Agreed

I THINK NOT

OBJECTION!!!

Honestly, unless you're playing a mill deck (in which case graceful tear might be better), it's most certainly better than the next 6 spots on the list, I don't think he made that up. Is it bad enough to be on the list? I don't know. Most life point gain cards are little better than a dead draw if you play against a meta deck, so I don't know if it's the 7th, the 10th, or the 13th worst life point gain card, but it certainly is better than the next 6. So you have good life point gain cards, average ones, bad ones, and then clearly the worst that can be neatly arranged in a clear top 6 or 5. Within "bad" they all sort of blend in and it's hard to tell which is worse. You could try the empirical route and see which winning decks contain the most copies of one of these cards, but "0 for all" don't really give much information. Perhaps a good way to test would be to make a deck which is specifically trying to counter the meta, splash 1 copy of the card into the deck, play until you've gotten that card in your hand for at least 7 duels, and then repeat for each card you're testing.

Peten the dark clown ❤️

First thing that came to mind: Gusto. Some have an effect of deck summoning "when" sent to the GY, but the effect misses timing on a synchro. Changing it to "if" would mean you waste half your resources every time you synchro or link with them. [Edit: XYZ wouldn't work, cause rereading I saw they must be sent from field to GY. From overlay zone they won't work]

The entirety of the yang zings?

Or even top ten cards of each era’s that are _still_ competitive to this day, or are at least potentially still potent enough to influence deck building even if said cards aren’t exactly common these days.

@@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire Didn't he do that? It was like "Oldest Cards That Still See Play" or something I think?

@@Fuzzy_Barbarian I think that was _top ten cards that see play despite being power crept,_ but I might be mistaken.

Yeah but he did say he doesnt watch anime

@@ineedslim9265 you don’t really need to watch the anime for this just the years that anime aired then cards released during those times

He has done a few lists on searchers.

I don't know if there's enough for a top ten list, but, what about Search Cards That Search Cards They Aren't Supposed To? The most obvious one is the Vehichroid search card that searches Dark Jeroid. There's also a Guardian searcher that can search random cards that aren't in the archetype.

'Gather your mind' has joined the chat

So.... Top 10 cards that search out Polymerization?

E.H. Woodsman ! 🤣

As an old fan of the series, I really wish 7, 7 Completed (completely unrelated effect somehow) and Slot Machine actually interacted with each other to make getting off 7's effect easier while buffing Slot Machine...

@@tho_tho In an obscure Yugioh GBa game, 7 completed DOES interact with Slot Machine

@@yeetusinfinite7247 I know, I love old Yu-Gi-Oh games, especially the GB/GBC/GBA ones! One of my all-time favorite games is Dark Duel Stories for example because you get to make your own monsters!

@@tho_tho I had that game as a kid and it took me like a year to actually figure out how that mechanic worked. Suddenly going from fodder worse than season one of duel monsters to 2K ATK/DEF Level 4s was sublime

@@thatguyinthecorner4648 I would literally just bruteforce the combinations one by one until I found a good match lol Most combinations would give you like 450-900 attack mons and then seemingly randomly some stupidly good lv4s with 1800+ attack! Went back years later and studied the system a bit and now I just breeze through the game using mostly combo cards rather than real cards, it's crazy and I love it

amoeba ftk is calling for shiens spy to also be included

Misread this as Top 10 cards that give your card(s) to your opponent's hand. The following is what I wrote before realising my mistake. :x #1 would probably be Exchange. There may be better cards with that effect, but even though you don't get to choose which card (unless you have only 1 card in your hand, or multiple copies of 1 card) the fact you can take a card from your opponent's hand of your choice while seeing their entire hand and potentially putting a specific card in your opponent's hand does give it some niche usefulness. After all, one of the hardest places for your opponent to recover a card from is your hand. Shout out to Magical Contract Door though for being a generic searcher of Level 7 or 8 DARK monsters - and as such having some *very* good targets.

i have a the supression pluto deck with 3 copies of exchange, gold moon coin an graceful tear and it is a fun gimmick deck.

