Cyber Dragon Core is probably the most important card in any Cyber Dragon deck specifically because of how it can bring out any Cyber Spell/Trap card just by being summoned.
As good as the search is, i think it's played more because its name counts as cyber dragon and its stats also make it a valid target for machine duplication which allows you to special summon 2 cyber dragons from the deck. That part of the card is so good, that they made retrains of it so cyber dragons could have more machine dup targets.
Pot of greed back then: draw 2 cards Pot of greed now: pay half your life points, banish face down all cards in your hand, extra deck and 20 from your deck. You also can not special summon until next turn and all cards effects on your side of the field are negated. Also draw 2 cards

@@ABCDjjw not really. any competent speedroid deck is built and played under the assumption of being wind-locked all the time. if terrortop did wind-lock you it would probably not need to be limited and thus speedroid would actually be a more powerful deck.
I think Volcanic Rocket deserved a mention. For such an old card, being able to search off of any kind of summon, from both the deck and graveyard, on a lv4 1900 ATK body, and not once per turn, is kind of great. Too bad its archetype isn't really doing too good nowadays
I unknowingly copied your comment, if only Gearframe proc'd off special summons there'd be so much more combo potential, but they probably didn't want searches from detaching a union monster.
Really love Special Summoning Terrortop first thing in my Windwitch Speedroid deck to instill fear in my opponents, but then search CarTurbo and go into Stardust Charge Warrior to draw 1 lol
Oviraptor can actually destroy a Dinosaur on either side of the field for it's special summoning effect. I know it's a bit niche but it could come on handy if you're facing a mirror deck or if you run Lost World

@@number-qx1kw Despite the fact I binge this channel, and have watched four of the last five animes start to finish, I haven't actually played the game since Summoned Skull was good, so there's no way I would've known that.
i really thought Cyber Dragon Core would be on the list. It can add any "cyber" spell/trap card to your hand, so not just Cyber Dragon related cards but also Cyberdark cards for example, is extremely powerful with Machine Duplication since it becomes "Cyber Dragon" while on the field and GY, and can special summon any Cyber Dragon monster from the deck.
I'm a little surprised you didn't include Cyber Dragon Core. On its normal summon, you can search a "Cyber" spell/trap card, which includes multiple searchers for the Cyber Dragon Archetype. It also has a GY effect where you can banish it and then summon a Cyber Dragon monster from the deck (if you control no monsters), which is one of the best places to summon monsters from by your own admission. Sure, the effects are HOPT and you can only use one or the other in a single turn, but it's still such a keystone card in Cyber Dragon decks that it's a must-have 3 of in Duel Links.
I also am surprised duellogs didn't mention Spellbook Magician of Prophecy and Magician's Rod. Especially the first was the deck that can match Dragon Rulers back then. Also Rod has another effect where you can retrieve it from GY by tributing spellcaster after you activate spell/trap during opponent turn.
Shoutout to Satellarknight Deneb. You may only have 1 effect, and it's even worse that it is a hard once per turn effect. But you are still my favourite Stratos like card ever!
Gem Merchant Destiny Hero Blade Master Blackwing Kalut the Moon Shadow Elemental Hero Honestly Neos Aleister the Invoker (Damn you) Bujinji Crane Not for trickstar but they are honest-like.
The fact that Morphtronic Celfon and Smartfon share some the properties that make Spyral Quik-fix so op just shows how good Morphtronics could be if Konami wanted to make them viable.
Ah, snap! Souleating Oviraptor finally lands a spot in a top-ten video? It's a sign of the apocalypse! Seriously, though, thank you for another great video, TDL. I love how descriptive you were in this one. Anyway, here's my new-video idea: "Top 10 Cards Too Terrible for Their Archetypes in YuGiOh." (Graded on gaps between how bad each card is and how amazing it archetypes is.) Examples: Dragoroar (Dragon Ruler) and The Phantom Knights of Tomb Shield [(The) Phantom Knights].
I would put it higher on the list tbh because the rest of the cards higher on it's list don't have such an impact in their decks. You chain block with lost world to play through chain interactions like ash or bow goddess and the card is easily searched in the deck itself any of the babies destroyed summons it from deck as well as misc and fossil dig. The only more crucial or impactful card is invoked or guru in their decks.
idk what is the deal with stratos like cards, but they have THE BEST ARTS in yugioh, as with the archetypes they represent. all the cards on this list were some of my favourite arts from yugioh.
