@@Rotom2304 Use the lady king d'arc to heal with your burn spells. Probably not the best for an otk strategy but could help with the grind if you can get another turn.
Okay, so basically, you have Dark Contracts, which lets you add/fusion/destroy cards/recycle pendulum zones/floodgate, but burns you during standby, you have smol kings extra deck monsters, flame Genghis, gust Alexander and wave Ceasar which respectively: revive any d/d on d/d summon + recycle dark contract on death, revive lvl 4 or lower d/d on d/d summon, and finally detach 1 overlay to revive as many monster that died this turn at the end of the battle phase + burn 1000 for each during the next standby + search dark contract on death, then their upgraded version that smoked weird things so now they're high, they have similar effects, but, respectivly negate spells/traps instead of recycle, become beatstick-man (+3000 atk) if you have a Trio D/D/DigMac on field instead of bad revive and finally, Solemn Warning for spells and traps only + betstickification of 1 other d/d on field (+1800 atk) at the cost of 1 overlay unit instead of mass revive when bp ends + 1000 burn for each revive. Then there's Siegfried, which negate spells/traps effects + heals 1000 for each dark contract on field on death, King d'Arc, which transmute burn into heal, Gilgamesh to place pendulum monsters in zones from deck, ragnarock to extend your extenders even more, armagedon for extending with the extended extenders even more, lamia for extend with your costs, swirl slime to fusion and get a bonus d/d normal summon, which extends, necro slime to necro fusion when you're desperate, vice typhoon to necro fusion, Kali Yuga to negate your opponent's board for 1 turn on summon + blow up both players back rows, the savants (Coppernicus, Thomas, Kepler and Newton) that respectively foolish burial on summon + blow itself up to negate and destroy spells that burns while in scale (Scale 1), destroy 1 d/d in scale to extend lvl 8 d/d/d from deck + recycle your Kepler while in scale (Scale 6), searches your dark contracts on summon (Scale 10 that keeps getting lower while destroying all non-d/d you control, but you're locked in pendulum summoning d/d anyway) and ditch to recycle 1 other d/d or dark contract + same as copernicus in scale, but for traps that burns. You also have the Super Doom Kings "shade" Armagedon that are just like the trio of previous kings but in a beatstick version with different effects and color based (The Xyz is dark, the Synchro is bright and the Fusion is purple) all with a pendulum scale of 1 and an ability to get in the scale if they're destroyed, in addition of their following respective effect: Destroy opponent's atk position monster and burn their atk to opponent + can reset opponent's monster atk during battle before damage calculation + sucks your opponent's monster's atk (-1000 atk) once per turn on battle against d/d/d fusion while in scale, no targeting your monsters with effects for your opponent + kill pendulum users by making them choose 1 pendulum monster to save from negation and negating every other monster if anything is summon while he's on the field + while in scale when you're attacked and you control a d/d/d synchro you can mirror force all monster with lower def than your synchro and burn your opponent 1000 lp for not knowing how to read once per turn and finally, cannot be pendulum summoned (DUH! It's an Xyz) + can attach 1 face-up d/d from the extra deck to it when xyz summoned + you can target and pop monsters your opponent controls up to the number of pendulum extenders you got (up to the number of pendulum monsters you control) + free Kali Yuga if you have this and an other d/d in your pendulum scale (Special summon a d/d/d xyz from your extra deck once per turn). In other words, this d/d/d are Nibiru bait! Now you know how to play d/d/d, you're welcome.
For the first one it was so you can summon odd-eyes rebellion dragon and have it's full effects. On an added note with the retrain you can play odd-eyes rebellion dragon over it instead of using either pendulum card.
Just saying, for anyone curious. Xiansheng and Xiangke magician are meant to be used in a “Rebellion” deck to enable Odd eyes Rebellion Dragon, and Odd Eyes Raging Dragon to have their effects by using an Xyz monster as one of their materials. However Xiansheng herself is completely unnecessary in this deck as it has access to Dark Anthelion Dragon which enables this play using only itself and other level 7 monsters, so only Xiangke magician is necessary to enable Anthelion to be used as a Level 7 material. In summary, Xiansheng is actually useless in the deck she’s meant to be used in, and deserves a spot on this list.
Yoko-Zuna is actually pretty good: It's a Generic Scale 1 that returns to your hand once you use it. So, you just put the higher scale in one zone, and once you need to Pendulum Summon something, Play it, Pendulum Summon what you need, then it returns to your hand. It may not be great, but in a rogue deck, where you need a substantial backrow....
