Haha, Ghoti, like the forbidden spelling I knew I saw a video about that somewhere Gh makes the F sound, as in "Enough" O makes the I sound, like in "Women" TI makes the SH sound, like in "Nation"
7:86 What makes Big Jaws even more disappointing is that its anime effect was a pretty okay extender, special summoning itself from hand when you activate a normal spell card.
Should have resummoned itself from banishment when opponent is dealt damage or paid life points (like how a shark can smell a drop of blood in water a mile away)
I’m pretty sure it didn’t have the banishment penalty either, which made it extra busted; that’s probably why Konami slapped that on the card game version, but it’s crazy they didn’t bother giving it that extender
Misairuzame is actually REALLY good in Kairyu-Shin decks. It’s a Level 5 Normal Monster that’s summonable by Marincess, Abyss Keeper and many of the support cards you’d already be playing. This makes it great for Xyz plays and Link climbing
Without the context of Yugioh monster types, that video title sounds like it was made by a man having a fit of rage after getting fired from an aquarium after the clown fish ratted him out to the manager after catching him pocketing some shark teeth from the gift shop.
"Before that, what did the Fish have? Mako Tsunami? White Aura Dolphin?" Actually, the White Aura monsters were from the Arc-V manga, so they came after Zexal's Sharks.
@13:35 Trap Hole doesn't stop special summons, you're thinking of bottomless. Misairuzame is a Chaos-End Master target, which a lot of other normal Fish are not
Flying Fish always confused me as a kid. I thought there had to be a reason it was so bad and still a 4 star monster, like maybe there was an equip spell card that only worked on it to make it stronger but no it just sucked to suck
Sometimes the fun part of Yugioh is finding SOME card combo that makes that particular card stand out or work (I call them "Flying Elephant duels" out of respect for Flying Elephant having arguably the most rediculous alt win condition that's a serious spectacle to see pulled off in a legit game), but alas, there are some cards that no matter how you look at it, it's objectively worse than everything else, either due to there literally being no support to take advantage of it's unique set up or the fact that any combo you do for that card is in all ways outclassed by another card. Heck even having less than 1500 attack power IS a benefit because some cards can special summon or search monsters with less than 1500 attack (like Sangen) so having like 1550 attack power is actually far worse than 1500. And like Duellogs said, if you build your deck around banishing monsters, the banish effect can actually generate interesting advantage, since very few cards interact with the banish zone, even self inflicted. But yeah, some cards like Dark Artist are just worse than bad...as after all, Normal monsters have a TON of useful support that can lead to easier XYZ plays (Gladiator Beast Andal is arguably one of the most useful because you run Rescue Rabbit or Unexpected Dai, you have a guaranteed opening SIMPLY because it's a glad beast. Plus it has above average attack for a level 4 at 1900 with decent defense. Glad beasts are one of the most well thought out archetypes, though it had to be given your entire DECK is your hand...XD Yes I main them.)
I will always love the WIND Banish Fish/Aqua/Sea Serpent cards for no other reason than I love how strange they are. They have such an anime gimmicky play style despite never being used in any media. I don’t even think any generic characters use them in video games. It’s one of those “this deck is so bad, but I am having fun casually using it” decks for me.
Imagine someone new to the channel seeing that title and thinking he's gonna be watching a ranking video about seafood. Number 1: The Krill. Just Whales eat it doesn't mean you should.
Hearing you talk about Ghoti was pretty informative for me because that is my favorite deck. It may not be competitively sound, but playing Ghoti of the Deep Beyond will never get old!
