True story: if you watch Yugi shuffle, he often uses the "hindu shuffle," a sleight of hand trick where you control the bottom chunk of cards in your deck. He stacks his deck so all the rubbish is in the bottom half, so it doesn't shuffle into the cards he draws.
And in one of the most anime applications of card effects ever, Catapult turtle can also wipe out an entire board by destroying the flotation ring of a castle of dark illusion that's floating above monsters trapped inside a yellow luster shield.

@@hi-i-am-atan You're a little off. In the manga/anime effects dealing burn damage only affected the owner of the card. So Catapult Turtle usually injured Yugi. He only did burn damage to Mai because he stole her monster and used it as the sacrifice.
Amusingly enough, at that point in the anime, duelists only had 2000 LP. Since there was no limitation on monsters that would later require tributes, and Panik played a very defensive deck (really, really defensive...), then Yugi could win just by throwing monsters at Panik using Catapult Turtle’s normal effect. Indeed, IIRC, Gaia Dragon Champion had 2600 Attack Points, and Panik had =< 1300

Great vid, Yugi seems to have had a lot more sleeper hits than Kaiba's really impactful monsters. One omission though is Breaker the Magical Warrior, which was used by Yami Yugi in the iconic scene where he plays Beserker Soul against Weevil Underwood. While Yugi Muto didn't technically play it himself him and Yami still shared a deck at that time so it counts.
there were 2 decks in the matches they swapped decks when they swapped souls because both were taking over the duels even Yami told Yugi that u never realised that u were taking the charge some times ... also the Yami persona is actually Yugi's own personality the Pharo was not evil but good as person if u look at the whole lore its Yugi beyng a bad kid he only gived yugi magical powers trough the shadow realm dimension .... Yugi always cheated
For a hero you ever notice how Yugi/Atem's decks usually have dark slightly evil fiendish themes? Like Dark magician, Feral Imp, summoned skull, berfomet, curse of dragon etc.
This is a theme that most of the yugioh protagonists have in some way. A lot of them may not play mostly dark themed decks like Yugi did, but a lot of them do either have dark ace/iconic monsters (Junk Warrior/Yubel/Odd-Eyes/Decode Talker) or they are secretly in some way the villain or have a connection to some dark force (Supreme King & Yubel/Z-ONE/Zarc/Ai).

@@autobotstarscream765 would still be dumb to use. I could see one kid with a 60 card deck waiting on someone to play the wizard with his one sage. Lol
Honestly kind of makes Yugi look like a Supreme Dick for giving Joey the time wizard since he had a hard counter for his winning strategy during duelist kingdom.
Same here. Have been in and out of the game since LOB. The early days where the best days. Nobody knew the rules exactly people buying packs and just upgrade the starter decks. Summoned skull being one of the stronger monsters that could come into play around turn 3 if youre monsters stick around.
Kelvin Corp Simpler times, but they’re a little overrated if you asked me. The game was too simple at that point, now the pendulum (no pun intended) has swung all the way to the other side. I think the synchro meta was when it was complex enough to be interesting, but not as convoluted as it is nowadays.
I've had some ideas for new cards. More specifically, new Gandora cards. "Gandora's Stone of Destruction" Level 1, Dark attribute, Dragon type effect monster 500 ATK/300 DEF "If this card is sent to the Graveyard: Add 1 'Gandora's Chick' from your Deck to your hand." "Gandora's Chick" Level 1, Dark attribute, Dragon type effect monster 800 ATK/500 DEF "You can send this face-up card you control to the Graveyard; Special Summon 1 'Gandora the Dragon of Destruction' from your hand or deck, ignoring its summoning conditions." "Gandora King the Dragon of Devastation" Level 8, Dark attribute, Dragon type effect monster 0 ATK/0 DEF "Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must first be Special Summoned (from your hand) by sending 1 'Gandora' monster from your hand or field to the Graveyard. This card gains 500 ATK and DEF for each banished card. Once per turn: You can pay half your LP to negate the effects of all other cards on the field, and if you do, banish them. This card cannot attack the same turn this effect is activated." "Rise of Gandora" Spell card "Select 1 level 8 'Gandora' monster from your Deck; banish it. During your next Standby phase, add it to your hand." "Gandora's Revenge" Trap card "Activate this card only when a 'Gandora' monster you control is targeted for an attack or by a monster's effect. Destroy the opponent's monster, ignoring its effects, and inflict damage to the opponent equal to the monster's ATK (card effects cannot be activated in response to this card). You can only use the effect of 'Gandora's Revenge" once per turn."
@@ShayTheValiant Very cool ideas! Maybe work on the problem-solving card text. Also, a searcher and another spell (Maybe field for protection?) could be helpful.
mr Uzaini when you can summon without tributing made me wonder why someone wouldn’t have just packed a deck of nasty spells and traps and high level strong attack monsters
My favorite Yugi cheating moment was Mammoth Graveyard, Living Arrow and Polyerization. Nothing says FU you like fusing your monster to your opponents, killing it because Mammoth Graveyard isn't compatible with Blue Eyes.
What about the first Weevil duel where he plays a Spell from his hand during his opponent’s battle phase while they weren’t looking? No, it wasn’t a quick effect.
