However, in Classic Yugioh, where the game is a lot slower, equip cards see usage. So in today’s video we are going to go over the top 10 equip cards of Classic Yugioh.

Top 10 classic cards that came off the banlist without an errata
Today's the 2nd anniversary of Kazuki Takahashi's death! So sad!
@@tarikkash4282 ok
Can't wait for this list
Yata, Change of Heart, Dark Hole, Raigeki, Harpie's Feather Duster, Heavy Storm, Monster Reborn, BLSEotB, Cyber Jar, Solemn Judgement.
@@fungmanhei change of heart was erataed lol
My grandma didn't know anything about Yu-Gi-Oh, only that kid me liked to collect the cards. She liked to buy a pack or two and hide it under the pillow of my bed when I came to visit during holidays. Only once did she buy me a single card: United We Stand. I loved that card and it was a staple in my decks back in the day. I may have stopped playing after the 5Ds era, but I still own that card. One of my wierd mementos of my grandma.^^
United We Stand. Bro, that's sweet as hell.
your grandma understood the assignment, so cute
Crazier combo: When you are have more lifepoints than your opponent, equip Megamorph to your opponents monsters to cut them in half.
'United We Stand' and 'Scapegoat' was the best way to cheese out the max attack, especially using it when your opponent attacks
Except your opponent can just attack your Scapegpat token instead because replay
@@fungmanheiunsurprisingly, people do not follow every rule back then
I also ran rare gold armor to keep the sheep safe
I feel like Malevolent Nuzzler should have made this list over Horn of the Unicorn, but that's just me. The DEF boost of HotU was nice, but it was never really used in practice. MN, on the other hand, had an optional top-of-deck effect that was even better than Axe of Despair (pay 500 LP, which means no loss in card advantage) and it would still cause your Level 4 1800 ATK beat-sticks to hit that sweet 2500 ATK break-point.
I remember in one of GBA games, Mokuba and Seto had a set chance of drawing Feather Duster, Raigeki, Cyber-Stein, and Megamorph in their first hand, allowing them to wipe your board, pay 5000 LP to summon the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon and then one shot you with Megamorph.
Mokuba had a chance of having BEUD in his Fusion Deck but Kaiba always did. Still, Cyber-Stein OTK was brutal in an era with no OTKs.
Oh yes, Guardian Glamberg, my favorite monster
I think if there were a top 10 number of gaffes/errors per video, this one might take the cake.
Horn of the Unicorn return to top of the deck wasn't optional, it was mandatory. That sometimes was bad.
For example if you go all out and then Get Raigekid or Dark holed Turn 1 when you have no cards left in hand.
Where is Nuzzler? It can return to top of deck with just 500 lifepoints
5:21 famously this Guardian Eatos + Sword Eatos combo does not actually work at all and never has, it has been made fun of because of how ridiculous it is that a Guardian's signature weapon can't synergize as intended with the monster itself.
Guardian Eatos will send the Sword to the GY as cost meaning the Sword will ALWAYS miss its activation timing because it's an optional when effect.
I love this game
Don't forget that you can put Megamorph on your opponent's monster as well. So if your LP are higher you have an equip spell that can halve the attack of any one of your opponent's monsters, making them much easier to destroy. Especially in early Yugioh when having a high ATK was sometimes enough to make a card viable, such as Blue Eyes or Summoned Skull and such.
Actually in Duel Links there was a crazy tactic called "Massive Amazon" that used a combo of Lava Golem, Amazoness Swordswoman, and Megamorph. You could alternatively use Massivemorph if you're worried about the Lava Golem attacking back.
Tbh blue eyes was never viable in classic yugioh, but yes Metamorph can still act as a Shrink too.
@@nicolaistuhlmuller8718 Especially if you're trying to meet the conditions of activating a Virus trap.
@@nicolaistuhlmuller8718 Yeah, Blue Eyes was low-key terrible, but because of the anime every kid and their grandma wanted to pretend to be Kaiba and had 3 in their deck.
It was so predictable you could just reserve a trap hole for your opponent's Blue Eyes and wait for them to tribute summon it.
That way you could have 1 trap hole remove 3 monsters at once.
And then you add something like Monster Reborn to steal their Blue Eyes for free.
Even as a kid I've never run Blue Eyes because it seemed so obvious that it was a net negative.
Summoned Skull on the other hand was a true menace. 1 Tribute 2.5k Atk was crazy.
Same with Big Bang Shot. Equip it to your opponent's monster, and they take the damage when they beat over you.
4:40 Ah yes, Guardian Glamberg. Guardian of Proofreading.

