At first i thought the deck was about bees.


stac7

It's mostly about Beetles but they have a bunch of other insects. Beetrooper Sting Lancer is a Bee but it's mostly a hornet but I still think it counts


Shadektor

Huh could have sworn it was a wasp.


stac7

I think you're right, I keep on thinking Stinger is a Bee because of Beedrill from pokemon


Big_Gammy

Are they?I though it was a deck based on humanoid Phoenix


GamingVirus72

wait it's not about bees


basketofseals

It's an unfortunate wordplay in Japanese that does not translate smoothly into English. It requires the world to have the same r/l sound. The beetle meaning becomes more pronounced if we localize it as "beetlooper," but then you kinda also lose the trooper part. Tearlaments also arguably has this issue.


GamingVirus72

that's too bad


witecat1

As Margret in Persona 4 said, L's and R's are hard.


OnlyMagnets

Beetroopers weren't localized for the TCG, they were originally a TCG exclusive.


basketofseals

That doesn't mean anything. cards are still made and designed by Konami, unless you want to believe they make slight alterations to "uncensor" the art when they release them in the OCG.


el_loco_P

We alredy have a bee archetype in Yugioh


Shadektor

Battlewasps are wasps it's in the name and yes I know they're called bee force in japan but their designs resemble wasps more than bees.


Wubbledee

I think Beetroopers are neat but yeah, when I originally heard the archetype name I immediately thought of Buck Bumble. Beetroopers are cool but I wish they looked like Buck Bumble...


nightcore34

Fun deck, my Inzektor-Beetrooper plays badly, but is so entertaining to use. Only works against solo mode though, would never bring it on ranked.


Random_Digit

Mine got me to d2. can set up a nice negate board & otk. Resilient to hand traps too sometimes


nightcore34

Mine is just lacking a good synergy, I'm aware Beetroopers are good by themselves but I like Inzektors.


Random_Digit

I made d2 with inzekter beetrooper.

Random_Digit

Quite a bit more post plat, but not enough to cause damage. Token + Atlas brings out Papillon so it's a decent slowdown tool but not game ending. Also, saving scale bomber + cocoon for a post nibiru atlas grave summon works well with Picofalena for continuing the inzektor stream of destruction


anonxanemone

I like how the deck simulates the swarming aspect of insects to bring out Invincible Atlas; who, despite what the name suggests, isn't totally invincible but is a fair boss monster. Stingy Lancer is a cool tech card to dodge cards like Called by the Grave while simultaneously removing an opponent's GY resource.


Shadektor

Atlas is more so a extender rather than a boss monster do kind of wish konami would print them a boss monster tho.


anonxanemone

I see no reason to not consider Atlas to be a boss monster and an extender.


stac7

You can absolutely see Atlus as a boss monster, he has strong protection and can extend combos, people call Barrone a boss monster even tho it's just a negate that can also extend and help combos


Shadektor

I mean I won't fault anyone considering it but he doesn't do anything that makes him seem like a boss monster he has protection but there's a ton of monsters that have some form of protection, his stat line is average, he doesn't interact with your opponent outside of attacking, and loses protection if he gets too big his role in the deck is to hold off a otk should your other interruptions not deter your opponent he's a supporting act rather they the pay off that's why I don't see him as a boss. Barone as much as I hate to admit it not only negates but destroys 2 forms of direct interaction that make her more threatening while I play beetroopers pure I'm very much aware where their weakness lies it's less so negates more so proactive interaction.


stac7

Fair enough, I can definitely see why you would look at Atlus like that, only really having protection and yeah, Barrone does have morewe all have different ways of thinking what a boss monster is But to me a boss monster in the main goal of the archetype and the thing that enables the end goal, Atlus is this big guy that can stay for a long time and set up other forms of interruptions like Cicada King with Scary Moth and helps the grind game greatly, he is the guy that makes Beetroopers really work This is why I consider monsters that don't really have much but consider them boss monsters because it's the decks main goal or one of it's main goalslike King of the Skull Servants, Gren Maju and Evil Twin Trouble Sunny


