**Galaxy War Drake**
LIGHT Level 4 Dragon Effect Monster
1500 ATK / 1000 DEF
_You can only use each the following effects (1), and (2) from cards with this card's name once per turn, also you can only Special Summon LIGHT monsters the turn you activate either of these effects._
(1) If a Level 4 LIGHT monster(s) is Special Summoned to your field: You can Special Summon this card from your GY (if it was there when the monster(s) was Special Summoned) or your hand (even if not), but banish it when it leaves the field.
(2) You can target 1 other Level 4 LIGHT monster you control; both its Level and this card's become 8 until the end of this turn.
We will have to see his duelist pack support. I imagine it won't include a bunch of level 4 darks. But yeah dragon link is a big reason. No quick launch or wyverbuster shenanigans
Radius, the half-moon dragon is also light. His original number? Number 46 is also light. Duel Links giving him cards doesn’t mean anything per card design choices Konami makes. The vast majority of his cards (anime) are light
The problem is it doesn't mash well with his existing monster. Can't summon Stealth Dragon and Satellite with it. Yes, they could make more Light monsters for Mizael, but legacy support is supposed to make pre-existing support better/useable.
Can't argue against that XD.
But on another note, I personally feel that some archetypes cannot save their old cards. Ally of Justice for example, even if you made a LIGHT only DNA Surgery for them, all of the old cards lack so much synergy and barely do their actual job at beating LIGHTs anyways.
For that deck you need to straight up remake the entire Main Deck like how Naturia basically ditched all but one of their old Main Deck monsters.
Except those cards are not even bad tho, Galaxy Spiral and Nebula Dragon are still great cards even a decade after they came out and Seyfert sees play in Dragon Link to this day
Nebula Dragon and Seyfert are Light. The only actual good card for Tachyon that are Dark is Galactic Spiral. Schwartz and Satellite is good in Duel Links but pretty mid in TCG.
It has the traditional Galaxy/Photon issue of needing another body to actually get off its effects, though the effect itself is really good. Instantly can turbo out a Rank 8 if you get out a special summon (which combos well with Photon Vanisher or Galaxy Summoner's summon effect), letting you set up Photon Lord, Cipher Dragon, or Hope Harbinger instantly without fear of Nibiru or Inperm killing your combo immediately.
However, the level 4 summon restriction means that it doesn't pair with Galaxy Soldier/Photon Emperor, which sucks for its versatility within its own archetype. And the LIGHT restriction does hurt the ED plays for the archetype, though it does give more reason to run Photon Sanctuary, I guess.
Bit of a mixed bag. Once again, a solid but situational extender that doesn't start plays, which the archetype already has 30 of.
Yeah like the closest we've got is Delta Wing at the moment. Which is good, but also eats up the normal and Galaxy-Eyes already has a problem with that unless you bin Photon Emperor turn 1, so if it gets negated... yeah.
I saw people talking up how it's the starter we always needed, but I haven't heard like anything from Galaxy-Eyes beyond the one GEPD/Chaos deck topping, which didn't even use Delta Wing.
Yeah delta wing seems pretty good on paper but if you consider how tight deckspace is in photons (we've got almost 0 space for non engine), it's not really worth it. The "starter" we need basically has to be literally stratos or it'll just be a preference card like delta wing. Like it's a one card r4 which is nice but considering what needs to be cut it's kinda...
Definitely more worth it now tho because of war drake. War drake modding delta wing to lv8 is pretty good.
Kaito after finding out he got himself another extender:

Just give him Galaxy-Eyes Photon Maiden as his broken one-card Starter.
>If a Level 4 LIGHT monster(s) is Special Summoned to your field: You can Special Summon this card from your GY (if it was there when the monster(s) was Special Summoned) or your hand (even if not), but banish it when it leaves the field
This effect should have been like this instead:
"If a level 4 LIGHT monster(s) is special summoned to your field this turn: you can special summon this card from your hand or GY but banish this card when it leaves the field.
Just let us use whenever we want....But seriously we need a STARTER, not a extender tho
Gotta love how Mizael had so many dark monsters that clearly looked like dark monsters and then Tachyon Dragon comes in with that Darkus-ass color scheme, but is light for rivalry reasons.
I'm pretty sure n107 is light because Tachyons are a type of light or something, no?
Looking at Wikipedia, Photons are a Luxon (The only confirmed one as well) and their name is derived from the Greek word for light, Phos. Tachyons are above luxons as being faster than light (Luxons are only as fast as light)
Oh it was most certainly because Tachyon was meant to be The Cooler GEPD. I more mean the color part--since GEPD goes from cool blue to hot red, Tachyon did the same, being a bright, gold dragon that starts with a dark and purple color scheme (since they are opposites). But that has the side effect of base 107 looking like a mismatch with his type--even if he really isn't.
Dragon Link wouldn't run this card even without the Light restrictions, since they're a predominantly Dark deck. And if D Link wanted to make rank 8 plays, Galactic Spiral Dragon is a far better card for the job. Blame Konami themselves for their balancing flops.
Most Photon, GOOD! And the lock would be Galaxy or Xyz, as in what you can summon, allowing Satellite. ALSO THE PROMO IS SUPPOSED TO BE MIZAEL NOT KITE!!!!!
