I appreciate the spectrum of answers in the thread. "This card was bad, but broken later." "This card was always good, it just took the right deck to break it." "This card was okay, but it got much better." "I didn't even read the prompt, here's Sangan and Baronne."

Wow, what a normal Twitter thread with generally good takes. Now to take a big sip of water and look at how long is left in the video.

That epilogue was hysterical, I'm stunned at the amount of cards people didn't know about and thought were found outta nowhere Edit: Holy cow 1k likes in less than a day thank you guys

That's it, every twitter thread video should just be you reading bad posts from literal fetuses like that ending it's too hilarious

"Kashtira Ariseheart wasn't good between it coming off the printers but before being put into packs. We made a real hot discovery with that one."

I wish the post-credits scene was longer than the rest of the video.

God the outtakes at the end are SO good. Motherfuckers exposing the hell outta themselves with some of these replies. Saying Compulse BECAME good with Lab is fucking insanity. Sometimes you can just tell when a person started playing this game on January 18, 2022 exactly.

Surprised no one talked about Neo Spacian Aqua Dolphin. The biggest glow up ever. No only for being a free summon from Connector, but eventually as a Handtrap removal.

The people in the epilogue are either really massive trolls or, are genuinely children who weren't around for the majority of the games life span

To that one guy: There’s a reason we still call a bounce effect a compulse after all these years

Correction: White Dragon Wyverburster and Black Dragon Collapserpent were not in the Dragons Collide structure deck, they came later. They were good immediately, though, because Chaos Dragons was still a decent deck at the time and they were also level 4 extenders during the peak of the rank 4 toolbox era where any deck could be meta if it could put out rank 4s consistently

The Barrier Statues, released on the same set as Instant Fusion. Back then special summoning was actually special. All it takes is one good deck that can search them and summon them consistently in the modern game.

Next time, make a Twitter Thread about clueless opinions. I'm always complaining to Stevie "watch until the end, there's post credits" and that leech still skips it. Watch until the end, people.

you KNOW this is comedy GOLD when it finishes early and the after credits clips are BETTER THAN THE VIDEO xD had me in tears laughing. loved every second of it.

That ending bit was rough. So many people confusing "card *I* thought weren't good at the time" with how well they actually performed. I'll submit Cold Wave, as a card that locks both players out of S/T for a turn was in an entirely different dimension of use in early Yugioh vs how impossibly busted it would be now. It had to be kicked to the forbidden list as soon as they seriously started increasing the game's complexity.

When I saw how quick it took to circle back to the original tweet I knew what was coming next

_All_ if the takes at the end remind me that this is in-fact a children's card game, and basically all of them were like children who didn't know the game existed before 2012 lol

Woah woah woah lets not get all revisionist history up in here, the reason why appointer wasn't played sooner wasn't just that people didn't realize the power of seeing and ripping a card out of your opponents hand, it was because mind crush was pretty objectively the better card. Take a card from your opponents grip 90% of the time, see their hand, and in the worst case you still get the info without having to pay 2k or revealing your hand. Sure it went to grave instead of banish, but usually thats still good enough Problem is that because of a rule change making it so you no longer have to verify hand or decks for effects like mind crush, it became unplayable.

Respect for the fucking Airman ga Taosenai bit. Yet another Common Dire W.

This has the same energy as a similar one of these threads in the past about powerful cards that never saw meta play. People were listing off Trickstar. You know, the deck THAT WON WORLDS.

OCG might've had mystic mine banned faster than TCG, but that format also has this 2:05 card until 2020 for some reason

Tenpai Dragon had us "asking a friend" for Trident Dragion

That ending destroyed me, I haven't been an active yugioh player for some years but I never thought the day I'd see cards like Level eater or Dandylion considered as BAD???? THESE THINGS WERE ALWAYS BROKEN

Ah, it's the Ultimate Slayer incident all over again

I think the best example is Destiny Hero Dark Law, it came out in Legend Of Blue Eyes and sat unused for years, finally Konami lent it a hand with another card that was Terrible™ on release: Elemental Hero Stratos. Eventually those two became stong Tech options in Clownblade, leading to them being banned until this day

When a twitter thread rolls credits with 2 minutes left on the video you KNOW you're in for a banger

the epilogue was the best part of the video, we need more of that

Good to know I was not the only person going fucking insane reading through that thread going no this was good you are just wrong

Yugiboomer here - wyverburster and collapserpent were NOT in the chaos dragon structure deck, they came out as commons in one of the booster packs

Hey guys I missed the twitter thread but I just discovered this neat card called Nibiru the Primal Being and i think it might be good in the future

Yu-Gi-Oh, where cards power up like an anime

I hate that I understood what the thumbnail was referencing

Aqua dolphin was irrelevant for years, then a gouki player who teched it got seated in table 1

Last time I was this early I was playing p.a.c.m.a.n.

