The duel with Odion was really neat. He was a much different kind of duelist than most, and he made a really tough challenge for Joey, even with Jinzo.
Trap monster would be so much better if they didn't occupy the zone it came from. That way we can summon that trap monster while we can still use it's zone
Top 10 Main Deck Cards that are worth going -1 to use. I know advantage is everything in Yugioh, but there have been cards in the meta that go -1 like some hand traps and Kaijus.
I wouldn't call a kaiju or any hands traps a -1 stopping an effect is essentially destroying the card is many cases and in lots of cases stopping an effect is better than destruction
@@callumfootitt5366 It depends on how you look at it I suppose. I just thought it’s still a -1 because they still have one more resource than you in the whole exchange. Like how you can use monsters with negated effects for extra deck plays or the fact you still gotta actually get rid of Mr Sea Turtle once he pops up on their board.
@@raptorwithwings but you also wouldn't consider regeki to be a -1 I think its becuase on paper a regeki seems more powerfull that ash or imperm but in reality regeki could come off at 3 and be a decent card at best
I can't believe Zoma the Spirit didn't make the list. That was a playground staple that is an 1800 4star dark special summon with a magic cylinder like effect.
Odion with his Embodiment trap was cool to see in the anime and it was indeed one of the first trap monsters in the series and of course, it's worth mentioning Metal Reflector Slime fusing with Obelisk was also cool but Egyptian God Slime came to the actual card game too late.
Paleozoic has been my favorite Archetype since they came out, I love the way they play and look. I'm looking forward too more of them coming out in the future!
Added bonus for Metal Reflect Slime is that it can be used in Rank 10 XYZ decks (yeah there are better options but I thought it was worth pointing out)
@@Straswa It have a low win ration since it can get overpowered before summoning the boss and then there's still the issue of backrow but when it catches them offguard, it really wrecks them, especially it's a x2 attack against a field full of 0 ATK monsters.
You just gave me a genuinely evil set up and big kill for a play - Igknights for scales 2 to 7 MRS is summoned Metamorphosis into Cyber End Pend summon Spell Cancellor + Jinzo + Summon Reactor Brutal beatdown in the best case
I do feel like you should’ve addressed the issue these cards had until Master Rule 4. The fact that summoning them would leave the spell/trap zone they were in unusable.
I love trap monsters! I had this janky Uria deck that I used for the story duels in Legacy of the Duelist and it was quite fun to play, even if it wasn't very consistent.
I think Angel Statue Azurune deserves a mention. It can tribute any trap monster to negate the special summon of a Monster and has the same effect as Tiki curse only applied to itself. It's actually an extremely good card in a Trap Monster deck.
The continuous trap monster "Angel statue azurune" that negates special summon(s) should have been on this list tbh. It's basically a solemn strike but as spell speed 2 by destroying any continuous trap monster in the monster zone that was summoned from the spell/trap zone to negate the summon including itself. Being lvl 4 also helps with control decks like guru or traptrix who would be able to use her and another lvl 4 monster to make galliant granite to search either nibiru the primal being or king of the heavenly prison. If she gets destroyed by battle you get to destroy the monster that attacked her or she attacked into and with her stats as a monster 1800atk/def main deck normal summons of many decks except a few like dinos cannot beat over her. The card can actually be splashed in any deck since she can pop herself and not specifically a deck centered around trap monsters and since it negate multiple summons it can stop a whole pendulum summon of 5 on it's own.
This list makes me hope that one day Odion's deck will get new support like how Mako's and Bakura's decks did, I would esspecially love to see an upgraded version of Mystical Beast of Serket!
ngl, I was expecting Angle Statue to be on the list as it have decent stats, an eff to negate a summon by sending a trap monster is pretty nice, especially when it can send itself too.
I use Dark Sister in my Duel Links XSaber deck - she adds A GRIP of consistency to the deck and gives me a ton of options to get to Hyunlei (3back row priority pop on summon) among many other strong level 6 synchros

Speaking as a Shaddoll player my favorite use of Core is getting quick and easy access to schism using both Squamatas and Constructs mill effects to dump them both while having it as both an extra body or a fusion target when I draw into it
I just want to add that, metal reflect slime can also be useful for rank 10 train decks. At least that's what I used to run it with, though rank 10 trains arent the most competitive archetype.
