This time, we’ll discuss the newest archetype in RAGE OF THE ABYSS called Metalmorph, which is ready to “steel” the spotlight as it is released in Asian English! This cool new archetype promises to shake up duels with its strong strategies and shiny, metallic monsters. Imagine a duel where metal and magic combine, creating powerful cards and clever plays that even the most experienced duelists will find exciting. As we explore the mechanics and potential of Metalmorph, get ready to be amazed by the blend of tech and fantasy that makes this archetype truly special. Time to gear up and duel your way to victory! Here’s a quick guide to get you started with building your own Metalmorph deck: Introducing the “Metalmorph” cards! Sample Decklist Summary Introducing the “Metalmorph” cards! If you’re diving into the Rage of the Abyss booster pack, you’re in for a treat with the Metalmorph archetype. Inspired by the classic trap card Metalmorph, this new addition to the Yu-Gi-Oh! Universe is all about transforming your monsters into powerful, metallic monsters. Let’s take a closer look at what makes this archetype so exciting. Metal Illusionist Metal Illusionist is your go-to starter that can help you set 1 Metalmorph trap card from your deck to your field and can even net you one free draw when a Max Metalmorph is in your graveyard when this effect activates, generating your card advantage. It can manipulate its levels and monster type, making it perfect for transforming into your Machine monster upgrades. Ratio: Run 3 copies. Red-Eyes Black Fullmetal Dragon This classic Red-Eyes Black Metal dragon is upgraded with powerful effects! It can help you set any 1 Metalmorph trap card from your deck by revealing and shuffling itself back to your deck. On the field, it can negate any card or effect and even deal effect damage to your opponent! Ratio: Run one to two copies. Metalzoa X The newest machine upgrade of Zoa. Like Red-Eyes Black Fullmetal Dragon, it can replace itself from your hand and set 1 Metalmorph trap from your deck instead. Up to twice per turn, it can destroy one face-up monster your opponent controls when they activate any monster effect or spell card/effect, which is excellent for providing field control. Ratio: Run one to two copies. Zoa the Fiendish Beast This is the retrained version of the classic monster Zoa. This is another way to fetch your Metalmorph trap cards, which could act as a tribute fodder when you summon it in your field. Ratio: Run one to three copies. Incoming Machine! Incoming Machine is the main searcher that can help you access monsters that mention Max Metalmorph or 1 Metalmorph trap card from your deck or graveyard to your hand. It also has a bonus graveyard effect that can force one defense position monster your opponent controls to attack position. Ratio: Run three copies. Max Metalmorph The newest upgrade of Metalmorph and Rare Metalmorph. This trap card can help bring out Red-Eyes Black Fullmetal Dragon and Metalzoa X so long as you have the proper tribute materials. It provides ATK/DEF boost and immunity to destruction via Spell or monster effects and targeting effects of the mentioned card types. Ratio: Run one to three copies. Time Engine Time Engine is an additional target, always treated as a Metalmorph card. Its situational effect relies on your opponent’s move, making it tricky to resolve. It’s still a neat card that can bring a surprise attack when the conditions are met. Ratio: Run 0 to 1 copy. SUPREME DARKNESS Supreme Darkness releases two new cards for the theme, potentially boosting the deck’s strategy. Metal Flame Swordsman Level 6 FIRE Machine Special Summon Effect Monster ATK 2500 DEF 1600 Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must first be Special Summoned with “Max Metalmorph” activated by Tributing a Level 5 or higher Warrior monster. You can only use the (1)st effect of this card’s name once per turn. (1) You can reveal this card in your hand; add 1 card that mentions “Max Metalmorph” from your Deck to your hand, except “Metal Flame Swordsman”, and if you do, shuffle this card into the Deck. (2) Each time your opponent activates a card or effect, this card gains 300 ATK; if it does, it inflicts 500 damage to them. ====== The newest Metalmorph support is here, and you can finally search all the Max Metalmorph-related cards like Metal Illusionist, Incoming Machine, and many more! While on the field, it deals 500 damage for every card or effect your opponent does, making it devastating mid to late game. Ratio: Run three copies (Post