Mechas! Dragons! … And Alice in Wonderland?
Note: All names are provisional.
Theme 1: ライゼオル Raiseol or Raizeol
Xyz Monsters that unleash energy made of shining light, burning flames and and booming thunder!
Note: Probably Rise + Rai (Lightning). Probably also Zeol(ite), a stone used as a combustion catalyst.
ライゼオル・デッドネーダー Raiseol Deadnader or Raizeol Deadnader
Theme 2: M∀LICE
Seize control of the mysterious digital universe using all sorts of codes!
Note: Seize in Japanese can refer to clearing a game or a walkthrough for a game.
M∀LICE＜Q＞HEARTS OF CRYPTER
Theme 3: 竜華 Ryuuka (Longhua)
A high Level theme based around ascending to become dragons and centered around three dragons vying for supremacy!
Note: This theme is 竜 (Dragon) + 中華 Chuuka (i.e. an archaic name for China, pronounced Zhonghua in Chinese). Considering it’s three factions and they’re explicitly using a term that sounds almost like Chuuka, it’s probably a “Romance of the Three Kingdoms” inspired theme.

It’s always the same, it’s tired that Konami is fixated on the same Mecha, Dragons and Lolis
That’s what the target audience wants.
most are into the feet
*armpits
Mecha, Dragons and Lolis are life blood of modern Yu-Gi-Oh. Why are you here?
Yeah its honestly depressing how often they recycle the same 3-5 types every set. I’m tired of seeing giant robots, waifu warriors/spellcasters, dragons & fiends shoved down my throat. Give us more cool and actually playable stuff for types like Beasts, Rocks and Zombies.
Zach Roselle – Literally Pyros are t1 nowadays and not long before that we had Floowa (Winged Beasts) and Sprights (Thunder).
The hell you talk about?
The M∀LICE isn’t really a loli, let’s go over the requirements
Petite not really, as her arms and legs look farlly long.
Cute aspects: she looks more serious than cute
Youthful: ok this is the only one I think she really fits
Unfortunately..
Bro, imagine when yugioh fan series on gosh darn YouTube have more creative archetypes than komoney. Lol, lmao even
David – You’re correct. Tho worth noting that this is just card based obviously on Queen of Hearts and not Alice herself. Obviously Alice will be a loli and centerpiece of this deck, probably.
hmmm, A card game that has no Dragon, Mecha or Waifu, that’s a tough one
Agree I think Konami is running out of ideas. The Tenpai archtype look like the Tenyi archtype. One of the only archtypes that I think have neat designs are the Ghoti archtype.
thats exactly what i want
Justin Jones – you literally for months about GX-era deck support, literal Heroes, Dragons and Robot Dragons. I don’t think you are one that should talk about originality lmao dude.
And Tenpai are cool theme wise. Who would thought that Mahjong can be made into Yu-Gi-Oh! deck?
In my fish deck, there are none of these. Toad is the only cute card i need to thrive and survive! Sharks and fish for life!
aint no shot you’re calling the Malice card a loli that aint anywhere close lol
You’re cringe, that’s it
Name – thwy are talking about deck builder you brainfart simpleton
@Name
The major 3 theme of deck builder mainly only focus on those 3
I hate you.
ikr, it’s like all they ever do is put artwork on their cards. It’s honestly so disheartening seeing konami constantly churning out these intricately designed, well-rendered, thematically adhesive and downright cool artpieces, how far we have fallen since the days of Twin Long Rods #2.
The biggest thing about these replies cherry picking archetypes is that they forget they’re talking about Mediocre Decks from a bygone era that has not seen support in years, ones that you never see played as often as the “Big Three” Card Tropes.
I’ll admit, I simp for Mechas. I’m a Rank 10 player and a Gundam Fan, but I feel the hurt alongside the Dragon fans because compared to the “Waifu/Loli” decks that Konami pushes out, we’re often given the Pack Filler effects and artwork.
Yes, there are PLENTY of other archetypes out there. You can cherry pick all day, but do you ever see them played? Do you ever see them being given meta support beyond that one guy in your locals that made it work?
Come on, we’re all playing a game with rules like legal jargon. You should be able to notice these patterns, too.
I don’t care if it’s bad or not I am 100% playing Ryuuka when it releases. Those arms look so goofy.
im going to…
The CEO of Konami really SIMPatizes with the dragons a lot
Talking like YGO OCG is a new game.
the three yugioh genders,: dragon, robot, woman
Early guesses:
– Raiseol: Explicitly an Xyz deck but probably like Spright in that it’s LIGHT/FIRE split.
