I’m genuinely surprised it hasn’t gotten any direct support, with how many memes came out of it, it seems the perfect monsters for Konami to make into an actually good card
@@knitler885 We need more support for most of those Egyptian theme'd monsters in general. They're aesthetically cool, but most are terrible in actual play.
Santa Claws is also searchable with Sangan, and since Sangan got an errata saying the monster it searches can’t activate its effect, you get to tribute with it and the opponent DOESN’T get to draw a card
Actually, I think it activated because Sangan restricts, you from using it's effect, but it doesn't restrict your opponent, so the effect triggers in the end phase.
Hey, it made good tribute fodder for very specific and not really viable Destiny HERO - Plasma turbo* decks before it was broken in the Link format. *Not referring to Turbo Duels here
Ahh.. Lava Golem. In the anime, I loved how Marik summoned this to Joey. Then Joey used it as one of tribute monsters since it became one of his monsters. I loved that Joey vs Marik one.
Loved that whole duel. Joey's good-natured perseverance was a perfect foil to Marik's arrogant sadomasochism. The fact he literally lost just because Yugi has to be the one to beat the Big Bad is why I consider him the winner of that duel, and he definitely grew into a more powerful duelist from that point on.
@@benjaminoechsli1941 Didn't Joey lose because he ultimately couldn't bear Ra's attacks? That some one who, unlike the pharaoh, would suffer from merely playing a shadow game, even if they are as resilient as Joey, gives in to that seems rather sensible.
@@xCorvus7x He took everything Marik threw at him, even getting nuked by Ra Phoenix Mode, and was still standing. Marik's turn was over, his field was empty, and his Life Points were minimal. Had Joey declared an attack, he would have won, but he fainted mid-declaration, meaning Marik was declared the winner by default. So yes, he succumbed, but not before taking far more punishment than a mere mortal like should have been able to, at least in theory. Maybe Yuge rubbed off on him. ;P
@@benjaminoechsli1941 Well, Joey isn't a reincarnation of a priest/magician but he's always been strong. He even proved stronger than Marik's companion, an actual gravekeeper, when Ra smote them both in fury over the fake god card being played. So it's fair and well that against Marik he lasted as long as he did, even though losing ultimately (that's just the magic of the god cards in the manga/anime).
Maybe "Top 10 Xyz materials" (cards that have/grant effects when used and Xyz monster material) due to the card type being introduced in Duel links recently?
I remember me and my friend one christmas eve were bored, so we hopped on YGOPro and tried to come up with christmas themed decks. We both had Santa Claws, and had no idea how to use him. We were just spamming giftcards and beating each other down with Toy Soldiers, it was ridiculous and a lot of fun
The first one's interesting but the second one would need him to look through basically half the monsters in the game that have ever seen competitive play and then narrow it down to 10, which is a difficult task for him to do so the second one probably won't happen any time soon

@@juanpablouriascruz1411 Then I must have confused the video with the erratas, but I know for sure that Inspector Boarder was in one of the Top 10 lists before because of the ruling nightmare associated with its effect.
Volcanic Queen will always be the #1 in my heart. Mostly because only her and Lava Golem existed when I was playing Yu-Gi-Oh, and I didn't have access to the latter. It was so much fun to eliminate that big ass OP monster that my friend had just summoned (well, for me at least. Not so much for the receiving end). The best case scenario was to flip Hunt Instinct immediately afterwards, since Volcanic Queen counts as an opponent's special summoned monster, and bring my Ultimate Tyranno for a devastating rampage.

Also, Volcanic Queen and Lava Golem have a nice bonus of not being restricted in their summons, so you can drop multiple copies of them on the same turn no problem.
@@dustinvance243 But many of the target are monsters with omni negates, immune to everything or spell speed 2 destruction that aren't immune to be tributed.
@@juanpablouriascruz1411 and many more are just weak cards that aren't really a threat, but you'll just tribute anyway. Because who cares what they play as long as you get to splash the boards with your own cards and make a 2 player game into fucking solitaire. Piss off!
I love my Lair of Darkness deck because it tributes all my opponents stuff all while giving me some kind of advantage. Hope it gets some more support somehow because it seems all new bosses are immune to everything BUT tributing.
When using Ra sphere mode for this strategy, just make sure your opponent doesn't have a Winged Dragon of Ra in their deck.Especially with the recent release of all those new Ra support cards.
