Reviewing Every Pot Yu-Gi-Oh! Spell Card

[@TheActMan]

I am disappoint. How could you forget the most impactful Pot card that's ever been released? It's not even a Pot... It's a Jar... of Greed

[@Dzeeff]

THE Act Man? In my comment section? Big fan :)

[@TheActMan]

Thanks boss! I'm a fan of your Yugioh videos too! You know what would be cool if you haven't done it already is a video on cards that appear in multiple other cards. For example, how Marauding Captain and Gagagigo appear in the art of several other cards like, My Body as a Shield, Reinforcement of the Army, Warrior Returning Alive, etc. Dunno what points could be made about strategy and playability but it'd be a cool video nonetheless

Hey, I can remember at least one instance in the first season of the GX dub where they didn't explain it...

[@幽霊船-o4h]

actually...in japanese dub they read out tje effects of EVERY card so yes it isnt something special im also pretty sure they did that in the eng dub (didnt watch it tho) so why is it a meme?

[@AhsimNreiziev]

Basically what +RxY said. The only reason _Pot of Greed_ is more meme-able than any other card (all of which the effects were also explained every time they were played), is because it is the effect-having card that was easily played most often in the Anime.

Pot of Avarice can't ever Come back, 2020: at 3 barely played

[@jesseymarchlewski8534]

Don't lie to me!

[@tootsie_]

I actually play it in generic cyberse (at 3 in my 60 card variant and at 2 in my 40 card variant). Through 1 normal summon combo of Widget Kid + Lady Debug, going first, you can make a 4 material Saryuja, use its 3 material effect to SS one extra monster from hand (from one of the monsters you draw from the 4 material effect, ideally.) Link that off into Borrelsword, use Avarice to draw 2, and potentially keep combos going. Worst case scenario, the combo ends in a borrelsword. Really fun deck, highly recommend. They have all sorts of weird and crazy support.

[@StarkMaximum]

Considering how it was the first new Pot Of spell ever made after Pot of Greed, Pot of Generosity is actually pretty hilarious. It's clearly made to be the opposide of Pot of Greed in every way - it's slim rather than fat, it has a calm expression rather than Greed's manic one, it has two handles instead of one, the names are obviously opposites, and Greed takes two cards from your deck while Generosity gives two cards to your deck. The only way Pot of Generosity could be more opposite to Pot of Greed is if it were a trap or something.

[@reviewception4328]

Damien Lassiter well, as far as I know in the OCG the format doesn't keep a bunch of monsters in the grave right now, so it makes sense. Either they're banishing their monsters or they want those monsters there, so the shuffle cost actually is a cost right now

[@pickyphysicsstudent201]

Thanks ya' think that Dzeeff claims Desires is great (which it is) because it is played in tournaments and is in all the top decks (which it is) but here we have Avarice not being played when it can and yet no one does, even as a one off, in something like ABC, where you can put back your Dragon Busters.

[@lotgc]

Well, pot of avarice is limited now. It appears it could even be semi limited soon

[@pickyphysicsstudent201]

Excuse me, but Pot of Generosity is a +1 because while you are using one card from your hand, you're putting two cards into your deck and the cards in the deck do matter because that is where they come from. Greed is just wrong but generosity is good. I remember this one game, where I opened with 2 Pot of Generosities and used them to put back my starting hand into my deck where it would be safe from my opponent's Gouki deck's Topologic Gamblar's ExtraLink discard effect, where you can force your opponent to discard 2, if it's ExtraLinked. It's the best of all the pot cards. Pot of Greed... I have no idea what it does. Pot of Avarice has a Hitler mustache. Pot of Benevolence can be used to give your opponent back their cards from their GY, so it could be used as a neg 3, in that regard because you loose 1 and they gain 2 for their deck. Pot of Duality prevents special summoning and is a +0. Pot of Dichotomy, is grammatically incorrect because it shuffles 3 types of monsters but Dichotomy means: a division or contrast between *two* things that are or are represented as being opposed or entirely different. That's just wrong because 2 is not 3. Pot of Riches looks funny. Pot of Desires is a neg 9. Pot of Acquisitiveness is something I cannot pronounce, therefore it's bad.

