Wind Effigy is also an ass card. "This card can be treated as 2 Tributes for the Tribute Summon of a WIND Normal Monster." The only card it can be used for that is legal is Simorgh, Bird of Ancestry.
I'm pretty sure its "1 less tribute" effect is only active once it's on the field, but that's not the point. The point is that Wind Effegy's effect is worthless. Regardless if its effect works from the hand or not, it's the only card that can be summoned using Wind Effegy's effect (due to it being a Normal monster in the hand). There are no other legal WIND Normal monsters -(or monsters that are Normal in the hand)- that are Level 7+.
The Immortal of Thunder was pretty horrific. Unless you combo it with Dimension Fissure or Macro Cosmos to prevent it from hitting the graveyard, it's absolutely awful. I've never seen someone play it before and I've played since LOB got released. Also, on a side note: I once lost a fun game to a Mucus Yolk equipped with Axe of Despair. Dude combined it with gravity bind and MST was at 1 (because of Mirage of Nightmare), Mucus Yolk wasn't all that easy to get around, and beat me late in the game. It was embarrassing.
Doesn't work like that. It's still sent to YOUR graveyard so you take the damage. It also doesn't even count as burn damage so if you try to combo it off of Prime material dragon, it doesn't work. It's a shitty Aegis of Dagla.
While I don't play immortal in a competitive deck (yet), it's fun flipping him up, gain 3k, and Xyz with the guy. He's level 4, which already is a good level
nothing embarrasing to loosing to actual good tactics though.... there's also a ZeXal card that does the same thing and it even starts with 300 and it's also an Aqua and YET i would still ue Mukus Yolk cause it's a Crush Card target lol.... anyways, it's all about knowing the cards there is an imagining a strategy though
At the time of release, Weather Report wasn't bad, just obscure. Same for Hourglass of Courage because you can simply Waboku, Magic Cylinder, or Mirror Force the attacking monster. It was good for baiting out monster attacks or forcing trap cards.
Hahaha waiting for a reboot, for the worst deck in the game! This is Konami they only ban the good cards and make more broken ones, to eventually ban and start over again
Those would be cool for a potential future tier 1 deck. But I would like Insect Queen to become either an XYZ monster or a Link Monster so it can still use the whole laying egg theme.
Here's another. Griggle: If the monster switched to the opponent's control while faced up, you get 3000 LP. If you have another monster to go along with it, then maybe, just maybe it may be useful.
In Yugioh Duel Links, they broke the Hourglass of Courage. On the second turn, they don't double his stats- it stays at 1,100. If it is summoned face-down and revealed while attacked, it completely ignores the effect.
Yo! Mucus Yolk + Mage Power + United We Stand = New Meta! In all seriousness though, Yado looks like a card that protects you from maybe the deckout decks? Not sure... I mean it can maybe buy you one more turn so you don't deck out. I can kinda see Yugi pulling off a bullshit move like that where he's playing Weevil and he summons this crap and then Weevil gloats that Yugi has no more deck left and that he'll get rekt next turn and there's no moon for him to attack. Yugi then uses his "Anime Generic Trap Card" to change his Yado to defense and places his hand of 6 cards in his deck saving himself from deckout. Except obviously Yugi wouldn't use such a card because he's not fucking stupid and that card is too ugly for a protagonist's deck so... Yeah
I think Weather report should not be on the list just because it is the only card that allow you to go to battle phase twice. And the card is probably the reason why certain card effect has to say "this card can attack twice during EACH battle phase this turn" instead of just "...during the battle phase this turn". Of course this doesn't make the card good or anything but I think it is unique and fun enough to try out with monsters that can attack twice
kisame.... to borrow the wise words of Mkhol, "let's be real here...", a lot of the cards that you are pointing out are old cards. Extremely old, back when everyone was still summoning 1800 atk beat sticks and "Summoned skull was the only out to Jinzo" old. There are actually some more recent cards now that are just as bad if not WORST than some of those 10+ year old cards.
Gouki and F.A. as archetypes, Krawlers, Altergeist, Amorphages, Subterror, wyrm type support, Raidraptor(post master rule 4), most non-dragon/Blue-Eyes legacy support, Psyframes, pyro as a monster type, and half of the cards in every new set.
In Mai's defense, it did come out prematurely(so it never had its full ATK/effect) and even then, it reduced the ATK of your opponents monsters continuously until they hit 0.
He missed boy cotton and when he is destroyed you take 1000 damage to your life points and your opponent ganes 2000 life points also boy cotten has 0 attack
man you're everywhere these days chap - nice autolike btw -...... because none of them can attack directly and cause they will fall easily to a bottomless lol
The only thing that I can think for Yado Garu is a supporter for the times when Future Fusion was legal and you needed to fuse monsters from your hand... But his eff hardly goes off, like: you need to change his battle position. So, pot of generosity could do a better job.
In Yado Karu's defence, I would like to point out that there were cards around like Red Eyes Black Metal Dragon which could only be special summoned from the deck, and are therefore were dead cards once drawn. While such monsters aren't the most useful, they still provided a use for Yado Karu. Though we now have pot of generosity which does the same thing without the draw backs of being a monster card, so Yado Karu is definitely useless now.
