Good countdown idea, another suggestion could be the opposite, cards underhyped but ended up performing very well. Example being how when Gladiator Beasts came out, most people didn't give it time of day since DAD ws still around, but then Gladiators performed super will at tournaments, to the point that next year everyone was expecting them to be the next unstoppable thing, but then Tele-DAD was as thing.

9:23 - according to MBT, Spell Chronicle hype was a ruse to see if the competitive community could artificially manipulate the card market by staging a mass buy out of a very obvious bad card.

Everyone knows that with Theseus it had been Konami themselves hyping it up. Most players recognized the Instant Fusion Tuner potential, but we already had E-Tele. When they touted instead the trio of Dark Ruler No More, Dimension Shifter, and Nibiru, they actually meant business.

The Dark World structure is an interesting case since while it didn't generate many tops at the time, it generally considered to strongest deck of Fire-Water format(January 2014), and only major change to Dark World was that there were good rank 8s to go into, and this was format with Firefist, Mermail, and XYZ Infernity in it.

In Duel Links Noble Knights became a tier 1 deck because they used a skill that almost guaranteed giving you a monster, a spell and trap, the monster and the spell themselves being like a +80% chance to open with both. So you had a really high chance to open with merlin or medraut + an equip spell or the quick play that equips in order to guarantee your gemini effects, and sometimes an additional trap or book of moon as a disruption. Only that kind of set up made them a top tier deck, but when the skill got nerfed, the deck dropped instantly to rogue and it's currently a fun deck, probably one of the best funs, but barely does it to rogue

and after some years noble knights was made meta in DL due to the skill Balance allowing you to open full combo 90% of the times and making a turn 1 that nothing at the time could beat and fallen into obscurity once balance got nerfed

4:51 - Mystic Mine defender line

I like this list mmore than others because it focuses more on groups of cards per slot as opposed to a single card. It is interesting to hear the history behind some of these cards and sets.

A big reason Dark World never did as well as it should have it because a lot of people decided to cut some of the most powerfull cards like cards destruction and dark world dealings because they were just an instant loss to blindly use in the mirror match resulting in much weaker versions of the deck and the deck not being able to compete

The Duellogs will never run out of these lol

The best part of the Dark World structure deck was the “BEWARE THE SEMICOLON” article that Konami made in conjunction with the deck.

I wonder if a, "Top 10 'Anti-Meta' Cards In A Given Format" could work as an idea. Top 10 Pendulum Extra Deck Monsters Top 10 Synchro Tuners Top 10 Best/Worst Cards That Can Miss Timing Top 10 Worst Spellcasters Top 10 Best/Worst Cards That Require A Specific Named Monster To Activate Top 10 Worst Monster Effects That Trigger When A Monster's Destroyed By Battle Top 10 Cards With Unlisted Rulings

As a Lair of Darkness enjoyer, I can't really refute your points. It has a lot of issues, but if you can get established it works really well. The problem being that the entire deck really falls apart when the field spell dies and it has no inherent protection whatsoever.

POGDUEL130 sounds like the most random codes I’ve ever heard, like it feels like mr. logs chose it while he was drunk as balls

Noble knights was actually my first deck in duel links back when i was playing. It carried me to platinum. It is a good deck if you have all the cards you need in your hand to start your combo. But when the Harpie Ladies became a tier 1 meta deck, I've had a hard time countering it with noble knights. So i had to change my deck. I settled down with burning abyss and it did me good too.

I can't disagree with you about Noble Knights, but I love them just the same. I played them a lot in Duel Links and they were the only time I spent real money to try and build an optimal Noble Knight deck. I had a ton of fun with them... until Harpies became Tier 1 Meta and every other player was summoning Cyber Slash Harpie Lady... I still play the Noble Knights on occasion.

Lair of Darkness is still a fun card to play around; I made a Lair of Mahad where the goal was to have Mahad's double ATK power always live because everything was Dark. Though I love using Lair of Darkness to summon Sphere Mode on my opponent then tribute it with Advance Draw to clear the field and get two cards.

Theseus is the poster boy of "Overhyped Cards" SINCE KONAMI THEMSELVES SAID IT WOULD BE BROKEN

Great countdown! For another one,, How about something like "Useful cards with a lower rarity than you'd expect", since OP or Staple cards such as Magical Scientist and Pankratops were released as commons.

