That card is a national treasure.

Don’t even get me started on The Fiend Megacyber. The dude is neither Fiend, Machine, nor Cyberse. He’s a Warrior. What a liar

and of course now on tcgplayer its $2 or $4 depending on the printing, quite possibly due to being in this video.

@@mayayamato7351 it's exactly cause of this video, it went from 80 cents in March 13th, to 1.50 March 14th and it's slightly gone up since.

I am literally building an Adamancipator deck for the first time just to play this card lmao

As a remaininh chronomaly player in edopro...well thats just casual for me. SS moai from hand. Am i a divine being?

@@Dz73zxxxI played Chronomaly Machu Mech OTK for a spell, but that was before emojis made a meme of the Easter Island head.

Kaminari Attack too. I was gonna reply to the tweet with it but it was, obviously, because of instant fusion, so no point.

Rare fish in Kragen

I was playing 3 ready fusion paired with Dragoness the wicked Knight in my Phantom Knights deck as an extender. You can also special Takentomborg if you draw it, as Dragoness is a wind type.

And those oldass fusions still saw more play than the strongest monster of 2017.

Dragoness the Wicked was cracked in Gouki Knightmare because it was level 3, warrior, and wind, so it worked with taketomborg, invoker, and isolde

Also can make the level 8s synchro which is great

It was rhe best tuner handsdown

But is not a rock monster(?) did I miss something?

@@baldpdeng2035 I've heard they spend all their time playing blackwing (minimum rarity of course) mirror matches in edison format

@@Raminator243 its just delightful to see someone trying to insult others by assuming how much money they've spent on cardboard

@@baldpdeng2035 you're in it

Yeah, they nerfed magical hats by adding an extra line to s/t. It's real.

@S V Also, if it's an Equip card, or somehow becomes an Equip card, it can be destroyed by game mechanics if its equipped monster is destroyed. …I dunno if there's actually any effects that allow you to treat a non-Equip S/T (except itself) as an Equip, but it could just be future-proofing.

Yes this play was insane in 2007.

Also used in harpies to go plus 3 off of harpie sign

You could just play a second Geartown over it too, since that used to destroy field spells.

literally play swordsoul ftk long boi burn go brrrr

Or play Trains and dump a Gustav on them

trickstars for the starchips

... if Dualist kingdom used normal YGO rules, sure

2 Ookazi then 2 Sparks

Flamvell Guard still sees occasional play whenever Carboneddon is involved.

It also saw play in Blue Eyes at one point as a target for both Cards of Consonance and Azure Eyes

Has Flamvell Guard not always had a place in Dragon Synchro decks (back before Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon was erratad)?

You and me both man! Seriously, I hate internet polls. Cause we clearly will never get good shit for decks that even did remotely well!

because the host is a hero player

The point is kinda Neos Alius wasnt entirely carried by GSpark. After the Destiny engine drop offs, Alius is by proxy the best target for a long time and theres a massive chasm between Alius/Stratos and the rest. Helps that theres multiple time up to late 5d where simply being a normal 1900 is unironically good since it trades to TKRO which Stratos is helpless against and Hero Blast basically had Alius written on its name. The card was solid without Spark. Spark push it into the most well supported card in the entire game from a competitive standpoint

Older formats man, it legit was the only way to play heros till shadowmist came out unless you played the lvl 3 vanilla's with a lot of a lot of polymerization cards which was booty.

lv 4, 1900 atk, hero in his name, is a light and is a gemini. You could use gemini spark, honest and hero stuff with it.

@@Arthas35788 the point is the card itself doesn't do jack shit, the stars just align on it being able to benefit from tons of support from favored archetypes and attributes.

Pendulum storm was legitimately good in any meta where most people are playing pendulums. Even up to when electrumite was out and magician's took over for the 3rd time.

That may be true, but that's not nearly as strong as the opponent instascooping from the disrespect that is summoning the easter island head.