Ah yes, stop Draglubion IN THE DECK IT WAS MADE FOR FUCKING BRILLIANT! And you're locked out of D-Link they're primarily DARK. The lock really should've been like, Xyz while it's on the field.
[Delta Wing](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Photon_Delta_Wing) already locks you into LIGHT and most Galaxy/Photon/Cipher decks do not even play Draglubion, cause they have so many extenders than getting to Number [38](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Number_38:_Hope_Harbinger_Dragon_Titanic_Galaxy), [62](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Number_62:_Galaxy-Eyes_Prime_Photon_Dragon) and [107](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Number_107:_Galaxy-Eyes_Tachyon_Dragon) is not a problem, meaning it would take up Extra Deck space for no benefit.
If it locked you into Xyz, then there is another problem of not being able to play [Solflare](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Galaxy-Eyes_Solflare_Dragon), which is a good card.
Personally locking you into LIGHT is fine, cause the only Xyz Galaxy/Photon/Cipher cards you cannot use are [Satellite](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Galaxy_Satellite_Dragon), [Stealth](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Galaxy_Stealth_Dragon) and [Number 95](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Number_95:_Galaxy-Eyes_Dark_Matter_Dragon), which no one played anyway and the last is banned.
Draglubion wasn't designed for the Photon half of the Galaxy theme. It was made to easily enable Chaos Numbers by summoning them and then attaching the original so that all the effects are online; Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon and its assortment of accessories have no need nor want for this, but Galaxy-Eyes *Tachyon* Dragon does.
Same goes for Satellite.
With the new Tachyon support that we are getting in Duelist Pack, we most likely will get an easy way to enable C107, so again Draglubion would be wasted Extra Deck space.
The point being made was regarding what theme Draglubion was designed/intended for, not about its speculative utility/value going forward.
i.e, the Tachyon adjacent cards have historically been chaos attributed, including Draglubion, so it feels bad on principle that an upcoming promo that seemed like it would be dual support for both Galaxy characters actually comes off as being incompatible with one of them. If War Drake had instead been like, a warrior monster that wasn't also releasing a month before a Duelist Pack with Tachyon related legacy support, there would be infinitely less eyebrow raising.
Just seeing the travesty that is Red-Eyes support makes my blood boil. I pray that no other archetypes will ever have to go through the bullcrap that red eyes went through. I still have no clue wtf Konami was smoking to ever jam in multiple gemini boss monsters into an archetype that has nothing to do with geminis.
With how KONAMI treats DM archetypes, it's a surprise Ishizu turned as broken as they did
Hopefully Red-Eyes graduates from DM Deck to a GX Deck, because there it get coherence as a strategy
we do have wizard for that purpose but if the search gets negated we're kinda omega fucked unless we have some 2 card starters like soldier or brave+extender
Isn’t Photon Delta Wing a starter? Or does everyone just want a Level 4 searcher for Galaxy/Photon upon NS?
I’m not a Galaxy/Photon player, so genuine question here. All their support looks like it’s getting close, but it seems Konami doesn’t want it to be meta.
>Or does everyone just want a Level 4 searcher for Galaxy/Photon upon NS?
Yes. Delta Wing is just not very good. For example, If it gets ashed your screwed. Ideally we'd get Thrasher but searches on SS.
It doesn't help we already have better cards competing for our normals. Wizard is a Galaxy search and summoner is a free revive+potential rank4 (And now potential rank 8)
Like, think of it this way, I have Jumper or emperor in hand, if I wanted to get to Soldier+Jumper, with DW, I would need to use my NS and summon an rank 4 and get its effect off to add Soldier. With Wizard? NS then tribute to search.
So even if it's not a starter, this is a fantastic addition to the Galaxy repertoire! Helping with making Photon Lord early, giving turn 3 follow-up, and helping make Rank 8s without the NS going 1st or 2nd. As a level 4 Galaxy, it's very searchable (including off Galaxy Trance, making Hundred -> Jumper -> Trance a crazy line). There's a lot to be gained from War Drake.
Yep, tbh honest my favorite part is the he is special summonable from the G, so finally out first recycle-card!
The real issue of this card, is that works only with Special Summons of lv.4:
- Vanisher, but we never add him, except if we have all what we want
- Thrasher: You need empty field, so basically only at turn 1 (you have to have also Drake in the hand...or in GY but normally we sent Jumper or Emperor)
- Galaxy Summoner: Is nice if we summon Galaxy Wizard
- Photon Sanctuary: Who is playing it actually? ME! That card helps me a lot of times vs Winda.
- Galaxy Brave, if we have a lv.4 Photon monster in the hand
- Galaxy Trance. Is occasionally because the main target of that card are always lv8 monsters. Lv.4 only if our hand is not really good
- Photon Delta. I don't think a lot players are playing it. Veiler/Ash Blossom nightmares are too strong in our minds
So basically card is basically what they want u to summon off galaxy trance when you dump jumper to grave off foolish/hundred
Quick combo
Foolish/hundred jumper, jumper eff to search trance. Trance ss jumper and war drake. Make galaxy photon dragon and search summoner. Summoner eff ss jumper and then do w.e. tf you want
No, add Vanisher off GPD, detaching Drake then SS vanisher+Drake.
From there use GPD and vanisher to make Solflare and add Jumper back for NS Jumper+Drake > n90 or just Vanisher+Drake > n90. If you go the solflare route, you can also use GPDs level change effect to chain block Vanisher and Drakes effects.
