Even as an 11-year-old who loved the Elemental Heroes, I couldn't understand why I'd use Hero Barrier and not Negate Attack or Magic Cylinder. That's how bad it is.

Who needs Cowboy for game when you got Clay Charge for game

*sees spark blaster as the best card on the list* im going to need a drink for this one

Top 10 cards that only were used in the anime as plot contrievences to let jaden win

To add insult to injury with Burst Return, the anime exclusive card "Burst Impact", was an actually good board-wipe card that required Burstinatrix but was never released.

These cards have amazing synergy with GX Plot Armor.

ya know... alot of these cards effects would be better as monster effects of a retrained version of the monster they're used on

but CLEARLY burst return is the best card on the list because its essentially a non-destruction board wipe in an E-hero mirror match

I like how you used both of Burstinatrix card arts, since one was a tad too spicy for kids.

In the anime, Burst Return was used because of one time when Jaden's Avian and Sparkman were stolen from his field to his opponent's field, and he summoned Burstinatrix to add them back to his hand and then attacked the monster that stole the other Heroes afterwards and also some bullcrap effects only working on male monsters or something.

5:41 1.Normal summon Avian 2.use scapegoat 3.use feather shot 4.equip Avian with united we stand BOOM! Chimeratech Overdragon

12:13 You could have just said "You see, when Bubbleman battles with Bubble Blaster, he doesn't burst, his weapon does!"

If you use JAR OF GREED as a positive, you know you got a horrible card

Wow wow are we just gonna gloss over how this man pronounced burstinatrix??

OR, if all your Elemental HERO monsters had Maiden counters on them and were beating the shit out of you. And you were Jaden Yuki. So potentially pretty situational, really.

In this case they’re zeroes, not heroes. In all seriousness, when you have 50+ cards in your archetype, it’s not at all surprising when a lot of the cards are BS, especially given that they were meant to headline a protagonist archetype, which is naturally full of BS consistency, in a format where they were desperately trying to push fusion spam as the dominant format.

Before I forget, big thanks to House of Champs for this videos idea!

Did this man really just explain NEGATE ATTACK?!

Bro I’m so glad I subscribed to you. Your videos literally make my day enjoyable

Love these videos featuring older cards, hope we get to see more :D

In defense of Hero Barrier. It doesn't target. So sometimes its come in handy when stuck against a monster that can't be targeted by card effects

Terra Firma Gravity says all the enemy's monsters that can attack must, so you do force them to destroy themselves unless they are immune to being destroyed by battle.

Yo dawg, Burst Return is a linchpin in the HERO mirror match to clear your opponent's field! Just like Ojamusicle! Kek

Terra Firma Gravity does force the monsters to attack; look at the rulings page on the wiki. This does not make it much better though.

Burst return might have actually been somewhat useful had they made it a quick spell

100k celebration video: Ranking ALL Hero cards from worst to best

There's an XYZ monster that can be activated "thrice per turn", I think it'd the Coach Captain Bearman rank 8 guy or whatever lol

You should do a whole list on Bad Archetypes. I'm sure there's lots of gold in that mine.

The alternate title to this video is "Why people only play Omni-HEROes and Masked HEROes."

Two Things: Hero Barrier doesn't target a monster to negate an attack and can be activated at any point in the turn, rather than at the time of attack, this actually makes it better than cards like Magic Cylinder or Draining Shield in certain situations but still a lot worse than other cards that negate attacks without targeting like Threatening Roar. Feather Shot can be used in conjunction with Hero Mask to give big Elemental Heroes you control the name of Avian and then attack equal to the number of monsters like he can (and as you say, you can activate it and then get rid of the smaller E Heroes through fusion/link/xyz/synchro/tribute/etc. Other than that, pretty spot on for how bad the cards are, fun video.

Neo Bubbleman is a fusion monster in the anime Y-yeah,for some reason...

Do one on Blackwings. I swear you could make an entire FADE deck out of F tier Blackwings as a gag.

You can use Prisma effect for copying Avian's name and use feather shot on it and in Mp2 you can fuse Prisma with Avian's name with Burstinatrix or idk, but this stills a too specific card effect

Elemental hero knospe is pretty good. If you have two of them on the field your opponent can’t target either of them for attacks and they both can attack directly each turn

So glad you did this list, I used Hero Negate card in duel links bc I don’t have the other good trap cards but now I’ll take it out of my deck

Imagine an E HERO Bubbleman retrain with the effects of Bubble Shuffle and Bubble Blaster

I imagine this list was exponentially more difficult than listing the best HERO cards.

