Top 10 Terrible Boss Monsters in YuGiOh

[@LucaPariah]

I like how in the anime, Spirit of the Pharaoh was used by an ancient pharaoh whose subjects always let him win, so the fact that his monster is terrible was actually pretty fitting.

[@zaknelthepony7124]

It's also, for once, very deliberate.

….because the his monster was always coming up against dudes who would ‘take a dive’, leading to him either ‘going soft’ or over-estimating his prowess.

When i was really little in late elementary school, early middle school there was a pervasive rumor going around my school that some cards had "hidden abilities" and they said that gate guardian retained all the abilities of its individual pieces. I think we just didnt want to admit the card was aweful and wanted it to function like the anime version.

[@flamingphoenix4025]

@Remi Russell I mean the special Versions were designed that way, atleast i'm very sure since they aren't allowed to be used in Duels besides having no actual Effects written on them and being the first renditions of the God Cards to come out (if i remember correctly). So it's pretty much just those specific Versions that you can get out of the very first Legendary Collection that basically work the way they do in the Anime since afterwards they printed Legal Versions of each God Card which had actual Effects written but it seems that they weren't sure whether to make them Strong or bad and they decided to take the safe approach and make them mediocre at best i guess.

[@akitoes]

MoronicChunk1 so are you telling me that you think the cards have hidden abilities like Pokemon?

[@bookmew1081]

Cards that were awesome in the anime, yet reduced to jokes in the actual cardgame. At least having 4000 Attack & Defense Obelisk is still powerful if you can find an easy way to summon it to the field. Slifer's massive attack combo was banned in the actual cardgame because you aren't allowed to draw cards except when it's your actual drawphase. Slifer if given enough time such as with "Infinite Cards" could still be extremely powerful at least. The God Card who was ruined by the cardgame itself was Ra, to the point the card is essentially worthless to summon. If Ra had it's basic Attack & Defense (combined total of the respective Attack & Defense of the 3 monsters used to summon it) we would probably be using 3 Blue Eyes White Dragons to summon it so it could have 9,000 Attack/7,500 Defense. A lot of the cards on this list were good in the anime, although ruined by the cardgame with Gate Guardian, Divine Neos, Neos Wiseman, & Machina Force being 4 such examples.

[@blakeland6797]

Bruh blues shining dragon is a good boss card can negate effects that target it including spells traps that target it ( may be wrong on spell and traps ) I have blue eyes shining dragon in my priest of blue eyes deck and works well very easy to bring out ( unless you don't have priest with blue eyes , protector with blue eyes monk of blue eyes, sage of blue eyes then good luck cuz all those cards bring out blue eyes dragons or better ) the only thing that sucks is getting rid of blue eyes ultimate dragon but it gains 300 atk for every dragon in your grave yard so there's 3 blue eyes and a ultimate in your grave yard for set up so that is 1200 already not to mention other dragons in your grave plus again great effect can quick play negect the effect of cards that target blue eyes shining so by no means does red eyes darkness even is able to compare to blue eyes shining you just need the actual proper deck for it blue eyes shining has it's own deck the priest of blue eyes deck but ppl are dumb and think oh I'll just make a dragon deck add all the blue eyes and summon it no you will lose 9 outta 10 I use the actual deck with my friend who has the legendary samuari deck and where damn near even on it lol

[@ezrawyvern6795]

Honestly, REDD is actually more practical to bring out than BESD. REDD at the very least only needs two cards to bring it out (and funny enough, at least twice or thrice I've managed to bring out REDD on the first turn in a deck that's kind of a mix of Red-Eyes and Blue Eyes) whereas BESD needs at the very least five cards to be summoned, one of which being a fusion monster released after the card in real-life. Not to mention, REDD will almost always be guaranteed to be stronger than what brought it out (barring Skill Drain and other such effects going off) even if summoned on the first turn whereas even if you're lucky enough to bring out BESD on the first turn it's going to be certifiably weaker (having only 4200 ATK if miraculously summoned on the first turn), especially in the presence of Skill Drain.

