Explaining All Banned Main Deck Monsters in YuGiOh [Part 6] 

I've tried looking up why monkey board was banned before and never completely understood until this video

I’d love to see the progression of ritual monsters in a “why they failed”/card logs because they only were failing for uhhh 15 years roughly even if they arent anymore lol

It's actually insane how strong "Jar" monsters are despite being so old. Even the ""meh"" ones like Morphing Jar 2 are still very strong, despite not being meta.

Imagine resolving Fiber Jar after your opponent activates Pot of Desires

Hearing "Nekroz of Colossus" like 6 times in a row while the actual name was on the screen was kinda funny NGL

Lunalight Tiger doesn't need a hard once per turn. Just make it that either Monsters summoned by it's effect can only be used as Material for a (Lunalight)-Fusion Monster or that you can only special summon lunalight monsters after you used it. Maybe a lock to only being able to summon fusions for the rest of the turn would be enough. The reason Tiger was banned was because of all the rank 4 decks that abused it's swarming potential, it is totally fine in pure Lunalight decks.

For Monkeyboard, I would limit summons to Performapals AND Odd-Eyes monsters, since Performapals are also a support archetype for Odd-Eyes

Cards unbanned since this video Performapal Monkeyboard Lunalight Tiger Cyber Jar

Lunalight Tiger is at 3 in the OCG. Never believe when a card is banned in TCG, OCG will follow suit. OCG is a lot harsher on combo decks with all the distruption they have despite having Mystic Mine and recently Fusion Destiny banned.

Yugi to Noah: "But how were you able to escape the destructive power of Cyber Jar?!" Good times. I'd like to see a top 10 on Ancient Gears or the Cyber Dragons. Machine types can use some love. Both are still my favorites even to this day.

Notable detail you missed about Fiber Jar: It does not shuffle Banished cards back into the deck, so if your opponent had to Banish for costs (I.E. Levianeer) they're still down in resources.

Lunalight Tiger is back!

And now 17 may 2022, Monkeyboard is now Limited!!

Monkeyboard back baby!!!!!!!!!!!!

You would not believe who came off the banlist today

I remember coming back to yu gi oh after years and being so confused as to why tiger is banned as Lunalight is my 2nd favorite deck of all time.

Le monke is now free leta goooooooo

Really nice video as always my friend but one little comment on monkeyboard: As someone who plays a lot of current format pendulum, i can tell you that Monkeyboard is way weaker than you think. The card looks crazy on paper, but the only good use it has in modern pendulum builds would be searching Joker. This is a really strong interaction don‘t get me wrong, but the problem monkeyboard creates is that it locks your scale with a 4 Scale you don‘t want there. There is not a single good performapal highscale that would be worth searching instead of Joker and the pendulum magician engine as a whole is just WAY better. The effort to get rid of Monkeyboard after you searched, to unlock your scale for other plays, neutralizes the advantage you generate by searching with it. So honestly: The card could go to three tomorrow and it wouldn‘t change a lot. But that‘s just my opinion.

There's a new Jar card announced recently with Cyber Jar in it artwork. The name is Flip Jar. To be exact, the artwork is a half Cyber Jar and half the normal monster Ancient Jar. The effect instead of destroys all monster, it has "flip other monster face-down" with bonus giant Trunade-ing all spell & trap.

13:04 ah yes my favourite ritual monster nekroz of colossus...

Literally every card in this video doesn’t need to be banned anymore. Pendulum still has to deal with the fact that Konami seems to hate the mechanic because all of their new support has been absolute trash. If Electrumite stays banned, every single pendulum hit could peel off the list and be fine. Even crazy strong cards like Kiran are hampered by being pendulum cards. Pendulum is hardly even a rogue strategy and getting a bunch of stuff taken off the list wouldn’t suddenly bring them back to MR3 status. Djinn doesn’t need to be banned either at this current moment in time since Drytron can’t even use the thing because of how their ritual spells lock their ritual materials. Nekroz is at full power now minus the Djinn lock and does absolutely nothing. Keeping Djinn banned helps future-proof, but it’s not a necessary hit now. The Jars are all terrible because they’re flip monsters. You can run other cards to facilitate turn 1 flips, but then you’re relying on 2-3 card combos to get them to go off the way you want which is a sure fire way to brick. Empty Jar isn’t even a particularly strong FTK nowadays with the abundance of hand traps that are able to completely stop it. And hand traps just so happen to be pretty easy to come across when your opponent is trying to deck you out by overdrawing.

Can you make a list: Cards that would be broken if they weren't bound to their specific archetype.

They should never change any effect of any JAR monster because it’ll ruin the whole point of the cards.

I remember pulling a Cyber Jar when I was a kid. And it was a rare.... Lol

Neat analysis & list video! Looking forward to more like this! Thanks for uploading!

Great video! Tiny correction at the start the effect of monkey adds a Performapal to your hand as opposed to just any pendulum.

I've never noticed until today (and this card is probably my favorite card in the game). The little green blob at the top coupled with the triangle valves below it look like a face. I have no idea why I've never noticed this before, but the artwork is awesome.