[@Kingminer13579]

Generosity is a -3. The deck is NOT a resource. You cannot take a card from anywhere in your deck and use it. Which means, a card at the top of your deck is just as useless as a card at the bottom of your deck.

[@Kingminer13579]

Desires is a +1 for the same reason. Plus, most non-Exodia decks play most of the combo pieces as 2 ofs or 3 ofs

[@disuelverocas]

Graceful Charity

[@schwarzerritter5724]

Beary Boy Graceful Charity does have a slightly higher chance to draw a specific card you need, but most of the time, ending up with 1 more card than what you had before you cast the spell is much better. However, Graceful Charity is a convenient way to get specific cards into the Graveyard, which makes it better in specific decks.

1:35 Pot of Greed has always been unbalanced in the card game. The card was made really to give characters in the manga and anime a reason to put more cards in their hands so they can keep playing new crazy stuff. Back when it wasn't MEANT to be a card game. It ain't a card, it's a plot device. In both cases, totally overpowered.

Pot of Acquisitiveness can also shuffle back your opponent's banished monsters, so you could potentially use it as disruption against some strategy, along with forcing an ABC dragon buster by targeting the 3 pieces so they HAVE to tag out for them to not lose the 3 pieces for a while.

[@Neefew]

I would argue that pot of greed is the best card in the game since it works with any deck (except if you didn't want to draw cards) meaning that if it wasn't on the forbidden list, it would probably be run 3 of in every deck

It's funny to me that Pot of Averice in the video is considered still dangerous because so many decks and dump 5+ monsters into the GY in one turn, but it's now unlimited. And I think the reason for that is a lot of monsters in the GY, put there by the turn player, are probably there for a reason and they don't want them in their deck.

[@NoobDoesGamingBS]

Yea he said he doesn't think it will ever be ubanned, yet now its unlimited

[@NickersonGeneral]

That is a reason, but I think the more likely reason is that the card ends up being dead in the hand if your combo gets interrupted.

I experimented with Pot of Riches in Amorphages around the time when they first came out and for the pure build it didn't do the legwork I hoped it would have done, but it certainly didn't hurt to run at 1 at the time. It was useful to recycle the level 2's if you were in a situation were you were forced to tribute them (Either in the pend zone or as a monster) and that was pretty handy, but I never really liked to see it in my first hand so it was more of a Mid-game/End-game card. There were probably better options over it at the time, but Network/YGOChrome went down around the time so I wasn't able to do extensive testing with anything else, and being a budget player I really tried to find anything that was useful (Or at least sounded useful) with a cost limit but I had fun with it for a good while. Unfortunately it was one of the decks that lost most of its playability in Master Rule 4. At least for pure as far as I'm aware.

The other thing to remember is that even if you're running three Pot of Desires, you're probably not going to *use* all three. Players ran three just so they saw it as early as possible.

[@SMAXZO]

dzeff If that's the only way to get draw 2's...I'll take my risk with draw 1 cards.

[@MariusDSchiller]

I just realized that flavor/artwork wise, pot of desires is a misfit; before it, konami would release two opposite pots followed by a combination of them. Desires, however is just a combination of greed and avarice, who already have combination pots in duality and dichotomy (even the effects fit decently in this flavor). So in conclusion: the scrubs were right all along; pot of desires is garbage!

[@MariusDSchiller]

Although greed, avarice and desires (as in the words) are very similar in concept, and thus making pot of desires decent in that context... idk man

[@hoanganphanle]

Just realize that every single card that has Pot of Greed part is either broken or competitively viable

[@braindeadporter]

One use I have found for pot of acquisistiveness is in a more miracle fusion based hero deck using wonder driver to recycle the miracle fusion and make a link 3 and use miracle fusion again to make another hero to make up for your losses or go in to another link 4 monster and then use pot of acquisitiveness to recycle the banished heros and draw 1, it’s not a half bad combo

Hey man it's great that you enjoy putting those clouds in the air, Zork knows I do. Take right now for instance.

