Commenters Don't Understand the Egyptian Gods 

Masquerade Just like mine

You do? I wish my slifer did chores, all he does is produces movies and games.

I won my locals by drawing my Obelisk.

E-Hero Stratos in all his executive glory

I wish my Obelisk made sandwiches 😔

*You idiots do not even know what the word target means. I do not expect you to understand the validity of these complaints.* Now, ANY card that effects a single card or a set number of cards on the field count as cards that TARGET the individual monster cards. Full-clearly cards target the FIELD and not any individual card so THEY can work on God Cards. Unless you have a field-scale wipe card in your deck, you are SCREWED when facing a God-Card in regards to card effects. This idiot has the mental capacity of a spoon, so people call him out on it. Winged Dragon of Ra? There are cards that can essentially NEGATE that downside entirely. Slifer? *swarm decks have been the meta for a LONG time.* *Obelisk?*

assuming this comment wasn't ironic, I'll have to say: there are no cards that can negate Ra's downside that is worth playing. you can use all your resources to summon a big beatstick without killing off life points, but it gets removed in so many different ways from staples like dark hole, raigeki, kaiju, even mirror force. slifer's effect is completely useless, because the point with the so-called "swarm decks" is to create a board that can't be broken down. there will be plenty of negations and effects to disrupt you from summoning any god card. also, weaker monsters are usually summoned for their effects, meaning that the player could just special summon all the little combo pieces in defense position and end with a board filled with cards that slifer can't overcome. the primary reason people can't ever win with god cards, after all, is because it wastes so many resources for just a single boss monster that has essentially no protection, with the player being left vulnerable without any protection because you used up everything to make the useless beatstick.

dried persimmon, yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Life_Absorbing_Machine *You were saying? I will now be using one of the MANY 0TK decks that use swarming to summon a massive and "inefficient" monster with enough ATK to kill Jesus while urging him NOT to come back.* Actually play the game properly, and you will not need to have a monster immune to card effects that already should have been dealt with.

That heiroglyphic text only applied to Ra. So for Slipher and Obelisk, the commenters have no excuse.

1Korlash they’re even worse. They had no writing but like 3 effects each. And ra has like a thousand hidden effects alone lol. They even made different versions of ra to use his effects with sphere and Phoenix mode. The ra card itself sucks but it’s other forms are halfway decent. Sphere mode even used to get side decked at some point lol.

Judging by your profile pic that claim is just as ridiculous ( jk no hate)

The best conspiracy theory I've ever seen.

@Krumzebell Abethabek I could say the same to you.

dzeeff is secretly marik ishtar in disguise. I KNEW IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AHAHAHAHA

Please tell me this is a joke.

It is a joke, all god cards were inmune to traps in the anime (except that time they didn't)

Your a big noob if you think that

@@pixelant2377 that's why it's a joke

Before he got as blasted in 2 seconds

Flore Krimson - The Scarlet Devil you can’t use defusion to defuse your life points with Ra?

probably not but you might be able to dump a vanilla and add one of the same name to your hand

In the anime,I thought, it was that they had to pay until they had 1 instead of 100 but that's just what I thought.

just noticed the dude above edited his comment so my joke now makes no sense :(

Flore Krimson - The Scarlet Devil autocorrect warped my comment 😩😫

jogabonito1848 No obelisk doesn’t do that

Damn, you got me. Definitely wasn't joking.

Actually you don't need to imagine, there is Oricas with the anime effects( oricacard.com/product/the-egyptian-god-lot-anime-effect/ ), I think maybe these people who comment played with cards like these(or against it, lol) and thought they were pre-errata or something

Obelisk gains infinite ATK

OMG! I'm not the only one!!

Talking about this... What does it does?

What's not to understand?

Official-TwinkleFart Everything. Do you draw from your opponents deck? The grave? The banished pile? Their grave? Their banish pile? A FRIENDS DECK?!!! WHO KNOWS

That's ridiculous! Obviously they are asking you to pull out a piece of paper and draw two cards! Now, the question, what card?

my pot of greed says this card draws 3 and this card ignores the ban list

Caio Prado those People are casual Players Who probably never used ra online and/or are too lazy to read ^^

It's completely understandable how they misunderstood. It is terribly worded

The video just explained how it's not terribly worded. It's stupidly simple.

