Let's be honest here, a huge number of pyro type monsters are bad, so to make a list with only 10 bad cards might give some people the impression that this type isn't that bad. (There are 116 pyro type monsters overall, and 15% are normal type monsters). There is a reason why I started this countdown in the first place, and that is to raise the awarness of how bad pyro types are. Day 286 of waiting for new Volcanic support to arrive
There are 116 Pyro monsters in the game. The last pyro monster was Neo Flamvell Lady that was released in January of 2019, so we are almost ONE ENTIRE YEAR without new Pyro monsters/support.
Bulk Bogan well technically he’s not complaining, he’s just raising awareness that they need more support. His comments usually aren’t extremely negative
Helios doesn't say "your," meaning it counts all banished monsters, which includes your opponent's. Gren Maju doesn't do that. Still a bad card, but not strictly worse as you seemed to describe it.
It's supposed to work with Macro Cosmos. You get a hard to take out boss monster that starts out weak but just gets stronger and stronger as your opponent struggles to even make plays. I heard it was pretty powerful back in the day when Macro Cosmos was at 3 copies.
At least Invasion of Flames has great art. It actually has 3 counterparts that shar the same effect, stat line, and level they are Tactical Espionage Expert, Creeping Doom Manta, and Eagle Eye. Best Reptile, Rock, and Sea Serpent cards. Thunder would be cool too, but please only include 1 Thunder Dragon card if you do that type.
The Helios cards are a weird evolution. The first one is a young looking female mummy with a sun head, and duo is clearly pregnant, since the final form is three sun head baby/loli mummies... WTF
Wait.... sooo is the story behind this card that Helios got herself pregnant... and then instead of having a child, she split into three different loli and/or baby Helios’(s?) I’m probably missing a few things.... or over thinking a card in a children’s card game...
I can't complain when it's pretty obvious that Pyro is one of the least supported types, so having bad cards is to be expected. Now if Konami would give us good pyro support, on the other hand...
I feel like the equip cards that were meant to bring out the Guardian monsters (ex: Grarl, Elma, Kay'est, etc) are better than the actual monsters themselves.
Doctor Echo I agree, and that banned card is Butterfly Dagger--Elma. The only way to play Guardian Elma, if you want, is using the spell card A Wild Monster Appears! since she can't be summoned legally without the Butterfly card. Some of the archetypes of back then probably would have a chance in today's meta if they weren't so underpowered with abilities that have them linked only to specify cards that don't serve any other purpose but just FOR summoning those monsters.
@@johnbakasmoothhotchocolate I feel like if you stripped the restrictions off the various Guardian monsters, most of them would still be kinda crappy. Also, IIRC, because of the rather weird wording around Guardians, you can't actually use them with A Wild Monster Appears.
Mister Bad Guy true because some cards say that you have to have a specific card to use them, and not through cheating them out with A Wild Monster Appears. That just shows how strong some restrictions are, but I don't use guardians in my deck anyway. I feel like if the anime uses certain cards, it tells us if we don't use them, we suck then. Whatever, lol. What kind of deck do you run, my friend?
I remember Dragon Capture Jar and Dragon Piper being actually better in the anime. A shame they're trash in the actual game. Also, I'm pretty sure Elemental Hero Inferno only saw play with Manga Jaden against Alexis and her ice counter deck.
@@sdsdsa0d Also in Forbidden Memories Umi was often better than Mountain imo as it allows you to boost your highly fusable Twin Headed Thunder Dragon *WITHOUT* also boosting the endgame boss monsters, so instead of capping out with 2800's and any Black Skull Dragons and Meteor Black Dragons for 3200 and 3500, you instead can get a consistent 3200-3300 monster on the field through fusion every single turn and then upgrade further with equips.
Jaer Nihiltheus Yeah, umi worked very well as a plan B in case you didn’t got your Meteor Black Dragon on your first turn, the only problem with Twin Headed is that all the final enemies have either uranus or sun monsters, one thing I never liked about forbidden memories is how luck based it is, the only skill you need to have is to manage the guardian stars
I was able in my copy of the ds game over the nexus, after it was summond to send it back to the extra deck, and the KI synchro summoned it again, so easy 2 card mill^^
Not to mention if you use Burning Algae in synch with Dark Nurse Reficule to reverse that into burn damage, but Burning Algae doesn't need to be on the field to use its effect considering if you have more than 1 in your hand.
