To be fair, just because Mystery Hand can attack through dimensions doesn't mean that it's good at it.

The more you run out of top 10s the more funny these titles become this is peak yugioh content

This is a fun video, the flavor text of vanilla cards are either completely mundane or absolutely insane and that’s why I love them

I’d like to see “10 Monsters that cannot defeat a Peacock” based on the normal monster Peacock and it’s stats lol

I CANNOT believe you didn't mention Niwatori. He "Swallows enemies whole and uses their essence as energy". That chicken would just eat Blue Eyes in one bite. That's a powerful chicken.

Now I want to see a Mystery hand archetype that is like Exodia.

Somewhere out there, one random duelist is like, “FINALLY my fav, the champion of my dueling career, is being represented in a Duellogs video! So glad to see my boy, Ray & Temperature.”

From a lore standpoint, the BEWD flavor text makes sense, given it was meant to be seen as equal to Exodia and the gods in ancient Egypt. Even Zorc and Yami Bakura respected the powers of the BEWD.

7:50 Ah yes, my favorite kind of monsters ''Type/Normal/Effect''

I love a good silly lore-focused video like this every once in a while. Keep up the good work!

This is actually a really fun concept for a video cause there's so many fun Normal Monsters with incredible lore/flavour text that gets overlooked because they're Normal Monsters. I think another fun Top 10 like this would be Top 10 Normal Spellcasters who are more powerful than Dark Magician based on their lore/flavour text.

Please make more of this. Wacky deep lore about normal monsters are always a treat

"In Yu-Gi-Oh, cards let you do things." True wisdom.

This is such a fun concept. Really brings the 'arguing over cards at school lunch' energy.

I like the implication of doma, angel of silence's flavor text. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter how powerful you are, if you can melt anything, devour dimensions, or existed since the big bang. All that matters is winning, the one who wins is the strongest. Doma's flavor text tells us loud and clear - eventually, when the dust settles and the fighting is over, doma WILL come out on top. No matter what your feats are, how many abilities and hacks you possess, you cannot change that fact. You can fight back, even score victories, but eventually, with enough time, doma WILL win and rule over everything. It is not a matter of if but when.

Kaiba would *ehem* dominate a blue eyes white dragon

Im so shocked you didnt include Cosmo Queen xD her text basically says she rules over the cosmos and they stars xp I swear thats deeper than Blue-Eyes power :p

That's clearly "Fiend Reflection One Cent"! I like this fun list. And the number of these cards that haven't made it to the TCG really seem like Konami isnt keeping them safe from us, but keeping us safe from THEM. I used to like Twin-Headed Fire Dragon and Sengenjin.

I love these videos that are more about the lore of Yugioh and not just from the perspective of playing the game

With regards to United Resistance, love to see based comrade Logs, but I’m pretty sure the most revolutions in history would’ve been quashed by the Blue Eyes White Dragon

OH MY GOD YOU MENTIONED YUGIOH BAM! I was really starting to think I was going crazy and was the only one who knew about this game. The music, the fast pace, the everything about it was beautiful. Thank you I’m so glad I’m not alone! I wish they would bring it back I would play it on kongregate and it helped make the days go by so much faster back then. Raghhh thank you

I love how you write these videos. Your appreciation for small lore is sweet.

My favorite video idea thus far, I've always read the old school flavor text and laughed at how under powered the card's stats are by comparison. It's funny you chose blue-eyes as the main comparison card, because I remember some kid from my childhood claiming blue eyes can't be destroyed because of it's "effect" LOL

A missed opportunity with Fiend Reflection Mirror 2: the monsters it summons and would logically have control over could be the ones that FRM-1 trapped. This would make them a very deadly combo where anything that posed a greater risk could be trapped and then used against their enemies to turn the tide of battle.

I love normal monsters so much, I wish they could be more than Garnets in competitive play but I still love them

This is a really hilarious and refreshing video. I can imagine Mr. Logs giggling entire time behind the scenes

Did a scriptwriter fall asleep while watching Dzeeff read the flavor text of every vanilla monster? Haha

I love these lore related tops! I hope to see more!

Blue Eyes: "I thought you were dead" The Indomitable Human Spirit: "The reports of my death were greatly exaggerated"

This is such a good idea for a video. I'd love to see more like this.

This is the best episode you have done so far. And I have watched you for more than 4 years.