Well, all your syncros have been meta at some point. Even the new one, it's pretty good in all kinds of syncro decks. My Crystal Beast deck adores being able to slam it down on turn 2.

I am so sorry

Must be happy now

@@twoscarabsintheswarm9055 Extremely. The new support is absolutely insane!

Could you explain the combo with Luster Dragon?

@@alonsoarana5307 there's no combo. it's just an out to the wind barrier statue that 60-card piles have started running in conjunction with Unexpected Dai

Which format specifically? I own a copy in real life and always saw it as worthlessly fun.

God the 2016 BA ED was a WASTELAND.

@@valutaatoaofunknownelement197 BA can make it with giga brilliant and then use its effect to spin enemy dante in the mirror match.

@@luminous3558 Nice. In today's game, I run it in a digital bug beetrooper deck on Edopro. Coincidentally, my extra also runs a single giga brilliant an easy R3 when I have nothing better.

Darklords played it with the Terrortop engine at one point '.'

and thinning your deck, I guess

Lapis Lazuli is the type of stone.

Yea steam gyro if got banned back in the day for being way ahead of its time with it’s innovative effects

@@CrashHeelin I see you too are duelists of culture, having perused the vintage that is the "Ancestry of the Meritless". Good to see.

"I enter the Scoop Phase"

No one was summoning chanbara in dino. That deck, and aeolo in particular, is the whole reason denglong was banned.

The vod had Aeolo and a few more cards, you can check it in the vod if you want.

@@Andy_ARBS oh thank you! i sure will.

@@Andy_ARBS which vod?

@@GeneralNickles you have no idea how many games chanbara has won me in dino.

well, as much as it hurts to say: that errata was overdue

Yeah, and in the 2015 World Championship they also played Rigel because it can out Nekroz Unicore. In fact I remember tyat card won a game against Nekroz in the final match to make Tellarknights the World Champion of that year.

Yeeeeeessssss! I played Luster Plush Clownblade with Masked Chameleon and the Brilliant engine, and although the typical play was to Pendulum summon Chameleon, the effect was game-determinative at times with Garnet.

aqua dolphin is just a good card , it still sees tournament play in the rogue infernoble deck

@@Marcusjnmc Was it good in the GX days with DAD running around?

@@runningoncylinders3829 why does that matter ?

@@Marcusjnmc The video this thread is on is all about cards that became good because the stars aligned for them, and they found a deck you could bring to Nats. I don't remember Aqua Dolphin being too incredible till like five years back. Iirc Grand Mole was the only Spacian worth its initial cred.

@@runningoncylinders3829 it's awful cards that are objectively bad that were good one time, dolphin has been good ever since isolde released and a warrior normal summon that ripped ash blossom became relevant, which is an objectively strong interaction, and it's remained about as good for half a decade.

Oh god i remember that format, was so funny watching this awful card spike in price

I still have one...

Although not super meta, Genex Ally Crusher became a center for a control deck that was just it and a pile of good dark cards.

Pre Trick Clown Shaddolls were something else

I remember those days lmao, OG shaddoll was a different breed. People would just put in cards that they liked or thought would be occasionally good. I remember seeing a light of Lightsworn Shaddolls, since the lightsworn milling shaddolls gave you effects and the shaddoll fusion could send wulf/felis for its effect. It was so bad, but when the pieces lined up it looked borderline competent.

@@TromboneMaster95 I swear it's like folks forget all the good light monsters we already ran. My first build of Shaddolls back in the day used Collapserpent Wyverburster and Eclipse Wyvern.

I remember playing 1 Lightsworn wulf, 2 Dawn knight. Dawn knight to recycle the wulf by making it CL2 after Squamata or Hedgehog and if i drew it i'd summon it to send the wulf or make a rank 4 with the wulf i sent off of shaddoll fusion

We were on some copium with some of these early Shaddoll builds lol glad I'm not the only one.

that was exactly why it was played in Hazy cause you would use 3 convocation 3 Tefnuit as a free body for tribute summons

SKDSV giving monsters piercing has won me more than one game in MD against Crooked Cook.