I doubt anyone will get this, but I used the spirit pends in the level 5 warrior star fusion deck. They let you summon your monsters from hand while acting as fusion materials when they bounce back. That and they have monarch stats witch adds a monarch draw engine and more 5s with the trap.
The issue is its competeing against domino and fast dragon for high scales, and cant pend summon fast dragon And if you get to the point where you are needing to use it. You are probably losing.
I was never quite sure why Pendulum cards had 2 symbols on them. Maybe one represents a low scale and the other a high scale. But if this was true, then why are they always the same? Scale is a single number like level or rank. It should have one marker.
That would have made them even more broken as the the different scales meant that decks no longer had to worry about bricking if they had the same scale. As pendulum player my self. I've had to ensure I always had scales for both sides just on the off chance the main monsters I used were destroyed.
@@rushalias8511 You would have to commit to the scale though where it was played. If you put a 4 on the right that's your high scale. And if it had different scales, Left 0 / Right 4, you could only play a high 4, not a low 4. So not totally broken.
@@SakuraAvalon It is funny, and I think they really just wanted to keep it simple (even though they made moddable scales via effects). A card could theoretically be nerfed if its good scale was paired with a weak one. (Take a 1L 3R) Obviously you could place it Left, but if you placed it Right you only get Pend 2, or Pend 1-2 with a Zero scale on the left.)
D/D can be made into a pendulum deck and the deck is normally about fusions but has monsters that can be used for fusion,synchro or Xyz so it can do a lot depending on the deck you made. Pendulum D/D decks can make special summoning from extra deck easier
The best way that I view pendulum monsters is not for the special summoning seeing how nobody tends to use that in the first place but more along the lines of using the monsters for their secondary effect. Take the Performapal cards where a good portion of the cards are pendulum monsters but are used for their secondary effect. Even if you plan on using Pendulum cards for the special summoning I don't see how hard it is to actually remember to subtract 1 number from one side and add 1 to the other side? It's just basic math which we were all taught since 1st grade.
i don't want to make it sound like i'm negative for this video but i feel you are looking at pendulums are strictly doing one thing. For alot of these cards their "gimmick" is to be used as combo fodder for when they were originally released because power creep. For instance number 10 is used for electumite or odd eyes field spell fodder while allowing you to use plays that rely on the xyz monster needing another xyz card under it for instance dark rebellion's evolution and its fusion with odd eyes. A similar thing is what happens with the supper heavy samurai and d/d/d where when those cards were released it was used as easy combo extensions for the deck even more so because their archetype support actually plays around those "detrimental' effects .
Spirit Warrior pendulums are interesting inasmuch as they'll bounce back to your hand after you've used them, freeing up the pendulum zones for spells and traps, and protecting your scales from being destroyed in your opponent's turn. If you have two Supreme King Gate Infinity in the scales that's scale 13 x 400 is 5200. That's a lot of direct damage. Then it clears the zones. Still trash though.
@21:33 just so you know there are 3 "Cavalry" Dinosaur cards, all level 4 with no scale effect and all with a pendulum reliant effect. Btw I've actually been working on a Pendulum Dino Deck
Yoko-zuna is great as a low scale to be added off Isolde. I've been messing around with warrior zefra using Isolde as the electrumite stand in and I almost always find the scales are zefraath and yoko-zuna. It bouncing itself back to the hand means I can use it as discard fodder for the phoenix or unicorn I make on my opponent's turn with i:p, or i can slap it back down and get spell counters on the endymions. As ide from that, that's all about right but 1 should have been 3 with the rest of the order staying in tact.
Tell your mom happy mother's day from me Dave, must be a handful having you as a son. In all seriousness, thanks for the video my dude. Very excited to watch.
What a creepy ass comment lol. Do you like hide in his basement? And why are you thanking him for video lol? Pretty sure its his job, and if not then he wants it to be which means he needs to make them.........
I can just imagine someone making a super board, dealing with the backrow, and since they have a monster effect negate out, they let #1 live, swing into it, and found out it's a wall they can't get over.
