Predaplants - Failed Cards, Archetypes, and Sometimes Mechanics in Yu-Gi-Oh

I think Predaplants suffer from Ice Barrier Syndrome, in other words they are better known for a few broken meta staples than they are for being an actual archetype.

Don't worry when Yuri is added to duel links he's gonna get a broken skill that lets you summon his ace and boss with ease :)

I wanna be in the timeline where Verte was archetype exclusive AS SHOULD BE

They are failed cards until 3 of your monsters become the opponent's Predaplant Triphyoverutum

Fun fact: Due to naming shenanigans… ⚫️In the OCG, “Goyo Predator” is technically part of the greater “Predap” archetype. Though this is largely irrelevant since not that many “Predap” cards, if any, can actually use that… ⚫️And in the TCG as well, there’s some overlap with the “Venom” archetype thanks to “Starving Venom Predapower Fusion Dragon”, though the most this accomplishes is that “Starving Venom Predapower Fusion Dragon” is safe from “Venom Swamp”’s effects.

I love the Predaplant archetype, they're very fun to play and can be hell to deal with in the right hands. I've found that having a Gigaplant and a Lonefire Blossom really helps keeping everything together, at least for me.

Soon we'll get "failed cards, archetypes and mechanics: kashtira"

As someone who mains predaplants pure, this video is like the nail in my coffin. Truly the worst day for rain

As someone who has to deal with predaplants on the regular, they are hell to deal with

I have a lot of respect for pure predaplant pilots. My friend makes this archetype look like an art form, and makes my life a living hell

Man my predaplants dont deserve to be in the failed archetype series. I will never forgive you

Thank you for voicing my concerns as a gardener 🙏🏼 (I'm really a gardener IRL who happen to play Predaplant)

I'd never call predaplants a failed archetype. The deck isn't that bad by itself, and some of their cards are always in the meta

I will say I kinda get the whole „failed“ part seeing as the original Predaplants were pretty bad, but I feel like with the latest support it’s really become a fun rogue deck that can stand on its own and my god is it fun. The deck can go both first and second setting up multiple Dragostapelia‘s going first with searchable cards like Ultra-Polymerization, as well as OTK going second with Superpoly and Triphyoverutum. It’s kinda really funny to me that in 2023 most meta Decks still kinda lose to going second superpoly, especially with the DARK Kaiju. Predaplants are certainly jank, but they are my jank XD

Guys we can’t let Yuri see this video no matter what otherwise he would card the TheDuelLogs

Come on mr. Logs, Predaplants aren't sooooooo bad 😭

I think the reason predator counters were kinds useless on their own is cause they’re supposed to be like seeds and they only bloom (get advantage) when you use them for something hence why a lot of the archetypes seems to involve tributing your opponents predator counter monsters for your own benefit

Also, petition for Dinowrestlers. That archetype has one great monster, one decent Synchro, and two other halfway decent main deck monsters. That's it.

If this was released earlier in the Preda's lifespan I'd agree. But now, they are a pain in a half to deal with. They have very effective ways to spread their effects out and just make them a menace. A decent rogue strat in my book.

I feel like the big problem with predator counters is not that they don’t do enough, is that there’s not a lot of good ways to produce them consistently
