You do honestly have this scary tendency to somehow predict the future when it comes to archetype archives... Either you are some sort of yu-gu-oh prophet, Konami watches your videos... or... you just have incredible convenience at your disposal. Or... your a fucking vampire lord in disguise and you know the future...
I mean, Armored Zombie, a zombie very self-explanatorily covered in armor, also has 0 defense. Maybe zombies use paper mache armor for aesthetic reasons or something.
@@BluePhoenix_ Paper and Paper mache are very different. Layering a lot of paper to basically wear textbooks provides a lot more defense than crumbled paper molded to look a certain way.
This series started off happy and fun, looking at and sometimes insulting old archetypes, now he’s being mentally tortured and threatened. Sounds like the tone GX had to me.
Watching this again in preparation of my upcoming What a Deck on Vampires. It's too outdated to help me build my deck, but it did make me laugh. It seems your videos age better than the cards you're reviewing lol; good job Rata.
If only the "bleed" effect banished instead of milling..... Wouldn't have made them meta or anything, but would have made them a bit more interesting...
Kavi Khan Yeah but they are not very consistent and quite slow at that. Would it really have been that OP?? I think at the very least it would have actually hindered the opponent rather than setting the graveyard for them and giving them advantage lol :)
He's referring to Macro Cosmos, which banishes any cards that would be sent to the Graveyard. The thing is, it hits both players, and Vampires, being Zombies, rely a lot on the Graveyard; using Macro Cosmos would make them unplayable. Dark Law is better, only applying the effect to the opponent's Graveyard, but doing so would also lock you out of Vampire Kingdom, since it would banish the cards before they can reach the Graveyard.
man, i used to love vampire lord back when i was playing yugioh online 3..shame the card got powercreeped to oblivion by now vampire vamp can equip me anytime
It is 2020 and Abaki Memes in Rata vids still fill me with inexplicably high levels of joy even as the world is burned by their effect damage. Thank you for the re-watchability of all your content for helping me cope with keeping my mind off my mental health issues while I try and work from home and pretend shit isnt falling apart.
I find it funny how the best thing about the Vampire archetype... is the person who used it in GX, because Camula is really damn cool. Also, I can say this right now: Vampires would probably be a nightmare for Exodia users.
I just wanted to say that your content helped me a lot... its funny when you listen to someone passionate about something, you find your passions again. I felt kinda lost in college and depressed because of wasted money etc. Then I found you and watched all of your LOW videos and AA videos at least 3 times each. I've even just listened to you during lectures, because it reminded me of the reason I'm in college and following my child like dreams. Sincerely thank you for your videos, even if you are talking about Yugioh a game i haven't played since the 5d's era, You ooze passion and love on such a deep level that i can't help but enjoy your videos more than most things in my life, So thanks again for your videos helping me through some hard times.
If you want it, it's the Kobold scream in the Dungeons and Dragons beats em all by Capcom: Tower of Doom and Shadow over Mystara (rereleased in a compilation called Shadow/Chronicles over Mystara, I believe) I heavily recommend them, definetly the best Beat'em all I ever played quality wise. (Turtle in time is still more fun though.)
Ironically, so much has changed in the last 3 years. They received direct support which changed their archetype style and works very well with the new zombie support. Especially if you add Eldrich and Golden Land cards.
House of Champs yo that tower of terror was insane. Yu couldn't tell when it was the part where you were going to rise and fall and it was so creepy. I still have Vietnam flashbacks
How ironic that vampire baby was ignored for not being related to the archetype only for its effect to be on almost every monster in their dark saviors support
Back in the xyz days, vampires were one of my favorite decks to play. No one knew what they did so they never expected the Vamp or Monarch’s Stormforth
Oh my god, the new Vampire support is a combination of Vampire Baby minster stealing effect, Vampire Koala's monster stealing effect, and curse's/grace's LP cost effects.
1. Amazing video 2. Abaki meta needs to happen 3. I hope the card game isnt actually going to die 4. I run shit decks like this until there is a meta where more than 3 decks are viable, you know so variety can be a thing again. (If it doesn't then maybe I take back number 3)
Ancient gears, ancient gears, ancient gears, ancient gears, ancient gears, ancient gears, ancient gears, ancient gears, ancient gears, ancient gears...
it's kinda hard to review an archetype that constantly gets support, as within a set or two the information in the video will be irrelevant. Also, R cri, Archetype Archive is just reviewing any archetype, not just bad ones.