@@ecreiP yeah but the first time I saw it happen I read like 4 cards before I found out where the piercing came from. Utterly bizarre but quite welcome.

what the hell is SKDSV?

@@stupiddog321 Supreme King Dragon Starving Venom

stratos effect to destroy spell and trap cards. Macro cosmos to summon heliod from deck

HMMM!

Photon thrasher use to be a decent card tho. He's talking about cards that where never good at all.

@S V yes, if they had gung in hand they were destruction immune and if they had Trish they were targeting immune

@S V the mirror was really fun but yeah playing against Nekroz with a non-Qliphort deck really sucked, especially pre-Djinn ban

OCG decks be wildin

Some people did mention Trigon. It just wasn't included in the video.

Book of Eclipse aged pretty well, NGL.

@Joan Aguayo Planell Eh, it's okay. This comment was made far before Kashira's bullshittery, and at this point, it's really just there since a huge amount of other hate cards don't do much against the deck.

HOOOOAHHHHHHHHHHH

Well, that one was a staple during most of the GX era, so it doesn't really count.

There were also arguments that it was better, since it protected for the rest of the turn instead of just once. It was insane if they dropped Raigeki or similar before summoning their Zoo. It also didn't destroy their card, so it was less good AGAINST Drident. Well, except for that they couldn't My Body your My Body... That format was so much fun and the tech choices were crazy.

Finally a tech against Scrap Crystons

She may be more annoyed that she cannot cast any magic, and so has to resort to using a spear

Not only was I right the deck that won the incredibly prestigious Australian WCQ ran it. Fucking hell.

2 card combo with Machine Duplication? In b4 buyout

Yeah I remember the cats ear tribe thing, my friend would play it. I don't think it ever saw competitive success because it was just too bad, but it was still really funny.

Airbellum was a tuner that ripped cards out of your opponents hand on top of being a decent sized body in its own right. Wouldn’t exactly call it penis quality. Samnite was a searcher for glads so not all that penis quality either. You wouldn’t run the two in the same deck. I’ll give you cat’s ear tribe though that shit is lookin like straight up dick for fire fist format.

I think cat's ear tribe was an out to towers but I don't remember what decks were playing tenki then.

For playing Goat/Reaper Format, I love using 3-Hump Lacooda and Wicked Worm Beast as Rescue Cat targets. The copium play is to go Cat -> 2 Lacoodas, Last Will to summon 2nd Cat -> last Lacooda and Worm Beast. Tribute 2 Lacoodas to draw 3, and during End Phase you get the Worm Beast back in your hand before it dies to Cat’s effect.

My friend playing Kozmo got savaged at regionals by a BA player that used Doomdog Octhros to search Norleras

I'm not sure it's possible for a fucking Norleras turbo deck to not be an absolute mess

symphonic warrior got played in a bunch of decks, it's a machine pendulum that gives you 2 normal summons in the link era , had at minimum regional play with abc, dinomist, majespecters & metalfoes + inevitably others

@@Marcusjnmc that and a lvl 5 machine for Infinity or synchro plays. Not really a penis card, since it is really good in most circumstances. Almost like the predaplant engine

oh I can answer that! Hazy Flame played heiratic convocation and tefnuit as a free body to tribute going second, so it would give you a level 6 fire monster for the basiltrice, as well as whatever you'd get off the sphynx/peryton

@@ErroneousNickname I know, I was the one on Twitter to post Tyhone 2. I just think the explanation would have improved the video.

It's original name was Valkyrie, why they translated that as Dark Witch? Idk

imagine this random ass 5 star normal monster enabling mischief of the time goddess, that's why

And funnily enough, now Sabersaurus will become a penis card, since it's technically the best normal Dino you can play with the Transcendrake fusion, because it's Earth and thus a target for Lithosagym in a pinch.

