Top 10 Best Cards with Raigeki-Like Effects in Yugioh

[@ShyRanger]

Fun fact to those who haven't kept up with the anime. In Yugioh VRains, which began around 2018-2019, the main villain of the first season is hyped up to have an amazingly powerul card that can wipe the field and the characters spend multiple duels being cautious and figuring out what it is, and they find out that god-tier card is... Mirror Force.

[@removebeforeflightgamingth9923]

Haha is this a joke

[@keymaster16]

@@removebeforeflightgamingth9923 the 'joke' is that link monsters don't HAVE a defense position and so have no native way to 'play around' it. never mind that by that time the TCG had evolved beyond using TRAP CARDS natively thanks to the speed of the game devolving cards into 'turn 1/turn 2' cards.

[@OwerfordAmazington]

I remember sitting through a lot of the first season of VRAINS thinking “they could just win with Mirror Force,” so I popped off when the villain actually used Mirror Force

[@Diabl0Mask]

I actually thought it was pretty cool they did that, not everything has to exist for the sake of the real competitive game, although they probably did it to hype the Mirror Force support they made that time.

Honestly, I'm surprised Obelisk made this list over Machina Citadel and Starving Venom. Citadel when combined with either Super Dora or Infinitrack Goliath makes it a one-side board wipe. And then Starving Venom though being a more conditional Dark Hole, is still a Super Poly target meaning it's a layer of protection on top of interruption that can't be responded to.

[@zaekulia]

Or you can just take Darklord Zerato which only costs one Dark monster from the hand and can be brought out much easier. Or just The first Darklord which is a one sided field wipe on summon. Obelisk prob just won because of popularity, just like some other cards on the list

[@zad_rasera]

Did Citadel see any competitive play? Obelisk was really good in the Ruler format. Also, I think Starving is more of a Dark Hole-like effect. Edit: Dark Hole itself made it in this list. Yeah, I feel like Starving should make it in this list.

[@kitsune_jones]

Heya Mr. Logs from the TheDuelLogs channel, could you make a top 10 list of archetypes that have effects that "break the rules" of the game because they have card text that says they can i.e ones like Zoodiacs Xyz summoning with only one monster, Ursarctics synchroing by subtracting instead of adding levels and Blackwings synchroing with materials in the GY, Drytrons ritual summoning based on atk instead of levels, Madolches shuffling themselves back into the deck instead of going to the GY, True Dracos tribute summoning with continuous spells & traps instead of monsters etc. I think that'd be an interesting video since we get to see the history of Konami introducing new mechanics to keep the game fresh and insteresting.

13:08 Agreed: In a Timelord deck, Dark Hole is useful because Timelords are unaffected and if there is a trapped, negated Timelord on my side, which essentially blocks another summon, Dark Hole can get rid of that so that I can summon a new TImelord.

If it's negated, it loses *all* protection, so you can simply crash it or have the opponent kill it by battle...

Before acid reprint, I use interdimensional matter transporter for absolute zero because of the fraction transporter can remove absolute to proc its effect. But also act as a form of protection for some monsters when they need a quick escape since it caught people off guard

[@harkyz4439]

@@shadowfan115 Raigeki + Macro still destroy by card effect, meh

[@GreatPharaohYT]

I personally believe Machina could be in Obelisk’s or Mirror force’s place. Obelisk requires to tribute 2 monsters and locks you from attacking with it that turn, where citadel destroys a monster of your choice (potentially helping you to special summon citadel from the grave of there’s another one there) but also doesn’t restrict you from attacking. Mirror force only destroys attack position monsters meaning that it’s not rocket science to switch your monsters in defense position to secure them as well as having to be activated during the battle phase making it even more situational comparing it to citadel’s quick effect that can be used at any time.

[@saiyan_princestudios9790]

With “umi” and sea stealth attack you can turn elemental hero absolute zero into a raigeki every turn. I’ve messed around with it in master duel as a troll deck. It’s hilarious but not too competitive yet bc it’s just too hard to setup quickly. Even with 3x warrior of Atlantis and 3x legendary ocean and 3x ssa, you’d still need poly, a hero and a water card. Might be more viable when the new sea stealth support comes to the tgc in the future.

[@superbaas8822]

A fun trivia, at the Bolivia nationals, there were no maindecked copies of raigeki, both were in the sideboard. Harpie's Feather Duster had 3 copies present, 2 maindecked and 1 sideboarded. Chainge of Heart had 2 copies mainboard and none in the side, and Monster Reborn had a single maindecked copy, none in the side, and it was in the deck that won the whole event. Of the old school "staples", Foolish Burial had the most copies present, 4, all mainboarded.