Special Summon Boar Soldier, then activate Reverse Trap. Good for taking down an opponent's high power monster (high power for when these cards were released, of course... back when 2500-2800 was considered to be the most powerful cards in the game), then in Main Phase 2, tribute summon it for something more powerful or as fuel for a spell/trap/monster effect cost. Yado Karu is useful when your opponent forces you to draw cards or burns them from your deck. Any cards in your hand that you don't need can be put on the bottom of your deck to help you bide your time that little bit longer and come up with some way to stop them. It also works with cards that force you to draw cards too, like Morphing Jar or Card Destruction, etc, to stop you decking out as quickly as your opponent.
it's tedious, but, you could use the hermit crab one to place a card in the bottom of your deck to then setup for another card. Example: I want to ritual summon my Chaos MAX, but the only ritual spell card I have to use is Advanced Ritual Art. So, I'd be able to play/change hermit crab to put a Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my hand to the deck, then ARA it to the grave to ritual summon MAX. I mean, obviously, that's a very tedious and oddly specific play, but I'm pretty sure there's a deck or two out there that could back on putting cards from your hand back into your deck for whatever setup reason.
watch, a deck will focus on placing card on the bottom of the deck for their effects to go off and yado karu will become the new meta and maybe even banned
7: mocus yolk, coul be used (maybe) with the "seal of orichalcos" to be able of makeing damage while protecting it from atacks with other stronger monsters, you may also add "level limits - zone b" and or "gravity binder" to make a lock combo while using mocus yolk as the attacker avoiding your oponent monsters, like a ghostrick deck idea , I mean is bad, but is better than "wether report" and "zone eater".
im a returnng yu gi oh player, only been back in the loop the last 3yrs or so but on my return i saw all these archetypes and thought "wheres all the originality". i love to play all sorts of archetypes but i firmly believe in making your own decks with the cards you love. be it from different eras or archetypes.
JAYW656 i made a buster blader the dragondestroyer swordsman x dragunity Deck and it is the ultimate counter to the generic Monster Spam you face today xd you get out the swordsman + Buster Dragon and Boom every Monster is useless and i mean litterally every Monster since their effects are negated even before they really Hit the field xd ( oh and since every Monster is Dragon Type due to buster Dragon it means +1k for the swordsman, get punch through and some backrow = Ez win every time ) there is litterally no Variation in todays decks.. solem cards into your own combo is the only thing you See
I think that Return Zombie is shit. First of all he has to be in the graveyard to work. Second of all you have to have no cards in your hand at your standby phase. What's the problem? You will always have a card in your hand during your standby phase unless you use reckless greed or can't draw, in which you've already lost. Dafuq were Konami smoking when they made this card!?!
The only reasonable way is to already have no hand, top deck a quick-play, and activate it right away during the Draw Phase. Either that, or any other quick effect that lets you discard during the Draw Phase lol.
if you use dr. frankinderps ability and draw a card and if keep that card you skip your next draw phase then you could use return zombies ability though the payoff isnt really worth the effort.
You could have put Swordsman from a Distant Land in place of Zone Eater because their stats and effects are the same, making both of them essentially the same card.
Yado Karu combo with convulsion of nature should you happen to have something like sylvan, rank-up magic the seventh one, or other draw effects could suprise the opponent by switching out on them so uniquely. Aside from that, and the work it takes to do so, ya, it sucks.
It's funny some of those cards were the part of the initial cards YGO Duel Links had back in Dec.2016 which makes us think konami tried to make them good by putting them in a different game ( 3 monster/spell/trap slots; 4000 hp) I see that as an insult for YGO fans but what can I do right?
wind effigy is one of those cards that counts as 2 tributes but only works for wind monsters, which sucks considering there are no wind monsters that need 2 tributes
I don't think weather report actually deserves a spot on this list, because, while it is indeed extremely situational, especially with SoRL being a card that noone uses or would ever use in today's game, its effect is actually good. (when you look at it without taking in acount how situational it is, it's a +1 (or -1 for yur opponent depnding on how you want to count that) that gives you a double battle phase.) it's also a level 4 water monster, which means it could be used to make bahamut shark, and treatoad. also it's just extremely cute so yeah. not saying it's good, but it's definitely not one of the worst. also we could make the argument that yado karu is also material for bahamut shark and dark artist is a tour guide target, but their respective effects are actually garbage so i'll let it go
I'd say Winged Dragon of Ra. I know they had to really tone down his effect to make him playable but in order for him to have atk points, you have to leave yourself with only 100 life points
If I had to use Yado Karu, I would use it in a stall/stun deck where the object is to get your opponent to deck out. And near the end, you use Yado to make sure you don't deck out first
needle ball can work with a d/d deck if you are using solidrality. needle ball is a fiend type so it will not mess up solidrality and you are going to get a lot of lp with the dark contract d/d/d oracle king d arc combo
Yado Karu places all your cards as well as infernity archfiend to the bottom of your deck, then use cunvulsion of nature and upstart goblin for sick plays
Warrior of Courage(lvl5)(light) (warrior/effect) When you summon this card, it's atk becomes 1000. during your standby phase, this monsters atk becomes 3000. 2000/2000
... nah, he just needs to survive 1 turn though not to mention tribute summon monsters have plenty support now, i'd even a good Monarch deck high beater...