One series that might be cool: Signature attacks. Things like Burst Stream of Destruction, Dark Magic Attack, exc. An analysis of how good they are in their respective decks could be useful. Enjoy vacation, Doug!

so, you like Pot of Negative 9 (desires)? BALSPHEMY! (I'm not kiding)

[@BMVfilms]

It's just a testament on how decisive the first turns of the match have become. ANYTHING that can provide extra resources before your opp gets anything online is worth at least considering viability.

[@joaocisne556]

if it banishes face-down it'sa an automaitac NO to me.

[@Kenichi44-v6n]

I think limited pot of greed wouldnt be so bad these days Meta decks will keep having broken combos with pot of greed or without it Pot of greed only would give more consistency to non meta decks But having it forbidden is a tradition and also gives konami the chance to create diversity of spells and archetype pot of greed versions

[@NickersonGeneral]

If you're under the impression meta decks won't get more consistent with pot of greed, you're mistaken.

[@Kenichi44-v6n]

@@NickersonGeneral it could be negated by ash blossom There is no real difference Meta decks can still make cancerous boards without pot of greed

[@Letrest64]

Exactly ...all will be good ... a lot of engines now has pluses, so compo players are more advsnce than other players so i guess its fair to bring 1 pot of greed now on 1 ,also limit other of the draw cards

FAQ Q:Wat dus pot uf gried doo?? A: Let’s you draw 2 cards. Sorry I didn’t follow your meme agenda. 🤷‍♂️

[@meanestgreen3320]

they should make an archetype around pot of generosity and benevolence . ex: if pot of generosity is activated reveal this card in your hand, draw 2 cards and set 1 pot of benevolence from your deck. if this card would be shuffled from the graveyard into the deck (quick effect) add 1 pot of generosity from your deck or graveyard to your hand. if your opponent would draw a card shuffle this faceup card into your deck negate that effect and discard 1 card from your opponents hand (your choice). or something along those lines. i imagine them being like inquisitors.

I remember when pot of duality came out just because my local tcg basically didn't restrict how many pre releases you could get. Ended up walking away with a full naturia/bicorns after selling 3 pot of dualities with basically 40 bucks spent.

I want rata to explain every pot card in his emo tune

[@WeirdBoySkuzag]

tim5fl I would, too

[@calvinbarboza]

Pot of desires is an interesting case of retroactive balancing where the addition of powerful effects that require garnets or bring cards out of the deck like Eldlich and Sky Striker make desires unplayable in them. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Konami has power crept these types of strats with cards like Dragoon while keeping slightly weaker engines access to Desires.

[@Xfighter22]

Funny how much changes in 4 years. Pot of Avarice has been unlimited for at least 2 years now? And it sees absolutely no competitive play cuz if you can't draw 2 off of it before ur turn 1 combo, it's essentially useless. But agreed, in older formats like Edison, pot of Avarice does feel better than pot of greed outside of the fact you usually can't use it on the first couple turns of the game.

[@llamaryder1]

Hey my dude I know you're a tcg based player but avarice in the past few ocg lists has been experimented with coming off, it went from limited to semi to completely off over the course of 3 or 4 lists. I do not keep up much with the ocg, but it's my understanding that it has not seen any sort of errata and it still currently doesn't see any competitive success despite no restrictions. I was shocked when I saw it off the list tbh, I agree with you that the card's applications today make it seem invaluable. Imagine having 3 avarice in zoo format. I get a lil Precum ooze just imagining it. The current lack of meta relevance may also likely stem from our current meta trend of t1 decks that don't play/spam a ton of monsters immediately such as tricksters and sky strikers. In those decks you're essentially playing down a card opening it. The decks that are likely to fill the gy such as abc, ba, plants before their hits, and lightsworn/grass decks usually would rather have their monsters stay in their gy for other purposes like buster, cir loops, barbar, fairy tale snoww, etc. the most logical deck initially in my mind was gouki. Goukis shit out extra deck monsters as well as their main deck monsters not really doing much in the gy once their search effect has been burned for the turn. However, we really only see the link climbing and gy fillup when they've gone off, and goukis biggest challenge is when they're looking to start up. Essentially playing 1 card down before you can start up vastly outweighs the plus/recycle. One last reason I believe is the complete lack of necessity to main ways of drawing past startup thanks unfortunately to skulldread needlefiber Isolde and especially knightmares. The gradual increase of extras serving dual functions of removal and pluses allows us to gear our main decks to focus almost exclusively on making initial plays and stopping those of the opponents. All of this combined has made avarice unfortunately power crept at least for now. I must assume their will be a deck in the near future that will make it a problem. Just figured I'd add something to the discussion. Also, pot of dichotomy did see competitive use upon release. It came out as HAT began rising to prominence which coincidentally was the one deck that easily tolerated every drawback due to the lack of special summoning on your own turn, the ability to recycle your hands, and the control play style dominating causing games to have a lot of turns to get around having the cold wave activation requirement.