R cri just because it doesn't have bad support, doesnt mean t shouldn't be on the show. That was legacy of the worthless. This is just reviewing old archetypes
I'd really like to see an archetype archive about gravekeepers, they were the first archtype to be made and have (in my opinion) one of the most interesting historys due to necrovalley and gravekeepers spy.
How? Its effects are so simple: This card can only be activated during your main phase 1 or main phase 2. You can play Pot of Greed immediately by placing it in face-up position in your spell and trap card zone, or you can postpone its activation by setting the card face down in the same spot as long as it's not occupied. Upon the moment of Pot of Greed's activation, unless it was negated, the player who activated it is allowed to perform the "draw" mechanic twice in a row, which of course refers to the act of pressing down the top of your main deck with your fingers and gently swiping off the topsiest card of said deck, and afterwards adding it to your very own personal hand without targeting or revealing said cards to the opponent. The cards, much like the main deck, are face down unless Convulsion of Nature is in effect or one of the cards is Parasite Paracide. After the effect of Pot of Greed has stopped applying, the card is sent to the graveyard of the player who activated it or banished if cards such as Macro Cosmos are on the field. The drawn cards can be played as if they were in the player's hand the entire time and they follow the standard game rules and summoning and activating procedures. If by the end of the turn or this card's activation the amount of cards held by the player who activated this card exceeds the hand size limit (6 by default) then this player must discard cards until they reach the current hand size limit. This card cannot be activated if the player's main deck contains less than 2 cards, effects can indeed be activated in response to this card's activation, and its activation cannot be negated by the effect of Mystical Space Typhoon. Have fun playing the Yu-Gi-Oh™ (遊戯王) Trading Card Game!
As someone who has a Vampire deck that I vary much like using I was vary excited for this particular video and it does not disappoint you've summed up most of my thoughts about the vampire archtype and brought to my attention a few I never thought of before, honestly though I do like your content and I do hope to see more :)
A little surprised you didn't mention the unofficial vampire tactician "patrician of darkness". His artwork and stats clearly hint at his vampire ties, but shame on konami for not making him official all these years.
Including vampire baby, this video goes over 13 vampire cards; I think since then, they've added ~15? More than doubled the archetype. To coincide with your hand in the Morbius meme, I wonder if now would be a good time to make an update to this? BRAND SYNERGY, AND ALL YOU'VE GOTTA THINK OF THE BRAND SYNERGY
I forgot this video had a Twilight Zone shout out. Nice 7:19 kinda funny this was the first time i knew about cimooo, even though i didn't know he was a yugituber at the time
I like the Archetype but it's gimmick (sending cards in your opponents deck to the graveyard) kinda helps most decks today. I really think they would be good though if they had something like necrovalley to stop the effects of the cards they send to the gy but unfortunately they have no such thing.
Mask Change II into Dark Law does sound like something Vampires could pull off; Dark Law's juuuust high-level enough for it to work. Problem is, it would lock you out of Vampire Kingdom entirely.
Great vids, I enjoy you explaining the archetypes the most. I am looking forward to more of this archetypes series, probably chemicritters or maybe Destiny Heroes.
I gotta say man, when I get home after 14h of daily work (7 at one job and 7 at another) life seems utterly fucked, untill I see a new upload from you... I then go to watch some of my favorite ones after I'm done with the new upload. Thank you Mr. Rata.
An interesting tech with vampires is gravekeeper’s servant, an old as dirt continuous spell that mills the top card of the deck to the grave whenever your opponent attacks. The triggers the field spell, puts sorcerer in the grave and pops a card on field.
I remember in the WCS 2005 game the CPU would always select to send monsters to the graveyard, so if you're running zombies you can creature swap them a vampire lord/lady and take damage for a free Despair from the Dark :)
If I could think of a way to modernise the archetype, I'd start with having cards sent to the Graveyard be a punishment again. Maybe a new Rank 5 boss monster that locks your opponent out of the Graveyard, or negates the effects of any card it sends to the Graveyard, or burns the opponent each time a card is milled. Maybe you could gain Life Points from deck destruction - like a vampire! Or maybe you could just overhaul the archetype and make it so their effects banish cards from the Deck instead; while there are cards that do benefit from being banished, it's still largely considered a punishment to most decks.
