Top 10 Backrow Removal Cards YGO 

(gives reassuring pat on the back to Breaker the Magical Warrior) It's okay, buddy. You're #1 to me.

I love it when Mst targets Mst. It’s a good moment

"There is no card that is just MST, but better." Anyway, here's Twin Twisters. And here's Cosmic Cyclone.

I have soft spot for MST, always have it in my deck no matter what deck I build

The fact that Cosmic Cyclone has consistently seen play at multiple copies in Duel Links decks, where the cost is an entire fourth of your Life Points, should be a testament to how elite it is

Gotta shout out to my boy Stratos. Not only an amazing searcher, but also a potential feather duster as well

Hitting the opponent with evenly matched, it getting negated, hitting the opponent with a second evenly matched which also gets negated and then smacking the third down and wiping the floor with you opponent is one of the best moments in Yu-Gi-Oh. It not being a once per turn is huge.

It's an unwritten law, if your opponent target your mst with mst, you must activate your mst to destroy his/her mst first 😂

Harpie's Feather Duster is so powerful that in Duel Links, you can't get it normally. You can only get it via one of Mai's skills or using an Extra Card jewel, and that is completely random at that.

MST, Heavy Storm and Dust Tornado were the GOAT back in the Day

Shout out to Traptrix Myrmeleo not being a OPT on her backrow pop

Trickstar lightstage is pretty badass. A search, extra burn and a once per turn stun/send to grave

dont forget that MST can negate any spell card no matter what

19:50 "Translocation" Rollback

Archfiend Eccentrick is now used in Resonator decks since it can be easily searched by the engine coupled with the new support.

Harpie's Feather Duster rightfully earned the #1 spot. Even in the Harpie archetype, there are only 2 cards that can search it. Hysteric Sign can search up to 3 Harpie cards with different names. Harpie's Feather Storm specifically mentions Feather Duster by name and can add it from Deck or GY to hand when destroyed by an opponent's effect. Other searchers in the archetype can only search cards that mention Harpie Lady (and/or Sisters), or Harpies' Hunting Ground.

Duel Logs and yet another fantastic video, thanks master! As an old school player I still feel terrified when Harpie's Feather Duster gets resolved.

One of the first backrow removal cards in the TCG was Remove Trap printed in Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon. The only card from that set it could destroy was Dragon Capture Jar however. It's crazy how much backrow removal has evolved from destroying a single floodgate to bypassing floating effects and breaking entire boards.

Harpie’s feather duster is still a monster today. Still run it in every deck in Masterduel.

The sad music and him saying magic ruler is 22 years ago really almost brought a tear to my eyes

Mobius the frost monarch and his mega monarch form: well fudge you too

Interesting video as always

#11. Malevolent Catastrophe Literally had same effect with Heavy storm buy extremely slower since it's a trap

This is the earliest I've caught a vid since subbing😂

Typhoon is an interesting one. Not sure how much it is played competitively, but against decks that heavily rely on continuous spells/traps its a very unique counter.

Galaxy Cyclone can also see play in Galaxy/Photon since it can be used as normal and searchable via Wizard and Jumper, however it can be dumped by Galaxy Hundred for it's second effect.

Recently, I started playing 2 copies of Typhoon in my side deck in addition to 3 Cosmic Cyclone due to the presence of floodgates post-siding. At my regionals last weekend, my opponent set 1 card before activating their Crimson Gaia to search. I popped it with Typhoon and they had to pass. Never saw it coming up that I could activate it on turn 0 but it worked out well for me.

Great video completely agreed.

I remember buying World Wide Edition as a high school graduation gift to myself. I don't have the game anymore but I still have the promo cards albeit with wear, tear, and some tape.

I wonder how logs feels about adding honorable mentions to some lists, because I think we can make a case for something like Giant Trunade being on this list as it bounces instead of destroys which could be useful in some instances

I dueled my friend's Gusto deck with my Synchron deck and it started with me summoning Stardust Dragon and setting MST. My friend summoned a Gusto tuner monster (forgot which one) and activated Creature Swap. I panicked until I realize I had MST and Stardust Dragon's effect works on any effect that destroys. So I activated MST, tributed Stardust to negate it, and dodged Creature Swap.