Some other humor about dragon piper is that it's a lvl 3 monster with under 500 attack, allowing for some synchro plays with debris dragon. Needless to say, not very good, but it's attack is actually it's better attribute.
Funny how Dragon Piper and Dragon Capture Jar's TCG effect differ from their anime effects. Since Dragon Capture Jar(as the name implies) captured Kaiba's Blue-Eyes White Dragon, then Dragon Piper took control of it. So it was essentially, 1 card to steal a monster, and another one to take control of it.
I'd argue Laval Stennon isn't really that bad. The discard effect is meant to allow you to get a laval card to the graveyard so you can use his effect easier while a card like Cannon can be used to retrieve that banished card back to go into more plays turning the disadvantage of discarding into combo potential. It's kind of contrived but that's the kind of play that the designers probably imagined when creating the card.
Disagree with Stenon's inclusion, I mean, sure you need to send a card to the GY, but laval decks revolve around the graveyard anyway. It's an effect that is technically a minus on any other archetype, but is helpful within the intended context.
In the first couple of formats of the game people were teching Dragon Capture Jar to beat the Blue Eyes White Dragon beat down decks so the beatdown decks played Dragon Piper to counter that strategy.
Dragon Piper's anime effect was way better. Given that it gave the controller of Dragon Piper the ability to steal the opponent's Dragon-type monsters. It still needed you to have Dragon Capture Jar to use it, though.
the number 10 has synergy with megamorph though. also back when Self-Destruct Button wasn't banned, that algae was highly used. set that triple upstart, and gift card just to get that 7k difference.
Dragon Piper and Capture Jar were a bit more interesting in Duelist Kingdom, where Capture Jar basically banished any Dragon type monsters on the field, whereas Piper would then destroy Capture Jar and then Pegasus would gain control of any monster that was "captured" with this effect. Truth be told, I would be really interested in seeing a retrain of these cards with effects like that, with Piper just getting the effect off of any summon or something (hell, given how popular Dragons are, it might see play as an engine to combat Dragon decks if/when they'll be top tier again). Throw in a retrain of that Illusionist Faceless Mage that Pegasus used in that first duel as well and that sounds like the basis of an interesting archetype based on some of those Duelist Kingdom cards/effects that just sorta happened, like Attack The Moon.
Please do more lore related things in the same vain as that synchro Laval monster, like do a top 10 lore one day if you can , it’s interesting to see it in your format
Laval Stennon was actually the most important card in a Laval meta deck in Duel Links, that got 5th-8th place in a tournament that is Duel Link’s equivalence to a YCS
9:06 This one could use some help… _Elemental Hero Master Heat_ (FIRE) Level 8 Pyro/Fusion/Effect “Elemental Hero Heat” + “Elemental Hero Lady Heat” _This card can be fusion summoned by returning the above cards from your hand or field to the bottom of your deck. This card gains 200 ATK/DEF for every “HERO” monster on the field or in your hand. If this card battles a WATER or DARK monster, this card gains 1000 ATK/DEF during the damage step only. During each of your End Phases: Inflict 200 damage to your opponent for each face-up "HERO" monster you control or in your hand. Once per turn: You can Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters you control as Fusion Materials, including this card._ ATK/2900 DEF/2200
5:54 I think I can fix this up a bit: _Invader Flame_ (FIRE) Level 3 Pyro/Effect _When a Spell or Trap is activated (Quick effect), you can normal or special summon this card from your hand (your choice), and if you do this cards summon cannot be negated, and cards and effects cannot be activated. This card deals piercing battle damage. When a card or effect is activated, the activating player takes 200 damage, and this card gains 200 ATK/DEF._ ATK/1300 DEF/1200
About star bow ceal. Many ppl forgot or don't know about a certain normal trap from early yugioh. Reverse trap. This trap flipped ALL ATK/DEF gains and losses for 1 turn. Meaning u equip bow and instead of losing 1k ATK u GAIN 1k attack!! Also the burning alge I used in my "misleading helping hand deck". Gimmick of deck was to use lots of effects to give my opponent LPs. After I get a certain monster and spell card I spring the trap. What is that trap? Spell card Question. Discard all cards in hand and field guess whether the top card of my deck is a monster, spell, or trap and if I guess correctly I swap my current LP with my opponent's current LP. Also lay out a few dark pendant equip cards before Question and after LP swap the 500 burn from dark pendant hits. It's definitely a heart pounding deck to play.
