Hello everyone! Welcome to this Bi-Weekly blog post. How is your day? Is it fun or exhausting? I hope that as you read this blog, you're already in a good mood and condition. In today's post, I want to bring back some old cards that many players may have forgotten. These cards were considered useless even in the past and never received any support from KONAMI.
But why bother with these cards, you may ask? The answer is simple: it's all about the fun factor. It's enjoyable to revisit old cards from the past that may have been overlooked by players. It's exciting to brainstorm and theorycraft how we can salvage these cards and make them somewhat usable again. As long as the cards aren't complete trash, I believe it's worth the effort to revive them and introduce them to the current meta.

Let's dive into today's archetype, the Aitsu Brothers. These four monsters—Aitsu, Koitsu, Soitsu, and Doitsu—are all parody characters from another KONAMI franchise, Parodius, which is itself a parody of KONAMI's game, Gradius. It's fascinating to see the layers of parody in these cards.
Aitsu and Koitsu were released in the Champion of Black Magic booster pack in 2002, while Soitsu and Doitsu were released in the Cybernetic Revolution booster pack in 2004. Due to their low Attack and Defense points and unnecessary high levels, this cards were often disregarded. Despite being Fairy-type monsters, they didn’t receive any substantial support. Even cards like Shining Angel and Nova Summoner cannot summon them from the deck.
However, we can try to salvage these cards and make them viable again. Let's explore their characteristics:
- All of them have very low Attack and Defense points.
- Aitsu and
Soitsu are vanilla monsters, while Koitsu and Doitsu have interesting effects.
- They have
levels ranging from 3 to 10.
- Aitsu is a
Fire Attribute monster, while Soitsu is Wind Attribute.
To utilize their low stats, we can incorporate effects that allow us to summon them from the Graveyard. For example, Debris Dragon can be a useful tool to revive the Aitsu Brothers from the Graveyard. Additionally, since Aitsu is Level 5, we can use it as a cost for the effect of "Red-Eyes Black Meteor Dragon," summoning it directly from the hand.
We can also leverage the Dragon-type theme by including cards like Blaster the Dragon Ruler of Inferno and Tempest the Dragon Ruler of Storms. This not only adds synergy but also aligns with the Attributes of Aitsu and Soitsu.
Based on these ideas, I've crafted an Aitsu deck with a Dragon twist. Take a look at the decklist below:
as usual, visit this YGOPRO deck website to check each card's effect
Despite its inherent randomness and higher chance of bricking, this deck offers an unexpectedly fun playing experience. It revolves around controlling the field with the effects of Bystial and the Dragon Rulers while utilizing the Aitsu Brothers to fulfill cost activations. This allows us to Link and Synchro Summons from extra deck.
Now, let's discuss the price. While the Aitsu cards are old, they can
still be purchased online through platforms like Yuyutei and Suruga. However, other Dragon
cards in the deck may come at a higher cost, as we're incorporating meta cards
to build this deck.

One of the more expensive cards to consider when investing in this deck is Red-Eyes Black Meteor Dragon. It is indeed a powerful card with its first effect, allowing you to send a monster from the deck to the graveyard as a cost of activating the card. Even if your opponent negates its effect with Solemn Strike, you will still have one monster in the graveyard. Additionally, Red-Eyes Black Meteor Dragon has the ability to add Red-Eyes Fusion from the deck. However, in this particular deck, since we are not playing a Red-Eyes variant, the second effect of Red-Eyes Black Meteor Dragon may not be necessary.
That concludes this week's brainstorming session! I hope you enjoyed reading it. Remember, playing for fun is more important than playing to win. Thanks for reading, and have a happy gaming experience!
