Those were the days. I remember summoning my first synchro on hamachi or something and expecting the other guy to stop me by telling me "Hey, stop that, tha's not how you do it, your doing it wrong"
Speaking of that, These videos make me wanna hunt down some of those cards. Even though most of them are from old school packs, which I can't find anymore.
@@nazeersadek6705 Single cards will be super expensive online though. For example: Chocolate Magician Girl is going for almost $40 CAN on amazon. Which feels a little over priced for a single card. Also, there's a lot of scalpers out there. Meaning I risk getting screwed over when ordering single cards online.
I feel like you should turn this into a mini series and cover all the nostalgic archetypes because I know people would click on that kinda stuff. Also Happy Birthday.
you are so right, I dont play Yugioh and never intend to. But thinks like Dark magician or blue eyes tickle my nostalgia :D Just to see those cards and get reminded, why I dont play yugioh :D
When I saw Magician's Souls as #2 on the list, I couldn't help but wonder what could possibly be better and then I saw the #1 spot and it made sense.......
10:34 Duel Logs: [Apprentice Illusion Magician] is an obvious retrain of Dark Magician Girl and is just choc- Me: -olate? Duel Logs: full of really good effects... Me: Oh, of course.
I've always been a fan of the Magician Of Chaos ritual monster. It's name becomes Dark Magician when it's summoned, which means Eternal Soul protects it from card effects, and it has the effect to destroy card on the field once per turn.
@@eonflutehza131 they are, but i think running one Black Magician of Chaos Max in DM is alright, just because you can recycle any spelll from the GY with its effect, so pulling back Eye of Timaeus or secrets of dark magic or just anything. Use the same soul servant twice to top load deck then banish it if you can draw two, lots of decent synergy but not one to overly commit too
A reminder about The Dark Magicians, it is a trigger effect to draw a card, meaning that if you activate a spell/trap or effect, you must resolve that effect, then in a new chain, you draw one card. I've seen a few yugitubers and players mistake it for a Quick effect
Top 10 parody cards. Top 10 cards based on other Konami games. Top 10 special conditions in the games. Top 10 anime/manga exclusive cards. Top 10 cards that newcomers shouldn't use. More Rescue Rabbit, please.
@@isaacfoster4186 Possibly? I was thinking about how Cold Feet parodies Cold Wave and how there's a card that parodies the artwork for Return from the Different Dimension.
ngl I'd be interested in a video about that second one, specially since Duel Logs' rule about not talking about a single archetype more than once means the video wouldn't be entirely Spyral cards.
Dark Ruler No More is actually a story card. Namely it follows the war between Dark Ruler Ha Des and Dark King of the Abyss that occasionally gets continued every couple years or so on card art. FYI, there’s also one where the angel on the Forbidden cards gets cast into hell by the guy on the Solemn cards and she creates an army of Darklords and has now not only overthrown him but corrupted his lady friends as well. My favorite story from the art is Sangan’s tour through the underworld as it references not only a lot of fan favorite cards but mirrors his time on and off the ban list (especially as many of the folks he meets are those that have been on the ban list since forever such as Graceful Charity).
It did at first but the longer I looked at it the more I realized it's just "unpolished" also if the story about censorship is true I'm very confused what the issue was, it shows just as much shoulder as Dark magician girl and even less skin since her legs aren't visible like they are on some Dark magician girl cards, so what the hell?
@@LilyApus They wanted to censor probably the boobs, and takahashi wouldn't let them censor it, so it was never taken to america. Or It could've been the Ankh on her chest, which is traditionally censored like with monster reborn.
It's an easy access floodgate provided you have what to tribute (and you will in modern ritual engines). Blue Eyes is a life point wipe, but that's not relevant anymore.