My headcanon is that pegasus designed vampire lady after camula, which would be the explanation for them to have so many similarities in their design (the card being a dramatization of her design) and why camula's transition card has it with her instead of, say, lord, genesis, or her field spell. We also know that pegasus didn't just pull from egyptian mythology and camula is old (both being fairly "duh" observations, but important to note nonetheless).
Alright alright. I will be the first to say that vampires have some draw backs, but I should know better than a lot of these people who say it sucks... I actually play vampires. The swarm ability is amazing. The underworld engine splash makes that just so much better, and the fact that zombie support is as good as it is (insert mezuki love here) the deck has pretty good staying ability. Plus the consistent tops I get at locals are stupid xD JUST SAYING mad respect to you rank 10. Loved this video don't take my salt towards you. Just love my vamps.

This video is now a fun retrospective on how this archetype used to play before they gave them 13 new cards and a completely different playstyle
Did you know that there is new vampire support?
Did you know you memed new vampires into existence :^)
You do honestly have this scary tendency to somehow predict the future when it comes to archetype archives... Either you are some sort of yu-gu-oh prophet, Konami watches your videos... or... you just have incredible convenience at your disposal. Or... your a fucking vampire lord in disguise and you know the future...
So, will you make an update for Archerype Archive or part 2?
disuelverocas now this man is asking the real questions
Uhhhhhhh...I can explain!
This just in, @Cimoooooooo knows where Larry's hairbrush is.
Cimoooooooo I don't think you can.

Love how Rata was the one to both make this prequel to Morbius and contribute to the iconic line "It's Morbin time" in the movie, small world.
2022 update: Betty is no longer kickin’
vampire bram
artwork has a shield = 0 defense
what a logic
It isn't a shield...it is a smashing board!
I mean, Armored Zombie, a zombie very self-explanatorily covered in armor, also has 0 defense. Maybe zombies use paper mache armor for aesthetic reasons or something.
Hell, sometimes Yu-Gi-Oh stats doesn't fit the art.
@@joshuakim5240 paper armor was a thing in asia
@@BluePhoenix_
Paper and Paper mache are very different. Layering a lot of paper to basically wear textbooks provides a lot more defense than crumbled paper molded to look a certain way.
The best part was when Vampire Lord said "IT'S MILLING TIME!", and milled all over those guys.
My favorite part was seeing a shirtless Vampire Sorcerer do a funny dance, what a classic scene!!!
Can we assume it is part of the Rank10YGO lore that Rata can hear duel spirits?
utopianking it's less that he sees them and more like he accidentally pulls them into reality.
He's like Jaden, oh no
Who's ready for lots of edge and an unnecessarily long detour into weird psych-student shit?
This series started off happy and fun, looking at and sometimes insulting old archetypes, now he’s being mentally tortured and threatened. Sounds like the tone GX had to me.
Lucas Vaccaro Superlight Vikings are cards he made as a child and they'll take revenge on him.
Watching this again in preparation of my upcoming What a Deck on Vampires.
It's too outdated to help me build my deck, but it did make me laugh. It seems your videos age better than the cards you're reviewing lol; good job Rata.
A B A K I
Abaki
henrik. Abaki
Why does he even has so many of them?
Abaki!
Nico 》
Why doesn't he have enough?
If only the "bleed" effect banished instead of milling.....
Wouldn't have made them meta or anything, but would have made them a bit more interesting...
Sammy Dray If there was an effect to do that they'd be a bit OP because nothing likes being banished.
Kavi Khan Yeah but they are not very consistent and quite slow at that. Would it really have been that OP?? I think at the very least it would have actually hindered the opponent rather than setting the graveyard for them and giving them advantage lol :)
Players happily banish ten cards face down. Banishing one which your opponent picks isn't going to phase them.
Kable Monroe Sorry can you elaborate that?? I'm not that knowledgeable about the card game yet. I only recently got into it... -_-' 😅😅😅
He's referring to Macro Cosmos, which banishes any cards that would be sent to the Graveyard. The thing is, it hits both players, and Vampires, being Zombies, rely a lot on the Graveyard; using Macro Cosmos would make them unplayable.

I'm supposed to be doing College work but fuck it, Rank10 just uploaded.
lol was going to post something similar if i couldn't post 1st lol.
Same here
Betty is no longer still kicking. Amazing it took over 5 years for that to happen.
Oh gods, I remember when Vampire Lord was an amazing card. I was in middle school back then.
I feel old.
