Top 10 Equip Spells (no banned cards) Top 10 Cards to use with lair of darkness Top 10 cards that tribute your opponent's monsters(s) (kaijus count as one entry)
Number 7 lucky straight with number 61 pair-a-dice smasher The linkage is already there, number 61 treat dice rolls as 7. Couple of rank up cards / xyz summoning spell that can summon number 7 whilst number 61 is on the field, and also rolls a dice. Gimmick synergy but could work.
Would love to see a part two of cards that are surprisingly good in Duel Links or if there isn't any/many new cards that qualify maybe do an updated version of the first one.
I adore using Piercing the Darkness in my Dark Magician deck purely for opponents realizing too late what types of cards that latter effect still applies to. It not being searchable is a bit of a bummer, but that does at least mean more versatility.
Top 10 Archetype that aged extremely well. With Powercreep being a thing I think that we should give attention to the decks that stood the test of time. An Archetype receives a higher place on the list the older the archetype is, and can still keep up with the best of them.
How do we define "aged well" tho? Do we count their newer support? if so, then, doesn't that means that aged badly enough to needed support to keep up?
@@chrisb.2028 They way that would define it is that the Archetype it question has managed to perform without any support, or before getting any support. But that is only how I personally do myself. Honestly the subject be open to interpretation.
Just a quick note, Resonance Insect's effect cannot be activated by Giant Ballpark, it needs to be sent from the field to the GY to activate and resolve its effects.
yeah fair, I think the script writer probably meant it could be sent to set it up to be banished since a lot of insect support banishes insects from the GY for effect.
One of my favorite monsters to summon using "Advanced Ritual Art" is Lycanthrope. If you use 6 level 1 normal monsters to summon him, he'll inflict 1200 effect damage every time he inflicts battle damage. He may not be good, but he's fun.
I want to see TheDuelLogs try that gimmick strategy now, especially after how many times he said Lycanthrope is a garbage card, despite loving to play garbage cards.
I cant thank enough how crucial summoners art is, as a Qli player. From being additional 3 copies of scout, backup plan in case Extravagance got ashed, and finally, add monolith before go full pend attack 😅
Ive been using Piercing the Darkness in my Red-eyes deck practically since it was released in the tcg, really does help with it's lack of draw power outside of allure
I played the Beetrooper Deck in the Master Duel Event a while back, so I am VERY well aware of the abuseable power of Gokipole and can say with confidence that if Ballpark wasn't restricted to the Battle Phase then, well, if it never saw the Banned List, well, I don't know what to say! Speaking of Master Duel, I was playing my Red-Eyes Burndown a while back for the Xyz Summon Daily Challenge, as I simply needed a third Xyz Summon, so decided on Flare Metal Dragon, like I usually do and came across someone playing Dark Magician WITH Piercing the Darkness! He got it on the Field and Dark Magician out and I was left wondering what to do about it exactly, hoping as I do for a Stamping Destruction, when he switched his Dark Magician into Defence Position while I still had two big Dragons on the Field... I won in a couple more Turns... "If you'd kept that thing in Attack Position, it would've given me a headache! Thanks for making my job easier! Idiot!"
Was it you who FTK'ed me a while back with a Beetrooper deck on Master Duel? My deck is Max Chaos Dragon, so its probable I bricked in the first turn, and just left the field wide open. First time encountering that card, and I was like.. this is broken, lol. But at suck at dueling so I find almost anything broken lol?
@@bajofondo3805 Unless it was in that Event, then no, as I may have copied the Recipe, but I don't have all the cards in the game I need in order to run it outside of there as yet! It was a while back, mind, so unless you have a replay somewhere, though, I wouldn't blame you if you didn't! I did manage to get some pretty crazy plays with the prebuilt one, though, as bad as it was! There was potential there, so I copied it and have been working on it both in game and in real life as, with playing for 16 years now, I know I can do better, I even have most of the cards I need for it as well! Kaiju, anyone?
As someone who loves the Magikey archetype, I did play less of it when Halq got banned in MD with no good alternative to it to go to Accesscode. Also, the Earth Normal Monster I use isn't Gene-Warped Warwolf. It's Angel Trumpeter. As a small payoff of 100 ATK points, it's a Tuner, so if I don't have Mafteal (and for a while, Mafteal wasn't in MD), I could still Synchro to the Magikey Synchro or to Final Sigma. Also, Piercing the Darkness is my favorite Spell card of all time because of Magikey. It just works!