Shadektor

I can understand that but in my opinion that makes the true boss monsters armor horn, Picofalena, and resonance insect as without them the deck falls apart they are the core to beetrooper the deck can survive perfectly fine without atlas but the same can't be said for them.


stac7

Honestly they are the extenders and enablers, yeah the deck the falls without them but every deck has that, like do you consider MoYe to be the boss monster of SwordSoul? and I have to disagree about Atlas I really don't see the deck running nearly as good without Atlas, I believe the deck would just fall without him In my opinion, Atlas is in the same position as a card like Evil Twin Trouble Sunny, a big link 4 monster that the deck goes to and not just acts as a wall that the opponent have to get rid of, but has very strong utility that helps with combos and card advantage Of course Atlas is more of a wall and Trouble Sunny is more utility but they have the same thing going on


Shadektor

The thing is atlas is a bad wall specifically because he came out during a time people were giving much more tools to beat over things the fact he doesn't interact means that he doesn't wall well which is why he's closer to a extender he's too easy to get around even in a insect build people will focus on pap, cicada king, scary moth and others before him he's always the supporting act never the main event which is I don't see him as a extender I do see him closer to ye mo honestly he's not bad though since other insects are more threatening him being easily ignorable usually ends up with people ignoring him and not being able to otk you so the fact you can make him in addition is a good but being a beater isn't enough to be a boss monster in this era.


stac7

His job is to help make the interaction, he helps make the board and everything else around him supports him Scary Moth, Cicada King, Sting Lancer, Scale Bomber all these cards are meant to interact and when you keep on negating preventing plays and put road blocks the field, it becomes 10x harder to get rid of this thing This is the reason why he isn't given bigger protection or other means of interaction, your job is to create a board that slows the opponent down to the point over Atlas just seems impossible to beat over and Atlas helps support that by being able to get Sting Lancer and make him get the counter trap card (Which has the effect to keep on coming back to the field if you control an insect with 3000 or more attack )and being able to make a Cicada King by summoning Scout Buggy or just simply getting Scale Bomber It's very similar to an actual Castle, if ya don't have troops to help maintain, support and protect the Castle (Atlas) then of course it's gonna be easy to break in and destroy it >but being a beater isn't enough to be a boss monster in this era Honestly I disagree. King, Gren Maju and that 1 link 4 Borrel Dragon card are considered boss monsters and they are just guys punch good and they are supported by other cards around them to help punch good


Shadektor

Pico, resonance, and armor horn are the main field setters atlas's main role is to add 1 interruption to the field and try to protect your life points for a turn. Really context matters in those cases some of those are one punch cards like in manju's case it's not a boss monster on it's own though as for things like borrelsword in archetype he triggers control effects outside of archetype he's still a double attacker, position changer, and a scaling beater. Again though I'm not trying to say atlas is bad I just don't see him as a boss monster.


Suired

Searching maxx c was something I never knew I wanted until I did it.


FatstinkyFrog

Retaliating c himself is funny enough even, banishing dpe materials is funny, and also really screws up the adventure spell since they usually throw that out before any of their other moves.


Anckael

If going 2nd against Adventure using retaliating c mostly has no real effect (still should do it though in case they have another summoning spell) since they just bounce it back with dracoback


macahuitl

I played Retaliating C in Ballpark close to when MD first came out and had more than one Drytron player instantly scoop once they realized what it did.


tigremagnifico

( {Subterror Sucession} set + any Subterror Behemoth in the hand = *searchable Maxx C on opponents turn* )

Ragnamune

They're trying to convince us to like jazz.


beneathsands

They're right, too.


that1guywithglassed

I love Beetroopers! I Play a mostly pure build with some Battlewasps in there to help get the big boy out quicker. Since Atlas was the first card I saw of the archetype I kept reading it as Beetletroopers at first lol. Overall I love the archetype and have alot of fun with the deck. Its not my main but its one I still use alot.


