I remember i used the card "Self destruct button" a lot in the yugioh videogame "Nightmare troubadour" so i could see the special dialogs the characters had when a duel finished in a tie.

Konami: "Hey so we added these new Xyz monsters to the game haha they're pretty neat so it would be pretty cool if you guys gave them a try ok." Konami March 2012: "I am no longer asking. Play Xyz."

RIP Call of the Haunted, used to be a staple card in almost every deck imaginable, oh how the mighty have fallen.

it makes me sad when people mention "slow cards", it just makes me miss slow yugioh

Victory dragon had a judge ruling stating, " if VD is one board and the game state showed a match win can happen, then the forfeit will still result in a match win." This was to attempt to solve the forfeit issue which only resulted in players forfeiting before the point that gamestate could happen. It created this bluff scenario where unlike Nibiru, where the game could continue, it was a forfeit early or you get a match loss. It's obvious why Konami didn't want that

I'm actually pretty sad that you didn't mention that one of the reasons why United We Stand was banned was because of the Scapegoat format. Activate Scapegoat at the end of the opponent's turn, summon Injection Fairy Lily then attack for nearly game.

10 cards that were banned because of other cards.

I'll never understand why Injection *FAIRY* Lily is a Spellcaster...

United we stand back in the day was nice but backfire on me sometimes. Me: blue eyes equip with United we stand with three other monsters making my blue eyes 6200 attack. Friend: magic cylinder Me: say what...

Top 10 Strongest Trap Cards

Injection Fairy Lily was also used competitively during the qli format to run over towers.

Another part to Fairy Lily that made it good was that it was a great card in both stall decks and anti-stall decks. This was because the most common stall cards were Messenger of Peace and Gravity Bind: Fairy Lily is level 3, and the effect applies after it declares an attack, so it got around both.

Injection Fairy Liliy's effect was also really strong for the fact that it took place at the last possible step before damage calculations, which let it always go after stuff like Honest or any battle traps or the like as it went the battle step after those cards could be used, but before monsters got destroyed. It is the only card of its kind that I know of that breaks the rules when it comes to effects that activate during monster battles.

When I saw spore I thought it was a watapon and I was very confused

Before self-destruction button ban: you either let me win with my stall deck or we play for eternity. After: sad troll noises

In summary: yugioh’s power creep has run rampant.

Out of these mistranslated unoficial cards you find around, is based of Victory Draagon, and my friend had one: "When this attacking card reduces your opponent's life points to 0, you win the duel". Instead the match, the duel.

7:45 DRAW, MONSTA CARDO!!!

Top 10 monsters with lvl 4 or less that cannot be normal summoned or set from main deck

i'd like to point out that in march 2004 there were no banned cards, first official banned cards ever were in september 2004. injection fairy lily was banned for the 2004 world championship tournament in august, and only in that event

One of the big factors (from what my elderly brain can recall) for the Magician of Faith ban was also that it was in the thick of the Chaos meta and about the only thing reigning Chaos in was that we had jack crap for good light monsters, but people were getting by with basically just MoF as their only Light because Apprentice could get her out and in the graveyard so reliably.

I kinda wonder who thought Self-Destruct Button was a good Idea at this point.

"The game has evolved to a state where Trap cards [aren't used]" Many would say that's less "evolved" and more "degraded and degenerated" or maybe "decomposed". Personally, I like that _"just_ slow enough" state mentioned in Breaker's entry. Not the SUPER slow original days, but not the "every duel is OTK" speed.

Imagine the button errata: Make both players LP 0, but yours first...

Let's be honest here We were all hurt when we had to remove all the good cards out of our decks when we first discovered the ban list.

Have you done a "weirdest reasons for being banned" list?

Top 10 best - 1 cards like that grass looks greener and foolish burial

Actually, now United we stand has a possible maximum 4,800 atk increase with the introduction of the Extra monster zones for link and extra deck monsters.

0:18 Hey Joey, Watap- *Oh wait, that's spore...*

I just wanna say, you have a really soothing voice which makes the video more pleasing. I also appreciate you explaining some of the more “out there” card effects and and the like, for someone that left after gx and tried to come back after xyzs some of the newer stuff flies right over my head. Thank you my friend.

I was one of those people who ran Self-destruct Button, but mainly because I played a reverse heal deck and it was funny to suddenly Gift Card my opponent and turn around and tie the game. Was better than taking a loss, lol.

