Number 2: Any card that tributes for non-once per turn effect damage Number 3(?): Djinn Releaser of Rituals Number 4(?): Orcust Harp Horror Number 5(?): Fairy Tail Snow Number 6(?): Heroic Champion Number 7(?): Denglong, First of the Yang Zing Number 8(?): The Phantom Knights of the Rusty Bardiche Number 9(?): Destrudo Number 10(?): Grinder Golem ...Could probably just to shortened to having Number 1 be "Cards not banned in the OCG"
As annoying as anime characters, and Yu-Gi-Oh RU-vidrs, constantly repeating effects of cards they've used constantly, the reason it happens is simple. Any mention of a card could potentially be someone's first exposure to it. Especially with banned cards that typically only get reprinted in Battle Packs or collector sets.
Absolutely. They had to know that two DM Legendary Collections in a row wouldn’t sell all that well because most of the iconic chase cards for those would either be banned cards or cards that were too shitty for the modern game. Most of the high rarity stuff for Joey’s World had just been in Yugi’s World, and there wasn’t much incentive to print other cards at that rarity.
100%. They also released it as a Common AND this set had more Commons than usual. So the chance to get Sixth Sense was also lower, meaning people bought more product to get it.
Rusty Bardiche - Thats not a cost, thats part of the effect. There is no semi-colon to send, it doesn't send if its effect is negated, as a cost would.
In fact, Dragon Rulers liked putting stuff in the graveyard so much that they actually sometimes called 3 & 4 with Sixth Sense. That's because drawing 3 or 4 cards was incredibly good, but so was milling 5 or 6 cards. Choosing 3 & 4 is hedging your bets so that 2/3 times you get a really good result, while choosing 5 & 6 meant you had a 1/3 chance of an amazing result and 1/3 chance of an okay result.
@@dresdenblack3905 Milling 3-4 cards is a good result, just not as good as drawing 3-4 cards. Having cards in the graveyard is good for almost any deck because there are a lot of cards that either target the graveyard or can be used from the graveyard. Having a card in your hand is better aside from specific decks but getting cards in your hand isn't as easy as getting them into the graveyard. Choosing 5/6 on Sixth sense is basically auto-winning the game if you get the draw effect because you're more or less guaranteed to get enough cards to be able to do whatever you want, and in decks that are consistent and powerful enough they have a good chance of winning even if you only choose 3/4 cards and get the draw effect, then since you need to take a 1/3rd chance of milling a high number of cards (3/4 or 5/6, heck some people might even choose 3/6 if they feel that draw 4/5 is enough to win) then you will more consistently win off of Sixth Sense if you make the mill effect as high as possible without compromising your ability to win off of the draw effect.
You should've had a #0 spot for the legendary card that got banned prior to it's release in the TCG, Temple of the Kings. The card that was so broken in the OCG that Upper Deck Entertainment was smart enough to ban it prior to it's release in the TCG.
@@Gavvi2552 simple, it's the only thing that makes dragoon splashable in other decks instead of it being relegated in the Dark Magician and Red Eyes decks. So, Why ban a monster that can be good only because of verte anaconda, a card that can be a huge problem in the future, and not ban anaconda itself?
Before I watch the list: The first card that comes to mind is Sixth Sense. I remember when TheDuelLogs did a video on "The Top 10 Gamble Cards", he had Sixth Sense as Number 1. In that video, he mentioned that the card had to get emergency banned so I'm guessing that it was quick and that's why I think it will be on this list.
Pot of greed x3, graceful charity x3, etc. Might as well just play rock paper scissors and decide duels off of that, 'cause whoever goes first is just gonna pull of an Exodia FTK.
Can I just say that it's very refreshing to actually see a RU-vid video that gets to point instead of going trough a 1:30 minute introduction about the channel and why the video is important. It made me so happy that you just started with the list.
I don't think you can place all the blame on Konami. Yeah, there are cards that are out-of-the-box ridiculous but players are always looking for ways to make something broken or something nobody used becomes broken after the fact. Like Super Rejuvenation.
Bardiche doesn't have cost to activate his first effect, sending and setting is all one effect. You activate bardiche, your opponent then has a chance to respond, not send a phantom knight card, then your opponent responds. The card would've been banned a lot earlier if that was the case. Cost or requirements for activation will always be ended by a semi colon.