Terrorking Salmon used to even have a tiny niche back in the day where you could normal summon it for free if you had Legendary Ocean. No idea if that ever saw competitive play or anything, but beating Jinzo and Summoned Skull for no tributes was definitely something
My little brother saw some of your videos on TV because my youtube account is on it and it made him somewhat get into Yu Gi Oh but hes still too young to understand the rules and playing with him is the funniest thing ever, i cant explain to him that MST doesnt negate spell cards 😂
Well even in the early days requrining a 2 turn set up is bad because of the plethora of spells and traps that could stop you dead. It's just the game was slow enough that you were more likely to pull off the 2 turns of set up or make a comeback after your plan failed. The problem is how unbalanced the consistency is. I will say in Duel links, about half the duels end on the first turn and half of them can go on to the later turns IF your opponent counters your strategies well enough and vice versa. It's also about 50/50 that you'll be the one finishing the duel turn one due to the opponent drawing a bad hand, or you losing turn one due to drawing a bad hand. The problem with the state of the game though is that some decks are so ultra consistent AND powerful with thier comboes that there's literally no reason to play anything else. Most of the failed archetypes aren't bad because they're just bad, but a lot of them are bad because "another deck is better" or a "stronger deck" got their main play maker banned. and while you could just "build your deck to counter the meta" most top players already do that by countering "Meta" with "other meta", cause of how ludicris the effects of new monsters are AND the entire Link mechanic having NO innate weakness like the other mechanics do.... so nothing stopping you from linking off a poisoned monster (I guess being forced in attack IS a weakness, but it also negates cards that force it to defense mode, where EVERY other card would be destroyed or worse if the effect went off, like sending an Extra deck monster back to the "hand" will result in it going back to the extra deck, a far worse punishment than the graveyard. So why do Links get a free pass when book of moon'd?) Links need a weakness.... fortuantely Duel links was careful to only add weaker link cards and the smaller board and slower game pace makes it harder to make good use of the more powerful generic boss monsters. So you don't really see Link monsters nullifying every strategy. and finally, We got the reset with Rush Duel and it is fantastic! It's basically classic yugioh but WAY faster paced and it's a lot of fun. You can play a variant of it in Duel Links, the most accessable form of it if you're not living in Japan.
@MarioMastar Every time I try to get back into the game, I bump into a guy who takes 10+ minutes for his first turn, and if I don't have a hand trap to stop him thr games over. Games are simultaneously much shorter and much longer, and I just don't find it fun anymore. We're in a state where field spells are so broken we need searchers for them banned. And the game is balanced around your opponents ability to stop your plays before you make them. But since thats so strong they make your plays game winning on turn one Not to mention most decks nowadays cost upwards of 600 dollars. I made an IRL yubel deck recently, and between pulls and buying individual cards it was easily 400 dollars. And it woulda been more if I bought the $120 staple card every viable deck needs. I've played yugioh for more than 15 years now. And the way the game is now just has killed all my joy for it. I legit want to see something like how pokemon does it now. Just make a new set and rebalance it all
That's why they lay their eggs in the pitch dark and then disappear. Heck fish don't even mate, they just dump all the eggs and the male hits them all later.
Thousand Eyes Jelly fish could actually do some damage with Contract with Don Thousand on the field and a Simorgh, but at that point you might as well just do a normal Simorgh lockdown.
9:14 Idea to retrain Torpedo Fish to make it selectively immune to any one card type of your opponent’s: _Armor Piercing Torpedo Fish_ (WATER) Level 3 Fish/Effect _Once per turn (Quick Effect), You can declare 1 card type (Monster/Spell/Trap): Until the next time this effect is activated, this card is unaffected by opponent’s cards of the declared type, and also, while “Umi” is face-up on the field, this card gains one of the following effects depending on that declared type._ _Monster: This card can attack directly._ _Spell: If you would Tribute or Ritual Summon an Aqua, Fish or Sea Serpent monster using monsters as tributes, you can use this card as the entire tribute._ _Trap: If a monster you control inflicts battle or effect damage to your opponent, you can add 1 Spell/Trap to to your hand that mentions “Umi” in its name or text._ ATK/1000 DEF/1000
Do never ever make fun of crazy fish or great white. Put some respect on em- especially great white. A 1600 4 star beater that was a viable alternative in earliest formats! I looove root water btw
24:29 Idea for an Xyz retrain of this card: _Fortress Whale Fleet_ (WATER) Rank 7 Pendulum Scales: 0⬅️➡️0 _The following effects are applied while this card is Face-Up on the field:_ _●Aqua, Fish and Sea Serpent monsters you control gain ATK equal to their original DEF, and DEF equal to their original ATK._ _●If an Aqua, Fish and Sea Serpent Monster you control attacks a Defense position monster, inflict piercing battle damage._ _●If an Aqua, Fish or Sea Serpent monster you control attacks and destroys a monster by battle, it can attack again in a row._ _●Aqua, Fish and Sea Serpent monsters you control can attack while in face-up Defense Position. If it does, apply its ATK or DEF for damage calculation (Your Choice)._ Fish/Xyz/Pendulum/Effect 2+ Level 7 monsters _If you control “Umi”, you can also Xyz summon this card (From your Pendulum Zone or Extra Deck, Face-up or Facedown) using 3 or more Aqua, Fish and/or Sea Serpent monsters you control with equal Levels/Ranks/Links as materials (Transfer their materials to this card.) During the end phase of each player’s turn, declare 1 card type (Monster/Spell/Trap): Until the End Phase of next turn, any cards of the declared type that would be sent to the GY or Banished are instead attached to this card. This card can make additional attacks per battle phase equal to the number of materials attached to it. If this card with 3 or more materials would leave the field, you can place it in your Pendulum Zone instead._ ATK/2350 DEF/2150
I find ghoti to be super underrated. When they go off they go crazy (as long as you built the deck right). That's the thing though they need to go off. They struggle in consistency and since theirs not technically any real one card combos the deck isn't too hard to stop with handtraps. That being said they are great (WHEN THEY WORK) against tenpai. Seeing as deep can banish the entire board field spell dragons and all. In an ideal board you can easily end on a spell or trap negate, full ghoti line, banish and destruction protection with an extra banish from ice jade, and a pop that keeps coming back with Kragen. Its rather good and very fun.
