Hey, this is GatorEX and welcome to my Yu-Gi-Oh! Channel, where I hope to discuss the Trading Card Game, Anime, Video Games, and Culture around our favorite Futuristic / Egyptian themed franchise. Videos will include dives into broad or obscure topics, analysis of Archetypes new and old, reviews and retrospectives of the anime, and breakdowns of content from Master Duel. Also, to come is a series going through the most unloved Archetypes in the history of Yu-Gi-Oh! I hope you'll join me on this adventure because it's Time to duel!

i wish Dark Blade could get neW union dragons monsters with playable effects(and sorta dragunity dragons like designs) and new spell/traps to make an archetype deck.
I had the chaos duel disk as a kid
Why yes I do I used her yesterday in my deck should a fun memory.
I found this video because I've been trying to look up Dard Blade's lore. There's plenty to dig up on this, but the story really is incomplete. It also fits in with the lore of so many other cards.
Loved the episode! I I did something similar in the past, we challenged ourselves with random dollar tree MTG packs. If it can give you any ideas, the way we made our video wasn't by showing the whole round, but with each player telling their duel strategy interview style after each match and showing the relevant key moment of the match. Anyway juste sharing some thoughts, can't wait for the next episode 🎉
I simply don't understand why Konami barely makes these and never thinks about them being sleeve friendly.
That was a fun watch. Good catch on the Dogma misplay, but what about that first sentence on Life Extreme lol
Ah, I had to cut things a bit weird, but Maple Maiden’s Effect turns everything to an attribute of the player’s choice and Bait chose Earth. Should’ve added a note to clarify that. 🙏
Not important to the game, but I don't think you can activate Performage Hat Tricker in response to Paths of Destiny. It activates in response to an activation that would inflict damage to you, but at the time Paths of Destiny is activated, it isn't known if it's going to inflict damage to you or not. It's like how you can't negate Snipe Hunter with Stardust Dragon.
I believe you can, but of course only at the activation because there’s a possibility it would. I’m just guessing, because I know Ash Blossom can activate in response to other chance cards that could potentially add cards or draw 🤷♂️ IDK, didn’t matter much I that game anyway, but it’s really funny to think about. Paths of Destiny is a hilarious card 😂
@@GatorEXYGO Ash Blossom is the opposite. It works on any activation that "includes" the effect to move a card out of the deck. So any effect that *could* do so, whether or not it actually will. Solemn Warning has the same wording. That's why you can Warning a Starlight Road, even if your opponent doesn't have a Stardust in their Extra Deck. Of course it didn't matter at all this game, but uh...the more you know, I guess.
MHMMM 🤔 I love how weird this game is lol 😂
Amazon listing: "no duplicates" IMMEDIATELY opens duplicate eXcharge in the first bundle
Their lies make it even more chaotic 😂
Honestly, as a jank enjoyer im excited to see this series progress
Oh yeah, things will get VERY jank 😂
its why i enjoy sneak peak events, tbh that gives the same kind of energy. Have you considered doing locals vlogs?
I did do stuff like that a loooooong time ago, but I really haven’t been to locals in a while. For IRL I mostly just play with friends when I have them over for a game night and then keep with Master Duel as my main thing. But I did love doing Sneak Peek events, those are great!
because they are cool, even if they destroy your cards
I feel like they need to make a new version that works with Dark World, cause of the cards description about being a dragon manipulating warrior from the dark world, so it could work with Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World in some way. Maybe a new fusion where it rides on the back of Grapha, like with Pitch-Dark Dragon. Maybe if you're opponent has a Dragon type on the field, it can take control of it or Special Summon one from the Graveyard or something.
