If my guess is right, the dude's weapon looks like it can turn into a gun, a melee weapon (chainsaw axe thing), and probably a shield in coffin form.
Literally a God Arc from God Eater. Nice.
Either that or those are all different weapons in each of his forms and I'm just dumb

This is just a pure starter for Fabled
Back then when i was testing Runick Musket, i wonder if we could get a LIGHT Fiend ROTA (yes, specifically LIGHT Fiend) so i could search Musket monsters reliably while potentially triggering their effect.
Seeing the card comes into reality genuinely shocked me.
These look very promising. Kinda crazy how OCG themes can be comprehensive in about 7 cards and TCG themes can’t manage it in 14; feels like here, VV, Horus, Tenpai, Chimera etc theyve allowed the themes to have semi-generic overlap to sure up any lack of names (including with other cards released in close proximity to them), and made sure the themes had only or mostly cards that would actively contribute in some way and actually be considered.
Yeah I’ve heard that our world premieres are still made in the OCG 1st we just get them in the TCG earlier but card design like this makes me question that statement.
Ye it wasn’t so much a comment on design teams (since we don’t really know how that works iirc) as much as just, for whatever reason, they’re not allowed to be made as efficient, synergistic and chaffless as comparable core set themes of recent which can be sufficient with 7 cards or less out the gate and still get more to smooth their edges.
It’s weird though because those were well received. Honestly even Gold Pride was a very solid shot and felt like a shift back to those days, but then it was followed by Tistina which makes it its mission for everything to just slightly not work with everything else while also not having synergy with much of anything. It’s just annoying thinking that something like Horus could be a one-set TCG world premiere theme and alter the course of comp play suddenly, while leaving us more room for imports/free agent premieres by virtue of not even needing to bloat to 14.

Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Abyss & Crusadia Equimax: "A new brother!"
Also if the (2) effect is worded like pre-errata Night Assailant, it could perform interesting recursion engine with Ritual Dogmatika.
With the two link monsters' effs to equip, would they trigger the magical musketeer effs if they're summoned to their respective columns, or is it a monster effect to equip?
It's a monster effect that activates from the GY, but even if it was a spell/trap card effect, cause it activates in the GY and not in a spell/trap zone, it still wouldn't trigger a Musketeer in the same column anyway.
I think accesing the link 1 doesn't do full combo, it tribute itself to summon the main deck monster and then it stops there unless you can link the main deck monster somehow, as the link 1 can only be summoned once per turn.
Could maybe use Magical Musketeer Max to get you a bunch of LIGHT Fiend monsters then use one to make the Link-1 Fiendsmith then turbo the main deck
Dunno how that factors into using Moon Goddess but it's something
A combo I found out with Magical Musket is:
* NS [Starfire](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Magical_Musketeer_Starfire), then activate [Sanctus](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Fiendsmith_Sanctus), summoning a Token
* Starfire then SP [Caspar](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Magical_Musketeer_Caspar) from Deck
* LS [Max](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Magical_Musketeer_Max) using Starfire (Max effect here depends on what opponent has, so either more Magical Musket monsters or spells/traps)
* LS [Requiem](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Fiendsmith_Requiem) using Max, then tribute to summon [The Fiendsmith](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/The_Fiendsmith)
* LS [Sequentia](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Fiendsmith_Sequentia) using The Fiendsmith and Token, then activate its effect to FS
* FS [Dies Irae](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Fiendsmith_Dies_Irae), by shuffling from GY, The Fiendsmith, Starfire and Max
* Equip both Sequentia and Requiem to Dies Irae
* Now you have a monster with 3400, untargetable and 3 non-target negates, while also having Casper for any further Magical Musket plays.
I'm curious what the combo is with the card though beyond being a generic Link 2, Fiendsmith have a Link 2 already. Like how does Moon Goddess interact with the other Fiendsmith cards in the combo?
Any 2 monsters is actually full Orcust combo too thanks to Beatrice.
But why do that when you can just floodgate your opponent thanks to Transaction Rollback.

Not too sure why’d u summon her tbh
It’s also OCG only(for now) & I guess that’s cool for sticking a fiendsmith engine into a random deck but I’m unsure whether most decks would want to do that(at least for rn).
With just The Fiendsmith you already get to Dies Irae + Sequentia without using your normal summon. So you can just use Sequentia for further plays and then use its second effect to equip it to Dies Irae.
And since this cards don't lock, they can be splashed in many other decks, not just light fiend ones.
Also, you can even use just an engine of 3 The fiendsmith + 3 Tractus + 1 Sanctus to make Beatrice or other rank 6 or link 2.
> With just The Fiendsmith you already get to Dies Irae + Sequentia without using your normal summon
Do you mind detailing how you get to this? With The Fiendsmith alone I can fetch Sanctus, get a Token with which to make Requiem. Requiem summons another Fiendsmith then the Fiendsmith from the GY can shuffle back Requiem to summon itself. That gives you two Link Materials for Sequentia, but at this point your GY being only two copies of Fiendsmith makes it one material short of Dies Irae.
