When Independent Nightingale is TENTH on the list, that gets you thinking about just how powerful some burn cards can be (although I'm guessing it was so low only because the burn damage part of its effect wasn't really the main reason it was so good.).
Only reason Nightingale is 10th is because its Effect is rarely used by *itself*. As pointed out in the Video, the real draw is copying it by something else.
Magical explosion and life equalizer being outright banned in the OCG could be because they have upstart and chicken game (and I suppose into the void) unlimited, which are the easiest way to abuse those two cards.
Yes, Konami's responses to the Magical Chicken FTK were: OCG: Life Equalizer + Magical Explosion is the best Chicken Game FTK, let's ban Equalizer to kill it TCG: Chicken Game gives too much draw power, it has potential for all sorts of FTK strategies, let's ban it
@@gargravarr2 Seeing as Chicken Game is barely used nowadays in the OCG, their thought process clearly worked, so... not sure what you're getting at lol
@@catisreckless4647 the ocg method will likely result in other things banned over time bc of chicken game interactions while the tcg actually addressed the true problem card
Sophia comes to mind. 1 ritual, fusion, synchro and xyz to summon, cant be negated, banishes hand, GY and everything else on the field. I tried to make this work with Gren Maju but it's just too much, it's hard to streamline a deck that has to play 4 diff summoning mechanics.
@@bbrodriguez33 Maybe a Relinquished deck combined with Fables and Skull Servants running Baby Tiragon might work, maybe with some Prank Kids or Thunder Dragons splashed in for consistency. Relinquished and Prank Kids for the fusion, since you can use Instant Fusion for consistency. Fables for the synchro. Skull Servants for xyz. Skull Servants and Relinquished would work well for the ritual summon.
@@qty1315 don't forget to add 3 copies of Dogu, Single Purchase and Left Arm Offering for even more consistency. Edit: also, you NEED to play 41 cards with 1 upstart goblin
Woah, I never looked at Magical Explosion closely, despite using it in ftk decks online. I always thought the art was of a cannon, like some of the other burn cards. It's just an Old Vindictive Magician o__O
“Dark snake syndrome” during your standby phase it deals damage to you and your opponent x200 (then doubles every turn) 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400.... 12800. You just need a way like “des wombat” or something to protect/heal your LP
Mystic wok on metal reflect slime for 3000 lp gain. I made a couple different Dark snake syndrome decks back in the day, fun and hilarious strategy if your opponent can't immediately respond to it.
I loved how busted that game was. Like how riryoku took HALF YOUR OPPONENT'S LP and used it to give a PERMANENT atk buff to your monster. I think that was one of the cards that was unobtainable in the player's deck, but still ridiculous. Then you have sparks with 50 dmg lol
Yep; in early Yugioh games, a lot of the burn cards were nerfed for some reason, so Sparks doing 50 damage was in several. It was also in Forbidden Memories as well, for example.
@@sirswagabadha4896 Yeah one of the 45 unobtainable cards. Although a majority of those cards were transformation bases such as "Larvae of Moth/Pupa of Moth" Ritual monsters such as "Cosmo Queen or Mask of Light & Dark" or Fusion cards such as "Crimson Sunbird or Nekogal #2". Others on the unobtainable list were things which were Destiny Draw exclusives such as Arsenal Bug or Woodland Sprite. You could techincally use Riryoku with an effect that brought back Spell cards from the grave or if the opponent lacked any monsters in hand and thus set Riryoku instead of equipping it.
All this, and NO Solar Flare Dragon? That was my go-to monster back in the days when I still played the game when I attended tournaments at a hobby shop. Solar Flare Dragon is a level 4 Pyro type, Fire Attribute, monster that had two effects. One of which was a burn effect. The burn effect deals 500 points of damage during the controller's End Phase. Its other effect was being able to be protected from attacks if there was another Pyro type monster on the field. Put two Solar Flare Dragons on the field and you had a very solid line of defense for your Life Points that ALSO deals damage. I know it's a bit dated these days, but it helped me last in duels. If you had three of them out and SOMEHOW your opponent had no monsters out with the Molten Destruction field spell active, you could end it by your next turn. Molten Destruction boosts Fire attribute monster's attack points by 500 but take away 400 defense points. Solar Flare Dragon has a base attack power of 1500. The aforementioned field spell would boost the mentioned monster's attack to 2000, allowing you to cut your opponent's life points down to size. Then the burn effect from ending your own turn if they had no way to disarm the effect. Of course, that'd be the BEST case scenario. Of course, it also doesn't hurt to have a Backfire Trap Card ready.
