I feel like argostar is very similar to Invoked. In decks that don't need a normal summon, you can just play Adra, which converts into Tydel + Eteo + discard a card to search the fieldspell for two pseudo-negates and a bounce.

This is all from just one wave of support. If future support allows the archetype to extend even a little bit further, you can make silouhatte rabbit for anguish pattern and use one of the trap monster for a Time Thief Redoer bounce, ending on a very respectable endboard of varied interaction.

Deck is very nice to play when getting paired with small ryzeal package. You basically have 18 free slots for non-engine. The fact that the field spell is a once per chain means you can combat against any type of sequencing opponent would try to do. Deck is extremely fast at pushing in damage as well. Here is some random trivia: the field spell get to negate a card even if opponent stop the trap cards effect to return to S/T zone because it only requires effect of a trap to be activated in monster card zone. If you use ryzeal engine, you can normal summon adra, place tydel and eeto on the field, use tydel search 2nd eeto fron the deck, use ryzeal to send aggregator, ryzeal search eff cl1, aggregator target tydel in monster zone cl2. Since tydel got negated, it will go back to S/T and forget that it has already activated this turn. So you can discard 2nd eeto, search field, add back 2nd eeto and now you have 2 bounce in the back

These aren't anything crazy yet, but they're bound to get more cards, and they are clearly designed to work with all past and future Trap Monster support. (Of which they have been printing alot of lately.)

[durphymcbob]

The deck might not be good but they are all level 4 trap monsters they can do some funky stuff with time thief

[vlsnp]

The devk isnt as weak as it seems at 1st glance imo.

[comettcg]

not gonna say it's amazing in powerlevel or something, but I like the design that this archtype are pretty immune to mulchurmies

[marlonb.]

The problem is that the consistency is not there, you need at least 6 more ways to get to the Monster, the best you can do is 7th, but that’s a -1, that’s rough. Also then you can only XYZ, so you can go Re-doer but, not monster so it doesn’t defend itself. It’s pretty weak, but to be fair, it does make the Trap monster deck ever so playable. field spell should’ve add from anywhere, than that was 8 starers, and it might’ve been playable 🥹 ugh.

for the runick hybrid I feel like the fact that you can make Bujintei Tsukuyomi with the two traps needs to be highlighted, it's most of the times a +2 (+1 when you activate it with one card in hand and +1 on the next fountain activation, if you kept a runick card as your discard). To take full advantage of this you need the ability to set almost everything in your hand, which usually wouldn't mesh well with handtraps, but nowadays you can run imperm and dominus purge

[Lynmaru_]

They look potentially fun I'll be waiting for the ED monsters that will surely make the deck t1

[obskewerd]

Finally a deck where Boompoline makes sense :D

[JorgeLuiz]

Home stadium burn effect reminded of that odion skill for duel links that is also meant for trap monsters

[nickd]

Argo stars kinda work well with sky striker.

[Meme-pgtw]

ive played this deck a decent amount since it got put onto simulators, it NEEDS another engine to work at all since if you dont open the 1 monster your traps and field spell dont do anything, silhouhatte searches anything, m-x saber invoker is the only real way to search it, the puppet chess engine can search it, the problem there is that lets your opponent search quite literally any monster in the game, the deck does not have a chance if drytron goes first, the normal summon effect is activated so if they activate the drytron negate on it you cant banish it

[MomirViggwilv]

This archetype goes crazy with Time Thief Redoer

[ryanager]

As it stands, Argostars aren’t there yet. Like, couldn’t compete in Duel Links 2 years ago levels of not there.

Either they need insane waves of future support, or they need to be paired with another control deck they synergise with well, ideally a monster focused Warrior deck that doesn’t need their normal summon.

[xavierdurham]

Unending Nightmare, Trap Eater, and Magical Spring buyouts are around the corned if this ends up being a meta contender.

[c_spare]

Correct me if I am wrong but wouldn't the effect that activates to put the continuous traps back in the S/T zone also trigger the field spell in the same chain? That would make the effect to tag out essentially a quick effect face-up card negate that can be activated as many times as you have face-up ARGOS traps. Seems incredibly strong

[rafflesiaandfriends]

It would be good in duel links, maybe

[HumanoidCableDreads]

Josh seemed to miss the point of this deck. It's a burn deck with a lot of control. If you run Statue of Anguish Pattern you can pop at least three cards a turn and then negate another three cards with the field spell. Been playing it online and winning against meta decks.

gonna try to splash this in vaalmonica
