It would be really interesting to see what skills are included in a "Top 10 Best Skills in Duel Links" video. Some of the skills in that game have aged well since Duel Links started... And some of them are quite honestly busted.
I am pretty sure Destiny Draw would be the top 1. Given how it has survived Power crept across the game's lifespan, and is generic with all decks I would minimum count Xyz Galaxy and Clear Wing Acceleration, Raging Pendulum and The Soul of Light and Darkness, as those skills were able to make their respective archetypes playable almost instantly
Tbh I'd like to see 2 lists for thst bc u can either rang "top 10 generic skills" or "top 10 exclusive skills", otherwise the exclusive skills would easuly take over the list
@@musiyevonchilla6769 Oh that's a very good point. Although, this list included both exclusive and generic skills, so we'll probably get a list for both types of skills.
I was about to mention KaibaCorp Bling should have been an honorable mention for only being useful to bump Duel Assessment, but I just noticed it now lets you draw a random glossy/prismatic card whenever your LP drop by 2000. Pretty neat
The skill was really good for a while because it didn't have any requirement and you could use it to basically search a card you want in the middle of a duel if that was the only glossy/prismatic card in your deck(because unlike other draw skills it didn't require you to have different cards)
Top 10 Awesome But Impractical Skills would be a fun list. I would include Zane's skill Fatal Five, and the Paradox Brothers skill Elements Unite! as two examples.
Smile bright was useful when a lot of people were playing Card of the Soul, by messing up their LP they lose the monster to add. (That card played more frequently in duel links than in any other Yu-Gi-Oh format due to 4000 LP starting point which means there are more target to add than 8000 LP)
I still remember using Meet My Family to make a That Grass deck so I could insta-summon Rainbow Dragon if I drew one. 90% of the time I’d get all 7 since the rest of my deck was playsets of the Crystal Beasts and Rainbow Dragon
For Z-one, his worst skill has to be "Infinite Power of the Timelords." It requires you to have Infinite Light on the field and all it gives you is a special summon each turn. The issue is that Infinite Light is near impossible to get on the field without his other skill "Empty, Infinite, Infinite Light" which sets up Empty Machine from outside the deck.
I love how this open the possibility for the following tops: 1) Top 10 Skills that require an specific Monster to work (Example, "Raging Pendulum" requires you to minimum have 1 "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon" and 1 "Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon" in the Extra Deck to work AT ALL) 2) Top 10 Generic Skills that can be used with any deck 3) Top 10 Skills with the most restrictions (EX. Soul of Light and Darkness made Black Luster Soldier a Meta contender instantly, but you can only summon Link Monsters from Extra Deck with that skill, and you can only special Summon "Gaia the fierce knight" monsters and "black luster soldier" monsters in general). 4) Top 10 best skills in general. 5) Top 10 skills that received a Nerf / errata 6) top 10 best skills that aren't used inits intended way (yuya's "Smile world" helping Amano-Iwato become a floodgate during your opponent's turn, or Sartorious's skill that lets you start the duel with the field spell "Light Barrier", being abused by decks that don't even play Arcana Force onsters, like Metalfoes
He is but unoptainable so he's in the game's code but I don't think they are going to give it to us because I think they would think it would be too broken
Logs you should you do the Arcana Force monsters, they are based on tarot cards, specifically the major arcana of the classic rider-waite-smith system. Its a pretty obvious reference but you did Burning Abyss video which is another super obvious reference
9:35 Simple fixes: ⚪️Make it so it’s any 20 monsters, period. ⚪️And make it so that if they’re ALL D/D like this currently specifies, you can just immediately activate return with now wait or spell/trap lockout.
7:08 Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth deserves a proper retrain (one by itself, and not something by proxy like “Ultimate Great Insect”) _Perfectly Ultimate Grand Moth_ (EARTH) Level 8 Insect/Effect _Requires 3 Insect Tributes to Normal Summon (cannot be Normal Set). Can be special summoned (From your hand or GY) by tributing 2 or more insect monsters you control that are equipped with 1 or more cards each. If this card is summoned: You can activate 1 “Corrosive Scales” from your hand, deck or GY. If this card would be destroyed (By battle or card effect) or banished, you can tribute 1 Insect monster from your hand or field instead. (Quick Effect) You can apply 1 of the following effects of “Perfectly Ultimate Grand Moth” per turn:_ ⚪️Add to your hand or Activate 1 Spell/Trap from your deck that mentions “Insect” in it’s name or effects. ⚪️Pay any amount of LP: Special Summon 1 insect monster from your hand, deck or GY who’s total ATK/DEF equals the amount payed. ⚪️Target 1 insect monster you control: If that target leaves the field by an opponent’s card or effect; Special Summon 1 Insect monster from your hand or Deck, ignoring its Summoning conditions. ATK/3500 DEF/3000
It's worth noting that when 'Meet my Family' was released, It wasn't possible to obtain multiples of Every Crystal Beast, so the skill was powercrept by cards being released.