17:56 I have an Idea to make this card a Gemini/Tuner retrain (Because this typing combo doesn’t actually exist yet in the real game, and I’m thinking there could be some interesting combos with one) _High-Flying Fish_ (WIND) Level 4 Fish/Gemini/Tuner/Effect _This card is treated as a Normal Monster while face-up on the field or in the GY. While this card is a Normal Monster on the field, you can Normal Summon it to have it become an Effect Monster with these effects. ●If this card you control is used as Synchro Material, you can treat it as a non-Tuner. ●While you control this Face-Up card, The Field is treated as both “Umi” and “The Sanctuary in the Sky”. ●You can declare the name of 1 Gemini or Tuner monster you own (Quick Effect): Pay LP equal to that declared monster’s Original ATK/DEF; Special Summon it (From your hand or deck.) ATK/800 DEF/500
Ballad of the Wind Fish destroyed an entire island from existence. They just haven't released the card that pairs perfectly with it. It'll come...it'll come.
23:12 Idea to make this card an equip spell support card: _Infinite Ordinance Missile Shark_ (WATER) Level 4 Fish/Tuner/Effect _Can Only be Summoned while “Umi” is on the field. If this card you control is used as Synchro Material, you can treat it as a non-Tuner. You can discard this card from your hand (Quick Effect): Avtivate 1 Equip Spell from your hand, deck, GY or Banishment. Can make additional attacks per battle phase equal to the number of Equip Spells equipped to this card. If this card attacks a Defense Position Monster, inflict Piercing Battle Damage to your Opponent. This card can attack while in face-up Defense Position. If it does, apply its ATK or DEF for damage calculation (Your Choice). If “Umi” is not face-up on the field, Destroy this card._ ATK/3000 DEF/3000
13:15 Idea to make this card a better generic Fish Fusion: _Ghoti-Eating White Shark_ (WATER) Level 5 Fish/Fusion/Tuner/Effect 3+ Monsters (Aqua, Fish and/or Sea Serpent) _While you control “Umi”, You can also Special Summon this card by tributing the above Face-Up cards you control (This is treated as a Fusion Summon.) If this card attacks and destroys an opponent’s monster by battle, it can attack again in a row. If this card you control is used as Synchro Material, you can treat it as a non-Tuner. If an Aqua, Fish, and/or Sea Serpent Monster(s) you own would be sent to the GY or Banished, you can equip it to this card instead. Once per turn (Quick Effect), you can Fusion, Synchro, Xyz or Link Summon 1 monster from your extra deck, using this card and/or any cards that are equipped to it by it’s own effect as materials._ ATK/2100 DEF/1300
I have a master duel deck built around the ghoti. The deck does have a good portion of other fish in the deck, but within a week the deck pushed me up from bronze v to gold iv, but can confirm guoglim is the more useless synchro.
Misairuzame is a level 5 with less than 1500 atk, so it can be cheated out with Mother Grizzly. It's not great, but it's not useless, and there are definitely worse fish out there.
I can't wait for Top 10 Worst Sea Serpents so I can watch Mr. Logs talk about one of my favorite sets of cards, Click & Echo and Imairuka. Though, I'm surprised Minairuka dodged this list.
