Yu-Gi-Oh! Cards That Instantly Make Your Opponent Stupid 

And we are back *click click* with another twitter thread!

"infernoid evil effect, banish onuncu as cost?" "ok that's fine" "ok dump 10 infernoids" "WHAT"

Me - Mom, can we watch another MBT Twitter thread Mom - we have a MBT Twitter thread at home

Shoutouts to Borreload Savage Dragon. The number of times I've seen people try to Cosmic Cyclone the equiped link thinking it will disable the negate is crazy.

Where is Psychic End Punisher? The peak Master Duel Time Out card

My weakness with this is Plunder Patroll. No matter how many times I read them. No matter how many times I've watched them. No matter how similar Jord's name is to my own. I CANNOT play or play against Plunder for the life of me. I play D/D/D with little to no problems, but Plunder Patroll is something I simply can't figure out. IDK WHY.

Golden Castle of Stromberg "When an opponent's monster declares an attack: Destroy the attacking monster, and if you do, inflict damage to your opponent equal to half the ATK that monster had on the field." I cannot count the number of times people have assumed this effect is once per turn. It is not.

i had an aneurysm the first time i read bagooska

Angelic ring be like: "bro activated dark ruler"

Scareclaw Tri-Heart + Defanging is literally my favorite thing to do ever.

Small world. I sorta know what it does, but every time I start to read it, by the end of it I catch remember the start of it.

Not a card; but a full archetype. The amount of people that don't realise DANGER!s only discard for effect and not cost is hilarious. Every single time I play DANGER!'s in MD, there's always at least one person that attempts to Ash Blossum the effect after it's revealed in hand; meaning the effect fizzles; and then I just reactivate after they've wasted Ash because the DANGER!s also don't have a OPT clause for their in-hand effect~

Beast-Armor Union Lio Hope Ray/Ultimate Leo Utopia Ray has a line that states "This effect's activation and effect cannot be negated." The line is placed in-between 2 unique effects that either makes them get mixed up on which effect can't be negated or they decide to skim over it and forget that the effect to equip a Zeal Weapon can't be negated because _Anime Reference._

Cherubini “Why BA not die?”

Criminal to not mention the amount of people that try to out Scareclaw Tri-Heart with Typhoon

2:34 I want this clipped next to the professor from the mtg community saying “reading the card explains the card”

Playing D-Link under Maxx "C" and watching my opponent throw half their deck at Borrelend, achieving absolutely nothing and shame scooping after, is peak comedy.

I mostly play Lunalights on MD and I think about 50% of my duels end with the opponent trying to target and/or destroy my Lunalight Leo Dancer and then surrendering, it's great.

I like how the effects are numbered in the Japanese text

I love math

For some reason some people still use activation negations on Danger! cards.. (Ash and Apollousa)

No one reads firewall dragon singularity effect to special summon if a monster linked to it is sent to the graveyard, or the effect of terrahertz to negate monster effects in the battle phase. I won many games because those two effects were not handled well

FLOWER CARDIANS!!!

Wow, I never knew Endymion, the Mighty Master of Magic's effect worked like that. That effect may have only been used against me back in 2022.

I was looking at various fun janky cards for a idea. I came across a few that gave me a slight chuckle because they mess with ATK points "without targeting" and only effects you. So imagine putting these on a normal summons and see how the Opponent reacts. Mirror Mail: it's a one-time "non-targeting" trap that makes your ATK equal to the enemy's monster. not just during damage calc. Prideful Roar: similar but different. During damage calculation, if you battle something with higher atk, pay life equal to the difference in ATK; your monster gains ATK equal to that difference +300. xD

I have multiple here but read as you will. Shoutout to Rapid Trigger for Borreload Furious and other available fusion targets with it Had a duel once Cyberse vs Aliens (long before Terahertz release and Circular hit): I end turn with Cosmic Slicer Zer'oll, Alien Overlord and Planet Pollutant Virus set, they summon I:P under Wicckid I fire Virus with Overlord then proceeded to link climb into Unicorn, Accesscode and then Update Jammer without seeing that counters went on as they are summoned And lastly a classic of mine in the form of a lock: Wicckid pointing to Honeybot and both pointing to a Quantum Dragon/Cyberse Magician/Clock Dragon

The point about the karikuri vs yubel and what order they put the effects in is SO IMPORTANT, KONAMI PLEASE!!