@@uchia9180 Why?
First place: Stratos.
I remember one of the GBA YGO games decided to give Mokuba a deck with Cyberstein, Megamorph and Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon. Just... just a bit of a nasty surprise if you were unlucky picking on the punching bag of the old games.
You’re wrong about Mage Power vs United We Stand. In goat format it was super common to get 5 monsters out using scapegoat. Also, no one was setting 5 backrow with heavy storm/harpies feather duster around.
You can tell logs doesn’t make these anymore with the consistent spelling and script errors…
yeah he's got like, 4 channels that churns out content every other day borderline, and that's without searching for more ( channels for YGO, Pokemon, Magic, WoW ) so it doesn't surprise me he has a team to help.
The amount of times these videos show me that I never actually knew what a card's art was
I could have sworn Big Bang Shot was the guy PUNCHING rather than kicking
I would also include Black Pendant, it did see some play in burn decks
Also funny how log say snatch steal is arguably best equip card in game while its only limited and not used at all while premature burial are still banned.
Megamorph is such a good equip. Equip it on an opponent's powerful monster when your life is high to beat over it. When your life is low, equip it to your own monster, beat over their monster, set MST and when they go to counterattack it blow up your Megamorph.
Bro farming my attention with classic cards. I haven't played in forever but i still watch this channel 😂
"Piercing damage isn't game changing" tell that to people during Duelist Kingdom
It's why Airknight Parshath saw play in Goat and Chaos formats. Pretty game-changing to me when it draws you a card when you do damage and the fact it's a single Tribute monster with 1900 ATK. There's another one that hand rips the opponent and does piercing damage but 1800 ATK isn't as good to justify for a single Tribute.
@@ShiningJudgment666It could be argued that it shouldn't have changed the game back then either, since modern GOAT decks don't really play Scapegoat or Angel that much. Even if we ignore that, it is not game changing effect itself, it was just a good tech choice for specific meta, probably even more because of draw than piercing.
I still run Mage Power in masterduel cause so many modern cards have effects that negate your monster effects and destroys them but Lotta them have no counter for just a huge big stick.
Don't tell him about monster or spell/trap removal guys
@@lordofcrowsif you don’t get a next turn that’s irrelevant 😅
@@TheGreatSalsaMan Then tell me how you are gonna play through a full board w/ negates while also being able to equip mage power to a guy and ALSO make it big enough to otk
@lordofcrows yes Mage Power is the solution to every single meta card in the modern game. That's totally what I'm saying
@@PricefieldPunk That's not what I wanted to imply that you were saying. I just asked SalsaMan, how you are supposed to reliably otk against a decent board with mage power as your enabler
Megamorph was also played on CyberEndDragon / CyberTwinDragon for an OTK
I like you rating these cards from the classic era, the meta has changed so much over the years it’s interesting to see how much utility could be gained from something that’s not much use now
Ah yes, that’s my favorite monster: Guardian Clamberg.
Also you can use megamorph to halve an enemy monsters atk to beat over it or make it too weak to beat over a defensive wall
7:00 Idea to make this a better “Archfiend” card:
_Archfiend’s Axe - Edge of Despair_
Equip Spell
_Equip to an “Archfiend” monster. The Equipped Monster gains 1000 ATK/DEF, and can make a second attack per battle phase. During either player’s turn, while this card is in your hand, deck or GY, If you summon an “Archfiend”monster: You can tribute 2 cards from your hand and/or field; Equip this card to that summoned monster. While this card is in your GY or Banishment, you can banish 1 card from your hand or field facedown: Add this card to your hand._
Theres another reason Premature Burial is limited in old formats, the monster special summoned is not destroyed if Prema is returned back to the hand or banished. So you could use cards that bounce spells/traps (e.g. Giant Trunade) to activate the card multiple times while also making the monster first special summoned "forget" that Prema was equiped to it. So if you activate Prema again, the first monster special summoned will not be destroyed if Prema is destroyed after the second activation because the Prema is treated as a different copy.
This also resulted in future equips with a similar caveat changed to "when this card is removed from the field, destroy that monster" and "If the monster is removed from the field, destroy this card" instead of the wording of Premature Burial which states "When this card is destroyed, destroy the equipped monster"
It was essentially a second Monster Reborn and its properties as an Equip came in handy with interactions with Giant Trunade simply because of how it was designed. It got banned due to the existence of Hidden Armory and Brionac abuse.
In old formats this had no impact as Giant Trunade saw 0 usage there. It was limited because monster reborn was banned and this was the nerfed version of it, limited to 1.