I have to disagree on Man-Eating Black Shark. Before the retrain it was the best target for instant fusion when using water rank 5 decks, which was relevant for No. 94 Crystalzero which you could overlay with Full Armored Crystalzero Lancer! I think I used it in a DES Frog OTK deck where if I didn't get the OTK, the rank 5 water plays were a nice 2nd wincon
I'm surprised Submersible Carrier Aero Shark isn't here. A rank 3 that has a detach for burn damage based on the number of your banished monsters. And it's 100 points of damage for each, having to make a deck that forces a specific situation or play against a deck that focuses on banishing your cards. It's a bad rank 3 that is easily replaced. Oh did I mention this card is a once per turn. The Anime effect is way more useful, detach a material for a 200 point burn for every card in your own hand at a once per turn.
It's not on the list because it has arguably the coolest artwork and summoning animation in the entire series! XD Sadly it's even worse in Duel LInks where it does a paltry 50 burn damage....in all my years of dueling, that situation where 50 life points was the only thing keeping my opponent alive came up ONCE....and I finished them off next turn anyway (I don't remember how they got to 50). But yeah, seeing those double sharks swimming up the screen as Shark calls them out is almost up there with Superdreadnaught Cannon Train Gustav Max in terms of awesome name and presentation. Shame they're on the opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of usefulness....
Dear lord they nerfed such a cool card to the ground. It's anime effect would have been cool, I'd love to see decks pulling some situational combos where they get themselves a ton of cards in hand just to inflict heavy damage to the opp. It would even be a gimmicky way to punish your opponent if you happen to survive Maxx C challenge.
Pretty sure the strat with Big Jaws is to promote Rank 3 XYZ summons. It has good stats for a level 3, but its effect discourages you from attacking, so it’s supposed to just sit there and look pretty for a turn or 2 until you get another level 3 on the board. It also came out during the early days of the XYZ era.
Poor Great White. 1600 for a 4-star beater was SO CLOSE TO ACCEPTABLE back when it came out. Just 100 more and it would have been a reasonable (if not spectacular) card.
Honestly, Misairuzame may have gotten a bad rep; Its 1600 DEF means it isn't STRICTLY worse than many of the other fish you listed. Anyway, neat analysis video! Thanks for uploading!
if they did some kind of Ritual archetype that was based around using ANY of the old normal rituals rather than just specific ones like Nox/Voiceless Vox or Hungry Burger archetype, I think original Fortress Whale could possibly, maybe? see play? haha. It's probably the only thing I can think of
To be fair Misairuzame can be good really because his 1400 atk, with Mother Grizzly you can Float into him and using Inferno Reckless summon you can have 3 Level 5 bodies on field to use as XYZ or other extra deck Simmons, I Know is situational and Inferno Reckless Simmons from your oponent too, but It is a strategy to use him (and, on Duelists of the Roses, It is One of the easiest Monsters If you want a Fish Deckleader because It is a Fusion with a Fish and a Machine, Marine Beast needs specifically Crazy Fish and a Beast).
Actually, the fusion materials for Marine Beast in that game are Rare Fish and an aqua card. It's Rare Fish you're thinking of that needs a beast material: more specifically, you need a beast + a fish, and one of them needs 1350+ attack. I know this because I specifically chose Marine Beast as my fish deck leader to rank up because it was the only level 5 fish fusion that had 1500+ attack, meaning that with a specific setup, you can potentially prevent your opponent from playing anything while you grind ranks for your DL, since your opponent will want to play the strongest monster they can, but won't if they can only play in on a crush terrain tile
@@matthewkuscienko4616 well, I Think Misairuzame is Better for a Deck Leader because It is easy to Fusion because don't need specific materials, only fish and Machine.
The funny thing about Torax is that is was so close to being great. If It's on summon effect was to draw a card and could do what every else does in the archtype and tag out properly it probably would have seen some use.
Please make a “failed cards, etc.” video on Naturia! Or the seal of orichalcos cards! Also, how about a “top 10 cards NEVER restricted in any way, but were widely considered to be hit on a banlist” (ex. Dante) (Also video #13 where duel logs doesnt read his comments)
Man eating black shark may require three fusion materials but rare fish is a fusion that needs an existing fusion as a material which makes it extra bad unless you’re using instant fusion or whatever to cheated out but if you need a body on the board that bad there are other better things to summon
Terrible vanilla Fusions and Rituals to me are like early world building in Yu-Gi-Oh! showing there is very good and very bad etc. This said I remember pulling a Flying Fish as a kid and being so confused, I’ve always wished that the levels made a bit more sense for instance the new card Mulcharmy Purulia has 100 ATK and 600 DEF but is a level 4
I loved the artwork of Misairuzame as a Kid, but was very disappointed not being able to use it in any duels. I would keep it with me, not trading it, but wouldn’t use it my deck either. :(
I like how it doesn't specify monsters, or even yugioh cards. Just straight up Mr Logs' most hated fish.