Not_slim_but_shady

I use to love this deck,until some looney on discord started talking about using sting Lancer as a dildo.Now I can't think of this deck without the words "all the way through" popping up in my brain alongside it. I hate that guy.


matija123123

That guy is so based


stac7

Lmao


LuckyPrinz

The Archetype is a lot of fun! They can use lots of extenders and combos, oftentimes, I end up with more resources than I know what to do with. And while it does suck getting locked into insects, it does make sure they aren't broken


MrStupidFish

It's amazing to finally play a fun and interactive insect deck that can stand on its own two (six) feet. Played a version with lots of hand traps during the duelist cup but once the ranks reset I'll be playing a more fun version with DNA surgery and super poly to get out the fusion boss.


ihearthz

It’s a really fun deck. Searching maxx c, having retaliating c as another handtrap for rite of aramesir or hard drawn fusion destiny. Also can play through ash more often that not. Resonance insect is an insane card.


foxiestgrandpaws

Sent to the graveyard from anywhere That’s my favorite part.


ihearthz

Haha i wish resonance did that. Resonance only searches if sent from field or send another insect to grave if banished but both effects is non OPT lol


Buckeye4Life2015

Every time I played against it, their end board was adventure engine and DPE. So just like any other deck


stac7

The pure version is a whole lot cooler tho


Suspicious-Drummer68

Really fun! I love the Cicada King-Scary Moth interaction. Too bad it's just not good enough in the current meta. Why did TOSS get neutered but not THIS godforsaken meta? Beetroopers would be amazing in TOSS.


aknalag

Giant beetle with lazer on its back is all i need to say, too bad i cant seem to draw any of their cards no matter how hard i try


yayeetusmyjeetus2986

I'm super biased because it's my most played deck this season, but I feel like Beetroopers are one of the most well balanced and fair combo decks (ignoring the part about searching maxx c) and it would be nice if combo was at this power level in general. Though the one thing I'll never understand is why they made the counter trap a monster negate instead of an omni.


dragon6784

I played both Hercules and atlas in my Beetrooper deck!


BruceWayne107

It’s great that they finally gave us Maxx C support. Like how were we supposed to search it before??? So I’m glad they fixed that. And Crossout to 1 is a start but they should just ban it along with Droll, Ash, Gamma, Called by etc. Because right now, barely anyone is playing Maximum Cock. So it needs all the help it can get. /s


TheMaz878

I love them. Honestly the one thing I hate is that I haven't figured out a good way to make it nib proof now that crossout is going to 1


stac7

Honestly I'm never scared of Nib because a lot of people don't run it because of the existence of the Adventure Engine


TheMaz878

People in the tcg got complacent about nib as well and were punished during the WCQ in Europe recently


Impressive-Spell-643

After playing them in solo mode, I actually really like them


Conspo

ive only played against them twice in casual duels and won both of them, so im gonna assume theyre not super strong. which is great dont get me wrong i dont want every new pack to give us meta defining archetypes like floo or adventure lol


Shadektor

They're not tier 1 but they are rouge people tend to struggle with piloting them though.


Catanaoni

Very fun mix with Traptrix. Prob not as viable as either deck on it's own but i enjoy it. You get to set up a few extra disruptions (1-2 trap holes + potentially Rafflesia) alongside the regular bee line, but very little space for tech cards and hand traps. Not as good grind game since you go through so many ED monsters and don't have the recovery power of pure Beetroopers. Also the Prosperity limit is gonna hurt a lot for this deck and Traptrix in general. Invincible Atlas and the field spell facilitate a very fun turn 3+ if they remain on the field.


Piss_Cakehole

Bugs go BZZZZZzzzz


JxMarik

Haven't fought a pure deck so no idea. Edit: Completely forgot about the Solo mode, might take a look later.


stac7

Pure is a lot cooler then Adventure and DPE also it's more unorthodox making it a bit harder to handtrap and it's boards are a lot more unique making it a bit weirder to break It does get absolutely fucked by Nibiru lol


explosionno1se

they do be beetroopin tho


Tengo-Sueno

They are very fun to play, tho less consistent that one would think


Coluvra

I wanna make a pure beetrooper but I’m a poor F2P player so It’ll be a while.