The episode its in Jaden duels against the spirit of a deceased pharaoh who claims he was one of the best duelists of his time but as the duel goes on Jaden and the gang start noticing that hey, this kid sucks and his cards are terrible. Its then revealed that all of the Pharaoh's servants let him win because they were afraid of beating him and incurring his wrath.

At the time people hated Fusions, because it was basically a -3 (poly, Plus two materials) at least and the fusions arent that good to start with. GX going heavy for fusions (with E-HEROs, Roids, Cybers, Ojamas and VWXYZ) was a effort to make people like the mechanic, with one or two sucesses with Power Bond and Miracle Fusion. But it was looked down as a gimmicky of HEROs and Cyber (much like tribute Simmons for the monarchs nowadays) and less as anything viable. So that's why a lot of fusions from DM and GX anime / manga era where made Effect Monsters because the meta at the time favored main deck monsters (Dark Armed Dragon, Monarchs, Gadgets...). Its a problem of changing the meta arouns the 5D's and Arc-V (also the end of GX manga, where the Generic Atribute Fusions and cards like Ocean, Forest and Stratus came out) eras that made all of those cards obsolete.

yeah maybe or if they simply gave it other effects such as when it destroys a monster by battle and sends it to the graveyard you can inflict damage to your opponent equal to half that monsters original atk it can't be destroyed by card effect and if it leaves the field because of battle or card effect you can special summon up to 4 level 4 or lower zombie type monsters from your hand deck or gy. still wouldn't be great but at least it would be tolerable since you would have a half decent beat-stick that floats into some link or xyz monsters. neo's wise man could of been good to if it was a fusion monster.

[@spyro2002]

I think that would kinda ruin its austhetic, the point is that it summons its servants to help him so personally if I change him I'd have him also bring them from the deck so that you at leash always get 4 and maybe have him gain the combined atk points of all level 2 or lower zombie normal monsters on the field and maybe then once per turn he can tribute 1 of them to destroy all cards in the selected column that the opponent controls.

Requiring the drastic rule changes of Zexal to be obeyed in regions that weren't even allowed to watch Zexal legally. Taking an absurdly long time to release awesome cards from the anime like Seal of Oricalcos. Ruining good cards from the anime, when they wouldn't have been overpowered even if they got their anime effects.

I actually didn't think that Helios was that bad. I always saw the graveyard effect as a neat backup.

Darkness Dragon is useful in my RE deck because the strongest monster in that deck is 3500 ATK. Some monsters have effects which makes it so that the only possible way of removing it is destroying it. This card could be helpful in some situations. Though I agree it's mostly useless.

Yeah Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon is kind of a useless addition to the Red-Eyes Archetype at this point, but I still like it for a number of reasons. 1. It was Atticus Rhodes' ace monster, or more accurately it was Nightshroud’s ace monster, and Nightshroud is freaking awesome. 2. It's an upgraded version of my favorite Yu-Gi-Oh! Card, Red-Eyes B. Dragon, and I like that it serves as a Red-Eyes counterpart to Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon, having the same ATK and DEF as the original Dragon of their respective archetypes, being 2 levels higher than those original dragons, and sharing similar naming schemes and both having the effect of gaining 300 ATK for each Dragon in your grave. 3. It also led to us getting Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon, which is a really good card for any dragon deck (even though I don't really like REDMD's artwork)

[@totof2327]

Personally, Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon should have get the spot of Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon... As he's harder to summon with the exact same effect (+ a Targeting protection). Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon is still a good power card for Red-Eyes in the middle/end of the duel to get the finishing blow. And its synergy with the Lair of Darkness (and Red-Eyes archetype synergy with the Viruses) cards (Ahrima searches it and Diabolos can ss itself thanks to Darkness Dragon tributing as cost a DARK Monster. Duke Shade can also recovers it), makes it easy to build a decent deck centered around Darkness Dragon that can do stuff (and be horrible to face). Blue-Eyes Shining however... Even he (she ?) is searchable by Melody of the Awakening Dragon, Bingo Machine GO! GO! and Priestress with Eyes of Blue (who will using it anyway ?), you need to run Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon in the Extra Deck. You need to put more efforts in the summon of BESD than REDD for having the same monster.

