Some other decks that Jaden could play are Inzektor, Bujin, and Vanquish Soul. Though it's a stretch to call the first two modern decks, they all have a colorful cast of monsters like Heros. For Syrus, Geargia and Wind-Up have the goofy machine aesthetic like Vehicroid. Alexis could probably play something like Swordsoul or Voiceless Voice. Mikanko might be a decent deck for Blair to use as a modern equivalent for Maiden In Love. And Crowler could play Machina due to the similar aesthetic of "militaristic machines with beefy mechs as their boss monsters". Citadel even has the same attribute and attack as Golem.

So for Jaden, I always thought a world chalice deck would suit him pretty well. A deck with heroes who combine to become stronger extra deck monsters. Instead of meeting the Neo Spacians during the society of light arc, he could’ve met the Mekk-Knights instead. Instead of evil heroes, he would have the Knightmares.

Wait what about the XYZ card he use?

Syrus I think would work with Gold Pride. It just feels right. I actually would give Chazz Spright as his "main" deck. A big part of why he shuffles his decks around but keeps Ojama as a core is because of their versatility and ability to splash in his other strategies, and Spright seems up his alley since it can be combined with "literally any set of Level 2 focused decks." And it keeps his Thunder themeing. Alexis I would probably go for Mikanko, a large part of her GX decks are that she has some cards that are based on dancing and gymnastics but the Cyber Angels are Ritual monsters based on Shinto gods. So why not Mikanko, a Ritual Deck that is based on Shinto priests and involves dancing? Blair just for the Tag Force reference is mandatory to play Lightsworn. Banner being all about alchemy I could see getting Eldlich, since that also is an alchemy deck. Or Invoked could work if the concept is to match his ideal of being an occultist seeking knowledge, and you wanted to focus on a versatile strategy with multiple attributes. Darkness, I want to say Shaddoll. In terms of his philosophy of individualism bringing suffering, play style involving set cards, and in-story abilities of possession, Shaddoll seems like a good fit.

Ancient Warriors would be very entertaining and flashy.

They also would fit Jaden's honorable hero's journey/story arc style and personality. Every game would feel unique and fun to watch.

Kaiser: Don’t make me pull out my full power Kashtira

I think Blair Flannigan's best deck would be Mikankos as they are all about taking control of opponents monsters and using equip cards I really like the libromancer pick for Jaden tho great video!

Unchained actually fits Yubel super well in my opinion. Great vid as always

Bastion wrote equations on cards, he would definitely go for Mathmechs. And thunder dragon is perfect for Chazz when you consider that in japanese there is kind of a thing with "Manjoume thunder".

I never thought about Drytron being Zane’s deck but that does make a lot of sense. Bc of the card design of the Tenpai dragons, and that they’re a going second beatstick heavy deck, I had an idea that Zane would play Tenpai. Also I really wish Cyber Dragon got support in Duelists of Brilliance. Oh well…

Thunder dragon feels right for a Chazz serious deck. But I definitely was thinking sky strikers for Alexia surprised you picked that!

I love that you guys give them completely brand new decks instead of just 2024 upgrades to the decks that they have in the anime like other channels. Really great work, guys. 💚👍🏾👏🏾

Fur Hires also come to mind for either Jaden or Jesse; I’ve always found the card art for them to have a lot of personality as if you could see each one of them being a Duel Monster Spirit, and Beat (or Filo) specifically feel like they occupy a similar “cute small monster mascot” niche to Winged Kuriboh or Ruby Carbuncle. Plus, their strategy really pushes swarming the field and obtaining beneficial effects from being together, so they really feel fitting towards Jaden/Jesse’s ideas of friendship and teamwork.

@salltukin7441

2 ай бұрын

I was just gonna comment on this! At least Jesse seems more likely to run a fur hire deck (totally not biased as my main deck is in fact, fur hires)

I genuinely appreciate how you take the effort and go the extra mile to figure out what deck they'd play instead of just going with the easiest copout answer anyone could come up with

Darkness, the big final boss, used a basically all trap deck, and would set 5 every turn with a 0 and Infinity and card, I definitely think lair of darkness is fitting but I would almost prefer if he could use some of the ZARC stuff, since he's supposed to be a manifestation of everyone's self doubts and existentialism about the future

Alexis would get Ursarctic and Drytron from me. She has that Cyber-Theme with her original Deck, so some more Machines and Ritual Monsters that go into the future with Synchro's fit really well.