Shoutout to Ghostrick Angel of Mischief, 1) Can search a Ghostrick Spell/Trap whilst also having an effect that allows her to 'refuel' so she can use it later 2) Is an easy to bring out Extra deck monster, 2 level 4s or on top of another Ghostrick Xyz which range different ranks 3) its has an additional effect..... Which is a win condition
A really good video with detailed explanations. But i heavily disagree with the placement of Spyral Quick-Fix. I think it should be at least Number 2 on this list. The reason for that is, that it is the main search card of the most recent Tier 0 deck in YGO‘s history and is by it‘s pure mechanics (not opt on search and self reborn effect) , its support cards (machine dupe, one for one, where arf thou, linkkuriboh, recital starling) and the variety of utility cards in can search out for the archetype (reborn (Big red), protection (Last Resort), interruption (Utility Wire), the by far best card on this list. But that‘s just my opinion. Feel free to disagree :)
I agree. I think he overestimates cards on the banlist and that Infernities wouldn't be that good nowadays, and never were a dominant archetype. Of course, I might be wrong and they would be broken with Links, but I doubt it.
@@nnnp634 You should just watch a video with an infernity deck doing its combos, its insane what Archfiend allows them to pull off. The amount of advantage you can get with that card is why Infernities have won worlds so many times
@@TheDuelLogs They have won one worlds and one YCS. Definitely respectable but wouldn't compare it to tier 0 Spyrals which won 6 YCS in a row (they were full power after the Worlds otherwise they would've won it as well). To be fair, I don't know how good they would've been with everything legal, so maybe you're right, but I'm not convinced they would fare well going second and hand traps would hurt them a lot. That said, I love all the work you put into such lists so even if I disagree (and I'm fully aware you might be the one who has a point) I still love your channel.
Well, a lot of Stratos-like cards released after Stratos were far better designed in terms of balance so it's sort of hard to replicate that completely in archetypes outside of HEROes. Even then though, they're still good for any deck they support even with restrictions like hard once per turns or inability to search copies of themselves.
Actually DM already had searcher in form of Magician's Rod which doesn't need lot of resource since it's low-level main deck non-ritual monster despite illusion of chaos doesn't take your normal summon but yeah, 2 monsters for searcher is always good. Also they have DMC which is pot of duality of their archetype.
Glad to see one of my favorite cards get some love. Infernity Archfiend made me fall in love with Infernities in general. That card was so damn good at setting up ridiculous combos for 2010 standards
@@ShiningJudgment666 oh, for sure. 2010 Infernities were crazy and only held in check by X-Sabers and Frog FTK. But even after the limiting of Launcher the release of Trishula and Street Patrol kept them extremely good for the rest of the Synchro era.
Top 10 Best cards that by using its effects you lock yourself to use Another Type of card. Drytron and its Lockdown of non special summoning monsters that can be normal summoned / set would be a nice adition to that kind of Video.
Honorary mention should be given to Flundereeze Robina, who can not only search out it's entire archtype but also EVERY Level 4 or lower Winged Beast Monster, *gives you an extra Normal Summon/Tribute Summon for Winged Beast on resolution of search*, and is easily added back to the hand by removing it from the field and summoning another Winged Beast (which can be used to chain block too). For the best example of it's search targets, it can nab D.D. Crow, Wind Barrier Statue, Glife (Search out Golden Castle for stall or use it as a MST), any Harpy Lady you want, and Kujakujaku (Use it to indirectly search Hop Ear, Droll and Lock Bird, and Ghost Mourner and Moonlist Chill). It's an incredibly powerful and versatile card, only hampered by the fact that using it locks you out of Special Summoning for the turn if you resolve any of its effects. Which, given what it and its ilk can do, is a more than bearable drawback.
One of my favorite "Stratos" cards is "Rikka Petal". Once a turn she lets you search your deck for any Rikka monster to add to your hand, in exchange for licking you into Plant monsters for the turn. Then you can use her to summon your higher level Rikkas, going into the tribute activated effects of the deck. And when that's said and done, she'll return to your field at the end of your opponent's turn.