Vamp is my favorite waifu bait
man, i used to love vampire lord back when i was playing yugioh online 3..shame the card got powercreeped to oblivion by now
vampire vamp can equip me anytime
How do I keep finding you in the weirdest places?
Lol
Big tiddies vampire gf
hmmm yes
bocodamondo I used to use it in the Yugioh Nightmare Troubadour for the DS.
I know right? Vamp is a hottie for vampires
It is 2020 and Abaki Memes in Rata vids still fill me with inexplicably high levels of joy even as the world is burned by their effect damage. Thank you for the re-watchability of all your content for helping me cope with keeping my mind off my mental health issues while I try and work from home and pretend shit isnt falling apart.
When I feel down, i make myself a bucket of popcorn, crack open a cold beer, and binch this channel.
I find it funny how the best thing about the Vampire archetype... is the person who used it in GX, because Camula is really damn cool.
Also, I can say this right now: Vampires would probably be a nightmare for Exodia users.
*laughs in Exodius*
ITS MORBIN TIME
Looks like Betty stopped kicking.
Fun Fact: "Vamp" is 2000's slang for bisexual. So yeah, waifu bait both ways bb
Nice
So are you a uranium atom or a toxic molecular structure?
Eli Babad he's actually thorium
So thats why vamp from metal gear was called vamp huh...
That's not true at all...

Crozz what? Please check spelling.
Man, I wish Vampires wouldn't suck
But then , they would die of starvation.
Hehe
Rin Pg I do belive you meant
S U C C
Ha!
And I wish Genex were pretty good and getting more support, looks like we both can't get what we want.
Oof. Betty's not kicking anymore 😂
the date is Febuary 21,2018, Vampires got new support. Off in the distance, you can hear RATA crying.
Corbin Edge what did they get, beside the one link monster I really cannot quite figure out the use for?
The Dathomir Brothers 5+ monsters, 5+ spells, and better alignment with viruses
The date is December 2, 2020. Vampires have recieved yet ANOTHER card of support
betty is no longer kicking
I clapped when morinphen did the funny scream
Mula
Whu....what??
If you want it, it's the Kobold scream in the Dungeons and Dragons beats em all by Capcom: Tower of Doom and Shadow over Mystara (rereleased in a compilation called Shadow/Chronicles over Mystara, I believe)
I heavily recommend them, definetly the best Beat'em all I ever played quality wise. (Turtle in time is still more fun though.)
It is a shame yes. Vampire's card art work is really badass. The only reason to ever play this deck is Vampire Vamp Waifu tho. Top tier.
Cimmooo mains Veggietales archetype confirmed?
Ironically, so much has changed in the last 3 years. They received direct support which changed their archetype style and works very well with the new zombie support. Especially if you add Eldrich and Golden Land cards.
The scene with Bram caught me off guard and I started laughing as I was sitting in the doctor's office.....that was awkward.
Betty ain't kicking no more
Flashing back to the tower of terror while I was at disney from this intro
Also... a lot of these vampires do sparkle... from holofoil T-T
House of Champs yo that tower of terror was insane. Yu couldn't tell when it was the part where you were going to rise and fall and it was so creepy. I still have Vietnam flashbacks
The Avalanchilator every time you ride it is actually a different sequence
House of Champs well good thing I only rode it once
How ironic that vampire baby was ignored for not being related to the archetype only for its effect to be on almost every monster in their dark saviors support
*Puts down on my list of Archetypes that I can throw in Lightsworns*
My only problem with lightsworns is that it's physically impossible to avoid drawing all your wulfs every time without fail.
Back in the xyz days, vampires were one of my favorite decks to play. No one knew what they did so they never expected the Vamp or Monarch’s Stormforth
Yugioh may die, but at least you'll always have Abaki :)
Reported for not generating a meme
6:34 um… actually-
Vampire vamp:
Rata "not recommended"
Me "Hell yeah"
Oh my god, the new Vampire support is a combination of Vampire Baby minster stealing effect, Vampire Koala's monster stealing effect, and curse's/grace's LP cost effects.
They should really make a sub archetype about Vampires wearing Luchador masks and bodyslamming people called "Whampires"
Ben 10 fan spotted
Looks like RANK10 is getting *L O R E*
while rata controls a face up ally of justice monster rata gains 400 attack. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE!!!
I forgot you're the one who made the Morbius meme. Hell I was wearing a Morbius shirt today. Thank you again Rata, thank you.
this is a tuner
I like that Twilight Zone intro. That was clean!