DuelLogs, you forgot the other special thing about Fiber Jar, that it can shuffle back to the deck by itself, even when it's attacked and about to be destroyed by battle.

The main combo for Djinn was having Manju and basically....anything in your hand. Manju get you the Kaleido+Unicore combo. If you needed Kaleido you search Claus to send to grave and search that way. Herald search Cycle. Make Lavalval Chain (another banned card) with Manju and Unicore. Chain send Djinn. Use Cycle to bring back Claus using Djinn from grave as material. Congrats you Djinn lock with a bunch of cards still in your hand because the deck doesn't know how to go minus.

I can't remember if you covered Astrograph Sorcerer. I actually looked it up and thought the pendulum effect was what did it... but turns out the fact the monster effect is not hard OPT is what does it.

I miss my flip effect deck. It may have been full of weak monsters but get the right combo and you'd be unstoppable in your mission to destroy your opponents deck

I actually think that Cyber Jar could be put to 1 with no problems with it as is. It's effect has a conditional "then", so if there's a monster that can't be destroyed by or unaffected by card effects, then there's no draw and it just blows up the destroyable monsters. There's also a plethora of hand-traps that could stop it and plenty of removal that the only viable deck it could go in is Empty Jar, which never sees success.

Great video as always!

"lunalights are a better archetype then pure predaplants" oof this is not going to age well

That event djin released of rituals topped was a tragedy, it was a mirror match and there was a gentleman's ruel where they wouldn't use it but the guy who topped left it in his deck

Locking monkeyboard into performapals wouldnt make sense as its also odd eyes and magician support.

I enjoy your videos, they are very entertaining. Great job!

Such a good and informative video! Nice job.

Fiber Jar wouldn't exactly reset the game if there is an Xyz monster on the field because of the way Xyz Materials work. The materials would go to grave, while the monster would go back to the extra deck.

Not sure if you've done this before, but can you do a video where you compare the TCG and OCG banlists?

Finally getting into yugioh after lurking on this channel for years. I'm going to play through the yugioh game.

Cyber Jar and Morphing Jar #2 are my boys. They made Level 4 beatdown feel so fun to play back in the early days of the card game - and how Morphing Jar #2 could mill the opponent's deck of Spell/Trap cards and higher level monsters was the icing on the cake.

I'm excited to see the last two parts

Aww the banned jars brings me back . Opponent link combos off and then you flip fiber jar 😆😆😆

The main card you forgot that got Djinn banned was Lavalval Chain being summoned off two unicore to send it to the grave.

Yesterday, Konami released "Bridge of Salvation. It basically works like Fiber Jar as a Trap card lol

Fiber jar in legacy of the duelist story deck is probably the only viable use for it other than trolling: in that specific duel, you can use it to remove the seal of orichalcos, which then basically resets the duel without it because of its once per duel clause. As far as I know, most if not all other once per duel effects are immediate activation and not an effect that stays on the field indefinitely

Lunalights are a deck that intrigues me. I’ll have to try it one of these days

You should do top 10 staples for master duel & guides on what cards would be good to get & why, especially since you are so knowledgeable about the game!

For Lunalight Tiger, I'd much prefer the restriction be that it tribal locks you into the archetype for the turn if you use it's effect, this way the archetype can do the neat things it wants to do without needing the card being used outside of its own deck as a combo piece/engine component.

From my years of playing I feel like Fiber Jar is also banned because it makes duels way too long

Cyber Jar is my favorite card. It’s kinda strange how ridiculous it is.

Another reason Fiber Jar is so strong is that with all the special summoning mechanics in the game since it's release it's non-targeting non-destroying mass removal would give a player that triggered their own jar on their turn 5 cards in hand and no opposition outside of hand traps to stop them from attacking their opponent directly for 8000+ damage. A deck that could pull that off even semi-consistently would be incredibly toxic.

Would be interesting to get a top 10 anime rules that never made it to the real game. Normal summoning monsters in face up defense is the most glaring one.

If your cyber jar or fiber jar flips with Qliphort your opponent is up a creak and you don't have any worry at all. but hand traps are a thing too.

If you want an idea of the natsy ness of Fiber Jar, you could also use it with an Opponent Banish deck, as they will not get those cards back.

Lunalight tiger being banned was a sad day in my life I am once again asking Konami to give me a replacement pendulum monster

i always find it amusing that lots of card in yugi are like demon , god monster devil or something like that and some of aint that good( like arcfiend) but the PePe are just bunch of circus and cute card(such as guiturtle) and boom Tier 0

Lunalight Tiger, while insane with its archetype, was never truly utilized until TOSS format. In-archetype, all it ever did was enable extension into bosses that could OTK. In TOSS format, it was abused the most, by Orcust. Remember the "2 monsters on the field is full Orcust combo"? Lunalight Tiger facilitated that the easiest among the splashable engines in Orcust. Hence why it was banned alongside Harp Horror.

