The Strongest Yugioh Cards That Did Absolutely Nothing - Blue-Eyes Chaos Max (2016)

[@traplover6357]

Chaos Max has now become younger Duelists' first gatekeeper as they were first casual players in Master Duel 😂

[@Dyllon2012]

One of my proudest moments was killing it as Dark Magician before Timaeus was released. I had to hold them off until I managed to get enough materials on board for Access Code Talker.

[@Citizen_Nappa23]

I've defeated it with magician of faith top that 😉

[@lordofthered1257]

Quick Correction. You cannot search Chaos Max off of Pre-Prep. You should but can't because Konami says no.

[@spyreofthewolves8125]

Explain? Chaos Form and ARA don’t say the words “Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon”, so why should it be searchable by Pre-Prep?

[@lordofthered1257]

@@spyreofthewolves8125 I know. Most ritual spells do specifically say the monster in its text. Which means Konami specifically and deliberately went out of their way to make sure it wasn't stated and to this day we Blue-Eyes enthusiasts still feel cheated.

[@myoblivion420]

Not really, it just has MAX in it's name so it cant be searched.

[@theonlyafropuff]

​@@spyreofthewolves8125 i believe the non-MAX version is searchable

[@Virulence-xb2rv]

its better to run impcantation for the fact you can give your opponent a 0 defense monster and they serve as materials

[@markmorales7958]

Now we have Dragon Magia Master (currently in the OCG) to help BE players to cheese out Chaos MAX by using the Big D*** Ritual as a fusion material with Ultimate Fusion. And when the card leaves the field, you get a free Chaos Max as a backup. Making the ritual process obsolete. It kinda shows how slow the original intention is when put into practice.

[@sun332s7]

Use it to summon Chaos Max Magician instead so you can turn skip them.

[@Darkmagecurt]

@sun332s7 I been wanting to make a deck where I can use dark magician chaos ritual lol never wirks

[@nicholasduve7391]

lol don’t wanna be that one guy cap but ruling check time! You can’t search chaos MAX with pre-prep as its name is not specifically listed on the ritual spell chaos ritual says any chaos ritual not chaos max itself so therefore you can’t search it with pre prep lol

[@doubl2480]

The number of people who were making that mistake at the time is astonishing. Even today it continues... The fact Chaos Max was not searchable by Pre-Prep was probably one of the biggest reasons it never got off the ground, in my opinion.

[@nicholasduve7391]

@@doubl2480 definitely interesting! though I will say I don’t think even if Chaos MAX was searchable off of pre-prep it wouldn’t have made much of a difference just would make builds a little more consistent but still not enough to keep up with other mega decks at the time as you’re still running a ritual deck and it’s a blue eyes deck at that which is most known for having the nick name brick eyes by the community as builds can have clogging hands with too many high level monsters

[@bijuutamer729]

People are saying it but I think if you could Summon MAX off of pre-prep the deck would have seen a lot more use. MAX decks problems were infamously consistency from what I remember.

[@eurovisionfannz2348]

I actually did very well with Chaos MAX at locals back in 2017 when those Extra Deck limitations came into effect (can't remember the Master Rules number); came Top 4!

[@itzskyfallgaming7543]

lol I had a friend who did well too at the very beginning of MR4 when a lot of ppl didn’t know what to play 😂

[@sabrac711]

Correction: On the day this video is uploaded, it is no longer the highest Ritual attack ritual monster. That title goes to Drytron Meteonis Alpha Draconids (DAD)

[@MJ-oi6ul]

Funny it’s like they did this just so capg can be wrong 😂

[@MutantsInDisguise]

Such an informative video. Still, despite it all, Chaos MAX is my all-time favorite Blue-Eyes card. I know it's a brick, as are all Blue-Eyes cards, but I love this brick. It's well protected from effects (like Obelisk) and can deal double damage. Plus, its design: white with blue wing, talons, and claws, and the card's board is blue, a color I love, and both it and its generic CHAOS sibling are the only Blue-Eyes cards that are DARK.

