Top 10 Strong Cards That Rarely See Play in YuGiOh 

TheDueLogs: *Releases this video* Me: *Adjusts my deck accordingly*

Ah, Gorz, the reason older players still attack directly in ascending attack power order.

So, basically, a trap saying „you win the game“ isn’t played - because you have to wait 1 turn and it’s not immune to being negated. Insane.

If preparation of rite is released in Duel Links, tier 0

How about a Top 10 video like this but the opposite: Top 10 bad cards that see a lot of play in Yu-Gi-Oh!

The artwork for pre-preparation of rites is so freaking cute. Look at how much food that little monster got! I hope those cultists aren't planning anything nefarious and are just happy that their little buddy gets a good meal.

Oh, Grand Mole, the bane of the Fusion summon era. It broke my heart when they limited it.

You forgot quaking mirror force. That card was also pretty good for stalling, before link monsters completely shredded it lol

Volcanic Doomfire is a strong boss monster; ...he just needs an easier summoning condition.....and a way to protect himself....and deal with monsters who have over 3000 atk....but he is a strong monster. Day 265 of waiting for new Volcanic support to arrive

A lot of these are just outdated by newer, more versatile versions and the rest just don't have decks to use them to their full potential.

If witch's strike was a quick play spell. It would be a 100 dollar card easily. No debate

22:12 Ash Blossom doesn’t trigger Witch’s Strike; it only negates the effect, not the activation.

I really appreciate that you talk about the dates, card history and the bigger picture element of yugioh.

Top 10 cards you wouldn't like to encounter in a dark alley #10: Twin Long Rods.

Jerry beans man

How about Top 10 XYZ monsters? If that hasn't been made already :)

So, basically what I'm getting is: in 2017, yugioh powercreep accelerated exponentially.

Every video i watch like this just makes me glad i stopped playing yugioh in 2015. Seems like since around 2017 everything has gone off the rails.

Fun fact, people also dont use fiendish chain because if you can chain an effect that banishes or destroy the targeted monster and then bring him back (i.e. stardust dragon own effect) fiendish chain stays on the field doing absolutely nothing

you're the best ygo channel .period.

I'm surprised Starlight Road isn't on this list.

Just dropping through to say that the fact trap cards aren't viable because games don't last more than 2 turns should tell you everything you need to know about the state of this game.

All of these are cards you regularly would see in school

Honest and Trickstar are funny, cause a Trickster would never be Honest !!! LOL the sarcastic irony here is GOLD !!!

Honest has saved my cyber dragon deck so many times

DuelLogs: Life points don't matter Also DuelLogs: Life points are how you win games Me: ok

I'm glad to be one of the 27%, Duellogs. Keep up the awesome videos. Here's a countdown idea, Top 10 unique archetype mechanics or Top 10 cards that change the rules.

I remembered using all three honest at once using cyber Angel's while facing gren maju opponents reaction was priceless 😂😂

your rekindling one had me laughing. you went into this long explanation of inter-card relationships when it boiled down to: infernoids dont have many monsters that rekindling is good with

Watched till #2 and i'm calling it now. Snake rain is #1 Edit: WHAT??? IM DISAPPOINTED

Even after I eventually cut it, I still adore Supply Squad. Definitely my all time favorite "win-more card" in Yugioh. It was literally a free plus per copy every turn on my Scrap Dino deck.

What about a video about cards that if they were launched at a previous format they would break the game? For example a card from the synchro era that could be extremely overpowered at the goat format.

Witch's Strike, if it was a counter like the solemn cards, it would be used way more often.

Pre Preparation of Rites is one of the most valuable cards in my Relinquished deck. And there are other decent targets. Garlandolf the King of Destruction, Demise King of Armageddon for a couple examples.

Witches strike cannot be activated against hand traps like ash blossom. Witches strike has to be activated after an ACTIVATION was negated, not an EFFECT, so only certain hand traps trigger witches strike, or solemn cards.

Seeing Benten in 2019: I never met this man in my life. Seeing BEnten in 2021: (chuckles), I am in danger

I miss slow duels that aren't relying on stall decjs

Wait there’s a card called “there can be only one” and it’s not a highlander reference?! The hell, Konami?

"When a deck comes out that destroys itself" as if rokkets didnt just get a structure deck

I use Pre-Prep of Rights all the time in my End of World.

Blazing mirror force would be insane in a D/D/D deck if you got out D’Arc

I remember once a long time ago I beat a chain burn player in tournament with gorz's burn effect. The good old days

Top 10 Card Waifus that Rarely see play in Yugioh

Eater of Millions is not a better Grand Mole. The two cards have similar applications, but they are different enough that I'd say both are equally viable. Also Grand Mole has no downside whereas for Eater of Millions you have to banish 5 cards to summon him. Mole can be used to bounce back problematic extra deck monsters, then saved in the hand for later when you need him again. Eater on the other hand is easier to get rid of in the short term, and is mainly only good to get rid of one or two problematic cards. Also mole is level 3 which makes allows him to go into better Xyz monsters. That said eater is dark type which is better, though it also has more counters than mole. I run 3 copies of Honest in my Blue-Eyes deck, and it's extremely effective. Royal Decree is still better than Red Reboot in decks that run zero traps, also I think RR is limited now, that said if I was gonna run RR I'd also run Trap Stun. I'd never run Burning Mirror Force unless I'm also running Barrel Behind the Door (or something similar). I used to run Dice Jar with Barrel Behind the Door, but the problem was I never got Barrel when I needed it so I dropped both cards. Play Witch's Strike with Waking the Dragon and mind game you're opponent. xD

These are probably some of my favorite youtube videos to watch and I’ve never played competitively in the slightest. I just started playing duel links and really got into this channel

Kinda funny that Witch's Strike is even in the same lore as the Solemn Cards.

