[@dustinvance243]

It's also useful in decks that require heavy or repeated lp payments to avoid death by burnout. So decks like evil eye and dinoruffia benefit from it as well. Although it's a bit tricky to use in the latter since they like to be in a certain sweet spot.

[@Cardlimits]

as a player that uses god cards, this card really gives winged dragon of ra a serious one attack kill, even if pot of prosperity is in effect.

[@DjPyro2010]

If it burned opp for their monster's ATK instead of healing owner it might see some play. You would need to gain like 1m life points from one effect for gaining LP to help you enough to be worth it.

I mean Ghost sister does have another nice niche I'm surprised wasn't mentioned: It hard counters most FTK's that focus on burning you to death that special summon a lot. Yeah it's not good against every FTK deck, but can you imagine this being released in the same format as Danger Dark World FTK or any FTK that used Firewall? I bet it would see massive amounts of play since their only way of burning is 500, and you will always far outpace the damage since you gain around 2k LP each time.

[@SloopYGO]

i countered a cyberstein ftk in master duel with it once lol

[@adamushu]

I played blue eyes numeron dragon turbo for a while, one time an opponent saved themselves from otk by activating ghost sister, as i figured after all the 3000k summons i needed my 17k atk numeron wouldnt be enough. I still won but it saved them from the otk.

[@lucimaru2123]

Yes never thought about this. Like Plant-FTK special summoning cluster amaryllis very often would have no chance. Neither would gem-knight-FTK special summoning so often. But there still would be better handtraps to side if you specifically want to counter those decks. Like hanewata prevents you from taking effect damage at all. or just play Nibiru to stop the combo.

[@brianaguilar8283]

Hanewata is another card that does something similar

[@shammooshaman9433]

To be fair, almost every FTK ever dies to one ash blossom... So there's no reason to run it over nib, ash, belle, or even ghost ogre

Another Bad Handtrap could be "Charm of Shabti" which is a Handtrap for the Gravekeeper archetype,and its only effect is to be discarded to prevent your Gravekeeper monsters from being destroyed in battle, but it is still a card with many problems, the first is the fact that due to its name it does not fit the archetype the same as Gadget Driver, so neither it can't even be searched by its archetype with cards like Gravekeeper's Supernaturalist or Gravekeeper's recruiter, then there's the fact of going -1 to only avoid battle destruction monsters that generally have low attack is ridiculous, if in addition to battle protection it had the effect of reducing the damage to 0 on an effect like Waboku or Heroic Champion Swordshield would be a bit better

Actually used to use engraver of the mark quite a bit to stop field spells, continuous cards or even just cards my opponent didn't want to leave the field, all without having to waste a MST, and then I could just use it as a material to summon something else. All in all, it was essentially a free effect to pressure my opponent in some way. For that reason, it was sort of useful (in casual play) at the time, but I can see why people don't run it, especially not anymore. Also, even though I don't really play Yugioh anymore, I love watching and listening to your videos while I work and/or do something else. Helps me get through the night. Thank you.

Nothing too broken but enough to protect you from your opponent. Perhaps just halving the damage taken would be enough.

[@UniGya]

I don’t think the psychic or the D/D ones were meant as protection, they’re for triggering effects. The psychic one is for banish psychics to trigger their effects or have a banished monster for their effects, while the D/D one is so you can bounce back a monster that has an effect that activates in the hand or on summon

[@Surya-ql2zi]

for D/D is kinda hard to be used that way tbh cause they more focused in extra deck monster effect in hand : d/d slime (i dont think anyone will summon this except they have very bad hand), D/D/D leonidas (this one to special summon itself and prevent the burn damage while on field so take it back to hand kinda useless) on summon (D/D already good at special summon from GY anyway) : d/d ogre and chevalier(only on normal summon and its level 5/6 its effect to SS or add pend monster from extra deck not really useful), d/d nighthowl (you will use it as synchro material right away) the only thing i can think is : d/d kepler (atk/def : 0/0 to search dark contract on summon so kinda useful but i think using it as link/fusion material would be better) or D/D/D kaiser (if pend summon negate all face-up opponent card)

[@blitzer25blitz62]

also Savant Galilei can provide emergency retrieval of any Dark Contract card if they would burn LP at Standby Phase.