Later on extra deck monsters that could inifinitely bounce as well as equip searchers made burial better than reborn.
Imagine if royal magical library actually let you draw 1 for every spell instead of every 3 like he said in the video, that'd be crazy
Yoooo boss you are on a serious streak with these fire 🔥 drops
Too bad the scripts and grammar aren’t as 🔥 lately. Bro thought za warudo had 2100 ATK and DEF 🤣
@@TheGreatSalsaMan yoooo 🤣🤣🤣good catch on that
Top 10 Best Classic Continuous Traps that came before Synchros
Royal Decree, Skill Drain, Rivalry of Warlords, Royal Oppression, Call of the Haunted, Summon Limit, Ultimate Offering, Vanity's Emptiness, Anti Spell Fragrance, Imperial Order.
Cards from that era became busted so fast as the game progressed
@@DonTinkerYeah that’s true
I think horn of the unicorn is pretty bad, because it MUST be returned to the top of the deck when it’s destroyed.
This exactly
Too many cards interact with the deck for it to be a downside
@@gonzalez8juan The list is all about equips that released prior to synchros. Nowadays you have access to several deck shuffles a turn a lot of the time, but back in GOAT format during earlier formats, there wasn't a super consistent way of getting Horn to stay off of the top of your deck, even if it was close to being a relevant card nowadays XD
I love combing big bang shot with mist valley falcon cause I equip it on my opponent then use mist valley to return the card back to my hand to banish my opponent's monster.
Megamorph was actually used in two otk strategies: Cyber Stein OTK and Demise OTK:
Use advanced ritual art to send two insects from your deck to the gy to summon Demise, pay 2000 lp to clear the board, then banish those two insects for Doom Dozer and equip it with Megamorph. Your lp are lower than your opponent's thanks to demise and Doom Dozer with Megamorph + Demise reaches exactly 8k atk. The combo was good enough to get Demise limited.
Demise had a few OTK variants over the years. The Cyber Twin Dragon version got Metamorphosis banned and you could Limiter Removal it after morphing Demise and swing for absurd damage twice over or morph your Doom Dozer into it and just get the exact 8k damage from the double attacks and Demise attack. It also got Advanced Ritual Art Limited. The thing that got Demise itself Limited I believe was the Dark Strike Fighter variant in early Synchro era.
I love how 5 of these cards were staples in my Deck: Megamorph, United We Stand, Mage Power, Premature Burial, and Axe of Despair. Great times!
Let’s go baby! You’ve been on a roll holy hell.
I got some good memories about Big Bang Shot, mostly 'cause I loved to run Maha Vailo with it. Getting a 2450 ATK with Piercing was a fun time. Then again, with Maha I'd rather use either Gravity Axe to freeze my opponent's monsters' position, or the Axe of Despair itself to get a 3050 Beatstick right off the bat.
Try-oh? Howmever?
He’s doing it on purpose now right lol
I actually used the butterfly dagger + library + Girfried combo back when I was in grade school playing against friends. by adding infinite cards to the mix, I was able to create a situation where I could grind through my deck and force Exotia into my hand. One time I even did this on turn one. I got found on a lot but it was fun lol. 😅😊
I saw in a video not too long ago (I don't remember if it was Master Duel or Joey the passion) that if you mix Premature Burial with giant trunade it doesn't get "destroyed" (as the text in the card asks for), so the monster stays on the field and you can use it again.
So Big Bang shot is basically the old format's equivalent of running MST to out Mystic Mine? Some things truly never change
I had used Metalsilver Armor for at least 2 years to prevent my opponent from targetting monsters anywhere except the equipped one I control. Very strong in mikanko deck, and interesting in classic with great dezart or similar effects
One of my favorite strategies revolves around playing a decoy Sky striker deck where in reality I summon Spell Striker and attack directly after equipping it with a ton of equip spells.
Also sad Autonomous Action Unit didn’t make the list T.T
From your list, Premature Burial and Megamorph are the two most used cards by me.
5. I remember there was a monster that can gain ATK equal to the of stars each monsters, imagine how much more it will get if united we stand were to equipped it.
For a moment I was thiinking that number 9 would be that card that give the monster a boost of attack+defense
Dude! United We Stand actually SAVED me in a battle against Kaiba in Yugioh World Wide Edition 😂😂😂.
The dude had pretty much cornered me, destroyed everything I had, and all I had in my hand were Kuriboh and Multiply, and two other useless cards. I drew United, and hatched an idea. I used Kuriboh and the Multiply card, created a whole wall. Kaiba just destroyed one of them, because for some reason he didn’t bother to summon another beater, and by pure luck I drew a Monster Reborn, brought back my Dunames Dark Witch and used my United We Stand, flipped the other Kuriboh tokens, and processed to mop the floor with Kaiba after 😂😂😂.