My biggest grievance with those kinds of cards is when they are blatantly asking to be dual attribute... (e.g. Frost and Flame Dragon, who is only WATER and not FIRE attribute) ...while Simorgh has 2 counterparts that are perfectly fine being dual attribute. (Dark Simorgh & Simorgh of Darkness)
I haven't even thought about Yu-Gi-Oh in about a decade, but your videos got recommended to me randomly on UA-cam. The high quality/ polish on your videos and how you explain things clearly and completely makes your videos super easy and fun to watch. Keep up the fantastic work!
I...did not realize magi magi magician girl was an ACTUAL card. I thought it was fanmade. Ya learn something new everyday. Also, a HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DUEL LOGS
7:37 I always learn something about Yu-Gi-Oh! when I watch DuelLogs' videos. In this case, the fact that "'insert name here' monsters" does not count as "insert name here" when dealing with searchers that involve card text.
Yeah, it's weird, but essentially the searchers for DM cards will search ones that specifically mention "Dark Magician" as in the card itself, since support archetype names weren't really much of a concept when Thousand Knives et all were released. Timaeus on the other hand refers to "Dark Magician" monsters, referring to the archetype as a whole instead of a specific card. Timaeus was (and maybe still is, unsure) the only card that made Dark Magician an archetype and not a series
I feel Magician of Chaos deserves an honorable mention. It's a decent Ritual that treats itself as Dark Magician, so it gains the benefits from cards like Dark Magical Circle and Eternal Soul, and can potentially float into Magician of Black Chaos MAX.
Top 10 OJAMA cards Also, did some of you ever notice all the main deck ojamas color pallettes is the same as the outfits the magician girl monsters wear? Because I did and I haven't been the same since
Ojama Black Magician Girl Lv 6 Spellcaster/Effect 2000 ATK 1000 DEF You can special summon this card by discarding one Ojama card. You can only special summon one Ojama Black Magician Girl once per turn. This card gains 300 ATK for each Ojama cards in the GY.
Wow Dark Magic Attack is viable... honestly this makes me smile so much, I used to have it on my deck way back in the day along with heavy storm and MST because hey, a back row nuke that only requires Dark Magician, which was very easy to bring out with Magical Dimension? Sign me up.
I got the structure deck of spellcasters back in the day that had this, but the only reliable way I could bring out DM back then was Magical Dimension (I love that card to this day), so I had to replace it with more reliable S/T destruction. It's awesome to run at least one now in Master Duel as one of the only decade+ old cards that can still work for the archetype. Dark Burning Magic as well thanks to Salvation and Bond.
Honestly, I'm surprised Magicians Navigation was not in the list. Glad it was mentioned, but the ability to summon Dark Magician, AND any lvl 1-7 Dark Spellcaster type monster can lead into lots of other combos. Plus the bonus of temporarily disabling your opponents active spell/trap is a nice bonus.
This is the one I've waited on most considering outside of competitive and semi-competitive duels, I still have a deck dedicated to this archetypes and still use it. Thanks a lot TheDuelLogs!
I had one in my spellcaster engine in 06. No reason not to with how easy it was to bring out with magical dimension which also popped a monster as well.
I love how you made this video right after farfa released a video of dark magician winning a tournament against blue eyes white dragon. It's a locked tournament of those 2 themes but dark magician won
I remember making a Dark Paladin deck in Nightmare Troubadour. The idea was to summon it using Goddess with the Third Eye in place of DM and then combine it with DNA Surgery and Dragon's Rage for massive amounts of battle damage.
You know, watching your vids, the number of times a card is rendered practically useless due to missing timing makes me want a vid on the top 10 cards that would be fixed if they couldn't miss timing.
Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon: "I am of the first packs. I am vengeance incarnate! I AM RED-EYES B. DRAGON! THOU SHALT DIE AT MY HAND!" Dark Magician: "This is not your hand, Wyrm!" *changes type to Spellcaster*
Been watching a lot of your videos and im currently running a Dark Magician deck. I was surprised to know the Dark Magician Dragon Knight / Eternal Soul wasn’t a common combo given it gives an almost permanent omni-protection for both cards, considering DMDK becomes “Dark Magician” while on the field and GY. Meaning DMDK becomes immune to all card effects while at the same time becoming a resource for tributing and special summoning for the Dark Magician / Dark Magic Circle combo and on top of it protecting both Eternal Soul and Dark Magic Circle from anything besides someone like Jinzo with its non targeting blanket negate. Anyways, keep up the good content!
