"There are no other ways for a level 2 or lower monster to reliably destroy monsters in battle" *Card artwork shows one of the most beatdowny beatdown decks ever
I know. It's hilarious. It's easy to get King out and it's attack really high. It's so obvious that, like the other person said, it's literally on the artwork.
5:30 Fun fact: the anime version of this card is actually pretty decent, you just need to have two or more "Blackwing" monsters on the field in order to draw 2 cards, no need to tribute, banish or being specific tuner Blackwing monsters
I've never drawn with Bubbleman and I've tried since it was first released. That draw 2 is why I even started playing HERO decks. The special summon is the only reason I bothered with the card for a while, but then better options came out and now if I use Bubbleman, then it is solely because I felt like running an anime Jaden/Judai deck for the fun of it.
Bubbleman is a bit of an odd case. It has one of the worst draw 2 effects, but as a card itself it was kinda decent a few years ago. You could just set all the spell cards from your hand to empty it out and get an easy bubbleman for a free level 4 water hero, which you could then use for xyz plays or mask change. So yeah it's one of the worst draw 2 effects, but that effect is on a somewhat decent card, so at least it's not one of the worst cards that can draw you 2 cards.
Says there's only those three strategies to get Pride of the Weak's effect off. Card artwork literally shows a Level 1 monster who can easily get incredibly high attack.
I mean, Meklords weren't too bad back when Synchros and Fusions were the only ED monsters. Not competitive, but kinda like what PSY-Frame is now, a deck that relied on your opponent's deck/plays, but it was pretty good because chances are your opponent would be making those plays.
That moment when you want to draw 2 cards of off Royal Firestorm Guard, but your opponent Call by the Graves your Scattershot and you have no new support to protect you :( Feels bad man... Day 184 of waiting for new Volcanic support to arrive
I'm waiting for Saber support, but I agree full heartily. Volcanic is a fun deck, but Pyro monsters as a whole have next to no support. Heck. I think that it is the only type to not have a support field spell.
Blackboost is actually one of the strongest draw cards in the anime, as well as Cards for Black Feathers. In the anime, you discard one card for Cards of Black Feather’s activation cost, then you draw two cards. In the anime, black boots just requires you to control 2 Blackwing monsters for the activation condition, then you draw two.
It is always a positive thing to correct the English of other people , particularly if it's evident it's not their first language. Such as my case. I'm not Russian, btw, just wanted to post a Broken English funny reply, but I believe the lesson here, if there is a lesson to learn at all, is that one should find a delicate balance between being tolerant and a grammar Nazi.
I just wish it said discard 3 or more instead of 5, or even 4 so it isnt a brick 1st turn. Idk how but I'm going to find a way to take advantage of this card 😅 I'll do it as a fun little challenge.
I remember using Gold Moon Coin in a fun meme suicide deck ounce. The decks goal was to put all the pieces of Exodia in your opponents had for some lulz.
@@phoenixgemini42 not really? It can help get some cards and can help with setup. Cards for black feathers may hurt with the lack of special summoning, but you dont have to always special summon with a blackwing deck
there was a card in the anime called "Pendulum Card Burst", where you destroy two face up Pendulum monsters to draw two cards, which is genuinely pretty good considering how easy it is to get two pendulum monsters on the field, and they also go to the extra deck allowing for more pendulum summoning.
13:03 I only got back into yugioh 2months ago but I have a feeling that if Ally Soldier could tribute dark type genex monsters it would be absolutely busted 1, normal/special summon Ally Soldier 2, use machine duplication to summon 2more from the deck 3, use the effects of the 3Ally Soldiers you control to have them send themself to the graveyard and draw 6cards going +4
@@OnEiNsAnEmOtHeRfUcKa mine is obvious no ? He took it less dangerous if it were a dark attribute and since it is not a HOPT it would be definitely banned since it would be abused ...
Guarded Treasure can be amazing in an Exodia Deck, especially coupled with three Heart of the Underdog. By filling your deck with tons of Normal monsters, you'll often find yourself with a dozen cards in your hand at the start of each of your turns.
It can be useful but with pendulum and link cards your opponent still gets more options at their disposal. There is also a better selection of draw spells out there, especially if you are going pure exodia and not using much of the extra deck.