[@nocturnalsilhouette6756]

Galilei has good uses in duel links at least, maybe not so much in the other formats. In DL it can be useful to play around MST and other removals. It can also be useful in returning Kepler to the hand if you're unable to reliably clear it from the field. Reseting your pendulum zones with it is useful too and it has decent synergy with D/D Orthros like if you have it in your pend zone being able to return it for its hand trap effect can make it easier to manage otk/ftk strategies. Galilei is better suited for speed duel formats if anything

Kuriboh is sort of an odd pick since it not only part of an archetype, but is also the center piece of said archetype.

Ghost Ogre + Emergency Teleport

[@DanTheMeek]

Thought I'd share a true story from the very earliest days of competitive Yugioh. I was at a tournament for money, the location had only started having yugioh tournaments recently (this was WELL before the ban list but after the limited list was out) and I had won the previous two tournaments, including an 80 USD pot, so I was the favorite entering the tournament, but there was a second player that everyone was watching out for entering this one as well. At this point our decks were filled with all the early game staples, raigeki, dark hole, pot of greed, monster reborn, change of heart, La Jinn, and so on. However because of the restricted list everyone had had to scramble to fill in a number of spots in their decks and there was some disagreement at that moment of what the optimal final handful of cards were a deck should be built with (again, during this early era, like 90% of every top players deck was identical so there wasn't a lot of room for personal expression). This fellow favorite to win, whose name I know but I'm just going to refer to as Rival for his privacy, and I had a disagreement before the tournament. He was filling out the 40th card of his deck with Kuriboh, while I was filling it out with Man-Eater Bug. He argued a hand trap was more important, while I argued Kuriboh was always a -1 and that while man-eater had its issues, in that format it was almost always at least a +0, with the potential for a +1 if I got the chance to flip it up on my turn. The tournament takes place and things go as many thought, with me and Rival in the finals. We trade blows, now 1-1 in the best of 3 winner takes all, and the final game is brawl for the ages with lots of same attack monsters ramming into each other and board wipes a plenty. As the match nears its final turn both our hands are empty, I'm at 400 hp, Rival is at 100. He draws and stops and thinks for a moment, asks to check my graveyard, and confirms I'm out of my beat sticks, la jins, whatever the heck else I was running at that point just as a vanilla high attacker, as well as my monster reborn and change of heart, its all in there, then with a giant smile on his face he plays the Kuriboh he just drew into face up attack position and attacks, lowering my life points 100. So we're both now at 100 lp, empty hands. I draw for my turn, then smile back, summoning my Man-Eater Bug withs its 450 attack in face up attack position and attacking Kuriboh for game. My memory is of the rest of the room erupting around us, but this was enough decades ago that might be my brain playing tricks on me. In any case, seeing Kuriboh at the beginning of this video reminded me of that match. I played competitive tournament Yugioh for years after that, but I don't know that I ever had another tournament finale that epic, or perfectly foreshadowed given the disagreement we'd had prior to the tournament.

[@witecatj6007]

D/D Galilae is a decent card for it's deck. D/D/D tends to stick with its own archetype, so the exclusivity thing is not an issue. I found that it is good fusion fodder for some of the bigger monsters in the deck, and the recovery effect protects your contracts if you don't have access to a replacement at the time. From a broader perspective it stinks, but in it's deck it is an OK card.

[@rookbishop7822]

Especially in duel link when your opponent don’t target your back row thinking the burn damage will kill you funny every time

Even in-archetype and in Duel Links it's pretty bad. It's irrelevant as a Pendulum scale next to Dog, Ark, and Orthros, there's better options for high-level Fusion material (Apocalypse, Pendragon, and Vice Typhon come to mind, and level 7 is a better level for Synchros anyway because Nighthowl can use them to make High King Alexander), and its discard effect is almost never actually useful.

Kuriboh should be left out just for the fact it's the OG hand trap and the ancestral roots of all the kuriboh variants floating around

[@epiclord7039]

Putting galili at 2 is definitely not giving enough credit to it and the archetype. If you want to use it to protect your contracts, the 1000 damage isn’t the issue, it’s you can use it to dodge removal. It’s also a lot better when you return non extra deck monsters, and hutch d/ds actually have a lot of good one that work very well with this. The reason why D/Ds are as good as they are is the are a very modular archetype. They can recover from and loop in so many different ways. You can compare galili and Newton in this way. Both allow you to recover cards to your hand, but from different places. Not to mention that discarding them puts them in the grave rather than the extra deck which is also better. Basically D/Ds can do so much that potentially more niche or obscure effects are better than normal because they can be taken advantage of. Example is D/Ds can 100% renewably loop dark contract with the witch after using its destruction effect on both yours and your opponents turn. They can also loop nikola’s Atk/def boost effect every turn as well. Both of these are due to weird interactions of effects that would typically not be considered standard level of good.

