i love that konami keeps putting out religious archtypes and the tcg has to scramble to find a way to make it less religious lol
Also weirdly obsessed with Catholics
tbh this is why i kinda respected vanguard less sublety in that game(like at this point im 99% sure they only put in FIEND/FAIRY because too many cards at this point have the FIEND/FAIRY TAG that theyve basically dug themselves into a hole to change it to angel/demon
@@geiseric222 Catholic imagery is pretty damn cool.
And sometimes obscure references to Judaism like the qliphorts and zefra and time lords@@geiseric222

MBT slowly realizing that to most people super specific catholic shit is just about as alien as shinto tradition
He's so american brained, this was incredibly hard to watch man
I thought it was a bit at first but he's so oddly amused that anyone might not know Catholic lore.
MBT is so white american that he thinks default person is also white american.
What does that even mean? The Poles, Irish, Itialian, Spanish and Bavarians are all catholic to their core. The concept of thinking everyone has read the bible twenty times is not uniquely american lmao.
@@leviathan5207And on the other end of the spectrum you have....all of Asia.....where Yugioh is produced.
Joseph I'm actually almost certain that you understand at least triple the amount of Catholic knowledge than the average American
I thought the big thing in the United States was protestants and baptists.
"We've all been to a Requiem mass"
Joseph the fuck are you talking about, I'm literally raised catholic in a Catholic dominant country and we've literally never heard of a requiem mass
You've never been to a funeral?
Requiemmmmmmmm!
WOH WOOOOOOOOOH!!!
If you’ve ever been to a Catholic funeral then you have been to a Requiem Mass
"Everybody knows about this catholic stuff" bro I'm not 50
Finally, the archetype for the Italian mother in your life!
@kataphrut7740
'Ay , Ma! You know dat cahd game you said was satanic. Getta load o this."
This comment's IQ is tiny
MBT boldly assumes so many of us go to church, let alone know these specific things.
And like. Catholic church specifically. There are plenty of christians who go to church weekly and get few or none of the references
Ikr? Like, I'm Italian, so i can easily read latin words and frases and translate them, and when i was a kid i used to go often to the church with my parents, yet i don't know all of these things, so i can only imagine how confused other people can be.
As someone who grew up non-religious I legit did not know any of the catholic references in these cards, I’ve never even set foot in a Catholic Church
As someone who was raised by Christian parents, same,
I've never heard the word Lacrimosa in my life.
This is not common knowledge,
And while the translation notes are weird
They are at least consistent with how they describe religions.
Most Christians dont even know there are not 10 commandments. There were 14 listed in Deuteronomy. And depending on the version of the bible almost always more than 10 given to moses on Mount Sinai.
@@thebelmont1995 Hmm, most likely forgotten, know wonder Jesus came back to give the commandment to love one another.
Tell me, where do I find these other commandments?
@@kagemushashien8394 In exodus and deuromony. Read it. They list more than 10. If you actually go back and read the entirety of it.

It's really fucking weird for MBT to think that a pretty normal description of catholic ideas is weird and silly. Like, that's just how describing culture looks. Wtf does he think the descriptions of Japanese culture are saying?

DZeef going nuts over the clear Fabled Support of a Light Fiend Archetype
As soon as I realized the fabled were light fiends, I just heard “FABLED!” In my head
"Yes, my fellow duelists, we have come to save you!"
Hooray, it's the Catholic Church!
"FROM YOURSELVES!!!"
Oh no, it's the Catholic Church...
I understood that reference
Ah, a man of abridged culture.
YEEEEEES WAS LOOKING FOR THAT COMMENT
What abridge is this?
@@kagemushashien8394 Hellsing Ultimate
Even though it's not gonna be on the board together all the time but in-archetype they now have
- Two Monster Negate (soft opt and not once per chain)
- Spell/Trap Negate that is also a foolish and assist ritual.
- Two Send face-up to GY that is not targetable by monster
- Harpie's Feather Duster that is not targetable by Spell/Trap which can float.
I also like the fact that they give them the machine lock for ritual so no more fairy nonsense which I REALLY LIKE.
It gave them actual identity as its own archetype. I can FINALLY go back and do pure Drytron like when it first release.