Suggesting this for a year and a half finally paid off and I'm happy it did. What's funny is that there's maybe two cards here that I expected to be on the list.
I know these are not the best ones, but i'd loved an honorable mention to Lava Golem and gagaga Cowboy for their importance as Burn Damage Dealers in yugioh history c:
@@MercuryA2000 Back in the day I created a deck with one of my favourite friend (still today) based on burn damage. X3 secret Barrel, X3 Des Koala, every sort of magic card that did damage (Ookazii, Wave motion cannon), marshmallows. We were hated by all of the kids of the school ahahahaa (jk obviously)
@@cristianorossi8622 I didn't even go full burn. It was another kid who had the stupid marshmallow of stalling. Back then I had a warrior mishmash. It... Wasn't good. At all.

Might have been one, but I recycled it.
I'm very surprised "Dark Room of Nightmare" isn't in this video. It really multiples all the card effect damage and does a secondary burn attack for every burn dmg you do. A hugeee chain of burns.
I'm glad that Lyrilusc - Independent Nightingale finally gets a top-ten spot in this channel. As for a new video idea, how about "Top 10 Worst Cards That Use Spell Counters in YuGiOh"?
I remember my friends malding when I played triple D.D. Dynamite and a bunch of other burning spells combined with the first Caius deck and 3x soul release
#1 Chain Energy. I use a burn deck and this is the most under appreciated card out there. Why? Most players don't have cards that will remove a spell right away. Your opponent will usually need to play 'at least' 4 cards for them to start actually doing anything that these current decks actually do. This means an easy 2k.
Back in the day when the format was just Battle City era rules I had a crafty stall deck before I even knew what it was called. It was a stall burn deck that I didn't realize that had also like 13 different strategies you could employ but it was all difficult to do any of them because you could easily brick really hardcore since there was no real archtype engine at the time to search/ mill your deck for what you needed. Anyways back then before anyone really knew what it was, I'd throw down my Wave-Motion Cannon and just forget about it for (x) amount of turns but I'd keep track of how many of my standby phases passed. It would ultimately be my trump card if some things didn't work out. My main method of how I'd want the duel to go was a combination of using Umi or Legendary Ocean + Tornado Wall + Gravity Bind + Mask of Restrict + Mucus Yolk, as the point of this was to annoy the hell out of my opponent to not be able to do anything since most people would tend to fill their deck with pork LvL 4+ monsters, and Mucus Yolk could attack their LP directly and increase its ATK by 1k per turn if it deals damage (if its ATK is ever reduced back to zero for some reason by a card effect you'd have to start all over again). This method was designed with the intent to force my opponent into using their best spell cards to get rid of them, while my true intent was to build up cards in my hand to do the next thing. The next thing would be a combination of the Eye of Truth + Bad Reaction to Simochi, and of course, Wave-Motion Cannon. But by then the duel would normally be over unless I felt like stalling it a little more. The main point of forcing my opponent to use up their best cards to end my stalling, is to bust out my Buster Blader & boss monster(s) Dark Paladin/ etc. Normally around then at least 15+ standby phases had passed and people still forgot that I had Wave-Motion Cannon in play and no matter what it'd be an OTK. edit: Oh and also, I forget what the card was but before I traded it away for a Tyrant Dragon, I had a card that could skip my opponents next turn to bring me back to a Main Phase 1, this worked out really well for my Wave-Motion Cannon.
Ah yes, I’d almost forgotten. That brilliant decision to limit Master Diamond instead of just banning the actual problem card, Lady Lapis, who barely even fits the Gem Knight archetype in the first place
I was thinking Nurse Ridicule or Bad reaction should be on here. The effect literally turns any effect to give your opponent LP into burn effects. Not only dose that lead to OTK starts (using cards like Gift Card), but it can also turn your opponent's cards against them in case they play LP recovery cards (like an Aromage deck or any Banish deck with Soul Absorption out).
