Idk. People have tested what these cards could do in link format. I don't think it's any worse than the meta we have now. Besides... things like dark synchros, brilliant plant link SPAM, have done worse "degenerative plays" than this deck could ever do in link format. It just doesn't make sense to have a deck like this not go when we have handtraps, solems, untargetable effects to deal with it now. I say let them all come back at three to test the waters. Along with construct and inzectors. They just wont do ANYTHING
dzeeff Can you do a yugioh explained on Crystrons? I feel that too many people sleep on the deck . However, not only did it get the new link, the deck isn't really affected by links and has a lot of disruption.
nah put all Dragon Rulers to three. also monkeyboard, damage juggler, and plush fire to three. they can also return yata-garasu and graceful charity; wind-up hunter and shark, evigishki gustkraken, cold wave and snatch steal, etc. let the world burn.
yeah that's correct. Evigishki Gustkraken was limited before it was even ported to the TCG that's why only a few remembers it. but in case you didn't know, its loop is to return all the opponents hand cards to their deck first turn. mind augus also reset the graveyard by spamming it multiple times in a turn. and the combo is very consistent because Preparation of Rites is at three and Gishki have two to three searchers on its archetype.
You aren't wrong but man did I like playing against them. They were so unfair it went full circle back to being fun. Duels against Dragon Ruler felt like I was fighting an RPG final boss that keeps changing forms.
Rain Forest Whitaker I remember one of the most tense games I ever had, playing against Dragon Rulers in their prime with my Worm deck. It was neck and neck the whole time, and had I not made the wrong move and let them open up I might've won. One of my favorite battles just because I was keeping toe-to-toe against a T-1/0 deck with worms.
Dragon Ruler was probably the fairest T0 Deck of all time. They didnt Stop you from playing or ftk you, like typical T0. They we're just insane Powerfull. You had a small Chance of winning. And when you pull it off without Spellbook or The Anti high lv Deck you felled like you are Yugi himself. I did trolled tryhard/Scrubs Dragon Ruler Player in DN Back then with a Rank 5 Anti Ruler (without Vanity) Deck. Basically i just did make Volcasaurus into gaia for ca 5000 DMG. The Rest of the Duel i did 3000 DMG and survive xD Worked every time. But looking into they GY and hand and misplays i know a good Player would crushed me.
Expectation: Dragon Rulers coming back would just be another linkspam.dek, they have been powercreeped enough to be let free again Reality: 1 Tempest was enough to generate 3 different ways to FTK you consistently in today's meta.
I remember playing against Dragon Rulers. My opponent would start the turn with 5 cards in hand, and they would play a crapload of cards to search, then summon Dracossack. At the end of their turn, they have 6 cards in hand despite the fact they summoned a level 7 Xyz. It was just messed up how they got so many random pluses all the time so that they never ran out of material. I played a Zombie deck back then that could keep up with Dragon Rulers in terms of sheer tempo, but when I summoned my Xyz monsters it actually cost me cards, so I would inevitably lose after a few turns because the Dragon Ruler player still had 5 or 6 cards in hand while I was just top decking.
Man eater bug used to be an incredible card to deal with monsters. Now... monsters has like 3-4 effects. Thats why nostalgic favorites arent that much played anymore. Imagine dark magician has an effect like, discard 1 spellcaster on your hand to special summon this card. Once per turn, you can select 3 normal spell cards from your deck to your hand and let thr opponent pick one that would go to your hand. Put the rest into your graveyard. If this card on the field is sent to the graveyard, you can banish this and one spellcaster monster on your hand to special summon dark magician girl from your deck. This is how ridiculous monster effects are right now.
ROTD-JP043 Konton Maryu Chaos Ruler (Chaos Ruler the Chaotic Demonic Dragon) Level 8 DARK Dragon Synchro Effect Monster ATK 3000 DEF 2500 Materials: 1 Tuner + 1+ non-Tuner monsters You can only use the (1) and (2) effects of this card’s name each once per turn. (1) If this card is Synchro Summoned: You can excavate the top 5 cards of your Deck, and if you do, add excavated 1 LIGHT or DARK monster to your hand, also send the remaining cards to the GY. (2) You can banish 1 LIGHT and 1 DARK monster from your hand and/or GY; Special Summon this card from the GY, but it is banished if it leaves the field.
Infernities honestly scarred me the most, I never wanna see that deck ever again because I could go get a pizza eat the whole thing and my opponent's turn STILL wasn't over! Kinda like Spyral but for some reason ALL infernity players were good..
It was because as long as you had no cards in your hand and copied a good infernity deck the deck played itself noobs don't build up hands when they get a good field so it's perfect for them
@@michaelfox5281 to say Infernity is for noobs... gotta have some balls to say that. It's no Nekroz or Six Sams. But Jesus... easy? A deck which requires you to have no cards? Just because people know how to deckbuild and use it and it's broken, it's easy. Bollocks, dude!
Yeaaaa, but after seeing the lone Dragon Ruler being part of the infamous Gandora FTK in the OCG, doesn’t look like they should bring any more back- or at all period to the TCG
I have no idea how to enforce this, but what if you were only allowed one Dragon Ruler? An F.A. deck could play Tempest and go against a Fire King deck with Blaster. I’d like that.
My idea was to rotate them so that only one Dragon Ruler would be legal at a time. So first Mermail gets Tidal back for three months, then Tidal is rebanned and Harpies can use Tempest, and so on. So the Ruler deck will never be a thing, but they will come back every once in a while.
Yu-GI-Oh has become pretty ridiculous in the last 2 or 3 years... PePe decks were such a fuck up on Konami's end. The newer deck completely bury anything else b4 them, like Nekroz, Shaddolls, PePe, and even Burning Abyss. The SPYRAL decks are even worse tbh.
I think a lot of people want these decks back because they used to get destroyed by those decks, so having access to them now for cheaper is a satisfying feeling.
COUNTERPOINTS: 1. OMEGA - the thing about Omega is that there is an easy way to counter it. Ghost reaper. Most decks are siding ghost reaper anyway, so its not like you would changing people's strategy very much. 2. NEW DRAGON SUPPORT - ok I gotta admit dragon rulers with return of the dragon lords would be broke as fuck. And we have 3 ravine. And 3 debris. And glow up bulb. This is actually a really good point. I can't argue with it. 3. BFTDD - Pot of acquisitiveness is better. You get to recycle the dragons and draw a card. And it's not like getting them back in the grave would be hard with a blue-eyes engine and dark matter dragon. I love the dragon rulers. I hated when they were tier 0. But I loved playing with them in other dragon decks right until they got banned. Hieratic rulers was tons of fun. So was lightsworn rulers. I wish there was a way they could come back. I really do. But they can't. They are just too God damned broken.
*is the guy in the corner who wants to watch konami just completly remove the banlist/limitedlist/semi-limitedlist completly for a format, just to see what would happen. *
MAKYURA EXODIA FTK 100% DECK YES. then it's basically gambling who goes 1st lmao if you banned the ftk builds, I would imagine nekroz/dragon ruler/pepe format(but Pepe got bashed by the new link mechanic)
Exodia would be scary but people are going to side Ash Blossoms and Droll&Lock to stop Exodia game 2 and 3 so other powerful decks are going to otk it a lot too.
