The 4th copy of the Blue Eyes White Dragon is the most broken of all thanks to Kaiba.

I can never take Delinquent Duo seriously, because I was playing a GBA Yugioh game and Marik used Magician of Faith to bring Delinquent Duo back to his hand with less than 1000 life points (while having Monster Reborn and Raigeki in his graveyard) and used it on me his next turn and cost him the duel

Top 10 times we got reminded that dragon rulers and judgment were in the meta at the same time, and that's why they weren't tier zero.

Red Eyes Dragoon two years jumping in like: Hello there.

Top 10 best card artwork. Obviously completely opinion based but it’d be interesting to see your favorites

Pot of greed because no one knows what it does.

When I first saw Exchange Spirit in the anime when Ishizu used it on Kaiba, I was speechless on how good that was.

I'd really love to see a History of the Meta video from you, detailing the first meta decks, how and why the meta changed, what decks were the best as new mechanics came out, etc.

Everyone knows Jerry Beans Man is the most broken card.

Ishizu : exchage of spirit! Kaiba : exchage of what? Ishizu : now we must swap the cards in our deck with the cards in our graveyards, leaving me with all the cards i need, and you Kaiba, with only 6 Kaiba : FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU And that's the true reason that card was banned

A lot of the problematic effects can be solved with the clause: "Only use this effect once per turn".

Spellbooks and Dragon rulers. The only T0 decks that never reached T0 status, becauss they were the only T0 decks that faced another T0 deck. Eachother.

surprised Yata-Garasu wasn't on the list, considering it was the reason the ban list existed in the first place

Top 10 cards that are used in another archetype than the one they belong to

Delinquent Duo: Imma end this man's whole career The kid who plays Dark World deck : Yeah that will help Delinquent Duo: NANI!!!

Lol, I remember getting owned once by Ishizu with Exchange of the spirit in Nightmare Troubadour on the DS, making me deck out instantly

Another note about Firewall is how effective it was at link climbing as long as you had the hand resources. Being able to special summon a card from your hand each time you use a monster it points to as material makes it one of the easiest methods of extra linking. It's basically Ultimate Offering 2.0.

I only miss Last Turn cuz......it's a epic way to end a duel

Everytime I see these lists my answer is always the same, Makyura as the enabler of the breaking mechanic of making all traps into spells is the number 1 for obvious reasons. Even if you banned all the possible cards that conduct to FTK combos, it would still enable pretty degenerate turn 1 boards, increase deck consistency 1000 fold, and of all the cards it holds the honours of not having been errata nor having ever been legal to begin with. Card was banned 1 week before it's first print, that's all you need to know who the real king troublemaker of the f/l list is.

New drinking game: Take steroids every time TheDuelLogs says: "Steroids".

Fun fact: Firewall Dragon's second effect has been used exactly once in all of VRAINS thusfar. Also, funnily, Dark Strike Fighter had an effect pretty similar to the errata'd version in the anime. Meaning the game, of all things, was what made it broken.

top 10 worst cards who looks good on the surface

Chaos emperor dragon Nuff said

Clearly Swordsman of Landstar is the most broken card in the game.

So, are we going to ignore The Sixth Sense?

Exchange of the Spirit, Ishizu’s biggest meme.

Glad to see this channel is super popular now. I havent played yugioh in maybe 3-4 years but cool to see content still being made.

Winged Dragon of RA + last turn was the combo i used to always see when the card was playable and still even see it in casual duels sometimes

I see Chaos Emperor Dragon first thing and remember how I pulled it from my IOC pack in LC Gameboard Edition. Haaaaaah...

My favorite card probably doesn't deserve to be on this list, but Cyber Jar was my favorite card ever when I played the game when I was 8. A board wipe that lets you refill hands and the field? It's just so neat!

In a more "pure power" way, the two cards black luster soldier envoy and Dragon envoy are really so easy to summon and give you a massive advantage, especially considering you could use the effect of the dragon if somehow your opponent activates a trap or magic card to destroy it. If you try those cards through a cheated Yu-Gi-Oh video games just to see why some are banned you will quickly realise that there is a good reason some cards are banned.

Um you mind telling me why shapesnatch isn't number 1? I mean he IS the one whose shape was snatched.

My favorite banned card is change of heart it’s so much fun to use

painful choice logic "i don't care what one you choose to give me, they're all bad choices"

I'm surprised you didn't include Chaos Emperor Dragon, one of the cards that caused the forbidden list in the first place.

Ah Spellbook of Judgement ... I miss you ...

Makyura is my favorite card ever and i loved the infinite attack combo with call of the haunted and chic the yellow

if makyura was free, paloezoic would be meta

What is so scary about things like Painful Choice, Delinquent Duo, Makyura the Destructor, Last Will, and Graceful Charity (the last two of which should have been on this list) is that none of the cards listed have a power ceiling. No matter how many sets come out with broken cards like Firewall Dragon, the above five cards will *ALWAYS* be super powerful simply because of their design and what they allow players to do, either to benefit themselves or to screw over their opponents.