Honestly, I sympathize a bit because I've kinda stopped reading cards too. Not to the same extent, I still read the end board to make sure I'm still able to play the game or not, but like 90% of the new meta in Master Duel, I have no idea what they do. I hopped on, played 4 games, and all 4 games my opponent had 4-6 negates + Maxx C in hand, every single time. After a point, you kinda just stop caring in search for the 1 pour soul that bricks. And it's not like I'm bad. I'm playing bad decks, sure, because they're more fun to me personally, but if you gave me a card, I can understand it pretty clearly.

Earthbound Prison. The archetype isn't complete, so not enough people play Earthbound Prisoners. The field spell has a booby trap at the very end of the text that most players just don't read.

Reading "This card is unaffected..." always makes me stop like, Huh?.......🤨

Destructive daruma karma cannon. You'd be amazed how many times I've had to explain to my opponent that their unaffected monster dies.

To this day I don't understand how Inspector Boarder works. For a while I was maining triple book of moon just to avoid having to read that fucking thing.

“Altergeist Protocol” is just one of my favourite cards. All people see on Masterduel is the one monster negate. Oohh but the card does soooo much more.

My personal favorites are in the gate guardian archetype. Wind and water can negate spell/traps TWICE per turn. Water and thunder can reduce stats to 0 TWICE per turn, and can wait for the damage step to minimize responses. Combined can stop effects that target ANY of my cards, not just himself, can do it THREE TIMES per turn, AND can do it multiple times per chain. Labyrinth wall shadow is also a floodgate that prevents battle for low/no level monsters AND can pop a 1600 or less monster at the start of the battle phase. For every single one of those effects, i’ve had multiple opponents either not read or not comprehend them. Several have scoop of shame’d afterward, but 1 swordsoul player on master duel ran into most of these effects all in 1 duel and still kept going until he ran out of LP. He would have had my respect for his tenacity if i wasn’t too busy laughing.

-Attacks madame verre -She gains attack -Surely she is once per turn right? -She gains attack -Fine I guess I'll clear the other monsters -They gain attack -Scoop

I don't know if it would count, but a double Wind Witch-protected, Hi-Speedroid Chanbara. 1. They repeatedly attempt to destroy the card despite having both the Wind Witch protections. And I mean multiple times in both ways... 2. Then they also cannot seem to understand that its ATK increases with every battle AND can attack twice per turn. I have been cursed at and accused more than a dozen times of somehow hacking Nexus due to this.

The fact the Speedroid thing has happened to me, I got the card, wanted to try it and battled a gren maju player, I basically summoned it again and again until they got out Numeron Dragon and they say "I attack for game" and I just replyed "Yeah, that's game....I win" XD

Full Armor Master (yes, ALL cards means ALL cards, but thx anyway for that effect activation that netted you a Wedge counter) Accel Synchro Stardust Dragon (protection effect twice removed, meaning the player does not only need to look at the card that was summoned by its effect and their materials, but also at Accel itself to realize why any and all removal just doesn't work, it's devious)

Fellow Darklord player spotted!! But for me it's using Greater poly to make the First Darklord, the number of times my opponents have tried to use destruction to remove will never not be funny. Had a Blackwing player spend 3 turns trying to out it, from Chaos Angel to various Blackwing boss monsters, but as long as I refused to use the effect they could just not out it.

I hate that they waited until RUSH DUELS to actually standardize the way card effect descriptions are supposed to be written.

Dragon ruler was a nighmare for me during their format. Now they back to 2

Black feather whirlwind. I've legit seen so many people try to pop my cards when I have tokens on field. Seriously dude, I have a continuous spell, the game is not just big scary dragon bird that bites my ass everytime I use a monster attack, read the virtual cardboard.

Evil Hero: Malicious Fiend is my personal reading kryptonite. I went into the battle phase with that thing and watched in horror as all my defense position Superheavy Samurai monsters switched to attack position.