The problem is who would let it live for a whole turn and if someone did actually leave it alone they will most likely have something higher than 3000 atk to just run the fuck over it.
needle ball would work in combo with cards that state "when you take effect damage apply that damage to your opponent instead" so now they take 3000 instead of 1000. mucus yolk would work with sword and shield as well. "spirit of the pot of greed" works good in a pot of greed deck. POG deck is all pot of greed cards that are in the game made into a deck,can also combo with exodia. i use hourglass of courage in my fair deck. anyway example summon hourglass set negate attack and interdenominational matter transporter. opponent attacks activate negate or transporter. change yado karu to def,add the cards you don't need, then activate jar of avarice/or/ pot of dichotomy,add your five/three and draw. basically allows you to put cards back into the deck you don't need and drew something you do with out running the risk of drawing the same cards you added to the deck
Haku Yuki are some cards that also state "when you pay life points,discard X number of cards instead" or any other number of cards that are a trade off instead of life points when you have to pay.
There is a deck that allows you to give your opponent a card in your hand (Swords of Revealing Light) and there is plays and personal field advantage that force your opponent to use it. Bam. Weather Report. Win.
You should've put either Giant Turtle Who Feeds On Flames or Hieratic Seal Of The Sun Dragon Overlord. It is not like they make the duel worse for you like Needle Ball does but these two cards are not cards you'd want to draw if you need a clutch card, if you need a card to destroy an opponents strong-attack monster or any other part of the duel.
for yado Karu the only thing I could see it being used for is maybe infernaty decks to get the no hand effects off but that is about it and for the thing about mi is because in the anime great moth had the fake effect that lowered the opponent's monster attack points with the pollen thing
Goddess of Whim she's a level three light attribute fairy with 950 attack and 700 defense her effect is flip a coin and if you call it right double her attack and defense points during this turn if you call it wrong halve them instead
Hourglass of Courage's original attack and def are halved, therefore when they are doubled, they go back the the 1100 and 1200 you started off with. Even worse than you thought...
No, I think it actually doubles to 2200/2400 since it says "its original ATK and DEF are halved until the End phase of your next turn. AFTER THAT, the ORIGINAL atk and def are doubled.
Wow! My weather report didn't specify the opponent's "Swords of Revealing Light", which means that I could play the swords myself to use weather report's effect, but I guess it was too broken, so they needed to errata it.
Boar soldier is as useless as umbreon with synchronoise. For those of you who don't know, synchronoise is a psychic type move that can only hit Pokemon that are the same type/have one of the same types as the user. Umbreon is pure dark type. Dark type is immune to psychic
"Guardian Elma". Every card in the video could atleast be summoned, one way or another, even though you'd never do that. But "Guardian Elma" can only be summoned if you conrol a "Butterfly Dagger - Elma" - a card hat will probably never leave the banlist.
You know what's a card I like that I use, Raging Flame Sprite, which I've used for god knows how long and is one of my signature cards (I know I did the opposite so I'll give a bad monster, Number 98: Antitopian/Dystopia)
Thousand-Eyes Idol. Thanks to other methods to summon Thousand-Eyes Restrict, Thousand-Eyes Idol had no purpose. But for effect monster I would have to say Gate Guardian. You need 3 monsters which need 2 monster to get each one out. Wasting 9 monster for a powerful monster that has no other effect other than it needs those 3 monsters to be summoned.
I could said counter cards like Anti Raigeki but these are just price cards, so I'll say "Nuvia the Wicked Basically is Boar Soldier but slightly better
Mucus Yolk(number 7) doesn't seem that bad. just increase its ATK points and protect it for a bit. Then your next Standby phase, his ATK points increase by 1000. So let's say you increase the ATK by 500 point. On its 2nd attack you can do 2000 life points damage total. If it's still around, on the 3rd attack it can cause another 2500. So that's 4500 life points total.
Interesting enough one of my favourite cards has one of the worst effects and that is familiar knight. Both you and your opponent get to summon a 4 star monster and it is most likely going to happen during your opponents turn giving them a monster to attack with. Still love the card though
yado could work in lightsworn and other decks when you have two jds on the field and you only have like maybe 3-8 cards left and two or even one card in your hand and you didn't normal summon yet. even then, the card is indeed ass
Personally, I think Wind Effigy is probably deserving of being in the top 10 worst. Its stats are ok for its level, but its effect is impossible to use. Unless that's changed while I've been away from the game, and Konami decided to add a random level 7 wind-attribute normal monster. There's also An Unfortunate Report, which gives your opponent another battle phase. For no goddamned reason. There's also pot of generosity - I mean, it's yado karu as a spell card. There's also Humble Sentry that, while it doesn't minus you as many cards, it shows your hand to your opponent. Or, how about Gift of Greed? It's a trap, so it's slow, and it makes your opponent draw a card. It's a minus 1 for you, plus one for your opponent. Also did we forget that Relay Soul exists? It's probably the most pointless card I have seen in this game. You summon a monster from your hand, but it KILLS YOU WHEN THAT MONSTER LEAVES THE FIELD. WHY? This means, you cannot overlay using this monster as an xyz material, or you die. You cannot use it as synchro or fusion material, or you die. You shouldn't even attack with this monster, because Mirror Force, Dimensional Prison, and even the worst, flimsiest of battle phase traps like Sakaretsu Armor can end the game because of Relay Soul. Hell, if they have Bottomless Trap Hole or Torrential Tribute, it can be over before you even do anything with this monster. Also, fun fact about yado karu, it was actually erattaed. The card text you have says, "When this monster changes from attack position to defense position" in order to activate its effect, which makes sense, as it is something you would naturally want to do since yado karu has more defense than attack. But, I shit ye not, they swapped which way you have to change battle positions - Yado Karu now needs to change from defense position to attack position to use it's shitty, minus-2 card effect. WTF?