One way to do it (though it requires playing a soft garnet in the deck):
1. Fiendsmith to search Tractus
2. Tractus to search Fabled Lurrie, then discard Lurrie
3. Lurrie special summons itself because it was discarded
4. Link into Requiem
5. Requiem tribute itself to summon another Fiendsmith
6. Fiendsmith in GY shuffle a LIGHT Fiend to special itself
7. Link into Sequentia
8. Sequentia summon Dies Irae by shuffling both Fiendsmith in GY and the other LIGHT Fiend left over
That said, that combo alone does not manage to actually get Sequentia into the GY so you can equip it to Dies Irae. That said, you still have the GY effect of Tractus to summon Lacrimosa, which would do it, and obviously, since you haven't normal summoned yet, you can continue link climbing with Sequentia to get it into the GY to equip.
I assume there will be another main deck Fiendsmith to summon with Requiem though that will make this combo far smoother.
Oh right, I somehow missed that you can equip from field as well.
Though like I said, you can make Lacrimosa with the GY effect of Tractus, revive Dies Irae, and then equip Sequentia if you have nothing to continue link climbing.
So new archetype revolving around fusion Light Fiends called Demonsmith. One man deck with a weird coffin that is capable of storing demons and transforming itself & its wielder, and main protagonist has some sort of tragic backstory with a dead loved one.
I smell secret rares galore.
>a weird coffin that is capable of storing demons
>main protagonist has some sort of tragic backstory with a dead loved one
Otto/Luocha joined the chat
Fiendsmith pitch for Fiendsmith Sanctus
sanctus summon token make link 1
link 1 sack for fiendsmith
fiendsmith in grave shuffle back link 1 to self summon
make beatrice or any rank 6 you want for no normal summon
do what you will with this information
Hmm, so 6 cards (the RoTA, the Fiendsmith themselves) you could draw in your opener to get Rollback+any Normal Trap (DDG, the Mayakashi Floodgate, D Barrier, Lab Traps) of your choice online via Beatrice.
Coincidently, the Fiendsmith+Lab cards gives you a full power Chaos Angel.
Is it just me, or does the Link 2 look like this guy?

Set spoiler from RespectYGO.

Wouldn't be surprised if it made the decks actually playable but at the same time buffed every other deck. They've done that shit so many times already😂
So, with the new cards released, we only have one slot left for Fusions. Assuming it's for an anime-themed card and considering recent reprints, only Red-Eyes and Cyber Dragon seem suitable for that spot.
Now, impartially speaking, Red-Eyes seems to make a little more sense in terms of the theme of the pack: for the most part this pack seems more connected to Yu-Gi-Oh! DM with the theme of the cards (Exodia, a Dark Magician, and a promo featuring a Blue-Eyes), plus the fact that RE is an iconic monster better suited to a 25th anniversary pack of the game and that complete the OG trio with Dark Magician and Blue-Eyes. CyDra could also be there due to reprints in multiple products, but since they usually put CyDra supports in packs with "Cyber" in the name and that the Tactical Try Decks are coming out in June, with the GX anniversary in October I would more easily see it in the next one booster pack, especially if it were to be a VRAINS pack (which, as with Cyberstorm Access, could itself have "Cyber" in the name).
The positioning of the next anime theme in the list, assuming that there are at least two in this pack too, could clarify more easily whether there is actually one of these or if there was possibly something else.
It probably is Red-Eyes. Let's be honest, aside from a few splashes of support from things like Soul & Meteor Dragon, the last time Red-Eyes really got a wave of support with a cohesive strategy was the Equip based cards from the first Legend Duelist Pack. They are long overdue for another legacy wave. Hopefully it's Atticus-themed this time, though it'll probably be more DM era pandering.
The cover theme always take the first place on each section: Monster, Spell and Trap, so Millenium Cross which is JP053 is the starting point for Spell Cards in this set.
So two things, yes, and soulburner becomes the Joey/Jesse Anderson of the shower in season 2. Becoming the secondary protagonist.
Soulburner was a victim of the same incident that caused Yusaku’s trauma, the lost incident.
That bara eye-candy edgelord demonboi may be what actually gets be back to YGO...

finally I've been starving for new cards. Every time I get a notification, it's something about the quarter century chronicle or something
lmao the rota is ground xeno copy-paste
Hmm
Normal Summon Live Twin Ki Sikil/Lil
la, summon Lil la/Ki Sikil
Link into Evil Twin Ki sikil, summon Lil la from gy, extra now locked to fiend.
Link into Lil La, summon Evil Twin Ki Sikil from GY, draw 1 card
Link Ki Sikil and Lil La into Sunny. Tribute Sunny to summon back Ki Sikil and Lil La back. Link Ki Sikil into Requiem. Tribute it to summon Engraver of Evils.
Link Engraver and Lil La into Sequentia. Fuse Ki Sikil, and Sunny for Lacrimosa. Lacrimosa add Engraver to hand. Engraver discard for Tractus
Tractus add 2nd Engraver. Tractus GY effect fuse Engraver in hand, Lacrimosa, and Sequentia for Diesirae. Equip Sequentia and Requiem to it. Lacrimosa shuffle one of your Engraver for funny 1200 burn damage. Other Engraver can shuffle Lacrimosa to summon it from GY for any further play.
Pretty neat, wish we could incorporate paradisum somehow.