After some a bit of testing.
I can say that at the moment, Uninterruptted a lot of hand can consistently put out I:P + DAD + Mu Beta.
but of course since Drytron loses hard when it comes to handtrap, yeah this shit still jank.
Nah tribute summon fairy
Man it’s happening
@@AsagiriAya Yeah, if mu beta gets negated you're screwed.
10:18 the entire guilty gear franchise is full of western band references, they named the main character the birth name of Freddie mercury for god’s sake
Even his cats have characters named after them, the Bedman siblings Romeo and Delilah
Let's not forget the unironicslly hundreds of characters and abilities from jojo's bizarre adventure who steal their names from songs, bands, and albums wholesale. Not like references, I mean there's a character who has ability named "Red Hot Chili Peppers"
I like how the new Drytron monster can float into Chaos Max
And that's the only monster it can float into outside of Drytron.
MBT the only time I'd heard the term "Lacrimosa" was in the title of the game "Ys 8: Lacrimosa on Dana" and after finishing it I still don't know what a Lacrimosa is
Getting evil catholics as if we didnt already have the undead spanish inquisition (eldlich) and anime holy roman empire (dogmatika)
It’s funny to me that Fiendsmith is holding the Link-1 on his back, meaning he just peaces the fuck out when you summon it.
“I have arrived! Take my coffin! Hi-yah!”
I'm glad MBT had fun with the Notes this time. Just because it's right beside us doesn't mean it can't feel as alien to people near us as other things from far away.
Treating all religions in the same way is just a way of being thorough.
It's little things like this that make the world a bit more wondrous than it had any right to be.
Yup a lot of people who were raised non religious would have no clue of any of it beside maybe kinda knowing some latin by ear so they can approximate what it means
@@matiaspereyra9392i just thought the names were, like, songs
@@matiaspereyra9392 It's not even just about being non religious either. There are so many other countries where Catholics make up like 0.34% of the population. That 0.34% stat is from Japan itself iirc lol. So providing an explanation of words and references is to be expected since these concepts are just as alien to so many people as Shinto references are to us.
And tbh I was raised Catholic myself and I didn't even know what a Lacrimosa was 💀 To be fair, I became non religious quite a while ago so it's not like I had a full on Catholic upbringing.
MBT completely glossing over the fact that AG has multiple "ignore summoning conditiom" cards as well as it being an AG box target is a bit of a letdown. Oh well, maybe a lithium video will get him to re evaluate it
I've been playing Ancient Gears for a looooong time and I think Dragon is niche. Seems like it's meant to shore up AG's fatal allergy to going first, which is nice, but I don't think it's good enough. I'd use it as sideboard tech, maybe.
Okay so people keep saying this, but actually the vast majority of those "ignoring conditions" cards SPECIFICALLY state Ancient Gear Golem (or the fusion that fetches the other fusion). Like, Gear Frame *Cannot* get you this card, or any of the other things we associate with AG
The only Ancient gear cards in the entire archetype that could summon this card ignoring its conditions are:
- Ancient Gear Howitzer Dragon can summon this... if it's destroyed by battle
- Ancient Gear Catapult can summon this if you control no monsters and you destroy one other card you control (so a continuous or Geartown, which we somehow searched without summoning a monster)
- One of the other new-ish supports Ancient Gear Tanker on summon can summon an Ancient Gear from *hand*
Really, there's no real way to work this into plays, and it's not worth it if you do, because it doesn't extend you at all. So like, I can summon it if I look for it, but that's the end of my turn unless I drew another "combo" as well. There's probably some convoluted line where you search this while summoning tanker to run it out of hand, but like
Congrats, I ended on one backrow negate.
@@Rojo9149 >Ancient Gear Catapult can summon this if you control no monsters and you destroy one other card you control (so a continuous or Geartown, which we somehow searched without summoning a monster)
You can Normal Wyvern, search Advance, Activate Advance and search Catapult. use the other effect of Advance to tribute Wyvern to draw a card, activate Catapult
The problem comes after, because you're not summoning Dragon off of Catapult over Dark Golem
@@Rojo9149Catapult and Tanker are good enough. All your cards that don't ignore summoning conditions like Geartown are grabbing Dark Golem anyway, so whatever. And who gives a shit about the EARTH Machine pile? lmao get fucked peeps. Its not fixing any fundamental issues with Ancient Gear, but its a spell/trap negate, but its not awful.