I lost every single brain cell I had during that outro I cannot imagine what it must have been live. I respect this man's iron will not to abandon the whole game.

I need a full video of the outtakes, time to check the vods

He's right, downerd was what made me not top nationals in nekroz format. My opponent made Dante into it and put up secret village after tributing a floated scarm for majesty fiend. My tournament was OVER.

I was watching this live and could not believe the sheer amount of “I started playing yugioh when master duel came out” ahh answers in this thread 💀

0:07 The reference 6:31 the montage of cards people thought were bad, but actually saw a lot of play

Alongside smoke grenade is Rod of Silence Kay’est. a purely defensive guardian equip that wasn’t a master of playground formats (like ceal or tryce), or an infinite loop enabler (like Elma). But then people made Vylon combos with it. And *then* it became Smoke Grenade’s partner in crime alongside Power Tool Braver Dragon. Even now it’s a lynchpin in Elemental Hero Visas builds.

the " are you fucking kidding me" outro was almost as long as the video!! ... " yeh, uuhhhhh... Dandylion bad mmmmkay!"

A recent one I’ve seen in the Duel Links space is Vengeful Servant. Upon equip, it does nothing until control of the monster is switched, then it does damage equal to half the original attack. Even in a gimmick strategy, that’s -2 or 3 for some burn damage that you can’t even pump up. Then Duel Links made it into an FTK.

Watching the VoD with the full, unedited version is incredible. Watching Joseph's sanity degrade in real time is just so good.

I feel like we've done this before

I had that stream playing as background sound while I was working from home and half of the responses were terrible. I am so glad some of them made it into the post-credits bit.

Also i guess the poster child is Solemn Judgement, which wasn't even bad on release but was considered bad more due to players' game philosophies.

6:30 I think Tour Guide was "bad" the first few months of its release because she was released in the Synchro era and 1 or 2 sets before XYZs summoning was a thing....afterwards she became an instant staple

The air blade turbo edit killed me 😂. I’m dead in yugioh heaven now, hahahaha.

Fallen of Albaz was a soft-brick who still had utility in hand post structure deck, to a way to ftk Dragon Link even when they ended on their own ftks, to the most central piece of Branded as a deck. Which is really funny when initially, his utility was a bad addition in Dogmtaika decks where you could use him to out some stuff by using his effect to fuse into Titaniklad on turn 5. Similarly, Visas Starfrost wasn't really great up until Manadium came out. I remember some builds of Scareclaw running him to try to make Baronne and some very experimental Tear builds that tried to use him to also make Baronne, but he just wasn't cutting it in either. The fact that those 2 lore boys started out as bad before getting their own dedicated deck really puts into perspective how good Diabellstar is as a card, and really puts a divine fear into my soul when I think about what her eventual dedicated deck will be like.

You should add more like bloopers like what you did at the end of this video in all your other twitter threads video it's really entertaining

Black and white did not come to us in the structure. They were released in bosh, and tbf they were pretty good just didn't have a real home.

The ending was better than the main video 😂

I lost it when you got to Compulsary

I was wondering why this video had two minutes left in it. And then In The Hall of the Mountain King started playing.

Usually the outro bit will go over 1 funny post, but this video had so many that the bit had to be extended 😂

As the line from the 1st episode of Yu-Gi-Oh. My grandfather's deck has no pathetic cards.

The epilogue could have been longer than the actual episode and we could have loved every second. 🤣🤣

I remember running Terraforming and Necrovalley as a package with Cat of Ill Omen to tutor either Last Turn, Wall of Revealing Light, or Solemn Judgement if I had both. Necro incidentally turning off certain strats was just bonus.

ngl the outro was one of the best things on this channel for a long time

The outro is a perfect example of why democracy doesn't work in practice

you know it's gonna be a good montage when hall of the mountain king starts playing

Damn, that compilation at the end. Either everyone was trolling OR they really are that young.

Wait he shrugged off Ancient Fairy Dragon? I thought that card was considered bad because who cares about popping fields, then fields got good.

Red lotus with ariseheart and diabolos was insane and I would usually try and synchro into psyframe and Damm It was wild

Shoutout to Dire for one of the best epilogues and uses of Hall of the Mountain king I've ever seen. Thanks Dire!

I love how there's more wrong answers than right answers.

I got one that probably was mentioned: prohibition. Though I think it’s only applicable if your name is Jeff Lenard

I actually started tweaking with the Cynet Mining take. Lady Debug was around A YEAR EARLIER and it's top 3 targets for it.

"Hang on, this one felt a bit short." *checks time left* Oh boy.

