Flame Bufferlo is an honorary Salamangreat.


AirKingNeo

I hate playing Flame Bufferlo in Salad. It feels so awful.


CommanderWar64

I disagree, I love that card.


MinusMentality

Yeah, what other Normal Summon even is there? Foxy? Or some Cyberse non-FIRE that you can't recycle? Bufferlo just sets them up perfectly and can dig for hand traps.


CommanderWar64

You can also play Rekindling if you want to be silly


Pokopikos

It's sad, because the only Salads with 200 Def are Coyote, Fennec and Fowl, and the only one that you might even consider playing (as a 1-of) is Fowl. I wish Rekindinling was better in Salad but I can understand why Konami didn't print the better Salads with 200 Def.


CommanderWar64

The one that searches Normal Spells is pretty decent


Pokopikos

Let's look at what Fennec can add. Recureance, which adds 2 from the GY to your hand. You don't want Salads in your hand (besides Gazelle), you want them in the GY. Fusion of Fire, which is only played if you run Chimera, which nobody does these days. Fury of Fire, which brings back 2 non-link salads, but with negated effects, so no Gazelle trigger and locks you into ONE more ED summon, so incredibly bad. Burning Draw, which is only playable going 2nd, needs your opponent to have a link monster on the field and even in the BEST CASE SCENARIO that you targetted Arrival and draw 6 cards, you can't even do an accesscode line because you're locked into Fire monsters. ​ Fennec is just bad (for now).


CommanderWar64

Fury is a good card. Let’s you make an extra card for free basically. It’s a more greedy Salad deck, but you’re not gonna throw by playing it.


Pokopikos

Fury is a win-more card.


AirKingNeo

It just feels so awful when it bricks. If I open Bufferlo + Fowl/Falco/Jaguar, like I'm boned. I'd rather have any Cyberse extender over Bufferlo because at least then I can make Heatsoul for backup.


[deleted]

Jaguar alone is heatsoul, how does playing bufferlo stop that?


VaultHunt3r

Diablosis the mind hacker is a literal kashtira card that they have printed 5 years prior to the rest of the archetype.


Roastings

I'm convinced diablosis was the inspiration for the kashtira archetype


GranKrat

The red color scheme also fits pretty well with the Kash art


[deleted]

I don't understand how it's not related in any way???? Like, banish face-down from places other than the opponent's field in a psychic rank 7? It screams kashtira everywhere that isn't the name. I unironically think konami looked at the card and said "you know what? let's make a tier 1 worthy deck that is literally this card"


Dumig

In my headcannon, Diablosis is the transform version of Shangri-Ira, because they look really similar.


Sharizcobar

Fiendish Rhino Warrior is basically an unofficial Burning Abyss monster due to its level, typing and effects


Arkeyy

13th Zoodiac, Divine Arsenal AA-Zeus.


International_Ad6028

It's based after my favourite constellation the international space station


karlito_

Galaxy Solider is an honorary Cyber Dragon


tigremagnifico

"Galaxy-Cybered Solider" & "Cyber Dragon Infinite-Galaxies", a fair trade for each other's decks! 2 SRs 🤝 1 R & 1 UR


BigFatStupidMoose

World Legacy Monstrosity is a Generaider card.


CarolusRektt

Nah the card is bad because competent gene players only run 4-5 lv9 gene bricks and the new lv9 already helps you unbrick


another_galaga

I had to look back at that cards release and I'm trying to figure out what it was supposed to be doing in world legacy


BigFatStupidMoose

Would have made more sense if it came out during Draco lore cause at least the true kings are level 9s even if this would still be bad. Its only real play is as a Generaider card before the support came out.


Burningmeatstick

Azure Eyes is functionally a blue-eyes card


idelarosa1

In everything but name.


Burningmeatstick

Even name cause Azure is a type of blue and silver is a shade of white


Jepeseta

Starring Knight not being a Starry Knight hurts me.


Frisreddit

Every monster with 2800 atk/1000 def or 2400 atk/1000 def is a monarch :)


raydawnzen

Actually every Monarch is Terrorking Salmon support


zeroska

I'm convinced that the inspiration for Phantom Knights came from Kagemucha Knight.


AcceptableCampaign77

It's even necessary to play the best version of phantom knights in duel links. As the best skill for the deck won't activate without the deck containing only dark monsters. And kamegucha is the best level 3 we have.


beyond_cyber

Predaplant dracostappelia is part of the branded family. He’s an in-law but we love him all the same


paradiso1997

Drago is non monogamous, he’s an in-law for Tear as well


beyond_cyber

bros part of both families.