I can't tell you the amount of times in Diamond, people have flipped imperm on Sera... Really makes you think

The golden Castle of Stromberg guy is no NPC, he was just pissed that his monster got destroyed so he commited sudoku

Blackwinged assault dragon the amount of times I’ve won duels because they have less then 700 life points use a monster effect they explode then I win and start laughing is more then 1

Blue-Eyes jet dragon for me, lol. Don't know know how many times people try to destroy my cards while Jet was on the field, just to repeat the same process, and none of my cards were getting destroyed.

For some reason marincess. My best friend always played it but I don’t know a single effect except wave or the link 4

No one ever remembers Crystal Wing has a second effect and that it's not once per battle phase. I've even watched someone OTK themselves trying to run him over.

Surprised Fabled Unicore is not on the list, the amount of people that run into it x2-x3 times in a row makes me worry for our species.

I once had a match vs. a Mikanko player who didn't realize that Shooting Majestic's ignition effect negation was 1. Permanent 2. Non-targeting. Let to a lot of hilarity when their board got demolished. Same with using Trishula on them.

I did this shit with my own card once. For over 6 years of playing mermail, I never once noticed that gaios prevents level 7 and higher monsters from attacking. It just never came up. It never mattered. Until one game when it did, and I couldn't OTK because both of my megalos couldn't attack.

For me its majespter. Every single main deck majepster has the effect "cannot be targeted or destoyed by opponents card effects" yet i still have had people activate dark hole mirror force or try to imperm them (more often in master duel though)

The amount of people I've seen try to throw monster effects like Baronne or Kaleidoheart at Scareclaw Tri-Heart will never not amuse me

Aromage Jasmine. Bro if i have more life points my plants under jasmine dont die. Also i faced a herald of perfectness, i didnt know its monster effect and spell negate aint once a turn. He also had orange and green light in hand

Having to read makes all YuGiOh players go stupid

Ty-phon completely shuts down avramaxx.

for my locals its always machina citadel, they always stop and read it and argue me on its quick effect

The amount of times that I made my enemy waste their baron negate by using branded fusion with branded lost on the field is astounding

As a Mekk-Knight player....... yeah, our end boards can be really annoying. I may have to make and LEAVE on board a Morning Star, JUST for Yubel. Also, did you know that, even though Avramax doesn't really care for Mekk-Knight support too much, it's STILL a Mekk-Knight name for the backrow and the endboard for Scars FTK? Still funny I won by deckout against it with pure Therion. Thanks, Discolosseum.

What if after I draw a card I hold it in my other hand

Attacks Cyber Dragon Sieger, Quick Effect Doubles Attack

Towers effects from Marincess field spell or wave, every time

A few years ago for duel links I just played gren maju Stromberg decks, 99% of people would try to attack and Stromberg would just go off and they would end up damaging themselves or killing themselves. I blame it on the amount of text and people just not wanting to read lmao

Decisive Battle of Golgonda is VERY good at making people do stupid things. The amount of times my opponents have attempted to do a full board wipe (e.g. with Black Rose Dragon or Rollback->Elemental Burst) while I had up Golgonda protection is pretty silly.

Curious how much less text there would be on a yugioh card if Konami implemented keywords like mtg

Magnus Magnus GREAT KING OF THE COMPUTER if you know, you know

I mean, OCG cards usually has bullets / numbered effects. It's in translation that those bullets / numbers are lost, so... Why, Konami TCG?

I played Qliphort turbo Tower in MD for fun... You can't believe how many players cannot understand Apoqliphort Towers

Back when Utopia the Lightning was a thing I lost count of how many people just crashed it into my Ancient Gear Chaos Giant, truly peak yuguoh

A card that I can think of is "King Tiger Wanghu" And the other old card is Waboku especially when you're playing against modern decks. Can you activate wahoo on their main phase 1 it's funny watching them attack a flip monster with every single card. And it not getting destroyed. And taking no battle damage.

