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*
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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
@@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...

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.

"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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
@@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.
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!

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
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)
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.
@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
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)
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.
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
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.
@@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
And also explain it to us whats the difference about all these are the same link 4 monsters but some are need only 2+ monsters to link summon but others are 3+ summons?
@@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.
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
Avramax deserves the number 1 spot. Apparently it has two quick play spells in crusadia testament and crusadia power. Testament allows the player to draw the same amount of cards as avramax's link rating after it destroys a monster and crusadia power allows it to be immune to every effect(banishing, skill drain, solumn judgement) except for tributing
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?
Not sure if this is a common occurrence but I just noticed Accesscode and Gryphon have to same link arrows Edit: I guess it might be cos they have the same arrows as Gumblar Dragon and Firewall Dragon lol
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
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.

Edit: yep I'm right
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)

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...
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
One error on the Avramax section - you only get the attack boost against special summoned monsters (not any monster).
My bet of #1 is either OG Firewall, Gumblar or Accesscode.
Monsters like Avramax are a big reason for why Kaijus are a necessary evil in the game
Dont really like the last one being a pre-errata version
but great video
Man I can't wait to see the top 10 link-6 monsters.....oh.
Top 10 cards that reaquire a specific field spell to use their effects
And also explain it to us whats the difference about all these are the same link 4 monsters but some are need only 2+ monsters to link summon but others are 3+ summons?
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
Top 10 cards that see more play outside of their archetype could be interesting
Se we are left with "top 10 extra deck monsters of all times".
That would really be a clash of titans
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
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
Avramax deserves the number 1 spot. Apparently it has two quick play spells in crusadia testament and crusadia power. Testament allows the player to draw the same amount of cards as avramax's link rating after it destroys a monster and crusadia power allows it to be immune to every effect(banishing, skill drain, solumn judgement) except for tributing
You're joking right? There's a reason why no meta decks use avramax
Top 10 archetypes that were underestimated on release
plis, make an ojama archetype videp pls i love ojamas they are so ugly and their super are super crazy
Top 10 cards that have been used as both in-archetype and splashed into other archetypes.
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
it's kinda interesting that 3 of the cards on this list are revolver's cards

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
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.
Here’s a fun little topic: cards that are less restricted in Duel Links than the TCG.
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