As a metalfoes player it's so nice that I can basically run 3 upstart goblin to search Volflame for free. Normal Pendulum monsters are so interesting I hope we get more decks that try to use them. As for a vid idea: How about Top 10 budget options for cards that are too expensive? I don't really have the funds (or UR dust 😔) to get 3 magicians' souls, but that won't stop me from running ANTEATEREATINGANT to proc the metalgoes trap card for 2 searches. It's even free backrow removal!
Something I’ve found good with giant ballpark is it can be an amazing way to get three basic insects on field and allow you to xyz summon Number 2: Ninja Shadow Mosquito, which can be game changing. And if you have Ninjitsu Art of Mosquito Marching in the GY, it’s hallucination city.
I guess an archetype that could at least have been mentioned was Hieratics, since they revolve around normal dragons quite a lot, allowing for some varied playstyles... and if anything at least a mention of "Advanced Draw" which allows you to tribute a level 8 or higher normal monster to draw 2 cards, if you can reliably bring out high level normal monsters then it becomes essentially a pot of greed.
@@jvsonic2468 I mean searching non- specific cards. The words normal, non and effect are on a lot of cards that aren't normal support. (Hyphenated words are treated as two words)
@@justinsmith5870 well when I tried to search non-Sonic cards in Duel Links, the symbols were a benefit believe me or not. Don't know why the search functionality didn't work in Master Duel.
@@jvsonic2468 there must be some differences in the filters. There's one for normal cards but not cards with "normal monster" in the text. And again normal and non effect brings up nearly half the cards that mention normal summon, normal spell, normal trap and effect cards respectively.
High Ritual Art works very well with Shinobirds: High Ritual Art returns the Ritual monster summoned by its effect back into the deck during the next end phase. Because Shinobirds return already to the hand during the endphase they are summoned, it cuts out the cost of having to search them when you have a vanilla in hand. High Ritual Art can become an omni Ritual summon when Transonic Bird is on the field and you have a vanilla of equal level in your hand. I only recommend running one High Ritual art, however. I like the idea of generic Ritual spells like Advanced Ritual Art, though I feel like why Fusions became far superior was because of their spells that sent materials directly from the deck to the graveyard; I wish Rituals had something similar, but without having the need to run normal monsters 😅
I remember in Master Duel when Adventure became aviable, I went second this time me: I Banish to search for Rite Oponent: Ash Negate me: Oh No, either way I activate Fate on hand Oponent: Typhoon me: Oh No, Either way I activate Rite on hand and get Fate, Special Summon Gryph on my hand and oponent: Forfeit it was really just one of those day when one is given all the tools and I just wanted to be extra sure
I'd love to see a video on the top 10 cutest yugioh cards. Bonus points if you make it serious and give real talking points as to why they're cuter than the others. And please include rescue cat
I'm surprised Magikey World wasn't on this list. It helps you search a Magikey card from your deck to your hand when played. As well as prevent a Normal Monster from being destroyed by battle or card effect once per turn. AND let's you add a Magikey Maftea from your deck to your hand in exchange for one card from your hand going to the bottom of your deck. These three effects makes it easier to get Magikey able to get their fusion and ritual summons going off even on turn one, as long as you don't get Ashed.
Top 10 cards that allow an additional normal summon would be a cool topic to go over since it’s also something that Konami had tried to do to make normal summons somewhat more prevalent as well as many fun and outdated decks rely on as a starter (Six Samurai, Blackwing, Yosenju, Invoked, etc.)
Piercing the darkness is so good, its like pot of greed with a bonus attack buff Now if only it could also debrick my hand of 3 level 5+ normal monsters it be perfect
A quick tip for gokipole: activate golden sarcophagus, banishing the Resonance Insect, which will then send a gokipole to the gy. This is a free pop and body.
I found it so weird when I started playing Rikka that such a shitty monster like Loci got so much support and was so crucial to a combo. You even left out more support it gets, because the next part of the combo is going into the link-3 which brings back Loci from the graveyard again, to which you go into whichever link-4 suits the strategy you're playing. It's actually insane how just having one Unexpected Dai will get you a link-4 and a whole other monster from the other engine out before you even normal summon. You can even use Jasmine's summon to go into Lonefire Blossom so that you can get around having whatever monster you want to bring in in attack position instead.
I mean, I would make this the 11th and 12th space, but Supernatural Danger Zone and D.D.D. Different Dimension Derby are two personal favourites of mine. Supernatural Danger Zone is particularly funny because it can also trigger off your opponent special summoning non-effect monsters for a free pop. In Melffy, you can actually use Melffy Rabby to some great effect with Melffy Starring Contest and Danger Zone, not to mention Rescue Rabbit into an xyz that allows you to use D.D.D. to do some targeted banishing. D.D.D. *is* a little too situational at times so I consider it the worst of the new stuff, but it also *doesn't* have a once per turn clause, so if you have D.D.D. and meet it's conditions, you could banish 3 cards in a single turn.