Imagine if they all just happen to coincidentally also be yugioh cards except like "number 4, the common bass. Fuck this guy"
"And for Number 7 we have the fish that you don't really see that often, it's the Blobfish."
(This was just the first fish I thought of)
"And at number one on the list of worst fish, we have that spiky little Amazon fish that swims up your peehole..."
"And at number one, we have my neighbor Josh, you won't get away with throwing trash in my alleyway"
Never specified that Tetrapods are excluded from the list either, and all land vertebrates are taxonomically fish as well

I kind of expected Fish Lamp to show up for being the very first FIRE FISH after all these years.
God, I hate that Yugioh is in a place where a deck is bad because it needs 2 turns to set up.
This game needs a full reset
Well even in the early days requrining a 2 turn set up is bad because of the plethora of spells and traps that could stop you dead. It's just the game was slow enough that you were more likely to pull off the 2 turns of set up or make a comeback after your plan failed. The problem is how unbalanced the consistency is.

As a guy that uses fish monsters in my main deck I love this video. Power to the fish!!
Misairuzame DOES go with Sea Stealth Attack, so it has niche use in rogue anti-meta decks.
Number 1: the blobfish. A fish so ugly, not even a mother could love it
That's why they lay their eggs in the pitch dark and then disappear. Heck fish don't even mate, they just dump all the eggs and the male hits them all later.
You should check out a picture of a blobfish at depth/pressure -- they look normal!
What, Flying Fish in number 4?!
¿Pero que te hizo mi pobre pejelagarto volador?
No le sabe a los momos
White Aura Dolphin was actually introduced in the Arc-V manga - making it post-ZEXAL. So yeah, pre-ZEXAL fish were pretty underwhelming.
Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth predates ZEXAL, so at least there's that.
Thousand Eyes Jelly fish could actually do some damage with Contract with Don Thousand on the field and a Simorgh, but at that point you might as well just do a normal Simorgh lockdown.
Giving a ritual monster as your prize in Battle City is a true power move 🐋
9:14 Idea to retrain Torpedo Fish to make it selectively immune to any one card type of your opponent’s:
_Armor Piercing Torpedo Fish_ (WATER)
Level 3
Fish/Effect
_Once per turn (Quick Effect), You can declare 1 card type (Monster/Spell/Trap): Until the next time this effect is activated, this card is unaffected by opponent’s cards of the declared type, and also, while “Umi” is face-up on the field, this card gains one of the following effects depending on that declared type._
_Monster: This card can attack directly._
_Spell: If you would Tribute or Ritual Summon an Aqua, Fish or Sea Serpent monster using monsters as tributes, you can use this card as the entire tribute._
_Trap: If a monster you control inflicts battle or effect damage to your opponent, you can add 1 Spell/Trap to to your hand that mentions “Umi” in its name or text._
ATK/1000 DEF/1000
Do never ever make fun of crazy fish or great white. Put some respect on em- especially great white. A 1600 4 star beater that was a viable alternative in earliest formats!
I looove root water btw
20:06 Zapper shrimp joins the game.
The dry humor of those videos extends to the great deeps and beyond and this point.