Yoko-Zuna could be a troll tech in Mekk-Knights I guess. Makes the whole field into a minefield. Either you get Mekk-Knights out or you bounce cards with Yoko-Zuna
4:06 i once had a duel where the only reason i won was bc of the generals (though mostly for the other one as it let me get out the boss monster to effect win the game as believe it or not ra is not easy tp beat over when u have used all ur cards that can permanently reduce its attack to 0 making it support cards useless) 4:45 u get out Oracle king darc as soon as possible and keep him alive to make u invincible gaining up to 6k life points each turn along with either the high kings or the super doom kings (usually swirl slime into flame high king swamp king into purple armageddon and use the monster u sent with swirl slime (one of the guys that fusions through banishing like necro slime ) into Oracle king to get a full board thx to flame high king summoning the 2 swamp kinged cards with its effects ) than going into ammety doom king with the 2 doom kings u just summoned
spirit pendulum cards returning to the hand isn't the worse thing, it prevents them from being sent to the extra deck, or banished, so you're able to reuse them again, though you probably already heard this before
Those guys can at least summon Needlefiber. And the one I'm thinking off can Synchro Summon from the GY, so that's at least better than Pendulum's sealing your Pendulum Summon.
I feel like I'm the only one who likes Pendulums with my Endymion deck.... granted I've pendulum summoned maybe 5 times and those were coincidences, cause I basically just use them as spells I can fight with
Number 10 is strickly to make Xyz Pendulum monsters (For example Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon) but even if you go through the trouble of doing that it's usually not worth the effort cause you could have won the game anyway because it requires so many resources to pull the combo off as you need xiangshell and xiangke magician + Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon and 2 Level 4 Monsters already on the field to rank up into Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon and then pray that your opponent doesn't have removal because if that's the case well you just lost the game right there, took me 12 tries on Legacy of the Duelist Link Evolution with the story deck WHICH IS DEDICATED TO IT to pull it off
Extra slinger could banish giant rex from your extra deck to reuse his effect to summon him out when he is banished. But then you're mixing pendulums and dinos and you could do better than that by not playing either.
Pendulums: The original “extra zone” mechanic. Honestly happy that they’ve been nerfed so much, otherwise the game would be even worse with OTKs and FTKs
Definitely disagree with the superheavy card. It double attack isn't horrible for the deck. Also it on field effects is only held back by it being a level 1. So you have to play darkwurm to get more than 1 use out of it.
A lot of these suck because of anime lores, like the D/D/ one is supposed to be a malfunctioning prototype in the anime but in the physical game that makes for a really stupid card that no one will bother using.
The weirdest part about number one for me is that it actually power creeps big shield gardna. Same defense and level but better attack and an effect that isn't literally garbage. Well..... it's literally garbage but not as literally garbage as Gardna. So that's a cute niche.
Xiangke was ment to make one monster and even then it is not a bad card because it lets you use a useless XYZ after you used all its martiral or if you dont need it anymore just use Xiangke as a rip off rank up magic this is a card that should not be on this list even tho I am late just now IDC to the people that will try to use that against me but you still are a great Yugituber and a even better controversy maker.
Gizmek... Fox whatever. Summon going second and summon Pandora's Jewelry Box from deck. Your turn. Draw 2, going to 6 cards with 2 monsters on field. Then Domain Lock your opponent or something.
well that's the anime XD In real life, you be slapped with a giant halibut for running the pendulum cards. Heck even general jade is questionable card at best.
Actualy the d/d one doesn't destroy d/d's. Also they have a scale 10 that slowly shrinks in scale, but why do they have to change scales, I know. It's for a stupid gimik.
The only other Level 4 with 2600 I can remember is Big Shield Gardna which is awful and D-Hero Defender, which is also awful. So yeah, strongest Defense on a Lv 4 x)
Look, tbh pendulums are really fun. My main deck is an Odd Eyes deck with Raging Dragon as the main boss monster. It's a gimmick deck but I genuinely have fun playing it. It's not viable by any means but it more fun than Dragon Link.
Also I very much agree with number 10. Both Big Eye and Absolute Dragon are Ideal targets for Xianke Magician's effect, meaning Xianshien is not even necessary and would brick even in a deck focused on Pendulum-Xyz summoning (like mine).
Have to disagree on Extra Slinger. That card won me so many games with it's burn effect. Sure you can't pendulum summon, but you should have a strong enough board already and way too many pendulum monsters face-up in the extra deck too. Also it's scale is decent since you can still pendulum summon up to level 5 monsters.
Honorable mention: The entire Igknight archetype. Just like Metalfoes except *_infinitely worse._* The only good thing to ever come out of them was the Trap card, "Oops!" Say what you want, the card name is hilarious.
They really dont use pendulum summon for their main and best strategies. With the link they pend summon more often but they are a pendulum deck in card type alone
Um most of the DDDs are pendulums though and there is a bunch of plays they do with cards in the pen zones in fact one of their most brutal locks requires cards having scales.