– Malice: Almost certainly Cyberse. If it’s not another Link deck it’d be cool if it was a Fusion deck.
– Longhua: Maybe a Pendulum deck? Gonna guess it’s a tri-typed theme split between Dragon, Wyrm, and Illusion.
Now the real questions:
– Which of the three Decks will be the most competitive Deck?
– Which of the three Decks will be the most disappointing?
– Which of the three Decks will have the Ultra Rare ratio in the TCG?
Dragons competitve, Alice in wonderland dissapointing (Its the art im interested in so just the omen its bad) Mechas Ultra rare ratio
Wouldnt Dragon, Wyrm And Sea Serpent/Reptile make more sense
Reptile’s already part of the Ragnaraika tri-type, but Sea Serpent isn’t a bad idea.
I think wyrm, dragon, Dino would make more sense. We’ve already seen those being paired up before.
The M∀LICE archetype is the coolest thing I have seen in ages!! So stoked!!
raiseol looks like burning gundam tbh
Raiseol – Thunder, Pyro, and/or Machine theme. Maybe FIRE Thunder? Xyz monsters might need specific Type or Attribute materials based on description.
M∀LICE – Probably a mono Cyberse theme that needs certain conditions on the board to activate their effects/advance the game state. The backrow is likely based around the objects or places in Alice in Wonderland.
Ryuuka – A Wyrm theme with three boss monsters – probably red, blue, and green – that combine into the white one.
So, we have the following:
– Generic Mecha Deck Number XYZ
– Cardfight!! Vanguard Deck
– Arceus Dragon Type Deck
Basically, the trinity of these packages.
Omg that is so funny
Is it Digimon ? :3
Huh? why vanguard ???
Konami is leaving money on the table by not getting on board the autistic elf girl trend but that’s their problem.
Have you forgotten about the Adventure token? It’s an isekai inspired deck with an elf enchantress
Not autistic but close enough
I’m stoked for M∀LICE, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is one of my all time favourite books, and Alice: Madness Returns one of my all time favourite games!!! I hope that we get cards based on all most loved characters . Alice, the Mad Hatter, Humptydumpty, the White Rabbit, the Mock Turtle and my favourite character, the Cheshire Cat!!!!
Play Black Souls (real)
If the archetype is Cyberse like the description implies, we already got Mad Hacker (based on the Hatter) a few years ago.
Oh hey, a second Romance of the Three Kingdoms archetype after Ancient Warriors.
So we got
– Guy Fierre Mechas
– Shaddoll but it’s Alice in Wonderland, and
– Some weird amalgam of Stellar Knights, those Zefer cards, and uh *checks notes* those robot machines used to fight off the Worms from Duelist Terminal lore or whatever.
Did you mean Vylons.
Did you mean Zefra.
Did you mean tellarknights?
The machines that fought off the worms were the Allies of Justice.
Wait, didn’t we recently have “Top Hat Hare the Silhouette Magician”? It doesn’t necessarily have to be indicative of anything, but it seems very coincidental to me that it debuted recently and now we have an archetype based on A.W. Will Malice be a new trap deck?
That one is so cool, surely I’m going to buy 3 copies of that bunny
Horrible designs… Wtf is that dragon’s legs?? A mech overdesigned as always.. and an expected loli too, which at least has a decent art (I never thought I would say that).
At least this one has better design than centurion, i would say
Given that the deck build packs used to support older themes or give old cards actual support, do you think M∀LICE might be sort of “building around”/grandfathering in/otherwise including Mad Hacker?
(By “building around”, I mean less “building a strategy with that as an end goal” and more “creating a theme to be home to this card”)
@raven writing desk
That would actually be pretty cool!
The dragon’s legs looking weird is clearly intentional. Its entire anatomy is weird.
bro its kinda cool its like arceus if you think about it
@pain
Impostor
Bruh can y’all give us Beast type archetypes ??
dragons ascending to wyrm similar to evol dino ascending to dragon.
Loving all three of these aesthetically! Very curious to see how M∀LICE gets translated, since the last time we had an ∀ symbol in the name of an archetype it got completely dropped in English, which would be harder to do here.
