Top 10 cards that Dont understand how their own Archetype works please Mr. Logs ❤️
off the top of my head are verte and ally of justice reverse breaker
All Ally of Justice except Catastor
Because even though they are supposed to be anti light all of their effects are super bad at actually countering light monsters.
Lunalight Tiger...?
Don't get me wrong. It's good. REALLY GOOD. It just changed everything to fit it.
It single handedly rebuilt the Archetype around it, By abandoning everything they used to do. They could already use the GY as material from Wolf. So bringing it to the field doesn't help very much *if you want to fusion summon*
Ally of Justice Spellcaster then?
Infernity Randomizer. Yeah let's put cards in your hand in the archetype that wants your hand empty as often as possible.
Related to Firewall, Top cards that were broken yet stayed legal way longer than it should have.
Needlefiber looking as the pile of Tuner corpses grew around it
Imperial Order.
Soul Charge
@@sephikong8323 And Auroradon used those corpses as fuel...
Blaze Phoenix, so many ftks.
"This is a monster with 3000 ATK" damn I didn't hear that often enough in this video
Yeah sometimes we skip the attack value when it isn't relevant but these are mostly big bunguses that can win the game lol.
Konami, March 2017: Self bouncing is too exploitable. Let's errata Brionic.
Also Konami, August 2017: Firewall Dragon.
Pre-errata Firewall Dragon was a mistake after causing all that damage.
I sense ptsd flashbacks
shuraig should have been there instead of sunny, it was pretty much the very reason tri-brigade was tier 1 for 2 formats. people even wanted revolt banned because he's that good.
Trouble Sunny is such an archetype savior.
Fun fact. It has the highest original ATK among Link 4 monsters. The Deck could compete because of its existence.
#1 is definitely Pre-errata Firewall there's no way it's not
Edit: yep I'm right
One error on the Avramax section - you only get the attack boost against special summoned monsters (not any monster).
🤓🤓🤓
True, but the chances of someone normal/tribute summoning a 3k beater is so low in modern yugioh (except gren manju) that it might as well a say any monster
@@dragonlord3376 what about empen??
@@user-rb4dw9ci3f okay fair, but occasional floowandereeze matchups aside, avramax should be fine
I'm very happy that my favourite Knightmare is in here. You don't know how many, MANY competitive matches I won by just slapping Gryphon and a wall-like Link Monster on the field like Avramax. People tend to forget about the existence of Gryphon, but its floodgate is a win button against decks that depends of their extenders to go into Link monsters.
busted flood. i play it in scareclaw. put that bitch under tri heart and he has no up arrow
Knightmare gryphon is one of my favorite Drytron cards lmao
The worst thing about having cards like Firewall Dragon or Accesscode Talker as your favorite cards is that they are always in the threat of getting Banned/Erratad
I doubt access code is ban worthy
@@Lulu-ew7oh Depends on the format tbh. Thankfully it has no inherent protection other than its effects both being SS4, or it would likely be banned...
@@cameraredeye3115watch them release a link monster that makes it unaffected by card effects for 1 turn😂
I feel that. A Master Duel player myself, I would be very sad if they banned my favorite deck, Tearlaments, into the ground. Aside from the obvious meta position, the deck is just interactive, fun to play, and has the best mirror matches.
@@wrought-ironheroEMIYA I am pretty sure there is one already ?
Some of the most common decks tend to have at least 2 of these Link 4 boss monsters, my Mathmech deck itself included (Avramax and Accesscode)
It's funny how who beats who in Borrelsword vs. Accesscode comes down to who comes out second. It's also interesting that so few Link-4 monsters have ever been banned in comparison to Link-2s or 3s, but the ones who did get banned were some of the dumbest Extra Deck monsters the game has ever seen.
I mean, you should almost never be bringing out Accesscode if you aren't pushing for game that turn.
fun fact: "monsters summoned from the Extra Deck" for Avramax's summon conditions also counts for Pendulum Monsters, provided they were face-up in the ED beforehand. so if you Link something like, for example, I:P Masquerina, and then pendulum summon two monsters from the ED to the spots her arrows point to, you can summon Avramax no problem.
also, I request "top 10 Pendulum Archetypes", because while many people know of Endymion, PePe, and Pendulum Magicians, there's still quite a few archetypes that are kinda slept on IMO, there's also going to be some new support for Odd-Eyes in the OCG coming soon.
That's actually a pretty neat fact to know and probably a fun gimmick deck to build for casual play
@@ariavachier-lagravech.6910 I mainly made use of it in an Igknight Warrior pile that I liked to futz around with.
