The summoning beasts used in the GX anime are used to easily summon raviel, uria and hamon, however because the are not special summoned correctly, u cant revive them with hyper blaze's second effect, only add them to the hand, however hyper blaze and cerulian skyfire help with uria and hamon respectively because u can use face down traps and spells

Actually Uria doesn't need Continuous Traps to summon it, just faceup Traps. It only gains attack from Continuous Traps in the graveyard. So you can send Traps that equip themselves to monsters to summon it, you just will only gain 1000 from Continuous

My brother actually managed to make good use of Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder. He ran a Crystal Beast deck, which made summoning Hamon easier because Crystal Beasts in your spell and trap zone count as continuous spell cards.

I use dystopia in my kuriboh deck, stalling using all the different kuriboh effects, the reviving them with kuribohrn and then sacrificing them for dystopia, the u can use its effect banishing a kuriboh from gv

Dystopia isnt as hard as summon as you think he actuslly easy to summon with duston. Now if you said Zushin the sleeping giant that way harder then dystopia. Ti summon zushin you need a face up lv 1 normal monster on the field then keep that level 1 face up on your field for 10 turns.

Best way for the Sacred Beasts, D/D/D. You have fiends, continuous traps and spells. Make the right deck, it'll be easy for them to be summoned. I have one and I've dueled against my friend with that deck and won

Old boss monsters required a lot of setup and investment to basically bringing out a beat stick with little to no protection. They where good trade bait when I was a kid. Although nowadays you can summon like 3 boss monsters that can't destroyed or targeted by card effects with an omni-negate each. Not sure which is better.

Yeah old boss monsters can be kinda hard to get out but if you were a kid and got one out, it will such a great feeling. The Sacred Beast were pretty awkward but Raviel wasn’t to bad. I ran him as a 1-of in a Dark World deck. Actually took him to a Regional and he helped me win a couple games. Sometimes a massive beat stick is really all you need. He worked surprisingly well against Dragon Rulers.

I'm sure there's a way to summon the obedient fiend with his effects negated but can't think of any card right now

The og Union fusion monsters of vwxyz. They got a lot of support over the years, but if you tried playing them in gx/5ds era, then running a bunch of weak vanilla monsters and not being able to run poly cause of "must first be special summoned" was crazy difficult

Dystopia besides the sacred beasts here seems pretty reasonable to use actually. There’s a few mass level changing effects you can use to cheat it out, otherwise there are a few archetypes that probably work for it

Technically Uria just says three face up traps. So you could probably cheese it IRL by simply setting and activating 3 traps, then before they get sent to the graveyard, using them to summon Uria. No point to doing this, though.

Those boss monsters aren't bad if you play skill drain.

They're easy af to summon with their support

Uria always had a cool, Dark Souls like name. The other two did as well but his was the coolest sounding imo. Thankfully, you can cheat out the Sacred Beasts. Although I did find Uria easier to bring out through its condition with a full trap monster build using tech cards like Qardran. The Clear Sighted and Pharonic Advent (Hyper Blaze is live in these kinds of builds too).

You forgot my favorite, Holactie the Creator of Light, summoning this card is an automatic win condition for the duel, but in order to summon it you have to tribute from the field the following cards: Obelisk the Tormentor, Slifer the Sky Dragon, and the Winged Dragon of Ra.

The 3 GX god cards and Ultimate Obedient Fiend are the only 2 I recognize

Dystopia is easy to summon in a piper chaos deck. The real problem is that it's not worth it.

Hamon actually fit into crystal beast quite well, since instead of going to the graveyard they become continuous spells.

Dystopia was my 2nd win con in my lyralisc deck during that one XYZ festival were their allowed flying C for the first day.

The Sacred Beast were always pretty easy to summon specially if you build a deck around stalling. And having four level ones I think you can easily do that with token monsters🤔 because at one time I was told by a judge at scapegoats can be used for Ritual summons or any summon that isn't a tribute summon.

I never understood how Yugi-oh could make a boss monster so hard to summon and then the year later make one even more powerful that is so easy to summon as part of a game winning chain of cards that it reliably can win turn three.