+Caio Prado The Manga version of the God cards are more inconsistent than they were in the anime.

Idk why people call it Ra. I though his name was Mega-Ultra Chicken ?

Jeffrey Monhollen it actually is when you are just getting back into the game after almost 12 years of not playing at all and now the card crams a whole novella of text into a tiny box that you have to strain your eyes to properly read and memorize. Also Konami sucks at their wording. I can easily see how new and returning players can get confused or easily misinterpret the card rules.

dbzfan1121 I mean I'd understand with something as nonsensical as dark worlds but ra is worded pretty clearly.

Glorious.

Wtf, that makes no sense

That's Yu-Gi-Oh's fault. Everyone calls those stars, not levels.

Which is impressive since no card had its effects printed on it in the dub.

Idk, it’s either Dzeef’s videos seems to be attracting these kind of people, or YGO just seems to have a lot more people that doesn’t even understand how TCG works. I literally spent a couple of days explaining card advantage on a thread in his Pot of Desires video. There is no way Obelisk wouldn’t be used in every single deck if it was immune to any effect at all.

IM SO TRIGGER HAPPY, I LEFT A COMMENT WITHOUT READING THE COMMENT! what are we talking about?

It's neither his videos or the YGO community. People are like this online all the time. Even the most neutral comment or video can generate a lot of triggered responses. However, if you state your opinion on something, even if you make it as objective as you can, like the original video does, oh, boy, you are in for a ride. People just don't accept someone sharing their opinions on anything, even Yu-Gi-Oh.

E- tan *see hundred likes,* *joins in the fun* seems legit.

@@NeroVingian40 Except decks that can't bring it out easily.

TheKidFawFul Because they all suck

Good one lol

I’ve yet to see a YCS where anyone fused themselves with their Malefic Truth Dragon. It’s no wonder why Malefics aren’t topping. Nobody’s playing the card correctly.

Medbread 『🍞』 I’d pay to see that.

or god crushing blow fist of fury

People are stupid. That's literally all there is to it.

The card text is small and human memory is faulty. That's your answer

I really like how they learned from Magic to clearly seperate costs from effects. Magic does it with : while YGO uses ; for it.

But according to the anime...

@@LCDqBqA you can normal summon 3 blue eyes in one turn. (I see a plane in the sky flying over me as the force of the speed and mass generates a massive r/woooosh)

Obelisk straight up ignored mirror force in the anime and that card doesn't target

Robert Jenkins Yeah, this was by far the dumbest comment I've seen there.

Not being a main deck monster and not using normal summons is a pretty big difference

Someone didn't learn the difference between Special summoning and Normal summoning. What a fuckwit.

Pet Shop I think he was making a joke

It made me explode from laughter, it's so bad i don't know where to start tackling such an odd comment

Dude, same

I would pay all the money for that

I don’t even care if it’s official, I’ll happily take a fake one to laugh at every day 🤣

just another commenter with a opinion some people make some pretty clean custom cards, you could get it done

Some people probably have fake copies as well, which meant they didn't even have the opportunity to read the real card effects. I remember getting a blue Obelisk from my friend way back when, similar to what's shown on 10:00. No card effects; just flavor text. I only knew about their real effects years later when I tried one of the YGO video games and saw their card text there.

+Luis Or people interpret the wording of the reprints as it worked in the anime which was the worst representation of the cards.

the only problem w god cards is that they made them too weak compared to their original anime effect. they could've made a more anime alike version, still w original colors, effect from the anime or close and keepin them banned

Luis The “my Ra can do whatever” is a joke my guy

That Is 100% not his effect, where the Fuck did you hear that?

Alex Wall Fuck substitoad

Good luck trying to control its power. Better use Mound of the Bound Creator to control it.