Jank is an understatement. Despair from the Dark was like, the only viable counter to Yata-lock since it can reborn itself after CED rips your entire hand.
The base looks promising good recursion, versatile and searchability
All missing is good payoff which i think just need to wait for someone to make a combo or there will be in archtype one in the future
The boss monster is quick effect non-targeting negation that becomes untargetable when equipped with the link 2, which is pretty good
Of course, the engine gives easy access to 2 lv 6 monsters without the normal summon or locking you into anything so it'll see play from just that
This deck looks like a decent start. one card combo into an untargetable monster with quick effect multinegates. Also a ton of recursion and no real locks unless you use the awful quick play.
it needs a secondary engine for sure. All I can see is have a plan for Santa Claws.
These cards are absolutely ridiculous
At the bare minimum, you can throw a small demonsmith package in any deck of 3 guy 1 quickplay and 1 link 1 in the extra and be able to summon high wave king caesar (on summon 5) before even using your normal summon off 1 card.
If I understand this right. Magical Musketeer Starfire + Demonsmith Sanctus can end on Demosmith Diesirae with both equipped link monsters + 3 cards left. 3400 atk and 3 non targeted negates.
Given that Magical Musketeer Max can be used as link material for the new link 1 Fiendsmith Requiem, you could:
* NS [Starfire](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Magical_Musketeer_Starfire), then activate [Sanctus](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Fiendsmith_Sanctus), summoning a Token
* Starfire then SP [Caspar](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Magical_Musketeer_Caspar) from Deck
* LS [Max](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Magical_Musketeer_Max) using Starfire (Max effect here depends on what opponent has, so either more Magical Musket monsters or spells/traps)
* LS [Requiem](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Fiendsmith_Requiem) using Max, then tribute to summon [The Fiendsmith](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/The_Fiendsmith)
* LS [Sequentia](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Fiendsmith_Sequentia) using The Fiendsmith and Token, then activate effect its effect to FS
* FS [Dies Irae](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Fiendsmith_Dies_Irae), by shuffling from GY, The Fiendsmith, Starfire and Max
* Equip both Sequentia and Requiem to Dies Irae
* Now you have a monster with 3400, untargetable and 3 non-target negates, while also having Casper for any further Magical Musket plays.
YOOOO FABLED SUPPORT. A shame you cannot use Abanc for the Link 1, but you can still use Kushano at least. I'm not even coping, the archetypal ROTA seems made with Fabled in mind
My God I live this theme, hopefully they can offer Magical Musketeers a decent boost, cause they're the main deck I want to pair this with.
Unfortunately, this does decrease the chance of Scareclaw support, but I'll still hold out hope for some Visas stuff in this set.
My brain knows I shouldn't, but my heart wants me to jam this into Magikey for the flavor and because there are a few combos you can do even with Magnificent Magikey Mafteal being the only Light Fiend in the deck.
You know there is an in-between right? Like 2-card combos for example? A 1-card combo without any restriction is unhealthy, that's all. Why did circular has been banned? Why Snake Eyes is almost tier 0? Why are Tenpai tiered in OCG despite being a battle phase archetype?
holy cow this is a massive Boost to light fiends!hell fiends in general the link 2 almost certainly will see play in DDD
insane main monster generic rota can go 1st or 2nd synergy with a bunch of stuff,likely need more names to be its own deck but these are obviously good like them a lot
This feels like a turbo Beatrice package. Tractus or Fiendsmith is 1-1.5c Beatrice without using your normal.
If going for more pure you can add a Fabled Lurrie (summons itself when discarded) to make the negate fusion with both links attached from Fiendsmith alone searching Tractus. (Fiendsmith search Tractus, Tractus search and discard/summon Lurrie, make link1 to summon Fiendsmith from deck, summon Fiendsmith from GY, Tractus fuse both Fiendsmith's into Lacrimosa who summons back a Fiendsmith, make link2 to shuffle lacrimosa+fiendsmith+fiendsmith/link1 to make Dies Irae).
Interesting cards with potential and more cards would help dramatically, but feels like reality will just be a turbo Beatrice engine with 3 Fiendsmith, 1 Sanctus, and maybe some Tractus.
Looks like they completely forgot **[Magical Musketeers](https://yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/Magical_Musket)** exist already.
I love the idea of another LIGHT fiend archetype. Just hate it when it steps in the toes of an an archetype that already done a similar gimmick. It being the exact same type is just salt to the wound, when the other archetype should’ve just got more support.
If this was a Magical Musketeer bonus supper it’d been far better.
I wasn’t initially sure what to make of this archetype as I watched the JustNutz guy on YouTube unveil them. As I’ve seen it make the rounds and see all the potential combos with this deck, I have to say that this deck is looking like a potential meta contender. Maybe not Tier 1, but maybe Tier 2 depending on other unrelated cards that may come out when this is released.
Fiendsmith can be used with a lot more than I originally thought like Dark World and Plunder, outside of the already obvious combos like Fabled and Musketeers. I’m excited to see what people come up with. I’m a MD player only, so it’ll be FOREVER until I can use this. Maybe I’ll try EDOPRO in the meantime.