I love these picks! Also thank you for playing the Amber Mammoth clip. 😂

Banner's overall theme is alchemy, which means his best match would be Eldlich - the Eldlixir cards reference the same alchemical process some of his anime-only cards do, plus being zombies nod towards his inproperly-alive status.

So much thought went into this. Really enjoyed the video!

Imagine if Konami took an actual game from a YCS or worlds or something, and gave the two decks to a couple characters and went and fully animated the entire duel. Like imagine a full power spright vs tearlament matchup, or the dragon link vs swordsoul game of 2023 worlds. Even if it's just one game from the match, that'd be so sick imo.

That intro though haha. Staring right into my soul.

Such a neat concept :)

Awesome!! Looking forward to the inevitable 5Ds video lol

Hey Paul, would love to see an Ashened deck duel! A bunch of us Dark Souls fans got interested in yugioh again because of the really cool theme. Keep up the great work guys!

The only thing that I would change is for Sartorius to have Spellbooks/Prophecy. Your uploads always bring a smile to my face. Thank you.

I really like this idea, it makes me wanna see a short anime series of the previous Protagonists doing this

Shame that there probably won't be Modern Deck vids on Zexal, Arc-V or VRAINS since Paul and Alec have admitted to not watch much of those shows... Totally unrelated video series idea for APS Amplifier: Paul and Alec react to Zexal, Arc-V and VRAINS! (If it's too much, I'll settle just for Zexal since it's peak)

I think you guys are awesome, by the way. I'd love to see you some more duels.

Great sound editing to include the GX soundtrack in the video

Love these types of videos

NGL I love how incredibly knowledgeable you are about yugioh overall but I just like hearing your voice say nerd things I love thanks for being you and making videos

I really like the idea of Chumley using Melffys. Especially with their very pastel watercolor-ey art style and Chumley's affinity for card art/design.

I really liked the hypotheses, it would be cool if you posted the decks for us to test. I love the videos on your channel

This is the earliest I’ve been

Hopefully this series continues I'm enjoying it

If they make another Legacy of the Duelist type game, it'd be awesome if they had "challenge decks" like this for every character, like they did in that game but more competitive.

@blunk778

I wish, master duel makes too much money

Let syrus play ANY deck at this point. Vehicroids are such an unserious and unthreatening group of monsters lol

I got started into Yugioh recently because my girlfriend played long ago. So I chose ancient warriors and only playing them. They're such a beautiful and wonderful archetype. Thanks for adding them into this video! I'm biggest Ancient Warriors fan!

Jessie could also play snake-eyes with flamberg dragon replacing crystal beast dragon and the mechanic of putting cards in face up spell and trap zones like the crystal beasts

I kinda like Heroic Champions deck for Judai. Especially since he loves dueling with less than 500 life points most of the time lol. Also has a high chance for OTK and when Judai came back from fusing with Yubel he had a couple of OTKs. Also Heroic has Hero in it lol.

Cyrus should've been rescue ace. It's a deck that prevent things blowing up bigger than needed but at the same time it has the capacity to go toe to toe with them and fits alot into his growth from being very non combative and timid to the more willing to start standing up and believe in himself

I think Paleozoics makes more sense for Jim because they are basically fossils as well. I like your picks alot. Also Bastion has played Magnet Warriors at some point. So he could have modern magnet warrior/ABC? Not sure about that one

I don’t know why but Eldlich is came up my mind when u mention ancient golem. I think crowler can use eldlich, he also use trap monster like stuff and he have his ace fusion card.

Ahhhhhh thank you for doing this. This is my favorite series. 🥰

I saw that Amber Mammoth coming and i still almost spat out my drink lol

Blair would probably play Madolche or other cute stuff. During her second showing she used a Mystic Deck and in the games she just played Lightsworns.

I think that another Deck for Sartorius that could technically work is Spellbook, since their monsters are also named after Tarot cards, like the Arcana Force

I wold give Jaden a modern ninja deck

I'd have love to see everyone's updated deck being ran. This works too

Jim Cook can also go in to the reptile side for another deck. It would be nice for Shirley to even be truly in card form too, because does "Dark Alligator" truly reference her? I still use it in my DL decks with Whip Snake and Swingobra for triggering its token summon effect.

Cant wait for the 5DS episode!!

Going for Armed Dragon (Thunder) to Thunder Dragon is such a perfect fit.

Fun fact, Vendread story takes place in hero city, were the E-Heroes and the others are

i would love to see this for every main cast up to Vrains but PLEASE make a video like this for YGO 5Ds!!