Archetypes which still use their old cards. You talk sometimes about archetypes that don’t play any of their old cards (e.g. you mentioned Archfiends before, or Black Luster Soldier). It’d be like that, but backwards.
Some of these archetype cards are great, but I miss the days you used other spellcaster cards with your deck Yugi has a deck for; buster blader, dark magicians, bls, magnets, god card structure decks and the 3 knights with the kings court. Here I am just waiting for a winged dragon guardian of the fortress and feral imp ugrades
Just play online? I gave up on collecting physical cards a long time ago. Too random and costly. I just wish Konami would make more and better full Yu-Gi-Oh games (at this point there should be an AR game on the phone and a super ambitious console game with all the anime gimmicks from every era). At least there's always YGOPRO.
This is what inevitably will happen in a post apocalyptic yugioh. After both yugi and joey die, dark magician knows that he won't be able to survive together, and kills red-eyes in order to become the ultimate wizard in terms of attack and defense, carrying the friendship knowing it's what Joey would have wanted.
Same here. Plus if you play Night's End Sorcerer as a garnet you can banish two cards in your opponent's grave too, and of course there's that combo with Dark Magical Circle banishing one card on opponent's field
Amazing thing about Apprentice Illusion Magician; the effect that boosts another Dark Spellcaster does NOT target, so if you have Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon at 4000 ATK, and you're battling a 5000 Five Headed Link Dragon, you can send ALM to the GY to boost Dark Dragoon by 2000, making him at 6000 ATK
I play Eternal Soul/Dark Magician the Dragon Knight all the time against my friends and coworkers. Amazing combo, gives you a lot time to bring out even scarier monsters
I don't think it'll be banned anytime soon because that would mean people are using it and every boss monster nowadays has an omni-negate and card immunity. It's disgusting and busted, but not Very Fun Dragon busted.
It's not used that often, also, requires 3 garnets to play outside of a dark magician deck, Dark Magician Red Eyes Black Dragon Red eyes fusion If you draw any of these you're already in a bad spot with a garnet in your hand and/or forced to activate red eyes fusion the normal way
Magi Magi ☆ Magician Gal not getting released for censorship has been shaky in recent years since Konami has been doing campaigns of releasing cards with their OCG artworks. Sure it would be pricey, but I see no reason why the cards not released due to the censorship headache can't be released via that.
Magicians' Souls alongside Contract With Don Thousand gives such a boost to cycling through the deck that it and Dark World/Danger are my main go-to generic draw engines. When not playing OCG unlimited Upstart Golbin and Chicken Game anyway. Sure, Don Thousand gives your opponent 1 card and costs 1000 LP, but with Magicians' Souls you inflict 1000 damage bypassing "effect damage" and "battle damage" clauses and draw at least 2 cards while getting a Level 1 Effect Monster for Link Summoning and putting a high Level Spellcaster in the Grave; making it a +1 on its own without accounting for sending a second Spell/Trap with Magicians' Souls or doing anything extra. The 1000 damage admittedly isn't very relevant, except for FTK decks where it can be the difference between bricking and winning the duel.
I'm loving this series. Im sure red eyes is next but I think a best gate guardians cards would be... something... lol that's a little birthday joke for you
For a few moments I thought I lived in a magicial fantasy world where red eyes dark dragoon was already banned in the tcg and I didn't have to feel bad about not having it :'(
Hey, could you cover the Six Samurai Archetype, it's my favorite archetype and really would like some insight on playing my deck better. Thank you, love the channel
Happy birthday man I just got one dragoon for my magicians deck don't have the redeye fussion tho just using polly and the dragon spellcaster searcher monster
what's fuckin' weird is Eternal Soul IS in Duel Links, but it's not available for the player. It's only used by Yami Yugi during the Tag Duel Tournament.