Did anyone else notice that Gokipole in the video has a typo where it says "greather" instead of "greater"? I don't know how that happened since the typo doesn't seem to exist on any of its printings.
💡Idea for a new piece of normal support you can run in most decks: _Ultimate Empowerment_ Quick-play spell _Banish 1 effect monster you control facedown: Normal or special summon 1 non-effect monster (including non-effect ritual monsters) from your hand or deck (or also your Extra Deck or GY if this set card was activated) with a matching type or attribute as the banished effect monster, and if you do, that summoned non-effect monster gains the effects of the banished monster until it is banished facedown or returns to the deck. You can only activate 1 “Ultimate Empowerment” per duel._
@@dahecc6238 This would be a real meta shaker I imagine, since NOW you’d be able to take the effects of monsters and transfer them to non-effect monsters that could make better use of them through their own merits. Doubly so for decks that actually rely on their non-effect monsters (like slapping a complementary effect onto a Phantasm Spiral Dragon.) And with Gemini monsters, the way this is written should mean that you could summon one with its own effects intact alongside the copied effects. I.E you can mix and match Gemini and copied effects.
I'm sorry, but how exactly is the adventure engine normal support? Are you counting the token as a normal monster because that feels like you're stretching.
I don’t really think the adventure engine should count, I mean personally. Because it only supports one single normal monster instead of adding a boost to normal monsters as a whole, plus said normal monster is a token, not a main deck card like everything else you mentioned so it’s quite literally impossible to brick by drawing the normal monster like with these other strategies. Idk, to me it just doesn’t seem like it’s quite the same “normal monster support” so much as it’s just an engine that generates a token
*Pendulum Summoning* should be a slot, since they became so easy to bring out even though most decks using the mechanic don't use normal monsters except for some of the pendulum normal monsters that have pendulum effects. 😊
The Qliphort flavour text mentions command lines that start with C:\, as if the Qliphorts were running on Windows. Are Microsoft and Bill Gates Duel Terminal canon?
I can't think of a currently existing Top 10 of the top of my head that could use a part 2, but I really think the Rank 4 Xyz Monsters is going to have be a Top 20 or 15 split into two parts.
Considering #04 is based on one of Haga's cards, the popular choice for its effect might've been intentional on the part of the creators. And if so; Kudos.
Giant Ballpark is one of the strongest cards ever in limited format.. Or just against anyone who doesn't know what Gokipole does. Ballpark control is also really funny with things like Skill Drain and Tyrant's Throes.
6:52 A DM support card that works universally better in a completely unrelated deck? Color me shocked. The just kept trying to make DM work with broken cards, trying to hit that bullseye, except not only did they completely miss the target, they kept hitting the bullseye for other archetypes instead.
Exactly. Magician Souls breaking Spyrals by dumping Master Plan, Dragoon being one of the best Verte targets alongside DPE and Rainbow Neos, and the one in the video.
At the end of the day, the three most milked monsters in the franchise are vanilla beaters. (Dark Magician, Blue-Eyes, Red-Eyes) Ergo, there will always be some form of support for the vanilla monsters, even if there's monsters that take the original's name, allowing for the support to be used on them too.
Considering those are the signature monsters of Yugi, Kaiba, and Joey ot makes sense. That's also why Kuriboh, Neos, Heroes, Stardust Dragon, Synchron, Red Dragon Archfiend, Black Wings, and Utopia, Harpy Lady, Cyber Dragon, Gagaga, and Toons still get support. They were all used by characters in the anime and are therefore recognizable to people who like the anime, but only casually plays the card game. Also if you ever wonder why anime characters only ever seem to to run one offs and have mish mashes of various archetypes it's for variety. They do it so we see different cards in each duel.
@@bensell982 None of those archetypes run vanillas besides maybe Harpy Lady. And more people recognize Kaiba, Yugi, and Joey more than, say, Jaden, or Yusei, or Mai.
@@michaellevin664 I know I'm just explaining why they get support more than other legacy archetypes. Also Harpy Lady don't run vanilla monsters. I think they were planning on letting it but because Harpy Ladies 1, 2, 3, and Cyber Harpy Lady were early on in name change effects they messed up and made it so their names are always treated as Harpy Lady even in the deck. So you literally can't put all 5 in the same deck. Knowing that Harpy players will normally only run Cyber Harpy Lady because of the better attack stat or Harpy Lady 1 because of the numbered ones it has the best effect.
