Top 10 FTK Decks in Yugioh's History (Decks That Win On Your First Turn) 

It's more or less pouring Salt in an open wound...

@@Laszlo_Vasko me as a paleo frog player, honestly i would suffer, as ronintoadin such a good combo extender in my deck

@@Laszlo_Vasko if roanin was erratad to a hard once, it would hurt pure frog builds, but would mean sprights would still get the same value out of the toad engine as they always have.

@@hakimdhaou Ronin is the problem card (and a problem in Spright). Substitoad is fine without Ronin.

I used to main Frog Monarchs as back in 2006ish. RIP Ronin.

I think most if not all the "alternate win" cards are balance warnings. Final Countdown, Destiny Board, Holactie, Jackpot 7, and so on are all impractical but have the capability to be practical. So if you ever see these cards make waves in the meta, it means there is a card that is seriously busted.

@@NotSpecialDude I agree for the rest, but Holactie? Konami can't make that card see play even if they wanted do. I mean, look at what lengths they're going to make individual God cards remotely playable. Slifer got a trap version of anime Cards of Sanctity for God's sake.

@@roncerjani9063 Yeah, but if history has taught us anything, Yu gi oh players don't limit themselves to Archetype when it comes to breaking the game. Nightingale caused a ton of FTKs and none of them required using Lyriluscs. And Crystrons have never been relevant but everyone knows of the archtype's Link, Halqifibrax. I'm just saying, Holactie were to become playable. It wouldn't be because the Gods became playable, it would be because a card or combination of cards were made to get around that restriction. Plus on the off chance that an engine can cheat out all three gods in one turn, that would be pretty OP.

@@NotSpecialDude you literally have to bring out all three god cards for Holactie though, seeing as there’s no way to cheat it out(like with a wild monster appears or something)AND it requires that you tribute three monsters who’s ORIGINAL names are those of the three god cards, so sure it is possible, it always has been, but unless they print a card that allows you to summon all three gods in one turn, gives you extra normal summons, AND allows you to search out holactie ALL in one turn, it’ll never be viable as a win condition

@@captainmunchlax4808 holactile is a special summon no need for extra normal summon

I think Nightingale hit is enough. Without broken fusion monster to go to, instan fusion is not that dangerous at 1 or 2

@@danielak1666 You know what I'll agree with that. I actually like Instant as a one of utility card rather than a crutch enabler for combo abuse so seeing it at 1 is honestly fine with me + it is fairly searchable. Nightingale can die in a fire though, copy and paste effects were never an issue until this card showed up.

@@AdamAnouer actually copying monster from grave already a problem since synchro era. Infernity did abuse that kind of trick to mass an advantage and even hand loop. But consistent way to do ftk burn is something else tough

For more context, the ftk was in early 2018. Electrumite was one of about three good Link monsters in the game at that point. Not only did we not have the Knightmares yet, we had only had ONE good Link-focused deck in Spyral. We were more than two years away from Verte

@@danielak1666 Oh you mean One-Hundred Eyed Dragon? Going to be honest I actually forgot about him. I won't disregard what your saying about the FTK burn though that was so hilariously consistent and TBH if even if you couldn't get all the material there was nothing wrong with using 1 SKSV to copy lyrilusc and use it a MASSIVE beater that was unaffected by other card effects and had piercing. I guess what I'm getting at is you're only as good as the cards you're copying. Phantom Of Chaos was pulling this trick off way earlier and I don't recall any such degeneracy with it.

And maybe also "Top 10 Number Monsters"

Rescue Rabbit Adventures part 4!!!!!

@@allmight2679 And at Number 10 we have Number 10: Illumiknight. This is a Rank 4 XYZ monster with...

@@jeromejordanstan4308 | Probably got derailed by a banlist/errata update.

Played this once lost game one to FTK, won game two because Dark Law shuts it down, game 3 yes Ash Blossom.