For the longest time I thought Laval Stennon's chest armor was its head because its actual head is pretty small compared to the rest of its body. I didn't realize this until now. Also no "love" for King Pyron? Its a level 5 Gemini which is already bad already but it has really low stats and only inflicts 1000 burn if it gets its effect. Its a disgrace to the actual Pyron of Darkstalkers fame.
in your best pyro monster video you forgot 1 of the older cards that can lock your opponent out of attacking and that's Solar Flare Dragon this card cannot be targeted for an attack if there's another pyro on the field and it has the extra burn damage of 500 so if you have 2 it becomes impossible to attack them and you deal 1K burn damage each time it's effect happens
Worse thing about Dragon Piper is that in the anime and manga it allowed you to take control of all Dragon monsters that were affected by Dragon Capture jar, so it was more of a combo piece to it. But in the TCG they made it be a counter for it which is the complete opposite.
3:34 I think I could fix this one a bit: _Union Craftsman Gamil_ (FIRE) Level 2 Pyro/effect _During either players Damage Step, when a face-up monster is attacked or being attacked; you can send this card from your hand to your GY; Equip 1 equip spell card or union monster from your hand or deck to a monster on the field._ _ATK/200 DEF/200_
Laval Stennon was great back when the Laval Quasar decks were a thing. If you could pull quasar on turn 1, you still had a boss monster. Plust Laval get effects when sent to the graveyard. Too bad the ruling change about timing and such no longer allows for it
The effect of stennon was meant to work with laval decks since those benefit from having different laval monsters in the gy, it's still pretty bad yeah but it wasnt meant as a bad effect. If the effect would have sent a laval monster from the deck we wouldn't be talking about it.
Thermal Genex has one of my favorite artworks of all time. Idk why exactly but I really like it. Reminds me of Abyss Dweller with that muted, dark vibe.
Simple solution to the megistus cards: just don't use them in their intended deck. Use them in chaos decks or just with cards like chaos sorcerer, BLS Envoy of the Beginning, Mystical Beast of Serket, Masked Hero Dark Law. Then you have a big ol beatstick that can regenerate when it's beaten by battle. You can intentionally crash into higher attack monsters so that it comes back stronger and you don't evem have to banish your own cards.
But filling your graveyard with lavals is what you want... its used to proc the effects of handmaiden and or fill up the graveyard to use lakeside lady or to gain more use from rekindling, searing fire wall, or dustflame. I dont see how Stennon would be on this list at all especially below algae or genex furnace.
man Helios deck at least mine back then is the main reasons why my opponents rage quits. Macro Cosmos and Dimensional fissures added with any stall back rank cards i.e. Gravity Bind + Burdens of the Mighty while reserving mystical space typhoon or any spell and trap cards destruction's cards in hand until the time to use it come. fill the deck with all the hand and deck destruction's cards and sometimes fields if the opponents allowing the use of cyber jar etc. none of the graveyard activation's related that most players are relied to ever resolves. heck back then some cards even stated "discard this/one card to the graveyard" or "if this card sent to the graveyard" to resolves it's effect goes null the moment my back ranks had both Macro and D. Fissures while the removed from plays trolls warrior cards the D.D guys goes kamikaze and the D.D. survivor or the raging flame sprites chipping my enemies LP until either Helios or Grand Maju goes for the kills. the face of those players that anticipating to special summons or activate effects related to the "graveyard" is unforgettable when both robbin zombie and robbin gobblin activated after the raging flame boy banish their cards while my defense pos. helios rank up it's stats. the alchemy deck.
