Unstoppable Obelisk FTW

[@HS0Rare]

Neo-Spacian Grand Mole: doesnt target, gg lol

[@Mariogunsman]

HS0Rare That is a rage card im so glad its limited to one but it could go to three if they made it so he still goes to grave when he returns opponents card

[@TheClassb]

Madolche queen tiramisu doesn't target either.

[@KamenFD]

+Master Mayhem no he doesn't. He goes back in your hand. EDIT: I just realised my mistake. My apologies.

[@SuperJackwilson]

+Master Mayhem if they did that they would have to include battle damage which would defeat the purpose of using the card

[@Mariogunsman]

Rob the Hungry Says who? They wouldn't do that. Right now Yugioh is going down the make too much too over powered and this is using the term overpowered correctly in so many ways.

[@Goblin_Hands]

I seem to faintly remember episode 68 (just slightly): Kaiba:"Now prepare to meet: a creature like none you seen before. I will sacrifice my 3 Blue-Eyes: GO MY GREAT BEASTS! So I can summon my Egyptian GOD CARD, an almighty creature. That knows no equal! Behold: its ABSOLUTE power! The INVINCIBLE Obelisk The Tormentor! HAHAHA! You're no match for an Egyptian GOD CARD; Now behold Obelisk The Tormentor's Special Ability. I sacrifice to MORE of my monsters to INCREASE HIS POWER! Now Obelisk, destroy ALL of their monsters." Lumis:"He just wiped out our DEFENSE!" Kaiba:"And now my Egyptian GOD CARD: Finish them off!" Lumis:"I'm really sorry to DISAPPOINT YOU, but Mirror Force will reflect Obelisk's Attack right back at yo-" Kaiba: "I'm afraid that YOU'RE WEAK TRAP WON'T WORK! Heh, Now GO!!" -nuclear explosion occurs- Kaiba: "HAHAHAHA VICTORY IS OURS! YOU TWO ARE FINISHED!"

[@cshahbazi1220]

Watching this in 2015 this is so underwhelming.

[@foxystriker7246]

+Sina Shahbazi ya know right? The newest Xyz and Synchros are like.... wow a round 5 monsters on field or 2 OP cards. With the new Pendulum? Say GB to this old deck m8.

[@cshahbazi1220]

Foxy Striker point is that "can't be targeted or destroyed by card effects" is barely that good anymore. Before spellbooks it really was unstoppable, then came fate which for some reason didn't target but still banished and now half the cards don't target yet can easily remove (monarchs stormforth, trishula, erebus, tiaramisu etc.)

[@lagalil]

Yeah man this is just sad

[@davidvonjohnston]

+Sina Shahbazi I'm watching this in 2016, pretty overwhelming

[@lagalil]

+David von Johnston III Are you from new zeland? 2016 didn't come here yet.

[@TooTakun]

Nice to see someone else run the immortal Obelisk. Obviously there's lots of things that get around it, but the most common would be Honest. But you're right, most of the meta doesn't have a response for something like this. Hell, most of the meta has a hard time with just a regular Obelisk on the field.

[@DanelerHostcrexcum]

***** No, it doesn't. Nothing is being done to Obelisk when using Honest. Your monster is just simply gaining ATK equal to your opponents monster; in this case, Obelisk.

[@GuardianChipO]

Daneler Hostcrexcum plus honest activates during the damage step so obelisk effect doesnt matter

[@mikejpete]

Daneler Hostcrexcum i get destroyed by torrentials. it targets all monsters not Obelisk directly. that's how torrential's technicality works.