Can you do the top 10 “Red eyes black dragon” cards? You did Yugi’s and Kaiba’s main card, so it sounds fitting to finish the main three duelist from the main anime before jumping to other cards.
Top 10 best cards that give your opponent advantage (as in they summon free monsters to their side of the field like Lost World, let them draw a card like Dark World Dealings, etc), as a counterpart to the top 10 worst cards that give you advantage video. Top 10 best cards that shuffle cards into the deck (I am not expecting it at all, but I'd love to see Rainbow Overdragon at least on the 10th spot. If that cutie resolves on your opponent's End Phase, you are almost certain to win right away).
I love how Dark Magician and Blue Eyes have the best support and you never know which deck will win. Im a bit late but Happy Birthday. Mine is in a month
I mean, you kinda mentioned it in the comparison with MAX, but I do think that dark magician of chaos deserves its own place too seeing how it was a meta defining card in a good few historical formats. And often hovers in the limited to banned range.
I absolutely loved playing the dark magicians. Usually you get at least 2 draws from it, on the turn its summoned, and on your opponent’s next turn by your or your opponents card triggering it. it floating into 2 more monsters on destuction is just the cherry on the cake.
Technically the Eye of Timaeus isn't a Dark Magician card, but it is. It lets you do a one card fusion to get some of the best fusion monsters out. With just a Dark Magician, you can get out The Dark Magicians, Dark Paladin, Amulet Dragon, Dark Magician the Dragon Knight, Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon, and whatever they release in the future. While the Dark Magician has to be on the field to use this card, the archetype as so many ways to do it that it's super easy to activate.
It’s that pesky localization team again. The original says “ a Dark Magician monster”, which, to my knowledge only counts DM and DMG. The rest with DM in the name in english didn’t originally. It’s Rainbow Neos all over again. Edit: Wow, I remembered Timaeus wrong. Keeping this here for other info, though.
@@pyrotempestwing It does say "Dark Magician monster", which are just Dark Magician, Dark Magician Girl, and Skilled Dark Magician (which has no fusion cards), I just used Dark Magician as the example because 99/100 times, you'll be using Dark Magician or a card treated as Dark Magician and not Dark Magician Girl.
I love how honest this is. Its 100% correct and DM fans would probably cry that you called half their cards bad lmao I am very self aware of how average half the DM cards are. Besides Dragoon and Souls, we dont have a lot going on LMAO
Interesting how one set kinda boosted an archtype as most of these cards come from magical heroes unless I'm mistaken. Also happy birthday. Also also top 10 red-eyes cards unless it's been done otherwise top 10 toons, harpies, or using the GX era, top 10 neos cards. If these have already been then I've got some searching to do
Thanks for making a list from one of my favorite Decks ☺️ It's really a shame that you can't search Eye of Timaeus. But on the other hand it would be a bit broken i guess.
As a note for Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon, if you play Cyber Stein in a Gren Maju deck alongside Soul Absorption you can summon 3 copies of Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon from your Extra Deck because it doesn't have the "Must be Fusion Summoned" clause and only likes to be Fusion Summoned for its monster destruction effect. And you can use all 3 of their negation effects, as they are not a hard once per turn. As an example of how this works, an example starting hand: Soul Absorption Eater of Millions Pot of Desires Cyber Stein Gizmek Orochi, the Serpentron Sky Slasher (or any means to get it in the grave, e.g. Foolish Burial) Playing Soul Absorption, using Pot of Desires, summoning Orochi, and banishing 5 cards with Eater of Millions will give 11500 Life Points - taking you to 19500 Life Points. Then you can bring out Cyber Stein and activate its effect 3 times to summon all 3 copies of Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon, albeit without their effect from being Fusion Summoned. From there you can even go on to use Cyber Stein and Gizmek Orochi for Link Summons, Cyber Stein in particular can go in to Link-1 monsters, particularly if it was Normal Summoned. (See "Salamangreat Almiraj", which can further go into "Secure Gardna")
Its also my birthday!
