To be honest, you really should wait until we got translations from YGOrganization or something, because I'm pretty sure not everyone can read Japanese [fluently] (and especially not off the picture itself).

 

(Going to assume Tindangles Angel, Hound and Gardna didn't change too much from the anime)

 

====

New theme apparently is high Level spam, but how good they end up being is unclear right now. All we know is that they crossed with Star Grails (Relics because it's Seikon) and got a 3K Link 3 with all arrows going down.

 

Will add more detailed thoughts once effects are posted.

 

(Let's see if I can read it on my own to some extent)

[Hallohallo]

New archetype is called Jack Knights.

 

And different archetypes should've had different topics imo. This is gonna be messy.

i think thats a better idea. ill keep the tindangels here and making another for the Jack Knights and World Chalice

 

[Darj]

So, Delaunay is pretty much the Nebula Meteorite of the archetype, while Apostle is the second most-advantage-generating card? Well, not really, since they got other cool toys there, like Intruder that can keep the card advantage steady and funnily enough can combo with that Trap that revives in face-down Defense at the cost of some LP.

Also I find interesting the effects the Spells got to search for a copy of themselves, all without being part of the archetype by name. An intriguing design choice IMO, since not only it kind of addresses the issues with running multiples of Field and Cont. Spell/Traps that have the chance of becoming dead when drawn in multiples, also you get the option of milling them to use their search effects.

[Atypical-Abbie]

These are definitely...something. They have the potential for some good things, Protected Sky's protection is golden for something like this, too bad it's not easy to search, though you can dump it with Foolish Burial Goods and then banish it to search it I suppose, also I like that Euler Circuit seems to encourage giving your opponent a monster that Cerberus can point to, that's something I was expecting them to do, so that's neat. Delaunay is also very good for that last effect, and taking battle damage for a 3-Link is not too bad either. Yeah, they could easily dead draw a lot of the time, but they have so many good options in both spam, protection and lockdown as well.

[The Highlander]

Acute Cerberus is ... eh.

Angel is cute ... also for the anime lock.

Base Guardna ... is alright, I like that he can grab from one's deck ... however being rliant on a single mechanic being used by one's opponent is never a good sign.

Hound is alright.

Apostle is a potential + 3.

Intruder is a high stat, flip, archtypal searcher, nemesis warrior.

Nagel effectively turns those monsters into beelzes, saving them after using their flip effects, so it sounds alright (though it should protect face down monsters from effects, rather than face up one).

Euler Circuit sounds ... weird and not beneficial ... am I missing something or is this only for an anime like "take this weak monster in ATK POSITION, haha" (protagonist drops plot armor similar kuriboh copy) ?

Delaunay's first effect is ... a worse recoded alive ... yet its second effect (and thus burial of belongings) is an archtypal mass revival effect, which prepares apostle ... sounds decent.

[(GigaDrillBreaker)]

From what I can tell, this deck really just wanted to summon Cerberus, get its ATK to 4200, then use Protected Sky to hit for lethal. The real question is how quickly and consistently it can do this. Base Gardna and Intruder are both very powerful in-theme as far as I can tell, and Apostle has a ton of potential for stupid amounts of value, albeit taking a decent amount of devotion beforehand to be worth it.

 

I think that as-is, they lack the starting plays and consistency required to really get rolling, but the damage output from Cerberus with Protected Sky is nothing to scoff at.

[Blake]

>Base Gardna isn't a FLIP

[The Highlander]

[...] but the damage output from Cerberus with Protected Sky is nothing to scoff at.

To be fair Hound can do the same and potentially more.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

Let's see:

• Cerberus is deadly enough, IF you have Base Gardna; idk why it specifically needs that monster. Otherwise, yeah. 
• Angel/Gardna/Hound are the same as anime; see thoughts in anime thread. (I may not have to update the new ones if they are copy/paste)
  • As I noted on Hound, being anti-Link doesn't help Akira's case, though it works.
• Apostle is pretty nice and heavy searching doesn't hurt either; though yeah, they need a way to actually get 3 monsters on board to search. (Maybe tech in other Flip decks; idk)
• Intruder's the general searcher; not much to say about it. 
• Nagel is amazing.
• Euler's Circuit is okay; attack lock is fine (assuming field advantage). Not sure on where the 2nd effect will go, except giving away used Angels to blow up. 
• Delaunay is iffy; GY effect sets up for massive searches, but that's about it. 

Seems good on paper, but yeah, field advantage is needed to even do anything (and Link requires Base to do stuff; I mean, you probably will use it to summon Hound anyway, so I guess). In the long run, Hound probably will do more for obvious reasons.

[~ P O L A R I S ~]

Really underwhelming archetype so far. A lot of battle effects, they all have different levels with most above 4 (granted Reasoning is a card that would be good for them and could possibly mill the Spell/Traps but it's at 1), and they largely depend on Flip effects and GY setup. Imagine attacking something with Acute Cerberus and your Base Gardna gets D.D. Crow'd...

 

The Spells and Traps are the best part, and it's cool that they can replace themselves (when they don't get Cosmic Cycloned), but the monsters so far aren't nearly good enough.

Come on the synergy with ghostricks is undenyable. Lots of ways to get all the effects off. For one, there are many things that special summon themselves in face down def. Ghostrick mansion protects face downs and so does ghostrick vanish. Throw all the stuffs with the 3x allure of darkness. In a addition to getting to flip summon initaly you can put them all facedown again with ghostrick doll, flip them face up on their turn with ghostrick scare and when ghostrick doll actuvates during the end phase you can flip them again on your turn. Plus you can also get out the field spell with ghostrick reform. Get the effects that happen when you take battle damage because ghostrick s. It's no coincidence the new ghostrick card is coming the same set as this archetype this already seems like a huge boon to this 10/10 would flip stuff face down again. Probably lots I've missed but I can already tell this is going to be fun