[@esseubot]

I have to add for DD Savant Kepler Galilei, because I always think he is underrated - Yeah its effect isn't the most insane but if you're playing a fully pure DDD deck it can fill a VERY specific hole in brickier hands - that's that it goes to the graveyard for almost free. In hands that are mostly if not all pendulum monsters I think it's awesome to have a monster that guarantees a graveyard fuel for stuff like Necro Slime or anything that revives from the GY - instead of how pendulums monsters you'd use for material on the field end up going to the extra deck FU. That plus it being high level (allowing you to use it as material for high Genghis) makes it such a handy tech card for pure D/Ds.

Top 10 Yugioh Cards that Search One Specific Card (Ex: Aleister The Invoker)

[@Hero_of_Comedy]

I know you've done a list of cards that had stronger effects in the anime than they do in the OCG/TCG, But have you done a list of rarely used cards that would probably see more play if they had their anime effects?

[@kodytiffany5686]

Time Escaper has a better purpose than you stated. Several Psychics proct when banished or when special summoned after being banished. so it might be able to function as an extender in some niche plays.

[@werbearjack]

I was almost expecting Ursarctics to make an appearence on here. As much as I love the bears the world's slowest and most costly Book of Moon or D.D. Crow are not all that strong.

Top 10 best cards that need specific cards. Also, Top 10 worst cards that need specific named cards. Example for Best: Cyber Repair Plant. Example for Worst: Marshmallon glasses

[@mikaela5938]

ghost sister is a card that will always be bad in digital games and always be really good irl bc of time rules and only having 40 minutes to play a full 2/3 set which is just not realistically possible in modern yugioh without very early surrenders

[@Endymion0021]

I liked the first Archfiend cards themeing, they were chess related in cardname and art, but sadly they did barely anything to translate those themes due to their time of origin, except for rook and pawn, where rook actualy did the castle strategy to save the king... even if a bit late, and pawn being the you can't attack any other archfiend monster meatshield.

[@CreepyAurores]

One little note for the number 10 spot: Kuriboh can also be a better option than sphere k. And Rainbow K. in the eventuality the opponent controls a monster that is immune to card effects. Example: If my opponent has the Geomathmech Boss monster in the extra monster zone, wich makes it immune to any effect whatsoever (except Mathmech effects) then Rainbow K. cannot equip itself to it, and Sphere cannot switch its battle position. Kuriboh instead nullifies the damage, has nothing to do with the monster, so OG Kuriboh can still be very useful in this types of instances

[@LeSchlawiner]

ghost sister is sometimes used as a side deck Option during Formats, where duels last long so that you often win/lose via time out. How tf is she worse than kuriboh

[@Ninja_Geek]

Top 10 cards that have whole archetypes/series based on them like Cyber Dragon, Thunder Dragon, Trap Hole, Mirror Force, BLS, and maybe Morphing Jar and Pot of Greed Edit: I can't believe I forgot 2 of the waifu archetypes of Dark Magician Girl and Harpie Lady

[@sridergeorge]

I use DD Savant Galilei in my DDD deck, but not for the reasons listed…usually. It can save you from taking damage, but the real reason it’s helpful is to pull DD Savant Kepler back to the hand if its effect is chained with Infinite Impermanence, Effect Veiler, etc.

[@nocturnalsilhouette6756]

Galilei is one of the coolest DD cards in all honesty. There is nothing more satisfying to use it to return DD Orthros from the pendulum zone for its hand trap effect to prevent otk/ftks or drawing into it when you're about to lose to contract damage

[@sridergeorge]

@@nocturnalsilhouette6756 I didn’t even think about that! Yeah - I’d say the reason it’s good is simply because of it’s flexibility - it opens up a lot of combo lanes quickly doesn’t it?