They can’t traslate to simply Malice because we already have:
-Malice, lady of lament
-Malice doll of demise
-Malice Ascendent
-Malice dispersion
And some others
they could do M-Alice
A Alice in Wonderland archtype does interesting. I like when Konami does an archtype based on another property. It one reason why Kozmo is one of my favorite archtypes.
Same I even picked up the 3 tcg psychic cards that came out a couple months ago that everyone said was basically kozmo support easily one of my favorite decks.
IM GOING TO M∀LICE
THIS MAN GETS IT
Cyberse Link Wonderland? Ew. Tragedy for my favorite childhood book.
Dragons, girls and machines. Why am I not surprised. DBP hasn’t done a single Insect theme. The only Dinosaur theme they’ve made doesn’t even count as an archetype. Atlanteans remain the only Sea Serpent deck. We still have no FIRE Ritual deck or WIND Fusion deck though somehow Chimera is now the closest that we’ve come. It’s been over a year since debut and we still don’t have a pure Illusion deck either.
So-called Raika in question
Bottom of illust for Alice archetype has quite a bit of unused space, so maybe Pendulum archetype?
Mono-Cyberse Pendulums would be cool.
I think Malice might be a pendulum archetype based on how the art trails off at the bottom
Mono-Cyberse Pendulums would be cool.
The Raizeol one looks ripped straight out of Megaton-kyuu Musashi
Damn that’s underrated if you know you know about that budden gem
Yawn archetype.
iron man suit
Finally, I can ascend and become Like a Dragon…. 8: Infinite Wealth
oh and uh
obligatory I’M GOING TO ALICE
A wiseman of highest culture.
who’s ever design Genesis Longhua could be same artist as edlich archetype
it has same vibe
It reminds me of the Albaz fusions
This isn’t even close to a loli, the brainrot has to go.
if you don’t have giants boobs or an ugly face, you are a loli, at least that’s how the gringos operate.
ROTK DECK LET’S GOOOO
i have never met a fanbase complain as much as you people lol
can it be perfect machine king support?
Lolis that ascend into dragons… Looks like they have discontinued dragonmaids, and they are the new dragonmaids from now on
I’m going to M∀LICE.
pyro/thunder mech.
alice in cyberseland.
another chinese lore based dragon.
dammit konami.
The Xyz Deck has a slight Mega Man touch to it. I like that i take 3 of it
since it’s computer themed, the M in M ALICE might me “Malware” – because computers
Alice is typically a name used in Cryptography as a placeholder name for someone sending a message (usually to Bob). So that might be the secondary theme.
In some notations, when an attacker is attempting to masquerade as Alice, the attacker will be called Malice, but that’s not a universal standard.
Surprised Malice wasn’t a TCG exclusive theme, since TCG usually gets the western story stuff.
Also, how much we gonna bet that the upside down A is gone in the TCG?
Considering the color gems on the back of the dragon match the colors often used to represent each kingdom for Wu, Wei and Shu, I’d definitely believe it’s another three kingdom’s archetype. Maybe they’ll be better than ancient warriors were, even if they won’t match the theme as well.
The name of the MAlice card resembles actual code,more specifically a data type. In some programming language “M∀LICE＜Q＞” could be read as M∀LICE of type Q (which definitely stands for queen). We can expect to get M∀LICE＜K＞ and and other playing cards .
Also the reverse A symbol is found in mathematics and is essentially a shortcut for “for all”,tho I doubt it’s mathematical meaning has any role in the name.
High level dragons, maybe new Light and Darkness Dragon support ^^
Lets see now…
Raisol/Raizol – I’m making a guess on either being Thunder overall, or Machine with effects that are supported by other types, such as the shown Deadnader and Thunder, given he’s got a a segment of a Dam’s electrical generator in each shoulder
MVLICE – Its most likely Cyberse, but I’m going to hold off on anything else until the theme’s effects get posted. Given the shown monster is
Longhua – kinda torn between it being a Dragon or Wyrm archetype, or going with a Dragon/Wym/Illusion triad. But how much do you want to bet all three of the “dragons” have the Red/Blue/Green trio or orbs, and since Guanba has red on top, the other two will have blue or green rotated on top instead
Turn Alice Gundam
Boring anime drago, boring anime waifu, boring anime mecha, Konami please get someone who can add fresh concepts to the franchise by using the real world’s wide array of mythos and creatures

Arceus in Yu-Gi-Oh LOL
