@@mitchellely6568 For example, if your opponent controls Cyber Dragon, Cyber Dragon Core, Cyber Dragon Infinity, and Cyber Network, and you have 5 cards in your Graveyard, an Effect Veiler and a Shaddoll Fusion in your hand, and a Set Linear Equation Cannon, while your opponent has 2300 LP, can you possibly win in that turn? Assume, of course, an Extra Deck exclusively composed of various Shaddoll Fusion monsters.
Or, you know... most Yugioh cards, really. ATK, DEF, Level, Rank, your LP, your opponent's LP, number of cards in hand... all these and more can technically be considered algebraic variables.
The most annoying part about #8 is having to shout out "DUROW, MONSTAH CARDO!!!" each time you draw a monster card. It really strains your vocal cords after awhile.
honestly konami should make an alternate win condition card with maths that is not impossible or luck based but needs a lot of set up and counting to fulfill the condition
How to use linear equation cannon: 1. You have to have more cards on your GY that your opponent cards in their Field 2. Get the difference 3. Divide that result by the levels of every Monster your opponent controls, 4. If the result in any scenario is a whole number between 1 and 6, you're Good to go
Good advice that! Plus, opponent can have, at max, 6 level havers at a time, so that can even be faster than just dividing the difference by the numbers 1 through 6 potentially!
Or just set up a linear equation. You know. Like the card says. The steps work themselves out from there. No need to memorize a formula. y=mx+b y=number of cards in your GY m=level of opponent's monster you choose b=cards your opponent controls x=the number you should declare For any m such that x is an integer less than 6 and greater than 0, the player should declare said integer and choose the corresponding monster. There's no need to overcomplicate an extremely simple linear equation that my five year old nephew could solve.
@@arthropod-doctor your 5 year old nephew can't solve linear equations. Also even your explanation for how to setup the linear equation and the values of each part is complicated for someone who doesn't do higher level math concepts in their daily life.
@@th4tguybro Both of those words are close to each other in terms of sound :) Mat... Math... Ma'at doesn't have an h, but it sounds pretty close to math.
Correction about Card of the soul You can activate it without a valid target The actual effect is to just look at your deck The searching is optional ''Look at your deck, and if you do, you CAN add 1 monster...''
Top 10 cards that changed player behavoir in duels, such as: Gorz the Emissary of Darkness/Tragoedia: Attack with your weaker monsters first Kaijus: Don't solely rely on 1 boss monster Mekk-Knights: Mind the columns of your played cards Artifact Moraltach: Don't blind MST Maxx "C": Don't spam a board full of monsters carelessly Mirror Force: Make sure you put some monsters in DEF mode
Even nowadays whenever I see a facedown card my instincts kick in and scream "Its a mirror force! Do not do anything!!". You dont attack when the enemy has a facedown. Cause its ALWAYS mirror force when you least expect it.
Also Card of the Soul is a "you can," which means it LITTERALLY works like a MTG search card. If there is no card to find, the effects reads "look through your deck, then shuffle it." They learned from Crop Circles
Today's OTKs dont revolve around a lot of thinking honestly. Most top decks really just have combos and plays that run on autopilot once you get the right pieces that you looked up on youtube or the yugioh wiki. A lot of players aren't really as smart as they want to put on and just use spam-happy meta strategies.
@@ich3730 you jest but at least it was a lot more fun thinking about attacking with jinn when you can see the back row of cards your opponent has. As opposed to now where its just a bunch if negates that are in the hand you would never see coming from a mile away. You just wait for the negates to inevitably happen, or if you don't have negates, the otk to inevitably happen.
Celestial Sword - Eatos Because the intended combo with Guardian Eatos this card was designed for doesn't work because of the "When" instead of an "If" in its text
For reversal quiz, as someone that played back then, the main way to use it actually had you bypassing most of these restrictions by abusing soft once per turn continuous cards with Royal Magical Library, and Ignoring stacking your deck because it primarily used Convulsion of Nature and Archfiend’s Oath to just see what was on top of your deck, and using Giant Trunade to return them to your hand, and then draw your whole deck. it was very unfun to play against but actually very cool from a deckbuilding standpoint.
As someone who more familiar with mtg, why they just didn't print: "You conduct a second battle phase after the first battle phase" or something like that?
@@laszlokaszas1003 It is an intended part of the card that it skip to your next battle phase, not that you just get another one this turn; there are cards that give you an additional battle phase in the same turn, but that's not what this is supposed to do, it is 100% supposed to go to your next turn. Valkyries actually have a card that special summons as many of them as you want from your hand but then forces you to spin all monsters you control back to the deck during the end phase, and Mischief of the Time Goddess is designed to bypass that downside. The rest is mostly just making sure that there are no rulings issues whatsoever with it, due to changing turns while other cards are resolving potentially causing issues.