It's Ultimate Falcon. ITS ALWAYS ULTIMATE FALCON my opponents can't read the first 5 words of the effect 😭😭😭 Bonus points to Raider's Wing and my opponents wonder why their Veiler or Imperm can't disrupt Raider's Knight or Brave Strix

Idk how Decatron managed to avoid this. Always funny to see reactions to summoning it off Oak, OSS, or adding off Snake-Eye Ash, then people realizing it’s not OPT, and the thing that really breaks people is not knowing what its effect can become. I straight up had people ask me “what are you sending?”

Numbers Eveil is my favorite stupid card. You need to sacrifice a third of your extra deck space just for this card to function, and then you need to search for some random number monsters with different ranks whose number value is just right just for a going second tool.

I was dumb enough to begin serious Yugioh + pendulum with DDD less than 2 years before MR4 ... for dumb effect on your opponent's brain : Kali Yuya on their standby using wander XYZ No field effect + quick effect duster + 3500 ATK

You know, it's funny you bring up throwing: 1) I think that might have been what was happening with that Golden Castle clip. 2) I would rather throw than surrender. Funnily enough, that's won me a few duels. My opponent can't tell what I'm doing, so they panic and run as I attempt to self-OTK myself. Admittedly, once or twice I had some interruption that blocked their attempt to interrupt. Which hey, that farms up my duel pass a touch. Only reason I throw...

Tellarknight player here. For some reason, the tellarknight equip spell makes people unable to read. In MD, 95% of my games when I equip the spell to my XYZ monster, the opponent always targets my equipped monster. Like, I don’t know how much more obvious it can be. LITERALLY HOVER OVER MY MONSTER and you’ll see what is equipped to it, follow the green arrow and read the card. It’s literally the 2nd line of the card text. Anywhere from rookie to plat people can’t read

16:39 regarding effect placement consistency, may I direct your attention to... Sky Striker Ace Kagari: 1st the on-summon, 2nd the atk manip, *3rd the summon restriction* Sky Striker Ace Shizuku: 1st the atk manip, 2nd the end phase search, *3rd the summon restriction* Sky Striker Ace Hayate: *1st the summon restriction* 2nd the direct attack, 3rd the on-attack Sky Striker Ace Kaina: 1st the on-summon, 2nd the LP gain, *3rd the summon restriction* wtf hayate, you were the third one to come out x( Also Anjelly and Puddingcess are the only Madolche out of 13 to have the destruction grave shuffle NOT in first :)

I cannot tell you how many times people have tried to chain Called by the Grave to my Sea Stealth Attack, thinking they can banish my Umi from the GY.

I've got one: Magical Musketeers, especially Caspar. They're great for testing if the opponent has object permanence. I've actually won a couple of games _on the opponent's battle phase_ because they watch me add "Magical Musket - Cross Domination" to hand earlier in the turn, and then try to swing at me while they're low on life points. Weirdest part is this was happening back when Avramax was popular... they probably could have rolled me if they just made him with I:P.

Just yesterday I met someone trying to run into my defense position Cactus Bouncer on Aromaseraphy Jasmine's link arrow with Centur-Ion Legatia while I'm chilling over healing myself and thinking "Cn't they just chip me by attacking Jasmine instead?" before they scooped.

14:37 I'm a Blue-Eyes player in Plat 3

PHNI format: Nightmare Pain and Spirit of Yubel/OG Yubel. Nightmare Pain's battle damage reflect being a continuous effect and Yubel's floating not being OPT won me a win-a-mat side event at a regional.

Eternal Soul. People try to pop Dark Magician with it up and wonder why no worky. The debuff is doubled if Dark Magician the Dragon Knight is on the field with it. It's like if the effect that makes it a Towers isn't on the card being protected, the average Yu-Gi-Oh player's brain just turns to mush,.

Some of these are legit: who knew of Endymion before getting cought once, the difference from adding and drawing sometimes is specified on cards, Pendulum have a lot of effects(JOKINGLY🤡)linked to weird interactions...

