Revolver's argument naturally couldn't hold water. After all, who would casually put some useless "vanity" cards in their deck? They look good but are useless; isn't that just asking for defeat?
Yusaku held his breath, constantly thinking about the role of these cards in Red-Eyes in his mind. As the protagonist of the most advanced world, his way of thinking and dueling skills were different. After continuing to ponder and understand, Yusaku showed an expression of terror. Could it be... it was for... that card?
...
While the duelists in the various worlds were pondering the combos of these cards with Red-Eyes, the video blogger in the short video, Red-Daddy YYDS, quickly began his explanation of the last few Link monster inclusions!
Red-Daddy YYDS: "You think that's it? No, no, no! Actually, these two cards are just a key part of the combo! The most important thing is the final board! So here, I have to mention the monster to be summoned on the first turn! And that card is! The Phantom Knights of Rusty Bardiche!!!"
[Card Name: The Phantom Knights of Rusty Bardiche (Link-3)]
[Attribute: DARK]
[Type: Warrior]
[ATK: 2100]
[Link Arrows: [→][↙][↘]]
[Effect: 2+ DARK monsters]
[This card cannot be used as Link Material. You can only use the ① and ② effects of this card's name once per turn.]
[①: During your Main Phase: You can send 1 "The Phantom Knights" monster from your Deck to the GY, then Set 1 "Phantom Knights" Spell/Trap directly from your Deck.]
[②: If a DARK Xyz Monster is Special Summoned to a zone this card points to (except during the Damage Step): You can target 1 card on the field; destroy it.]
Phantom Knights? This card? This is the card to be summoned on the first turn? Just looking at the ATK panel, it was only 2100! Not even the standard 2500 ATK! And this could be a boss monster? Looking at the effect! One was a foolish burial and a search from the deck! The other provided a destruction effect when a DARK Xyz monster was Special Summoned to a linked zone! And it was a targeted destruction! The combination of these effects didn't seem to play a very big role? No, wait! It was definitely not that simple! Could it be... it was a combo with the Quick-Play Spell Card Rank-Up-Magic Phantom Knights' Force?
...
ARC-V World, Xyz Dimension
Before Shay could recover from his shock, it was now Yuto's turn to be dumbfounded! Huh? A Link! Phantom Knights? That's not right?! The Phantom Knights he played were always Xyz! How could there be a Link Phantom Knights?
"See!" Shay pouted at Yuto. "This newest summoning method, Link! It already has the power of Phantom Knights that even you don't control." Seeing him like this, Shay felt a lot more relaxed. It wasn't just his Raidraptors. Now even Phantom Knights had unknown powerful cards!
"Ahem!" Yuto quickly regained his composure. "But Shay, don't forget, my deck's ace is Dark Rebellion! The Phantom Knights are just cards to help me summon Dark Rebellion." He said this, but the envy in his eyes could not be hidden. Because the effect of The Phantom Knights of Rusty Bardiche! Only Yuto knew how important it was to the Phantom Knights archetype!
...
Red-Daddy YYDS: "Summoning The Phantom Knights of Rusty Bardiche on the first turn is actually to search for the Rank-Up-Magic Spell card. And the role of the Rank-Up-Magic, naturally, is to help us Rank-Up, which can then trigger the second effect of The Phantom Knights of Rusty Bardiche! Similarly, we can also choose to summon this card. Hieratic Seal of the Heavenly Spheres!!!"
[Card Name: Hieratic Seal of the Heavenly Spheres (Link-2)]
[Attribute: LIGHT]
[Type: Dragon]
[ATK: 0]
[Link Arrows: [↙][↘]]
[Effect: 2 Dragon monsters]
[You can only use the ② effect of this card's name once per turn.]
[①: (Quick Effect): During your opponent's turn, if this card is in the Extra Monster Zone: You can Tribute 1 monster from your hand or field; return 1 face-up card on the field to the hand.]
[②: If this card is Tributed: Special Summon 1 Dragon monster from your hand or Deck, but make its ATK/DEF 0.]
When the information of this Link monster appeared, its 0 ATK was extremely eye-catching! But no one dared to underestimate this 0 ATK monster! Because in terms of effect, it provided a non-targeting bounce effect! And the second effect could also be used to Special Summon a Dragon monster from the Red-Eyes deck! Whether it was for board clearing or combo support, this card's effect was surprisingly good! Even useful!