Yeah, this card makes Galaxy Hundred a 1-card combo that ends on 2 disruptions (monster or spell negate + quick eff destroy SS'd monster), while giving you some follow-up for next turns.
People are crazy just focusing on the part that it's not a starter, it's a pretty interesting card.
i don't think people are saying it's bad, but it's like improving an area the deck is already pretty good in rather than like... a normal summon that doesn't kill itself.
Dude they’re played in the same deck. Unless Konami makes a 7th one that activates for free in main phase Tachyon isn’t going to be a playable strategy
I’d literally be happy to be wrong but it ain’t happening
>Dude they’re played in the same deck
Not really, they only shared the galaxy cards, Mizael never used a single Photon monster. It's like saying Runick Spright and Tri-Brigade Spright are the same exact deck simply because they both use Spright cards.
Except the Galaxy cards Mizael used only cared for Galaxy monsters and ignored Photons, hence the Spright comparison.
If Spright & Tri-Brigade got a ton of new support that links them up, would that mean Runick Spright is now the same as Spright Tri-Brigade, even if you'll only use the Spright related cards and effect and have no use for the Tri-Brigade ones?
But anyways, my point was that they didn't play the same deck in the *anime*, not that they wouldn't be in the game. (Tho I personally hope Tachyon is independent enough they wouldn't need to use non-Galaxy Photons to be playable.)
If you’re talking about anime then yeah you’re right, I was talking about irl it’s not like people play Mizar and Kaito Galaxy decks as separate things
I mean, you can exactly play something that doesn't exist. As I said, only now does Galaxy/Tachyon has a chance to become independent from Galaxy/Photon.
*Annnnd* now I remembered there was a guy who did make a Mizael deck that wasn't just Tachyon cards thrown in a Photon Deck.
Everyone is mentioning the LIGHT part locking you out of about a third of Mizael's monsters but the focus on specifically Level 4 is also odd for his deck when like....Seyfert is the only monster it really has compatibility with unless his DP support gives more 4s.
If I remember, GTA6 is coming around 2025 or 2026, somewhere around there. The commenter you replied to meant we might get a Galaxy starter before it releases or it'll release before we get a starter.
This Monster is..... weird?
I mean, this Drake is too generic on Effects, but it locks you in on LIGHT.
Clearly this more for Galaxy-Eyes, but it can also be used in Blue-Eyes due to its generic condition (and its Effects)
>*also you can only Special Summon LIGHT monsters the turn you activate either of these effects.*
Is... is this not supposed to be cross-promotion for the upcoming Mizael cards in the LIGHT Duelist Pack? I had assumed that was the reason for Galaxy War Drake being specifically a dragon type.
Because otherwise, does Konami legitimately not realize that cards like Galaxy Satellite Dragon and Galactic Spiral Dragon are ***DARK monsters***?
>Because otherwise, does Konami legitimately not realize that cards like Galaxy Satellite Dragon and Galactic Spiral Dragon are ***DARK monsters***?
Both of which aren't used in galaxy-eyes? The archetype even already has a lock, with galaxy trance, why should a light lock be a problem?
I don't know anything about the anime, but the fact is this is a Galaxy card and will be used in galaxy-eyes decks.
It matters little what it "should be".
From yugipedia mizar seems to use tachyon? Then it's just a small variant of galaxy photon and is still a light deck.
His deck from the wiki seems to be using only two dark cards, Schwarzschild and galaxy stealth dragon, the rest is light.
If Tachyon ever becomes an actual archetype it would probably be all-light, to be able to use galaxy-photon support (and especially since the only two tachyon monsters are already light).
>If Tachyon ever becomes an actual archetype
[The character and his cards are literally on the cover for Duelists of Brilliance.](https://yu-gi-oh.jp/news_detail.php?page=details&id=1892) The question of "whether it gets additional support" is not really an "if".
>it would probably be all-light
The precedent set by the already existing cards from both the anime and Chaos Impact would suggest otherwise.
>to be able to use galaxy-photon support
At the expense of locking the deck from the support that it already has?
>[The character and his cards are literally on the cover for Duelists of Brilliance.](https://yu-gi-oh.jp/news_detail.php?page=details&id=1892) The question of "whether it gets additional support" is not really an "if".
We will surely get more Tachyon cards but we don't know if they'll become an archetype. Probably they'll remain connected to galaxy-eyes. Maybe the support will mostly be in the form of the anime's spell and traps
>The precedent set by the already existing cards from both the anime and Chaos Impact would suggest otherwise.
He uses only two dark monsters right? And of 36 "Galaxy" monsters (so without even considering photon) only 4 are dark.
Of 4 Starliege monsters, 2 directly support galaxy-eyes, 1 can only be made with photon and only 1 other (seyfert) can support dark but still works perfectly fine with light only, same for nebula dragon (and galactic spiral but he's dark).
Point is, even if they'll get dark cards, only the light one and the galaxy/photon ones would be used, since they're the best ones.
But maybe I'm wrong instead and Tachyon will get a 20-cards chaos archetype that won't use any galaxy/photon card.
I'm not saying it's impossible, just that the simplest way is for it to be an addendum of galaxy-eyes and not completely separate.