I'm surprised Ameba isn't on the list, even an honorable mention. I mean sure it requires a Creature Swap-like effect but it deals 2000 points of burn damage to your opposition.
I'm more surprised that Cauldron of the Old man was not honourable mentioned while wave-motion cannon is, cus cauldron can burn 8000 LP in 2 less turns than wave-motion cannon.
Another burn FTK you could mention was the Slash Draw one which used Dangers and Saryuja to organize your deck in a way you could accomplish it easily. Because you could summon Dangers with ease and they allow you to draw cards, the engine was super consistent and allow you to fill the field with at least 4 cards, meaning 8k of damage in one hit
Years ago, I played a casual against a friend who tried to make a Magical Explosion deck. He got his GY all set up but hadn't set the M.E. yet. Not sure why, but it goes to my turn. What he didn't know I had planned to discard Jinzo from my hand for a cost, and then flip my Call/Haunted at the start of his turn. Worked like a charm. Lol Fun times in 2010's.
Honorable mention to Barrel Behind the Door, which can instantly turn any self-burn card into a massive middle finger to your opponent. My favorite "No You" card.
Before the Six Samurai Deck, Burn Deck was my primary. My brother hates me for it. Other players didn't take me seriously at first but when they experienced burn damage at 2k-3k per burst, they realized the power of burn decks.
7:00 I'm not an expert in gem-knights or gem-knight ftk. But personally i would consider the Gem-Knight link-2 (Phantom Quartz) a WAY better way to loop Master Diamond, since the link-2's first effect allows you to search a card on summon, and most importantly, it's second effect allows you to return resources from the banished zone (i think) and GY to the deck in order to perform a fusion summon, which means you can burn with lazuli, summon master diamond to burn again and make the link-2 using master diamond and another monster, then you proceed to return master diamond and other gem-knights to the deck in order to summon Lady Brilliant Diamond using Phantom Quartz's effect, which can then summon Master Diamond with no additional effort and burn once again (which is most likely 8000 points of damage already)
A good burn card that supports aqua, fish, and sea serpent type of is Poseidon Wave, which is a trap card that can negate an attack on your monster plus deal 800 burn damage per aqua, fish, and sea serpent type of card that you control.
I would like to see a list of cards used in reaction to opponent's battle, such as Magic Cylinder, Mirror Force ect. If you have enough cards to separate them into the two categories of inflicting damage compared to negating the attack or destroying the opponent's monsters, then all the better! Thanks for asking for suggestions, and considering them
Depends on if you're talking about strength NOW vs. strength at the time they were released, but Chaos Emperor Dragon and Dark Strike Fighter should be on the list as they were meta-defining burn cards that ultimately got banned.
You could use chain strike with decks like counter fairies that have a lot of trigger effects that go off after a counter trap resolves, or with cards that gain spell counters from only normal spells
As a MTG player (don’t ask why I watch these even though I don’t play YGO, idk lol just entertaining to learn about another card game) it feels to me like Konami just bans any card that becomes good or could become good. In MTG very few cards are banned, and if they are it’s only with heavy consideration or only for a certain format etc. It feels like in every one of these videos every time you talk about a card being good you’re like “and then it was banned / limited so it couldn’t be good anymore”. I’m sure the fact that there’s not a resource system like mana in YGO is most of the reason, as mana costs inherently limit and balance cards. It feels like having the option to run more cards and just making good counters for problem cards makes for a healthier game to me.
I get where you're coming from, I also play MTG, but most of the shit on the ban list is degenerate. Like drop half your opponents hand and set up a board before they can play degenerate. The mana and set rotations are huge for magic not having to ban stuff, Yu-Gi-Oh not having mana just enables such bullshit strats
Another thing with Magical Explosion is that it was banned swiftly after Sky Striker came out, as we all know it's a heavy spell deck. They also had 3 copies of That Grass Looks Greener. Grass was moved to 2 on the same list that this was banned and both have remained there to this day.