It's funny how 8 of these cards go from extremely broken to unplayable garbage because of the power creep.

there’s a mistake in the description, magician of faith is shown to be at number 7 instead of call of the haunted

I was surprised by United we stand! I remember seeing it on the limited list but never knew it was banned! Love these videos btw so keep up the good work 😄

I loved equipping United We Stand to a Scapegoat

They dont know how powerful united we stand back in the days. That single card can boost upto 4k atk in 1 turn and + 800 atk was a big deal during those times.

I remember a time where call of the haunted was banned and our lovely, stronger spellcardversion that even can revive a monster from the enemy graveyard wqs just limited somehow.

I really love this videos and the nostalgia that comes up is amazing. Please, don't stop

Thanks for using my suggestion! Love your channel :D

Day 15 of asking for top ten worst fusion spells

7:45 *Sees Breaker instantly thinks of Berserker Soul*

Konami is hilarious. Releases a new summoning mechanic, heavily hits the previous mechanic to promote new mechanic then complains and tries to fix old mechanic to show 'its still viable'. No, it's not. You killed it with bans and power creeping it with your new toy.

very nice , love it how about top 10 or 5 decks that sees success on the current format ,

Just about every card on this list is actually pretty good, and most are now off the banlist solely because of power creep and the fact that games are so quick now that even waiting one turn for a trap card to go active is too slow. It is bloody ridiculous XD

Top 10 monsters that deal piercing damage.

what's funny is that Mirror Force hasn't been released yet in Duel Links, but the stronger *Drowning* Mirror Force has

I just found a comment suggesting it yesterday lol. Top 10 Spell/Trap-focused Archetypes (Greed, Solemn, Mirror Force, Virus, Bamboo Sword, Trap Hole, etc)

Mirror Force got banned because someone saw how devastating it was to Wevills lifepoints in the anime

this video made me feel old because I'm still kinda stuck in 2007 and hearing mirror force, united we stand, and breaker the magical warrior aren't super cool anymore is aging me

Really cool list!

Man Injection Fairy Lilly was so much fun to use back in those days. I treasured that card like crazy

I get it. An archtype about flipping is pretty SET to their archtype!

Playing competitively at the time of Victory Dragon, the ruling was that a player could not technically concede during their opponent’s turn; although no one really applied it unless Victory Dragon was involved. The thing was a judging nightmare, though, and I feel like that was the true reason for its ban. Also, there was a Self-Destruct Button deck that saw a little play: it won by using Button to tie game after game, and then sided into 15 cards of burn right before time was called. So you’d have a match finish of something like 1-0-11 or so. Not super successful, but not something they wanted running around, either.

Thank you for making great videos learn more and I appreciate it thanks

I got banned from Dueling Network for playing a dedicated self destruct button deck. The judge was called twice after the game reached 0W-1L-21D. He couldn't outright ban me the first time because I had a win condition between my main and side deck (exodia/final countdown). In the end, he came back at after the 25th draw and gave my opponent the win.

1:37 that magician card belongs to 2 archetypes, i'm mind blown.

Self-Destruct Button isn't even so much a weak card it literally breaks the game because it's just an unplayable entity for tournaments. It's the same reason "you win the match" cards are banned. If it just said you win the duel it MIGHT be ok

My favorite part about Call of the Haunted was all of the archetypal versions of it that were almost exactly the same but with a slightly more specific target, like Birthright for Normal Monsters or that one Amazoness version that also forces the monster to attack.

Awesome video keep up the good work

Top 10 "shuffle from the field to the deck" effects"

For how powerful mirror force was I thought it wasn’t real back in the day until my cusion pulled one in front of me

Interestingly the reason you cite for Self Destruct Button is somewhat similar to the card Shahrazad in Magic the Gathering has the distinction of being one of (in fact I'm certain THE ONLY) card banned in the Vintage format that was never part of a joke set or other card printed to be non legal from the get go. Vintage itself is distinct in being the one format to restrict rather than ban cards that are banned in other formats. The card's effect basically has players take their remaining decks, leave the current game as is otherwise, and play a subgame at the end of which the players who don't win lose half their life. The card is banned purely for how it draws out games especially if during the subgame another Shahrazad gets played creating subgames within subgames.

Im new on your channel , and i love it, already suscribed, you have a video for Top 10 Best Synchro Themed Decks?

Top 10 cards that are good in other archetypes except their own.

Nice rhyme:mystical space typhoon smashing grounds book of moon

Gosh this list made me feel old. I remember using most of these cards in those formats while I was in high school. Chaos decks were the rage. . . Good times, good times.

