Solemn judgement is like THE card for this. Nobody used it when it released, the LP cost was seen as too much, then people just went - "Huh, stop ANYTHING? doesn't seem that bad, I'll use it" after a decade.

Even some of the old DM-era Fusion monsters would probably still be a handful today if they could be cheated out for a mere 1000 LP by Magical Scientist.

Eh, the vast majority of them are facilitated by card effects, i. e. the player cannot just perform them at a whim but has to meet some requirement, unlike Normal summons.

[@megarockman75]

Personally, Konami should change the rule were only allow to special summon 5 monsters per turn. that way it limits the combo abuse from the opponent. so the second player can have a fighting chance instead of being overwhelm with too many negate effects. it seem unfair, but the way the game is going, i say let be fair.

[@williamdrum9899]

If Nibiru was printed in 2002 it would have been useless. Back then it was rare to special summon 5 times per duel let alone per turn.

[@mavericklysander]

This episode highlights Yugioh's issues with futureproofing, especially regarding new summoning methods. Scapegoat is a perfect example of this. When it was printed, you couldn't use them for tributing, ritual summoning sucked so it could use the leg up and they were irrelevant to fusion summoning. Then as the video said, synchro was implemented and the card was suddenly way more useful.

[@roncerjani9063]

I'd say it highlights their problem with the lack of set rotation. They have 10000+ different cards in the game, you can't futureproof every single one of them.

[@TwistedAlly]

I'm a tad surprised there wasn't like an honorary mention of TG Hyper Librarian regarding the "Draw cards" section. That monster has been limited since the first list after it was printed because a no limit "Draw 1 card whenever a Synchro Summon is performed" was absurdly good, especially in the age of its release when basically everyone ran Synchro Spam decks.

Absolutely hated Last Turn… if you activated that while you had Jowgen the Spiritualist on the field you essentially won by default since your opponent couldn’t special summon.

They could negate the effects of the summoned monsters, but again the whole thing would become a matter of who has the buffiest monster in their deck. There's really no way to save this card.

[@samuelheddle]

Re: OCG surrender rules, I believe the OCG surrender rules only applied to certain matches, like ones which were live streamed, because of the idea that they don't want streamed matches conceded. This was a point of contention because people complained that players had to play out lost matches on camera, which was boring. I think in most OCG matches you might actually play, conceding is allowed.

[@CrnaStrela]

That's why conceding require judge's consent. Judge would see the board state and both player's hand and decide whether it is ok to surrender or not. Though to be fair it's probably some regional and higher only, local and some regionals still allowing surrender at any point without Judge's consent.

[@roncerjani9063]

​@@CrnaStrelaStill though, couldn't the losing player just end his turn without playing anything? I mean, the judge can be very knowledgeable and all, but he doesn't know my own deck better than me. If I think I'm hopeless, I'm hopeless.

Playing trap cards from the hand with Makyura.

[@williamdrum9899]

Which is ironic considering how many players consider trap cards to be too slow. You'd think that would balance out and just make them decent, since you need to get Makyura to the graveyard before your deck full of bricks can be used. But then again, seeing as how pre-errata Makyura's effect worked no matter how it ended up in the graveyard this turn (meaning you could just send it there straight from the deck or discard it and that would work) it wasn't a huge hurdle. I think a better errata would have been this: "During your Main Phase, if this card is sent to the GY: You can activate Normal Trap Cards from your hand. For the rest of this turn, you can only draw 1 more card using Trap effects." This way you can't use the Chick the Yellow + Call of the Haunted loop to win the game with infinite battle damage, nor can you Solemn Judgment from hand, nor can you draw your whole deck with Jar of Greed

[@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire]

18:57 Idea for a counter card to players adding to many cards to their hand: _Accumulation of Greed_ (EARTH) Level 1 Rock/Tuner/Effect _(Quick Effect) You can normal summon/set this card from your hand if your opponent adds to their hand or excavates any number of cards. Unaffected by the effects of cards from your opponent’s hand. Each time your opponent adds to their hand or excavates a card, increase this cards ATK/DEF by 500, and place 1 Greed Counter on it. (Quick Effect) You can apply each of the following effects of “Accumulation of Greed” once per turn:_ ⚪️Increase your LP by equal to all Greed Counters on the field X1000. ⚪️Transfer 4 Greed Counters from this card onto a card on the field: That card’s effects are negated while it has any Greed counters on it. ⚪️Remove 4 Greed Counters from this card: Shuffle 1 card that is banished or the the GY into it’s owners deck.