OG: Summoned Skull. Effect era: Chaos Emperor Dragon. Post-banlist era: Pot of Avarice. Pre-5Ds era: Raiza/Mole. 5Ds era: Dark Armed Dragon/Maxx C. Zexal era: ...not very versed in monsters of that time. Other than dragon rulers and Spellbook of Judgment. Pendulum era: not counting Pepe, would be Odd Eyes or Double Iris as the latter was just recently unbanned. Maybe Apoqliphort actually. Link era: Not counting SPYRAL, possibly an Infernoble monster. MR5: Halqifibrax.
When yugioh sevens ends I'd love to see a top 10 rush duel cards which would be used in the regular meta or a top 5 since there might not be 10 and I'm talking rush duel original cards not cards which appear in both formats
@@TheDuelLogs Royal demon's shout let's you destroy two cards in your opponent's hand if they control a level seven or higher monster, not the most broken effect but I think it is as close as it gets, also, pot of greed is legal there, but not many people use it cause, well, you get to draw 5 cards during your turn anyway.
EH Neos Alius is a prime suspect. It's LIGHT, LV4, 1900 ATK, Warrior, HERO, and a Gemini for "Gemini Spark". Nobody ever summoned it twice to gain it's effect. Flamvell Magician - FIRE, LV4, Tuner, 200 DEF. That's it. He would have been even better if he was a normal monster.
Never even heard of Linear Equation Cannon before, that's a hilarious card. I'd play it at the local tournament just as an excuse to pull out a monocle and TI-84 to instill sheer confusion in my opponents
Linear Equation Cannon is probably a pain to use because your opponent can change how many cards they control by chaining stuff to Linear Equation Cannon. Stuff that makes them Tribute or Send to GY cards they control is probably a pain, not to mention them just getting rid of their monster you target. But yeah, fun list & video! Thanks for uploading!
Top Ten Cards that have some strange interactions with their name. For example how the -roid archetype tries to avoid other “-roid” monsters like speedroids or how they changed Frog of the Jam to Slime toad because of the Frog Archetype
Thank you for Honorable mentions at the end. so many cards can make any list you do, and there noteworthy cards deserve a little showcase after the #1 spot :)
Honorable mention: the F.A. archetype. Their levels change constantly from activating fa cards and effects as well from phase to phase. And their attack value and their secondary effects depend on their levels as well as of course for synchro summoning. A real hot mess if you play it in real life
This is the hiru formula. I don't get what was to be misunderstood about why lists about niche topics within a large card game is genius video content.
Fun Fact that Card of the Soul was a key card in the meta for a time in Duel Links for Desperato Barrel Dragon deck since 1 skill makes you start off at 5000LP to practically having 6 copies of the decks boss monster.
Duel Logs, don't ever stop making topics like these! Absolutely love your videos, your the only top 10 guy I can listen to for hours. Keep up the amazing work man
@@matheusreidopedaco Fun fact: Mischief of the Time Goddess is the only card in the game that skips the End Phase without skipping the turn that the End Phase was skipped.
I find these topics incredibly entertaining. I like stats. I like the weird ways in which things can work. I like looking at really hard to pull off cards and then use them anyway. Oh, and I also like math. So in my upcoming Yu-Gi-Oh series I will try to find a way to use Linear Equation Cannon. Keep it up!
I am a relatively new player in the game and this show content, whatever is meta relavant or only for curiosity, actually helps me understand and enjoy the game even mare. So keep doing the great work that you are doing because is very well appreciated and enjoyed. And remember to keep yourself safe in this crazy times.
You can always resolve card of the soul, searching is optional. This also means that if you activate it and realize you have no targets, your activation of card of the soul was still legal, so you can’t take it back.
People always joked (me included) that you need a math degree to play Yu-Gi-Oh, but when you got to number 1, I couldn't stop laughing. The joke is real. There is no longer a parody lmao
Doing 1st grader math isn't the problem with Spirit Sculptor it's having to memorize the exact stats of your monsters because you can't look them up during the duel.
Ikr? DL makes a big deal out of the math on these cards but keeping track of everything's way more complicated than any simple multiplication and addition.
Neat how you mention Wiseman when talking about Ma’at seeing as it’s the combination of Winged Kuriboh and Light and Darkness Dragon in the GX manga apparently. ...So why did both big fusions between two characters’ main monsters in the GX anime aand manga end up as a main deck monster? That’s weird af
Well, they certainly nerfed Ma'at because her manga effect would literally allow you to play your entire deck and give her ATK and DEF equal to that many cards x1000 as long as you had Convulsion of Nature on the field... Not sure why they crippled Neos Wiseman, though. Also remember that they made Light End Dragon and Dark End Dragon from the GX manga into _Synchro monsters_ for some reason.