Oh yes, I lost to that once, i had lots of cards that cuold stop it.... but none of them in hand

Prosperity also help this also

Honestly that should be number one, it doesn't rely on broken banned stuff and is actually very consistent (assuming they don't stop it)

made in DUEL LINKS, FTK/OTK with "Hayabusa Knight" and "Armed Samurai Ben Kei". I thought; "hey, Links has only 4000LP, time for some beat down FTK/OTK's. I was right, i reached LEGEND Rank, with classic deck. Only newer cards were Drowning Mirror Force and Power Of The Guardians. Hayabusa Knight + Axe Of Despair = GAME (lot of times, opponents dont play a card in their opening turn, i use that opportunity) Either Ben Kei or Hayabusa, i have both in my deck. I only use 2 cards with Hayabusa, i broke record by finishing the duel by battle, also with exact damage. 2 times 2000 ATK. Fastest duel took 10- 15 seconds. Opponent ends turn after 4 or 5 seconds. I summon Hayabusa, equip Axe and 2 ataks. Done !!

drawing the 5 cards you need in a deck of 40 is more like 1 in 13. You don't need to draw them in order.

1st card drawn must be one of five cards. Odds are 5/40, or 1/8. 2nd card drawn must be one of four cards. Odds are 4/39. 3rd card odds: 3/38 4th card: 2/37 Last card: 1/36 (1/8) * (4/39) * (3/38) * (2/37) * (1/36) = 0.00000152, or 1/658,008

Lanphin is talking about turn zero, though. The initial five cards before the first draw phase (wherein nobody draws anything) even happens. With the right deck and hand, even if you get Ash Blossom'd, drawing all five Exodia cards is a guarantee.

It's still the ztk with the highest chance of happening, all other ztks require your opponent to do specific things, most notably, Jackpot 7s ztk (due to being the only ztk to appear in the anime/spin-offs)

Yami yugi : i belive in the heart of the cards, I DRAW ( drawing all 5 exodia cards)

I think Mayakashi FTK too

Yeah, the fact that Witch and Sangan worked when sent from hand to gy just made the '99 Exodia deck a certified funny deck

Don't forget how stupidly broken Last Will was. Special summon a monster every time a monster on your field is sent to the GY during that turn. Sangan/Witch + Cannon Soldier on field + Last Will = FTK.

Super early Konami OCG was wild without a banlist. Even with all of that monsters with 900 attack were premium monsters you had to run after they introduced Tribute Summon.

@@IyoMaestro The Last Will debacle was based on some judges ruling it to be as many times as you wanted in a turn when active vs. the clearly intended once. It's pretty clear that they should have been more specific when they first printed it, I can see it being interpreted both ways, hence the fact that some judges said as many times per turn as you meet the condition and only once in the turn.

@@EinSilverRose I believe they had started having a limited list by the time of Exodia FTK. But the format was really crazy.

It wasn't really a FTK but an OTK. You would battle and during mp2 burn your opponent by tributing every monster you had for game

@@dragonmaster951753 Ah yes that's right. Back during an era when games normally lasted 10-20 turns it felt like an FTK :)

@@davidagosta Games still didn't last that long back then... but pre-errata Dark Strike Fighter ended games fast.

@@ShiningJudgment666 imagine dark strike in frog FTK lol

@@michaelvalentinoyo1259 It would be unneeded anyway. Mass Driver was legal and all you needed was the seemingly endless and easy tribute fodder from the combination of Substitoad and Ronin Toadin and a deck loaded with Frogs. The deck was cheap both in price and in play.

At this point, I think Magical Scientist FTK would be the meta now that a lot of other cards have gotten errata’d (like Makyura and Exchange of Spirit). He’s easy enough to summon from deck now and there’s a few cards that can abuse all the stuff he brings out. As the draw spells would still be at 1 and the discard spells would be legal, exodia really wouldn’t be any good

Since it relies on traps, i fell it's more of a "1½TK"

Its not consistent and needs a few turns if you brick, especially with traps that can be blown easily. It deals good damage when you manage it but being a trap made it easy to deal with it.

~DTK's Cant rely on Traps that are only live once you end your turn as in you cannot actually execute the strat unti lthe opponent ca nstart their turns proper menaing they a lot more power to stop it.