I hard agree with speedroid terrortop at number 1, speedroids were pretty strong around the same time as pepe decks but never got all the notoriety until people started splashing speedroid engines into other decks
Keep up the good work! Could you also make a top 10 list for more categories please? I have a few suggestions here. -Best/worst cards that send from deck to graveyard -Worst positive card effects -Best/Worst xyz monsters -Best/worst Pendulum monsters -Best/worst that sends from field to deck You did show fusion, synchro and link monsters but not much of xyz or pendulum monsters. -Best/worst red eyes cards (Red eyes is also popular so im curious on this one. -Best exodia support cards (You havent mentioned a lot of exodia support ive noticed) These are some suggestions i have.
Shoutout to Machina Gearframe, its a shame he didn't get the or special summoned treatment, but I suppose they didn't want him to search every time you detached him. It could've been a really nice combo with Soldier and all the other union support cards besides a detach search.
you could use Performapal Five Rainbow Magician in a Guru Control deck, reasons: the opponent can't attack unless they have at least one set card, you can double your monsters attack points by having multiple set cards like Subterror final battle, Scrap Iron Scarecrow etc.
Speaking of Cyber Dragons, I'm wondering why he didn't include Cyber Dragon Core, which can search out "Cyber" Spell/Trap cards (which includes searchers) or SS a Cyber Dragon monster from the deck, one of the best places to summon from.
Technically has 3 effects last one is treated as Cyber Dragon while on field The other effects can only choose one abd hard once per turns on either effect

What about d/d Savant Kepler? Is a searcher on either normal ou special summon, can bounce one of your cards and is also a pendulum scale 10, and the deck has nearly infinite ways to summon it from deck, hand, grave or extra deck. Was the card considered?

Best/worst in certain aspect, the one the aged well, the ones that had immediate impact, the ones the had impact the later on, the ones that had only few meta relevant cards, etc
I've would've chosen Ninja Grandmaster Hanzo. Normal summon = add a ninja spell/trap to the hand. Special Summon = add a ninja monster to hand. Best of all, it's not 1 per turn. In a good ninja deck, I've used this card's effects 3+ times in the same turn. It also had good stats; Level 4, DARK, Warrior, ATK 1800, DEF 1000.
For me honorable mention would be: 1. Spellbook Magician of Prophecy 2. Magician's Rod 3. Madolche Magilleine Especially no. 1 was the only deck that can match Dragon Rulers! I was surprised duel logs didn't mention him

@@daveinspiration7333 -what do you use Verte for in GK's? I have it in my CD's for Chimeratech Rampage... not losing 2000 LP unless going in for the kill.
Hearing what happened to Subterrors actually DISGUSTS me. An archetype of cool, high level flip-effect boss monsters.... That got tossed aside in favor of more thematically generic low-level monsters, to the point that decks built around the archetype aren't even named after the archetype! Listening about Infernities, it's also sad that Counter Traps have fallen out of play. Traps are 1 of the 3 main card types, yet so many aren't played. Anyway, neat list video! Thanks for uploading!
Counter Traps are occasionally used still. Mainly for control decks though. Mainly generic stuff that does a lot like Solemn Strike and family. They also get tossed aside because of monsters having negation power while also having a body. Traps like Infinite Impermanence and Evenly Matched are still viable since they can be activated from the hand under some conditions and setting them is a viable play too.
2007 yu-gi-oh was a different time. Floating effects in general were really hard to come by, so a single +1 was a big deal. You had people running engines like creature swap and soul exchange, and summoning monsters like don zaloog, just to set up for that game winning +1. Everybody was running sangan etc... Breaker, the magical warrior was the biggest floating beatstick at the time with 1600 atk, and even that was somewhat conditional as they might chain the card you were trying to destroy, and that card was a staple in every deck. Stratos wasn't banned because of the second effect at all. It was banned because an 1800-atk creature that already paid for itself was more than the game could handle.
@@baselw1317 no it's a build around. the idea is you swap a token or a battle searcher so the card you lose is either irrelevant or you attack over it and get it back. you lose creature swap, you get their actual card, and they lose their actual card. +1.
@@letsmakeit110 When you activate creature swap this happens: You lose creature swap and a monster wich is a -2, then your opponent gains a card wich is a -3, then they lose a card wich is a -2, then you gain a card wich is a -1. Building your deck around a unreachable card isn't good.