And then there’s me, who plays Drytron in a lower power level pure archetypes only format with my small group of friends. I love these cards.
Me who actually runs an actual Drytron build (with a fairy engine for protection, but now we have DAD for that). Also the 4k atk rituals have some really solid protection when DAD is out.
No MBT, Exosisters released ages ago

Shocked no one talked about how the fiendsmith can make Beatrice without a normal
And if you don't need to send anything to the GY, you can make the DDD that will protect you from Nibiru and is a great interruption in the opponents turn.
The chat spammed it a bunch
The engine basically sky striker hornet drone you can make a 1 card beatrice or high wave king but just running 3 smith 1 copy of the token spell main deck wise
Because making B is something gimmick decks do not real decks
@@geiseric222tearlaments a gimmick deck ig
I think some people are analyzing Ancient Gear Dragon incorrectly. It's honestly moreso just meant for an Ancient Gear deck than the EARTH Machine pile, but its not really good in that either.
The card is kind of confused. Going first the only Spell/Trap you're looking to negate is an Imperm, but Ancient Gear is a going second deck. One Spell/Trap negate isnt gonna change that
So from that perspective, what are your options going second? Hope you open this one of so you can normal it after using Catapult, which doesn't seem reliable. Or use your Catapult summon on this, which is a waste. You need to open like Geartown and Wyvern together for this card to become remotely worth considering. But, not that reliable.
And opening him sucks ass because let's say you normal this guy first, well then Catapult has been turned off. But if you wait, well your opponent has likely already interrupted you and Dragon's negate no longer serves a purpose
I just don't see a point in this
Also the Fiendsmith trap is nuts. You can wipe the board, and the later get rid of another card with the banish effect and sending thr big fusion to grave
The funny thing is he’s right that it’s bad, but he’s wrong about why. It’s not bad because you cant splash it in earth machine, it’s not meant for that. Earth machine is irrelevant, it’s like the 20th best combo pile deck.
It’s bad because even though Ancient Gears can bring it out easily without worrying about the summon restriction, they have better to things to do with that. Dark Golem is the power card of the deck now, there’s no reason to waste a Catapult or a Tanker on this unless you already have a way to get Dark Golem. At best you’ll use Commander’s extra normal summon to bring it out, but that’s too late for its effect to be useful. And it’s still 500 attack- it should have been 500 defence if they wanted it to work with box.
Dark Golem has no special summon restriction. You summon it off popping Geartown.
The fact that this thing bas the restriction and Dark Golem does not is legitimately very funny.
MBT asking if there are Japanese Westaboos about Catholicism when Evangeleon has existed for decades
"Westaboos" is a dope term
At first I thought Fiendsmith’s were Mozart references (Lacrimosa and Requiem were the first cards I saw) and then got confused when I got to Dies Irae.
I thought Dies Irae was a sequence in Requiem? Maybe I'm a big dumb head but I'm confused why you're confused?
7:50 ok martin luther
The DAD isn't a hard opt. You can loop it twice, first by linking it off with masq into dyna mondo, and then by tributing it with the new trap after it banished a drytron for cost and immediately ritual summoning it again (you'd need one additional material cause the trap only recurs 2, but you can just use a spent mu beta). DAD notably banishes for cost so you can trigger the trap even if it has been negated by let's say a dark ruler no more. This support is insane and makes the deck way less reliant on fairies! Also nova is a 1 card combo now
Pretty sure the Drytron stuff is actually pretty good under the assumption you don't get Drolled. You can get the new ritual out by 5 summons to not get nibbed and people seem to forget Fafnir actually has an effect on field.
Ideally you end on what? Fafnir+new ritual+trap+a random link like S:P or Apo? That's a S/T negate, whatever link you end on, and then upwards of 4 monster negates from the ritual since you simply use the trap to refill your hand and summon ANOTHER of the new guy since he is soft twice per turn.
YES WHY ISN'T ANYBODY REALISING THAT YOU CAN JUST LOOP THE DAD!!