I've seen a replay that's about giving the 2 Drytron rituals with Gold Moon Coin, then using the last effect of Ally of Justice Decisive Armor to discard those things and burn the opponent for 8k, causing a FTK. It was incredibly convoluted, but really funny.

There is swords for weather report otk, but that relies on your opponent not realising what you're up to, which they obviously would if you used graceful tear (maybe not with exchange or gold moon coin).

MBT actually used that in The History of YGO. XD

@@dosbilliam sounds like something he'd do

Would skill drain work for it as well. You flip Immortal of Thunder and then flip up Skill Drain as a separate chain them just sac it off for a stronger monster

@@hanakoisbestgirl4752 You'd need Soul Drain, since it would activate when it hit the Graveyard and Skill Drain only works when it's on the field.

Also, its effect is not OPT, so it's not impossible someone might work out a combo to flip this up an unlimited number of times to get a arbitrary level of lifepoints. Of course, you could do the same thing with morphing jar and FTK, but that draws the opponent into every handtrap in their deck, while this doesn't.

Watching the Yu-Gi-Oh anime growing up ingrained the idea of life points being super important into my head.

As we age we realise it’s the EXACT opposite. There’s only one life point that matters and it’s your last one

Its something I realised that wasn't very important in my 9 year old playground duels because of The Cure Master lady who gives you 1000 was used far too much. I was like thinking to myself... you used 1 card for that effect, lmfao.

@@lokephoenix1039 So then if I raised my lifepoints, then I never have to worry about that last life point.

I remember at some point during my playground duelimg days "wait, the main thing that matters is making sure I can get high attack point cards to beat over my opponents cards." And I realised that gaining LP did like nothing because a good high attack point monster could do like 2500 in one attack.

*BUT IN DUEL LINKS*

Thanks for the duel links rating manipulation

I can see the judges of the tournament going "Wait a minute..."

well, the card says to target "A" player, not you or your opponent. If you are going to a tournament only to be masive troll and make your case to the Judges.

After that all the participants trigger Mystical Refpanel, putting the tournament itself in a infinite loop.

I recall hearing of a story I've heard like this with a Magic the Gathering card from the Unhinged set or a similar set. It causes the target player to lose and actually has reminder text stating it doesn't have to be your game or MtG. The guy pointed to a Yugioh player at the shop.

@Chains of Scarlet Granted, the story is possibly apocryphal plus the Unhinged and Unglued sets are joke sets.

Lime showed us why

Blue medicine was actually made kinda useful in yugioh sevens lmao.

He actually doesn't do the editing, he has an editor who does it for him. But I'm sure he appreciates the kind words.

@@canadiandynamite5834 I do have editors, but they only do what I trained them to do. So basically this is my editing style, and they just copy it to save me time, if that makes sense.

@@TheDuelLogs I find that even cooler personally!

@@TheDuelLogs an Easter egg muscle medic pose is a great callback to the marauding captain

@@TheDuelLogs could you tribute tokens like scapegoat for Hysteric fairy?

Man, that's busted as hell.

I wanna know is how people figure this stuff out xD

@@Master1Morrison I made a deckout deck centered around reusing Morphing Jar and Needle Worm with The Shallow Grave and Spear Cretin, then I noticed how Spear Cretin's effect "worked" and played around with it a little.

I assume it's a parody card, the artwork looks like marauding captain

I could probably abuse Muscle Medic even now if I handed it to my opponent and crashed all four of my Scapegoat tokens into it. There aren’t many easy ways to rack up 8800 LP’s like that, especially if I could follow up on that somehow.

@@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire it's still kinda too slow for modern yugioh. Life point gain in general isn't as big of a deal was it was in say 2004 - 2006. You're basically wasting a turn you could be using to win the game (especially when the name of the game in modern yugioh is to win in one turn).

@@Drakorre helps that he and the Captain are on Back To The Front and other cards that humiliate the Captain.

@@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire hands down, you can easily gain over 20k lp with a single card, and that's considered not worth it because you still go -1. Your combo goes -4 (you lose a monster, your scapegoats and a card to give control, your opponent gains a monster) and doesn't even gain half that many lp. That's not abusing it at all.