SUDA)  Flame Metalmorph Normal Trap Card You can only activate 1 card with this card’s name per turn. (1) Tribute 1 face-up monster that mentions “Max Metalmorph”; Special Summon 1 monster from your Deck that cannot be Normal Summoned/Set and mentions “Max Metalmorph,” ignoring its Summoning conditions, then you can equip this card to it as an Equip Card with this effect. If the equipped monster would be destroyed by battle or card effect, you can send this card to the GY instead. ==== An excellent new Metalmorph card that is easier to use thanks to ignoring the summoning conditions of the monster that mentions Max Metalmorph so long as you tribute a monster that mentions that trap card. Pre-SUDA (Supreme Darkness), you would be stuck with only one Max Metalmorph, and you would have to choose between Metalzoa X and Red-Eyes Black Fullmetal Dragon. You can potentially set Max Metalmorph and this trap card with your theme monsters. Ratio: Run three copies. (I feel this is stronger than the original Max Metalmorph and is easier to resolve.) Decklists Below is a sample Max Metalmorph deck from the OCG that you can use as a reference point. Details: This is a Fiendsmith Metalmorph deck. The Fiendsmith engine provides the necessary materials for Metalzoa X. With Red-Eyes Black Fullmetal Dragon, you are guaranteed an omni-negate that can protect you from your opponent’s plays. Summary The Metalmorph archetype brings a fresh layer of strategy to your duels. Whether you’re a casual player or a competitive duelist, these cards offer new ways to outsmart your opponents. Boosting your monsters’ stats and shielding them from harm can turn the tide of any duel, making Metalmorph cards a must-have in your deck. Are you thinking about building a deck around the Metalmorph archetype from RAGE OF THE ABYSS? We’d love to hear your thoughts below! This has been ArcKnight of RespectYGO. Happy Dueling!   Image Source: Yu-Gi-Oh! Asia Facebook Page/OCG Official X

How to Unleash the Full Potential of “Magical Musket”? | Archetype Starter Guide Welcome, duelists, to the ultimate guide for crafting your Magical Musket deck! If you’re ready to wield the power of the musket and outsmart your opponents with style, you’ve come to the right place. Whether you’re a seasoned duelist or a newcomer looking to make a splash, this guide will help you assemble a formidable and fun deck now that it’s available in Asian English from INFINITE FORBIDDEN! So, grab your deck box, shuffle those cards, and let’s dive into the world of Magical Muskets! Ready, aim, duel! Here’s a quick guide to get you started with building your own Magical Musket deck: Introducing the “Magical Musket” cards! Tech Cards and Engines Sample Decklists Summary   Introducing the “Magical Musket” cards! The Magical Musket archetype in Yu-Gi-Oh! is a fascinating and strategic set of cards that revolves around LIGHT Fiend monsters. Its core strategy involves using its themed monsters to accumulate and activate Magical Musket Spell/Trap cards instantly from your hand, making the deck unpredictable and versatile. Let’s talk about the key cards in this strategy. Note: All their archetype monsters continuously allow Magical Musket Spell/Trap cards from your hand to be activated during either player’s turn. They are also LIGHT Fiend monsters, making all their monsters an instant bridge to the Fiendsmith engine. Magical Musketeer Caspar Caspar is your go-to Magical Musketeer who can search any other Magical Musket card when a Spell/Trap card is activated in its column except the card that was activated. Ratio: Run 3 copies. Magical Musketeer Starfire Starfire fetches the Magical Musketeer of preference when a Spell/Trap card is activated in its column. Like Caspar, Starfire is one of your preferred starters. Ratio: Run 3 copies. Magical Musket Doc Magical Musket Doc is one of the ways you can recycle a Magical Musket card from your Graveyard. It isn’t a starter and can only generate an advantage mid to late-game. Ratio: Run 1-3 copies. Magical Musket Kid Brave Kid Brave is your draw power, allowing you to generate card advantage when a Spell/Trap card is activated in its column. Unlike the other starters, it’s reliant on having (1) a Magical Musket to discard for its draw and (2) a Spell/Trap to activate, which makes Magical Musket Doc better at times. Ratio: Run 1-3 copies. Magical Musketeer Calamity Calamity is your go-to monster to revive your fallen Magical Musket monster. Ratio: Run 0-1 copy. Magical Musket Wild Magical Musket Wild is here to help you recycle your