Solemn warning and pot of duality era was the best. The cards were meta defining in every way, but they weren't stupidly broken like dominus impulse with broken effects and fake restrictions. Whatever happens in life, Solemn warning will always be my GOAT.
Not gonna lie, I still occasionally use Mirror Force and Crush Card virus, not necessarily for their effects but in combination with The Fang of Critias for their Dragon Fusion cards. Also used Drowning, Storming, & Quaking Mirror Force along with Magic Cylinder just the see the surprise in their faces.
Gravedigger's traphole easily one of the best negates a monster effect in hand banished or gy and it's not once per turn,* and also burns for 2k on resolution*
I won a bunch of duels back in the day with compulsory evacuation device. Its good for the same reasons as icarus attack but it doesnt require a tribute(or winged beasts). I mostly used the card for removal right after my opponent summoned from the extra deck. I enjoyed it because I faced a number of stonewall cards and sending them to the hand was generally more effective than trying to destroy said monster's. I had a good friend who would run x 3 card guard in nearly every deck. I fucking couldnt handle that shit some days. Bro put card guard and field barrier in a deck with seal of orichalcos. Would stonewall for 10 years. He would summon beelze the diabolic dragon then activate seal. Couldnt attack over or destroy beelze. Dimension prison and compulsory evacuation device saved my life and sanity😂
I like Stardust Re-spark. It lets you stop an attack that would wipe out out your lifepoints and lets you draw a card and then also let's you summon one 'Stardust' monster from you extra deck!
Anyone remember when Spellbinding Circle was actually a helpful card instead of just a card that takes up space? Also, in terms of trap cards, I feel Ordeal of a Traveler would take a spot even if lower in the tier.
I actually use that rather than infinite impermanence in my personal deck. Let's just say if it can't be reset to the field it's graveyard effect can be useful.
Works been really tough recently (behavioral health is no joke). Thanks for the yugioh videos and positive vibes, man. Small good stuff helps out a ton.
Mirror force is capable of being a combo piece with the right build in Unchained. It should be able to trigger Unchained Abomination's first effect. A Labrynth/Unchained hybrid could make this terrifying.
Unchained Abomination's first effect reads: 'If a card(s) on the field is destroyed by a card effect, except by 'Unchained Abomination'(except during the damage step) you can target one card on the field and destroy it.' since Mirror force works on attack declaration, the damage step(Calculation+application of damage) DOESN'T happen. So you SHOULD be free to activate Abomination's effect, after resolving your mirror force. That's a SHOULD. Raigeki definitely can activate Abomination's first effect as it's ONLY usable in either main phase, meaning the damage step is irrelevant to the triggering of Unchained Abomination's first effect.😅
If I had to name a trap card that don't mess around I'd choose Judgment of Anubis, I'm the type of guy that likes to have negates running in his deck. Being that I'm a old school player I try to watch out for those board breakers by being one step ahead. That barrel card used to be really popular, you could use it in combination with wall of revealing light and that would be a wrap. I knew a guy back in the day that would run those cards, and along with that strategy he'd also intentionally put the Exodia pieces in his graveyard and then he'd use back up soldier to assemble the pieces. I gotta say though we don't use those cards no more.
Bottomless Traphole was my favorite trap card back in the day, it won me a lot of matches. I had it in my earliest build of my Eldlich Zombie World deck in Master Duel.
Although I stopped playing yugioh about a decade ago it's nice to see someone putting some respect on counter traps...I was a counter fairy duelist when I played and part of my reason I stopped was the the lack of support and when they did drop any support it was always like 4 or 5 formats too late...
Some powerful traps that were powerful but no longer of use... If you check before the Synchro era, cards like Dust Tornado and Sakuretsu Armor were plentiful. Dimensional Prison was also a strong contender.
This is the only game with a banlist and makes card remasters. However STILL decides to Errota'ed classic stuff like Crush Card just to then go ahead and make Poplar. Destroy the legacy of its own iconic cards in the game.. I just don't get the management of this game at all...
You mentioned witch’s strike at least as an honorable mention. You get a like. You mentioned ring of destruction. You get a like. You warned players of my babies, mirror force and magic cylinder(+magical cylinders combo) You lost a like. 😂 Results… you gots a like. 😂 Bonus: I got some dumb casual ideas now.
My favorites are the Mirror Force cards and Magic Cylinders. Syrus had the better version of the card Atem used, and I'll tell you why. Cylinder is probably one if not among the only traps that isn't effected by the Egyptian God cards . I know because I pulled it on someone when they had Ra at 15/000, so naturally they weren't happy, because the attack goes back at their LP. Mirror Forces can surprise opponents. I pulled the original on someone who had a full field, and the dude didn't even pay attention. His expression was a cartoon character or fish. Blazing runs similar to Ring of Destruction, and Quaking is a beautiful set-up for Blue Eyes Chaos and Chaos Max.
I still use Icarus attack. It is still good, for the same reason the modern versions are, but it only works in decks like floow and similar that have winged-beasts. It made it a lot more consistent, as i could get rid of opponents cards easily at no cost with floow. Tribute robina, and what exactly do I lose? Just puts it back in summoning rotation, and even lets me dodge imperm or similar if used properly.
As someone who pulled Two Pronged Attack as their first rare from Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon in 2002, Two Pronged Attack was absolutely never, ever good at all
Fucking love flipping Mirror Force and Magic Cylinder on modern Yugioh players. the look of shock and surprise when they see these golden oldies used and essentially halt them in their place *never* gets old.
Some of my favorites were evacuation device, spirit of silence, metalmorphe and curse of Anubis. There's also another trap card that works like evacuation device but it shuffle the card that they had on the field back into the deck but there's so much search now that card is not going to be very useful evacuation device still hits links but the game is so fast cards like curse of Anubis it's probably just going to get negated 😂😂😂
Traps, is what made yugioh a card game let’s be real, the mind games it created dictated moves, especially when games didn’t end in a few turns so taking a risk wasn’t worth the award
Appointer of the red lotus is buster and can't forget about compulsory shit is timeless such a simple but effective card after people have linked ot snchryod in a monster that can't be destroyed. Think about i:p into a underworld goddess can't be destroyed unaffected unless targeted or appo then compulsory that shit back lol
Konami never needs to change a car affect and ring it's actually should never have been banned or ratted there's no reason why you couldn't still play it the right way and that is so you never lose a game and it's tight if that it comes even to that point where you can play it that way and your opponent lets you get that close to where they can play it that way and present themselves from losing the opponent sucks and deserves to get tired because they should have never let their opponent get to the same rights as them is to give their opponent a chance to use a card like that against them
Solemn warning and pot of duality era was the best. The cards were meta defining in every way, but they weren't stupidly broken like dominus impulse with broken effects and fake restrictions. Whatever happens in life, Solemn warning will always be my GOAT.
Yea and them getting featured as promo in the tins was soo good. Almost all meta cards were gettable and afforable. I miss that time 😢
Torrential tribute