Ah - there's something I'm thinking of that can't. Maybe it's not a fusion card but... idk Metalfoes can't activate their effects if you don't have Metalfoes spells/traps in your deck.
juri gummo is the worst effect monster to me. sure u can summon in for a 2200 wall, but if u attack n get the coin toss wrong you halve your life points. even when this card was new I'm pretty sure we had goblin attack force or something.
I wouldn't put spirit of pot of greed in top 5. You could at the very least special summon him and then use pot of greed, draw 3 cards and then synchro/xyz/link summon a monster afterwords. Assuming your opponent doesn't Ash Blossom or Ghost Ogre. Either way, Spirit is definitely not even top 10 worst card, not great at all but honestly not the worst. True POG is banned but that isn't a fair reason to say Spirit is one of the worst because of that reason.
The correct name for this should be "worst effects" instead of "worst cards" because Dark Artist is better than let's say Dancing Elf. Dark Artist is a Lvl 3, Dark/Fiend. That is extremely easy to search and useful.
And with Yado Karu you do nothing but go minus, and take TWO TURNS to do it. If you really really REALLY don't want to draw back into those cards, just play pot of generosity.
What about Sword Slasher or Dice Armadillo? Sword Slasher is probably the worst machine ever. It's like Level 5 and has even worse stats then Shapesnatch.
i used to use hourglass of courage and equip it with axe of despair with moon mirror shield and swords of revealing light and it would kill all my friends
Crystal Skull is worse than Needle Ball by far. You normal it and you get burned for 1000. What do you get for it? F*cked when your opponent summons practically anything.
rom kim my friend plays a predator plant deck and its preety powerful plus if your monsters become lvl 1 due to predator counters its hard to syncro or xyz summon high level/rank monsters
Wind Effigy is also an ass card.
"This card can be treated as 2 Tributes for the Tribute Summon of a WIND Normal Monster."
The only card it can be used for that is legal is Simorgh, Bird of Ancestry.
DynamoDuskull but…it would require 1 tribute anyways…
... SIMORGH Bird of Divinty
I'm pretty sure its "1 less tribute" effect is only active once it's on the field, but that's not the point. The point is that Wind Effegy's effect is worthless.
Regardless if its effect works from the hand or not, it's the only card that can be summoned using Wind Effegy's effect (due to it being a Normal monster in the hand).
There are no other legal WIND Normal monsters -(or monsters that are Normal in the hand)- that are Level 7+.
DynamoDuskull And even if there were, why would you waste a tribute for them when they do nothing
lol
Gene-Warped Warwolf: Who are you?
Boar Soldier: I'm you, but suckier.
Boar solider was probably like wtf is this?! when they announced Gene warped werewolf, and then he committed suicide and ended up in the graveyard
Jason Miller it's "warwolf"
Andrew Decker and then he saw alexanderite dragon and demanded banishment. XD
That's one of the few cards that do suck in YGO and will forever suck... waste of paper
Panther Warrior. 2000 Level 4 beatstick, but you need to tribute a card each time you attack.
The Immortal of Thunder was pretty horrific. Unless you combo it with Dimension Fissure or Macro Cosmos to prevent it from hitting the graveyard, it's absolutely awful. I've never seen someone play it before and I've played since LOB got released.
Also, on a side note: I once lost a fun game to a Mucus Yolk equipped with Axe of Despair. Dude combined it with gravity bind and MST was at 1 (because of Mirage of Nightmare), Mucus Yolk wasn't all that easy to get around, and beat me late in the game. It was embarrassing.
The Immortal + Creature swap...
Doesn't work like that. It's still sent to YOUR graveyard so you take the damage. It also doesn't even count as burn damage so if you try to combo it off of Prime material dragon, it doesn't work. It's a shitty Aegis of Dagla.
True.
While I don't play immortal in a competitive deck (yet), it's fun flipping him up, gain 3k, and Xyz with the guy. He's level 4, which already is a good level
nothing embarrasing to loosing to actual good tactics though.... there's also a ZeXal card that does the same thing and it even starts with 300 and it's also an Aqua and YET i would still ue Mukus Yolk cause it's a Crush Card target lol.... anyways, it's all about knowing the cards there is an imagining a strategy though
That spider that costs you 1/2 your life points to attack with 2200, based on a coin flip.