I think a top 10 cards that basically ignore rulings could be interesting, those cases of cards where you look up the rules and konami just says it works like this because we want it to

i'm so happy to see that these videos are sponsored, I love this channel and deserves everything

Thought it was weird when I saw Senet Switch again in a new pack. Now I'm working on a Vaylantz deck so I can play a board game while my opponent plays Yugioh.

Splendid vid, the next one should be top cards that are underrated by the community but perform very well in dealing with the meta 👍

The newest honorable mention I would like to give is Kurikara Divincarnate looking on paper to be a one sided Nibiru/Kaiju with extra value generation or surprise OTK potential.

Muskets are not overhyped. “Huffs copeuim “ We just need one more piece of support “huffs more copeuim”

If you havent done this already, I think a video about top 10 cards with ruling nighmares would be fun.

Master Duel has made me believe that if Maxx "C" was legal in TCG, Crossout Designator would see a LOT of play. Without it however it's just kinda there though

Now do the opposite, cards that seemed innocuous and worthless when first shown, and ended up performing better than expected. And when I mean that, I mean cards that, upon release, get played a lot.

I got the box set of the noble knights and the main reason for that is because I was a big fan of the King Arthur and Merlin story. The deck didn't hold very well but it was kind of interesting.

I LOVE Dark World! Still my main deck choice to this day. Would love a video/segment about them in depth one day.

Ironic that this list includes the Dark World archetype given that the new support for it looks like it could potentially boost this deck to Tier 1 status

DuelLogs in a couple of years: Top *10 cards that have the letter Y in their name*

This brings back memory though to be fair it wasn't so much the "community" that overhyped Sea Monster of Theseus but rather Jerome McHale through that glorious Yu-Gi-Oh! Blogspot post. Poor Jerome must not have known that this card would be released in the same set as Zodiacs, That Grass Looks Greener, Fairy Tail - Snow and all of the good paleozoics.

10:46: And to think, Yubel tried to annihilate all of reality with that card as a staple of her combos.

I recall the noble knights being really good in duel links.

Wait…Who overhyped the cards now? Because Theseus was definitely overhyped by Konami, but the title specifies the playerbase.

Noble Knights were meta in Duel Links. Those Lair of Darkness decks were always annoying to play against at locals even when Sky Striker was at full power at the time. They would tribute my Striker links for cost and Raye wouldn't come back. Also they had that virus card that gets rid of spells from field and hand.

I feel like what change Naturia Pineapple needs to work would be for it's revival ability to change to "If you discard a Naturia monster from your hand or have a Naturia monster on your side of the field, summon a Naturia Pineapple from your graveyard. This effect can only be used once per turn."

To be fair, Sea Monster of Theseus is a really good Super Poly target against quite a few decks, like Anamancepators.

Mr Logs, i don't know what you are talking about, Noble Knights have to be Meta this time. Look at all this support, they have to be meta this time

Poor Noble Nights… They could try to integrate Infernobles and Nobles more with some Noble and cross-support. Maybe not all hope is lost…

Good video as always is increíble the tops Made with Yugioh themes. Sugestion for new tops. Top cards never reprinted after thier original set (for examples: EH aire neos, Maiden of aqua, vicius claw)

"Noble Knight equip spells are good against Shaddoll Construct" is one of the funniest bits of troll-logic ever put out by Konami

Glad you're getting that sponsor money! You work hard and I've gotten tons of hours of engagement from your videos!

As for number 1, if the equip spells behaved more like MtG's equipments or even auras, the Noble Knights would be butt-crushingly busted and maybe even be hyper-banned. EDIT: Okay, maybe that was an overreaction. But Yu-Gi-Oh! Equip spells aren't balanced around how MtG does its equipment cards. When all that's needed is to reattach to another monster as it stays on the field, that might break some Equip spell cards in how different they go in Yu-Gi-Oh!

I recently picked up Vaylantz because it looked more fun to play out of the archetypes in the booster set with all the movement shenanigans. I've been learning some of the more basic combos but it's definitely one of the harder archetypes to learn IMO. Since Senet Switch is a soft once per turn, it's great if you have the Vaylantz monster, Hojo, on the field as he can return a face-up card in the Spell&Trap zone back to the hand and then you can use Senet Switch a second time that turn.