Dogmatika Ecclesia is another excellent card that satisfies the conditions of this list. Dogmatika is one of the most splashable engines of all time mostly because of her, and Ecclesia also has a continuous effect that acts as a tiny bit of protection for herself.
She's arguably the most important part of the engine. Either her or Nadir Servant as they enable their plays and Nadir Servant can occasionally act like a better Extra Foolish Burial at the same time.
well shoot yeah being able to special summon off a special summon would be super useful in level spam decks that focus on going into xyz monsters because in most level spam decks its honestly super rare to get more than 2 monsters on the field consistently in one turn which is why so many of the strongest xyz monsters simply require 3 monsters of the same level though most of the time being able to go into an xyz monster that just requires 2 monsters of the same level is enough to make level spam decks really good already which is why when setting up your extra deck in a level spam deck xyz monsters that require more than 2 monsters of the same level are like putting a high level monster in your main deck which is if there's to many of them you risk not being able to make plays and in the best level spam decks that's mostly a real issue because you are so limited in your extra deck being able to at most have 15 cards in your extra which doesn't sound like a problem until really consider how valuable having multiple options to xyz summon with is which gets even more strained when you add higher rank xyz monsters for super strong rank up plays which also can make it tough to play a level spam deck if you have to many of them in your extra deck by the way ;D
Pretty ironic that the Infernity archetype has a damn good searcher that fills the hand. Then again, this was the archetype used by Kiryu, and he was coocoo for cocoa puffs for the longest time.
That was honestly my first reaction to that card as well. I've first seen it in Duel Links, long before the search-effect was actually useful. I wonder if there are enough cards that can destroy spells/traps on summon for a top 10.
@@r4nd0mguy99 Cards - absolutely. Monsters - not that many who specifically remove s/t (I could only think of Tornado Dragon and Knightmare Phoenix), but if you add monsters which can remove s/t cards in addition to other cards, that could easily make a list.
Lunalight kaleido chick I know isnt really a stratos like card but is still the best starter card in the deck also if herald is in the list i dont see why kaleido chick woudnt it can send any lunalight monster to the graveyard but the best part is that is a cost so is handtrap inmune also has like other 3 effects all good including copy lunalight fusion names usefull to skip the fusion rank like mechanic lunalights have add polymerization back to hand if you use it as fusion material and if is banished negates any effect in the battle phase your opponent activates so its basicaly foolish burial fusion tag half fusion recovery and anti magic arrows its really usefull in lunalight decks
I would have thought that Trickstar Candina would have also made the list. A wide search range and a burn effect on any enemy Spell/Traps that resolve? It's an easy Lycoris or Lilybell. Lycoris especially, since it would recycle Candina for later plays.
I am surprised the Dragon Rulers weren't in the top as an honorary mention, given those can also search stuff. I know they are in a banlist to keep the lists varied but as a brief mention at the end saying why they weren't mentioned would do enough
I was really hoping to see Ninja Grandmaster Hanzo because it can search disruption tools on normal summon and more ninjas on special summon so it does fit the criteria
I love ninja's. The problem with ninja's is, they are slow, they rely on their normal summon a lot, and sure, they have the ability to swarm, but name one ninja that actually does anything. They really need some support. Now if the deck got support so it had an actual boss monster (shogun is an extender, not a boss monster) and it wouldn't rely on normal summon as much for comboplays, I do agree, hanzo would be the first card they hit because it would be super broken.

@@number-qx1kw Despite the fact I binge this channel, and have watched four of the last five animes start to finish, I haven't actually played the game since Summoned Skull was good, so there's no way I would've known that.
i really thought Cyber Dragon Core would be on the list. It can add any "cyber" spell/trap card to your hand, so not just Cyber Dragon related cards but also Cyberdark cards for example, is extremely powerful with Machine Duplication since it becomes "Cyber Dragon" while on the field and GY, and can special summon any Cyber Dragon monster from the deck.
I'm a little surprised you didn't include Cyber Dragon Core. On its normal summon, you can search a "Cyber" spell/trap card, which includes multiple searchers for the Cyber Dragon Archetype. It also has a GY effect where you can banish it and then summon a Cyber Dragon monster from the deck (if you control no monsters), which is one of the best places to summon monsters from by your own admission. Sure, the effects are HOPT and you can only use one or the other in a single turn, but it's still such a keystone card in Cyber Dragon decks that it's a must-have 3 of in Duel Links.