It’s not an ideal situation, but this is THE fondest memory I have of United We Stand 😂😂😂. Since then, I learned to build my decks a little better, because holy crap do I recall struggling with most of these.
Caught a small error at 9:43. Meant to say Mage Power, but said United We Stand instead.
I should've ran a Maha Vailo and Benkei deck back then. I loved equip cards back then but wasnt too keen on deck building like i am now.
Man i remember snatch steal was the bane of my existence when i was playing the GX gba Game.
I put megamorph in my dinomorphia deck as a funny/spicy tech card. It's always funny attacking for game with a 6k+ plus with kenta
....GUARDIAN GLAMBERG?
I don't even play Yu-Gi-Oh, but I love these videos.
Let's not forget that Premature Burial and Big Bang Shot can be used alongside Giant Trunade. One of my favorite strategies in old Yu-Gi-Oh! games!
Also, Megamorph can be used on your opponent's monsters, too! Can't imagine Raid Duel events in Duel Links without it either. Such an amazing card still.
Interesting how Smoke Grenade wasn't played very much back then^^
In Duel Link with raid event,Megamorph and United We Stand is MVP
Bro really pronounced the standard english word trio as try oh 😂
Megamorph is invaluable in racking up ridiculous damage in Duel Links raid duels. You can easily get 200k+ damage in one hit when you equip Megamorph, then use the EX Skill multipliers and special monster type multiplier (based on the raid boss you're fighting.) Just make sure to equip Megamorph first.
Back then, I used to use this card with in my Bad Reaction To Simochi deck, which understandably pissed everyone off.
I used the Megamorph strategy with blue eyes ultimate dragon in old-school Yu-Gi-Oh video games for a 9000 beat stick. Could OTK on my first turn sometime if I drew black hole/Reigeki or change of heart.
The thing with Celestial Sword is that it cannot combo with Eatos' effect as the Equip Spell is a 'when' effect, and as such misses timing.
I love united we stand on my fur hire deck
-Equip BBS or Fairy Meteor crush on your opponent's monster.
-trick them into attacking your defense postion monster
-inflict the piercing damage back at them
-get ready to get beaten up.
Top 10 worst generic searchers (cards that could technically search anything) I nominate pharos treasure for number 1
I think he did this video a while back
10:05 I wasn’t surprised to see this equip card make the top 3, anybody else
I would use BBS with Evocator chevalier to double pop things all the time. Give BBS to opponent's monster, use evocator to pop a card by sending BBS to the grave banish the monster equipped to it. Would be such a better combo if Evocator wasn't a gemini
Big bang shot is incredible, technically the opponent takes that piercing damage, same as fairy meteor.
Equip to opponent, put some 0 def monsters. And wait to see their confused face
Horn of a unicorn i would say is worse, its a double edge sword being forced to return to the deck.
I loved using Ojama Tryo
it's insane, in the ygo video games, Kaiba would use the cyberstein/megamorph combo with BEUD for 9k atk. And be first or 2nd turn too lol.
Better hope you had some removal, sometimes I'd have magic cylinder or amazoness swordswoman ready as game Ai didn't factor her reflective battle damage effect.
Dinomorphia should definitely be useful with megamorph easily fits that condition xd

You know if u equip BBS to ur opponent's monster and also massivemorph, if ur oppoen isn't smart and decides to attack with that monster to ur monster the massive dmg will be dealt to him/her
3:34 and 10:10 So these weapons belong to the Guardians, who haven’t had much love in a while…
Idea to take these 2 and use them as a general blueprint for a suite of retrains for each Guardian and their weapon:
_Arms of The Guardians - Rod of Kay'est_
Equip Spell
(This card's name is always treated as “Rod of Silence - Kay'est”.)
_The equipped monster gains 500 ATK/DEF. Negate other Spell effects that target the equipped monster, and if you do, destroy that Spell. Once per turn, you can shuffle the equipped Monster into your deck, and if you do: Special Summon 1 “Kay'est” monster from your hand, deck or GY, and if you do that, equip this card to it._
_Guardian of the Waters - Kay'est_ (WATER)
Level 4
Sea Serpent/Effect
_While in your hand, face-up on the field or in the GY, this card’s name is also treated as “Guardian Kay'est”. This card is unaffected by Spell effects and cannot be targeted for attacks, but does not prevent your opponent from attacking you directly. While this card is Face-Up on the field, the field is treated as “Umi”. If this card leaves the field: Special Summon 1 “Guardian Kay'est” from your Hand, Deck or GY, ignoring it’s Summoning Conditions, and if you do, equip 1 “Rod of Silence - Kay'est” to it from your hand, deck or GY._
ATK/1000 DEF/1800
_Arms of The Guardians - Dagger of Elma_
Equip Spell
(This card's name is always treated as “Butterfly Dagger - Elma”.)