[@XionSteel]

Mind Crush was also a fairly annoying hand rip tech in during goat since good hand traps were slowly making their way into the game and searchers were everywhere, you sometimes never went through a game without searching for a key card for your deck only for you to lose it. Worst case if they knew what you were playing they would just take a guess if you didn't search for anything specific, they would assume the card you need is already in your hand and sometimes be right, worst case they guess wrong and get to see your hand. For special summoning, Cyber-stein is kind of a good example of why we can have nice things, Komani did try to limit to 1, only for sprite, tearlement and super heavy samurais to be perfectly ok to pay 5k of their life points to bring out the Last Warrior from Another Planet just to have another way to flood gate. If it wasn't that then they would find other ways to abuse it so the end result is that Stein is much too degenerate to ever exist without an errata to make it virtually unplayable.

In cyber steins case, it was always either floodgates like last warrior, or a dumb ftk that essentially turned cyber stein into magical scientist.

[@MarioLopez-xs3vc]

It's funny how much less the OCG cares about draw power than the TCG, probably because of how ridiculous something like Maxx "C" is compared to almost any other draw card, assuming you're blinding second against the average summon combo deck. Or can rebuild off a single card, preventing those same decks from going second against any of them that manages to go first without first getting hit by it.

[@williamdrum9899]

Funnily enough in 2003 yugioh maxx C wouldn't be that good, you'd pretty much just get one card off of it per turn and it's not light or dark attribute so you couldn't even use it as Envoy of the Beginning fodder

[@dalegary450]

It's hard not to hate this game for three reasons. The first is that they make new game features/cards that can't play because of older cards, and rather than simply redesigning those new individual features/cards before release so that they don't conflict with older cards they ban the older cards. The second reason I've grown to despise this game is that if something says you can return two monsters to their owner's hands when it is flipped I've noticed a lot of people like to say that face-down cards don't flip and are are simply removed from the field. There was nothing in the first few generations of the game that clearly established that was the case. I don't know if that has since changed. This would be related to Penguin Soldier's effect. Now according to newer cards like Penguin Brave, you can't target face down cards with any sort of effect. Now, if a card is face down and hit with an effect the result one would expect is that card would be flipped because how else can the players determine if it has any effects to use in response. Penguin Brave can counter that but it suggests that cards can, in theory, respond to effects. This is where I introduce my third and last dislike of the game, the players. This collective group of morons will always try to cheat by misinterpreting the rules so that whatever you use can't be applied to them and because the rules include so many vague concepts and new weird features a lot of the judges for this situation don't seem to be familiar with it so the judges just assume that these flip cards can't be activated due to effects of other cards.

[@GhostofCerberus]

[@Blahblahblah28504]

Floodgates are just one giant middle finger to your opponent no matter what, and it's not surprising that they're always banned. On another note, what the actual hell were they thinking when coming up with Magical Scientist!?

[@williamdrum9899]

No idea. At least with Cyber Stein you have to pay 5000 life points which you can really only do once since at the time there weren't any fusion monsters that had an effect to let you gain more life points. Funnily enough, Cyber Stein was Forbidden in duel links even though the game's starting life points are only 4000. Just goes to show how powerful that is.

[@13KuriMaster]

Another detail on how Special summoning fuels the other reasons on the list is that without being able to special summon over a dozen monsters with ease, cards like Cannon Soldier, Mass Diver, and the like would not be able to get the fuel needed for their burn OTKs.