$4? I bought mine for nearly $20!

I remember running Grisaille Prison in Gem Knights which was a trap that locked both players out of Synchro/Xyz summons until your next turn if you controlled a tribute, ritual or fusion summoned monster. Swords at Dawn in Noble Knights and most of all Sanguine Swamp in Lightsworns from an old JP list

That was truly the dark ages for Harpie decks

Nah, Aqua dolphin was hand trap insurance. It hand loops but it specifically hand loops interruption, which is way better.

@@Andy_ARBS it hand looped cards that could stop handloops.

I wouldn't say Smoke Grenade is a bad card. It's broken in Infernoble Knights, meanwhile most of the cards in this video only saw play due to extremely niche cases and a lack of better cards.

It's a niche card for infernoble and dragon link It doesn't mix on any deck, rather becomes a hindrance

I mean it also had its moment in 2005 with Gearfried

Now I want the decklist😭

@@andreaderrico2969 Well... I updated it a little, its something like this. Tyhoone #2 x3 Hieratic Dragon of tefnuit x3 Hieratic Dragon Of Eset x1 Hieratic seal of Convocation x3 Celestial Observatory x 3 Goka The pyre of Malice x2 Mausoleum of the emperor x3 Flamvell Counter x3 Rekindling x 1 Monarch stormforth x1 True king Agnimazud the Vanisher x2 Monster reborn x1 Pot of Avarice x1 Hazy flame: Peryton x2 Sphinx x2 Cerberus x3 Gryphon x2 Hydra x1 Pillar x 3 Glory x2 XYZ Tribalrivals x2 ----- Hazyflame Bacilistrice x2 Hieratic Dragon king of Atum x1 Constellar Ptolemy M7 x1 Photon Strike Bounzer x1 Number 6: Chronomally Atlándis x1 Number 25: Force Focus x1 Gauntlet Launcher x 1 Gaia dragon the Thunder charger x1 Number c5:Chaos Chimera Dragon x1 Number 21:Frozen Lady justice x1 Hita the fire charmer Ablaze x1 Dolittle chimera x1 Knightmare phoenix x1 Linkuriboh x1 Side deck Hieratic Dragon of Su x3 Spirit of flames x 2 Fenghuang x2 ( i used to Main deck this card because BACKROW, but its in consideration to Add or remove accordingly.) Removal stuff Monarch stuff Its not competitive. Its TRASH TIERS PROBABLY NOT EVEN TABLE 500. But this deck used to be fun to play, this lidt i just added Link stuff tl get on with the times and Banlist tl keep the core idea. Its SUPER SLOW nowdays. There may be a way to make it faster. But this is for the most part how i used to play it. Added the true king Agnimazud. LINKS and Stuff. Some Xyzs that were not avaioable back then. Feel free to use better options if you got any ideas. My deckbuilding skills are far beyond Rusty. Mostly because i used stuff i had, and this list is an Amalgamation of things i could THINK of with help of MASTERDUEL, while still using my IRL deck as The base. Playing with the Hieratic stuff as tribute fodder always netted the Tyhoone. I used to only run 2 of the celestial observatory cause i only had 2... Some Monarch card are Super helpful. But the deck CAN be bricky enough, so...only storforth helps The deck gets like 6 cyber Dragons...and its still not enough xD. So i wont be claiming this is ALWAYS FUN. I had fun playing it because i played it against friends who played Rougue too. Id say one of the Powerhouses of the deck is the fact that Overlay Mats are not a problem, so Xyz tribalrivals is An amazing card here. Anyways. If you need some explaining. I can do a breakdown on it. Its my list. It may not be a Very good one... But its Mine.

@@NyaaPaw44 thanks bruh, I will try this on edopro👍🏻😉

This sounds like something gren manju decks would run to get over the cylinder.
