Why the Dragon Rulers Must Stay Banned 

Understandable

Idk. People have tested what these cards could do in link format. I don't think it's any worse than the meta we have now. Besides... things like dark synchros, brilliant plant link SPAM, have done worse "degenerative plays" than this deck could ever do in link format. It just doesn't make sense to have a deck like this not go when we have handtraps, solems, untargetable effects to deal with it now. I say let them all come back at three to test the waters. Along with construct and inzectors. They just wont do ANYTHING

dzeeff Can you do a yugioh explained on Crystrons? I feel that too many people sleep on the deck . However, not only did it get the new link, the deck isn't really affected by links and has a lot of disruption.

WHY DON'T YOU STAY BANNED INSTEAD?

dzeeff you should make a video on Alien/Cthulhu deck.

Haha you made my day

Seriously they do have awesome art

0uryuken true

lmao “spellbook of judgment” was complete tyranny

I never got to play with them. I just want a chance!

Rain Forest Whitaker I remember one of the most tense games I ever had, playing against Dragon Rulers in their prime with my Worm deck. It was neck and neck the whole time, and had I not made the wrong move and let them open up I might've won. One of my favorite battles just because I was keeping toe-to-toe against a T-1/0 deck with worms.

Dragon Ruler was probably the fairest T0 Deck of all time. They didnt Stop you from playing or ftk you, like typical T0. They we're just insane Powerfull. You had a small Chance of winning. And when you pull it off without Spellbook or The Anti high lv Deck you felled like you are Yugi himself. I did trolled tryhard/Scrubs Dragon Ruler Player in DN Back then with a Rank 5 Anti Ruler (without Vanity) Deck. Basically i just did make Volcasaurus into gaia for ca 5000 DMG. The Rest of the Duel i did 3000 DMG and survive xD Worked every time. But looking into they GY and hand and misplays i know a good Player would crushed me.

Expectation: Dragon Rulers coming back would just be another linkspam.dek, they have been powercreeped enough to be let free again Reality: 1 Tempest was enough to generate 3 different ways to FTK you consistently in today's meta.

My most intense and fun match ever was against D Rulers.

There should be a boss mode with them and super powerfull cards

Get rid of the banlist and make other decks more powerful that seems fair

yea and than just completely forget about all those cards and play turbo exodia and draw into prohibition and dfiss!

Declin Suridge if they get rod of the banlist there will be no variety bc exodia is the best and most consistent deck of all time

I think it had something to do with handloops. I think Gustkraken got limited before it even came out in the TCG, correct me if Im wrong.

yeah that's correct. Evigishki Gustkraken was limited before it was even ported to the TCG that's why only a few remembers it. but in case you didn't know, its loop is to return all the opponents hand cards to their deck first turn. mind augus also reset the graveyard by spamming it multiple times in a turn. and the combo is very consistent because Preparation of Rites is at three and Gishki have two to three searchers on its archetype.

TheDuelLogs im sure it was intended.

id say they are both t-0 even with them both out

We need judgment back!!!

Well you might see the occasional evilswarm player get lucky and them not having the fire one in hand to pop ophion.

Metaknight145 that doesnt stop a deck from being tier 0

Bro, I know, Im watching this video in 2019 and my mind is blown that it's been so long.

HoKogan you will never guess what its status is now

7 now

Damn time flies

Me, who hasn't touched the franchise since 2005: hm this Stardust Dragon thing looks pretty strong

git gud lol

That's not that ridiculous to be honest. Git gud

That was cool

ok boomer

Nothing says "true but I'm not capable of refuting this" like "jIt JuD".

Nothings changed lmao

@@MrMcPoppetshow1 would it count as a dragon ruler?

@@shis1988 meh, we will see

Idk man Tempest is 1 card FTK

Yeaaaa, but after seeing the lone Dragon Ruler being part of the infamous Gandora FTK in the OCG, doesn’t look like they should bring any more back- or at all period to the TCG

Facts

Wonthangsoop no all infernity players set monsters in The spell/trap zone XD

It was because as long as you had no cards in your hand and copied a good infernity deck the deck played itself noobs don't build up hands when they get a good field so it's perfect for them

They are really annoying

so....you hate D/D/D then

@@michaelfox5281 to say Infernity is for noobs... gotta have some balls to say that. It's no Nekroz or Six Sams. But Jesus... easy? A deck which requires you to have no cards? Just because people know how to deckbuild and use it and it's broken, it's easy. Bollocks, dude!