I didn't notice the female entity in that card's artwork until you pointed it out. Interestingly, it feels somewhat familiar to Promethean Princess, due to the flames, horns, and pink body. Though I doubt that they're actually the same, they don't look that similar and this archetype supports Light Fiends.

yup!
[Source](https://yu-gi-oh.jp/news_detail.php?page=details&id=1884). Eight cards for new theme: "Demonsmith".
"Archforge" in the TCG /s
…shit that’s good.
More like archfiendforge or archfiendsmith. The "demon" part alone is translated to "archfiend"
As said, the "Archfiend" cards are called "デーモン" in the OCG (Read, Daemon). This theme is called "デモンスミス".
Nope, this uses a completely different spelling so it wouldn't be considered an archfiend.
Fiendforge?
Ygorganization calls them Fiendsmith, sounds ok.
Yeah that works. I think fiendforge is better but fiendsmith works too lol
Tcg will do something like Fiendtamer or some shit.
they'll call it Forge the Forgefur in TCG
Forging for forges, for all your forge needs.
If my guess is right, the dude's weapon looks like it can turn into a gun, a melee weapon (chainsaw axe thing), and probably a shield in coffin form. Literally a God Arc from God Eater. Nice. Either that or those are all different weapons in each of his forms and I'm just dumb

Back then when i was testing Runick Musket, i wonder if we could get a LIGHT Fiend ROTA (yes, specifically LIGHT Fiend) so i could search Musket monsters reliably while potentially triggering their effect. Seeing the card comes into reality genuinely shocked me.
This searching any light fiend is going to be wild. For example Archfiend Eccentrick is now a searchable spell/trap/monster removal
These look very promising. Kinda crazy how OCG themes can be comprehensive in about 7 cards and TCG themes can’t manage it in 14; feels like here, VV, Horus, Tenpai, Chimera etc theyve allowed the themes to have semi-generic overlap to sure up any lack of names (including with other cards released in close proximity to them), and made sure the themes had only or mostly cards that would actively contribute in some way and actually be considered.
Yeah I’ve heard that our world premieres are still made in the OCG 1st we just get them in the TCG earlier but card design like this makes me question that statement.
Ye it wasn’t so much a comment on design teams (since we don’t really know how that works iirc) as much as just, for whatever reason, they’re not allowed to be made as efficient, synergistic and chaffless as comparable core set themes of recent which can be sufficient with 7 cards or less out the gate and still get more to smooth their edges.
I feel like Kozmo and BA may have something to do with that.
It’s weird though because those were well received. Honestly even Gold Pride was a very solid shot and felt like a shift back to those days, but then it was followed by Tistina which makes it its mission for everything to just slightly not work with everything else while also not having synergy with much of anything. It’s just annoying thinking that something like Horus could be a one-set TCG world premiere theme and alter the course of comp play suddenly, while leaving us more room for imports/free agent premieres by virtue of not even needing to bloat to 14.
Because the ocg seems to dictate how strong TCG exclusives are and don’t want them to be strong since they don’t get it first
Majesty Fiend searcher
Hey can you not? Please? Thanks.
The deck doesn't even need to use its Normal summon anywhere 😬
Looks like that card’s gonna need to be banned.
extremely based
Well it synergies with Fabled and Magical Musketeer
THIS IS MM SUPPORT LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Just a reminder that moon goddess of the closed sky is light fiend so any 2 monsters = demonsmith combo
What is the full combo?
You can get the LINK-1 and then tutor from the deck. Not sure what the best use of that is though tbh
Probably Beatrice.
Moon -> Requiem -> The Fiendsmith. How you continue?
I think the Year of LIGHT has officially begun
And we already had Voiceless Voice. 😵💫
Finally, the White Duston searcher.
"The proudust of them all!"
White duston? House duston!!
Houseduston too
>**Demonsmith Sequentia** >(1) During your Main Phase: You can Fusion Summon 1 **Fiend** Monster from your Extra Deck by **shuffling** monsters from your GY into the Deck as Fusion Material. Fun Fact: Did you know Tearlament Kaleidoheart is a Fiend Monster? >**Demonsmith Diesirae** >(1) If this card is equipped with a Link Monster(s) (Quick Effect): You can negate the effects of face-up cards on the field (until the end of this turn), up to the value of the total Link Rating of the monsters equipped to this card >(2) If this card send to the GY: You can shuffle 1 other LIGHT Fiend monster in your GY into the Deck or Extra Deck, then target 1 card on the field; send it to the GY. Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Abyss & Crusadia Equimax: "A new brother!" Also if the (2) effect is worded like pre-errata Night Assailant, it could perform interesting recursion engine with Ritual Dogmatika.
1 main monster huh. It seem to be deck that supposed to pair with other Light Fiend monster which is pretty interesting play style.
Fabled is an interesting option since the search spell discards for effect
>(1) Add 1 LIGHT Fiend monster from your Deck to your hand, then discard 1 card. It's good support for Fabled
With the two link monsters' effs to equip, would they trigger the magical musketeer effs if they're summoned to their respective columns, or is it a monster effect to equip?
It's a monster effect that activates from the GY, but even if it was a spell/trap card effect, cause it activates in the GY and not in a spell/trap zone, it still wouldn't trigger a Musketeer in the same column anyway.
Magibullet Support, Let's GO!!!!