You can also loop it a third time if you want to buy linking it off with masq into dyna mondo and then immediately reborning it
@@riccardomartina9517 Everyone genuinely ignores Dyna Mondo at any opportunity just because it’s ritual support. The card is insane and honestly might be a better link than S:P to get off I:P in some circumstances
Fiendsmith feels like they're referencing the Demon Forgemaster characters from that one psudo-RPG 3D Castlevania Game.
Curse of Darkness? I wouldn't be surprised considering how often Yu-Gi-Oh manages to reference Castlevania without mentioning Castlevania.
10:00 I mean, Yugioh is made by Japanese company and is loosely based on ancient egyptian religion
neon genesis evangelion, death note symbolism... Japan generally really likes to explore other religions and make them into these sci fi/fantasy concepts that somehow dont follow the actual religion at all but are simultaneously completely respectful towards the og material
Yu-Gi-Oh players: Konami makes archetypes too generic, for example Meteonis Drytron can summon any ritual monster, this is a design mistake. Also Yu-Gi-Oh players: The new Drytron cards lock you into Machine Rituals, they are unplayable. (I know both groups are probably different (some people will complain about everything) but the point is it doesn't matter what Konami does, players will never be happy).
The problem with Meteonis is that it summons anything using ATK while Rituals are balanced based on Levels.
That’s what I really enjoyed about Drytron and found cool is how it cheats the mechanic. I like these new cards but the lock is just a bit disappointing.
The new drytrons can end on
Appo 3(monster negates), The new Ritual(2 monster negates) the Drytron XYZ(with material for a Spell/trap negate) & I:P(to go into S:P) while also having the counter trap(monster summon negate) to back it up.
People are sleeping on Ultimate Flagship Ursatron, Ursartic Drytron, & Ultimate Bright Knight Ursatron Alpha(spell/trap searcher).
Yeah, all the new lists I've seen just don't play the level 7. It's literally just a free extender that can search Nova, the trap, Meteonis, literally anything you need all for free
R3tards are busy building around amorphactor and chaos max lmao
Drytron has always ended on an FTK. The issue was lack of non engine and brickiness.
Ursarctic Drytron is one of the jankiest cards ever printed tbh.
The problem with bright knight is half your search spells just can’t get it because it’s not a light
The searching spell being able to grab any Light Fiend is crazy. Some interesting things it can grab include:
Majesty's Fiend, Santa Claws, HERO Adusted Gold, Archfiend Eccentrick, Mirror Resonator, Ms Judge, a few of the Kuribohs,
and of course Fabled and Magical Musket monsters.
I could see splashing in Adusted Gold, Dark Calling, and Malicious Bane. Adusted Gold is a Light Fiend, so works as material for the Fiendsmith fusions and links, and the Fiendsmith monsters with levels are level 6+, so work for making Malicious Bane.
It can also search Weiss, Lightsworn Archfiend. We're cooking over here, for sure.
1 Drytron Xyz gets you the new ritual, two material is 4000 and it has 2000 itself
Also it gives your 1000 atk drytrons (that have been weakened by returning Meteonis) a purpose.
The fiendsmith is more of a reference to a game known as gungrave, nobody knows unless they played it
MBT the type of guy to bully someone who can’t recite the first 15 numbers of pi.

Dragon is INSANE... In Ancient Gear. It does literally everything for that deck. Catapult target, Box target, that deck can already get extra normals, and if your opponent has to go to battle to run over it, *_You're Ancient Gear, you win_*
Yugioh players when the ancient gear support only supports ancient gear: 😮
Also Yugioh players when the Drytron support incentivizes playing Drytron cards.
Time to put this and ritual dogmatika together for the "Entirely of Revelations" Deck
That fiendsmith archtype instantly reminds me of dmc. Surprised nobody is saying that yet. Isn't the archetype just dante and his devil arms? If you played dmc it also has a ton of religious reference
That's funny, because all I've been hearing are DMC comparisons
DRYTRON MENTIONED
As someone who grew up in a church of england school i find catholicism metal as shit in the right context. i love this.
