No, if only their mechanic works from the grave and are also able to tribute monsters from the field like their Drytron counterparts. Literally a small fix like that would make the deck way better.

The only thing that I got out of this failed cards video was that I should start building BearhasBears. Fun Fact: Ursarctic is redundantly named. Ursa being Bear Arct being also Bear And Arctic means “Has Bears” unlike how the Antarctic “Doesn’t have Bears” In other words. “Bears have Bears” Another Fun Fact: the reason Ursarctic Randomly crossed over with Drytron is because the Constellations the Archetypes are named after ACTUALLY cross over into each other.

Not quite cross over, they're just bordering. The Ultimate Flagship references the procession of the equinox, which connects them via the movement of the North Celestial Pole through both constellations. Idk what Bright Knight is though

Ursarctics are related through the Drytrons through the actual celestial constellations in the far northern sky. Drytrons are based on constellations in the sign Draco, and the ursarctics are based on Ursa minor and major, which are directly next to Draco. I think it's amazing Konami made support for both archetypes, even if it sucks.

​@@CrnaStrelathat's a reference to another Astronomical phenomenon, called the "procession of the equinox", i.e. the slow drifing of the Earth's North Celestial Pole relative to the stars. The Ursarctics appear to have "won" only because the NCP moved from Draco (closest to Thuban, aka Alpha Draconics) to where it is now, near Polaris, in Ursa Minor. Procession is a circle though, so in the future, the NCP will leave Ursa Minor, and in the much further future, it will in fact return to Draco.

@xCorvus7x

7 ай бұрын

This also screws the deck itself over, -since none of its Synchros count as properly summoned.- Correction: if you bring out an Ursarctic Synchro by its described method, it is considered properly summoned. However, these monsters are considered _only_ special summonable by their described method because that method doesn't read „must _first_ be special summoned...“ but only „must be special summoned...“, and since it only describes how to summon them from the Extra Deck, they'll just stay in the graveyard or the banished zone once they get there. Monsters like this are called Nomi monsters and other examples are LV monsters such as Armed Dragon LV10 or Horus, the Black Flame Dragon LV8. The only way to summon such monsters back from the grave or from being banished would be an effect that ignores summoning conditions (such as Level Modulation) but even that only works if they had been properly summoned before they were banished or sent to the graveyard.

This is one of those archetypes that actually translated well to Duel Links and were pretty good even without their new support. It had several things going for it: - Smaller decks made drawing Radiation and Departure more likely - Yusei had a skill that allowed you to discard a lvl 2 or lower machine or warrior to search a synchron. Discard any level 1 synchron to get Synchron Explorer which let you summon Polari with 1 card consistently. - On the topic of the previous skill, it had another ability to cheat out Shooting Quasar Dragon if you can summon Stardust Dragon, giving the deck a threating endgame - The lack of Ash Blossom makes it hard to kill the deck turn 1 - It came out in a period where Orcusts were everywhere, and Septentrion could shut down that deck So surprisingly, Ursatrics were good (albeit bricky) in that game and was even tiered in DLM

*Note: Polari says "activate "..." from the deck", not add to the hand, so the card can't be Ash'ed.

As an Ursarctic player, i know the deck has some short comings. I'm still holding out that theyre missing some members to round out their team to have 7. The level 8s are just a transformed version of their level 7 counterparts. And the level 7 synchros are the level 8s after being amped by Polari's energy. So that means they could get a third synchro monster for the third bear. And to be that guy.... 118 days since last Ursarctic support.

Wanted to add this to mention some mistakes. Mikpolar searches Ursarctic Monsters, not cards. Miktanus adds an Ursarctic Monster from the GY to hand, not special summon them. Though that would make it better, or adding any Ursarctic card in GY to hand. Polari directly activates Big Dipper from the deck, not add it to hand. So I don't think it can be Ash'd Big Dipper's Change of Heart effect can be activated by you, not just your opponent.

Funnily enough, Ursarctics are played with Yusei in Duel Links to go into Shooting Quasar Dragon with his skill.