What about Grandpa’s Exodia and BE skills? The Exodia one takes, like, 6 turns for the cards to only be in your deck (at the bottom of your deck, actually), and the BE one forces you to use a single Blue Eyes just so it can gain 500 atk
I would say, the worst parts of those skill is the extra deck restriction (except the latest grandpa muto skill, as that one AT LEAST lets you play the extra deck). ESPECIALLY because it doesn't even let you make a themathic deck for Grandpa. As it doesn't let you fully use sangan and witch of the black forest at full potential (by having them fuse to get 2 searches). as both have dialogue lines
Honorable Mention : Meet My Family was actually used in Crystal Beast Grass decks, when that was still allowed. It was probably the best way to play it at the time, as Jesse Anderson had just released.
Its probably not as bad as anything on this list, but when Blair first came out, I spent 2 hours trying to resolve her skill "Happily Ever After" because of the line "and wed the 2 monsters". I figured a special animation would play or a unique effect would happen. But no. It's just a joke skill.
I will say that Jesse Anderson's "Meet My Family!" did have some potential when the spell card "That Grass Looks Greener" was legal and at 3, and even when it was at 1 (Yeah, Konami never learned their lesson from the OCG when Grass did the exact same thing before). With that skill you can make the biggest deck available at a massive 38 cards, while I personally just used this to turbo out a Rainbow Dragon turn 1, I'm sure you could have gone wild with some Zombie Shenanigans. Like yeah, you have 7 mostly bricks and 1 that searches them out, but milling a potential 18 cards would basically insta win with almost any deck, let alone a monster one.
8:52 This one could be fixed if, if your opponent draws it, they have to show all cards that are from their hand and facedown on their field. That way you at least have a good read on what your opponent has at that moment.
YA SEE, A FEW YEARS BACK, ON A ROUTINE DIG FOR DINOSAUR FOSSILS, A LANDSLIDE BROKE OUT AND NEARLY BROKE MY LEG IN TWO. THEY HAD TO OPERATE QUICKLY, SO THEY USED THE DINOSAUR BONE I FOUND TO SAVE MY LEG. EVER SINCE, I'VE HAD WHAT THEY CALL DINO DNA. THE DOCTER SAYS IT MAKES ME STRONGER THAN THE AVERAGE JOE.
And now we have The Souls of Light and Darkness picking up where CWA left off as a truly BS skill, and the only reason why BLS is the second best deck of the new format behind Tenyi
@@drakofox1362 Lazion? Not even it works very well. Going first it can’t attack so that doesn’t matter, going second the BLS player fights through it cos Legendary Swordsman stops the activation of anything during the battle phase, so not even that works 😭
14:20 easiest way to fix skill would be to let it be usable from the start. Great for OTK’s… For Either player, if your opponent manages to off it before the Dino tramples their LP.
13:54 Road to the Pro League isn't the only way to increase Duel Assessment score with a Skill - Mokuba has a Skill called KaibaCorp Bling that increases your score for using Glossy and Prismatic cards, which also happens to stack based on the number of Glossy/Prismatic cards used (and it also has a second effect to guarantee a Glossy or Prismatic card for your Draw Phase once per Duel after losing 2000 LP). So even if you wanted to farm score, KaibaCorp Bling is generally better for having better potential payoff and an easier condition.
@@rainbowdragon168 (Me who got Destroyed In Ranked Duels Yesterday, by a Krawler Deck of all things playing Needle Ceiling, and got demoted to Legend 4) You wouldn't believe it
Cyber Style almost deserves a mention. Currently, it allows you to summon up to 3 Proto-Cyber Dragon to your field from outside of your deck. The monsters cannot attack, can only be used as Fusion Material, and cannot change their battle positions. The reason this skill shouldn't be on the list is because, historically, it had enabled a number of strategies by using those Protos, such as as tribute fodder. Because the current effect is after multiple Erratas to bring it in line so it would not be abused outside of Cyber Dragon fusions. It took nerfing the skill to hell and a few other card hits to finally get it out of high tier ranked games.