Currently have this archetype built with Fabled & Chimera. They already have great synergy, so the crossover with them and Fiendsmith is incredible. Also, honorable mention to Magnum the Reliever.
Did MBT forget that Ancient Gear has plenty of ways to summon ancient gear monsters from deck ignoring summoning conditions?
Still it doesn't need the Cannot be Special Summoned part.
I love how drytron has a history of just being degeneracy turbo. During their heyday it was just 6 omni-negate herald, then eva got hit, then it felt like people weren't even willing to experiment with anything else and they fell off the face of the earth. Now people are trying to turbo out amorphactor pain and turn skips???? Lmao
God forbid we try any of the existing other ritual archetypes if it doesn't have a floodgate to sit on
I'm surprised Drytron doesn't have a in archetype limiter removal, because that would be wild both for combo plays (the rituals get very free) and killing people.
@@dudono1744 outside of searchability there's no point. They're machines, they already benefit from limiter removal

Everyone's saying Devil May Cry Archetype and I'm just over here getting a mix of Gungrave and Shadows of the Damned
With Nu, I can say this thing is amazing for extension. Also makes the Field Spell/Nova into 1 Card Combo if uninterrupted, since Fafnir add Nova, Nova Summon Nu from Deck, Nu add whatever Drytron you need (usually Alpha or Zeta), use the added Drytron to Tribute Nu to summon themselves, and Nu can come back again via it's own effect. You could even then XYZ Mu Beta Fafnir to make sure Nu doesn't Banish itself.
(The lock is troublesome though since means basically just Drytrons, but I understand that Konami doesn't trust us after Herald Drytron was born)
It's a 1 card DAD (you search Alpha with Nu, Alpha searches DAD, Mu Beta foolishes Meteonis, You return Meteonis to hand and activate it to summon DAD by tributing the whole Mu Beta)
Fiend smith looks like it’ll be a really fun engine to jam into every Light Fiend deck.
Imagine getting to an iC1000 Numerounious Numerounia then proceeding to link it off into Fiendsmith Requiem
This is a flex, also a dumb move
“Fiend-burger in paradise” cracked me up way too hard.
What konami has actually given us are cards that are reaally good at making beatrice
the guy himself is a 1 card beatrice without using your normal at the cost of the attack lock of the token
You can access a different line to beatrice via making the fusion using any light fiend + any 1 guy at the cost of 4 extra deck slots and playing the smith as a hard garnet
the archetype good at doing that is live twin but with the underworld goddess link 2 is coming before this does theoretically any deck and access that line with any 3 link material
With beatrice being better than its ever been with transaction rollback im very curious to see if this archetype can actually bring beatrice to its limit
Also fiendsmith works super well with evil twins
Still no deskbot support..
just because of Caesar, Fiendsmith might be worth running in any deck that loses to nibiru, just run the bare minimum 7 card main deck and 2 card extra deck engine, there are no garnets since even Lurrie can be used with any discard...or even normal summon it if you reaaaaally need to
You can play less than that, it only requires that you play 4 cards main 1 ed and puts 2 level 6 fiends on the board in 4 summons
@@salexpie you can, but why?, only extreme deck space cases, but the cards are so good why would you run less?
@@aerenntyne1099 Think about how many non-engine are required to play this format for example. Plenty of decks could find the room to play a 4 card engine, 2 spare ED slots and still play 12-15 non-engine especially for such a strong payoff. Granted I think the format will creep down in power pretty significantly when these cards release so maybe going below 12 non-engine in 40 will be possible again.
In physical pain from hearing MBT saying you could play Fiendsmith in fucking Resonators
"Smell/trap" 😂😂
People running drytron can still run the new support and jank crap like pain, Nu 2 only locks you out of ritual summoning non machines on *your* turn
Meaning you can still go into dyna mondo and just summon pain on your opponents turn as soon as it starts.
Plus fairy shenanigans will still be strong at least in terms of resources, since its not like you still cant tribute benten from the hand and get other stuff rolling.
I run a herald/drytron with diviner as a solid synchro package, get diviner, pop either a n'tiss or an arc light depending on board state, get her to level 6 and use a chaos valk to go into Baron.
Its not meta by any means but it packs a punch when it needs to.