Top 10 Duel Links playable characters. You could base this on the duel skills they can get, the cards you get from their level ups and their taunts for the funnies
That's not what the ruling update did. What changed in the ruling update was that Trap monsters that include the text "This card is also still a Trap" no longer take up the Spell/Trap Zone they were using after they are Summoned. So, let's say, for example, that you have an Embodiment of Apophis set in your middle Spell/Trap Zone. Under the previous rules, you would Special Summon the Embodiment of Apophis to the Monster Zone of your choice, but your middle Spell/Trap Zone would still be treated as occupied. Under the updated rules, that middle Zone would no longer be considered occupied, so you could put a new Spell/Trap card there if you wanted to. Even with the update, though, you can still destroy that Embodiment of Apophis with (for example) MST.
@@djkates1916 Ruling question, if you know: So in old rulings, if you Book of Moon'd a Trap Monster it'd go back to the S/T Zone, which is the main reason you needed a space for one. Does that mean that Trap Monsters are now more like Tokens/Link Monsters where they're just immune to the effects of cards that flip monsters face-down? Or is there an edge case there, like, do they go back to S/T but only if there's space?
@@theoreticallyinsane5 If a Trap Monster (that is still a Trap when it becomes a monster, such as Embodiment of Apophis) is flipped face-down (such as by Book of Moon), it will stop being a monster, and it will be placed in an available Spell/Trap Zone, or if there is none, it will be sent to the GY by game mechanics. Note that this does not apply for Traps that stop being Traps when they become monsters, such as the Paleozoics. For those cards, they can still be flipped face-down, and will still be monsters when that happens. If they are later flipped face-up again, they will again have the monster characteristics specified in their text.
@@djkates1916 Trap monsters like paleon who will not be treated as traps if flipped face down retain stats while face down which other monsters retain. As in you can even use them as fusion material to make Egyptian god slime for example.
@@djkates1916 I'm willing to admit I'm wrong if you get a source for that? could have sworn that since it no longer takes up S/T zones it couldn't be mst'd. Might ask a judge later if you don't before me lol.
It would be nice to see Super Quant cards appear on a list some day. I'm not sure what list they could fit on and Great Magnus may have already been on a list sometime in the past but I really enjoy the Power Ranger inspiration that the Super Quant have.
I remember a old school trap monster (something like zuma or kuma) which was basicly a magic cylinder. You could ran i to monster eith its 1800 atk and thrn your opponent would tske aage equal to the monsters attack. Won so.e games like that. Also its a nice def wall if opp is low on lp

I've always been obssesed with these cards ever since i saw Reflect Slime in the anime. I think its such an awesome concept to have a trap turn into a monster. I'd LOVE it to be able to have a deck filled with these, like a whole archetype of trap monsters. Idk a field spell that protected them from effects or smt. Would be so cool c:
statue of anguish pattern's destruction effect isn't once per turn, fun fact, which led me to construct one of the most fun casual decks I've ever played which featured no monster cards whatsoever. admittedly the opponent summoning jinzo was an ftk but considering I was mostly playing it against my brother's malefic deck it worked just fine.
Gotta say my favorite deck to run in Duel Links was Paleozoic trap monsters, Odion's skill did 200 burn damage per trap activated. DL only had canadia, and a few other less good paleozoics who's names I can't remember, such as the one that could return a banished card to the GY, discard 1 paleozoic to draw 2, and the one to increase a monster's atk/def by 500 for a turn. I ran those as well as jar of greed and accumulated fortune, but the kicker of the deck was Amulet of Ambition and wetlands, along with Dewdark of the ice barrier, which could attack directly with 2400 if wetlands was up and could go into level 6 syncros with 2 other paleos on the board.