7:20 Oh man! Lava Golem - fun times! Still remember that one time playing "recess Yugioh" where my friend summoned it to my side of the field and had Level Limit Area A along with a Gravity Bind facedown just in case. I proceeded to feather duster his backrow then summon more level 4 beaters and basically destroy him with his own monster XD
I built a toxic deck based on Number 59: Crooked Cook, Exodia, Timelord (for emergence) and a slew of these cute cards. As long as there are no piercing attacks or Kaiju... I'm in an iron barrel. It's fun to see people using meta deck and see them use everything without combining anything and quit. And even if I lose, I've enjoyed their effort... If I could, I'd congratulate them for whoever manages to defeat me in such conditions.
Lava Golem holds a special place in my heart as far as these monsters go. I'm a giant fan of the Relinquished archetype, which is a deck which only ever needs normal summons for searchers like Manju...and even then it isn't a guarantee. Every single thing with "Relinquished" or "Restrict" in its name can gain great value from that Lava Golem you just summoned. One of my favorite board nukers on YGOPro for said Relinquished deck as the ability to choose what column it enters matters. So...say my opponent ends on three monsters: maybe an Apollousa, a Tri-Gate, and something else...doesn't really matter too much. I can start by Lava Goleming the negators away, then I can use Pre-preparation to grab Relinquished and Black Illusion Ritual, summon relinquished and absorb the random third monster...then, having made sure of where I put my opponent's shiny new Lava Golem, I can link Relinquished away for Relinquished Anima, eat the Lava Golem, and swing for 3k, probably setting either Solemn Judgment or Relinquished Fusion as backrow for support and/or disruption (I'll have a Relinquished and an effect monster I used for ritual tribute in my GY, so Relinquished Fusion can bring out Millennium-Eyes Restrict as a response to backrow removal, or if my opponent is obviously planning on bringing out a monster with a mandatory effect). Millennium-Eyes Restrict will also work on its own vs Lava Golem in a pinch, as the 1000 LP effect is mandatory and chainable...the only problem being that if you go for it, it's a OPT and you won't get to negate an opponent's monster effect unless you have Millennium-Eyes Illusionist in hand or a different negate.
These cards are also good if you use relinquish anima since you get to choose where it goes so you can place it infront of an extra monster zone and then link summon relinquish anima which then points to the monster and then steals it
Cyber Dragon Infinity is a contender, since it can target an attack position monster and add it as a material. Having an omni negate on top of that (which does require a detach) just makes it even better.
I once got Nibiru'd, but I had so high damage monsters on the field my attack was at 13,500 and defense was at 10,500 and I just used the rock to beat him
I remember I got hit with a nibiru in master duel I was so confused at first I was going through a combo and I was like Nooooooooooo!!!!!! When they all got tributed.
@@dracometeors3010 it's still played and that's enough for me. I just like hearing cards of the time I played still see some use even if they're not in meta decks. Hell, it's better than going the way of Summoned Skull (replaced by not one, not two, but THREE better retrains) or original Red Eyes.
I have only two suggestions for a Top Ten list, but one of them can be split into two categories of good/bad. The one that can be split is Top 10 revival cards. The other one is Top 10 non-"Number" cards with a number in their name.
In any other circumstance, I'd entirely agree with your list However Santa Claws should be at 10 instead of Volcanic Queen While giving up the normal summon is harsh, it's much better than giving your opponent a +1
What? It only happen in the endphase, you probably already got rid of Santa claws by the time that happen(and probably already won). Not to mention Santa claws still see some Mera plays right now while volcanic Queen never see plays for years. Also volcanic Queen can also burn both Players.
I remember one time I was playing against a deck that was intended to stall me out and didn't summon monsters very much- mostly relying on spells/traps that worked better with an empty field. But I used D. D. Guide to give him a monster, and then I summoned Lord Gaia the Fierce Knight who special summoned himself for my opponent having a monster on his side but I didn't. And he was like "o_0 that was an interesting play". That was one of my prouder moments. I run my kaiju deck weird, it's not even really a kaiju deck, I actually run it at 60 cards, highlander. 11 kaiju cards in a 60 card deck does not a kaiju deck make. Anyway, I figured there was a chance my opponents might be running decks that don't reliably have monsters on the field I can tribute, so I planned around it by having tricks like that to summon fodder on opponent's side.