Maybe for a top 10 could be "Top 10 Link monsters that were given to older archetypes so they could still be competative/usable in Master Rule 4"? Or maybe generic links that were given as fusion, synchro, xyz support when master rule 4 was in effect?
how about making a top 10 cards for each arctype? Maybe you could explain the best combos available in each of them, I'd love to see a video specialized on shaddolls
I learn of Magical Explosion and Life Equalizer from Dzeeff when he talked about Exodia and why they're better at doing what Exodia is suppose to do than Exodia itself.
Crimson Nova, The Dark Cubic Lord is a 3k beater with an easy summoning mechanic, has protection from monsters with 3k or less original attack, can attack a second time if it destroys a monster, and deals 3k burn damage to both players at the end of the turn. Really wish it was on the list, it's one of my favorite cards.
Top ten non-effect extra deck monsters. Criteria for ranking can include: - their usage as beaters/walls - how easy they are to bring out - how generic/common their materials are - utility for extra deck climbing (synchro climbing, link climbing, xyz rank ups, etc) - usefulness based on their type, level, or attribute - potential to be cheated out - any support cards they can make use of - actual competitive appearances, if any
I think you have missed several better options in preference of high end monsters which actually would be easier to use as they are continuous traps (for instance, though I know you did mention secret barrel), don't require prerequisite cards to get out (fusion, XYZ or even high level tributes), can still be protected from being destroyed, and they do some serious amounts of accumulated damage. For instance "Ominous Fortunetelling" inflicts 700 damage if you can correctly guess what type of card you randomly choose from your opponent's hand, but considering the amount of monsters people need that is always a good bet and if you think they have special summoned everything they can they probably still have more monsters in their hand (especially if you think people tend to use hand traps now a days, while setting their trap cards due to taking a turn before they can be played). So keeping it on the field for 4 turns may not inflict 2,800 all the time, but it surely is an easier card to play than some of the cards in the video! And if you want something with a little bit more certainty then multiple copies of "Solar Flare Dragon" is great, as each card inflicts 500 damage to your opponent during the end phase of your turn and can not be attacked while there is another pyro card on the field - so if you have 2 on the field at the same time, they can protect each other from attacks while inflicting 1,000 damage each of your turns. I say that is a very good combo which is very easy to get out as they are level 4, and now a days you can summon them on the same turn without too much difficulty.
Top 10 Tuner Monsters (that aren't mainly used as hand traps); Top 10 Synchro Tuner Monsters; Top 10 Ritual Monsters; Top 10 Union Monsters; Top 10 Gemini Monsters; Top 10 Link 4 Monsters; Top 10 "Number" Xyz Monsters; Top 10 Monsters whose ATK/DEF depend on their effects; Top 10 Level 4 Monsters with 2000 ATK or more; 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; Top 10 Best Equip Cards.
Top 10 archetypes with only 1 Fusion Monster. Top 10 Synchro Tuners. Top 10 Wyrm monsters. Top 10 Goblin cards. Okay. I'm done making my obligatory suggestions. I remember my trap burn deck. Used defensive monsters while running Secret Barrel, Just Desserts, Ceasefire and so forth. Never won in real life with it, but I still got a kick out of using it against AIs in videogames. Lapis Lazuli is probably my favorite Gem-Knight fusion just for the burn effect and why I fell for the archetype as a whole.
4:00 I did the math 7,200 divide 300 equals 24 slots but I counted and there are only 22 slots 10 main monster zones, 10 spell/trap card zones, and 2 extra deck zones, all that equals to 22 slots, so where is the extra 2 come from to make 24 ?
Cowboy has won more games than any other card is this list. So it has to be in the list. And what about D.D Dynamite? You can play that card on a Maju deck and Maju have seen lot of comp play. Good video
I imagine that copying the effects of cards from the graveyard could still be possible if it was archetype specific, it’s much easier to balance the copying effect when it can only target a single archetype instead of literally anything in the game
magical explosion I think would work with decks that allow you to mill your own cards with effects like card destruction or ones that force you to take cards directly from the deck to the graveyard
Surprised lycorisica or dark room of nightmare wasn't on this list. Those 2 along with lightstage and Trickstar reincarnation are the reason trickstars are such a hated deck.

This method was designed with the intent to force my opponent into using their best spell cards to get rid of them, while my true intent was to build up cards in my hand to do the next thing.
The next thing would be a combination of the Eye of Truth + Bad Reaction to Simochi, and of course, Wave-Motion Cannon.