I actually made my own duel disk out of plastic and metal, I used electronics that would know what your life points are at. It is really cool, I used my 3d printer for the plastic
You can certainly make a Feral Imp archetype. Here are my ideas. Feral Imp of the Dark Woods. Lv. 4/Dark/Reptile/Atk: 1300/Def: 1400. -if this card is added to the hand by a card effect; you can Special Summon it to the field. If this card was Special Summon to the field by its own effect (quick effect): you can add 1 Lv.5 or lower Reptile monster from your Deck to your Hand. You can only use the effects of this card once per turn, and only once per turn. Ghoulish Feral Imp Lv.4/Dark/Reptile/Flip/Atk: 1600/ Def: 1800. -when this card is flipped face-up, you can add 1 card from your GY to your Hand, while your opponent discards the top card of their deck to their GY face-down. Horned Imp of the Dark Woods Lv.4/Dark/Reptile/Atk: 1400/Def: 1000. -if a Reptile monster was Normal or Special Summon to the field; you can Special Summon this card (from the hand). Feral Imp of Magical Lightning Rank 4/Dark/Reptile XYZ/Atk: 2000/Def: 1400. -if this card was successfully XYZ summoned then you can reduce the Atk & Def of all your opponents face-up monsters by 600. If this card Battles an opponents monster that was affected by its 1st effect; it's Card Effects are negated. If this card is targeted by an opponents card effect (quick effect): you can use 1 material from this card to negate it, then destroy that card, and if the destroyed card was a monster you deal 600 damage to your opponent. Lightning Unicorn's Horn Equip Spell -when a monster is equipped with this card it gains 600 Atk, and if the monster is a Reptile, you can destroy all face-up monsters on your opponents field. If the equipped monster would be destroyed (quick effect): you can instead send this card to the GY, then deal 600 damage to your opponent.
Dark Blade is the GOAT. One my first Cards from all those years ago. I'm sure many feel the same.
I would rework Flare Scarab's effect to give it a once per turn effect to gain 200 atk for each spell/trap card you control, then give it an effect to negate a spell/trap card effect by reducing its atk by 1000, but destroying itself if its atk becomes 0.
Oh yeah, I love Dark Blade and desperately want this little union package to get its own deck. But also? *So many* starter decks randomly contain Dark Blade. Between that and the art - he's not forgotten. He's iconic. How is he not his own deck by now?!
They were actually just a plot to lower the number of mint condition cards in circulation.
I had one of these as a kid, but I don't know what happened to it. My family split apart and my whole childhood was ruined, gotta love childhood trauma 😂
Yo I'm they should make a Warrior Dai Grepher Dack with dark blade in it and your your idea about you and monsters being with dark related cool too
dark blade needs a chaos remake, perhaps it's own updated archetype of just five new supporting cards, preferbally a light/dark dragon that references it's other form of dark blade. kiryu needs a fusion monster alongside darkblade as well.
I like using him to Ritual Summon BLS Legendary Swordsman
So since dark blade was my favorite of the unions and im one of the rare few players who loved the union mechanic before xyz took it over my idea was expanding on whats there. First i gave DB more dragons (6), gave each combo a neos style contact fusion (errata pitch included), unions were battle focus, while fusions were deck eff focused, at least 4 generic union support spells and traps, field spell (acting like a cross between cyberdark invasion and dragon ravine), & lastly a big boss monster (big humanoid dragon fusion monster similar in design to dragonic overlord from CFV with +effects like Tierra). I already made the card text im working on the art before postin to custom cards forum.
I’d absolutely love a Dark Blade deck! :D He was my favorite card as a kid!
Thank you
I would prefered a Synchro deck that rivals with the Vampire, they use Xyz and kind of counter them and they are just Wolves forms not humans, also maybe some art with Vampire Lord and the rest of the Vampires like in the Underworld movies.
Union Monster equip strategies are rough in the game unless the deck mechanic involves some kind of boss monster and by then, it's just a bunch of recourses that barely work. This archetype is amazing. Still waiting for Cyberdarks Horn, Edge, and Keel to get their modern retrains, but at what point are the cards playable without forcing their mechanic to even function? I'd love to see the Union monsters make a comeback without needing to go into boss monsters given even the boss monsters have very linear effects and only act as beaters unless you're using the Light Union Machines. Dark Blade is awesome still!
I swear. If we Were Living in a Different Timeline! Darkblade Would Definitely Have his Own Union Fusion Archetype to Fight Against the XYZ Dragon Cannon Archetype! I Mean! It would be Badass to See Dark Blade either riding His Dragons or Fusing the Beasts into his Armor to Create Something AKIN to “Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon”.
Funny, I remember by just looking at him, I thought Dark Blade was apart of the "Red-Eyes" archetype, but you know like an unspoken member of it. Seeing as Dark Blade does indeed have red eyes and is wearing black armor and all. Maybe someday Konami will make a "Red-Eyes" version of Dark Blade perhaps?
If im not mistaken im pretty sure dark blade is meant to be a rival to paladin with eyes of blue. Both are dragon riding knights with equip spells based on their armor.