Vishuda is not normal monsters support. It's advantages happen through non effect monsters. A specific but relevant distinction. Also doesn't link spider or nibiru count?
No it works as said it searches umi monster or a normal thats lvl 7 or lower and then free ss of a normal if you have umi I play umi control in MD and real life

For my Umi deck, I prefer using Terrorking Salmon than Gaga Reason being that, for a LV5 monster it has 2400ATK, meaning Umi allows me to normal summon it and it has a higher beatstick that Kairyu-shin
I don't think Piercing the Darkness is Dark Magician support... As to say, I think it's actually -just- generic normal monster support and they simply just chose to use Dark Magician in the art. It seems like an obvious thought but the way you said it made it sound like the intention was for it to be DM support.
I think you missed a good spell card one called supernatural danger zone let's you destroy a card when a normal monster is special summoned and if the card is destroyed you can special summon a normal monster from hand, deck or graveyard
Soft once per turn means it can activate once a turn for as many copies of the card there are. For example, Supply Squad can activate 3 times if there's 3 copies of it on the field, because it just says "once per turn, (effect)" Hard once per turn means you can only use that effect once per turn no matter what. It usually will be written as "you can only use the effect of (card name) once per turn"
"Top 10 Best Kinds of Card Effects【Updated for 2023】." P.S. I _love_ this updated list, TheDuelLogs! Your philosophy that cards will be rated based on their own merits *as well as the cards built around them* is inspirational!
No, the level doesn't matter when it comes to Ritual, Synchro or XYZ monsters. They only need to have been made using a normal monster. The level only matters if it's a normal monster.

💡Idea for a new piece of normal support you can run in most decks:
_Ultimate Empowerment_
Quick-play spell
_Banish 1 effect monster you control facedown: Normal or special summon 1 non-effect monster (including non-effect ritual monsters) from your hand or deck (or also your Extra Deck or GY if this set card was activated) with a matching type or attribute as the banished effect monster, and if you do, that summoned non-effect monster gains the effects of the banished monster until it is banished facedown or returns to the deck. You can only activate 1 “Ultimate Empowerment” per duel._
That's actually pretty well designed
@@dahecc6238
This would be a real meta shaker I imagine, since NOW you’d be able to take the effects of monsters and transfer them to non-effect monsters that could make better use of them through their own merits. Doubly so for decks that actually rely on their non-effect monsters (like slapping a complementary effect onto a Phantasm Spiral Dragon.) And with Gemini monsters, the way this is written should mean that you could summon one with its own effects intact alongside the copied effects. I.E you can mix and match Gemini and copied effects.
@@dahecc6238
Basically a perfect card for someone with an abundance of knowledge and imagination for the game.
the way you wrote that is weird

How so exactly?
I'm sorry, but how exactly is the adventure engine normal support? Are you counting the token as a normal monster because that feels like you're stretching.
I don’t really think the adventure engine should count, I mean personally. Because it only supports one single normal monster instead of adding a boost to normal monsters as a whole, plus said normal monster is a token, not a main deck card like everything else you mentioned so it’s quite literally impossible to brick by drawing the normal monster like with these other strategies. Idk, to me it just doesn’t seem like it’s quite the same “normal monster support” so much as it’s just an engine that generates a token
Top 10 Duel link skills that would translate into decent tcg spells!! It wouldn't take much to change text to make them playable
Let's go Magikey! One of my favorite decks to play, hands-down.
*Pendulum Summoning* should be a slot, since they became so easy to bring out even though most decks using the mechanic don't use normal monsters except for some of the pendulum normal monsters that have pendulum effects. 😊

Been waiting for a vid like this
Honorable neutral mention is the "Supernatural Danger Zone" which is a pseudo dark magical circle for normal monsters...
I’m currently running that card and piercing the darkness in my Pacifis deck it’s pretty effective because it triggers off the token.
The Qliphort flavour text mentions command lines that start with C:\, as if the Qliphorts were running on Windows.
Are Microsoft and Bill Gates Duel Terminal canon?
If you watch TheDuelLogs streams you knew Vishuda was going to be here
The Tenyi Logs
After having caught a handful of streams there was a brief moment of panic before Duellogs called Dracoback by its actual name.
How many takes did Fish Sonar's section take to get through those monster names, though.
Normal monsters I kind of forgot about that. Can Duel Logs win only by using Normal monsters?

Thank you I love Sunavalon's so much cuz they never stop growing
I don’t know if the spell card Heat Wave would count as normal monster support ?