I remember using self-destruct button with my bad reaction to simochi deck if I couldn't get the right cards, but did get my giftcards or other cards to raise opponents lifepoints. Still wasn't that great a deck back in the day but it was fun (for me using it at least) to have the an option of "If I don't think I can win, at least I can not lose."

Yo who else though breaker’s mouth was a giant eye until the anime showed it with “monster cardo!”

11:00 not necessarily true. IFL was also used to out towers turbo until we got s39 or diamond crab king.

Great vid.

Great video

Drowning Mirror is actually in Duel Links right now.

2:40 It doesn't destroy randomly, it destroys the monster with highest DEF.

Injection Fairy Lily used to be crazy back in the day lol. More recently I built a Burning Abyss deck for casual play with friends and threw it in just for a fun level 3 monster and it would lowkey stomp people lol.

part of fairy lilly's power was being able to avoid popular stat-based removal of the time like trap hole/fissure/hammer shot also the low investment to bring it out

Top ten handsome monsters

What about top 10 best OTK?

Why I like Duel Links is mainly cause it feels like a nice blend of old and new. It's just fast enough to not feel slow but slow enough to not always get OTK'd

Back when I used to play I hated when in the late stages of the duel your opponent would use equip cards like united we stand to buff up a monster. Since you already exhausted all your resources there was little you could do.

Top 5 cards that has a better effect in printed then in anime

I'm not sure what would go on it but top 10 "win more" card?

I still use Lily along with cards that prevent special summons and cards that prevent grave effects. Actually a lot of these cards are still good in anti-meta decks that locks players into playing with old school rules. Of course I use upgraded versions of classic cards if they exist such as the newer mirror force cards. I usually equip United We Stand to cards like Jinzo, or get Dark Simorge out then flip anti spell fragrance (sometimes protecting him with safe zone). I use judgement and strike, as well as compulsory, I also use card guard to protect things like Swords of Revealing Light, Safe Zone and united we stand. I mainly use Air Hummingbird as a life point security net, and if I get in trouble I use Switcharoo (which is the only viable replacement for snatch steal I've seen so far). It's a slow deck but it works, I'm upgrading it as I learn more about the newer cards. (Old school player coming back after a long time). I'm thinking about adding Evenly Matched to the deck, or a similar hand trap that can prevent Flood/OTKs.

Man, I played Yu-Gi-Oh back when the Extra Deck was called Fusion Deck, vanilla monsters were still important, and traps were a good idea... This channel makes me feel old.

3:30 "Its still not even released in duel links" " *Are you sure about that* "

Top 10 cards to cure erectile dysfunction

So nostalgic and chill :3

Watching this and remembering the Raviel Beatdown deck i made back when the Sacred Beasts deck was released. I had a plan to swing a max of 6 times with 44,600 atk and piercing. 4,000 base, +3,000 mage power w/ 6 s/t, +14,400 3x united we stand w/ 6 monsters, +400 & piercing Big bang shot, +500 archfiend palabyrinth/mystic plasma zone, =22,300 total x2 w/ Shimmering Scraper =44,600 x6 attacks if opp has full board =267,600 total possible damage.

2:17 hey, i just pulled those cards in toon chaos recently.

And time seal?

Self Destruct Button is probably one of the stronger cards as a draw gets you out of a lost game and you can retry your otk in certain decks that give you the lp differential such as reversal quiz. Also it finishes off three game matches the easy way if you pull the otk off in game 1.

Call of the Haunted is one of my best cards. Back in school when I dueled against friends, Call of the Haunted was a card that was always in my deck. One of my signature cards. I still love using that card.

Konami makes Self-destruct Button and then gets upset that people use it and you're somehow playing the game wrong by using it.

Pfffftttt they will never ban Mokey Mokey, they to afraid of him.

You forgot Pot of Greed (Edit): Also do a top 10 best or worst pendulum monsters...I really love pendulum monster and you can include extra deck pendulum monster.

I remember when Magician of Faith was on the ban list and I was calling to get it unlimited. I hated it when people disagreed, "BrEh u CaN rEuSe BoOk oF moON"

"In the TCG you can surrender at any point" So you can't do that in the OCG?

u switched magician of faith and call of the haunted in the timestamps :)

Hayabusa Knight and armed samurai were the shit with United we stand and scapegoat back in the day. At least in the schoolyard.

Self Destruct Button. Shoutouts to Merovingian from the Pojo forums. You killed it with your build.