I tried out YGO Duel Links yesterday again for the first time in two years, and just by watching this video it now hits me how broken the DL Meta became from introducing the new summoning types and whatnot, as everyone and their mother seem to just swarm the field and it is almost like the TCG all over again... 2500 DEF is probably a non-issue for most decks in DL today (unless I was just super super unlucky the few duels I did against other people). >_
Metal Reflect Slime did see play in 2015 or 2016, don’t remember exactly when. It was a niche option in Train decks, due to being an easy to summon lvl 10 monster
Just to add, Metal reflect slime in the anime was fused with Revial jam to make the God slime monster, as well as all its support coming from mariks other cards used in the anime, since marik used slimes.
I do remember Metal Reflect Slime tho, back in the day we sided Beast King Barbaros, and extra Gemini sparks in hero city decks to get over it because we couldn't run it over normally.
Actually, it depends whether the removal specifies a Spell/Trap card or a card in the Spell/Trap Zones. They're still treated as Traps even when they're in the Monster Zones.
I guess another thing to note about Metal Reflect Slime is it's ludicrous level for how "easy" it is to bring out. An almost free Lvl 10 monster, you could use it for Rituals as basically a 1 card Ritual engine, or just use two of them to bring out a Rank 10 Xyz Monster. Even then, I doubt it would be too insane. But the possibilities it makes just because of it's high level alone is nothing to scoff at.
Fun fact: Conquistador, Huaquero and Guardian are all in Spanish. Guardian's spelling is identical from Spanish to English. In addition, Huaquero is actually from Colombia, Argentina, Peu, Bolivia and the like. It makes a reference to thieves that would pilfer historical (often prehispanic) sites.
Note: for the card "the phantom knights of shade brigandine", It is pronounced "brig-an-deen". ("Brig" as in "send 'em to the brig") (Also a brigandine, is a type of chestplate comprised of small layers plates of metal, with cloth riveted to the front of it)
Top 10 cards that have a Yugioh term name after them, like how Tower now gerernally just means big boss monster that is hard to get rid off and not the card itself.
Speedroid Dupligate can also summon its self but it is not as generic as the trap cards on this list. When I saw this video I thinked about dupligate. Nice video, take my like
Metal Reflect Slime is both aesthetically impressive, has a practical effect and was very impactful in the anime, so it's easily my favorite monster trap.
Could've added that Metal Reflect Slime kinda got Metamorphosis banned for being able to summon Cyber End Dragon, a Level 10 fusion monster, and bypass it's tricky requirements (before we had the extra support like Core, Drei, etc.). A two card combo to get a 4000 beatstick with piercing battle damage in the early days was a problem.
Okay so, I was wondering... See, I just got back into Magic the Gathering (hold on, I'm going somewhere with this), and I've come across a card that I really enjoy. It's called Thousand Year Storm, and what it does is that it casts a copy of any sorcery (equivalent of a Normal Spell Card) or instant (imagine a Quick Play Spell Card that you can play from your hand on your opponent's turn as well as your own) for every sorcery or instant that was cast that turn. Eg. I cast two instants, a sorcery, and then another instant, the second instant activates twice, the sorcery activates three times, and the last instant activates four times. Thousand Year Storm is also expensive to cast, meaning that you'll be wanting to cast it on the tenth turn or so to take advantage. What I'm asking is would a similar effect to TYS be possible in Yugioh, what would the activation cost be, and how would it change the metagame?
I'll tell you how good Paliozoics where back in 2017. My Friend Cooper Owen got 20th at a YCS with Paliozoics and Frogs deck running "Toadally Awesome" at 3 copies. I was playing the new Zoodiac Engine with Kaijus in the mix and got 39th behind him. I would've got top 20 also, but my final opponent was a zoodiac mirror match and I ran out of resources game 3 and lost a close one. But my last match loss was super sweet due to my 2nd game. I went first and my opponent dropped Maxx "C" on me. I then summoned a manticore of darkness, sent it to the grave, got another one, popped it with my Drident, and started an infinite loop to deck out my opponent for my only match win. When we called a judge over to check the legality of the play, judge says to my opponent 'he got you good man!" and to me he says "how long you been playing?" I told the truth that I'd been playing 3 months. He was like "damn! somebody learns fast!"