I mean, during Duelist Kingdom the game of Duel Monsters was just D&D in card-format. If you could come up with a semi-reasonable explanation, it was fair game...
do ppl understand that Yugi was not playing but the Pharaho wich used his millenium piece to manipulate the deck and even created cards that were not in the deck .... a
The Egyptian god cards where played very differently in the anime but in reality konami had trouble putting those elements seen on the show into real cards so they changed the wording on each card giving them specific abilities to try and mirror the power the show portrayed. Yeah they kind of failed but the Egyptian God cards are so iconic and for everyone who watched show back in the day when they where played it was such a huge climax to the episode my son and I would cheer. I have so many great memories of watching yugioh the original series with my boy. I remember one Christmas all he wanted was yugis deck and a duel disc just like yugi, he would play outside with that for days because all his friends played too. But the day I bought him his own Egyptian god cards was awesome, I was the best dad in the world and that is what those cards mean to me.
1:46 Yugi didn't play Gemini Elf ever. Tea had that card in her deck when she played Crump though. 7:13 Bakura played it *against* Yugi. He wanted to get the soul cards of Yugi's friends to the graveyard and that was the way to get them out of his hand. 12:49 Dimitri used these two cards. But he specifically stole Yugi's deck from an exhibit, so its fair to say that Yugi played them at some point (though we dont see him play them in a duel, we know he had them)
Morphing Jar was also in POL, if he's counting that so eh. Also, Yugi apparently had cyber jar in his deck at one point, but never played it in episode 85, so he really should've mentioned that
@@dragozeronova Yeah. They made it a Spell tho in the English. There's also Lady of Faith, Black Illusion Ritual & Premature Burial on the Table that should'nt be there either
@@dragozeronova Only the novelization said it was in the deck, but he did not even play it there. That's such a stretch. Also, he didn't necessarily have cyber jar in his deck, it was just shown among the cards he was using to rebuild his deck, since he did never played it going forward, he likely cut the card.
I'm pretty sure that Yugi played Dark Magician of Chaos against Pegasus on Duelist Kingdom. Black Luster Soldier (the original) showed up here and there, most memorable for me being VS Darts when fusing into Dragon Master Knight/Master of Dragon Soldier.
Up until the point when I quit (around the latest big rules update), the most powerful Yu-Gi-Oh! deck of all time was the Makyura the Executioner/Exodia FTK deck. It was why the ban list had to be a thing; the deck had around a 75% chance of auto-winning on turn 1.
I hope this gets great feedback i love longer 16-20-25 minute videos esp ones you have done 10 minutes is nice but your style of elaboration makes a 25 min video infinitely better. I know i dont get a say this is your job afterall but i hope you dont shy away from content like this
You forgot to mention 1. the op iconic otk Catapult Turtle strategy of using it to shoot a monster at a Castle of Dark Illusions, knocking its flotation ring off, causing it to fall down onto your opponent’s monsters after the Swords of Revealing Light holding it up wears off, killing all your opponents monsters, who can’t get out of the way because of the Chaos Shield, inflicting the damage of all your opponents’ atk combined 2. Giant Soldier of Stone, who can attack the moon
7:04 - Yugi used Cyber Jar in the duel against Noah more or less first thing as his attempt to destroy the Shinato Deck Master. I can’t remember if Cyber Jar was actually Yugi’s or if it came from Kaiba and his own leg of the Noah duel though.
Can we take a moment to acknowledge how yugi was the card games first officially sponsored player? Seriously, Kaiba spends his companys money sure, but it's still personal wealth. Rex Raptor on record had to save up his allowance for his Red eyes. The majority of duelist kingdom entrys look like average joes besides the vs main cast crowd. Everyone clearly has had day jobs and we even see them in the case of Mai/Mako. Yugi works in a game shop but it's pretty clear he's never hurting with the variety due to the fact its literally his grandfathers store. Grandpa who made a clear fortune in the heydays of excavations (further stressed in the manga). Yugi even without brokenISH for the time anime plot armour cards has far far higher levels of access to cards than the average joe.
he had also his grandfather had allot of stolen artefact cards most of the cards not even printed existing cards in the tournamnets even Kaiba wondere were those cards came from some were made by his grandfathers connections some were actual artifact dimension things etc that were bending the game because Grandpa wanted the Millenium piecese he did not cared for the tournaments .... even yugi knew that lol
Its funny but looking back, a rather significant portion of yugis deck revolved around countering his opponent. He wasnt like kaiba who could only get a boner when he summoned blue eyes ultimate dragon or obelisk, and therefore his entire strategy revolved around how to get that monster on the field asap and bring him back in case his opponent dared to have a counter, or that one card hunter with the exodia deck, most of his monsters were fairly standard ones and his power came in always having the perfect way to shut down your strategy, leaving you wide open for his counter attack. Yes he had a few big deal cards, I think i remember seeing yugi summon both lister and chaos at some point, but in general, yeah, his deck was designed to hard counter as many strategies as possible. And yeah, that strategy only works when you have plot armor so thick you can mentally chant heart of the cards and whatever you need is next draw.
why am I watching so many videos on the Yu-Gi-Oh! competitive scene? I've never played this TCG after the sixth year of school and don't even own any cards anymore
Yugi actually did use Cyber Jar once. However, it was during his duel with Noah where he shuffled his deck together with Kaiba's, so we don't know who it belonged to.
Pretty sure Yugi never used Morphing Jar. That was Bakura. I imagine Morphing Jar appeared in his hand/deck as a stock photo, same as Gemini Elf. He never played DMoC, or BLS. But it was his actual deck the guy stole, and it had these cards in it.