Probably not nearly as powerful as the full power Orcust Engine, but thanks to, any 2 effect monster is full combo.
What is the full combo?
No idea but it has immediately access to the link 1
I think accesing the link 1 doesn't do full combo, it tribute itself to summon the main deck monster and then it stops there unless you can link the main deck monster somehow, as the link 1 can only be summoned once per turn.
Could maybe use Magical Musketeer Max to get you a bunch of LIGHT Fiend monsters then use one to make the Link-1 Fiendsmith then turbo the main deck Dunno how that factors into using Moon Goddess but it's something
A combo I found out with Magical Musket is: * NS [Starfire](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Magical_Musketeer_Starfire), then activate [Sanctus](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Fiendsmith_Sanctus), summoning a Token * Starfire then SP [Caspar](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Magical_Musketeer_Caspar) from Deck * LS [Max](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Magical_Musketeer_Max) using Starfire (Max effect here depends on what opponent has, so either more Magical Musket monsters or spells/traps) * LS [Requiem](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Fiendsmith_Requiem) using Max, then tribute to summon [The Fiendsmith](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/The_Fiendsmith) * LS [Sequentia](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Fiendsmith_Sequentia) using The Fiendsmith and Token, then activate its effect to FS * FS [Dies Irae](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Fiendsmith_Dies_Irae), by shuffling from GY, The Fiendsmith, Starfire and Max * Equip both Sequentia and Requiem to Dies Irae * Now you have a monster with 3400, untargetable and 3 non-target negates, while also having Casper for any further Magical Musket plays.
Jesus I didn't even realize Requiem doesn't require Levels just any LIGHT Fiend lol
Granted you can also use the Token for Requiem, then use The Fiendsmith and Max for Sequentia.
If you summon calamity instead of caspar, any spell can give you another body and you dont need to run any more magical musket cards
Because she's the only generic LIGHT Fiend Link-2 monster in the game. PS : I guess ya could also use Knightmare Gryphon 🤷🏼♀️
I'm curious what the combo is with the card though beyond being a generic Link 2, Fiendsmith have a Link 2 already. Like how does Moon Goddess interact with the other Fiendsmith cards in the combo?
Any 2 monsters become a LIGHT Fiend material for the Link-2 to shuffle and fuse
And what does Moon Goddess have to do with that, it sounds like you're going straight from the Musket + Fiend to the Link 2 Fiendsmith
Young Goddess alone isn't full combo, ya need another LIGHT Fiend in your GY that is preferably Fiendsmith himself to do it
Any 2 monsters is actually full Orcust combo too thanks to Beatrice. But why do that when you can just floodgate your opponent thanks to Transaction Rollback.
https://preview.redd.it/r9eag932hpnc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3d0a2b7b49432db3bc05dbfa604d68a9dfdea154 Not too sure why’d u summon her tbh
It's a generic Light Fiend which can go into the Link 1
It’s also OCG only(for now) & I guess that’s cool for sticking a fiendsmith engine into a random deck but I’m unsure whether most decks would want to do that(at least for rn).
With just The Fiendsmith you already get to Dies Irae + Sequentia without using your normal summon. So you can just use Sequentia for further plays and then use its second effect to equip it to Dies Irae. And since this cards don't lock, they can be splashed in many other decks, not just light fiend ones. Also, you can even use just an engine of 3 The fiendsmith + 3 Tractus + 1 Sanctus to make Beatrice or other rank 6 or link 2.
> With just The Fiendsmith you already get to Dies Irae + Sequentia without using your normal summon Do you mind detailing how you get to this? With The Fiendsmith alone I can fetch Sanctus, get a Token with which to make Requiem. Requiem summons another Fiendsmith then the Fiendsmith from the GY can shuffle back Requiem to summon itself. That gives you two Link Materials for Sequentia, but at this point your GY being only two copies of Fiendsmith makes it one material short of Dies Irae.
One way to do it (though it requires playing a soft garnet in the deck): 1. Fiendsmith to search Tractus 2. Tractus to search Fabled Lurrie, then discard Lurrie 3. Lurrie special summons itself because it was discarded 4. Link into Requiem 5. Requiem tribute itself to summon another Fiendsmith 6. Fiendsmith in GY shuffle a LIGHT Fiend to special itself 7. Link into Sequentia 8. Sequentia summon Dies Irae by shuffling both Fiendsmith in GY and the other LIGHT Fiend left over That said, that combo alone does not manage to actually get Sequentia into the GY so you can equip it to Dies Irae. That said, you still have the GY effect of Tractus to summon Lacrimosa, which would do it, and obviously, since you haven't normal summoned yet, you can continue link climbing with Sequentia to get it into the GY to equip. I assume there will be another main deck Fiendsmith to summon with Requiem though that will make this combo far smoother.
>that combo alone does not manage to actually get Sequentia into the GY so you can equip it to Dies Irae. You can just equip it from the field.
Oh right, I somehow missed that you can equip from field as well. Though like I said, you can make Lacrimosa with the GY effect of Tractus, revive Dies Irae, and then equip Sequentia if you have nothing to continue link climbing.
So new archetype revolving around fusion Light Fiends called Demonsmith. One man deck with a weird coffin that is capable of storing demons and transforming itself & its wielder, and main protagonist has some sort of tragic backstory with a dead loved one. I smell secret rares galore.