[@Goblin_Hands]

Gate Guardian support is all I ask for...like this! Labyrinth Maze Field Spell This card cannot be targeted by your opponent's card effects. Any monsters summoned have their effects negated until the end of the turn, and are placed in the next empty monster Zone closest to their owner's Field Spell Zone, and can only attack monsters in the same column. Both players can only use each of the following effects of "Labyrinth Maze" once per turn: ●Move 1 monster you control to an adjacent Monster Zone, then, if your opponent controls more monsters than you, you can move 1 monster you control to an additional adjacent Monster Zone. ●Discard 1 card; add 1 level 7 Monster from your deck or GY to your hand, and if you do, you can Special Summon "Labyrinth Tank" from your Extra Deck, and/or add 1 "Labyrinth" card from your Deck to your hand. Hidden Powers of the Labyrinth Continuous Trap You can only control 1 "Gate Guardian". When an attack is declared, or a card effect is activated while you control "Gate Guardian", you can discard "Sanga of the Thunder", "Suijin", or "Kazejin", to negate that attack or effect. Once per turn, you can reveal "Sanga of the Thunder", "Suijin", and "Kazejin" to Special Summon "Gate Guardian" from your hand, deck, or GY, ignoring summoning conditions, and if you do, it is unaffected by your opponent's card effects and cannot be tributed (even if this card leaves the field.) Once per turn, if a face-up "Labyrinth" card would be destroyed by your opponent's card effect, you can add 1 "Sanga of the Thunder", "Suijin", "Kazejin" or "Riyoku" from your Deck to your hand instead. Dungeon Trap in the Labyrinth Normal Trap Activate as many effects as possible up to the number of other face-up "Labyrinth" cards on the field: ●Special Summon 1 "Monster Tamer" from your hand, Deck, or GY, then take control of 1 monster your opponent controls until "Monster Tamer" leaves the field. ●Send 1 "Dungeon Worm" from your hand or Deck to the GY and Banish 1 monster on the field. ●Banish 1 "Jirai Gumo" from your Deck or GY and Destroy 1 monster on the field and inflict damage to your opponent equal to it's ATK. If a monster(s) on your opponent's side of the field moves to a different monster zone, except the turn you activated this card: you can add this card from your GY to your hand. You can only activate 1 "Dungeon Trap in the Labyrinth" per turn. Magical Labyrinth: Wall Shadow Quick Play Spell Rearrange your opponent's monsters in their monster zones as you see fit, then, if you control a "Labyrinth" card, Special Summon 1 "Wall Shadow" from your Hand or Deck, ignoring summoning conditions, also, it cannot be destroyed by battle, and any monster that battles it is sent to the GY after Damage Calculation. You can banish this card from your GY to move "Wall Shadow" to any unoccupied monster Zone on your side of the field. You can only use each effect of "Magical Labyrinth: Wall Shadow" once per turn. Sounds like fun, no?

Honestly, I think it was just him being an idiot. Its effect is if it is destroyed by any means. Honestly, it's not even a graveyard effect from what i can tell as it doesn't even state where it would be special summoned from. It is suprisingly a decent floating effect.

[@krzysztofjaworski9147]

@@exiel2740 Actually, how he described it in the video is correct, he just showed the anime effect on the screen instead of the TCG effect.

After this card attacks, it can attack once more if your opponent controls a monster.

My idea closer to the anime version. The only difference is the classification to an Elemental HERO and the generic material, (since the original uses "Yubel" monsters). The Elemental HERO classification lets the card make use of both Elemental HERO and Neos supports freely. Also the generic material makes it easier to use in hybrid decks, like a "Dark Magician" hybrid (Yugi+Jaden). Elemental HERO Neos Wiseman Level 10 LIGHT Fusion/Spellcaster/Effect ATK 3000 / DEF 3000 "Elemental HERO Neos" +1 Level 7 or more DARK Spellcaster monster Must be Fusion Summoned and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. Cannot be destroyed by card effects. When this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle: Inflict damage to your opponent equal to that monster's original ATK and gain LP equal to that monster's DEF. When this card leaves the field, you can Special Summon 1 "Elemental HERO Neos" from your Deck.