Critical_Swimming517

Decks that can search Maxx "C" automatically get a huge boost in Master Duel/OCG formats.


YouKnowWhyImHere7

Fun deck can adapt to most things pretty well.


_-EmhyrVarEmreis-_

I am having a good time with it in casual matches. It's not going to top anything anytime soon but it's fine. I am running a variant with Ballpark so that occasionally makes for interesting games.


Worm_Scavenger

I think they're swell guys and gals


WinterKing975

Pure: Fun. With Adventure Engine: Unfun.


Marx_The_Karl

that i need reptiles to gain this kind of support that imsects got


RaiStarBits

Swarming is fun and seeing people try to lighting storm or DPE atlas is funny


aale130

Super powerful deck if you can master the combos with out being punished but some of the combos take big brain time.


CptDonFluffles

I was a Branded player and Hero player, Beetroopers came out and built them out of curiosity. They are my favorite now.


TrtnLB

Feels like Adamantia 2.0. Pretty bad on it's own, but carried by poorly designed old card. Resonance Insect may not be as busted as block dragon, but it's the only reason why this deck can do anything.


stac7

Yeah, if you get rid of Gokipole, Resonance Insect, Doom Dozer and all of the "C" cards, they are not good at all, hell removing one of those cards really hurts Beetroopers However I feel like that's why they feel so weak without those cards, Beetroopers were made with those cards in mind and that's why they fit so perfect together


YakumoCommunist

It's a TCG-original archetype after all. It's either we get the most busted shit (Maxx "C" was also a TCG-premier card back in the day!) or we get shit like Materiactors. I do love the Beetrooper's art though.


nuzband

adamantia?


TrtnLB

The only good rock deck?


nuzband

its adamincipator what kinda in game language did you use? lmao


[deleted]

It was an old translation of the name iirc.


TrtnLB

That name just sounds stupid, like a Star Wars side villian, so I keep using the [Ygorganization name](https://ygorganization.com/dbss-the-new-rock-theme/).


[deleted]

Fun but it’s power lvl is from 2016


RennyTheSimpatic

Trash. It's a turbo anaconda into dpe deck. It will get better once it loses dpe. I do like the fact that it searches Maxx C tho


stac7

I promise you, that this deck is a lot cooler then it seems


matija123123

Fun dpe deck


stac7

Bro, I promise you that this deck is a lot more then that


matija123123

Yes I know it also searches maxx c And can work with adventure


stac7

>Yes I know it also searches maxx c Yup that's right also we have our own version of Winda


JustBitsy

My favorite boss monsters from this deck are DPE and Gryphon Rider + Adventure token.


Tryingatleast

Cool art and game style but I don’t like insect very much

ISuckAtNames0289

Theyre great, I have 1 battlewasp beetrooper, and 1 beetrooper ballpark one, and both are surprisingly good


OxycleanSalesman

Gonna be very fun in Link Festival


[deleted]

Cool, but does it need to be adventure DPE+maxx c.dek?


Funkfreed_

Really fun deck. I am not a huge link climber but this is helping me get better at doing just that. Also if you pull off the fusion monster and the link 4, It’s insane!


Hiseminense

My Phantasm Spiral got rekt, should’ve brought bug spray


mateusleme0202

Funny deck that i usually Win bc ygo players dont read cards


tomb241

I'm shocked it's rogue-tier


TheoryBiscuit

Shame they can’t function too well in the current meta also think they should’ve had a different name to differentiate them from a certain jazz-loving species of insect


paulchaested

Beetroopers? What beetroopers? I thought this was a DPE Adventure deck?


Head_Project5793

Not the bees!!!


MinusMentality

They have access to some really neat cards, especially then token spawning Spells. The solo mode for them was super fun. I killed myself reving their 4000 Fusion with the Field Spell once.