Naonna Pryderi Jurai Gumo if I'm not mistaken?
Naonna Pryderi that card should've never been invented.
yup. At least it's a level 4.
SKILL DRAIN
I mean Qlis and Malefics exist to be big beaters under Skill Drain.
At the time of release, Weather Report wasn't bad, just obscure. Same for Hourglass of Courage because you can simply Waboku, Magic Cylinder, or Mirror Force the attacking monster. It was good for baiting out monster attacks or forcing trap cards.
Obviously you just protect the Hourglass of Courage with Swords of Revealing Light for the big wombo combo
that combo is hard countered by Weather Report though.
Lucky I have my needle ball to deal some damage and block an attack
Possibly the greatest stream of comments for this video.......BTW while yall waste time on those my Larvae moth only gets stronger!
Oh, but I have my Dark Artist who has more defence, even when DNA Surgery is set to light.
IBmaster4 you ruined the comment stream by saying it was a good comment stream. Good job.
still waiting for a reboot of the great moth/insect queen deck
Hahaha waiting for a reboot, for the worst deck in the game! This is Konami they only ban the good cards and make more broken ones, to eventually ban and start over again
Jason Miller what does that have to do with what marquel said in any way whatsoever
Ultimate Insect works in a similar way to how Moth worked in the show, getting stronger every turn until it's complete.
Jason Miller Jokes on you, Konami went and rebooted Insect Queen and Cacoon of Evolution.
Those would be cool for a potential future tier 1 deck. But I would like Insect Queen to become either an XYZ monster or a Link Monster so it can still use the whole laying egg theme.
Sanwitch and Guardian Elma are both unplayable because they require banned cards to even be summoned.
I still play swords of revealing light
Caleb Luman same here 2 in fact
it's even one of the Forever Handy cards imo
- like Torrential Tribute -
I play casually I'm not planning on going to tourneys
VixXstazosJOB
its one of my best spell cards
Caleb Luman that's sad because it's garbage
Here's another. Griggle: If the monster switched to the opponent's control while faced up, you get 3000 LP.
If you have another monster to go along with it, then maybe, just maybe it may be useful.
In Yugioh Duel Links, they broke the Hourglass of Courage. On the second turn, they don't double his stats- it stays at 1,100. If it is summoned face-down and revealed while attacked, it completely ignores the effect.
cmndrkool321 lol that's not how face up effects work nigga
Yo! Mucus Yolk + Mage Power + United We Stand = New Meta!
In all seriousness though, Yado looks like a card that protects you from maybe the deckout decks? Not sure... I mean it can maybe buy you one more turn so you don't deck out. I can kinda see Yugi pulling off a bullshit move like that where he's playing Weevil and he summons this crap and then Weevil gloats that Yugi has no more deck left and that he'll get rekt next turn and there's no moon for him to attack.

well..... name at least 3 though, i'm interested XD
Gouki and F.A. as archetypes, Krawlers, Altergeist, Amorphages, Subterror, wyrm type support, Raidraptor(post master rule 4), most non-dragon/Blue-Eyes legacy support, Psyframes, pyro as a monster type, and half of the cards in every new set.
In Mai's defense, it did come out prematurely(so it never had its full ATK/effect) and even then, it reduced the ATK of your opponents monsters continuously until they hit 0.

Hmmm I might actually try a Mucus Yolk equip OTK .....
I used to use it with Rush Recklessly.
lol see, not nearly useless XD
cHo TiMe why would you not use Ben Kei or Maha Vailo instead?
Sehon13Ultd Because Mucus Yolk is love, Mucus Yolk is life
man you're everywhere these days chap - nice autolike btw -...... because none of them can attack directly and cause they will fall easily to a bottomless lol

It also works with cards that force you to draw cards too, like Morphing Jar or Card Destruction, etc, to stop you decking out as quickly as your opponent.
why the f did i see dandylion and zombie master in the thumbnail
That actually baited me lol
And time wizzard
it's tedious, but, you could use the hermit crab one to place a card in the bottom of your deck to then setup for another card.
Example:
I want to ritual summon my Chaos MAX, but the only ritual spell card I have to use is Advanced Ritual Art. So, I'd be able to play/change hermit crab to put a Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my hand to the deck, then ARA it to the grave to ritual summon MAX.

watch, a deck will focus on placing card on the bottom of the deck for their effects to go off and yado karu will become the new meta and maybe even banned
7: mocus yolk, coul be used (maybe) with the "seal of orichalcos" to be able of makeing damage while protecting it from atacks with other stronger monsters, you may also add "level limits - zone b" and or "gravity binder" to make a lock combo while using mocus yolk as the attacker avoiding your oponent monsters, like a ghostrick deck idea , I mean is bad, but is better than "wether report" and "zone eater".
This video had me dying laughing! Haha great video Kisame!!
well with needle ball you could possibly run in ddds I don't kno why you would but you can
im a returnng yu gi oh player, only been back in the loop the last 3yrs or so but on my return i saw all these archetypes and thought "wheres all the originality".
i love to play all sorts of archetypes but i firmly believe in making your own decks with the cards you love. be it from different eras or archetypes.