I dig the art design, reminds me of one punch man. God I’m gonna have to pick these up and add them to my fabled deck.
It reminded me of gungrave more tbh
Lookin like Dante from Devil May Cry too.
Grave and Dante did the fusion dance and this was the result.
It remind me of gungrave (particularly that coffin) and chainsawman
>It remind me of gungrave Bro I was just about to say that! I don't care if Gungrave wasn't the inspiration, this it is in my heart.
Basically that guy from Witch and the Beast.
Or the main character from the not-that-well-known manga [Marry Grave](https://mangadex.org/title/aec1e443-e89e-4f35-8fdc-dd1beb234913/marry-grave).
I still remember 🥲
>a weird coffin that is capable of storing demons >main protagonist has some sort of tragic backstory with a dead loved one Otto/Luocha joined the chat
It’s the Coffin guy from Vash the Stampede, Nicolas D. Wolfwood!
Bassically a [Marry Grave](https://mangadex.org/title/aec1e443-e89e-4f35-8fdc-dd1beb234913/marry-grave) reference.
Fiendsmith pitch for Fiendsmith Sanctus sanctus summon token make link 1 link 1 sack for fiendsmith fiendsmith in grave shuffle back link 1 to self summon make beatrice or any rank 6 you want for no normal summon do what you will with this information
Send Rollback and Needlebug Nest to mill 5.
Or just make pilgrim reaper????
You can, but i want to assert dominance over my opponent.
Milling 5 and paying half your LP never felt this good 💀👌
Hmm, so 6 cards (the RoTA, the Fiendsmith themselves) you could draw in your opener to get Rollback+any Normal Trap (DDG, the Mayakashi Floodgate, D Barrier, Lab Traps) of your choice online via Beatrice. Coincidently, the Fiendsmith+Lab cards gives you a full power Chaos Angel.
Is it just me, or does the Link 2 look like this guy? https://preview.redd.it/9oo2vogpjmnc1.jpeg?width=688&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6ee29608217410d5da96705e365d03baa74ad647
Yeah, I immediately thought of that guy from my childhood seeing that link-2! What a blast from the past! :D
Despair was so cool, I always though he would’ve made a great looking super rare
Coincidence or not, it’s a badass cameo/reference!
same. I thought he was light fiend, but clearly he's not. I thought it'd be some weird deep cut
Set spoiler from RespectYGO. INFO will have 7 Link Monsters (046 - 052) https://preview.redd.it/fwg5tx6d8nnc1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=deadb51c4beaa9a8d93d9dcee5e2cb088dd2123f
Hopefully the S-Force link 2 😆🙏
Imagine if we continue the I:P storyline and ":P" becomes a proper archetype.
How dare you stick your tongue out at me
Sorry for sticking my tongue out at you :3
As long as you understand what you did
ofc ofc UwU
Can't wait for "O:P" to break the game
I'm calling it now, the next Link monster gonna be P:P if not X:P
Wouldn't be surprised if it made the decks actually playable but at the same time buffed every other deck. They've done that shit so many times already😂
🤷🏼 I'll take it
I read 7 Link monsters as Link 7 monster
That 5 link slot feel ominous not going to lied lmao
So, with the new cards released, we only have one slot left for Fusions. Assuming it's for an anime-themed card and considering recent reprints, only Red-Eyes and Cyber Dragon seem suitable for that spot. Now, impartially speaking, Red-Eyes seems to make a little more sense in terms of the theme of the pack: for the most part this pack seems more connected to Yu-Gi-Oh! DM with the theme of the cards (Exodia, a Dark Magician, and a promo featuring a Blue-Eyes), plus the fact that RE is an iconic monster better suited to a 25th anniversary pack of the game and that complete the OG trio with Dark Magician and Blue-Eyes. CyDra could also be there due to reprints in multiple products, but since they usually put CyDra supports in packs with "Cyber" in the name and that the Tactical Try Decks are coming out in June, with the GX anniversary in October I would more easily see it in the next one booster pack, especially if it were to be a VRAINS pack (which, as with Cyberstorm Access, could itself have "Cyber" in the name). The positioning of the next anime theme in the list, assuming that there are at least two in this pack too, could clarify more easily whether there is actually one of these or if there was possibly something else.
It probably is Red-Eyes. Let's be honest, aside from a few splashes of support from things like Soul & Meteor Dragon, the last time Red-Eyes really got a wave of support with a cohesive strategy was the Equip based cards from the first Legend Duelist Pack. They are long overdue for another legacy wave. Hopefully it's Atticus-themed this time, though it'll probably be more DM era pandering.
Wait how do we know it’s 7? It could just be more spells.
The cover theme always take the first place on each section: Monster, Spell and Trap, so Millenium Cross which is JP053 is the starting point for Spell Cards in this set.
NO ONE TELL SOULBURNER ABOUT THESE CARDS
Soulburner??? What does the Salamangreat guy has to do with this?
In the anime he has a traumatic moment as a result of dueling against despair from the dark
isn't that Yusaku, the main character?