Abu Hassan NO ITS NOT EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAID You said he didnt put it at number 1 You said ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about number 2 If someone didnt watch the video He would’ve thought its not in the video at first place Because he is the only one who dosent actually tribute like the others
Top 10 monsters which have the effect that aren't once per turn (currently not on ban list) Top 10 spell/trap cards with effect "Discard 1 card from your hand"
I was kinda hoping to see Ceruli, Guru of Dark World on this list. Yeah he almost never gets used, but since he allows the archetype to inherently activate all of their busted effects, a mention would have been interesting. Also, EARTH Machines top 10.
What about a list of cards that use opponent's monsters on the field for cost, like Super Polymerization, Fallen of Albaz, Unchained Soul of Rage, Chimeratech Megafleet Dragon and so on...? Some even use from GY (Invocation)!
Back in the day ,I used Lava golem with either gravity bind or level limit area B A control and burn deck. Was very effective. This was before Synkro monsters lol
Same here! Also run some ultimate baseball kids and that trap that let you change all attributes to whatever you liked, fire of course! It was a blast!
I definitely think Iblee could be higher on the list. There’s a very good combo these days now that Mermaid is banned that involves Salamangreat Baleynx. By doing so, you end up with your opine t controllling an Iblee and having a Sanctuary on your field prevents them from ramming into Bale with it. Combined with a deck that can U-link easily (my favorite being Code Talkers) you can end on a board where you’re opponent can’t SS because of Iblee but can’t Link Summon due to the U-Link, as well as not being able to ram because of Sanctuary. This and more absolutely gives Iblee a higher spot just because it’s been much easier to pull off a lockdown with it.
Top 10 Tuner Monsters (that aren't mainly used as hand traps); Top 10 Ritual Monsters; Top 10 Union Monsters; Top 10 Gemini Monsters; Top 10 Link 4 Monsters; Top 10 Rock/Reptile/Fish/Sea Serpent/Plant (you name it) Type Monsters; Top 10 Cards that have a better version of themselves (BLS>Chaos Sorcerer, Magical Stone Excavation>Spell Reproduction, Gold Sarcophagus>Different Dimension Capsule...) Top 10 Spell/Trap Cards that activate from the GY.
Sphere Mode should be higher than Nibriu. It's less conditional, and he left out an important element to sphere mode. It can't be targeted by effects or for attacks, and you get it back next turn. That's amazing to have not only a great removal but I get a wall back. If you're gonna have tribute removal in your deck you should have sphere at 3. The only time you don't want it is if for some reason your opponent is playing slow and has 2 or less monsters. Which sure than a kaiju is preferable but in most situations I'll take sphere mode. Grinder Golem is banned anyway so I don't count him but grinder golem was good for banish decks with inferno tempest
i run lava golem in a yubel list. tributing 2 of my opponents monsters, then burning them for 1k then destroying it while chipping another 3k damage in is really good.
@@thedopdeity They halved lava golem burn damage, because lot early(or even now?) xyz monster can burn a lot of your LP, so for the starter, our mighty (pesky if you the opponent... )lava golem is the first victim😅...
@@ladyinwight Yes, that is the problem of duel links, if you never or don't pay attention to the master duel... I think players won't think that much...(unless they have critical thinking or pissed for losing like that a lot...) Anyway, only Konami that could make the decisions so they should have the answer😂😂😂
Suggestion: "10 cards that are broken In Duelist of the Roses when compared to their OCG/TCG counterparts" Two major examples: Pumpking the king of ghosts and Toon World" Due to the nature of the board of the game and terrain effects, the first could make your monsters unbeatable if you stall long enough and the second forced you to kite Pegasus out of his comfort zone somehow.
I wanted to suggest Armityle the Chaos Phantasm - Phantom of Fury for this, but then remembered it doesn’t count since you don’t summon it to your opponents side, instead you summon it to your side, then give it to your opponent. Then have the option of either crashing into it since it’s a 0 attack monster, or letting it live until the end phase, where it just banishes your opponents monsters and gives you the original Armityle, I’m assuming that this isn’t anything good in meta but it’s a very fun card to use in casual games.
Top 20-11 Monsters Summoned To Your Opponents Side of the Field in YuGiOh SHS transporter 1- can sp summon itself if you have no S/T in Gv and for rest of turn you can only SPsummon SHS 2- tribute itself to summon up to 2 of ANY monster to your opponents side of the field in def pos, draw 1 card for each (hard once per turn) without the S/T SHS SP only condition, this could see play in the meta as it allows you to get rid of garnets in the hand with -1 while drawing 2, which is way better than Pot of Desires as it gives you 2 monsters to battle
And there is actually one little thing that makes Sphere Mode even better, and that is it doesn't count as special summon, so it can get rid of floodgates like Archlord Kristya or Vanity's Ruler, which none of the other monsters on this list can do.