Paleozoics are THE trap monster archtype. Not only because thats their dntire gimic. But also because they are AMAZING at what they are doing! Few decks do that.
you should do some lists based on rarities. best cards that are available in common, best starlight rares, best collector's rare, best ultis, best ghost rares, etc. also top 10 cards with alternate arts (not including censored arts)
Eldlich may be as splashable as Invoked, maybe more, but the amount of support it grants to Zombie decks is even more insane. Everyone knows it can make Zombie World even more powerful As a relatively new player however, my very first functional deck was Mayakashi Bone Tower, and so splashing Eldlich into that made it tons more competitive for what it can do It granted more board presence to an extremely fragile OTK strategy, but also let me easily search out my missing combo pieces, as all Mayakashis and Soul Absorbing Bone Tower were zombies Funny enough, before I even got into yugioh, I was given only two physical cards as a gift: Mine Mole and Soul-Absorbing Bone Tower. It's oddly fitting how one is a generic type support and the other is an OTK enabler, which led into my very first competitively viable casual deck being an OTK supported by a generic type support
Props to Odion to be the character to present the Trap Monster to the card game.
Odion is my fav character in all of the 1st yugioh

trap monsters were always some of my favorites to play back then
Shade Brigadine is like one of the best cards in Traptrix 😤
Metal Reflect Slime did see play in 2015 or 2016, don’t remember exactly when. It was a niche option in Train decks, due to being an easy to summon lvl 10 monster
Seeing how you talk about Zombie World is a great card, I think a video about top 10 field spell is gonna be great.
Was curious if Pseudo trap monster cards were going to be mentioned. Nice.
Just to add, Metal reflect slime in the anime was fused with Revial jam to make the God slime monster, as well as all its support coming from mariks other cards used in the anime, since marik used slimes.
I guess top three would be phantom Knight, Eldlich and paleo trap monsters.
I do remember Metal Reflect Slime tho, back in the day we sided Beast King Barbaros, and extra Gemini sparks in hero city decks to get over it because we couldn't run it over normally.
Yes, i waited a long time for this. Thank you!
To note, Trap monsters are no longer removable via S/T removal since they no longer take up spots in both the backrow and monster zone.
Actually, it depends whether the removal specifies a Spell/Trap card or a card in the Spell/Trap Zones. They're still treated as Traps even when they're in the Monster Zones.
I guess another thing to note about Metal Reflect Slime is it's ludicrous level for how "easy" it is to bring out. An almost free Lvl 10 monster, you could use it for Rituals as basically a 1 card Ritual engine, or just use two of them to bring out a Rank 10 Xyz Monster.
Even then, I doubt it would be too insane. But the possibilities it makes just because of it's high level alone is nothing to scoff at.
Loved using high level trap monsters with Galaxy Queen's Light
Odion approves this list.
Top 10 best monsters to send directly from the Extra deck to the GY.
Ayy they got my Boy Statue of anguish pattern
I really dig that pronunciation of Uria. It's not how I pronounce it, but it sounds cool.
Neat analysis! Thanks for uploading!
You forgot to mention that Dinomischus doesn't discard as a cost, which is amazing for some decks
Fun fact:
Conquistador, Huaquero and Guardian are all in Spanish. Guardian's spelling is identical from Spanish to English. In addition, Huaquero is actually from Colombia, Argentina, Peu, Bolivia and the like. It makes a reference to thieves that would pilfer historical (often prehispanic) sites.
Top 10 link monsters of all time
And thanks for your vedios bro ❤
Despite being the one who suggested this, I barely play the game so this was quite informative.
as for another suggestion: Top Ten Turtles in Yugioh
Hey! That's when all else fades in the background. Good taste
If it hasn't been done yet, I'd like to see you do a "Top 10 Cards Great for Deck-Thinning" sometime.
“Ooria”
You know, the Sacred beast
I'm noticing a good number of these share lore.
I use that clay doll trap card in Duel Links.
Note: for the card "the phantom knights of shade brigandine",
It is pronounced "brig-an-deen".
("Brig" as in "send 'em to the brig")
(Also a brigandine, is a type of chestplate comprised of small layers plates of metal, with cloth riveted to the front of it)
Also, this is coming from someone who is a massive armor / weapons guy. ("Rusty Bardiche" was pronounced correctly though)
Top 10 cards that have a Yugioh term name after them, like how Tower now gerernally just means big boss monster that is hard to get rid off and not the card itself.