Good birthday man great vid as always :)
Happy birthday

Archetypes which still use their old cards. You talk sometimes about archetypes that don’t play any of their old cards (e.g. you mentioned Archfiends before, or Black Luster Soldier). It’d be like that, but backwards.
Now we wait for "Top 10 Worst Elemental Hero Cards" and "Top 10 Best Elemental Hero Cards".
Some of these archetype cards are great, but I miss the days you used other spellcaster cards with your deck
Yugi has a deck for; buster blader, dark magicians, bls, magnets, god card structure decks and the 3 knights with the kings court.
Here I am just waiting for a winged dragon guardian of the fortress and feral imp ugrades
happy birthday, I enjoy your content.
I really want Magician's Soul, but I also really don't wanna spend $100 on one card
Just spend $100 opening packs instead and then ask yourself why you spent $100 on cards without even getting the one you wanted
@@sirswagabadha4896 I'll rephrase. I don't want to spend $100 on a YGO card(s) in general 😂
@@Atem_in_the_streets reprints is almost inevitable if this card is used in every deck.
Just play online? I gave up on collecting physical cards a long time ago. Too random and costly. I just wish Konami would make more and better full Yu-Gi-Oh games (at this point there should be an AR game on the phone and a super ambitious console game with all the anime gimmicks from every era). At least there's always YGOPRO.
red eyes dark dragoon looks like dark magician if he skinned red eyes black dragon.
More like Dark Paladin lol
@@Yami_Duelist haha yeah
This is what inevitably will happen in a post apocalyptic yugioh. After both yugi and joey die, dark magician knows that he won't be able to survive together, and kills red-eyes in order to become the ultimate wizard in terms of attack and defense, carrying the friendship knowing it's what Joey would have wanted.
I think Navigation should be on the list. Being able to bring out two monsters is really good and its negate is handy too.
Same here. Plus if you play Night's End Sorcerer
as a garnet you can banish two cards in your opponent's grave too, and of course there's that combo with Dark Magical Circle banishing one card on opponent's field
the problem with navigation is that you can only activate it when you have dark magician in your hand
Amazing thing about Apprentice Illusion Magician; the effect that boosts another Dark Spellcaster does NOT target, so if you have Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon at 4000 ATK, and you're battling a 5000 Five Headed Link Dragon, you can send ALM to the GY to boost Dark Dragoon by 2000, making him at 6000 ATK
Thank you for letting us know!
Ayyyy my request viddy! Thank you!
Magician souls is so powerful it can destroy your wallet in one turn
Its expensive for no reason too, lol.
No Dark Magician Girl..
Soap trusted you. I thought I could too. So why in bloody hell, does Makrov know you??!
I play Eternal Soul/Dark Magician the Dragon Knight all the time against my friends and coworkers. Amazing combo, gives you a lot time to bring out even scarier monsters
tbh im rly interested in that cards that exist in the ocg but not the tcg? maybe a series like the why its banned for that kinda thing could be neat?
One of the last Top 10 appearances for Dragoon before heading off to the land of The Tyrant Neptune and friends.
I don't think it'll be banned anytime soon because that would mean people are using it and every boss monster nowadays has an omni-negate and card immunity.
It's disgusting and busted, but not Very Fun Dragon busted.
It's not used that often, also, requires 3 garnets to play outside of a dark magician deck,
Dark Magician
Red Eyes Black Dragon
Red eyes fusion
If you draw any of these you're already in a bad spot with a garnet in your hand and/or forced to activate red eyes fusion the normal way
Why would they ban a card only rogue decks play?