I liked Dragon Rulers when used as elemental support... And that was about it. Lmao! Even though I "miss" Redox, Dragon Ruler of Boulders in my Plant Princess deck, it IS what it is. Things have changed so much over the years... And so has our expanded card pool.
NightClubSamurai watch lithium2300 and look up pepe duels on cardguyz and patrick hobans pepe magician deck heres some quick links ua-cam.com/video/z8tyKZklAZI/v-deo.html lithium pepe review with shock master ua-cam.com/video/HRvqWf342mc/v-deo.html 19k sub spec pepe vs rejuv rulers crossbanlist ua-cam.com/video/iFvmnGQ9Z60/v-deo.html 20k sub spec dracopals vs rejuv rulers crossbanlist ua-cam.com/video/OCyXel8e-D0/v-deo.html pepe vs zoo B05 crossbanlist it was basically a mini deck called clownblade that spammed rank 4s, but than pendulum support came out and the performage engine became really good and there were cards that started the engine easily (brilliant fusion summon seraphinite, foolish, wavering eyes, etc.) and generic pendulum support like luster etc. and generic xyz support like norden and instant fusion. the engine consisted of performages, performpals, magicians, and generic support. it had about 4 variants, its first was clownblade which upgraded to pepe than got support and was at its ultimate fullpower just as breakers of shadow was released until the emergency banlist dropped hitting previous cards. the deck than became dracopals and revolved around performapals and dracos. than the deck was hit multiple times creating multiple variants like dark draco pals and oddeyes dracopals till cards were again fully hit. then magician support was made and now we have magician pendulum. it was able to make the best possible boards the game has ever seen while gaining advantage and being the most consistent and most fastest deck the game has seen. ocg still had shockmaster and had exclusive called azzathoth while this deck was out, you were able to use lvl 4s and get out ptolemaus and that got out pleiades or infinity or tellar diamond and in ocg azzathoth too or even durendal which you can combo with droll to make your opponent lose their hand. because the deck was so amazing and everyone played it, there was a popular combo for the mirror match which was mained and you could make king of the feral imps searching xsaber palumoru and use that and an earth to get out naturia beast. you could pendulum summon, get 2 normals, search special summons, pop and special cards while also adding, you could xyz, synchro and fusion, you could negate, you could take cards, you could bounce, you could have multiple lockdown cards, you had nontargetable removal, you could reduce dmg taken, you could take away your opponents hand, you could banish or shuffle, you could burn your opponent, you could search trap holes and counter traps, almost everything floated and you could otk easily etc. you could do everything.
NightClubSamurai lel zoodiac and dragon rulers and nekroz are shit compared to pepe especially drulers and zoodiacs nekroz has a chance of winning but the rest is shit
I don't know if it is only nostalgia but Ruler format was my favorite format of all time. God I hated the Rulers bad the spellbooks, but I had so much fun playing the game in that format...
if there's one card I want back, it's Stratos. but ONLY at 1. JUST. ONE. I think he's gotten old enough that his effect can't be made to be too degenerate. it's not like Metamorphosis or Change of Heart, which are just....eugh.
All of the dragon rulers, except for maybe redox, can go to 1. Earth attribute has become to powerful over the last couple of formats. Just ban galaxy tomahawk, and dark matter dragon, and they'll be fine. Master rule 4 made tomahawk broke so its was going to happen eventually anyways. Blue eyes, and mythic rulers can come back into the spotlight, and I don't think they'll be as dominate as spyral, or as consistent as magicians. The cards mentioned in this video are already abused to hell in lightsworn, zombies, and infernoid, so it wont make much of a difference.
Well ... Tomahawk is banned, so that makes a good case for them coming back so they aren't broken in half like they used to be, but I wouldn't mind seeing a full power Dragon Ruler deck against Altergeists
@@SkyllerSY i find it funny how people think ruler got powercreppt in realyity they got broken crept i know weird wording they just got even more powerfull as time goes one remember ruler scale with dragon level 7 support and support of 4 of the 6 elements that is just unbelivable powerfull
I'd like to see konami do something creative with rulers, like limiting one each banlist while re-banning the one that they limited the previous banlist or something like that; that may require them to limit/ban dark matter dragon though
Unkraut 777 guard dragons will eventually take themselves out via the ban list. When elpy gets banned then you won’t have to worry about Drulers making GD op.
Honestly the fact that Dragon Rulers were an extremely flexible deck is what made them fun to play. They had different strategies versus the mirror, versus Spellbooks, vs Evilswarm, vs various rogue decks etc. That can't be said for a lot of decks nowadays which seem to be focused on pushing to a game-winning monster or board (SPYRAL Sleeper, Timestar Magician, Droll and Reincarnation combo...). I want them to come back simply because I feel they would be more fun...Except for maybe Tomohawk. That I can be concerned about.
I think it would be really interesting to see how all the old meta decks would compete with the newer ones. And considering that a lot of old arche types are pretty much useless i think it's a huge waste. That doesn't mean that you have to allow all the old cards again. I'm sure there is a way to keep everything balanced
Why I want to see Dragon Rulers back at 1; to see what they can actually do in the current game, they are also fun to play in my personal opinion, we have seen plenty of cards and decks that surpass the Dragon Rulers in terms of power and we have decks that can compete with them and I don't expect them to be as dominating as they were during their time, also there are more viable counters to Dragon Rulers. I also want to add that I also want to see Shurit, Stratos, Construct and Towers off the banlist together with the Rulers.
I agree with pretty much all your points here. But I will say that that was probably my favorite format. I'm a little biased because Spellbooks were my first competitive deck and I've been playing since Summoned Skull was meta. But also because to my knowledge this was the only time in Yugioh that there were two tier 0 decks. Which I know is awful if you're not playing either of those decks, but really cool if you're playing one against the other.
I really liked Dragon Rulers in decks that aren't dragon Rulers. I used to play 3 tidal in Frog monarchs back in the day to either summon a beater to punch face or send treeborn to grave. It was a really nice card with a lot of elemental synergy. If there was a complex ban on them allowing only one attribute of D-ruler to be in a deck at a time, they could likely be at 3 at it wouldn't be that big a deal.
Played during the Dragon Ruler era. I would like to see them all at least to one. I've always liked piloting dragon decks in general (blueyes/redeyes/oddeyes/chaosdragons) and dragon rulers were just always so fun to play with. That's what i liked about them, that they were fun.
A year later and we got Omega to 1, Snow banned, and Tempest back to 1. I believe that once the Guardragon package is taken out, that all the Dragon Rulers could possibly return to 1.
@@duMaurier15 dunno if you ever got an answer but demonetization means that this video is being tagged by someone who claims it uses their stuff without fair use, which isn't true but hey, who cares about fairness anymore, and because the video gets automatically flagged by Konami, they get to decide who gets any money from ads run on the video, or they can prevent any ads from running. Either way, the actual creator doesn't see a dime.
Most of the ppl, (like me) don't want those meta decks back to full power but the idea of a zoodiac vs nekroz match or dragon rulers vs shaddolls really appeals to me :)
well my theory on why they want old meta decks off the ban list is because they want something to counteract the meta that they now hate. i'm actually questioning why is it that whenever there are cards that support certain attribute(specifically monsters) that there are none for dark's or light's like the dragon rulers.
Because Dark and Light already have the best support. Earth too. Poor Wind, Water, and Fire...basically Infernoid, Mermail, and Harpies are the only decks.