Haven't played duel links in YEARS but was strangely thinking that how sartorius has a skill where he can make the coin flip land however he wants that I feel bandit Keith should have got something similar but with dice. Called something like "loaded roll" or "loaded dice". IDK
Kind of surprised the ParaDox Brother's Skill that starts you with Suijin, Sanga, and Kazejin on field and Gate Guardian in hand wasn't here. 3 monsters that can't attack, 1 card in hand, and no backup/protection is just asking for trouble.
Its a useful skill for farming. However, these bodies can be used for real plays. I encountered a few competitive players including orcust players using it and won.
Can you please make more Top 10 most important cards of many characters? I want to know the important cards of Yubel, Yusei, Aster, Yugo, Revolver, Chazz, Jaden, Jack, Crow, Akiza, Leo, Luna, Kalin, Yuma, Kite, Reginald, Quattro, Alexis and Playmaker.
Minimum 20, maximum 30 (not counting Skills that generate cards from thin air). Your Extra Deck limit is also currently a maximum of 8 (again, not counting Skills generating cards). It's important to note that your starting hand is 4 instead of 5 and you only have 3 Main Monster Zones and 3 Spell/Trap Zones.
3:55 I have an idea for a card that could not only boost Arcana Force cards, but also gamble cards in general: (Edit: made the first round of adjustments) _Arcana Force XV - The Archfiend_ (LIGHT) Level 7 Pendulum Scales: 7⬅️➡️7 _Once per turn, during either players turn, if a field spell that mentions “Arcana”, “Archfiend”, “Coin”, “Die” or “Dice” in it’s name or effects is face-up on the field, you can place this card into your pendulum zones (From your hand, GY, extra deck or monster zones). Each time a coin is tossed or a die is rolled: You can add 1 card that mentions “Coin”, “Die” or “Dice” in it’s name or effects to your hand (From your field, deck or GY). Once per turn, during either players turn, you can either toss 1 coin or roll 1 Six-Sided die: Apply 1 of the following effects based on the result, and if you do, you can special summon this card from your pendulum zone:_ Heads or 1-3: Add 1 card that mentions “Archfiend” in it’s name or effects to your hand (From your deck, GY or face-up from extra deck). Tails or 4-6: Add 1 card that mentions “Arcana” in it’s name or effects to your hand (From your deck, GY or face-up from extra deck). Fairy//Pendulum/Effect _(Quick Effect) Once per turn, You can discard this card: Add to your hand or activate (from your deck or GY) 1 field spell that mentions “Arcana”, ‘Archfiend”, “Coin”, “Die” or “Dice” in it’s name or effects. If a coin is tossed or a die is rolled: You can normal or special summon this card from your hand. Once per turn, during either players turn, you can either toss 1 coin or roll 1 Six-Sided die: Apply 1 of the following effects based on the result, and if you do, you can place this card you control into your pendulum zone:_ Heads or 1-3: For the rest of the turn, cards you control are unaffected by the effects of your opponents Traps and level 7 or lower monsters. Tails or 4-6: For the rest of the turn, cards you control are unaffected by the effects of your opponents spells and level 7 or higher monsters. ATK/2500 DEF/2500 Basically, I took the “Fiend” part of XV’s name and made it into “ARCHfiend” (So we have some cross archetype action going), I expanded it to become viable with Coins and Die/Dice at the same time (Because Archfiends had this die thing going on for a hot second), and I made it a pendulum with a lot of self-synergy…
@@Kurial94 But still a more fun card… Imagine a chaotic turn of just tossing a back accounts worth of Coins or a rolling Casino’s worth of Die for a back to back cascade of card effects?
The Smile bright skill can be used in Aromage decks since you can make your LP just slightly higher than your opponent a bit easier without using a card in your hand to start combo.
If u wanna make a "top 10 best duel links skill" I hope u are seperate the character exclusive skills from the generic ones bc its pretty much clear that 90% of that list would certainly have the exclusive ones
14:04 - Technically that can be quite powerful... as long you direct attack at 4000LP, or over load LP... if it is a tributed Dino then you can use that Monach Awakens trap to become immune to other card effects... Though the drawbacks to that just like Titan Showdown are interesting.... stranger still is Konami has never updated the skill to somehow work with Link, XYZ, monsters. Yet even more randomly anything Level 7 or higher that is a DINO even just for that turn only can be chosen... wonder if that'll ever get abused.