You're wrong about dystopia it is very easy but not consistent because you can't search it in kuriboh decks. Using one for one or flute of summoning kuriboh will help especially with kuribohrns effect going off. There's also token generators. The only difficult thing is to protect your monsters and also have a great hand. It's not consistent like I wished it were but using a kuriboh deck I've been able to summon him many times allowing my victory of course in a casual setting. Also like many other cards all it takes in one card to make it a threat.

Rocket Arrow Express is meant to just be a stall tactic. A stupidly thick wall on turn 1 if you otherwise brick your opening hand. As for Dystopia, it’s not difficult to summon at all. Just use a deck of Kuriboh cards (including Flute of Summoning Kuriboh to special summon up to 3 from the deck in one turn), along with Relinquished. All those cards came out years before Dystopia. Throw in other spells and traps to protect your LP and special summon stuff, and then it’s just a case of needing Dystopia in your hand.

Sacred beasts are easy to summon within the archetype. You can get 2 on the field first turn with just a 2 card combo. And it ends up with a field spell that has a once per turn pot of greed effect and prevents the sacred beasts from being destroyed or targeted by card effects

Sacred Beast: Not actually that hard Dystopia: *Modern Yu-Gi-Oh! exists* Rocket: Um why... Ult Obedient: "Oooo my gawd wat da hel- "

Rocket arrow express is not a boss monster. In the anime it was literally a one turn wall and IRL I used it with knight express night to make the rank 10 XYZ trains that were the real bosses

I used dystopia in a kuriboh deck on master duel. It was really fun! The deck is literally just stall till you can summon one of many boss monsters

Uria Insanely diff to summon, Also Uria = Chaos Summoning beast Effect > summon Uria. Done. INSANELY HARD!!!

I have a sacred beast deck and there actually pretty easy to summon and there op i just need a chaos summoning beast to special summon raviel or hamon and when chaos beast goes to the graveyard i can banish it to get fallen parafise from my deck which is both a free pot of greed every turn and it make all the sacred beats on the field unaffected by effects

>Three turn setup >Man Eater Bug/Fissure (since there are often no other monsters on your field) I REALLY miss the good ole days guiz.

With the fire meta rn i think dystopia is definetly possible but not optimal

Raviel and hamon were easy to summon. Hamon in crystal beasts and Raviel using scapegoat plus dna surgery or using giant germ.

I actually used dystopia the despondent a lot back when I ran my kuriboh deck. Pretty easy to get out first time with kuriboh support

Raviel was actually kinda easy to get out. Stuff like Giant Germ existed, and Fiends imo have always been a solid monster type.

The point of Boss Monsters back then was to not break the game and OTK the moment they got on the field. So they needed perfect conditions to end the game or at least another turn or two to get them their conditions met.

rocket arrow was still nice to make a quick rank 10 or just set up a wall, and Uria was actually kinda sick for mist valley falcon/zephyros type strats

Zushin called he wants his title back. Level 1 normal monster with 20 Zushin counters on it. There is a strat but it bricks harder then Marnarchs. Also A Wild Monster Appears makes Bosses easy to summon at a cost.

Despondant works really well with kuriboh so has become a good niche monster

All the sacred beast can easily be summoned using a lv 1 monster that allows for you to tribute it and summon one of them from ur hand for free then search their field spell which was protection and a pot of greed every turn

I remember using Hamon with Crystal Beasts back in the day in Yugioh Online. That was my way of getting it on the field.

Ultimate Obedient Fiend was good, as long as you were playing Junior Journey at least.

Dystopia is super simple to summon in kuriboh deck ! We can have it turn 1 literrally

Wait, uria and hamon could be summoned with face down spell/traps in the anime. They made it quite a big deal.

Uria had an OTK and Obelisk was not that difficult since Soul Exchange, Snatch Steal, and Brain Control were staples at that time.