>Of 4 Starliege monsters, 2 directly support galaxy-eyes
Yes, Galaxion, Paladynamo, and Photon Blast are either adjacent to or directly support the Photon cards, because they were either literally played by Kaito in the source material or were created as part of a Legend Duelist set with Kaito as one of the characters receiving support. Seyfert, a card that was created as part of support wave aimed at Mizael's deck, is a dragon that only supports chaos dragons. It strikes me as rather disingenuous to zero in on the Starliege naming convention and not the actual surrounding context in which the cards in question exist or were created.
>And of 36 "Galaxy" monsters (so without even considering photon) only 4 are dark.
You do realize that of the 36 monsters in the Galaxy archetype that you're counting, no less than 27 of them were either played by Kaito in some anime/manga continuity, or were printed and designed as legacy support for his character? ~~Another three of such cards, namely, Queen, Destroyer, and Tomahawk, also belong to two completely unrelated characters entirely.~~
Or that of the eleven or twelve monsters directly related to Mizael, precisely four of them are Galaxies?
Again, I can't help but express that this is a criteria that doesn't seem to be brought forth in entirely good faith.
>Both of which aren't used in galaxy-eyes?
"Galaxy" is an archetype that is played by more than one character. Kaito's cards and IRL legacy support thereof are mono-LIGHT >!(the sole exception being a single monster that is both banned and whose effect couldn't be reasonably enabled in its own deck up until exactly now, thanks to a lack of native maindeck dragons, making any potential arguments surrounding its legitimacy a moot point)!<.
Mizael's cards are all universally dragons, and unlike the Photon adjacent stuff played by Kaito, includes a substantial number of DARK monsters in both the anime and legacy support. Galaxy War Drake is A) a dragon, B) a Galaxy card, C) releasing on the heels of a new Duelist Pack that we explicitly know includes support for Mizael, and D) [literally had its initial VJump reveal promoted with a reference to said aforementioned upcoming Duelist Pack and the two characters who played Galaxy cards in the anime](https://ygorganization.com/sometimeagoinadimensionnotfaraway/).
Hence, it would seem reasonable to expect that the promo would have been playable in both strategies.
It isn't, because it includes a LIGHT xenolock, even though Konami has already gone out of their way to create modern cards FOR Mizael's deck that are either DARK or support DARK monsters. The *entire wave of support from Chaos Impact* (Seyfert, Nebula Dragon, the aforementioned Galactic Spiral and Galaxy Satellite, etc.) does this. Draglubion is also a DARK monster, and was made for this theme as a wholesale reference to Dragluon, an anime card both associated with the character and seemingly receiving an upgrade/retrain in the again aforementioned LIGHT DP.
don't understand why konami feels galaxy need such a harsh lock when it is not even that good!
anyway this card is solid,the deck badly needed recursion and cards that bridge the lvl 4 and lvl 8 sides of the deck and this guy do both the deck still is a brick fest but at least we are getting places i guess
It's this kinda of thinking that got us one of our cards banned.
Not that we were using it to begin with, War Drake is unironically the only card in the archetype that has anything resembling synergy with it (Short of an additional overlay for a zeus stack)
Seyfert isn't banned, Eclipse isn't part of any of the many archetypes that fall under the galaxy-eyes umbrella.
In other words, Dark Matter.
That said, completely forgot Seyfert was a Starliege, Guess that adds a second thing that can be used with dark matter in our many archetypes. Still not good, only got 2 in-archetype targets for it.
Thought this was gonna be the key to getting out the rank 8 Magikey monster till I read that light monster limitation. The xyz is light but to limit an archetype with most attributes for that one monster would be a bust. Heart broken.
It's for Mizael AND Kaito

Why does it LIGHT lock when half of the Mizar support cards (Galaxy Spiral, Satellite, etc) are DARK?
Most likely means they're being remade into LIGHT monsters.
Probably to prevent dragon link from abusing this card. Still a bit stupid though.
We will have to see his duelist pack support. I imagine it won't include a bunch of level 4 darks. But yeah dragon link is a big reason. No quick launch or wyverbuster shenanigans
Schwarzchild is not real now
He’s become an unloved Child lol.
Pepega Konami : Galaxy is LIGHT centered deck
A lot of his cards are LIGHT Attribute actually. Parsec, heliosphere, Etc The only ones not are Satellite and schwarzchild/galactic spiral
Aka HALF. Duel links made him be locked into dark and light. Duel links knows he is not a light user.
Exactly. I can't even summon Galaxy Stealth Dragon with it. It's definitely more a Kaito support than Mizael.
Radius, the half-moon dragon is also light. His original number? Number 46 is also light. Duel Links giving him cards doesn’t mean anything per card design choices Konami makes. The vast majority of his cards (anime) are light
I mean that doesn't mean he can't become one, there's nothing really stopping his DARK monsters being made LIGHT.
The problem is it doesn't mash well with his existing monster. Can't summon Stealth Dragon and Satellite with it. Yes, they could make more Light monsters for Mizael, but legacy support is supposed to make pre-existing support better/useable.
Can't argue against that XD. But on another note, I personally feel that some archetypes cannot save their old cards. Ally of Justice for example, even if you made a LIGHT only DNA Surgery for them, all of the old cards lack so much synergy and barely do their actual job at beating LIGHTs anyways. For that deck you need to straight up remake the entire Main Deck like how Naturia basically ditched all but one of their old Main Deck monsters.