I think you accidentally answered your own question on how powerful Exodia is. Cards are constantly banned/restricted specifically because of it, that means it is very powerful but they have to artificially weaken it.
@@leftthigh3999 You don't seem to realize how many things you can do with Linkuriboh. Granted, a lot of these have more to do with what Linkuriboh is than what it does but Linkuriboh has the benefit of being recently viable.
yugi actually never play Gemini Elves they were just in his hand in altered stock footage, if any character would be associated with that card it would be Pegasus because he plays the toon version, morphing jar was Bakura not Yugi, and lastly the reason you dont hear about catipult turtle ftk any more is because the card got errata-ed to be a hard once per turn. Good video over all but definitely needed to do a little more research. 👍👍
As for Capult Turtle, that's my bad. As for all of the other things, I'm just going off of what the wiki said Yugi played. Every single card in this video was featured as a card in Yugi's deck. Not my fault the wiki is wrong.
@@Dzeeff its all good you can't be expected to know everything konami errats especially when its no longer competitively viable. And I completely agree its not your fault the wiki had some details wrong that why commented so you would know. Also I dont think it takes away from the video its still very solid.
Hi dzeeff, I really enjoy your content and not criticizing the effort you put into your videos because errors are bound to happen. I'm actually giving the anime a rewatch so I can make the decks of each character throughout the series to see how functional they actually are. Also, Morphing Jar DOES make an appearance in the anime in Yugi's unofficial duel against Bakura in Duelist Kingdom. Gemini Elf (if I'm not mistaken) is in Kaiba's post Battle City deck. Yugi never actually played Witch of the Black Forest, but again that card did make an appearance when Rebecca played it in his first duel since returning from Duelist Kingdom. But if the cards are in Yugi's GX deck, they could've been placed there post Atem. Also, the Pyramid of Light movie is post Battle City Tournament (Likely before the Orichalcos arc for the folks that consider it canon). Anyway, now that I cleared that bit, I think Gemini Elf made an appearence in Yugi's deck in the PoL movie (it was likely that it was in his hand at some point) although he never played it. Keep up the good work and I will let you know of any errors if I find them. Most people just want the first chance to roast somebody for any little mistake. I'd rather help out if possible.
I never noticed but it's actually ridiculous that Yugi had a level 6 monster with the same attack as Dark Magician, but it wasn't his ace card. Also yeah, Yugi did use Black Luster Soldier and Dark Magician of Chaos but not often
Gemini elf was always my favorite ... BUT MY ALL TIME FAVORITE WAS YATTA !!! That damn bird!! Attack , you cant draw a card... attack 200! attack 200!attack 200! attack 200! game :D!!!!
The TCG sounds like its gotten a lot more confusing since I last played with freinds (I never did any tournaments as I had no way to get to any and wasn't very good). Thanks for reminding me of those days!
@@ISAAC607 well, I re-checked and only found Gemini Elf on his deckbuilding in the Pyramid of Light Movie. So in a way, yeah, it was a Yugi's monster. Although he was never been seen playing it neither on manga, anime or in that specific movie.
@@joaoandrade2828 I mean, it was listed as a card that Yami Yugi uses (but not in his deck lists) as well as some of the video game decks for both of them, so maybe he just grouped them together as one person and assumed he used it at one point. To be fair, I'd count it if it was in the movie since this video is about his cards in general, but it is kind of weird.
@dzeef when you mentioned Shadowpriestess Of Ohm, you reminded me of back in the Yugioh 5DS WC2010 DS game when I had 3 of that card in my Dark deck. Lowkey helped me beat the final boss of the game :)
I think pot of greed allows you to shuffle all cards your opponent(s) control back into their decks, deals them 800 per card, and you gain the life points that they lost, also (this effect cannot be negated) (Obviously I’m just joking around for those who don’t know)
+[TheDragonal1] To be fair (because this point deserves to be made once in a while, even though it ruins the joke), *every* card-effect was described as to what it did every time it was used. It's just that Pot of Greed was used so much by so many different Characters, so that makes it seem that its effect was explained to a much more ridiculous extent than other card effects, when in reality, it was very consistent throughout.
Love ur channel bro!!! I'm a returning player who's building a Red Eyes deck. I'm starting to get a better understanding about the meta today, and it's crazy! I absolutely LOVE Red Eyes, but compared to other archetypes, they get no love smh. I'm sure that Red Eyes are in no way tournament viable, but it would be awesome if you did a video about them!
I remember as a kid as soon as I learned how tribute summoning worked I realized summoned skull was way better than dark magician and blue eyes. I thought I was so big brained lmao
Thanks for the informative video, I never played competitive yugioh and I took a huge break from playing the game casually (I left before synchro and came back just before pendulum), so I appreciate this "historical perspective" on many of the iconic cards' practicality. Also lol @ all the summoned skull support, Skull must feel like one of the cool kids now. If only the card got featured in the anime by a main character or something. Oh well re Exodia: haha everyone is waiting for the day that Exodia becomes viable. Is the competitive scene prepared for that day?
OG YUGIOH player here, just checking in with my favorite card game and I see you changed Graveyard to GY... (LMFAO) Ok, it was great catching up, see you when you're 33.
I think chaos DM and BLS were used by Atem in the finale, though I could be wrong. The Yugi deck featured in GX was supposed to be Atem's final deck when he dueled Yugi at the end I think.