A deck that use kristya or vanity ruler usually only have 2 monsters at best. How can you uses sphere mode? The only deck that use any of them are monarch and darklord and both of them don't really have good swarming capability.
@Rama Roy Nekroz can get Vanity's Ruler out and have a board full of monsters pretty easily, Darklord actually does like to swarm a bunch of monsters... a bunch of random high-level monsters that don’t do much outside of their turn, though.
A few extra notes on 2 of the entries: Volcanic Queen due to not being able to Normal Summon or Set it has really good synergy with Flame Spirit Ignis gimmick burn decks (particularly Infernoid ones) and pure Volcanic burn (RIP) since Reasoning and Monster Gate send it straight from the deck to the Grave to use for burn damage. Though the former role can also be easily filled by Lava Golem. Santa Claws is actually a huge disappointment to me personally. Don't get me wrong: its good, but in Trickstar burn and Appropriate decks if that "You can draw 1 card" was forced rather than an option it would fit in those decks so much better.
Also for lava golem : dark spirit's mastery can search it so it can only be played once in deck that has over level 8 fiend (like unchained, or infernoid) so it is rare for it to brick in those deck
I love how two of my favorite old cards Lava Golem and Gren Maju get better with age. Now if only gate guardian could get some support.
Problem is Gate Guardian was never good at any point

Millennium-Eyes Restrict will also work on its own vs Lava Golem in a pinch, as the 1000 LP effect is mandatory and chainable...the only problem being that if you go for it, it's a OPT and you won't get to negate an opponent's monster effect unless you have Millennium-Eyes Illusionist in hand or a different negate.
These cards are also good if you use relinquish anima since you get to choose where it goes so you can place it infront of an extra monster zone and then link summon relinquish anima which then points to the monster and then steals it
Top ten xyz monsters who have good effects that don't require detaching material
The first one that springs into my mind is number c69, because he can nuke the field without a detach
Azathot and dark matter are definitely #1
RRUF of course.
I'm pretty sure he will make a top 10 of this
Cyber Dragon Infinity is a contender, since it can target an attack position monster and add it as a material. Having an omni negate on top of that (which does require a detach) just makes it even better.
I once got Nibiru'd, but I had so high damage monsters on the field my attack was at 13,500 and defense was at 10,500 and I just used the rock to beat him
I remember I got hit with a nibiru in master duel I was so confused at first I was going through a combo and I was like Nooooooooooo!!!!!! When they all got tributed.
Wow, Lava Golem is still played...
That's honestly cool, the monster brings back memories.
Actually not really much
@@dracometeors3010 it's still played and that's enough for me.
I just like hearing cards of the time I played still see some use even if they're not in meta decks. Hell, it's better than going the way of Summoned Skull (replaced by not one, not two, but THREE better retrains) or original Red Eyes.
Me giving Lava Golem to my opponent by tributing their Dragoon and Apollousa makes my day better lmao
These videos are my go to before sleep, very calming ambience
I'm somewhat surprised Ojama Trio wasn't on this list, if only for it's historic value. I've heard it's been a part of a few OTKs in it's hay day
I have only two suggestions for a Top Ten list, but one of them can be split into two categories of good/bad. The one that can be split is Top 10 revival cards. The other one is Top 10 non-"Number" cards with a number in their name.
In any other circumstance, I'd entirely agree with your list
However Santa Claws should be at 10 instead of Volcanic Queen
While giving up the normal summon is harsh, it's much better than giving your opponent a +1
What? It only happen in the endphase, you probably already got rid of Santa claws by the time that happen(and probably already won). Not to mention Santa claws still see some Mera plays right now while volcanic Queen never see plays for years. Also volcanic Queen can also burn both Players.
I remember one time I was playing against a deck that was intended to stall me out and didn't summon monsters very much- mostly relying on spells/traps that worked better with an empty field. But I used D. D. Guide to give him a monster, and then I summoned Lord Gaia the Fierce Knight who special summoned himself for my opponent having a monster on his side but I didn't. And he was like "o_0 that was an interesting play". That was one of my prouder moments. I run my kaiju deck weird, it's not even really a kaiju deck, I actually run it at 60 cards, highlander. 11 kaiju cards in a 60 card deck does not a kaiju deck make. Anyway, I figured there was a chance my opponents might be running decks that don't reliably have monsters on the field I can tribute, so I planned around it by having tricks like that to summon fodder on opponent's side.