0:25 Let’s be real, if normal monsters had their flavor texts be translated into proper card effects, many of the new cards/effects would be some of the strongest in the game… Blue-Eyes for example… let’s start with making a Blue-Eyes retrain that focuses on being as destructive and “invincible” as possible (Without making it an illegal card, nevermind banned): _Blue-Eyes Pale Dragon_ (LIGHT) Level 8 Dragon/Effect _Cannot be destroyed. Can attack all of your opponent’s monsters once each per battle phase. If this card attacks an opponent’s defense position monster: Inflict piercing battle damage. If this card destroys an opponent’s monster by battle: You can destroy 1 card on the field. You can apply each of the following effects of “Blue-Eyes Pale Dragon” per turn:_ ⚪️If a card is destroyed (By battle or card effect): Add to your hand, shuffle into your deck or send to your GY 1 “-Eyes” card you possess. ⚪️Before your normal draw, Target 1 monster you control: That target can make additional attacks the during battle phase it next battles, equal to the number of cards that were destroyed (By battle or card effect) before it declares an attack. ATK/3000 DEF/2500 1:40 Then we can do an Xyz retrain for this one here: _Archfiend Reflection_ (WIND) Rank 4 Winged-Beast/Xyz/Effect 2+ Level 4 monsters _You can only control 1 “Archfiend Reflection”. Monsters that would be banished or sent to the GY after they leave the field are instead attached to this card. Once per turn (Quick Effect), you can detach 1 material from this card: Apply 1 of the following effects:_ ⚪️Add to your hand, shuffle into your deck or send to your GY 1 card you possess that mentions “Fiend”, “Mirror” or “Reflection” in it’s name. ⚪️Target 1 monster your opponent controls: Normal or Special Summon 1 monster from your hand, deck or GY with the same original name as that target, but banish it if that target leaves the field. ⚪️Target 1 face-up spell/trap your opponent controls: Activate 1 Spell/Trap from your hand, deck or GY with the same original name as that target. ATK/1300 DEF/1400 4:07 THEN one for these guys: _Heat and Gale_ (LIGHT) Level 3 Fairy/Effect _You can special summon this card from your hand while there is a face-up Field Spell on the field. Cards that would be banished or sent to the GY are instead shuffled into the deck. (Quick Effect) You can Tribute 1 facedown card you control: Destroy 1 card on the field._ ATK/1000 DEF/1000

NOW THIS was the kind of list i needed!

What a fun idea for a list! :D I'd love more in the vein of this!

This made me laugh and all the old cards was a trip down memory lane. Great video!

Favorite video ever. Loved the transition from lore to lore

I'm glad to watch Top 10s that are purely subjective. And I'm glad you had fun with the script. Also the Anotherverse Glutton dude is giving me Ulamog vibes

I feel like while their lore makes many of these monsters seemingly more powerful than Blue-eyes, there should always be a context on how their power works. Like for instance, Acid Crawler. We know its acid mist can melt anything, but at what rate? And how about its size? If it doesn't melt anything very fast, then killing the crawler from a distance with very fast projectile/long range attack before it can emit too much mist will still be viable. Besides, if its acid mist can melt *anything* , what prevents it from melting itself apart? Anotherverse Gluttonia can devour dimensions, but how quick can it do so? Sengenjin *carries* around multiple millenium items. But can it *use* them if at all? I mean, everyone can say "I can do something", but each one will do that 'something' at a varying degree of speed and ease. Imagine a wizard saying, "I can cast a universe-ending spell!". The wizard can certainly do it in fact. But what if in practice, said spell requires years to chant completely?

Thank you Bally for this script- hella fun!

Interesting analysis video! Especially ignoring the anime, there's definitely room for another series like this! Thanks for uploading, & here's looking forward to more like this!

you have a mastery of poetic language. your description of Doma is beautiful. moving.

I would have never thought that one day I’d see a list composed of normal monsters only !

Quality content man, love all the effort you put in here for such a fun vid-laughed more than once and learned some lore. Love it!

This made me remember the early days of the game when i would use my cards to create adventures and write them as a sort of novella

Love it great idea :)

Fun fact for you all. There used to be a fake Doma the Angel of Silent that circulated around my school that had an extra 0 for its attack point. So that means, in some universe, Doma is indeed much stronger than Blue-eyes

The script and especially delivery on this one were stellar, made me lol

Honestly, we needed honorable mention to the original rival to the Blue-Eyes White Dragon: The Dark Magician. As for other Normal Monsters that would bring down Blue-Eyes White Dragon… Light Bringer Lucifer, whose Flavor Text reads _"I am the ruler of all creation sitting atop the supreme throne let there be light!"_ A ruler of all creation. And what is Blue-Eyes? A creation. The Snake Hair can just turn BEWD to stone with a glance, and The Shadow who controls the Dark can paralyze BEWD while hidden. Same with Phantom Dewan, who can paralyze a foe with a single curse. Dragon Core Hexer. She's a dragonslayer. She may not _dominate_ the Blue-Eyes, but if her Flavor Text and DEF is anything to look at, it would be a battle of attrition that she would ultimately win. Neo Aqua Madoor can also win a battle of attrition with its "Impenetrable wall of ice." As can Millennium Shield.

I love the old cards and it's artworks, its literally the reason why I got interested in yu-gi-oh

Enjoyed the video and the animations as well very entertaining

This is fun, do more of these lore reaction videos.