@@shis1988 he probably means top 10 duellog banlist. Where duellog ban cards because he place them too often in his list.
I'm kinda surprised Red-eyes fusion didn't make the cut...it does support dark magician after all😅😅
Pot of greed can support dark magicians too, doesn't make it a DM card.
Magi Magi ☆ Magician Gal not getting released for censorship has been shaky in recent years since Konami has been doing campaigns of releasing cards with their OCG artworks. Sure it would be pricey, but I see no reason why the cards not released due to the censorship headache can't be released via that.
Because Konami.
Magicians' Souls alongside Contract With Don Thousand gives such a boost to cycling through the deck that it and Dark World/Danger are my main go-to generic draw engines. When not playing OCG unlimited Upstart Golbin and Chicken Game anyway.
Sure, Don Thousand gives your opponent 1 card and costs 1000 LP, but with Magicians' Souls you inflict 1000 damage bypassing "effect damage" and "battle damage" clauses and draw at least 2 cards while getting a Level 1 Effect Monster for Link Summoning and putting a high Level Spellcaster in the Grave; making it a +1 on its own without accounting for sending a second Spell/Trap with Magicians' Souls or doing anything extra.
The 1000 damage admittedly isn't very relevant, except for FTK decks where it can be the difference between bricking and winning the duel.
I feel that dark magician just needs more support. That draw back effect on eternal soul is just so devastating
Even when it doesn't need more support, I will want more support for it. I love Yugioh's magicians.
top ten r34 ygo artists
I would've put Dark Paladin in as an honorable mention at least.
Always loved that card.
I'm loving this series. Im sure red eyes is next but I think a best gate guardians cards would be... something... lol that's a little birthday joke for you
Top 10 Red-Eyes Black Dragon Cards
For a few moments I thought I lived in a magicial fantasy world where red eyes dark dragoon was already banned in the tcg and I didn't have to feel bad about not having it :'(
Hey, could you cover the Six Samurai Archetype, it's my favorite archetype and really would like some insight on playing my deck better. Thank you, love the channel
Happy birthday man I just got one dragoon for my magicians deck don't have the redeye fussion tho just using polly and the dragon spellcaster searcher monster
Top 10 best red eyes cards
“I don’t know if that’s 100% true and I don’t really care”
-duel logs
Oh, happy birthday and thanks for doing a dark magician top ten list my favorite card
Yt didn't give me a notification for this so I've just seen it but happy birthday for a month ago
what's fuckin' weird is Eternal Soul IS in Duel Links, but it's not available for the player. It's only used by Yami Yugi during the Tag Duel Tournament.
Top 10 Best Red Eyes cards
Dragoon again xD
black metal dragon is better than dragoon
@@Yami_Duelist it's between REDMD and black metal if we see by meta play. Dragon link FTW!!!
Can you do the top 10 “Red eyes black dragon” cards? You did Yugi’s and Kaiba’s main card, so it sounds fitting to finish the main three duelist from the main anime before jumping to other cards.
Top 10 best cards that give your opponent advantage (as in they summon free monsters to their side of the field like Lost World, let them draw a card like Dark World Dealings, etc), as a counterpart to the top 10 worst cards that give you advantage video.
Top 10 best cards that shuffle cards into the deck (I am not expecting it at all, but I'd love to see Rainbow Overdragon at least on the 10th spot. If that cutie resolves on your opponent's End Phase, you are almost certain to win right away).
I see Dark Magician, I click on the video, that simple.
What a Chad, he released a video on his birthday for us.
How do you know for sure this is his birthday?
happy birthday, #1 favourite custim card reviwer!
I love how Dark Magician and Blue Eyes have the best support and you never know which deck will win.
Im a bit late but Happy Birthday. Mine is in a month
How about a "top / worst 10 cards that add (or use) spell counters"?
Oh yes Dark magician
I’m surprised you haven’t done this already.
