That’s just Gavis Bettel for the 7
That’s certainly someone who’d talk about Quirk Chungus
I thought it was Allen Walker, lol.
Everyone seems to have forgotten that this deck can now play Sophia, Goddess of rebirth as their Win condition.
Since they can VERY easily bring all 4 types to field, fusion ritual, synchro and xyz.
And With some Dark Faury support or something, its possible to searxh sophia. Or use Small world to do so.
@Fax So whaat you are saying is that the new power patron support would perfectly synergize with this? Because the boss has a similar summoning condition, and it also can speciffically search dark fairys
Great another dogwater meme archetype
id rather have that than another another splashable engine like mitsu
you’re a dogwater meme archetype
We call them “disappointment random archetype reveals” in America because nobody ask for this. Lmao But yeah I agree.
@DesperateATM Never heard that phrase in my life, Americans aren’t a monolith.
Im sorry do you not read
White clown is tribute summon from any extra deck monsters
and guess what nine out of ten times your opponent is going to be summon a two types of extra deck monsters
the clown clan led by Whiteface….that sounds wrong
Whiteface is literally the name of a kind of clown, the fact your immediate reaction upon reading it is to scream racism is your own problem.
Splashable for Tribute summon decks?
Im guezsing they gonna play Cards like the Vanitys or Majesty fiend stuff..
Its basically Monarch and Stun support archetypes
dont be a butt?
I’m not screaming racism, just possible the possible inference the name can give others
The japanese name is Whiteface, which is a very literal translation. It has nothing to do with a certain white supremacist group. You didn’t have to make that connection or post it publicly, but you did. So yeah, you’re the one trying to be offended by something unoffensive.
@Anon and FZVT, it’s clearly just a joke, you weirdo rubes. Stop being such whiny snowflakes.
Missed opportunity not to use Batman’s Joker or an image from The Joker Movies.
I love the whimsy, also new face is makes me smile
Is that allen walker from d gray man in artwork of rehearsal?
Wrll I like it for the story
Hard to believe we only have 11 cards left and about 2 weeks to reveal them.
No wonder we didn’t get a daily yesterday
This archetype has me completely lost; I don’t really understand the win condition or how they expect us to use it
it very much looks like its meant to be a control style deck that grinds you out and keeps generating advantage, drawing more cards and summoning more things, with Whiteface and the traps acting as disruption and the Ritual/Fusion/Synchro/Xyz acting as passive buffs for the main guy (since their effects are continuous and dont need to activate).
seperately their effects can act as a means of taking the one summon type your opponent’s deck specializes on and just fully wiping their field and grave
issue is, theres simply not enough main deck 1 carders for this to realistically function in advanced constructed. AND you cant use the board/gravewipe if your opponent uses links and/or pends mostly. maybe itll be genesys playable due to lower power level and no need for those 2 summoning types…?
but idk these dont read like very good cards to me, as is. they kinda just, need more main deck cards that do the thing, only rehearsal and the ritual actually act as 1.5-card combos, everything else is a 2-card combo which is a horrible idea in a deck with only up to 15 different main deck cards that can be activated/summoned turn 1. the fact you’re also locked out of ED effects for 2 turns means you cant reliably use this as an engine in most decks either so… either this gets the most unbelievable wave 2 ever or this reads like Argostars 2 to me
The Link and Pendulum will be added in Chaos Origins. but watch the Link be a link-1 that searches a field spell lmao, plus maybe a counter trap, equip spell, and whoever new face is being the lacrima of the deck idk
this strikes me as something of a swiss army knife of decks….alot archtype decks tend to focus on a particular summon mechanic,so this archtype is built in a matter that it can rabidly adjust to giving the middle finger at what ever kind of card your opponent is commiting to.
and more so there are a few weird older cards that are really hard to use since you need one of each a ritual,fusion,Xyz and synchro out…..and this is just the deck to make that stubborn condition happen.
take Sophia godess of rebirth,shes a body that hits like a truck and bannish wipes litterally ALL your opponents resources when summoned and her summon and effect cant even be responded too.
but she needs you to banish one of each card type on the field to play,which this deck supplies in a snap.