The worst skill I've tried was Mokuba's skill You're Powerless. It's supposed to protect your monster from being targeted by spell/trap cards. Which sounds good on paper, but what it actually does is negates a equip spell/trap to your monster and only during your Main Phase. So the only viable target for this skill is Fiendish Chain during your Main Phase after they negate your effect.🤬🤬🤬
I once dueled someone in duel links pvp where they used the paradox ability where they stared off with gat guardian on the field but they only had 500 life points. I just so happened to have gear golem the moving fortress in my opening hand & of course I FTK it with gear golem's effect.
Hey, im glad ur throat feels better. Love ur videos! I wish i could catch ur twitch streams more often, but in my timezone its just to early 😂 greetings from the other half of the world :D
I feel like Aoi has the worst skills in the game. You cannot use 1 of her Marincess skills because there arent enough water cyberse monsters in the game yet. Trickstar Trick gives your opponent a draw 3 and only at the end of their turn do they banish their entire hand. her Heart creation skill is also useless because you need to have coral anemone to even use it, and even then it cannot be used as material and only have 2 main deck marincess monsters
Another problem with that Espa Roba skill, it's better to leave the opponents cards there purely to kill their field. If they have a full back row they can't play anymore traps period, so even before accounting for Jinzo's stuff it's better to flood their field with dead cards over clearing the field if you've already locked it down. So even if Jinzo died they're stuck with w/e was already in their back row since there's no way to clear otherwise.
I wonder how Xyz summoning would interact with Hasselberrys skill, sure it defeats the purpose of the skill, but other cards with 'leave the field' don't trigger on Xyz summon 🤔
I was honestly yesterday just thinking that a list of worst skills in DL would be interesting. Couple of honorable mentions: My treasure, Blue Eyes White Dragon (Solomon Moto): Increasing the attack of Blue Eyes by 500 atk is such a minor boost and yet the restrictions to use this skill are ridiculous (you can only have 1 Blue Eyes White Dragon in your deck and no extra deck cards, thereby killing the entire reason for using Blue Eyes in the first place). Even without the restrictions there are so many better Blue Eyes skills for Kaiba that it wouldn't be worth using this one. The restrictions make this skill unusable (although I guess it makes sense within the lore that Kaibi who invents Duel Links would not want any person using Blue Eyes to have a good skill but himself). Elements Unite (Paradox Brothers): Prior to the introduction of XYZ and later on Link monsters this would easily be a top three worst skill. Not only do you lose your entire hand but you also start with a measly 500 LP. And all to set up the materials to summon Gate Guardian, a beatstick with no effects other that it's summoning conditions. And you thought the LP boost ones were bad. However, this skill is so old that there actually aren't any restrictions of use the materials for extra deck summons, just that they can't activate their effects or attack. Heck, if only the materials were 1 level higher, you could use them to summon Coach King Gianttrainer, which could replinish your hand. As it is though, the loss of your hand and most of your LP makes it not worth it.
3:38 also, duels can only go up to 55 turns, after that the duel ends in a draw. Reversal of fate could have been a good skill for the gx legacy duels, being able to use hanged man, but konami only allowed for right side up to be used, which made it not possible to make a deck with hanged man in it.
One with the Dinos would be fairly simple to fix... Just make the skill also give some protections to the Dinosaur monster, make it much harder or even impossible to destroy or banish by Card Effect.
kinda wish skills were added to normal yugioh as an extra deck card type, but with an activation cost and maybe a low limit to how many you can have in a deck(like just one or possibly up to three max) to make them not too insane
Actually, Road to the Pro League is not the only Assesment booster - there is KaibaCorp Bling, which increase the duel score for the Glossy cards you’ve played, on the exact same way that Pro League does. It is however SLIGHTLY more useful simply by letting it be a Draw Sense: Foil Rarity every 2000 LP you lose. Letting you guaranteed draw a Glossy/Prismatic/Legend Foil card during your draw phase.
LP Boost Alpha isn't bad, there is no negative to it but the 1k extra LP at best for just about every deck slightly protects against OTKs... Though it does have synergy with Aromages. Because they benefit from having more LP than your opponent, and starting with more definitely helps with that.