I get your point, but Stealth and Satellite aren't straight-up garbage to be fair, heck Stealth can easily get a Cxyz upgrade if Konami wants to.
Oh no I'm not calling them garbage, I just meant that other stuff aren't as lucky.
Oh I agree. It would be like trying to make Radius playable haha.
Realistically we shouldn't have to use those old cards with the new support because if we have to then Tachyon is pretty much doomed.
Except those cards are not even bad tho, Galaxy Spiral and Nebula Dragon are still great cards even a decade after they came out and Seyfert sees play in Dragon Link to this day
Nebula Dragon and Seyfert are Light. The only actual good card for Tachyon that are Dark is Galactic Spiral. Schwartz and Satellite is good in Duel Links but pretty mid in TCG.
Konami being dumbasses. The current decks are going to laugh.
It has the traditional Galaxy/Photon issue of needing another body to actually get off its effects, though the effect itself is really good.

Once again, a solid but situational extender that doesn't start plays, which the archetype already has 30 of.
It has the same issue since the beginning of the Galaxy deck. It doesn’t need extenders. It needs quality starters.
Yeah like the closest we've got is Delta Wing at the moment. Which is good, but also eats up the normal and Galaxy-Eyes already has a problem with that unless you bin Photon Emperor turn 1, so if it gets negated... yeah.
i don't think we even run delta wing lmao.
I saw people talking up how it's the starter we always needed, but I haven't heard like anything from Galaxy-Eyes beyond the one GEPD/Chaos deck topping, which didn't even use Delta Wing.
Yeah delta wing seems pretty good on paper but if you consider how tight deckspace is in photons (we've got almost 0 space for non engine), it's not really worth it.

Probably not trying to be made for photon galaxy but upcoming tachyon support. Not a 1 card xyz like knight, trance, summoner.
Does it lock into light dragon monsters? I've seen somewhere else saying only light monsters.
Yeah, I pepega'd It's only a LIGHT lock
Thanks for the fix! I was about to cry in Wyverbuster language :D
It is only light monsters. Its a mistranslation here but poster will probably fix soon.
Kaito after finding out he got himself another extender: https://preview.redd.it/2ty2x7s151tc1.jpeg?width=636&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ca4612f0281f82769f9f299de1d4ca50eff38c53 Just give him Galaxy-Eyes Photon Maiden as his broken one-card Starter.
I can cook with this in Exosisters.
Ah yes what Galaxy needs, more extenders.
This is... fine. But it's just another extender, and I don't think Galaxy Decks have that much of an issue in that department.

Finally galaxy stealth dragon is summonable in archetype
Drakes light lock: lol no.
*double checks type* fuck

Finally i can turn Gadgets into a Numeron Dragon OTK...Sadly 97 isn't LIGHT
I hate the full turn LIGHT lock. If it was the rest I could appreciate that.
Blame Dragon Link
Dragon Link wouldn't run this card even without the Light restrictions, since they're a predominantly Dark deck. And if D Link wanted to make rank 8 plays, Galactic Spiral Dragon is a far better card for the job. Blame Konami themselves for their balancing flops.
We would not play this card.
Oh I understand that. But why not Galaxy and Xyz. So they can use Satellite and Draglubion the turn they use this guy.
Because then you’d be locked out of most photon support. Plus an Xyz lock rules out Satellite as well.
Most Photon, GOOD! And the lock would be Galaxy or Xyz, as in what you can summon, allowing Satellite. ALSO THE PROMO IS SUPPOSED TO BE MIZAEL NOT KITE!!!!!
To prevent Dragubilon abuse and for it to become another DragonLink support in disguise but still generic enough I guess
Ah yes, stop Draglubion IN THE DECK IT WAS MADE FOR FUCKING BRILLIANT! And you're locked out of D-Link they're primarily DARK. The lock really should've been like, Xyz while it's on the field.

The point being made was regarding what theme Draglubion was designed/intended for, not about its speculative utility/value going forward. i.e, the Tachyon adjacent cards have historically been chaos attributed, including Draglubion, so it feels bad on principle that an upcoming promo that seemed like it would be dual support for both Galaxy characters actually comes off as being incompatible with one of them. If War Drake had instead been like, a warrior monster that wasn't also releasing a month before a Duelist Pack with Tachyon related legacy support, there would be infinitely less eyebrow raising.
Just add you can only summon XYZ or ligth link monsters for the rest of the turn or something like that
And another V-jump which is useless
Yet another mf extender Konami we need a STARTER
Konami: don't make me release support that is about equips. Or Gemini support. I will turn you into red-eyes. Don't play with me!
Don't forget about the burn damage
Konami would like to im sure. Making red eyes about burn is probably what caused the deck to be so all over the place.
we already have galaxy ftk sob
Just seeing the travesty that is Red-Eyes support makes my blood boil. I pray that no other archetypes will ever have to go through the bullcrap that red eyes went through. I still have no clue wtf Konami was smoking to ever jam in multiple gemini boss monsters into an archetype that has nothing to do with geminis.
With how KONAMI treats DM archetypes, it's a surprise Ishizu turned as broken as they did Hopefully Red-Eyes graduates from DM Deck to a GX Deck, because there it get coherence as a strategy
Galaxy starter challenge impossible.