I also am surprised duellogs didn't mention Spellbook Magician of Prophecy and Magician's Rod. Especially the first was the deck that can match Dragon Rulers back then. Also Rod has another effect where you can retrieve it from GY by tributing spellcaster after you activate spell/trap during opponent turn.
Shoutout to Satellarknight Deneb. You may only have 1 effect, and it's even worse that it is a hard once per turn effect. But you are still my favourite Stratos like card ever!
I remember buying a playset of Chamber Dragonmaid when she first came out for £45. Apparently nowadays that's how much it costs for ONE of her.

Ah, snap! Souleating Oviraptor finally lands a spot in a top-ten video? It's a sign of the apocalypse! Seriously, though, thank you for another great video, TDL. I love how descriptive you were in this one.
Anyway, here's my new-video idea: "Top 10 Cards Too Terrible for Their Archetypes in YuGiOh." (Graded on gaps between how bad each card is and how amazing it archetypes is.) Examples: Dragoroar (Dragon Ruler) and The Phantom Knights of Tomb Shield [(The) Phantom Knights].
I would put it higher on the list tbh because the rest of the cards higher on it's list don't have such an impact in their decks. You chain block with lost world to play through chain interactions like ash or bow goddess and the card is easily searched in the deck itself any of the babies destroyed summons it from deck as well as misc and fossil dig. The only more crucial or impactful card is invoked or guru in their decks.
idk what is the deal with stratos like cards, but they have THE BEST ARTS in yugioh, as with the archetypes they represent.
all the cards on this list were some of my favourite arts from yugioh.
i really liked this list, showed a lot of monsters i either never heard of or you havent mentioned elsewhere
Dont forget about Ancient gear wyvern, he has 2 effects but is once per turn
but it can search AG fusion, but i wish it was more broken
Wyvern would be so much better if it could search itself or Geartown.
Invoker may search, but he's always been even more cracked than that!
He’s like a tuner for invoked fusion monsters. One normal summon into a free Omni-negate 2500 monster.
Seems pretty splashable too. Got a few decks I feel he would be good in.

Shoutout to Ghostrick Angel of Mischief,
1) Can search a Ghostrick Spell/Trap whilst also having an effect that allows her to 'refuel' so she can use it later
2) Is an easy to bring out Extra deck monster, 2 level 4s or on top of another Ghostrick Xyz which range different ranks
3) its has an additional effect..... Which is a win condition
A really good video with detailed explanations. But i heavily disagree with the placement of Spyral Quick-Fix. I think it should be at least Number 2 on this list. The reason for that is, that it is the main search card of the most recent Tier 0 deck in YGO‘s history and is by it‘s pure mechanics (not opt on search and self reborn effect) , its support cards (machine dupe, one for one, where arf thou, linkkuriboh, recital starling) and the variety of utility cards in can search out for the archetype (reborn (Big red), protection (Last Resort), interruption (Utility Wire), the by far best card on this list.
But that‘s just my opinion. Feel free to disagree :)
I agree. I think he overestimates cards on the banlist and that Infernities wouldn't be that good nowadays, and never were a dominant archetype. Of course, I might be wrong and they would be broken with Links, but I doubt it.
@@nnnp634 You should just watch a video with an infernity deck doing its combos, its insane what Archfiend allows them to pull off. The amount of advantage you can get with that card is why Infernities have won worlds so many times
@@TheDuelLogs They have won one worlds and one YCS. Definitely respectable but wouldn't compare it to tier 0 Spyrals which won 6 YCS in a row (they were full power after the Worlds otherwise they would've won it as well). To be fair, I don't know how good they would've been with everything legal, so maybe you're right, but I'm not convinced they would fare well going second and hand traps would hurt them a lot. That said, I love all the work you put into such lists so even if I disagree (and I'm fully aware you might be the one who has a point) I still love your channel.
@@nnnp634 Its all good my dude. Quick fix its ridiculous too

Top 10 cards that make you FEEL like you’re playing Stratos
Well, a lot of Stratos-like cards released after Stratos were far better designed in terms of balance so it's sort of hard to replicate that completely in archetypes outside of HEROes. Even then though, they're still good for any deck they support even with restrictions like hard once per turns or inability to search copies of themselves.
Awesome.
Illusion of Chaos would on the list as the Stratos of Dark Magician decks once it comes out.
