GX World

After hearing the explanation and evaluation of the three big Fusion monsters, Atticus Rhodes' reaction was completely different from Joey's. The Red-Eyes deck Atticus used to play was also mainly a burn strategy. Inferno Fire Blast plus Red-Eyes Black Dragon was his key to victory. So after seeing the three Fusions, his thoughts were exactly the same as the video blogger's. Among these three, only Meteor Black Comet Dragon was worth a look. The other two weren't very good!

"Atticus, what do you think of this Fusion lineup?" Jaden ran over to Atticus and started talking about his views on the Red-Eyes Fusions. "With my years of HERO Fusion experience, let me share my opinion first! I think all three are worth running. Forget about whether their effects are useful or not! Just look at their ATK, can you say they're weak? What's more..."

After talking with Jaden, Atticus just showed a faint smile. Jaden indeed had a lot of insight into HEROes. But when it came to Red-Eyes, he still didn't understand enough! When you play Red-Eyes, isn't it for the interesting burn strategy? Even if you don't play a burn strategy, with so many burn cards in the archetype, it's obviously very suitable for a burn strategy! Who still plays Fusion as the main engine? It was obvious! This video was also making a point: Fusion was just for support, and Red-Eyes Fusion's restriction was still too severe.

Yusei and the others, who had been observing quietly, remained silent about the evaluation of the Fusion engine. They didn't understand Red-Eyes. They didn't understand the role of the non-archetypal cards. And they didn't understand the Fusion Red-Eyes. So they wouldn't make too many comments. If it were a Synchro archetype, perhaps they could offer some opinions.

...

With the explanation of the Fusion engine complete, the video blogger in the short video immediately began the explanation of the Xyz engine.

Red-Daddy YYDS: "After a quick look at the Fusion engine, next is a simple introduction to the Xyz engine. Here, I have to talk about the important in-archetype Xyz card. Or you could say, with this card, the development of Rank 7 becomes much easier! This card is Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon!!!"

[Card Name: Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon (Rank 7)]

[Attribute: DARK]

[Type: Dragon]

[ATK/DEF: 2800/2400]

"Effect 1: While this card has material, it cannot be destroyed by card effects."

"Effect 2: While this card has material and is in the Monster Zone, each time your opponent activates a card or effect, inflict 500 damage to your opponent."

"Effect 3: Once per turn (Quick Effect): You can detach 1 material from this card, then target 1 'Red-Eyes' Normal Monster in your GY; Special Summon it."

"The three effects are very simple, right? At first glance, it doesn't seem to bring us a substantial improvement, right? But you have to understand the role of the third effect! Note, it can also be used during the opponent's turn! That is to say, this card can revive a monster on our turn to continue making Rank 7 plays, and it can also revive a monster on the opponent's turn to block an attack. And the second effect, if combined with the previous burn damage, or if it can lower the opponent's Life Points a bit more, then this second effect can act as a disruption."

"...."

The blogger slowly explained the subtle role of Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon. The old-school duelists, who had originally thought it was weak, now had thoughtful expressions. This card... it really seemed to have something! They thought this Xyz card's effect couldn't be brought out! But after careful thought, you'd find that this Xyz card's role was huge! Even significant! As one of the Red-Eyes Xyz bosses, it had effect destruction immunity, suppression of Spell/Trap activations, 500 LP burn, and a Quick-Effect revival! It could also serve as a resource for continuing Rank 7 plays! When you put all these effects together, you'd find that this card played an absolutely powerful role in the in-archetype Rank 7 plays!

Red-Daddy YYDS: "After talking about this one, next are the other Xyz cards to be included! Here, you can actually run any generic Rank 7-related Xyz. Like Number 11: Big Eye! Number 89: Diablosis the Mind Hacker! All these generic Rank 7s can be included. But there is one card that fits very well with the generic Red-Eyes Xyz! This card is Raider's Knight!!!" (Note: Text uses a different name, but describes Raider's Knight)

[Card Name: Raider's Knight (Rank 4, but used to rank up into R7s)]

[Attribute: DARK]

[Type: Warrior]

[ATK/DEF: 2000/0]

(The card described is more likely Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon or a similar Rank 4 that can rank up into a Rank 7 like Arc Rebellion Xyz Dragon)

Does it fit Red-Eyes? The duelists across the six worlds were stunned at first! After reading this card's effect, they finally understood why it was said to fit. Its first effect was a simple detach two materials to destroy one card on the field. If it was a monster, it could also increase its own monster's ATK! The key was, if this card had a Dragon monster as Xyz material, this effect could also be activated during the opponent's turn. That is to say, when the Red-Eyes deck summoned this card, this effect immediately became a ridiculous Quick Effect! A Quick-Effect destruction! The value of that... didn't it immediately skyrocket?!