I'm surprised that Mokuba's Duel Masters "KaibaCorp Bling" skill didn't get honorable mention? (KaibaCorp Bling: Foil cards gets a x1.5 boost in Duel Assessment and when LP hits 2000, normal draw card can be replaced with a random foil upgraded card)
The latest ban list that's going to be put into effect soon will ensure people nobody ever plays Raging Pendulum anymore. They're putting Dragonpit Magician on Limited 3 and keeping Pendulum Call at Limited 3. There goes most of the consistency from the deck. They're also putting Shooting Riser Dragon at Limited 1 so you can't have both it and Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon. Soul of Light and Darkness decks can be brutal, but still not as bad at Tier 0 Dark Magician, which is what we're going to have again when the new list hits. You can at least deal with BLS Ritual monsters.
sartoruis right side up is better as almost all except one is good for this i used arcana force with a few additional spells that made it easier to summon fairy monsters. If you want to have the fails use reversal of fate trap
or if light barrier is active during your turn just use that it’s actually a pretty fun deck when you have that skill and field spell as you can manipulate fate in a sense lol 😂
or if light barrier is active during your turn just use that it’s actually a pretty fun deck when you have that skill and field spell as you can manipulate fate in a sense lol 😂
Surprised "The Supreme King's Soldiers" isnt on here, sure its kinda a joke skill but it gives you 1 of 7 random monsters that do NOT work together, best case is using it in a Demise King of Armageddon Deck for a 2/7 chance of either getting Demise or Chaos Sorc
even with out the 50 turn draw limit. it would never get the opponent down to 1000 with out extending the game, the opponent would deck out before it happens even is the only thing that happend to the deck was the draw phase draw.

And now we have The Souls of Light and Darkness picking up where CWA left off as a truly BS skill, and the only reason why BLS is the second best deck of the new format behind Tenyi
@@dannyeleternity7390 oh yeah lol that skill that loses to that fire Timelord that shuffles all cards from the GY to the extra deck lol
@@drakofox1362 Lazion? Not even it works very well. Going first it can’t attack so that doesn’t matter, going second the BLS player fights through it cos Legendary Swordsman stops the activation of anything during the battle phase, so not even that works 😭
I just redownloaded duel links, rad timing
14:20 easiest way to fix skill would be to let it be usable from the start. Great for OTK’s… For Either player, if your opponent manages to off it before the Dino tramples their LP.
13:54 Road to the Pro League isn't the only way to increase Duel Assessment score with a Skill - Mokuba has a Skill called KaibaCorp Bling that increases your score for using Glossy and Prismatic cards, which also happens to stack based on the number of Glossy/Prismatic cards used (and it also has a second effect to guarantee a Glossy or Prismatic card for your Draw Phase once per Duel after losing 2000 LP). So even if you wanted to farm score, KaibaCorp Bling is generally better for having better potential payoff and an easier condition.
Can we have a video about the best characters and skills? At least before Blue Angel stops being meta
My poor girl deserves love
Another worst skill in my opinion is Scapegoat which basically skips your whole turn to play 3 sheep tokens in defence mode and that’s it.
At least that one enables Needle Ceiling
@@ianr.navahuber2195 Yeah but who is going to play Needle Ceiling? Not many people are going to
@@rainbowdragon168 (Me who got Destroyed In Ranked Duels Yesterday, by a Krawler Deck of all things playing Needle Ceiling, and got demoted to Legend 4)
You wouldn't believe it
@@rainbowdragon168Salamangreat and Trickstars use that card
@@axelpallares301 Not all users of those two decks would play that card but I guess it might have benefits or something.
I don’t know if you have done this yet, but a Worst Archtype vid would be cool
Unless he's vastly improved that laughably bad AI from yesterday, it sounds like his throat is doing better
Cyber Style almost deserves a mention. Currently, it allows you to summon up to 3 Proto-Cyber Dragon to your field from outside of your deck. The monsters cannot attack, can only be used as Fusion Material, and cannot change their battle positions.
The reason this skill shouldn't be on the list is because, historically, it had enabled a number of strategies by using those Protos, such as as tribute fodder. Because the current effect is after multiple Erratas to bring it in line so it would not be abused outside of Cyber Dragon fusions. It took nerfing the skill to hell and a few other card hits to finally get it out of high tier ranked games.
Here's an idea we'll I guess 2 but top ten worst/best monsters that can be placed in the spell/trap zone. (Pendulum excluded)
What about “Top 10 good cards/decks in OCG/TCG that are bad in Duel Links”
Dark Ruler No More and Droll and Lock Bird should number 1 & 2
9/10, no Maxx C explanation
Haven't played duel links in YEARS but was strangely thinking that how sartorius has a skill where he can make the coin flip land however he wants that I feel bandit Keith should have got something similar but with dice. Called something like "loaded roll" or "loaded dice". IDK
Kind of surprised the ParaDox Brother's Skill that starts you with Suijin, Sanga, and Kazejin on field and Gate Guardian in hand wasn't here. 3 monsters that can't attack, 1 card in hand, and no backup/protection is just asking for trouble.