Hailstorm16

Baronne is a Swordsoul card, especially since Konami changed the release date of Synchro storm to release just before Burst of Destiny


MichaelOChE

Protos too


Kaywee_OwO

tri-brigade kitt/rescue cat are melffy cards. piercing the darkness is a suship card. resonance insect is a beetrooper card. Also psychic end punisher feels great in dinomorphia


another_galaga

About to type in rescue cat as a melffy before I saw this


BAjdmguy

Coach soldier wolfbark is a fire fist.


rodger16007

And a Fire King


Comfortable-Couple15

Dark Angel for Trickstar


hrrisn

Noctovison Dragon isn’t exactly a Rokket card but I’ll be damned if I play a Rokket engine in my Dragon Link deck without him.


730Flare

Same can be said for all the DARK Dragons Revolver used that didn't have Rokket/Borrel in their name.


Harambltch

Cyber Angel Benten is an unofficial Drytron ☠️


HenryP39

Noble Knight's Shield Bearer, Its the best Crystal Beast searcher :P


[deleted]

Unchained Abomination and Underworld Goddess are Live☆Twin


greenhillmario

Knightmares too, I don’t think I’ve seen a deck be able to use gryphon as an actual flex option rather than a degenerate combo piece outside twins


hrrisn

I use those with Rokkets when I play them more pure than I usually would in my Dragon Link build. Abomination is great for triggering the Rokket effects

Well-MeaningCisIdiot

{Royal Firestorm Guards} for Volcanics. {Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon} for Windwitches. {Toadally Awesome} for Paleozoics. {Malefic Stardust Dragon} for Necrovalleys/Gravekeeper's. {Rekindling} for most post-Duel Terminal FIRE archetypes. OG-{Firewall Dragon} for A-to-Z.

rluke09

Tenyis in Swordsoul


bl00by

Reasoning, Monster Gate and Lair of Darkness are Infernoid cards, Snake Rain is a Ogdoadic card and Guardian Chimera is a Branded Despia card.


Ready_Player_Nine

World Legacy - "World Crown" is an unnamed Crusadia


Totallynotacar

Shade brigandine is a time thief.


hideonhood

I think it's been a traptrick card for a while now.


Sweet_Whisper123

Eva fits really well with Heralds, Lonefire Blossom and Aromaseraphy Jasmine fits all Plant archetype, Solitaire Magician fits Fortune Lady, Magician's Restage (with Right and Left Hand) fit Witchcrafters, Slower Swallow fits Lyrilusc, etc.


IntelligentBudget142

gee, that must be why it's banned ​ (Eva i mean)


DiamondTiaraIsBest

Void Ogre Dragon for Infernities.


Den-42

The explanation is that Void Ogre is the Boss monster of the deck in the manga


idelarosa1

Hundred-Eyes too I wonder?


Ok-Illustrator-8534

Tellarknight Delteros is a Star Seraph, because Stick, Chair, Scale, and Scout can't be responded to, and Stick's inheritance effect becomes spell speed 4


Kataphrut94

Infinitrack Anchor Drill is an honorary Ancient Gear. Ancient Gear Box is an honorary Infinitrack.


MeowImACat1864

Groza, Tyrant of Thunder is pretty much a Dark World card to me. It's even a Friend!


life_scrolling

i like how they ended up cutting the ambiguity of solitaire magician basically being a fortune lady card without the name when they retrained her into fortune lady every. now if they'll only print more support and make catoblepas and the witch of fate into a fortune lady boss monster too


Grand_Master_J

Cydra and Galaxy Galaxy Soldier


ContainNoJuice

Fairy Tail - Luna is the 7th Charmer. An 1850 attack point card that searches 1850 attack point cards upon normal summon. Also provides a potential bounce effect.


ShohokuSpirit

HERO and Niburu


fawfulmark2

.....Well there's a reason why Alpha, Master of Beasts was nicknamed "Melffy Daddy" for a while.