It always made me wonder why Summoned skull needed one less tribute than Red eyes black dragon even though it had 100 more attack points and both of them were fusion materials for black skull dragon.
It doesn't matter what cards you have, if you trust in the heart of the cards you'll always pull the most powerful card of all time when your life points are at 100.
My favorite deck was rescue rabbit with gemini elves. Went into a decent xyz dude plus got wonder wand / spellbook/ a magician trap card. Deck put in work and was like a more toolboxy version of dinorabbit which was topping at the time
Even though he can't be killed by a monster with 1,900 att his def was 1,000. Unless you buffed him to exactly 1,900 att he was super easy to remove from the field cause there was at least 50 cards with 1,700 att that you could play. The only viable play was manevlovent nuzzler that raised art by 700. It was better to just run 3 soldiers of stone.
He summoned Dark Magician of Chaos the first time to Defeat Pegasu's Relinquished, although if I remember correctly, he was a Blue Ritual card with no Effect, guess they changed him over the years.
You attack Yugi: plays a trap card from hand out of nowhere with a bs effect. You: hey that illegal Yugi: it's not just any trap card. You: (○_○) really !!! Ref??!!
Dont forget, Summoned Skull is now a part of the archfiend archetype as well as Axe of despair. They are 2 of the few cards that had rulings such as this to make them a part of an archetype that isnt in their name. I personally loved using archfiends as a tech in Dark World at 1 point in tournaments such as Archfiend Heiress to searxh Trance Archfiend and Archfiend of Gilfer to have an archfiend card that is hard to get rid of so I could use Falling Down to take over my opponents monsters invlueding my Cerulis I would give my opponents so I could bounce them to summon Grapha and re-use its effect. This play isnt as good as it use to be thanks to some new Dark World support, but its still 1 of my favorite combos because at the time it was really good being able to spam my opponents fiels with Cerulis to discard a few Lucents to search out Archfiend Empress so I could attack my attack position Cerulis and use her effect to keep them from being destroyed to bypass defenses
Where’s the Gandora monster used in the otk deck at? I know it was from the DSOD movie but give it a recognition Edit: Breaker the Magical Warrior should also be on there
I couldn't believe that I used to say the 5ds's motorcycle duel was stupid, and then I go back and rewatch the first season of Yu-Gi-Oh and I just couldn't believe how I used to enjoy this plot armored anime when I was a kid

I agree.
Fun Fact: Yugi used Sangan before it had an effect.
In the dub? He used it in the first episode, they didnt edit that in
In the Manga, Yugi uses Sangan to defend against Kaiba. At this point, the real card game by Konami does not exist. So Sangan does not have an effect.
That time he activated that card he put a cheat code on it and it forever lived on.

Same here. Have been in and out of the game since LOB. The early days where the best days. Nobody knew the rules exactly people buying packs and just upgrade the starter decks. Summoned skull being one of the stronger monsters that could come into play around turn 3 if youre monsters stick around.
That's crazy.
Kelvin Corp Simpler times, but they’re a little overrated if you asked me. The game was too simple at that point, now the pendulum (no pun intended) has swung all the way to the other side. I think the synchro meta was when it was complex enough to be interesting, but not as convoluted as it is nowadays.
Back when a 1900 ATK beater was a $200 Secret Rare from LON
@@carlosmarte3154 They started making big mistakes after the XYZ era.
A lot of Yugi's coolest and strongest cards have gained their own archetypes. Even some of his weak but memorable monsters have their own archetypes.
There is a Celtic Guardian archetype now. Why? I don’t know. How? Yes.
I've had some ideas for new cards. More specifically, new Gandora cards.
"Gandora's Stone of Destruction"
Level 1, Dark attribute, Dragon type effect monster
500 ATK/300 DEF
"If this card is sent to the Graveyard: Add 1 'Gandora's Chick' from your Deck to your hand."
"Gandora's Chick"
Level 1, Dark attribute, Dragon type effect monster
800 ATK/500 DEF
"You can send this face-up card you control to the Graveyard; Special Summon 1 'Gandora the Dragon of Destruction' from your hand or deck, ignoring its summoning conditions."
"Gandora King the Dragon of Devastation"
Level 8, Dark attribute, Dragon type effect monster
0 ATK/0 DEF
"Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must first be Special Summoned (from your hand) by sending 1 'Gandora' monster from your hand or field to the Graveyard. This card gains 500 ATK and DEF for each banished card. Once per turn: You can pay half your LP to negate the effects of all other cards on the field, and if you do, banish them. This card cannot attack the same turn this effect is activated."
"Rise of Gandora"
Spell card
"Select 1 level 8 'Gandora' monster from your Deck; banish it. During your next Standby phase, add it to your hand."
"Gandora's Revenge"
Trap card
"Activate this card only when a 'Gandora' monster you control is targeted for an attack or by a monster's effect. Destroy the opponent's monster, ignoring its effects, and inflict damage to the opponent equal to the monster's ATK (card effects cannot be activated in response to this card). You can only use the effect of 'Gandora's Revenge" once per turn."
@@breezierchip8355 yes it is
@@ShayTheValiant Very cool ideas! Maybe work on the problem-solving card text. Also, a searcher and another spell (Maybe field for protection?) could be helpful.
@@breezierchip8355 What would you suggest? My ideas were based off of existing cards like White Stone of Legend and Black Dragon's Chick.