True, but those can at least be used for xyz plays. Getting an instant 3 level 7 monsters is pretty sweet, even if it has a huge cost.
Back when Mermaid was free, that was by far the worst skill you could have possibly faced. It used to give Orcust players a broken board
Its a useful skill for farming. However, these bodies can be used for real plays. I encountered a few competitive players including orcust players using it and won.
I haven't played duel links in years, but I remember using that skill to cheese some (event) duels
It used to be awful but with XYZ and Link Summoning now in the game it's become pretty strong, even leading to an FTK involving Knightmare Mermaid
People complaining about a better than most ai, when actual logs is out here saying "Vidgeo"
There’s like 200 skills and 7 of them are good 😂
damn, of all the cards that didn't need a nerf, Minor Goblin Official was pretty high on the list ^^
Can you please make more Top 10 most important cards of many characters? I want to know the important cards of Yubel, Yusei, Aster, Yugo, Revolver, Chazz, Jaden, Jack, Crow, Akiza, Leo, Luna, Kalin, Yuma, Kite, Reginald, Quattro, Alexis and Playmaker.
yeah we have jaden being worked on now
TIL the minimum deck size for Duel Links is 20, that sounds nuts.
Minimum 20, maximum 30 (not counting Skills that generate cards from thin air). Your Extra Deck limit is also currently a maximum of 8 (again, not counting Skills generating cards). It's important to note that your starting hand is 4 instead of 5 and you only have 3 Main Monster Zones and 3 Spell/Trap Zones.
@@BloodrealmXDarn, and here I felt like 15 cards for your Extra Deck was already too few...
Generating cards out of thin air sounds hilarious though.
3:55 I have an idea for a card that could not only boost Arcana Force cards, but also gamble cards in general:
(Edit: made the first round of adjustments)
_Arcana Force XV - The Archfiend_ (LIGHT)
Level 7
Pendulum Scales: 7⬅️➡️7
_Once per turn, during either players turn, if a field spell that mentions “Arcana”, “Archfiend”, “Coin”, “Die” or “Dice” in it’s name or effects is face-up on the field, you can place this card into your pendulum zones (From your hand, GY, extra deck or monster zones). Each time a coin is tossed or a die is rolled: You can add 1 card that mentions “Coin”, “Die” or “Dice” in it’s name or effects to your hand (From your field, deck or GY). Once per turn, during either players turn, you can either toss 1 coin or roll 1 Six-Sided die: Apply 1 of the following effects based on the result, and if you do, you can special summon this card from your pendulum zone:_
Heads or 1-3: Add 1 card that mentions “Archfiend” in it’s name or effects to your hand (From your deck, GY or face-up from extra deck).
Tails or 4-6: Add 1 card that mentions “Arcana” in it’s name or effects to your hand (From your deck, GY or face-up from extra deck).
Fairy//Pendulum/Effect
_(Quick Effect) Once per turn, You can discard this card: Add to your hand or activate (from your deck or GY) 1 field spell that mentions “Arcana”, ‘Archfiend”, “Coin”, “Die” or “Dice” in it’s name or effects. If a coin is tossed or a die is rolled: You can normal or special summon this card from your hand. Once per turn, during either players turn, you can either toss 1 coin or roll 1 Six-Sided die: Apply 1 of the following effects based on the result, and if you do, you can place this card you control into your pendulum zone:_
Heads or 1-3: For the rest of the turn, cards you control are unaffected by the effects of your opponents Traps and level 7 or lower monsters.
Tails or 4-6: For the rest of the turn, cards you control are unaffected by the effects of your opponents spells and level 7 or higher monsters.
ATK/2500 DEF/2500
Basically, I took the “Fiend” part of XV’s name and made it into “ARCHfiend” (So we have some cross archetype action going), I expanded it to become viable with Coins and Die/Dice at the same time (Because Archfiends had this die thing going on for a hot second), and I made it a pendulum with a lot of self-synergy…
More text than Endymion
@@Kurial94
But still a more fun card… Imagine a chaotic turn of just tossing a back accounts worth of Coins or a rolling Casino’s worth of Die for a back to back cascade of card effects?