This is the video I needed

Mobious the frost monarch was so annoying especially back in the day when it was released lol

TheDuelLogs always targets my backrow😱

Cosmic Cyclone & Night Beam are my favorites!

will there ever be a series where you go over successful archetypes? it would be cool to see the good side of yugioh decks

"fire king, the next meta deck" Yubel: I'm about to end this man's whole career.

For backrow removal, I use Dragon Spirit of White + Vision with Eyes of Blue combo, unlike other backrow, it sent not destroy spell or trap card to banished zone. And you can loop its effect each turn by using Vision with Eyes of Blue effect to return Dragon Spirit of White to hand, summon it again later. Understandable, this combo kinda slow and need the other normal/ special summon monster to use Vision with Eyes of Blue at the first place. Yes, it actual three card combo, and hard to pull-off. Plus, this can easily can be negated...

Shout out to the OG back row removal "Remove Trap" and "De-Spell"

Night Beam! Shoutouts to Doug, excellent against Branded

MST and Twin Twisters are always on the deck 😎😎

7:02 "Don't make fun of Night Beam!"

So I notice that A LOT of these cards are weather related spells (2:54, 4:58, 8:31, 13:29, and 15:27), and that there are even more that follow the trend yet didn’t make this list… This gives me an idea for a monster of the same kind: _Twister Typhoon Titan_ (WIND) Level 1 Thunder/Effect _Cannot be normal summoned/set. Must be special summoned by its own effect. If 5 or more of the turn player’s cards are destroyed or banished this turn (Quick Effect), you can special summon this card from your hand or GY, and if you do, it’s original level becomes equal to the number of cards that are banished or in the GY. This card that is face-up on the field or in the GY is Lao treated as LIGHT and WATER-Attribute. This card Gains 500 ATK/DEF and additional attacks per battle phase X its level. Each time a card is placed on the field or the effects of another card are activated: Increase this card’s level by 1, then you can Apply 1 of the following effects:_ ⚪️Tribute 1 card from your hand or field: Destroy that placed/activated card. ⚪️Tribute 2 cards from your hand and/or field: Banish that placed/activated card. ⚪️Shuffle 1 card from your hand or field: Shuffle that placed/activated card into its owners deck. ATK/? DEF/?

MST still top 10 after all this time. That’s longevity.

I think for me my favorite Backrow removal is Infinitrack Earth Shaker. Cause not only can you pop your oppenents backrow but your own cards getting rid of back row plus trigger your own floating effects is a double win for me.

Mr. Duelogs now we can make a video on the 10 worst backrow removal 😊😊😊

21:07 This game was my first exposure to the actual card game. And let me tell you, once you got Gemini Elf, Summoned Skull, Mirror Force, and Harpies Feather Duster, you just win every duel.

DuelLogs did a very similar list four years ago with Top 10 Cards That Demolish Backrow. I guess there's real issue with updating some of those old lists.

I always thought that lightning storm was a reference to Lightning Vortex and heavy storm

The best removal is the surrender button

On 7th place you must put heavy storm duster it so good at end phase when it resolve, make most of opponents quit match instantly...

MST, i remember 1st time played it in Joey game It destroy not negate 😂

I am here to offer my condolences to Breaker, who deserved that spot more than the Archfiend pendulum, and was limited on the banlist for this very reason. The disrespect was felt.

Top 10 banished recycler Kinda few in comparison to shuffle effects

15:50 i believe lightning vortex is a closer reference than raigeki in lightning storm 😂

I love me some Lightning storm and Evenly

Eccentrick seems like a good out to secret village of the spellcasters

What do you think of sacred phoenix of nephthys? Wipes out the back row and has a good attack

A little disappointed that you didn't bring up Cosmic Cyclone's history of activating skills in Duel Links.

In several years there will be quick-play mass backrow banishing that can't be responded to, while also have GY effect to do the same thing. Which is a combination of mst, duster, cosmic, night beam, and galaxy cyclone. Sounds broken? Yes. Will it be in everyone's Main? Probably not. But Side Deck will be

Question Do Spirit monster end phase effect activate before ectoplasma or vice versa?