[@doot5292]

Reviewing every Jar card next? (The trap cards, not the flip monsters)

[@TomtomTM1]

Question at hand for my case: I play a pure Sky Striker Deck for my locals and many people have Kagari AT LEAST in their side decks, if not baseline. Would Acquisitiveness at 3 be the choice? Or rather 2? It just seems like a powerful counter to getting my Kagari banished a few too many duels

[@MrMarinus18]

I wonder what about turbo duels? What if they had tried that for real in the game? One addition that I think would have been good perhaps is to put a cost of speed counters on it for special summon. Maybe to keep it intuitive make it 1 speed counters for a level 5-6 monster and 2 speed counters for a level 7+. That cost is low but it's not 0 so it would still put the brakes on some decks that spam a lot of high level monsters. I know right now that's pretty much impossible to impliment but I think it would have been a neat way to play in the synchro era.

[@aeris2704]

What do the numbers and letter below the artwork and above the text box mean? Examples from this video: YGLD-ENB26 DR04-EN043 LCJW-EN290 LEDD-ENA26 LDK2-ENK30 LEDD-ENC20 CT14-EN004 INOV-EN065

dzeeff oh okay. Thanks. And so the letter before it would probably be something relating to what set it is

[@Dzeeff]

@@aeris2704 The first four characters are the set, the two letters after the hyphen shows the language, and the numbers show that card's place within the overall set

[@aeris2704]

dzeeff oh right. Thank you soo much. I was confused about that, but that clears it up. Thank you a lot

[@DoctorFalchion]

Was hoping you would mention 'Shard of Greed,' since it's essentially a Pot card (and wouldn't fit into a Jar card video either), but oh well.

[@MotorcycleCheetah]

I dunno if it’s just me. I always thought of Pot of Greed as a +2, not 1. The reason I see it as a +2, is because outside of drawing cards, it’s nonexistent, it has no other effect than Drawing 2 other Cards, so it’s more like a Phantom than an actual Card, but that’s just me. It makes sense to me, but, that is just me.

[@Dzeeff]

That's fair. I think when most people think of card advantage, though, they look at how many cards you start with versus how many you end with. So you start with 1 card (Greed) and then you end with 2 cards. So it's a net gain of 1 card

[@MotorcycleCheetah]

That is true. So, I guess one might say in Game Sense it’s +1, but +2 in a Spiritual Sense? Maybe? Am I over thinking this? I think I’m overthinking this.

[@addisonjones2712]

I think pot of acquisitiveness might be a good way to reduce the cost of the pot of desires. like play desires then play acquisitiveness and then you've only dropped 7 cards from the deck and 2 from the hand to draw 3. it's still only a +1 but you do get to retrieve any key cards that might have been lost to the banish effect.

[@Dzeeff]

You can't use Acq on face down banished cards :(

[@DexterityYTC]

A BLS deck could use Pot of Acquisitiveness pretty successfully. That deck banishes it's own ritual spells and materials as well as half your board and a random card from your hand. More of a rogue or casual deck, but worth a mention I think.

[@spacewizardpip1111]

I love the Pots. They’re very interesting and I’d love if they were kinda good cuz some aren’t at all.