@@Kurial94
Besides, I’m sure I could condense some stuff together in a few minutes. This being a first draft and all.
The Smile bright skill can be used in Aromage decks since you can make your LP just slightly higher than your opponent a bit easier without using a card in your hand to start combo.
Meet my family was actually fun to use when they first did 1 card/ highlander format. A you suddenly and legally had 2 copies of some cards.

If u wanna make a "top 10 best duel links skill" I hope u are seperate the character exclusive skills from the generic ones bc its pretty much clear that 90% of that list would certainly have the exclusive ones
14:04 - Technically that can be quite powerful... as long you direct attack at 4000LP, or over load LP... if it is a tributed Dino then you can use that Monach Awakens trap to become immune to other card effects... Though the drawbacks to that just like Titan Showdown are interesting.... stranger still is Konami has never updated the skill to somehow work with Link, XYZ, monsters. Yet even more randomly anything Level 7 or higher that is a DINO even just for that turn only can be chosen... wonder if that'll ever get abused.
And then there are A bond illuminates the future and Destiny effect
The worst skill I've tried was Mokuba's skill You're Powerless. It's supposed to protect your monster from being targeted by spell/trap cards. Which sounds good on paper, but what it actually does is negates a equip spell/trap to your monster and only during your Main Phase. So the only viable target for this skill is Fiendish Chain during your Main Phase after they negate your effect.🤬🤬🤬
I once dueled someone in duel links pvp where they used the paradox ability where they stared off with gat guardian on the field but they only had 500 life points. I just so happened to have gear golem the moving fortress in my opening hand & of course I FTK it with gear golem's effect.
Hey, im glad ur throat feels better. Love ur videos! I wish i could catch ur twitch streams more often, but in my timezone its just to early 😂 greetings from the other half of the world :D
First now i kinda realize GX had an lovecraftian elder god as a Villian.
And Jaden went "Radical" fighting a cosmic horror entity
I feel like Aoi has the worst skills in the game. You cannot use 1 of her Marincess skills because there arent enough water cyberse monsters in the game yet. Trickstar Trick gives your opponent a draw 3 and only at the end of their turn do they banish their entire hand. her Heart creation skill is also useless because you need to have coral anemone to even use it, and even then it cannot be used as material and only have 2 main deck marincess monsters
Another problem with that Espa Roba skill, it's better to leave the opponents cards there purely to kill their field. If they have a full back row they can't play anymore traps period, so even before accounting for Jinzo's stuff it's better to flood their field with dead cards over clearing the field if you've already locked it down. So even if Jinzo died they're stuck with w/e was already in their back row since there's no way to clear otherwise.
Bro has hello fresh sponsor but we all know on stream you order take out 👀
If i was them i would undo all nerfs on skills and allow duel links to be different and better then master duel
Have you done a best duel links skills list?
I wonder how Xyz summoning would interact with Hasselberrys skill, sure it defeats the purpose of the skill, but other cards with 'leave the field' don't trigger on Xyz summon 🤔
My guess it'll have the same rulings as Relay Soul.
i feel like trap search was printed into speed duel in the recent box set but it might have been under a different name. idk why they did that
Amazing that most of these skills have negative effects as if they would be game breaking without them
11:38 This skill doesn’t deserve a spot in my deck. But it might make a good coaster for my drink!
I was honestly yesterday just thinking that a list of worst skills in DL would be interesting.
Couple of honorable mentions:
My treasure, Blue Eyes White Dragon (Solomon Moto): Increasing the attack of Blue Eyes by 500 atk is such a minor boost and yet the restrictions to use this skill are ridiculous (you can only have 1 Blue Eyes White Dragon in your deck and no extra deck cards, thereby killing the entire reason for using Blue Eyes in the first place). Even without the restrictions there are so many better Blue Eyes skills for Kaiba that it wouldn't be worth using this one. The restrictions make this skill unusable (although I guess it makes sense within the lore that Kaibi who invents Duel Links would not want any person using Blue Eyes to have a good skill but himself).
Elements Unite (Paradox Brothers): Prior to the introduction of XYZ and later on Link monsters this would easily be a top three worst skill. Not only do you lose your entire hand but you also start with a measly 500 LP. And all to set up the materials to summon Gate Guardian, a beatstick with no effects other that it's summoning conditions. And you thought the LP boost ones were bad. However, this skill is so old that there actually aren't any restrictions of use the materials for extra deck summons, just that they can't activate their effects or attack. Heck, if only the materials were 1 level higher, you could use them to summon Coach King Gianttrainer, which could replinish your hand. As it is though, the loss of your hand and most of your LP makes it not worth it.