I just really like the idea of older decks coming back to full power to shake up the meta and create more diverse formats. That being said, I think Dragon Rulers aren't old enough to come back yet. Wind-Ups and Inzektors should absolutely come back as fun and powerful tier 2 options.
Number 95 and the limited to 1 Dragon rulers were legal for one event only, and that event was the Maryland regional, I attended that regional where a lot of players scrambled to get the deck prior to the event. I only played against 1, and I can’t remember the outcome, but I know the deck was good. Thank Komoney for not hitting it faster :)
I believe that the rulers can come back with an errata that changes the summoning condition to banishing 2 non-dragon type monsters of the same attribute as the ruler. That would allow them to be used by different decks of the same attribute without being abused by dragon type decks.
PrinceXL The thing about true draco is that against Pretty much any good deck before it cant out masterpeace. Nekroz Can do it But Its a bit hard because u have to bait The pop rulers Can do it with The level 4 synchro that equips itself (cant remember name) and even then they have to bait The pop (dont know if books or pepe Can out it)
I very much agree with you on your points, I think people are looking back with too much fondness at those old formats and forgetting how much they bitched about those decks when they were relevant. I was playing most from 2009-2015 and I remember all those decks and how frustrating it was to try and play a control deck against dragon rulers. Though at the same time I never really had too many problems dealing with Inzektors or Wind ups. I think the only deck I truly miss was Chaos Dragons. That was one hell of a deck.
Here’s the difference. When you’re dueling against Dragun of Red Eyes, if your deck doesn’t have a splashable non negatable out for a non target non destruction removal, you have to scoop. When you’re dueling dragon rulers you don’t have to scoop. You just duel and try to out play them with resources and strategy. Skill is gone from Yu-Gi-Oh.
Well when we got the Dragonbane Archetype in particular Buster Blader The Dragon Destroyer Swordsman who negates all Dragon effects people thought the Rulers could come off since there was now a hard counter deck for it but with Link format that deck isn't viable at the moment so yeah let's keep them on the list for now.
Dragon rulers could easily come back; just limit their summoning conditions to their own attributes. No more banishing dragons; you can only special summon them by banishing 2 cards of their own attributes (fire for blaster, water for tidal, earth for boulder.). That way even if you try to build dragon rulers you have to have a bunch of random monsters.
That's pretty much what I've been saying. The Dragon Rulers were meant to be good support cards for Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind decks, so errata them by removing the "Dragon-type" part on all of them, babies and daddies, and you're good to go. No more broken plays.
Aquaria infernoids feeds off of the fire one they can easily abuse its effect- more or so in the hand discard it and any fire type just to pop any card on the field
That would ruined half of their purpose/thing honestly.. They are meant to work with not just elements but DRAGONS as well.. If they limited to 1, I wonder how much could be done.. Wished an actual graveyard dragon deck had a way to work
here's an idea for an errata for dragon rulers. When this card is summoned or sent to the GY: banish all "Dragon Ruler" monsters with different attributes from your hand, deck, field, or GY, face-down. This will prevent dragon rulers from working together.
Well, that was a nice analyse. Honestly, only reason they can't come back is because they re too fucking generic. For example, think about redox in spyral
I love the hell out of your channel. You have common sense and talk about a card game that got me into nerdy stuff and made me most of the friends I have. I dont think I'll ever come back to yugioh, but I like to hear about it.
What they need is an errata which restricts their effects: can only be special summoned from the hand, if they’re banished they can’t search themselves.
CosmicKitten10 It probably does have the best chance of coming back next compared to the rest of the lot. I’ve mostly seen people talk about how Redox and Blaster are the most abuseable in the modern game, but more sparse arguments against Tidal
I'm revisiting this video since Tempest was recently put to 1 in the OCG, and it's already causing problems generating FTKs with Firewall Dragon. They aren't too powerful on their own in today's meta, but due to how powerful other cards are, they elevate the power level of Dragon Rulers as a Link engine and an FTK engine even further, meaning they absolutely are too much for the game. They still can't come back, it's truly amazing how powerful they are.
Homura Akemi I'll settle for stormforth back to 3. I just wanna be able to play tribute summon decks again. My earthbound immortal deck wasn't great but it was viable then... ;_;
Oh, you just mentioned the Inzektor/Dino/Windup format and a ton of nostalgia hit me because of my old WindUp rogue deck. It was fun because I didn't use the Hunter strategy. I just liked to flood the field with 3 carriers :p
My favorite plays in the game i still remember was at a highly competitive locals(patrick hobans locals) playing evilswarms and i went to game 3 against a 100% dragon ruler deck by means photon papilloperative into a draccosack token. I still remember the look on his face and realization that he lost. 😂
As someone who has loved mermails since day 1 (mostly because of their synergy with frogs, my favourite archetype of all time) i just want to say that I get very excited if people top events with mermail decks :D
I stopped playing Yu Gi Oh because how badly balanced it is. They always make gigantic powercreeps and then ban them. It's absurd how many cards are banned so fast.
Late reply but i really dgaf. Most of the time its because of unseen abuse potential just like super rejuvenation with the dragon rulers, when super rejuvenation came out in 2005 or so it was a rather bad/mediocre card but everything changed when the -fire nation attacked- dragon rulers came by, another example is morphing jar #2 (and another miller card) and all-out attack, and many other combinations of old cards with new cards, i think it is too hard to keep track of all the damn cards that are created, but yeah there is also some other cards are created just to be almost instantly banned.
I think what made dragon rulers effective was the trap line-up of the format, you generally never saw huge backrow and occasionally ran into the solemn brigade + breakthrough + mirror/torrential, rulers took advantage of that cause no matter if they were destroyed, they were still usable.
Now I know why this video got demonitised, you're spreading false news, Return of the Dragon Lords came in the Rise of the True Dragon Lords structure deck a.k.a. the second Felgrand structure deck and is not a Blue-Eyes card although Blue-Eyes can make the best use out of it.
Can someone explain to me why these are so good? Last time I played synchros were new lmao Recently started getting into things but I don't know what combos these can pull off
Journey of the Soul yeah, and Gold Sarcophagus triggered their effects immediately, they had indirect support with sacred sword. I've seen Skull Lair do work in D Rulers.
Huh interesting, I'll look into Lithium later. They sound kinda interesting actually, I play with a friend with no banlist online so I might throw something together
1) we didnt hate the deck we hated it proce tag. 2) e dragons were playing with 6 card hands 5 cards slows it down 3) yue deck will get heavily stuned by hand traps
Jory Porteous erratas would ruin them. i agree its far fetched, i never see erratas as a choice because it pushes people away from playing those cards ever again which is unfair.
And errats pretty much ruins the legacy of a card Look at Crush Card Virus, it was practically defiled and ruined honestly Your opponent should have the CHOICE to kill up to 3 of their monsters from their decks since it could pretty much backfire Should have been the USER'S choice to do that honestly
they should just make newer versions, like with pot of duality as the new see 3 cards opposed to graceful and with dichotomy and jar of ava for pot of ava. even things like jar of greed, reckless greed, and desires are new versions of pot of greed without nerfing the card. they shoulda just made a new virus card and things like new sangan and witch, they made gouki lol. as said above by minicooper, true kings are new rulers (even though they are very inconsistent and got very close to completely useless, they already took a big hit with lithos gone)
I think one of the cards that everyone about with dragon rulers is eclipse wyvern. Lightsowrn rulers were a solid deck. And I think the dark matter OTK would be enabled in we had any D ruler back with eclipse wyvern.