@@Teixas666 Gift Card, Bad Reaction of Simochi and that card that randomly deals 2k in a coin toss is usually the centerpiece of this combo. 3k x3 and 2k x3 then 3 copies of Simochi, then draw cards. Even then you will most likely to brick and not get Simochi, Makurya, or enough burn damage to finish your opponent. Thats not even including being second, negates, and facedown cards being destroyed, Simochi being destroyed ruins this combo easily. For you to win on your first turn you need to have 3 Gift Cards, 1 Simochi, 2 that coin toss 2k card all in your hand, Makurya or enough draw power to get all pieces. Getting the Adventurer engine is a must here to last at least a few turns to draw the necesarry cards, Temple of the Kings can win games if you failed on your first turn and Lord of Heavenly Prison protects backrow so he is a must.

@@Teixas666 So yep, its bad as an FTK deck but a good burn deck nonetheless.

It's surprising how long Tempest Magician FTK can win competitions in OCG until it's banned.

Tempest Magician was a card that was a ban waiting to happen...

Technically there was exactly 1 fusion monster with 2200 ATK that was released before Magical Scientist was banned, and that was Dark Flare Knight.

@@patrickmangels9171 I said "when the FTK was first possible" for a reason. The FTK was achievable without Dark Flare Knight. And if we are counting DFK, then tributing Scientist at the end isn't even necessary, so the statement is inconsistent regardless (not to mention DFK gives us only 3 fodder at 2200+ at the time).

That's basically how it works and it was super consistent.

While the FTK was very powerful, it unfortunately was never legal in the TCG because Makyura the Destructor was banned before Exchange of the Spirit was released.

Frist Trun Klil!!

I can’t believe DuelLogs would do this 😔😣

New list idea top 10 duellogs bloopers

It’s for flavor.

Even the Duel Logs is writing first so fast he got it wrong. Comment section moment.

My favorite is exodia incarnate. It has a ton of awesome effects including being immune to any card which affects it directly (ex, destroy all, target X, etc). It can only be special summoned by sacrificing a piece of exodia, starts at 0 attack points and gains 1000 attack points per piece of exodia in the graveyard. At the end of each turn, you return 1 piece of exodia from the graveyard to your hand. Funnily enough, while it does not "directly" benefit from cards, due to being unaffected, you can do things to target its battle phase such as equip cards, field cards, etc and likely other aspects of the card such as "owner chooses 1 card and adds attack" which i've seen affect it with "owner must destroy" etc

Gem knight gang rise up

Level resist wall/sound the retreat ?

@@rodlurks66 That's one variation, yes.

its just a reskinned Frog ftk.

Top Ten Table 500 decks? lmao

@@mist666999 I'd definitely watch that! 😂

There are a pair of cards - Makura the Destructor & Temple of the Kings - which let you, once during the turn they are activated, activate a trap card from hand/the turn it was set. I vaguely remember encountering a more modern card like those two recently-ish, but can't remember its name if it exists.

@@delta3244 Ah Temple of the kings, that's the one I was trying to remember! Makyura had come to mind, but I discarded the idea - having not wanted to review it's effect post errata to see if he'd still work, plus having to use the normal summon that way.

i prefer bone tower mayakashi, but magician's are also awesome at otk/ftking the opponet

Pure evil...I like it

It would be more interesting if it could do that 45% of the time but after being Handtrapped twice

@@simonpetrikov3992 It can tbh, in the version of gem-ftk that I play, I utilize the punk engine heavily as it helps to make garden rose maiden which searches black garden, which makes up the core of the ftk. As an added bonus, the Punk engine allows me to go into an omega (formally the chaos ruler RIP) which allows me to potentially rip a ht. As well as this, I may choose to go into a photon lord which allows me to make a monster negate to stop any stray ht that may come my way. Similarly, before halq and chaos ruler bans, I'd make an apo. As well as this, gamma and imperm don't really hurt the deck as the opponent will control a monster thanks to the effect of black garden, and dd crow doesn't do enough against the deck to have any real impact. Main ht to watch out for are nib, ash, veiler and belle (potentially droll as well if you didn't just draw the cards you needed to search). Overall though, even if they did draw one ht you can normally play through it. Also, tear plays no ht other than havenis. So basically free wins if you go first and they don't have it or they miss their mills, especially since they now control a monster.