[@TooTakun]

But torrential doesn't work if you used Hardened Armed Dragon in Obelisk's summon

[@spectre9065]

PyroTakun How to defeat immortal obelisk 1) Honest 2) Gorz upon obelisk's direct ATK 3) Sephylon the ultimate timelord (even better if u can summon a 4k fairy in addition) 4) Spellbook of fate 5) Madolche queen tiaramisu 6) Skill drain (only for targeting, not destruction) 7) Powerful equip cards (Megamorph, united we stand) 8) Gishki zielgigas 9) Sky scourge norleras 10) MIRROR WALL

[@wyteboy3385]

add mound of the boundful creator then its too OP

[@JewishMonkey01]

"Like, almost nothing can't get over this thing." Excal seems to be able to crash into it @4k atk

[@jonc1130]

The first time i used this setup i lost. I got obelisk on the field and whatever he did i could easily counter. then he had a card that could change the level of all cards on the field. the way it was worded allowed it to target obelisk. My harden Armour dragon was no longer active. He took out obelisk the turn. I still remember that fateful battle to this day.

[@Mernom]

Anime duel?

[@karlgonzalez2338]

so easy way to get over ANY Obelisk is Book of eclipse/ Swords of concealing and crossout. did this in a mirror match of ghostricks where he got it out both rounds and did the same thing twice.

[@minor7364]

creature swap

[@bushcraftfancy7544]

nope remeber hard armed dragon

[@minor7364]

***** creature swap doesnt target :P

[@methodunknownthemethodclon9253]

***** boo

[@vampire4rmHell]

CHOI HJ skill drain. then effects wont even matter

[@midnight22k]

CHOI HJ easiest way would been limiter removal on a machina fortress

[@cmd1095]

I could actually pretty easily hit over Obelisk with my irl deck even back when this video was uploaded provided I had a bit of luck. I ran a machina fortress deck, and while machina fortress couldn't naturally take out obelisk, I had a lot of cards like solidarity or heavy mech support platform which could easily provide me with an extra 1500+ atk to tie/beat obelisk. If I got stuck top-decking I'd be in trouble though.

[@magmar9264]

Can Lava Golem beat Obelisk?

[@C01ADaRkDeViL]

ya lol bc u tribute obelisk

[@PlatinumCollectibles]

you can also use Metaion. I love this card, it's so underrated. It can return every monster from the oponent doesn't matter how well protected it is.

[@Godzilla1282]

CGames Exactly I have an entire deck built around the Timelords and its actually really effective.

[@bobbyblair5464]

You could also go for Excalibur then use his effect and crash into obelisk.

[@frostlze7104]

My friend made a Ice Barrier/Frog deck... It was actually pretty good. Look up the card "Wetlands" , the deck meets that requirement, stalls, and attacks directly.

[@trojinta7850]

storming mirror force ftw? XD

[@thenightstalker6165]

this is a 2013 vidoe...

[@Randyater]

I love the kuriboh on the graveyard when a card is put there.

[@PiratenReport]

Creature Swap

[@TheQoogle]

yup its like gettig out that Hazy Basiltrice with 5 xyz mats and than getting wrecked by creature swap xD

[@PiratenReport]

Thats going to be the new Meta Card

[@xxxYugooxxx]

Because he tributed Hardened Armed Dragon to Summon it. Its effect is "if you Tribute this card for the Tribute Summon of a Level 7 or higher monster, that monster cannot be destroyed by card effects."

[@boredtodeath55]

Any card that makes you return Obelisk to the hand would pretty much trump you. Also Effect Veiler can get rid of the effect of Obelisk not being destroyed by card effects. You'd need some backrow help to keep that Obelisk on after you've succeeded in summoning him by tributing hardened armed dragon.

[@DanelerHostcrexcum]

It wouldn't destroy Obelisk, but I do have a deck that could potentially beat it. I use a Mystical Shine Ball OTK. It uses Venus to summon all three Shine Balls, which I can then power up with Photon Booster (MSB = 2000 ATK). Next, I activate DNA Surgery to make them into machines. This allows me to use Limiter Removal (MSB = 4000 ATK). I finish the combo with Delta Attacker to have (at least 2) Shine Balls attack directly and win the game. Alternately, I can use Seal of Orichalcos and Honest instead of DNA Surgery and Limiter Removal (have Venus attack with Honest's effect for the remaining 2000 damage, which could also kill Obelisk).