I ran piper in my blue eyes deck in highschool. Everyone ran DCJ to try to shut me down, so I ran piper so I didn't have to waste a MST or Dust Tornado on it, plus it was good tribute fodder
Laval Stennon's negative effect is pretty clearly intended to give it fuel for its protection effect, so I wouldn't really count it as "negative." Also, Invasion of Flame is good because its art is dope.
I'm not really ok for Stennon, if you pay attention to keep a servant in your hand, you can basically ensure your GY has at least 4 Laval monsters when summoned. And you do want a lot of them in the GY at any moment
Disagree with 2 of these. Laval Stennon: That Grass Looks Greener + Laval decks. That card gains a lot of protection that way, and the discard cost isn't that big of a deal. Dragon Piper: It's a wall made in ancient times, lighten up. As far as specific counter cards go, it at least has somewhat of a use outside said counter (unlike, say the two cards that negate Monster Reborn, and do nothing else) like for example, a Backfire deck, where it also does 500 damage on destruction, or any other generic Fire decks. And before anyone says "those decks aren't good though," we're not talking Tier 0 crap, we're talking worst Pyros in the game, which I feel there's a few that deserve that more than freakin' Dragon Piper. As for who I feel is worse than dragon Piper, literally any of the Level 5 or 6 Normal Pyros, for starters, (and arguably the Level 2 Normals too, since they're pretty useless as well, unless you use them for generic Level 2 Normal decks, but even then there's much better options) Hino-Kagu-Tsuchi for being a Spirit monster with low stats whose only effect is a super specific Grand Mole effect against Sychros, Neo Flamvell Garuda (or really, any Neo Flamvells) for needing so much setup to remove 1 card in your opponents GY from play during the End Phase, Flamvell Commando for the super specific summoning requirement for minimal payoff, King Pyron for needing summoned twice for a small burn effect with pitiful stats...honestly, a Level 4 or lower 1800 wall with no restrictions doesn't even belong on the list.
For a second there I was like, "didn't you just talk about bad pyro monsters yesterday?", but then I realized that it's just the archetype being that bad haha
could you make a top 10 video of the best old ygo cards or achetypes? I feel like a lot of people are coming back to yugiho after watching the show as kids and would like to know how to play their anime favorites!
Laval Stennon really isn't bad at all. Lavals want cards in the grave, so the discard is a good effect in its own archetype, it's a decent body on the field and it has targeting protection.
Don't Laval decks want cards in the graveyard? Gamil is a pretty good hand trap for new Duel Links players because it is such a low rarity and early players benefit from ATK boost to complete early missions. Ceal gave me flashbacks to the Reverse Trap deck in Duel Links. Got on my nerves trying to up my stages and farm gate keys. Dragon Piper is right up there with cards like White Hole. Cards that existed to counter meta cards from the very early days before they were dropped out of acknowledged existence because kids could afford decent counter traps and S/T removal. It was a brief, but weird period. Every Dragon user had a copy of Dragon Piper and Remove Trap because Dragon Capture Jar could shut them down and their low DEF monsters became easy pickings. It was a brief period, but it happened. Not sure to the extent, but everyone that I knew that played a Dragon deck kept Piper just to get around Capture Jar. Meanwhile I was using Toon Summoned Skull or Ritual summoning like a cheap mini-Pegasus knockoff.
Laval Stennon isn't that bad, the discard is supposed to set up the cards protection of gou discard a laval monster, if anything it should've been number 10 on this list.
Except, Dragon Piper had the effect, in the anime, that when it hit the field it shut down all traps that target dragons and any dragons on the field when it hit the field are put under its player's control as long as it remained on the field. And Konami still does this, they take a card from the anime and dramatically alter or rewrite its effects so that it isn't what they think is too powerful during that specific era's meta. Gilta the D. Knight and Flame Swordsman were turned into fusion monster IRL, when they really didn't need to be, and when they were Normal monsters in the anime and manga. Of course, when Call of the Haunted was first shown off it was called upon, and played as, a spell card that brought all monsters sent to the Graveyard back as Zombie type monsters, GX displayed the card as its proper trap format later on. Of course, there are also Anime/Manga only cards that have yet to hit the game for whatever reason.