The win condition of this deck is most likely that the opponent has an empty board, and then they can get some damage in
They basically have quick effect mass removal for both graveyards and fields for most (sadly not yet all) monster types, which allows them to prevent the opponent from building a board
This archetype looks like they could be used as a secondary supportive archetype for many other decks, since their lock only applied after they you activated the summoning effect, and not before, so they can be used as additional disruption. Also since they use a lot of tributing and tribute summoning, they themself can get around some special summoning locks, at least for the boss
This deck on its own will disrupt and outgrind the opponent, and while it is combined with something else it will mostly add disruption at the cost of not having activated effects on the field from your extra deck options
This deck definitely has potential, but so see how good it is, we need the link monster, and we need somebody who is skilled enough to actually pilot it
oh yea, also this combined with monarchs is a no brainer
if you feel like a slow playing it, then you got it right, if you summon I:P then you are a clown
At first glance these cards suck but they can easily bring out Sophia turn 1 or turn two to break a board and hand rip
i was thinking the exact same thing…and i bet there’s some other cards that benefit from having all 4 card types out at once.
I was thinking of splash them in manorchs maybe?
Straight up Runick support
Interesting idea for konami to make an archetype based on the United States Federal Government.
Lmao i agreed. United stated of Earth Police
Bro your S-Force?
This would a been a good opportunity to finally give us Psycho-Puppet.
Cute. Pale Moon inspired archetype. Kidding by the way. But the art is good.
Wake me up when Konami start printing good cards again
You’re awake now 😳
You’re awake now
Circus themed archetype revolving around one guy that has multiple extra deck monsters that each focus on shutting down a different monster type? Isn’t this just Cyborg-type for tcg?
Huh, go figure, the clown archetype is weird. It’s interesting for sure, though.
Tribute summon payoffs are no laughing matter konami and should be more common. Of course clown wife is teased for a future set alongside the link beast-warrior.
Will probably wait until Chaos Origins to see what else they get given they’re missing a Pendulum Monster(s) and a Link Monster and might possibly get other Main Deck monsters to Tribute Summon besides Whiteface (the Pendulums themselves could be such monsters).
whiteface is the crowned clown of d gray man, but i love that artwork maybe this archtype will be included in VBEX6
no field spell? if we get one for this it better be called “clown clan big top”
There is no way in hell it wont have “circus” in the name xD
The first card looks like Allen Walker from D.Gray-man.
This is a really good archetype. Despite what it looks like, every single monster is a chainblockable boardwipe
hm….i wonder….this could make Sophia godess of rebirth playable.
Reminder that the new Power Patron spell can add Sophia (she is a Dark/Fairy) soo…
Feels gimmicky tbh. Could be wrong, but I don’t see it being done very often
Can’t believe Konami is spoiling the next D.Gray Man arc 3 years in advance :T
I appreciate that the s/t that summon out the monsters give you the benefit of their continuous effects without turning them into turbo link fodder, your archetypal monsters actually being center stage what a novel concept
Performage got some clown competition.
But also, when do we get Jester support for 5Ds?
This is very much those Jester cards from 5D’s and the manga version which was Ritual but both were semi-control decks
maybe Lazars deck from 5ds?
Monarch or draco maybe?
Diablo is just the Spanish for Devil
Clown clan white face, clown clan new face… i think we all know what to expect next 👀
oh no
The Clown clan discriminates against all card colors equally immersion ruined
tru
Hi Pomni. Welcome to the Digital Circus that is Yu-Gi-Oh! I, the Ringmaster will guide you through the Circus Act that is most of the YGO Org comment section as well as certain parts of the Fandom in general.
Silliness. Regardless the Outfit design does remind me of Pomni’s a bit imo. As in her Jester Features.
It’s a deck that really want you to tribute summon and use Sophia.
Monarchs, Draco, Sophia… I suppose Fuwa can do something here, too?