[@jonbilgutay2]

this combo also works good with wicked avatar. Since Avatar's atk is always 100+ the highest atk on the field it pretty much can't be destroyed by battle.

[@Lotties_handsaw]

so i cant read the whole combo asnmy screen is too small but wouldnt rainbow neos work to take it out? since it doesn't target obelisk specifically but all monsters and it is not monster destuction?

[@Slaydra]

how will you get a wind? stratos banned lolol

[@eddibonoit]

i tried to play this game but is almost impossible for a new player to get cards, can you give me any advice?

[@Musicboyzero7]

My only question is. I was playing obelisk today and a guy used mirror force and looked up a ruling and it specifically says that mirror force and two other cards CAN destroy obelisk. I followed cuz he showed me a ruling. But I still question WHY?

[@YamiYugi13]

can you make a deck list of this deck

[@fuknames2123]

@98cod just because each player chooses one card does not mean it targets, creature swap is the same and does not target.

[@kronusexodues7283]

put it would prevent the effect, that it can't be targeted by card effects. so with skill drain in play, he can be banished by dimensional prison for example. or simply use compulsory evacuation device.

[@KirbiKnight]

If you can attack over Obelisk, it has to be one of the most satisfing things to do. I did it once with Beast Machine King Barbaros Ur + Horn of the phantom beast against a mecha phantom beast obelisk deck. Going plus off obelisk = awesome

[@livedandletdie]

There are a lot of non targeting single creature removal. Fissure, Hammer Shot, Volcanic Queen too mention a few. That's why I find this easy to get rid of. That's why you should have hammer shot in your side deck.

[@kirasayaera4609]

hm. wasnt sure it would still carry the animation tho. if im right. the back ground being white will make that part transparent? as in with the default circle its just the circle. with white

[@Taz_Olson]

I have always loved the immortal obelisk idea with Hardened arm dragon but I kind of like my version of it better, I don't use frogs to bring it out and I use several other powerful cards like White Night Dragon so it doesn't revolve around having Obelisk and they also help bring out that Obelisk or whatever on the first turn with Hardened Arm Dragon's other effect.

[@Hail2DaKngGaming]

Mirror force doesn't target therefore Obelisk should have been destroyed because his ability on states that he can't be targeted by cards.

[@Mernom]

Hardened armed dragon makes monsters summoned by tributing him immune to eff destruction if they're high enough level.

[@Lizarius]

Incidentally, I had a goof deck once that'd take this on pretty easily. Mystic Tomato into The Dark - Hex-Sealed Fusion, then Instant Fusion for Flame Swordsman. Sac both for Dark Flare Knight, run into Obelisk, get Mirage Knight off of two cards and run over Obelisk, ideally with Honest for extra damage. Actually, wouldn't Honest just outright beat this regardless of everything? Or is that actually banned now? Edit: Just checked, Honest at 2? Almost want to rebuild it, but no idea where any of it even is anymore.

[@1ordTakeo]

Oh. I didn't know that Obelisk hasn't the "cannot be target" effect anymore. Oh, and which Hero fusion does involve the Attribute DIVINE?

[@pookie596]

My Umbral Horrors can negate Hardened Armed Dragon's effect with Number C104: Umbral Horror Masquerade, which is actually quite easy to get out as long as I have a Rank-Up-Magic in my hand.

[@Kel_Vasu]

Blackwing's black sonic has worked in this exact obelisk situation

[@Jan2372]

I'm not sure but couldn't i use dna/fortress combo to get him away by using him as a fusion material? (sry for my bad english...)

[@xxstealerxx]

I used to run this deck a lot back before e-dragons came out and it was a super strong deck. Now that most of the traps to stop obelisk are gone due to the banlist, it's a much more powerful deck. Btw the extra deck is really useful if they manage to stop your obelisk because you can get gachi and other rank 2's for defensive plays.