Firewall Dragon: The only ace monster to be banned while the series was still running.

I remember from years and years ago, my younger brother and I went to a small local tourney at some game shop in our city. This was way back in the earlier days of YGO, before even E-Heroes were a twinkle in Konami's eye. My brother was like 12-13 years old at the time. He played some douche bag guy who cheezed out easy wins by abusing Wall of Revealing Light to instantly burn himself to 1000 LP, activate Last Turn and prevent my brother from getting a monster on the field, or say that Walls attack blocking effect prevented by brother from attacking despite the card being destroyed by Last Turn or something stupid like that. I don't remember the specifics (again, this was like 15 years ago) but it was dirty as hell and the guy was being a real shitheel about it to my brother, who he looked 10+ years older than and for whatever reason he is trying to give some kid the runaround to scum out a win in some silly card game at a local no one cares about. 🙄 Long story short, we went home after that and my brother stopped playing YGO all together.

For Painful Choice..... what if, instead of sending the cards to the GY, they were just Banished Face down? Maybe that would balance it?

*I want to clarify something about Card of Safe Return* : it was okay by the time it was created because there was almost no easy way of special summoning monsters from the graveyard. Treeborn Frog doesn't work, Call of the Haunted was limited at 1, and the only deck that had a theme of special summoning monsters from the graveyard were Zombies, and even they didn't have that many effects to do it. Book of Life, Vampire Lord's effect if you got lucky it happened or you forced it, Twin-Headed Behemoth. It also was at 3 for a very short time, it was mostly at 1 until it was banned.

I have a pre-errata Sinister Serpent that basically just says “this card is returned to your hand at the end of your turn”

For some reason I love the old school overpowered cards, I used to play power of chaos yu gi oh back in the day, and every old card was there. Those were the days.

I feel like almost every broken card could easily be fixed by just putting "You can only use each effect of [card name] once per turn." on it. (not every broken card would be fixed, but the vast majority would be with this) I mean, you'd think they'd just make that little bit of text mandatory over how many dozens of broken cards they've had to errata or ban over the years that had no limit on them, especially since in Yu-Gi-Oh there's no resource system to limit things naturally, like how there's mana in Magic the Gathering.

"Konami decided to ban the problem card of this loop-" "Oh we finally banned the cannon soldiers?" "And banned firewall dragon" Yup. That fuckin sounds like Konami.

I recently had a traditional touney at my locals and used painful choice in danger/trickstar deck. hands down the funnyest plays of the night for me.

I'd like to point out that Card of Safe Return was also involved in a couple of degenerate Exodia OTKs. For example, the Manticore loop, which involves one Manticore of Darkness in your hand and another one in your Graveyard. During the End Phase, you discard the Manticore in your hand to SS the one in your GY, then send that one back to the GY to summon the one you discarded, repeat until your opponent flips the table.

I don't even play Yu-Gi-Oh. How's this so entertaining?

painful choice should be number 1 before master rule 4 it was a 1 card shooting quasar

4 years ago really shows.

2022: Spellbook of Judgment gets unbanned Me: > pikachu face

10 seconds in, and I just want to say THANK YOU for putting the list in the description, saving me from flicking through your video. Truly, thank you!!

Dark Strike Fighter + Junk Synchron + Quillbolt Hedgehog + imperial iron wall

I feel like Painful Choice deserves number 1. It's the strongest spell of all time IMO.

Card Of Safe Return was a big part of my Zombie Deck The Deck Revolved around 4 Cards - Card Of Safe Return - Zombie World - Imperial Iron Wall - Soul-Absorbing Bone Tower Get these 4 cards out along with Plaguespreader and you can Synchro Summon For Days Imperial Iron Wall Stops Monsters from Being Removed so you could spam Plaguespreader's Effect over and over again

I just realized that the top cards were all used by the Ishtar group in the anime. Marik- Makyura the destructor Odion- Temple of the kings Ishizu- Exchange of the spirit

"You'd think they would have learned their lesson after the first 10 or so times." Lol they did learn their lesson, keep printing broken cards and players will keep giving them money! It's really the people that keep playing this game that haven't learned anything.

Exchange of the Spirit + Makyura: Solitaire deck.

I had (2) Delinquent Duo cards. Sometimes I got them in one hand and played them at the same time. My opponent reaction was priceless!

I think Last Turn can come back if Konami decide to put something like, "When this card's activate, negate all other card's effect until this card's effect resolves."

Ishizu: Exchange of Spirit! Kaiba: Exchange of what now? Ishizu: Now we must swap the cards in our deck with the ones in our graveyards, leaving me with all the cards I need, and you Kaiba, with only six. Kaiba:........FUUUUUUUUUU---

To people wondering why Yata-Garasu isn't in the list.... The case about Yata is that Yata is not broken ON HIS OWN, it requires something to combo with in most situations. But thats also why it will more than likely be forever banned, the amount of different cards nowadays that could combo with Yata would be completely ridiculous, this would lead to so many unhealthy and degenerate strategies.