I say do an errata where the Dragon Rulers and their babies don’t work with Dragons and just make them generic support for attributes. Of course leave the part where they can only search a Dragon of their Attribute and not just any monster of that Attribute, cause that would be bonkers. I feel people argue that certain cards should come back for certain decks because now-a-days they seem more healthy and balanced compared to what we have now. The Dragon Rulers in their current iteration should not return.
I built a Dark Paladin turbo deck specifically designed to counter Dragon Rulers. Why yes, you can make your plays. However, when you are staring down a monster that has greater base stats and grows bigger as you make your plays and is resistant to board wipes it is not my fault when you decide to flip the table.
"Let's take out one of the only things making Synchro decks playable right now so we can have these ridiculously powerful monsters that can spam out Links via Galaxy Tomahawk along with other power plays." Yeah, okay pal.
Cory in the House that sounds like a great idea But Its not like They Can lock u out of the extradeck by sending arkbrave dragon and amorphage goliath to The grave of Dark matter dragon oh wait they now have a walking vanities emptiness👌👌👌
At the time Dragon Rulers we’re out, I stomped them out with a Macro Dark Dust deck. It basically used D.D.s with Dark Dust Spirit and created a floodgate with macro and d fissure. Field nuke and banish every turn with no loss of materials
I honestly feel like there are enough play disruption in the game now that each Dragon Ruler to one would not be broken but simply balance. Granted you can play Omega, but people can Strike it, Ghost Ash it, or even use that PK trap. Just saying, granted in the past few years since that format they were still considered broken but the game has evolved since that time
So basically ppl feel cards should be banned because you cant handle them instead of making a strategy to stop them which to me is why i loved yugioh.....
Some cards are busted and deserve to be banned but most of the cards on the ban list should come back especially cards of old archetypes because the new archetypes are more broken
Ok but imagine for the anime if the villains were 4 people who each used a different Dragon Ruler as their deck thing and they were quadruplets or something. Then if they all want to battle someone they each take 10 cards from their own deck and slap them together.
I remember seeing these cards on the banlist not too long ago and the art design really caught my attention. All 4 boss monsters have fantastic art work.
I hate this attitude. You should take most things off the ban list because if you did there would be a load of decks competing. To be honest no one really knows what's broken or what's not broken because they haven't seen any of the old meta decks competing in today's game. If you release most of the ban list you could observe what's too good and ban accordingly. The fact of the matter is the reason that there are tier 0 formats is because decks that would compete against them are banned. This also suits konami because they get more money for the new broken decks that come out. The truth is sure there is more support for drulers nowadays but there is also plenty of ways to shut them down. So here's my proposal release most of the ban list bar generic cards like pot of greed graceful charity monster reborn etc and see what that meta is like. Plus link format would slow the rulers down too.
paddyd50 gamer if there was no banlist, dragon rulers wouldn’t be tier 0, it would be a exodia ftk turn one wins 100% of the time format. They would then move from banning them to the top deck until we’re at where we are now. Banned cards tend to have a reason behind it.
@@zachcondel7116 not really. The exodia FTK you are right about and that should never happen. Some generic cards like Pot of Greed should stay banned. But there are decks that are not played anymore simple becauze of the banlist and if they come back it would be more competitive. Dragon Rulers in link format would not even be tier 1 now so why keep them banned? Even spell book of judgement should come back and infernity cards should go back to 3. The new archetypes are way more powerful than the old ones so there is no reason to ban cards in the first place , just add more cards. But then again its for money
@@omarshakir8727 Were you around for Dragon Rulers? Dragon Rulers can still abuse link mechanic and just spam different and newer extra deck cards. Dragon rulers in their prime with support from a lot of cards released after they got hit would be fairly strong. Dragon Rulers have not been power creeped as much as you think. The deck was far too versatile for its own good.
I think that something a lot of people forget about dragon rulers when they say they should come back, is that rulers are more than just a standalone deck, they are also an engine... an extremely powerful and extremely splashable engine.
I know that Return of the Dragon Lords came out in the newer Felgrand deck, I don't know why I said Blue-Eyes. I guess I just associate that Structure with the rise of Blue-Eyes because of how important that card was to the strategy. My b
Understandable
Idk. People have tested what these cards could do in link format. I don't think it's any worse than the meta we have now. Besides... things like dark synchros, brilliant plant link SPAM, have done worse "degenerative plays" than this deck could ever do in link format. It just doesn't make sense to have a deck like this not go when we have handtraps, solems, untargetable effects to deal with it now. I say let them all come back at three to test the waters. Along with construct and inzectors. They just wont do ANYTHING
dzeeff Can you do a yugioh explained on Crystrons? I feel that too many people sleep on the deck . However, not only did it get the new link, the deck isn't really affected by links and has a lot of disruption.
WHY DON'T YOU STAY BANNED INSTEAD?
dzeeff you should make a video on Alien/Cthulhu deck.
Why dragons ruler should be unban
1. Cool arts
2. That's it
Haha you made my day
Seriously they do have awesome art
0uryuken true
lmao “spellbook of judgment” was complete tyranny
I never got to play with them. I just want a chance!
nah put all Dragon Rulers to three. also monkeyboard, damage juggler, and plush fire to three. they can also return yata-garasu and graceful charity; wind-up hunter and shark, evigishki gustkraken, cold wave and snatch steal, etc.
let the world burn.
Get rid of the banlist and make other decks more powerful that seems fair
yea and than just completely forget about all those cards and play turbo exodia and draw into prohibition and dfiss!
Declin Suridge if they get rod of the banlist there will be no variety bc exodia is the best and most consistent deck of all time
I think it had something to do with handloops. I think Gustkraken got limited before it even came out in the TCG, correct me if Im wrong.
yeah that's correct. Evigishki Gustkraken was limited before it was even ported to the TCG that's why only a few remembers it. but in case you didn't know, its loop is to return all the opponents hand cards to their deck first turn. mind augus also reset the graveyard by spamming it multiple times in a turn. and the combo is very consistent because Preparation of Rites is at three and Gishki have two to three searchers on its archetype.
You aren't wrong but man did I like playing against them. They were so unfair it went full circle back to being fun. Duels against Dragon Ruler felt like I was fighting an RPG final boss that keeps changing forms.
Rain Forest Whitaker I remember one of the most tense games I ever had, playing against Dragon Rulers in their prime with my Worm deck. It was neck and neck the whole time, and had I not made the wrong move and let them open up I might've won. One of my favorite battles just because I was keeping toe-to-toe against a T-1/0 deck with worms.
Dragon Ruler was probably the fairest T0 Deck of all time. They didnt Stop you from playing or ftk you, like typical T0. They we're just insane Powerfull. You had a small Chance of winning. And when you pull it off without Spellbook or The Anti high lv Deck you felled like you are Yugi himself. I did trolled tryhard/Scrubs Dragon Ruler Player in DN Back then with a Rank 5 Anti Ruler (without Vanity) Deck. Basically i just did make Volcasaurus into gaia for ca 5000 DMG. The Rest of the Duel i did 3000 DMG and survive xD Worked every time. But looking into they GY and hand and misplays i know a good Player would crushed me.