[@Zeta1127]

Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon does work against decks that only target and/or destroy for removal, which has happened in Master Duel on occasion. I still try to make Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon, Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon, and Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon work, and keep running them all in Blue-Eyes even though they aren't the best. One of these days I want to build Blue-Eyes and Dark Magician irl and try to make the anime stuff work, not that I care about competitive Yu-Gi-Oh.

[@taranfravel4402]

So because labyrinth and kashtira have only effects that target, if u get chaos max out and they don’t have like a kaiju or something then they basically can’t do anything

[@Citizen_Nappa23]

​@@taranfravel4402depends not necessarily ppl do run non target removal and Chaos Max is protected from just targeting and destruction. For example a lab deck could be running quaking mirror force the chaos max and rest monsters would be flipped and stuck facedown. Just one example their are plenty of non target removal options those decks could run.

[@taranfravel4402]

@@Citizen_Nappa23 yeah I would think that but I’ve never seen them run those cards tho, it’s always the same 4 cards, welcome, big welcome, and the 2 monsters, never see them run anything else so chaos max or tyrant will almost always win

[@TK11223]

Fun Fact: Blue-Eyes Chaos Max Dragon is very good in anime character deck duel format

[@Zetact_]

"I put in a 'win more' card but now I'm winning less?!"

[@williamdrum9899]

Nice reference

[@kuyaboben5300]

I remember one of my “heart of the card” moments, I was playing in Dueling Nexus, was trying out the new Dark Magician supports at the time, and the opponent was using a freaking Blue-Eyes deck. He got chaos max out and I almost surrendered because he wiped my board and I had 0 hand cards. Literally was about to press surrender, then drew Palladium Oracle Mahad. I was so bamboozled and I wished I recorded it. Went on to win that duel two turns later hahahaha. Now, whenever I build a Dark Magician deck, be it ygopro, or Master Duel, I make sure to put at least one Mahad due to my love for that card hahaha

[@frankyquilavafireblast895]

I thought you can’t use Pree preparation of rights for chaos Max

[@JamesDKyrts]

You cannot. If you do it, you are pretty much sharking the opponent.

[@danshiguard4187]

Not sharking. Outright cheating

[@markmorales7958]

As a Blue-Eyes player, I approve this video 👍

[@tespenkr9924]

This card is ridiculous in casual play. Whenever my friends try to play it, I do anything possible to brick it in hand or spin it.

[@SpectreXS]

Unfortunately this is yet another card that falls under "gigahuge boss monster", that isn't volatile enough and, well, loses to 1 kaiju or whatever.

[@drunkennephilim2995]

I think the big issue Max had from a competitive stand point was that it released in the same set as Crystal wing synchro dragon, a card that was in a lot of extra decks, wasnt too hard to make and answers it by itself. Why play towers turbo when your towers is easily answered by an extra deck staple of the time

[@qiwentan5318]

I used to run one copy of Chaos max in my Drytron deck when Master Duel just launch, it sometimes catches people off guard when I have a bad hands and they assume I have no ability to otk them

[@odd-eyesdragoon]

You’d think by now Konami would created busted Blue-Eyes support.

[@philithegamer8265]

Happy that they didn't. BEWD's overrated outside of Kisara...

[@emotionalsupport]

I splashed it in a Drytron deck with Book of Moon as a cheese deck because you know how people love to go first they dont expect to see a Chaos Max one shot their boss card that has 0 Def. ...then even if they dont get one shot they have to play around an untargetable 4k beater that will end the duel on its next attack. I would just side deck the entire engine for the Herald engine for game 2 and its gg

@@catsorafgc Nah. Blue-Eyes Ultimate Chaos Dragon. Which locks your opponent out of summoning Spellcaster or Warrior monsters while it's on the field.

[@harryc657]

I noticed in this meta that a lot of top decks either targets or destroys. I have won games just having that protection. They have to go out of their way to get rid of those cards, say Zeus for example. MAXX is just hard to bring out thanks to being a ritual monster, and blue eyes like to fusion, not ritual.

[@Citizen_Nappa23]

Reason it doesn't get played is because it's locked to ritual summoning which means you have to commit to setup for a ritual summon. If it was an Effect Blue Eyes monster it would see alot more play. But because you have to commit too so many resources to a ritual summon you barely see it played. Card itself is good not great but a pretty strong Blue Eyes Boss monster would see alot more play if it wasent a ritual monster.