I think it was more due to Yami Yugi making up rules/powers on the fly and sounding SO sure of himself that nobody chose to question it.
When you can summon defence monsters face up, i guess all cards are broken.
mr Uzaini when you can summon without tributing made me wonder why someone wouldn’t have just packed a deck of nasty spells and traps and high level strong attack monsters
@@lethalassassin1754 that's basically what kaiba did though.
@@lethalassassin1754 Probably because of the strong monsters rarity.
@@lethalassassin1754 They were rare, in the beginning there were only 4 blue eyes for example.
Excuse me, where is horn of the unicorn equipped to Feral Imp, c'mon
My favorite Yugi cheating moment was Mammoth Graveyard, Living Arrow and Polyerization. Nothing says FU you like fusing your monster to your opponents, killing it because Mammoth Graveyard isn't compatible with Blue Eyes.
Best moment of ass pulling ever
What about the first Weevil duel where he plays a Spell from his hand during his opponent’s battle phase while they weren’t looking? No, it wasn’t a quick effect.
I mean, during Duelist Kingdom the game of Duel Monsters was just D&D in card-format. If you could come up with a semi-reasonable explanation, it was fair game...
The early form of super polymerization
@@therealneal3034 the rules in the Maxilliam Mansion were different they were free for all matches to see who is the best cheater
Consider this positive feedback on the video length. Never mind running long as long as it's an interesting topic and not some pack opening video .etc
Next video: "Dzeeff doesn't understand anime logic"
Its not that yugi's cards are over powered its just that his plot armor was so thick not even xyz dragon cannon couldnt break through it
Its more his ability to decide what card he can draw 😂😂
He didn't have to get over XYZ Dragon Cannon, Kaiba tributed it for Obelisk lol.
Omg 😂
do ppl understand that Yugi was not playing but the Pharaho wich used his millenium piece to manipulate the deck and even created cards that were not in the deck .... a
notoriousbig3k obviously you haven’t seen the ending
The Egyptian god cards where played very differently in the anime but in reality konami had trouble putting those elements seen on the show into real cards so they changed the wording on each card giving them specific abilities to try and mirror the power the show portrayed. Yeah they kind of failed but the Egyptian God cards are so iconic and for everyone who watched show back in the day when they where played it was such a huge climax to the episode my son and I would cheer. I have so many great memories of watching yugioh the original series with my boy. I remember one Christmas all he wanted was yugis deck and a duel disc just like yugi, he would play outside with that for days because all his friends played too. But the day I bought him his own Egyptian god cards was awesome, I was the best dad in the world and that is what those cards mean to me.
I always loved the design of Summon Skull. He was apart of my 5 favorite monsters during the Duelist Kingdom Arch
1:46 Yugi didn't play Gemini Elf ever. Tea had that card in her deck when she played Crump though.
7:13 Bakura played it *against* Yugi. He wanted to get the soul cards of Yugi's friends to the graveyard and that was the way to get them out of his hand.
12:49 Dimitri used these two cards. But he specifically stole Yugi's deck from an exhibit, so its fair to say that Yugi played them at some point (though we dont see him play them in a duel, we know he had them)
Yeah. Only 1900 beaters he used were Breaker and Skilly Dark magician
@@benoitbrown9400 No, Magician's Valkyrie is the one from the Movie. Yugi never used Gemini Elf. Ever
Morphing Jar was also in POL, if he's counting that so eh. Also, Yugi apparently had cyber jar in his deck at one point, but never played it in episode 85, so he really should've mentioned that
@@dragozeronova Yeah. They made it a Spell tho in the English. There's also Lady of Faith, Black Illusion Ritual & Premature Burial on the Table that should'nt be there either
@@dragozeronova Only the novelization said it was in the deck, but he did not even play it there. That's such a stretch. Also, he didn't necessarily have cyber jar in his deck, it was just shown among the cards he was using to rebuild his deck, since he did never played it going forward, he likely cut the card.
Yugi be like, and since I summoned my Dark magician on my 7th turn it gets 2000 extra attack points and I get to attack your life points directly
I'm pretty sure that Yugi played Dark Magician of Chaos against Pegasus on Duelist Kingdom.
Black Luster Soldier (the original) showed up here and there, most memorable for me being VS Darts when fusing into Dragon Master Knight/Master of Dragon Soldier.
Magician of Black Chaos, and Dark Magician of Chaos are 2 separate cards. He played the actual Ritual monster against Pegasus.
Poor cards like Sangan, Future Fusion and Crush Card Virus have been nerfed to death
Yep. Also any monster like Catapult turtle or Dark strike fighter once per turn nerf.
I'm so offended by the ring of destruction errata. That card sucks now. Used to be so good
How did they nerf Future Fusion?
Up until the point when I quit (around the latest big rules update), the most powerful Yu-Gi-Oh! deck of all time was the Makyura the Executioner/Exodia FTK deck. It was why the ban list had to be a thing; the deck had around a 75% chance of auto-winning on turn 1.
Yugi played both Dark Magician of Chaos and Black Luster Soldier: Envoy of the Beginning
REally? i thought he just played Magician of Black Chaos and the BLack Luster Soldier?
Yugi did own the cards but it was only seen being played by Dimitri when he stole Yugi's deck in GX
Where's Dark Magician Girl?
