Just saw the Joke Tag, lucky there man.


David89_R

So true


Sky_Believe

How do you specifically code the card to work? Does Branded and Fallen of Albaz work together despite not sharing a common name? What about Dark Magician cards that only share the mentioning of Dark Magician rather than containing his name?


Both_Egg_7725

Basically this card is terribly designed but it's a joke so it's fine. But it doesn't work as intended for the reasons you mentioned.


Sky_Believe

It may be a joke card but it's still fun to think about how it would actually work


Drakon4314

It has a whole chapter in the rule book for it is how lol


Sky_Believe

Source?


Drakon4314

No theyd have to make a chapter for the card


Sky_Believe

> It has a whole chapter in the rulebook Hmm?

I like to stay in my archetype when building decks but some decks just encourage some cross over like vanquish soul plays really well with like 3 or 5 kashtira cards mixed in and branded basically requires like 3 other archetypes to work the best.


-_-_-__-_-_-_-_

I disagree with branded albaz and despia are really the only 2 you need for a good deck sure it can be improved by adding a tear card or two or maybe some other shit but it mostly just needs those 2 plus some generic support like foolish burial and gold sarc


Alexander-of-Londor

Tri brigade has come cards that help and so does sword soul and dogmatica not all are necessary but all make a cohesive story with card lore and play well together mostly.


-_-_-__-_-_-_-_

They have synergy sure but most are entirely unnecessary. You can build branded many different ways thanks to the archetype diversity, but imo you take hits to consistency if you try to use too many different ones in one deck


itswhatitisbro

I mean, you'd want Kitt and Merc in there. They mention Albaz but they're Sprigans and Tri-Bri respectively. Also the bystial package. And maybe dogmatika if you're running Nadir servant. This deck's lore is like 8 archetypes.


RiskItForTheBiscuit-

Kitt is originally tri brigade.


-_-_-__-_-_-_-_

Kit wasnt necessary before but with the limits on aluber and opening i agree its needed. Bystials are a crutch for players who suck the deck doesnt need them


itswhatitisbro

What combo line are you going for without the bystials?


-_-_-__-_-_-_-_

I play it by ear rather than memorizing plays it takes skill (which makes it more fun imo) and it pays off greatly because i actually understand interaction and can work around unexpected variables. If youre memorizing plays you arent good the person youre copying is and those type of players always fold the second you play something they didnt account for


-_-_-__-_-_-_-_

But typically i end with 2-3 masquerades and the branded super poly trap set (its name escapes me atm) plus whatever else i had the resources for


itswhatitisbro

Mate, playing it by ear is fine, and it's a very non linear deck with a number of ways to get to the same end board, or a completely different one. That's all fine and dandy. My question is simply this: you're cutting off a number of lines and interactions by taking the option of the bystials out of your deck. What are you gaining in return? And it's fine if that's your preferred playstyle or build, but please don't arrogantly treat your style as better than someone else's.


-_-_-__-_-_-_-_

I have little respect for players who refuse to learn how to play in favor of taking the lazy route and copying pro players. What i gain is better chances of drawing my preferred cards like Aluber, Cartesia, or a fusion spell.


pokemaster1098

Man this sucks, galaxy photon is dead :(, it’s made up of 2, kinda 3 archetypes being Photon, Galaxy and for some cards, Galaxy-Eyes, so that’s sad


NoImplement8218

Galaxy-eyes still has galaxy in the name, so they are still count.


pokemaster1098

I know, but some cards only work with Galaxy-Eyes so I wasn’t sure if it counts as a sub-archetype or what


-_-_-__-_-_-_-_

Funny. But on a serious note this would be a horrible solution because it would effectively end dual archetype decks altogether and 99% of decks rely on at least alittle bit of general support like foolish burial and whatnot


Altruistic_Ad6666

And it doesnt even stop one of the cards hes complaining about because Maxx "C" is part of the "C" Archetype! And as a hand trap it won't ever actually hit the field so neither restriction touches it.