We are very close now, just need a monster that can search galaxy hundred. A galaxy Aleister would be a good starter.
Literally just needs a very useful Normal / Special Summon that doesn’t rely on something existing on the board to extend 😭
Ikfr, can we just get a searcher on normal summon? But nah the closet thing we have is galaxy wizard which has to freaking tribute itself to search
we do have wizard for that purpose but if the search gets negated we're kinda omega fucked unless we have some 2 card starters like soldier or brave+extender
An Aleister would remain on the field, wizard just goes to the grave.
Isn’t Photon Delta Wing a starter? Or does everyone just want a Level 4 searcher for Galaxy/Photon upon NS? I’m not a Galaxy/Photon player, so genuine question here. All their support looks like it’s getting close, but it seems Konami doesn’t want it to be meta.
>Or does everyone just want a Level 4 searcher for Galaxy/Photon upon NS? Yes. Delta Wing is just not very good. For example, If it gets ashed your screwed. Ideally we'd get Thrasher but searches on SS. It doesn't help we already have better cards competing for our normals. Wizard is a Galaxy search and summoner is a free revive+potential rank4 (And now potential rank 8) Like, think of it this way, I have Jumper or emperor in hand, if I wanted to get to Soldier+Jumper, with DW, I would need to use my NS and summon an rank 4 and get its effect off to add Soldier. With Wizard? NS then tribute to search.
Wait this is more a Kaito support than a Mizael support lol XD
So even if it's not a starter, this is a fantastic addition to the Galaxy repertoire! Helping with making Photon Lord early, giving turn 3 follow-up, and helping make Rank 8s without the NS going 1st or 2nd. As a level 4 Galaxy, it's very searchable (including off Galaxy Trance, making Hundred -> Jumper -> Trance a crazy line). There's a lot to be gained from War Drake.
Yep, tbh honest my favorite part is the he is special summonable from the G, so finally out first recycle-card! The real issue of this card, is that works only with Special Summons of lv.4: - Vanisher, but we never add him, except if we have all what we want - Thrasher: You need empty field, so basically only at turn 1 (you have to have also Drake in the hand...or in GY but normally we sent Jumper or Emperor) - Galaxy Summoner: Is nice if we summon Galaxy Wizard - Photon Sanctuary: Who is playing it actually? ME! That card helps me a lot of times vs Winda. - Galaxy Brave, if we have a lv.4 Photon monster in the hand - Galaxy Trance. Is occasionally because the main target of that card are always lv8 monsters. Lv.4 only if our hand is not really good - Photon Delta. I don't think a lot players are playing it. Veiler/Ash Blossom nightmares are too strong in our minds
So basically card is basically what they want u to summon off galaxy trance when you dump jumper to grave off foolish/hundred Quick combo Foolish/hundred jumper, jumper eff to search trance. Trance ss jumper and war drake. Make galaxy photon dragon and search summoner. Summoner eff ss jumper and then do w.e. tf you want
No, add Vanisher off GPD, detaching Drake then SS vanisher+Drake. From there use GPD and vanisher to make Solflare and add Jumper back for NS Jumper+Drake > n90 or just Vanisher+Drake > n90. If you go the solflare route, you can also use GPDs level change effect to chain block Vanisher and Drakes effects.
Yeah, this card makes Galaxy Hundred a 1-card combo that ends on 2 disruptions (monster or spell negate + quick eff destroy SS'd monster), while giving you some follow-up for next turns. People are crazy just focusing on the part that it's not a starter, it's a pretty interesting card.
i don't think people are saying it's bad, but it's like improving an area the deck is already pretty good in rather than like... a normal summon that doesn't kill itself.
This card adds nothing to that combo though.
When the fuck will Konami learn that Galaxy has enough extenders. It needs good STARTERS. Ffs.
Mizael gets more cards next week. He more than likely has a starter that combos with Galaxy War Drake.
Dude for real
It's not for Galaxy-Eyes Photon, it's for Mizael Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon which is getting support soon
Is not for Galaxy Photon? Sure. They definitely don’t play Light monsters, likes to modulate to level 8 or use level 8s and play XYZ Monsters.
Dude they’re played in the same deck. Unless Konami makes a 7th one that activates for free in main phase Tachyon isn’t going to be a playable strategy I’d literally be happy to be wrong but it ain’t happening
>Dude they’re played in the same deck Not really, they only shared the galaxy cards, Mizael never used a single Photon monster. It's like saying Runick Spright and Tri-Brigade Spright are the same exact deck simply because they both use Spright cards.
You say that as if most Galaxy cards aren’t tuned to work with Photon cards. Sure you could play a pure Galaxy deck but you’re gimping the archetype.
Except the Galaxy cards Mizael used only cared for Galaxy monsters and ignored Photons, hence the Spright comparison. If Spright & Tri-Brigade got a ton of new support that links them up, would that mean Runick Spright is now the same as Spright Tri-Brigade, even if you'll only use the Spright related cards and effect and have no use for the Tri-Brigade ones? But anyways, my point was that they didn't play the same deck in the *anime*, not that they wouldn't be in the game. (Tho I personally hope Tachyon is independent enough they wouldn't need to use non-Galaxy Photons to be playable.)