[@williamdrum9899]

Definitely agree. Cannon Soldier and Mass Driver are failures from a design perspective since the cards are either gamebreakingly good if you can win with them immediately or complete garbage if you cannot. There is no in-between. The cards are not worth playing in a deck that isn't able to abuse them in the manner that got them forbidden

Funnily enough, the reason Last Turn is banned, is not that it's complicated to resolve, but for the same reason as Self-Destruct Button: it's far too easy to cause and loop draws to drag out matches with it.

[@syrelian]

Its that AND a rulings nightmare, its just that most of those rulings lead to "and then a draw happens" because its things like monsters immune to effects remaining on the board, breaking the wincon, or cards sent to the GY triggering effects that further break things, and breaking the wincon, and generally the wincon being nonfunctional cause it doesn't lock the gamestate down hard enough

It's 100% the ruling problems, the reason you cited is just one of many scenarios of how complicated to resolve the card's effects.

[@syrelian]

@@sandradee4331 Considering Self-Destruct Button and also the errata to Ring of Destruction, Draw inducing effects are also generally frowned on

[@Anywaz]

@@sandradee4331 It's not complicated to resolve the card at all, though. The only question (and it comes from the card never getting PSCT) is whether it targets your own monster initially. Other than that, you pick one of your monsters, send everything else to the GY, your opponent summons a monster from deck and then the two monsters chosen for the card's effect fight. The player whose chosen monster is the sole card on the field in the end phase wins. In any case that there is not exactly one of the two chosen monsters on the field in the end phase, the game ends in a draw. There are literally no ruling issues with thr card, to a point where it was implemented in all the simulators even back when the card was printed. There are cards that were omitted from simulators because of being too complicated to implement at the time, Last Turn was never one of them.

Top 10 Main Deck Boss Monsters

[@AloneTheorist]

I'm surprised that Tearlaments weren't ruined by the fact that they share a line of text in common with Shaddolls. Basically due to this line of text, if you used polymerization to fusion summon using tearlaments monsters as fusion materials you could conduct up to two additional fusion summons because of the tearlaments monsters you sent to the gy by polymerization. Effectively giving you a one card, three extra deck summon combo in polymerization which in by the way is a multi method searchable spell.

[@AloneTheorist]

For you to know, the common line is 'if this card is sent to the graveyard by card effect.' Since fusion spells count among cards that send cards to the gy by card effect, this combo could have been particularly potent if people weren't obsessed with milling cards. You could for example use a single Polymerization to bring out all 3 Tearlaments fusion monsters in a single turn depending on how you conduct your additional fusion summons after using your polymerization to make Kitkallos.

[@sandradee4331]

Grass only works best if your opponent has less cards than you do (40 vs 60) in the initial phase of the game. Tear doesn't need Grass as Ishizu can mill the deck better even at 40-card deck.

[@MrTeaIBe]

Hate the game always happy to learn about it though

[@Dyllon2012]

I’ve thought if they wanted Victory Dragon to be legal and playable, that it would be pretty obvious they would rule you cannot concede once Victory Dragon hits the field.

[@kittentheboss2796]

I don't exactly blame older cards for being too strong. When the meta and format changed to pendulums Yu-Gi-Oh! was never the same. Back in the day Exodia OTK decks were everyone's bane as they had to sit there and wait for the opponent to kill you for minutes. This is quite similar how links and pendulums ruined yugioh's game health. Sitting and waiting for your opponent to eat through 20 cards for 3 negates isn't healthy for the game. The amount of special summoning the game has now is just too much for my liking which is why i run fossil dyna stun taking things back to the old days. Mabey Mystic mine took that ideology a bit too far but at least it made burn decks viable again.

