If you asked anyone who played the 5Ds format back in early 2010 to name 2 Ice Barrier monsters, Trishula and Brionac would be the main monsters to come out of their mouths, as both these generic Synchros were mainstays in any deck that could make them. Sadly, what won’t come out of their mouths is any other Ice Barrier monster. While the Synchros saw abundant play, the rest of the cards saw binders and bins. Even when they gained more support in 2021, any chance of the deck being viable was utterly thawed out. So, let’s look at the Ice Barrier archetype and see what made this deck's chances run cold.