I think an interesting idea might be something like: Top 10 Sets That Changed YuGiOh Forever, basically just the sets that weren't necessarily *the best* but had the biggest most obvious impact on the game in the long run
@@MrMariosonicman This is a possibility, but even if it is true that would only cover half the list I think its also worth remembering that the sets that introduce the new summoning type aren't always the ones that make that mechanic viable, I believe it was pendulum monsters that were abysmal until several sets after their release (but I'm not certain of that). Also I suspect (though can't be sure) that sets that introduced long term trends (like those that made negates more common, or that began the addition of hand traps, or turn one focus) would likely have a larger overall impact than sets that "only" introduced a new summoning mechanic but otherwise kept the game fundamentally the same
@Ignatius David Partogi i can't grasp what you are saying, but if you think archetypes killed the strategy in Yu-Gi-Oh I don't think I could in any case
You know, I think that a good video topic could be : "Top 10 most undersupported archetypes in Yugioh." Day 410 of waiting for New Volcanic Support to arrive
I just wanna say that I really appreciate how quickly you get into the main content of the video. So many youtubers drone on and on but with you the video actually starts by like the 10 second mark. Big ups!
8:53 I think you got that wrong... You can only use 1 of Gumblar's effects per turn, once. It still allowed you to discard 4 cards from your opponents hand though, which is also completely broken.
May I suggest a possible future topic if we're talking about banned cards? "Top 10 most banned sets in the TCG." Look at each set see how many cards have been banned across the years from each set. and see which set is over all the most banned. A magic the gathering RU-vidr I watch did that from magic and I'm curious how well that would translate in Yu-Gi-Oh?
@@slothstradamus89 it was third. Which surprised me. Alpha the first ever set was number one. Think about it the power-9, channel, demonic tutor etc etc.
@@EBroxas72 Oh damn how could I let Alpha/Beta/Revised slip my mind?! Or rather, I think they probably crossed my mind and I dismissed them thinking, "Eh, even w/ THOSE 9 cards that's still not more than Urza's Saga" lol. The more ya know! 🌈🌠 Just curious, you said Urza's Saga was number THREE...well damn what busted ass set was #2?!
@@slothstradamus89 Eeyep. the list was counting any card that was on any ban list for each of magic's formates. and cards that were banned but then lifted. in total alpha/beta/revised had 33 cards that have had time on the ban list. and number 2 was Mirrodin or the set where wizards were was like "hmmm let's make basic lands that are like snow lands but they count as artifacts. and put a bunch of spells that combo off of the number of artifacts you have!" in the same set. in the same game with a lot of artifact support outside of the set. it only had 2 more cards then Urza though so it was close. Nizzahon Magic is the RU-vidr that made the list I am talking about. and is good if magic is your thing. I am very promiscuous with my card games and I watch basically every one lol, magic pokemon yugioh etc etc.
Dark strike fighter was a ftk tool banned 6 months after it was released. The original version has no restriction on the number of times you can tribute for burn damage.
@@nodeberiaestaraqui93 as far as I heard, they were hesitant to ban it since it was a main protagonist's boss monster, but I do agree; it makes sense that it's just to make money.
Rusty is that being able to search The Phantom Knights' RUM Launch let you make Azathot on your opponent's turn locking them out of monster effects for the turn while giving you a pop. Great vid!
I appreciate the volume of videos you've been releasing, especially with such interesting ideas. During a pandemic, no less! Keeping us entertained and distracted during the quarantine. Thank you so much!!! :)
I keep wondering why Dragon Rulers and Spellbooks were not T0 decks. But then I remember that Dragon Rulers and Spellbooks were out at the same time! So no wonder that, although they are both T0 Archtypes (Dragon Rulers being the best T0 in my opinion) they didnt gain T0 status. Because they were the only T0 archtypes that faced an other T0 archtype!
@@AlbertoRamirez-cw6dy 4 materials is a lot also he has no protection from monster Effects which is an issue since a lot of monsters have removel Effects.
@@AxisChurchDevotee Yeah that's why you need to destroy your opponent on the turn you summon him and enter the battle phase immediately since he negates all monster effects during the battle phase
8:55 actually people would use Aqua dolphin twice to discard one/two cards out of your opponent’s hand (if they were able to) and then use Gumblar’s extra link or normal effect to get rid of two opponent’s cards, then on the opponent’s turn to discard 2 more EDIT: Gumblar is a 1 effect per turn, but it’s still one of the dumbest handlooping card ever made
I think Gorz the Emissary of Darkness was limited 2 months BEFORE he was released in the TCG, but he was limited not banned, so he wouldn't appear on this video.
They were very hesitant to use the ban list after implementing it because a lot of people quit over it. I believe it was 85% of the top performing decks between regionals-championship were chaos control. I was one of those top 85% who won my regional. I played until the day before the ban list dropped and then I sold everything and moved on from yugioh. The ban list at the time took my 40 card deck and gutted it in half. They banned half of the cards in a control chaos deck. 85% top players were running it, means a lot of pissed off people.