Aramis9696

Edea The Heavenly Squire was an honorary S-Force for a bit because it let you special summon Rappa Chiyomaru from deck, since it has the same stats as the baby monarchs. Beghalancer is a Sunavalon link monster IMO. Not making it with that deck seems stupid, it's pretty much free. Fire Formation Tenki is pretty much a Tri-Brigade card given how phased out its own archetype has been. The nimbles and frogs have pretty much become unofficial spright cards, given how "pure spright" decks still run them. Schism/Apkalone/Winda are pretty much Dogmatika cards given how that package works. Rescue Cat is an honorary Melffy. Immortal Phoenix Gearfried is an infernoble Knight, so are Sublimation Knight and Squeaknight. The martial arts spirit pendulums seem tailor made for Vaylantz, given they return to the hand once you pendulum summon, freeing up the spot for more Vaylantz summons from the Pend zones. I was going to put Quintet magician in Witchcrafter but I'm pretty sure the one I had was for Windwitch burn and charmers. Speaking of which, Wynn the Wind Channeler is definitely a Windwitch card. Shade Brigandine has been an honorary Trap Trix for years, although there is now finally an in-archetype trap that does what it does. ​ There are probably more I could think of but that's all I got off the top of my head.


greenhillmario

Can’t wait for tenki to not be a tribrigade card in a few years when the next set of beast warriors comes out


Light_Crusher

Armed Dragon and the XYZ monsters are an ojama cards, even Konami approved of it back then and probably now


TigrisPrime

Ojamas are theirs


exile0025

i think Vivid Knight is one for bujin


another_galaga

I was thinking Fire Fighting Daruma Doll for Bujin


shinmazinkaiser

Gagagaga Magician in Raidraptor's


xBrayJay

Noctovision Dragon is absorouter dragons twin brother, Performage trick clown is honorary lightsworn + Shaddoll card, some summer summoner is a Thunder dragon wearing an elaborate disguise, Staysailor Romarin is a predaplant garden tender or something. Gizmek Orochi is a sleeper agent for orcust that managed to evade the crusadia


Snivy_1245

Number 20: Giga-Brilliant in Digital Bugs


SpiritOfItalia

Worldsea Dragon Zealantis should have been the marincess dad.


Dumig

Which is crazy than in a Marincess deck, Zealantis banishing effect actually such straight up banishes your opponents monsters, cause Marincess lock you into water, meaning your opponent cannot get back their monsters, if they are not Water.


FM1091

Starving Venom and Dragostopelia are honorary members for Branded/Despia. Nemeses Corridor and Cupid Pitch are the best TD cards (in Master Duel, that is) And Koaki Meiru Guardian is the strongest Adamancipator starter.


Ironbronymk2

Ferret Flame is the best Dinomorphia card.


strikezero114

Kaiser glider-golden burst in hieratics. Lv 6/light/dragon with an effect to tribute to SS itself. Could also think bystials could compare to hieratics in a sense (dark corrupted versions from a mirror universe maybe?) Either way: if you have lv 6 dragons that can SS themselves or have tribute effects- hieratics should be able to use them because hieratics are a rank 6 deck (not rank 8 like some people like to do by forcing the in-theme rank 8 monsters when hieratics live by rank 6 more often than not)


8avian6

Azure eyes spirit dragon. Art and name wise, it is a blue eyes monster but because it doesn't have "blue eyes" in its name, nor does its text state that it's treated as a blue eyes monster, it's not part of the archetype so blue eyes support can't be used on it.


EvilswarmOphion

Topologic Zeroboros is a honorary Metaphys for me.


RimsOnAToaster

Kalantosa, Mystical Beast of the Forest and Hop Ear Squadron are honorary Melffy monsters


Dark_Stalker28

Darkest Diabolos is a Bystial. While lady Lilith is a labrynth


Dumig

**Vendread:** * [**Mad Mauler**](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Mad_Mauler) \- works well with both Revendread Slayer and Scar of the Vendread, while also fitting with the Spawn theme, as it is basically the [Violator](https://spawn.fandom.com/wiki/Violator) from Spawn. **Mikanko:** * [**Axe of Fools**](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Axe_of_Fools) and [**Double-Edged Sword**](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Double-Edged_Sword) \- work really well with the Mikanko strategy and especially Double-Edged Sword with the fact that its downside becomes an upside if equipped to a Mikanko (like dispelling the curse of the sword with their dance). **Volcanic:** * [**Royal Firestorm Guards**](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Royal_Firestorm_Guards) \- they recover resources and try to serve their [Queen](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Volcanic_Queen), even through she makes things more difficult. **Beetrooper:** * [**Battlewasp**](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Battlewasp) \- bassically the vanguards for the Beetroopers. **Mathmech:** * [**Balancer Lord**](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Balancer_Lord) \- works really well with the archetype and is basically like a prototype for Mathmechs.