[@Cryzeification]

iam the only one who is confused cuz obelisk has survived the mirrorforce? in his effect text he cannot be targeted, but mirrorforce does not. so why is he still on the field? pls answer

[@no3mun0z]

I played against a cyber Dragon deck twice and got okt'd both times. They summoned a monster with like 6000 attack that can attack twice. first turn. And destroy my traps too before attacking.

[@m-flamecity8142]

yep that deck is otk based now its not good for anything else

[@nickkapp1736]

Im buying all the playable egyptian god cards and dragon master knight with everything to summon him. Ive also got 5 headed dragon, so on a scale of one to 10 how good will my deck be?

[@TheJumbaco]

Although this is an old video, can you explain why Obelisk survived that Mirror Force at 4:06 ? I was checking the OCG rulings and it says he can since his ability only says "target," which excludes area effects (Dark Hole, etc).

[@AussieRiolu447]

+Roger Lee (The Jumbaco) If you tribute Hardened Armed Dragon for a Level 7 or higher monster, that monster can't be destroyed by Card Effects.

[@TheJumbaco]

Thanks, that's nice to know!

[@zenmodeman]

Yeah I used to play immortal obelisk as well a long time ago. After Azneyes plays it, everyone will think the people playing immortal obelisk are copying him.

[@DNMS41319]

To deal with my brothers powerhouses, I used to use a card called Physical Double. It makes a token during the opponents turn with the same attack as his strongest monster. Would that work here?

[@reperfan4]

My Cloudians can consistently get Nimbusman to 4500-5000 ATK. Given that your deck mostly relies on Obelisk's attacks and (at least from what you showed in the video) can't consistently trigger his destruction effect, all I'd need is a Spirit Barrier/Sanctuary in the Sky, Cloudian Squall, and 2-3 turns to out beatstick Obelisk while you wouldn't be able to get past my monsters without using Obelisk's effect since Cloudians don''t die in battle and the Spirit Barrier/Sanctuary means you can't do damage to me.

[@edwins3991]

great effect but a powerbonded cyber twin and a limiter will trample over or cyber eltani will send to grave not destroy so thats something to think about

[@LeonEdwinsHeart]

Lava Golem, Volcanic Queen, Sky Scourge Norleras and Morphing Jar #2 are some cards that can stop that combo since those cards do not target nor do they destroy.

[@Sparkxtube]

Not when hardened armed dragon is one of the monsters sacrificed to bring it out.

[@zenmodeman]

grand mole doesnt target. d.d. warrior lady doesnt target, madolche queen doesnt target, spellbook of fate doesnt target, creature swap doesnt target. so tell me, what targets?

[@UniverseOmega]

If you can change obelisk's attack to a low number without that targeting it, that would work.

[@oBUNo]

My first day on dueling network someone was using this friggn deck and I was running a stall deck. I had just gotten my setup right too and friggn obelisk comes out.

[@zenmodeman]

Im fully aware that Obelisk is divine. Super poly will still work with either dna transplant (for heros) or dna suregry (for machines though better just to go dna surgery and fortress without super poly to overdragon).

[@Kurial94]

super poly doesn't work. What card uses divine beast and/or divine to fuse?

[@boredtodeath55]

I think DevPro's fire king deck can still top that. Use Tiger King's effect to nullify Obelisk's effect, since it doesn't target, then use Fire Fist Bear's effect to destroy Obelisk.

[@Fudgieownz322]

Masked HERO Koga can banish shit to lower the ATK of monsters, that'd do it, and it's not hard to get out

[@CBU2221990]

He must love hearing himself talk where is the deck list?

[@breefree4]

It's better on earthbound immortals 'cause they can attack directly

[@moonlightguardian]

what do you mean madolche could work? i thought obelisk cant be targeted?