[@firestorm5432]

This was my first deck in master duel which got me into the game, I still have good success with it, it’s easy to search with manju or bingo machine go that can be searched with true light which also searches chaos form and sonic bird, and then slap in some blue eyes and alt and jet and some generic staples ie monster reborn raigeki magic cylinder ash maxx c and imperm etc and you got a pretty reliable first turn kill if they have anything in defense position

[@Yomi2012]

2016 was the year that dark sanctuary finally came out. that card is what made me come out of retirement

[@Virulence-xb2rv]

You cant search off prep but you can with impcantation. Impcantation can search both the ritual spell and monster and also give your opponent 0 def bodies which can open up windows to otk

[@skyknighteman7022]

It's biggest impact was being responsible for a line from a certain Dueling Book judge that will forever live on in infamy. "Stop saying Chaos Max he's not playing it!"

[@platypusfox73]

Yeah, Choas Max is one of those cards where if you summon it, you better end the game on that turn with that effect. Otherwise, it does nothing.

[@johnkiggs108]

We had a few guys playing it at my locals when it came out. Couldn't stand a chance against my cyber dragons though lol. I'd always either swing over it or kaiju it away

[@h3llg3ar]

The house known as the Blue-Eyes White Dragon deck has a BUTT TON OF BRICKS. Even with all of the polish it had in 2016, adding 4-6+ bricks wasn't worth the effort, or risk of having something so powerful be dead in hand. Sadly, the power-ups in 2018's Legendary Duelists 3 didn't help it either with it being reprintedd in the set, and a lo-rent version in Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon. Luckily, the big boy got some love in Master Duel when it dropped there, but that is still short lived. Sadly, the updated engine of destruction is nothing more than a glory days piece now that was succeeded by Kite and the Galaxy-Eyes deck.

Chaos max is bad because it does nothing when it hits the board. It doesn’t do anything to actually advance your gameplay/change the board state in any way.

There is an easy way to fix this problem although it could open doors to new problems If you have a ritual spell card, just make it so that the monster can also be special summon from the deck but you can see why this will be a huge problem.

[@LowellLucasJr.]

Usually one of my favorite Blue-Eyes Decks that has become completely niche! I still love playing with this deck but I hope to one day bring it to prominence if the right kind of support for generic ritual monsters can work out. Luckily I combined it with a Level 8 dragon that helps but not by much.😂

Honestly if I could legally search it with pre-prep my life would have been golden but sadly you cant. Searchability would have made turboing it out with impcantation, megalith, or drytron 20x easier. The biggest obstacle for me was always getting it on the field.

[@josepharmstrong6852]

MORE vids I have an idea for new master rule. Want to know what you think. So here it is both players can't summon or set monster's till turn 3 of the duel but both players can set spell/ traps which can't be activated till turn . I think this would make people play traps again not sure if this fixes the game but it would be intresting. The duel would go something like this. Turn 1 player A sets 2-3 cards and then passes turn player B sets a few of their own then passes over to player A. The rule which prevents either player activating them till turn 3 means you shouldn't get them cosmic-ed ect. I know this could have issues but it would be interesting to see what would happen if they did this. Or at least try it out on master duel.

[@gmradio2436]

Seems like reveal from hand and discard effect would run rampant. The slow build up would be under cut by token creation. Cards with graveyard effects would also play quicker.

It never saw play because it was a bricky card in an already bricky deck. It wasn't the format preventing it from being good otherwise it would have popped up every now and then.

At some point snake eyes suck to it because i cant deal with the overwhelming attcks and flood gates you can push at it repeatedly now rememeber chaos max is awesome but dont make it the end all be all unless it can end that fight right there i literally was short. Attack for it. Like 5 hours ago but. It tapping into dragulbion and making numeron dragon to get the kills what. Can happen a million differentways to win with blue eyes off .

A tyrant dragon draglubion and. The synchro on board. Or. Blue eyes fusion and my dude or numeron dragon and. All the other. Photon monsters that can randomly pop in between.