24:29 Idea for an Xyz retrain of this card:
_Fortress Whale Fleet_ (WATER)
Rank 7
Pendulum Scales: 0⬅️➡️0
_The following effects are applied while this card is Face-Up on the field:_
_●Aqua, Fish and Sea Serpent monsters you control gain ATK equal to their original DEF, and DEF equal to their original ATK._
_●If an Aqua, Fish and Sea Serpent Monster you control attacks a Defense position monster, inflict piercing battle damage._
_●If an Aqua, Fish or Sea Serpent monster you control attacks and destroys a monster by battle, it can attack again in a row._
_●Aqua, Fish and Sea Serpent monsters you control can attack while in face-up Defense Position. If it does, apply its ATK or DEF for damage calculation (Your Choice)._
Fish/Xyz/Pendulum/Effect
2+ Level 7 monsters
_If you control “Umi”, you can also Xyz summon this card (From your Pendulum Zone or Extra Deck, Face-up or Facedown) using 3 or more Aqua, Fish and/or Sea Serpent monsters you control with equal Levels/Ranks/Links as materials (Transfer their materials to this card.) During the end phase of each player’s turn, declare 1 card type (Monster/Spell/Trap): Until the End Phase of next turn, any cards of the declared type that would be sent to the GY or Banished are instead attached to this card. This card can make additional attacks per battle phase equal to the number of materials attached to it. If this card with 3 or more materials would leave the field, you can place it in your Pendulum Zone instead._
ATK/2350 DEF/2150
I find ghoti to be super underrated. When they go off they go crazy (as long as you built the deck right). That's the thing though they need to go off. They struggle in consistency and since theirs not technically any real one card combos the deck isn't too hard to stop with handtraps. That being said they are great (WHEN THEY WORK) against tenpai. Seeing as deep can banish the entire board field spell dragons and all. In an ideal board you can easily end on a spell or trap negate, full ghoti line, banish and destruction protection with an extra banish from ice jade, and a pop that keeps coming back with Kragen. Its rather good and very fun.
17:56 I have an Idea to make this card a Gemini/Tuner retrain (Because this typing combo doesn’t actually exist yet in the real game, and I’m thinking there could be some interesting combos with one)
_High-Flying Fish_ (WIND)
Level 4
Fish/Gemini/Tuner/Effect
_This card is treated as a Normal Monster while face-up on the field or in the GY. While this card is a Normal Monster on the field, you can Normal Summon it to have it become an Effect Monster with these effects.
●If this card you control is used as Synchro Material, you can treat it as a non-Tuner.
●While you control this Face-Up card, The Field is treated as both “Umi” and “The Sanctuary in the Sky”.
●You can declare the name of 1 Gemini or Tuner monster you own (Quick Effect): Pay LP equal to that declared monster’s Original ATK/DEF; Special Summon it (From your hand or deck.)
ATK/800 DEF/500
Ojamas you could beat on a fist fight list when
I liked the anime counterpart of Big Jaws due to how it'll be Special summoned when activating a Normal Spell
Flying Fish is the single most broken card in the TCG! The disrespect shown will not stand!
Ballad of the Wind Fish destroyed an entire island from existence. They just haven't released the card that pairs perfectly with it. It'll come...it'll come.
I think it’d be pretty cool to have a Thousand Eyes archetype based around getting to see face down cards, with monsters covered in eyes
23:12 Idea to make this card an equip spell support card:
_Infinite Ordinance Missile Shark_ (WATER)
Level 4
Fish/Tuner/Effect
_Can Only be Summoned while “Umi” is on the field. If this card you control is used as Synchro Material, you can treat it as a non-Tuner. You can discard this card from your hand (Quick Effect): Avtivate 1 Equip Spell from your hand, deck, GY or Banishment. Can make additional attacks per battle phase equal to the number of Equip Spells equipped to this card. If this card attacks a Defense Position Monster, inflict Piercing Battle Damage to your Opponent. This card can attack while in face-up Defense Position. If it does, apply its ATK or DEF for damage calculation (Your Choice). If “Umi” is not face-up on the field, Destroy this card._
ATK/3000 DEF/3000
13:15 Idea to make this card a better generic Fish Fusion:
_Ghoti-Eating White Shark_ (WATER)
Level 5
Fish/Fusion/Tuner/Effect
3+ Monsters (Aqua, Fish and/or Sea Serpent)
_While you control “Umi”, You can also Special Summon this card by tributing the above Face-Up cards you control (This is treated as a Fusion Summon.) If this card attacks and destroys an opponent’s monster by battle, it can attack again in a row. If this card you control is used as Synchro Material, you can treat it as a non-Tuner. If an Aqua, Fish, and/or Sea Serpent Monster(s) you own would be sent to the GY or Banished, you can equip it to this card instead. Once per turn (Quick Effect), you can Fusion, Synchro, Xyz or Link Summon 1 monster from your extra deck, using this card and/or any cards that are equipped to it by it’s own effect as materials._
ATK/2100 DEF/1300
Doesn't follow the ghoti naming scheme, invalid(I'm joking, pretty cool concept)
i love how ghoti is basically sounds that make the word fish
Fortress Whale was always one of my favourite monsters. Citadel Whale was my favourite deck in Duel Links.