Breakthrough Skill is a cool card
I actually use that rather than infinite impermanence in my personal deck. Let's just say if it can't be reset to the field it's graveyard effect can be useful.
I still use it in master duel for my decks that aren’t going to do a 1 turn finisher so the graveyard effect saves me
10:24 ooo I’m thinking of putting this in my Yubel deck as a tech.Non targeting removal.

Works been really tough recently (behavioral health is no joke). Thanks for the yugioh videos and positive vibes, man. Small good stuff helps out a ton.
Still play mirror force 🤣 such a classic getting the "who plays this still?" After winning off it
Mirror force is capable of being a combo piece with the right build in Unchained. It should be able to trigger Unchained Abomination's first effect. A Labrynth/Unchained hybrid could make this terrifying.
Unchained Abomination's first effect reads: 'If a card(s) on the field is destroyed by a card effect, except by 'Unchained Abomination'(except during the damage step) you can target one card on the field and destroy it.' since Mirror force works on attack declaration, the damage step(Calculation+application of damage) DOESN'T happen.

Raigeki definitely can activate Abomination's first effect as it's ONLY usable in either main phase, meaning the damage step is irrelevant to the triggering of Unchained Abomination's first effect.😅
Can we get a tier list for decks for returning players? 👀
Too many people using the same decks bro. Use the Meta hand traps and board wipes and make your own scheme and strategies.
The fear Torrential Tribute put into players back in the day was peak 😂
How bout a dark magician deck build and what the archetype needs in the way of new cards to make it viable for the upcoming meta.
I love how Master Duel just has a simple animation of the Solemn dude popping up, but when it's anime, he pops up with maidens just to taunt you

You mean Barrel Behind the Door? That doesn't combo with Wall of Revealing Light, since paying LP is different from taking effect damage.

As someone who pulled Two Pronged Attack as their first rare from Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon in 2002, Two Pronged Attack was absolutely never, ever good at all
Is something like Just Desserts viable at all nowadays? I don't play modern YGO so I'm wondering
strike and ice dragon prison see play in most trap lab deck so they do see play, the rest of this not so much
IDP is so underrated, it is basically the modern day D Prison.
I actually run stardust road for set and field spell defense lmao
I think they should make more traps like infinite infinite impermanence that can activate from the hand.
