Explaining All Banned Extra Deck Monsters in YuGiOh [Part 6]

[@RunicSigils]

Really the major problem of Summon Sorceress is that it's generic to summon and summons generically. (In fact if we're going to be realistic that's the problem with a lot of extra deck monsters and the ideal fix to the entire game would be making it so they all require at least one specific monster, type, attribute, or archetype). Instead of the banishing, limiting it's summon and effect to Spellcasters would be a fairly big blow and it would boost a few decks that would greatly appreciate it rather than just being another generic insert. If there needed to be another effect, locking you into only being able to special summon Spellcasters for the rest of the turn (or even during the turn you used that effect at all) would be a huge limit that would also not entirely shut down the decks that need the help.

[@marco4317]

[@Quintingent]

@@AshbornXVI It's worth remembering the context that at the time she was released she (and a bunch of the LVP1 Links) were intended to be generic type/mechanic supporting links to mitigate the restrictions in MR4. The effects were supposed to be related to the archetypes they're a part of (Isolde sending equips, Halq doing things on your opponent's turn for example) but generic enough that they still functioned as type support. Honestly I think Isolde is fine right now. Yes, summoning potentially any warrior from the deck has incredible potential, but due to the sheer number of garnets you have to run to get anything of a decent level, it had better win you the game there and then. With the key pieces of warrior combo decks banned, Isolde isn't really an issue. Though if we ever get a powerful low level warrior it could be trouble.

[@harryf9885]

I am currently a duel links only player who watches these videos because I am curious about the tcg and also because I want to learn about future cards and mechanics that may make it into duel links (Also your videos are great). The pendulum tutorial was helpful to me and probably to others like me, especially since u make Duel links videos too. Also I have a DL-TCG crossover video idea: Top ten cards banned in the TCG that are unlimited in Duel Links. Because of the lower power level of DL you might think at first glance that there wouldn’t be any cards that qualify for this list but there are actually a good number for various reasons. Here is the list of all of the ones that I know of in no particular order: -Ancient Fairy Dragon -Block Dragon -Glow-Up Bulb -Jet Synchron -Blackwing Steam The Cloak -Eclipse Wyvern -Orcust Harp Horror -Samsara Lotus -Smoke Grenade of the thief It might make sense to also include a few cards that are only limited in the TCG like -Infernity Archfiend -Miscellaneousaurous -Gem Knight Master diamond -Into the void If he doesn’t make the video or people are curious, below is a list of explanations for why the banned cards aren’t banned in DL. -Ancient Fairy Dragon: Not as many broken field spells to abuse, although starting with a field spell skill u can get an easy search of a necrovalley which is probably the most practical. For floaters we are basically limited to the FA ones, and FA isn’t meta at the moment. -Block Dragon: Same reason it wasn’t banned in the TCG till recently. Rock sux, though not nearly as much historically in DL. Block dragon decks were pretty strong when we still had grass. Speaking of which if you made this list a year and a half ago ‘that grass looks greener‘ would be number one easily. -The Halqifibrax Brigade (Glow-Up Bulb, Jet Synchron, Blackwing Steam the Cloak) these are not banned because no Halqifibrax. We don’t have destrudo but if we did it would get banned lol. Steam the cloak probably deserves a special mention in the video for being abusable with other links. -Eclipse Wyvern: less OP dragons and less graveyard dragons. Though they did give us Levianeer for some god forsaken reason, and that is almost always what you search with Eclipse Wyvern. If that gets banned in the TCG it will be added to the list. -Orcust Harp Horror: No Dingirsu and like half of the rest of the archetype. Best use in DL is with Desperado Barrel Dragon -Samsara Lotus: No consistent FTK yet. Probably the best we have right now is to use flare metal dragon and summon Slifer to opponents field to repeatedly destroy samsara and activate Flare Metal’s Effect. -Wind-Up Carrier Zenmaity: No hunter so no hand destruction. I think we are probably also missing some other wind ups but that is the big one. This card did facilitate a one card Fortune Lady Every play (a synchro that is difficult to summon in DL outside of certain decks) that was part of getting a skill nerfed but that is about it. -smoke grenade of the thief: no infernobles basically, was decent in the early days when storm + wild tornado was a very common removal option. This is already the longest comment ever so Here is a quick rundown of the limited cards. -Infernity Archfiend: Missing support/Extra deck options -Miscellaneousaurous: way less dino support. -Gem Knight MD: limiting lapis was enough to rein in ftk in DL. -Into the void: less graveyard effects, harder to meet hand size requirement with 4 card starting hand.

Neat, I've been wanting a Top 10 cards that are good because of their cost, and didn't realize Denglong and Number 95 would also count. Even Electrumite could be counted since destroying Pendulum scales is often a benefit.