[@Torexyo0]

i agree as well, also wanted to comment this

[@bvc5320]

Agreed. It's bad enough to warrant a seizure warning. A much slower version would've been better.

[@benhwa101]

It is important to point out that Mirrorjade only activate its raigeki-like effect when it is fusion summoned, and this will be relevant as Despia deck would banish their own Mirrorjade and bring it back with Ad Libitum in order to get a second banish in the same turn

[@cctz_1]

Which is crazy to me since they put a once per other turn restriction on the effect, just to keep it soft and let ad lib do that nonsense lol. Def feels intentional tho

[@teddyhaines6613]

I knew Lightning Storm would be here, but kind of thought we might see Aslla Piscu or Judgment Dragon as well because of the former's FTK potential and the latter's ability to nuke the field over and over again if you have LP to spare.

[@Prince_Eva_Huepow]

Judgement has no protection and is harder to summon. Piscu isn't on here probably because of the difficulty in set up but is way easier to summon and does burn damage.

[@kodytiffany5686]

My personal fav way to make use of Torrential Tribute is to combo it with Torrential Reborn... not only do you resummon your water monsters but it comes with bonus damage.

[@HerrenGamingNews]

Mirrorjade and Despia Proskenion is pretty much my win condition with MirrorJade's effect to banish problematic boss monsters and field wipe and Proskenion's banishing, revival and burn effect by turn 3 you should be able to OTK no problem especially if you use Despia Dramaturge as fusion material for Proskenion you have a full lock down on the field with OTK.

[@cinnamonflamingo]

I feel like Fire King High Avatar Garunix deserves a mention. It's a level 8 fire/winged beast effect monster with 1700 ATK and 1700 DEF, with the effect that if it's destroyed by a card effect, special summon it from the graveyard in the next standby phase and when you do destroy all other monsters on the field. When it's destroyed by battle, you can special summon one Fire King monster from your deck excpept High Avatar Garunix

[@seansquiers6506]

Minor correction, it has 2700 attack (I'm assuming it was a typo lmao). And has archetypal ways of destroying itself via card effect. Circle of the Fire Kings is a quick play spell card that allows you to destroy one fire monster you control and special summon one fire monster from the graveyard. Also Onslought of the Fire Kings allows you to special summon any Fire King monster from your deck if you have no monsters but it is destroyed during the end phase. Another thing to note is that if you managed to get a second Fire King High Avatar Garunix on the field during the same turn that the one summoned via onslaught was still there before being destroyed you would make an infinite loop unless one was banished or destroyed by battle. On top of other fire kings being able to destroy other cards you control or in your hand or via the same effect as onslaught but instead when it is sent to the gv this effect is easy to do without cooperation from your opponent.

[@ElMisterDeLosGuantes]

for obelisk you could use lair of darkness so you can tribute 1 of your monsters and 1 of your opponent's to activate its effect, costing only 4 cards to summon it and activate its effect and also summoning defenses when your turn ends

[@kyyourneutralisminekiske7104]

Honestly, hearing that Obelisk saw competitive play bc of Dragon Rulers makes me still think about actual Egyptian God support (I still really love the design and feel so I still cope for getting it someday)

[@skeletonwar4445]

It exists tho? And it's... serviceable. It's a long shot away from being meta, but Egyptian Gods are definitely playable at least. Soul Crossing is a disgustingly strong card. Same goes for the Slifer-themed board wipe as well as the Ra support spell. And, of course, Ra Sphere Mode is simply amazing at breaking boards.

[@passaroquetzalcoatlus6205]

Machina Citadel and Topologic bomber dragon would also quality most of the time

[@kr555wizard]

I'd personally reduce lighting storm a few spots, just cause it sucks if you go first, or sucks if you draw it after you have a board built up, it is powerful, but most of the time in my experience at least it has a decently large chance of being a brick. In addition its board wipe is worse than the next few slots, since its only face up attack monsters, which makes it pretty easy to play around. good list as usual though.

[@Rhapsdos]

I'm fairly surprised a card like AA-Zeus didn't make the list. It wipes out all monsters and backrow, can use its effect multiple times, even in the same chain, and isn't too hard to bring out in any XYZ deck.