[@zenmodeman]

Do people not realize that super polymerization can work if you use dna surgery for chimeratech overdragon or dna transplant for shining. Or you could use dna surgery and use chimeratech fortress dragon.

[@xxxYugooxxx]

That was the worse opponent EVER. You NEVER banish two waters from the hand to summon tidal...

[@AdvendieYuGiOh]

This is a really cool deck, I suggest making this deck IRL, I already have 3/4 deck finished, and yes, I have 3 Obelisk.

[@kyosukekiryu9516]

UNSTOPPABLE Obelisk? Serious? Then face my... SHOOTING QUASAR DRAGON and SHOOTING STAR DRAGON!

[@kouthao1575]

This is basically Chaos MAX Dragon with the double piercing effect.

[@DaPerfecto57]

Cyber Dragons would easily be able to get more than 4000 attack (through power bond or limiter removal)

[@Thisdude850]

or simple enough with cyber dragon nova eff.

[@General_AIDs]

will you take a look at my obelisk deck and let me know what you think im posting the a new video today and its makes the deck faster but let me know what you think I should change

[@NawDawgTheRazor]

LMAO One time someone used this against me and he was like gg, but I was playing Gem Knights and somehow managed to get out Ruby and use his effect to get his attack over 5,000. After I destroyed Obelisk, he was like nice and quit and I was laughing so hard.

[@Endrance88]

would i be able to sacrifice obelisk and a frog for lava golem? that seems like a way over him

[@MasterZhaituki]

Just wait until Locomotion R-Genex steals it rofl, it's effect doesn't target. It just takes highest level monster to Locomotion user's control.

[@zenmodeman]

well technically you could side in dna transplant to make obelisk into whatever you want.

[@zenmodeman]

Escape device doesnt target though. Only compulsory evacuation device targets. Escape is both people shuffle one of their monsters.

[@steelarbiter7349]

Skill Drain works to stop the no targeting effect of Obelisk.

[@napsterking]

Obelisk's effect is negated by the effect of Plasma. Plasma's effect is continuous, does not target and affects ALL the opponents monsters including obelisk. It when I declare that im going to target Obelisk that he can't be targeted..If Obelisk's effect wasn't negated by Plasma, allowing me to equip him.

[@thekid22001]

is this the music for devpro or do you add it in?

[@taa347]

I use destiny heroes so I guess I could just play scapegoat during your turn, summon a monster during my turn, special summon plasma, Plasma negates Obelisk's effect, I equip Obelisk to plasma, now Obelisk is gone and my Plasma has 3900 attack and negates all your face-up monster effects. Would that work?

[@Kalo953]

It is very possible to defeat a player using Obelisk or Ra or Osiris, but not the monsters themselve. i am thinking of something like burn deck with defences using Path of Destiny Wave motion which detonates and making 1000x standby turns, some traps, which doesnt negate attack but transfers the damage to the opponent.

[@zenmodeman]

Its because its "choose". I've heard that selecting counts as targeting but choosing is not. Im not sure though. I just assumed that cause in devpro my opponent negated an effect with turtle that said select so I gess select is target but choose is not.

[@EHzzzz]

Sanctuary in the sky with fountain in the sky. Keep crashing shining angels and nova summoners into obelisk to gain life points and use shining angel to bring out agent of force mars. Or maha vailo equipped with 3 mage powers. I'd have a harder time getting over slifer than I would obelisk.

[@Zologe]

I believe Sky Scourge Norleras can kill it, since he sends, not destroys.

[@azurephantom100]

but how many decks/players use that? : 3

[@hervaliantangel5323]

azurephantom100 Um...I do. >.>

[@ivoryquillum4436]

Ummm there's Vision Hero Trinity who doubles his attack when Summoned. Goes from 2500 to 5000 instantly. Can wreck Obelisk but I guess most Hero players don't think of using Trinity

[@SirRanSax]

Speaking about HEROS, Great Tornado can help to get over Obelisk.

