ADBK: Shapesnatch

Epithet: The Shapeshifting Mechanical Spy

Voice Actor: Tom Kenny

Tribe: The Machinations

Biography: Created by studying and copying the monsters Copycat and Humanoid Worm Drake, Shapesnatch's main purpose is to infiltrate and take over townships, sometimes even whole kingdoms, and make them extensions of Perfect Machine King's Empire.

He's not a general, but his power is on par with Pendulum Machine in terms of using his innate skills. He often works with fellow snakes-in-the-grass such as Akikeisu, Dragoness the Wicked Knight, Kamionwizard and Monster Tamer.

The shit husbando of the day:

Shapesnatch from Yu-Gi-Oh!

[ygoreviews]

Shapesnatch ———————————————— 'A bow tie with horrible power, it attacks an opponent by controlling others.' ———————————————— Can Be Found In: Pharaonic Guardian (PGD-002)

Not every card becomes popular for either its efficiency in the competitive scene or having an important role in one of the series. In some circumstances, a card with poor stats or effects becomes its biggest feature, often turning into a running joke among the community. However, it reaches a point where these cards becomes the core of its own Decks, not like "Skull Servant" that became an archetype of its own but rather trying to make the worst cards able to confront more powerful strategies in comparison.

"Shapesnatch" is not that different to many other Normal Monsters of the past, yet became the running joke of the TCG when comes to one of the most terrible cards in the game ("Morinphen" in the case of the OCG community). Arriving during a time when the OCG didn't had the Tribute Summon clause, "Shapesnatch" gradually became an expensive summon yet with pitiful stats worth the investment. Fortunately like many other Normal Monsters it recovered by working as material for better summons, but in the case of "Shapesnatch" it encouraged players to create entire Decks arround its pressence including OTK results. These Decks and setups aren't that different if we focus on a different Normal Monster even if are easier to play or stronger, but "Shapesnatch" is the prime example of creating an efficient Deck arround a funny premise.

Although treated as one of the worst monsters in the card game, "Shapesnatch" gained a lot of support over the years and improving many Normal Monsters in the same situation. With the activation of "Summoner's Art" of the battle effect of "Dragoons of Draconia", "Shapesnatch" will be immediately in our hand ready for any use. We don't even need to wait for be in our hand however, as can be  is summoned by "Chaos-End Master" or "Machina Armored Unit" depending of how favorable is the Battle Phase. Obviously nothing stop us from Tribute Summoning "Shapesnatch" if ends in our hand, with Pendulum Summons or Nimble monsters easily gathering materials as well "The Monarchs Stormforth" using a stronger monster from the opponent for its arrival. When comes to the Graveyard "Shapesnatch" obtains plenty of revival effects to work with, ranging from "Swing of Memories" and "Silent Doom" to Traps like "Birthright" and "Oasis of Dragon Souls" reviving it even during the opponent's turn. With these many ways to Special Summon "Shapesnatch", is quite likely to time its arrival with "Inferno Reckless Summon" to bring all its copies at once.

Despite its popularity, "Shapesnatch" is not that different compared to many obsolete Normal Monsters from back in the day. With many summoning options available as well cards like "Advanced Ritual Art" and "Overload Fusion", "Shapesnatch" easily becomes a reliable material for all kinds of bigger summons ranging from Tribute Summons to Xyz Summons. And with the addition of cards like "Skill Drain" and "Heat Wave", "Shapesnatch" and the rest of our Normal Monsters will have the advantage against the popularity of Effect Monsters nowadays. However, creating lethal setups arround "Shapesnatch" became a punchline worth a Deck of its own, and with cards like "United We Stand" and "Limiter Removal" working together is quite possible to achieve an OTK with this Normal Monster. But if that strategy crumbles we can still take advantage of its low stats, as cards like "Messenger of Peace" will stall the opponent while letting "Shapesnatch" to attack, or trading it using "Creature Swap" to gain a stronger monster.