While not competitive fortress of darkness and its torpedo fish are fun
I have a master duel deck built around the ghoti. The deck does have a good portion of other fish in the deck, but within a week the deck pushed me up from bronze v to gold iv, but can confirm guoglim is the more useless synchro.
So you're just a freaky fish guy?
@@roncerjani9063 I guess so?
17:34 that "King of Lame" dig was way funnier than it had any right to be 😆
Misairuzame is a level 5 with less than 1500 atk, so it can be cheated out with Mother Grizzly. It's not great, but it's not useless, and there are definitely worse fish out there.
I can't wait for Top 10 Worst Sea Serpents so I can watch Mr. Logs talk about one of my favorite sets of cards, Click & Echo and Imairuka. Though, I'm surprised Minairuka dodged this list.
back in the day my friend had a fish deck that also used rescue rabbit+flying fish to make lightning chidori
I have to disagree on Man-Eating Black Shark.
Before the retrain it was the best target for instant fusion when using water rank 5 decks, which was relevant for No. 94 Crystalzero which you could overlay with Full Armored Crystalzero Lancer!
I think I used it in a DES Frog OTK deck where if I didn't get the OTK, the rank 5 water plays were a nice 2nd wincon
Granted with ready fusion now it is definitely the worst of the level 5 fish fusions if you're not counting cards being better in the past
The way you said “if I missed your favorite” surprised me.
I'm surprised Submersible Carrier Aero Shark isn't here. A rank 3 that has a detach for burn damage based on the number of your banished monsters. And it's 100 points of damage for each, having to make a deck that forces a specific situation or play against a deck that focuses on banishing your cards. It's a bad rank 3 that is easily replaced. Oh did I mention this card is a once per turn. The Anime effect is way more useful, detach a material for a 200 point burn for every card in your own hand at a once per turn.
It's not on the list because it has arguably the coolest artwork and summoning animation in the entire series! XD
Sadly it's even worse in Duel LInks where it does a paltry 50 burn damage....in all my years of dueling, that situation where 50 life points was the only thing keeping my opponent alive came up ONCE....and I finished them off next turn anyway (I don't remember how they got to 50). But yeah, seeing those double sharks swimming up the screen as Shark calls them out is almost up there with Superdreadnaught Cannon Train Gustav Max in terms of awesome name and presentation. Shame they're on the opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of usefulness....
Dear lord they nerfed such a cool card to the ground. It's anime effect would have been cool, I'd love to see decks pulling some situational combos where they get themselves a ton of cards in hand just to inflict heavy damage to the opp. It would even be a gimmicky way to punish your opponent if you happen to survive Maxx C challenge.
Big jaw: *doesn't habe an effect in the anime"
Konami: "all right, it's time to turn this card into a complete garbage for Absolutely no reason!"
He woke up and chose violence against fishes
Guoglim was a part of the second wave of Ghoti in DABL, POTE had the first (including Ghoti of the Deep Beyond and Shif, which you pictured)
Pretty sure the strat with Big Jaws is to promote Rank 3 XYZ summons. It has good stats for a level 3, but its effect discourages you from attacking, so it’s supposed to just sit there and look pretty for a turn or 2 until you get another level 3 on the board. It also came out during the early days of the XYZ era.
Poor Great White. 1600 for a 4-star beater was SO CLOSE TO ACCEPTABLE back when it came out. Just 100 more and it would have been a reasonable (if not spectacular) card.
I had Flying Fish. That was back when 7 Colored Fish had been out for a while...so...yeah...
Saw the prompt and immediately thought of Flying Fish. Bane of my pack cracking as a kid.
Honestly, Misairuzame may have gotten a bad rep; Its 1600 DEF means it isn't STRICTLY worse than many of the other fish you listed.
Anyway, neat analysis video! Thanks for uploading!
I'm really happy Fortress Whale got a retrain, the idea was pretty fun despite the OG monster. Hope they do the same for Orca Mega Fortress.
My favourite deck in LOTD:LE is "White Waters" which focuses on the White Aura monsters
if they did some kind of Ritual archetype that was based around using ANY of the old normal rituals rather than just specific ones like Nox/Voiceless Vox or Hungry Burger archetype, I think original Fortress Whale could possibly, maybe? see play? haha. It's probably the only thing I can think of
for now I'll just keep it in my Turbo rituals Duel links deck and soup it up with a bunch of Idatens
It always irked me that dolphins and whales and the like were Fish-Type.