I remember pulling Chaos Emperor Dragon from a booster in the past. Always kept that card even though it was banned. Never really got to play with it, besides with some friends, but I loved the design and it was my first actual „lucky“ pull as I barely had the money to buy boosters in the first place
Konami:makes broken card Players: why did you make such a broken card just to ban it 8 months later Konami: so I can use it to force people to get the new pack or else they will lose majors
Topological Gumblar dragon was not banned in unique ban list of the Link evolution yugioh game. It was used with hero decks to discard 4 cards from your opponents hand then end with a dark law. Very surprised to see it here. That means they knew this strategy would happen and still let it live in the game.
i swear bardiche was actually banned because combined with time thief redoer you could use the rank up spell to go into azzathot during your opponents turn basically ending their turn
@@AxisChurchDevotee the babies caused the consistency to spike and pretty much outpaces you in the tempo. by the time your turn is up, they probably have a draccosack, big eye or other hard to kill monsters waiting for you. and if you manage to deal with that, they'll simply repeat it again with little effort.
@@AxisChurchDevotee they are since they are used to not only set up your graveyard, but it gave them direct access to their adult version from their deck. sure the adults can't attack that turn, but it doesn't stop them from continuing its combo. they make the adult's work much easier with little dillemma.
Thought it'd be worth mentioning that Temple of the Kings got banned so fast in the TCG that it wasn't even officially released in the TCG when they banned it. If I recall, they actually emergency banned it something like a whole day or two before Structure Deck Marik officially released for the TCG.
0:01:58 - iirc, Rusty Bardiche was banned because it searched 2 Fog Blades for Orcust back in the day, before both Rusty and Mermaid were banned, and at the same time, summoning Dingirsu, you could send a card to the GY and destroy a card in one chain link.
this video really showed me how out of date my yugioh knowledge is because i have no idea how Link cards work, and the Dragonlords were the only cards i actually knew about
I felt kinda sad when dragon rulers got banned because i bought the Spezial boxes they came in and after like 1 month since i bought these boxes they just banned them i know that they are broken but still
I take it an emergency banlist is where Konami takes a look at a card and immediately says "OH SHIT!" and bans it the very next day? Jeez, how broken would something have to be to get that to happen?
Note on Gumblar, he can't use both of his effects in the same turn so only 2 discards per turn from him even if he's co-linked . Gumblar for 6 often meant ripping one with Dolphin for 5 then ending on a co-linked Tri-Gate to negate the only card left. Other version were a thing, like using it in Mermail with Moulinglacia for a true handloop but most often you'd just rip 4 and set up some negation.
Let’s be clear here six sense was not Unbanned to test the waters it was Unbanned to sell that crappy tin and it was the stupidest thing ever that made me quit Yu-Gi-Oh
Video ideas: 10 Decks that could potentially be/have been Tier 0 Top 10 cards that NEED to be banned in the next banlist Top 10 OCG cards that if they’d came out in the TCG would absolutely change the game
Rusty Bardiche does not have any costs to any of it's effects. The set an S/T from the deck is part of the *effect* to send a Phantom Knight to the grave.
You should create a video about the worst cards that are banned. Probably wouldn't be big but a lot of cards are banned because it works well with just 1 or 2 other cards.
thank you thank you for explaining why they were banned in a simple way to listen instead of just reading the effect. Made the video very pleasurable to watch/listen
Could you make a video about that pepe deck? I've hearing about how broken it was that emergency bans had to be done several times for that only deck, but as a non yugioh player I dunno too much about it
Almost didn't sub but, not only did you do it at the end, you also did it extremely quickly and didn't make a big show about it... Respect, so you get sub :)
You should make videos were you explain archetypes or engines (not everything but only their main strategy) this may not be a top 10 video option , but it would be still interesting enough to be viewed
i remember when we first got leaks for judgement and people thought it was a joke or a mistranslated card. Like "there's no way they made the best card ever for one of the best current decks right?'" That plus e dragons def solidified that as the dark ages of the game for me.
I'm very very old and its been ages since i thought about the competitive scene. But wasn't exchange of the spirit banned within one week of its release? Makyura the destructor ftk was viable for a single regional tournament where it got first place. There was a one-day gap between the set releasing and the new ban list going into effect so this one event was a loophole where the card would be playable.
I came back to this game after 10 years and I’m so surprised to hear that the Chaos Emperor Dragon (with typo) that I pulled from a booster pack is the reason why there’s a ban list now 😮
He gives all the credit to CED but TBH the meta was stuffed with OP super cards at that point like Yata which also went on the list. The first ban list was a complete massacre that reset the entire game and as such resulted in the most outrage and/or debate in the player base.
IDK if this is a video you've done this before I checked but didn't see anything but I'd love a Top 10 Anime Only Cards IDK If you'd divide them by series and I guess it would be kinda hard cuz they obviously don't see play so it would be hard to rank based viability and cards are kinda hard to judge at face value but it might be a fun video some website should have a list of anime only cards and their effects