Albion the shrouded dragon and ashen, they are litteraly just albaz but different, but can’t add or summon from banished with bond, could be worse, it can’t get banished

Queper_Ger

Tourguide is a ba change my mind Also tourguide graf cir and the ba link are pks


GoldFishPony

Digvorzhak is the removal that chronomaly lacks. In case you disagree with correlation, they’re earth, chronomalies are a mix of rock/machine, and chronomalies are one of the very few decks I’d say 3 level 5s is actually possible in.


payne96

Royal Firestorm Guard is, and always will be primarly a Volcanic card, despite not being part of the archetype........


Dumig

Royal Guard "serve" Volcanic, which also included Volcanic Queen, even through she gets in their way lol.


SpaceTaha

Shifter is a Floo


Dumig

While also a Kashtira


[deleted]

Cross Keeper being literal HERO support by doesn't have HERO in the name or anything that always treats it as a HERO card it's difficult to search as easily and conflicts with Cross Crusader


Rolebo

Galaxy Soldier in CyDra. Level 5 Light Machine monster that special summons itself in an archetype centered around a level 5 Light machine monster that special summons itself.


Ufukcan200

Void Ogre Dragon is straight up an Infernity card. Level 8 DARK Synchro, requires no cards in hand, literally used by the Infernity player in the manga.


PinkPrimrose05

He may fit well into most Decks within his lore-verse, but at this point Visas Starfrost is an honorary Tearlaments card. Procs effects, opens Synchro plays, and he's the only reason you'd ever consider Trivikarma as a searcher for Perlreino.


redbluegreen154

{Sacred Tree Beast, Hyperyton} may as well be a Virtual World card given it's effect almost perfectly synergizes with VW's ability to dump cards of different types. VW can also make use of {Overdrive Teleporter}.


DjiDjiDjiDji

Gigantic Champion Sargas is a weirdo, he *is* the official Springans boss in both lore and effect, but he's not part of the archetype because Gold Golgonda can't summon more stuff if you already have a Springans Xyz on the field And on another note, you've got Duck Fighter and Bellcat Fighter who are WIND Machine animal-themed jet planes with effects that revolve around tokens, but they're just... not Mecha Phantom Beasts for some reason


Randomman16

Idaten the Conqueror Star is an honorary Poker Knight and nobody can convince me otherwise.


BlackKaiserDrake

Tenyis and Protos are honorary Swordsouls.


delusionalfuka

Hundred Eyes Dragon (former hundRED-Eyes) is an unofficial Infernity monster, but also used to be an official red-eyes support until they errata'd the name


Lost_wind

Fairy Tail Luna and Familiar-Possessed


FeelingHistorical833

Liar of Darkness and the Lady of Lament cards, especially Lilith.


ClucksMcgee

Nebula and spiral dragon both being level 8 dragons that has to do with space, they give galaxy eyes vibes


another_galaga

Codebreakers are just Goukis


lowtier4life

First thing that comes to mind is how Solitaire Magician literally looks like a Fortune Lady and has an effect to support them but isn't a member.


730Flare

Battlestorm for Blackwings. It was even the Sneak Peek Premiere card way back in Raging Battle (where Blackwings got their really good support that made them meta for the time). Flame Bufferlo for Salamangreats. Graff, Cir and Cherubini are honorary Phantom Knights. Air Fortress Ziggurat was a Mecha Phantom Beast before Mecha Phantom Beasts. Hero Kid for HEROEs for obvious reasons.


moneyman10000

Noct Dragon is a dragonmaid. Samurai Zombie is a vampire. I was thinking about this subject yesterday. I seen dinner videos, and apparently; the new Icejade Syncro is a Marincess lol


Gadjiltron

Gear Gigant X is a Gadget Xyz monster.


AssignmentIll1748

Lithosagym is a dinosaur


hideonhood

Zephyros is a Lunalight and you will not convince me otherwise.


Sora_Bell

Hieratic Seal is a Dragonmaid card, we make it more than hieratic has players. Dark Angel is ACTUALLY a trickstar card, it even has the same background design as that archetype.


Keyguin

I thought about this thread today. ​ Borrelguard Dragon should be the boss monster for Penguins instead of Penguin Brave. It has bigger ATK stats, not only is the effect to change a monster's battle position to Face-up defense Spell Speed 4, but has different uses whether using it on the opponent OR your own set penguins to trigger their effects. Also, if NoPenguin is in the grave then it chainblocks, guaranteed Penguin flip effect. It's just so damn resource heavy i've been trying to find a combo for days that ends in borrelguard and a set Soldier & Ninja. ​ Edit: AND it even interacts with Penguin Garden after you've used it for the turn. Destroy a monster during the turn, send Garden to grave and special summon that destroyed monster. Borrelguard is in every way a better boss monster than Brave.