Can I just say that I'm from south America and you pronounced "Huaquero" quite naturally
Would love to see zoma the spirit be on the list~
Speedroid Dupligate can also summon its self but it is not as generic as the trap cards on this list. When I saw this video I thinked about dupligate. Nice video, take my like
*i've won a bunch of games in duel links with 30 traps, a few ran 4/7 xyz, and the trap burn skill.*
Metal Reflect Slime is both aesthetically impressive, has a practical effect and was very impactful in the anime, so it's easily my favorite monster trap.
Could've added that Metal Reflect Slime kinda got Metamorphosis banned for being able to summon Cyber End Dragon, a Level 10 fusion monster, and bypass it's tricky requirements (before we had the extra support like Core, Drei, etc.). A two card combo to get a 4000 beatstick with piercing battle damage in the early days was a problem.
Great vid DuelLogs!
Okay so, I was wondering...
See, I just got back into Magic the Gathering (hold on, I'm going somewhere with this), and I've come across a card that I really enjoy. It's called Thousand Year Storm, and what it does is that it casts a copy of any sorcery (equivalent of a Normal Spell Card) or instant (imagine a Quick Play Spell Card that you can play from your hand on your opponent's turn as well as your own) for every sorcery or instant that was cast that turn. Eg. I cast two instants, a sorcery, and then another instant, the second instant activates twice, the sorcery activates three times, and the last instant activates four times.
Thousand Year Storm is also expensive to cast, meaning that you'll be wanting to cast it on the tenth turn or so to take advantage.
What I'm asking is would a similar effect to TYS be possible in Yugioh, what would the activation cost be, and how would it change the metagame?
I'll tell you how good Paliozoics where back in 2017.
My Friend Cooper Owen got 20th at a YCS with Paliozoics and Frogs deck running "Toadally Awesome" at 3 copies.
I was playing the new Zoodiac Engine with Kaijus in the mix and got 39th behind him. I would've got top 20 also, but my final opponent was a zoodiac mirror match and I ran out of resources game 3 and lost a close one.
But my last match loss was super sweet due to my 2nd game. I went first and my opponent dropped Maxx "C" on me. I then summoned a manticore of darkness, sent it to the grave, got another one, popped it with my Drident, and started an infinite loop to deck out my opponent for my only match win.
When we called a judge over to check the legality of the play, judge says to my opponent 'he got you good man!" and to me he says "how long you been playing?" I told the truth that I'd been playing 3 months. He was like "damn! somebody learns fast!"
Paleozoics are THE trap monster archtype.
Not only because thats their dntire gimic.
But also because they are AMAZING at what they are doing!
Few decks do that.
Toadally awesome just looks like a card that'd be from a cartoon parodying yugioh and i love it
Dinomischus is more like a combination of both Karma Cut AND Rageki Break, since it can target back row as well as monsters.
Perfect timing, question can trap monsters be used for extra deck plays, like xyz, and link?
Yes
you should do some lists based on rarities. best cards that are available in common, best starlight rares, best collector's rare, best ultis, best ghost rares, etc. also top 10 cards with alternate arts (not including censored arts)
6:31. Always love to see monsters in the anime made into real cards :D
Oh I have quite a bunch of these always in my deck, even have a few in my Cyber Dragon deck
I have been looking for this one
Eldlich may be as splashable as Invoked, maybe more, but the amount of support it grants to Zombie decks is even more insane. Everyone knows it can make Zombie World even more powerful
As a relatively new player however, my very first functional deck was Mayakashi Bone Tower, and so splashing Eldlich into that made it tons more competitive for what it can do
It granted more board presence to an extremely fragile OTK strategy, but also let me easily search out my missing combo pieces, as all Mayakashis and Soul Absorbing Bone Tower were zombies
Funny enough, before I even got into yugioh, I was given only two physical cards as a gift: Mine Mole and Soul-Absorbing Bone Tower. It's oddly fitting how one is a generic type support and the other is an OTK enabler, which led into my very first competitively viable casual deck being an OTK supported by a generic type support