[@williamdrum9899]

I think Mystic Mine had a few problems even though I like the idea: The effect "Destroy this card if you both have the same number of monsters" just isn't happening. The Mine player can just refuse to summon anything. Your opponent can't easily get rid of all their own monsters just via Extra Deck summons alone since they'll still have at least one monster. * It's a better skill drain since it forbids players from activating monster effects anywhere, not just the field (and since it's worded as "cannot activate" you can't even attempt to activate an effect with a beneficial cost like you can with skill drain) * It also prevents attacking so your opponent just has to sit there and wait to draw a spell/trap to remove it. Which is difficult since the Mine player can use burn, exodia, or final countdown to win before the opponent can draw into removal I'd rework Mystic Mine like so: "You can only activate "Mystic Mine" once per Duel. Negate the effects of monsters in their owner's possession of the player who controls the most monsters. During the End Phase, if you control no monsters or both players control the same number of monsters: Banish this card."

When I was younger me and my brother both agreed that Appointer was terrible and to see that it’s banned is actually insane

[@Ragnarok540]

A lot of people complain about negates but very few cards with negates have ever been hit in the banlist, one I can think of is Toadally Awesome it's negate is not hard once per turn and it steals the cards being negated.

[@lordpaulphilippfernandez9904]

And there's also the fact that it can easily be recycled with Spright Elf (which is what pushed Toad to the brink of the ban list).

[@syrelian]

Negates are healthy, negates are interaction, they're not gonna get hit unless some core fuckup is involved because saying No is the simplest and most efficient form of interaction

[@JJSquirtle]

18:08 shoutout to Omega's partner in crime: Trishula. Almost nothing is as painful as watching someone setup a loop with (for example) infernity, summoning trishula 4 or 5 times by bouncing copies back to the extra and then ending on Omega, where during the standby phase, you would rip their top deck out of their hand as well

[@EvilLordDeimos]

I believe fiber jar can come off at 1 like cyber jar can. It doesn't reset LP and it doesn't affect the banished zone at all. A field and grave reset with a 5 draw doesn't have the punch it once had when GY effects banish for cost.

[@Amsel_616]

You'll also have any card that is an Xyz material in the graveyard when Fiber Jar resolves

I kinda wish Yugioh would release all the weird cards (10) from the bannlist for a format to see what happens.

[@existingintensifies]

I'm surprised "Non hard once once per turn" or "causing infinite loops" is not one of the reasons on this list

[@JZblue9]

while yes, those cases usually get hit hard and fast, i'd argue they arent as common as other bans/limits. so, on one hand, they make for memorable bans, moreso than consistency hits, but on the other, its really not the majority of them. the last infinite combo/NOPT ban i can think of is sillva, and thats only in master duel. though, funny enough, he's both of those.

[@TheSpecialPsycho]

Cuz Pole Position exists unbanned, lol

[@sandradee4331]

I agree that non-hard once per turn cards are one of the top reasons for banning. But I think it's a very generic classification that the author opted to highlight specific effects (except #10) to make his list more coherent to viewers.

[@ladyriethegoldendelmo5441]

@@sandradee4331 and I just remember something I hope yugi tv show spell card the one he draws like 5-6 cards I hope they can make it happen but like some kind of restrictions but good enough to play lol. cause there are tons of anime cards only or even like bandit keith cards, bones, rex raptor cards, and etc would love to see them get tons of supports

A good way to fix Victory Dragon in order to be playable would be to give it an effect that is spell speed 4 to reveal from hand and prevent your opponent from surrendering until end of turn

[@wumbo9359]

Reveal victory dragon, proceed to full combo to burn the clock 🤔

[@Panium.]

Er, I think that's a bad, very bad way of "fixing" it, the entire problem with the card is that it gives you an extra win for free. Locking your opponent out of the only way to really get around it...doesn't help.

[@ungulatemanalpha]

Delicious Memory isn't a very good example of a consistency hit, because the bigger reason it got hit is that games where an Expurrely Noir has multiple copies of the card become unbelievably frustrating, since it becomes a mostly-unaffected monster that is also too large to destroy in battle, the typical solution to unaffected monsters.