They should be Beasts.
Or at least Aqua.
Ghoti is more like deepsea jellyfish over actual fish. But hey it still a fish in the end.
Big Jaws has a very different from what we have here in the anime it can special summon itself from the hand after an activation of spell card
11:07 You may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like!
I saw askaan in the title and we were about to throw hands 😂 i love Guaglim's design so much but yeah, terrible card lol
To be fair Misairuzame can be good really because his 1400 atk, with Mother Grizzly you can Float into him and using Inferno Reckless summon you can have 3 Level 5 bodies on field to use as XYZ or other extra deck Simmons, I Know is situational and Inferno Reckless Simmons from your oponent too, but It is a strategy to use him (and, on Duelists of the Roses, It is One of the easiest Monsters If you want a Fish Deckleader because It is a Fusion with a Fish and a Machine, Marine Beast needs specifically Crazy Fish and a Beast).
Actually, the fusion materials for Marine Beast in that game are Rare Fish and an aqua card. It's Rare Fish you're thinking of that needs a beast material: more specifically, you need a beast + a fish, and one of them needs 1350+ attack. I know this because I specifically chose Marine Beast as my fish deck leader to rank up because it was the only level 5 fish fusion that had 1500+ attack, meaning that with a specific setup, you can potentially prevent your opponent from playing anything while you grind ranks for your DL, since your opponent will want to play the strongest monster they can, but won't if they can only play in on a crush terrain tile
@@matthewkuscienko4616 well, I Think Misairuzame is Better for a Deck Leader because It is easy to Fusion because don't need specific materials, only fish and Machine.
if i didnt see TDL here i'd think the algorithm is messing with me
because i've been in the mood for sushi or grilled fish since like last wednesday
The funny thing about Torax is that is was so close to being great. If It's on summon effect was to draw a card and could do what every else does in the archtype and tag out properly it probably would have seen some use.
Earth Fish. It’s a level 4 vanilla EARTH fish with 1200 attack and zero defense.
Soul Eater, if I'm not mistaken. But Flying Fish is still overall worse, let's not kid ourselves
@@matthewkuscienko4616 Yeah, I forgot to put the name. True, but it still deserves to be on the list. I never said it was the worst.
"Fusion monsters that requre 3+ materials justify the absurd cost with an absurd effect"
"Elemental HERO Divine Neos"
*are you sure about that*
You know what that means?... *Heavy terrified breathing*... FISH
Konami should do something crazy Make extremely powerful fish cards that would become the meta
Then everyone will become a freaky fish guy !!
That Top 10 Worst Spellcasters list is still waiting to be born. As is the Top 10 Worst Warriors, but that's a lot cards to go through.
video idea: Top 10 monsters that can special summon other copies of themselves. Examples would be Destiny Hero Malicious and Fluffal Mouse
Please make a “failed cards, etc.” video on Naturia! Or the seal of orichalcos cards! Also, how about a “top 10 cards NEVER restricted in any way, but were widely considered to be hit on a banlist” (ex. Dante)
(Also video #13 where duel logs doesnt read his comments)
The problem with that is that Naturia is good since its boss monsters are fairly generic with easy levels.
@@thewanderingmistnull2451 that doesnt make them good, that just makes the boss monsters good
I can’t wait for TheLoreLogs Channel when Lorcana gets big enough
fly fang and its series is interesting, its like a spirit but for banished
Man eating black shark may require three fusion materials but rare fish is a fusion that needs an existing fusion as a material which makes it extra bad unless you’re using instant fusion or whatever to cheated out but if you need a body on the board that bad there are other better things to summon
Terrible vanilla Fusions and Rituals to me are like early world building in Yu-Gi-Oh! showing there is very good and very bad etc.
This said I remember pulling a Flying Fish as a kid and being so confused, I’ve always wished that the levels made a bit more sense for instance the new card Mulcharmy Purulia has 100 ATK and 600 DEF but is a level 4
17:49 PEJELAGARTO VOLADOR!
Looks like they hired some Duel Masters designers for the Ghoti archetype.
I loved the artwork of Misairuzame as a Kid, but was very disappointed not being able to use it in any duels. I would keep it with me, not trading it, but wouldn’t use it my deck either. :(
Ghottis are the living definition of "You Ghotti be kidding me"