It’s also a deck that has a bunch of Extra Deck Monsters that are easily Summonable and in the same set as Power Patrons recent upgrades that has an Illusion Monster as a boss that gives the options to play Nightmare Apprentice for the Illusion stuff for Power Patrons.
It’s probably going to be more of It’s own thing eventually. But the fact it can Special Summon resources the Level 12 Pendulum needs with ease isn’t something people should overlook imo.
As a tribute engine? The rituals are just consistent advantage too. It is activated on being tributed, so something like drytron and megalith can take advantage of it.
Already teasing the new card huh, also, I really love how monstrous they all look
One thing to note – Rehearsal doesn’t specify WHOSE monsters were tributed that turn and it’s during each End Phase. So, if you play against Mitsu you’ll always get at least 1 draw and if you nibbed an opponent’s board with a couple different monster card types, you get equally many draws in the End Phase.
My first impression of this archetype was “what a disjointed mess” but the more I look at it, the more I realize it has potential if you pair it with strategies that like to (or at least can) tribute a lot and can potentially be pretty terrifying in its boardbreaking abilities on both turns.
IF Herald survives the banlist, Fidraulis Harmonia is an insane tech in the deck since it has literally no downsides here (you can’t actibate the effects of Extra Deck monsters anyway) and it can either be a major disruption with Malong/Packbit or a decent one (destroying a monster, non-targeting either way) and get your stuff going by searching the Ritual. Even sending the new Stardust Synchro somewhat makes sense since it can net you a free body from the Extra Deck because you tribute so much, but you wouldn’t be able to activate its effect so it’d only be half-useful.
Is that “Sophia, Goddess of Rebirth” support!?
Just realized that this also pairs nicely with Lair of Darkness! The Fusion monster is essentially a second Mudragon, so a great target with Super Poly and Lair, and there are several cards that tribute for cost in this engine, meaning you can take full advantage of Lair. It’s starting to look like a pretty fun strategy! 😀 And I like that it can go first AND second inherently.
Do monsters forget from where they were summoned once they are removed from the field? I really hope so, because if not this whole archetype doesnt work
Also… come on, ofc the link one isnt included in the first wave, because if it has the same effect of shuffling back all links, it would be actually usefull
Yes and No.
It depends on the wording on the ability that special summons them from the ED. In this case we special them from extra, ignoring their summoning conditions. This means they were not properly summon such as an effect of a monster with an alternate summoning condition like Nevra the Power Patron of Creation, or an affect would end in (This is considered a Fusion Summon).
This means stuff like Monster Reborn can’t revive them as they were not “properly” summoned.
Allen Walker is that you? Even that furry girl in the XYZ looks like Road Camelot
Oh no, he’s hot!
I love that I’m so simple to excuse how strange the cards are solely because the art is SO DAMN GOOD
Welp…we all knew it would happen one day. An archetype that can summon Sophia Turn 1 consistently. The new Power Patron cards can cheat out all the Extra Deck types in 1 turn, but these Clown cards do it even better, while including Ritual Monsters. A generic DARK Fairy searcher (Sophia) was just revealed too, so Small World is no longer needed either.
Sophia’s days are numbered now. Banishing all cards in existence at Spell Speed 4 (regardless of location) won’t be allowed for long. And doing it Turn 1 definitely won’t be allowed. You saw what happened to Trickstar Reincarnation.
Ironically the most hated decks, Maliss and Kashtira, are exclusively unaffected by Sophia’s effect lol
Maliss and Kashtira are solved by Majesty’s Fiend. This deck can turbo it out just as easily.
Naw, kinda gimmicky
There’s one empty spot in the set above Clown Clan Flare. It would be nice if it was Paladin of Archfiend Dragon. Chazz’s Armed Dragon got a Paladin. I feel like RDA should get one too. Borreload has a Ritual, though its not a Paladin.
Man talk about clowning around this year.
But yeah the deck as potential with some like vanity’s or Monarchs and on its own.
Old cards like Sophia and others can be used now.
But just remember this is probably not all the cards yet.
WTF are these spells?? Actually ridiculous
Diablo is a Super Poly target, if nothing else.
