Yugi's Top 10 Most IMPORTANT Cards

[@amenchaouachi2725]

What i love in the Yu-Gi-Oh animes is that the protagonist ace monster always have 2500 attack and the rival's ace have 3000

[@HusbandOfManyWives1776]

Almost till Firewall was banned and replaced by Decode Talker :(

[@christopherfeatherley]

I liked that, too! I think it unintentionally kept the game balanced, at least, in terms of keeping boss monsters attack in check (usually if something has above 3000 attack, it's considered an "effect" such as Gishki Zielgiagas having 3200 attack and an okay ish effect). Other games such as Bakugan, from my experience, started out with the average Bakugans having 400-500 G power, then the next season they had 700 G power, making the previous ones obsolete 😬 and they kept increasing so much so the average bakugan had 900 - over 1000 G power. It just made the game never build a competitive or casual tournament community because of how you essentially had to collect all over again because a new series came out. I wish they had kept it like Yugioh, as returning players are heavily a thing

[@fxlja]

​@@HusbandOfManyWives1776even before vrains, the cycle is broken by akaba reiji in arc-v. He plays D/D/D, a deck where everything he brings out from his extra deck is a boss monster on its own.

[@jettskie1986]

But, who's Judai's rival?

[@fxlja]

@@jettskie1986 lore-wise, Chazz. His ace monster (the serious one) is Armed Dragon Lv. 10. Though one could argue he had no rival since the dynamic in the anime shifted entirely during the later half of the show. He had a mentor figure in Zane and a temporary sidekick in Jesse. But no rivals as far as I know.

[@SlimyGreenSlime]

In the manga series, Pegasus actually was in disbelief when Yugi played Kuriboh. "Kuriboh!? You're kidding me, someone actually uses that card?" This coming from the man who in-universe created duel monsters.

[@zufgh]

I love that Yugi's climactic duel in the Duelist Kingdom arc features Kuriboh, one of his most iconic but pitifully weak monsters, in his winning strategy. Pegasus' disbelief is also somewhat paid tribute to in the anime, with Pegasus saying, 'Curse you, Yugi Muto, you and your Kuribohs!'

[@Jules279]

Ironically Kuriboh is a God tier card if one uses him right.

[@lamp6909]

The og handtrap

[@TheAzulmagia]

It's a particularly weird comment when Pegasus just saw him win against Mai using Kuriboh not that long ago. And, on that note, Mai and Kaiba (present and past versions) also get upset about Atem playing Kuriboh.

[@zipzapper0]

I made a Kuriboh deck just to mess with a friend, turns out, there are in fact enough Kuribohs and Kuriboh related support

[@TheAverageGuyTAG]

"And making his show-stopping entrance at number one is Yugi's faithful loyal companion, guardian and friend, who's always been by his side through the best and worst, and who Yugi can always depend on to guide him on the right path when going through the harshest trials and tribulations, Beaver Warrior."

[@highmedic2351]

[@Piquezzo]

you'd think that kuriboh and summoned skull were far more powerful because of how dumb rules were in the early anime, but it's still fun to see that summoned skull was the OG boss monster in the first eras of the tcg

[@robinlinh]

[@D-Havoc]

Pfft that early anime had no rules because they didn't adapt the rules over from the manga (where they are explained).

[@08907599]

[@christopherfeatherley]

I really like how most, if not all, of Yugi's monsters branched off to archetypes of their own, rather than just turn into support for one archetype (like Lord of D for Kaiba, or Gearfried for Joey)

[@DarkSymphony777]

except for mystical elf, who kaiba took while no one was looking

[@brianreilly8846]

Summoned Skull also shows the bonds of friendship between Yugi and Joey. Summoned Skull and Red-Eyes Black Dragon can be fused into Black Skull Dragon. In the first double duel of the series, Yugi and Joey did just that to defeat the Paradox brother. Edit: Yes, Dragoon can also be said to show the strength of their friendship, but that was not in the original show.