bullets (Magical Musket Spell/Trap) and draw 1 card. Ratio: 0-1 copy. Magical Musket Mastermind Zakiel Zakiel is the archetype’s boss monster, and it’s here to replenish your hand cards up to the number of Magical Musket Spell/Trap cards you activated during that turn. Other than that, it requires a monster for its tribute summon and doesn’t do anything extra for its comrades. Ratio: Run 0-1 copy. Magical Musketeer Max Max is a themed link one monster of Magical Musketeers and has the powerful effect of generating a huge amount of card advantage depending on your choice. You can either add Magical Musket Spell/Trap cards with different names from your deck to your hand up to the number of monsters your opponent controls when it is linked summoned or special summon Magical Musket monsters with different names from your deck to your field up to the number of Spell/Trap cards your opponent controls. The best part about it is it’s a LIGHT Fiend, and you can use it to climb the Fiendsmith engine. Ratio: Run 1-3 copies in the Extra Deck Magical Musket - Cross-Domination Cross-Domination is your go-to Quick Play Spell Card to negate the effects of 1 face-up monster on the field and weaken its ATK/DEF to 0 until the end of the turn. Ratio: Run 1-3 copies. Magical Musket - Steady Hands This Spell Card makes your Magical Musket monsters bigger regarding ATK/DEF. However, it prevents that monster from attacking directly. In the current metagame, this card is outclassed by Cross-Domination. Ratio: Run 0-1 copy. Magical Musket – Desperado It is one of my favorite Magical Musket traps that can help you clear your opponent’s board or disrupt their strategy. Ratio: Run 3 copies. Magical Musket – Last Stand This trap card negates your opponent’s Spell/Trap card and destroys them. Aside from Desperado and Cross-Domination, this will be one of your go-to Magical Musket searches via Caspar or Max. Ratio: Run 1-3 copies. Magical Musket – Dancing Needle When it resolves, this trap card allows you to banish up to 3 cards in any Graveyard. This trap can also be chained against the opponent’s Called by the Grave when they attempt to banish your Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring or Maxx “C”. Ratio: 1-3 copies. Magical Musket – Fiendish Deal Magical Musket relies on your monsters staying on your field, and this card can protect them from being destroyed by card effects. Like the rest of the Spell/Trap cards of the archetype, you can activate this card right away from your hand, making it a searchable protection. When destroyed, it lets you fetch any Magical Musket from your Deck or GY to your hand. Ratio: Run 0-1 copy. Magical Musket – Crooked Crown This card can help you swarm the field with additional Magical Musket monsters. It has another effect that prevents the opponent from using the empty main monster zone from the column of the newly summoned monster, which is neat but not that impactful in today’s metagame. Ratio: Run 0-1 copy.   Tech cards and Engines Magical Musket is home to different engines or tech cards that you can use to strengthen your deck. Whether you are going pure or Fiendsmith route, there’s a perfect game plan for you. Fiendsmith Engine Fiendsmith and Magical Musket have a common denominator: LIGHT Fiend. All your Magical Musket are LIGHT Fiend which makes them perfect with Fiendsmith to add additional consistency or fire power. Generic Cards Generic cards such as Pot of Prosperity and Ties of the Brethren can help tutor your Magical Musket cards. Forbidden Droplet can help aid potential threats going second, and Dominus Purge is an additional interruption that works perfectly in an all-LIGHT deck.   Decklists Below are sample Magical Musket decklists in Asian English format post INFINITE FORBIDDEN. Customize the decks according to your preference. Note: These decklists follow the November 2023 AE Forbidden & Limited List Deck: Magical Musket (Pure) Details: This deck shines best when played second to maximize Magical Musketeer—Max. It can also be played first, depending on the match-up. Deck: Fiendsmith Magical Musket Details: This build incorporates the Fiendsmith engine to climb to powerful link monsters or Fiendsmith Desirae. Summary   The Magical Musket archetype offers a dynamic and engaging playstyle, perfect for duelists who enjoy strategic depth and quick, reactive gameplay. If you’re looking to try a new Asian English deck from INFINITE FORBIDDEN, Magical Musket could be one of your options. Ready to start building your deck? This has been ArcKnight of RespectYGO.