High Level Normal Monsters are divided in various roles depending of their stats, and "Shapesnatch" is among those often working as materials of stronger creatures. However, while "Shapesnatch" can be simply played like any other of its kind thanks to the many supporting cards nowadays, is the first monster to come to mind when comes creating unorthodox OTK strategies. Piling several stat boosts or taking advantage of summoning options like "Inferno Reckless Summon" is not that different if we focus on another Normal Monster, but "Shapesnatch" gained a reputation in the TCG and still keeps that tradition after all these many years.

Personal Rating: C+

+ Highly supported from early to late game specially as material + The main Normal Monster to create unusual Decks arround it including OTKs

- Poor stats - Depends on other cards and effects - Not that different from other Normal Monsters even when comes to OTK setups

Laughing at your opponent for losing to Shapesnatch

Guess who I found at my locals?

[aduelbetweenkingdomsafreshstart]

ADBK: Destroyer Golem

Epithet: The Twisted Golem

Voice Actor: Richard Newman

Tribe: The Machinations

Biography: A giant in his own right, this corrupted golem is the elder brother of Barrel Rock, and was a student of Exodia before becoming a sentinel in the Wasteland. However, his contemplative life was changed when he was altered by Shapesnatch and Jinzo after spying on the titanic Rock monster and using Jinzo's Amplifier to extend his psychic waves.

However, an unlikely ally has come to try and save him recently; Julius Abercrombie, also known as the Magical Scientist, has been studying how the Rock monsters end up corrupted to Perfect Machine King's side, and being as ambitious as his former colleague Kozaky, vows to undo it with the help of Trap Master and Mind on Air. His fate is up-in-the-air at the moment, but Destroyer Golem seems to still have some of his old personality ticking away in his spirit.

Remembering Yuto being an absolute terror of a meme.. he would totally have the equivalents of Vine and Tik Tok and do the most stupid shenanigans on there. He'd probably get popularity for being a complete goofball besides being a celebrity duelist. He'd also probably make the stupidest, cheesiest and most bizarre decks like Itsu, Mokey Mokey, Mind Haxorz and Spell-cards only. Oh, and let's not forget an entire deck focused on Shapesnatch or Morphinen claiming to be the strongest cards ever.

He is the worst pain in Kaiba’s back with his constant bullshit like this.

He has made quite the reputation for himself at Duel Academia where he and Judai constantly post up dumb meme videos and such, even dabbing or doing whatever the ygo equivalent of a fortn/ite dance would be whenever they finish their turns or win a duel.

Atem is not sure what to do with this terror version of a child Yugi. Best solution? stay in the puzzle and have Kaiba deal with the chaos.

DD: ADBK Orgoth the Relentless

Epithet: 

The Relentless Gladiator

Voice Actor: 

John DiMaggio

Tribe: 

The Kindred

Biography: Five-Headed Dragon has some recurring philosophies regarding beings that weren't Dragons. He saw Dragons as superior to all other beings, and treated those inferiors as slaves, pawns and cattle for the more gluttonous Dragons in his inner circle. That being said, he also has respect for power, and thus had lavish games held in colosseums across the Duelscape.

One of their fiercest combatants was a powerful Orgoth, an ogre taken from his home in the mountains of Odinson as a young boy. Because Five-Headed Dragon had a few corrupt Spellcasters at his beck and call, he traded Orgoth over to a hypnotism specialist named Necrolancer the Timelord.

Said Timelord was accompanied by Shapesnatch, a secret Machine spy for the Machinations, and they had Orgoth and some enslaved monsters perform back breaking labor so as to create a Mirror Wall to prevent Dragon-controlled territory from being conquered by other Tribes.

Fortunately, the brainwashed Orgoth was freed along with the slaves by a band of Kindred that defeated Necrolancer, Shapesnatch, and their army of Mega Thunderballs. Grateful for the assist, the blue and purple ogre bowed to the four saviors and promised to become one of them. Dark Magician assigned Orgoth to be a frontiersman, defending the people under Dragon Horde-controlled areas from their wicked masters.