[@leafninja-fox5713]

Imagine if in early yugioh that Yugi and Joey summoned Dragoon to defeat the paradox brothers 😭😭😭

[@jobejacobs62]

Truthfully, Konami said they got the Dragoon idea from when Yugi had Red Eyes on the field when he summoned DM & Buster Blader. It was a "What If" moment if Yugi fused Red Eyes and DM to defeat Kaiba in the semi finals, instead of Buster Blader. That's why Konami gave it the same clothing pattern as Dark Paladin. Also, Dragoon also has a relation to Gandora Dragon because of the Gigarays on its armor, hence the Fusion material: Dragon EFFECT Monster, something Gandora Dragon is.

[@ianr.navahuber2195]

@@jobejacobs62 So Dragoon could theorically be "Atem's and Yugi's ultimate boss monster (with some dose of Joey)" ?

[@RedDragonForce2]

@ 10:40 The irony is that Summoned Skull had an entire archetype now. Alongside a Fusion, Synchro, XYZ, and Ritual form. And that’s not counting the Skull Archfiend of Lightning retrain. Such a beloved card.

[@christopherfeatherley]

I was a bit sad he didn't bring up the archetype! It's not competitive, but definitely a nice ode to Yugi's beloved card. I wish they received a level 2 tuner and level 4 monster (or both make them level 3s) to help support the Fusion and Synchro variants -- and maybe the tuner can modify its level to help the Ritual and XYZ Summoned Skull, as well? 😁

King/Jack/Queen's Knight came up at pivotal momments when Yugi needed flex tribute summons or monster fotter. Magical Hats is still one of the most unique cards ever and I think is probably among the best cards Yugi had. Gardna and Mystical Elf were used as pure defensive walls, and were mostly ok back in those days.

[@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire]

You know, the Exodia cards were always in such a strange spot: They’re some of the most powerful cards in the anime, but the TCG/OCG meta doesn’t reflect that often, but when it DOES then it’s a sign that something is deeply wrong in the game itself.

[@ExeloMinish]

The big difference is what the show and the game did with the Exodia limbs. Grandpa just stuffed them into his deck in case he could get lucky. When real players put Exodia in their deck, it's with the understanding that they _will_ draw them and will often eschew playing the game altogether (either through mega-solitaire combos, or intense stalling) to maximize the chance of that happening

[@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire]

Gaia evolves into a Chaos monster, BLS. DM and Gaia both evolve into the Chaos monsters: MoBC and BLS.

Yup! In the manga, Ritual Summoning is basically occult Polymerization. You need Gaia and 2 monsters with 1500 or less ATK, aka Kuriboh and Griffore, to make BLS. This can be seen in Super Soldier Ritual. Other “transformations” were Dark Magician into Magician of Black Chaos, as well as Dark-Eyes Illusionist + an armor monster to make Relinquished

Idk about anyone else, but DMG felt like Yugi's main ace through the Battle City Arc; idk if it was to promote the new monster or because she was easier to summon, but it seems like there were at least equal, if not more, duels involving her in the Battle City Arc than Dark Magician.

It would be gorgeous to see part 2, and the Kaiba/Joey top... ...as well as the main characters from 5D 😁

[@rubensteinsean]

This video forgot to mention that Slifer was actually played here and there is recent Tearlaments and Branded strategies due to the fact that the most recent Slifer trap card being released allowed for Slifer to be summoned and both players draw up to 6 cards.

[@Xylarxcode]

My friend and I used to often argue about how swords of revealing light worked. He claimed that the swords activated their effect when played, immediately went to the graveyard and prevented me from attacking for 3 turns. His reasoning was that the spell card didn't have the continuous spell symbol on it and most other spell cards that didn't have that were activated, did whatever it is they do and then immediately hit the graveyard. I argued that the swords stayed on the field for 3 turns, then selfdestructed and only then went to the graveyard and that it didn't have the continuous spell symbol on it because it wasn't really continuous, but had a temporary effect. It was in some undefined grey area that no other cards (at the time) existed in and we could never agree on who was right. Years later, after we had both stopped playing the game, we finally learned how they work, but it was too late by then. It was a really confusing card mechanic for kids, lol I also remember seeing other kids play around the mirror force trap by putting some of their monsters in defense, as DuelLogs mentioned but it went beyond even that. Sometimes, they had Mirror Force, let the opponent attack with one monster but didn't activate it to trick them into thinking they didn't have it and if the opponent fell for it, they'd turn everything back into attack position the next turn and try to go for game, only to be met with devastation instead. So, the idea then became to present lethal with one or two monsters in attack while keeping the rest safe in defense as potential back up, so your opponent was forced to activate it just to survive. But to achieve such a dominating board state is easier said then done, ofcourse. We called it the mirror force mindgames. It was epic.