JAYW656 i made a buster blader the dragondestroyer swordsman x dragunity Deck and it is the ultimate counter to the generic Monster Spam you face today xd you get out the swordsman + Buster Dragon and Boom every Monster is useless and i mean litterally every Monster since their effects are negated even before they really Hit the field xd ( oh and since every Monster is Dragon Type due to buster Dragon it means +1k for the swordsman, get punch through and some backrow = Ez win every time ) there is litterally no Variation in todays decks.. solem cards into your own combo is the only thing you See
I think that Return Zombie is shit. First of all he has to be in the graveyard to work. Second of all you have to have no cards in your hand at your standby phase. What's the problem? You will always have a card in your hand during your standby phase unless you use reckless greed or can't draw, in which you've already lost. Dafuq were Konami smoking when they made this card!?!
The only reasonable way is to already have no hand, top deck a quick-play, and activate it right away during the Draw Phase. Either that, or any other quick effect that lets you discard during the Draw Phase lol.
if you use dr. frankinderps ability and draw a card and if keep that card you skip your next draw phase then you could use return zombies ability though the payoff isnt really worth the effort.
Which doesnt matter cause its banned
Zakaria Bettahar Not no more.
Yata Garasu isnt banned anymore? WTF
Dark Artist is a target for Tour Guide lol
You could have put Swordsman from a Distant Land in place of Zone Eater because their stats and effects are the same, making both of them essentially the same card.
Yado Karu combo with convulsion of nature should you happen to have something like sylvan, rank-up magic the seventh one, or other draw effects could suprise the opponent by switching out on them so uniquely. Aside from that, and the work it takes to do so, ya, it sucks.
It's funny some of those cards were the part of the initial cards YGO Duel Links had back in Dec.2016 which makes us think konami tried to make them good by putting them in a different game ( 3 monster/spell/trap slots; 4000 hp)
I see that as an insult for YGO fans but what can I do right?
wind effigy is one of those cards that counts as 2 tributes but only works for wind monsters, which sucks considering there are no wind monsters that need 2 tributes
some of these cards feel like a shitpost from 1999 ocg
I don't think weather report actually deserves a spot on this list, because, while it is indeed extremely situational, especially with SoRL being a card that noone uses or would ever use in today's game, its effect is actually good. (when you look at it without taking in acount how situational it is, it's a +1 (or -1 for yur opponent depnding on how you want to count that) that gives you a double battle phase.) it's also a level 4 water monster, which means it could be used to make bahamut shark, and treatoad. also it's just extremely cute so yeah. not saying it's good, but it's definitely not one of the worst.
also we could make the argument that yado karu is also material for bahamut shark and dark artist is a tour guide target, but their respective effects are actually garbage so i'll let it go
I'd say Winged Dragon of Ra. I know they had to really tone down his effect to make him playable but in order for him to have atk points, you have to leave yourself with only 100 life points
Needle ball,zone eater,mucus yolk, hourglass of courage, and dark artist are amazing cards weather report is in between
If I had to use Yado Karu, I would use it in a stall/stun deck where the object is to get your opponent to deck out. And near the end, you use Yado to make sure you don't deck out first
needle ball can work with a d/d deck if you are using solidrality. needle ball is a fiend type so it will not mess up solidrality and you are going to get a lot of lp with the dark contract d/d/d oracle king d arc combo
Yado Karu places all your cards as well as infernity archfiend to the bottom of your deck, then use cunvulsion of nature and upstart goblin for sick plays
You forgot Cockroach Knight. That card is a detriment to even have in your deck, he stops you from drawing new cards.
i still use the swords of reveling light
Final Legend me too
Final Legend do you play in tournaments?
Ultimate Obedient Fiend is my most hated Effect Monster. Anyone else?
yeah he sucks crap I used think was good card as a kid lol
Warrior of Courage(lvl5)(light)
(warrior/effect)
When you summon this card, it's atk becomes 1000. during your standby phase, this monsters atk becomes 3000.
2000/2000
... nah, he just needs to survive 1 turn though not to mention tribute summon monsters have plenty support now, i'd even a good Monarch deck high beater...
The problem is who would let it live for a whole turn and if someone did actually leave it alone they will most likely have something higher than 3000 atk to just run the fuck over it.
zone eater literally had me dying of laughter 😂
needle ball would work in combo with cards that state "when you take effect damage apply that damage to your opponent instead" so now they take 3000 instead of 1000.
mucus yolk would work with sword and shield as well.
"spirit of the pot of greed" works good in a pot of greed deck.
POG deck is all pot of greed cards that are in the game made into a deck,can also combo with exodia.
i use hourglass of courage in my fair deck.
anyway example summon hourglass set negate attack and interdenominational matter transporter.
opponent attacks activate negate or transporter.
change yado karu to def,add the cards you don't need, then activate jar of avarice/or/ pot of dichotomy,add your five/three and draw. basically allows you to put cards back into the deck you don't need and drew something you do with out running the risk of drawing the same cards you added to the deck
love these videos gives me a chance to show combos you didn't say or didn't think off
Heero yuy i thought that too, but it doesn't work, paying life points and taking damage are two different things
Haku Yuki are some cards that also state "when you pay life points,discard X number of cards instead"
or any other number of cards that are a trade off instead of life points when you have to pay.