It should also be mentioned that the Ursarctic/Drytron collaboration also don't work because both archetypes gives the user a restriction that hampers the other archetype that they are supposed to work with. Ursarctics makes it so you can only special summon monsters with levels, and drytron have a XYZ monster which is necessary for there combos and protection. Drytron gives a restriction to where you can only special summon monsters that can't be normal summoned or set, which locks ALL of the main deck Ursarctics, and therefor turns them into bricks. both decks combo potential hinders the other for no reason. plus the cards that work with both archetypes, work better for Ursarctics then Drytron, due to the monsters being too high level or Drytron already having similar cards or effects that work better for them.

I think Bright Knight Fake Alpha works in Ursarctic mostly because of Mikpolar; it allows the deck to put a body on board to fulfill Fake Alpha's activation condition while pulling the Fake Alpha out of the Deck where it can be used. By contrast, Drytron has some 6 cards it can use to pull a name out of the deck and *none* of them are capable of getting it into a meaningful position. Half of them can't even find it in the first place because it's level and attribute are out of whack for Drytron, and the other half either put it in the GY where it's effect is unuseable, or special it straight to the field where it's effect also cannot be activated (that one is also the only spell worth searching in Drytron, and is a hard once per turn, so even if it did activate it wouldn't be that helpful). Ngl this card makes me irrationally miffed lol

I literally used this as a cheap level 7 option for Kashtiras in master duel. Unironically, I prefer to normal summon the level 7 BES monster because it’s better than using the ursarctic

Is there a possibility that you can do "GIMMICK PUPPETS" at some point? (Used to play and love the deck back in the day, but man! This archtype got some problems) 1. You are mostly locked to only using gimmick puppets with dready doll 2. Magnet doll need your opponent to have a monster on the field, so if you start, then its a brick card 3. With the lock to only puppet monster there are usually only the play with 2 out of the 3 puppet xyz (the rank 8 ones) 4. You cannot do much with the string counters mechanic (why are they even there if its only for 1 Cxyz monster) 5. Non of the effects are quick effects, so basically they can be countered pretty easy 6. The protection with the baby and the other doll arent really big for the time they came out - but gigantes doll is nice :) 7. Most of the printed gimmick puppet monster were so bad, that one was only used for locking your opponent and not in gimmick decks and the cards like the trojan puppet or the joker never saw actually big play 8. The gimmick spell and traps are mostly underwhelming 9. In duel links they would see a useful amount of play since they burn your opponent and you have only 4000 LP but for the regular card game they do not enough damage 10. LEO!!!!! I mean, what were they thinking??? 11. For your gimmick puppet plays you have to go minus in card advantage a lot of the time :( and the endboard isnt that great at the end 12. WHAT IS EGGHEADS PROBLEM? CANT YOU JUST BE NORMAL? 13. I waited a 100 years for some gimmick Support, but the konami guys have forsaken me :,( P.s: i remebered that during this time they also banned the only good rank-up spell card (i think it was silver chaos, the one you get back from the graveyard).

Now that Mr. Logs made this video Ursarctics would get new support

For those who understand the connection between Drytron and Ursarctic,. if I could remember fully,. The main characters on the OCG Structure deck manga are mainly using those archtypes..The main protagonist is primarily using the Ursarctic while his rival is supposed to be the Drytron player.

Couple of correction for the beginning. Miktanus adds ursarctic from gy to hand dosent Special summon and polari activates big dipper from deck and dosent add to hand

Theoretically, if you can summon Polar Star, and have Ursarctic Drytron in GY, you can turbo out Septentrion/Grand Chariot with added Fusion/Synchro SD for your opponent. Generically, no lock, three total card slots. Polar Star stays as further material options.

Their artworks are really cool!

Ursarctic Lore Video? Please and Thank You. I'm sure that has something to do with why Urs and Dry were seemingly forced together.

I would love to see a video that talks about ogdoadic. While nowhere near as bad as ursartic it would be great to see you talk about the archetype and its synergy with the other reptile decks along with the fact that ogdoadics main flaw is that there’s no good extra deck reptiles except the aliens. Plus any excuse to see you talk about reptiles as a whole would be great.