I can't think of a currently existing Top 10 of the top of my head that could use a part 2, but I really think the Rank 4 Xyz Monsters is going to have be a Top 20 or 15 split into two parts.
Considering #04 is based on one of Haga's cards, the popular choice for its effect might've been intentional on the part of the creators. And if so; Kudos.
Giant Ballpark is one of the strongest cards ever in limited format.. Or just against anyone who doesn't know what Gokipole does.
Ballpark control is also really funny with things like Skill Drain and Tyrant's Throes.
6:52 A DM support card that works universally better in a completely unrelated deck? Color me shocked.
The just kept trying to make DM work with broken cards, trying to hit that bullseye, except not only did they completely miss the target, they kept hitting the bullseye for other archetypes instead.
Exactly. Magician Souls breaking Spyrals by dumping Master Plan, Dragoon being one of the best Verte targets alongside DPE and Rainbow Neos, and the one in the video.
Pierce the darkness + return of the red eyes im drawing like crazy plus a nice attack gain
Do top best Link monsters too good for their own archtypes.
One of them would be Aromaseraphy jasmine :D armonages are kinda weak, but that link is crazy powerfull for plant based decks :D
At the end of the day, the three most milked monsters in the franchise are vanilla beaters. (Dark Magician, Blue-Eyes, Red-Eyes)
Ergo, there will always be some form of support for the vanilla monsters, even if there's monsters that take the original's name, allowing for the support to be used on them too.
Considering those are the signature monsters of Yugi, Kaiba, and Joey ot makes sense. That's also why Kuriboh, Neos, Heroes, Stardust Dragon, Synchron, Red Dragon Archfiend, Black Wings, and Utopia, Harpy Lady, Cyber Dragon, Gagaga, and Toons still get support. They were all used by characters in the anime and are therefore recognizable to people who like the anime, but only casually plays the card game. Also if you ever wonder why anime characters only ever seem to to run one offs and have mish mashes of various archetypes it's for variety. They do it so we see different cards in each duel.
@@bensell982 None of those archetypes run vanillas besides maybe Harpy Lady. And more people recognize Kaiba, Yugi, and Joey more than, say, Jaden, or Yusei, or Mai.
@@michaellevin664 I know I'm just explaining why they get support more than other legacy archetypes. Also Harpy Lady don't run vanilla monsters. I think they were planning on letting it but because Harpy Ladies 1, 2, 3, and Cyber Harpy Lady were early on in name change effects they messed up and made it so their names are always treated as Harpy Lady even in the deck. So you literally can't put all 5 in the same deck. Knowing that Harpy players will normally only run Cyber Harpy Lady because of the better attack stat or Harpy Lady 1 because of the numbered ones it has the best effect.
Vishuda is not normal monsters support. It's advantages happen through non effect monsters. A specific but relevant distinction. Also doesn't link spider or nibiru count?
What's the music hiramaredx uses in his WoD good Video at 7:24??
Doesn't fish sonar's effect work differently? You can only search for any
No it works as said it searches umi monster or a normal thats lvl 7 or lower and then free ss of a normal if you have umi I play umi control in MD and real life

I WAS LITERALLY GONNA LOOK FOR THIS
For my Umi deck, I prefer using Terrorking Salmon than Gaga
Reason being that, for a LV5 monster it has 2400ATK, meaning Umi allows me to normal summon it and it has a higher beatstick that Kairyu-shin
As a sushi chef I can confirm that dark magic is involved.
What? No "Unexpected Dai"? I guess you can say that's.... UNEXPECTED!
What about Heart of the Underdog and Justi-Break?
I don't think Piercing the Darkness is Dark Magician support... As to say, I think it's actually -just- generic normal monster support and they simply just chose to use Dark Magician in the art. It seems like an obvious thought but the way you said it made it sound like the intention was for it to be DM support.
I think you missed a good spell card one called supernatural danger zone let's you destroy a card when a normal monster is special summoned and if the card is destroyed you can special summon a normal monster from hand, deck or graveyard
Mystical elf - White lightning has great support and potencial
As someone returning to yu-gi-oh can someone explain me the difference between soft and hard once per turn please
Soft once per turn means it can activate once a turn for as many copies of the card there are. For example, Supply Squad can activate 3 times if there's 3 copies of it on the field, because it just says "once per turn, (effect)"
Hard once per turn means you can only use that effect once per turn no matter what. It usually will be written as "you can only use the effect of (card name) once per turn"

No, the level doesn't matter when it comes to Ritual, Synchro or XYZ monsters. They only need to have been made using a normal monster. The level only matters if it's a normal monster.