Most folks will scoop before I pull it off, but it's certainly a sight to see.
Would love to see a list of the strongest secondary boss monsters or the boss monsters that aren't the strongest in their archetype. I guess am example could be Super Conductor Tyranno, or Thunder Dragon Titan, or the other Starving Venom Monster, and maybe Shooting Star Dragon but I'm not sure about that one.
Swordsoul might take a couple spots on that list.
Actually second boss monster for Dinos is "tyrano infinity":]]]
So happy to see the boss of my pet deck (Evil Twin) made it. Here’s two details he didn’t mention here, as a treat.
1. Trouble Sunny has the highest original ATK of any Link-4 monster.
2. The Evil Twin archetype technically had a boss already (Evil Twins Ki-sikil & Lil-la), but that card is bad-amounting to a 4400 ATK beatstick (which a negate can reduce to 2200 ATK) with a worse Evenly Matched effect that requires 2 Link Monsters as tribute to summon. The only reason to play a single copy of it in a pure Evil Twin deck is for tribute to Trouble Sunny’s non-targeting, non-destruction removal.
There's that, but you can actually Summon Evil Twins Ki-Sikil and Lil-La since it can summon itself from the GY for its summoning condition once you've dumped it for Trouble Sunny's non-targeting, non-destruction effect. 4400 ATK is nothing to scoff at and the extra damage can help you close a game but you could also use the extra Evil Twin Link monsters to make another Trouble Sunny, Knightmare Gryphon or Unchained Abomination for the same results. Trouble Sunny massively increased the viability of the Deck for sure.
I need a top 10 link 1 again when the infernoble support comes out
Me when my opponent summons Grinder Golem to my side of the field and I have no Handtraps to stop it on hand (I am going into a Firewall Dragon FTK compilation)
one very important aspect of evil twin trouble sunny is that its effect doesn't limit to the main phase like the other 2 evil twin monsters
I don't think I've ever seen a sponser in your videos before and lord knows I have watched a lot of them. Congrats man!
Yugioh Boomers: The old days were better!
The old days: *Pre-errata firewall dragon*
The old days were:
3 graceful
3 pots
Exodia turn 2
Goat, Edison and Vegas. Hands-down best formats we ever had. Although DUEA era was beautiful too.
@@Skaypegote as well as sangan and witch effects active when send from hand
1999 ocg format
or Yata-lock
do... do you think Yugi-boomers are nostalgic for 2017? Try 10 or 15 years earlier than that, lol
I make Apollosoa attack around 4000 with Pend Magician due to that one Magician attack boost for every different Magician name in the extra deck by 100
Congrats on sponsor!!!!❤
Watching this I was really wondering what was gonna be number 1. Then I remembered pre errata firewall and it seemed so obvious
This video feels like a back and forth between Playmaker and Revolver
I always wondered why Firewall Dragon was banned and never understood the errata. Thanks for that!
Nah the reason why you aren't allowed to summon at EMZ zeroboros points to was due to extra linking. Almost all link monsters with top left top right doesn't allow their controller to special summon on EMZ they points to because it would made extra linking piss easy with only 3 monsters if they placed on middle main monster zone. It was only recently they allowed monster with top left top right arrows to not restrict summoning on the zone it points to in the form of Firewall Dragon Singularity
Piss easy? Yeah... any Link-2+ with bottom left and bottom right, Zeroboros, and another Link-2+ with a bottom left/right arrow. I don't know why, but I'm picturing Halq, Zeroboros, Decode Talker XD
The crazy thing about Gumblar is that its effects are MASSIVELY nerfed from the anime and yet the thing is STILL banworthy in the IRL card game.
In the anime, every time anything was Special Summoned to a zone a Link Monster pointed to while Gumblar was in play, Gumblar destroyed both players' ENTIRE HANDS, not just 1-2 cards. And it was not once per turn, either.
And its bonus Extra Link effect was even crazier. It instantly nuked your opponent's entire hand and burned them for 3000 damage every time it was used, and it couldn't be stopped either. That in addition to being able to attack. If we're going solely by how the cards were used in the anime, Gumblar is without a doubt the most broken Link-4 in the entire game.