I made a deck around Ultimate Obedient Fiend. It usual won pretty good, but had occasional inconsistencies

Made a kuriboh deck with dystopia in master duel, a meme deck maybe but played with a friend who made his own kuriboh deck with a diff boss monster game was slow and last for 35 turns

Let's face it, Hamon benefitted with Crystal Beasts, and Raviel can work in a pure fiend deck. While equip traps and monster traps also qualify for the special summon.

Rocket arrow express was meant to get put Gustav max which doesn't need to attack to do damage

So be fair, Uriah can be summoned with trap monsters, making him a staple in Paleozoics or other trap-heavy decks, Fiends aren’t hard to special summon so Raviel should be no issue. Only Hamon with continuous spells should be really difficult to summon I feel

These boss monster were supposed to be the ultimate balance in early game whereas you have to trade off absolute power for some disadvantages.

I know a guy who plays sacred beasts. He summons both Raviel and Hampn in one turn. It stupid easy with the right cards. Generally our duels go back and forth on winner though so not unbeatable by any means

Dystopia the despondent needs 5 levels to sacrifice to summon, it’s impossible Kuriboh and his brothers: am I a joke to you

Dystopia is difficult to summon. But my friend made a joke deck that uses pendulums and snake eyes to fill his whole board with level 1s just for that crazy thing. Its actually pretty funny

Not saying you should, but you could probably throw the Yugioh GX Sacred Beast Egyptian God wanna be's in D/D/D. Alternatively, the Obelisk one in Dark World, and the Ra one in Crystal Beast. Can't think of continuous trap decks right now, except trap monsters/paliozoic.

There is a way to easily summon lord of striking thunder it is easy put it in a crystal beast deck. That way when the crystal beats says destroyed they become continuous magic cards and and you can summon it easy.

With pendulum summoning dystopia is easy as hell to get out now

a Kuribo/Relinquished deck can summon Dystopia even on a flrst turn and its AMAZINGLY fun to use

well for the most part old school yugioh was trying to keep power creep under control unlike now where its 50 plus summons to get 5 big monsters out

That last one could be ok in a infernity deck cuz look mom no hands 🙌🏼 😂

Dystopia, there is but one simple solution… Dustons.

Funnily a Kuriboh-deck is able to pump out Dystopia pretty easily and consistently all things considered😂

Anyone still remember the ultimate sphinx? You needed two level 8 cards that had different ways of summoning and a special ritual i think, for a 6500 attack monster.

dystopia is easy with lyrilusc, kuriboh, or treasure panda decks

I remember saccing for Raviel and then banishing the sacs for Dark Necrofear and then normaling Snipe Hunter and clearing my opponent's board.

I really forgot about this boss monzters for sure would like them about in a Final Fantasy game

I mean, dystopia could theoretically see play in snake eyes decks due to how many level 1s there are in it

Dystopia 4 Level 1 Monsters to Special summon that's easy. I mean how often had Joey in the Anime 4 Level 1 Monsters one the field that you can Tribute for everything except normal summoning.

The sacred beasts never were a problem to summon for me I just didn't like the attack restrictions on the first turn

I'm glad most new boss monsters can be splashed into any deck while providing a negate or two just by coughing loudly. It totally didn't break the game to the point of making almost 1/3 of the cards (traps) completely redundant.

I actually use dystopia the dispondant in a deck I have made from the kuri and Kuriboh archetype. Kuriboh is my favorite card family.

I used to run an all-trap deck back in the day. It was mostly a stall burn thing, until I thought about adding this card lol

Hamon was pretty easy to summon you should use it for Crystal beast deck. having three continuous traps is not hard either.

You see, back then there where no synchro, link, ritual nor xyds monsters. So literally the only way to summon anything was trough normal summon with monster tribute or special effect and usually the effects also didn't allowed you to summon anything stronger back then. Is not the boss cards that where nerfed, the whole game was nerfed. I miss those days, back then the game was actually fun.

i use dystopia in a kuiboh deck and i love it. suuuper easy to get onto the field.

i used rocket arrow express in a kuriboh deck n just discarded it n used it for baby tiragon berserker crush silliness that's unironically probably its best use

I run dystopia with the kuriboh archetype and it kinda works

idk why but i love old lvl 10+ boss monsters for some odd reason.