Noone playes Shining because it requires you to play fusion cards in a non-fusion oriented deck, it's bricky and hard to summon and even if you do manage to somehow summon it, it only has a targetting negation effect and an ATK gaining effect. So, you can either do that or just run something like Twin Burst if you really want to fuse in your blue-eyes. It's a contact fusion, has battle protection, can attack twice per turn and has a banishing effect if it doesn't destroy the thing it wanted to destroy

In short, because It's not worth it

Too hard to summon, too inconsistent, terrible effect for the effort, pretty simple actually.

cinansnickem it has a designation negation effect. I’m pretty sure that means it’s what everyone thought obelisk was, and literally the only counter for shining is magic cylinder. Unless I’m missing something because you go through so much effort to get shining dragon out it’s intended to just be a game winner.

I know shining is terrible, but some dumb, nostalgic part of me forces me to play it in my blue eyes decks

I remember playing back in the day and my buddy told me his zombie dragon couldn't be killed cuz zombies with 0 def just can't die. Tyvm stupid anime.

I was once introduced to a fake rule that said that they're are some cards that work as special tools called superchargers. These super chargers can be played from the hand and boost any monsters effect or in some cases give them new effects. The person who told me the rule later said he was bullshitting the whole time.

@@Harold_Wilson applying rules outside of yugioh card playing is taboo to have believe people have won in those duels

@@Doceli-dg3cn He didn't even need the rule to win. He's a pretty good player in his own right, and he knows the actual ruling for the cards. I guess he just thought we were gullible enough to believe it. I did have my suspicions from the start, as when he introduced the concept, he said we wouldn't be able to find anything about it on google. The effects also seemed way to overpowered and the way you could tell a card was a supercharger was so roundabout it was incredible we ever believed it n the first place.

@@Harold_Wilson I'm just saying having extra rules doesn't feel right to duel for real I believe u that ur opponent is definitely good at yugioh

Chris Comiskey No, because you need the Millennium Puzzle to unlock his memories and go through Season 5 all over again.

But you can summon Creator God of Light Horakhty with them.

They did release Creator God of Light Horakhty (or Holactie on at least one Yugioh wiki, but that’s obviously not the right transliteration), which does that exactly.

You might be able to, but product may not live up to advertisement lol

Connor Jugessur I'll just whip out my Anime Zarc which is every kind of card (except the blue cards) and can only be removed Via Kaiju

@@sirspookybones1118 well beware my dogoran and chewbone

Depends on what your custom card says

while that might be true, I read that comment as saying you have to have at least 100 LP left or in other words if you have for example 500 LP left that counts as having 100 LP left and an additional 400. Like if someone asks you do have an apple you don't answer no i have 3 apples, because that's not what he wanted to know

That’s exactly why. He did with atem too but he killed Bakura with that move

Ik there stupid lol 😂

I agree I was getting genuinely triggered as a competitive ygo player that people don't understand the game and try to say these things

Lancer Guy lmao!! That sounds like one hell of a fun time

Oh, it is, don't get me wrong! My friends are kinda like a time capsule to how the game used to be. Like, My high school days were from 2002-2006, the game was way different back then. "Archetypes" weren't really a thing, and decks were generally just 'Frankenstein's monsters' of whatever good cards existed cobbled together. I showed them my D/D deck a couple months back, since D/D is probably the best archetype in YGO to showcase the entire evolution of the game from 2006 to the present, and they were like "huh, so your cards help each other out? That's cool!" Before they said that, I'd forgotten that that wasn't really a thing that happened with cards back in our era!

Lancer Guy I see someone likes fate stay night Cu chulainn is awasom On the fate grand order game the mystic America chapter is getting released on the 15th cu berserker is coming

That sounds like an enjoyable time.

I come from the same era. It was the Duelist Kingdom/Battle City era. Battle city is where it really got off for us. We were around 9 years old back then.

...unlike yugioh, where if you have a insufficient targets, you have to reveal your entire deck to verify. ...which, albeit just personal opinion, is nice. It penalizes you for lying the way you could with your Brigette example, and as long as you pay attention, you won't trigger that by accident. ever. unless you actually did try to lie and say you had less than you do... which would be a *ridiculously* stupid thing to do.

The kind of people who like the God cards are also the kind of people to not even be aware of that card's existence...