You know what I like from you? You make the list based to informations, not your top personal ten. Keep it up bro 👌🏻

Technically traptrix atrax brings the effect of makyura back but with a specific type of "hole" trap cards but you can still activate them from your hand making her op if you have hole trap cards in your hand especially treacherous trap hole on the first turn

Sometimes they seem to not notice how good something is before it's too late.

"temple of the kinks"

I wonder what sort of errata would have to happen for Firewall Dragon to be unbanned? I can’t imagine it’d be too extreme. Maybe a once-per-turn limit to its effects

I’ve seen the new Exchange of the Spirit still work with a Monarch’s deck that just sent both players extra decks to the graveyard, so as long as people run 15 card extra decks; you just need to last 1 turn against a player without the ability to search their deck.

exchange of the spirit, i remember you, and i still hated you for milling me....e.e

Could you repeat this theme but from the perspective of Duel Links? Cards like Amazoness Onslaught, Treacherous Trap and Golden Bamboo would make the list :p

Only recently learned you have 2 channels Hiru! WoW and Yugioh? You the man

Fun fact: it's the first time the main 2500 atk monster played by the protagonist of an anime is not only included in the ban list but forbidden

Firewall Dragon should be no.1 why? because it damage the game not like any other broken card, its all thanks to konami refusal of banning it on the first sign of trouble. if you see other broken card, konami straight up banning it immidietly first time they see a potential destructive mechanic. but its different case with Firewall Dragon

last turn could be errated to negate the monsters effects that are chosen for the battle

Rescue Cat's old effect was pretty powerful, lead to tons of 1 card FTKs. Also, pretty surprised that Yatagarasu wasn't on here, even though I don't think it would hurt the game as much as people think in the current game.

2:00 "it's like a Cannon Soldier on steroids" i died hard here

Chaos. Emperor. Dragon. A card so broken that it was even mentioned as being a banned card IN THE ANIME! I really don't know how the people who made the card wrote down its effect and were like, "Yeah, that seems about right." It would be broken in today's standards, so releasing back in such an early age of yugioh was akin to putting to Messi on the field in a middle school soccer game.

this reminded me of a simpler time, where my favourite combo was ultimate offering with gadgets

exchange of spirit can still be extremely broken if combined with mekk knights if you manage to send the opponents entire extra deck to the grave and then switch the cards they have 0 in their main deck

Card of safe return was used in the anime by Marik’s mindslave Strings to make Slifer unstoppable, in combination with Revival Jam, who instantly revived from the graveyard if destroyed in the anime, and a card I forget the name of that made Revival Jam always intercept an attack. The strategy was defeated by Yugi using Brain Control to take control of the Revival Jam, which caused Slifer’s second ability to activate, which makes new monsters on the opponent’s field lose 2000 Attack points, and be destroyed if their attack became 0 by this effect. Revival Jam would proceed to be resurrected to Yugi’s field, and Strings would draw 3 new cards. Slifer became more powerful, Revival Jam was destroyed, Strings drew 3 cards, and this continued until Strings lost because he couldn’t draw any new cards. This shows that Konami definitely knew what they were doing by creating the real card, and then it proceeded to be banned even with its nerfed effect. Konami is honestly weird sometimes, they even stated that Chaos Emperor Dragon was outlawed from official Duel Monsters Tournaments in GX, so what’s up?

*Spellbook of Judgment should always be #1.* Its that insane. Chaos Emperor, yata all required setup. Makyura would probably be #2

I feel like you just completely forgot Victory Dragon. This was a good list, but Victory Dragon really is on a whole other level from everything on this list. It may be kinda slow and situational, but the ability to instantly win a match goes beyond just OTKing or FTKing, that's potentially just skipping 2 whole games

7:00 this is such a Baki thing considering the artwork looks like Yujiro Hanma fighting a Naga which is also something he'd do

I’m surprised that a main character’s monster got on the banlist. They should make Firewall’s effect once-per-turn to fix the OTK problem.

The pic of Spellbook of Fate was named "Spellbook of of Fate". Was that an actual misprint, or just a bad proxy image?

So make sure to always get 1st edition yugioh cards!!! Got it

i remember when Makyura was released in the TCG he was already banned, poor broken guy didn't even had a chance

every card's design in this video fits back color. I like that.

(1) pot of greeds so broken nobody's even sure what it does or was supposed to do anymore. (2) yatalock, so broken it invented the ban list

Obviously the most broken card in the game is my expired drivers license

The best deck you could ever build would be 35 pot of greed's and the 5 Exodia parts. Literal guaranteed win.

It seems like what you would want to with that is have it be that you fight over twelve total pieces of Ice (absolutist Arcane Lab) for which Traps do not count with the Edge/Monarch and with a hidden information bid/swing of 3/4/5. Great success.

No Fiber Jar?