[@roncerjani9063]

How do they deal with it then? Just curiosity, idk how Purrely works.

[@gatocochino5594]

This is wrong, delicious was hit because its the most efficient way to hard summon 5 mat Noir.

[@tripleaaabattery8480]

Nah, it was definitely done to make getting delicious through my friend purrely much less likely. Aka consistency

[@ladyriethegoldendelmo5441]

out of all the list here I think magical scientist has the highest chance to get unbanned and see play if they just did once per a turn. as for the other cards here or on the banned list not sure. and for heavy storm could be like cant special summon the turn u use the card. or if u use the card first then u cant special summon for this turn. and for snatch steal mabe get 10k lp for enemy player per a turn and cant attack besides with a control monster. and the fusion one the one u pay 2000 lp to special summon as many banished monster as possible. I say 7999 lp and u have to win on that turn otherwise u lose.

[@sandradee4331]

I rather not let these iconic banned/limited cards get errata'd and instead just release another retrain with conditions to make them playable/balanced. Still can't accept what they did to Chaos Emperor Dragon and other iconic legacy cards. I do, however, agree to make some other cards' effects slapped with a hard once per turn only if they can make the card more playable -- like Foolish Burial getting errata'd but must be released from banlist.

[@ladyriethegoldendelmo5441]

@@sandradee4331 oh I just saw this comment right when I gave u a comment on my other one... anyways it depends on how they do it... I guess... I mean like nercovalley is one where they changed it and its better now. but overall u do have a point. the errta stuff I want I bet they wouldnt do it like that more likely so u have a point like brain control shivers... but its just that I just want to be able to use them is all. but I guess the close thing they could do is either a make a card similar to it but nerf it a bit or b make like a magical scientist number 2 and make it a once per a turn. for pot cards they will never make errata pot. so they just make a new one. anyways as long as they improve the game we good. and mabe some supports like ally of justice, dark magician girl, serpant knight dragon, five head dragon, gate guardian, ultimate great moth, blue eyes and their fusion more supports. cause honestly even dark magician and blue eyes kinda eh... but yea if u got other suggestions and ideas I can talk to konami and hopefully they listen but doubt it.

​@@sandradee4331 I agree, especially since Cannon Soldier and friends are literally only good cards because they can FTK. If those cards had a hard once per turn they would never see play simply because they aren't useful

I feel like the way the game is played now there shouldn’t even be a banned list

[@MrJapanUnderground]

I miss Mind Master... When first wave Psychics came out, I made Psychics my thing because it was a new type. I collected every Psychic card as it came out, so that I could make so many new Psychic decks. One I made was REALLY good and it actually used Mass Driver to do a cool burn loop. Then, because of an Exodia deck, Mind Master got banned. The ONE card that made Psychics work because the point was they were supposed to be centered around the master. Psychics were never the same again, they didn't try to make them better or at least errata Mind Master, and they just fell off. I feel like Phychics got dropped for Cyberse because they just didn't know what to do with Psychics anymore after the Mind Master ban. They came out as stand-alone cards after that or the type was just slapped onto monsters that had NOTHING to do with the concept of what Psychic monsters were known for.

[@coherentramblings7326]

I always like the lists that are more broad or conceptual than listing specific cards. I won’t watch this until tomorrow, but for now, here’s my guess for the top 10... 10. Its effect is stronger the more copies you have (Destiny Hero Malicious) 9. To postpone banning a more problematic card (like when that ABC monster was banned instead of Firewall dragon) 8. To make way for a bew format (like when XYZ monsters were introduced and a bunch of tuners were banned) 7. It enables trolling (Self Destruct Button) 6. To nerf a specific archetype (Dragon Rulers) 5. It gains too much card advantage too quickly (Maxx C) 4. Too generic/easy to play (Pot of Greed) 3. Few ways to counter it (Mystic Mine) 2. It’s a rulings nightmare (Last Turn) 1. It enables FTK’s (Mass Driver)