Supply Squad:" Needs good deck to play it" Machina: "hey"

Be careful about saying witch’s strike can proc off of hand traps. The most common one, ash, cannot proc witch’s strike

8:27 actually the rocket deck suits perfectly for this card since in the rocket archetype there a lot of cards that can let you destroy your monsters

The other thing I noticed with grand mole is that it’s useful to get around “cannot be targeted or destroyed by card effects” protection. But I’ve noticed that this kind of protection is being replaced with the better protection of “unaffected by card effects.” Grand mole is useless against that kind of protection.

honest + BLS used to be one of my favourite “combos”

21:57 'One of the guys' It's God lol

I tested Pre-Preperation of Rites with Fortress Whale in my Neo-Daedalus with Mermail/Atlanteans Deck and the instant level 7 water grab was great for Mermail XYZ combos. Fun stuff and well made video!

"Blazing mirror force" can be OP in in combo with "DDD oracle king darc"

Grand Mole is good with returning your own monster kaijiu, lava golem, etc to be use again

I've been marathoning your vids for weeks and just noticed I wasn't subscribed lol

4:35 I haven't kept up with the Yu-Gi-Oh meta... well, ever - just the ban lists really. But I remember a time when Demise, King of Armageddon seemed like one of the most powerful cards in the entire game... so a card that searches out End of the World *and* Demise King of Armageddon just seems absurd to me. Then again, I fell out of modern Yu-Gi-Oh! at the end of the 5Ds era - I suppose that was about when individual card effects generally started seeming way too ridiculous in power to me. EDIT: Every now and then I look at nearly any given modern Yu-Gi-Oh card and think "Back in my day this would've been Banned!" XD

Top 10 Ritual Monster Cards or Top 10 Equipment spell card? Love your videos

Can you do the "Top 10 reasons why I should not kill myself" please

"Witch's Strike" effect is really toxic but also healthy (because it punishes toxic play styles that negate everything). I wish it was a counter trap card allowing self-activation from hand with some cost (like "Red Reboot"). Sorry for so greedy 😅

When his first strong card that doenst see play is one of the most played cards in duel links today

8:09 Scraps were competitive!?!?! I really like the archetype and didn't know they were more than a rogue deck

I can see the majority of these cards being in duel links very soon

Supply squad could work in an unchained deck.

Thank you for explaining the reasons why these cards no longer see play. After a 3 or so year hiatus, watching this was enlightening.

The classic Royal Decree... Classic Trap look weak now.

That painful moment when Dryton Cyber Angel is meta

Ah yes, these cards are all indeed still very stronk.

5:24 grand mole was the first ygo monster limited before it was released.

Pre-prep is a really good card with nouvellas deck and it's kinda on theme too!

Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Rule 5: All Trap cards can be activated from the hand.

Unending Nightmare is top 20 easy. Maybe top 10 worthy. And Honoust= a ninja. A funsapping one..

grand mole is why i love abyss soldier. Bouncing cards is so good especially the extra deck. Granted abyss soldier is only water but its amazing in water. The discard cost is easily negated by sinister serpent (even after erreta) treeborn frog, or atlanteans, whale, dragon ice etc all which love being discarded.

I remember Gorz in a Jaden's deck for Dark Fusion.

Have you done a Top 10 monsters with Zero attack?

Witch's strike can be searched and chained with traptrick so it should see play in the future. Just one of those one support card away from broken (makyura)

I love your videos your one of my top RU-vidrs I watch. Keep up the great content

A few time lords beat out grand mole in terms of superior yet similar effects

No Snake Rain, no view😤

All blue eye tuners should be limited 2. Too much backup... no fun for opponent in any format.

Me: after this vid fixing deck to have more plot armor

Can you make a top 10 cards video of why my dad left me when I was 5yrs old?

Grand Mole best Neo Specian. Aqua Dolphin good hand trap removal Rest of Neo Specians are terrible especially Glow Mos lmao

They really need to make ritual archetype that all of it spells can generically bring out its monsters, but list a specific monster to cause a bonus effect to occur if used to summon that particular card.

Pre-Prep can definitely work in Magicians of Chaos. I use it alongside the Impcantations and it’s insanely easy to summon out rituals.

Man preparation of rites was so underrated before Dytron

Your top 10 are so good... so much details! Good job!!

I use Grandmole in my Kaiju Deck. I pissed a lot of people off.

"Top 10 cards that special summon during the battle phase"😁

Damn, now I know why I suck at Yu-Gi-Oh. I run Witch's Strike in pretty much every deck I make, and it's just too slow.

There’s a name for this...... it’s called power creep

So basically cards that are slow are no use anymore and I am still suck in the OG era

I use pre-prep I'm my relinquished millennium eyes deck

Supply Squad works well with Rokket decks, but the problem is that "Supply Squad" loses to "Squib Draw", and that is because Squib Draw gives a +2 and it is a Quick Play Spell Card, and that gives a powerful advantage I think I am going to put 1 copy of "Supply Squad" in my side deck. Just in case...

If I'm honest, Honest is my favourite card. Basically if I was Yu-Gi-Oh protagnist Honest would be my Kuriboh if you understand

I very strongly remember GORZ due to Canada not having access to him when he came out in that $10 pack, so my shop would run boxes over to events in QC/ON. Almost everyone in Quebec ran him back then he was so sought after.

Damn, watching the day after I ordered cards

I'm actually pretty lucky because I have tons of witch's strike😎
