@filiplucic It's still honestly pretty situational, especially when you consider it can't kill anything that has over 1000 attack. A better use for it if you need to force yourself to try to get ANYTHING out of Blast Juggler is that you can use it to blow up your own Sangan to search something with 1500 or less attack
@@matthewkuscienko4616 Yeah, no doubt, it's pretty awful, but it would be so funny to actually resolve it. The Sangan interaction actually sounds cool, didn't think of that one
ocubeam was actually played in extra deck monarchs in 2016, because it has same type and attribute of aether, so you could dodge both rivarly and gozen match. the only thing is that dark witch was the tier 1 choice because has better stats but whoever didnt get her they would use ocubeam instead. it comes in because of the combo with brilliant fusion>lazuli>normal monsters interaction
Blast juggler, ocubeam and mega thunderball are fusion materials (for cyber saurus for the first and kaminari attack for the two others) so that definitely makes them better than random vanillas since there are more ways to summon them from the deck, search them, revive them, etc...
Ok, maybe I'm too damaged by the 2022-Meta, but Mega Thunderball could be a legit tech in spright. Lvl 2 normal monster, can thud be summond with Unexpected Dai, can be recycled with Recycling Batteries, and even turned into colossus. Is it good? No. But if The statue of Easter Island was "playable" in adamancipators, so could you play Mega Thunderball in a spright list...😅
The Cheerful Coffin Not even future decks like Infernity / Dark World / Fabled that like to discard or empty the hand would use a card where-at best-is still an inherent -1.
Great video, although I think you were a bit harsh on Tainted Wisdom. Not saying it's a good card, but given Big Eye is also in this set there is a way to get knowledge of what your top cards are, so if you know bad things are ahead you can try to avoid it. This at least makes it better than Yado Karu, even if that's a low bar lol.
Still waiting for the meta Mega Thunderball decklist lol. One of my favorite cards back in the day. I always loved the mysterious obscure monsters back in the day. Like what exactly would be the origins of that monster? So interesting to ponder.
I guess larvae moth can be used for a tribute for something else, not that its any good. I'm thinking about adding cocoon of ultra evolution and gate guardians combined to me and my friends dm draft packs, just for the off chance of we can actually use gate guardian or great moth as a option
@havierbardem820 yeah it would still end up just being a "it's what we got" option but with the more packs opened the more likely chance it's just not a consideration for sure😂
I'm probably the only one who cares, but this is very biased toward tcg constructed exactly. Mega Thunderball is the cheapest thunder you can password redeem in Forbidden Memories, and it's one of the best cards because of it. Also, if we drafted 40 Metal Raiders cards, I bet the high teens tribute monsters and the slow removal would come in handy. Good list, ofc. Just, like, seen so many people die to Gate Guardian in FM that it's hard not to mention.
It's like... almost all of them, early yugioh pack were so so so fucking bad, with very few very good cards that people still remember, but otherwise complete ass garbage
@@Bijed4Even then, it would need either better stats or a decent effect, as with only 500 attack points, you wouldn't get much value out of it even as a "failsafe" of sorts in such a scenario
@@matthewkuscienko4616 Oh I agree, it would still be terrible. It could definitely have better attack without feeling out of place. I just think it would at least be interesting, if not remotely good in a meta sense, for Cocoon of Evolution to at least provide *something* even if you don't get what you hoped for