I got to experience how insane Smoke Bomb not too long ago when I found I had the tools to make a deck that loops it 3 times on master duel minus 2 URs. Handripping the opponent for 3 while still retaining 2 monster negates, a quick eff pop, and an end phase pop was just too broken.

I feel like Judgement is the poster child for this. It went from being only played in burn and stall strategies to a mandatory three of around 2007 and 2008 when cards like DAD, Crush Card, and Return from a Different Dimension could end games on the spot.

My mistake for metaverse guys, force of habit forgetting subterror cards exist

Em... Rescue Cat? It was bad until Airbellum got released. XD

Wow, sure seems a lot of people don’t know the viability of older, powerful Yugioh cards! If only there was a series I could watch that brings through the sands of Yu-Gi-Oh’s history that could shed some light on those long forgotten cards.

Surprised i didnt see summoner’s art here. Short printed common (i believe) that had the useless effect of adding a level five or higher normal monster and became a moderately pricey staple overnight when qli gave us a level 5 normal monster that also had an effect that powered their deck like a car engine

How did Aqua Dolphin not show up? It's literally the poster boy for this kind of card, AND a hand rip card!

I need a full video of Bad twitter takes, that end segment was amazing.

The entire Orcust Archetype was treated as pack filler on release despite having a wildly consistent combo in Link decks at the time, and the MOMENT Dingirsu and Climax got spoiled the secret rare Orcustrated Return jumped from a $2 bulk Secret Rare to a $15 must have. In truth the deck was already insanely good, especially the boss monsters that worked wonders in Master Rule 4 due to hitting linked monsters (with aggressive Link Arrows on Orcustrion and Longirsu) with extremely strong removal and negate effects. Dark Warrior Link could very easily full combo when it had all the tools in that narrow window of Grinder Golem, Akashic Magician, Summon Sorc, Isolde, Neo Space Connector and Azathot being legal.

Mushroom Man #2 went from a LittleKuriboh punchline to being Kashtira's out in the mirror.

There's so many cards that fit this. But I've got to hand it to Soul Release. That card has been around since the dawn of time and the day I saw it being in the side and main as a Tactics Thrust target to selectively take the key pieces of your opponent's grave out of the game this year, was an interesting day indeed.

Yo Planet Earthfall?! I fall asleep to this chill track. Props to Dire for picking some solid Kirby music.

Every once in a while, it's good to be reminded that the median MBT viewer is eligible to play in dragon duels

What's the music used in the airblade Turbo segment

What is the song that plays on the air blade turbo meme

this is literally one of my favorite things that happens in yugioh and even in other games. the fans just figure out how to break stuff so that it's too good. it's just always good for a laugh LOL!

Were can I see the uncut vod

A few of those cards I could understand people getting wrong, but Dandy, Called by, and FUTURE FUSION is just insane.

I remember trading off my copy of soul charge back in middle school when it was still legal. I later found out that it was without a doubt the best spell card at the time. By the time I realized this, the friend I traded it to had transferred out so it was impossible for me to get it back before hitting the banlist

Well, that was a good 6 minutes and a half of relatively good takes! Time to enjoy the outro Wait, why is there a minute and a half left

Im just glad i could contribute to the outro

That montage at the end of this video made me feel old man. The amount of people who only started playing post Link summoning is crazy in that twitter threat or they are just joking.

No mentioned about dustshooot I'm surprised and didn't figure it out until when I was in college when the first dw structure deck came out

This game predates me, and I only really got into playing a real format a little after TOSS/Gumblar. I know from trying out older formats that it takes a few games for the mindset to go from “how did anyone win any games with these cards” to “oh I see how this card can be useful.” So it makes since for so many posts to say that a card would have been bad because things we use it for/with now didn’t exist then. And then we try our best to post anyway.

Can someone explain what people were playing AFD in before Field Spell control? I’m actually not familiar with that.

Alot of Gen-1 Normies released back in the 2000s, which would come up again because they had the right statline necessary to perform/break a combo, as a Garnet. Dark Witch being used as Brilliant Fusion fodder to then be added back to hand with Lazuli for you to tribute over your Seraphanite. This would out a Monarch Domain lock even through Rivalry of Warlords.

Terraforming's only getting stronger now with 2023 onward fields spells now being "stratos-in-a-can with two extra continuous effects slapped onto it" 5:19 Millenium-Eyes restrict can also eat ash blossom, which is really nice going first

hey vod frogs, how did he react to block dragon

to be fair to metaverse, it was never really bad, but it was a worse terraforming until Mystic mine showed up

4:32 dire with the top shelf deep cut

Giant trunade was busted. Like Alright on my turn I'm gonna bounce your back row and then I'm going to attack with all my monsters. *Player 2 returns mirror force and magical cylinder to hand*