He ignores the effect fulltime that you cant activate anything when Ra has been normal summoned. And as much as i know the Monsters with most Base attack have 5000. So you only need Ra with more attack than youre enemys Strongest Monster and you won. Because youre enemy cant activate anything to destroy Ra or do damage to your LP. Ra basically Blocks all types of effects like Jinzoh did it with traps. So if you play Ra like you should Play him the Card is an Instand Win

^That is definitely not true. Nowhere on the playable version of the card does it say that

TheDeathsoldier98 i hope you are joking...

@@TheDeathsoldier98 Ra is only unaffected during the point when he is normal summoned. Once his normal summon is resolved, you can activate whatever you want to destroy Ra. Same with obelisk with the expectation of targeting effects. It's that simple

Bulbasam 214 wait, are you saying I can't equip a monster that can't be targeted with equip spells? Because I didn't know that

...granted, what equip cards would you even want to play outside of Moon Mirror Shield, or more casually, Noble Knights? (ignoring Equip Beatstick OTK ft. Mage Power and United We Stand) ...well, i suppose stuff like Inzektors and ABC/VWXYZ as well, but i'm pretty sure the 'can't be targeted' wouldn't be applicable there except in extremely niche circumstances.

Michael Olynyk I remember that as well

Not really. Beatsticks aren't really that important in yu-gi-oh. Gran maju garzett is a 2 tribute monster that gains attack based on the monster you tribute. The problem with Beatsticks is that they can easily be storming or quaking mirror forced. And also, if ra is flipped face-down, like with quaking mirror force, those attack points no longer exist.

ooh, the one I was thinking of was The tyrant Neptune. Its fun to see the believed effects of the god cards seen on other cards.

I like your "if the emporer had a text to speech device" reference

Because they were in the show, and that makes him playable compared to his current "pay all of your life points or this card has no stats" effect. The fact that his other effect costs life points is basically just a joke at this point. Seriously, how could they leave that off?

Llew The Last Dream woulda made him meta.

Aaah yes armatile but actually slifer

idk, it seems more likely to me people assume the effect is the same as the anime effect, where you can pay as many lp as you want.

Da_Swifta Quick rundown on Link Summoning: Link Monsters are a special type of Monster that are in the Extra Deck, with a foil blue background. They do not have a Def stat, and cannot be in Defense mode (or facedown, IIRC). Each Link Monster has a number of arrows pointing in some of the cardinal or diagonal directions; the number of Link Arrows it has is equal to its Link Rating. To summon a Link Monster, you tribute a number of monsters exactly equal to its Link Rating, with certain restrictions listed on the card (say, 4 monsters with 2+ of them being Warriors). Link Monsters may be tributed as well, and may be treated as either one monster, or a number equal to its Link Rating (so, say, a Link-4 could be Summoned by tribute get a Link-3 and another monster, as 3+1=4), so long as you still satisfy the Link Monster’s requirements. Then, you may Link Summon the Link Monster onto the field in a valid area. Now, the “in a valid area” part is one of the major rules changes in Master Rule 4; two new zones called the Extra Monster Zones have been added to the field between the two players’ Monster Zones. These are initially the only zones you can play Extra Deck monsters (Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, and some Pendulums), and each players can only use one of them at a time, with an exception I’ll get to later (§). However, you can place more ED monsters by playing Link Monsters: while a Link Monster is on the field, Extra Deck monsters can now be played into any zone its arrows point to (including the opponent’s). This includes more Link Monsters, opening up more of the field for you to play ED monsters in. § This exception is something known as an Extra Link. Basically, if two Link Monsters both have arrows pointing to each other, they are co-linked. An Extra Link is a chain of co-linked Link Monsters that connect the two Extra Monster Zones; even if you have already played a monster in one EMZ, you may also play one in the other if it would create an Extra Link.

Some ASCII art if it will help! Initially, there are two Extra Monster Zones, and each player may only use one at a time: mmmmm e e mmmmm However, suppose you have a Link Monster with arrows pointing like this: ^ M / \ After making the right tributes, you can play it in one of the EMZs, and it will open up more zones for ED monsters: mmmem e L mmeme You could then potentially play another Link Monster like this: < L > Into one of the zones to open up more: mmmem e L m e L e e

I agree with that. We should have videos like that.