Absolutely Loved this Fun Video 😊

I like how quickly it becomes apparent that the video's premise is just an excuse to talk about random card trivia 🤣

This video is so fun, well done lol

Would be great if they added flavor text to all cards, not only normal monsters.

This Video was great I like it and the concept

Absolutely loved this video 😂 love all your videos. I watched them all. I don't even play Yu-Gi-Oh! Anymore but still love ur vids! :)

Love those old vanillas! Mystery Hand and Ray and Temperature were some of my favorites! They really should be given some love, either with an archetype centered around them or just a retrain.

Cool! A new duellogs video on a fun Yugioh topic, I'm sure my mind won't be melted by multidimensional knowledge, incredibly large creatures, ancient tools of death, and the philosophy of all things ending in nothingness!

Speaking as a powerscaler here: Anotheverse Gluttonia is probably the most powerful Normal Monster in YGO (according to flavor text), as flavor text implies it can devour not universes, but dimensions (these things are different, even in YGO (check Yubel's words, she specifically states difference between world and dimension)), and such, it scales higher than all other examples (except Dis Pater, who is canonically 4-dimensional being that exists in multiple universes at the same time) due to being multidimensional. 🤓 Another contender for most lore-wise powerful would be Light Bringer Lucifer. Because... reasons.

I love the topic of this video. Honestly I just love the OCG old card artwork so seeing these with their flavor texts 🌚🖤

Damn, you laid this one out!

I love this video. Please do more like this.

What a crazy video 😅👍🏼

Your videos just get better and better ❤😂 I really enjoy your content.

I'd love to see more support for "Skull Archfiend" cards. We got Extra Deck mostly sorted, what we need bit more specific support. : )

Comrade Logs calling for revolution was not what I expected but I am here for it. Also Magicalibra is "A sentient scale. It maintains the balance of the universe, but often places the stars on the wrong side" so it's definitely up there with all the other cosmic forces.

This was pretty awesome lol.

Super fun video.

"Do you exist? Meltable!" is the most psycho line ever!

"Very little can match the power of the sun!... Anyways, next up is some strange hand."

Love the video

as always, great video😂

"In Yugioh, cards let you do things" - The Duel Logs.

That is the toplist i didn´t knew i wanted

An MBT twitter thread made it into a DuelLogs video xD

Imagine being a "technically" 🤓 invincible dragon

What about Dark Magician? He's the ultimate wizard in terms of not only attack but also defense. What could mortals hope to do against the literal most powerful wizard in destructive and defensive magic?

I love this one! I cannot play much anymore due to adulting but I still enjoy listening to how the game is evolving even if I cannot follow the extensive combo chain heavy format. This top ten turns the formula on its head, talking about the lore of the cards rather its tier 0 status.

Vero good video!

A hand could twist reality and reach through dimensions, but that doesn't mean it'll do much when it reaches though the dimensional gap. Going by it's attack stat, I don't even think it could strangle or pull anyone though it.

I once saw a video where two people tried to have a duel based on the flavor text of normal monsters. IIRC it came down to a debate on what they were allowed to wish for with Flying Fish.

I think you should've mentioned "The Judgement Hand" Level 3 Earth Warrior ATK 1400 / DEF 700 "An all-powerful hand that delivers ruthless attacks." All-powerful. Literally omnipotent Also, the Black Luster Soldier normal monster version which reads "The strongest warrior, it has the same capabilities as Blue-Eyes White Dragon" This upscales BLS as stronger than omnipotent, but also upscales Blue Eyes to be as strong as that, so yeah

Bro just gave everyone existential dread and just dipped 😂

Flavor text gives me Pokédex vibes. Where it says insane things like a tiny bug can destroy mountains by blinking too hard.

Beautiful

The flame of the Candle of Fate flickers and dies. The Candle of Fate will now decide the fate of every Monster on this list. They all cease to be. The Candle has spoken.

Fun fact: Blue Eyes was supposed to be Yugi's ace monster. That is why even after Kazuki switched it to Dark Magician, it's Yugi's grandpa who has the Blue Eyes in question that kicked off the series.

I feel like Mystery Hand with THAT flavor should have an effect that unbanishes itself.

This video was so cool

Dam this list was a trip

Nice video came for a silly lore video and I got that and more.

Genex Controller states: "As a master of all powers and elements, this is one of the few Genex monsters that can communicate with its companions." I'm positive he'd DEMOLISH the BEWD.

Love it, this is like "Pokemon that could beat Mewtwo based on Pokedex entries"

Please do Top 10 cards that grant additional normal summons.

I was not expecting to be hit by existential dread. Well-done, sir.

How long do you research all this for!!? You are a mad man and I respect you 👍🏻

Should have added the Dark magician. He's the ULTIMATE wizard in terms of attack and defense and has defeated the blue-eyes multiple times.

Number 2 was so beautifully worded I shed a tear lol

I was just wondering what an April fools video would look like on this channel, and this is really great