So two things, yes, and soulburner becomes the Joey/Jesse Anderson of the shower in season 2. Becoming the secondary protagonist. Soulburner was a victim of the same incident that caused Yusaku’s trauma, the lost incident.
I've been holding onto that musket core of mine for 4 years now... Finally.
MUSKETHEADS RISE RAAAAAAAAAAH POPLAR OVERRATED MAX UNDERRATED LONG HAVE WE WAITED MUSKET ACTIVATED
Mr.Zeef wet dream. Fabled support.
That bara eye-candy edgelord demonboi may be what actually gets be back to YGO... https://preview.redd.it/f1ur8h7v5nnc1.png?width=1024&format=png&auto=webp&s=57bbf436a85a8088439e0031c58693b94ffe46f6
He do giving us a 'come hiter' kinda look 🥵🥵🥵
Oh no! We gonna have to suffer through the Magical Musketeers cope for 3 months again aren't we? Nice Fabled support tho.
>Oh no! We gonna have to suffer through the Magical Musketeers cope for 3 months again aren't we? Let's let them be happy XD
oh yea they cooked with these card arts
Yo the link 2 has Despair/Fear from the Dark! Our childhood favorites!
why do we have 5 link slots revealed because of this?!
finally I've been starving for new cards. Every time I get a notification, it's something about the quarter century chronicle or something lmao the rota is ground xeno copy-paste
Why is Kirishima on my feed?
kirishima is a pretty cool sumo wrestler
IKR!
your images are deleted, would be better to just directly link to the v-jump articles themselves from now on
Hmm Normal Summon Live Twin Ki Sikil/Lil la, summon Lil la/Ki Sikil Link into Evil Twin Ki sikil, summon Lil la from gy, extra now locked to fiend. Link into Lil La, summon Evil Twin Ki Sikil from GY, draw 1 card Link Ki Sikil and Lil La into Sunny. Tribute Sunny to summon back Ki Sikil and Lil La back. Link Ki Sikil into Requiem. Tribute it to summon Engraver of Evils. Link Engraver and Lil La into Sequentia. Fuse Ki Sikil, and Sunny for Lacrimosa. Lacrimosa add Engraver to hand. Engraver discard for Tractus Tractus add 2nd Engraver. Tractus GY effect fuse Engraver in hand, Lacrimosa, and Sequentia for Diesirae. Equip Sequentia and Requiem to it. Lacrimosa shuffle one of your Engraver for funny 1200 burn damage. Other Engraver can shuffle Lacrimosa to summon it from GY for any further play. Pretty neat, wish we could incorporate paradisum somehow.
I approve, and look forward to seeing this play in my own deck (if I can buy the cards without busting $200+ lmao)
The main deck guy will 100% be secret rare and the ROTA too probably
"What the hell is this?"
"This party's gettin' crazy!"
Cute Guy? Demon hunter? His weapon can absorb and change depending on situation? Post apocalypse world? Fusion archetype? Count me in!
I think it also references despair from the dark, which is an old card. From way back in the day some people used in jank yugioh
Jank is an understatement. Despair from the Dark was like, the only viable counter to Yata-lock since it can reborn itself after CED rips your entire hand.
Too true
Yo is that Despair of the dark in one of the link monsters
The base looks promising good recursion, versatile and searchability All missing is good payoff which i think just need to wait for someone to make a combo or there will be in archtype one in the future
The boss monster is quick effect non-targeting negation that becomes untargetable when equipped with the link 2, which is pretty good Of course, the engine gives easy access to 2 lv 6 monsters without the normal summon or locking you into anything so it'll see play from just that
Beatrice might get banned for sure now 💀
the link 1 being generic to light fiends and it being a good effect, so good the link 2 fusion effect using gy material as well super good
This deck looks like a decent start. one card combo into an untargetable monster with quick effect multinegates. Also a ton of recursion and no real locks unless you use the awful quick play. it needs a secondary engine for sure. All I can see is have a plan for Santa Claws.
The Quick Play that summons the Token doesn't even lock ya, it just prevents your non-Fiend. monsters from attacking during that turn
These cards are absolutely ridiculous At the bare minimum, you can throw a small demonsmith package in any deck of 3 guy 1 quickplay and 1 link 1 in the extra and be able to summon high wave king caesar (on summon 5) before even using your normal summon off 1 card.
Light fiends? Fabled support lets gooo
Fabled AND Magical Musket synergy. Don't mind if I do!
If I understand this right. Magical Musketeer Starfire + Demonsmith Sanctus can end on Demosmith Diesirae with both equipped link monsters + 3 cards left. 3400 atk and 3 non targeted negates.
Given that Magical Musketeer Max can be used as link material for the new link 1 Fiendsmith Requiem, you could: * NS [Starfire](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Magical_Musketeer_Starfire), then activate [Sanctus](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Fiendsmith_Sanctus), summoning a Token * Starfire then SP [Caspar](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Magical_Musketeer_Caspar) from Deck * LS [Max](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Magical_Musketeer_Max) using Starfire (Max effect here depends on what opponent has, so either more Magical Musket monsters or spells/traps) * LS [Requiem](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Fiendsmith_Requiem) using Max, then tribute to summon [The Fiendsmith](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/The_Fiendsmith) * LS [Sequentia](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Fiendsmith_Sequentia) using The Fiendsmith and Token, then activate effect its effect to FS * FS [Dies Irae](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Fiendsmith_Dies_Irae), by shuffling from GY, The Fiendsmith, Starfire and Max * Equip both Sequentia and Requiem to Dies Irae * Now you have a monster with 3400, untargetable and 3 non-target negates, while also having Casper for any further Magical Musket plays.