Genex Controller isn't a bad Tuner, although Furnace does suck. There's a lot you can do with a Dark Normal Tuner at Level 3, works with Genex Undine and has a lot of attack for a Tuner that is still low enough to use Mystic Tomato. Controller just gives a lot of support and flexibility in decks that can accommodate it. No excuses for Furnace. You're better off using Woodborg Inpachi, King Pyron, or Aitsu if you're using Genex Controller since their Attack is low enough to be searched, share Normal card support with Controller and the first one is really usable with Machine Duplication and Machina Armored Unit . It's requirements are also way too specific to warrant much use even with Blaze Fenix or either Volcannons. Ceal isn't too bad either. It can make high attack decks like Malefics hit hard and gets over their only 1 Malefic effect before the Malefic Territory gets on the field. Also it can easily be used on your opponent's card and would need to be removed by the other person's efforts so it is almost never a wasted card.
Dragon Piper is ma go too for worse anime to card game effect translation. Bc in the anime Dragon Piper actually summoned the Dragon monster to Pegasus side of the field. It was Blue Eyes n then usin Toon World it became its Toon form. At least Dragon Capture Jar was still used as a counter card even if its effect was changed as well

It's worth mentioning that Laval Stennon's "negative" effect of discarding a card can be beneficial in a Laval deck.

Dragon Piper and Capture Jar were a bit more interesting in Duelist Kingdom, where Capture Jar basically banished any Dragon type monsters on the field, whereas Piper would then destroy Capture Jar and then Pegasus would gain control of any monster that was "captured" with this effect. Truth be told, I would be really interested in seeing a retrain of these cards with effects like that, with Piper just getting the effect off of any summon or something (hell, given how popular Dragons are, it might see play as an engine to combat Dragon decks if/when they'll be top tier again). Throw in a retrain of that Illusionist Faceless Mage that Pegasus used in that first duel as well and that sounds like the basis of an interesting archetype based on some of those Duelist Kingdom cards/effects that just sorta happened, like Attack The Moon.
How viable is a "Top cards that return banished cards" or a "Top cards that lock down the GY"?
#1 for lock down GY is necrovalley. Done just saved u some time.
@@MM-lv7iy Cant argue with that, I do wonder if Macro Cosmos would count as graveyard lockdown tho.
I kind of remember dragon capture jar being rarely used to combo with DNA surgery.
i wanted to make a pyro deck, and after watching your Best pyro video and this one, im noticing i have many more from this list than the other
Please do more lore related things in the same vain as that synchro Laval monster, like do a top 10 lore one day if you can , it’s interesting to see it in your format
6:00 Explodia xD
Volcanic: *is on top 10 worst pyros*
Payne 96: *anger intensifies*
Great video as always!
Top 10 Flip Monsters (best or worst, whatever floats your boat)

Keep up the good work buddy!
Laval Stennon was actually the most important card in a Laval meta deck in Duel Links, that got 5th-8th place in a tournament that is Duel Link’s equivalence to a YCS
But thats Duel Links not actual YGO

This one could use some help…
_Elemental Hero Master Heat_ (FIRE)
Level 8
Pyro/Fusion/Effect
“Elemental Hero Heat” + “Elemental Hero Lady Heat”
_This card can be fusion summoned by returning the above cards from your hand or field to the bottom of your deck. This card gains 200 ATK/DEF for every “HERO” monster on the field or in your hand. If this card battles a WATER or DARK monster, this card gains 1000 ATK/DEF during the damage step only. During each of your End Phases: Inflict 200 damage to your opponent for each face-up "HERO" monster you control or in your hand. Once per turn: You can Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters you control as Fusion Materials, including this card._
ATK/2900 DEF/2200
5:54
I think I can fix this up a bit:
_Invader Flame_ (FIRE)
Level 3
Pyro/Effect
_When a Spell or Trap is activated (Quick effect), you can normal or special summon this card from your hand (your choice), and if you do this cards summon cannot be negated, and cards and effects cannot be activated. This card deals piercing battle damage. When a card or effect is activated, the activating player takes 200 damage, and this card gains 200 ATK/DEF._
ATK/1300 DEF/1200
About star bow ceal. Many ppl forgot or don't know about a certain normal trap from early yugioh. Reverse trap. This trap flipped ALL ATK/DEF gains and losses for 1 turn. Meaning u equip bow and instead of losing 1k ATK u GAIN 1k attack!! Also the burning alge I used in my "misleading helping hand deck". Gimmick of deck was to use lots of effects to give my opponent LPs. After I get a certain monster and spell card I spring the trap. What is that trap? Spell card Question. Discard all cards in hand and field guess whether the top card of my deck is a monster, spell, or trap and if I guess correctly I swap my current LP with my opponent's current LP. Also lay out a few dark pendant equip cards before Question and after LP swap the 500 burn from dark pendant hits. It's definitely a heart pounding deck to play.