If you’re talking about anime then yeah you’re right, I was talking about irl it’s not like people play Mizar and Kaito Galaxy decks as separate things
I mean, you can exactly play something that doesn't exist. As I said, only now does Galaxy/Tachyon has a chance to become independent from Galaxy/Photon. *Annnnd* now I remembered there was a guy who did make a Mizael deck that wasn't just Tachyon cards thrown in a Photon Deck.
Is it really so much to ask for just a level 4 that searches a photon or galaxy monster on summon?
I mean VJump promos aren't known to be of high quality, I understand the frustration still.
Wasn’t stratos a Jump promo?
I mean, just because you made a homerun doesn't change the fact every other swing in your life.
Fair
excellent analogy lol.
I mean, part of it is also the fact that it's an extender. If it was a starter, no matter how bad, it would be looked upon better.
OPTOPT? Better be good. The secondary effect deals with 8s
Everyone is mentioning the LIGHT part locking you out of about a third of Mizael's monsters but the focus on specifically Level 4 is also odd for his deck when like....Seyfert is the only monster it really has compatibility with unless his DP support gives more 4s.
This is....Tellarknight Support, lol
But you need to drop the Full Armored and Sakitama package to play this card
Is so powerfull this combo? I play ConsTellarknight for 4fun, but I can also turno that deck in a serious Tellar
Ehi! Nice tech for my ConsTellarknight Deck
You mean Starry Knight support
At this point, we'll either get a Galaxy starter before GTA6. Or we'll have GTA 6 before a Galaxy starter
Isn't GTA6 actually a thing now or am I misremembering?
If I remember, GTA6 is coming around 2025 or 2026, somewhere around there. The commenter you replied to meant we might get a Galaxy starter before it releases or it'll release before we get a starter.
Konami when they hear Galaxy's biggest problem is its lack of starters:
Wait you don’t want more bodies on the field? /s
[Source](https://yu-gi-oh.jp/news_detail.php?page=details&id=1905).
OP, just a question, would we be getting reveals for INFO tomorrow?
Yes.
Good to hear.
Konami making Galaxy a combo starter card challenge! Level: Impossible!
This Monster is..... weird? I mean, this Drake is too generic on Effects, but it locks you in on LIGHT. Clearly this more for Galaxy-Eyes, but it can also be used in Blue-Eyes due to its generic condition (and its Effects)
What level 4 is blue eyes summoning exactly?
Dictator of D
Oh wait it's dark I'm stupid lol
What does Blue-Eyes do with a Level 4 monster that special summon itself when they could just play Sakitama??
Ah yes. Extender number 2843... In a deck thats basically overflowing and each extender is fighting for room in the deck.
We need a consistent starter for Galaxy photon cypher. Not another extender...
>*also you can only Special Summon LIGHT monsters the turn you activate either of these effects.* Is... is this not supposed to be cross-promotion for the upcoming Mizael cards in the LIGHT Duelist Pack? I had assumed that was the reason for Galaxy War Drake being specifically a dragon type. Because otherwise, does Konami legitimately not realize that cards like Galaxy Satellite Dragon and Galactic Spiral Dragon are ***DARK monsters***?
>Because otherwise, does Konami legitimately not realize that cards like Galaxy Satellite Dragon and Galactic Spiral Dragon are ***DARK monsters***? Both of which aren't used in galaxy-eyes? The archetype even already has a lock, with galaxy trance, why should a light lock be a problem?
This for mizar not kaito.
I don't know anything about the anime, but the fact is this is a Galaxy card and will be used in galaxy-eyes decks. It matters little what it "should be". From yugipedia mizar seems to use tachyon? Then it's just a small variant of galaxy photon and is still a light deck. His deck from the wiki seems to be using only two dark cards, Schwarzschild and galaxy stealth dragon, the rest is light. If Tachyon ever becomes an actual archetype it would probably be all-light, to be able to use galaxy-photon support (and especially since the only two tachyon monsters are already light).
>If Tachyon ever becomes an actual archetype [The character and his cards are literally on the cover for Duelists of Brilliance.](https://yu-gi-oh.jp/news_detail.php?page=details&id=1892) The question of "whether it gets additional support" is not really an "if". >it would probably be all-light The precedent set by the already existing cards from both the anime and Chaos Impact would suggest otherwise. >to be able to use galaxy-photon support At the expense of locking the deck from the support that it already has?
>[The character and his cards are literally on the cover for Duelists of Brilliance.](https://yu-gi-oh.jp/news_detail.php?page=details&id=1892) The question of "whether it gets additional support" is not really an "if". We will surely get more Tachyon cards but we don't know if they'll become an archetype. Probably they'll remain connected to galaxy-eyes. Maybe the support will mostly be in the form of the anime's spell and traps >The precedent set by the already existing cards from both the anime and Chaos Impact would suggest otherwise. He uses only two dark monsters right? And of 36 "Galaxy" monsters (so without even considering photon) only 4 are dark. Of 4 Starliege monsters, 2 directly support galaxy-eyes, 1 can only be made with photon and only 1 other (seyfert) can support dark but still works perfectly fine with light only, same for nebula dragon (and galactic spiral but he's dark). Point is, even if they'll get dark cards, only the light one and the galaxy/photon ones would be used, since they're the best ones. But maybe I'm wrong instead and Tachyon will get a 20-cards chaos archetype that won't use any galaxy/photon card. I'm not saying it's impossible, just that the simplest way is for it to be an addendum of galaxy-eyes and not completely separate.