What do you think about doing a list for the strong new cards , like the new fusion monter released and the pradaplant support and so on

List suggestion "Top 10 cards that were banned because of meta game shenanigans."

djinn only requires the ritual summoned monster to be face up on the field to lock out the opponent due to how it's worded. i tested creature swap against it on ygo pro many years ago and i was still the one locked out of special summoning :(

How do I say this... Lunalight Tiger is no longer banned.

I enjoyed the one week when lunalight tiger made time thiefs relevent

I'd be happy with monkeyboard coming off, just so there can be more pendulum variant decks than just what we have now

I'd like to see a video on the top 10 generic skills in Duel Links. And maybe a top 10 unique skills too.

I love this guy's videos but I can't unhear how often he says "SO!"

I'm looking forward to the time when you talk about the huge can of worms that is the Victory Dragon.

Tiger doesn't need to be opt It just needs to lock you out of either special summoning anything that's not a Lunalight the turn you use either effect, or limit the only special summoning from the extra deck to Fusion

Another thing that makes Monkeyboard so broken, it's that thanks to the wording on it, the effect doesn't resolve as soon as you activate the card, it only has to be on the same MP it was activated

I miss lunalight tiger

12:18 + 19:19 Do these statements mean that one future episode of "Failed Cards and Mechanics in YuGiOh" will feature Ritual monsters and another will feature Flip monsters?

Strange. Just yesterday, I was thinking about Monkeyboard and was wondering if it should be unbanned.

I wanna see DuelLogs talk about if F.A. Monsters were/are viable competitively, given if they get going and the opponent can’t stop all of them, then you can get monsters immune to card effects or ones that are immune to battle destruction

Man, I remember back when Cyber Jar came out and I instantly put it into my deck and people looked weird at me at first.

Monkey board is absolutely locked to the performerpal type with the scale 4 effect

Playing Fiber Jar with win conditions is easy mode. Hard mode is winning with Soul Release. All you do is banish cards from your opponent's deck, reset, banish more, rinse and repeat. Your opponent will either concede or deck out.

Lunalight tiger now unbanned but limited, and gonna be really good in luna-brigade decks

Video idea I am always getting confused about rares, super rares and that Could you do video on explaining what all the rarities are and how to get them and odds in pulling them in a Yu-Gi-Oh otherthen buying them as a single card What are most expensive rarities and what cards are cheapest

I wonder if they'd ever make pendelums with different blue and red scales.

One thing to point out about Fiber Jar is that doesn't return banished cards. It was incredibly rare even at the time, but I remember some weird decks trying to mill the opponent by slowly banishing cards and exploiting Fiber Jar as much as possible.

honestly tiger can come back to 3 probably. its really strong but compared to what other decks do its not really that insane that 2 cards end on 4 level 4 special summons. the biggest problem with lunalight was that it was the best deck to do azathot without handtraps being able to stop it and/or orcust stuff for virtually free but now its just a rank 4 engine that would probably be merged in phantom knights.

If you could activate Fiber Jar while your opponent is under the effect of Droll & Lock Bird, that'd basically be a win right there. Though I don't know if that could be done consistently in any way

Im ready for the: "✨No~✨

They could honestly put both Jar monsters to 1 for a format to test it and they mostly like wouldn’t impact the current meta game. Flip effect monsters are just too slow nowadays and aren’t that hard to prevent their effects.

Top 10 inconsistent or difficult staple cards would be interesting.

One other problem with Fiber Jar is that it spins itself back, So unlike other stall cards limiting it doesn't solve the problem at all. If it reset everything except itself, That would still probably be too powerful But at least it'd have a balancing cost. (It'd effectively be a soft once per duel)

Now monkeyboard is limited lul🧐

I'm now just thinking to myself. Has there ever been a Sponge archetype? Like, Sponges don't do anything offensively, but they'd make your opponent kill themselves trying to stop you.

Fiber jar doesn't seem to affect banished monsters, so if a monster like Stardust dragon used its effect and temporarily banished itself right before fiber jar was flipped, it would just came back onto the field without any issues.

This videos are true gems can't get tired of it

At 10:30 I assume you wanted to say meta decks, since bardiche can be used outside of the Phantom Knights decks in strong buy non meta decks. I once again discovered a lot of things by the way.

Top 10 Laval monsters would be an interesting video

Oh hey!!! It's the guy who got me playing this fucking game.

Love how bad rituals are until the Nekroz joined the rituals.

To fix Djinn, all of the ritual support Djinns really, is to use modern design and change it's effect such that it *gives* a ritual monster that uses it as material the effect, so that something like Infinite Impermanence can then negate the effect after the fact.

fiber jar is like a weaker shahrazad, an mtg banned card that makes you play a sub game so that shows how annoying that can be, specially in tournaments

Lunalight Tiger can return to one, and i don't think konami would errata a card that don't be banned in OCG because imo its the OCG that errata the cards.

Best memory of Fiber Jar was during the 2003 World Championships, with the commentators getting increasingly fed up everytime Fiber Jar was activated. And it was activated a lot.

Had so much fun using Djinn Releaser and Relinquished. Stopping SS. Opp can only summon once. Relinquished has protection from that battle. Can then suck up the opps monster. Ez to get the Relinquished cards and ez to get the djinn to the grave.