For the longest time I thought Laval Stennon's chest armor was its head because its actual head is pretty small compared to the rest of its body. I didn't realize this until now.
Also no "love" for King Pyron? Its a level 5 Gemini which is already bad already but it has really low stats and only inflicts 1000 burn if it gets its effect. Its a disgrace to the actual Pyron of Darkstalkers fame.
How is laval stenon in this list? It is super great in laval deck. Even the "downside" is very useful in laval deck
Thats what I was thinking, but I couldn't remember of Lavals liked being in the graveyard or if that was Flamevells
Ah yes... I think it is flamvell... Thanks for the correction
They both have graveyard effects, lots of them.
in your best pyro monster video you forgot 1 of the older cards that can lock your opponent out of attacking and that's Solar Flare Dragon this card cannot be targeted for an attack if there's another pyro on the field and it has the extra burn damage of 500 so if you have 2 it becomes impossible to attack them and you deal 1K burn damage each time it's effect happens
Worse thing about Dragon Piper is that in the anime and manga it allowed you to take control of all Dragon monsters that were affected by Dragon Capture jar, so it was more of a combo piece to it. But in the TCG they made it be a counter for it which is the complete opposite.
3:34
I think I could fix this one a bit:
_Union Craftsman Gamil_ (FIRE)
Level 2
Pyro/effect
_During either players Damage Step, when a face-up monster is attacked or being attacked; you can send this card from your hand to your GY; Equip 1 equip spell card or union monster from your hand or deck to a monster on the field._
_ATK/200 DEF/200_
Laval Stennon was great back when the Laval Quasar decks were a thing. If you could pull quasar on turn 1, you still had a boss monster. Plust Laval get effects when sent to the graveyard.
Too bad the ruling change about timing and such no longer allows for it
Top 10 cards that are specific to 1 other card kinda like dragon piper
that was one of the best ways ive heard someone to ask to subscribe, i dont know why i liked it so much
lady heat is one of several e-hero fusions where it should not have a summon restriction.
To be fair, Dragon Piper is from one of the very first sets of cards released, a time when there were not a lot of ways to deal with back row.
The effect of stennon was meant to work with laval decks since those benefit from having different laval monsters in the gy, it's still pretty bad yeah but it wasnt meant as a bad effect. If the effect would have sent a laval monster from the deck we wouldn't be talking about it.
Thermal Genex has one of my favorite artworks of all time. Idk why exactly but I really like it. Reminds me of Abyss Dweller with that muted, dark vibe.
Duellogs please do top 10 artworks. Personally i love true king Master Peace artwork the most at the moment.
What a lot of people don't know about shooting star bow - ceal is that if you equip it to your opponent's monster, they can't attack you directly.
Simple solution to the megistus cards: just don't use them in their intended deck. Use them in chaos decks or just with cards like chaos sorcerer, BLS Envoy of the Beginning, Mystical Beast of Serket, Masked Hero Dark Law. Then you have a big ol beatstick that can regenerate when it's beaten by battle. You can intentionally crash into higher attack monsters so that it comes back stronger and you don't evem have to banish your own cards.
I was waiting for this after i saw the best list :3
I think the whole guardian line was meant to benefit from butterfly dagger, but that got banned for magic library and gearfred combo
The funny thing about Macro Cosmos is that Solemn Warning can negate it even if you don't have Helios in your deck.
Duel links is basically speed duel but it duel links speed duels its a 5Ds thing and its cool
The moment you realize that Dragon Capture Jar is technically the very first floodgate in the TCG, maybe the OCG too.
