Archetype you hate the most

[The Nyx Avatar]

While I don't like Shaddoll, Burning Abyss, Sattellarknight, and Performage, the archetype I never liked (and even with new support):

While I don't like any archetype worse than Qliphort, the archetype I never liked (and even with new support):

I really hate Tellarknights. I've never liked them.

 

"Oh my god! He normal summoned a level 4 monster. Give him a bunch of rank 4 monsters that generate huge advantage."

I don't know anything about YGO, so I'll go with MtG. I hate Bogles simply because they are a meta deck that is good against almost any deck I am spectacular with.

[Βyakuya]

Sacksworns. The pieces of the engine have some uses for decks like Infernoids, but the whole deck is just: I pay half my deck to summon 3 JD in a turn. Even when Dragon Rulers died I still despised them. 

[vla1ne]

I don't like pendulum in general (not hate, but i just don't like them all that much) and the archetype that symbolizes this the most so far was igknights. not hard to beat, but just the way they work disgusts me. set scales, blow them up, set scales, blow them up... continue until you can drop a field and go for an OTK. the entire deck is essentially one effect on multiple different monster levels.

[LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow]

Eh I think all archetypes have their place in media, I don't really hate any of them as long as that's not all a character is. Though even if it is, if its the right kind of show/game/etc I can let it pass. Particularly comedy. Because they can be entertaining. But archetypes can often be a good base for a character if you let it grow and....

Oh wait. Not that kind?

Despite being a huge fan of both synchros, I think psy-frames as a whole are very poorly made.

May I ask why?

[Hallohallo]

We'll never be friends. :(

 

I never liked Shaddolls, Qlis and Nekroz. There are more, but I forgot..

It's no secret that I hate more or less every LIGHT archetype ever.  I used to like Lightsworns once upon a time, but this was also when I thought edgelord characters that had snowflakey powers and retrospectively horrible personalities and backstories were cool to RP.  PSYFrames are a guilty pleasure admittedly, but that doesn't mean I particularly like them.

 

Those aside, there are three decks in particular that I really can't stand.  In order of how much I hate them, there's Raidraptors, Qliphorts and Infernoids.

 

I've never made any effort to hide that I really, really don't like the xyz mechanic.  The only xyz I ever use are splashable R4s, and a copy each of Nova & Infinity in my zombie deck.  Arc-V saw me adopt the term "xyz scum" as if it were my own child.  And the best representative for the term as far as characters go (and by far my least favorite in the show) was and will always be Shun.  Shun is at least 40% of the reason I have such strong feelings about Raidraptors, and the other 60 is distributed among "Their name implies Dinosaur, their appearance Machine, but they're actually Winged Beast", "They're just Blackwings (another deck I loathe) for xyz", and "I mostly play Superheavy and have a sheet matchup".

 

Qliphorts left a very bad taste in my mouth after they first hit the game, with Scout and Saqlifice both at three.  Now with Towers Turbo, we have a 3-tribute summon whose recurring tribute materials funk up your field on being tributed, and presuming you have Monolith up, you more or less get a Pot of Greed on each End Phase.  And that's before going over Towers itself.

RIP Qliphort.  May it burn in hell for all eternity like it deserves to.

 

As for Infernoids, I find their art, lore, and playstyle all unappealing and they're just simply not fun to go up against.  I'd go on about these like the above two, but at this point I just want to finish typing, call this post done, and go play some League.  So there you have it.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

At present, I don't really care for new era Monarchs, especially given the Field Spell (which is a black eye for most ED decks, and that's about a lot of stuff) and Pantheism (does too much as-is; should've been limited to hard OPT on both effects).

 

Not really fond of Entermate/Performapal, but that's more/less due to my feelings on Yuya part of the time.

(That, and how many times it popped up on those Japan lists, although in conjunction with Mages as EmEm [i'm not using the TCG one])

 

I'm trying them out on the side though, in case I'm forced to play it IRL. (At present, most of the parts are fairly cheap)

I know I mentioned Qlis in that other thread; may need to reconsider opinion now that Towers is gone, and we have Skybase/Kernel as a replacement. May be the same, but maybe it won't.

skybase is awful

PSYframes are horribly designed as an archetype. They are based entirely around making your opponent unable to play yugioh, but is ironically countered by just playing normally.

 

It's a shame because with a more stable and consistent playstyle that isnt reliant on one or two cards, due to the pool of Synchros they have, they'd be really good. Also a sidenote, non-synchro PSYframe art sucks balls.

;_;

 

All of those points you made are what I adore about the archetype: That they stun your opponent while giving you advantage but a clever player can get around it (making it not so horrible to play against as floodgate-heavy decks and imo more fun to play with), that they focus on using few specific cards, and that they all have cool artwork.

 

 

Anyway, I don't really dislike any archetypes that much but I have only ever enjoyed 1 or 2 games I have played against Infernoids.

i don't like decks being weak, really.

[goodfusion]

But they're not weak. I beat an Earthbound Immortal deck with them!!!!

Yes, and I beat a Performage "Clownblade" Deck with Fabled.

@Tyretian Come back after you, say, defeat Majespecters with them.

 

Speaking of that, Majespecters. Let's take the concept of Pendulum monsters with innate protection from Qliphorts, amp it up to high heavens so that they can't be answered by at least 80% of all card effects, and then supply them with a searchable backrow suite that lets them answer a lot of things. Oh, don't worry, the backrow requires that you need to Tribute these monsters - you know, the ones that can be spammed to hell and back with the Pendulum mechanic. #Balanced

It's actually easy to play against Majespecters if you play conservatively. They have a hard time trying to set up a proper scale sometimes, so if they don't often get spell searches, battling them gets over Tempest, and then you can swarm your field. And not to mention they die too a crapton of side cards that are immeasurable in number of ways to counter them past Game 1.

And funny enough, I like it.

But do you hate them?

[GarlandChaos]

There is no one archetype that I hate above all else, but a few that I absolutely DESPISE are:

 

>Lightsworns.

>Qliphorts.

>Shaddolls.

>Nekroz.

>BLACKWINGS.

 

...think that about covers it.