[@thepoweroftheweed2215]

Yes but it would be a mess to organize such a complex video. You first need to choose a card (Herald of the arc light?

I still find it kinda weird that Pendulums go to the extra deck instead of the graveyard.

[@theandroid5282]

The reason why is so you can Pendulum summon them back after they've destroyed. It really feels like Konami just had a whole bunch of ideas for summoning mechanics that they just decided to cram into Pendulums in all honesty. It really feels like I discover something new with Pendulums every time I read about them.

[@BatmannotBruceWayne1]

The actual reason, which I think is pretty intuitive, especially if you’ve seen Arc V, is that by going to the extra deck to be summoned again, allows the flow of the game to represent how a pendulum swings. The point of a pendulum is how it swings both ways, and pendulum cards with this mechanic emulate that, in a way that doesn’t make them just a GY deck.

[@Astro986]

I was just waiting for Dark Matter Dragon because it lets me talk about this broken combo you could pull off with it. It involved Amorphage Goliath and Arkbrave Dragon. Now it’s been a while since I’ve used Arkbrave, so I don’t remember it’s full effect. I do, however, remember Goliath’s effect. Basically, what you would do is set up to summon Dark Matter, use its mill effect and send any three dragon cards including Amorphage Goliath to the graveyard. You would then special summon Goliath using Arkbrave’s effect, which would lock your opponent out of summoning from their extra deck indefinitely. This affected you too, but since you had Dark Matter out, it didn’t matter. Unless your opponent got rid of Goliath, they could not use their extra deck unless they used Amorphage’s. This one combo basically crippled their entire strategy.

[@luxray4911]

[@Doge-zg8lc]

Dark Matter needs restriction on only sending dragon "Galaxy" "Photon" as well as only once per turn with limit to one copy. The attacking twice is good but Galaxy already has prime that can shoot up to crazy levels of damage and others that do a lot too like possibly Tachyon attacking twice or Ciphers stealing monsters and the Cipher that did the stealing still being able to attack directly.

The words it's and its are one of, if not the only exception to the possessive contraction methodology. When you want to say something is possessed by 'it', you would say 'its', instead of the usual rule of the apostrophe before the 's'. 'It's' like this is the contraction for 'it is', so while I'm well aware it's an easy mistake to make for anyone familiar with the usual possessive strategy, I thought it would be beneficial for folks to be made aware of that. Again, not invalidating your message, It just would make it look more credible to incorporate.

Speaking as one of the peeps who *doesn't* play the game (but casually pays attention because I just like studying game design), I appreciate the explanation for Pendulums. It really is just... one of the least intuitive 'main' summoning mechanics in my experience. The other summon types are fairly self explanatory, and have single sentence explanations for how they happen - Ritual: follow instructions on the cards. Fusion: follow instructions on the card(s), using materials listed. Synchro: Levels must add up exactly. XYZ: materials used are placed under card instead of going to the graveyard. Link: Link rank of summon must be at least equal to combined total of materials links (non links are 1), and to somewhere with arrows. And a lot of these are well conveyed just reading the cards, even for a non-player. Pendulums are just... there's a lot of dangling user interface stuff that just has no explanation unless you sit down and have it explained to you (by a person or by the book)

Kinda makes you wonder why they didn't just rework the rules for Pendulum Summoning, instead of locking them to Link Monsters.

Another fix I thought of was, if you choose to pendulum summon. You had to pick either your hand or extra deck of which to summon from, per pendulum summon. Don't know if anyone agrees with these fixes.

It also makes it unable to be used as a link summon. 2: Denglong, Locking them into wyrm or Yang-Zings, would keep it strong, but only for Yang-Zings 3: Number 95. Make it a hard once per turn and making it lock you into Galaxy-Eyes seems reasonable enough. 4: Electromite: Hard once per turn, banish the pendulum on the field instead of destroying it, make it a link 3, and give it a third down arrow. That way, it's more of a cost to pay, harder to bring out, and helps the pendulum more.

[@mewdiamant]

Even with your erata for Summon sorceress, it would be an easy 1 monster link 5 with halquifibrax. And even if halquifibrax is banned, having a way to turn any link 3 into a link 4 with no cost would be broken.

[@kintsuki99]

After everything they did to finish off pendullum the least they could do is allow electruumite back.

[@attilaszanto2275]

Union Carrier is supposed to help the equip effects of Union monsters, but similar to Electrumite with any Pendulums, it's not restricted to Union monsters. If only the summoning were restricted to Union monsters, then it could be unbanned or limited.