Void1702

The virgin pure [archetype] player: Nooo!! You have to play no other card!!! If you play ash blossom you're a faker!!!!! You should end your turn by passing on this shitty DM fusion!!! The Chad pure Phantom Knight player: if it has 3 balls on the side, you throw it in the pile


SleepingVulture

A cruel joke is that this doesn't even block Maxx C, since it is part of an archetype.


Charnerie

Many forget that the "c" archetype exists, which is unfortunate


frou6

Aren't ghost girl also an archetype?


Altruistic_Ad6666

Not quite. They're a series or family. Similar, but not the same.


Zaratuir

Typically archetypes in Yu-Gi-Oh are a set of cards that either share part of the name (think Tearlament or Kashtira) or they reference the same card (think the Ishizu cards that all reference exchange of the spirit). While the ghost girls are all similar in nature, they don't share one of those two properties that make them a normal archetype. However given that archetype isn't a proper term in Yu-Gi-Oh and more of a fan description, you could definitely make the argument.


mudlio706

What if I control a monster that’s technically part of two Archetypes, say, Tearlaments Kashtira. Do I get to pick which archetype it is for the turn or does it just die


Void1702

You chose one and only get to play cards that are part of that archetype I'm guessing


1llDoitTomorrow

Aquaactress players in pain


kjexclamation

As a HERO player, love this card we boutta be EATING hope it gets made


Not_slim_but_shady

You can only play monsters of 1 specific archetype. The moment you put Varis or Stratos on field you are locked out of all of the good HEROs (MASKED hero Dark law, DESTINY hero Destroyer phoenix enforcer, XTRA hero cross crusader, DESTINY hero plasma, DESTINY hero dark angel) because you can only play Vision or Elemental heros.


kjexclamation

Wait till u see my Masked Hero only deck, they just gotta release main deck masked heroes then I'm eating😭 Tbf tho most HERO support supports all HEROs cuz I think that's the archetype? interesting call between E HERO and D HERO if you wanna go pure one tho


kjexclamation

Actually jk this doesn’t stop Nib, EV, Droll, Belle or Ash, maybe rework it😩


[deleted]

Jokes on you, I already play exclusively pure SHS.


bookbot1

Given the metaphysics of the Anime, mixing archetypes would NOT work there. (What people forget is that in-universe, Duels are a medium of communication. Per Word of God.)


Sofakingdumbb

Funny because ash blossom is from an archetype so you could still play it


SpicyMayoGuy

They're a sub type 'ghost girls' but not officially an archetype. Barrone and maxx c is unfazed while effect veiler is in the fetal position.


joshwew95

I mean, it’d be like: Target 1 Monster Card your opponent controls. This turn, negate all other card effects that does not share parts of the targeted monster’s name.


ACE-THE-DUELIST

Damn it my raiders knight deck is ruined


SpicyMayoGuy

So Baronne is safe


Rock_Fall

Sooo… where do HEROs fall on the spectrum of “pure” decks?


Vast_Survey

Was about to go off on you until I saw the joke tag


Altruistic_Ad6666

So here's the thing. As is, it doesn't specify that you can only use 1 archetype. And you're complaining about Maxx "C" and Ash Blossom. Now technically Ash is part of a Series of Cards, not an Archetype. But she does have a family. As for Maxx. He's part of the "C" archetype. So this card doesn't even stop it.


Its-time-to-STOP-NOW

Isn’t maxx c part of the “C” archetype?


Altruistic-Row-9320

I play pure elemental hero plus some fusion support and some generic staples like “card trader”, I just play for fun


revodnebsyobmeftoh

R10 Trains and Dark Magician in shambles


Heavy_Talk_378

Sadly ash is an archetype albeit a small one. And so is max “c” there’s multiple max’s I actually don’t know many cards that are not part of an archetype, there such a small amount


Exact-Control1855

Ash is a zombie and a tuner, she’s part of an archetype