There is a deck that allows you to give your opponent a card in your hand (Swords of Revealing Light) and there is plays and personal field advantage that force your opponent to use it. Bam. Weather Report. Win.
You should've put either Giant Turtle Who Feeds On Flames or Hieratic Seal Of The Sun Dragon Overlord. It is not like they make the duel worse for you like Needle Ball does but these two cards are not cards you'd want to draw if you need a clutch card, if you need a card to destroy an opponents strong-attack monster or any other part of the duel.
for yado Karu the only thing I could see it being used for is maybe infernaty decks to get the no hand effects off but that is about it and for the thing about mi is because in the anime great moth had the fake effect that lowered the opponent's monster attack points with the pollen thing
Goddess of Whim she's a level three light attribute fairy with 950 attack and 700 defense her effect is flip a coin and if you call it right double her attack and defense points during this turn if you call it wrong halve them instead
Hourglass of Courage's original attack and def are halved, therefore when they are doubled, they go back the the 1100 and 1200 you started off with. Even worse than you thought...
No, I think it actually doubles to 2200/2400 since it says "its original ATK and DEF are halved until the End phase of your next turn. AFTER THAT, the ORIGINAL atk and def are doubled.
click bait thumbnail, making me think you'd be insulting the great time wizard.
Wow! My weather report didn't specify the opponent's "Swords of Revealing Light", which means that I could play the swords myself to use weather report's effect, but I guess it was too broken, so they needed to errata it.
you're pulling weird ass shenainigans there.......... of course it was the opponents since the beggining though XD
*Having actually played Hourglass of Courage and Swords of Revealing light in a deck once*
"Eh, its not too bad."
Boar soldier is as useless as umbreon with synchronoise. For those of you who don't know, synchronoise is a psychic type move that can only hit Pokemon that are the same type/have one of the same types as the user. Umbreon is pure dark type. Dark type is immune to psychic
"Guardian Elma". Every card in the video could atleast be summoned, one way or another, even though you'd never do that. But "Guardian Elma" can only be summoned if you conrol a "Butterfly Dagger - Elma" - a card hat will probably never leave the banlist.
Pot of greed if it was a trap card might be able to come back.
You know what's a card I like that I use, Raging Flame Sprite, which I've used for god knows how long and is one of my signature cards
(I know I did the opposite so I'll give a bad monster, Number 98: Antitopian/Dystopia)
"Red eyes, blue eyes... gate guardian!" I'm sorry did you forget our lord and savior shapesnatch?
Thousand-Eyes Idol. Thanks to other methods to summon Thousand-Eyes Restrict, Thousand-Eyes Idol had no purpose. But for effect monster I would have to say Gate Guardian. You need 3 monsters which need 2 monster to get each one out. Wasting 9 monster for a powerful monster that has no other effect other than it needs those 3 monsters to be summoned.
But all ten of these other cards are worse, the effect doesn't justify the effort. At least Gate Guardian has a fuck ton of stats.
Come on Kisame not even mentioning 'Swordsman From a Distant Land'. I expected that joke of a card to be at the number 1 spot
First off "Time Wizard" isn't the worst card it can be useful sometimes...I think
I could said counter cards like Anti Raigeki but these are just price cards, so I'll say "Nuvia the Wicked
Basically is Boar Soldier but slightly better
Mucus Yolk(number 7) doesn't seem that bad. just increase its ATK points and protect it for a bit. Then your next Standby phase, his ATK points increase by 1000. So let's say you increase the ATK by 500 point. On its 2nd attack you can do 2000 life points damage total. If it's still around, on the 3rd attack it can cause another 2500. So that's 4500 life points total.
forgot griggle
Interesting enough one of my favourite cards has one of the worst effects and that is familiar knight. Both you and your opponent get to summon a 4 star monster and it is most likely going to happen during your opponents turn giving them a monster to attack with. Still love the card though
yado could work in lightsworn and other decks when you have two jds on the field and you only have like maybe 3-8 cards left and two or even one card in your hand and you didn't normal summon yet.
even then, the card is indeed ass
I love zone eater, it's to me what dark magician was to yugi.
interesting choice of ace monster but to each their own I guess
Personally, I think Wind Effigy is probably deserving of being in the top 10 worst. Its stats are ok for its level, but its effect is impossible to use. Unless that's changed while I've been away from the game, and Konami decided to add a random level 7 wind-attribute normal monster.
There's also An Unfortunate Report, which gives your opponent another battle phase. For no goddamned reason. There's also pot of generosity - I mean, it's yado karu as a spell card. There's also Humble Sentry that, while it doesn't minus you as many cards, it shows your hand to your opponent. Or, how about Gift of Greed? It's a trap, so it's slow, and it makes your opponent draw a card. It's a minus 1 for you, plus one for your opponent.