I hope this gets great feedback i love longer 16-20-25 minute videos esp ones you have done 10 minutes is nice but your style of elaboration makes a 25 min video infinitely better. I know i dont get a say this is your job afterall but i hope you dont shy away from content like this
You forgot to mention
1. the op iconic otk Catapult Turtle strategy of using it to shoot a monster at a Castle of Dark Illusions, knocking its flotation ring off, causing it to fall down onto your opponent’s monsters after the Swords of Revealing Light holding it up wears off, killing all your opponents monsters, who can’t get out of the way because of the Chaos Shield, inflicting the damage of all your opponents’ atk combined
2. Giant Soldier of Stone, who can attack the moon
Please don't use anime sense
7:04 - Yugi used Cyber Jar in the duel against Noah more or less first thing as his attempt to destroy the Shinato Deck Master. I can’t remember if Cyber Jar was actually Yugi’s or if it came from Kaiba and his own leg of the Noah duel though.
He mentioned it was Kaiba's.
UltimateHero128 Thanks
Magic Cylinder is low key broken. Add them to the deck.
I'm also pretty sure Blue-Eyes Chaos Max Dragon is a sleeper OP.
Magic Cylinder for Worlds Win 2019
Or 2020 I dunno when this shit goes down anymore, I haven’t followed since like 2005
Can we take a moment to acknowledge how yugi was the card games first officially sponsored player? Seriously, Kaiba spends his companys money sure, but it's still personal wealth. Rex Raptor on record had to save up his allowance for his Red eyes. The majority of duelist kingdom entrys look like average joes besides the vs main cast crowd. Everyone clearly has had day jobs and we even see them in the case of Mai/Mako. Yugi works in a game shop but it's pretty clear he's never hurting with the variety due to the fact its literally his grandfathers store. Grandpa who made a clear fortune in the heydays of excavations (further stressed in the manga). Yugi even without brokenISH for the time anime plot armour cards has far far higher levels of access to cards than the average joe.
he had also his grandfather had allot of stolen artefact cards most of the cards not even printed existing cards in the tournamnets even Kaiba wondere were those cards came from
some were made by his grandfathers connections some were actual artifact dimension things etc that were bending the game because Grandpa wanted the Millenium piecese he did not cared for the tournaments .... even yugi knew that lol
Its funny but looking back, a rather significant portion of yugis deck revolved around countering his opponent. He wasnt like kaiba who could only get a boner when he summoned blue eyes ultimate dragon or obelisk, and therefore his entire strategy revolved around how to get that monster on the field asap and bring him back in case his opponent dared to have a counter, or that one card hunter with the exodia deck, most of his monsters were fairly standard ones and his power came in always having the perfect way to shut down your strategy, leaving you wide open for his counter attack. Yes he had a few big deal cards, I think i remember seeing yugi summon both lister and chaos at some point, but in general, yeah, his deck was designed to hard counter as many strategies as possible. And yeah, that strategy only works when you have plot armor so thick you can mentally chant heart of the cards and whatever you need is next draw.
Dark Paladin was pretty broken. 500k ATK for every dragon on the field or GY of either players. That's crazy
Also being able to negate spell cards as long as you can discard cards it wasn't a once per turn effect
The most unrealistic thing about the yugioh anime is that only Kaiba played Deep-Eyes White Dragon
.... do people use it outside of blue eyes decks?
it's not unrealistic to think that kaiba monopolized the blue-eyes cards so only he can use them
@@MrGshinobi It's not unrealistic, it's canon. They only printed 4 blue-eyes cards iirc and he tore one of them, so he'd be the only one with copies.
@@ancalyme we dont know if that kept being the case in DSOD tho
@@ancalyme just think what could've been if he stole it and used all 4 in a fusion?!
why am I watching so many videos on the Yu-Gi-Oh! competitive scene? I've never played this TCG after the sixth year of school and don't even own any cards anymore
I’m in the same place as you buddy
Morphing Jar was best used in early Dark World decks I used like crazy with book of moon
Remember when Doug used to make fun of dark magician?
He still is a hunted man for that lol
Yugi actually did use Cyber Jar once. However, it was during his duel with Noah where he shuffled his deck together with Kaiba's, so we don't know who it belonged to.
Also they didn't use they'r real decks in that duel anyways when they chose virtual cards at they'r first duels in that virtual world.
Pretty sure Yugi never used Morphing Jar. That was Bakura. I imagine Morphing Jar appeared in his hand/deck as a stock photo, same as Gemini Elf. He never played DMoC, or BLS. But it was his actual deck the guy stole, and it had these cards in it.
I think you accidentally answered your own question on how powerful Exodia is. Cards are constantly banned/restricted specifically because of it, that means it is very powerful but they have to artificially weaken it.
Kuribandit might be the best Kuriboh monster ever released.
Linkuriboh: Am I a joke to you?
Being a kuriboh connoisseur, I can easily say Kuribandit is better then Linkuriboh
@@leftthigh3999 You don't seem to realize how many things you can do with Linkuriboh. Granted, a lot of these have more to do with what Linkuriboh is than what it does but Linkuriboh has the benefit of being recently viable.
@@Rioluman10 well of course most "link versions" of cards can easily be called more viable then a "nonlink version"
@@leftthigh3999 It's not just about it being a link.