I swear the fact half of the villains lose is plot armor
Idk how the hell anyone can actually beat that thing, the only thing that can probably work is cards that works well if sent to the gy like Tri Brig, Tear, and Shaddoll, and handtraps basically doesn't exist in the anime except for Veiler (which Yusei rarely use for some reason) and Kuriboh
Man.... I was hoping to see all three Topologic monsters on this list... Bomber and Zeroboros should have shared the same spot lol.
u go first and cannon soldier ftk, they can't use their card if it's never their turn
@@galaxyvulture6649It's funny, but in anime/manga sometimes a minor antagonist, a rival or even a secondary character usually has more powerful monsters than the boss monster of the main antagonist. For example in the anime the strongest monster of Vetrix (Heraldy Crest) would surpass almost any monster in the anime and in the game in the real game. And Gumblar is another example, not only does it leave you without a hand but it does a lot of damage and you cannot negate its effect, that last one is crazy.
Top 10 Cards That Can Set/Activate Spells or Traps Directly From The Deck
Top 10 Worst Continuous Spell Cards
Top 10 Xyz Monster Effects That Don't Require Material Detachment
Top 10 Non-Fusion "Fusion" Monsters
Top 10 Emergency Teleport Targets
Top 10 Pendulum Extra Deck Monsters
"You need a non-targeting banish or spin effect to handle avramax". You can also run over it in shs, either by boosting your def with souls or normal summon big benkei.
handle it without activating its gy effect
@@skiffy8121 oh, then yeah.
Or, you know, Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon can crash into it, because it can negate the attack boost of Avramax.
I think it could be fun to haver a video about cards that were nerfed from their anime counterparts like Starving Venom, Card of Demise, and especially Hundred-Eyes Dragon
Anime hundred eyes would lead to the most wtf decks ever imo (you need to setup your grave while bringing out a high level dark tuner). But video game hundred eyes (same as anime but restricted to infernity) would probably be balanced because it's a pain to bring out, also it's a cool concept for a boss monster.
There's one in this video already. Topologic Gumblar Dragon.
I recognize that duel logs is speaking a little faster than usual. I prefer the regular speed its what makes his videos relaxing to watch.
I wanna see a top 10 archetypes of each era of yugioh.
Important to note that Avramax’s attack increase effect is only against special summoned monsters. Does not apply when battling a normal/tribute/ritual summoned monster.
I recall in the last video people predicted that in a list of top 10 link 4 monsters, Accesscode would be number 1 and the rest of the list would basically be "this is good, but it's not Accesscode". Which makes it amusing that Accesscode is only number 3 in this list lol
It's the only people think of cause it's the only one not banned or erata'd
Idk why Firewall is number 1, that card is fucking trash after the errata
Top 10 generic support by attribute (wind, water, fire, earth, dark, and light).
I like this video. My only gripe is Borrelsword being too low but that's just because of PTSD.
Zeroboros is also very easy to bring out in chaos ishizu going second so you can one punch the opponent using snow to boost his atk.
Damn TheDuelLogs from TheDuelLogs Duel Logs be pumping them videos like crazy lately
22:23 that's why revolver call its extra link effect "deus ex machina"
I loved Gumblar, and when it came out it was about $5, which made it incredibly cheap for a Link-4 monster back then.
Believe it or not, Topologic Gumblar Dragon was even more Broken in the Anime Not only did its effect rip every single card in your hand, but you took 3000 damage and worst of all the effect couldn’t be negated!
It's funny, but in anime/manga sometimes a minor antagonist, a rival or even a secondary character usually has more powerful monsters than the boss monster of the main antagonist. For example in the anime the strongest monster of Vetrix (Heraldy Crest) would surpass almost any monster in the anime and in the game in the real game. And Gumblar is another example, not only does it leave you without a hand but it does a lot of damage and you cannot negate its effect, that last one is crazy.
I think they overbalanced firewall by limiting him to cyberse
Generic recursion has historically been shown to be powerful. It would make Firewall more widely viable if its recursion was generic.
@ShiningJudgment666 you're telling me making a card generic makes it more eidely viable?!? Daaaamn bro didn't know i was talking to einstein
Also the bounce effect is generic already
I would like top 10 cards with twice/ thrice per turn in their text. Maybe as individual videos or a big one
Man I can't wait to see the top 10 link-6 monsters.....oh.
Its tragic too see as ace monster Firewall Dragon pre errata only appear 5 times in Vrains
It was supposed to be built about being the ace monster (ie: Dark fluid as proof) but, to many kills in the game make it difficult to play so they banned
At least they make the 3 temp make more touching with the symbolism of the first link that Ai gave him and the last that he alone get and make Firewall more like the link of Ai with the others Ignis
(Ah, I better stop, remember temp 3 still make me a bit depressed)
Finally, a link related list that doesn’t have accesscode at #1.
Code talker decks are the decks that access Code is at his most powerful
Top 10 cards that reaquire a specific field spell to use their effects
Firewall Dragon the only ace monster of a protaginist to get banned.