But by then the duel would normally be over unless I felt like stalling it a little more. The main point of forcing my opponent to use up their best cards to end my stalling, is to bust out my Buster Blader & boss monster(s) Dark Paladin/ etc. Normally around then at least 15+ standby phases had passed and people still forgot that I had Wave-Motion Cannon in play and no matter what it'd be an OTK.
edit: Oh and also, I forget what the card was but before I traded it away for a Tyrant Dragon, I had a card that could skip my opponents next turn to bring me back to a Main Phase 1, this worked out really well for my Wave-Motion Cannon.
Ah yes, I’d almost forgotten. That brilliant decision to limit Master Diamond instead of just banning the actual problem card, Lady Lapis, who barely even fits the Gem Knight archetype in the first place
Blaze fenix was that first viable deck I made love it.
I used to love using Chain Energy in burn decks, fun little card
Blaze Phoenix is my deck boss, love that burning bird
For some reason, I was having too much fun in repeating "... the Burning Bombardment Bird" 3:38
he does have a fun way of saying that, lol
Alliteration Son!
XD
This remember me of one of my favorite archetypes Iron Chain!
I was expecting Gagaga Cowboy and Gustav Max to show up. Both are commonly used finishers for when you come just short of an OTK.
You forgot the Red Eyes Dark Dragun
I was thinking Nurse Ridicule or Bad reaction should be on here. The effect literally turns any effect to give your opponent LP into burn effects. Not only dose that lead to OTK starts (using cards like Gift Card), but it can also turn your opponent's cards against them in case they play LP recovery cards (like an Aromage deck or any Banish deck with Soul Absorption out).
I'm surprised Ameba isn't on the list, even an honorable mention. I mean sure it requires a Creature Swap-like effect but it deals 2000 points of burn damage to your opposition.
I'm more surprised that Cauldron of the Old man was not honourable mentioned while wave-motion cannon is, cus cauldron can burn 8000 LP in 2 less turns than wave-motion cannon.
Too inconsistent...
Fair enough.
Meanwhile Magic Cylinder is off crying in a corner somewhere, remembering the days of turning an opponent's 8000 ATK monster into 8000 damage.
@@BloodfelX I still remember the day I got Red Nova Dragon to 9000 ATK and hit a Magic Cylinder.
Another burn FTK you could mention was the Slash Draw one which used Dangers and Saryuja to organize your deck in a way you could accomplish it easily. Because you could summon Dangers with ease and they allow you to draw cards, the engine was super consistent and allow you to fill the field with at least 4 cards, meaning 8k of damage in one hit
Years ago, I played a casual against a friend who tried to make a Magical Explosion deck. He got his GY all set up but hadn't set the M.E. yet. Not sure why, but it goes to my turn. What he didn't know I had planned to discard Jinzo from my hand for a cost, and then flip my Call/Haunted at the start of his turn. Worked like a charm. Lol
Fun times in 2010's.
I was the first person to top a major event with ChainBurn back in 2006, so you can thank me for that being a deck :)
The Gem-Knight FTK was live in Duel Links for a little while as well, and Lapis Lazuli is currently Limited to 1 over there.
The moment I clicked on this video I knew Blaze Fenix would be on here.
I know the game’s moved on from the very old days, but I sure miss solar flare dragon/stall combos
A neighbor made a deck in of the Game Boy games YOU WON WITH ANY STARTING HAND
Those were fun times!
The true list I'm looking for.
Kudos
Way to change it up! I nevered subed but I still have seen just about every video starting with the one for armed dragon catapult cannon gimmick deck
Why would u not sub?
I was surprised Fire Princess is not on the list

Top 10 monsters that lock attack to itself
Honorable mention to Barrel Behind the Door, which can instantly turn any self-burn card into a massive middle finger to your opponent. My favorite "No You" card.
This card was used with your own Ring of Destruction in order to inflict the full damage to your opponent, back when it was legal.
There was nothing better than hitting an opponent by 2000 with a first turn Des Koala
Before the Six Samurai Deck, Burn Deck was my primary.
My brother hates me for it. Other players didn't take me seriously at first but when they experienced burn damage at 2k-3k per burst, they realized the power of burn decks.