Actually DM already had searcher in form of Magician's Rod which doesn't need lot of resource since it's low-level main deck non-ritual monster despite illusion of chaos doesn't take your normal summon but yeah, 2 monsters for searcher is always good. Also they have DMC which is pot of duality of their archetype.
25 mins? You treat us so good.
Glad to see one of my favorite cards get some love. Infernity Archfiend made me fall in love with Infernities in general. That card was so damn good at setting up ridiculous combos for 2010 standards
Oh yeah, Infernities were broken back then. It was more Launcher than Archfiend though both were extremely important for their plays.
@@ShiningJudgment666 oh, for sure. 2010 Infernities were crazy and only held in check by X-Sabers and Frog FTK. But even after the limiting of Launcher the release of Trishula and Street Patrol kept them extremely good for the rest of the Synchro era.
Speedroids representing!
Also, Windwitch Ice Bell in the intro
If non-monsters counted for this list, Sky Striker Mobilize Engage! would totally be on this list.
Top 10 Best cards that by using its effects you lock yourself to use Another Type of card.
Drytron and its Lockdown of non special summoning monsters that can be normal summoned / set would be a nice adition to that kind of Video.
- Flundereze locks you from special summoning
- Brave token locks you from activating normal summon
- Dogmatika locks you from extra deck
Honorary mention should be given to Flundereeze Robina, who can not only search out it's entire archtype but also EVERY Level 4 or lower Winged Beast Monster, *gives you an extra Normal Summon/Tribute Summon for Winged Beast on resolution of search*, and is easily added back to the hand by removing it from the field and summoning another Winged Beast (which can be used to chain block too). For the best example of it's search targets, it can nab D.D. Crow, Wind Barrier Statue, Glife (Search out Golden Castle for stall or use it as a MST), any Harpy Lady you want, and Kujakujaku (Use it to indirectly search Hop Ear, Droll and Lock Bird, and Ghost Mourner and Moonlist Chill).
It's an incredibly powerful and versatile card, only hampered by the fact that using it locks you out of Special Summoning for the turn if you resolve any of its effects. Which, given what it and its ilk can do, is a more than bearable drawback.
Saw some video where a dude had 1 terror top in hand and ended on a board with like 5 monsters with high power and effects etc. Crazy
One of my favorite "Stratos" cards is "Rikka Petal". Once a turn she lets you search your deck for any Rikka monster to add to your hand, in exchange for licking you into Plant monsters for the turn. Then you can use her to summon your higher level Rikkas, going into the tribute activated effects of the deck. And when that's said and done, she'll return to your field at the end of your opponent's turn.
I hard agree with speedroid terrortop at number 1, speedroids were pretty strong around the same time as pepe decks but never got all the notoriety until people started splashing speedroid engines into other decks
Keep up the good work! Could you also make a top 10 list for more categories please? I have a few suggestions here.
-Best/worst cards that send from deck to graveyard
-Worst positive card effects
-Best/Worst xyz monsters
-Best/worst Pendulum monsters
-Best/worst that sends from field to deck
You did show fusion, synchro and link monsters but not much of xyz or pendulum monsters.
-Best/worst red eyes cards (Red eyes is also popular so im curious on this one.
-Best exodia support cards (You havent mentioned a lot of exodia support ive noticed)
These are some suggestions i have.
Shoutout to Machina Gearframe, its a shame he didn't get the or special summoned treatment, but I suppose they didn't want him to search every time you detached him. It could've been a really nice combo with Soldier and all the other union support cards besides a detach search.
you could use Performapal Five Rainbow Magician in a Guru Control deck, reasons: the opponent can't attack unless they have at least one set card, you can double your monsters attack points by having multiple set cards like Subterror final battle, Scrap Iron Scarecrow etc.
Souleating oviraptor actually saw play in some dragon link decks while Ib was still legal.
In relation to this video, Top Ten Cyber Dragon-like cards, Summoner Monk-like cards, and/or Top Ten Judgement Dragon-like cards

Hearing what happened to Subterrors actually DISGUSTS me. An archetype of cool, high level flip-effect boss monsters.... That got tossed aside in favor of more thematically generic low-level monsters, to the point that decks built around the archetype aren't even named after the archetype!
Listening about Infernities, it's also sad that Counter Traps have fallen out of play. Traps are 1 of the 3 main card types, yet so many aren't played.