[@tokenzero1020]

[@TheDuelLogs]

Noted. I'll pass that onto my editors to cut the brightness on that one if used again

[@alonsoarana5307]

I feel Judgment Dragon should have been on this list over Obelisk just on the basis that it's not a once per turn, it only costs 1000 LP to use his effect, and wipes out everything

[@xCorvus7x]

Full board wipes aren't exactly Raigeki-like, though.

[@xCorvus7x]

Then again, what makes Protos better than Raigeki is the floodgate effect, not the Raigeki, so there's a debate to be had. However, it seems that TheDuelLogs draws the line at also destroying backrow, especially considering they've already made a video on field wipes.

[@Prince_Eva_Huepow]

It isn't like Raigeki in that it nukes the whole field instead of just monsters. It does require 4 different Lightsworns in gy to summon; mill top 4 cards of your deck, has no self-protection and only 3000 atk with 2600 def. Far easier to beat with both card effects and battle while being harder to summon. Paying more than 2000 lp can be detrimental as well. It is far more powerful an effect at the cost of protection and summoning: no protection and can only be special summon and with specific cards.

[@alonsoarana5307]

@@Prince_Eva_Huepow yeah, except JD can be summoned a lot easier than Obelisk, and can wipe out Obelisk since it does not target. It's a vastly superior card and you know it

[@Prince_Eva_Huepow]

@@alonsoarana5307 Equal power at most since some can just attack over it and Lightsworns excell at self-milling. Too bad you nuke yourself while you're at it in return for 1000 less damage than God. At least God can be tribute summoned and can't be targeted unlike JD who can only be special summoned and is defenseless. Paraphrasing what DL said, it becomes less useful the more of your resources you commit to your field. If you could play both, preferably not together, you'd be set to win.

Im gonna guess ZEUS will be here. Pretty cool card, been the Accescode Talker for XYZ monsters (An accesible generic monster rlly good for Link Monsters)

Idk if it would really count as a "best" raigeki effect but I'm a little surprised to see no mention of Aslla Piscu.

Ignoring, of course, the fact that earthbounds don't really see play due to their rather glaring weaknesses. :(

[@mystictomato9466]

I really love the fact that DuelLogs gives so much love to my favorite yugioh card of all times, Obelisk.

[@ethanbelleau6893]

I thought that that Levia-Dragon would make this list. It has the effect that if you remove umi from your field you have a dark hole effect, but it doesn't remove Levia-Dragon. You can do it as much as possible and a lot of cards name them selfs umi. You can do it as many times as you want as well. I guess it probably wasn't used in competitive for whatever reason.

[@ethanbelleau6893]

I should probably add it destroys spells and traps as well.

[@FacetiousEnigma]

Thunderclap Skywolf definitely should have been on this list. If you use it as the main boss monster in a deck along with Thunder Seahorse to search Batteryman Solar which, on normal summon, can send skywolf to the GY, you can easily setup multiple raigeki effects for your opponent's turn. The cool thing about Skywolf is that its effect is arguably easier to activate than Torrential or Mirror Force given that its only requirement is being summoned from the GY. Several trap cards can bring your monsters back like Back to The Front, Call of The Haunted, and Oasis of Dragon Souls. It has a myriad of other supporting cards as well. Unlike Torrential or Mirror Force, Skywolf doesn't suffer from backrow removal that will stop you activating the effect as you can just chain your trap cards to bring back skywolf and still activate the raigeki effect on resolution. Skywolf decks (at least the one I play) are hyper consistent. Because you don't special summon on your first turn but your opponent's turn, you're able to get to your setup cards like Batteryman Solar and revival trap cards with other cards like Thunder Seahorse, Card of Demise, or any good "Pot" cards except Desires. Also, the drawback of Demise is actually a benefit for Skywolf decks because you need it in your GY to interrupt your opponent. Now, the drawback of Skywolf's effect and probably the reason that you didn't include it in the list is because it specifies "Face up monsters". But I think that drawback is less bad than potentially destroying your own monsters as well like how Dark Hole and Torrential Tribute can. The fact that it doesn't destroy your own monsters is even more valuable because of how Skywolf interacts with Batteryman Solar. Because Batteryman Solar will summon a thunder token whenever a thunder monster is summoned, you can start your plays with Batteryman, send Skywolf, pass turn, summon Skywolf, get the token, wipe your opponent's board, and probably have two thunder monsters when you start your turn because you've interrupted your opponent so much. Even if you don't have two, you can probably get another normal summon on the board via the plethora of draw spells at your disposal or the overpowered effect of Thunder Seahorse which searches not one, but two of a monster from the deck. If you have two thunder monsters and you've run out of revival traps or have dead cards in hand, you can use those two monsters to link into Some Summer Summoner which has an effect that allows you to, on your opponent's turn, discard one card to special summon a thunder monster from your GY to a monster zone it points to. Alternatively, if you start your turn with Skywolf on the field and need to get rid of it, you can link it and two other monsters into Soldier of Chaos and gain its additional effect which gives it Towers-like protection. By the time you get to Soldier of Chaos you've probably drained your opponent of resources to deal with such a threat which makes it a great way to close out the game. There are some obvious counters to Skywolf, though. If your opponent targets Skywolf with Called By The Grave and its effect resolves, you might lose the duel. This is why you play cards like Solemn Judgment, Dark Bribe, and Imperial Iron Wall (the most important). There's a trap card I like to tech in sometimes called Thunder Dragon Discharge which is a part of the Thunder Dragon archetype that prevents your Thunder Monster's effect from being negated. However, it doesn't prevent your revival traps from being negated and drawing multiple is really bad. TheDuelLogs, please play Thunderclap Turbo on stream. You would love it. TY.