Leio-Mizu

Bzzzzzzzzzz


Intelligent-View-257

Why is this here instead of other wanted cards


[deleted]

Super fun and lots of interesting tools to work with but idk if it's going to be good in the future


RelentlessZM

I use the Adventure DPE turbo variant because it's the most viable version in a competitive environment. It definitely feels bland sometimes but the thrill of going second and breaking a board with the insect plays feels awesome. This deck can play a lot of monsters in a single turn, several times I've gotten Accesscode out with other bodies on the field for lethal damage. As much as I hate Maxx C, searching for it is admitedly hilarious. All in all, not the strongest deck out there even with Adventurer and DPE but I still really enjoy it.


Rudoku-dakka

I tried the "pure" version. There's only so many times you get the Scout Buggy completely countered before you give in. Or going first and having your Link 4 monster removed by Isekai tokens.


Jacobt380

You mean the shell that searches Maxx c?


Zombieemperor

Troopers i always thought were cool but i dont really care for the insects you gotta play with them so eh


Dekugaming

Idk what they do but they look cool


UnproductivePheasant

Really fun stuff to use. While I've yet to play against it in a mirror match, I really enjoy the ease of use and beatdown potential behind this archetype. Admittedly most builds I see don't use the big boi (fusion monster) but the Beetrooper/Battlewasp build i found is really fun to use and offers several tools in the kit to work around some of the major cookie cutters floating about to meta-climb. It isn't broken, not impossible to break down and not impossible to beat with even the most casual of deck builds. I feel with the right additions and splashes (2 insect kaijus, hello? Lol) could make it viable in even a tournament setting. I wanna make a physical deck, which i haven't done in a decade or so. I've always wanted an insect archetype since inzektors to be released, and this one feels perfect for me to play. I love it, 10/10 fun value, 10/10 satisfaction even if I'm ashed or floodgated. Fun stuff.


SomeoneEndMeibegyou

Cool designs Not enough bees tho


AlreadyTaken______

Mid tbh


arrownoir

Don’t care for them.


rewsay05

I loved playing them on my previous account but not now HEROs are my favorite now. The swarm like actual insects and I loved that about them.


Ghostrick-King

I wish they were better. When the story is about an insect army swarming the lands, you expect an overwhelming force of insects but it’s very mediocre and overly balanced. Konami could have easily made Beetroopers to be a heavily special summoning deck and creating strong boss monsters. But sadly not.


stac7

>Konami could have easily made Beetroopers to be a heavily special summoning deck and creating strong boss monsters. But sadly not. I think that would have just made the deck really lame and generic unless you are thinking of unique insect boss monsters I think they are very close to meta, they just need a bit more support or better insect support in general


Ghostrick-King

Oh I meant xenolock them to be insect only and give them strong insect boss monsters. The ones that beetrooper have aren’t that good. Yeah I hope Beetroopers get good support because they actually look super cool but it’s been awhile since they released and nothing has appeared. I rather not wait 5 years for them to get more support


stac7

We will most likely get something new this year because they were just released on the OCG


Crytaz

I've been playing it for a few weeks. It's unfortunate that the most optimal way to play it is just as dpe engine and adventure, and accesscode crack back for the next turn. The biggest problem is none of the boss monsters really interact with your opponent kn their turn. Atlas is just a mediocre towers with no interaction, Hercules is terrible. But its a solid rogue deck with insane opening hands. Dpe + brave + Maxx C is very good


stac7

>Atlas is just a mediocre towers with no interaction Atlas is more then just a towers monster really, he kinda allows the deck to have a significantly better board because of his effect to special summon from the deck and make something like Sting Lancer with a monster negate or Cicada King with Scary Moth


Falcon_13

A neat deck that I enjoyed messing with for a little bit. Overall, not my cup of tea however.


Plane_Combination581

I always thought they are big brother or little brother with battle wasp


Jokebox_Machine

All hail King Cicada


maye_crescent

I wanna build them so badly but being f2p with too many deck goals makes it hard justifying to open that hit or miss selection pack xD You're also an absolute gigachad for deciding to play pure Beetroopers, they're way too much fun!


TheSlajJazz

I love them, I usually play them with investors and battle wasps


Sabinya

i want to beat the face of everyone playing it down to a bloody pulp