I know that they have them, yes. But most of their wombo combos are looping lamia and slime, not pendulum summoning. Sticking a card in a pendulum scale is not the same as pendulum summoning. Counter fairies scale cards, but don't pendulum summon, same idea. Also I'm going off what I was told be the DD people on discord. So i could be wrong.
Hexasaucer ain’t actually bad it can recover anything you banish with rubber band shooter so that you can always banish something and never lose a monster from your extra deck
But it is that bad, if you get to the point where you are recovering aomething off saucer you have already lost, and its competeing fot a high scale slot with fast dragon and domino. It also cant pend summon fast dragon
You know there are other plays after fast dragon leaves the field and your basically going plus 1 off this combo or even plus 2 if you get terror top with this effect not to mention wind is a heavily supported type now so you will get the lead really easily and your never supposed to summon saucer you have it for the pendulum ability and if you would ever be at the risk of loosing you destroy it and it chump blocks an attack by summing something plus dominobutterfly doesn’t have many uses other than you can pendulum summon fast dragon which is why saucer is better cause you have way more options for it and that’s why it’s not bad.
@@supremevidspro5427 domino is a pendulum summonable tuner. Its scale is high enough to hit fast dragon. And also again. If you are at the point where hexasaucers effect is relevant. You are already losing. And if you want to look outaide the archetype, ita competeing for a high scale slot with guitarr. Which kills its entire life
Wait... metrognome doesnt work... the most it can do is 1300 damage Also I will note that most of these cards say a card in the pendulum zone, meaning if theres a spell or trap in there then it can be blown up
Just like Dave, I never got into Pendulums. Except those Martial Arts Spirit guys. They seemed neat. It’s sad to see Yoko-Zuna make this list. It’s sadder to say I can’t argue against it being on here.
I made a janky deck that played Kaiki The Unity Star to fuse for Idaten. Isolde also helped with scale searching. Had to disband the deck after Electrumite got banned though. Just couldn’t makes things work without her.
I know its a joke, but seriously, I would pay a lot of money to see Dave and Trif fight for real. I know its kinda unfair cause Trif is actually a pretty big dude and Dave is basically the Screech of the Yugioh TCG RUclipsrs so it would probably be an absolutely one sided massacre but still. Actually I bet a lot of people would watch just to see that happen lol.

@@adrisedona Kochi the Daybreak as well. I believe if he was Special Summoned.
Those guys can at least summon Needlefiber. And the one I'm thinking off can Synchro Summon from the GY, so that's at least better than Pendulum's sealing your Pendulum Summon.
I feel like I'm the only one who likes Pendulums with my Endymion deck.... granted I've pendulum summoned maybe 5 times and those were coincidences, cause I basically just use them as spells I can fight with
D/D/Deez Nuts. Ha... got eeem. 😂
Number 10 is strickly to make Xyz Pendulum monsters (For example Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon) but even if you go through the trouble of doing that it's usually not worth the effort cause you could have won the game anyway because it requires so many resources to pull the combo off as you need xiangshell and xiangke magician + Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon and 2 Level 4 Monsters already on the field to rank up into Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon and then pray that your opponent doesn't have removal because if that's the case well you just lost the game right there, took me 12 tries on Legacy of the Duelist Link Evolution with the story deck WHICH IS DEDICATED TO IT to pull it off
You can also use Pendulum Call but again they are better targets for it so that's a waste resources
Extra slinger could banish giant rex from your extra deck to reuse his effect to summon him out when he is banished. But then you're mixing pendulums and dinos and you could do better than that by not playing either.
dinosaur pendlum sounds so shit just play hand traps or true king if your feeling spicy
The first one is used in combination to summon raging dragon with its negate and nuke.
Pendulums: The original “extra zone” mechanic. Honestly happy that they’ve been nerfed so much, otherwise the game would be even worse with OTKs and FTKs
Yeah thank God Link monsters came and _balanced_ the game out!
I always wondered if pandora jewelry box would be good in monarchs
Definitely disagree with the superheavy card. It double attack isn't horrible for the deck. Also it on field effects is only held back by it being a level 1. So you have to play darkwurm to get more than 1 use out of it.
D/D/D isn't real it's the sleep paralysis demon of Yu-Gi-Oh
Why are there no Pendulum Ritual Monster?
Anyone else thinking there were watching a whatculture video bc of the intro?
Jewlery box is interesting as ur opponent doesnt have to have pendulum monsters in their respective zones...