But filling your graveyard with lavals is what you want... its used to proc the effects of handmaiden and or fill up the graveyard to use lakeside lady or to gain more use from rekindling, searing fire wall, or dustflame. I dont see how Stennon would be on this list at all especially below algae or genex furnace.
My brother used to destroy people with his Pyro deck with the Fire Princess and the Bassball Boy
man
Helios deck at least mine back then is the main reasons why my opponents rage quits.
Macro Cosmos and Dimensional fissures added with any stall back rank cards i.e. Gravity Bind + Burdens of the Mighty while reserving mystical space typhoon or any spell and trap cards destruction's cards in hand until the time to use it come.
fill the deck with all the hand and deck destruction's cards and sometimes fields if the opponents allowing the use of cyber jar etc.
none of the graveyard activation's related that most players are relied to ever resolves.
heck back then some cards even stated "discard this/one card to the graveyard" or "if this card sent to the graveyard" to resolves it's effect goes null the moment my back ranks had both Macro and D. Fissures while the removed from plays trolls warrior cards the D.D guys goes kamikaze and the D.D. survivor or the raging flame sprites chipping my enemies LP until either Helios or Grand Maju goes for the kills.
the face of those players that anticipating to special summons or activate effects related to the "graveyard" is unforgettable when both robbin zombie and robbin gobblin activated after the raging flame boy banish their cards while my defense pos. helios rank up it's stats.
the alchemy deck.
I ran piper in my blue eyes deck in highschool. Everyone ran DCJ to try to shut me down, so I ran piper so I didn't have to waste a MST or Dust Tornado on it, plus it was good tribute fodder
I wish Piper had its anime effect to steal the opponents dragons
You should do a list of the best fusion summoning cards.
PLZ DO TOP 10 LORE BACKSTORIES
Laval Stennon's negative effect is pretty clearly intended to give it fuel for its protection effect, so I wouldn't really count it as "negative."
Also, Invasion of Flame is good because its art is dope.
I'm not really ok for Stennon, if you pay attention to keep a servant in your hand, you can basically ensure your GY has at least 4 Laval monsters when summoned. And you do want a lot of them in the GY at any moment
Disagree with 2 of these.
Laval Stennon: That Grass Looks Greener + Laval decks. That card gains a lot of protection that way, and the discard cost isn't that big of a deal.
Dragon Piper: It's a wall made in ancient times, lighten up. As far as specific counter cards go, it at least has somewhat of a use outside said counter (unlike, say the two cards that negate Monster Reborn, and do nothing else) like for example, a Backfire deck, where it also does 500 damage on destruction, or any other generic Fire decks. And before anyone says "those decks aren't good though," we're not talking Tier 0 crap, we're talking worst Pyros in the game, which I feel there's a few that deserve that more than freakin' Dragon Piper.
As for who I feel is worse than dragon Piper, literally any of the Level 5 or 6 Normal Pyros, for starters, (and arguably the Level 2 Normals too, since they're pretty useless as well, unless you use them for generic Level 2 Normal decks, but even then there's much better options) Hino-Kagu-Tsuchi for being a Spirit monster with low stats whose only effect is a super specific Grand Mole effect against Sychros, Neo Flamvell Garuda (or really, any Neo Flamvells) for needing so much setup to remove 1 card in your opponents GY from play during the End Phase, Flamvell Commando for the super specific summoning requirement for minimal payoff, King Pyron for needing summoned twice for a small burn effect with pitiful stats...honestly, a Level 4 or lower 1800 wall with no restrictions doesn't even belong on the list.
The Burning Algae artwork is so cool, I wish that the card was good
For a second there I was like, "didn't you just talk about bad pyro monsters yesterday?", but then I realized that it's just the archetype being that bad haha
invasion of flames has pretty sick artwork. That's a positive, imagine if it were an 1800-1900 vanilla beater? What would its flavor text be?
There are a few other cards with almost the same artwork and I think one of them is a spirit monster
could you make a top 10 video of the best old ygo cards or achetypes? I feel like a lot of people are coming back to yugiho after watching the show as kids and would like to know how to play their anime favorites!
top 10 worst Aqua monsters would be interesting
Laval Stennon really isn't bad at all. Lavals want cards in the grave, so the discard is a good effect in its own archetype, it's a decent body on the field and it has targeting protection.