Dont really like the last one being a pre-errata version
but great video
Top 10 cards that see more play outside of their archetype could be interesting
Watching this video makes me thankful I did not experience MR4 😂 (only played duel carnival then master duel now)
Good ol' Asscode. Wonder when the banhammer's finally gonna drop on it.
Can't wait for that Top 10 Link 5s vid oh wait there isn't even 10 XD
Top 10 archetypes that were underestimated on release
My bet of #1 is either OG Firewall, Gumblar or Accesscode.
Top 10 Forbidden cards that could come back at 1 with no errata. (Ranked in order of the most powerful cards, without being too powerful that they can't be unbanned)
Any of the 3 Dragon Rulers that are still banned (Blaster, Tidal, or Redox) would easily make top 3 on that list. If not #1.
The main character's 2500atk ace, banning Firewall was the last thing they wanted to do
It's really interesting because you can tell that they really intended to have FD be Playmaker's ace by how prominently it's featured in the openings and endings, only for it to be used only like 4 or 5 times in VRAINS period.
I swear to god you make me can talk to my friend like a professional Yugi-Oh player inb4 i never play this game b4
You should do top 10 rank 4 XYZ monsters if you haven't done that yet!
Kudos to Firewall Dragon for making the list at No. 1
Firewall Dragon Darkfluid and Firewall Exceed Dragon would’ve been great honorable mentions
Neither of those are Link 4, or anywhere near as powerful
Top 10 monster that are included or excluded from an archetype in a parenthesis
(I.e. frog the jam, manga ryu ran, summoned skull, red eyes b chick)
Did you do a top 10 link 1 video? I cant find it
Finally link 4
it's kinda interesting that 3 of the cards on this list are revolver's cards
I still to this day say firewall dragon is yusaku’s true ace the only reason it’s overshadowed by decode talker is because before yusaku could use it more than four times in the anime it got banned and he barely even used it’s broken effect
That and the fact it has 2500 ATK like all the other protagonist ace monsters. Decode Talker was just Gaia the Fierce Knight/Flame Wingman/Junk Warrior for Playmaker.
Firewall is set up to be like Neos grand reveal of the protagonist true ace.
But I love that in the anime firewall evolve to link 5 while code talker evolve to link 4
It was the boss monster of the protagonist at least, Decode was originally just a secondary recurring monster he used just like Yugi's Summomed Skull or Yusei's Junk Warrior, but Firewall was supposed to be his ace.
If the team in charge of translating the card to the gams cared to at least put a HOPT on it's effect, none of this would have ever happened
@@Combaticon that is true as well
We're ready for it now, Top 10 Strongest Pre-Errata cards in Yugioh, Chaos Emperor, Firewall, Exchange of the Spirit, Makyura, Time to see which was the strongest if not of all Yu-Gi-Oh.
Exchange of the Spirit alone enabled easy FTKs. Makyura just broke a fundamental rule of the game in taking away the balancing factors of a lot of Trap cards. Firewall was an absolutely broken enabler. CED was a reset button and even without it, it along with BLS - Envoy of the Beginning had powercrept the whole game significantly for their stats and ease of Summon for those stats. There's also Crush Card Virus which if it resolved, the player who resolved it had a high chance of winning and Imperial Order which ended up banned even after its errata.
Finally strongest link 4 monsters but I like it better if the video was gonna be strongest link monsters instead of specific link rating monsters
Monsters like Avramax are a big reason for why Kaijus are a necessary evil in the game
Se we are left with "top 10 extra deck monsters of all times".
That would really be a clash of titans
Top 10 number monsters would be cool
Top 10 link monster with best arrows
Borrelsword dragon I:P combo is to nice
Top 10 Engines in Yugioh decks! Like Branded engine, Tri-brigade, Ishizu cards, and P.U.N.K.S
I know this list would be dominated by d/d/d, but include objects may diversify it
Top 10 cards based on Historical character/artifacts
Artifact, chronomaly, noble knight
Aleister
Wait when did the link-1 video posted
Zeroboros with Gizmeks and Gren Maju🥹🥹🥹
For #9 you forgot to me tonight how it's graveyard eff is generic if u play a main deck monster which sees continual success in metas because of Ultinate Slayer punishing Links decks and then using Evil Twin Sunnys Graveyard effect for continual removal
Top pendulum decks that got nerfed by master rule 4 or continuous spells that have flood gate like affects
Unchained Abomination with its 3 way destruction and the interactions during the opponents turn
That card is so funny. Three different conditions all trigger/allow to activate the same effect: target a card on the field and destroy it.