A lot of these suck because of anime lores, like the D/D/ one is supposed to be a malfunctioning prototype in the anime but in the physical game that makes for a really stupid card that no one will bother using.
Spirit Pendulums have been used in Endymion to generate spell counters after Pendulum summoning btw
Um... I'm here to tell you that no, they haven't... ever.
@@donjuan6996 I've seen it on stream in a feature match. That's not to say it's good or anything like that.
Just because some idiot decided to do something dumb doesn't mean the card is good.
I'm curious. Can Speedroid Hexasaucer possibly end the duel in a tie???
The weirdest part about number one for me is that it actually power creeps big shield gardna. Same defense and level but better attack and an effect that isn't literally garbage. Well..... it's literally garbage but not as literally garbage as Gardna. So that's a cute niche.
Xiangke was ment to make one monster and even then it is not a bad card because it lets you use a useless XYZ after you used all its martiral or if you dont need it anymore just use Xiangke as a rip off rank up magic this is a card that should not be on this list even tho I am late just now IDC to the people that will try to use that against me but you still are a great Yugituber and a even better controversy maker.
Extra Slinger being on the list is my top achievement for the week
Can you do a top 10 worst Ritual monster list and not include the normal ritual monsters since I think that would be great.
4:00 take it easy on coral,there are alot of pendulum cards weaker than him
21:14 destiny hero defender?
Gizmek... Fox whatever. Summon going second and summon Pandora's Jewelry Box from deck. Your turn. Draw 2, going to 6 cards with 2 monsters on field. Then Domain Lock your opponent or something.
Bored so watching Dave again
D/D/D and Super Heavy Samurais were used in the Anime that the Pendulum method was discovered so they are Pendulum decks. Probably.
well that's the anime XD
In real life, you be slapped with a giant halibut for running the pendulum cards. Heck even general jade is questionable card at best.
Every time I look at a pendulum card I get nauseous
I never plan on EVER using Pendulums in my yugi deck's as frankly in my opinion they are a total nightmare for me to understand
Pendulum.. Dave, i fell you. I think i'll never really gonna like them. The shirt is godly :D i like the design!
If xiangsheng has It's anime pendulum effect where it can change any monsters lvl equal to other monster. It would be better.
Love the humour in these.
Actualy the d/d one doesn't destroy d/d's. Also they have a scale 10 that slowly shrinks in scale, but why do they have to change scales, I know. It's for a stupid gimik.
The only other Level 4 with 2600 I can remember is Big Shield Gardna which is awful and D-Hero Defender, which is also awful. So yeah, strongest Defense on a Lv 4 x)
Look, tbh pendulums are really fun. My main deck is an Odd Eyes deck with Raging Dragon as the main boss monster. It's a gimmick deck but I genuinely have fun playing it. It's not viable by any means but it more fun than Dragon Link.
Also I very much agree with number 10. Both Big Eye and Absolute Dragon are Ideal targets for Xianke Magician's effect, meaning Xianshien is not even necessary and would brick even in a deck focused on Pendulum-Xyz summoning (like mine).
There's a face hugger joke for the predaplant
D/D/D gang rise up....
Have to disagree on Extra Slinger. That card won me so many games with it's burn effect. Sure you can't pendulum summon, but you should have a strong enough board already and way too many pendulum monsters face-up in the extra deck too. Also it's scale is decent since you can still pendulum summon up to level 5 monsters.
slinger is bad and cheesy just beacuse it won you games doesnt mean its good
Predaplants are one of my favorite decks and I never knew that card existed 😂
Its just a card from the manga
did you also know abou venemy dragon the card where you have to use dark pendulums for it which predaplant only has one
Honorable mention: The entire Igknight archetype. Just like Metalfoes except *_infinitely worse._*
The only good thing to ever come out of them was the Trap card, "Oops!"
Say what you want, the card name is hilarious.
Only complaint was the fact you said that D/D's don't use pendulum summon.
Except they do use pendulum summon and everything except for ritual
They really dont use pendulum summon for their main and best strategies. With the link they pend summon more often but they are a pendulum deck in card type alone
@@Keirandal_Chikage yes but by all definitions it's still a pendulum deck just not in the way people use it.
@@DarkSymphony777 the point was its not a traditional pendulum deck. Yes they are pendulum monsters, but that is only a technicality
@@Keirandal_Chikage then we are both in agreement then
"I have a crush on my butthole." I'm fucking dead.
