That ending bit was rough. So many people confusing "card *I* thought weren't good at the time" with how well they actually performed. I'll submit Cold Wave, as a card that locks both players out of S/T for a turn was in an entirely different dimension of use in early Yugioh vs how impossibly busted it would be now. It had to be kicked to the forbidden list as soon as they seriously started increasing the game's complexity.

[@Doombacon]

Cold wave was printed at a time that the best cards in the game were all spells and traps. The game being slower didn't make cold wave bad either as it allowed you to set up for two turn kills any time you won the board.

[@lilsunny7399]

it locks you out of backrow too so unless you were so up on card advantage that you'd basically already won it wasn't that good. It was played don't get me wrong, but not amazing. Once it was easier to set up boards of powerful monsters they limited it and it was very strong in like. Edison.

[@kingkodes1007]

Woah woah woah lets not get all revisionist history up in here, the reason why appointer wasn't played sooner wasn't just that people didn't realize the power of seeing and ripping a card out of your opponents hand, it was because mind crush was pretty objectively the better card. Take a card from your opponents grip 90% of the time, see their hand, and in the worst case you still get the info without having to pay 2k or revealing your hand. Sure it went to grave instead of banish, but usually thats still good enough Problem is that because of a rule change making it so you no longer have to verify hand or decks for effects like mind crush, it became unplayable.

[@ChampionMarx]

Mind crush some times takes a card out of hand if you already know one or can just guess. Red lotus take out any card any time it is used. Red lotus says: Yea you don't need that board breaker

That’s true, but appointer didn’t start seeing play for a long time after Mind Crush got nerfed into the ground. As far as I’m aware at least.

Fallen of Albaz was a soft-brick who still had utility in hand post structure deck, to a way to ftk Dragon Link even when they ended on their own ftks, to the most central piece of Branded as a deck. Which is really funny when initially, his utility was a bad addition in Dogmtaika decks where you could use him to out some stuff by using his effect to fuse into Titaniklad on turn 5. Similarly, Visas Starfrost wasn't really great up until Manadium came out. I remember some builds of Scareclaw running him to try to make Baronne and some very experimental Tear builds that tried to use him to also make Baronne, but he just wasn't cutting it in either. The fact that those 2 lore boys started out as bad before getting their own dedicated deck really puts into perspective how good Diabellstar is as a card, and really puts a divine fear into my soul when I think about what her eventual dedicated deck will be like.

"Hang on, this one felt a bit short." *checks time left* Oh boy.

I lost it when you got to Compulsary

Wait wait wait you're telling me Black dragon and white dragon, which came out in shadow specters, were also in a structure deck that came out a year earlier??? Insane

Comments all talking about the epilogue while I'm still here just singing Air Man Ga Taosenai to myself 🙃

[@nerfirelia8235]

A few of those cards I could understand people getting wrong, but Dandy, Called by, and FUTURE FUSION is just insane.

Damn, that compilation at the end. Either everyone was trolling OR they really are that young.

[@chaos_magician6689]

My choice is Tyrant Neptune. It didn’t really see play until they revealed Independent Nightingale and we found the FTK. (And before you say that it’s not an FTK, it technically was because, outside of Kaijus, there wasn’t any good ways to out the Neptune)

[@meathir4921]

It... was an FTK. You copied the effect with the Starving Venom contact fuse

[@chaos_magician6689]

@@meathir4921This was before SKSV. Both it and Neptune weren’t legal at the same time.

I’m surprised aqua dolphin wasn’t named. From neos pack filler to an engine for Isolde that also hand rips.

[@OhNoItsSCP-682]

Atleast the epilogue tells us we get new players

[@adrifitz8793]

I remember trading off my copy of soul charge back in middle school when it was still legal. I later found out that it was without a doubt the best spell card at the time. By the time I realized this, the friend I traded it to had transferred out so it was impossible for me to get it back before hitting the banlist