[@zekeram129]

Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon would, albeit ironically, a problem with it's 4500 ATK.

[@kirasayaera4609]

if this is ygopro. where do you get uour extra icons for. such as your graveyard kuriboh

[@Leumascar]

>winning because of the e-dragons well yea same could be said of any deck that has versatility if you dark hole in a random deck and attack for game did u win because of the dark hole? or your own cards? edrags are just staples now, not an entire deck anymore, and they help out decks like ice barriers to actually compete with newer decks

[@spoonikle]

This same thing can be done with earthbound uru. He has a lower cost and with hardened arm dragon won't be destroyed by his earthbound own effect

[@MegaDragon33]

What's the name of the background sound?

[@Chris85386]

I got over an obelisk under hardened dragon with battle fusion on Dark Paladin xD

[@andrewdurdle3033]

Still isn't considered targeting anything: "Each player chooses 1 monster they control and switches control of those monsters with each other. Those monsters cannot change their battle positions for the rest of this turn." Does not say 'target', therefore does not target. Praise for new card text. :p

[@MrRichman668]

This paradox really has me wonder? What if I used breakthrough skill on obelisk? I tried to and my friends and I are lost on an answer? I wanted to breakthrough then creature swap xD but yeah someone tell me if that works or not if you know

[@EssTeeEfYoo]

a few ways to break this lock are neo spacian grand troll, metaion, dropping honest when u atk, spellbook of fate, trish(if ur playing ocg), morphing jar #2, super powering something with sirocco, or using huge ass beatsticks such as malefic cyber end, 5 head dragon, dark neosphere. But yeah i doubt most decks would ever play most of these cards, making this still a hard to break lock. and if i was playing heros i would go excaliber crash

[@MukaMaster360]

Never understood that either, but I've heard that myself a few times. Apparently "selecting" is not the same as "targeting" or something...

[@TrevorGlascock]

I think the name UnstopObel is more fitting :33

[@danielmcguinness9044]

Inca-exeor beetle sends to grave, not destroy. Does that work

[@zenmodeman]

Neo-spacian grand mole, d.d. warrior lady, honest, madolche queen, spellbook of fate, creature swap and so many other ways to stop obelisk like cmpulsory escape device.

[@xxstealerxx]

Unfortunately you can. I've played this deck for quite a while and i know that creature swap and mirror force are basically the only two outs to obelisk. Creature swap and mirror force both don't target, therefore can be used against obelisk.

[@echoghost6250]

Scrap Twin Dragon or Atomic Scrap Dragon + Ego Boost or Megamorph when losing. That'd over power it. Infernity Guardian + Ego Boost & Metal Morph would work.

[@RandomGuy5789]

A powerbonded cyber end dragon with limiter removal for the otk of justice. Or a power-bonded Chimeratech overdragon. Basically a cyber dragon extra deck can beat it...though cyber dragons aren't that popular...

[@Fawlker]

I also run an Obelisk deck, and I combine it with The Tyrant Neptune, so when I tribute Obelisk and Hardened for its summon, is a 5500 atk / 4800 def monster that cannot be targeted or destroyed, lol!

[@EPICMARSHMALLOWPIVOT]

*summons Obelisk with hardened armed dragon* *equips mist body* invincible

[@TheoJay615]

no you can't, on the card it reads- "Requires 3 Tributes to Normal Summon (cannot be Normal Set). This card's Normal Summon cannot be negated. When Normal Summoned, cards and effects cannot be activated. Cannot be targeted by Spells, Traps, or card effects. During the End Phase, if this card was Special Summoned: Send it to the Graveyard. You can Tribute 2 monsters; destroy all monsters your opponent controls. This card cannot declare an attack the turn this effect is activated."

[@beaverwarrior6957]

spellbook of fate is one of the only things i can think of that could work

[@kavazovic93]

Tira-misu and kasha are like the only monsters that can get over this