That dark strike fighter synchro from the start of the 5 D era. It was so good it was banned pretty quickly
Blaze Phoenix was always my MVP
7:00 I'm not an expert in gem-knights or gem-knight ftk. But personally i would consider the Gem-Knight link-2 (Phantom Quartz) a WAY better way to loop Master Diamond, since the link-2's first effect allows you to search a card on summon, and most importantly, it's second effect allows you to return resources from the banished zone (i think) and GY to the deck in order to perform a fusion summon, which means you can burn with lazuli, summon master diamond to burn again and make the link-2 using master diamond and another monster, then you proceed to return master diamond and other gem-knights to the deck in order to summon Lady Brilliant Diamond using Phantom Quartz's effect, which can then summon Master Diamond with no additional effort and burn once again (which is most likely 8000 points of damage already)
A good burn card that supports aqua, fish, and sea serpent type of is Poseidon Wave, which is a trap card that can negate an attack on your monster plus deal 800 burn damage per aqua, fish, and sea serpent type of card that you control.
Battle traps are too slow in modern Yugioh
I would like to see a list of cards used in reaction to opponent's battle, such as Magic Cylinder, Mirror Force ect. If you have enough cards to separate them into the two categories of inflicting damage compared to negating the attack or destroying the opponent's monsters, then all the better! Thanks for asking for suggestions, and considering them

Ookazi: just the best burn card ever
Jokes on you RUclips I'm subscribed and watch all the way to the end
Depends on if you're talking about strength NOW vs. strength at the time they were released, but Chaos Emperor Dragon and Dark Strike Fighter should be on the list as they were meta-defining burn cards that ultimately got banned.
It was mentioned in a couple older Videos that these Lists are always made with the current Metagame in mind.
Magical explosion. I do miss you
Magical explosion + Full slavo in my spellcaster deck was way too fun.
You could use chain strike with decks like counter fairies that have a lot of trigger effects that go off after a counter trap resolves, or with cards that gain spell counters from only normal spells
As a MTG player (don’t ask why I watch these even though I don’t play YGO, idk lol just entertaining to learn about another card game) it feels to me like Konami just bans any card that becomes good or could become good. In MTG very few cards are banned, and if they are it’s only with heavy consideration or only for a certain format etc. It feels like in every one of these videos every time you talk about a card being good you’re like “and then it was banned / limited so it couldn’t be good anymore”. I’m sure the fact that there’s not a resource system like mana in YGO is most of the reason, as mana costs inherently limit and balance cards. It feels like having the option to run more cards and just making good counters for problem cards makes for a healthier game to me.
I get where you're coming from, I also play MTG, but most of the shit on the ban list is degenerate. Like drop half your opponents hand and set up a board before they can play degenerate. The mana and set rotations are huge for magic not having to ban stuff, Yu-Gi-Oh not having mana just enables such bullshit strats
Another thing with Magical Explosion is that it was banned swiftly after Sky Striker came out, as we all know it's a heavy spell deck.
They also had 3 copies of That Grass Looks Greener.
Grass was moved to 2 on the same list that this was banned and both have remained there to this day.
Neat video! Thanks for uploading!
Don't know if you played master duel yet but it would be cool to see what you can come up with in terms of a burn deck
this just throws me back to my 2006 Solar Flare Dragon burn deck
3:40 the way he said it🤣
Maybe for a top 10 could be "Top 10 Link monsters that were given to older archetypes so they could still be competative/usable in Master Rule 4"?
Or maybe generic links that were given as fusion, synchro, xyz support when master rule 4 was in effect?
how about making a top 10 cards for each arctype? Maybe you could explain the best combos available in each of them, I'd love to see a video specialized on shaddolls
I learn of Magical Explosion and Life Equalizer from Dzeeff when he talked about Exodia and why they're better at doing what Exodia is suppose to do than Exodia itself.
I'm sorry.
@@catisreckless4647 What?
Crimson Nova, The Dark Cubic Lord is a 3k beater with an easy summoning mechanic, has protection from monsters with 3k or less original attack, can attack a second time if it destroys a monster, and deals 3k burn damage to both players at the end of the turn. Really wish it was on the list, it's one of my favorite cards.