I do think that dark blade needs some more support especially the Kiryu fusion that you talk about But it is fairly decent all things considered because it has other cards that synergize with it specifically and it stats are good for its level
I agree that Konami should make a retrain of the Dark blade archetype. They may add Pitch black dragon and kiryu to the Memento archetype first.
I'm still interested if Dark blade has any relation to Warrior Dai Grepher and Underworld Fighter Balmung.
Call me crazy but I want more NEX fusions with better effects since they can be cheated out so hilariously easily now thanks to instant contact
I remember building the deck before its DAMA support came out and I loved it and now I love it even more witch Wind Sitch like they almost compliment them hee hee hee
Union will be less bad if we can equip the card from hand too. I don't know why they didn't try to modernize the Union and give ability to equip from hand. We have fusion and ritual summon from deck or using material from anywhere as the innovation, or other mechanic with their weird gimmick like Synchro without tuner/non-tuner, Xyz only use effect like Purely, Link summon using monster in hand as material, etc. Also, still hate the fact that card with name literally Union Carrier, but carry non-Union card too. I hope we got retrain and make it only take and equip an Union.
Imma disagree with that claim Serpent Night Dragon
Duel Disk was goated, I had one up until highschool lol
Dark Blade should get his own archetype.....heck.....it can the first actual union monster deck that uses the mechanic as it's intended. The XYZ archetype doesn't use it much, if at all. But retrained versions of Dark Blade & his dragons could! Heck, add some soldier monster, his own horse, and maybe a boss monster of him that gets stronger with each union monster on the field, & get a bonus effect while equipped with one.
I’ve always wished/wanted DB as his own archetype. Iconic art work.
While i am glade Dark Blade was reworked into Memento, i do agree Dark blade needs a little more love. I was planning on using this archetype for Vivian (Duel monsters) for my cpu vs cpu yugioh tournaments on my channel.
4:39 as a Fiend Link fan, this made my day lol. Jokes aside, this was a really good video. Good job. Keep up the good work
I’m gonna be honest, when I was writing the script I just wrote some random monster type and then when I was editing I was like “Wait… Fiend Link… Eh, whatever.” 😅
@@GatorEXYGO honestly. That's completely valid lol
I'd take a page from the Mementotlans and the new Millenium archetype and have Dark Blade be the center, but include the other unions like Vampire Orchis and Decayed Commnder in the archetype as support for him. Let them tag out with various fusion combos and then let the Fusions tag out into the pieces to help preserve the Union flavor while granting flexibility to the archetype.
Ooh, that would actually be kinda cool. 🤔 Let’s get Burning Beast and Freezing Beast in here!
I love Gustos as well. One of my absolute favs! And I even revisioned them on deviantart XD
Retrains would be great. Retrain the vanilla as "Dark Blade, the Dragon Manipulator". Same stat line as normal, but it now has the effect to search monsters that mention "Dark Blade", and if the searched monster is a Union Monster, equip it immediately. The retrained Union monsters could be called "Dark Pitched Dragon" and "Kiryu, the Shadow Sweeper". Each of them having their Union effects, but only being able to Equip to a DARK Warrior that mentions "Dark Blade". The equipped monster against 500 (Dark Pitched) OR 1000 (Shadow Sweeper) ATK. Their Unique effects would stay the same as their originals. They would really stand out now, and now Kiryu is searchable & Equippable without the hassle! As for King of Yamimakai, call him "Makai, King of Yami". Same stat line, but the effect to discard to Special Summon a DARK Warrior that mentions "Dark Blade" from hand, deck, or GY, and add a Dragon type Union Monster to hand. If this searched Union mentions "Dark Blade", auto equip. The best board with these four cards being used would need two cards: both King of Yamimakai & Dark Blade Retrains in hand. Discard Makai to SS a copy of the Dark Blade retrain & search one of the retrained Dragons and auto equip. Normal the retrain Dark Blade in hand, use effect to search the other retrained dragon & auto equip. You got two Dark Blades riding two dragons.
I'd make a dark blade that could fuse itself to any dragon on the field but would make a different fusion monster depending on the attribute of the dragon plus a new dragon unions for each attribute that that support dark blade and had effects when they were used a fusion material.
Ooh, that’d be a pretty neat way of going about it 🤔 Yeah, I like the idea!
So, the anti-Branded?