Card of the Soul actually can be resolved with no targets. The mandatory effect is "Look at your Deck." The adding of a valid target is a conditional optional effect.
i just wanna say that i love it when you include a bit more trivia into these videos. like how you talked about wall of revealing light and inspection, and how inspection got a unique ruling, and that kinda stuff. it doesn't have that much to do with the theme of the list, but i'm here beause i like your voice and because i find it interesting to learn about all of these obscure yugioh cards, so i love it!
Ma'at is easily Summoned with two copies of either "Quantum Cat" or "Swamp Mirrorer" since you can declare both the Attribute and Type you want those Trap Monsters to be.
This was a great video as always. I know you tend to stay away from subjective or opionated themes like " Annoying cards " , but you made this one pretty objective and unanimously agreed upon that the cards are annoying and not worth playing. Amazing video!
@@youtube-kit9450 I'm not joking. I usually run swords at 3 copies and if there are other cards that you can cheese with time goddess I would definitely run her at 3 as well. That's honestly a really broken combo. I understand you can just easily get rid of it with any spell/trap removal but if your opponent doesn't draw into anything that can get rid of back row they just won't be able to attack until they do.
@@Haunter_1616 goat format is a format where people use old cards (around 2005 iirc), swords of revealing light is not that good in modern Yu-Gi-Oh because people run spell and trap removal for a certain field spell, there's also the fact that the spell and traps removal is better with twin twister, lightning storm, or even harpie's feather duster that is recently unbanned and now limited
I would love a linerar equation canon archetype. Calculated Rebirth: Roll a 6 sided dice. You and your opponent can pick a number between 1 and 3. The first who picks a number resolves the following effect: - If your number and the dice roll add up to a number that is divisable by 3, you can special summon monsters from your graveyard up to the number you picked, otherwise your opponent can special summon monsters up to the dice roll.
Why the hell desires is NOT on this list? Almost every time it's activated, At least one of your combo pieces/most important cards gets banished. Sometimes even all copies of them
Why do you play it in decks that have the potential to even have that happen? Pot of Desires is for decks that run most or all of their important cards at three, or after you've already searched the "one of"s in your deck. Why on earth would you play that card if you knew half the time it was going to screw you over?
Another good reason for these videos it's to bring some ideas of weird or annoying gimmick decks with strange cards that almost no one play because of the specific or complicate requerement
Yeah, Duellogs got that wrong this time. The mandatory effect is "Look at your deck" The actual search afterwards is optional, so if you have no targets, you can still activate Card of the Soul.
Before people start wondering. Ma'at is a clusmy adaptation of the Manga version of the card which is also a fusion, which specficly requires Light and Darkness Dragon and Winged Kuriboh. Effect is constantly draw if you call the card correctly otherwise you can only use it once. In the manga the character who used it had a power to see the cards in his deck so he would always call it right. Its one of those big anime/Manga Ass pulls
"the character who used it had a power to see the cards in his deck so he would always call it right." I didn't remember Jaden being able to do that, so I looked it up. It was Ma'at herself _telling_ Jaden what he'd draw.
Great list. Linear Equation Cannon is the most convoluted card in the game. However, Slash Draw inflicts 1000 damage for each card destroyed, not 2000.
Honestly your videos have introduced me to things I'd never otherwise even consider. And they explain why some things are broken in certain context. Now we gotta have fun with some other cards like best ways to troll opponents, like with Castle of Dark Illusion
I'm honoured to be the 7th viewer, but it's too early and I can't think of a joke So I just want to tell you I appreciate all the videos you've made over the years. I don't even play yugioh any more but these top 10s are therapeutic
I stopped playing Yugioh looooooong time ago, Synchro wasn't even a thing, but I love watching your videos to see how Ludacris things have become on the current game and how old cards that I had, still have an impact and/or were too crazy for the game
I like niche topics like this since you basically always get cards people don't know very well. Even on "Worst of" lists the top card is likely to be well-known because of how bad it is, but something like "Cards so annoying to use that people probably don't even remember what they do" is really cool. "Top 10 Level 3 monsters that can't be special summoned" or "Top 10 spell cards that can only be used as a chain" or something like that, to the point where offhand I don't even know if such topics could fill a top 10, or if it would be worth it if all the cards would be trash placements with one or two good cards near the end.
Linear Equation Cannon: "it does allow you to reliably pull off that yes effect, as long as you are able to do math in your head quickly" As someone who CAN do math in their head, I can tell you that L.E.C. is anything but consistent. For an algebra equation only being able to chose a whole, positive number from 1 to 6 is INCREDIBLY limiting, so with most boards it's actually impossible to fulfill the "yes" requirement. And don't even get me started on the fact that it can only be activated during the Battle Phase... Seriously I could probably write an ~essay~ about how hard it would be to actually resolve this cards positive effect.
Hey, I don´t really play Yu-gi-oh activly and only watch your vids cuz of the niche and entertaining top 10 rankings. It just shows me how cool and sometimes weird this card game can be. Thank you for the videos and pls keep up with your work, it´s amazing stuff