Eh its too Archtype focused. You never see it except with its own Archtype or Type Deck. Even Borrelsword saw more play.
@@bismarckimperia8781 Archetype-focused?
Three free destructions are nothing to scoff at, so if you have the material to spare, why not?
Unlike Borrelsword Abomination is something on which you can end.
I saw Coder do that once in a non-Unchained deck (maybe Labrynth?).
You cant use the 2 pops if no other cards were destroyed that turn, which if you yourself dont have anything to pop your opponents cards you cant really capitalize on abomination's 2 pops. Not many decks like to destroy their own cards like unchained itself or dinos. The end phase pop is the only one that doesnt have a destruction condition
@@superfactorial5717 Even just the End Phase pop is not to be slept on...
Top 10 monsters that have a moon mirror like effects.
I am shock that Apollousa is only 4,like my god I forgot number 2 and 1 existed and how much of a Knightmare they where and still would by
Top 10 support archetypes the arechypes that can't be play as a deck but has sean play in other deck like artefakt or ghost girls nightmer or fari tail
Duel long make a tier list of the best links 1 6 months ago but a don't remember if he do a top video about it.

Mekk-Knight Crusadia Avramax is my favorite monster and I LOVE the fact that he is in this top 10 video
Same avramax and apollousa are my favorite monsters
@@Landgraf43 Nice! Question, does Apollousa have a story? Like Avramax has the entire gorgeous World Legacy story, does she have one too?
@@thatguyzerg honestly I don't really know I'm not that deep into the lore. I really like those cards because I love their effects, their artworks and that they are so generic. But maybe thats somethink I should look into.
@@Landgraf43 look up for full art cards, those are cool af
she has a cool bear@@thatguyzerg
updated top ten "X lvl syncro monsters" would be nice.
I figured out how to summon 5 headed link dragon, borrelend dragon and unchained abomination in the same turn
i got a win with apollusia when my opponent RQ when i activated an out of no-ware mage power
i recently just started watching YGO post-GX as i discovered that the episodes are uploaded in full on the official YGO channel, and got introduced to Synchros and Akiza. I started ZEXAL but they really started leaning into the kid themes there, so i couldn't get into it.
Which series introduces Link monsters?
That's Yu-Gi-Oh Vrains. Zexal --> Arc V --> Vrains
@@leojamesquiambao1047 Damn. I don't think Vrains has been uploaded yet. BUt thanks
Top 10 not so generic extra deck monsters that players still want to summon outside their archetype
Unchained abomination should have made this list or at least got an honourable mention. If you summon it early using a summon style similar to Avramax you could literally guarantee an early ending to the duel and complete control throughout as it's three effects destroy cards on the field in ways that can both cripple opponent's strategies and depending on your deck/archetype extend your own. It could even use tokens as material meaning you could meet it's summoning requirements using a single copy of scapegoat, then using two tokens out of four to make I:p masquerena. If a card on the field is destroyed by a card effect except by unchained abomination, abomination destroys a card. If another monster is destroyed by battle it destroys a card. Then in both player's end phases it destroys a card. These effects allow link 4 capable players to entirely control a duel and were only really vulnerable to cards like effect veiler as people who set infinite impermanence would see it destroyed at the end of their turn without it ever becoming activatable. Sure these three effects target the cards they destroy but the types of card and way they hit due to their triggers make them insanely good in both disruption and potentially extension. It's summoning requirements of 2+ monsters including a link monster make it absurdly generic as like I mentioned before you ONLY need to run a single other link monster in order to access this card. Pairing it with link-3 protectcode talker makes it even more absurd as it becomes immune to battle destruction and targeting effects so no banishing it or returning it to the extra deck either.
The greatest example I have to offer of its board control capabilities is in my personal experience; in legacy of the duelist: link evolution(I played the Nintendo switch version)if you can perform the link summon of unchained abomination on your first to second turn using the I:p masquerena material strategy via any method, you can solo the duelist challenges mode, which was made of decks that were mostly tournament winning meta decks I might add. With most of these duels lasting less than 3 turns with very few exceptions. (even dragon rulers fell into this category consistently.) In the tcg unchained abomination has been slept on by a variety of powerful decks that could have become field control otk decks if they simply included it in their extra deck.
9 - okay, see? The Twin archetypes can include the star in the name; wtH is up with the translation's of Luke's space dragons?!?
@DuelLogs, you are gonna continue the Worst classic cards series right?
So glad my homie Avermax made the list lol.
Top 10 set face down monster cards
