“This… was Gem-Knight Crystal!”
“Duel Terminal, this is the fifth time you’ve shown us Gem-Knight Crystal.”

[Gridiron]

Ah, my favorite archetype. Versatile, terrifying, and beautiful to look at. A landmark in the game...even if it now has fallen a bit behind.

[swirlingvortex]

"Activate the ramen cup" was not a phrase I thought would be on the bingo card, but it is now!

[Sta_cotto]

I hyper appreciate you taking a little bit to explain who each monster is when relevant

[yonray]

I hope that shaddolls return to their true former glory. Was my first real deck when getting back into yugioh and would love go seem them back on top just one more time.

[matthewbickerton]

Feels so weird that Nova hasn’t covered this yet.

[chrisharte]

You got to wonder how painful the Shaddoll Transformation Process has got to be.

Konami like: "You can fuse by sending materials from your [hand/field/GY/deck/Extra Deck] to the [GY/banish pile/deck] with a Fusion spell, or a non-fusion spell, or often just no spell at all. Fusion materials optional."
Then the other mechanics are like, "Can we banish cards from the GY for our mechanic? Or use materials in our hand?" and Konami is like, "Woah, that's a big ask there, buddy."

I'm already going in salty, knowing Red-Eyes Fusion came out over a year after Shadoll Fusion and Shadolls didn't need it.

[bobbybero]

Shaddolls changed the meta when they came out

[blindwl]

I love Shaddoll, my favorite archetype in the game so I gotta clarify. The reason that El Shaddoll wendigo is so bad is because since she is a powerful being that the Shaddoll had to take over by force while she was still alive, is actively fighting back against the corruption and not providing the Shaddoll with her powers. This can be seen with how she is the only El Shaddoll fusion monster that doesn't have strings coming out of her to control other Shaddoll drones, but instead is restrained by the strings tied around her body. The Shaddoll archetype has so much lore and flavor to it it's such an interesting lore read

[Maniseesbothsides]

EL Shaddoll construct is a beast

Unless you have breakthrough skill burial from a different dimension😂

[silverstar]

I was building Shaddoll in Master Duel because of that one Fusion mission. After all, I pulled three Shaddoll Fusions while pulling for Zefra cards. But I kind of ran out of ideas to improve that deck. Same with Zefra. Thanks for the ideas to improve that deck, and I can craft more than one El Shaddoll Fusion too.

[KvOverlordgaming]

I just realized while watching this, Shaddoll Horus. Makes perfect sense!

[ixnvy]

Shaddoll Genius steamrolls Yubel Loving Defender and got me out of a 10 TURN LOCK, got lucky one time but faced another player later that ran Yubel/Exodia and i misplayed it the second time around and got the Kaiba treatment 😂😂

[relicking]

*YES!* I don't know who requested it, but I thank you immensely

[witecatj]

This deck always came across as a corrupter style of villain.

[rouka]

Yes yes YESSS, now we gonna get shoddoll support next!

[arbington]

Shaddoll Fusion, El Shaddoll Fusion, Nephe Shaddoll Fusion? The archetypal fusion spell of the deck is Super Poly. lol

[mariojordan]

Imma say that theres one archetype you probably missed (well, 2 actually)
Krawlers! More specifically, World Legacy! World Legacy Pawns is a trap card that allows you to flip any monster at any moment you desire. Depending of how much you wanna play more Krawler, you can use Krawler Soma, who can trigger your Shaddol monster by flipping it face up and SPECIAL SUMMONING ITSELF AND 2 OTHERS SHADDOLS. One last monster not to sleep on is Deus X-Krawler, a one-sided Skill Drain for your opponent.

One last card thats really cool (In NR FORMAT) is Subterror Succession. Its basically Small World, sending a monster from hand as an effect to search a flip monster or sending a flip monster to search a monster with the same attribute but lower level.
😊