Hey, love our YGO and WOW videos! ;) Could you please make a video about TOP 5-10 OTK decks (if you dont have any yet)? :P
Top ten non-effect extra deck monsters.
Criteria for ranking can include:
- their usage as beaters/walls
- how easy they are to bring out
- how generic/common their materials are
- utility for extra deck climbing (synchro climbing, link climbing, xyz rank ups, etc)
- usefulness based on their type, level, or attribute
- potential to be cheated out
- any support cards they can make use of
- actual competitive appearances, if any
Top 10 "Bad" cards that saw competitive play (excluding normal monsters) i just think of this and i tought it would be cool
I think you have missed several better options in preference of high end monsters which actually would be easier to use as they are continuous traps (for instance, though I know you did mention secret barrel), don't require prerequisite cards to get out (fusion, XYZ or even high level tributes), can still be protected from being destroyed, and they do some serious amounts of accumulated damage. For instance "Ominous Fortunetelling" inflicts 700 damage if you can correctly guess what type of card you randomly choose from your opponent's hand, but considering the amount of monsters people need that is always a good bet and if you think they have special summoned everything they can they probably still have more monsters in their hand (especially if you think people tend to use hand traps now a days, while setting their trap cards due to taking a turn before they can be played). So keeping it on the field for 4 turns may not inflict 2,800 all the time, but it surely is an easier card to play than some of the cards in the video! And if you want something with a little bit more certainty then multiple copies of "Solar Flare Dragon" is great, as each card inflicts 500 damage to your opponent during the end phase of your turn and can not be attacked while there is another pyro card on the field - so if you have 2 on the field at the same time, they can protect each other from attacks while inflicting 1,000 damage each of your turns. I say that is a very good combo which is very easy to get out as they are level 4, and now a days you can summon them on the same turn without too much difficulty.

Okay. I'm done making my obligatory suggestions.
I remember my trap burn deck. Used defensive monsters while running Secret Barrel, Just Desserts, Ceasefire and so forth. Never won in real life with it, but I still got a kick out of using it against AIs in videogames.
Lapis Lazuli is probably my favorite Gem-Knight fusion just for the burn effect and why I fell for the archetype as a whole.
Burn decks are my fave thanks for the upload. Sadly duel links will prob half the damage on ALL these cards if they come to links
Great video again!
One of these years, I'd love to see you do a list of the top ten cards in the Yu-Gi-Oh Advent Calendars, especially since it's Christmas :)
4:00
I did the math 7,200 divide 300 equals 24 slots but I counted and there are only 22 slots 10 main monster zones, 10 spell/trap card zones, and 2 extra deck zones, all that equals to 22 slots, so where is the extra 2 come from to make 24 ?
I hope you've had enough time to think about it
Top 10 cards that can be substituted as a fusion material.
Top 10 cards that Duel Links allow NPCs to use, but not real players.
On the second one for sure
Ectoplasmer is a card that Arkana uses at the gate, but that's not available
I like the fun fact at the end of this one
Im subscribed for one reason, and thats bcs i like ur voice
In Duel Links, Lapis Lazuli is Limited 1 because of the FTK version with Master Diamond
@TheDuelingLog You forget the Berseker soul, thanks to your video top 10 ridiculous activating i manage to build that deck 👍👍🙏🏼
Cowboy has won more games than any other card is this list. So it has to be in the list. And what about D.D Dynamite? You can play that card on a Maju deck and Maju have seen lot of comp play.
Good video
I feel like pre-erata dark strike fighter could've done with a shout out
I imagine that copying the effects of cards from the graveyard could still be possible if it was archetype specific, it’s much easier to balance the copying effect when it can only target a single archetype instead of literally anything in the game
Fully agree
Blaze phenix became very consistent (at least on MD) because we got the new prometean princess which can reborns it an triggers it again
magical explosion I think would work with decks that allow you to mill your own cards with effects like card destruction or ones that force you to take cards directly from the deck to the graveyard
Surprised lycorisica or dark room of nightmare wasn't on this list. Those 2 along with lightstage and Trickstar reincarnation are the reason trickstars are such a hated deck.
Top 10 Equip Spells. Smoke Grenade, Premature Burial, Phoenix Blade, Evil Eye Selene, and don’t forget Saqlifice.