14:18 The “Noble” archetype’s main woe to me seems like the inherent weaknesses of Equip Spell Cards, so perhaps some general equip spell support tied to the them could help…. _Armory Of The Noble._ Continuous Spell Card _When you summon a “Noble” monster, or destroy a card by battle or effect using a “Noble” monster, you can add 1 equip spell card to your hand from your deck or GY. Once per turn, you can treat any number of monsters equipped with equip spell cards as tuners until the beginning of your next turn. When you XYz summon a monster, you can attach any equip spell cards attached to its materials to it as materials. During the battle phase, you can target 1 equip spell card in your hand and one on the field, banish the card in your hand; the targeted equip spell on the field gains the banished cards name and effects while face up on the field until the end of your turn._

This video looking at some entire historical archetypes is awesome!

What about Witch’s Strike? That card sounds so busted and got so much hype only for everyone to realize how specific and easy to negate it was since nobody noticed it was a normal trap, not a counter trap.

If you don't mind, I have a couple ideas. Top 10 worst mill cards Best Story cards part 2 Top 10 cards that show actual cards Top 10 cards that aren't in Master Duel Top 10 stall cards. Top 10 generic pendulum cards. Top 10 special conditions in the games. More Rescue Rabbit, please.

Playing with the Noble Knights deck in DuelLinks actually got me back into Yugioh during the Pandemic after almost a decade of not touching a single card. I still run Noble Knights on Master Duel, and while I lose 4/5 of the time with them the archetype is the right balance of versatile and confusing for me to have a great time

Yo Spell Chronicle straight up got the Morbius treatment

Ah the Noble Knights, I actually play a Noble Night deck sometimes (with the new support of Isolde/Infernobles). I know they arent really good but I play Ghostricks so that tells what you need to know about me XD

10:57 I remember discussions about Senet Switch in a Yugioh Discord server I frequented. One group thought Senet Switch would allow you to move cards from the Extra Monster Zone, while the other said it would probably be limited to the Main Monster Zones. There was another split on whether Links would slow the game down. If so, Senet Switch could still be useful for positioning in your Main Monster Zone to free up Link arrows. I was half right. I was in the latter category for Senet Switch, but thought the game would slow down with Links. Then we got Firewall Dragon and Trickstars.

5:00 I was one of the guys who played diabolos in striker, it was really good back in the day.

This was a very fun idea for a list, if you want another one, how about top ten arcatypes with the most members

Magical Musketeers are one of top 5 favorite archetypes just because there’s so much potential. But they really a very slow control like deck that it can be a real challenge to fight off the meta.

IMO, Sea Monster of Theseus is a good Super Poly target to get rid of problem cards like Halq... that is assuming you can spare an extra deck slot for it and are already running Super Poly.

Would love to see a "Top 10 Mystical Refpanel Targets" list.

Loved the video. The audio kinda goes to shyt at 15:00 if that's something you care about

Ancient Leaf was overhyped and EXTREMELY overbought during that time when it was "leaked" that MR5 would start with 16k LP

Dang shame such hyped cards or certain archetypes that has so much potential that can be popular in the meta game but ultimately fall short in the long run as the metagame is constantly ever changing in a very fast rate which the hyped promised cards can't keep up at all.

Also let's not forget Theseus's first printing was misprinted 😂

Was Theseus even hyped by the community? I remember people making fun of Konami for hyping it up too much lol

Idk if you’ve done it yet but a top 10 meta breaking decks list or a top 10 combo decks list would be cool

Video idea: 10 cards that are more popular in the TCG than the OCG.

I actually was surprised Sea Monster wasn't #1. I didn't know Noble Knights were hyped

I remember Abyss Actor Wild Hope being overhyped for no reason, the week of their release

with senet switch. I only learned about the hype after links had been out for a little while, and thought the hype had been about moving monsters to free up your link arrows, rather than moving from emz to main, and ground collapse would theoretically be used similarly to block the zones next to the unoccupied emz

This man really just made a list of rogue decks to try. Thank you, TheDuelLogs.

The ironic fact about Noble Knights is, say it with me now. *In Yugioh Duel Links*, they were a Tier 1 strategy due to how much they abuse Balance to the point that the Skill became heavily nerfed. Thanks again for ruining my D/D/D and Triamid strategies.

A gladiator beasts video would be great. They were such a great deck in the era of dad and x sabres

If "Noble Knights" became known (even still not useful) just because their sub-archetype became Meta, "Lightsworn" situation is reversed. "Lightsworn" broke several time just because Judgement Dragon and Ryko, but after their sub-archetype released, "Twilightsworn", they kinda abandoned and forgotten fast. Its shame something that suppose support something ended up crushing them.