I played a Deck that was basically Mystic Mine in YGO Master Duel and had 0 Monsters in it. I won so so many games but some of my most important cards got banned or limited before I could go straight to diamond rank. :( Anyway, no one was prepared for this kind of Deck since everyone knew Mystic Mine was banned and thus I won all the time.

Evenly matched is such a good card. Game morphing for anyone going second

TheDigimonLogs when 👀👀

And for the worst backrow removal effects that are actually used, I nominate Predaplant Spider Orchid. Archfiend Eccentrick but worse. But it is a lv1 plant, so you can search it, which makes it fine

Top 10 effects to set S/T from the deck

"As more good options emerge..." Yes, options that also actually negate.

“Translocation rollback”.

I believe MST, Cosmic Cyclone, and Twin Twisters are better than Harpies Feather Duster and Lightning Storm in a way. Especially if you go 1st. Since they are Quick-Play spells, you can destroy their cards as soon as they set it, ruining their planned combos. 😊

Thanks 4 the update. The game changes so much dat dis is very needed. Like & comment

I still put MTS in a few of my decks

Cosmic Cyclone purely cause it banishes is my favourite back row removal to play

Feather duster all you need is starter deck Joey and get your hands on a Griffin wing

I understand why it wasn't in the list as it's not primarily an anti backrow card but I feel S:P little knight should've gotten an honorable mention at the knightmare phoenix as it's basically a powercrept version the knightmare monsters

This thumbnail gives me PTSD from when I got back into the game and used cosmic cyclone against Evenly with a full board

19:08 There's something better than removing the last card after the Evenly, destroying your own Evenly, so by the time it resolves you control no cards.

I always run Evenly Matched if my deck has the space, but every single deck I have used has had Feather Duster.

mst might not be the strongest backrow removal anymore but it is still the coolest, just OG in blood

Imagine printing a card so broken and simple that after 20+ years there's nothing to make it better. They would only be able to do it with something like mst+ a graveyard effect . But that's a bonus. What it does is spell speed 2 disruption on either players turn which is all you could ever want to destroy a spell card. Maybe negate and destroy?

Shout of to my buddy Dragunity Knight - Areadbhair. Sure, their floating effect rarely triggers, It's often too late if it activated, and most of the time does nothing.

‏‪18:06 Nice alliteration

GIANT TRUNADE

Best backrow removal is still odd eyes gravity dragon, because you return them to HAND and the opponent cant react to it.

I always tech backrow removal just in case

Finally, someone that agrees on Lightning Storm 💀 It's not the be all end all of card removal... it's not bad, but it's far from perfect.

Top ten monsters to set facedown

in Duel Links Cosmic Cyclone is so common now that as soon as I set my Cosmic Cyclone, my opponent activates their Cosmic Cyclone to remove my Cosmic Cyclone...

Top 10 archetypes, based on other properties

Probably not worthy of this list, but I can't forget that I popularized Fairy Wind as a side deck option at my locals, after my opponent tried to finish me with Backs to the Wall and I chained it.

Only thing about MST I don't get is why most of the time the effect of the targeted S/T card resolves BEFORE destruction...🤔

Now we just need an upgraded Harpie’s Feather Duster that simply banishes all your opponent’s spells/traps without cost… and make it quick play 😆

Boy oh boy if Nightbeam was a quick play spell ...

Top 10 Divine Beast/Wicked/Sacred Beast Cards

nice

The fact that Night Beam is only good against face down cards instead of any backrow makes it seem inflexible. Can you explain how it works against Branded Despia? how would get they Mirriorjade if you used Night Beam? Either Night Beam Resolves and they shouldn't get a fusion or it gets negated somehow and they continue as normal. Also I find it funny that a card that can banish opponent's monsters on quickplay with only using material from your extra deck (nothing in hand needed!) is actually not super broken.

How much higher would MST be on the list if it also negated?

10:21 Strange artwork of Eldlich :(

Giant Trunade my beloved....