Expectation: Dragon Rulers coming back would just be another linkspam.dek, they have been powercreeped enough to be let free again
Reality: 1 Tempest was enough to generate 3 different ways to FTK you consistently in today's meta.
My most intense and fun match ever was against D Rulers.
There should be a boss mode with them and super powerfull cards
Dragon rulers would have been T-0 if it wasn't for Spellbook of judgment being a thing at the same time they came out.
TheDuelLogs im sure it was intended.
id say they are both t-0 even with them both out
We need judgment back!!!
Well you might see the occasional evilswarm player get lucky and them not having the fire one in hand to pop ophion.
Metaknight145 that doesnt stop a deck from being tier 0
It’s hard to believe it’s been 5 years since dragon rulers came out it feels like yesterday.
Bro, I know, Im watching this video in 2019 and my mind is blown that it's been so long.
HoKogan you will never guess what its status is now
7 now
Damn time flies
Me, who hasn't touched the franchise since 2005: hm this Stardust Dragon thing looks pretty strong
I remember playing against Dragon Rulers. My opponent would start the turn with 5 cards in hand, and they would play a crapload of cards to search, then summon Dracossack. At the end of their turn, they have 6 cards in hand despite the fact they summoned a level 7 Xyz. It was just messed up how they got so many random pluses all the time so that they never ran out of material. I played a Zombie deck back then that could keep up with Dragon Rulers in terms of sheer tempo, but when I summoned my Xyz monsters it actually cost me cards, so I would inevitably lose after a few turns because the Dragon Ruler player still had 5 or 6 cards in hand while I was just top decking.
Nothings changed lmao
Man eater bug used to be an incredible card to deal with monsters. Now... monsters has like 3-4 effects. Thats why nostalgic favorites arent that much played anymore. Imagine dark magician has an effect like, discard 1 spellcaster on your hand to special summon this card. Once per turn, you can select 3 normal spell cards from your deck to your hand and let thr opponent pick one that would go to your hand. Put the rest into your graveyard. If this card on the field is sent to the graveyard, you can banish this and one spellcaster monster on your hand to special summon dark magician girl from your deck.
This is how ridiculous monster effects are right now.
git gud lol
That's not that ridiculous to be honest. Git gud

Confirmed: dzeef is still just salty that he lost to Wind-Ups.
Infernities honestly scarred me the most, I never wanna see that deck ever again because I could go get a pizza eat the whole thing and my opponent's turn STILL wasn't over! Kinda like Spyral but for some reason ALL infernity players were good..
Wonthangsoop no all infernity players set monsters in The spell/trap zone XD
It was because as long as you had no cards in your hand and copied a good infernity deck the deck played itself noobs don't build up hands when they get a good field so it's perfect for them
They are really annoying
so....you hate D/D/D then
@@michaelfox5281 to say Infernity is for noobs... gotta have some balls to say that. It's no Nekroz or Six Sams. But Jesus... easy? A deck which requires you to have no cards? Just because people know how to deckbuild and use it and it's broken, it's easy. Bollocks, dude!
Dragon rulers should come back individually at 1 every distant banlist to pretty much test out their effectiveness
Idk man Tempest is 1 card FTK
Yeaaaa, but after seeing the lone Dragon Ruler being part of the infamous Gandora FTK in the OCG, doesn’t look like they should bring any more back- or at all period to the TCG

I have no idea how to enforce this, but what if you were only allowed one Dragon Ruler? An F.A. deck could play Tempest and go against a Fire King deck with Blaster. I’d like that.
Jack Casey you see that’s what everyone thought was gonna happen after they went to 1, they just stayed being their own deck
My idea was to rotate them so that only one Dragon Ruler would be legal at a time. So first Mermail gets Tidal back for three months, then Tidal is rebanned and Harpies can use Tempest, and so on. So the Ruler deck will never be a thing, but they will come back every once in a while.
James Zetterman + But then they can’t fight each other. That’s no fun.
It'd just have to be a built in rule. "You can only have 1 Dragon Ruler in your main deck."
E E hell yeah there are so many decks I’d splash redox into
i remember those days of dragon rules. i stopped playing once pendulum, those days every deck could otk you like 80% of the time
Yu-GI-Oh has become pretty ridiculous in the last 2 or 3 years... PePe decks were such a fuck up on Konami's end. The newer deck completely bury anything else b4 them, like Nekroz, Shaddolls, PePe, and even Burning Abyss. The SPYRAL decks are even worse tbh.
Any deck can otk u now lop
IF you go secondth, most of the time its waiting for 30 mins or so in which you just leave
BABY I NEED MY DRAGON RULERS BACK
I think a lot of people want these decks back because they used to get destroyed by those decks, so having access to them now for cheaper is a satisfying feeling.
Dragon Rulers are so good, they're like Dark Souls
COUNTERPOINTS:
1. OMEGA - the thing about Omega is that there is an easy way to counter it. Ghost reaper. Most decks are siding ghost reaper anyway, so its not like you would changing people's strategy very much.
2. NEW DRAGON SUPPORT - ok I gotta admit dragon rulers with return of the dragon lords would be broke as fuck. And we have 3 ravine. And 3 debris. And glow up bulb. This is actually a really good point. I can't argue with it.
3. BFTDD - Pot of acquisitiveness is better. You get to recycle the dragons and draw a card. And it's not like getting them back in the grave would be hard with a blue-eyes engine and dark matter dragon.
I love the dragon rulers. I hated when they were tier 0. But I loved playing with them in other dragon decks right until they got banned. Hieratic rulers was tons of fun. So was lightsworn rulers.
I wish there was a way they could come back. I really do. But they can't. They are just too God damned broken.
*is the guy in the corner who wants to watch konami just completly remove the banlist/limitedlist/semi-limitedlist completly for a format, just to see what would happen. *
bugboy1014 I'd love to see the chaos of that. And I do wonder what would top out of all of that.
An Exodia deck that could ftk with 100% consistency probably.
MAKYURA EXODIA FTK 100% DECK YES. then it's basically gambling who goes 1st lmao
if you banned the ftk builds, I would imagine nekroz/dragon ruler/pepe format(but Pepe got bashed by the new link mechanic)
Exodia would be scary but people are going to side Ash Blossoms and Droll&Lock to stop Exodia game 2 and 3 so other powerful decks are going to otk it a lot too.
bugboy1014 It would literally be all ftks.
I liked Dragon Rulers when used as elemental support... And that was about it. Lmao!
Even though I "miss" Redox, Dragon Ruler of Boulders in my Plant Princess deck, it IS what it is. Things have changed so much over the years... And so has our expanded card pool.