2:53 the manga effect for Terra Firma Gravity was much better, in there it switches all face up level 4 or lower monsters your opponent controls into attack position and forced them to attack Terra Firma

I’m very surprised that you didn’t mention waking the dragon when talking about alternatives to hero medal.

Feather shot is actually useful if you have a High attack hero monster and hero mask in your hand you can send avian to the graveyard and your fusion monsters name will be avian and then you could attack multiple times.

Hero Barrier actually has something that other attack stopping attacks don't have: you can activate it at the start/before the battle phase, and it will keep going regardless of your field state. This peculiarity saved me a few times in Duel Links, due to Ancient Gear running full power and preventing any other battle trap to properly work, but I agree that in any other case it's very poor

0:40 Mare Mare can also be used "up to three time".

I'd definitely be interested in more Hero vids, regardless of what they're about. Maybe the best Hero cards, something about their ton of fusion cards or different kinds of heroes.

Nice video, are you doing more top 10 for different archetypes?

The card at number 1 actually has the potential to become useful... if in the future a card with the effect to change the names of monsters you control gets released, then you could potentially have Exodia pieces on the board or something, change their names to elemental heros, and use that card to return them to your hand to win... But I really doubt this card will ever be used for that 😟

I think it be cool to see a top 10 Unique Archetypes. Decks that have cool ways to play the game even if they sucked or no one decided not to try and play them

The spicefic hero cards you can use them with strong monsters with a card called hero mask

Use Bubble Shuffle as such: Your opponent has an Attack Position monster on the field, and you have Bubbleman, Bladedge and Bubble Shuffle in your hand, and it's your turn. Normal Summon Bubbleman (with 800 ATK, it bypasses most Trap cards that destroy Normal Summoned monsters). Activate Bubble Shuffle right after to switch your opponent's monster and Bubbleman to Defense Position. Tribute Bubbleman to Special Summon Bladedge. (As a Special Summon, it bypasses most Trap cards that destroy Summoned Monsters) For Feather shot, use a combo of Skyscraper and Megamorph on Avian to give it 2000-3000 ATK during your Battle phase. Now you have a high-ATK beatstick that can attack as many of your opponent's monsters as you have monsters on your field, AND it'll have 2000 ATK during your opponent's turn.

Now Top 10 Best HERO Cards?

This man just pronounced Burstinatrix worse than anyone that has ever pronounced my name.

I think at the time Burst Return was meant as a mirror match card, as it also got rid of the opponent's E-HEROs...

The last part of the Effect Text of neo-bubbleman is wrong, but other than that: Great Video!

Wow using the uncensored japanse version burstinatrix, too lewd for me

You could make a top 50 of worst Hero cards What other archetype has so many cards and still sucks? Not many

Nice vid DuelLogs!

I'm genuinely amazed that Hero Flash didn't make the list. But man, Anime Jaden just had a lot of stinkers in his deck.

Burst Return in the side for mirror matches, 13 years ago

Love the way you say "Burstinatrix"

I wonder what Jaden thought when he Saw this video

I actually love that you specifically say the names of certain cards wrong, like Knospe and Burstinatrix.

Mare Mare and Giant Coach also have trice per turn effects.

Number one only really has application in the mirror match, since it’s the entire field, not just your own. Still not good by any stretch of the imagination, but it in theory has a single use that might happen if E Heroes become the main Meta. Likely? No. Possible? Maybe.

Number 80: Rhapsody in Berserk's effect can be activated exactly twice per turn, so kinda similar.

really what'll be cool if you did a best and worst list of hero cards that list a specific hero monster to use it's effect

I don't think Hero Medal is part of the HERO archetype though.

RIP my favorite archetype

Burst return says it returns all elemental heroes, including your opponents. So it has a bit more use I guess? Like maybe in a mirror match E-Hero duel. I think it was used in the anime when Jaden’s monsters were stolen from him to bring them back to his hand.

After reading Burst return, it actually has a specific situation where the effect is good. In the mirror match, if your opponent has a lot of elemental hero monsters, it'll return all other elemental heroes besides burstinatrix. So if your opponent has a field full of elemental heroes, they get sent to the hand.

Still hoping for a remake of the Elemental Heroes archetype that will never come

This whole time I called her "Bur sin a trix" I blame the show lowl Burstinatrix makes more sense

So... Back in the good old synchro days, I actually ran a neos/hero fusion deck that ran 3 knospe. The whole idea was to whip out a neos fusion and a knospe or 2 to keep the damage packing on while keeping any powerful monsters at bay, main tactic was flare neos.

this is kinda a personal challenge for the sake of my childhood wide eyed nostalgia do you think you could make a singular deck that is able to use all of the gx era super specific hero support cards? as a kid i always thought they were really really cool (for whatever reason) and id love to see them all in one place

I was expecting HERO Flash to be on this list.