Isn't there an xyz monster that does gambling with the number 7? would that work

7 was released back when archetypes were denoted by "cards with [archetype] in its name" rather than "[archetype] cards".

So this means that you could accidentally send your opponent's Jackpot 7 cards to the graveyard and instantly lose as a result?

@@HazeEmry Lucky Straight who is #7

At least Griggle gives you a lot of LP and it has really bad stats, so playing it with Creature Swap to steal a monster, gain 3000 LP, and then squish it with a strong attack isn't the worst thing you could do. Even then, it's hardly the best card for that purpose.

Exactly. Now something like Ameba however, with an opposite effect, does good with the Creature Swap method

@@crazychristopher1989 Yeah, I remember seeing some really old Water beatdown decks that ran Ameba as a way to steal wins.

@@misterbadguy7325 but honestly... if u going to use creature swap u might as well use the ritual 4k atk blue eyes deck. cause there is a combo u can use creature swap with a zero def card so u do 8k damage.

@@ladyriethegoldendelmo5441 Yeah, I was talking like, stupidly old decks. Goat Format-era. Obviously, the Ameba/Creature Swap combo is absolute garbage nowadays.

Her card is Trial of the Princess LORE. So many of her cards mostly Pikeru is cause of LORE. As Konami is known for prioritizing LORE over sensible card design *cough* Flamevell LORE Man

Bastion agrees

@@soukenmarufwt5224 you act like rite of aramesia and dragma doesn't exist Those archetype were predominantly have more female members than male, rite 2 aqua and gryphon rider.

I know that Curran and Pikeru decks and archetypes are intentionally terrible, but I love the idea of having a monster level up in such a creative fashion. I tried to make a couple of joke Pikeru/Curran Decks in Legacy of the Duelist, they're definitely just fun to play around with, with almost certainty that you will lose.

Hey there, Bastion.

Call it "I am Seto Kaiba!"

You can use some fairies to create a “life point increase” deck it’s kinda fun, but would probably be destroyed by anything remotely meta lol.

There was a LP gain deck you could use in the YGO GX GBA game, but it was really only used in one event where you could duel one of the teachers after failing the monthly exam, and they'd give you money equal to your remaining LP at the end of the duel. Since the goal was just to maximize your LP, there wasn't really a win condition apart from standard beatdown or deckout, since you weren't really trying to win so much as not lose. The goal was to get cards like Cure Mermaid, Spirit of the Breeze, or Dancing Fairy on the field and then use Spells/Traps to keep them alive as long as possible, or utilize an AI exploit that forces all of their monsters into Defense position if you control the highest-ATK monster on the field.

​@@SirMerciless I mean most gren maju decks can gain stupid lp pretty fast. From experience if you go first and have soul absorb and any "banish" card like macro cosmos, at least online they kinda tripple your lp (unless they harpies) cause they just combo even if there cards are going to banish and gaining you lp

I didn't realise Bastian Misawa had a KZfaq account. ;)

In the description Is Number 2 lol

I also like her and her black counterpart

@@happinezz0236 Blackcurrant is probably my preferred flavour of the two. Though I can't speak from experience on how White Pickels taste, the main deciding factor was probably that I generally prefer inflicting damage to gaining life points. -Im sorry for turning this into lame puns-

Same. Such a great middle man in Tri-Holy God Advent.

Works well in a casual deck based on removing cards from play. Suprised the video didn't mention the option of somehow returning the card to the hand once flipped too

lol, it was actually just a coincidence. Sometimes the stars align

Feels like sparks hitting me.

@@CErra310 🤓

I know there's some gold coin moon thing that lets you draw 2 cards by giving 2 from your hand to your opponent. I was thinking of using that in some kind of crazy combo with cards that require you declaring a specific card type/name that your opponent has, but I can't think of any cards that would be amazingly useful with that

You could, but putting a bad card in your deck that isn't easy to search for one interaction with a different card that isn't easy to search so you can go - 2 for essentially nothing important in exchange, isn't very good.