3:38 also, duels can only go up to 55 turns, after that the duel ends in a draw.
Reversal of fate could have been a good skill for the gx legacy duels, being able to use hanged man, but konami only allowed for right side up to be used, which made it not possible to make a deck with hanged man in it.
Finally a duel links top 10!
One with the Dinos would be fairly simple to fix... Just make the skill also give some protections to the Dinosaur monster, make it much harder or even impossible to destroy or banish by Card Effect.
kinda wish skills were added to normal yugioh as an extra deck card type, but with an activation cost and maybe a low limit to how many you can have in a deck(like just one or possibly up to three max) to make them not too insane
Top 10 Archetypes with the most support.

@@fortypercent3870 I feel that one would be in the top 3.
Some DL skills are so broken they warp entire formats, and others are making a vanilla monster with 650 attack get boosted by 200 attack once per turn
Could say the worst skills are those which are only usable in tag duel, though we never saw those skill viable other than an tag duel event
Didn’t even know life point boost delta existed. That’s wild.
Edit: ive never heard of any of these skills.
Its always funny that they usually give characters 1 really insane skill and a ton of the worst skills you've ever read
7:33 to get ultimate moth out I just use an equip spell on an insect monster and then use super cocoon of evolution to bring it out in my Weevil deck
Sadly, doing so doesn't count for the mission rewards....
Heck yeah, Duel Links content!
Very fitting Weevil has one of the worst skills

Meet My Family + Grass Looks Greener or Magical Merchant back then was fun
Actually, Road to the Pro League is not the only Assesment booster - there is KaibaCorp Bling, which increase the duel score for the Glossy cards you’ve played, on the exact same way that Pro League does.
It is however SLIGHTLY more useful simply by letting it be a Draw Sense: Foil Rarity every 2000 LP you lose.
Letting you guaranteed draw a Glossy/Prismatic/Legend Foil card during your draw phase.
Also, it is exclusive to DM Mokuba
yayyy duel links content
Jesus christ just give him a human bone, or what? You're telling me his body wouldn't reject the dino one because it was cool?
Have you done a top 10 worst archetype video?
Are you interested in the upcoming rush duels mr log?🎤
Well
Characters from yugioh gx really didn’t step up to the plate…..
LP Boost Alpha isn't bad, there is no negative to it but the 1k extra LP at best for just about every deck slightly protects against OTKs... Though it does have synergy with Aromages. Because they benefit from having more LP than your opponent, and starting with more definitely helps with that.
I'm surprised that Mokuba's Duel Masters "KaibaCorp Bling" skill didn't get honorable mention? (KaibaCorp Bling: Foil cards gets a x1.5 boost in Duel Assessment and when LP hits 2000, normal draw card can be replaced with a random foil upgraded card)
Ask some players, they'll say the worst ones are Raging Pendulum and Soul of Light and Darkness. :P
The latest ban list that's going to be put into effect soon will ensure people nobody ever plays Raging Pendulum anymore. They're putting Dragonpit Magician on Limited 3 and keeping Pendulum Call at Limited 3. There goes most of the consistency from the deck. They're also putting Shooting Riser Dragon at Limited 1 so you can't have both it and Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon.
Soul of Light and Darkness decks can be brutal, but still not as bad at Tier 0 Dark Magician, which is what we're going to have again when the new list hits. You can at least deal with BLS Ritual monsters.
sartoruis right side up is better as almost all except one is good for this i used arcana force with a few additional spells that made it easier to summon fairy monsters. If you want to have the fails use reversal of fate trap
or if light barrier is active during your turn just use that it’s actually a pretty fun deck when you have that skill and field spell as you can manipulate fate in a sense lol 😂

Surprised "The Supreme King's Soldiers" isnt on here, sure its kinda a joke skill but it gives you 1 of 7 random monsters that do NOT work together, best case is using it in a Demise King of Armageddon Deck for a 2/7 chance of either getting Demise or Chaos Sorc
There needs to be a "Best Duel Links Skills" video next, so people can set skills around certain characters decks to improve their playtime.
even with out the 50 turn draw limit. it would never get the opponent down to 1000 with out extending the game, the opponent would deck out before it happens even is the only thing that happend to the deck was the draw phase draw.