I love your videos and ideas
Next video make top 10 level 8 synchros
Pls
Theduellogs: doesn't put nibiru at #1 spot
Me: impossible
Nibiru is actually at 2nd place of this list.
@@abuhassan8849 that exactly what i said?
Grinder golem is way stronger
Abu Hassan NO
ITS NOT EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAID
You said he didnt put it at number 1
You said ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about number 2
If someone didnt watch the video He would’ve thought its not in the video at first place
Because he is the only one who dosent actually tribute like the others
Because Nibiri is not banned and is situational.

One benenefit of santa claws is you can owner seal it and draw 1 card at your end phase.
And i do have a deck base around Owner Seals
I love that you get right into your videos
Top 10 monsters that tribute itself to special summon something
I was kinda hoping to see Ceruli, Guru of Dark World on this list. Yeah he almost never gets used, but since he allows the archetype to inherently activate all of their busted effects, a mention would have been interesting.
Also, EARTH Machines top 10.
Top 10 archetypes that have multiple boss monsters
What about a list of cards that use opponent's monsters on the field for cost, like Super Polymerization, Fallen of Albaz, Unchained Soul of Rage, Chimeratech Megafleet Dragon and so on...? Some even use from GY (Invocation)!
Top 10 monster that summon copies of themselves. Such as Nimble Momonga, Giant Germ and Don Turtle!
great! the video i was waiting for 2 years
Ive never played Yugioh but still watch your vids because they lit lmao
Back in the day ,I used Lava golem with either gravity bind or level limit area B
A control and burn deck. Was very effective.
This was before Synkro monsters lol
Same here! Also run some ultimate baseball kids and that trap that let you change all attributes to whatever you liked, fire of course! It was a blast!
@@Ginomirage13ftw Dna surgery or surgeon lol that card is such a troll
The problem I see with nibiru is that it must resolve to tribute all the monsters and sometimes people get a negate out before 5 summons
The D. D guide segment was pretty trippy

Devourer of Hundred Thousands
Devourer of Just a Few
I definitely think Iblee could be higher on the list. There’s a very good combo these days now that Mermaid is banned that involves Salamangreat Baleynx. By doing so, you end up with your opine t controllling an Iblee and having a Sanctuary on your field prevents them from ramming into Bale with it. Combined with a deck that can U-link easily (my favorite being Code Talkers) you can end on a board where you’re opponent can’t SS because of Iblee but can’t Link Summon due to the U-Link, as well as not being able to ram because of Sanctuary. This and more absolutely gives Iblee a higher spot just because it’s been much easier to pull off a lockdown with it.
I remember when I first saw Grinder Golem and was "...This is a joke, right?" lol me

Sphere Mode should be higher than Nibriu. It's less conditional, and he left out an important element to sphere mode.
It can't be targeted by effects or for attacks, and you get it back next turn. That's amazing to have not only a great removal but I get a wall back.
If you're gonna have tribute removal in your deck you should have sphere at 3. The only time you don't want it is if for some reason your opponent is playing slow and has 2 or less monsters. Which sure than a kaiju is preferable but in most situations I'll take sphere mode.
Grinder Golem is banned anyway so I don't count him but grinder golem was good for banish decks with inferno tempest
Top 10 monsters that are used against their own archetype. Like how the Chimeratech dragons can be used to shutdown cyber dragon decks
And that's all i Guess? Maybe fusion Monsters + super poly? But you Need to know what your opp Is playing.

i run lava golem in a yubel list. tributing 2 of my opponents monsters, then burning them for 1k then destroying it while chipping another 3k damage in is really good.
I don’t even play or collect an I still love watching your videos , never stop! Dnd channel is on point too
You can play either continues spell or normal spell that return your original monsters in your field
Lava Golem before the Duel Links burn damage nerf.
What did they change? I haven't played Duel Links since synchros got added
@@thedopdeity I heard they reduced the amount of effect damage of some cards there to prevent FTKs or something.
@@thedopdeity They halved lava golem burn damage, because lot early(or even now?) xyz monster can burn a lot of your LP, so for the starter, our mighty (pesky if you the opponent... )lava golem is the first victim😅...
@@rudyantohosalim2753 why wasnt burn damage halved to begin with? seems pretty silly considering all of them are balanced around an 8000 lp pool
@@ladyinwight Yes, that is the problem of duel links, if you never or don't pay attention to the master duel... I think players won't think that much...(unless they have critical thinking or pissed for losing like that a lot...)
