In the era where verte was splashed into everything, I started wondering if predaplants would actually play it, as I had no idea what predaplant monsters even do. What kind of synergy could it have with the archetype, what kind of plays would you do with its effect. I was really curious about all of that. So I asked a friend who was known for playing plant decks in general. His response? "Yeah, of course you play it! You can make Dragoon with it!"

@DrAiPatch

What's even funnier is Verte is ass in predaplants since all their play starters fusion lock you.

This is one of my favorite aspect of Yu-gi-oh having no rotation. The ceiling for creativity feels really high. You have 20 years of card releases you can dig through to find the one card that has the perfect synergy in the deck you want to play, the card that will potentially give you an edge. And when you put it in application against an opponent who never even knew this card existed, that feeling is worth it.

So here's a very very very odd archetypal card that'd not a monster that sees fringe play in United Noble Knight. Sword of Sparkles, an X-saber equip card that cannot be equipped by anything in the deck, but has the function of being able to tribute a monster on field to put itself back on top of the deck.

The majority of decks that can make him certainly don't use Yang Zing cards as materials if they can get around it helping avoid running more garnets than necessary but for a potentially huge payoff nonetheless.

@@LazurBeemz Not really. I just had one of the best hands ever (Adhara, Ashuna, Vishuda, Taia, Eccelisia, and a drawn Ash Blossom to blank Catty).

They aren't necessarily bad in archetype but only because they're individually strong. SP Little Night annoys me slightly because she doesn't really help S Force any, but she does let them join the coveted ranks of Time Thief archetypes that nobody plays but everyone steals from: Psy Frame Gear Gamma, IP Masquerena, Redoer and now Little Night.

Look, you can pull random cards from a Dragon Link deck, and you'd have a 50% chance any one card is from a different Dragon archetype but finds so much juice there

Shock Troops of the Ice Barrier. Nekroz format staple

So this is a recent one and probably not going to be meta relevant ever. but there's a line using Battlin' Boxer King Dempsey in Crystal Beast to turn any 2 level 4s into Golden Rule via searching and summoning Fire Flint Lady, making isolde, and sending golden rule for Infernoble Knight Renaud. Bonus points: in MD you can do this by going crystal bond for ruby + crystal beast rainbow dragon to backrow, banish to search rainbow dragon + summon emerald tortoise, normal ruby and make MX Saber Invoker for Heroic Challenger Morningstar into Isolde.

Ra Sphere Mode/Kaijus Since Sphere Mode uses your Normal Summon it's more likely played in-archetype, but if you're playing a Kaiju, there's approximately a 99.99999999999999999999999999999999% chance the only Kaiju-specific Spell/Trap you're using is Interrupted Kaiju Slumber. Hot Red Dragon Archfiend King Calamity. If you're playing it, it's because you have Crimson Dragon and are cheating it out to stop your opponent from playing the game on their turn. Granted, it's possible to make those in Red Dragon Archfiend decks, but you see it _outside_ of the archetype *WAAAAAAY* more than in.

Dire with the 12am upload

"WHO IS 'WE'?? YOU SPEAKIN FRENCH?!"

1:25 for me I would use animadorned then if I had baby cerasaurous would destroy it then summon aeolo then go into halq

Surprised Verte and Halq weren't mentioned.

All of the good Hidden Arsenal cards would be my best catch all answer

Emersld Tortoise was added not milled by Rainbow Bridge

The ball of cocaine bit almost Made me spit My coffee lol

My fear is that one day Rainbow Bridge of Salvation will be banned

Shout-Out to putting the Spellbook Engine into Speedroids to help unclog your hands.

Ghostrick Angel of Mischief and Ghostrick Dullahan in Xyz decks that can A) make Rank 1s and 2] want to make Draco Future.

Almiraj is one I thought would appear on this thread.