[@nocturnalsilhouette6756]

@@sridergeorge yeah it's flexibility is insane tbh like the its the best defense and the thing that can start plays in a way like in Duel Links you can even use it to play around MST and other removal to protect your contracts or even if you're trying to set up your pend scales too. It has unique synergy with some of the other contracts and monster cards too like with Contract with the Yamimakai you can use it to return cards from the grave/extra deck to your pend zones and then return them to the hand with Galilei, even with DDD Supreme King Kaiser in that you can pendulum summon it and then you can return Kaiser to the hand to be able to pendulum summon it again. It's like the key that opens a puzzle box of different combos and possibilities if that makes sense? lol the only real downside to it is that it's a level 10; as a level 8 or lower it might have been too good

[@TheKyleBrah]

20:35 "Archfiend Emperor, the First Lord of Whores." Gotta love the North American accent for such gems 😂

[@TheRax21]

I have won so many games thanks to Ghost Sister due to time. I always chain it to an effect that special summons a monster so I can get some guaranteed life points.

[@supremesage2206]

D/D Savant Galili really shouldn't be on here considering that it can bounce back your scales as well. Considering that D/D/D have a monster that allows them to set scales from the deck you can easily pull off some fun strategies with that. Also side note I like how a lot of D/D/D cards lock you into playing D/D/D. I wish more decks would do that. Playing pure D/D/D is so much fun because there's so many routes you can take.

Top 10 Best/Worst Generic Xyz Monsters

[@timondimare1976]

can you please do a video about the karakuri archetype ❤️

[@griffentyndal3890]

Damn nice to see that Time Escaper can protect Edward Elric.

[@kevingao1512]

Time Escaper might be a very bad card but it made sense in the era when it was released (Extreme Victory) since there was an attempt at a “Remove from Play Psychic” archetype where this both got you a psychic RFP’d and help it dodge the removal of that era (when mirror force was limited to 1). I don’t recall if it was super good but I recall it being ok and maybe a 1-2 of in a few casual decks back in middle school. It was certainly better in the power level of its day than now.

Yo but kuriboh engine for dystopia.

[@dankicks]

Ah, yes. I remember using Kuriboh in Stein format. Brings back warm and fuzzy memories of shock and disgust 🤣🤣🤣

[@pamoon_]

Unless we have a continuous spell that says “Pay 8000 LP; draw 2 cards”, then yeah Ghost Sister probably will stay pretty bad.

[@moh.syafrianabie8899]

There's Ancient Leaf, and that card along with ghost sister is still sucks

[@micha-elhorus5799]

I dont think Ghost sister sux

[@Crimzonbreaker]

This title reminds me of your vid "Worst cards with Quick Effect" where you said Red Gardna?...It feels really off because it is the only Main Deck Red Dragon Archfiend card that provides optimal protection. Might I add Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Abyss is a competitive card. Red Gardna requires ANY RDA monster to activate (not just Og RDA) So you have a board of negates (including Abyss) then you can stop your opponent from baiting you with Lightning Storm/Raigeki. Side Note: Gardna protects all the monsters you control not just a RDA monster

[@ddm_gamer]

Yeah he sometimes has some strange takes to avoid talking about the same cards all the time or its just him trying to make it more interresting

Classic Yugioh Players: WTF is a Hand Trap

[@DoArc]

My dude, the video started with Kuriboh

[@sugarsmile7852]

4:12 I've seen this card on Twitter

[@ge789]

I have a fun utility for Ghost Sister. I use it in Evil Eye and utilise it’s ability to manipulate LP in the way I need it to. Activate it during my opponent’s turn to gain more LP to give Evil Eye’s more attack under Selene, or use it on my turn and purposely half my LP to gain much more attack with Gorgonne, which pairs well as a surprise retaliation with Hidden Armoury. It’s not the best strategy, but it’s a fun one for me nevertheless.

[@megaguy4445]

Ghost sister is a underrated tech for playing against swordsoul or prank kids in game 3 if your going 2nd. Both decks have native burn and it keeps you from losing in time.

[@thetwentyseventh27]

I just thought of one puppeteer use. And it's terrible it's just funny. What if you used puppeteer to move around Kaijus, Sphere Rah and Lava Golem to occupy zones link monsters point at

[@tashunagray7720]

"A hand trap is a card that activates during your hand, from either players turn" was this mistake intentional?

[@abuhassan8849]

I remember when Engraver of the Mark was extremely hyped up once "Crossout Designator" would get important to TCG lmfao

[@DrAiPatch]

Funny enough Bahalutiya, the Grand Radiance would be pretty good in Starry Knight since that deck is guild to summon and bounce lvl 7 light dragons..... I feel like there is a way to make it so you can empty your opponent's hand and lock them out of adding the banished cards to there hand.