Don't Laval decks want cards in the graveyard?
Gamil is a pretty good hand trap for new Duel Links players because it is such a low rarity and early players benefit from ATK boost to complete early missions.
Ceal gave me flashbacks to the Reverse Trap deck in Duel Links. Got on my nerves trying to up my stages and farm gate keys.
Dragon Piper is right up there with cards like White Hole. Cards that existed to counter meta cards from the very early days before they were dropped out of acknowledged existence because kids could afford decent counter traps and S/T removal. It was a brief, but weird period. Every Dragon user had a copy of Dragon Piper and Remove Trap because Dragon Capture Jar could shut them down and their low DEF monsters became easy pickings. It was a brief period, but it happened. Not sure to the extent, but everyone that I knew that played a Dragon deck kept Piper just to get around Capture Jar. Meanwhile I was using Toon Summoned Skull or Ritual summoning like a cheap mini-Pegasus knockoff.
bad reaction to simochi decks: you wanna heal? well guess what? you can't have it.
Top 10 Best Anti-Meta cards throughout Yu-Gi-Oh!'s history
Skill Drain? Royal Oppression? Dimensional Fissure/Macro Cosmos? All so good they're on the ban list in some position.
Laval Stennon isn't that bad, the discard is supposed to set up the cards protection of gou discard a laval monster, if anything it should've been number 10 on this list.
Ey!! I love my Burning Algae, freaking awesome cause opp doesn't expect it and with simochi, 1000burn
I forgot Dragon Piper was a pyro type.
I always expect videos about the best cards of each types more than the worst cards.
Except, Dragon Piper had the effect, in the anime, that when it hit the field it shut down all traps that target dragons and any dragons on the field when it hit the field are put under its player's control as long as it remained on the field. And Konami still does this, they take a card from the anime and dramatically alter or rewrite its effects so that it isn't what they think is too powerful during that specific era's meta. Gilta the D. Knight and Flame Swordsman were turned into fusion monster IRL, when they really didn't need to be, and when they were Normal monsters in the anime and manga. Of course, when Call of the Haunted was first shown off it was called upon, and played as, a spell card that brought all monsters sent to the Graveyard back as Zombie type monsters, GX displayed the card as its proper trap format later on. Of course, there are also Anime/Manga only cards that have yet to hit the game for whatever reason.
Pretty sure stennon discards in order to dump the lavals that you want in the GY. Pretty crappy way to do it, but it has a point
*HE IS A LITTLE CONFUSED BUT GOT THE SPIRIT*
Top 10 spellcasters please, my favourite cards
Genuinely surprised none of the Flamvell cards made it on here
Im suprised at the lack of flamvell on this list and laval cards on the other list
Genex Controller isn't a bad Tuner, although Furnace does suck. There's a lot you can do with a Dark Normal Tuner at Level 3, works with Genex Undine and has a lot of attack for a Tuner that is still low enough to use Mystic Tomato. Controller just gives a lot of support and flexibility in decks that can accommodate it.
No excuses for Furnace. You're better off using Woodborg Inpachi, King Pyron, or Aitsu if you're using Genex Controller since their Attack is low enough to be searched, share Normal card support with Controller and the first one is really usable with Machine Duplication and Machina Armored Unit . It's requirements are also way too specific to warrant much use even with Blaze Fenix or either Volcannons.
Ceal isn't too bad either. It can make high attack decks like Malefics hit hard and gets over their only 1 Malefic effect before the Malefic Territory gets on the field. Also it can easily be used on your opponent's card and would need to be removed by the other person's efforts so it is almost never a wasted card.
This man running out of good ideas instead of just doing Top 10 Omni-Negates. Which includes Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Abyss!
Dragon Piper is ma go too for worse anime to card game effect translation. Bc in the anime Dragon Piper actually summoned the Dragon monster to Pegasus side of the field. It was Blue Eyes n then usin Toon World it became its Toon form. At least Dragon Capture Jar was still used as a counter card even if its effect was changed as well
