I remember unironically using Grinder Golem back in the day when it first came out. I used it in my old Destiny HERO deck as it works kinda' nicely with Plasma. Gives you two of the three tributes needed to summon Plasma, the Normal Summon lock doesn't matter because Plasma is a Special Summon, and then Plasma can hoover up the Grinder Golem for an extra 1500 ATK. Good times...

[@beenjamminbunny9977]

I'm surprised to hear people thought it was a joke. There have always been cards that take control of an opponent's monster, and that was obviously the idea behind Grinder Golem. Maybe not top tier when it came out but it's easy to see how it could be useful

[@NeostormXLMAX]

It was a staple in inferno tempest decks

[@JohnSmith-oc6gm]

It is a joke. People make plenty of fun decks with gimmicky strats that you screw around at your local card shop on a weekend. These videos are speaking more towards meta decks that are consistent and flexible you can take to tournaments. Having a card that only combos with 1 other card in your deck and neither is easily searchable isn’t nearly reliable enough to begin with. And it’s a minimum minus 1, even if you pull the combo off, that can fall straight into a Bottomless Trap Hole. If you need reliable token generation for anything, a plant engine with Dandylion works better or just use one of the many spell/trap cards that gives you 2 or more weak tokens and absorb one of your opponent’s monsters with Plasma to come out net 0. A few hundred more attack on an already strong monster is no where near worth a -1 let alone also hindering flexibility with the chance of dead draws.

7:35 "No one was playing Solemn Judgment in the actual days of the Goat Format." Me: "Don't cite the deep magic to me, witch, I was there when it was written!" I played Solemn Judgment a lot back then. My whole sponsored team did, even naming ourselves after it - Team Judgment - making it a popular card in the Pacific Northwest, both as side- and main-deck control options. So yes, I'd say modern Goat Control format players are well within their rights to use it.

[@joshdavis6830]

A point about Solemn Judgment - the card always seemed super strong to me. I wasn't really that competitive as a kid, but I went to a couple of locals, and Judgment was a total house. It was less that the card wasn't good back then - it was good from day 1. It's that a lot of the player base hadn't figured out that Life Points "don't matter". I started to notice this perception shift among the player base as they played against the card - at first, half of your LP seemed like a huge cost, and then you lost the game to a Solemn and realized "hey, that card is pretty good!". I also feel like the card was more popular with people who played MTG, at least at my LGS, probably because MTG theory was better developed than YGO theory at that point, and the MTG community had already long since realized that winning the game at 1 life was acceptable at worst, and hilarious at best.

[@BloodfelX]

Super Rejuvenation always seemed like a good card to me, I just never knew how to really make it worth playing - even in Dragunity decks from the 5Ds era. It stuck out to me like a "Card of Safe Return" or "Heart of the Underdog" in that it had the potential to let you draw way too many cards.

[@Choppermad]

@TheDuelLogs Cold Wave a common from pharoah's servant a card that wasn't widely used until yata lock was in full swing. People played it at first to stop the counter plays to yata and chaos emp and then realised locking your opponent out of traps and magic for a turn is really good. The ban however came a little later due to it's wide use, not because konami thought it was broken, but because it stopped board interactivity or counter play, which as an opposing player feels really bad and ruins the natural flow of the game.

This is kind of a stretch, but what about a Top 10 "Cards that would become broken if their Once-Per-Turn clause was gone"? I'd love to see if any obscure bad cards would be godly if that was different!

[@Heinheins]

I once did a test with this setup and a DDD deck. Gengis became literally unbeatable.

[@boraaksitozgun9912]

Best deck would probably be exodia since there are monsters that draw (the new yosenju if you control another yosenju, etc.)Cyber infinity can negate & destroy anything four times per turn? (Assuming you absorbed something) Quasar is a John Wick? Even "Obliterate!!"seems broken? Sign me the hell NO!

Solemn Judgment is handy but it can also hurt you depending the situation you might be in while dueling someone.

[@laughingfurry]

You forgot one other thing with Cup of Ace, which I learned when some of my decks stopped being legal on Duel Links. Cup of Ace is also nasty in mill decks. Especially when using cards like either Dark Mimic or Hiro's Shadow Scout. Include solid Fiend support and monsters like Bistro Butcher, and you had a deck that assaulted the player on more than one front. Same with cards like Conscription.

[@kevinthe2nd73]

Darn! Super Polymerization and Mudragon of the Swamp are in Duel Links

[@archwing3441]

I might just be ignorant, but I think it's not as good in duel links because not too many decks run same attribute, different types. Shiranui runs pretty much completely zombies, Dark Magician is pretty much all dark spell casters, and black wings are all dark winged-beast. Although there is a single moment where you can make a big comeback against black wings, when they go for hawk Joe. But other than that, I don't think too many meta decks run same attributes but different types... I say that but I run Dragunity who would actually get blocked by this -_-

[@halomaxus]

I used Metaverse in my Zombie deck to interrupt opponents from summoning type specific cards from their graveyard and extra deck with the effect of Zombie World. To keep my deck from being clogged up by it I only used 2 and no Terraforming. But with it at 1 I only use 1 and still no Terraforming.

The opposite would be good. Top 10 Cards People Assumed to be Amazing but were Garbage in YuGiOh. or how about Top 10 "Puny" Cards that can take down Amazing/Boss cards.

[@Play-On7]

By far the biggest disppointment would have to be toon monsters. Even the god cards with their nerf would have been somewhat good in early Yu-Gi-Oh. Toons were hyped to be broken cards that required little set up to totally dominate the game. Yet any card that destroys spells can ruin your whole game if you don't have a counter ready.

[@CAMSLAYER13]

@@Play-On7 while if they did what they did in the anime now they'd probably be fine today but back then they would have been ridiculously broken although I think they should have lent on how they turn others monsters into toons in the show that would have been cool

[@erikliu7455]

RedJoker9000 Number 52 Diamond Crab King comes to mind as a “puny” card who can take down a boss monster. It was mainly a generic xyz monster with a slightly more complex way to become a beat stick, yet became widely used as the best counter to Apoqliphort Towers.