8:53 Fun fact, despite theem being synchros, since they are all special summons only, it can bypass cards that limit synchro summoning like Contact "C"

Awesome. I was using prediction princess to help. I don’t think that newer support is in md yet tho

For such fantastic art, I'm hurt that the archtype is so bad.

With this video, I finally understand what Ursatic is trying to do. Never wrapped my head around it before. L.1 Synchro ? Drytron?

DuelLogs making a video of ursartics right as I'm making them, damn the timing

Polari activate big dipper directly from deck so i don't think your opp can ash it, although 1 imperm still ends your turn. Although as a dl player who saw this deck on its prime, its pretty much a fun deck there kekw.

Ursarctic is underrated, specifically because people don't understand how they function. Don't get me wrong, they're still bad because they can't handle being interrupted, but if they don't get interrupted, they set up good boards. I remember playing them during Salad format, where you were able to see a Salad deck 50% of the time. That was 50% a free win. The other 30% was Dragon Link, which wasn't free because they have other options, but you had the advantage because Septentrion ruined their consistency. The standard Ursarctic combo requires three cards not four, because the small bears recure cards. Also the cards you tribute can be anything. They're meant to be played alongside high-level hand traps. Nibiru, Phantazmey, Zoo King Alpha, Pankrotops. These protect you going second, but also become fodder going first. They did not use your normal, letting you be a bit more creative with builds. Personally preferred Halq, because of all the shenanigans, plus it baits out handtraps. Screw Auroradon, that's brick city, just Halq was fine. Because Halq leaves field as cost it is not affected by Sept. Which means you can summon any quick sync. Now that Halq is gone, you have other options again. Surprisingly, the fusion is actually really good. All it costs is your searchable field spell, and it gives you either free recursion every turn even opponents, or sac it to get the other sync. It's not even bricky because Drytron field searches the fusion spell. Draw seven was nice, but not what the deck needed. It fixes the risky loss of card advantage, but so did the fusion so that's no longer a problem. However, you can very easily draw all seven that turn one, and grab a Solemn which would protect your board. New cards are cool, but unfortunately the deck is still bad because it requires the right format to be playable, which is not now. The extra deck is being thrown away for generic main deck boss monsters, so the new Polari is not effective.

Ahh the arcitype that deserves Usartic drytron

I knew it was inevitable seeing this archetype in this hall of fame but as an Ursarctic main, it still does hurt to see. I do agree with everything Logs has said. The archetype has no protection. Its form of interaction isn't really intuitive enough except for Megatanus because the level 8s not only need to have hit the field, they also needed an Ursarctic monster to already be on the board. You go -5 to end on 1 monster that's a floodgate with no inherent protection (Septentrion, pre-Radiation) and even with Radiation, the deck still bricks to Dark Hole. That being said though, if you really want to play Ursarctics, you can splash in the Adventure package since you don't really have a Normal Summon. You can also use PUNKs, my favorite variant, to give them access to an easy Baronne or Chengying, or the new Horus cards to give them some form of counter when they start wiping your cards.

The reason Drytron and Usrarctic combo support exists is actually because of their design origin! Ursarctic is based on the Ursa constellations (specifically Ursa Major) because the big dipper forms the head of ursa major and it has 7 stars. Drytron is based on the Draconids constellation (which is actually a dragon so it makes more sense for them to be dragons instead of machines but whatever) which you can see on the art of the ritual spell. Both archetypes' monsters are named directly by the stars found within either constellation. The two archetypes intertwine because the tail of draconids actually lies _between_ ursa major and ursa minor

For the Ursarctics, unfortunately only Polari is named after a specific star. The maindeck Ursas, afaik, are named after the three (major?) species of bear (Black, Brown, Polar). The other two synchros are named after alternate names for the Big Dipper asterism the archetype is themed around.