Anyway, only Konami that could make the decisions so they should have the answer😂😂😂
What a great list. I thought Nibiru was going to be #1, but I completely forgot about Grinder Golem.
Suggestion:
"10 cards that are broken In Duelist of the Roses when compared to their OCG/TCG counterparts"
Two major examples: Pumpking the king of ghosts and Toon World"
Due to the nature of the board of the game and terrain effects, the first could make your monsters unbeatable if you stall long enough and the second forced you to kite Pegasus out of his comfort zone somehow.
I have 2 words for you: Mirror wall
Aqua dragon
Ultimate Perfect Moth
Top 10 cards you can discard from your hand would be awesome
I wanted to suggest Armityle the Chaos Phantasm - Phantom of Fury for this, but then remembered it doesn’t count since you don’t summon it to your opponents side, instead you summon it to your side, then give it to your opponent.
Then have the option of either crashing into it since it’s a 0 attack monster, or letting it live until the end phase, where it just banishes your opponents monsters and gives you the original Armityle,
I’m assuming that this isn’t anything good in meta but it’s a very fun card to use in casual games.
Top 10 Best Archtype Specific Cards would be a cool video! I love your videos man!
Top 20-11 Monsters Summoned To Your Opponents Side of the Field in YuGiOh
SHS transporter
1- can sp summon itself if you have no S/T in Gv and for rest of turn you can only SPsummon SHS
2- tribute itself to summon up to 2 of ANY monster to your opponents side of the field in def pos, draw 1 card for each (hard once per turn)
without the S/T SHS SP only condition, this could see play in the meta as it allows you to get rid of garnets in the hand with -1 while drawing 2, which is way better than
Pot of Desires as it gives you 2 monsters to battle
And there is actually one little thing that makes Sphere Mode even better, and that is it doesn't count as special summon, so it can get rid of floodgates like Archlord Kristya or Vanity's Ruler, which none of the other monsters on this list can do.
A deck that use kristya or vanity ruler usually only have 2 monsters at best. How can you uses sphere mode?
The only deck that use any of them are monarch and darklord and both of them don't really have good swarming capability.
@Rama Roy Nekroz can get Vanity's Ruler out and have a board full of monsters pretty easily, Darklord actually does like to swarm a bunch of monsters... a bunch of random high-level monsters that don’t do much outside of their turn, though.
I don't even play yugioh anymore and I love waiting for these videos.

Techically you can remove ultimate falcon because you’re reading a card effect. And ultimate falcon is unaffected
it would be an interesting idea to make top 10 cards of different archtypes
Top 10 link-2 monsters with bottom-left and bottom-right arrows?
It's a pretty stacked list honestly
Iblee, funnily enough, now sees the most play in code talker extra link decks, since it's a dark search target for cynet codec
I think that Dsetiny HERO Dark Angel should on the list, I don't know why it doesn't.
love how we can bounce these guys back to the hand to reuse again like Moonlight Black Rose
You forgot Lava Golem's most important effect: The badass Artwork
*And triggering Yugi Muto's PTSD*
Instantly knew Grinder Golem, Ra, Kaiju, and Lava Golem would be part of his top 5....and I'm right.
A few extra notes on 2 of the entries:
Volcanic Queen due to not being able to Normal Summon or Set it has really good synergy with Flame Spirit Ignis gimmick burn decks (particularly Infernoid ones) and pure Volcanic burn (RIP) since Reasoning and Monster Gate send it straight from the deck to the Grave to use for burn damage. Though the former role can also be easily filled by Lava Golem.
Santa Claws is actually a huge disappointment to me personally. Don't get me wrong: its good, but in Trickstar burn and Appropriate decks if that "You can draw 1 card" was forced rather than an option it would fit in those decks so much better.
Also for lava golem : dark spirit's mastery can search it so it can only be played once in deck that has over level 8 fiend (like unchained, or infernoid) so it is rare for it to brick in those deck
Gameciel can be consistently summoned with World Chalice or Crusadia Guardragon too, it’s actual effect is pretty great
Destiny hero dark angel is pretty good, but my enthusiasm for it kinda went down a bit now that people are using forbidden droplet more frequently
I think Girsu, the Orcust Mekk-Knight
should be here as well.
Playing santa claws in a toon deck gives you the option to comic hand it and you'll get the draw and they lose a monster
#1 asmr channel on RUclips
I use Iblee in Code Talkers, it helps to stop Nibiru as well, because it stops any special summon, so you can't Nibiru under Iblee
