Flip Monsters are Inherently Flawed in Yu-Gi-Oh

[@FloreyXE]

Worms actually had tops during six sam format I played them once and they're actually not as bad as most people say

I didnt know about that honestly and it would be nice to find out how the hell did that happen. Point taken though, but I try to consider more modern formats in my videos since they are more closer to the present and more relevant to the general player. End result, though, is me not talking about the colourful and impactful history of flips (such as not going to talk all about magician of faith looping spells or gravekeepers stalling with flip monsters for tribute setup).

@@ASalomon69they have a busted trap card that flips all of your monsters face up, activating their effects, one of which is a compulse. Then on end phase you flip all monsters on your field face down and draw up to the works you flipped face down. After that special a light lv 7 worm from deck, so King

I think if you add floodgates to any deck or archetype, it becomes good if not somewhat playable or decent. No matter the playability level of that archetype, Flip monsters are no exceptions, can we truly say that the Flip monsters were the reason that the deck did well? . On their own Flip monsters cannot do much, it doesn't matter if they have insane effects or mediacore ones. The time investment is just not worth it, and if you are gonna attach a floodgating effect to a Flip monster, does that even hold true to the legacy of Flip monsters? Or is it just summon limit on legs? It's like Equip cards in Yu-Gi-Oh, they could get the most game breaking effects with insane consistency from Konami in or outside of an archetype but still being brushed off due to how modern Yu-Gi-Oh can deal with Equip cards. Great video btw, looking to see more video essays like this from your channel👍🙌 This topic was extremely thought provoking and fun to follow along throughout the video.

Thanks for your comment! Funny that you mentioned about the "legacy of Flip monsters" because my original scripting wanted to cover that lightly but scrapped it since it should not hold any bearing when designing them in the future, baring some retrains such as magician of sanctifaith to magician of faith where the theme is kept constant as to the past. I also chose to focus on the mechanic itself instead since that was the main issue holding back flip monsters like ritual monsters, whereas spirit monsters are the ones affected by their legacy the most IMO.
