bounzer, Itsu, Cloudians (theyre iffy but still roastable), Jinzos, Djinns (which apparently are the ritual slaves, the musical Xyz guys AND some dragon lady), Majestic Mechs, Knights (Queen's, Jack's, etc.), Stygian, Machina, Metallizing Parasite, Batteryman, possibly Iron Chain, Jurrac AND Battleguard. Thats only the trash I saw in my binders.
Imagine how funny it would be if reptilianne becomes meta
(Phantom Beast is perfect, will show ya an build if I find my old DN deck prints)
So what we learned today?
1) I'm going to build reptiliane metalfoes NOW
2) Reptiliane Meduse gives e the SHIVERS!
3) I'm definity running reptilian rage in my metalfoes reptiliane deck
4) Summon reactor is a lvl 5 machine-type; U KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS! (scenes of me partying with CDI)
5) Dark flaptop can summon a lvl 5 machine type, so U KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS! (scenes of me partying with CDI)
6) Phantom Beasts are OP u meta sucker scrub
7) Really hyped for War of the Worthless
8) MY MAN THAT WAS THE BEST FANFIC I EVER READ, WATTPAD TIER
Guys, guys..... Reptilianne and Venom deck... T O G E T H E R
WhiteKyurem Gaming they wouldn't senergize at all (venom swamp, if you're wondering what I'm referring to)
Reptiliannes, just like you say do have decent effects(Vaskii, Hydra, Naga), they are just a bit too specific to get off. If they make it easier to get your opponent's monsters to 0 by sum support cards it would improve the deck big time.
This aged well
THEY GIVE R EPTILIANNE SUPPORT
they did it again
he asked for more reptilianne cards, and then we got new reptilianne cards. Rata is a wizard.
Viper can be used against Zoodiacs.
So SUCC, wi-fi and REEEE. Perfect.
Yes! I have something to do today now! Thank you for making this day worth living.
SUPPORT REPOOOOOOOOOOOOORT
6:45 *cracks up
20:08 *cracks up again
Am i the only one that miss the old legacy of the worthless videos where it only covers one deck?
jordan wu yes because everyone else understands it harder to find decks that can make a 30 min video
You probably are but if it's any consolation, the last two episodes are going to be singular archetypes again
It's ending? Why u do dis to me
war of the worthless my dude.
Please no, this is one of the only things i find watchabe any more
Do the ENTIRE Naturia archetype
uh nope, naturia sacred tree, cherries, bamboo shoot and cliff prevent the archetype from being worthless
Super Master Of The Obvious 4 yea I said Naturia just becuase of how massive the archetype is
Super Master Of The Obvious 4 Cherries is so nice on turn one.
frank damsy 3 words Naturia Sacred Tree
Please
gosh i love this series, thanks man!
A contender for a Legacy of the Worthless video would be Iron Chains. A mill-focused deck released early in 5DS which is only (or perhaps, depending on who you ask) remembered because everyone splashed an Iron Chain Dragon into their extra deck. I don´t think I´ve ever seen someone use the archetype in a complete deck.
Every time there's a new legacy of the worthless, the world takes one step towards nirvana.
Wish we had more reactor monsters
One word haunts my very existence gooshpickles
You should cover the Guardians. They literally cannot hit the field without their equip card already being on the field.
Six years late to this comment, but you got your wish!!! Rata did Guardians as one of the last videos in this series.
CZcamss automatic video segmenting is struggling
Sigh... It's happened. There's a LOTW on an archetype I use.
You always hope this day will never arrive, but somewhere in your mind, you know it's coming.
(I have a Reactor deck)
Actually your video on Venoms made me WANT to construct a Venom deck.
(until I was looking for Reptile support, found Aliens, and forgot about Venoms, lol)
i noticed the editing is improving, nice job
The Phantom Beasts are so few and far between that you might as well stuff them all into Mecha Phantom Beasts.
I just now notice that Reptillianne Poison's artwork features Reptillianne Gorgon and Arcana Force's The Fool. WotW before WotW.
Does... does Crosswing have boobs? I mean there are some underboob lines and its chest is covered by decency feathers. Then again looking at the card closely it might be its rip cage? The artwork might just be weird. The top part of the upper body just doesn't look right in general. It seems to suddenly make have a twist in its torso...
2 snake archtypes in a row? Guess Konami should have learned- once bitten, twice shy.
So... some questions about some LotW in general:
1: Could you give us a bracket outline for the tournament, with Meklords being 1 and going to the last archetype, 16.
2: I may have some deck requirements that ensure that the duelists stay true to their archetype, if you would be interested.
3: Is there a set of dates we could expect to see the next episodes of LotW?
4: After the tournament is said and done, I may want to set up a LotW roleplay, but only once all the archetypes are done and I have the tournament with which to rank them. If you're interested, please comment and I'll give a more in depth description.
Watching you is the highlight of my day!!!
Okay I think I can make phantom beasts semi-decent. First have a phantom beast that is a level 4 dark beast whose ability is this card's name is treated as berfomet, so you can have still have fusion material for chimera, and "when this card is summoned you can add any phantom beast card from your deck to your hand" and "you can banish this card from the graveyard to return a banished phantom beast card to your graveyard". Next, you have another one a level 3 earth beast whose ability is" you can prevent the destruction of one phantom beast card by sending this card from your hand to your grave yard" and "while this card is in your graveyard and a phantom beast card is targeted by a card effect you can negate the effect and banish this card" once per turn obviously. Then, make a new boss monster like a level 5 gazelle beast warrior with special summoning condition like tributing a phantom beast monster. Have it get 100 atk for every phantom beast in the graveyard and be able to send one phantom beast monster to the graveyard. Then a field spell obviously, all phantom beasts get 100 atk for all phantom beast in the graveyard. Once per turn you can target one phantom beast card in your graveyard and send another card with the same name to the graveyard from the hand or deck. When this card is destroyed return all banished phantom beast cards to the graveyard. Finally, a continuous trap "when a phantom beast monster on the field is sent to the graveyard add one phantom beast card to your hand" and "when this card is in your graveyard you can banish this card to return one phantom beast card to your hand. Maybe an equip spell that adds 100 atk for every phantom beast monster in your graveyard and piercing damage.
Well, that's how I would fix phantom beasts. Is it good maybe not, meta no way in hell, but at least this is in a playable state and thanks to fire fist there's beast warrior support that could help it.
UMBRAL UMBRAL UMBRAL HORROR...
Reptillianes have a token generator... INSTANT TIER 1 IN MASTER RULE 4
JonTron: "Finally, an archetype for me!"
"If they were SLIGHTLY WORSE..." like, for example, if their only decent tuner and their only way to get some consistent plays got banned?