Sartorious' best choice imo is Qli, they're based on Kabbalah iirc and that was the same base for the Arcana, if I'm remembering Persona 3 right lmao. They also have that final boss vibe and godly being aesthetic. Apoqliphort Towers felt like a legit anime boss whenever I had to take that down back in the day.

I was thinking Libromancer worked for Jaden, and I think that giving Aster a ritual deck makes that a stronger pick! I feel like a case could have been made for Syrus to get Infinitrack and for Crowler to get something else, but I admittedly can't think of something better for Crowler, so it's whatever. If you want to keep the Tarot theme for Sartorius, you could give him Prophecy/Spellbook!

When you started talking about Alexa I immediately thought Sky Striker's. Seeing the same conclusion a minute later made me happy, lol.

Woohoooo Lair of Darkness mention! Final boss energy, I love it. There's actually a vast number of tribute-based spells and traps, so Lair can get very vicious with even the modern meta.

I like the Vendread choice for Aster. Fits him well

I think that Professor Banner would definitely play Invoked. The banished theme is still there, along with the concepts of the occult

Can't wait to see what you do with arc v characters

For Sartorius i will go with the Prophecy/spellbooks archetype. Both the prophecy and the arcana force are based on the tarot cards. Besides with his hability to see the future or make "prophecies" is quite fitting

Now I wonder what modern decks 5ds characters would use

I immediately thought of vernasylph for jesse, i think it fits him while also having a big payoff similar to crystal beasts, not very thematically related but more playstyle related

Infinitrack with Crowler is perfect.

I would like to throw Memento into the ring as a contender for Chazz's deck because of the times when he used both an underworld-related deck (Mementos are based in the Aztec afterlife with their boss cards) and the times when he was relying on "junk" cards to win duels since Memento is based almost entirely on vanilla monsters that have been thrown to the wayside.

These were definitely some amazing new modern decks for the GX crew. Can’t wait to see what new modern decks for the 5Ds crew.

honestly im surprised you didn't give Blare Dragonmaids tbh. Using powerful maids that then turn into dragons just seems right to me. And they are fusions so totally fits GX's theme

I agree Jaiden would run elementsabers, but it misses the fusion part of the e-heroes. So I think his “neos” upgrade would be the invoked archetype (although I could also see that being the supreme kings’s deck with the using other’s cards maybe with a kaiju base to the deck.)

Funny that you end op droping this video today, because just two days ago i watcht your part one with the DM chareckters, and i loved it better than all the other versions of this topick, that other Yugi tubers had made, to the point that i thought, this guy does it better than the others, that has tacklet it, thoug if i could give one critic thoug, it would be that you dont alwas show artwork of the archtypes you put on the charekters, wich can end op with me thinking “what was that archtype again” F.eks in the last video you gave the Paradoks brothers an archtype i dident know, and couldent find when seartching on KZread, thoug you missed to do it only a few times, so the critic isent that Big, also maybe fore your next “what alternative modern decks would these charekter’s play video” you could do the rest of the DM chareckters you dident cover. Chareckters you missed like • Mako Tsunami • Duke Devlin • Panik • Rebecca Hawkins Viertual World charekters like • Noah • Gozaburo • The Big five Avakening of the dragons charekters like • Datch • Raphael • Valon • Alister And the turnament arc before the final Arc (dont remember its name) • Zigfried • Leon I get why you dident cover Thea and Tristan, there not really duelist.

I think the Libromancers would've made more sense for Jaden. It's like an alternate timeline where he chose a different comic to read (in terms of that theme)

I like the idea of jessee playing kuribohs

2:58 - Saying that bastion probably would play mathmech feels so right man, it just makes so many sense that no one could tell you that you are wrong. (Also mathmech is my favorite deck so i jsut happy to see them in the video)

The Tag-Force music brings me back.

Hey, are we going to see a 5-Ds video soon because I want to see what you get for each character

Dr Banner, when he finally dueled, had an alchemist vibe to him. I feel like spell counter or spellbook would be a cool deck, cause they are both themed around magical study and alchemy is kinda like that.

I thought of a funny idea for Zane's deck was Dinomorphia, due to...the shock collar

I feel like the Evolsaur archetype was made specifically to emulate Hassleberry's playstyle, he loved evolving winged beasts and reptiles into dinosaurs

Can't wait to see your 5D's picks.

You could have done Sotorious and the Spellbook deck. They also have the tarot card thing going on too

This may sound weird, but I think Dream Mirror might work for Sartorius with his whole "Light and Dark" thing.

And like Vendreads, the Edgey Anti-Hero will be put down to the ground faster than you can say “what the r f***?!”