[@ducktail4068]

Electrumite while I wont deny its an excellent effect, and excellent support, I still believe pendulums need more help, a limit of 2 for electrumite instead of 1, limit of 2 for chronograph, limit 1 of monkeyboard. Why? Because in master duel, theres a crap ton of negates, negates and destroy, and if electrumite is negated, its now useless and will be destroyed next turn, worse if its negated + destroyed now you cant use it for a linkie, you just used resources for scales and now you have to scoop because the opponent will wipe our your scales, your monsters and have 3 negation monsters+handtraps turn 2.

[@sagacious03]

Neat list video! Thanks for uploading!

[@GeneralNickles]

Every single extra deck monster on the ban list 100% deserves it's place there. (And yes, that includes colossus.) Except electrumite. Pendulums just don't function under master rule 5 without it, and there aren't any over powered pendulum decks for it to abuse. Endymion is the best pendulum deck, but even that wasn't winning tournaments even with electrumite.

[@dustinvance243]

Honestly electrumite can stay banned for all i care. Especially since metalfoes got another link monster in blazing vortex. I'd rather have more links for other pendulum archetypes. Where are my performapal and odd-eyes links konami?!

[@RicardoAlmeidatm]

After the explanation of how pendulum summoning works I still have absolutely no idea how it works.

[@josephwodarczyk977]

If you have a pendulum monster in each pendulum zone (left and right spell/trap zones, ones with the pretty red and blue diamonds), you can summon five monsters from your hand. This also works with pendulum monsters from the extra deck, but with master rule 4 restrictions.

[@06racing]

Thanks for explaining Pendulum monsters.

[@Krokodilius]

they've must've changed how pendulums work when they added the link monster zone because before then you could just summon em all ery time.

[@ThePhoenixWylde]

Yet another video provong to me that all "When" effect cards should be errata'd to "If" and if that would make some cards overpowered, then the banlist can be used. I'd love to see a video showing how powerful some "When" cards would become if they got an errata to their effect to replace "When" with an "If."

[@vo1ce147]

Wait so that how pendulum work, I thought how pendulum work is watching triff making 69 negate through any handtraps.

[@maymainssharedonebraincell6022]

Pendulum got heavily nerfed is kinda an understatement, consider the fact that the entire link monster and master rule 4 is aimed just to hit pendulum mechanic

[@digimonlover1632]

More so every mechanic. Not just pendulum. Sucks that Master Rule 5 didn’t change crap for pendulums.

[@alinepiroutek8932]

Thanks for the Pendulum Summon tutorial. I don't play Yu-Gi-Oh since Xyz and I also don't get anything about Link Summon.

[@adrifitz8793]

I understand why number 95 was banned, but I miss using it along side cipher dragon. Opponent has Infinity, I can take control of it off of cipher dragon, summon dark matter, then use it to mill out Ancients, Arkbrave, and divine dragon lord felgrand. I honestly hope this card comes off the list one day via errata or even power creep

[@zackcampbell1346]

Denglong also let you go into VFD/TKC super easy in dinos as well

[@theduxabides9274]

IMO, a pretty simple way to unban Dark Matter would be to errata it with a hard once per turn and an archetype lock. You can only use either effect once per turn and only once that turn, and you can't special summon monsters from the extra deck except Galaxy-Eyes monsters.

[@therealPayne]

Yea, Summon Sorceress was out for a year IF you got the Jump promo which was only available in NA and hard to get. The rest of us plebs only got to play around with the card for about 5 months as the regular release was in december 2018.

[@Rncko]

15:15 "You cannot use the effects of a card with the same name until the end of the turn" LOL , people will just go back to "Amorphage Goliath" with "Arkbrave Dragon" just like previous meta.

[@kingfatih]

Well yes Dark Matter Dragon got banned when we got the Guardragons, but thats because they made Gandora FTK more consistent - in which Number 95 played a key role. So the FTK is the reason it got actually banned. The fix of not activating the cards it sends that turn wouldnt work, because the worst thing Number 95 can setup is the Amorphage Lock and Arkbrave Dragon would activate its effect in the opponents standby phase to special summon Amorphage Goliath. I wonder how much of a problem that would be these days.

[@butchilassomething3384]

Number 95 is the funniest card for zombie players. Back then you would just banish a solitaire and a spiritmaster in order to destroy one card your opponent controls and then special summon spiritmaster using solitaire. with the modern zombie support, you can also banish even more cards that would give you advantage.

[@coldstonecody]

Not gonna lie I actually had no idea how pendulum summons worked, so thank you for the explanation.

[@alkria]

DuelLogs: 17:21 me who's been playing yugioh for years now and still refuses to learn how pendulum works: um....yeah that looks totally broken yes

[@AnimatedCarl]

Well, it's clearly not that broken since there are 0 relevant Pendulum Decks in the metagame right now or for the past year and a half.