I could see it working well with Forced Requisition too. You'd force your opponent to discard 5 cards as well and they don't get to draw giving you immediate advantage
But in those decks you typically want to run only heart of the underdog and normal pendulum monsters. The more chances you have to hit a non normal monster the worse the strategy is.
hey dude, i'm quite early so let's say it : thank you so much for your videos, i've been watching your videos for a very long time, and you're the only yugioh youtuber i've ever watched regularly. so yea, thank you for making me stick to this wonderful game! much love
He has a discord I recommend you check out. Sadly he only ever gives out the link to it during live streams, which he doesn't do that often, but there's a lot of cool people there
@@ninjacell2999 lmao he literally says the name of the game in the video. And yeah I agree with this comment entirely, duellogs is the only yugituber I watch and have watched for at least a year
My favorite terrible draw 2 card is “D/D Pandora” She’s a monster with the effect to let you draw 2 cards when destroyed by the opponent, provided you control no other cards. The first problem is that she’s level 5... meaning there’s no way to get her onto the field turn 1 save pendulum summon... but if you pendulum summon her, then you have scales on the field, so unless you bounce or destroy them immediately afterward, you won’t get her effect. It’s just such an amazingly terrible card design that I can’t help but love it.
Gold Moon Coin sounds like it can be really fun to use. I'd love to give Localized Tornado just to see the look on someone's face when they read it and realize I actually put it in my deck.
It's one of those cards that, along with Cup of Ace, I like to give characters whose decks are supposed to be made up of thrown away cards. Like Yusei's only more believable as I don't give them Synchros requiring specific tuners and said tuners and instead just meh generic ones. Just the idea of them activating it, the opponent seeing the cards and thinking "kid, can you even afford food" is both amusing and sad. Shame I never bother to get past the earliest of design stages with them despite knowing fully well where I would take a story with them.
I know what the card does, but you say "cards you don't want in your hand" and drop that synchro on the screen without explaining that "combo with the right light monster".
He does this sometimes... XD... showing cards without explanation because we are supposed to know all the context... I know is a lot of trouble to explain everything but a good amount of people watch videos to learn... Please try to explain the things you show on the video, that's all...
Please consider make a top of number of cards that an archtype has. For example, Blue-Eyes has a lot of cards in its archetype; but I don't know how many cards are in other archtypes "chess archfield, cyber-angel, skull servant, red eyes black dragon, etc".
"Other than those three strategies, there aren't really other ways for a level two or lower monsters to reliably destroy things by battle" Man, as a Restrict player that hurts. One because he forgot, but two because he's still basically right
Well ya, everyone knows that it summons two 'Coin Tokens (Rock-Type/DARK/Level 3/ ATK 500/ DEF 500)' to your opponent's side of the field in defense position with the effect "If this card is destroyed, your opponent draws one card."
The Guarded Treasure card looks like it can work on a Salamangreat deck, as it could help the player bring the monsters sent to the graveyard by the use of their own effects (foxy by destroying a spell or trap the opponent controls, spinny when theres a salamangreat on the field aside itself, foxer by special summoning itself after foxys effect, jack jaguars shuffle effect)
Can we just admit guarded treasure is one of the most broken ones on this list, you get 4 cards you want in your GY and you can spam the effects like crazy
If it were Quick-Play, Gold Moon Coin could be a good counter to Infernity Monsters, who's effects are usually only able to be used if the user has no cards in their hand
In defense of blackboost. It seems like the effect is meant to interupt your opponents disruption so that you can mitigate the loss of your tuner monsters. Hence it being a trap. Basically it turns a -2 situation into a -1 situation. It's still bad obviously since it's better to utilize those cards but still slightly better than what they were made out to be
I honestly think that Gold Moon Coin can work in certain decks, such as Timelord decks, that rely on getting through their deck ASAP to draw cards that they need (in the case of Timelords, Empty Machine) and won't mind their opponent having some of their cards (in the case of Timelords, the TImelords are good when the decks is built to accomodate them. If you give your opponent a Timelord, it might not be very good for them).
Drawing is cheap in yugioh now.. Adding is more useful now this era 5 cards on first turn Ending his turn with 8 cards on the field 5 cards in hand 😅😅😀😁
I feel like guarded treasure is even worse nowadays since its discard 5 is a cost, which means if it gets an ash blossom which I see in every deck I've faced off against you will just have an empty hand and would be way more of an oof than desires being negated 😂
Actually tried to ran gold moon coin in Dark World deck to give cards like hand destruction, card destruction, dark world dealing. Result was absolutely terrible
honestly i love your videos man cuz you always try to rationalise a card before slamming it. but you really missed the use of gold moon coin by a long shot. all the other cards here are pretty terrible. but GMB is actaully pretty good
Worst Card period for BW is easily, Blackwing Aurora the Northern lights. A Level 10 maindeck monster, that has an incomprehensibly bad effect and is a LIGHT monster of all things. Best card is a tie between Gale the whirlwind or Black whirlwind itself.