The weirdest part about this archetype is that, THIS, out of ALL THE DECKS AND ARCHETYPES, is the closest we got to an adaptation of the "Dark Synchro Summon" mechanic seen in YuGiOh 5D's...... The 2nd thing being their connection to DRYTRON 8:42 I guess because "WATER Attribute" and "cosmic theme".... 13:30 emergency update

Ursarctic with Lava Golem or Kaijus and the Adventure Token Engine was pretty decent.

Truest video , if a plus 7 can't save you idk what can

Something i do really appreciate about the Ursarctic support is how they needed to make one card useful for 2 different archetypes at once (Drytron and Ursarctic). They could've (and realistically should have) made 2 seperate cards, one that more specifically supports each, but it's nice to see that they work okay. At least Bright Knight works better for Ursarctics than it does Drytrons. Drytrons does not need extension, it just needs consistency, which this only kind of provided.

A video on rank up magic/ CXyz monsters? They look cool as boss monsters but a lot of them focus on battle and the newer CXyz like Nasch Knight and C62 can be brought out without a rank up spell.

Ursarctics are gundams, I adore the artwork and the idea behind it so much and I even slipped in 3 drytron lvl1s and 2 of the rituals to make full use of the fusion, along with lava golems and kaiju's for discard fodder.. after buying it, I slowly lost faith and realised it's the meta or nothing... I bitterly chose to quit after this failed archetype.

I hate how much I love this archetype. Its been my master duel go to

To be honest, i know that this archetype isn't that good... When i get one of those card in a booster, i was like: "Uh! Looks like an archetype that i could use for the joke. I never heard of it, so it must be not that good" But i tried its and i love it! (Yeah, i have weird taste, i know) I'm a casual player, so being competitive isn't my goal... not at all. It's the first deck that i have real FUN by playing it. And it's something that not always happend when i play yu gi oh, especially on master duel. (For some personnal reason) I'm happy to have found a deck that was for me. In my opinion, the "magical side" of yu gi oh is that: You have so much possibilities with all the archetypes and card that there is, for sure, a deck made for you somewhere. Thank you @TheDuelLogs for this video It was very interesting, i learn new things about this archetype and that gave me some ideas to upgrade my deck Thank you again and have a good day

Hey what's about a Video about Ygo decks with 1 support card that's kinda broken, but not in the Archetyp? (Like Ursarctic Radiation)

We just kinda ignoring that its topped in the ocg multiple times at this point, right? not just the one at the end

will this support be added to MD? I have a deck made, but I never play it due to it's inconsistency

Ursarctics are a really fun & cool archetype, held back by its lack of protection & how resource extensive the deck is. It takes the whole hand to combo off in a time where 1 card combos are king. Had Ursarctics come out in the late Synchro era, They might’ve been far better received

Honestly I wouldn’t have such a problem if they had made Ultimate Bright Knight Ursatron Alpha a Lv.8 Tuner like a big bear instead of a Lv.7 non-Tuner. That way you could at least at go card neutral if played with Mikpolar/Miktanus. The only practical thing I can think of to help the deck is some well-tuned Pendulum scales of 6-9 so you don’t have to pay costs to summon the bears out, they’d still get their effects because they were Special’d, and you can search both the scales off Departure.

ursarctic actually wreaking havoc in duel links

Edit: holy shit its a water monster you can't get it off cyber emergency. ignore all of this, card sucks I think I'll at least try out the ursatron alpha in drytron when it comes to master duel, it seems like a half-decent extender to grab off cyber emergency. Notably, it also has the potential to actually make meteor shower playable

@@minatoarisato3181 Yeah, if your zeta add gets negated you still have access to the ritual spell via ursatron Edit: It seems best as a single-use target to summon draconids turn 1 then banish for its disruption effect so you only have to banish 1 actual combo piece. I just wish it had an effect to treat it as a level 1 on the field

Does anyone have the deck list? The cards are so blurry I cannot tell what they are

Good news! Ursarctics were actually Tier 3 in Duel Links recently

I play them with the Drytron and the deck is quite fun

The build a bear archetype 🤣🤣

Imagine if this deck could be used like the Horus engine. Every Horus monster can be used as cost for Sarcophagus and doesn't matter cuz you can use it from the graveyard without cost. If Tuners wouldn't require a cost or if Polar could transform the cost into "send the top card of the deck to the graveyard", that would make them better

I think most decks are playable. I think sometimes focusing a little too much on the chain of summons that need to happen clouds possibilities. Though this is coming from someone who just puts all the archetype cards together with one's that might go well and hope for the best.