The Eclipse Wyvern and Beelze plays were so much fun!

You're not the only one

@@joshuasinclair1154 *You're not...

@@HaHaHaHolowence I don't get it

@@joshuasinclair1154 That was a correction, not an incomplete statement.

bugboy1014 I'd love to see the chaos of that. And I do wonder what would top out of all of that.

An Exodia deck that could ftk with 100% consistency probably.

MAKYURA EXODIA FTK 100% DECK YES. then it's basically gambling who goes 1st lmao if you banned the ftk builds, I would imagine nekroz/dragon ruler/pepe format(but Pepe got bashed by the new link mechanic)

Exodia would be scary but people are going to side Ash Blossoms and Droll&Lock to stop Exodia game 2 and 3 so other powerful decks are going to otk it a lot too.

bugboy1014 It would literally be all ftks.

Yu-GI-Oh has become pretty ridiculous in the last 2 or 3 years... PePe decks were such a fuck up on Konami's end. The newer deck completely bury anything else b4 them, like Nekroz, Shaddolls, PePe, and even Burning Abyss. The SPYRAL decks are even worse tbh.

Any deck can otk u now lop

IF you go secondth, most of the time its waiting for 30 mins or so in which you just leave

Jack Casey you see that’s what everyone thought was gonna happen after they went to 1, they just stayed being their own deck

My idea was to rotate them so that only one Dragon Ruler would be legal at a time. So first Mermail gets Tidal back for three months, then Tidal is rebanned and Harpies can use Tempest, and so on. So the Ruler deck will never be a thing, but they will come back every once in a while.

James Zetterman + But then they can’t fight each other. That’s no fun.

It'd just have to be a built in rule. "You can only have 1 Dragon Ruler in your main deck."

E E hell yeah there are so many decks I’d splash redox into

Lol if there isn't a judge, there isn't a ban list, that's my motto

I stopped paying attention to yugioh for about 6 years but I really need to know what deck PePe refers to

NightClubSamurai the deck Performapal Pendulums they were legit a tier 0

NightClubSamurai lel zoodiac and dragon rulers and nekroz are shit compared to pepe especially drulers and zoodiacs nekroz has a chance of winning but the rest is shit

Let's not just talk out of our asses and remember that PePe would inherently suffer from Master Rule 4.

Alcatraz just the plays in general with link summoning(imagine using tomahawk and dracosack uggggghhhhh I think i just came)

Alcatraz forgetting about big eye?

And doubles red eyes flare metal plays

Shit, I'd play Link Spam with Light/Dark Dragon, the Rulers, Grinder Golem and gofu. Sounds dumb af

To clarify, Rulers into Tomohawk

Me too. Most fun format ever

Yep

hahaha

Ironic

The Dragon Rulers coming back would take the game by STORM

Orcust

To join your crew?

Who ?

@@betosito124 ruler of the storms.

@@SkyllerSY yep 1 dragon came back instantly staple in every dragon varriant anyone suprised

@@dragullongblackfang8073 it's amazing how the card itself is an engine how someone designed something like that back then lol

@@SkyllerSY i find it funny how people think ruler got powercreppt in realyity they got broken crept i know weird wording they just got even more powerfull as time goes one remember ruler scale with dragon level 7 support and support of 4 of the 6 elements that is just unbelivable powerfull

Unkraut 777 guard dragons will eventually take themselves out via the ban list. When elpy gets banned then you won’t have to worry about Drulers making GD op.

BlitzkriegOmega he's back

Here's your wish boy

He's out on parole.

Comments that aged well

he did lmao,when I saw the new banlist I was crying from happiness,altough I never used it.

GeeksOasis and why should Blu eyes players get hit just cuz 1 deck wants to be unbanned

@@pedrocarneirobatista9242 DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH DARK MATTER! Instead also bring REDMD to 3. Huehuehuehueh.