Guarded treasure should not have been a continuous spell card but rather a normal spell card that applies the effect of drawing 2 cards for your normal draw for the rest of the duel
Regarding Pride of the Weak, my favourite deck back in the day was my Wetlands deck. It was SO easy to get a beatstick with a Wetlands set-up and many fell prey to my deck. The first time I play it though. If used in succession not really that great
2;28 Electric Snake was a decent side-deck option in late 2002 till early 2003. It got outclassed in early 2003 and never saw any serious play beyond some mild experimentation.
It is nice to see a video about "bad" cards were the person don't just say "the card is bad you should never use it", but actually explain why the card is bad and situation were it might be useful.
That bit is actually one of the few times RU-vid is doing shit properly, it doesn't count a view as a view until you watch enough of a video. On a video that was about one minute old (as it was when you posted your comment) there was literally not enough time to have watched enough of the video to count as "a view", whereas you can hit the like button at any time. Also the view count doesn't update unless you manually reload, and right now I'm seeing 211 views.
I think Greed Grado is actually quite good, although very niche. If there ever is a meta with a few high tier decks that focus on synchro summoning, I think Greed Grado would be a really god side deck option, as you naturally destroy your opponents monsters in order to win the game. So getting a Pot of Greed without needing set up is really good. Obviously the current meta is dominated by Link monsters and to a lesser extend Xyz monster, but still, in a specific scenario it could just be a Pot of Greed. Thats why I dont think it is deserving of the Nr 1 spot, more like the number 10
Card of Sanctity makes you banish every card in your hand and on your field to draw 2 cards. Red Dragons vase lets you draw 2 if you have red dragon archfiend on the field, but you can’t normal summon or special summon until after your opponents next turn. There’s one trap card I forget what it’s called, but it’s like if you’re opponent has 2000 or less lp, make their lp 8000 and then draw 2 cards.
The video is great, as usual. And the list is very well put together. But I have to admit I'm suprised "Elemental HERO Bubbleman" didn't make it into the list, considering its restrictions.
Red Dragon Vase Requires you to have a "Red Dragon Archfiend". But you are not allowed to Normal or Special Summon the turn you activate it. So you must summon RDA, protect it for a turn, activate Red Dragon Vase and then protect RDA for another turn before being allowed to do anything with it.
Gold Moon Coin seems very useful for Exodia suicide decks. You can give your opponent two pieces while going pseudo +1. Then the remaining 3 pieces can be Exchanged across for game. The only problem is the requirement to draw 2, so you can't use this if it's on the bottom of your deck. Daigusto Emeral can salvage the situation, but you'd essentially need a Broww engine to have enough monsters in the grave, and that might be a bit too clumsy.
as for the level 2 or lower beatdown: frogs and skull servant came into my mind as pretty good strategies especially skull servant also I could see guarded treasure be played in an infernity deck. those decks want their hand empty and got a lot of good graveyard effects or cards that can revive/use other cards from your graveyard while your hand is empty. You basically set up your graveyard, can most likely get rid of / use the 2 cards you just drew and are guaranteed to draw 2 cards every turn. In my opinion it sounds pretty good, I have been playing infernity for some time, but this would need some testing. It doesnt sound as bad as it seems at first glance
Funny thing is replace "destroy synchro monster" with "any extra deck monster besides fusion, synchro, or xyz" (which at the moment is only link monster) then it would be really good.
Actually when synchro was s major thing the #1 card on the list ACTUALLY would have seen play. Namely as it was a lot more common and easier to do it. Most likely only as 1 one of in decks but it would have seen play. Also remember at that time there was no restrictions on getting out multiple extra deck monsters so you could synchro to your hearts content.
Guarded Treasure is actually scary when I use it with Darkworld, Danger, Kuriboh and a few other hand traps for a deck as my opponent sees me get rid of 5 cards to obtain a new hand through my discard combos and still chaining my new hand full of monsters for a ftk field on top of that getting 3 negates before my opponents turn on top of that if I go first be very afraid of treasure. Mates it will give the toughest of competitive decks a run for the there money as long as special summon is not stopped because I don't have room for a evenly matched in the deck
Pride of the weak is also used sometimes in odd eyes decks where you empty your hand while pendulum summoning and then use it while you have p.odd eyes synchron to change the level of an odd eyes monster to 1
So many people annoyed that he forgot Skull Servants when talking about Pride of the Weak and I am laughing that he showed a synchro monster when suggesting giving your opponent bad cards via Gold Moon Coin.
The reason is that the monster shown has an effect to discard any light monsters in their hand and inflict damage equal to their attack if they control a light monster
Genex Ally Solid is very much playable now thanks to Spright. Its a great idea, its in-engine and I’ve virtually heard no one talked about it Just 1 Genex Ally Solid in main deck and 1 Reprodocus in extra deck for an almost effortless draw 2 with low investment cost