[@vahlen5281]

Regarding Swords of Revealing Light, doesn't the card text explicitly state that it remains on the field after activation, but you must send it to the GY after the third turn?

I run Buster Blader in my deck and I’ve run it in my deck for years. It wasn’t until a few years ago when I fully embraced the Destruction sword cards and understood what they could accomplish together. I resonate with my Buster Blader because he’s a warrior and no matter how many times he gets banished or destroyed in duels, I am always able to bring out my 3 copies of Dragon Destroyer back to back. And with the Buster Dragon lock down and the extra deck/GY lock down, I can beat most meta decks if I can set my combo before their boss monster. I do lose some duels when I can draw my Buster Whelp starter but it’s always a beautiful feeling when I draw my Buster Blader when I need it the most.

[@tho_tho]

For Slifer, I used him in one of my favorite gimmick sets way back in the day. I'd try to get him out quickly, alongside King Tiger Wanghu that has a similar effect to destroy things on summon, Light of Intervention to prevent setting monsters so Slifer's and Wanghu's effects wouldn't be bypassed, then By Order of the Emperor to finish off the combo, sometimes including Infinite Dismissal if I couldn't get all the cards out in time. How it worked was that Light of Intervention would make the opponent only summon face up, activating the effect of Slifer and often Wanghu too. But if I didn't care about their summon staying or if it would activate both, I'd use Order to negate Slifer's or both effects to get free draws (or negate the summon's effect itself in case it was a searcher), while I'd use it on my turn when summoning since Wanghu also affects your summons too, turning into free draws every time you summon a 1400 or less attack monster. Basically every turn I'd be drawing an extra card if not more, which would only make Slifer stronger and let me draw into interruption like Dark Bribe to guard against MSTs. Jinzo did screw up the strat temporarily if he was ever brought out, but provided I had Slifer out first, he'd end up with just 400 attack instead of 2400, making him a joke to deal with. Overall was very fun and relatively consistent as a gimmick back in 2008-2011 when I used it, good times. Best part of it is that you just need Slifer, 1-2 Wanghus, 1-2 Orders, Light, maybe 3 Dark Bribes/negates and as insurance to buy time one Dismissal, total of only 10 cards at most, maybe 14-16 if we include whatever you choose as your method of getting Slifer out fast is, so the rest of the deck can straight up be whatever you want, can be extra gimmicks, can be a small engine with BLS or even DAD, etc., only buffing consistency. You can even double down on the gimmick factor since you get so many draws and have the rest be an Exodia engine just because with Heart of the Underdog or something, just note that doing that will require you to use Infinite Cards to fit the 20 cards you'll end up with after 3 turns lol

[@krone3286]

If this is based on the anime, I might argue to move Kuriboh up since it’s the card that Yugi gives Jayden (as winged Kuriboh) to begin the follow-up anime. Great vid as always 🤘

[@WhoIsSirChasm]

If a second video does get made, I honestly think Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast deserves a spot. It's not a terribly good card, but starting with Battle City almost every time Yugi fuses it's to create this monster specifically. And in the slower-paced anime, it's pretty handy to have a floater when there aren't many around.

[@fameshark]

I love Kuriboh’s Duelist Kingdom detonation effect! How it behaved in the show/manga, it’s probably something along the lines of “If this card is targeted by a card effect: It gains the following effect. •If this card battles an opponent’s monster, before Damage Calculation: You can destroy both this card and that monster”

Then Yugi smiles at what he draws, shocks the guy by playing an Exodia piece straight up, only to reveal Exodia Incarnate at over 4000 ATK for game. Kinda like a coming full circle thing, with this card symbolizing a new gen of Exodia that isn't being used for evil

Hope you do the rest of the protagonists specially I would love to see a video about Yusei's cards.