6:34 Not anymore.
1. Amazing video
2. Abaki meta needs to happen
3. I hope the card game isnt actually going to die
4. I run shit decks like this until there is a meta where more than 3 decks are viable, you know so variety can be a thing again. (If it doesn't then maybe I take back number 3)

If ghostrick is archive also gears so no point sir
it's kinda hard to review an archetype that constantly gets support, as within a set or two the information in the video will be irrelevant. Also, R cri, Archetype Archive is just reviewing any archetype, not just bad ones.
I think he said he wants to do them but wants to wait for the support wave to be over for sure.
R cri just because it doesn't have bad support, doesnt mean t shouldn't be on the show. That was legacy of the worthless. This is just reviewing old archetypes
R cri nope, he does whatever. Usually underrated and/or smaller archetypes.
Vampire's Curse was maybe my favourite card in the whole game for a very long time, it's artwork is so nice
I'd really like to see an archetype archive about gravekeepers, they were the first archtype to be made and have (in my opinion) one of the most interesting historys due to necrovalley and gravekeepers spy.

Can't a "lackluster" method be found to aid their "Power" into remove from play? Unreachable card zone?
Dark Law?
Mask Change II into Dark Law does sound like something Vampires could pull off; Dark Law's juuuust high-level enough for it to work. Problem is, it would lock you out of Vampire Kingdom entirely.
Vampire F U When a card(s) is sent to your Opponent's Graveyard by the effect of a Vampire Monster, banish it Face-Down.
Go for Harpies, my all-time favorite archtype. So satisfying when my beautiful bird ladies can break a Spyral board.
Its been three years but your wish has been granted!
Great vids, I enjoy you explaining the archetypes the most. I am looking forward to more of this archetypes series, probably chemicritters or maybe Destiny Heroes.
I gotta say man, when I get home after 14h of daily work (7 at one job and 7 at another) life seems utterly fucked, untill I see a new upload from you... I then go to watch some of my favorite ones after I'm done with the new upload. Thank you Mr. Rata.

I remember in the WCS 2005 game the CPU would always select to send monsters to the graveyard, so if you're running zombies you can creature swap them a vampire lord/lady and take damage for a free Despair from the Dark :)
No one else captures the existential angst of Yugioh as well as you do.
The way to fix Vampires make they bleed effect negate the cards/effects of any card sent to the GY for one turn.
Or just banish the card face down so it can't be used
Quality meme content
I love the random sound effects you throw into these videos.
I have been waiting for this for so long
If I could think of a way to modernise the archetype, I'd start with having cards sent to the Graveyard be a punishment again.

We also know that pegasus didn't just pull from egyptian mythology and camula is old (both being fairly "duh" observations, but important to note nonetheless).
daddy's back
I preferred the old voice of the one whose shape was snatched.
alexandremstpierre If we up vote your comment maybe we will get it back...
can I just ask; whatever happened to The One Whose Shape Was Snatched? He's sounded different for the last two Archive videos...
SageofLight777 Perhaps someone Snatched The One Whose Shape was Snatched shape and is not really The One Whose Shape Was Snatched
The Number 24 should have some honorable mention. :3
My day just got so much better
I'm here from the future to announce that Vampires are getting link era support.
Brady Seigfried uhhhhh......
Can I just say that you get a like just for that intro? "The Archetype Zone" has a really nice ring to it.
Chris Harbove what archetypes would be in that zone?
That spyral graph is pretty accurate right now
Wow super early for once, 12 AM but a rata video knows no idea of what time is
This archetype is still a better love story than Twilight.
Alright alright. I will be the first to say that vampires have some draw backs, but I should know better than a lot of these people who say it sucks... I actually play vampires. The swarm ability is amazing. The underworld engine splash makes that just so much better, and the fact that zombie support is as good as it is (insert mezuki love here) the deck has pretty good staying ability. Plus the consistent tops I get at locals are stupid xD
JUST SAYING mad respect to you rank 10. Loved this video don't take my salt towards you. Just love my vamps.
Russel Taylor That's not because of Vampires but rather because you run the actually good generic zombie support.
Rewatching for the 4th time because I love Rata's videos... and because I don't have a life.
Aaaaand 3 months later, we have vampire support. Honestly I wouldn't doubt konami genuinely watches this channel
Anyone else lose it at the abaki bundle?