I hope that one day Konami releases good ursatron NOT LINK support that allows combining drytrons and ursartics in a good deck

did you do dream mirrors and/or war rocks yet?

It was very good in duel links a few months ago

I am here to defend Ursarctics. I can take them to at least late diamond in MD. Ursarctic Kashtira. With birth on field. The kash monsters make perfect tributes for their recursion from either pile. Shamisen samsara. Barrone. Stellarwind. All great cards for the extra. Turns off Xyz and links ( dont need ariseheart if you’re running septentrion) they work great. Deck needs maxx c unfortunately to keep up so try and resolve it

Do a video about the most broken decks of each year please

When its about Ursarctic I have to say something too. I would like to apologize for my english and bad writing skills in advance. Ursarctic is my favourite archetype. I played it about 15-20 times at my locals. My best result is 3/2 and 1 Draw at a 40-player OTS (Fenrir+PUNKs did a lot of work) That deck gives me similar vibes like TCG exclusive archetypes. Yes its kinda playable, but they would have a much better time if they just wrote some of the cards a little better. Im pretty sure at least with the TCG-exclusive archetypes Konami is doing it 100% intentional. Im currently cooking with Tistina and some cards are written as if they came out 5 years ago I feel like. Im going to list some of the problems you already mentioned and more and try to explain how they could have done it better. 1. Why do they tribute for cost? Makes no sense 2. Why dont the LVL8 ursarctics go + at all? Why not give them an effect when theyre used for the dark synchro at least? Something? 3. Why doesnt Septentrion search on summon? that way the deck would have been playable much earlier. you could just use 3 cards to make Septentrion, add the Radiation and then try to + more on your opponents turn via the Radiation and Septentrion search. 4. Why dont they have any protection? Give Septentrion non-targeting and he would be really strong. 5. I dont like the fact that Septentrion has half a extra-deck skill drain. Yes the new one solves that problem but the fieldspell is actually really good and you dont get it off the new one. I have played against a lot of people that said they found the fieldspell really annoying because of the take-control. 6. Why do they lock out of Link/XYZ? being able to make R8s at least would have been nice. But thats not really their bigges problem. Since they go so much minus making Links isnt worth anyways 7. Why does Ursarctic Drytron have to get rid of their fieldspell? The Fusion is really good, but a lot of times the take-control of the fieldspell is better than going + with the fusion 8. I dont like floodgates, but Septentrion just looks really cool. Why does he have to be bad tho? :O 9.They still only have 1 spell/trap search. If someone know what hes doing he keeps his ash for him and your board will end on Septentrion + Prayers 10. Search2-Spell discards for cost, too. Just simply outdated. 11. Ursarctic Slider just doesnt do anything. Why did they even bother printing this. 5:29 you cant ash polari (imperm etc. tho so point still stands) Ursarctic is one of the Decks where I just wished Konami just errata'd or retrained all of them, because they are just wayy to bad for how cool they look and when they came out. Can you believe they came out in 2021????? Come on, Konami.... Well im currently playing other Decks but I will always try to make them as playable as possible. Who knows, maybe Septentrion will see play in some XYZ/Links heavy format in some other decks at least.

Maybe in another dead architypes ,you can make a video about magical musketeers

wait ash blossom can't active ןn response to polari. she can negate a summon, search or mill but not activating a s/t or setting a card from ur deck

Kinda hope people at Konami's Yugioh development team remember to also give this archetype the third big mecha-bear synchro, since only two are out for now (the white and the black one, while the green one is still missing). Perhaps by then they would have released something to further improve Ursarctics, who knows...

ursarctic are a lot of fun in duel links.