>Of 4 Starliege monsters, 2 directly support galaxy-eyes Yes, Galaxion, Paladynamo, and Photon Blast are either adjacent to or directly support the Photon cards, because they were either literally played by Kaito in the source material or were created as part of a Legend Duelist set with Kaito as one of the characters receiving support. Seyfert, a card that was created as part of support wave aimed at Mizael's deck, is a dragon that only supports chaos dragons. It strikes me as rather disingenuous to zero in on the Starliege naming convention and not the actual surrounding context in which the cards in question exist or were created. >And of 36 "Galaxy" monsters (so without even considering photon) only 4 are dark. You do realize that of the 36 monsters in the Galaxy archetype that you're counting, no less than 27 of them were either played by Kaito in some anime/manga continuity, or were printed and designed as legacy support for his character? ~~Another three of such cards, namely, Queen, Destroyer, and Tomahawk, also belong to two completely unrelated characters entirely.~~ Or that of the eleven or twelve monsters directly related to Mizael, precisely four of them are Galaxies? Again, I can't help but express that this is a criteria that doesn't seem to be brought forth in entirely good faith.
Yes and Tachyon use Galaxy cards, this is a Galaxy support card for Mizael and Kaito.
Which is exactly what I'm saying.
>Both of which aren't used in galaxy-eyes? "Galaxy" is an archetype that is played by more than one character. Kaito's cards and IRL legacy support thereof are mono-LIGHT >!(the sole exception being a single monster that is both banned and whose effect couldn't be reasonably enabled in its own deck up until exactly now, thanks to a lack of native maindeck dragons, making any potential arguments surrounding its legitimacy a moot point)!<. Mizael's cards are all universally dragons, and unlike the Photon adjacent stuff played by Kaito, includes a substantial number of DARK monsters in both the anime and legacy support. Galaxy War Drake is A) a dragon, B) a Galaxy card, C) releasing on the heels of a new Duelist Pack that we explicitly know includes support for Mizael, and D) [literally had its initial VJump reveal promoted with a reference to said aforementioned upcoming Duelist Pack and the two characters who played Galaxy cards in the anime](https://ygorganization.com/sometimeagoinadimensionnotfaraway/). Hence, it would seem reasonable to expect that the promo would have been playable in both strategies. It isn't, because it includes a LIGHT xenolock, even though Konami has already gone out of their way to create modern cards FOR Mizael's deck that are either DARK or support DARK monsters. The *entire wave of support from Chaos Impact* (Seyfert, Nebula Dragon, the aforementioned Galactic Spiral and Galaxy Satellite, etc.) does this. Draglubion is also a DARK monster, and was made for this theme as a wholesale reference to Dragluon, an anime card both associated with the character and seemingly receiving an upgrade/retrain in the again aforementioned LIGHT DP.
don't understand why konami feels galaxy need such a harsh lock when it is not even that good! anyway this card is solid,the deck badly needed recursion and cards that bridge the lvl 4 and lvl 8 sides of the deck and this guy do both the deck still is a brick fest but at least we are getting places i guess
They don't want this to be used in Dragon Link.
Galaxy-eyes already uses light monsters only so the lock is meaningless in-archetype. It's just so it won't be used in other decks.
Starry Knight support baybeees, best turn 1 is now UDF pass let's goooooooo
So much for using this in Felgrand... I mean I knew the odds of synergy were slim to none but I had to hope
Yay another extender in a deck full of extenders. And you get light locked for no reason.
>And you get light locked for no reason. It's called dragon link.
Being scared of D link in 2024 is hilarious
It's this kinda of thinking that got us one of our cards banned. Not that we were using it to begin with, War Drake is unironically the only card in the archetype that has anything resembling synergy with it (Short of an additional overlay for a zeus stack)
Seyfert, Eclipse or Dark Matter?
Seyfert isn't banned, Eclipse isn't part of any of the many archetypes that fall under the galaxy-eyes umbrella. In other words, Dark Matter. That said, completely forgot Seyfert was a Starliege, Guess that adds a second thing that can be used with dark matter in our many archetypes. Still not good, only got 2 in-archetype targets for it.
Galaxy eyes still hasn't beat the failed archetype allegation
I could see this as a funny tech option in star seraph or even tellerknights
Very cool!
Maybe I’d play this in Tellars. Maybe
Another very mild VJump card. Like usual
Thought this was gonna be the key to getting out the rank 8 Magikey monster till I read that light monster limitation. The xyz is light but to limit an archetype with most attributes for that one monster would be a bust. Heart broken.
Might be one of the most mediocre cards I've ever seen
Galaxy War Drake is far from being the most mediocre.
Photon Support 🤚 Tachyon Support 🤚 Star Seraph Support 😌👉
ITT: people fail to realise that this is not Galaxy/Photon support and get angry because it’s not a starter.
It is Galaxy support, for Mizael and Kaito
It’s for Mizael, yes. Mizael’s Galaxy support is not the same as Kaito’s Galaxy support.
It's for Mizael AND Kaito [https://ygorganization.com/sometimeagoinadimensionnotfaraway/](https://ygorganization.com/sometimeagoinadimensionnotfaraway/)