3 non target negates that must be used together, which makes it a lot weaker. Unless the translation is wrong.
Also cannot be targeted by your opponent card effects
that explains the magical musket reprints
Big day for Musket enjoyers
> LIGHT Fiend In Doug's voice: Fabled!
Looks like a punk archetype
Fabled!
YOOOO FABLED SUPPORT. A shame you cannot use Abanc for the Link 1, but you can still use Kushano at least. I'm not even coping, the archetypal ROTA seems made with Fabled in mind
My God I live this theme, hopefully they can offer Magical Musketeers a decent boost, cause they're the main deck I want to pair this with. Unfortunately, this does decrease the chance of Scareclaw support, but I'll still hold out hope for some Visas stuff in this set.
This and magical musket will be crazy
My brain knows I shouldn't, but my heart wants me to jam this into Magikey for the flavor and because there are a few combos you can do even with Magnificent Magikey Mafteal being the only Light Fiend in the deck.
And again, another degenerate 1-card combo deck. Konami will never learn that 1-card combos are unhealthy for the game..
Wait for the next TCG exclusive archetype, it'll be 4 cards combo minimum :3
You know there is an in-between right? Like 2-card combos for example? A 1-card combo without any restriction is unhealthy, that's all. Why did circular has been banned? Why Snake Eyes is almost tier 0? Why are Tenpai tiered in OCG despite being a battle phase archetype?
Nicolas D. Wolfwood from Vash the Stampede gets his own archtype!!! Dooooooope
Is there somewhere I can see the art for these?
holy cow this is a massive Boost to light fiends!hell fiends in general the link 2 almost certainly will see play in DDD insane main monster generic rota can go 1st or 2nd synergy with a bunch of stuff,likely need more names to be its own deck but these are obviously good like them a lot
Demonsmith Tractus can search Weiss, Lightsworn Archfiend. I don't think there's much more you can do after that yet, but that's interesting.
Is there anything funny that you can use the Link-2 to summon in Fabled/Magical Musket? Feel like there has to be something.
This theme relates to number 6 until I read the ATK of the Lv9 Fusion monster. Oh damm why isn't it 3000.
Could be cool in vaalmonica
So outside of the rota, do these have a place in light fiend decks like magical musket and fabled?
Its giving Needless xD
I mean diablestar is based on Bayonetta- it's only natural we got a DMC archetype too.
I mean, Diabellstar also turns Demons into weapons like Dante, so there's some DMC in her too.
In case anyone's wondering what generic stuff the search spell can get, it can get Archfiend Eccentrick, Santa Claws and uh Majesty's Fiend.
Searches a Kaiju-like monster and discard for effect? Dark World 😈
This feels like a turbo Beatrice package. Tractus or Fiendsmith is 1-1.5c Beatrice without using your normal. If going for more pure you can add a Fabled Lurrie (summons itself when discarded) to make the negate fusion with both links attached from Fiendsmith alone searching Tractus. (Fiendsmith search Tractus, Tractus search and discard/summon Lurrie, make link1 to summon Fiendsmith from deck, summon Fiendsmith from GY, Tractus fuse both Fiendsmith's into Lacrimosa who summons back a Fiendsmith, make link2 to shuffle lacrimosa+fiendsmith+fiendsmith/link1 to make Dies Irae). Interesting cards with potential and more cards would help dramatically, but feels like reality will just be a turbo Beatrice engine with 3 Fiendsmith, 1 Sanctus, and maybe some Tractus.
Is this a musician king retrain?
Not even close.
What I haven't seen talked about yet is that the searcher makes Santa Claws a searchable Kaiju.
Looks like they completely forgot **[Magical Musketeers](https://yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/Magical_Musket)** exist already. I love the idea of another LIGHT fiend archetype. Just hate it when it steps in the toes of an an archetype that already done a similar gimmick. It being the exact same type is just salt to the wound, when the other archetype should’ve just got more support. If this was a Magical Musketeer bonus supper it’d been far better.
I wasn’t initially sure what to make of this archetype as I watched the JustNutz guy on YouTube unveil them. As I’ve seen it make the rounds and see all the potential combos with this deck, I have to say that this deck is looking like a potential meta contender. Maybe not Tier 1, but maybe Tier 2 depending on other unrelated cards that may come out when this is released. Fiendsmith can be used with a lot more than I originally thought like Dark World and Plunder, outside of the already obvious combos like Fabled and Musketeers. I’m excited to see what people come up with. I’m a MD player only, so it’ll be FOREVER until I can use this. Maybe I’ll try EDOPRO in the meantime.
This gives me Magikey vibes.

I didn't notice the female entity in that card's artwork until you pointed it out. Interestingly, it feels somewhat familiar to Promethean Princess, due to the flames, horns, and pink body. Though I doubt that they're actually the same, they don't look that similar and this archetype supports Light Fiends.