No thank you

Well ... Tomahawk is banned, so that makes a good case for them coming back so they aren't broken in half like they used to be, but I wouldn't mind seeing a full power Dragon Ruler deck against Altergeists

It is at 1

Yes. There was more creativity in the game back in DR/Spell book/Evilsworn era unlike now where there is 1 game winning condition for each deck

Nah...just bring them back to 1, REDMD to 2 or 3, and then don't even think about touching Dark Matter. Ok, maybe he could go to one

I have dark matter and I would like to use him with my galaxy eyes,especially using it against theses new cards

Perfectly balanced.

Croutonking65 what does Demonetize mean? Im assuming it means this video wont make the dzeff money. But please school me.

@@duMaurier15 dunno if you ever got an answer but demonetization means that this video is being tagged by someone who claims it uses their stuff without fair use, which isn't true but hey, who cares about fairness anymore, and because the video gets automatically flagged by Konami, they get to decide who gets any money from ads run on the video, or they can prevent any ads from running. Either way, the actual creator doesn't see a dime.

Thành Nam also super easy to synchro out Red eyes flare metal dragon. Hope you like being locked out by burn!

Julias :| you complain about that when trickstars do that better and can leave you without a hand?

Julias synchro out flare metal?

dark assassin2086 lol

Bryan Nieves unless they going against dragon ruler then you basically giving them plusses

Exactly. Same here

Dragon Rulers looked SICK. But +7 during the End Phase was beyond nuts.

Because Dark and Light already have the best support. Earth too. Poor Wind, Water, and Fire...basically Infernoid, Mermail, and Harpies are the only decks.

How the fuck did he negate everything? I don’t remember any rank sevens that negate nor any ruler effects that say anything about negating.

Supreme Fool Maybe links or synchros Idk What negates other than mst

Dreary doll they can easily come back at one and they wouldn’t do shit besides top a few locals or make felgrand actually decent.

+Supreme Fool Too bad Galaxy Tomahawk is a card. Insane Link plays.

If they bring them back to 1, that's really no big deal.

That's pretty much what I've been saying. The Dragon Rulers were meant to be good support cards for Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind decks, so errata them by removing the "Dragon-type" part on all of them, babies and daddies, and you're good to go. No more broken plays.

Aquaria infernoids feeds off of the fire one they can easily abuse its effect- more or so in the hand discard it and any fire type just to pop any card on the field

Aquaria then they wouldn't be dragon rulers.......

That would ruined half of their purpose/thing honestly.. They are meant to work with not just elements but DRAGONS as well.. If they limited to 1, I wonder how much could be done.. Wished an actual graveyard dragon deck had a way to work

But that was just dumb.

i was hoping for tidal to come to 1 this banlist but alas i just have to hold out hope for January ban-list

CosmicKitten10 It probably does have the best chance of coming back next compared to the rest of the lot. I’ve mostly seen people talk about how Redox and Blaster are the most abuseable in the modern game, but more sparse arguments against Tidal

@@JustInCaseD you are asking for frog engines to become broken as hell.

leonscottkennedyre4 prolly d rulers or pepe or zoo or something abuseable

PrinceXL The thing about true draco is that against Pretty much any good deck before it cant out masterpeace. Nekroz Can do it But Its a bit hard because u have to bait The pop rulers Can do it with The level 4 synchro that equips itself (cant remember name) and even then they have to bait The pop (dont know if books or pepe Can out it)

Rulers and maybe people for sure. Evern things like Nekroz and zoodiac don't hold a candle to these decks in their prime.

Every single ftk deck.

Magical explosions FTK

Praise Monarchs!

Yo I got everything for my extra deck monarchs in my deck binder. Love that deck 10/10

Homura Akemi plz unban infernity

Homura Akemi I'll settle for stormforth back to 3. I just wanna be able to play tribute summon decks again. My earthbound immortal deck wasn't great but it was viable then... ;_;

zuleanservant stormforth is too generic to make it to 3 again. It basically makes everything you want kaiju

Late reply but i really dgaf. Most of the time its because of unseen abuse potential just like super rejuvenation with the dragon rulers, when super rejuvenation came out in 2005 or so it was a rather bad/mediocre card but everything changed when the -fire nation attacked- dragon rulers came by, another example is morphing jar #2 (and another miller card) and all-out attack, and many other combinations of old cards with new cards, i think it is too hard to keep track of all the damn cards that are created, but yeah there is also some other cards are created just to be almost instantly banned.