I mean, you kinda mentioned it in the comparison with MAX, but I do think that dark magician of chaos deserves its own place too seeing how it was a meta defining card in a good few historical formats. And often hovers in the limited to banned range.
Red Eyes Dark Dragoon is an Eye of Timaeus target ._.
*Oh god*
Why Konami
Jesus fucking christ why are a lot of these so expensive? So a good dark magician deck would cost you nearly a grand and it's not even meta! wtf...
Happy birthday!
I absolutely loved playing the dark magicians. Usually you get at least 2 draws from it, on the turn its summoned, and on your opponent’s next turn by your or your opponents card triggering it. it floating into 2 more monsters on destuction is just the cherry on the cake.
You forgot the best & strongest support of them all: Dark Magician Girl
Most beautiful*
First because I paid.
Technically the Eye of Timaeus isn't a Dark Magician card, but it is. It lets you do a one card fusion to get some of the best fusion monsters out. With just a Dark Magician, you can get out The Dark Magicians, Dark Paladin, Amulet Dragon, Dark Magician the Dragon Knight, Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon, and whatever they release in the future. While the Dark Magician has to be on the field to use this card, the archetype as so many ways to do it that it's super easy to activate.
It’s that pesky localization team again. The original says “ a Dark Magician monster”, which, to my knowledge only counts DM and DMG. The rest with DM in the name in english didn’t originally. It’s Rainbow Neos all over again.
Edit: Wow, I remembered Timaeus wrong. Keeping this here for other info, though.
@@pyrotempestwing It does say "Dark Magician monster", which are just Dark Magician, Dark Magician Girl, and Skilled Dark Magician (which has no fusion cards), I just used Dark Magician as the example because 99/100 times, you'll be using Dark Magician or a card treated as Dark Magician and not Dark Magician Girl.
I love how honest this is. Its 100% correct and DM fans would probably cry that you called half their cards bad lmao
I am very self aware of how average half the DM cards are. Besides Dragoon and Souls, we dont have a lot going on LMAO
Magician Navigation I felt should've made this list.
Interesting how one set kinda boosted an archtype as most of these cards come from magical heroes unless I'm mistaken.
Also happy birthday.
Also also top 10 red-eyes cards unless it's been done otherwise top 10 toons, harpies, or using the GX era, top 10 neos cards. If these have already been then I've got some searching to do
Thanks for making a list from one of my favorite Decks ☺️
It's really a shame that you can't search Eye of Timaeus. But on the other hand it would be a bit broken i guess.
As a note for Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon, if you play Cyber Stein in a Gren Maju deck alongside Soul Absorption you can summon 3 copies of Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon from your Extra Deck because it doesn't have the "Must be Fusion Summoned" clause and only likes to be Fusion Summoned for its monster destruction effect. And you can use all 3 of their negation effects, as they are not a hard once per turn.
As an example of how this works, an example starting hand:
Soul Absorption
Eater of Millions
Pot of Desires
Cyber Stein
Gizmek Orochi, the Serpentron Sky Slasher (or any means to get it in the grave, e.g. Foolish Burial)
Playing Soul Absorption, using Pot of Desires, summoning Orochi, and banishing 5 cards with Eater of Millions will give 11500 Life Points - taking you to 19500 Life Points. Then you can bring out Cyber Stein and activate its effect 3 times to summon all 3 copies of Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon, albeit without their effect from being Fusion Summoned.
From there you can even go on to use Cyber Stein and Gizmek Orochi for Link Summons, Cyber Stein in particular can go in to Link-1 monsters, particularly if it was Normal Summoned.
(See "Salamangreat Almiraj", which can further go into "Secure Gardna")
Good video as always and also happy birthday to you
Top 10 Buster Blader/Destruction Sword cards
Idea for a Top 10: "Common/Weak card effects from MTG/HS/Pkm that would be broken in Yugioh"
Soul Servant doesn’t need to have Dark Magician or DMG in your field or grave specifically. It can be in either players grave or field.