Link cards are trash duel me
yugi actually never play Gemini Elves they were just in his hand in altered stock footage, if any character would be associated with that card it would be Pegasus because he plays the toon version, morphing jar was Bakura not Yugi, and lastly the reason you dont hear about catipult turtle ftk any more is because the card got errata-ed to be a hard once per turn. Good video over all but definitely needed to do a little more research. 👍👍
As for Capult Turtle, that's my bad.
As for all of the other things, I'm just going off of what the wiki said Yugi played. Every single card in this video was featured as a card in Yugi's deck. Not my fault the wiki is wrong.
@@Dzeeff its all good you can't be expected to know everything konami errats especially when its no longer competitively viable. And I completely agree its not your fault the wiki had some details wrong that why commented so you would know. Also I dont think it takes away from the video its still very solid.
@@benoitbrown9400 pyramid of light was played by Anubis in the first yugioh movie. Do you mean you saw it in his deck in the yugioh movie?
So his deck wasn't OP, he just had God and Anime on his side.
Well pharaoh and Anime on his side but yes
Before all comments, Morphing Jar and Gemini Elf was used in the novel of Yu-Gi-Oh! Pyramid of Light
Well, Yugi had a Giant Soldier of Stone that could somehow destroy a spell card without any help so you know, his cards were pretty broken. Lol!
Atac ze mun
Hi dzeeff, I really enjoy your content and not criticizing the effort you put into your videos because errors are bound to happen. I'm actually giving the anime a rewatch so I can make the decks of each character throughout the series to see how functional they actually are.
Also, Morphing Jar DOES make an appearance in the anime in Yugi's unofficial duel against Bakura in Duelist Kingdom.
Gemini Elf (if I'm not mistaken) is in Kaiba's post Battle City deck.
Yugi never actually played Witch of the Black Forest, but again that card did make an appearance when Rebecca played it in his first duel since returning from Duelist Kingdom.
But if the cards are in Yugi's GX deck, they could've been placed there post Atem. Also, the Pyramid of Light movie is post Battle City Tournament (Likely before the Orichalcos arc for the folks that consider it canon).
Anyway, now that I cleared that bit, I think Gemini Elf made an appearence in Yugi's deck in the PoL movie (it was likely that it was in his hand at some point) although he never played it.
Keep up the good work and I will let you know of any errors if I find them. Most people just want the first chance to roast somebody for any little mistake. I'd rather help out if possible.
Yugi cards is more broken than the crack on the liberty bell when he uses them
I never noticed but it's actually ridiculous that Yugi had a level 6 monster with the same attack as Dark Magician, but it wasn't his ace card. Also yeah, Yugi did use Black Luster Soldier and Dark Magician of Chaos but not often
Gemini elf was always my favorite ... BUT MY ALL TIME FAVORITE WAS YATTA !!! That damn bird!! Attack , you cant draw a card... attack 200! attack 200!attack 200! attack 200! game :D!!!!
@@kyleken8383 🤣🤣 I just used my banned deck today lol
The TCG sounds like its gotten a lot more confusing since I last played with freinds (I never did any tournaments as I had no way to get to any and wasn't very good). Thanks for reminding me of those days!
When did yugi get morphing jar? I remember Bakura having it
The first yugioh movie it was on his deck
I remember the GX characters stating that Yugi did use the Chaos monsters, so I can only assume he used them after Duel Monsters ended
Yugi do use both Magician of Chaos and Black Luster Solider, both the ritual version and the effect version...
Yugi never used the effect versions. GX doesn't count. Even then, Yugi himself never used them.
How Op is kaibas credit card
I never remembered Yugi ever playing Gemini Elf.
he never did
Feral imp is my all time favorite it's not the greatest but it was my first card ever and it's actually saved me in a few duels as a kid :)
When did Yugi ever use Gemini Elf? I am only 2 minutes into the vid and you have already lost me.
He really didn't. I was checking and just found Gemini Elf on Starter Deck Yugi Reloaded, but nothing else.
He did
@@ISAAC607 well, I re-checked and only found Gemini Elf on his deckbuilding in the Pyramid of Light Movie. So in a way, yeah, it was a Yugi's monster. Although he was never been seen playing it neither on manga, anime or in that specific movie.
@@joaoandrade2828 I mean, it was listed as a card that Yami Yugi uses (but not in his deck lists) as well as some of the video game decks for both of them, so maybe he just grouped them together as one person and assumed he used it at one point. To be fair, I'd count it if it was in the movie since this video is about his cards in general, but it is kind of weird.
I've just been rewatching the anima and hes used Gemini elf several times.
@dzeef when you mentioned Shadowpriestess Of Ohm, you reminded me of back in the Yugioh 5DS WC2010 DS game when I had 3 of that card in my Dark deck. Lowkey helped me beat the final boss of the game :)
7:18 - Pot of Greed? What's does that card do??
I think pot of greed allows you to shuffle all cards your opponent(s) control back into their decks, deals them 800 per card, and you gain the life points that they lost, also (this effect cannot be negated)
(Obviously I’m just joking around for those who don’t know)
+[TheDragonal1]
To be fair (because this point deserves to be made once in a while, even though it ruins the joke), *every* card-effect was described as to what it did every time it was used.
It's just that Pot of Greed was used so much by so many different Characters, so that makes it seem that its effect was explained to a much more ridiculous extent than other card effects, when in reality, it was very consistent throughout.
Pot Of Greed allows you to draw 2 cards from your deck
Jamie A7Xfan obviously, but if you haven’t watch Yugioh abridged you won’t understand why we’re joking about the effect of PoG.