What they would need the most is more support cards. Like a monster that counts a 3 tributes, or a card that adds a god card from your deck/graveyard to your hand.

Jacob the three tribute card would also have to be able to special summon itself and the deck would have to run brilliant fusion, which would already be giving dead draws because of garnet

Towers clause and cannot be destroyed by battle.

You mean Ra's Disciple and Mound of the Bound Creator? Not exactly like what you were looking for but pretty close.

Lellerz its in the dang name board-wipe its not that hard

that feels a bit broken...

Compared to Raigeki? It's still not as good, due to eating up a lot of hand advantage, although at least you get to destroy spell/traps as well. In Hieratics? At least you get to plus from the tributed Hieratic monsters' effects, but Hieratics themselves aren't good either these days. You also have to consider the effort of making that Rank 8, which'll consume a bit of hand advantage even before you get to start destroying things with it's effects. It *does* however, make a good example of targeting vs non-targeting, i agree.

I use it with Blue Eyes, so its really easy to make (2 lvl 8), but I have better situational options like number 77 or 95 or Crystal wing synchro. I usually only pull out Hieratic if something cant be targeted or if i need to get rid of backrow, (blue eyes's second worst weakness imo)

It still is a Target effect, just bad wording.

nope, yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Card_Rulings:Hieratic_Sun_Dragon_Overlord_of_Heliopolis

So in the anime, kaiba specifically states, " the only cards that could over power exodia" so my friends and i always said that the gyptian God cards could negate exodia

Yup. The can just refers to weather or not you want to do it

BosSox yeah but like he said, at that point you're paying 5000 LP for what a raigeki can already do for free without 3 tributes

Crucificient why 5k? It's pay 1k for raigeki?

Conor Buckman it’s 1K per monster, so if they have a full board it’s 5-6K

Conor Buckman Raigeki destroys every monster your opponent controls, if they have a full board of 5(6 monsters with the extra monster zone), you can just use raigeki and kill 6 monsters with no cost. To do that with Ra, you have to tribute 3 monsters and then pay 5000/6000 life points

Crucificient Then you're going plus on card advantage in the most convoluted way possible only to die on the backswing cause you just paid 5000 and have a 0 atk monster on the field. But dark hole is for chumps right? And it's not like you ever lose with ra stuck in hand

Slifer: Make it so its effect doesn't require the monster to be summoned in attack position. Also, give target protection. (It becomes an annoying floodgate) Obelisk: Make him able to attack after using his effect (It becomes a pretty good boss monster) Ra: give him atk = to atk of tributed monsters. Also make it so the opponent can't respond to its attacks. (It becomes an OTK tool)

granted, before the simplified text there were a lot of cards with unexplained timings. I remember playing in high school, and a lot of times we had to look up rulings on the internet because cards didn't explain their timing well enough.

Unslaadahsil Of course you're right. However, I'm still seeing people who do this kind of illegal misplays even to this day.

This is why Fableds > Dark Worlds (jk), they don't give a crap about costs

5thDimensionDragon if you have 10 above the 100 you pay the ten if you have 100 or less you punch yourself in the face for being dumb enough to summon ra onto the field

You're correct

Jullian Aubrey I mean it is fairly easy to read.

And 3: The anime.

In all honesty, reading what you said makes the correct interpretation even more rational to me. The cards effects are listed after the conditional with a normal colon and seperated by commas. "When this card is Normal Summoned:" Then we get the effects. "You can pay LP so thay you only have 100 left;this card gains ATK and DEF equal to the amount of LP paid. You can pay 1000 LP, then target 1 monster on the field; destroy that target. The colon indicates everything after is what you CAN do. Both effects start out with what action you CAN take by saying "You can". The semi colons seperate the action you can take and the result of that action. Both actions and results are seperated by periods to indicate they are not related. There really isnt any room to interpret that the amount of LP you pay is optional, because that language is all in the first clause of the first effect, and it doesnt present any kind of variable. It isnt about the english itself, its actually quite robust in explaininh what this cars in particular can do. People think that you can pick the amount of LP to sacrifice because that was an effect that was explained everytime Ra was onscreen in the anime. This is also why people still think that Egyptian Gods cant be killed by Spells, Traps, or Monster Effects. There isn't any excuse.