NightClubSamurai the deck Performapal Pendulums they were legit a tier 0

ua-cam.com/video/OCyXel8e-D0/v-deo.html pepe vs zoo B05 crossbanlist
it was basically a mini deck called clownblade that spammed rank 4s, but than pendulum support came out and the performage engine became really good and there were cards that started the engine easily (brilliant fusion summon seraphinite, foolish, wavering eyes, etc.) and generic pendulum support like luster etc. and generic xyz support like norden and instant fusion.
the engine consisted of performages, performpals, magicians, and generic support.
it had about 4 variants, its first was clownblade which upgraded to pepe than got support and was at its ultimate fullpower just as breakers of shadow was released until the emergency banlist dropped hitting previous cards. the deck than became dracopals and revolved around performapals and dracos. than the deck was hit multiple times creating multiple variants like dark draco pals and oddeyes dracopals till cards were again fully hit. then magician support was made and now we have magician pendulum.
it was able to make the best possible boards the game has ever seen while gaining advantage and being the most consistent and most fastest deck the game has seen.
ocg still had shockmaster and had exclusive called azzathoth while this deck was out, you were able to use lvl 4s and get out ptolemaus and that got out pleiades or infinity or tellar diamond and in ocg azzathoth too or even durendal which you can combo with droll to make your opponent lose their hand.
because the deck was so amazing and everyone played it, there was a popular combo for the mirror match which was mained and you could make king of the feral imps searching xsaber palumoru and use that and an earth to get out naturia beast.
you could pendulum summon, get 2 normals, search special summons, pop and special cards while also adding, you could xyz, synchro and fusion, you could negate, you could take cards, you could bounce, you could have multiple lockdown cards, you had nontargetable removal, you could reduce dmg taken, you could take away your opponents hand, you could banish or shuffle, you could burn your opponent, you could search trap holes and counter traps, almost everything floated and you could otk easily etc. you could do everything.
NightClubSamurai lel zoodiac and dragon rulers and nekroz are shit compared to pepe especially drulers and zoodiacs nekroz has a chance of winning but the rest is shit
Let's not just talk out of our asses and remember that PePe would inherently suffer from Master Rule 4.
All I'm hearing is that I can abuse this against my buddys since we never cared about banlists and just play for fun. Thank you:-D
Lol if there isn't a judge, there isn't a ban list, that's my motto

Shit, I'd play Link Spam with Light/Dark Dragon, the Rulers, Grinder Golem and gofu. Sounds dumb af
To clarify, Rulers into Tomohawk
All of the dragon rulers, except for maybe redox, can go to 1. Earth attribute has become to powerful over the last couple of formats. Just ban galaxy tomahawk, and dark matter dragon, and they'll be fine. Master rule 4 made tomahawk broke so its was going to happen eventually anyways. Blue eyes, and mythic rulers can come back into the spotlight, and I don't think they'll be as dominate as spyral, or as consistent as magicians. The cards mentioned in this video are already abused to hell in lightsworn, zombies, and infernoid, so it wont make much of a difference.

I'd like to see konami do something creative with rulers, like limiting one each banlist while re-banning the one that they limited the previous banlist or something like that; that may require them to limit/ban dark matter dragon though
Nah...just bring them back to 1, REDMD to 2 or 3, and then don't even think about touching Dark Matter. Ok, maybe he could go to one

2019 entered the chat. Guardragon and this other shit here. We don't need Dragon Rulers. But we got Tempest.
Unkraut 777 guard dragons will eventually take themselves out via the ban list. When elpy gets banned then you won’t have to worry about Drulers making GD op.
Honestly the fact that Dragon Rulers were an extremely flexible deck is what made them fun to play. They had different strategies versus the mirror, versus Spellbooks, vs Evilswarm, vs various rogue decks etc. That can't be said for a lot of decks nowadays which seem to be focused on pushing to a game-winning monster or board (SPYRAL Sleeper, Timestar Magician, Droll and Reincarnation combo...).
I want them to come back simply because I feel they would be more fun...Except for maybe Tomohawk. That I can be concerned about.
Yes. There was more creativity in the game back in DR/Spell book/Evilsworn era unlike now where there is 1 game winning condition for each deck
I think it would be really interesting to see how all the old meta decks would compete with the newer ones. And considering that a lot of old arche types are pretty much useless i think it's a huge waste. That doesn't mean that you have to allow all the old cards again. I'm sure there is a way to keep everything balanced
Why I want to see Dragon Rulers back at 1; to see what they can actually do in the current game, they are also fun to play in my personal opinion, we have seen plenty of cards and decks that surpass the Dragon Rulers in terms of power and we have decks that can compete with them and I don't expect them to be as dominating as they were during their time, also there are more viable counters to Dragon Rulers. I also want to add that I also want to see Shurit, Stratos, Construct and Towers off the banlist together with the Rulers.
*1 year later*
Tempest: sorry wah dough can nah?
I agree with pretty much all your points here. But I will say that that was probably my favorite format. I'm a little biased because Spellbooks were my first competitive deck and I've been playing since Summoned Skull was meta. But also because to my knowledge this was the only time in Yugioh that there were two tier 0 decks. Which I know is awful if you're not playing either of those decks, but really cool if you're playing one against the other.
Exactly. Same here
Dragon Rulers looked SICK. But +7 during the End Phase was beyond nuts.
I know why you are here
hahaha
Ironic
The Dragon Rulers coming back would take the game by STORM
Orcust
To join your crew?
Seeijg those older videos about dragon rulers makes me realize that today's meta is just crazy fast and cursed
To be honest, I kinda miss the time with dragon rulers. My tempest is taking dust in my basement :(
It is at 1
I really liked Dragon Rulers in decks that aren't dragon Rulers.
I used to play 3 tidal in Frog monarchs back in the day to either summon a beater to punch face or send treeborn to grave.
It was a really nice card with a lot of elemental synergy.
If there was a complex ban on them allowing only one attribute of D-ruler to be in a deck at a time, they could likely be at 3 at it wouldn't be that big a deal.
Needle fiber and guardragon does not mix well with the dragon rulers...
Played during the Dragon Ruler era. I would like to see them all at least to one. I've always liked piloting dragon decks in general (blueyes/redeyes/oddeyes/chaosdragons) and dragon rulers were just always so fun to play with. That's what i liked about them, that they were fun.
You should have mentioned dragon rulers can easily summon galaxy tomahawk, nearly no minus. Ridicously tokens breeder in the link format.
Thành Nam also super easy to synchro out Red eyes flare metal dragon. Hope you like being locked out by burn!

Bryan Nieves unless they going against dragon ruler then you basically giving them plusses
A year later and we got Omega to 1, Snow banned, and Tempest back to 1.
I believe that once the Guardragon package is taken out, that all the Dragon Rulers could possibly return to 1.
Fingers crossed this video doesn’t get demonetized
Croutonking65 what does Demonetize mean? Im assuming it means this video wont make the dzeff money. But please school me.
@@duMaurier15 dunno if you ever got an answer but demonetization means that this video is being tagged by someone who claims it uses their stuff without fair use, which isn't true but hey, who cares about fairness anymore, and because the video gets automatically flagged by Konami, they get to decide who gets any money from ads run on the video, or they can prevent any ads from running. Either way, the actual creator doesn't see a dime.
Most of the ppl, (like me) don't want those meta decks back to full power
but the idea of a zoodiac vs nekroz match or dragon rulers vs shaddolls really appeals to me :)
well my theory on why they want old meta decks off the ban list is because they want something to counteract the meta that they now hate. i'm actually questioning why is it that whenever there are cards that support certain attribute(specifically monsters) that there are none for dark's or light's like the dragon rulers.
Because Dark and Light already have the best support. Earth too. Poor Wind, Water, and Fire...basically Infernoid, Mermail, and Harpies are the only decks.