6:17 - Lovely pop & Karma cannon can deal with Mr. Big boy thou, same a beefy Archfiend Lab (+7 normal traps on gy), but who plays that thing? Also, you can activate traps & spells right at the start of the battle phase (In digital, you should Toogle on), so you can play around Balista

How you out a Avramax made with IP? Simple, you normal summon Familiar Possessed Aria with 2 other elements and enough charmer continues spells and hit them for 5 thousand.

Sangen summoning. I’ve had even tenpai players misplay and activate effects when they should KNOW I’m unaffected.

Dice Smasher I had an opp (Purrely) who just sat there after I activated Dice Smasher eff successfully. After I resolved its eff, they just started wondering why they couldnt attack nor activate monster effs. They passed turn and started roping on my 1 action the whole game, and they lost due to "Time Limit" since they just idled on my 1 action.

in Duel link, most of poeple dont know Cyberse wickid secret effect, and they always fall to Firewall dragon summoning effect thinking their mons will be back to hand

I’ve been running Koa’ki Meiru Drago in Armed Dragon for over 4 years now. The amount of times people tried to Nibiru or Underworld Goddess it was shocking. Just sitting there like “what attribute is the monster you’re trying to special summon? Aaaaand what attribute monsters are you not able to special summon?” Of course thanks to Tenpai everyone knows this card now, but it’s still frustrating to deal with for most decks

I'm surprised nobody mentioned Rise to Full Height and the Battle Phase>Stare>Second Main combo.

Bro the amount of times I have to explain to my opponent that they can’t target my VV cards with effs plus you can only atk skull guardian

Eternal Soul literal first line is "Every "Dark Magician" in your Monster Zone is unaffected by your opponent's card effects.". DM is a pet deck so I get not want to be arsed to read anything but if you activated raigeki and DM is still on the field...then you try to return it to my hand and it's still there...and there's literally just DM and Eternal Soul on the field...you might wanna uh, you know, at least read the first line of the card.

Mine has to be ABC names equipped to a monster. I broke a full Dino board because regulus equipped with A assault turned their brain off. bait Baronne, I threaten BP they S:P target regulus, nothing Super Conductor eff, nothing they only have their 2 negates left and they waste it on A effect to unequip and A effect to add back union from GY...

Linear is deceptively complicated due to its wording/secondary effect of having to count cards in graveyard/the number of cards opponent controls/the multiplication, all of it together makes it a bit daunting, but it is doable. 6 x 500 = Max 3000 damage to you if you guess wrong about the number of cards in your graveyard (not hard if paying attention/counting cards in your graveyard. (This could be mitigated with a card like Barrel Behind the Door, so your opponent takes the damage instead.) As for the chosen number you choose Plus cards opponent owns, the number could be anywhere between 7, (a 1 star) +1 for monster on field... all the way to 90 (for a level 13 monsters + 12 cards on field) so if keeping track of your graveyard and if your opponent has the necessary monster and cards on the field that matches the chosen number X the chosen monster + cards on field (too complicated in my opinion) if all that matches with the cards in your graveyard, you can further add to the cards in your graveyard while forcing your opponent to shuffle their cards. While that isn't too bad of an effect especially if your deck relies on cards in graveyard. - I would say the other effect is much easier to pull off, call it wrong and call 6 all the time, and use Barrel Behind the Door. Easy 3k damage to opponent, and you could us something like transaction rollback to deal further damage/use other burn cards for some great one turn kill potential.

Suprised Herald of the arc light's banish effect wasn't mentioned. It's the type of effect I would always forget and sometimes I would activate droplets and would be like: why game bugged? I can't send monsters... Famous card in the Halq era ofc but since then hasn't really seen any play.

In MD the combination of macro Cosmos and gravekeepers servant is always funny. It is always like: Opponent enters battle phase „I can’t attack why game bugged?“ Since gravekeepers servant needs to sent one card to the graveyard as cost for attacking but because of macro cosmos the card would be banished they can’t pay their taxes

Opponent summoning an Impcantation moster from my GY with the dark charmer only to get stuck, unable to keep climbing cause they didn't read the part where "You cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck" applies to the controller of the card hahaha

I know its duel links but i love crystalwing synchro dragon and when my opponents forget that he has a atk boosting effect. So many hero players ftk themselves against this beauty haha