_The equipped monster gains 300 ATK/DEF. When this card is sent to the Graveyard or Banished while equipped: You can pay 600 LP, and if you do, return this card to the hand. Once per turn, you can shuffle the equipped Monster into your deck, and if you do: Special Summon 1 “Elma” monster from your hand, deck or GY, and if you do that, equip this card to it._
_Guardian of the Winds - Elma_ (WIND)
Level 3
Fairy/Effect
_While this card is in your hand, Face-Up on the field or in your GY, its name is also treated as “Guardian Elma”. If this card is Summoned, or if it destroys a monster by battle: You can Equip 1 appropriate Equip Spell from your hand, deck or GY to this card. If this card leaves the field: Special Summon 1 “Guardian Elma” from your Hand, Deck or GY, ignoring it’s Summoning Conditions, and if you do, equip 1 “Butterfly Dagger -Elma” to it from your hand, deck or GY._
10:40 Correction:
Each time a spell card is activated you place 1 spell counter onto Royal Magical Library and when you reach 3 spell counters you can discard them to draw a card.
If Royal Magical Library let you draw a card EVERY time a spell card was activated it’d be one of the most busted cards of all time.
I think we all agree that no card can beat Feral imp and Horn of the Unicorn
Do a top 10 of your top 10 videos
1:53 Howmever
megamorph can be used on opponent monsters too to halve their attack
Horn of the Unicorn's effect to return to the top of the deck is mandatory, not optional. So you CAN NOT choose.

Wow this guardian deck you speak of must be very strong to have this many top 10s huh???
Yes
I cannot believe he did not mention the Omega turbo strategy with vylons with Rod of Silence. :) i know that combo was a bit hard to pull off but… i mena it had some merits right?
Malevolent Nuzzler should have taken Horn's place. It's not mandatory and you pay LP instead of going minus.
I had a fuin idea. Putting united we stand into my Virtual World Deck (my first ever deck) and due to this card i won soo many duels cuz they did not see that coming. xD Others told me i am crazy and this card is trash but I really liked it. For manya decks it is quite easy to get 6 monster out. So I would say United We stand is Far better than Merge power wtf.
Well Royal Magical Library doesn't work exactly like that.... But we got the idea

You forgot about the only other equip spell that is banned in the modern TCG: Smoke Grenade of the Thief. Took ages to become broken but infernobles made it broken because it has a confiscation effect but the way it was used was so janky UNTIL infernobles.
you made a mistake:
Royal Magical Library needs to you cast 3 spells before drawing 1 card.
Ironically, for the Elma combo, it doesn't matter ^^
Top 10 banned cards that can be easily fixed with a hard once per turn
Wait! The double edge sword isn't fully true and you skipped that option. You could also put Megamorph on your opponents' monster if you were ahead and half the attack of something. Meaning the card does never become dead in your hand, if you are ahead, you can be weak anything powerful the enemy brings out, if you are behind double your beat sticks. -and that is why it should be, at least in spot 6 above, Axe of despair. Also because the gain even on a 1800 monster is bigger than Axe.
Top 10 cards that got banned insted of the actually problematic card/s. E.g. Bishbalkin getting banned in Master Duel instead of Transverser
Not me equipping most of these to Maha Vailo to make the ultimate beatstick
My Axe of Despair doesn’t have the creepy face. It looks cool tho.
reminder that celestial sword eatos misses timing when sent to the GY by the effect of guardian eatos. literally doesn't work with its namesake card.
That’s why Fairy Meteor Crush is much better.
1. A 400 ATK boost really isn’t that much of a boost and if it is to you, that’s a sign that your deck sucks and it’s best you start over.
2. If Fairy Meteor Crush gets destroyed, the monster at least gets to stay on the field. With Big Bang Shot, might as well say goodbye to your monster if you aren’t careful enough.
Rather be safe than sorry.
Fairy Meteor Crush is completely useless. You basically go -1 for maybe some burn damage. Big Bang Shot can at least be used to beat over stuff too, so you can still get at least some value out of it. Fairy Meteor Crush is just a waste of resources.