[@ReederMG]

Love the anime theme video. Would love to see more

[@asrieldreemurr1918]

We need a second list please and theres always some card that will make you feel badass or you will always believe weather it’s dark magician or blue eyes or star dust or black rose there’s always a monster that will a give a duelist a chance for a huge comeback

[@Qblazer100]

I would love more videos like this based off the other protagonists

I used my backup mini-mag light and held it inside the hole to see what I could see. I was excited by what I saw. The wall around the hole was about 3-5 inches thick. It led into a tight passage. The passage opened up a bit just inside the hole. It continued back about 10-12 feet in a small crawl space. After that it seemed to really open up! Although how much we couldn’t tell. This could be a virgin passage. (Obviously, no one has passed through this route, but there could be a way into the passage from the other side.) To even get to the crawl space we would have to enlarge the opening. Currently, it is about the size of my fist. Once we get past the opening we would have a tight crawl back to where it opened up. It would take some work, but we thought we could do it. We sat down for a few minutes to rest and contemplate our plan of attack. While we sat there in the darkness we could hear the wind howling from the other side of the passage. It was a low, eerie noise. We could also hear a low rumble from time to time. No big deal, though. The cave is in the vicinity of a highway that has heavy trucks drive on it. We figured the rumble was the effect of the trucks resonating through the rocks. We determined that our best plan would be to haul a cordless drill into the cave to drill into the rock. Then we could take a bullpin and a small sledgehammer and break up the rock. It seemed pretty straight-forward. We would widen the hole big enough to squeeze in and see what was on the other side. The efforts to haul all of the equipment down to the hole would be a pain, but we hoped it would be worth it. I named the passage Floyd’s Tomb, after Floyd Collins. It seemed to look like the tight spot where Floyd spent his last miserable days on earth.

I feel like there shoulda been a Gaia and a Buster Blader fusion

[@Hanmacx]

Or a Kuriboh that supports both Gaia and Black Luster Soldier

[@jobejacobs62]

That wouldnt make sense and it would be irrelevant theme wise.

[@jobejacobs62]

@@Hanmacx uh, no. It would have nothing to do with its theme.

[@Hanmacx]

@@jobejacobs62 Kuriboh and Gaia got tributed for the Black Luster Soldier in the Anime So a Kuriboh that supports both could be possible

I'm pretty sure pot of greed was one of his main cards cause it let him draw 3 cards from his deck

[@Obi-Wan_Kenobi]

What, no Obnoxious Celtic Guardian??!! I'm shocked and insulted!!!

[@PUZINE1]

I would love to see a video like this about bakura.

[@Crowe0920]

I remember the days of the terror of Mirror force....I know one day that mirror force will arise again, and these young'uns will learn to FEAR it's strength again. Also, the fact that Exodia won the big tournament in my home town of Indianapolis was pretty cool

[@ardabaykara2005]

I would love to see more anime videos for sure. Especially GX.

[@thescandinavianclown9057]

This video really makes me want to rewatch the anime… I might have to

[@evilhomer91]

There’s something touching about themes behind cards in the anime having resonance in the RL game. Even if the RL cards aren’t as powerful or popular

[@attackonyugioh92]

@ 3:40 what a beautiful excerpt 😢❤

[@mechman636]

Most definitely need more of these

[@montyeggman3075]

I'd like to see lists for other characters' cards in the future, like Kaiba, Joey, and Pegasus.

[@robertmiller3529]

You forgot the most pivotal evolution of Gaia. Swift Gaia the fierce knight, which caused Gansleys defeat and was in the last duel as well

[@rainbowdragon168]

Kuriboh is the OG card of Yugi’s and even though its weak, it helped Yugi through a lot of duels.

[@teddyhaines6613]

The funny thing is off the top of my head I can only think of two duels where he used its RL effect, against Kaiba in Battle City and against Vivian Wong in the KC Grand Prix. Usually it involved Multiply shenanigans.

[@rainbowdragon168]

@@teddyhaines6613 Yeah

[@azuredragoon2054]

Don't know if you could pick out 10 cards for this list, but I would love to see one of these lists for Kaiser Ryo/Zane Truesdale. Cyber Dragons have been an iconic part of the game and warped the meta when the OG first hit the scene.

[@gonzalosibaja801]

Thanks for the video!

[@shark_bacon]

Honorable mention Magical hats! He used that so much in the anime

[@gokaiginger]

Crackin video...any chance of doing a list for more of the characters?