Also did we forget that Relay Soul exists? It's probably the most pointless card I have seen in this game. You summon a monster from your hand, but it KILLS YOU WHEN THAT MONSTER LEAVES THE FIELD. WHY? This means, you cannot overlay using this monster as an xyz material, or you die. You cannot use it as synchro or fusion material, or you die. You shouldn't even attack with this monster, because Mirror Force, Dimensional Prison, and even the worst, flimsiest of battle phase traps like Sakaretsu Armor can end the game because of Relay Soul. Hell, if they have Bottomless Trap Hole or Torrential Tribute, it can be over before you even do anything with this monster.
Also, fun fact about yado karu, it was actually erattaed. The card text you have says, "When this monster changes from attack position to defense position" in order to activate its effect, which makes sense, as it is something you would naturally want to do since yado karu has more defense than attack. But, I shit ye not, they swapped which way you have to change battle positions - Yado Karu now needs to change from defense position to attack position to use it's shitty, minus-2 card effect. WTF?
Bistro Butcher. Only 1800 ATK but if you happen to deal battle damage, your opponent draws 2 cards
TherealMVP can't rememeber the whole set but I used the bistro butcher in a deck that focused on depleting the opponents deck very fast.
It does see play in Exodia as well as Mill...
number 2 you can combine it with convolution of nature
also in a troll deck with creature swap +level area b
Yado Kuru... could be in an awfully infernity deck.
Sorry if I spelled it wrong
*Karu
Or if you need a card in your deck for like idk Red-Eyes Fusion
red-eyes fusion can use materials from your hand too
Ah - there's something I'm thinking of that can't. Maybe it's not a fusion card but... idk Metalfoes can't activate their effects if you don't have Metalfoes spells/traps in your deck.
Yado Karu, if you really are afraid to deck out... just play Jar of Avarice!
juri gummo is the worst effect monster to me. sure u can summon in for a 2200 wall, but if u attack n get the coin toss wrong you halve your life points. even when this card was new I'm pretty sure we had goblin attack force or something.
I wouldn't put spirit of pot of greed in top 5. You could at the very least special summon him and then use pot of greed, draw 3 cards and then synchro/xyz/link summon a monster afterwords. Assuming your opponent doesn't Ash Blossom or Ghost Ogre. Either way, Spirit is definitely not even top 10 worst card, not great at all but honestly not the worst. True POG is banned but that isn't a fair reason to say Spirit is one of the worst because of that reason.
The correct name for this should be "worst effects" instead of "worst cards" because Dark Artist is better than let's say Dancing Elf. Dark Artist is a Lvl 3, Dark/Fiend. That is extremely easy to search and useful.
i feel like most of these cards were thought up with sentences that started with "dude wouldnt it be funny if"
congrats on your 38k Subs
Yado Karu can put the Garnet you drew back into the deck so you can use it for Brilliant Fusion
Harcion Gaming why would you not use Magical mallet instead
Sehon13Ultd with magical mallee there is a chance you could draw it again
And with Yado Karu you do nothing but go minus, and take TWO TURNS to do it. If you really really REALLY don't want to draw back into those cards, just play pot of generosity.
wind effigy counts as 2 tributes if its used to tribute summon a wond monster but there are no level 7 or 8 wind monsters
the swords of revealing light csn be yours so you can use mystical space typhoon to destroy it and trigger the effect
yado karu: you could play this in infernity if they all went back to three
What about the sphinx monsters that require Pyramid of Light? Those were awful...
Time wizard is badass
Zombyra the dark. Can't attack the opponent directly, and loses 200 attack points for every monster it destroys
SKILL DRAIN xD
What about Sword Slasher or Dice Armadillo? Sword Slasher is probably the worst machine ever. It's like Level 5 and has even worse stats then Shapesnatch.
i play swords
i used to use hourglass of courage and equip it with axe of despair with moon mirror shield and swords of revealing light and it would kill all my friends
so what is your thoughts on the new Paleozoic arch type?
Needleball can be used with flint to annihilate the opponent
Isa Maxwell you could also get rainbow life to healself
Isa Maxwell how does it work with flint?
Panther warrior, lvl 4 2000 atk, this card cannot attack unless you tribute a monster you control
Honestly, I still use Swords of Revealing Light in my decks.
You could maybe make Yado Karu Work in a deck that mills a lot if you need the extra cards in deck.
Man, some of these lists make me wonder why I was even into the game...
Crystal Skull is worse than Needle Ball by far. You normal it and you get burned for 1000. What do you get for it? F*cked when your opponent summons practically anything.
Well, boar soldier is searchable with tenki XD
So is Gene Warped warwolf
Why play boar solider when Gene warped warwolf exists
Jason Miller because boar plus reserve trap OP XD
I thought of ONE good use on number 2, get a retry at rank-up Magic the 7th one(but then again jar of adverse does it much better
I'm suprised swordsman from a different land wasn't there...
rom kim my friend plays a predator plant deck and its preety powerful plus if your monsters become lvl 1 due to predator counters its hard to syncro or xyz summon high level/rank monsters
i still use swords of revealing light..and pot of greed....,and monster reborn
oh,and they aren't illigal,they are limited
Anonymous 75 , Expect us
well in official tournament play they are. In Traditional play they're legal, but YCS Advanced and up? highly illegal
Anonymous 75 , Expect us they are definitely banned dude