Anyway, neat list video! Thanks for uploading!
Counter Traps are occasionally used still. Mainly for control decks though. Mainly generic stuff that does a lot like Solemn Strike and family. They also get tossed aside because of monsters having negation power while also having a body. Traps like Infinite Impermanence and Evenly Matched are still viable since they can be activated from the hand under some conditions and setting them is a viable play too.
My boy Cyber Dragon Core didn’t make the list ;_;
Also Blue Boy (Spellbook Magician of Prophecy) didn't make the list despite once was the only deck that can match Dragon Rulers.
2007 yu-gi-oh was a different time. Floating effects in general were really hard to come by, so a single +1 was a big deal. You had people running engines like creature swap and soul exchange, and summoning monsters like don zaloog, just to set up for that game winning +1. Everybody was running sangan etc... Breaker, the magical warrior was the biggest floating beatstick at the time with 1600 atk, and even that was somewhat conditional as they might chain the card you were trying to destroy, and that card was a staple in every deck. Stratos wasn't banned because of the second effect at all. It was banned because an 1800-atk creature that already paid for itself was more than the game could handle.
Creature swap is a -1.
@@baselw1317 no it's a build around. the idea is you swap a token or a battle searcher so the card you lose is either irrelevant or you attack over it and get it back. you lose creature swap, you get their actual card, and they lose their actual card. +1.

Dogmatika Ecclesia is another excellent card that satisfies the conditions of this list. Dogmatika is one of the most splashable engines of all time mostly because of her, and Ecclesia also has a continuous effect that acts as a tiny bit of protection for herself.
She's arguably the most important part of the engine. Either her or Nadir Servant as they enable their plays and Nadir Servant can occasionally act like a better Extra Foolish Burial at the same time.
No mention to D/D Savant Kepler? It adds one Dark Contract and is a pendulum.
well shoot yeah being able to special summon off a special summon would be super useful in level spam decks that focus on going into xyz monsters because in most level spam decks its honestly super rare to get more than 2 monsters on the field consistently in one turn which is why so many of the strongest xyz monsters simply require 3 monsters of the same level though most of the time being able to go into an xyz monster that just requires 2 monsters of the same level is enough to make level spam decks really good already which is why when setting up your extra deck in a level spam deck xyz monsters that require more than 2 monsters of the same level are like putting a high level monster in your main deck which is if there's to many of them you risk not being able to make plays and in the best level spam decks that's mostly a real issue because you are so limited in your extra deck being able to at most have 15 cards in your extra which doesn't sound like a problem until really consider how valuable having multiple options to xyz summon with is which gets even more strained when you add higher rank xyz monsters for super strong rank up plays which also can make it tough to play a level spam deck if you have to many of them in your extra deck by the way ;D
Pretty ironic that the Infernity archetype has a damn good searcher that fills the hand. Then again, this was the archetype used by Kiryu, and he was coocoo for cocoa puffs for the longest time.
Huh. And all this time I thought a "Stratos for an archetype" was a monster that destroys Spells and Traps.
That was honestly my first reaction to that card as well. I've first seen it in Duel Links, long before the search-effect was actually useful. I wonder if there are enough cards that can destroy spells/traps on summon for a top 10.

I would have thought that Trickstar Candina would have also made the list. A wide search range and a burn effect on any enemy Spell/Traps that resolve? It's an easy Lycoris or Lilybell. Lycoris especially, since it would recycle Candina for later plays.
I am surprised the Dragon Rulers weren't in the top as an honorary mention, given those can also search stuff.
I know they are in a banlist to keep the lists varied but as a brief mention at the end saying why they weren't mentioned would do enough
I was really hoping to see Ninja Grandmaster Hanzo because it can search disruption tools on normal summon and more ninjas on special summon so it does fit the criteria
I love ninja's. The problem with ninja's is, they are slow, they rely on their normal summon a lot, and sure, they have the ability to swarm, but name one ninja that actually does anything. They really need some support. Now if the deck got support so it had an actual boss monster (shogun is an extender, not a boss monster) and it wouldn't rely on normal summon as much for comboplays, I do agree, hanzo would be the first card they hit because it would be super broken.
I think Souleating Oviraptor deserves all the credit it can get...that thing is one of the main reasons dinos became relevant wayyy after the xyz era...