Her name is burs- -tina-trix

Can someone please explain the text on Terra Firma Gravity? Reading the card, it sounds like TDL might have it wrong. I think it's saying that level 4 or lower monsters have to attack Elemental HERO Terra Firma unless they have some sort of restriction that says they can't, in which case they can't attack at all.

I have an idea for a video. I think you should talk about the deck masters just like you talked about the god cards anime effects. I took a skin through your vids but didn't see anything like it. I hope you see this to make you consider that idea

Burst Return seems to be meant to be used in a mirror match... Jeez... Waste of great artwork.

Top 10 anime cards yet to be released

I actually used Burst Return sometimes in the WC 2008 game. Bounces your single copy of Stratos. I could see a similar thing happening with Shadow Mist . Not saying it's a good card, but it does have some uses. Also, insert mirror match comment

Polymer Mask: Once per turn during your main phase, if you control a face up "Hero" monster, you can add this card to your hand, from your deck, by sending one polymerization, dark fusion or mask change spell card to the grave yard. This card can be used to fusion summon one "Elemental Hero" fusion monster using materials you control or in your hand as fusion materials. Once per turn while this card is in your GY, (Quick effect), you can banish this card then send one hero monster you control to the GY to summon one "Masked Hero" fusion monster that has the same attribute as that card in the GY. This summon is treat as a fusion summon. This is the kind of support the Elemental Hero archetype needs cause it's my favorite AT, and it needs something that isnt to broken but just border line. The E. Hero just need a push to make it more competitive and excell at going first, even when second is a more advantages start for the E. Hero AT.

Burst Return had a partner card in the anime called Burst Impact, where if you control a Burstinatrix, all monsters except Burstinatrix are destroyed on the field. So you were supposed to use Burst Return to return all your monsters to keep them safe, and then use Burst Impact to wipe the field; sadly, Burst Impact was never made into an actual card.

I bet a lot of elemental heroes will be on this list.

Hero medal made me think of Artifacts and Waking the Dragon, and how we could use more back row that does stuff when destroyed. Battle traps might stand a chance if those traps are common enough.

This really makes me want to do a HERO top 10.

Ha! Suck it, Judai/Jaden. Not a single Destiny HERO, Vision HERO or Masked HERO card made this list.

Oh my lord. I'm having a heart attack from how you are pronouncing these name.

Thanks dude because I was getting frustrated with that rose

In Bubble Shuffle's defense the Episode where he first used it, along with debuts from Bubbleman himself and Bladedge, the way it was played was pretty neat! And that's coming from someone who plays Archfiends and Destiny HERO Fusion! Plus, with most of those Monster specific cards, the Monster in question is easy to Summon, being either Lv 3 or Lv 4 and are a piece of piss to Search, so... I would argue they're easier to get off than one Card which, after Clay Charge, I honestly thought you were going to include: Edge Hammer, which requires the Lv 7 Bladedge to be on the Field and to be Tributed for its Destroy and, albeit can be pretty, hefty Burn!

When you asked if we knew archetypes, did you remember that Blackwings existed?

Technically, Hero Medal isn't even a "HERO" card

Feather shot can Be randomly comboéd with Hero mask in order to make a good hero fussion monster name "elemental hero avian and Kind of make an all out attack But it requires basically a set up that dosn´t have any search out cards... and since Hero mask is normal spell it can backfire with ease sorry for commenting.... pointing that out

Burst return is used in combo with the card Burst impact.(when you have elemental hero burstinatrix on the field you can activate this card and destroy every monster on the field except burstinatrix and then the owner of the destroyed monster takes 300 LP) Sorry if my english is bad...

12:52 actually I believe it's called burstinifuck

1:31 "a card with 800 *defense*" Just pointing it out, don't mean any harm.

terra firm gravity actually forces those monsters to attack your terra firma. I think the wording is there to make rulings with poison rose make sense. (i.e. the thumbnail lady for this vid)

Hero barrier is better than it looks imo. You can use it during main phase 1, which means you can dodge ancient gears effects during battle phase. But still not a good card

BurstiNAYtrix...🤨🤨🤨😑😑🤦🏾‍♂️

a lot of these cards are from the earliest days of HERO decks

I don't know is this better or not but you can use Hero Mask to make Spark Blaster, Bubble Shuffle and Feather Shot a little bit more viable.

Thanks for the uncesnored version fo the card