Don't people use Ra Sphere Mode?

@@nathanieldardar4295 the y use sphere mode for destroying opponents field, not the gods themselves

VTA Yu-Gi-Oh but that is not what errata is lol

"i wish the god cards were completely banned and would never return" is what i just read. cuz keep in mind not ebing effected by spells and traps isnt the only difference. obelisk received infinite attack for the 2 tributes as an example

If they were like that ppl would just run kaijus

Master Discord He didn’t get infinite attack, though he did get infinite from absorbing the other gods, though the god cards definitely need a buff, especially ra, his effect is just sad. Also, instead of being completely immune to all spells/traps, maybe once per turn they get a negation effect for s/t? Like Seal of Orichalcos.

+Nine Tails Ra in real life sucks. Though Obelisk doesn't have no infinite effect, its equated to just being able to destroy a card.

nah people would use there immune to everything god cards

No, there's not.

@User some links require even 4 monsters as tribute

@User your trolling also

@User trolololo

@@nikolaikolev8252 wow yes you taught me how to play and what to do! ill rather waste 3 cards to summon a 100% not garbage beatstick beatstick that will get destroyed during my opponents standby phase instead of using them for actual good effects that can make me win and if it survives till battlephase i totally wont get my 7900 atk RA borrelsworded (an actual good link monster that needs 4 "tributes")

Because most people actually can't read.

Well to be honest, if you managed to somehow summon Slifer back during the time it came out, most monsters didn't have 3000+ attack points, so if you had even one card in your hand, your opponent would have trouble running it over. Effect removal notwithstanding.

Skull servants wreck slifer, my buddy had out a 6k atk slifer I summoned king of the skull servants at 13k atk slifer dropped him to 11k, gg slifer

lutin grognon oh boy. are you telling me it is unusual to have a pyramid in my anus ?

Lol

Basically: ra and slifers attk and def can be changed through their effects, same with the king of the skull servants. A zero attk and def monster can't change their attk and defence through their effects, either because they don't have one or their effect just doesn't increase attk and defence. Also zero attk and def monsters have zero attk and def as their original attk and defence while Slifer, ra and king of the skull servants original attk and def are based one certain factors. Hope that wasn't too confusing for ya

@@phantomnite But what about e.g. "Satellite Cannon" or "Armityle the Chaos Phantasm" ? Do they still got 0 ATK because they are expected to fall back to 0, so it's more like a buff rather than e.g. Kotsk where it's (figuratively) a power source? And so basically, it's just flavour, but treated the same in terms of rulings?

Bet he would even see some play then. "Can't be destroyed by card effects" would be the real boss effect here. But then you can still banish him. Defeating him in battle would be the thougher one.

It would be a solid tower monster with that effect, yes. Probably still a little bit to expensive for what you get, but definitely usable. You gotta consider that stuff like Utopia the Lightning exists, a one turn 5000 ATK beatstick that can just overrun Obelisk in battle.

Lol

Could be worse... Could be beating a Ra user with Sparks

+WyldM To be fair, if you're Tributing 3 monsters and using up a Normal Summon, you really *should* get something pretty busted.

But if you already have a board full of 3k attack monsters, why would you even need to play Ra?

Jacob so it can get magic cylindered and otk yourself 😂

For what it's worth, part of the reason the god cards got 'gutted' is because they're so old. Otherwise, they probably would've stayed a bit more intact... but still wouldn't necessarily end up being 'good'.

WyldM god cards are supposed to be on the more op side

With equip spells, it should be pretty damn obvious that you're targeting. After all you're specifically affecting one monster on the field with that card. With monsters equipping themselves or other monsters, a lot of those are union monsters and the rest I think do say target, could be wrong but I'm sure they do.