Despite not being that strong, I still love noble knights. My favourite deck of all time

Kinda surprised Red Eyes Dark Dragoon isn't on this list for the TCG side anyway

Crossout was a for sure thing but, due to the lack of hand traps and Maxx c, rip

it was a really good thing that cross out was overhyped cause if cross out is a staple handtraps are too powerful or the meta needs more vierity

I think Crossout Designator is really underestimated nowadays… …except on Master Duel where I can just not understand the recemt limit of the card at all…

Ngl when I first understood how Link Monsters worked, I kinda thought Senet Switch *could* have some niche tech options

It's funny because people were seriously worried about Crossout and then we immediately hit a meta with decks that didn't have a lot of handtraps

The numeron engine up until the day of release was mega hyped then the prices dropped like a rock.

I tried making the Dark Worlds work with the Danger! Engine but was having serious consistency issues. Either a hand full of Danger cards or Dark World bricks. But who knows, someone might make it work somehow.

I would love to see bad cards in otherwise good archetypes or the opposite, good cards in otherwise bad archetypes. Another great video DL!

The only deck I remember playing Sea Monster Of Theseus was cyber dragon since u could if and cyber dragon to make Ultimya Tzolkin to summon crystal wing. So with a good hand u could end on infinity crystal wing.

Crsystal Seer: Only used it in video games because it is in the starter deck. Dark World barely got a boost and they up and gave it an R just to try and fix it. Lair of Darkness is annoying, but not great. It’s crazy how different the OCG and TCG are despite sharing most of the meta relevant cards at any time. I forget about Naturia Pineapple at times. Honestly if I touch the archetype, then it is in sealed, Cherries in Over the Nexus and the synchros. Magical Musket is still fun to play. Just because it isn’t meta doesn’t make it bad for a good time. I never actually understood Spell Chronicle. If it could avoid being destroyed, sure, but even in the anime it felt so bad. I feel like I was the only who liked the column cards in CDIP and I do like how Senet Switch just got support because it is one of the few cards that can move other cards more than once. Sea Monster of Theseus is one of my favorite fusions and just because I enjoy weird decks like Zombie Fusion. I have made so many versions. I like Noble Knights, but I also get why it isn’t that great outside of certain cards. Infernoble is just better and is more focused on synchro summoning which I just like more as a mechanic than Xyz summoning.

I distinctly remember that people were also hyping up Elementsabers as "the next Zoo" due to their ability to basicallyy turn every monster in the archetype into foolish burial. But then it turns out its nowhere near good enough, hell its probably one of the few vrains-era archetypes I can think of that never once got more than a single wave of support. Even the likes of Metaphys and Tindangle dodged this fate

I think the main reason Magic Musket had it rough was because it was expensive to make as well

when i was younger i thought trade in was such a good card, explains why i frigging bricked so much. now i know that level 8 main decks either need to be boss monsters, easy to summon, or key cards in some way

i'm never going to get over the line 'all of which would turn off your pineapple, due to its restrictions'

"Let's not go to Camelot. It's a silly place" -Konami

2017 was just nut. Zoodiac, SPYRAL, True Draco, Aleister, Pendulum Magicians and Link monsters such as Firewall Dragon. And they thought a squid would be the best of the bunch

having gotten back into yu hi oh recently, i didn't realize how bad so many lightsworn cards are, could you do a top 10 worst cards in the LS archetype, or for other archetypes?

Seeing noble knights at #1 made me sad, since they're one of my fave decks/archetypes

This is superb. Why don't you make a top 10 of pendulums? I would like to explore them a little further

I genuinely expected Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon to be on this list. A card with multiple ban-worthy effects that got talked up like crazy and yet nobody ended up playing. The ultimate noob fodder.

Congrats on 300k your the best so deserved🤩🤩🤩

I thought the War Rock archetype would be on the list for sure. I still love the Dark World archetype even though the monsters can’t activate their effects if they are discarded for a cost. Hopefully the new Dark World deck coming out in 2023 will help one of my favorite archetypes.

Could we have a video explaining what TCG exclusive archetypes are and a quick round up/listing of those archetypes? It is actually hard at times to find a proper list of which archetypes started out as TCG exclusive

I bought that big 100 dollar set for the noble knights just cause they were extremely pretty. I do not care they suck I was running mermails still XD

How about the opposing. Cards that people thought they would either suck or not see play but ended up performing very well.