Vaporous Horizon pog still gives me nightmares on Duel Links omg such an op normal card
I have never seen Yugi use Morphing Jar or Gemeni Elf. He played *CYBER* Jar in the Virtual world arc, but he mentions it's one of Kaiba's monsters.
I can tell you in one line
Yami: DRAW MONSTA CARDO
Love ur channel bro!!! I'm a returning player who's building a Red Eyes deck. I'm starting to get a better understanding about the meta today, and it's crazy! I absolutely LOVE Red Eyes, but compared to other archetypes, they get no love smh. I'm sure that Red Eyes are in no way tournament viable, but it would be awesome if you did a video about them!
This video Dzeeff awakens his inner Blue Hedgehog.
(Old card) You’re too slow~
I remember as a kid as soon as I learned how tribute summoning worked I realized summoned skull was way better than dark magician and blue eyes. I thought I was so big brained lmao
Everyone knows Yugi's deck was full of plot devices-I mean, smart strategic moves.
plot devices you mean the powerful spellcaster known as dark magician
@@elliotgreen3203 And he has chain destruction for that one duel that he happened to have to counter Exodia.
@@indumatipngtuber2790 ahh chain destruction
Thanks for the informative video, I never played competitive yugioh and I took a huge break from playing the game casually (I left before synchro and came back just before pendulum), so I appreciate this "historical perspective" on many of the iconic cards' practicality.
Also lol @ all the summoned skull support, Skull must feel like one of the cool kids now. If only the card got featured in the anime by a main character or something. Oh well
re Exodia: haha everyone is waiting for the day that Exodia becomes viable. Is the competitive scene prepared for that day?
Yugi's grandpa exodia is not broken, it was soaked
Nightfans SAY GOOD BYE TO EXODIA
Um and ripped into pieces
OG YUGIOH player here, just checking in with my favorite card game and I see you changed Graveyard to GY... (LMFAO) Ok, it was great catching up, see you when you're 33.
I think chaos DM and BLS were used by Atem in the finale, though I could be wrong. The Yugi deck featured in GX was supposed to be Atem's final deck when he dueled Yugi at the end I think.
Where are the magnet warriors?
Ryan Sartor not competitively viable,
I could listen to you talk about yugioh all, i really enjoy learning about its history
It only takes playing Legacy of the Duelist for 15 mintues to realize why Summoned Skull is vastly superior to Dark Magician.
Dark Magician has a deck built around it fam.
@@indumatipngtuber2790 and Skull is still better
It always made me wonder why Summoned skull needed one less tribute than Red eyes black dragon even though it had 100 more attack points and both of them were fusion materials for black skull dragon.
In the original manga summoned skull is actually a level 7 mosnter
The time when blue eyes was the best deck was the most unlogical time
It doesn't matter what cards you have, if you trust in the heart of the cards you'll always pull the most powerful card of all time when your life points are at 100.
Yugi had the power of plot armour so he could still win even with bad cards.
My favorite deck was rescue rabbit with gemini elves. Went into a decent xyz dude plus got wonder wand / spellbook/ a magician trap card. Deck put in work and was like a more toolboxy version of dinorabbit which was topping at the time
No Celtic Guardian? Bruh.... Celtic freaking Guardian. Lol
Even though he can't be killed by a monster with 1,900 att his def was 1,000. Unless you buffed him to exactly 1,900 att he was super easy to remove from the field cause there was at least 50 cards with 1,700 att that you could play. The only viable play was manevlovent nuzzler that raised art by 700. It was better to just run 3 soldiers of stone.
Obnoxious
He summoned Dark Magician of Chaos the first time to Defeat Pegasu's Relinquished, although if I remember correctly, he was a Blue Ritual card with no Effect, guess they changed him over the years.
No. Still 2 separate cards.
@@matthewcoff6969 Ah, that makes sense now
You attack
Yugi: plays a trap card from hand out of nowhere with a bs effect.
You: hey that illegal
Yugi: it's not just any trap card.
You: (○_○) really !!! Ref??!!
its a trap card that can only be activated from the hand
God Cards were, in the show, immune to spell and trap cards, which wasn't something they inherited when they made it to print.
The Dark Magician is best boi, change my mind
You ask the impossible.
ShadowKhiz exactly
Dont forget, Summoned Skull is now a part of the archfiend archetype as well as Axe of despair. They are 2 of the few cards that had rulings such as this to make them a part of an archetype that isnt in their name. I personally loved using archfiends as a tech in Dark World at 1 point in tournaments such as Archfiend Heiress to searxh Trance Archfiend and Archfiend of Gilfer to have an archfiend card that is hard to get rid of so I could use Falling Down to take over my opponents monsters invlueding my Cerulis I would give my opponents so I could bounce them to summon Grapha and re-use its effect. This play isnt as good as it use to be thanks to some new Dark World support, but its still 1 of my favorite combos because at the time it was really good being able to spam my opponents fiels with Cerulis to discard a few Lucents to search out Archfiend Empress so I could attack my attack position Cerulis and use her effect to keep them from being destroyed to bypass defenses
Where’s the Gandora monster used in the otk deck at? I know it was from the DSOD movie but give it a recognition
Edit: Breaker the Magical Warrior should also be on there
Summoned skull was in the first pack of cards that i ever opened back in first grade lol kinda became one of my favorites right at that point