I just really like the idea of older decks coming back to full power to shake up the meta and create more diverse formats. That being said, I think Dragon Rulers aren't old enough to come back yet. Wind-Ups and Inzektors should absolutely come back as fun and powerful tier 2 options.
Huh. Tempest would like to know your location
Maybe I am taking a shot in the dark here.
But wouldn`t Buster Blader the Dragon Destroyer Swordsman be useful agaibst them?
*Tempest has entered the chat*
Yeah this aged as well as FF7's graphics
Wow, time flies so fast. 2013-2014 ? I quit yugioh after that meta, shit was so crazy.
Tempest, Dragon Ruler of Storms: Hey Hey!
EDIT: Modernised it a bit.
Just wanted to post here that all the dragon rulers are officially limited
Someone used a deck of banned cards with these and they negated everything and he had the audacity to say that I can't use a exodia deck
How the fuck did he negate everything? I don’t remember any rank sevens that negate nor any ruler effects that say anything about negating.
Supreme Fool Maybe links or synchros Idk What negates other than mst
Number 95 and the limited to 1 Dragon rulers were legal for one event only, and that event was the Maryland regional, I attended that regional where a lot of players scrambled to get the deck prior to the event. I only played against 1, and I can’t remember the outcome, but I know the deck was good. Thank Komoney for not hitting it faster :)
Tempest says "hi"
I believe that the rulers can come back with an errata that changes the summoning condition to banishing 2 non-dragon type monsters of the same attribute as the ruler. That would allow them to be used by different decks of the same attribute without being abused by dragon type decks.
Here's a real question, if all the major decks except exodia had their cards unbanned, which deck would be the strongest now?
leonscottkennedyre4 prolly d rulers or pepe or zoo or something abuseable
PrinceXL The thing about true draco is that against Pretty much any good deck before it cant out masterpeace. Nekroz Can do it But Its a bit hard because u have to bait The pop rulers Can do it with The level 4 synchro that equips itself (cant remember name) and even then they have to bait The pop (dont know if books or pepe Can out it)
Rulers and maybe people for sure. Evern things like Nekroz and zoodiac don't hold a candle to these decks in their prime.
Every single ftk deck.
Magical explosions FTK
I very much agree with you on your points, I think people are looking back with too much fondness at those old formats and forgetting how much they bitched about those decks when they were relevant. I was playing most from 2009-2015 and I remember all those decks and how frustrating it was to try and play a control deck against dragon rulers. Though at the same time I never really had too many problems dealing with Inzektors or Wind ups. I think the only deck I truly miss was Chaos Dragons. That was one hell of a deck.
Here’s the difference. When you’re dueling against Dragun of Red Eyes, if your deck doesn’t have a splashable non negatable out for a non target non destruction removal, you have to scoop. When you’re dueling dragon rulers you don’t have to scoop. You just duel and try to out play them with resources and strategy. Skill is gone from Yu-Gi-Oh.
Well when we got the Dragonbane Archetype in particular Buster Blader The Dragon Destroyer Swordsman who negates all Dragon effects people thought the Rulers could come off since there was now a hard counter deck for it but with Link format that deck isn't viable at the moment so yeah let's keep them on the list for now.
Dragon rulers could easily come back; just limit their summoning conditions to their own attributes. No more banishing dragons; you can only special summon them by banishing 2 cards of their own attributes (fire for blaster, water for tidal, earth for boulder.). That way even if you try to build dragon rulers you have to have a bunch of random monsters.
That's pretty much what I've been saying. The Dragon Rulers were meant to be good support cards for Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind decks, so errata them by removing the "Dragon-type" part on all of them, babies and daddies, and you're good to go. No more broken plays.
Aquaria infernoids feeds off of the fire one they can easily abuse its effect- more or so in the hand discard it and any fire type just to pop any card on the field
Aquaria then they wouldn't be dragon rulers.......
That would ruined half of their purpose/thing honestly..
They are meant to work with not just elements but DRAGONS as well..
If they limited to 1, I wonder how much could be done..
Wished an actual graveyard dragon deck had a way to work
But that was just dumb.
here's an idea for an errata for dragon rulers. When this card is summoned or sent to the GY: banish all "Dragon Ruler" monsters with different attributes from your hand, deck, field, or GY, face-down. This will prevent dragon rulers from working together.
Well, that was a nice analyse.
Honestly, only reason they can't come back is because they re too fucking generic.
For example, think about redox in spyral
Dreary doll they can easily come back at one and they wouldn’t do shit besides top a few locals or make felgrand actually decent.
+Supreme Fool Too bad Galaxy Tomahawk is a card. Insane Link plays.
I love the hell out of your channel. You have common sense and talk about a card game that got me into nerdy stuff and made me most of the friends I have. I dont think I'll ever come back to yugioh, but I like to hear about it.
Waiting for Dragon Rulers to be power crept and unbanned : ^)
What they need is an errata which restricts their effects: can only be special summoned from the hand, if they’re banished they can’t search themselves.
This hasn’t aged well. *Looks at the current banlist
i was hoping for tidal to come to 1 this banlist but alas i just have to hold out hope for January ban-list
CosmicKitten10 It probably does have the best chance of coming back next compared to the rest of the lot. I’ve mostly seen people talk about how Redox and Blaster are the most abuseable in the modern game, but more sparse arguments against Tidal
@@JustInCaseD you are asking for frog engines to become broken as hell.
I'm revisiting this video since Tempest was recently put to 1 in the OCG, and it's already causing problems generating FTKs with Firewall Dragon. They aren't too powerful on their own in today's meta, but due to how powerful other cards are, they elevate the power level of Dragon Rulers as a Link engine and an FTK engine even further, meaning they absolutely are too much for the game. They still can't come back, it's truly amazing how powerful they are.
I just want my pantheism back to 3 #bringbackmonarchs

Oh, you just mentioned the Inzektor/Dino/Windup format and a ton of nostalgia hit me because of my old WindUp rogue deck. It was fun because I didn't use the Hunter strategy. I just liked to flood the field with 3 carriers :p
Idc about DRs I just want super rejuve back so my beloved heiratics can be as great as they should be. #FullPowerHieratic
My favorite plays in the game i still remember was at a highly competitive locals(patrick hobans locals) playing evilswarms and i went to game 3 against a 100% dragon ruler deck by means photon papilloperative into a draccosack token. I still remember the look on his face and realization that he lost. 😂
Return of the Dragon lords came out in the felgrand structure deck
As someone who has loved mermails since day 1 (mostly because of their synergy with frogs, my favourite archetype of all time) i just want to say that I get very excited if people top events with mermail decks :D
I stopped playing Yu Gi Oh because how badly balanced it is. They always make gigantic powercreeps and then ban them. It's absurd how many cards are banned so fast.
Late reply but i really dgaf.
Most of the time its because of unseen abuse potential just like super rejuvenation with the dragon rulers, when super rejuvenation came out in 2005 or so it was a rather bad/mediocre card but everything changed when the -fire nation attacked- dragon rulers came by, another example is morphing jar #2 (and another miller card) and all-out attack, and many other combinations of old cards with new cards, i think it is too hard to keep track of all the damn cards that are created, but yeah there is also some other cards are created just to be almost instantly banned.
I think what made dragon rulers effective was the trap line-up of the format, you generally never saw huge backrow and occasionally ran into the solemn brigade + breakthrough + mirror/torrential, rulers took advantage of that cause no matter if they were destroyed, they were still usable.