[@munchrai6396]

limiting Denglong and Elecrumite to types rather than just the specific archetype would probably be the more useful way to nerf the cards since it gives you more flexibility. Heck, you could also use Metalfoes' unique status as Normal, Pendulums to restrict it that way

[@LuigisLegend]

Limiting denglong is useless because its an needlefiber target

[@jamessunderlandseventh7410]

Electrumite did nothing wrong at 1! Konami TCG must bring her back to 1!

[@maxh7085]

Free my girl electrumite, she did nothing wrong man, she did nothing wrong whatsoever.

[@cesarmartinez3658]

You are so good at what you do. Thanks for putting out such great content. I don’t even understand the advanced mechanics this game or even play for that matter but you break it down so well !

[@kiss-shot_is_bae]

I can't belive I've been marathoning videos about a tcg I've never actually played

[@golderzoa]

i have a suggestion for your next video: Top 10 early archetypes or cards that received support later or still receive support in the TCG! it'd be cool to know what those archetypes are i know like 2 i wonder if they are more

[@t-vann48]

Would you consider after this series is done doing the same thing, but for limited cards? I think it could be pretty interesting seeing that middle line where the cards are super good, but not quite completely broken and hearing about why that is.

[@13KuriMaster]

How to errata all of these cards to fix them: 1) Make it so the SS happens during the end phase?... or just add in a bunch of restrictions to what can be SS. 2) Another summon from the deck....... limit it to just level 4 or lower and make it so it has to be destroyed to activate that and I think this would be good to go. 3) Probably just Banish the Dragons in your deck (face-down) instead of send them to the GY... the triple foolish was just OP. 4) Maybe make all of it's effects a HOPT? Or limit it to just Metalfoes?

[@TheDuelLogs]

A special summon during the end phase is an interesting idea in regards to Summon Sorc.

[@13KuriMaster]

@@TheDuelLogs I figured that since Draw effects aren't s powerful during the end phase (because your turn is ending so you can't get as much use out of the cards drawn right away), that similar logic could be used for other really strong effects.... and it's what they did with DMoC's spell recovery effect, so it is definitely a possibility for erratas.

[@bastosspinnerocavaleiroint4264]

Yoooo pend best deck! Konami is stupid, bring electrumite back, make pendulum greater again

[@zad_rasera]

PENDULUM BEST DECK BABY LEST GOOOOO

[@PsychoKern]

Electrumite to 1 and Servant Of Endymion to like 2 or possibly 3.....

[@vinnythewebsurfer]

That’s pretty interesting when you think about the extra deck history Fusions and rituals were awful and even into the GX Era, they didn’t know what they were doing even if you can technically say they were improving. Synchros probably had the better mix of awful synchros at its start but also really good ones too and it’s not like fusions and rituals were on a consistently good track so obvious synchros would rule overall by default. Xyz were no different to start but yea you can tell konami started to force their hand to make sure the next Mechanic got used with the synchro bans and powering they’d down only for Xyz to have even more cards banned than synchros could ever have. And then pendulums happened and made the Xyz jerking look mild before Master rule 4 and links came and made Pendulums and the Pepe debacle look tame. It’s no wonder they’ve decided to block off from having a new summoning mechanic and opted to going backwards in time with Rush Duels and even keeping it out of the West. They’ve just become more and more reckless and I don’t think Yugioh could’ve survived a 3rd time of the game being made a joke because konami insisted on making the latest summoning mechanic back breaking.

[@CobaltDraco]

I'm honestly of the opinion that a LOT of cards that have generic materials should be errata-ed to at least partially require monsters within the archetype that they are part of. Perhaps not entirely requiring them, but at least one monster from those archetypes, whether it's the tuner or non-tuner for synchros, at least one monster for links, and so on. Would perhaps also go a long way to make those cards less of absolute staples, as noted for stuff like Denglong. In fact, if they wanted to really go the way of lots of errata, they could even balance it out with some positive erratas, releasing some of both groups in sets. An example of the positive errata I can think of would be changing Gusto Falco to an "if" rather than the current "when."

[@lamarlatimore7802]

[@King-gv4lg]

dark matter should just be limited to one, dragon decks need his power so they can be boosted abit. Imo if limited to one hes not that OP as long as cards like amorphage or that anti extra deck sht abuse is banned

[@jo3y960]

You could probably fix Denglong by just locking it to only wyrm monsters, as so it could be used with Swordsoul and tenyi

[@dudono1744]

since Summon sorceress negates effect of summoned monsters, you could summon monsters with negative effects.

[@amichoyz5141]

well, i've played the clasic one until the last psp series, i think 5ds 6th series ? well, still your video is really have a perfect organizing, straight to the point about what you would review, and its soo relaxing...

[@sonicryder250]

This is why if Odd Eyes got link support I'd have it to where only odd eyes can work with it to keep it from being used universally