[@stephenmalvar1169]

[@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire]

Best cards that revolve around helping normal summon monsters, or best cards that prefer to be normal summoned (like Breaker the magical warrior). Also, an idea for such a support card: _Normal Summon Cascade_ Quick Play Spell _Once per turn you may banish at least one monster you own with a level in your hand or field; until the end phase of your next turn you may conduct three additional normal or tribute summons per turn of monsters with the same level, type and attribute as that monster(s) you banished. When you activate this set card, this cards effects cannot be negated, and you gain LP equal to the combined levels of monsters you normal or tribute summon X500 until the end phase of your next turn. Monsters you normal or tribute summon after the activation of this card cannot be used as material to summon extra deck monsters until the end phase of your next turn, and until the end phase of your next turn your opponents cards are unaffected by their card effects._

Question: What made you pick Absolute Zero over Evil HERO Malicious Bane, since Bane can destroy all your opponent's monsters with lower ATK once per turn, and can't be destroyed? Not disagreeing (or agreeing), just curious.

[@nichidoushiro]

I think the main reason is that absolute zero's effect triggers no matter how it leaves the field (unless sent back into the extra deck), which means most forms of removals and even your own card effects can trigger the nuke (which also means you can trigger it actively during your opponent's turn), and also, given the pace of the current metagame, you don't usually need a second nuke to establish a strong enough board presence to win, so Malicious Bane's once per turn is not highly necessary.

I know earth machines are nowhere near top tier but man it’s sad not to see Machina Citadel on this list, even as an honorable mention. It has such an abusable and easily-recyclable Raigeki-like effect on top of providing a fat body and easy recursion. Any time I’ve managed to overcome a top tier deck with my earth machines, Citadel was always a critical piece of clearing my opponent’s board or getting combos going along with Anger Knuckle during my opponent’s turn, on top of the fact that it’s another easily accessible rank 10 piece for your BIG TANK TRAINS

[@xyz-dharak]

Maybe not top tier but earth machines are toping events

[@fukou_da]

@@xyz-dharak true, but Therions are doing more of the heavy lifting than Machina

[@xyz-dharak]

@@fukou_da earth machine was topping already before regulus

[@jasonguo2141]

In Master Duel, earth machine is pretty good since VFD is still viable, and infinitrack can turbo it out very easily and spam its effect thanks to Goliath fodder.

[@ShoXwavee]

And it's way easier to summon in pure Machinas

[@AlmightyKevo]

Evil hero malicious bane and first darklord are good honorable mentions since they’re both archetype dependent

[@natosen]

I'm glad someone still remember hero deck

[@esc7151]

Raigeki goes to a Raigeki-like effects contest.... and looses

[@n4dask921]

top 10 cards that should be in your older videos but did not exist at the time

[@truetakofame4112]

I use Torrential Tribute for my Rikka deck in Master Duel and IRL. And to help prevent my opponent from destroying TT I use 3 Starlight Roads in my deck to make sure they don't board wipe my back row. Honestly, I'm glad Fury of Kairyu-Shin exists. Because back then, TT was the bane of my existence. And I'm just glad now, I can use it against someone else for a change.

[@ratsolla]

Top ten splashable packages in yugioh history (zoodiac, dpe, brave ect.)

[@sebtherowlet]

Where’s “The Law of the Normal” clearly it’s the best raigeki like card and its actually even easier and better to use?

[@insomniacneversleep3665]

Mirror Force is the sole reason I had trust issues in the early years of this game and always MST, Dust Tornado and Heavy Storm.

