EDIT: oh look, generic goodstuff that fits into a variety of decks. But also technically functions as it’s own core for whatever deck you work with. Would be neat if you had a MD another than Iblee. World Legacy stuff who cares.

[Tinkerer]

Most of these are completely generic.  I love it.  Simple goodstuff effects, with further benefits off of being co-linked.  Resource moderation, multi attributes, theme based on mythical creatures... this is definitely an archetype that hits on lots of stuff I like.  Man, simple discard to do stuff... I missed that!  I feel like there should be so many more means to take advantage of that then there used to be.  Now to find them...

 

I would say what makes or breaks this would be the Main Deck monsters (I mean, Destroymare isn't going to be the only one I hope..), but even if the Main Deck is utterly mediocre, since these are so generically usable, you could throw them into a completely different deck theme and run 'em anyway.  That Link 4 though... that's a pretty dangerous card.  It is one of those that'll be tossed in to help facilitate those first turn "break my board" scenarios, isn't it?

 

How far can you potentially go with these with a normal Grinder Golem combo?  I'd imagine that after you get the initial stuff, you should be able to Extra Link and cycle through your hand for whatever you may need to keep plays going.

 

Trap's kinda meh, but I suppose it has use.  I'd prefer Heavy Storm Duster though, even in this deck that focuses so much on its co-links.  I think the more important part of the trap is its story implications more than its practical use.  Inheritor looks like it could be crazy in this deck.  World Spear is hilarious if only because of that ridiculous debuff and the fact that it is a Recurring Nightmare target to counterbalance the self-discard.  That third effect is... interesting, but if it never hits the field, it seems a bit superfluous.

[XenoPhobia]

Why is Unicorn and Griffon's attributes interchanged???

 

(autistic screeching)

 

(OCD intensifies)

[Atypical-Abbie]

So an Archetype all about co-links, I suppose it's about time. They are probably suppose to form an Extra Link since they have all the tools to do so with the least work required. Interesting to see the Main Deck monsters though, as right now they seem to rely on a good set-up to work.

[~~~~]

So between Phoenix, Cerberus and Goblin you have a really strong Extra Link, you just then need 2 Links pointing down from the EMZs. Give them Destroymare Everiese and they can't Kaiju your board either. Praise Ra!

 

EDIT: also Mermaid is going to mean that this deck will suffer from the Zoodiac problem - remember when Broadbull made every Zoo monster a Stratos? Well every Troymare is Tour Guide. It doesn't help that Mermaid is accessible through the Link Monsters, you could go like Gofu Token into Link Spider then Gofu+other Token into Goblin beneath it. Get the Extra NS then turn Goblin into Mermaid.

 

EDIT2: That said, just to be clear I'm not calling OP! or broken! before seeing the Main Deck in full. Just nice cards here is all, but like a lot of links, quite powercreepy

[goodfusion]

I'm happy we're getting a Level 8 World legacy monster. I've been testing out a World Legacy deck and having an 8 make Machnia Fortress much better in it.

[Darj]

So these are the true or corrupted forms of Jack Knights, at least judging from the pieces of armor in some of them. That's cool and all but not entirely thrilled about the story following similar steps to DT, in that Qlips had Infernoids inside. Doesn't help that both these and Infernoids are Fiend. At least these come with a poli-Attribute theme.

 

Flavor aside, they look too fair to me. Discard to do X is ok but you won't be generating too much advantage, unless they are co linked, which pays off the discard, but that means that either the first Troymare you Summon won't net the draw, or you get a Link on board first through other means. In either case you will need to put some resources to kickstart them. Then again, that's not too bad with Gofu, Grinder Golem, Needlefiber, etc. around.

[The Highlander]

And with those cards soul charge got even better ... like seriously, getting a co-link between Cerberus, Phoenix, Goblin and Griffin is incredibly simple with soul charge and otherwise takes 10 materials.

[Tinkerer]

Looking at these again, is it concerning the fact that none of them have OPTs on their effects?  I mean, under full optimal circumstances, you'd only go +1 per summon (-2 on summon and discard, +2 on effect and draw, +1 on whatever advantage gained by monsters in grave), which is admittedly probably not super easy, but the fact you can trade them around and the ability to use other, more advantage-gaining links alongside these seems like a recipe for trouble.

Which is why it will be completely censored in the TCG.

[Darj]

Wanted to comment on the Legacy monster too:

I like that it's a hand Trap, but I'm not too keen on its field effects: As of now there aren't ways to get multiple World Legacies on board so the protection isn't as significant, and personally I'm not a fan of giving the opponent stuff, in this case a Token that can very well be used for Link Summons, including Linkuriboh. I can see it helps Jack Knights, but even then, without any effects that assist its Summon besides generic stuff, it may not be that easy to set up. I can only think of Mausoleum that can already help Jack Knights.

[VCR_CAT]

Oh neat, you can revive World Spear with Special Schedule.

 

N-not that I'm thinking about doing anything with that or anything!

I was thinking Konami actually made a "broken" Word Legacy card. Also, its going to be the weapon for the eventual World Legacy Megazord Boss Monster.

they all have HOPTs on their "on Link Summon..." effect, except Goblin which I'm pretty sure is implicitly HOPT because of how extra NSs work

[Atypical-Abbie]

The rest of the cards were revealed, and it seems like they only have 1 Main Deck card. That is...strange. Especially since the card isn't like Aleister, where it is designed to work with other Decks. If they are intending these to work with other in the World Legacy lore, then I don't really understand how.

I think they will be the dark counterparts to the other "World Legacy" Archetypes (Krawler, Mekk-Knight, and Destroymare Iblee repreents World Chalice), also if we get a WIND, FIRE, and WATER Archetypes as well.

TIME TO PRAISE GOFU (again)

SS Gofu and Tokens.

Token + Gofu = Crystron Needlefiber

Needlefiber gets Glow-Up Bulb

Glow-Up + Needlefiber = Troymare Unicorn

-[Optional: Unicorn effect; discard 1, spin 1]

Mill 1, revive Glow-Up

Glow-Up + Token = Troymare Phoenix or Troymare Cerberus 

-[Optional: Phoenix/Cerb effect, discard 1, pop 1, draw 1]

Unicorn = Troymare Mermaid (above Phoenix/Cerb)

Mermaid effect, discard 1, SS Destroymare Iblee, draw 1

Iblee + Mermaid = Troymare Goblin

Goblin effect, discard 1, gain extra NS, draw 1

 

End result: Gain 2 bodies on board, neither in EMZ, gain a second NS without using the first, dicard 2-4 cards, draw 2-3 cards.

 

This can be done with other cards as well, just requiring tuner + 2 monsters, but this is a single card.

Y'all are totally missing out on the quality lore.

 

Ib isn't guttuing herself, Lee the World Chalice Fairy aka Evil Fairy Lady is making her do it. Evil Fairy Lady can then posses her to make Destroymare Iblee. It's literally in her name that they're combo'd in some way. Also It's important to note that before this happened, Arum met the lvl 5 knight and got him to not become a troy a la becoming a sword instead. That sword is the one doing the gutting.