He made a comment, correcting himself. But yeah, he's "fake news."

Lol

if they come back they arent nerfed then

PokéKid errata. But that still seems far fetched.

Jory Porteous erratas would ruin them. i agree its far fetched, i never see erratas as a choice because it pushes people away from playing those cards ever again which is unfair.

And errats pretty much ruins the legacy of a card Look at Crush Card Virus, it was practically defiled and ruined honestly Your opponent should have the CHOICE to kill up to 3 of their monsters from their decks since it could pretty much backfire Should have been the USER'S choice to do that honestly

they should just make newer versions, like with pot of duality as the new see 3 cards opposed to graceful and with dichotomy and jar of ava for pot of ava. even things like jar of greed, reckless greed, and desires are new versions of pot of greed without nerfing the card. they shoulda just made a new virus card and things like new sangan and witch, they made gouki lol. as said above by minicooper, true kings are new rulers (even though they are very inconsistent and got very close to completely useless, they already took a big hit with lithos gone)

CloudyVenom check out Lithium2300. He dose cross Banlist duells and you can see Rulers in action, aganst other OP decks (e.g. tete DAD)

Journey of the Soul yeah, and Gold Sarcophagus triggered their effects immediately, they had indirect support with sacred sword. I've seen Skull Lair do work in D Rulers.

Huh interesting, I'll look into Lithium later. They sound kinda interesting actually, I play with a friend with no banlist online so I might throw something together

Journey of the Soul remind me of old times, i used wind type DR in my MPB deck

paddyd50 gamer if there was no banlist, dragon rulers wouldn’t be tier 0, it would be a exodia ftk turn one wins 100% of the time format. They would then move from banning them to the top deck until we’re at where we are now. Banned cards tend to have a reason behind it.

@@zachcondel7116 not really. The exodia FTK you are right about and that should never happen. Some generic cards like Pot of Greed should stay banned. But there are decks that are not played anymore simple becauze of the banlist and if they come back it would be more competitive. Dragon Rulers in link format would not even be tier 1 now so why keep them banned? Even spell book of judgement should come back and infernity cards should go back to 3. The new archetypes are way more powerful than the old ones so there is no reason to ban cards in the first place , just add more cards. But then again its for money

@@omarshakir8727 Were you around for Dragon Rulers? Dragon Rulers can still abuse link mechanic and just spam different and newer extra deck cards. Dragon rulers in their prime with support from a lot of cards released after they got hit would be fairly strong. Dragon Rulers have not been power creeped as much as you think. The deck was far too versatile for its own good.

This guy wants to say hi to Magical Scientist every morning!

@@PlaguevonKarma It's time for the Rulers to come back! Just one copy each though..we don't want too much shenanigans.

Nonono, we CANNOT have them back without an errata... guardragons would absolutely be tier 0 or something else using them would be.

Why ban 1 of the best Synhcros in the game rather than errataing Rulers to just make them attribute specific.(No Dragon support.)

but tbh omega can go burn in hell, I want to play my dragon rulers :(

Omega can stay, d-rulers no.

"Let's take out one of the only things making Synchro decks playable right now so we can have these ridiculously powerful monsters that can spam out Links via Galaxy Tomahawk along with other power plays." Yeah, okay pal.

Cory in the House that sounds like a great idea But Its not like They Can lock u out of the extradeck by sending arkbrave dragon and amorphage goliath to The grave of Dark matter dragon oh wait they now have a walking vanities emptiness👌👌👌

remove ban list, no errata

Some cards are busted and deserve to be banned but most of the cards on the ban list should come back especially cards of old archetypes because the new archetypes are more broken

Chris Alvarado or Maybe cards are banned because they’re too powerful

Card are baned because they are so powerful that no strategies or deck that come close to touch them
