The Subterror Nemeses being at odds with Subterror Behemoths in lore but playing together in practise reminds me of how the Ice Barrier tribe actually want to keep the dragons sealed, or how Revengdread Slayer actively fights back against the Vendread. There's a few instances of archetypes where they're comprised of 2 or more "factions" that're at odds with each other.

The subterror alongside ghostricks are and still my main decks for years, i simply love the flip gimmicks and i know they arent meta giants or fully competitive either, but i do get a lot of fun playing with the effects and defensive shenanigans against meta giants just to torture them and flippin them down with control its just... *Chefs kiss*.

[Moro-Goro-]

Its crazy how much better subterror would be if the field spell just had subterror in its name

[yofyo]

seeing a final battle guru shrug off a field full of juicy thunder dragons really activated my almonds.
this strategy and these mechanics really come together to make yugioh feel different and unique. the resources are endless but only if you can keep the pieces together

[xCorvusx]

The effect of Subterror Nemesis Defender is a lore-driven mechanic expressing the opposition of the Nemeses to the Behemoths: in the presence of the face-down Flip monsters, i. e. while you are in the terrain of the Subterror Behemoths, he is the reliable shield of his allies.

God, this archetype looks awsome.

[anthonythomas]

Man, Subterror is a terrifying archetype and an archetype you don't want to mess with

[oussamalasfer]

subterror behemoth artwork so good!! im happy they been used in duel links and given some love unlike main card game where they only use geru control lol

[TheMidnight]

Hi Nova, thanks for the "explained" series. Those are a pretty deep analysis of the archétypes
I just regret that the lore aspect is not covered. I admit it's thanks to your lore videos, i discovered your channel

It would be awesome if you add a chapter with the lore or maybe you keep all this content for another series.

Either way keep it up

Thanks for being a good rep for Speleogeist. People sleep on him for some bizarre reason. He's the closest thing to a monster equivalent of Hidden City and Final Battle.

Fiendess isn't the younger form of Behemoth Fiendess, it's more like Attack on Titan where she shapeshifts. On that note, Guru gave his cloak to Warrior on Succession, because he knew he was becoming Speleogeist againt his will and needed a successor to defeat him.

Archer is super good. You might have other removal for Set cards, but Archer can shuffle away nasty cards like floaters, Absolute Zero, and Mirrorjade. Her own float effect is paramount, due to needing to see Guru as soon as dragonly possible.

Defender.. is just sad. He is somehow worse than even Dragossuary. Atleast that thing is a Zombie, so it can synergize with said support if you are based enough.

Cave Clash doesn't see a lot of play? It clashes? Bruh moment. That thing is a game winner. It's a name for Guru, the ATK boost is very noticable, especially with Speogeist who can poke for 6K+++. It's a soft once per turn even.. you can trigger multiple copies per turn and their boost stacks.

A few things as an avid Subterror player.

Everyone talks about Dragoon Guru, but there are actually many other competitive versions of the deck I’d argue are as good if not better than Dragoon most of the time.

Krawler Soma let’s you get out F0 and search Ghostrick Scare for more Flip shenanigans. Branded Fusion and Fusion Destiny are other really good fusion cards to get out big bosses, but I’d argue Dinomorphia is actually the best because it doesn’t conflict with Duality, the fusion materials aren’t bricks as they act as starters as well, and Rextrum is a house. Dogmatika is also a really good engine since you don’t care about the Extra Deck. It even has synergy with aforementioned Branded Fusion.

Also, one little known fact about Subterror, we have an easy Accesscode line! If you start your turn with Hidden City face-up and Guru on the field either face-down or able to be flipped face-down, that’s Accesscode with at least 3 pops. You just need a Fiendess in deck and Selene, a Charmer, and Striker Dragon in the Extra. I’ll leave the rest for y’all to figure out.

appreciate the Monster Hunter reference you snuck in there Nova. i named my Subterror deck Monster Hunter since its also mixed with Kaijus

[Frankonator]

Great video! I topped a locals once with this deck way back in 2017 before guru ever came out and it reminds me of the much different gameplay the deck used to have when you actually played the behemoths and nemesis together. Thanks for the awesome video

[rimz]

Stygokraken is the sole reason I run Burrowing and Artifacts in my deck, also can't wait for the new card coming out that supports flips

[gossiperzoroark]

Ah, these guys were fun in Duel Links. Just confuse the AI with Wandering Mummy and watch them run into your 3k defense wall

[sirnightw]

These archetype explained and your lore videos are awesome! Appreciate your work on these!

[gaminginteriorhd]

Fun fact: the behemoths activate to special summon themselves so the thunder one has the condition to summon thunder dragon colossus in OCG (obviously we could if we had colossus here)

[Pikatwig]

You post this the day that Coder posts a video about learning this archetype. What luck.

[ecos]

As a Guru conrol player myself I agree, my turns tend to be quick even when I combine it with the Eldlich engine to have more removal on board and extra negates.

[raven_knight_]

Fun fact: subterror succession can search maxx c by sending any of your flip subterror monsters, which is amazing to turn any in hand behemoths into free draws from your opponent special summoning

[djangostar]

Alright, I might be crazy, but, Calamity upon the hidden city in Ninjas? Like imagine setting a senior silver ninja via art of duplication on the opponents turn, and them trying to swing into it, leading to a 3700 defense ssn, where it then summons a swarm of ninjas face down. And if you have saizo on the field, who can't be targeted for attacks or effects as long as he points to a monster, wouldn't that create a sort of target lock (for effects I mean)? And if it gets blown up, you can get back someone like tobari, who can't be destroyed (if attacked) that turn even without it.