[@wolfgirl737]

Love these videos but I had to pause because I started laughing from the multiple times "meow-meow" was said

[@Crimzonbreaker]

Can you do Top 10 Cards That Banish FYI - Red Supernova Dragon is Top 3

[@gunbladeuser19]

Video idea (since I don't think I've seen this one yet) "Top 10 Equipment Creatures." They don't have to be Union cards but I wouldn't be surprised if Mechina GearFrame was on the list. This would be different from the absorb effect with Relinquish & Plasma because those take the opponent's monsters. I'm thinking of equipping your own monsters. Cyberdark cards that used to grab Hunter Dragon & 5 Headed Dragon from the grave. (I used Rainbow Dark Dragon with Foolish, B. myself.) Red-Eyes Black Dragon Sword. The little dragon's for Buster Blader. Dragunity cards. Monsters that usually performed better attachment to another card than solely just themselves.

[@patrickj.pilardiaz3849]

Imagine being in 4th place in a Top List of the best cards that replicates your effect Feelsbadman

[@alial-kateeb5267]

I would like to see something like Top 10 Armageddon knight like carda and other stratos like videos

[@GiorgosPanteloukas]

Maybe you can do the same with Change of Heart-Like effects?

[@spiderman110990]

List suggestion: top 10 best/worst cards you can "only control one of". If it's already been done, feel free to correct.

[@angrybeard8999]

^^^ This

[@fernandorios474]

I know this is an old ruling but for King's Knight effect can Special Summon Jack's Knight the Torrential Tribute's effect

[@angrybeard8999]

Fire King High Avatar Garunix is a good honorable mention. Either players standby phase monster board wipe.

[@sadboyflrn5641]

Exciton Knight deserves a spot on this list!

[@magicbean7982]

The fact that obelisk made the list and machina citadel didn’t, is very surprising to me…

[@alialluaibi3008]

Please do Top 10 fusion monsters that can only be brought out by polymerization

[@azuredragoon2054]

So top 10 Fusion Monsters that MUST be Fusion Summoned? Gonna be a tough to research list if you ask me. I don't think any of them have been competitive.

[@lightning2279]

Nice one. Tho I still do feel you could argue raigeki is better than the top 2. Lighting storm is honestly only useful against backrow decks. Combo decks almost always put their monsters in defense position unless they are playing a link monster on their end board. So generally speaking raigeki to me way is way better over lightning storm since even if it doesn't destroy all their monsters it will at least force out a negate.

[@gilgameshoblivion6380]

Ayyy thanks for the vid

[@Sly6311]

u forgot king of demise, its one of the best Raigeki-Like Effects you can use it as many times as you like in the same turn !! (if something negotiate without destroying it you can just active it again) and if you summon Demise, Supreme King of Armageddon with ritual monsters you dont need to pay LP

[@kodytiffany5686]

Personally I see Lightning Storm as over ratted and not just slightly. Then again having a restriction of no face up cards is why I see it as infuriating.

[@aleks_moldi]

I mean yea but if u go 2nd and have it in ur hand it is free mirror force/feather duster

[@kodytiffany5686]

@@aleks_moldi right. but its over rated because it being in your go 2nd hand is 100% luck based and not at all reliable. Its copies of other versatile cards in those slots that would be better. My way of seeing it. I mean my luck with it is terrible,.

[@LabMatt]

Raigeki not being number one is like Charlie Chaplin losing a Chaplin look-alike contest

[@thatoneguy2136]

Supreme King Dragon Clear Wing or Black Rose Dragon are 2 good Synchros Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend’s also pretty good

[@AtlasNovack]

Top 10 cards with YGO cards in their artwork (card of safe return, rare value, etc.)

[@turtlebeach3116]

A top 10 cards which activation cannot be stopped? Like super poly where your enemy cannot respond to or droplet

[@carlhirsch1179]

Albaz effect can use an opponents extra-deck Monster for mirrorjade

[@durge12]

the facepalm when goyo guardian is listed as an example of a level 8 synchro. proofreading yer scripts before recording the audio would be a worthwhile quality upgrade dontcha think?

[@bloodmight8490]

Considering you added both board wipes, I’m surprised you didn’t add the real #1, AA-ZUES

[@angrybeard8999]

Zeus does not have a Raigeki-like effect

[@saiyan_princestudios9790]

I can’t wait for the day absolute zero and acid come to duel links… IF they ever come. Idk they might be too powerful for a 20 card deck 😎