Now I know why this video got demonitised, you're spreading false news, Return of the Dragon Lords came in the Rise of the True Dragon Lords structure deck a.k.a. the second Felgrand structure deck and is not a Blue-Eyes card although Blue-Eyes can make the best use out of it.
He made a comment, correcting himself. But yeah, he's "fake news."
Lol
Pot of Acqusitiveness can also cycle the Dragon Rulers back though it would put them back into the deck instead.
Can someone explain to me why these are so good? Last time I played synchros were new lmao
Recently started getting into things but I don't know what combos these can pull off
CloudyVenom check out Lithium2300. He dose cross Banlist duells and you can see Rulers in action, aganst other OP decks (e.g. tete DAD)
Journey of the Soul yeah, and Gold Sarcophagus triggered their effects immediately, they had indirect support with sacred sword.
I've seen Skull Lair do work in D Rulers.
Huh interesting, I'll look into Lithium later. They sound kinda interesting actually, I play with a friend with no banlist online so I might throw something together
Journey of the Soul remind me of old times, i used wind type DR in my MPB deck
Plus red eyes flare metal dragon gives them a monster that has nice protection.
1) we didnt hate the deck we hated it proce tag.
2) e dragons were playing with 6 card hands 5 cards slows it down
3) yue deck will get heavily stuned by hand traps
Left arm offering triggers rulers while searching soul charge.
If they bring them back to 1, that's really no big deal.
They can come back if you nerf them. That's the only way. Either that or just bring one of the back to one.
if they come back they arent nerfed then
PokéKid errata. But that still seems far fetched.
Jory Porteous erratas would ruin them. i agree its far fetched, i never see erratas as a choice because it pushes people away from playing those cards ever again which is unfair.
And errats pretty much ruins the legacy of a card
Look at Crush Card Virus, it was practically defiled and ruined honestly
Your opponent should have the CHOICE to kill up to 3 of their monsters from their decks since it could pretty much backfire
Should have been the USER'S choice to do that honestly
they should just make newer versions, like with pot of duality as the new see 3 cards opposed to graceful and with dichotomy and jar of ava for pot of ava. even things like jar of greed, reckless greed, and desires are new versions of pot of greed without nerfing the card. they shoulda just made a new virus card and things like new sangan and witch, they made gouki lol.
as said above by minicooper, true kings are new rulers (even though they are very inconsistent and got very close to completely useless, they already took a big hit with lithos gone)
I think one of the cards that everyone about with dragon rulers is eclipse wyvern. Lightsowrn rulers were a solid deck. And I think the dark matter OTK would be enabled in we had any D ruler back with eclipse wyvern.
I say do an errata where the Dragon Rulers and their babies don’t work with Dragons and just make them generic support for attributes. Of course leave the part where they can only search a Dragon of their Attribute and not just any monster of that Attribute, cause that would be bonkers.
I feel people argue that certain cards should come back for certain decks because now-a-days they seem more healthy and balanced compared to what we have now. The Dragon Rulers in their current iteration should not return.
remove ban list, no errata
I built a Dark Paladin turbo deck specifically designed to counter Dragon Rulers. Why yes, you can make your plays. However, when you are staring down a monster that has greater base stats and grows bigger as you make your plays and is resistant to board wipes it is not my fault when you decide to flip the table.
Ban Omega and bring back the Rulers GGEZ
Why ban 1 of the best Synhcros in the game rather than errataing Rulers to just make them attribute specific.(No Dragon support.)
but tbh omega can go burn in hell, I want to play my dragon rulers :(
Omega can stay, d-rulers no.
"Let's take out one of the only things making Synchro decks playable right now so we can have these ridiculously powerful monsters that can spam out Links via Galaxy Tomahawk along with other power plays."
Yeah, okay pal.
Cory in the House that sounds like a great idea But Its not like They Can lock u out of the extradeck by sending arkbrave dragon and amorphage goliath to The grave of Dark matter dragon oh wait they now have a walking vanities emptiness👌👌👌
At the time Dragon Rulers we’re out, I stomped them out with a Macro Dark Dust deck. It basically used D.D.s with Dark Dust Spirit and created a floodgate with macro and d fissure. Field nuke and banish every turn with no loss of materials
Dragon ruler hands down best deck they banned the whole archetype! The whole deck unbann it it'll be tier 0 again with ease
I honestly feel like there are enough play disruption in the game now that each Dragon Ruler to one would not be broken but simply balance. Granted you can play Omega, but people can Strike it, Ghost Ash it, or even use that PK trap. Just saying, granted in the past few years since that format they were still considered broken but the game has evolved since that time
So basically ppl feel cards should be banned because you cant handle them instead of making a strategy to stop them which to me is why i loved yugioh.....
Some cards are busted and deserve to be banned but most of the cards on the ban list should come back especially cards of old archetypes because the new archetypes are more broken
Chris Alvarado or Maybe cards are banned because they’re too powerful
Card are baned because they are so powerful that no strategies or deck that come close to touch them
Ok but imagine for the anime if the villains were 4 people who each used a different Dragon Ruler as their deck thing and they were quadruplets or something. Then if they all want to battle someone they each take 10 cards from their own deck and slap them together.
Get demonitized
I remember seeing these cards on the banlist not too long ago and the art design really caught my attention. All 4 boss monsters have fantastic art work.
I hate this attitude. You should take most things off the ban list because if you did there would be a load of decks competing. To be honest no one really knows what's broken or what's not broken because they haven't seen any of the old meta decks competing in today's game. If you release most of the ban list you could observe what's too good and ban accordingly. The fact of the matter is the reason that there are tier 0 formats is because decks that would compete against them are banned. This also suits konami because they get more money for the new broken decks that come out. The truth is sure there is more support for drulers nowadays but there is also plenty of ways to shut them down. So here's my proposal release most of the ban list bar generic cards like pot of greed graceful charity monster reborn etc and see what that meta is like. Plus link format would slow the rulers down too.
paddyd50 gamer if there was no banlist, dragon rulers wouldn’t be tier 0, it would be a exodia ftk turn one wins 100% of the time format. They would then move from banning them to the top deck until we’re at where we are now. Banned cards tend to have a reason behind it.
@@zachcondel7116 not really. The exodia FTK you are right about and that should never happen. Some generic cards like Pot of Greed should stay banned. But there are decks that are not played anymore simple becauze of the banlist and if they come back it would be more competitive. Dragon Rulers in link format would not even be tier 1 now so why keep them banned? Even spell book of judgement should come back and infernity cards should go back to 3. The new archetypes are way more powerful than the old ones so there is no reason to ban cards in the first place , just add more cards. But then again its for money

Were you around for Dragon Rulers? Dragon Rulers can still abuse link mechanic and just spam different and newer extra deck cards. Dragon rulers in their prime with support from a lot of cards released after they got hit would be fairly strong.
Dragon Rulers have not been power creeped as much as you think. The deck was far too versatile for its own good.
This guy wants to say hi to Magical Scientist every morning!
@@PlaguevonKarma It's time for the Rulers to come back!
Just one copy each though..we don't want too much shenanigans.
I think that something a lot of people forget about dragon rulers when they say they should come back, is that rulers are more than just a standalone deck, they are also an engine... an extremely powerful and extremely splashable engine.