You can just use the fiendsmiths as a splashable engine in anything for a one card combo that ends on caesar or Beatrice on the 5th summon
The engine itself can be as small as 4 cards in main and 1 in extra
The gear golem matters approach is more thought out than the gadget approach.
Spells like Tractus and Ground Xeno that Fusion Summon as a graveyard effect the same turn you use their "front" half are pretty crazy card design. I like it.
The second wave better have a yu-jo friendship atyle card where you sing "Kyrie elaison" as cost
"Damn, Jillian's kinda right tho" - Me who grew up Lutheran
I will for sure play fiendsmith. That shit looks fun as hell
Every time I see this deck, I think up new things. Like, the obvious things are musketeer and fabled synergy. It's a small main deck engine that can get you rank 6. The quick play is just hornet drones with its own link 1. Live twins might work, and we may be getting live twin support soon. I was interested in the art, but it seems good enough that it'll get played, and thus rarity bumped.
A bit late on this but the new drytron cards (not the trap) are crazy. Nu2 makes the deck easily play through handtraps and gives you several one cards. The boss is soft twice per turn and is easy to loop with i:p into dyna mondo which you can make with one card. Been playtesting it for a bit and its really fun
I love fabled so much I wanna play this deck really bad now
Are there any archetypes that are basically only a splashable engine ?
I guess adventure ?
fiendsmith is the mozart archtype i love it
11:15 most american moment
like, idk if you thought about it, but GHOTI as a name literally makes sense ONLY in english, and that is why it remained as that in every single language
how is it that you are joking about it only now that it's with other languages
I hope this doesn't lead to a ban of high wave king for the sake of our ddd decks as they are a fun archetype and losing that would be unfortunate
The ancient gear dragon could be somewhat decent insulation in a deck that doesn't need it's normal summon I guess
im gonna try the fabled fiendsmith build
I love drytron the artwork is cool and you get summon a bunch of silly ritual monsters, the new cards look cool i just wish their more in archtype ritual monsters for drytron
wait evil Catholics, isn't that an oxymoron?
I’m pretty sure the link 1 is the thing on the Fiendsmith’s back
You can always run 2 or 3 DAD and use another DAD as material to mitigate the cost
>Website is literally just giving contextual information on the naming conventions of the Catholicism-inspired new archetype, just like what they do with all new cards
>Joseph: makes fun of it for no apparent reason
I have no clue why he was being so weird about this, it was painful to watch.
what website does mbt use?
been a little out of it in terms of yugioh but this deck makes me really want to get back in again, like musket plus fiendsmith, like it may be boring to some or most, but I love this decks art and muskets so bad
Im still sitting here waiting for my Cubic Link 1..
A lot of anime have catholic references actually. Some are pretty explicit like qwaser of stigmata or dies irae.
Muskets mentioned!
Fabled Fiendsmith, lore accurate Bible deck incoming
...what's the dpe problem?
the drytron stuff is interesting, i think itcould see play with magikey stuff
PogChamp for real.
I think that this drytron can build a smal magickey engine in drytron with the new suport after all the magic key rituals are light machine
when master duel came out i was using drytron in the dumbest jank blue eyes chaos max otk i could think of. That or poorly trying to hand loop with gishki drytron.
It would be cool to get a Santeria or Voodoo inspired archetype
All I'm saying about the drytron support is that it is unfortunate.
In a vacuum drytron is an incredibly interesting take on a ritual engine, that turns the mechanic on it's head by using ATK values as tributes and facilitating nearly any ritual monster due to it's completely generic ritual spell.
Now of course players don't just do Skull guardian turbo, but inevitably do the most powerful thing this archetype could facilitate it lead to some very silly things this First multi-omni herald then turn skips.
When giving the archetype support the question is how do you make the support good without restricting the archetypes freedom and it seems Konami settled on 'you don't' and gave it a machine ritual lock.
As Joseph pointed out now you either do the old drytron which is pretty subpar at this point or play the new support which is restrictive.
I understand why the support has been made the way is and it certainly is good it's just unfortunate that it had to come at the cost of a lock
What's the idea of fiend Smith lab?
They could be trying to make sure Drytron is as incompatible with future Cyber Angel support as possible.