Um most of the DDDs are pendulums though and there is a bunch of plays they do with cards in the pen zones in fact one of their most brutal locks requires cards having scales.
I know that they have them, yes. But most of their wombo combos are looping lamia and slime, not pendulum summoning. Sticking a card in a pendulum scale is not the same as pendulum summoning. Counter fairies scale cards, but don't pendulum summon, same idea. Also I'm going off what I was told be the DD people on discord. So i could be wrong.
honestly for that odd eyes xyz monster Gagaga magician be best boi
you should make a shirt that just says "Sports!" and sell it as merch
that would be plagiarism.
@@davinator1212 Was that original "Sports!" shirt from an actual brand?
@@ButterclawEnthusiast Philip DeFranco sells SPORTS shirts
@@Aranethon Oh, I didn't know that. Thanks for the info!
@@ButterclawEnthusiast would suggest picking one up. Its my favorite tee shirt, and the man does good work.
Hexasaucer ain’t actually bad it can recover anything you banish with rubber band shooter so that you can always banish something and never lose a monster from your extra deck
But it is that bad, if you get to the point where you are recovering aomething off saucer you have already lost, and its competeing fot a high scale slot with fast dragon and domino. It also cant pend summon fast dragon
You know there are other plays after fast dragon leaves the field and your basically going plus 1 off this combo or even plus 2 if you get terror top with this effect not to mention wind is a heavily supported type now so you will get the lead really easily and your never supposed to summon saucer you have it for the pendulum ability and if you would ever be at the risk of loosing you destroy it and it chump blocks an attack by summing something plus dominobutterfly doesn’t have many uses other than you can pendulum summon fast dragon which is why saucer is better cause you have way more options for it and that’s why it’s not bad.
@@supremevidspro5427 domino is a pendulum summonable tuner. Its scale is high enough to hit fast dragon. And also again. If you are at the point where hexasaucers effect is relevant. You are already losing. And if you want to look outaide the archetype, ita competeing for a high scale slot with guitarr. Which kills its entire life
Wait... metrognome doesnt work... the most it can do is 1300 damage
Also I will note that most of these cards say a card in the pendulum zone, meaning if theres a spell or trap in there then it can be blown up
Just like Dave, I never got into Pendulums. Except those Martial Arts Spirit guys. They seemed neat. It’s sad to see Yoko-Zuna make this list. It’s sadder to say I can’t argue against it being on here.
Thats how I feel. I wish they were better
I made a janky deck that played Kaiki The Unity Star to fuse for Idaten. Isolde also helped with scale searching. Had to disband the deck after Electrumite got banned though. Just couldn’t makes things work without her.
I think Metrognome's Artwork is pretty cute
:3
Reverse Vanilla sounds like a h e n t a i tag.
Steel cavalry has the same defense of big shield gardna, which seems much better then that crap
I know its a joke, but seriously, I would pay a lot of money to see Dave and Trif fight for real. I know its kinda unfair cause Trif is actually a pretty big dude and Dave is basically the Screech of the Yugioh TCG RUclipsrs so it would probably be an absolutely one sided massacre but still. Actually I bet a lot of people would watch just to see that happen lol.
Tell tywolf to play pandora’s jewelry box to replace his demise loss in Draco
D/D savant wasn't that bad to get your contracts back to your hand.
Z-Arc wasn't here.... Hm.... I just hope my boy Link Devotee isn't on the worst Links list.... o_o
(En-dem-ion) endymion, no need to thank me.
en-dee-me-on
Can I be on the Top Ten BEST Pendulums list? 🙏
Also #MakePendulumTier1Again #FreeElectrumite #FreeAstrograph
Mild Turkey looks delicious, clearly it can't be THAT bad.
It's a little dry tho...
This videos should be called: TOP Pendulum monster that are gonna be free in duel links xd
5:48 that's incredibly disrespectful
Im shocked none of the Zefra Pendulums are here, most of them are useless in their archetype (the non-zefra archetype)
Because that deck was actually a competent Rogue strategy
Speedroid Hexasaucer appears on list, I make eyes at my speedroid deck running 3 copies and panic.
Its really not worth it honestly. Join the discord and check out my list
@@Keirandal_Chikage Sadly that would require actually downloading the app.
@@cba_2442 you can check it and join in any web browser
@@Keirandal_Chikage it's just a lot of trouble. I have 26 decks built right now and it's hard to keep track of anyways.
I shall now make King D/D/D's.
Zainey zebra wassnt on the list?
he is def a bad card. certainly top 20.

_I start the duel..._
